Ji Xinghe immediately took his independent regiment and the logistics company assigned to him in the Western Theater Command to give up outpost No. 1837, which he had only regained one day.

Without a repaired defense line, there is no way to withstand the empire's attack. Needless to say, what will happen if it is surrounded.

No matter how good Ji Xinghe is, he cannot defeat 600 Imperial mechas head-on with a single armor, not even with the help of Qin Tong and others.

The Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps, which has a total of 104 mechas, has too many new recruits, and it is now difficult for them to truly unleash the power of the mountain-slaying mechas.

The suggestion from the Western Theater Command was for Ji Xinghe to abandon his defensive line, so when Ji Xinghe led his troops to evacuate, everyone in the command breathed a sigh of relief.

However, their breath did not last long.

"Report, General Ji Xinghe ordered the Galaxy Mecha Independent Corps to turn. The target direction is the south of the canyon, where there are three hundred Imperial Mechas."

Six hundred Imperial mechas bypassed outpost 1837 from two directions at the same time, with three hundred mechas in each direction from the south and north. Their purpose is not difficult to determine, they must be preparing to bypass outpost 1837.

The convergence is completed.

Either turn back and attack outpost 1837, forming a pincer attack with the imperial forces sent from outpost 1840. Or use the attacking forces from outpost 1840 as a cover to intercept the federal forces advancing from outpost 1829.

Therefore, Ji Xinghe must evacuate before they complete the rendezvous. It is precisely because of the withdrawal of the independent regiment that the imperial mecha corps on both sides chose to continue to penetrate deeper.

So Ji Xinghe saw an opportunity.

"General Ji Xinghe wants to fight? But they only have one hundred and four mechas, and their logistical support is seriously insufficient."

"There is indeed a big gap in numbers, but the problem is that General Ji Xinghe's independent regiment is full of mountain-killing mechas. Judging from the overall performance of the mechas, it is not impossible for one hundred and four to defeat three hundred."

"Yes, General Ji Xinghe is here, and the Galaxy Independent Regiment also has nine ace mecha warriors including Qin Tong, and four ace-exclusive mechas. If we really fight, there is actually a chance."

"What a chance, the 1837 to 1836 defense line, the width of the canyon is only 39 kilometers, how long will it take for the support of the 300 imperial mechas in the north to pass?"

"It cannot be said that there is no chance, but the chance is indeed small, because that section is a double canyon terrain, and our closest troops are in the northern canyon. If we want to support it, we have to take a detour and then turn back. The support speed is not as fast as the empire."

The Battle Scar Canyon is not just one road from beginning to end, but a complex canyon terrain that stretches for 4,500 kilometers. The widest part is like a plain, but most areas are as rugged as mountains.

There are also many double-canyon and triple-canyon terrains. In addition to the two southernmost and northernmost cliffs with an average height of eight kilometers, there are also rugged and intermittent mountains in the middle, so the canyon is divided into two or three...

…

This is one of the reasons why multiple outposts are built on a defense line. Another important reason is that some areas of the canyon are simply too wide.

"Report, there is news from the Independent Regiment. It is Colonel Qin Tong. He said that they may not necessarily fight, but are just here to scare the imperial mechas."

"..."

The command center suddenly became quiet. One hundred and four federal mechas were going to scare six hundred imperial mechas?

"It is indeed the independent regiment of General Ji Xinghe." After the commander praised him, he said with a dark face: "Be prepared to respond. If a battle breaks out, the independent regiment must return to outpost No. 1829 at all costs."

"yes."

This order made Liu Mian and Tang Qiao, who were at the headquarters, frown slightly.

As colonel staff officers, there is no doubt about the professionalism of the two of them. The focus of the commander's order lies in the four words "prepare to respond", and there is a big difference between the four words "prepare to support".

But they did not interfere with the command of the Western Theater Command. Liu Mian did not have the relevant authority, and Tang Qiao could not go too far.

He had just convinced Kent Weiss and finalized the plan to hand over the western theater to Ji Xinghe. If Kent Weiss figured it out, he could tear up the plan at any time. If he did it too obviously at this time, he would undoubtedly be helping Kent.

Weiss wanted to understand.

How could someone who could become a three-star federal general and be in charge of the entire Battle Scar Canyon theater really be a fool?

When everyone in the headquarters was paying attention to the independent regiment's intimidation operation, another piece of information appeared.

"Report, the three hundred imperial mechas in the northern canyon have turned around. Based on the judgment of their action routes, it is basically certain that their goal is to intercept the independent regiment."

"Send the information to the Independent Regiment immediately."

"yes."

People who originally had a mentality of just watching the excitement became really nervous.

…

"Commander, they are coming."

"kindness."

The voice that sounded in the captain's communication channel of the independent group was very calm. None of the ten captains and Ji Xinghe who were in this channel were nervous because the six hundred imperial mechas began to converge.

The independent regiment with one hundred and four mechas was divided into ten squads during combat. They were commanded by nine ace mecha warriors including Qin Tong and Jiang Yun. In Jiang Yun's squad, there was also Chu

Feng and other veterans were there, and their number was the largest among all the squads, but there were only a few more.

Ji Xinghe once again entered the status of a single soldier.

In fact, this method of division cannot maximize the combat effectiveness of the independent group. Assemble Qin Tong and other ace mecha warriors, or gather veterans other than the ace mecha warriors, and be led by Ji Xinghe personally as the arrow team.

This is the strongest fighting form of the independent group.

