The troops set out the next day after Li Xin and his men had made their preparations.

The wilderness raid mission lasted more than 500 kilometers, and they had very little time left, with only two days on the road.

This distance is a big challenge for tracked armored units, but it is not impossible to complete.

For the mecha troops, it is even a smaller problem. Even if the mechas are allowed to run more than 500 kilometers a day, it is not an impossible task.

The troops set out at night, and their tanks, armored vehicles, and even mechas were all fully camouflaged.

Firstly, it is necessary to block the radar, and secondly, it is necessary to block the detection means of other enemies in the sky.

The armored forces advanced in batches in battalion-level combat units, and Li Xin and his mecha troops were also split up and assigned to some battalion-level armored forces to march together.

Only when walking in the wilderness at night can you truly experience the harsh environment on the planet Guansuo 4.

The original owners of the colony planet Guansuo 4 were the Chiru people, who had a higher tolerance for this planet.

This is something that humans cannot compare to. When the first group of humans entered this planet and began to colonize it, they began to plan to transform the planet.

The first step is to transform the atmospheric environment to make the climate here more stable and suitable for human survival.

The next step was to establish human settlements in places with better environments.

But the foundation of Guansuo 4 is too poor. Except for some places where settlements have been established, the environment in other places is quite harsh.

There are Gobi Desert and wasteland covered with red soil everywhere, and there are basically no animals or plants to be seen.

The indigenous Chiru people did not exist in large numbers before the arrival of humans because of the harsh living environment on this planet.

The number of the Chiru people has increased because after human colonization, the transformation of the environment in the settlements has also allowed the Chiru people to enjoy the benefits.

Of course, it is also because at the beginning of colonization, humans needed more labor.

On Guansuo 4, there is basically no space for plants to grow, especially those that are not suitable for the growth of plants and animals brought by humans.

Therefore, most of the time, the food supplies that humans need come from factory production centers.

For example, various hydroponic farms, even industrially synthesized starch, various industrially synthesized high-concentration energy liquids, etc.

This large-scale industrially produced resource is the raw material for making various energy pastes.

The plants produced in hydroponic farms and the animals raised in farms are not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

Before leaving the settled area, Li Xin could still see the native low shrubs planted at the border to stabilize the wind and sand.

After leaving here, we officially entered the wilderness.

The troops walked across the wasteland, and everywhere they could see red sand, large stones, and gravel eroded by the wind.

Tracked tanks and armored vehicles consume more energy when traveling on this kind of land, and the tracks are also severely damaged.

Although it is a Gobi-like environment, the ground here is uneven, even the reconnaissance troops in front have chosen the ground that is as easy to walk on as possible.

There are still many problems waiting for these armored forces.

During the first 100 kilometers, these armored troops ran very fast and soon reached the first rest point.

The armored soldiers came out of the vehicles and quickly inspected their vehicles.

Check the overall condition of the vehicle, replace track parts, and more.

Li Xin sat inside the mecha, casually looking around.

The wind in the wilderness was quite strong, blowing up red sand and dust everywhere, and sometimes even small pebbles.

This supply point was built in a very covert manner. It was built on a rock wall and had a semi-underground camp dug out to store various supplies.

This supply camp is not small. As a supply point in the wilderness, the material reserves here can be said to be extremely rich.

There is no shortage of various weapons, ammunition, equipment and accessories.

Even if it is a damaged mecha or armored vehicle, you can find suitable parts here to replace it.

This is the first supply point, which not only meets the supply needs of this army, but also serves as a transit station for the subsequent three supply points.

Here, there is an entire company of armored infantry guarding it, and the location is very secretive, so basically there won't be any problems.

After the first supply was completed, the troops set off again without delaying too long.

We are just beginning now, and even if there are problems with these vehicles, they will not appear at the beginning.

The convoy continued to move forward, and the tank tracks rolled over the gravel. The weight of dozens of tons could even turn the gravel into powder.

The convoy basically travels on the same route, and as long as the lead vehicle can pass, the other vehicles can basically pass as well.

Moreover, the reconnaissance vehicles that lead the way are also very careful in choosing the roads in the wilderness to minimize the damage to armored vehicles as much as possible.

It can be said that the best places in the entire Dan'an area have been occupied by human settlements, and other places are simply barren.

Even if the entire Guansuo planet has undergone atmospheric transformation, the harsh environment cannot be completely reversed in just a few hundred years.

The convoy is moving.

The radar suddenly detected a high-energy electromagnetic reaction on one side of the movement, and Li Xin quickly increased his psychic power and radar detection.

After taking a closer look, I finally realized what was happening.

This is a Gobi storm in the wilderness. The strong winds in the Gobi have swept up countless sand and gravel, and coupled with the complex electromagnetic environment, it can be said to be a major disaster in the Gobi.

Moreover, this type of Gobi storm is relatively common in the wilderness. It comes and goes quickly, and there is no way to detect and avoid it in advance.

Even settlements in the Dan'an region are sometimes hit by these Gobi storms.

In the convoy's temporary communication, the commander of the Mechanized Brigade quickly received an order:

"Attention all units!"

"Gobi Storm is approaching. All units quickly gather together and work together to avoid the storm!"

The notice was repeated several times in succession, and every vehicle in the entire convoy was rapidly approaching.

Armored vehicles such as the Short-tailed Rat, self-propelled artillery, and other lighter vehicles were placed in the middle position.

On the periphery are the heavier Deer Hunter tanks and Li Xin and his team's mechas.

Gobi storms can be big or small. A small one may only last for a dozen minutes or so, and the wind speed is relatively small.

If it is a big storm, it may last for several hours, or even a whole day. The wind will be much stronger and can even blow up armored vehicles.

Therefore, light vehicles can only be surrounded in the middle to prevent unnecessary losses.
