The sky had already darkened, and the snow had stopped. After the thick clouds, the sun had already set beside the ice peak. The last of the Green Dragon Mountain's ammunition had also been thrown out. Amidst the huge explosion, countless blue arcs of electricity sizzled, twisting and struggling to extend in all directions, landing on the alloy bodies of those Imperial mechas and armored vehicles. Like countless snakes that had suddenly awakened from hibernation, they attacked the enemy based on their biological instincts.
Under the cover of this explosion, with the support of the Green Dragon Mountain troops, those two white Federation mecha that had come from afar finally managed to narrowly pass through the interception battle group that the Imperial expeditionary force had temporarily organized before they were on the verge of collapse. Diagonally, they passed through the three Green Dragon Mountain lines of defense and entered the command camp of this trapped army.
Accompanied by the low sound of metal rubbing and liquid compressing, the cockpits of the two white mecha opened. Xu Le and the other three climbed out, exhausted. Their bodies were more or less covered in wounds from the violent collisions. The Green Dragon Mountain soldiers on the ground quickly came forward to receive them, carefully supporting these people who had come from afar as reinforcements.
The officers and soldiers in the command center looked in shock at the terrible wounds on the two white mecha. Looking at the four drenched and haggard Federation soldiers, they easily associated it with the danger of the mecha's advance earlier. They couldn't help but secretly cheer for these people's courage and powerful combat strength.
"I am … the commander of the advance team of the first special army, Li Ming."
Commander Li Ming gripped Xu Le's hand tightly and said with a smile, "Welcome, but I have some very bad news. Our regiment's last of the electromagnetic storm ammunition has already been thrown out. If those Imperial bastards throw their last mecha into battle, other than your two mecha, we have no other way."
Xu Le felt a warm feeling come from his palm. Glancing at the highest commander of the trapped army, he couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration for this commander's calm and steady attitude in such a desperate situation.
"Our regiment has fought for two days and one night. We fought very badly." Commander Li Ming's smile gradually faded as he said calmly, "The command system is damaged. We can't get in touch with the two camps at the snowy peaks. We only know that the battle over there is still ongoing. I don't know how many soldiers have died, but if we don't have enough support, we won't be able to hold on much longer."
"In fact, I thought that no one would care about us." Commander Li Ming said, "I didn't expect that there would be two government mechas willing to accompany us on our last journey."
Xu Le could hear the slight bitterness and resentment in this Green Dragon Mountain commander's voice. If it had been him who had been besieged for two days and one night by the geomagnetic storms, snowstorms, and the crazy remnants of the Empire without seeing any Federation reinforcements or any possibility of escape, perhaps his resentment would be even deeper.
"I believe that the big guys will definitely be able to hold on. The reinforcements from behind should be arriving soon." Xu Le firmly shook the commander's hand and sincerely said, "Since we are here, the situation should be better."
The soldiers of the Green Dragon Mountain army had long been numbed by the blood coagulation and death in these two days and one night of battle. Hearing the words of this small-eyed Federation officer, they didn't have the energy to make an excited expression as a response. Instead, they felt somewhat disapproving and sorrowful ridicule in their hearts.
They had seen with their own eyes those spectacular mecha assault scenes from before and were very impressed by these four Federation soldiers. However, they still did not believe that, faced with the ambush of an entire Imperial Brigade, just these two Federation mecha would be able to save their own troops.
This feeling instantly disappeared without a trace when Xu Le said his next sentence. Expressions of shock appeared on the faces of the Green Dragon Mountain soldiers, somewhat unable to believe their own ears.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the technical director of the 17th Division, Xu Le. These two are my subordinates. This one comes from the Nutshell Engineering Department …"
The command center was silent for two seconds. Everyone looked at this pale-faced and tired Federation officer who didn't have a shred of outstanding features. They stared at those two small eyes in confusion. In their imagination, they placed a large pair of sunglasses on the bridge of this person's nose. Finally, they connected this person in front of them with that famous Federation war hero who often appeared on television.
He was that Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le?
Commander Li Ming was slightly taken aback. Soon after, a bright light shone from his deep eye sockets. His gaze was filled with unconcealable joy.
Because of decades of estrangement and war, there was an extremely deep enmity between the government army and Green Dragon Mountain. After two days and one night of desperate defense, he originally thought that the Federation had already given up on his troops. However, right now, when he saw this young officer in front of him, he suddenly felt as if he had been rescued from a hopeless situation.
If this person in front of him really was that rumored Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, then … the successor of the military god Li Pifu, the son-in-law of the Minister of Defense, the boyfriend of the nation's young lady, these wonderful yet chaotic identities, no matter which one was chosen, it was enough to make the Federation command center not dare to just watch him die.
Commander Li Ming smiled slightly. He thought to himself that since this was the case, then right now, the other party was standing together with him, standing in his command center. This naturally meant that the command center would inevitably come to his aid.
"Send a special squad out. You have to find the liaison officer for me!" Commander Li Ming took a deep breath and said sternly to his subordinates, "We are saved. He doesn't need to become a martyr."
