In the continuous victory, the Imperial Commander had the illusion that the Federal Army rarely counterattacked. So in order to make the attack troops easier to supply, the bold Imperial Commander reversed the previous base layout and built a series of bases that were supposed to be placed on the third line of defense, which were the same as the supply transfer base located on the third line of defense. In this way, the attack forces attacking from the defense base do not need to take full supply in the defense base, but can use the material supply from the transfer base halfway through the march. This undoubtedly reduces the logistics in the defense base.

The workload reduces the inconvenience of large-scale application of base facilities and greatly increases the combat radius of the mecha. However, this layout also has the biggest disadvantage, that is, once the enemy breaks through the first defensive outpost, it is difficult for the transit base of the third line of defense to resist the opponent's attack by relying solely on its own garrison troops. This can easily cause a lot of material losses and disperse a lot of defensive forces. However, the commander of this **** Empire laughed out. He believed that even if the Federation counterattacked, the strength of the counterattack was limited.

However, the federal offensive stopped after a fierce day. During the implementation of the third plan, too many mechas were injured and needed to be repaired, especially the troops from Emma. After the implementation of the simple plan No. 1, these troops inevitably had the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy, resulting in heavy losses when attacking the already prepared transit base. Among the twenty-eight mechas that were destroyed, nineteen were reinforced mechas from Emma, ​​which was almost one-third of the mechas that participated in the attack.

In addition to the loss of mechas exceeding the expected expectations, the Federal Army also had to restore some of the defenses of the transit base and outposts, so that it could buy some time for the arrival of reinforcements during the Empire's counterattack.

Only eight troops were ordered to launch an attack this time, which was less damaged in yesterday's attack. Fortunately, there were only eight defense bases in the Empire, which happened to be one in each group. But night felt slim about the hope of being able to capture that base, because this morning the fighter troops brought bad news that the reinforcements of the Empire had arrived at the Red Cloud Front, most of which had gathered in Thirance. The former Thirance garrison troops set out to reinforce the defense base before Thirance. In the photos this morning, the number of mechas at the 67 defense base has reached the scale of one commando, and other bases have increased to varying degrees by one to three commando teams. The federal troops can invest only about one squadron, and the maximum 177 attack units have only fifteen mechas. Only half of the Imperial troops.

Fortunately, Lieutenant General Guderian did not ask the troops to attack desperately. Instead, he characterized the attack as a tentative attack and restrained attack, which means that once the situation is unfavorable, the pilot has the right to retreat on his own.

"Sir, let's take the Mammoth Squadron with us too. That would be better." Qiao knew that the target of the attack had gathered the defensive power of nearly a commando, so he couldn't help but ask Ye to take the Mammoth of that squadron with him. It felt a bit unrealistic to rely on fifteen mechas and one of Ye's chariots to attack his opponent Qiao. The privates of the squadron who followed his troops did not have the skills of the aces. Even if they could kill the opponent one on one, then the Snowy Night Duke Commando and Ye would have to face eighteen mechas, which seemed to be extremely difficult.

"No, Joe. That's what Lieutenant General Guderian meant." Ye shook his head and rejected Qiao's opinion. At this moment, Ye was facing a commando mecha. Once these imperial troops avoided their own reconnaissance. If they raided the 209 base, it would be difficult to defend with three turrets and a squadron mecha. Therefore, after leaving behind 40% of the Imperial mecha troops, Ye also left behind the Mammoth Squadron. This is the minimum defensive force required by Lieutenant General Guderian, and this is done on the entire federal front.

"Aren't that guy very bold in the Battle of Tris? Why are he so careful when he made plans now?" Hearing that it was the lieutenant general's meaning, Joe couldn't help complaining again. The plans formulated by Guderian in the previous battle were quite bold. He gave up Tris' defense, lured the main force of the empire into the scene and gathered all federal troops to siege. At that time, Guderian had never considered the defense of other areas around him, and had completely desperate actions.