When an encounter occurs, the Arrow Team must destroy the enemy's strongest mecha and kill the enemy's mecha cluster formation, allowing other teams to fight more calmly.

But what the independent regiment needs most now is troop training, so this division method is the most appropriate.

"Regiment Commander, the southern Empire mecha is five kilometers away from us, and the northern Empire mecha is 19 kilometers away from us. At the current speed, they will be able to complete the rendezvous directly in front of us in thirteen minutes."

The intelligence from the Federation has never stopped. Imperial mechas operating in large groups can easily detect their precise movements during the day by the Federation's reconnaissance satellites and various detectors arranged in the canyon.

This gives the independent group a more comprehensive perspective than the Imperial mechas. Combined with the complex terrain in the canyon, there is actually a lot of room for maneuver.

Ji Xinghe looked at the picture on his visual window, feeling very calm, and then issued an order that made everyone in the Western Theater Command tremble with fear.

"All have, turn, target, Southern Empire mecha."

"yes."

One hundred and three mechas completed the turns one after another when the mecha driven by Ji Xinghe completed the turn first and gave the order.

The speed difference between them is not obvious, and the training effect of mechas walking in unison, which looks simple but is actually very difficult, is revealed at this time.

Relying on small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the empire discovered the movements of the independent regiments. They were also able to maintain communications and quickly made changes.

The three hundred Imperial mechas located in the north directly pursued the back of the independent group at full speed, while the three hundred imperial mechas located in the south also completed the turn and began to charge at full speed from the position of the independent group at this time.

.

A pincer attack had taken shape, but the tense Western Theater Command did not issue any orders to the Independent Regiment. Instead, it continued to urge the frontline troops to move closer to the location of the Independent Regiment, while emphasizing that it was ready to respond.

None of them are worried that Ji Xinghe will die, and the ace mecha warriors like Qin Tong are also not worried about being sacrificed.

As for whether the new recruits of the Independent Regiment will die? Millions of people have already sacrificed in this canyon, a few more, not too many, not a few too few.

Just when the Independent Regiment was about to turn into a sandwich cookie, changes occurred again that shocked both the federal and imperial headquarters in the Western Theater.

The independent group that was charging towards the southern Empire mecha suddenly made a turnaround maneuver, and then began to charge towards the Empire mecha in the northern canyon at full speed that had never been shown before.

The three hundred imperial mechas that were originally chasing them turned into charging face to face with them.

The distance is only three kilometers.

This is really too short for the Federation and Empire mechas charging face to face.

"Retreat, retreat immediately."

The empire was located in the headquarters of the Battle Scar Canyon. General Yinan gave the order without hesitation: "The No. 2 Corps immediately retreated and kept a distance, waiting for the support of the No. 1 Corps."

The three hundred imperial mechas that charged face to face with the Independent Regiment seemed to have completely forgotten their numerical advantage and the advantage of reinforcements. After the Independent Regiment, they made a turning maneuver and began to charge towards the south without looking back.

But the performance of their mechas was not even a little bit inferior to that of Zhanshan from the independent group. With both sides running at full speed, the distance had been shortened to two kilometers.

Moreover, the distance between the Empire's No. 1 Mecha Corps, which was chasing behind the Independent Regiment, and the Independent Regiment was once again stretched to ten kilometers.

Seeing this, Yinan became confused.

A staff member nearby suggested: "Actually, we can let the No. 2 Corps turn around and fight Ji Xinghe. If we have the advantage in numbers, we can completely hold on until the support of the No. 1 Corps is in place. Then, we can wipe out Ji Xinghe's soldiers as much as possible.

"

Yinan had a good temper and shook his head slightly and said: "No, Ji Xinghe is too strong, and his soldiers are also very strong. They can directly kill the No. 2 Corps and then escape with the speed advantage of the mecha. Not only that.

In this way, once the No. 2 Corps is disabled, we can only let the two Corps join together to pursue. Ji Xinghe will be able to engage in guerrilla warfare and tug-of-war with us, gradually cannibalizing the two Corps."

The staff said: "Then let the No. 2 Corps continue to run. As long as it reaches the edge of the canyon, it can use the terrain to restrict Ji Xinghe's soldiers. The No. 1 Corps will open its formation in advance. If Ji Xinghe dares to lead the troops to turn around and attack the No. 1 Corps, the No. 1 Corps will

The corps will be able to attack them from behind."

Yinan frowned and said, "The problem now is that the No. 2 Corps cannot reach the edge of the canyon."

The staff once again suggested: "If we maintain the formation, we will indeed not be able to escape, but what if we let the No. 2 Corps spread out and run?"

After a slight hesitation, Yinan ordered: "Let the No. 2 Corps disperse and run, and be prepared to assemble and turn around at any time. Once they disperse, Ji Xinghe will most likely turn around to attack the No. 1 Corps."

"yes."

After the order was given, the Empire's No. 2 Corps, which was being chased by the independent regiment, suddenly spread out in a fan shape.

The reaction of the independent regiment did not exceed Yinan's expectations. They turned around again to face the No. 1 Corps and began to charge at full speed.

The No. 2 Corps, which had been well prepared, immediately began to assemble and turn around, and also pursued the Independent Regiment again.

The three mecha corps, with a total of 704 mechas, maneuvered and charged in this canyon as if they were playing with a handkerchief, leaving everyone in the Western Theater Command stunned.

"No, the Northern Empire mecha corps has stopped charging. They will wait for the independent group at the same place. Please inform General Ji Xinghe immediately."
