Chapter 208 Northeast North (Eight)
The night comes early on the ice field, and the day comes naturally. Xu Le swallowed the warm ready-to-eat nutritious meal with big mouthfuls. Below his slightly narrowed eyes was a shadow painted by fatigue. That night he and Shang Qiu did not close their eyes, and nervously carried out restoration work. The sound of gunfire that had never stopped in the dark night interfered with him like irregular drum beats. In this way, he was exhausted by the mecha battle and seemed even more ineffective.
He filled his stomach and grabbed a handful of cold snow beside him and wiped it hard twice. He felt that his spirit was getting better. Xu Le did not immediately continue his mechanics work, but closed his eyes and silently ran the power in his body, allowing the sore and bitter muscle double fibers to relax and expand to restore his spirit as soon as possible.
Shang Qiu couldn't hold on anymore, so he lie on the chair and took a nap, but he didn't want to give himself too much extravagant rest time.
This ambushed Qinglongshan advance team can now command the lower-level troops on this snow field with electronic telescopes, but the two battalions on the Xuefeng side have never had any information. The command system is repaired for one minute, and the Qinglongshan troops can make overall plans, and perhaps several young federal people can survive.
He heard steady footsteps coming from behind him, and he did not turn back after opening his eyes. He lowered his head slightly and said sorry, "It has not been repaired yet, but it can be repaired, but I can't give you time."
"I don't want to ask this." Li Ming, the leader of the Qinglong Mountain Advance Team, replied with a smile.
He sat on the snow pile beside Xu Le, gasped for a few breaths, rubbed the dry flower hair, and continued, "Actually, before you arrive, I was already desperate. Of course, as the highest commander of the army, I could not show this kind of despair. Your arrival gave us hope, which is enough."
"But you must hurry up." Xu Le glanced at the Fierce Wind Anri on the Snow Field and said worriedly: "The Empire may still be sleeping at this time, but they will definitely launch the most fierce attack during the day."
Li Ming understood what he meant. When the Imperial Expeditionary Force watched two federal mechas break into the battlefield yesterday, he naturally thought that the federal support troops would arrive later, and would definitely seize the last time and do everything possible to eat up this Qinglongshan army.
"On the other side is a reorganized imperial brigade. I guess the strongest combat forces among the remaining troops gathered by the veteran General Ambri are gathered around this snowfield."
Li Ming's eyes penetrated the wind and snow on the position and shot straight into the imperial position in the distance. Youyou said: "We can survive for two days and two nights of war. In fact, we all rely on electromagnetic bombs. Their mecha group has never dared to assemble and charge. I think it is the other party's commander who feels sorry for the last capital and would rather trade human lives for our lives. But our last ammunition base was already fired yesterday. Although it bombed a lot of their mechas, it was impossible to solve this most deadly problem."
"There were small night attacks last night. I guess the Empire was also evaluating our ammunition reserves." Xu Le lowered his head and looked at the snow block beside his military boots and said softly.
"Actually, I've been... coughing... coughing... I have a question." Commander Li Ming coughed twice, frowned in pain, and covered his lips and said, "A reorganized imperial brigade has three times the strength of me, dozens or even hundreds of wolf-style mechas. Looking at their crazy suicide, they shouldn't be cherishing their feathers. I always feel that they are waiting for something."
"Add a support?" Xu Le shook his head and said, "The Empire is dying, and its equipment firepower is several levels lower than ours. They finally got together such a reorganized brigade, and they must use God's help and excellent luck to surround your regiment. If they have a big appetite to ambush the federal support troops... that would be extremely stupid. Even if there is a regiment among the three regiments of our division, the Empire on the opposite side would definitely not be able to withstand it."
"Then how do you explain that the Imperial people on the other side fought so hard, but they never wanted to join the entire combat troops, using this kind of oil-adding tactic like an idiot?" Li Ming stared in his eyes and said with a slight slight voice: "Because you don't have the mood of the Imperial officers at this time, they surrounded us, not to fight for the support, but to fight the troops to support."
"Fight?" Xu Le frowned.
"After the battle between the north and the south, the main force of the empire collapsed. The federal army attacked northwards, and then suddenly slowed down in the past few months. Our troops, like peeling apples, slowly and calmly relied on their overwhelming equipment advantage, and kept sweeping away their living forces, and even trapped them in the glacier area."
"The Empire has long known what their final outcome will be. This is a fact that cannot be changed at all, unless millions of troops in the empire suddenly came over from the space channel on warships." Li Ming laughed sarcastically: "Of course this is impossible."
