Originally, the airdrop attack on Giweng's base had ended when Giweng's base was blocked by anti-air defenses, causing the surprise attack to turn into a direct assault. Perhaps the target of the assault was a base that had been fully prepared and had all sorts of defensive facilities set up. But even so, Xiao Ran did not take advantage of the chaos caused by Gu Wenjun's air defense position being breached to chase after the defeated troops. Instead, he stopped and ordered everyone to immediately clean up the battlefield, provide assistance indiscriminately, and extinguish the raging fire in the jungle caused by the battle.
Although there was no water source to extinguish the fire, it was not too difficult for a steel giant like the MS to deal with these flames. The fire could not be extinguished directly, but it could be separated by a fire belt to achieve the purpose of effectively controlling the fire. In the end, the fire would be extinguished at the place where the fire was slowly burning.
In terms of the search and rescue personnel, the progress was very slow. Although they were shot down and fell from the sky one by one, the difference in the angle of the fall would infinitely expand the search range of the rescue personnel on the ground, especially in the dense jungle, which added a lot of difficulty to the search and rescue work.
The pursuit that was supposed to continue was completely stopped. The Federation army that was supposed to continue marching toward Guyon's base stopped because of Xiao Ran's order. Logically speaking, although they should continue the pursuit, Xiao Ran's order to stop the pursuit to check the airframe and the search and rescue personnel were reasonable. After all, Gu Wenjun was also there. They needed to investigate clearly if he had arranged any ambushes along the pursuit route. However, putting out the fire and indiscriminately providing assistance to Gu Wenjun's wounded seemed to be an eyesore.
In the eyes of some people, these two things were obviously a waste of time. They directly checked the combat weapons, which were also known as the MS, and sent people to investigate first. After receiving the investigation report, they continued to move forward. They could leave the rescue work to the non-combatants. There was no need to leave everyone here to waste time, not to mention wasting manpower to search for Guyon's men and extinguish the fire that would be extinguished by the rain at any time.
Therefore, when Xiao Ran was sitting in the makeshift camp for the wounded, the communications personnel walked over to Xiao Ran with heavy communication equipment on their backs. After giving a military salute to Xiao Ran, he took a microphone and said, "Sir, Colonel Lea needs to speak to you."
Xiao Ran glanced at the black microphone in the signaller's hand and took it with a sneer. "Hey. This is Alex. "
Colonel Lea's cold voice rang in Xiao Ran's ears. "Colonel Arikos, why did you ask the entire army to stop advancing at such a crucial time? Please immediately stop the search and rescue for the missing people and hand them over to the following rescue teams. Combat personnel should immediately continue advancing towards Gu Wenjun Base."
Colonel Lea used two 'immediately' consecutively. With a cold and indifferent voice, he seemed to be reminding them that the situation of the battle could change at any moment. Every minute wasted would change the situation a little more.
"I am the frontline commander. I know very well what kind of orders should be given under different circumstances. Thank you for your concern, Colonel Lea." Xiao Ran smiled faintly and continued. "I don't know if Colonel Lea knows the real situation here, but we suffered a huge loss from Gu Wenjun's sudden attack using the air defense position when we were unprepared. Moreover, the impact on our morale is not small. Moreover, when the MS landed in the dense forest area, many of the airframes were damaged. It's not suitable to act blindly. "
"Speaking of which, this has to do with the collection of information. If not for the fact that we don't know anything about Gu Wenjun's base, we wouldn't have flown above Gu Wenjun's air defense position. Therefore, instead of urging me to continue attacking without understanding the situation, why don't Colonel Lea quickly transport all the non-combat logistics personnel over here immediately and bring along the materials needed to repair the MS. Then, we can speed up the inspection and repair of the MS and take over our current work. What do you think?"
The receiver was silent for a few seconds before the cold voice sounded again. "I will. If your orders delay the best timing of the battle. If it causes our mission to fail, I will report you to the higher-ups and impeach you. "
"I know you are very dissatisfied with me, so please feel free to impeach me. However, I have to thank you for only impeaching me." Xiao Ran laughed. He said without hesitation, "And not like some people who planted a traitor's name and even arranged for people to kill them. At first, I was really worried. Now, I am much more relieved."
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, the communications personnel carrying heavy communication equipment and the other soldiers who were busy around Xiao Ran looked at them. Regardless of whether they were combat personnel or non-combat personnel, they were all stunned for a moment. But very quickly, they acted as if nothing had happened and lowered their heads to continue with their work.
The receiver was completely silent. Xiao Ran chuckled and continued, "I still have a lot of things to deal with and arrange here. That's all for now."
As he spoke, he threw the microphone in his hand to the signaller and turned his head to look at the signaller. "You don't have to receive unimportant communications. Also, ask the three MS squadrons and the heretic MS brigade how they're doing with their missions."
The communications personnel did not forget to turn off the communication device while holding the receiver. After hearing Xiao Ran's words, he nodded heavily and said, "Yes, sir."
Xiao Ran nodded. The signaller also ran to the other side of the Federation and found a table with a comrade. Then, he began to contact the team that was sent out to understand the current situation of the mission. Meanwhile, Xiao Ran raised his head and looked at the sun that had already risen in the sky. The sparse sunlight was scattered into rays of light by the dense forest in front of him. He lazily yawned and rested his head on his hand to take a nap.
After the communications were completed, the communications personnel wanted to wake Xiao Ran up to report the situation. However, he was stopped by the comrade who contacted the troops sent out with him. The comrade shook his head slightly and whispered, "Can't you see it? The commander doesn't care about the completion of the missions at all. He is buying time for us to rest and prepare."
