"Senior Colonel He'er Li, we will be reaching the territory of Base 013 in 15 minutes." The commander of this attack, Colonel Ni Duola, said to Senior Colonel He'er Li who was sitting beside him. Senior Colonel He'er Li just came to help out in this attack.
He'er Li was the regiment commander of Hela Ace Mecha Clan. His military rank was one rank higher than Colonel Ni Duola, and he was the trump card in this attack on Base 013. On the surface, he was the commander of this attack. But, in actual fact, he had to listen and answer to this regiment commander.
"Have you made any arrangements for the other bases?" He'er Li put down his binoculars and asked calmly.
With their current manpower on Planet Haijiao, Hailiya was unable to launch a full-scale war, and even if they could, they still win against their opponent by numbers. Thus, this time, they aimed to breach through the Federation's defenses through taking over Base 013.
"We have sent people to hold back the mecha operators from the other bases. We will try our best to not let them send any reinforcements to Base 013." Ni Duola couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. The Hela Ace Mecha Clan was indeed the most powerful mecha clan of Hailiya. He only talked to Senior Colonel He'er Li for a short while, but the invisible force of presence exuding off him already made his heart feel like it was dropped into a freezing lake. He was afraid that one of his careless mistakes would badly affect their entire plan.
"It might be a little difficult if we rely on just them. This is why you kept failing to breach through Base 013. I've seen the records of your past attacks on Base 013. You lost because you were unable to prevent the reinforcements from coming and help them. If you had blocked all of the possible routes for the reinforcements to arrive, Base 013 would belong to Hailiya now." He'er Li frowned slightly. He didn't believe in the abilities of those mecha operators.
Ni Duola felt relieved when he heard this. He felt that his injustice was finally undone. He sighed and nodded. "Senior Colonel, you are right. If our reinforcements were just slightly faster in blocking their reinforcements, we might have ended this war long ago."
He'er Li started a.n.a.lyzing the information of Base 013. He pondered for a moment and made a decision. "If that is the case, it will be better if we blocked them ourselves."
Ni Duola's eyes lit up. "What do you mean?"
"The 600 mecha operators from Hela are enough to subdue the ace mecha masters in Base 013 based on their past performance. As for the reinforcements, we can stop them with 300 mecha operators, and I will split them into three groups. Each of the group will block one group of reinforcements. However, this will mean that your mecha operators will need to subdue the lower grade mecha operators in Base 013." He'er Li started organizing the troops.
"Yes, I understand," Ni Duola replied excitedly. As long as those irritating reinforcements were not able to help Base 013 in time, he would be able to complete this mission.
He'er Li heard no further questions from Ni Duola so he started giving orders to the team leaders under him.
Soon, the Hela Ace Mecha Clan split into three groups and rushed in three different directions.
Base 012, 014, and 015 found out the intention of Hailiya's plan.
"As expected, their target is Base 013. d.a.m.n it," The commanding officer of Base 012 held a pipe in his hand and said worriedly.
"Base 013 is prepared this time. They even reminded us of the different routes our enemy could take. They are not as pa.s.sive as the previous times." One of his advisers seemed optimistic towards Base 013's situation.
"So what if they are prepared? Base 013 only has a few ace mecha masters. Will they be able to resist a full-scale attack from Hailiya?" The commanding officer of Base 012 was not confident about the strength of the mecha operators in Base 013.
"250 Ace Mecha Clan from the 23rd division went there, right?" The adviser reminded his commanding officer. Base 013 had more mecha operators now.
"Du Mingyi said that it is just a normal ace mecha clan with a ragtag bunch of mecha operators, right? How powerful can they be?" The commanding officer of Base 012 scoffed. "Although I don't like Du Mingyi, he is not someone who will puff himself up at one's own cost. He is willing to speak the truth. This is why our base can send in reinforcements on time."
He took a puff of the pipe in his hand and went into deep thought. After a few seconds, he put his pipe and knocked on his office table with his knuckles. He said, "Let Violent Wind send three teams, with a total of 600 mecha operators, to reinforce Base 013."
"I understand." The adviser turned serious.
The commanding officer of Base 012 stood up and paced around his room. He still felt worried so he added, "Send in an additional normal mecha clan to help them. We must break the blockage by our opponent."
"Yes, commanding officer!" The adviser immediately sent his men to carry out the orders.
This scene happened at Base 014 and 015 too. Both the commanding officers of the two bases sent around 60 mecha operators to reinforce Base 013. They wanted to send more people but they still needed to make sure that they were able to defend their base too when their opponents attacked them. If they sent their ultimate weapon out as reinforcements, they would be in danger. They had to keep this in mind.
This is the battlefield. No one dared to take any risk here. They had no choice but to always think for themselves first. This was the safest way to survive the war most of the time.
At the command center of Base 013, Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng were a.n.a.lyzing the information they had.
They were the only ones in the command center. But, the command center still appeared extremely busy.
All the printers were working furiously. Countless papers of information were being printed out at lightning speed. On the paper, there were many red and green dots. The red dots represented the Hailiya army and the green dots represented the Federation's army. The position of the dots kept moving with each paper being printed out. The green and red dots were slowly converging towards in the middle. A huge battle was going to happen soon.
The most conspicuous thing in the room was the wall on the east side. It was actually a widescreen television with the live broadcasts of the battlefield being shown on it. Mechas from the Federation could be seen in the images shown.
In the virtual world, Little Four was extremely busy. He was getting dizzy from all the work he had to do. He had to control all the facilities in the command center as well as supervising the Hailiya army.
(Little Four gave an arrogant expression. If it wasn't for me, would Boss be so free? What can the weak Li Lanfeng do with me around?)
Little White jumped around at the side while puffing out its chest as well. It was a pet but it was still a living thing. He shouldn't disregard it!
