Tian Xingjian lay motionless in the crater, the dirt on his body blending him into the surrounding environment.
In this original artillery base far away from the battlefield, there was no living creature except him.
Not even a mouse.
In fact, there was no such animal as mouse on Milok Star.
This small hill had a dense jungle, and the federal artillery company that was originally hidden in the jungle had been reduced to ashes in the artillery fire a few days ago. There were
all kinds of debris scattered around Tian Xingjian. There were metals and flesh and blood. The detonation of the ammunition destroyed the jungle hundreds of meters around, and the fire burned for two days before it was extinguished.
Tian Xingjian was a little sleepy, his eyelids drooped again and again, and he patted his face gently, and he forced himself to look at the battlefield.
This was the 21st battle of Tian Xingjian, a corporal of the Federal Air Marine Corps.
From the Galileo Galaxy to the Newton Galaxy, the retreating federal army lost 22 resource planets and five human immigration planets. Milok is one of the two human immigration planets in the Newton Galaxy. The other human immigration planet Milok 2 was completely occupied by the Empire two months ago.
If this planet is occupied by the Empire again, the Federation Army will have to hand over the Newton Galaxy, which has more than 30 resource planets.
These are not what Tian Xingjian cares about. What he cares about is how to survive in the war.
The philosophy of saving life is the law of nature that he follows.
Therefore, after experiencing 21 battles, Tian Xingjian, a corporal of the first squadron of the logistics squadron of the third armored battalion of the fifth armored division of the Air Marine Corps, is still a corporal.
Comrades who experienced the first 18 battles like him have basically been promoted. However, after fighting on three planets from the Galileo Galaxy to the Newton Galaxy, the only one who can still survive here is this mechanic who has not been promoted. The Fifth Armored Division of the United States Air Marine Corps was erased, 95% of the division died in battle, and the remaining 5% were left on Milok 2, and they were in danger.
Tian Xingjian almost escaped death, but luckily he boarded the retreating warship and was incorporated into the remnants of the 9th Armored Division. He retreated to the planet Milok.
Tian Xingjian secretly moved behind a tree that was blown down by a shell, and urinated while lying on his side. This was a technical job, but he was very skilled in it. As long as he lay higher, the urine would not flow back and wet himself. The long battles made Tian Xingjian at least learn not to wet his pants when scared on the battlefield.
After a shudder, Tian Xingjian felt a little more awake. He leaned sideways and spit, secretly cursing his bad luck. Originally, the 9th Armored Division had been ordered to retreat to the Darwin system for rest and recuperation due to a 40% reduction in personnel. However, since the Imperial Army had landed on Milok within a week, the command had no choice but to order all troops near Milok to concentrate on resistance, delay the Imperial Army, and realize the assembly of rear reinforcements.
Although this hiding place was carefully selected by him and far away from the center of the battlefield, it was not reliable for Tian Xingjian who was only concerned about saving his life.
From where he was, the battle in the distance was still in full swing. At nine o'clock, twelve o'clock and three o'clock on the battlefield, there were nearly a hundred two-meter-high anti-joint single-soldier mechanical combat armor "Saint Armor 22" of the Imperial Army.
This standard armor of the Imperial Army jumped around as flexibly as an ostrich, and the missile launchers on both sides, like wings, issued a piercing scream from time to time, launching laser-guided missiles one by one.
Compressed at the six o'clock direction of the battlefield were more than ten three-meter-high multi-legged five-man combat armored vehicles "Honor 15" of the Galaxy Federation. This bulky armor had a jaw-dropping defensive power. Under the control of the central computer, dozens of short legs could also effectively perform various difficult evasive actions. Although the firepower was suppressed by the Imperial [***] due to the number of reasons, in a short period of time, the jumping Imperial single-soldier armored group could not do anything to the Federation armored vehicles that were united in a defensive formation.
The two sides fought fiercely. The tail smoke of the missiles crisscrossed and filled the entire battlefield. The sound of energy machine guns rang out. This place, which was completely fought by a small number of mechas, was the northwest defense zone salient of New Rome, the largest industrialized city on Milok Star. It was guarded by a Federation army composed of a reinforced medium armored squadron and an artillery company. The mission was to protect the logistics channel in the rear.
There were no fortifications and trenches to block the infantry. This was just a forward position. The Federation's real first line of defense was still in the jungle more than ten kilometers away.
