"After this battle, I will recommend to the Ministry of National Defence to suspend Dongfang Pei's authority," said Du Shaoqing expressionlessly. "You don't need to plead for him."
Ximen Jin did not plead for Dongfang Pei, because she knew very well what kind of persevering and cold temperament the teacher she was determined to follow had. Once he made a decision, unless a higher-ranked general directly used military orders to suppress him, he would not make any changes.
"Understood." Ximen Jin cleanly changed the topic. "According to the calculations, it will be very difficult for the Green Dragon Mountain vanguard to survive these few days in the geomagnetic storm zone. Even if all three regiments of the 17th Division arrive, it will probably be too late. After all, the weather conditions there are too harsh, and the Empire has gathered all the remnants of their forces, so the difference in strength is too great. "
"War is fought by people, but we definitely cannot ignore the use of equipment." Du Shaoqing said in a low voice, "Whether or not the Empire's remaining forces have enough ammunition to sustain continuous high-intensity attacks is itself a problem. If … Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le can fix the command system of the Green Dragon Mountain division, they might be able to hold on."
The question and answer between the two of them was very much like a conversation between a teacher and a student in a military academy. In reality, in Du Shaoqing's military experience, he had never been stingy with his subordinates' command standards. Ximen Jin listened intently to her teacher's analysis, but her mood was different from previous years, and a trace of doubt grew in her indifference.
The battle philosophy of the Federal forces had always been vaguely divided into two types. One was heavy equipment, and the other was heavy command and daily training. The graduation demonstration the Ministry of National Defence had held at the training base was to show the senior officers of the army what kind of changes the revolutionary MX mecha would bring to this battle. However, the results did not seem to be obvious.
In this kind of disagreement, Du Shaoqing was undoubtedly the spokesperson of the latter, but now it seemed that … he had made some kind of change himself. He had deployed the new MX mecha in large numbers in Iron Seven Division, creating all the conditions in battle to unleash the super attack power of the MX mecha group. This kind of change in command philosophy was obvious in those words earlier.
"Follow the rules. Dongfang Pei did not do anything wrong. I don't want to talk about this anymore." Du Shaoqing lowered his head to look at the electronic map and said indifferently, "But since we didn't move at the beginning, we shouldn't move too quickly. The 17th Division was one step ahead of us. We don't need to fight for this kind of credit."
"Understood." Ximen Jin nodded, then his expression slightly congealed, and said in a low voice: "I received a message from S1, I might have to go back in the near future."
Du Shaoqing's hand that was holding the recorder paused for a moment. He was silent for a moment, but he did not say anything. He continued his tactical deduction work, as if he had given his silent consent.
Ximen Jin faintly smiled, then saluted to him behind the table, then turned around and walked out of the room.
Du Shaoqing raised his head and looked at the empty doorway. His thoughts drifted somewhere. His eyes, which were usually as cold as the sea of ice, showed a rare trace of doubt and sadness of introspection.
Just like Ximen Jin and Dongfang Pei, who were determined to follow him, Shaoqing also had someone he admired in the Federation. At this time, he did not know why Ximen Jin had returned to the capital ring. Because it was that person's idea, he did not want to ask. He only had a vague feeling that something bad was happening, but he had acquiesced to this kind of thing happening …
At certain times, not expressing one's opinion was the truest opinion. Du Shaoqing narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw the shadow in the depths of his heart, and a trace of extremely complicated emotions appeared. His right hand subconsciously exerted force, and with a crack, he broke the recorder. Black electrolyte sputtered out and fell on the electronic map, smearing a large stain on the blizzard area in the northeast direction.
…
…
In the battle area in the snowfield and glacier, there was still a violent snowstorm. In the deep belly of the battlefield, on a snow hill near the front line of the Empire, the snow was almost as hard as ice due to the blowing of the wind. In the vision polluted by the dazzling snowflakes, there was nothing strange. There was only a black gravel-like thing floating in front of the snow hill. It seemed to have been swept here by a foreign wind and had no choice but to move here.
Only when one got close to the black gravel-like thing could one roughly see that under the disguise of the stone was a high-definition scope probe specially made by the Federation. However, the Imperial expeditionary force, who had already been exhausted and were only holding on with their crazy spirit, would not carefully search the front line of their position in the blizzard. In their opinion, the surrounded Federal forces were even more dying than them. There was no way that they could get close to their barracks.
Under the black gravel-like thing was a thin white line. The material of the white line was ultra-low temperature resistant wire. In such a cold air, it could still maintain a sufficient curvature. The white line extended all the way to the bottom of the thick snow until it was several meters underground.
In the snow cave deep underground, it was dark. The light from the sky struggled to leak in, but it could not illuminate the true color of the surrounding snow walls.
The space in the snow cave was very small. Shi Qinghai, who was wearing an extremely thick winter suit, closed his eyes and curled up his body like a shrimp resting. He was holding the ACW great gun with a metallic luster in his arms, but at this time, he did not pay attention to the data transmitted to the light screen by the white line. He was like a hibernating bear, and no one knew when he would wake up.