"Just wait and see. When the MS troops come back, the commander still has to get someone to repair the MS troops." The soldier raised his head and looked at the sky before saying, "Just wait. The sun has just risen. It will take at least a few hours for the Ms troops to complete their mission. It will take another few hours for them to undergo maintenance. They will only depart in the afternoon. No matter what, the Ms pilots have to rest for a while. As for you, you should rest well."
It was not known if the communications personnel was a new recruit who had just joined the army. After hearing the words of the veteran Youtiao beside him, he nodded with a look of realization. However, he also carefully put the mission report recorded in his notebook into the pocket in front of his chest.
Rest was, of course, one of Xiao Ran's ideas. Since yesterday, the pilots had been in a tense state. Coupled with the sudden attack by Gu Wenjun, the mental stress was extremely high. Therefore, Xiao Ran also wanted to let the soldiers rest for a while so that they could continue the battle in a better state.
In fact, other than the heretic MS troops who needed to investigate and explore a large area, the search and rescue personnel did not really need the MS. The only thing they needed to do to put out a fire was to clear a fire belt. As for things like building a defensive line, they could also take turns to rest after it was done.
The rest time that Xiao Ran wasted here would also become Gu Wenjun's preparation time. However, to Xiao Ran, it did not matter even if Gu Wenjun was making more preparations. At this time, Gu Wenjun on Earth had already retreated to the universe on a large scale. The situation of any Gu Wenjun base was actually very difficult. It was impossible to provide them with too many combat materials and personnel.
Xiao Ran had read the original work, and he was also very clear about the situation of this Gu Wenjun base. There were a lot of wounded soldiers, and there were not many real combatants. The absolute main force was the MA used in the giant atmosphere. Even if there were some more MS, it was impossible to change the result of Gu Wenjun's defeat.
In Xiao Ran's mind, a picture jumped out from nowhere. This picture depicted a huge broken mountain peak. The original towering mountain peak had a huge space from the left waist and the center from the side, and all this was just because of a bombardment from a MA.
This MA is the airframe that they may face later. Xiao Ran can't remember the name, but he still remembers the shape of the MA. It is long and thin, and has two big balls that can be retracted. It is like a crab's body. If you put it in the universe, add some suitable weapons and improve it a little, then this MA at least has the potential of a B-class body.
The key is that it can penetrate the mountain and completely destroy the body of a mountain, but only use the engines of three big demons. The efficiency of energy use can be called terrifying, and the person who can develop such a body, and still develop such a body on the earth, naturally has the ability to say much, but unfortunately, it is a madman who has been blinded.
Unlike Cruzet, even when he is crazy, he remains quite rational, which is pure revenge. There is nothing else mixed in it, and he knows what he is doing, there is the possibility of living, there is the possibility of letting a child like him continue to live, Cruzet came out of hatred, because hatred comes easily, and it is easy to come out.
However, the person who developed this Mech was completely crazy. His goal was to rebuild his ruined family. He was so crazy that he wanted to obtain credit at all costs. He was even prepared to kill his own sister. This kind of person was completely immersed in his own world. It was difficult to communicate with him.
"If it is the main gun of the Milky Way Singer that causes this effect, even the exaggerated effect is not surprising, but the Archangel, my Justice Gundam and any body we have at present can't do this. That's a mountain, the attack that directly penetrates the mountain. Gee, it's worthy of being the body that was prepared to destroy the headquarters of the earth army at the beginning."
Xiao Ran, who was holding his head with his eyes closed, seemed to be taking a nap, but he was thinking about the MA in his head: "Such a body can't be handed over to the Federation Army, but it's a pity to break it directly. At least one of the developers and the body should be left. The body is not easy to get, so I'll just tie him up. At worst, I'll promise that guy to help him strengthen his family. Anyway, he can't get out of my palm."
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran opened his eyes and sat up straight. He turned his head and Look Around. He began to look for El Erf, who was in charge of the work of the entire temporary camp as his deputy. He has such an all-around helper, who can calculate, fight, logistics, management, and knows technology. Although he is not as good as Law, some simple things are not difficult for him. Xiao Ran also felt that his luck was really good, and it was a lot easier for him to find such a person.
He asked someone to find El Erf. Xiao Ran took the two of them to a place where no one was and told El Erf his thoughts.
After El Erf heard Xiao Ran's words, his eyebrows couldn't help jumping a few times: "You mean, the MA used in the atmosphere can penetrate a mountain with one shot. If this is the case, then it has the attack strength of the Revolutionary Machine No. 1, which is really a terrible thing with the current energy level of the world. "
"If this is the case, then this body must be destroyed. It must not be left to the Federation Army who will become our enemy in the future. With such an attack strength, the Archangel certainly can't resist it. Even the Milky Way Singer can't resist such an attack if it doesn't supply all its energy to defense."
El Erf frowned slightly and said: "As for the developers, they can sneak into Gu Wenjun's base and bring him out before the Federation Army officially starts to attack, but it's better to let the heretic MS team start to attack Gu Wenjun's base alone and completely destroy the MA before the Federation Army arrives, lest the people behind us ask us to capture the body after seeing the performance of the MA. In that case, it will be very difficult for us to explain if we have to destroy the body."
"This can also attract some Gu Wenjun's attention and make it easier for me to sneak in."
Xiao Ran nodded and patted El Erf's shoulder: "Then it's arranged like this. If you sneak in alone, there will still be no one to take care of you. Pick Bassac's people and bring Yu with you. Leave Gu Wenjun's MS team to me."
El Erf nodded silently, turned and left to pick the operatives. Xiao Ran also walked towards the command post of the temporary camp. (To be continued.)
