Base No. 6 had already entered the highest level of combat readiness when the independent regiment officially joined the war.

People actually had a premonition of the sudden war.

Some of it is because Ji Rong Xinyue captured two imperial princes alive, some is because Ji Rong Xinyue defeated thirty Marquis Armors, and some is because when a large-scale war broke out in the Gods Mountain, only Ji Xinghe went to the second theater

Support, and the driver is still the Zhanshan Jia instead of the Xingyue Jia.

No matter what the reason was, when the premonition turned into reality, people eliminated all distracting thoughts in their minds and went all out to prepare for war.

"Transfer? No, I won't transfer."

"I won't transfer either. Although I am a scientific researcher, I have also received professional military training and I can also shoot. The bullets fired by children can kill orangutans, and mine can of course be the same."

"There is no need to waste time. One more person is one more person. If the empire comes over, I am willing to stay inside the base and fight them to the death. Of course, I don't believe they can defeat the independent group. There is no force that can defeat the independent group."

"Weapons, what you need to do most now is to give me weapons instead of talking nonsense to me and asking me to move."

"You want me to be a deserter? Haha, you are insulting me!"

"..."

There are a large number of non-combatants in Base 6. According to relevant rules, they must move away from Base 6 as soon as possible to avoid huge losses caused by the capture of Base 6 due to defensive failure, especially among them.

scientific researchers, medical personnel, and technical arms.

But when they received the order to assemble in the parking area and prepare to move, surprisingly but not surprisingly, they all chose to refuse.

Qiao Menglian was very pleased and moved by this, but also felt anxious and anxious.

"If I scold them now, there is still a chance that most of them can be transferred. The Peace space battleship has a chance to take away nearly 10,000 people. As long as these people are allowed to leave, all the rest of us will be

They are combatants, even if they are..."

His eager words suddenly stopped, he looked at Chen Xun and Li Zhengfan and asked: "Are you sure that the empire will not choose to attack our base, but will pursue the independent regiment?"

Most of the eyes that looked at the two of them at the same time were focused on Chen Xun. Compared to Li Zhengfan, Qiao Menglian actually trusted Chen Xun's judgment more.

It's not just Qiao Menglian, but many people are like this. Although Li Zhengfan's past is extremely glorious, he has also "betrayed the Federation". The main reason why the Second Theater took such a big risk this time is because of Li Zhengfan's arrival.

.

Qiao Menglian had every reason to believe that Li Zhengfan would ignore the survival of Base No. 6 for the sake of his strategic intentions.

Li Zhengfan, who noticed Qiao Menglian's eyes, did not speak, but looked at the big screen in the command center. He had finished the call with Tu Yuan and determined the relevant tactical plan.

All that needs to be done now is to wait for the Empire's choice.

Chen Xun was also looking at the big screen. The picture displayed on it was a combat picture sent back by the independent regiment after a delay.

The independent regiment that implements the No. 1 non-standard tactics has defeated thousands of Imperial mechas, leaving only more than 500 Imperial mechas in the first round, and other imperial arms that cooperate with the Imperial mechas have also

Completely destroyed by a detachment from the Independent Regiment.

Brilliant achievements.

But the situation is not optimistic.

Because most of the remaining imperial remnants are noble mechas, the absolute main force of which are more than two hundred marquis mechas. The noble mechas that previously led the empire's regular mecha legions were hardly damaged.

It consists of A, Marquis A, and Duke A.

Moreover, with the development of the war, they have completed their assembly. It is no longer possible for the independent regiment to take advantage of the enemy's chaotic formation due to their pursuit of Ji Rong Xinyue to launch a charge like before.

In a head-on battle, facing such an elite Imperial mecha force, no matter how hard the independent regiment fights, it will inevitably suffer damage.

Are the independent groups afraid?

Of course they are not afraid, but their mechas have insufficient energy, and the enemy has a large number of reinforcements, which are close to the battlefield where they are, and may appear at any time.

If you continue to fight at this time, the end result will be annihilation of your entire army.

"Retreating, report, the Independent Regiment has retreated. Colonel Ji Rong Xinyue killed the Imperial Anti-Galactic Corps, completed the rendezvous with the Independent Regiment, and they retreated together."

When the report sounded, the picture displayed on the big screen changed. The assembled independent regiment began to retreat at full speed in the second canyon towards the direction of Base No. 6.

The imperial mecha followed closely and began to pursue.

Only then did Chen Xun answer Qiao Menglian's question: "We can't be sure, but to be honest, this is the most likely choice the empire will make. Compared to capturing Base No. 6, annihilating our independent regiment will be more difficult for them."

Said the value is greater.”

Qiao Menglian asked again, well prepared: "What if the empire chooses to attack our base and force the independent regiment to return for reinforcements?"

"Then we will hold on until the independent regiment completes its change of equipment, and we will cooperate internally and externally to annihilate the enemy."

Judging from the defensive weapons layout of Base 6, even if thousands of Imperial mechas launch a forcible attack, they can still hold on for a while, so Chen Xun's statement is correct.

