The First Pest > Chapter 077 The Armored Troop That Never Goes Back
(0077)
However, the wishes of the sand thieves were clearly unrealistic. They came easily, but it was difficult to leave. Zhao Zhili and Sun Shiye, who had already become addicted to killing, would not let the sand thieves go so easily. They naturally pursued them relentlessly.
Xia Xingxiao followed behind, continuing to use his severe cold true energy and despicable wind finger, continuing to trap the sand thieves in a painful quagmire until they were all annihilated. In the end, more than half of the sand thieves had their eyes blinded by him. No choice, who made his wind finger so abnormal?
"Knock knock knock!"
"Knock knock knock"
Suddenly, Xia Xingxiao "heard" a fierce energy cannon sound.
In fact, there is almost no air in the void, and sound can hardly propagate. However, cultivators are extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations. Even if it's a very distant energy fluctuation, they can still sense it keenly. This perception is just like the hearing of the ears. Even with numerous obstacles in between, it's possible to "hear" it.
In fact, if the cultivator's power is strong enough, they don't need to see it with their own eyes. They can judge what happened just by sensing the energy fluctuations from a distance. Of course, this requires sufficient combat experience and rich knowledge. If it were someone like Xia Xingxiao, he would definitely be unable to distinguish it.
"What's that sound?" Xia Xingxiao asked curiously.
"It seems like the firepower of a mecha." Li Yuzhi's experience was still quite rich.
Li Yuzi's only weakness is that his own true energy is insufficient. He only has one dantian, and the number of meridians is also insufficient. In intense battles, his true energy is often consumed very early on. If it weren't for Xia Xingxiao's help, he wouldn't know how many times he would have died in battle.
However, with the relaxation of Ren and Du meridians, all this is expected to change. As long as Ren and Du meridians are opened up, more meridians will be expanded. At that time, he can open up a second Dantian, increasing his own true energy reserves.
Sun Shiwei nodded, took a long deep breath and said in a low voice: "It's the cannon fire of the Tyrant Dragon mech. It should be the 114th Armored Assault Regiment that has been deployed. Those bastards always come so late, damn it!"
Although the 114th Division's late arrival is a cause for complaint, the reinforcements have finally arrived. This means that the bandits' offensive should be coming to an end, unless they bring in more troops. Otherwise, the 114th Division has enough strength to sweep them away.
Armored Strike Corps, as the name suggests, is a purely mechanized force. The 114th Division has no infantry, only a large number of mechs and a large number of warships and fighter jets. According to the Federal Army's regulations, a fully manned Armored Strike Corps is equipped with exactly 10,000 mechs of various types. Clearly, this is an extremely powerful striking force.
Of course, the 114th Division was definitely not full. The entire 41st Corps was not full, and the 114th Division would not be an exception. Their personnel were not fully equipped, and various armored vehicles and fighter jets were also not fully equipped. In fact, there were only about three thousand truly combat-effective tanks, and the number of fighter jets should be roughly the same.
However, the 114th Armored Assault Division had a strong advantage, that is, their affiliated fleet. If the 112nd Division was the main force of the 41st Legion, then the 114th Division could be called the fist unit of the 41st Legion. The main mechanical forces of the 11th Legion were mostly assigned to the 114th Division. In essence, this division was equivalent to half a legion.
The fleet attached to the 112th Division was mainly composed of eight cruisers, while the main force of the fleet attached to the 114th Division was eight larger battlecruisers. Obviously, the firepower of the battlecruiser was much greater than that of the cruiser, and its comprehensive combat capability was also much stronger. Their arrival would definitely make the Sand Thief Army in the outer universe be at a loss.
As expected, the arrival of the 114th Armored Assault Division caused the Sand Bandits' offensive to lose momentum. They had no choice but to temporarily halt their landing operations on the surface of Aylee Star. The total strength of the Sand Bandit army that attacked Aylee Star was roughly two divisions. Now, with the arrival of two divisions of reinforcements from the human military, they were naturally somewhat outmatched.
In a corner of the planet Aye Star that Xiaoxiao and others couldn't see, a large number of mechs from the Federal Army landed on its surface. They engaged in fierce battles with the Sand Bandits who also landed on the surface of Aye Star. The entire surface of Aye Star was almost a sea of fire, with energy bullets of various sizes splashing everywhere. Rocks were constantly shattered by various energy cannons, hills were flattened, and gullies were filled up one after another.
If you feel it carefully, you can clearly feel that the fluctuations of various energies around the Myanmar military base are continuous. This energy fluctuation extends to thousands of miles away, as if there is no end at all. This fully explains that the battle between the federal army and the sand thieves has always been a stalemate.
"Let's go! Let's take a look!" Li Yuzi waved his hand.
