"Are you afraid? What are you afraid of? The battlefields we fight are different from those of the Buos rookies. We are in town wars. Before, your elders and brave soldiers of the Resistance Army repelled the attacks of the Empire again and again without the help of mechas. Are you still afraid with their help?" The most proud thing about the Resistance Army is their infantry. The Resistance Army soldiers who have a spirit of fearlessness have been tempered by actual combat and have the combat effectiveness of the Empire and the Federal regular troops. In some occasions, they can even be comparable to elite troops.

The night words made the pilots below lit up. Indeed, in the previous battles, the infantry of the Resistance Army used their flesh and blood to resist the Empire's steel offensive again and again. These extremely powerful infantry soldiers were able to raid the bases of the Empire's mecha guards and snatch the crucial mechas, ammunition and parts for their pilots.

"They are our pride, instructors, and we will not embarrass the Resistance Army." Wang Hui's face was a little hideous. In his memory, he clearly remembered that Joni was lying on a stretcher covered in blood and was sent back to the Gobi. He stroked his head with his rough but warm hands, told about his combat experience, and described how he snatched out some 60-ton steel giants from the heavily defended imperial base and transported them to the Gobi of the Resistance Army.

"What a small ambition, is it enough to not be embarrassed?"

"Report to the instructor, we will definitely be the pride of the resistance army." The pilots shouted loudly.

Ye's motivation maximized the morale of Pluto Cross, but in the face of the Imperial Army that had an absolute advantage, Ye herself knew that Pompeii would not be able to defend it. For this reason, Mrs. Ames specially sent her guard to contact Ye, and prepared a route to quickly retreat to the federal area for the pilot who was not killed in the battle. These latest warthog jeep were arranged in the sand dunes near Pompeii by some loyal soldiers.

The Empire seemed to want to demonstrate the courage of their army with a perfect victory. They spent a whole week preparing their army and adjusting their supplies. It was worth spending this time, so that their troops could have more lasting combat power. Their frontline commander, Lieutenant General Kay Pernilus, was ready to fight to the resistance army's nest, Gobi.

The reorganization of the Imperial Army also gave the Resistance Army more time to improve their defenses, and a high-density ground-night belt was laid in front of Pompeii. The Third Artillery Battalion of the three artillery battalions of the Resistance Army also joined the sequence of defense forces, greatly increasing the heavy firepower of the town. Zakayev, the new leader of the Resistance Army, also sent the Third Battalion of his elite guard regiment to the front line to encourage morale, and this unit will represent him. Fighting on the front line of the Resistance Army's exchange of fire with the Empire.

The night in the desert that is spring is still as cold as winter, but Bech and Mas seem very hot. The roar of guns and cannons echoed over the town, and the fireballs that burst from time to time reflect the dark night above the town like day.

Although the empire strengthened the martial law in the city, a large number of resistance soldiers still mixed into these two important towns and began to carry out the tasks assigned by their leaders, destroying the imperial supplies and snatching the imperial mechas.

The Resistance Army's preemptive sneak attack achieved good results in the early stage. The Imperial Curfew Patrol Team was almost wiped out by them. The Resistance Army's team changed from a guerrilla soldier of more than 100 people to an armed team of nearly 1,000 people. The unarmed townsmen entered the hidden location of the Resistance Army's weapons and took weapons under the leadership of the Resistance Army's soldiers. Then these people followed the large army to guard the heavily guarded Imperial Military Base.

The guerrillas of the resistance army were not as impulsive as the townsmen. They held anti-tank particle rockets and hid in the assault team, staring at the streets like an eagle. Some of the team members walked on both sides of the team, and placed a large amount of explosives in their bulging backpacks on their backs.

The imperial troops placed several barbed wires at the gate of the base to try to stop the mob, but the mobs inside were not unarmed people, but armed militia equipped with a large number of light weapons. The sentries of the empire were almost instantly stunned by the opponent's firepower, and hid in the fortifications and shouted for help with the phone.

