Chapter 180 Chess and the Cicada(1/2)
More and more federal mechas came to support them. In order to prevent being ambushed by enemies whose positions were unclear, they chose to rendezvous in a safe area, preparing to gather all their strength before starting a battle with the imperial mechas.
If you fight with more and less, even if you can't win completely, the victory is definitely undoubted.
Maintaining a distance of about 1.2 kilometers, the supporting federal mechas used themselves as a transit point, forming a tight communication network.
"No enemies found in area 25."
"No enemies found in area 46."
"No enemies found in area 37."
Intelligence information one after another was shared by the mecha warriors in the relevant areas. Almost all the mecha warriors were able to obtain this information, but only a few were able to discover problems from it.
Ji Xinghe is one of the very few.
With the mecha team led by Jackson as the center point, a radius of ten kilometers was divided into many areas. The federal mechas occupied some of the areas in small teams and waited quietly. They found no trace of the imperial mechas.
.
It sounds like there are only thirty ordinary imperial mechas led by two earl-level mechas within a radius of ten kilometers. With the current number of federal mechas, even if the opponent has earl-level mechas
The goal of annihilation can also be achieved.
"Team No. 3, march three hundred meters to Area 23."
Ji Xinghe's voice rang out from the communication channel, and after several rounds of transmission, it reached the ears of the mecha warriors of Team 3: "If you find an enemy, retreat."
"yes."
Team No. 3 immediately began to take action, and while they were taking action, Ji Xinghe continued to issue instructions.
"Team No. 4, march five hundred meters to Area 26. If you find an enemy, retreat."
"Team No. 5..."
"Team No. 6..."
Orders were issued one after another, and without any clear objection from the special-level Jackson, all the federal mecha warriors responded immediately and implemented them.
Some of them didn't understand why Ji Xinghe did this, and some of them thought of something, but they couldn't understand how Ji Xinghe did it.
Ji Xinghe did not explain to anyone, and did not stop in place to wait for information. Based on the analysis of the existing intelligence, he controlled the mecha and started running. His running direction seemed irregular, and from time to time
Make inexplicable maneuvers.
Like a lost lamb in a dust storm.
But what no one knew at this time was that the purpose of Ji Xinghe's continuous running and maneuvering was actually very clear. The area within a radius of ten kilometers formed a structure in his mind like a Go board.
Three-quarters of the area is in fog.
Those federal mecha warriors that were scattered and constantly executing his orders were the white chess pieces on this huge chessboard.
The chessboard filled with fog gradually became clearer as these chess pieces moved, and the imperial mechas hidden in the foggy area were finally discovered like black chess pieces.
"In area 42, six imperial mechas were discovered."
"retreat."
Ji Xinghe, who completed the steering maneuver again, was actually very close to Area 42. He was already running in this direction before he got the information, so at this time he was directly communicating with the federal mecha team in the area.
connect.
After receiving the intelligence immediately and conveying the order immediately, the federal mecha team in the area will naturally retreat as soon as possible.
"They're chasing us."
The sound that the communication channel continues to sound indicates that the discovered imperial mecha has received relevant instructions before, and it must launch an attack as soon as it is discovered or discovered.
"retreat."
Ji Xinghe emphasized again that there was no change in the running speed and the traveling route was already straight.
The Federation mechas that looked like white chess pieces soon appeared in his sight. The number of these Federation mechas that had been retreating in compliance with his orders was actually more than the Empire mechas that looked like black chess pieces.
They can actually fight.
So when they received Ji Xinghe's continuous orders to retreat, their internal communication channels also sounded different voices.
"Let's fight back, captain."
"Yes, now we are using more to fight less, and we can definitely fight. If their support is nearby, then we will become using less to fight more."
"They must have support nearby, otherwise how dare they pursue us?"
"Lieutenant Ji Xinghe's combat effectiveness is very strong, but he doesn't seem to have learned how to command a battle. His decision-making is probably wrong."
"Shut up and obey orders."
Although he said this, the captain of the mecha team felt a little uncomfortable because Ji Xinghe actually had no command authority over them.
How about asking Major Jackson?
