Chania is the last line of defense leading to Lodz.
The 2nd and 3rd Mecha Battalions finished cleaning up the battlefield of Rethymnon, settled the prisoners of war and the wounded, and moved forward in a hurry. They wanted to launch an attack before Yi Lexiang and the third battalion crossed the desert to Rhodes and completely attracted the attention of Strong's people.
At this moment, in the desert, the third mecha battalion and the special mecha regiment were marching hard. The heavy mecha soles would sink deeply into the fine grains of sand when they stepped on them, and the marching speed was greatly reduced. Strong reconnaissance planes continued to fly across the night sky, and the entire team stopped and walked.
At 3:50 in the morning, the battle in Chania started. The second and third mecha battalions launched attacks from the east and west directions at the same time, and the battle became intense as soon as it began. At this moment, most of Strong's troops have evacuated to the landing zone to wait for the interstellar transport ship. Chania is the last line of frontal defense in front of Rhodes. The garrison regiment of the 4th Armored Division, which had already received the news, resisted desperately. Fortunately, Chania did not build fortifications similar to Rethymnon. However, two mecha regiments and an aerial fighter formation soon arrived from Rhodes to join the battlefield. The strength of the Strong men offset the negative impact of low morale, and the mecha regiment's attack was blocked.
An hour into the battle, when Strong was focusing all its attention on Chania, less than 200 kilometers away from Rhodes, the Third Mecha Battalion and the Special Mecha Company led by Yi Lexiang finally broke through the desert. The obstruction appeared on Rhodes' right wing. The black outer armor of the mecha was covered with yellow sand, and the high-intensity rapid march made everyone exhausted.
The faint sound of explosions in the south shows that the battle in Chania is still fierce.
At 5:20 in the morning, the 3rd Mecha Battalion and the Mecha Special Company, which had taken a short rest, went into the battle to attack the Rhodes Strong headquarters.
Alter in the outpost looked at the water glass shaking on the table in surprise. The ground shook slightly and the mecha roar came from his ears, indicating that a mecha troop was moving nearby, which made him puzzled. The two mecha regiments originally stationed in Rhodes have been transferred to Chania. At this moment, Rhodes only has one military police brigade and one guard battalion. So where did the mechas that suddenly appeared come from? The flames burning in the sky in the distance showed that the battle in Chania was not over yet. He squinted hard and could not see anything clearly except darkness outside the post. He walked towards the high-powered electronic telescope standing by the window of the outpost in confusion, searching for the direction from which the mecha's roar came, and placed his right hand gently on the siren. Everything seemed to be the same as before, but Autor felt even more uneasy. He did not receive a notification from the headquarters that mecha reinforcements would arrive. However, since the fall of the Guards, the commander's staff have always issued some inexplicable orders. Maybe they forgot this time, Autor comforted himself softly.
Suddenly, a group of tall mechas rushed out of the darkness and appeared in the lens of the electronic telescope. Before Autor could tell the number of the mecha, the blast of air had already thrown the wooden outpost into the air. Autor pressed the alarm on his right hand at the last moment when he lost consciousness. The tragic siren resounded in the sky above Rhodes. The panicked soldiers rushed out of the barracks and rushed to their respective defensive positions. However, the steel mechas rolled in like a storm. In an instant, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the helpless soldiers were in all directions. Fall apart. The group of mechas suddenly dispersed and chased the scattered soldiers. Any resistance would be met with violent blows. A group of black mechas rushed towards the Sturt command post from all directions along the street. The clashes of the clashes and the soldiers The screams were intertwined with the deafening mecha charging horn.
Garmisch in the headquarters looked pale, and the busy staff members were stunned, as if time had stopped at this moment. Suddenly, Garmisch seemed to wake up from a dream, reaching out to grab the Mark officer's pistol inlaid with golden general stars that was placed on the table. Only now did he suddenly understand the purpose of Charnot's crazy attack, their target. It's themselves. Only by catching themselves can they stop the space fleet's devastating blow to the ground. There was a trace of ferocity on Garmisch's face. Since only death can wash away the shame on him, then he will let all the Charnos be buried with him. As Strong's top commander in Oret, he is the only one who can wash away his shame. Only the authorization code can release the pre-set space coordinates of the tactical missiles of the space fleet that are already in the activated state - at this moment, the coordinate points are already aimed at Orit.
Sussman stepped forward and knocked the pistol out of Garmisch's hand. As Garmisch's adjutant, he knew the nature of his commander very well, and he could do anything when he was crazy. He must stop Garmisch's crazy behavior, and he must know that there are not only Charno people in Oret at this moment, but also hundreds of thousands of Strong soldiers. Several staff officers nearby also realized the consequences of Garmisch's crazy actions, and rushed over to help Sussman push the still struggling Lieutenant General Garmisch to the ground.
