After nearly ten days of fighting with General Morgan, and more than a hundred battles of various sizes, Chu Junhui gained control of the battlefield for the first time. Tens of thousands of light-year warriors entered the battlefield, and beside them were 10 times the number of work beasts. These working beasts are extremely powerful and much more flexible than construction machinery. They even have a certain ability to make independent judgments and can use tools. For example, several work beasts cooperate with each other, holding three electric saws on one end, and cutting three federal tanks at the same time. Anyway, their arms and legs can extend very far.
Others dragged the driver out of the tank with the opening cut out, checked whether he was dead or alive, and then transported the alive ones away and piled the dead ones in a pile. The work beast is also very careful when cutting, so as not to damage important components such as the main gun and engine. Tens of thousands of work beasts climbed onto the crashed landing ship and dismantled the usable parts.
Chu Jungui knew the casualties on his side from the beginning. In this battle, the light-year warriors suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and more than 3,000 battle beasts were lost. Fortunately, most of the warriors were only injured but not dead, and only a few hundred were actually killed. Most of the casualties occurred after Morgan organized an effective counterattack. There was no one in the few small fortresses in front of Base No. 2. There were only a few low-level work beasts, responsible for firing a few random cannons to show that there were people inside.
On the federal side, Chu Jungui visually estimated that the direct casualties should be around 15,000, which was just a lot more. Not even the bodies of those swept up by the beam cannon could be found. In fact, most of the losses were caused by the Lightyear Raid, but the psychological impact of the starship's main gun sweep was too great, which directly caused the Federation's battle-hardened front-line force to collapse.
This battle was a classic victory with less victory over more. From the time the federal reinforcements landed to the present, 40% of the landing troops have been wiped out by Chu Jungui, but compared to the huge war potential of the federation, this loss is not even a drop in the bucket.
Chu Jungui stood quietly high up in the base, watching the two landing ships in the distance being dismantled and turned into materials at a speed visible to the naked eye. He frowned slightly, vaguely catching something, but couldn't tell clearly for the moment. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the storm clouds above his head. The storm clouds are always so violent, and there are electric lights shining inside them all the time.
Chu Jungui's consciousness flashed and he gave orders to the wise man and Kaitian at the same time.
Most of the work beasts were cleaning the battlefield, but following Chu Jungui's order, half of the work beasts put down their work, returned to the base, and then started to dismantle the beam cannon!
Wilson and others were shocked and hurriedly came over to ask what was going on. Chu Jungui did not answer. He first issued a series of orders and pulled almost everyone who was still sleeping up to work, and then said to Wilson: "This The base doesn’t want it anymore.”
"Why?" From Wilson's point of view, there is almost no solution to the current No. 2 Base. If the Federation does not use large forces and heavy firepower to siege, it will simply not be able to defeat the No. 2 Base equipped with starship main guns.
Chu Jungui first ordered the 12 captured landing ships to wait outside the base, and then said: "Storm clouds cannot block the Federation forever. The next attack is likely to come from outside the storm clouds."
"None of the existing orbital weapons of the Federation can penetrate storm clouds." Wilson believed that he still knew a lot about federal military affairs.
"Orbital weapons can't do it, but starships can."
The huge beast tide swept back from the battlefield and transformed into a demolition army. First, they moved various workstations, main brains and power furnaces in the base onto the landing ship, and then transported the beam cannons one after another onto the ark. These beam cannons consume too much energy and cannot be driven by the Ark's own energy. They can only serve one beam cannon with two Arks, one carrying the cannon and one supplying energy.
The construction of the base was difficult and difficult, and in just one day, there was only an empty shelf left in Base No. 2. All the equipment was evacuated, and many of the building modules that could be taken away were dismantled.
Thanks to the dozen landing ships sent by Hauge, Chu Jungui's transportation capacity has been directly increased by 2 times, allowing him to move efficiently.
The new base that the wise man is responsible for has not been moved for the time being because its location has not been exposed, but all the production capacity of the entire base has been transferred to Ark. Now Ark is a collective name for a series, and basically all super-large planetary surface mobile platforms can be classified into the Ark series.
Just as Chu Jungui was making arrangements, Admiral Morgan had returned to the orbital fleet. In the command hall, all the generals faced the holographic image of Base 2 in the center without saying a word.
The casualty figures once again emerged from the admiral's mind. He broke the silence and said: "In nine days, we lost 2,100 tanks, 180 heavy armors, and suffered 39,000 casualties, including more than 30,000 battle dead. , there were only 4,000 wounded, and the rest were missing or captured. However, our opponents suffered less than 5,000 casualties."
A general said: "Lightyear is a very difficult enemy to deal with. Although their casualties were not high, they lost more than 1,800 tanks. We also have a steady stream of replenishments. This time the two legions brought a total of 5,000 tanks. A tank and 900 mechas. What can Chu Jungui do to make up for the losses?"
