Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1165 The Legion’s back-up plan!
"Target destroyed! Preliminary estimate is that the number of targets killed is no less than 1100, and the number of targets delayed is about 2000 to 2500. The remaining targets are not affected by the wave line because they are far away from the wave line."

"Report! A large number of enemy planes appeared behind enemy lines. The number is no less than 1000!"

"Report! Due to the influence of the wave line, the enemy line is disconnected for at least 30 seconds! The vanguard MS unit requests an assault!"

The wave of killing caused by the transport ships did cause great losses to the legion. Coupled with the salvos from the warships that followed, the legion's vanguard troops suffered further heavy damage, causing them to become disconnected from the subsequent legion troops.

this is a good chance!

"Order, approve the MS troops to attack!! Make sure to wipe out the enemy's vanguard as quickly as possible to create an advantageous space for subsequent battles."

"Yes!"

The CIC moved quickly to forward Kati Manikin's order.

After receiving the order to attack, the MS troops, full of fighting spirit, immediately attacked at full speed, using the standard tactics of frontal assault and flanking movements on the left and right flanks.

"Song Tao. I'll leave this to you. I'm going to be out for a while."

As Sergei turned and walked towards the bridge door, he gave orders to the adjutant beside him.

"Yes! Colonel. Leave this to me!"

The adjutant responded without hesitation.

In the brief confrontation between his own MS troops and those unidentified machines, Sergei had already seen a clue.

Just as Kati Manikin had predicted, these combined machines, which were composed of multiple Scout-class aircraft, did suddenly separate when approaching the enemy and launch a surprise attack on the target.

Although the human MS troops did not suffer much loss in the first round of battle due to Kati Manikin's warning, it was only temporary.

Kati Manikin's tactical prediction skills are undoubtedly excellent.

But the situation on the battlefield changes in a flash.

Kati Manikin, who was sitting firmly in the rear, might sometimes find it difficult to detect the unusual movements of the legion in time.

At this time, the MS troops fighting on the front line must have a commander who can detect abnormalities in time and adjust tactics in time.

"Sergei. Are you going to attack?"

As Sergei boarded his Pioneer, a call came in from his good friend Pang Harkuri.

"Well. It's time! The current advantage is only temporary. While we use the waves created by the transport ships to attack and kill the enemy, the enemy is probably also observing us."

Sergei put on his helmet carefully and spoke in a deep voice.

"You mean the Legion didn't use its full strength?"

Pang Hakuri looked a little solemn.

Although this is the consensus of these commanders, the current offensive of the Legion is so powerful that it is hard to doubt that the Legion is just making a small move.

"Well, I'm afraid two or three out of ten are not used."

Sergei nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of thought.

"If after the war a few years ago, the Legion was divided into two parts, one part stayed on the surface, and the other part took advantage of the chaos on Earth and had no time to care about space, and hid in space silently, accumulating strength until now, how large do you think the Legion in space could have been?!"

"this···"

Pang Hakuri's expression was uncertain.

Obviously, the speculation Sergei mentioned was also what these commanders were worried about.

Moreover, it is almost certain.

"Good! I'll send out the reserve forces now. See you later, Sergei!"

Sergei smiled.

“See you later!”

"Report! Colonel Sergei is leading the first batch of reserve troops to attack."

The CIC reported Sergei's movements to Kati Manikin. "Yes. I understand. Send an order to the rear troops, requiring the Pure Source Fleet and our follow-up fleet to speed up and rush to the battlefield!"

"Yes!"

Kati Manikin hesitated for a moment and spoke again.

"Which pure source fleets are closest to us?"

"It's the Chunyuan First and Third Fleets. They will arrive at this battlefield in less than 30 minutes."

"Well, keep pushing!"

"Understood! Brigadier General!"

30 minutes.

There are still 30 minutes before the first reinforcement fleet arrives.

And in these thirty minutes, anything can happen.

The Legion's vanguard was frustrated, and the morale of the Earth Federation Fleet was boosted. It turned to speed up the delivery of firepower and launched a new round of fierce attacks, resulting in the continuous destruction of Legion units across the battlefield. Even the new machines carefully prepared for human pilots failed to create more results.

This result caused a lot of objections in the legion network.

"What's going on? Why is the Earth Federation's offensive so strong? Why is our Dumm (a synthetic machine composed of multiple Scout-class aircraft) so weak?"

"The other party has seen through Dum's secret! How is it possible? This is the first time Dum has appeared in front of the Earth Federation Army. There is no way humans can see through Dum's secret!"

Unbelievable voices rang out one after another, filling the legion network with an atmosphere of instability.

"possible."

At this time, a plain voice sounded quietly.

"You? You're the Golden Fleece. Tell me what you think."

A bass voice with higher authority sounded, causing all voices to pause, waiting for the next words from the voice called the Golden Fleece.

"Kati Manikin. This is one of the frontline commanders of the Earth Federation Fleet. If it's her, she must be able to see through Dum's secret. In addition, based on the current battlefield situation, I have reason to believe that Colonel Sergei Smirnov, formerly of the Human Revolutionary League and now the MS commander of the Earth Federation Fleet, has also joined the frontline battlefield and led the human MS troops to launch a breakthrough attack on our formation."

"Kati Manikin?! Is she the top tactical forecaster from the former AEU?"

"Sergei Smirnov? I remember this man. His nickname is "Wild Bear"?"

"Tsk! Trouble! The Earth Federation Army actually sent out these two troublesome guys."

Following the information revealed by the "Golden Fleece", there was once again a commotion in the Legion network.

"Quiet! Everyone. Although Kati Manikin and Sergei Smirnov are troublesome, they also prove that the Earth Federation Army wants to use this battle to get rid of our army once and for all. Therefore, I suggest mobilizing more troops and investing them in this battle to completely destroy the Earth Federation Army fleet."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"···"

"Most High! Please judge!"

After the Legion Network reached a consensus, they all made requests to the Supreme Being who was watching every move in the Legion Network.

"I agree! Continue to send out more Dummies, Giant Hercules, and Whales."

"Swimming whale?!"

The appearance of the name Youjing instantly ignited the Legion network, and the noisy voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire network.

Because the swimming whales are not soldier units of the legion!
Rather, it is a battleship unit specially developed by the Supreme in order to make the legion better adaptable to the environment of the space battlefield - the Whale-class space battleship.
