This is a season of strong autumn. The dense and even crowded virgin forest is full of golden colors. The squirrels walking through the branches quickly, snorting the heat and busy with the pine towers, in order to prepare for the last and most abundant dinner. The edge of the forest is covered with snow, and from here, looking north, the majestic snow-capped mountains and the pale blue glaciers in the distance of Taniguchi are clearly visible.
The temporary camp of the new seventeenth division headquarters is in the circular base at the edge of the forest. The base, which the Imperials have run for decades, was devastated by the Union army's counteroffensive, but there are still many building blocks that are well preserved.
In a room on the third floor of the base, more than a dozen federal officers stared at the communication station that had suddenly lost all voices, their faces stiffened, and then turned their heads collectively to look at the commander who was staring at the wide electronic map in a daze.
They know very well that no one can control the young technical director of the deputy division level, but this is the federal army after all, and Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le actually cut off the communication of the military department. The officers guessed what the mecha test team in the far north was going to do at this time, so their expressions became more and more serious, and they wanted to know how the division commander would react.
The commander of the New Seventeenth Division, Major General Yu Chenghai, a well-known good man in the federal military, was silent for a moment under the eyes of many subordinates, and then unexpectedly laughed, without laughing at himself: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le is even with the Charter Bureau. I dare to pinch the channel, so I am not surprised."
Seeing the reaction of the commander Yu, the officers of the division felt a little strange, and immediately wanted to understand. do something.
However, at this moment, Commander Yu Chenghai surprised everyone and said with a gentle smile: "Inform Commander Herre, let his regiment enter a fighting state, and prepare to move north within four hours. Staff Guys, go to space to ask for the blue dragon before the geomagnetic storm... The position of the troops of the special first army, the second group and the third group, slowly approach the northwest from the direction of Polingji, pay attention, stay away from the guys from the seventh division of the iron, if you touch Go to the Dongfangyu group, don't bother."
The officers in the room stared blankly at the division commander, unable to digest the words they heard in a short time. Is this still the one in everyone's eyes who only knows how to eat all day long, is soft-spoken to superiors and subordinates, giggles, has no courage, and is useless as a teacher
Master Yu Chenghai, who was already over fifty years old, stroked the gray hair on his head, looked at the subordinates who looked at each other, and said with a gentle smile, "What are you still doing here? Don't you really think of me as a teacher?"
Only then did the officers wake up, with a hint of excitement, three points of confusion, six points of doubts, and a collective salute, ready to start executing the commander's order, but they still seemed a little hesitant.
Deputy Chief of Staff Ning He also wondered what happened to Division Commander Yu suddenly today, so he lowered his voice beside him and reminded: "The situation has been reported to space, but there has been no response from the headquarters about the trapping of a certain unit of the Special Forces. And the geomagnetic storm and blizzard are still going on over there, the situation is unknown…”
Master Yu Chenghai waved his hand, interrupting Ning He's words, a conscious smile flashed on his slightly fat face, and looked at the subordinates in the room and said, "Actually, we all know that I will be the master of the new seventeenth division, look. It's really weird going up, you know, my most amazing job in the army is actually just cooking for the teacher."
The division commander is interested in telling jokes, and the officers who are subordinates naturally have to laugh at the occasion, but the smiles are not emotional, because the division commander is telling the truth, although the Lord of the Army is only willing to eat the rice he cooks, it seems to be some kind of Glory, but in the army, it is absolutely not a strong qualification. On the battlefield of iron and blood, a good person is synonymous with a worthless person.
In fact, there are many high-ranking generals in the federal military who look down on Chenghai. They have great opinions on his position as the commander of the new 17th division. Regarding the position of the commander of the new 17th division, I don’t know how many strong field troops there are. The commander of the army and even the chief of staff of the military region are willing to come down a few ranks to take the post, but as a result, there is a lot of contention, and finally this position falls to a chef, who can be convinced
All the middle and high-level officers of the New 17th Division are the targets of the federation's key training. It is hard to say that they are not disappointed and angry in their hearts for such a "good man" to be the division commander.
"But who says cooks can't fight wars?"
Yu Chenghai's smiling eyes narrowed, but for the first time the officers in the room felt some kind of toughness from him.
"When the teacher grew up in Xilin, in the mainland of the empire, in countless battles, he was used to making the most important decision when eating. It was an honor. At that time, I stood by his side, which means that I watched countless times. No one can compare to me in the tactical deduction process of the Federal Army God, the entire Federal Army."
A smug look suddenly appeared on Master Yu Chenghai's face, and he said, "The Federal proverb says that if you are familiar with 10,000 books, you will naturally become an excellent writer. I have read and remembered the teacher countless times. War cases, no matter how incompetent, can remember some things that commanders need to remember."
