At this point in the battle, Chu Jungui didn't have too many trump cards.
Because the Queen of Hades and the three princesses of the underworld broke the balance and performed a nearly unilateral massacre, the federation's battle losses soared. The overall losses had exceeded half, and as many as a quarter were killed in the battle. Under normal circumstances, a loss of more than one-third would be enough to defeat an elite force.
But even in the defeat, the federal troops still showed excellent tactical qualities. The 9th Army withstood the frontal pursuit force of Light Years, which was an offensive of 30,000 tanks! The rear-end troops of the 9th Army still stubbornly maintained their defense line despite a one to three disadvantage.
There were only a little over ten thousand Lightyear tanks chasing in parallel on both wings. It was very difficult to outflank and intercept the nearly ten thousand escaping Federation tanks. There are still thousands of assault boats in the sky at this moment. They have got rid of the initial chaos, reorganized, and covered the retreat of our own troops on the ground. This left the Lightyear troops on both wings somewhat helpless. They could only rely on Ark's firepower to cover as much damage as possible to the federal troops and bleed them.
Although Light Year still had a huge chariot force, the two underworld princesses were unable to play a role in the pursuit. Although their normal traveling speed is faster than that of the federal tank, it takes at least 10 minutes from deployment to attack. In this time, the federal tank has already run away. So now Lightyear's military units have become quite monotonous, and they can only continue to fight with the Federation and exchange blood with each other. It would be very difficult to surround the entire federal force.
Fortunately, Chu Jungui still has a trump card, himself.
Through the vision of transcendent life, Chu Jungui had already locked the mobile command center. There are a total of 4 mobile command centers in the federal force, on the one hand for backup, and on the other hand to prevent the other party from decapitating them. All command centers are exactly the same, so the raiding party can only try their luck, or prepare three identical assault troops.
However, false targets were ineffective for Chu Jungui. He watched Crassus fly to the mobile command center, and also watched Crassus enter with his own eyes and never come out again.
Chu Jungui's thoughts moved, and the light-year troops pursuing in parallel began to accelerate, moving closer to the center, and their frontline pointed directly at the mobile command center where Crassus was hiding. As soon as the pursuing troops moved like this, loopholes appeared in the originally faint encirclement network. Many federal troops moved in the opposite direction and jumped out of the light-year encirclement.
Chu Jungui was unmoved and ordered the troops on both wings to continue to advance towards the mobile command center. As long as the Ark entered the 80-kilometer strike range, the mobile command center would immediately be baptized with the equivalent of several tons per second. This was just one attack. An ark. Once all six arks are in place, even if the mobile command center is solid, Chu Jungui can increase its density by dozens of percentage points.
Even though the other two mobile command centers were closer to the assault force, Chu Jungui ignored them and focused on attacking the target.
At this time, even Crassus, who was severely unresponsive, realized something was wrong. He instantly regained one-third of his overclocking power and normalized his thinking speed. The cost of doing this is that the pile of pending commands, which was originally reduced to 5,000, is now slowly increasing again.
After normalizing his thinking, Crassus immediately opened the secret communication channel of the FBI and said: "There is a traitor in the legion. The enemy has accurately grasped my whereabouts and will investigate thoroughly immediately!"
About a minute later, a distinctly noisy voice sounded on the channel: "The biggest suspect is Kun."
"It's not him, how could he have that IQ?" Crassus said without hesitation.
"We will...investigate..."
Crassus cut off the communication. It was very difficult to communicate through the storm clouds, and now was not the time to talk in detail. Thousands of orders were still waiting for him to process. Crassus sneered at Lightyear's two-pronged raid. He easily set up a counter-raid formation, blocking the front at all levels. The retreating federal troops would naturally attack Lightyear's flanks. Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for any commander, except Crassus.
Even now, Crassus has never lost confidence in himself. In his eyes, Chu Jungui was indeed a strong opponent, but still slightly inferior to him. The fundamental reason for the defeat in this battle was the sudden appearance of the underworld cannon. No one expected that Chu Jungui could still come up with this big killer weapon when foreign aid was cut off. If there were no underworld queen cannon and underworld princess, then the battle situation should still be in a stalemate, in a cruel tug-of-war stage. This is what Crassus is best at. He will accumulate subtle advantages bit by bit with accurate company operations. When necessary, Crassus will even personally adjust the firing range of the next machine gun. Anyway, most of the time he still For those who have some spare capacity, orders are piling up like this like never before.