He had been hiding in this snow hill for two days. The water vapor on his chin had all condensed into ice strands, which looked a little funny. In fact, if it were not for the winter suit automatically heating his urine and circulating it around his body, his whole body would have been frozen into an ice pillar.
Shi Qinghai woke up at some point. He opened his eyes and glanced at the light screen, then immediately closed his eyes again to save his physical strength and energy and to ensure that his body temperature did not drop too much. He had been staring at the periphery of this military camp for a long time, but he had not found any worthy targets. It really made him feel a little bored.
Two days ago, at the periphery of the war zone, he had quietly killed three low-level imperial officers. However, he always felt that if he continued to do this, it would not be satisfying. The members of the Trinity Society were armed with the fiercest guns in the universe. They were characters who had even assassinated Macklin. If they were to simply snipe some stupid low-level officers of the Empire, they would be buried in this snowstorm. This kind of death was really not worth it. It was not very spectacular and did not have any sense of beauty.
Therefore, he began to move toward the interior of the Empire. Between the crisscrossing bullets above his head, under the eyes of countless people, he moved forward and forward. He despised the God of Death and the people of the Empire, and quietly arrived at this snow hill.
It was hard to imagine how Shi Qinghai had managed to sneak through this nine-kilometer journey and how he had not been discovered by anyone. It was incredible that he was so fierce.
In the snow cave, he suddenly opened his eyes again. He furrowed his beautiful eyebrows and cursed silently. He took out a bottle of spray from the equipment bag next to him and carefully sprayed it around the snow cave. The ultra-low temperature of the liquid nitrogen instantly made the snow wall that was showing signs of softening suddenly firm up.
He had done this many times before so that he could carefully maintain the appearance of this snow hill without any changes. However, there was one thing that made the fearless Mr. Shi extremely angry. He had searched the regiment headquarters of the advance force for half a night, but he still could not find a camouflaged targeting probe suitable for snow.
After finishing the routine work, the surrounding temperature became even colder. Shi Qinghai narrowed his eyes and glanced at his watch. He found that it was already early in the morning, so he forced himself to wake up and stop sleeping.
The watch on his wrist looked like a Federal military standard, but in fact, it was a modified product sent by Xu Le. There were many practical small tools on it. Every time he looked at his watch in the snow cave, Shi Qinghai would think of his brother who was as stubborn and stupid as a rock most of the time. He thought silently that it might be difficult to see him again.
But more often than not, Shi Qinghai was thinking about other things.
He quietly looked at the hologram that popped up on his wristwatch. He looked at the beautiful woman in red and the cute little guy in the woman's arms. A trace of satisfaction flashed across his handsome face.
…
…
More than 20 uncamouflaged MX mechas were mixed in with even more snow armors. Countless engine roars of different tones mixed together and shook the snow off the surface of the mechas.
This troop made of steel didn't care about whether or not their whereabouts would be exposed. They were so silent and open that they even seemed arrogant as they moved forward happily in the snow. It was just that they strangely maintained a uniform speed and didn't show the anxiety that such a combat posture would show.
In the Federation's 17th Division First Regiment, their regiment commander, Lieutenant Colonel He Lei, was very anxious at this time. He sat in the command electronic control vehicle and scolded with a dark face, "An entire regiment, circling around in the snow for two days, and in the end, actually circled back to the starting point. What use do I have for you guys?"
"The geomagnetic storm in this area is too strong. Long wave communication is completely cut off, and that side filter signal hasn't reappeared," the commander of the electronic control company explained with a gloomy expression.
"What's the use of explaining to me? We secretly came out to provide support, or rather, we disobeyed military orders to come here. If we can't find that ambushed Green Dragon Mountain troop, we will become the biggest joke. "
He Lei didn't know that the command center had already decided to provide support to Green Dragon Mountain's vanguard. Thinking about his current situation and what could happen on the battlefield, he roared furiously, "To put it bluntly! I don't care about the lives of those monkeys from Green Dragon Mountain, but if we are late and cause the instructor to die, before I take out my gun and commit suicide, I will definitely kill all of you first! "
The tracked armored vehicle undulated slightly on the snowy ground. The atmosphere in the vehicle was very stifling. The electronic control soldiers in the first regiment were very gloomy. Facing this kind of tyranny of nature, it was easy for humans to appear helpless. In reality, they didn't believe that the technical director Xu Le's two mechas would be able to find the trapped troops from Green Dragon Mountain in this snowy region unless they were lucky.
After venting his anger, He Lei immediately regained his calm. As an officer that the Federation focused on nurturing, his brain spun quickly for a moment and he thought of something.
"Returning to the starting point isn't a bad idea. Only idiots like us would use the most advanced electronic positioning at this time. The instructor entered the geomagnetic storm area from here. Gu Xifeng said that the side filter could be located … "
"Pass down my orders," He Lei roared.
"Spread out in a straight line. Maintain a distance of 20 kilometers between the two sides. Move forward at the highest speed. The mecha groups can leave the main unit and spread out in a fan shape."
"Keep an eye on the sun in the sky and the moon in the night. Just shoot!"
"Whoever is lucky enough to hear the first gunshot, I will give him the first award."
"Direction: north of northeast."
