The war has exceeded anyone's ability to control it. The names of casualties are rolling down like heavy rain, converging into a number that keeps beating and getting bigger and bigger.
The surge of storm clouds lasted only an hour, and by the time it subsided the battle had turned into a complete melee. On the land of tens of thousands of square kilometers, tens of thousands of tanks roared back and forth. Every moment, tanks were destroyed, and life capsules were shot into the sky.
There was no loneliness in the air either. When the Federation was finally able to dispatch large-scale low-altitude assault craft, Lightyear took out real planetary fighters, although there were only less than ten. A few fighter planes showed unparalleled skills and lethality. Every arcing spin could blow up several assault boats in the air. The assault craft, which are mainly used against the ground, have little power to fight back when facing planetary fighters.
The number of Lightyear fighters was small, but they slowly but surely bled the Federation, and the invisible pressure was extremely fatal. By the end of the fight, the strict formation of the assault boats was completely chaotic. As soon as they saw the roaring fighter planes, the assault boats would disperse and run for their lives.
The 20 mechas controlled by Chu Jungui were slowly roaming on the battlefield. His main targets were assault boats. The federal tanks would only be destroyed if they got close to the muzzle of his gun. His killing efficiency is as stable as ever, with a hit rate always hovering around 92%, ensuring that he can kill dozens of assault boats every minute.
The four-legged and eight-armed mecha that I piloted this time had a strange appearance. It was about the same size as the Federation heavy mecha. It was far less eye-catching than the sea urchin, because most of the Federation soldiers ignored its existence and did not deliberately focus their fire. Let the survival time of these 20 mechas be extra long.
There is output only when you are alive.
"General! Withdraw, withdraw!" the staff officer yelled in Chrysler's ear.
A stream of blood flowed from the admiral's forehead, and the blood stains on half of his face had solidified. He was doing two things: on the one hand, he was trying his best to direct the troops to gather closer, and on the other hand, he was controlling a base cannon, constantly blasting the light-year battles rushing out from around him. The car exploded.
Lightyear chariots have begun to appear around the admiral's command base. Although they are small groups of dozens of vehicles, this is a very dangerous signal.
After the Lightyear Chariot was no longer visible in the scope, the admiral breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time. Three hours and eleven minutes had passed since the beginning of the war.
He tapped his ears, turned his head and asked, "What did you say?"
The staff officer raised his voice again: "Do you want to withdraw?"
Chrysler narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Where are the reinforcements now?"
"Morgan's leading troops are already 70 kilometers away, allowing them to build defensive positions on the spot..."
"Let them move forward another 20 kilometers and then build defensive positions."
"This...is, General." The staff officer did not dare to say anything more.
Chrysler glanced at the staff officer, threw the light screen in his hand to him, and said: "Don't say give them 10 more minutes, even if you give them 10 hours, they won't be able to defend. Their purpose is to serve as cannon fodder, so that our people can withdraw more Come down. This cannon is yours."
The general patted the staff officer on the shoulder and continued to command the troops.
In the melee, the quality of the 7th Army was fully demonstrated. Even in the first hour after losing command, various units spontaneously gathered to defend together and established temporary command systems. Even with heavy casualties, there was no rout. However, as soon as the 7th Army gathers a slightly larger battle group, a large number of light-year troops will immediately appear around them. The first few tanks are completely suicidal. They would rather be blown up by artillery fire than rush into the 7th Army. Army formation. The following chariots directly rammed away the remains of the preceding chariots, cutting into the opponent's formation while bombarding them.
Chrysler already knew it had a match it had never seen before. He also discovered a phenomenon while commanding. Not only did the Lightyear Chariot have a high hit rate, but it also spontaneously concentrated fire. Often several tanks were randomly combined together and began to name the federal tanks one by one. If the surrounding federal tanks are all fired up, these Lightyear tanks will be disbanded on the spot, forming new teams with other tanks, and continue to roll call the federal tanks.
Moreover, on local battlefields, Lightyear kept showing up with small units to hold back large units of the 7th Army, while other units that had free hands quickly interspersed, quickly surrounded the enemy, and then used their absolute superiority to eat them. Although the small group of troops blocking the enemy will also suffer heavy losses, the 7th Army without command will react slower after all. The commander cannot see the overall situation and will be relatively conservative. Therefore, the efficiency of destroying enemies between the two sides is greatly different, and the gap becomes even more obvious once they enter and exit.
To put it simply, the 7th Army here has not eaten up the 50 Lightyear tanks blocking the enemy, but the 200 surrounded tanks over there have been completely wiped out.
When he discovered this scene, Chrysler's scalp felt a little numb. Even in the drill specially performed for the superiors, he couldn't achieve this effect!
However, Chrysler is a famous general after all, and it immediately had a countermeasure: squeeze.
Under his order, the Seventh Army all contracted to the predetermined location, constantly compressing the gaps between troops and reducing the space for opponents to move and intersperse. Guangnian reacted almost immediately. The internal troops fought hard to cut through the 7th Army troops one by one, while the troops squeezed outside spontaneously combined to outflank the 7th Army's rear path at high speed from both wings.