The strength of Guangnian's troops was far beyond imagination. Crassus estimated 60,000 chariots for Guangnian. Unexpectedly, 100,000 chariots appeared on the battlefield! This is actually not Crassus's fault. You must know that the federal intelligence agency's estimate is 30,000. The number that Morgan privately evaluated with his staff was 45,000, which was essentially no better than the federal intelligence agency. From this point on, Crassus knew why Morgan continued to lose battles.
In fact, there are far more than 100,000 chariots in light years, and there are a large number of arks behind it, which has been seen on the battlefield. It's just that the war potential of light years should have been reduced to nothingness by the anti-matter bomb along with the Hades Cannon.
Therefore, Crassus felt that his self-confidence was not unreasonable. If there was no behind-the-scenes artillery, then he would still win in this kind of meat-chopping battle. Even now, Lightyear's war potential has been wiped out. Crassus will be able to recover all the losses in the next battle, and the final victory of the battle will still belong to him, but there will be an extra episode in the middle.
The battle turned out as he expected. The momentum of the assault force was effectively contained in front of the organized federal rearguard force. The Lightyear force broke through layer by layer and struggled to move closer to the mobile command center. However, the speed of moving the command center is not too slow. Crassus has also ordered the remaining troops at the base to come out to respond. In another 12 hours, he will be able to join the remaining troops. It would take at least 4 hours for the Lightyear Assault Force to enter the Ark's range under obstruction.
Crassus already knew what those big guys were doing, and of course he would not let them get close. At this moment, under the tenacious blocking of the 9th Army, the retreating federal forces had broken away from contact with Light Years and were regrouping under the orders of Crassus, turning into large-scale battle groups. Next, the Lightyear Assault Force will face a fierce assault from the flanks.
"Can you stop me?" Crassus's lips curled up slightly.
The curve at the corner of his mouth lasted for a full 15 minutes. From the 16th minute, the first temporary battle group consisting of 600 tanks appeared on the flank of the Lightyear assault force. It was not until the battle group was within striking distance that the Lightyear Assault Force responded.
Facing the flank of the battle group, all the tanks suddenly began to move into position, and in an instant they turned into a three-layered and well-proportioned defense line. As long as the battle group dared to attack, they would face multiple firepower attacks. The battle was obviously in the form of an assault formation. The firepower of the swarm is far inferior to that of the dispersed opponent. The terrible thing is that these three lines of defense have been following the movement of the main force of the assault force, exactly.
This operation shocked Crassus. Even if he was in charge, this was how he would respond, and he had to admit that Lightyear's operation seemed to be a little more delicate than him... just a little bit.
Crassus couldn't help but wonder who the commander of this assault force was. Although it is not difficult to command a few thousand tanks, it is still a talent to be able to command at this level.
There is no doubt that the attack of the battle group is helpless in the face of a highly layered defense line like Lightyear. The Lightyear chariot will also have some magical cooperation in local areas, defeating the Federation. The assault force escorted Ark and attacked the mobile command center unswervingly.
Crassus frowned slightly, now the two sides were competing on speed. As soon as the assault force comes within firing range, the mobile command center must accelerate its evacuation. The defeated troops of the Federation are constantly gathering under the command of Crassus, reorganizing into battle groups and beginning to restore their combat effectiveness. Now they are forming a loose but resilient enough defense line to block the large force of Lightyear. While constantly retreating, they are still destroying the tanks that Lightyear airdropped in from inside the formation.
If it can be sustained until it can merge with the supporting troops, then many troops will be retained in an organized manner. Although they are injured, there is still a chance for a comeback. But if these troops retreat again, any commander with some experience will know how heavy the losses will be during the retreat.
If the Lightyear assault force were to move faster and force the mobile command center to speed up and escape, then the morale of the federal forces would collapse again to a great extent.
The performance of the southern assault force shocked Crassus. He turned his attention to the north, and then saw exactly the same operation on the northern assault force!
Crassus was finally shocked. Are there so many outstanding commanders in light years?
No matter how much Crassus felt that the two commanders in the north and south of Light Year were worthless, he felt that they were secretly betraying each other. The current situation meant that he had to seriously consider escaping. Obviously, it is impossible for those battle groups to break through the light-year defense line. Now it is too late to assemble more troops and larger battle groups.
Just when Crassus was still struggling, an alarm suddenly sounded in the command module. Hundreds of light-year jet chariots were flying over the battlefield and approaching quickly!
The ground shook, and the Ark started shooting outside the range. The impact point of the shells was only a few kilometers away from the mobile command center. Amidst the roar of artillery fire, more than a hundred jet tanks slammed heavily around the mobile command center. One of them simply aimed at the mobile command center and smashed it down. With a bang, a big hole was made in its top cover.