After cleaning up the remaining Sand Thieves, Xia Xingxiao and others also ran to the surface of Aiyue Star. For them, what they were most interested in was the Mechanized Corps. Because in most battles, the Mechanized Corps and cultivators fought together.
At lower levels of cultivation, mecha troops can provide powerful combat capabilities. Currently, the Federation has a total of four types of mechas. The lowest level is the tenth-generation mecha, with comprehensive combat power equivalent to that of a tenth-level cultivator, which is Zhao Zhi Lei's level. The highest level is the thirteenth-generation mecha, equivalent to a thirteenth-level cultivator, which is Zhang Feng's major level.
In fact, with the mecha manufacturing technology of the Starlight Federation, it is entirely possible to develop even more powerful mechas. They simply haven't been deployed in the troops yet. The 14th generation mecha of the Federation Army has actually had all aspects of its manufacturing conditions mature for over a decade now. The reason they haven't been deployed in the troops is purely due to the need for military balance.
The 14th generation of mech requires a large number of practitioners, and the more advanced the mech is, the higher the level of practitioner required. To operate the 14th generation mech, the operator's own cultivation level must be at least 9th level, which is the rank of lieutenant colonel. If it is lower than this level, the operator cannot withstand the various side effects brought by the mech.
From a fundamental standpoint, the pilots of mobile suits are all practitioners. They are lower-level practitioners. Inevitably, the higher the level of mobile suit equipment, the greater the proportion of practitioners in the entire federal army. This is apparently not what some people want to see. Therefore, higher-level mobile suits have been temporarily shelved.
Xing Xiao looked up at the starry sky and found that in the void near the Myanmar military base, there were about 30 to 40 mechs lined up in a row, continuously firing cannons at the sand thieves. The sand thieves were constantly being annihilated under the mechs' cannon fire. However, even more sand thieves kept coming over. Some of the mechs also shattered and became mangled under the sand thieves' sharp claws.
It's clear that these mechs and the mech troops rushing to support from the White Crane Star are of different types. Their appearance seems somewhat outdated, with some places even showing signs of rust. The movements are not as agile, clumsy and cumbersome. More importantly, the firepower of the mechs is far less fierce and accurate than those of the 114th Division's mechs.
Li Yuzhi said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "The sand thieves have retreated, they should also come out and watch the excitement."
The so-called 554 Mechanized Brigade is actually also stationed on the surface of Ayleaf Star, and the distance from the ground to the Mullen Military Base is less than 10,000 kilometers. However, they do not have any affiliation with the Mullen Military Base. They have their own independent military base. Their military base is called Kubba. For some unknown reason, the relationship between Kubba Military Base and Mullen Military Base has never been good, almost to the point of having no contact at all.
This bad relationship obviously affected the joint combat of both parties. Originally, when the Sand Bandit army came to attack, the Kubo military base should have dispatched its mechanized troops to assist in the battle at the first time. However, they didn't. You see, the Sand Bandit army had been attacking the Minaluo military base for several hours, and the mechanized troops from the nearby base still hadn't moved.
They pretended to have seen and heard nothing. Now, the Sand Bandits' army is about to retreat, and the Mechanized Corps has finally arrived late. This can't help but make people question whether they are borrowing a knife to kill someone, watching the Mian Luo military base be destroyed. It's no wonder that even a soldier like Li Yuzi couldn't help but speak sarcastically about the other side.
Compared to the outdated mechs of the 554th Mechanized Brigade, the mech forces of the 114th Division were far more advanced. Most of them were eleventh-generation mechs, and some were even twelfth-generation mechs. In terms of mobility, agility, attack power, and defensive capabilities, they had undergone significant improvements. The Sand Vipers suffered even greater losses in front of them.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Along with the 114th Division's desert thieves, the war cruisers also continuously used their 600cm main guns to bombard the desert thief army. Energy shells were constantly fired over, exploding around the desert thief army and emitting waves of energy fluctuations that made people's hearts palpitate. A large number of desert thieves and sand vultures were annihilated under the impact of the energy shells.
However, the counterattack of the Sand Bandit army was still very fierce. They would not retreat easily. This is also a major characteristic of the Sand Bandit army, they will not shed tears until they see the coffin. Unless they are really beaten to almost complete defeat, they will have no choice but to withdraw reluctantly. At present, the combat effectiveness of the Sand Bandit army is still relatively strong, and they will certainly not retreat easily.
The Sand Thief army did not retreat immediately, but instead launched a fierce attack on A Ye Xing. A large number of sand eagles swooped down, covering the vast starry sky. The focus of the sand eagle's attack was the 554th Mechanized Division. In front of thousands of sand eagles, the dozens of mechs of the 554th Mechanized Regiment looked so weak and helpless.