Behind the first line of defense is a steel bridge that spans the Supengman River, the largest river on Milok Star - the Sujiang Bridge. On the other side of the bridge is the second line of defense hastily built by the Federation Army, which is also the last line of defense of New Rome. If this line of defense is breached, the Federation Army will be forced to switch to street fighting.
And on this battlefield, the only soldier without mechas is the mechanical repair soldier Tian Xingjian. He was the only soldier sent to this forward position a few days ago to perform the task of repairing mechas.
Since the start of this battle, he has been watching alone for two days. There are no trenches, no fortifications, and no infantry to share the hardships. When he thought of this, the unlucky Tian Xingjian felt very depressed: "Bah, this life is unbearable!" At this time, he heard the order to retreat from his headset. The
central defense line thirty-seven kilometers away had been partially breached by the Imperial Army, and a large number of Imperial armored forces were pouring in from the breach. One of the Imperial armored squads, consisting of two heavy land combat armors and eight medium armors, was encircling the rear. If we can't leave the battle when this Imperial armored squad arrives at the battlefield, then everyone should prepare to see God together.
In the hilly area, the land combat mecha can reach a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. If there is a road, this speed can be doubled. Even if the dense jungle and several small rivers along the way can slightly slow down the enemy's advance speed, they can reach the battlefield within 20 minutes.
Finally, he was able to wait for the order to leave the battle area, and Tian Xingjian was so happy that he almost jumped up. However, when he thought that there might be an Imperial armored squad with two heavy land combat mechas chasing and intercepting on the way of retreat, he felt a little bitter.
After opening the combat recorder on his left arm and confirming the order, Tian Xingjian began his 21st escape. After checking his equipment to make sure nothing was left out, Tian Xingjian leaped out like a cheetah, with an astonishing speed. He climbed over two fallen trees and five bomb craters in succession and reached the edge of the hill. He used his hands and feet, like a frightened lizard, to cross the more than 20-meter-wide downhill slope by sticking to the grass and plunged into the depths of the jungle.
At the same time, the federal mecha squadron that received the retreat order began to shrink its formation backwards. Perhaps the Empire [***] also received the same news, and the battle became more and more intense.
The sky was filled with endless gunpowder smoke, and violent explosions sent dirt and dust high into the sky. The Honor 15 of the Federal Army took turns to cover each other's retreat, and a squadron of the Empire's individual armored vehicles had begun to detour to the rear of the Federal Army's position. It seemed that they were going to eat up the last twelve medium-sized mechas of the Federal Army in one bite.
The circuitous route of the Imperial Armored Corps was the hill where Tian Xingjian had previously hidden. The federal army also discovered the Imperial Armored Corps' intentions. Although the hill was not high, it was in a commanding position. If the Imperial Armored Corps occupied it, it would be like driving a nail into the path of the federal armored squad's retreat. Soon, two Honor 15s that were forcibly separated from the battle by their companions rushed towards the hill. They had to occupy the hill before the thirty Imperial Armored Corps' individual mechas, the Holy Armor 22s, and guard the passage for their retreating companions.
Tian Xingjian was now like a panicked dog, running quickly in the jungle.
"Well, this is a strange coward. He looks very honest, but he is definitely a wretched bitch." This is the evaluation of all those who know Tian Xingjian.
Tian Xingjian's surname is indeed very cheap.
Tian Xingjian, who looks ordinary and a little fat, likes to hang around girls when he is in school. He always says that his ancestor's name is Bo Guang, but unfortunately no one pays attention to him. He still enjoys it.
This person is very patient in doing things and can always find a new way to deal with some problems. From the reason why Tian Xingjian came to the army to serve, it can be seen that this person's brain is indeed not something that ordinary people can understand.
The only reason he joined the army was to lose weight.
For Tian Xingjian, there are actually many reasons. First, he feels that he is very lazy, and he is really lazy to the point of being unreasonable. So, he decided to start a new life. Secondly, he feels that he is very fat. Since leaving school, he has gained more than 20 kilograms. If he gains 20 kilograms a year, then ten years later... Tian Xingjian feels that he can't imagine it. Third, he is really not a person who has perseverance and can endure hardships. If no one supervises him, the weight loss plan is estimated to not last a day.
So, seeing the world at peace, Tian Xingjian resolutely joined the army. During the physical examination, the beautiful female military doctor found that this fat man had physical strength that was not commensurate with his body. He ran very fast, was very agile, and had surprisingly good endurance. Tian Xingjian said proudly: "Beauty, my family has a set of Qinggong - Wanli Duxing, a quick knife in one hand, and 365 moves in the bedroom." The female military doctor nodded, and with a big stroke, threw this descendant of Tian Boguang into the special training team. "Tian Boguang, right? If you tease me, you must be prepared to endure hardships."
