Whether it was the Deerslayer or the Rattan, the need for such long-distance raids was not considered when these two tanks were first designed.

Is it that technology cannot do it? Obviously not.

In the age of interstellar colonization, starships are roaming the universe and mechas are running everywhere.

With current technology, making a tank that can travel long distances, even thousands of kilometers, is not a big problem.

But then again, generally speaking, there is no need for armored units to travel such a long distance.

In normal combat, being able to advance fifty or sixty kilometers a day is already a very fast thing.

For deer hunters and short-tailed mice, that distance is a piece of cake.

For longer distances, there are many ways to march, such as by rail or by air using a transport boat.

Both are good methods. If you really don't take the road, you can still march long distances even if it causes some damage to the road.

However, the road was too far away and couldn't bear the distance, but it was still much better than marching in the wilderness.

But the wilderness is different. The wilderness outside the Dan'an area, although also plain, is still undulating and the terrain is not perfect.

This means that armored vehicles have to operate at almost full capacity.

This extraordinary raid, as well as a surprise attack on the enemy's logistics hub, is an urgent matter. It is impossible to only allow the troops to run at a speed of a hundred kilometers a day.

If you run over at this speed, the daylily will be cold.

Not to mention, if we were discovered by the enemy while we were still in the wilderness, that would be a real problem.

Whether it is the long-range firepower or the air strike, this force can be sent away without return.

So at the beginning, these people have to rush forward as quickly as possible, and then kill the enemy, or be killed by the enemy.

The Deer Hunter and the Short-tailed Mouse were not designed with this use in mind.

In some aspects, weapons do not necessarily require the use of the most cutting-edge and advanced technology.

Both the Deer Hunter and the Bobtail Mouse were designed decades ago and are still very useful today.

There are options with higher technology, better, and stronger designs, but they are not cost-effective.

Many times, mecha troops are enough.

As for tanks and armored vehicles, more attention should be paid to the price-performance ratio, and it would be enough to keep everyone similar, or even slightly ahead.

If the lead is much greater, the price will be high, and it will not be worth it.

It's the same as the X-49 rifle, which is a gunpowder weapon, even though there are already electromagnetic rifles and laser rifles. In many cases, a weapon just needs to be able to kill people.

…

Lu Quan looked at the expressions of everyone in the conference room and said with a smile, "Don't all have the same expression."

"We have already scouted the armored unit's specific marching route in advance!"

"We've also arranged supply points in the wilderness!"

"After the two previous captures of the Beshimo Steel Plant, although we did not advance further into the Dan'an area, we did not stop our intelligence investigation here."

"This battle plan has been prepared for a long time. We have already secretly set up four supply points in the wilderness."

"There's enough space here for the armored forces' raiding needs. As for your mechas, that won't be a problem at all!"

After hearing what Lu Quan said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But while he was relieved, he also breathed a sigh of relief, because the task of taking over the town of Vick was still not easy at all.

The enemy is heavily guarded here. Even if we rush to the location, it will not be easy to capture it.

"This time, I will let the air force attack the enemy's town of Vic first!"

"We must strive to eliminate more than half of the enemy's forces as soon as the battle begins!"

In front, Lu Quan waved his arms and spoke excitedly.

But Li Xin in the audience disagreed. Air strikes were certainly powerful, but to deal with a place like this, air strikes alone were not enough.

The reason is simple, it’s also a cost issue.

Moreover, the enemy will have complete defensive fortifications, and these places cannot be taken down by air strikes alone. If you want to take these places down, you will need ground forces to take action.

After Lu Quan briefly explained the battle plan, he began to arrange the combat troops.

"This time, we are going to capture the enemy's town of Vick. It's not just about taking over this stronghold. We also have to withstand the enemy's counterattack here!"

"So the command decided to directly dispatch three squadrons as the main combat force!"

"The entire First, Second, and Third Squadrons will serve as the primary force for this battle!"

The shoe has finally dropped.

Some people in the entire combat meeting room felt relieved, while others breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xin and Feng Dai beside him looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

This is another tough battle, and it is not easy to win.

Next, Lu Quan began to continue analyzing the combat plan. In the entire combat meeting room, all the mecha divisions, whether they were going to raid Wick Town this time or not, were having a heated discussion.

Strive to make this battle plan more perfect.

If we make more preparations before the war, there will be fewer casualties during the battle.

There are enough plans, so even if you encounter some unexpected things during the battle, there are enough plans to deal with them.

…

After finishing the combat meeting, Li Xin returned to his team's hangar.

Here, Li Xin sat in the dark, quietly looking at the tall mechanical creature in front of him and his own mount, the Short Sword Servant.

Wei Gan and the other two soon discovered Li Xin's return and surrounded him.

"Boss, are there any new combat instructions this time?" Wei Gan squatted down and asked.

The other two also looked expectant.

Under the leadership of Li Xin, these three recruits all received a Black Sword Medal of Bravery in the last battle.

Now all three of them ended their internship early and officially joined Blueprint Biotech Group.

Moreover, the Black Sword of Valor Medal also comes with 100 contribution points, which also makes the three recruits taste the sweetness.

The current situation of Wei Gan, Ling Yangping and Gan Hongcai is a bit similar to when Li Xin just joined the battlefield.

However, when Li Xin encountered a group of five knights and their followers and beat them up, he suddenly became obedient.

You know, the battlefield is no joke, anything can happen there.

Wei Gan and the other three, under the supervision of Li Xin, such a strong team leader, have never been severely beaten and are still in a frivolous state.

However, Li Xin had no intention of correcting them now. Today's task was so difficult, and being happy about the battle was much better than being scared out of one's wits.