Kai's staff officer was no longer surprised by the riots. He did not wake Kai up, but directly ordered the mecha troops to dispatch. In the past, basically as long as the mecha troops were dispatched, the mob would collapse at once.

The appearance of the Imperial Mecha was immediately warmly welcomed, and dozens of rockets flocked to cover the mechas in flames. However, the shield that had just been equipped in front of the Imperial Mechas turned the resistance of the resistance army into vanishing. Facing the crowd, the bear-like one-eyed eye that moved the shield away, emitted a hideous red.

When a large number of townsmen attracted the attention of the Imperial troops, members of the Resistance Blasting Team secretly approached the tall reinforced concrete wall of the Imperial Base through the cover of the street buildings. The wall breaker was tightly stuck to the weak part of the wall by these well-trained people. With a roar, the Imperial wall was opened with a large hole that could accommodate two people passing through.

More than 20 blasting teams entered in a row. They had to seize the time to find the Imperial ammunition warehouse or mecha hangar, because their time was all exchanged for the towns in front of the Imperial Barracks. The three-man commando team dispersed from the entrance and rushed to the largest buildings in the Imperial Barracks. The resistance army at the door began to use small mortars to attack the Imperial Base, mixed with a lot of smoke bombs and tear gas, all of which were to cause chaos in the Imperial Army. Only in the chaos could their blasting team blow up more valuable targets.

Bang, the gunshots of the sniper rifle are so unique that the noisy gunshots at the door cannot be covered at all. A member of the resistance blasting team was knocked away heavily, and the extremely penetrating and destructive large-caliber sniper bullet stirred the internal organs into a ball of meat as soon as it entered the human body.

Obviously, there were more than one snipers in the Empire. After two rounds of shooting, 90% of the people in the Resistance Blasting Team became corpses lying on the ground. No one could escape when they were attacked by snipers, not to mention that the site was still a familiar place for snipers. The Resistance Blasting Team was severely damaged by the Imperial Army, which was guarding. The remaining personnel had been suppressed by the snipers, and what was waiting for them was the clearance of the Imperial infantry. Their hidden areas might be thrown into a few hands, or they were directly burned into coke by the Imperial Fire Sprayers. The explosion soldiers all knew their ending, so they all took off their backpacks and began to set some powerful explosives.

The townsmen in front of the base also suffered a devastating blow, unlike the previous imperial troops. This time, the Imperial Army spread death without any scruples and did not mind the collapse of buildings around the military camp. In the face of such destructive blow, the human body seemed so fragile. Against the backdrop of several fireballs rising from the Imperial Base, the resistance army wisely chose to retreat in the blood of the human body on the street.

"It seems that we are still too kind to the untouchables." He was awakened by the sound of gunfire and looked at the massacre in front of the base gate, and said to his adjutant.

"After all, the people are the foundation of the empire. When these untouchables truly join the empire, they can become the power of the empire, so the superiors do not allow us to kill these untouchables at will."

"It's really troublesome." Kai frowned and ordered, "Let the 74th Desert Infantry Division draw a regiment after the battle and concentrate the townsmen in the eastern city to guard the town. At this moment when the Empire is about to have a large operation, I don't want to happen tonight again."

"I understand. Sir."

The failure of the Resistance Army's sneak attack troops did not affect the morale of the infantry. On the contrary, the thick and tall men had a hint of excitement on their faces. The happy expression of meeting a good opponent made the uninformed person think that the Resistance Army won a great victory in last night's operation. At least when Ye asked about the second lieutenant company commander's gains from their army, they were embarrassed by the other party's answer.

"Your infantry in the Resistance Army are all freaks." Ye, who was depressed, complained to Wang Hui who was smirking on the side.

"Uncle and the others are our pride. Usually, some imperial soldiers were beaten to pieces. Uncle often complained that the imperial soldiers were bullied by mechas without fighting. Last night, the Empire wiped out the resistance troops inside the base, but they did not use mechas, which means that the infantry quality of the Empire's troops is good."

