The right trump card

"You can save Ji Xinghe, but you can't save the Independence Group."

The voice coming from the Azure Star made Li Yuanba give up the idea of ​​hijacking the individual starship he was on. Although he did not agree with the truth of this sentence, he could not deny that it was indeed true.

Three minutes ago, did you guess that Ji Xinghe would choose to rescue the mercenary group?

Li Yuanba thought about the communication delay from the Azure Star to the alien planet, the flying speed of the individual starships, and the precise timing of these words, but he didn't have the slightest intention to admire the other party's wisdom.

It's true that this man is his biological father, but the things that this man has done in the past few years that have made everyone in the federation admire him make him want to recognize him as his father.

"why?"

Li Yuanba did not ask Li Anbang in reply. The communication delay was too long. It took three minutes to transmit the message. It took another three minutes for Li Anbang to reply after Li Anbang answered. Moreover, he knew how Li Anbang would answer him without asking him.

No, it shouldn't be said as an answer, it should be said as a rebuke.

The person he chose to ask was Ji Xinghe, and the question had nothing to do with Li Anbang's words/orders. The suggestive tone made Ji Xinghe, who was still in the individual starship, silent for several seconds before he answered.

"Buy people's hearts."

"shit!"

"Are you talking about your problem?"

"..." Li Yuanba said in an angry tone: "You are awesome."

He knew very well that these two sentences from Ji Xinghe had the same meaning, although he was not sure whether Li Anbang had simultaneously transmitted the words he just said to him to Ji Xinghe, or whether Ji Xinghe had the authority to hear them.

talk.

But just like Li Anbang was able to know Ji Xinghe's choice in advance, why couldn't Ji Xinghe guess Li Anbang's choice in advance?

I don't need anyone to resolve my knot.

Seeing that the individual starship he was on had successfully ascended into space and continued flying in the direction of the Nantianmen Space Station, Li Yuanba had no choice but to access the perspective of the second theater.

After a series of battles, the independent group that still maintains a state of complete victory is most worried about the three hundred Zhanshan Jia. Although they have successfully merged with the mechanic team led by Shen Mu, they are still being pursued.

retreat state.

It can be summed up in four words - repair and withdraw at the same time.

The mechanic team that boarded the Heian space battleship and landed in advance in the direction of the Independence Regiment's retreat seemed to have been well prepared. They not only brought their mechanic tools, but also several transport vehicles with mainly mechanical repair functions.

The first thing that needs to replace the nuclear fuel cell is the captains of the independent regiments who have not joined the Galaxy Team. Their mechas are only general-level, and their performance is actually not weaker than that of national-level mechas. After all, the core engines and other major components used are completely

They are the same, the only difference lies in the two aspects of defense and battery life.

While running, Jiang Yun and others successfully jumped onto a transport vehicle driven by an elite driver. The mechanics, who had already entered a state of frenzy, were just like the auto repairmen at the Azure Star top formula event many years ago.

The team, when the mecha appeared next to them, was well-trained, each performed its duties, and worked seamlessly together to perform mechanical repairs on the mecha at a very high speed, including but not limited to replacing the nuclear fuel cell.

Chen Mu had been in the machine repair area of ​​Base 6, constantly exerting severe pressure on the mechanics/soldiers, and the benefits showed at this moment.

After the captain-level mechas are repaired, there will be three hundred Zhanshanjias. According to the remaining energy and damage level of each mecha, as well as the mental and physical condition of the mecha warriors, multiple communication vehicles and honeycomb signal bombs will be used.

, the independent regiment that maintained communication capabilities was supported by the computing and analysis capabilities of the Second Theater Command and Tu Yuan's headquarters.

When the order of maintenance is determined, the entire machine repair operation seems to be in order.

But there are too many mechas in need of repair. The independent regiment's Zhanshanjia not only needs to replace the nuclear fuel cell, but also needs repairs for the damage that occurred in previous battles.

