Of course, Ling Lan had an even bolder guess. Would Hailiya be so greedy that they wanted to use Base 013 as bait to devour the reinforcements on Planet Haijiao?
However, no matter what, Hailiya's plan gave Base 013 a precious chance to catch their breath. As for the problem they were facing, the lack of food and water … Ling Lan's eyes turned cold. This was something she had to overcome. If not, she wouldn't be able to do anything!
"Killing two birds with one stone!" The commanding officer of Base 012 shook his head and smiled bitterly. They had been tricked by Hailiya but they couldn't do anything about it. They could only accept it.
"If we want to persevere, we need to get enough food and water. These are the two biggest problems we have to solve …" Ling Lan said coldly.
"But we are surrounded by enemies. Where can we go to get food and water?" The commanding officer of Base 014 sighed.
The commanding officer of Base 015 suddenly thought of something. His eyes narrowed. "Regiment Commander Ling, are you thinking of stealing from the enemy's base?" This was impossible. The enemy's base was heavily guarded. There was no way to sneak in.
"Why not?" Ling Lan said calmly. Besides the enemy's base, where else could they go to get food and water? Even if Ling Lan knew that this plan was ridiculous, she had to do it. She didn't mind paying a heavy price for it.
Because, Ling Lan never chose to wait for death. In order to survive, even if she knew that it was impossible, she had to fight to the death!
"Between waiting for death and fighting with my life on the line, I choose to fight with my life on the line!" Ling Lan declared her decision without hesitation.
The commanding officers of the three bases started smoking. Soon, the entire living room was filled with smoke. Ling Lan's cold face could be vaguely seen in the smoke. However, it couldn't hide the determination in her eyes.
"Just like what Regiment Commander Ling said, if we don't fight to the death, we will die. I'll fight to the death." The commanding officer of Base 014 extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray as if he was trying to extinguish the hesitation in his heart.
"I agree too!"
"I agree!"
The commanding officers of the other two bases finally made up their minds. They knew that this decision might cause tens of thousands of their subordinates to die in this mission. However, in order to let more people survive until reinforcements arrived, they had to do this.
Hearing the commanding officers of the three bases agreeing to her decision, Ling Lan smiled. It should be known that with just the military strength of Ling Lan's base, it was impossible for her to snatch back the rations and water supplies of the 500,000 soldiers. She needed to work together with the people from the other three bases. Also, she wanted to provide food and water for everyone. She didn't want the soldiers of Base 013 to be the only ones risking their lives. On this point, Ling Lan was surprisingly stingy.
... eight mecha Mecha Mecha clan... eight mecha. 250 Ace Mecha Clan sent three mecha teams. Team 02, team 03, and team 08 were in charge of providing support and providing cover.
The person in charge of this mission was the leader of team 02, Liu Furong. Team 08's leader, Han Jijun, was the strategist. Team 03's leader, Zilong, was in charge of providing cover. At first, Ling Lan wanted to let Li Lanfeng lead team 06. However, Han Jijun volunteered himself. In the end, Ling Lan chose Han Jijun.
These people split up and left the base in different groups. As Base 013 had been sending many patrolling teams, these small groups of mecha clans didn't attract the attention of Hailiya.
Just like that, one day later, all the mecha clans that participated in the mission successfully left.
In the command center, Zhao Jun looked at Li Lanfeng, who had a cold expression on his face. He said regretfully, "It's a pity that we can't go."
Li Lanfeng glanced at him and said calmly, "If you want to go, why didn't you volunteer yourself like Han Jijun? What's there to pity about staying here? You deserve it! "
Zhao Jun pouted. 'Look, your mission was snatched away. You must be unhappy now!' You're speaking so harshly … On the surface, you look like you're obeying orders. However, you're actually angry inside.
"Don't I want to go? But, in front of Boss's cold expression, do I dare to say anything? "Zhao Jun felt wronged. Recently, the situation was getting worse and worse for them. Boss's cold aura was even more intense than before. He wanted to say something but he swallowed it back. He still didn't dare to say anything. At this point, Zhao Jun began to admire Han Jijyun. At the very least, Han Jijyun had the courage to make his request.
Li Lanfeng scoffed. "You look like a burly man but you don't even have the courage. You're useless."
"I'm useless. But, if you have the courage, why didn't you say anything?" Zhao Jun was unhappy. Li Lanfeng didn't reject Han Jijyun's offer even though his mission was snatched away by Han Jijyun.
Li Lanfeng pursed his lips. Could he say that he was stopped by Ling Lan's gaze? If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have pressured Han Jijun on purpose when he was working with him. Was this considered smashing his own foot with a rock? Han Jijun was suppressed by him so much that he finally retaliated and snatched his mission. It was one thing to snatch the mission, but what made him want to vomit blood was that … he actually missed the opportunity to fight alongside Ling Lan!
That's right. Among the three teams, their regiment commander, Ling Lan, was smuggled away. No one knew that Ling Lan had left Base 013 and joined this mission to snatch supplies.
Hailiya's Base Ailan wasn't located at the frontline of the war between the two countries. It was originally a base at the second line of defense. Of course, it was no longer a base at the second line of defense. Most of the mecha clans had gone to the bases at the front. Hence, it became a half defensive and half logistics base.
This was also why there was only one base at the east of Planet Haijiao that was still resisting. This was the result of Hailiya deliberately letting them do as they pleased. Although many soldiers at the frontline didn't understand why, this was an order from the headquarters of the war zone. Even if they didn't understand it, they knew that they had to listen to the order.
After Ling Lan looked at the map of the Hailiya bases, she chose this base as her target.
Ling Lan knew that the Hailiya bases around Base 013 would definitely be filled with mecha clans. In order to support so many mecha clans, they had to rely on the bases at the back for supplies. Hence, she decided to target the bases at the second line of defense. Also, after asking Little Four about the situation of these bases before the satellites were cut off, she knew that there was a huge natural ice cave under Base Ailan. From this, she could deduce that Base Ailan was the best place to store food and water.
Of course, there was a certain degree of risk in this judgment. If Ling Lan made a wrong judgment and returned empty-handed, Hailii would be prepared and would not give Ling Lan and the others another chance. Whether the base could continue resisting or not depended on this gamble.