Chrysler's face was ashen, and his eyes glanced at the casualty number on the side screen from time to time. The number kept getting bigger, and it was accelerating!
Lightyear's side is not having a good time either. Brother Dao's physical integrity is declining rapidly, and Wise Man has also suffered losses. Only Kaitian is still doing well, staying above 90%.
Morgan's troops had already appeared on the horizon. They stopped on the spot and began to build a 120-kilometer-long defense line. Everyone knows that this line of defense is extremely thin, but as long as the 7th Army can be given a chance to breathe and regroup, the battle situation will be under the control of the Federation again. The general led by Morgan thought so and was very confident. After all, he didn't know how many enemies the 7th Army faced.
Except for the 7th Army, everyone at this moment thought that the qualitative advantage was on their side, and the quantitative advantage was also on their side.
Chrysler also withheld battlefield intelligence and did not release it.
In the command module, pain flashed across Chrysler's face, the wound on his head burst open again, and blood rolled down. He has prepared a command with hundreds of sub-commands, which can be issued with just one click. But his hand trembled for a few seconds before he pressed slowly.
The command is instantly sent to the relevant commander’s terminal.
A colonel and lieutenant of the 7th Army received the order with different expressions, some were angry, some were calm, and some sighed, but their reactions were all the same: order the tanks to turn around and attack the enemy in reverse!
At the same moment, one-third of the troops of the Seventh Army turned on the spot and started a desperate fight with Light Year. Guangnian reacted immediately, and a large number of tanks quickly surrounded the troops who had left behind. The remaining tanks bypassed the battlefield and continued the pursuit. However, the troops left to block the enemy were like rocks, shrinking under the erosion of the torrent of steel, but they refused to retreat until they disappeared.
Lightyear's army was blocked and its pursuit was greatly weakened. After leaving another third of the remaining 7th Army troops behind, they finally broke away from the contact and withdrew to the Morgan defense line.
After crossing the defense line, the remnant army did not support the defense line on the spot. Instead, they roared away, leaving many Morgan soldiers stunned and confused.
However, a moment later, the Morgan soldiers saw a tide line appear on the horizon, getting closer and higher, and countless light-year chariots appeared, instantly flooding Morgan's defense line. At this time, the remnants of the 7th Army were already 100 kilometers away and were accelerating their evacuation.
Nearly 10,000 light-year chariots chased them for hundreds of kilometers, but the distance between them and the 7th Army continued to widen. In pure pursuit, the performance of the Lightyear tank is still inferior to that of the Federation's elite tank. After chasing 100 kilometers away, all the Lightyear Chariots slowed down at the same time, gave up the pursuit, turned around and annihilated the remaining soldiers who were still resisting. Most of the people still fighting were the 7th Army, and Morgan's troops basically surrendered on the spot.
The overall situation of the ground war was decided, but there was a small episode in the air battle.
A blue federal fighter jet roared in the distance, charging towards the Lightyear fighter jet! At this time, the assault boats of the 7th Army had lost seven or eight hundred and eighty-eight, and were fleeing in all directions. Therefore, on the air battlefield, the number of light years and federal fighters at this moment was 8:1.
But the azure fighter plane didn't slow down and seemed to be going to fight eight!
Fortunately, the people who piloted the Lightyear fighter planes were all experts. Now that the battle situation was decided, they did not intend to bully others, so a fighter plane broke away from the main force and faced the blue fighter plane.
The Lightyear fighter's performance is wild, while the Federation's blue fighter is outstanding in all aspects, with no shortcomings and a solid upper hand in overall performance. The two sides engaged in a dizzying battle in the air. Several high-speed dives made people think they were about to hit the ground and crash, but they were able to pull themselves up again and again. Not only do the two sides have to fight each other, but they also have to be wary of stray bullets everywhere, as well as anti-aircraft fire that appears from time to time below.
The fight reached its climax from the very beginning, with sparks flying everywhere. The blue fighter plane even used its wing-cutting move, and it was unknown how much hatred it had for Light Year.
The two fighters seemed to be dancing a wild pas de deux. After a series of irregular arc trajectories, the engine of the Lightyear fighter suddenly spewed out thick smoke and fire, and staggered towards the earth.
The blue fighter plane did not pursue him, and was quite chivalrous. Just when countless pairs of eyes all over the world were deeply admiring the superb skills and elegance of the blue fighter, the blue fighter suddenly turned on several lasers and projected the scene in the cabin in the air.
In the cockpit, the little princess's beautiful face was as cold as ice. Her right hand gathered her messy blond hair into a ponytail, and her left hand gave a vicious middle finger to the fighter plane on the ground!
The picture lingered in the air for a long time, and the blue fighter plane roared away and disappeared from the sky.
On the ground, the cockpit of the Lightyear fighter popped open and Li Xuancheng climbed out. What he saw was the frozen middle finger, and he was immediately confused. If I can't beat you, I can't beat you. Why are you humiliating me?