Just when the captain was about to contact Jackson, he saw a mecha running out of the dust storm. Judging from the model and the number of gold stars on its chest, it must be Ji Xinghe.
"Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, we..."
Before the captain finished speaking, Ji Xinghe had already issued a new order.
"Move sideways and surround them."
Surrounded?
good.
The ten federal-standard mechas that were 'escaping' had been patient for a long time. At this time, they finally received the order and began to complete the lateral maneuvers with great excitement.
The ten mechas that originally ran like arrows completed the change in formation in a very short period of time. The two sides of the arrow stretched out, as if from one corner of an isosceles triangle to the right angle of a right triangle.
, and with their sideways maneuvers, this angle continued to expand.
When the six imperial mechas in pursuit saw this scene, they started to brake at the same time. They wanted to turn around and pull in a roundabout way. They did not choose to break out to both sides because the federal mechas had already surrounded the two men directly in front of them.
side.
Seeing the reaction of the imperial mechas and their relatively slow start when they suddenly stopped and then turned around to maneuver, the mecha warriors in this mecha team finally understood what Ji Xinghe had just done to keep them retreating.
reason.
If these imperial mechas are not allowed to chase them, it will actually be difficult for them to catch up with these imperial mechas in a short time.
It is even possible that if you chase after you, you will end up surrounded by imperial mechas.
When their hearts suddenly became enlightened, they saw a mecha passing through the gap between them, rushing towards the six imperial mechas at a very high speed, and soon separated from their formation.
gap.
"Lieutenant Ji Xinghe, you should..."
Maintain formation.
This is the reminder that the leader of the mecha team wanted to say, but he couldn't finish what he said. Even if he said it, it would have no meaning. Without enough formation training and not understanding them, Ji Xinghe would be difficult to perfect.
integrated into their formation.
If you can't blend in, then don't blend in.
Only by fighting alone can Ji Xinghe's combat power advantage be brought into play, which is also his greatest advantage.
Because he is not a black or white piece on this chessboard, but a chess piece that mistakenly entered the Go board.
When charging alone, he is the car.
When leveraging the momentum of other mecha warriors to expand his single-soldier breakthrough advantage, he is the cannon.
After rushing into the enemy formation, rushing left and right, and constantly crossing at angles that the imperial mecha could not predict, he was a horse.
Rooks, horses, and cannons can all capture the enemy's chess pieces, but the enemy's chess pieces are Go pieces, and can only be captured after completing the encirclement.
This is also true. If you want to defeat Ji Xinghe, you must surround him with a large number of mechas. Even if he is faced with an earl-level mecha, he is not afraid at all.
Amidst the roar, the mecha sword with high-frequency oscillation characteristics easily cut off the weapon of an imperial mecha. Ji Xinghe, whose speed did not slow down, quickly rushed to the side of the second imperial mecha.
Swing the knife.
The sparks caused by metal friction disappeared in the dust storm. The originally intact Imperial mecha had a crack in the protective armor on its side. This wound was not fatal. If it were the only wound, it would not even be harmful to the Empire.
How much impact does the mecha's combat effectiveness have?
But Ji Xinghe's knife is very sharp, and what he wants to break is not only the protective armor of the imperial mecha, but also the energy transmission board located there.
After only one hit, the Imperial mecha experienced an imbalance in its energy supply, and was defeated by the Federation mecha that arrived later with an absolute advantage of two to one.
Ji Xinghe's battle was still going on. When he was driving the mecha in the dust storm, he seemed to have turned into the wind and was closely connected with the dust storm, making it impossible for these imperial mechas in the dust storm to escape.
Two mecha swords can easily cause damage to the imperial mecha, and these damages are enough for the federal mecha, which already has a numerical advantage, to win this battle with a complete victory.
But from the perspective of defeating the imperial mecha, Ji Xinghe failed to get even a single gold star in this battle.
Is this the reason why Han Li, Jackson and the others have never been able to become ace?
So, is it more important to become an ace mecha warrior and obtain federal resources and personal honor, or is it more important to help your teammates as much as possible and win the battle with a complete victory?
Ji Xinghe did not consider this answer. Just as Ji Rong Xinyue said to him before he came this time, there are many people he knows in Base 6, and he wants to protect these people.
To be continued...
