When Li Xin's mecha troops returned to the original point of the overturned truck.
The windward side of these trucks was almost half buried by sand and gravel.
This shows how great the threat of this sandstorm is. If there are no vehicles, humans may soon die in this sandstorm, and may even be blown away.
Li Xin's mecha looked around and felt that there might be enemies hiding behind every hill around him.
He ordered coldly: "Begin to search the surrounding area in teams!"
"We must find the enemy!"
“Once you spot the enemy, open fire immediately and the other troops will come towards you!
The mecha masters responded loudly: "Yes! Supervisor!"
Hundreds of mechas were in action again. They were divided into teams of about ten mechas and searched in all directions.
In Powell's command center, his face turned extremely ugly after he heard the heavy footsteps of the mecha cluster coming from afar.
The other people in the command vehicle were so frightened that they dared not breathe.
Powell said slowly: "The enemy must have discovered something or reacted!"
"What!?" exclaimed the Chief of Staff.
Powell sighed, "I underestimated the enemy commander!"
"He's truly a natural born soldier, so sharp!"
The chief of staff turned pale. He asked, "Sir, do you mean they discovered us?"
Powell sighed, "It's only a matter of time before they find us."
The place they chose to park was certainly not on the same line as where the vehicle overturned, but a section of the road ahead.
But as long as Li Xin starts searching the surroundings, there will be no way to hide here.
Powell thought for a while and said, "This is not a solution. We can suffer losses, but we can't lose them all in this position!"
"Give the mecha troops an order to remain silent and lower their voices as they advance into the wilderness. Leave the main road and evacuate!"
Upon hearing this, the Chief of Staff said, "Then we...?"
Powell gave a wry smile and said, "We definitely can't leave, so let's just wait here."
"I hope the enemy's commander is not a cruel person."
After hearing this, the chief of staff felt as if all the bones in his body had been pulled out, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
But he was still in a state of dismay and went to convey orders to the mecha troops.
When everything was settled, the chief of staff sat in his chair in a daze, his eyes blank.
The mecha troops have begun to move quietly to the periphery and head towards the wilderness.
The mechas were not greatly affected by the sandstorm. As long as they could avoid the first wave of searches, they could still escape.
But the chief of staff knew that he and the command center could not escape.
What awaits him is an enemy attack, which may directly use artillery fire to annihilate this unit.
The luckiest thing that could happen was to capture all two motorized infantry brigades and bring them back to Dewan Technology.
As senior commanders of this force, both Powell and the Chief of Staff had to visit the prisoner-of-war camp.
The chief of staff's heart was already dead at this point. Whether he was killed directly or captured later, it would mean the end of his political life.
Even if he was captured, or even exchanged or released in the future, he would never have the chance to continue climbing up.
Even the current level may not be maintained.
Coming back from the enemy camp, who knows how much confidential information you have leaked, and who knows if you have been turned against the enemy.
In the command vehicle, everyone stopped what they were doing, and some even started writing suicide notes.
Everyone's face looked unhappy, filled with fear and hesitation about the future.
Compared to immediate death, the real horror is waiting for judgment with an unknown fate.
If the shoe drops, it may make some people breathe a sigh of relief.
In the distance, there was a sudden loud explosion, followed by more intensive machine gun fire.
The moment this voice sounded, there was an uproar in the command center.
Everyone looked at Powell, the supreme commander here.
Powell's face turned pale and he closed his eyes in pain.
It was obvious that the sound was coming from some distance away from them, and this kind of dense firepower could not be produced by a large force with soldiers hiding in troop transport trucks.
The appearance of this sound means that the secretly evacuating mecha squadron has been discovered by the enemy.
Powell closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "It's over... It's all over... One wrong step, and everything will be wrong!"
At this moment, Powell suddenly remembered Stella, whom he had abandoned.
If I had not been blinded by the idea of conserving my strength and had chosen to lead the troops to support Stella, the result might be completely different now.
Supporting Stella will definitely cause losses to the troops, and the losses may be large, but the army will definitely not be wiped out.
However, when Powell chose to abandon Stella, he never thought that he would end up in this situation today.
Powell sighed and said, "God, are you here to punish me?"
"Why did a sandstorm fall when our army was evacuating?"
“If there hadn’t been a sandstorm…”
If there had been no sandstorm, Powell would have really run away and met up with Valen, and it would have been Li Xin who got dealt with.
But there are no ifs.
In front and to the side, the mecha squadron of the Besha Foundation that was escaping secretly happened to encounter a searching detachment of Dagger Attendants.
All the hounds chose to silence their bodies almost at the same time, trying to avoid the detection of the Dagger Sergeants.
But fate was not kind to these hounds. The dagger servants discovered them, and the moment they discovered them, they quickly retreated.
The dagger servants retreated while simultaneously unleashing their maximum firepower.
All of a sudden, various rockets, anti-tank missiles, laser cannons, plasma cannons, rapid-fire machine guns and other firepower opened fire at the same time.
The already noisy sandstorm environment became even more noisy at this time.
A Mad Lion mecha, as the commander of this Hound Squadron, roared loudly: "Charge!"
"Charge forward and quickly kill this enemy mecha unit!"
"Kill them, and we still have a chance to survive!"
The Hound Squadron roared and launched a full-scale fire attack at the same time, chasing the Dagger Servants all the way.
However, this squad of dagger attendants had no intention of stopping to fight; they only wanted to escape.
In this harsh environment, the long-range firepower of both sides was affected and could not play its due role.
The Mad Lion Commander could only watch the enemy move flexibly and dodge the attacks. If he really couldn't dodge, he would use the Void Shield to withstand the attacks.
Meanwhile, the dagger servants from other places were surrounding them at the fastest speed!