Under normal circumstances, the machine repair capabilities of an operating section in the machine repair area can repair a mecha with this level of damage within an hour. And how many machine repair teams can there be in Base 6?

There are two other prerequisites that the current independent group cannot meet.

The machine repair area has complete tools, materials, parts, etc., and the maintenance environment in the machine repair area is much better than that on the battlefield.

"According to the current speed at which the Independent Regiment and the Empire's mechas are chasing troops, we can only urgently repair one hundred and nine Mountain Killer armors before the Independent Regiment is overtaken."

"We must also consider the physical and mental state of the mecha warriors of the Independent Regiment. Many of them have been in a critical state for a long time in previous battles. They will need more time to recover."

"We should have taken a risk before and let the independent group use the Peace space battleship to complete the evacuation."

"That's too risky. The Anti-Galaxy Corps is chasing after them. It takes time for the An to take off. Without an energy shield, if something goes wrong, everything will be over."

"Stop talking about it, what should we do now?"

"Can the Galaxy Squadron plus one hundred and nine Mountain Killer Armors be able to stop the Anti-Galaxy Corps?"

"If we can block it, we can buy more time for machine repair."

"It's unstoppable. There are too many anti-Galaxy regiments. They can just like facing the Galaxy squad, not fight us at all, forcefully break through our defensive formation and continue to pursue the independent regiment."

"What about fire support? The Anti-Galaxy Corps' current formation is denser than before. Using fire support can slow down their pursuit to a certain extent."

"The Nantianmen Headquarters has issued an order for fire support, and they are waiting for a more suitable opportunity."

"But the Anti-Galaxy Corps are all Marquis A, and the ones with them are also Earl A and Duke A. The effect of fire support is not great."

"..."

Li Yuanba, who heard these conversations, had shifted his attention from the Independent Group to the Galaxy Team.

Seeing the Xinghe team composed of Ji Rongxinyue, Xingyue, Qin Tong, Harris, Su Chuanyun, Laizi, Liuer, Yingluoqi, and Qi Xiyan, they hunted down more than 600 imperial aristocratic aircraft.

A's fighting posture keeps winning ten gold stars.

Li Yuanba's eyes were full of envy.

It’s not that I’m envious of the Xingyue armor piloted by Xingyue, nor that I’m envious of these sub-Galaxy-level and ace-level teammates, nor is it that I’m envious of the Galaxy team using the independent group as a ‘bait’ to create this kind of ten mechas to chase and kill six people.

The opportunity to build more than a hundred imperial noble mechas.

But I envy them for being able to participate in the war.

With the pursuit of the Galaxy Squad and the collapse of the Empire's regular-level mechas, the number of the Empire's noble mechas, with the Anti-Galaxy Corps as the main force, has dropped from more than 600 to less than 500.

From this point of view, the tactical choice made by Yoshinobu Nakano, the commander of the Empire's mecha corps, is wrong. If they continue to make such tactical choices, they will be cannibalized and annihilated by the Galaxy Squadron.

But Li Yuanba knew very well that the commanders of these imperial mechas were actually very wise.

It is obviously unrealistic for all members of the Xinghe Squadron to pursue and intercept the Xinghe Squadron. Considering the mobility of the Xinghe Squadron, they have no chance to achieve their tactical goals. Instead, the independent regiment will be given sufficient time to repair.

Divide your forces to pursue Team Galaxy?

In terms of the mobility and combat power of the Galaxy Squadron, it only takes a few turns to throw off the pursuers and catch up with them again to pursue the main force of the independent regiment. After that, it only needs to continuously carry out tactical intersperses to bring them a decisive blow.

Inflict greater casualties and block more time.

Among all the tactical choices, Nakano Yoshinobu's choice actually resulted in fewer casualties and put the greatest pressure on the Independent Regiment and Galaxy Squadron.

After only watching for a while, Li Yuanba was able to determine that with the current combat effectiveness of the Galaxy Squadron, they could only suppress the number of Imperial Noble Mechas to about 400 before the Independent Group was overtaken.

