    Chapter 63 Rethymnon

    Sitia, one of the few natural oases on the planet Orit, is also the only motorized passage from Auschwitz to Lodz.  A mecha security company from Strong's 3rd Division was stationed here. The soldiers on guard looked blankly at the cracked road surface pressed by heavy armor.  Just a few hours ago, a panic-looking armored force passed by here in panic. The hurried armored soldiers told them the latest news on the front line. Strong's proud Guards had been completely wiped out.  .  The soldiers of the guard company were dubious about this news. A few days ago, they were chasing the Charno people like rabbits. Has everything changed in the blink of an eye?  But then several other frontline troops who were ordered to evacuate confirmed this unbelievable news!  This made all the soldiers extremely frustrated. The sudden reversal of the battle situation made the soldiers of the guard company who were ordered to monitor the movements of Charno's army somewhat at a loss. The roar of a large number of mecha movements faintly coming from the distance made them even more frightened. Charno  The counterattack began.

    On the flat Gobi Desert, three mecha battalions were running side by side, like three sharp swords heading towards Sitia.  Time is life, and any pretense to cover up the raid is redundant at this moment. All the mecha regiment has to do is attack, attack, keep attacking, penetrate Strong's defense line in one fell swoop, and attack Strong before the people can react.  The command center of Poirots.

    The attack on Sitia went surprisingly smoothly. The Strong mecha company in charge of the defense evacuated hastily after hearing the roar of the mechas. Except for the slight trouble caused by the landmines all over the ground, the mechas  Regiment A didn't even fire a single shot.  The blow to enemy morale caused by the destruction of the Praetorian Guards was gradually showing its effects.  Without any hesitation, the mecha group rushed towards the next target, Rethymnon.

    The excited roars of the soldiers in the tactical channel did not relax Yi Lexiang's tense nerves.  Strong will react quickly after getting the news, and the next battle may be extremely cruel.

    Ringel is a man with a very military demeanor. At only sixty years old, he has dedicated his life to the army.  As the commander of the 10th Mechanical Division, he took the initiative to ask the headquarters to defend Rethymnon. He wanted to personally go to the frontline battlefield to see the Charno force that annihilated the Guards. He firmly believed that if Charno launched an attack, that would  A mysterious special mecha unit must be the main force of the attack.  Just now, he personally shot the commander of the mecha company who retreated without a fight. They didn't even see the opponent's unit number when they retreated. Strong didn't need such soldiers.  The command room was silent. Lingle leaned over and continued to check the tactical map as if nothing had happened. In his eyes that no one could see, there was a trace of deep worry. The destruction of the Imperial Guard had a far greater impact on the morale of ordinary soldiers.  his estimate.

    The tactical map marked a defense system consisting of 25 large bunker groups, which made Lingle's anxious mood slightly better.  This veteran, known for his defense, did his best to mobilize three engineering regiments in one day, used large machinery and equipment, and built 25 large concrete bunkers, in which an anti-armor regiment and two infantry battalions were stationed.  The bunker is surrounded by mines, metal spikes and trenches.  The bunkers are connected by a maze of communication trenches and underground passages. After one bunker is captured, the soldiers inside can quickly move to another bunker to continue fighting.  Behind the bunker are rotating turrets and artillery positions.  After realizing that the Charno people had a brave and capable special mecha unit, Lingle did not dare to be careless in the slightest.  Now he was looking forward to the sight of the Charnos, who lacked heavy offensive weapons, smashing their heads and bleeding in front of the fortifications.

    Ten kilometers away from Rehimur, the mecha regiment stopped advancing.  The fortifications that suddenly appeared in front of them did not appear on the tactical map. Apparently, the defenders of Rethymnon did not inform Strong's command of this news.  There are now nine hours until the final evacuation, and time is running out.  Yi Lexiang hesitated. Mechas were used more for field battles rather than frontal attacks on such defenses.  Without heavy fire support, the soldiers could only conquer these bunkers that were armed to the teeth one by one, and the casualties would inevitably be huge.  Even for the most elite mecha regiment soldiers, this is not an easy task; and this is the only way to Rhodes and cannot be bypassed.  Perhaps feeling Yi Lexiang's hesitation, the three battalion commanders stood firmly in line. The mecha company composed of 120 mecha war gods was the steel knife of the entire army. As a force for the assault on Strong's headquarters, it was unnecessary  Spending money on defense is not a wise decision. The main attacker must be an ordinary mecha warrior.

