Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes, the new mission has been issued. This time we need to cooperate with a large number of armored forces to carry out long-distance raids."
Wei Gan asked, "Long distance, how long?"
Li Xin said, "It's only about 500 kilometers."
"Shall we airfreight it?" Gan Hongcai asked in a low voice.
Li Xin shook his head and said, "Drive the mecha over there."
"Boss, it's so far! Should we just walk over there using the mecha?" The three exclaimed when they heard this.
For three recruits, more than 500 kilometers is actually not far, but it depends on how the distance is traveled.
The distance from the blueprint to Heng'an Defense is far more than 500 kilometers, but they don't feel it is far because they were airlifted directly by transport boat when they came.
But how could they have the opportunity to transport them by air if they were to raid over long distances?
Li Xin imitated Lu Quan's words and comforted him, "Don't worry, we have many supply points in the wilderness. These have been prepared long ago. There will be no problems on the road."
After hearing what Li Xin said, Wei Gan, Gan Hongcai and Ling Yangping felt a little relieved.
Then, Li Xin sent them back to rest.
This time, Li Xindu had not yet told the recruits what kind of enemy they would face after the long-distance raid.
Otherwise, if they said that, the three recruits probably wouldn't be able to sleep.
Before the battle begins, it is important to maintain good morale among the three of them.
…
In the hangar.
Four mechas stood here.
In front of the mecha, there is a busy team of mechanics.
Now, it's time to re-equip the mech with weapons.
The desire to make a long-distance raid, coupled with the unexpected situations that may be encountered during the raid.
Finally, there is the battle situation of the decisive battle, and these are the points that Li Xin needs to consider.
The Dagger Squire is a mecha with excellent overall performance, and it is also a full weapon platform.
Basically, the Dagger Squire can adapt to all weapons, which is the power of the Dagger Squire.
Like the D-class Mecha Knight Squires of the Knights of Milda, they have pretty good melee capabilities and their void shields are thicker.
However, the knight attendants' long-range combat capabilities are not good. One reason is that the mecha divisions do not focus on long-range combat and are good at dealing with the opponent's mecha troops in close combat.
Secondly, because the knight's squires can carry only a few long-range weapons to choose from.
It can be said that these two reasons are the reason why knight squires rarely choose to use long-range attacks.
The Dagger Sergeant is different, he is equally good at both ranged and melee attacks.
In front of a small table, four mecha masters were discussing in a low voice.
Li Xin said: "First, the external armor needs to be removed first."
"This is a long-distance raid, not an urban battle. We need to reduce the load on the mecha as much as possible."
"Boss, if this is removed, I won't feel safe..." Wei Gan said with a bitter face.
To be honest, the defensive power that external armor can provide is still quite considerable.
Li Xin looked at Wei Gan, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"You are no longer rookies. After several battles, I believe you can perform well even without external armor."
External armor cannot be brought, it is too heavy.
Moreover, Li Xin thought about the upcoming battle. The enemy had heavy tanks that were specially designed to hunt mechas. Under the plasma jet cannons, whether they had external armor or not, the effect would be the same.
It would be better to give up this part of the defense and instead increase more mobility.
Ling Yangping thought for a moment and said, "Boss, should we equip them with anti-aircraft weapons?"
Li Xin nodded and said, "That's right. Anti-aircraft weapons are a must. During a long-distance raid, anything can happen along the way. Even encountering enemy air forces is not impossible."
"But we don't need everyone to be equipped with anti-aircraft weapons. This time, Gan Hongcai and Ling Yangping will carry anti-aircraft weapons on their shoulders."
Li Xin rummaged through the weapons that could be carried and stored in the outpost base for a while, and finally selected weapons for the two people.
Kestrel air defense missile.
This is a medium-range air defense missile with fast speed and accurate hitting speed.
Not only can it attack armed helicopters in the air, but even fixed-wing fighter jets locked by radar are within the defense range if they fly close.
If the enemy is an aerial combat unit such as an aerial gunboat, it will suffer heavy losses if it is hit by several consecutive Red Falcon missiles.
The Red Falcon air defense missile is an eight-barreled missile that can be launched in a single or salvo.
With the help of mecha radar and the mecha pilot's biological intelligence chip, the Falcon missile can attack up to eight targets at the same time.
Moreover, this type of missile does not only rely on the radar of the mecha, but can also connect to other combat radars in the surrounding area.
For example, data from ground armored forces, satellites in the air, or airborne combat platforms.
Use multiple radar data to assist the locking and attack of the Kestrel air defense missile.
After the air defense was finalized, Li Xin said, "Although there are logistical supply points this time, we also need to consider the problem of delayed logistics supply."
"Saw-toothed Ant rockets are definitely needed. Everyone's mecha should be equipped with them."
"As for the spare ammunition for the six-wheeled electromagnetic cannon, we won't bring any of that. We'll just bring rockets."
"Machine gun ammunition is easier to replenish and can be obtained from logistics supply points, but rockets are not necessarily available."
"Have all the auxiliary troops' armored vehicles transport Sawtooth Ant rockets."
"Yes, boss!" Wei Gan responded.
"For defense, everyone should bring an armored shield. This will be useful when we attack the enemy."
Armored shields are useful, and this is worth the mechas giving up some mobility.
Moreover, when the battle is fierce, the Dagger Sergeant can discard the armor and shield at any time to regain more mobility.
This is something that external armor cannot provide. Although external armor can be removed automatically, the speed is too slow.
Unlike a shield, you can just throw it away and pick it up again after the fight.
After spending some time adjusting and matching all the pieces, the mechanics became busy. The appearance of the four mechas has changed a lot.
The mechas are no longer as bulky as before. Each mecha has weapons mounted on its shoulders, including those of Li Xin and Wei Gan.
There are two twelve-barreled Saw-tooth Ant rockets mounted on the shoulders. Li Xin finds this weapon extremely useful in combat and is not expensive.
Gan Hongcai and Ling Yangping have a set of Sawtooth Ant and Kestrel missile nests on the shoulders of their two mechas.
In addition, Gan Hongcai and Ling Yangping's mechas are also equipped with enhanced radar equipment to strengthen the detection and locking effects of the Red Falcon missiles.