"So they wanted to fight to the death and wanted to go crazy in the end. But the federal troops have been unwilling to give them the chance to fight to the death. The huge difference in strength between the two sides has made these remnants of the imperial army want to die quickly but cannot."
"Geomagnetic storms and blizzards are extremely rare, which gives them the opportunity to die happily. So they not only want to eat my regiment, but also drag a regiment of the Federation in. Even if they are defeated in the end, they will do whatever they want, just to let our soldiers die a few more."
Xu Le looked at the other end of Fengxue, listened silently to the analysis of Commander Li Ming. He wanted to mock the empires on the opposite side for being anxious, but he unexpectedly felt a faint chill in his heart. The imperial army, which was so cruel and crazy, would he encounter such a cruel and crazy... If the Federation attacked the empire's land in the future, what a terrifying attack would it encounter?
As if he saw his emotions at this time, Captain Li Ming said disdainfully: "Don't think too terrible about the empire's cubs. If the situation they are facing now is us, the choices will probably be similar."
Xu Le thought for a moment and nodded to admit this inference. He was in a foreign country where death was inevitable, and there were countless enemies with absolute dominance in equipment in front of him. Behind him, there were only Haohan's space and a long and unsuccessful journey home and traveling home, and there were no warships. This was such a desperate feeling. If it were him, he would have reacted like this.
In space 742,331 meters above the ground, a fleet of eleven light feather-class warships floated in a wide space without gravity. Against the background of a large scale universe, the supposedly spectacular fleet seemed a little lonely and deserted.
In the strategic deployment of the Federation, the current priority of the Federation Fleet is to prevent the Imperial Fleet from coming out of the deserted star field from supporting the three fallen galaxies. Although these Imperial Fleets from afar were backward in technology and had gone through six or seven years of dangerous interstellar journey, they could not be the opponent of the Federation Fleet, but in order to perfectly end the victory military operation, the Federation still paid enough attention. Even the Second Fleet, which was originally stationed in the Gary Corridor, was transferred to the Xilin Edge Star Domain, so most of the warships that had sneaked into the Imperial Fleet in the three fallen galaxies were also transferred away.
Among the gray and silver federal command ship, Lieutenant General Yi Changtian, who had just arrived from the 163 Galaxy to command the final battle of 5460, looked coldly at the brightly colored planet under the porthole. After a moment of silence, he turned around and said, "All the participating troops above 40 degrees north latitude will stop taking turns and gather immediately to move closer to the geomagnetic storm area."
This is a wide combat command hall. After hearing the order, dozens of federal staff officers were slightly stunned and immediately responded in a deep voice.
"Ambry, the old thief, wants to fight to the death, I don't want to give him a chance to fight to the death." Commander Yi's eyes drooped slightly and continued, "Tell Du Shaoqing and Yu Chenghai that the two divisions are closest to each other, don't move too slowly or too gentle. Smash the fists together, and finally don't even rub a piece of oily skin off."
"I understand." The staff officer next to him made a quick record, looking at the data prompts on the micro-working light curtain, reminding him hesitantly: "According to the calculations of the Charter Computer, the duration of the geomagnetic storm is about ten to fifteen days."
"What does geomagnetic storm have to do with war?"
Commander Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the young officers in the command hall and said, "We encountered a volcanic eruption on the Imperial K2 star, and the ionosphere mutation was still necessary. Could it be that the current troops, without a charter computer as a nanny, would they become useless dolls? If this happens, what should we do to fight the Empire's land in the future?"
The respected general asked with displeasure: "Or do you think the imperialists would be tolerant to let us build a network of charters bit by bit in their hometown?"
The officers were trained to lower their heads and quickly walked towards their workbench. They began tactical deductions through the charter computer, and at the same time sent the commander's orders to the federal troops at all levels on the planet's surface.
"I just received a return from the 17th Division. Their group had already set out two days ago and entered the geomagnetic storm area two hours ago. They lost contact and were in unknown condition." An officer walked over with an anxious expression and whispered to report.
"Very good. Yu Chenghai's troops still have some smell of the 17th Division. If you still have to wait for the command of the headquarters at this time, it would be extremely stupid. But the performance of the 7th Division this time disappointed me."
Commander Yi turned around with his hands behind his back, staring at the glaring white at the northern end of the planet, silent, and seemed to be not worried about the trapped Qinglongshan troops and the 17th Division, which had no trace of follow-up support. As for Xu Le, who had been to support the first time, he could not change his expression at all.
The old imperial general on the ground tried to use the power of nature to seek a heroic ending. However, for this veteran of the Federation, wasn’t this a wonderful exercise opportunity to enter the empire?