"Don't say that Lieutenant General. Joe Tris's Battle, we are in a defensive position, and the Empire's offensive route has been mastered by the Lieutenant General, so the Lieutenant General dares to do that." Richard persuaded Joe.

Smith took over Richard's words and continued: "We are in an offensive position now, and the Empire distributes troops equally to all defense bases. This makes it difficult for us to judge the Imperial Commander's idea. We must also strictly prevent some Imperial Commanders from sneak attacking the base we finally seized while we are not firmly in our foothold. Last night was the best lesson."

"Okay, without the support of Mammoth, we may not be able to beat some Imperial mechas. Isn't it just a little more?" Qiao Man said indifferently, but this guy's tone was a little unconfident. Because he also knew that it would be too difficult to defeat a commando of the Imperial mecha in this mission.

"Then now, we will wait for some mechas that came from Tris. When they take over the defense of Base 209, we will be able to set off." Ye said, as he got up and poured a glass of water on the water dispenser. Then he sat on the commander-in-chief's chair, and paid attention to the desert in the east through the oversized display screen in the command room.

Richard and others poured a glass of water, found a seat to sit and wait. Smith also contacted the operator of the ground listening device and asked that once the footsteps of the mecha were heard in the east, he would immediately notify the command room.

Waiting is always the most uncomfortable. As time goes by, the most impatient Joe has begun to look at his watch impatiently.

"Why is the reinforcement squadron not here yet?" Qiao said on the sofa sitting on the command room. According to the departure time on yesterday's news, the squadron was almost time to arrive, but in the desert east of the base, there was no sound, which made the logistics staff in charge of monitoring the base's listening equipment think something was wrong with the instrument, so they specially arranged for someone to check it, but the result was that the instrument was intact and there was no problem.

"Maybe it was because of something that delayed," Richard said, the most likely situation happened.

"Maybe Lieutenant General Guderian supported one of our squadron's Rangers, so the ground listening device could not be heard." The optimistic Joe always thought about the better.

"If the Rangers float forward, sand and dust should have floated in the east long ago. The sky there is blue now." Smith retorted at the endless blue sky on the display screen.

"What's going on? Why don't we contact Tris to see." Joe suggested, something was wrong now.

"I really have to ask what's going on. Even if there is any change, we should notify us." Ye opened the remote communicator at the base, but there was no silence in the communicator. There was no sound of a call.

"It seems like there is something wrong with our remote communication device." Ye knocked on the communicator panel embedded on the table, as if the instrument could be prepared.

"It's really broken, why don't we try it with the one on the mecha?" Richard reached out and was about to open the door, but the door was opened from outside.

A staff member ran in panic, and didn't even bother to Jing and said to Ye: "Sir. Emergency Communication."

"Don't panic, what's going on? Tell me slowly." Ye stood up, patted the lieutenant's shoulder, and signaled Richard, who was standing at the door, to pour a glass of water.

"Thank you, sir." The lieutenant took the water handed to him by Richard, and turned to the night after saying thanks. "When I was sorting out the cockpit of the major mecha, I suddenly found that the major's mecha had a communication record. It was from the Tris base, and I called it several times in a row. They said in the form of a message that they could not contact our base, and could only send a fighter unit to contact us. Then I contacted Tris base on my own initiative. After they connected, they told me a message that the reinforcements of the squadron did not attack, and our attack operation today was also cancelled. The above asked us to stand by and not actively attack the Imperial troops outside our defense line."

The second lieutenant said a little confused, but the meaning was clear. Ye and the others hoped for did not set out from Tris base for some reason, and the above did not know why the federal army was forbidden to actively attack the imperial forces. These orders made Ye very confused. At this moment, if the Federation attacked one hour later, the Empire would be able to gather defense forces for an extra hour, the longer it would be. The more unfavorable it would be for the Federation to complete the preparatory battle. After all, the Empire's military strength in the Tyrande area was better than the Federation.

