"Kill him."
"I've already killed him."
Du Shaoqing held the mini communicator and sent out orders to the black MX mecha which had already escaped from the valley. In less than half a minute, the black MX mecha in the distance gave a clear and forceful response.
These two simple sentences made the expressions of everyone in the Iron Seventh Division on the peak change drastically.
The officers knew very well that the person in the Moon Wolf 4th Gen mecha was the Empire's ace pilot, Lov. Facing such a strong opponent, could it be that the black MX only used such a short amount of time to end the mecha battle and kill the opponent?
At this moment, the conversation between the commander and Xu Le still seemed to be echoing in the quiet peak, reverberating in their ears.
Everything happened so quickly that the officers couldn't react in time. They looked at the commander in the command center in shock as he turned on the high-powered battlefield communicator.
…
…
Ximen Jin had been carefully monitoring the Empire's mecha group outside the valley.
The relevant tactical simulations had already been completed. All the combat units under the command of the division knew the tactical details of this ambush by heart. He shouldn't be so nervous, but this was the first time the Iron Seventh Division was on the battlefield. A real battlefield was very different from a mock battle. Furthermore, the backup assault team of the Imperial expeditionary force had more than ten thousand people, and they were already on their way.
There wasn't much time left for the Iron Seven Masters. Fortunately, the black MX was able to kill the Imperial Mecha Captain cleanly behind the mountain with a few simple words.
Compared to his colleagues, he woke up faster. This was because he had seen how terrifying the MX under the control of Xu Le was when he was at the bottom of the Blue Pond Valley on planet S1.
Looking at the back of her teacher, Ximen Jin's heart surged with a trace of complicated emotions. This kind of emotion was not because Xu Le had killed the Empire's ace mech pilot in seconds, but because of the extremely concise conversation between her teacher and Xu Le …
From the commander to the most common soldier in the Iron Seventh Division, no one liked the young lieutenant colonel who had joined the army halfway. Xu Le believed that he didn't have a good impression of the Iron Seventh Division either.
However, Du Shaoqing did not even give it a second thought before handing over the crucial task of luring the Empire's mecha fleet into the valley to the other party.
Xu Le didn't even think about it before agreeing to it and completing it in an extremely efficient manner.
…
…
What did this mean? This represented absolute trust and confidence.
Division Commander Shaoqing had absolute confidence in Xu Le's abilities, and Xu Le also had absolute confidence in Du Shaoqing's military judgment. Furthermore, he believed that a model soldier like Du Shaoqing would never harm his comrades on the battlefield. That was why he did not hesitate to turn around and take a huge risk to kill a person for the Iron Seventh Division.
This kind of trust did not happen between brothers who had gone through life and death together. It happened between two people who were natural opposites and had a deep hatred for each other. The meaning behind this was very moving.
Du Shaoqing did not care about what his subordinates were thinking. He waved his hand with a cold expression on his face and signaled the troops to start preparing. Then he connected to the battlefield high-power communication system and said into the sound receiver, "Lov is dead."
…
…
He spoke the Empire language, a very standard Empire language.
Since a long time ago, the entire Iron Seventh Division had started training in this area because they knew that one day they would have to go to the frontline and deal with the Empire people face to face.
In the division headquarters, Du Shaoqing's voice was calm and deep. However, in the next moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out from the countless mountains and valleys along the Huangshanling Lonely Ridge.
"Lov is dead."
The Federation's battlefield communication system transmitted this sentence through the high-power loudspeaker. The loud voice resounded through the mountains and shattered the quiet night sky of the southern hemisphere. It was clearly transmitted to the Imperial Moonwolf Group that was on alert and waiting for reinforcements at the edge of the valley.
Almost at the same time, in the dark valley, following Du Shaoqing's cold voice, countless bright light beams lit up. In the crevices of the mountains and in the rock formations, the high-brightness searchlights that the Iron Seventh Division had set up in advance instantly lit up the entire sky and the valley.
The dark yellow rock surface of the mountain finally showed its true color under the bright light. The Imperial Moonwolf Group outside the valley was illuminated by the bright light and couldn't hide. On the gentle slope of the valley, the Federal military's mountain grenade launchers also took off their disguise. Countless composite armored vehicles and armed infantry of the Federation revealed themselves and aimed at the hundreds of third-generation Moonwolf mechas from the Empire.
The air strike force of the Empire and the Federation was on the third line of defense in the southern hemisphere right now. They were chasing each other at high speed like streams of light, providing support for the extremely cruel offensive and defensive bloody battle on the ground. There was no way for them to provide support. Therefore, the Iron Seventh Division actually gave up on the usual flares and chose to use searchlights to illuminate the sky and the ground at the same time.
The iron-blooded commander of the Iron Seventh Division gave up on the ambush at the last moment of the battle without hesitation. He chose to annihilate the enemy head-on. It was just a matter of whether the Empire people dared to come. Because of the searchlights, this valley became a bright concert stage, just like the concert called "victory" a few hours ago.
There was no countdown, no yelling orders, only silence. The bright searchlights lit up countless mountain peaks. Countless armored vehicles and soldiers of the Federation appeared in the valley. Then, countless cannons roared and fired at the Empire mechas outside the valley.
…
…
The lights were very bright, but it wasn't unbearable. The appearance of the Federation's ambush in the valley ahead was already within the Empire's tactical calculations. Therefore, even though the Empire soldiers saw the dense crowd of armored vehicles and soldiers of the Federation charging over, they were still able to maintain their calm. Even under the whistling and sharp barrage of cannons, they were confident that their high-speed mechas would be able to avoid most of the damage.