The Interstellar Convention stipulates that during the war, the warring parties shall not arbitrarily kill captured soldiers, especially senior commanders. After negotiation between the warring parties, they can return their respective captured personnel through exchange, redemption, etc.
No one intended to be buried with Garmisch. If Garmisch committed suicide for glory, of course there would be no problem, but now Garmisch's life and death is related to the life and death of everyone, and there is no room for anyone to hesitate. Several civilian staff officers even took advantage of the chaos and kicked Garmisch in a vicious manner.
The sporadic fighting in Rhodes ended quickly. The Strong soldiers, who were demoralized in the face of the murderous steel mecha, stopped their unnecessary resistance. A few minutes later, a surrender order issued by the General Headquarters of Strong's 13th Battle Group was sent to each soldier's personal tactical terminal. Although he was unwilling to accept it, the Strong soldiers did not know what happened. Reluctantly, they put down their weapons and gathered at the designated location according to the command. Immediately afterwards, the 99th Division and the 1st and 3rd Battalions of the Mecha Regiment arrived in a hurry. They disarmed the Strong people in batches and locked all heavy equipment and mecha weapon systems. From then on, the battle on the ground in Orit It's finally over.
After finishing everything, Yi Lexiang walked into the closely guarded original Strong command hall. Dozens of Strong staff officers and several senior commanders were gathered in the center of the hall, surrounded by special forces holding weapons and staring eagerly. Soldiers of the mecha company; on the other side, the crazy and pitiful Lieutenant General Garmisch was handcuffed alone to a metal chair. Wu Wei was riding gracelessly on another chair opposite Garmisch, holding his arms With his chin resting on the back of the chair, he seemed to be having a heart-to-heart conversation with Garmisch. After seeing Yi Lexiang coming over, Wu Wei jumped up quickly and moved a chair for Yi Lexiang for him to sit on. Wu Wei's flattering movements made Yi Lexiang laugh a little. Unexpectedly, Wu Wei, who looked arrogant, serious and military-like when they first met, would become so amused after getting to know him better. However, after seeing the bruise on Garmisch's face, Yi Lexiang suddenly realized that this kid was afraid that he would not succeed if he pressed him. No wonder he was so well-behaved.
"I didn't hit you, please don't accuse me unjustly."
Seeing Yi Lexiang¡¯s understanding expression, Wu Weiwei cried out that he was wronged.
"You didn't hit him?" Yi Lexiang obviously looked disbelieving. Wu Wei, a playboy, could enjoy beating up the enemy's commander.
"They did it." Wu Wei saw Yi Lexiang's face full of disbelief, and quickly pointed to Staff Strong who was squatting in the center of the command hall.
"Please, you have to find a reasonable reason for lying." Yi Lexiang looked at Wu Wei dumbfounded. Only a ghost could believe how the Strong people could beat their own commander.
"Oh my God, I was really wronged. It was really one of their own who did it." Wu Wei looked anxious. Beating someone is not a big deal, the key is the coward who takes the blame.
"Oh?" Yi Lexiang was a little convinced now, and looked at the strong staff suspiciously. Are they rebelling? Facing Yi Lexiang's shimmering eyes, several Strong staff members lowered their heads in shame.
Or sensing the joking in Yi Lexiang's eyes, a young staff officer Strong stood up and recounted the scene that had just happened in the command room. Finally, he raised his chin somewhat arrogantly and said, "If not We stopped Lieutenant General Garmisch's crazy behavior, and now everyone is just dead. In a sense, we saved you, and I ask that we be given better treatment."
Yi Lexiang stared at the boastful young staff officer in stunned silence, feeling beyond words the shock in his heart. This boy should look like a noble. He is obviously afraid of death, but he speaks so impassionedly at this moment, as if he has saved everyone. Damn it, you were so excited when Garmisch ordered the destruction of Orit, and now that you can't escape, you quickly stopped Garmisch's crazy behavior. The key point is that you beat your own commander and then go to your enemies to claim credit. This is too shameless.
Yi Lexiang's expression was half-smiling, and his eyes swept over Strong's staff who were squatting on the ground. Several older staff members were already blushing with shame.
Too lazy to pay attention to the confused Staff Strong, Yi Lexiang turned around and asked Wu Wei, "How are you? Did you ask for his authorization code? We don't have enough time. It's 6:40 in the morning." , Strong's original plan was to launch the evacuation operation at eight o'clock. Then the tactical missile attack time may be set between 16 o'clock and 20 o'clock, and we only have about 8 hours." Yi Lexiang said here Then he pursed his lips towards the center of the hall, "What about them, do they know?"
"I've asked them all, but they don't know. Only Garmisch knows the specific attack time of the tactical missile." Wu Wei took a look, closed his eyes tightly, and Garmisch, who was silent and refused to cooperate, sighed. .