"Second Lieutenant, you can immediately call on personnel to repair the remote communication system of the base." Ye knew that the Lieutenant might not know more. To understand what was going on, the only way to communicate directly with the Tris base was to communicate. So Ye found something to send the Lieutenant. Then he called Richard and the other two, ran out of the command room, and ran to the hangar where the mecha was parked.

After the four of them got on their respective mechas, Smith quickly established a shared system for the communication between the four mechas, and then contacted Tris base at night. "This is the 177th attack force contacting Tris base at base 209. Can Tris hear it?"

"This is Tris Base, 177 attack troops, 209 base, thank goodness, I finally contact you, the special major of Ye. I will immediately transfer to Lieutenant General Guderian." The correspondent's voice was relieved, and then the correspondent transferred Ye's communication to Lieutenant General Guderian's office.

"Hello General, hello Lieutenant General." In Guderian's office, Joe and General were also there. The men from Ye and Snow Night Duke Commando immediately saluted the three commanders.

"Slowly, don't be so restrained, everyone." Qiao Jiajiang said with a smile, and after returning a greeting, he said to Ye: "Ye, I knew you would contact us in a hurry, so I also came to Lieutenant General Guderian. This makes it easier for you to find both of us."

Ye nodded and said, "Joe plus general, I hope to understand why today's action was cancelled?" Ye would not call Qiao Jia as uncle when there were others, after all, this would hinder the general's majesty in front of others. If Richard and the other two were also familiar with the general, Ye would not have to pay attention to the title.

Qiao Jia's lips curled slightly, signaling Guderian, who was standing aside, to explain the reason for Ye.

Guderian smiled bitterly and picked up a notice from the table. The notice was covered with the seal of the Supreme Command of the Federation. It seemed that this order was the highest command under the command. Otherwise, it would have been stamped with the seal of the Supreme Commander's authorization.

"From now on, all federal troops will stop any attacks and move to the defensive state. All troops are on standby at the current garrison, waiting for review by the gendarmerie troops." Guderian still said the content of the order in very concise language, and then put the order into the scanner and said, "The copy will be uploaded to your mecha immediately, you can see it yourself."

Beeping, with a crisp reminder, the map monitor in the cockpit of the mecha suddenly changed into the command with a handsome seal. The four of them browsed quickly, and the content of the command was exactly what Guderian said.

"How could this happen? Don't you know that we are fighting with the Empire here." Ye frowned and said.

"They know, but they still decided to let us stop the war for the time being." Qiao Jia sighed. This armistice order gave the Empire a chance to breathe, allowing the Empire's commanders to reorganize their strength and counterattack the power of the Federation.

"What are the gendarmeries doing?" Qiao asked curiously. The gendarmeries in the army, which serve as law enforcement teams, have no good reputation, and no soldier wants to be targeted by these guys.

"The sequelae of the rebellion of the 11th Fleet. A rebellion of a united fleet has never happened in federal history. This incident made the old people in the House of Representatives always afraid of another united rebellion in their own troops. Therefore, under the strong pressure of these fools, the military chiefs made up their minds to suspend the military's actions and carry out a thorough cleaning. Of course, the uncooperation of Marshal Apudui and the other four marshals are indispensable. Otherwise, a highly concentrated supreme commander would not be merciless at the mercy of the House of Representatives." Qiao Jiajiang said with a wry smile that such large-scale purges are definitely a shame for the army, and that is a manifestation of the high-level suspicion of the army.

"The damn eleventh Fleet will be destroyed and harming people." When he mentioned the eleventh Fleet, Ye couldn't help but feel angry.

"Calm down, Ye." Qiao Jia raised his hand and pressed him down for a moment, asking Ye to calm down, "This is not the time to investigate who should be responsible for this order. The military command has been issued, and we may not violate it, so we can only move to the defense at this moment. If there are large-scale mobilizations of troops here, it seems that some gendarmes inside will be nervous, haha."

"Then won't our troops be able to be mobilized now?" Ye frowned again. If he could not mobilize the troops, it means that the federal troops may be defeated by the imperial troops at this time. (~^~)