What really made the Empire soldiers shiver was the voice at the beginning, that sentence. They didn't know that the person who spoke was the commander of the Federation's Iron Seventh Division, Du Shaoqing, but because of the content of that sentence, they felt extremely cold.
"Is the commander dead?"
Colonel Lov's domineering and rough voice didn't ring in the communication system of the Empire mechas. All the Empire officers, including the three squadron leaders, felt an extremely dangerous omen in their hearts. They knew that the Federation wasn't lying.
At this time, the first wave of cannons from the Iron Seventh Division had already arrived.
"Scatter and evade!" The first squadron leader of the Moonwolf Group ordered in a deep voice.
One hundred and four green-black Moon Wolf mecha, with a whoosh, followed the forest outside the valley and began to perform high-speed evasive maneuvers. Even though they were shocked to the point of disbelief by the extremely terrifying news, these Empire pilots still calmly and precisely completed each of their maneuvers, dispersing with extreme speed towards the wild forest behind the valley.
The movements of the Empire's mechas were so clean and precise. It felt like a balloon filled with many glass beads that suddenly exploded. All the glass beads inside the balloon sputtered everywhere. Every mecha maintained an extremely suitable distance from each other.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dense cannons of the Iron Seventh Division landed horribly on the ground. The bombardment caused the entire ground to tremble. Tons of soil were blown up and scattered. Trees were burned and fell. Giant rocks were shattered.
However, the Empire's mechas used their high mobility to avoid most of the direct damage. The mechas in black and green quickly left the dense cannons and hid behind the mountains and giant trees. Using these natural shelters, they blocked the first wave of cannons from the Federation.
Right now, there were two paths in front of the Moonwolf Group.
The first was to give up on the ten mechas that had already rushed past the valley, including their commander, Lov. They would immediately retreat and leave the Huangshanling Lonely Ridge area. As long as the mechas increased their speed, the Federation's ambush team wouldn't be able to catch up with them.
The second path was to attack the valley and weaken the Federal Army's combat power at all costs. They would avenge their commander and delay the Federal Army for the Empire's assault team. In fact, an entire mecha team did have this ability. Although the valley area was convenient for ambushes, once the mechas broke in, their high mobility would be the nightmare of the Federation's mechanical army.
…
…
"Commander, 17 mechas are slightly damaged. Only two mechas have lost their mobility."
The smoke and flames that filled the sky outside the valley, as well as the violent explosions there, had become much quieter by the time they reached the peak. However, Ximen Jin's voice was still very loud.
"Got it." Du Shaoqing had a cold expression on his face. He silently looked at the trembling ground under his feet. He looked at his subordinates who were bravely charging in the mountains. He was very satisfied with this terrible result.
…
…
Iron Seventh Division's first round of cannon fire didn't cause any real damage to the Empire's high-speed mechas. On the contrary, it gave the Empire's soldiers a strong sense of confidence. According to the calculation of firepower, there was indeed only one Federation mechanic in the mountains. How could a division be able to stop their Iron Stream Charge?
Between the two completely opposite paths, the Moonwolf Group chose the latter without hesitation. The shock and pain caused by Commander Lov's death turned into courage and bravery. One hundred black and green mechas instantly broke through the thick fog of gunpowder and charged into the valley!
The Iron Stream Charge rushed in, stirring up a frenzied cloud of dust. The collective charge of the heavy mechas looked so unstoppable that even the mountains under the searchlights started to tremble. High mobility, powerful firepower, and a mecha design that was extremely suitable for mountainous warfare turned the Moonwolf Group into a ferocious mountain-splitting axe. They viciously chopped down on the encirclement of Iron Seventh Division.
Countless dull sounds of metal clashing rang out in the valley. The sound of bullets and cannons shook the sky. The Empire's mechas were like countless black shadows, moving freely in the frontline of Iron Seventh Division. They were ferocious and incomparably sharp. In an instant, they continuously charged forward a distance of 700 meters.
In front of this kind of Iron Stream Charge, the slow tanks and armed infantry couldn't react at all. In the process of charging forward, the Moonwolf Group's advantage in speed was displayed to the extreme.
"Find their M52s. Closely monitor the activation frequency of the anti-mecha mine array!
The company leader's Moonwolf mecha fiercely shot out a rain of bullets, turning the Federation soldiers 100 meters away into pools of blood. At this time, there were countless flames of anger in his heart. He only wanted to help the main team behind him delay this Federation division, but he didn't let down his guard.
…
…
In the headquarters of Iron Seventh Division, Ximen Jin's expression was solemn as she looked at the rising casualty count. Finally, she couldn't help but look at her division commander.
Du Shaoqing wore sunglasses and sat silently on a large rock. He looked at the tragic battlefield below. Looking at the fierce yet cautious Empire's mechas breaking into the ambush circle, he knew that the enemy's backup commander hadn't truly gone crazy. He opened his mouth and said, "Wait a little longer."
Ximen Jin's heart tightened. It should be known that every second they waited, more of their comrades would die.
"What my division commander needs now is time. He must succeed in one strike. We can't let this pile of mechas drag on until the ten thousand people behind us arrive," Du Shaoqing slowly closed his eyes under the sunglasses and said, "Only victory and defeat, not life and death …"
"This is war."