If the independent regiment is at its peak and is strategically interspersed by the Galaxy Team, even if the number is much smaller, the average performance level of the mechas will be much different, and there is still a chance to complete the annihilation operation with a complete victory.

But the independent group is far from its peak state.

More than a hundred Shanzanjia that can be repaired will not be able to exert their full combat power. With an absolute disadvantage in numbers, the independent regiment will suffer serious damage the moment the two sides encounter each other.

As for the independent group's Mountain Slayer armors that are too late to be repaired and are about to run out of energy, the independent group will face the fate of being wiped out except for the Galaxy Team and the Ape Team.

As long as the independent group is eliminated, the remaining more than two hundred imperial noble mechas will be able to face the Galaxy Squadron in a swarm. Even if the Galaxy Squadron is unparalleled in combat power, it is impossible for them to directly attack so many imperial giants who are waiting for them.

Noble mecha.

The crisis of the independent regiment seemed extremely serious to Li Yuanba, even more serious than the mercenary regiment that was fleeing in the Second Canyon.

That’s why he asked Ji Xinghe ‘why’ before.

It is impossible for Ji Xinghe to allow the independent regiment to be in danger of being "annihilated". So, under such circumstances, what gives Ji Xinghe the confidence to dare to support the mercenary regiment?

It's impossible, because Ji Xinghe is coveting the military merit of killing the Imperial Zhendong King, right? It's even less likely that he's coveting the Imperial jump base in the second canyon where it's impossible to grow legs and run away.

You have so many trump cards, which one are you going to reveal today?

While Li Yuanba was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a piece of information that stunned him.

That was the blockade where Jin Daosheng was located. When there were only a hundred or so mechas, he actually cooperated with other units in the blockade and the support of the Galaxy Squad to defeat more than three hundred imperial mechas.

It does not sound exaggerated. After all, they are fighting in a defensive posture on a position that has been operated for many years, and there are also the strongest teams in the Federation such as the Galaxy Team for support. After the greatest pressure is shared, the Federation mecha warriors are waiting to work.

It is actually very reasonable to achieve the destruction of an average of three Imperial mechas per person...

That's totally reasonable.

That was a swarm charge of nearly two thousand imperial mechas.

Li Yuanba's eyes focused on the battle report information. As his eyes changed, he seemed to understand which trump card Ji Xinghe was going to use.

In other words, it was this trump card that decided to stand up on its own.

Because looking at the whole world, no matter whether it is the Federation or the Empire, or even the third civilization, which is definitely more powerful than the Federation and the Empire combined, it is impossible to command this card in a true sense.

But, is it really suitable?

Li Yuanba became worried. As he continued to look through various battle reports and perspectives, he felt the change in gravity and knew that the individual starship he was on had successfully landed at the Nantianmen Space Station, but he did not go down immediately.

No one asked or suggested that he come out, but the operating authority of this individual starship was locked up by relevant personnel who had been well prepared.

There is also a team of elite warriors wearing individual exoskeleton armor, guarding the outside of the individual starship.

Li Yuanba saw this scene, but he didn't react at all. He just stayed quietly in the single-soldier starship and in the Overlord Armor that he urgently needed to repair.

In the continued silence, he saw Jin Daosheng's armored convoy, which captured more than two hundred conventional-level imperial-standard mechas, as well as twenty-seven Baron armors and thirteen Baron armors, and continued to expand its results.

This is also an incredible record. Compared with the record created by the mecha warriors on Jin Daosheng's blockade just now, it is even more exaggerated. It can even be said to be unprecedented.

Although it is impossible for these newly surrendered Imperial mechas to be led by Jin Daosheng and others to participate in the battle of the independent regiment, there is even a risk of recurrence at any time.

But Li Yuanba suddenly laughed when he saw this scene and answered the question he had just raised.

"suitable!"
Chapter completed!