Wang Hui's explanation made Ye hear the black lines all over his head. Although the resistance infantry was strong, he would not have reached the realm of Dugu Qiubai.

The Resistance Army was not discouraged by the failure. On the contrary, they still organized a sneak attack at night. However, due to the tactics of clearing the fields of Kaigu, they had no ability to attack the Imperial Base without the cover of the townsmen. On the contrary, some soldiers attacking the supply convoy successfully captured an Imperial ammunition supply convoy with only a small number of infantry guards. However, because the Imperial soldiers destroyed all the tires before retreating, the soldiers could only burn more than ten cars of ammunition.

The Empire would not allow the resistance army to harass, and the Imperial Mecha troops began to frequently leave the front line near Pompeii. In the next few days, Wolf Cavalry fired rockets and missiles at Pompeii every day. Although most of the missiles and rockets were intercepted, some of the fish that escaped the net inevitably caused some casualties to some civilians.

This situation of mutual harassment lasted for a whole week, and the empire finally decided to start attacking Pompeii. The huge mecha troops were dispatched, and the dust caused by the dust covered the sky. Major General Kai left a squadron of mechas for each of the two towns as a garrison, and set off with the mecha troops.

"Ninety-six?" The information of the resistance army was handed over to Ye's hands at the first time. The number of mechas in the first row of intelligence made Ye scream. Although Ye had already known that an integrated mecha corps in the empire was involved in the clearing operation, he did not expect that the commander of the empire would dare to put this force into the attack on Pompeii at one time. In Ye's opinion, it was most appropriate to arrange a mecha of about one and a half commando as an attack force, and a squadron mecha as a reserve.

"Yes, sir," Joni confirmed, "the 29th Light Cavalry Regiment and the 74th Desert Infantry Division were set out with the Imperial Desert Infantry Division. Among them, the 29th Light Cavalry Regiment was a mechanized regiment mainly composed of armored vehicles and motorized infantry, and the 74th Infantry Division was also an elite division dedicated to field battles in desert areas."

"It seems that the empire is really doing it. It uses almost a whole elite division to fight a small town." Ye said with emotion. When the Federation attacked Emma, ​​it only used two divisions of troops, and Emma was much larger than Pompeii.

"Our military strength is not much worse than the empire. Moreover, the Light Cavalry Regiment has only more than 700 personnel, more than fifty armored vehicles, and the infantry division, the troops they invested are only less than 9,000, not many, sir."

"Well, I know. Our infantry is indeed not less than the empire. The Third Division of the Resistance Army here is also an elite force that has been through the battlefield for a long time. However, the opponent has mechanized troops, and the opponent's mecha has too obvious advantages. You must know that if a commando's mecha is in the urban terrain, it will almost annihilate a regiment and more than a thousand people in battle. Of course, this is when the opponent does not have a large number of anti-armor weapons." Ye said cautiously. A regiment has a special anti-armor company, but these anti-armor weapons do not pose too much threat to a commando mecha, whether in terms of damage or quantity. The situation of the resistance army is worse than this now. Their brigade-level units, even division-level units, may not be able to produce a reorganized anti-armor company.

"Sir, I know, so each of us brought anti-armor ammunition, and our soldiers were the best anti-mech weapons." Joni patted his chest. What he meant was human bombs. A squad carried anti-mech soldiers and paralyzed a mech.

Ye looked at Joni, who was emitting a firm gaze helplessly, and suddenly remembered the words of the instructor in the training camp before, and it was not weapons but people who decided to win the battlefield.

The sunset gradually sets, and the black sky covers the desert. Tomorrow's Pompeii is destined to be uneasy.

Pompeii's personnel were ready, a large number of civilians were moved to underground bunkers, and soldiers also entered the building, waiting for their posts to enter the town.

The prelude of the Empire's attack opened at midnight, and nearly 150 artillery pieces of three artillery regiments began to sprint the night zone in front of Pompeii. The dense air-explosion grenades exploded in the desert. Two hours later, the Imperial artillery destroyed the night zone that the resistance army had worked hard for two nights. (To be continued.)