Tian Xingjian is certainly not a descendant of Tian Boguang, he just admires the silver thief. But in terms of talent, his speed and endurance are indeed outstanding.
After entering the special training team, Tian Xingjian realized the consequences of being mean, which is really serious. The special training team is a special talent training camp for the Lele Federal Army. All recruits with special abilities will be stuffed into this training camp, undergo intensive training, and then be assigned to places where they can display their expertise.
Some people have strong computing ability. As long as they pass the training in the training camp and are not eliminated, they can enter the combat planning department or the logistics management department to exert their extraordinary computing ability. Computers can't calculate everything. But these people can calculate things that computers can't. There are also people with sharp noses, sharp ears, keen sixth sense, strong bodies, strong strength, dexterous hands, or outstanding grades in a certain subject in school. Such people can usually be assigned to a department suitable for their expertise after the special training.
Tian Xingjian was assigned to the scout training squadron for training.
The current level of technology can monitor almost all designated targets. Please note that this refers to designated targets. If there is no designation, or if you don't know where the target is at all, there is still no way to monitor it. These tasks can only be done by scouts. Especially in ground combat, scouts play a very important role. Although high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft or spy satellites and outer space reconnaissance ships are powerful enough, there are times when they can't distinguish the true from the false. Today's electronic technology can create many illusions to deceive radars and cameras in the sky. All you need is a jammer. In addition, the air is the most important battlefield for military strategists. If we lose the air advantage and there are no scouts, then there is no way to fight.
Scouts?
This would cost Tian Xingjian his life. How could Tian Xingjian do such a life-threatening job? He would not do it even if he could!
For Tian Xingjian, life is the most precious thing. He would not put himself in danger for any reason. Greed, lust, cowardice, and fear of death are common problems of Tian Xingjian's generation. It's just that Tian Xingjian is more straightforward and worse than ordinary people. Round after round of ideological work did not make Tian Xingjian give up his idea. He looked like a turtle eating a weight on a scale and was determined not to gather at the scout training squadron.
But things were not something Tian Xingjian could control. After entering the army, can a recruit have the final say? The scout instructor beat Tian Xingjian up and completely eliminated his determination to die rather than obey.
Before beating him, the instructor asked, "Why don't you want to be a scout?"
"Scouting is too dangerous. I'm afraid of death."
"Very good, either you become a scout and then die, or I will beat you to death now."
"Are you going?"
"Go!"
A man of insight is a
hero "Bah, bitch. You won't go when you are coaxed, so you have to be beaten." The instructor, who was extremely strong, said before leaving.
Tian Xingjian crawled on the ground and tried hard to make himself happy. He thought, "Damn, it's peacetime. It's just a reconnaissance training camp, not a reconnaissance company to fight. What's there to be afraid of?"
"When I finish learning the reconnaissance skills, instructor? I can beat ten with one hand!"
A typical spiritual victory.
So he happily got up from the ground and followed the instructor to report.
Tian Xingjian entered the reconnaissance training camp like this. His training was very hard. The bear-like instructor followed him every day, and beat him up if he was lazy.
Tian Xingjian himself did have some talent for reconnaissance training subjects. In addition, he essentially has a bit of Tian Boguang's bachelor temperament. Therefore, after a year of training, his training results are very good. Even the instructors can't compare with him in terms of survival in the wild, camouflage, lurking, long-distance marches, etc. When his hand-to-hand combat reached a very high level, Instructor Bear began to follow him every day with a knife. Tian Xingjian thought painfully for a long time, and finally didn't dare to fight desperately.
Just when Tian Xingjian was about to graduate from the training camp, he cunningly found a way to avoid being assigned to the reconnaissance company. In addition to training, Tian Xingjian ran to the mechanical maintenance camp whenever he had nothing to do.
"As long as you complete the training, you can do whatever you want. As long as you don't make trouble, you can do whatever you want." This is the original words of the scout instructor. In the eyes of the instructor, there are really few people who can have the energy to do other things after the scouts' daily overload training.
Those who can be selected into the mechanical maintenance camp have a pair of skillful hands. They are not ordinary repairmen. What they learn is much more advanced than ordinary repairmen, whether it is aircraft carriers, fighter planes, or land combat mechas, electronic equipment. There is nothing they can't fix.