Liaison officer? Hearing this rare position in the army, Xu Le's pupils shrank. He thought of the brother who had lost contact with him and quickly asked, "Shi Qinghai is in your troops?"
Commander Li Ming was slightly startled and nodded.
Through his introduction, Xu Le found out that Mr. Shi had come to this Green Dragon Mountain troop from the West Woods as early as three months ago. He was in charge of the coordination work between the troops and the government army. This time, the advance group was surrounded by the Imperial expeditionary force, and Shi Qinghai was also trapped. After a day and a night of brutal battle, he left a letter casually saying that he was going to kill a few more imperial officers to make his death more beautiful. Then, he took a box that never left his body and drifted away into the wind and snow.
"There's no need to send that squad out." Xu Le took a few quick breaths to calm his mind. Thinking of that guy's abilities, he shook his head and said, "Since he's going to kill snipers, no one can find him unless he wants to come back."
He turned to look at Commander Li Ming and said, "Believe me, no one in this world knows his abilities better than I do. Comrade Commander, what we need to do now is to repair the command system as soon as possible. Please send out engineering personnel. We need to hurry. "
Commander Li Ming also didn't expect this second surprise. He frowned and glanced at the large mecha outside the barracks and said, "Where are the parts?"
While they were talking, Bai Yulan and Xiong Linquan had already opened Block 41 of the mecha's alloy outer armor. The hidden repair arm and fire control firmware had already been emptied, and some of the parts needed to repair the command system had been put in.
"Looks like the models aren't right! Some … aren't parts at all! " A certain senior engineer of the Green Dragon Mountain advance group had rushed excitedly to the snowy ground and then crouched down to count, but he came to a disappointed conclusion.
Commander Li Ming glanced at Xu Le.
"Some of the models are correct. Of course, these parts aren't enough. "
Xu Le rested for a moment, and some of the strength in his body recovered. His pale complexion improved slightly, but the hunger in his stomach burned like a flame. "I need all the damaged armored vehicles here and all the automatic equipment not needed for battle. Also … if there's enough supplies, can you give me a few compressed energy bars?"
"No problem." Commander Li Ming heard his strange request and smiled bitterly. "At least the headquarters won't be too stingy in the area of food. But … this way we can repair the command system."
In the corner of the room, beside the pile of equipment that looked like scrap metal, Shang Qiu, who had already finished the initial inspection, stood up, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, rubbed between his eyebrows, and said calmly, "There's no problem."
…
…
The nights in the arctic glaciers of planet 5460 were always so long. Between the dark snowy plains and icy peaks, there were still sporadic battles going on. In the distance, there were faint sounds of explosions. However, under such a harsh environment, even the Empire's people, who were filled with suicidal madness, were unwilling to launch a large-scale attack.
Behind the headquarters on the high ground, Xu Le and Shang Qiu were nervously and busily carrying out repair work with the assistance of the Green Dragon Mountain Mecha Repair Company soldiers. According to the list they had drawn up, there were many Green Dragon Mountain soldiers. Under the cover of the night, they were drilling into the damaged armored vehicles and self-propelled cannons around the defensive line, continuously dismantling and cutting them.
Hundreds of parts that had passed the test and could still work were piled up in a corner. Xu Le and Shang Qiu stood in front of the open command system workbench, continuously communicating in low voices. As the developer, Shang Qiu was responsible for drawing up the blueprints and program plans, while Xu Le, who had been single-handedly trained by Feng Yu, was responsible for testing the replacement parts using the simple mechanic's spirit of repairing mechas like a television.
After watching for a long time, the soldiers of the Green Dragon Mountain Machine Repair Company, who had previously harbored doubts, finally admitted with shock that the brains of this young man and woman were as efficient and precise as a high-performance workbench. Furthermore, their talent in the area of machine repair was even more jaw-dropping.
"I say, brothers, who are these two people?"
The captain of the Mecha Repair Company stared somewhat absentmindedly at that side. He took out a cigarette case and passed it to the two silent fellows beside him. He said in shock, "This boss of yours, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, is one of the developers of the MX mecha. Everyone knows this. But where did this girl with an explosive figure come from?"
Bai Yulan and Xiong Linquan had been silently guarding beside Xu Le and Shang Qiu with their guns in their arms. After all, they were part of the proper government army. Even if they had done countless dirty and dark missions, under the influence of the Federation's propaganda and military culture, their disdain for the Green Dragon Mountain anti-government army was difficult to erase.
So, at this time, when they heard the three words "brothers" and held between their fingers the No. 37 brand cigarettes, they were actually somewhat unaccustomed to it. After pausing for a moment, they leaned over to the captain's lighter to light the cigarettes and took a deep drag.
Xiong Linquan explained, "She is Shang Qiu, the first-level technical supervisor of Nutshell. She is the main developer of the MX mecha. As for this broken command system, it just so happens that she was the one who designed it."
The cigarette between the captain's lips suddenly dropped. He looked over there as if he had seen a ghost and said, "She is Shang Qiu? … Our entire company's idol! She's actually so pretty? "
