Does this Crassus know something? Looking at the federal military formation, Chu Jungui also fell into deep thought.
The federal army was vast, with the 3rd Marine Corps at the vanguard, the 9th Marine Corps at the back, and a hodgepodge of Morgan, Moon, and ordinary Marine Corps in the center. The pirate flags on both wings were stretched into two long strips, guarding Holding the entire middle army. But the problem is that when the federal marching formation is fully deployed, this large force of nearly one million people will stretch to more than 100 kilometers in front and back, and more than 200 kilometers including the forward. There are only 50,000 people on each side of the Jolly Roger. With such a long stretch, this line of defense is really weak. But in any case, Crassus' intention to use the pirate flag to guard the two wings is already very obvious.
In the past few battles, including the battle that defeated the 7th Army, Lightyear's troops directly inserted into the battlefield from both wings, disrupting the Federation's formation and dragging the battle into a melee. This time Crassus should have fully understood the importance of the two wings. It is not known whether he has full confidence in the combat power of the Jolly Roger or simply wants the Jolly Roger to die. Looking at the two pirate flag defense lines advancing a hundred kilometers away from the main force in the middle, it is estimated that they are mostly early warning and cannon fodder.
Chu Jungui looked back at the endless sea of chariots behind him, and fell into deep thought again. Did this Crassus really know something he shouldn't know? Otherwise, how could you be so cooperative?
At this time, a screen around Crassus had already shown a picture of the advancing base, and the reconnaissance plane that had gone out had arrived at the periphery of the base. Alarms spread throughout the base, and all the prisoners of war followed the instructions of the armor and entered different buildings to take shelter.
Crassus also saw the prisoners of war entering the building, with a slight smile on his lips and said: "You are trying to force me to fight in the street!"
An order was issued from the mobile command center, and the 6th Army in front suddenly separated thousands of tanks, accelerated their advance with the cooperation of nearly a thousand assault boats, and headed straight for Chu Jungui's new base. And behind this force, nearly a hundred fighter planes rose up!
The surfaces of these fighter planes are covered with a thick special protective layer, which makes them look a bit clumsy, but they are real fighters, not assault boats that focus on the ground. And underneath that somewhat stupid appearance, there are truly advanced fighters hidden. Even if it is overloaded due to the harsh environment of defending Planet 4, its performance is at least not inferior to that of a light-year fighter.
This vanguard force quickly opened a distance of hundreds of kilometers from the main force of the 6th Army and headed straight for the base. In terms of strength, they are twice as many as the known defenders of the base. Of course, their combat strength is another matter. The combat strength of this unit on paper is about three or four times higher than that of their opponents.
Inside the base, a Lightyear fighter jet soared into the sky, piercing the sky like an unsheathed sword!
It ignored the torrent of armor coming like a tidal line and went directly towards the federal army. Then it saw the black assault boat and hundreds of federal fighter planes behind the assault boat!
The Lightyear Fighter turned around and left without any hesitation.
Li Xuancheng was not a fool. He still had a lot of youth left to spend, so how could he die in vain? Besides, the order given to him was that when the troops directly under him were obviously outnumbered, they must retreat and not be reluctant to fight. Now Li Xuancheng's direct unit is the fighter plane under his seat.
The 2,000 Lightyear tanks finally moved and drove into the base. Using the cover of buildings containing prisoners of war, they started a street battle with the vanguard of the 6th Army.
The main force of the 6th Army stopped 30 kilometers away from the base. Although there were thousands of assault boats hovering in the sky, none of them moved. The main force in the rear also slowed down, bypassed the fighting base, and advanced in depth, with no intention of supporting them.
In this way, thousands of tanks started a brutal war of attrition in the base. Both sides were determined to fight to the end and would not stop until the last tank was left. The final result was no surprise. After 12 hours of hard work, the Federation, which had a dual advantage in quantity and quality, finally destroyed Lightyear's last tank and occupied the base.
The federal army was still moving forward, and the 6th Marine Corps sent an armored infantry group to take over the base and treat prisoners of war.
Crassus and Chu Jungui were both looking at the battle data that had just been released.
All 2,000 combat vehicles in Light Years were destroyed. The losses of the 6th Marine Corps were 570 vehicles and 3 assault boats crashed, all due to mechanical failures.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this number. The attacker's troops are overwhelming, and the further they hit the back, the more obvious the advantage becomes, and the casualties become more disproportionate.
Among the dozens of screens around Crassus, one screen suddenly flashed and displayed various high-level statistical data. The hit rate of the Lightyear tank is 69%, while the hit rate of the Federation tank is 41%. But another set of data shows that Lightyear needs an average of 9 hits to kill a federal tank, while the federal tank only needs 3 hits.
This set of data begins to have problems. The tanks of both sides have the same style. Lightyear is accurate, but its power and defense are poor. The Federation's hard indicators are high, but its accuracy is poor. But comparing it with previous data, you can see the difference. The Lightyear Chariot is still highly accurate, and its hit rate in melee is incredibly close to 70%. However, the hit rate of the federal tank was only 20% before, but now it has jumped to 40%. This gap is huge. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the battle loss ratio between Lightyear and the Federation should be 2:1, but it turned out to be 4:1.
Chu Jungui also frowned slightly. Did the Federation replace it with a new tank, or was it for some other reason?
Next are the casualties, 0 for Light Years and 900 for the Federation. On a screen in front of Crassus, several engineers wearing engineering armor were cutting open a destroyed Lightyear Chariot. The core was a pool of flesh and blood tissue, with no human form visible. As usual, they carefully took samples, sealed them, and then put them into special freezers before sending them to the rear for inspection.
Crassus shook his head. Thousands of similar samples have been sent for inspection, and the reports are all the same. They are ordinary animal tissues. The genes have obviously been edited, but they are very crude and crude. They are similar to starfish at the level of life. , there is no wisdom at all. There is no thinking organ in the entire body tissue, and the larger neurons are about the size of soybeans. What is this enough for? Even a mouse is smarter than anything.
Human gene editing technology has become very advanced. If necessary, you can add wings, multiple tails, or pricked ears, plus some weird parts. It’s not a problem. What’s the use of having a starfish?
But everyone knows that the secret of Light Years should be hidden in these biological tissues, but so far, no living sample has been obtained.
Cracking this secret should be a matter for scientists, and Crassus did not struggle in this regard. He switched directly to the next data, the comparison of military expenditure losses.
"How much does it cost to build a light-year bicycle?" Crassus asked casually, and then got the number evaluated by the federal government. As soon as he saw this number, Crassus' smile disappeared a lot.