    Whenever there is a war, there will be casualties. Whether the mecha regiment can complete its mission is related to the life and death of millions of civilians. There can be no hesitation at this time.

    "The first battalion is responsible for the main attack, and the second and third battalions are responsible for fire cover." After simply sorting out his thoughts, Yi Lexiang decisively ordered.

    Ringel¡¯s eyes were fixed on the earth shrouded in black night, and the roar of mechas that briefly stopped in the distance indicated thatThe incoming Charno people have discovered the bunker group, and they have no choice but to attack by force.

    The first mecha battalion launched a fierce attack on Strong's position, with shoulder-mounted energy cannons and missiles raining down on the bunkers.  However, the reinforced concrete Strong Fortress cannot be blown up so easily. The strong light emitted by the suspended flares illuminates the forward position like daylight. More than 100 mechas formed an assault formation to cover several installed machines.  The "King Kong" mechas of the deminers struggled to move forward despite the intensive artillery fire of the Strong people. The eight "King Kong II" defense mechas in the first row held huge composite armor shields to resist the frontal artillery fire.  The blue energy shield emitted by the linked energy shield in the front square is connected together, covering the "Tiger" combat mech behind it.  As the mecha group quickly approached, the Strong artillery located behind the bunker group roared and fired high-explosive bombs weighing about 500 kilograms. Two-meter-deep craters were blasted on the hard sedimentary rock ground.  The energy shield above the mecha group was quickly weakened by the explosion. A high-explosive bomb passed through the severely weakened energy shield and fell into the mecha group. Broken mechanical arms and metal fragments were scattered everywhere.  Yi Lexiang, who was standing at the back, clenched his fists tightly. The mines surrounding the bunker restricted the mecha's mobility. Now he could only wait for the "King Kong" mecha to clear the mine array in front.

    There was a loud "buzzing" sound in the air, and Strong's fighter plane rushed to the battlefield, but the timing was a little late. The "King Kong" eliminated the mine array blocking it and finally broke through the most difficult line of defense.  The mechas swarmed in along the opened gap.  Yi Lexiang, who had been paying close attention to the direction of the battle, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had not been able to break through the obstacles of the mines in time, the group of mechas packed into a dense formation would have been bombarded by aerial fighters.  At this moment, the Strong bombers could only hover helplessly in the air. The heavy aerial bombs hanging under the fuselage were not suitable for throwing into the already intertwined battlefield between the two sides below.

    Strong¡¯s soldiers all retreated into the bunker, facing the jumping and dodging mechas. There was not much difference between being exposed in the traffic trench and facing death.  The bunkers were built after rigorous scientific calculations. Each bunker is under the cover of the firepower of the other two bunkers. Penetrating cannons specially used to block mecha attacks erupt with flames from time to time. Mechas rushing into the defense system are constantly attacking.  They were under fire from all directions at all times.

    A Charno mecha crawled and sneaked to the traffic trench. Using the smoke generated by the explosion, it suddenly jumped up and reached the entrance of the bunker protruding from the front. The huge mecha body was immediately exposed to the sight of the bunker behind it.  , several arm-thick red laser beams hit the mecha cockpit almost simultaneously.  First Battalion Commander Ye Jun closed his eyes in pain. This was the fourth mecha that had fallen.  The bunker with death flames spraying everywhere is very strong. It is difficult for the Charno Mecha Regiment without heavy penetration bombs to destroy it from the outside. They can only approach the iron armored door of the bunker, but this is also the place where the enemy is most heavily defended.

    Through the remote monitoring system, Yi Lexiang witnessed the first battalion's attack being blocked. He immediately ordered the second battalion to provide immediate support. At the same time, he ordered the third battalion to go around to Strong's undefended area. Due to the steep terrain here, bunker defenses could not be built.  It became a fire blind spot at this moment.  Although the steep cliff is inaccessible to ordinary people, it is not very difficult for mechas.  Soon the third battalion reached the top of the bunker through this small defensive loophole. Several impatient soldiers jumped to the iron armored door of the bunker, but were immediately knocked down by intensive artillery fire.  The third battalion commander immediately stopped this blind approach. Under his command, the soldiers aimed at the firing point and fired several missiles in succession, but none of them caused much damage to the soldiers hiding behind the metal armor.  The reinforced Second Battalion, like the First Battalion, was completely suppressed by the Strong's firepower at a distance of 400 meters from the bunker group.  The battle situation fell into a stalemate.