"But we have to find a way to destroy his base. I really don't understand how he managed to power 20 starship main guns."
The admiral said slowly: "There is still a way to destroy the base. The question is, what about the federal soldiers in the base?"
The generals were silent again.
The admiral did not wait any longer and said, "Since none of you are willing to give suggestions, let me make the decision: execute the attack on the Lightyear Base!"
The generals didn't say anything more, they dispersed silently, and each prepared. After a while, the 15-minute countdown started in the command hall.
The admiral stood on the command podium and looked quietly at Planet 4 outside the window.
On Planet No. 4, the blue-gold Cang Lei climbed to the top of the mountain. From here, Base No. 2 can be seen from a distance. Behind Cang Lei were all heavily armored mechas, followed by tanks and support troops. However, all the troops were hiding on the reverse slope of the mountain, and only Phil stood on the top of the mountain.
The view here is excellent. Not only can you see Base 2, but you can also see both sides of the mountain in front of Base 2. A large number of federal heavy-armed troops once again quietly approached, only a few dozen kilometers away from the battlefield where corpses were strewn that day. This was a distance that could be reached by accelerating.
Phil stared at Base 2 quietly. At this distance, even he could only see the outline and not the details. But that's enough.
The time has come.
The ground suddenly shook faintly. The double-leaf trees in the forest seemed to feel something, and they were shaking their leaves uneasily. Some scattered small animals in the forest suddenly came out of their hiding places, looking around nervously, and then Escape quickly to the distance. In the blink of an eye, even the comfrey on the ground began to sway, as if it wanted to pull itself out of the ground and escape to another place.
Phil knelt down, pulled up a piece of comfrey, and placed it in the palm of his hand. The mecha's giant palm was as delicate as a girl's delicate hand under his control, without damaging the purple grass at all.
In the palm of his hand, this piece of comfrey actually moved! Its roots and blades of grass were swaying, squirming toward the edge of the palm, trying to escape.
Phil closed his palms and squeezed the strange comfrey into a ball. He suddenly felt something was wrong. When he looked down, he saw that the purple grass at his feet was all falling to the outside, as if trying to stay away from him.
At this moment, a strange piercing scream sounded in the sky, the storm clouds suddenly began to surge violently, and the lightning inside increased sharply, almost lighting up the entire sky!
A huge landing ship rushed out of the storm clouds with lightning all over its body. It was extremely fast and fell straight towards Base No. 2, hitting the center of the base.
A huge ball of blue light rose up, and then a ring of light spread in all directions, and almost everything in its path was stained with a layer of gray. The double-leaf tree stopped swinging, the comfrey disappeared directly, and the ground seemed to turn into mud, constantly churning and bubbling.
The halo passed over Phil, and his field of vision instantly turned dark red. The alarm data slid down like a waterfall. The temperature outside the mecha instantly exceeded 5,000 degrees, as if he was standing on the surface of Star.
Phil was dozens of kilometers away from the center of the explosion, but he still detected such power, not to mention the base at the center of the explosion. All the high-rise buildings were twisting and melting, like chocolate roasted by fire.
Another landing ship rushed out of the storm clouds and crashed on the base again. The terrifying blue light swallowed everything. Wherever the halo passed, the double-leaf trees were completely dyed gray, and then exploded into a cloud of smoke and dust. The wind blows away.
The storm roared past Phil's mecha, and pieces of gravel crackled on the mecha. He reached out and grabbed a half-meter-square piece of gravel, looked at it, and with a slight twist, the piece of gravel turned into a gray-white stone surface, and then was blown away. This piece of gravel was originally very hard, but now it has been turned into pieces by the high temperature of ions and falls apart at a touch.
The storm clouds were still rolling, but no landing ship was seen again. A moment later, another landing ship rushed out of the clouds, but only half of the hull was left, and it crashed to the edge of Base No. 2 without exploding. . However, Base No. 2 was like a gray and white monochrome building block at the moment, falling down at the first touch. The impact of the starship falling to the ground turned half of the base into a gray mist in the blink of an eye.
The storm gradually subsided, and Phil's mecha was covered with a thick layer of white ash. He patted the dust off his body and looked into the distance. At this moment, there was a gray-white world in front of him, dead silent, without any life.
"Report casualties." Phil ordered.
After a while, the casualties were summarized. Only a few tanks broke down and less than 10 unlucky people were slightly injured. Phil's troops were far away and protected by mountains, so they suffered no losses.
Phil was relieved, but looking at the world of death in front of him, he couldn't calm down. The admiral's attack was extremely cruel. He only hoped that Hauge did not stay in the base, otherwise he would definitely die. However, how easy would it be to deal with Chu Jungui's counterattack?
There was a sudden thunderbolt between the sky and the earth, and countless thick electric pillars struck the earth from the storm clouds, just like the roar of the whole world, and then heavy rain poured down.
