Yang Mingzhi sighed when he saw Han Jijun's mechas disappearing. "Leader Han has finally learned how to be ruthless."
Gu Dongyang looked at the mess on the ground and said calmly, "Didn't our regiment commander bring him out to make him understand this? On the battlefield, being soft-hearted will only harm you, especially when you are in the position of a strategist. Being soft-hearted will only cause more innocent soldiers to die. "
"Killing prisoners of war is the first step to learning how to be ruthless. He still has a long way to go." Yang Mingzhi watched these new recruits grow up bit by bit. He felt that letting them become team leaders was a bit excessive. However, from the looks of it, their boss was still the one who understood them the most. Ling Lan knew how strong her comrades were. Han Jijun had always thought that he was the weakest but in Yang Mingzhi's eyes, he had already passed. It was just that after learning how to be ruthless, Han Jijun became even more outstanding.
It turned out that Han Jijyun was looking for his comrades. If he found any imperial operators from Hailiya who were still alive, based on his past personality, he would definitely save them and bring them back for treatment. However, after this battle, Han Jijun felt the pain of losing his comrades. He finally understood what it meant to fight to the death.
Although Han Jijyun had hesitated when he discovered these people, in the end, he made up his mind and killed them mercilessly. He did it secretly but how could he escape the eyes of the experienced Yang Mingzhi and Gu Dongyang? Even many veteran mecha operators noticed him. However, they pretended that they didn't see anything. They wanted Han Jijun to get used to this cruel battlefield as soon as possible. They wanted him to become stronger and more ruthless.
Killing prisoners of war was the beginning of a new recruit's growth. The Federation trained their new recruits this way. The other countries did the same too. Compared to the battlefield thousands of years ago, the survival rate of prisoners of war was extremely low in this era.
Han Jijun didn't walk far before he met Zhao Jun's team. When he saw the injured team 02 and 08, his expression changed slightly. He knew that he was late.
"Where's Boss?" Zhao Jun looked around and didn't see Ling Lan. He asked anxiously.
"Boss and Zilong's team 03 are on Base Ailan. They will be coming back soon. You should go and help them now." Han Jijun told Zhao Jun his guess calmly. Compared to before, Han Jijun's words were less likely. Maybe, maybe, he was uncertain. If an excellent military advisor couldn't even be sure of his own speculations, how could he convince others to believe in his arrangements?
"I understand." Zhao Jun hurriedly brought his team over. Luckily, he wasn't too late.
The moment Zhao Jun arrived at the intersection point between Base 013 and Yaqi, he saw Gu Dongyang's Team 09 waiting for him. Yang Mingzhi's Team 01 was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Dongyang saw Zhao Jun. Before he could greet him, his radar started to ring. Not long after, countless mecha operators appeared in the sky above Yaqi. They covered the sky and moved towards them like a dark cloud.
Gu Dongyang looked at them and knew that they couldn't defeat these people with just 40 to 50 mecha operators. He quickly shouted, "Let's retreat!"
Zhao Jun's team didn't even have time to rest. They quickly retreated with Gu Dongyang's team. Zhao Jun came here to look for a breakthrough and fight against powerful enemies. However, he didn't come here to die. When he saw so many enemies, he knew that staying here would be the same as dying. When he heard Gu Dongyang's order, he didn't hesitate and left with his team. However, he was still holding back his anger. If he had the chance, he would definitely fight with them.
Zhao Jun and Gu Dongyang quickly used short-wave technology to transmit the news to Base 013. Base 013 reacted quickly and sent out their mecha clans.
Just as Yaqi was about to catch up with the transport team, the reinforcements from Base 013 arrived. Yaqi's mecha clashed with Base 013's reinforcements and started a brutal battle. One side wanted to protect their future source of life while the other side wanted to destroy it.
Zhao Jun had been waiting for this moment for too long. When he saw the reinforcements, he immediately turned his mecha around and pounced towards his opponent. It was the mecha of Yaqi's ace mecha clan's regiment commander.
Gu Dongyang saw Zhao Jun rushing towards the regiment commander's mecha. He originally wanted to attack the regiment commander's mecha too, but now, he smiled and changed his target to a team leader's mecha. As a veteran, he was happy to see a newcomer with such courage and boldness, seeking to improve himself.
On this side, Base 013's first battle began. On the other hand, at the border between Yaqi and Base 013, Yang Mingzhi's team had already used the chameleon system to hide perfectly. They coldly watched Gu Dongyang and Zhao Jun's team retreat. They ignored the huge army of Yaqi that flew past them. Although they wanted to fight alongside Gu Dongyang and Zhao Jun's teams, they knew that they had a more important mission. They had to support their regiment commander.
Before Zhao Jun arrived, Yang Mingzhi and Gu Dongyang had already discussed it. Yang Mingzhi's team would be in charge of supporting their regiment commander while Gu Dongyang's team would be in charge of attracting the attention of Yaqi's army.
Batches of mecha clans from Base Yaqi flew past them. Yang Mingzhi waited for a while. When he felt that there were no more mecha clans chasing after them, he ordered his team to turn off the chameleon system. Then, he waited patiently for Ling Lan and the others to return.
"Beep beep beep …" Suddenly, all 24 mechas sounded their alarms.
"Leader, more mechas appeared in Yaqi's direction." One of the team members looked at the dozens of enemy mechas on the radar and said nervously.
Just as Yang Mingzhi was about to order his team to turn on the chameleon system again, he suddenly saw that the enemy mechas weren't flying in a straight line. They were flying to the right and then back to the left.
He immediately turned to the screen and tried his best to zoom in on the enemy mechas. Because they were too far away, the mechas were very small and blurry. However, he could still see the three mechas at the front flying in a zigzag pattern. They were dodging the beam attacks coming from behind them.
"They are our people." Yang Mingzhi immediately shouted, "Follow me." If he didn't guess wrongly, they should be the regiment commander and the others who stayed behind to cover their retreat.
Yang Mingzhi and the others operated their mechas to chase after them. After a few seconds, they saw the three mechas that were being chased. They were the mechas of team 03's team leader, his wingman and the modified mecha of 250's regiment commander.
Yang Mingzhi was happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that Ling Lan's regiment commander was fine. However, he was sad that team 03 only had their team leader, Zilong, and one other team leader left. This meant that team 03 was almost completely wiped out. Actually, when he heard Han Jijun say that their regiment commander was going to bring up the rear, he already knew that team 03 was going to be completely wiped out. This was why Yang Mingzhi was angry and kicked Liu Furong. He blamed him for leaving their regiment commander behind to cover their retreat.
That was a mission with almost no chance of survival. Luckily, their regiment commander was someone who could create miracles. In the end, he still came back alive.