    The third battalion commander stomped the ground hard, and several loose rocks rolled down the steep cliff.  The rolling rock immediately attracted the attention of the third battalion commander. He had an idea, put the depleted uranium gun in his hand, picked up a two-meter-high rock, and smashed it hard towards the shooting port that was still spraying flames.  The soldiers looked at the actions of the third battalion commander in surprise. Even surface-to-surface missiles could not destroy the bunker. What effect could only a few stones do?

    "Batalion Commander, are you confused?" the guard of the third battalion commander said in amusement.

    "You idiot, why are you looking for big rocks to throw at me? Remember, aim at the firepower point." The third battalion commander's furious roar came from the tactical channel.  This bunch of cowards don't even use their brains when fighting.  Blocking the enemy's shooting port with rocks is not the same. Could it be that the Strong people still dared to come out and move the rocks.

    Pang Hai, who had been sitting in front of the remote monitoring system, couldn't help but praise the third battalion commander again and again when he saw what he did.  When it comes to fighting, fighting one after another may not solve the problem. Sometimes you have to use your brain.  Stones of various sizes fell from the sky quickly, blocking the firepower of several bunkers.  The suppressed first and second battalions took this opportunity and rushed forward  The firepower of the bunker group was linked one by one, and the broken firepower at this moment caused the entire bunker group fortifications to collapse.  The mecha used the energy cannon in its hand to blast open the remaining bunkers one after another, and then the huge flamethrower swept along the blasted iron armor door.  The desperate Strong people just let out a few screams, and were turned into piles of ashes by the high temperature. The air was filled with the stench of burned human bodies.

    In Rethymnon¡¯s simple headquarters, the staff were busy packing documents. The originally smooth battle situation suddenly collapsed, catching everyone off guard.  Lingle sat blankly on the high-backed chair, his heart filled with bitterness.  Unexpectedly, his carefully constructed defense system was defeated by a few stones. A regiment and two battalions of nearly 6,000 people were perished in his own hands.  When Lingle ordered the construction of the defense line, he did not leave any evacuation channels for the soldiers. On the one hand, he wanted to prevent another escape from the battle. On the other hand, he had strong confidence in his own defense. But now the indestructible fortress has been  Turned into burning cans.

    The screams that kept coming from the communication channel made Ringel despair. The guard reminded him softly: "Commander, we should evacuate. The Charno people will rush up soon."

    Lingle took out the high-ranking officer's pistol inlaid with silver decorations from his waist and carefully placed it on the table, "You go, six thousand imperial soldiers died in the fire because of my one thought, I still have the dignity to go back.  " Seeing that the guard's trembling lips seemed to want to persuade him, Linger waved his hand to stop him.

    "I have made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I want to wait here to meet the commander of this mysterious army." After finishing speaking, Lingle sneered at himself a few times and closed his mouth slowly.  Close your eyes and stop talking.

    The helpless guard officer silently gave a solemn military salute to the teacher, "Sir, take care of yourself!" Lin Geer closed his eyes and nodded slightly. The guard officer turned around and led several guards to leave the command post in a hurry.

    After a while, the soldiers of the mecha regiment surrounded the command post. The heavy mecha footsteps shook the house slightly. Facing the menacing mecha warriors, Lingle asked to see their commander.  Unfortunately, his wish did not come true. Yi Lexiang had already led the special mecha company and the third mecha battalion in a hurry through Resim.  Rethymnon's unexpected deployment made him a little worried. If Chania also had a strong defense line of the Strong people, the possibility of realizing the entire raid plan would be greatly reduced.  Yi Lexiang made a decisive decision and immediately modified the attack route. After cleaning the battlefield, the second and third battalions continued to attack in the direction of Chania. However, the third battalion and the special mecha company led by Yi Lexiang with full combat power bypassed the frontal attack.  In the Niagara region, the right wing circled back to Lodz through a 700-kilometer desert, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

    The disappointed Ringel ended his life with a silver bullet, and the battle of Rethymnon came to an end.  In this brutal battle, the mecha regiment lost 160 people and injured 327 people, which was the largest casualty since landing on Orite.