But the problem is, if the empire accurately determines the coordinates of Base 6 during this process, or even the location of the entrance and exit.

The ensuing long-range fire attack will make Base 6 completely meaningless.

Not only today's battle, even if the second theater of today's battle is victorious and the Gods Mountain Theater is also victorious, as long as the two empire jump bases in the Second Canyon and Gods Mountain Theater are not captured, then the empire will have

It has the ability to launch a saturation long-range fire attack on Base 6 at any time.

As the commander of Base No. 6, Qiao Menglian wanted to say what was in his heart, but when he saw that Chen Xun had turned around and walked outside the command center, he couldn't say anything.

He knew what Chen Xun was going to do. Although he didn't think Chen Xun's combat effectiveness would be of much significance in today's war, this spirit infected him.

What are you thinking? Ji Xinghe is now the commander of the Second War Zone, and Base 6 is under the management and responsibility of Ji Xinghe. Why should I worry about it?

"I gave the empire three choices." Li Zhengfan suddenly said: "But in fact, the empire only has one choice, and that is to pursue the independent regiment."

Qiao Menglian was silent for three seconds, and then asked: "What should the independent group do? No matter how strong they are, they can't fight when their mecha energy is low. You can't count on Qin Tong and the others.

Destroy nearly two thousand Imperial mechas, right?"

The independent group does not need to worry about the mecha energy problems in the short term. There are only five mecha fighters: Qin Tong, Harris, Su Chuanyun, Laizi, and Ji Rongxinyue, because the energy core used by their mechas is nuclear fusion.

Reaction furnace.

Qiao Menglian kept asking questions as soon as he opened his mouth: "Also, our mecha warriors have been in a critical state for a long time. Even if the energy core can be replaced, how can their physical and mental will be restored?"

Li Zhengfan didn't answer and was a little nervous.

Qiao Menglian noticed the change in information on the big screen and became nervous, clenching his fists.

The Imperial mechas chasing the independent group did not choose to destroy the federal detection eyes on the pursuit path in order to bite the independent group, so their movements were very clear to the command center of Base 6.

At this time, they had come to an area with a width of more than three kilometers, and the independent group they were chasing retreated at full speed against the cliff on one side of the second canyon.

The fork in the road caused by the terrain change is directly ahead.

In this area, if they choose to attack Base No. 6, they can simply give up chasing the Independent Regiment and turn to the road closer to the cliff on the other side to start marching, because it will be closer to Base No. 6 from the other side.

.

The Empire once launched an attack on Base 6 and reached a position three kilometers away from the precise coordinates of Base 6, so it is impossible for them not to know which road is the closest to Base 6.

But they didn't turn.

The Empire's reinforcements soon appeared in Base 6's detection line of sight. They also did not turn, pursuing the Imperial mecha they wanted to support and the direction in which the independent regiment retreated.

Li Zhengfan suddenly laughed without expression.

Judging from the current situation, the Empire has indeed made the only choice he expected.

"I like what General Tu Yuan said very much. The independent regiment fights battles that our other mecha corps cannot fight."

After hearing this answer that was important but not important, and seemed like nonsense, Qiao Menglian looked at the other corner of the big screen.

The information displayed on it is that the federal mercenary group is about to land in the Second Canyon. More than two thousand mechas are riding in multiple spaceships, giving people the feeling of being one after another.

But their combat effectiveness is really worrying.

Hopefully, they can get some of the Imperial mechas to return for reinforcements, so that the independent group can still fight.

As the commander, Qiao Menglian has done everything he can do in this war. He has not had the chance to do some of the tasks he is supposed to do. All he can do now is wait.

He suddenly envied Chen Xun, who commanded when it was time to command and fought when it was time to fight.

He was also a little envious of mechanics like Shen Mu. At this time, Shen Mu had already taken the mechanic team from Base 6 on board the Ping An space battleship. They would arrive at a certain area in the direction of the independence group's retreat in advance, and then risk their lives.

, use the shortest possible time to restore the mechas of the independent group to their peak combat power.

Their role in this battle far exceeded that of him, the commander of Base 6.

What he envied the most was Li Zhengfan, who could continue to make command decisions at this time. Unlike a commander like him, except for the affairs of the base, his command authority and ability were not far behind.

Can I go further?

No, what we should ask is, can our abilities continue to improve?

Thinking of this, Qiao Menglian looked at Li Zhengfan with intense eyes. His best learning target was standing in front of him.

Just like Ji Xinghe for mecha warriors, how could I miss such an opportunity?

"Admiral Jietu Yuan." Li Zhengfan said: "The empire has made a choice. The retreat route map of the independent regiment has been sent. We need the support of the blockade troops along the way."

"kindness."

After Tu Yuan responded, he contacted the Nantianmen headquarters again and asked for command authority.

Ivanovich, who was already numb, would naturally not refuse, and no matter from which aspect he looked at it, he had no reason to refuse.