"In the later period of the Second World War, the teacher used a battle example to educate me. If there is a variable on the battlefield that is beyond the control of both the enemy and us, then all we need to do is to actively respond to this variable. change ... whether that change is good or bad."
"No one knows whether Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le can repair the command system of the special army, mother, those guys in Qinglong Mountain, but there is always such a possibility, as long as it is possible, the brigade that the imperial people put into the ambush will be held back for one more day, and We just need this time, waiting for the Haleys to move in place."
"Don't pay attention to those guys in the seventh division. Dongfangyu will definitely be scolded after the incident. Such a big piece of fat is not eaten in front of him. What kind of anger will Master Shaoqing, who has been hungry for so many days, look like?"
"Braised pork is best for dinner. There is a plate of braised pork waiting for us right now. If we have to wait for the command from the headquarters, this is certainly in line with the etiquette of guests dining, but it is also stupid."
"The Imperials don't have a reserve team. There is a magnetic storm area. With a little use of your brain, you can know what the cause of this ambush started."
"Here's regiment is the farthest from the planned war zone, but he is a student of Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le. He should know exactly what Xu Le will do and how long it will take. Therefore, the regiment must be given full autonomy, allowing it to maneuver and follow suit. superior."
"The second regiment and the third regiment are advancing side by side, following Po Lingji. The sky here is full of the eyes of the Federation and fighter planes. There is no problem with safety. It takes the shortest time to directly insert into the magnetic storm area, so they have to suppress the speed."
"Once you enter the magnetic storm zone, leave immediately, and go straight to the north along the glacier line. Everyone, don't care about the situation of the enemy and the enemy, don't care about how many imperial people there are, this must be a chaotic war."
Master Yu Chenghai pointed to the electronic map and spoke calmly, as if he was talking about how a dish should be cooked.
The seventeenth division officer listened to the commander's lecture quietly, his expression was very serious and serious, and his eyes gradually showed admiration.
Yu Chenghai smiled gently, ended his tactical arrangement, looked at his subordinates and said, "Like the seven division's chasing northward in Huangshanling last year, it will be broken into pieces when it enters the magnetic storm area. Later, the most severe military order will be It is issued to the first-level combat unit of the company. Once you find that you can't beat the Imperials, you will run away. As for where to run, you should consider yourself. Don't forget, our 17th Division is a reorganized mechanic and a fully motorized unit. Now the Ministry of Defense is blocked again. With so many mechas that make me dizzy, who can be faster than us compared to running?"
"With the additional system designed by Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le, I believe that these mechas will never fall into the pit again." Commander Yu Chenghai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "As a commander, I should not have explained these tactical arrangements to you. , but there are not many real old people in the division, I came to be the teacher, and the biggest responsibility is to pass on the fighting style of the teacher when he led the seventeenth division."
"Of course, if Admiral Miles personally came to be the division commander, he might be more competent. You must know that on the battlefield, he was the most sinister and ruthless, but His Excellency the President would not agree."
Commander Yu Chenghai opened his hands and said with a serious face: "Children, you must remember that the great and undefeated Seventeenth Division has only one fighting style."
"That is: eat all the meat that can be eaten, and feel sorry for every piece of meat on your body. For this purpose, we do not have the word shameless in our eyes."
Xu Le didn't know everything that happened in the division, and he didn't even know that the Seventeen Division brought out by the old man in Philadelphia was definitely not as upright and disciplined as the federal people thought. In fact, although he used all his spare time to He studied military command, and also led seven groups to fight some small battles, but after all, he was not an excellent commander, and he did not discuss the personal heroism that made young people’s blood boil. In the mecha, he was still He is accustomed to use his superior combat ability to solve the problems he faces.
The twin engines of the snow-white MXT mech hummed, and the micro-turbine in the T section made no sound, but silently provided more powerful power. The ultra-fine alloy thorns protruded from the mechanical feet of the mecha, like the fine hairs on the edge of the cat's paw pads, which rubbed the smooth ice surface forcefully, turning the two mechas into two white lines. Although it was difficult to be silent, it was extremely fast. forward.
The blizzard was getting bigger and bigger, and the two mechas in the synchronous mode simultaneously showed the warning sound of strong geomagnetic interference. They were not separated by the naked eye, but they were still blurred between the black clouds of wind, snow, glaciers, like two flies.
Then he crashed into the battlefield.
The two white mechas were on the glacier, looking at the crawler armored vehicles with black smoke below, and the corpses of the soldiers lying on the ground, listening to sporadic gunshots, motionless, and seemed to be looking for a way deep into the center of the battlefield.
