After traveling for a while, Li Xin finally arrived at the assembly point of the rapid reaction force.
This is because these troops dared to gather so openly, considering that the enemy currently has no air force and cannot use missiles.
When fighting against the Rock Kingdom, which is also a human country, these troops did not dare to gather on such a large scale.
Otherwise, it won’t be long before there is an air strike or a precise missile attack.
Generally speaking, if a company can be assembled on a human battlefield, people will worry about whether there will be an air raid.
When Li Xin arrived at the assembly point driving the Centurion, he saw all kinds of armored vehicles all over the mountains.
I saw a densely packed mecha army on one side. Although it looked like a lot, there were actually only four hundred of them, and there were no B-class mechas.
The strongest among them is the C-class vanguard mecha unit.
Even if there were four hundred mechas, they would look like a large group because of their tall figures.
There are only 400 of them but they have such a posture. It is hard to imagine what kind of horrible scene it would be if the 2,000 mechas in Duan Xinjie's hands were deployed.
But Li Xin changed his mind and realized that he had received intelligence about the airstrike and missile attack, and that Duan Xinjie was not having a good time either.
Even if he could now contaminate the remaining mechas and fighter jets so that they could be activated, they would not have as much power as before.
But no matter how you think about it, no one can tell how much power this guy actually has at his disposal.
After arriving at the assembly point, Li Xin summoned all senior officers of the rapid reaction force for a military meeting.
In a temporary conference room, there were already more than a dozen people gathered here, all of them were M3-level officers.
Mainly the brigade commanders of mechanized brigades, the captains of mechanized units, and officers at the detachment commander level.
Before Li Xin arrived, the officers here were still chatting in low voices.
Some were lamenting the enemy's strength, while some of the mecha divisions were talking about the Centurion mecha they saw today.
For every psychic mecha pilot, who doesn't want to drive larger and more powerful mecha units.
Now they are all vanguards, but the vanguards are no match for the centurions.
A centurion leading the vanguard is as easy as a father beating his son, and it may not be effective even in a siege.
But before they could discuss for long, they heard footsteps outside.
Everyone immediately fell silent and looked towards the door of the conference room.
“Wow!”
Two hands wearing power armor lifted the curtain of the conference room. They were the genetically modified warriors guarding the door.
The next moment, a young officer in power armor walked in from outside, followed by a group of officers.
The officers who were originally seated in the conference room stood up almost at the same time and saluted Li Xin who came in: "Salute!"
Li Xin casually raised his hand and returned a military salute, then walked straight to the head of the conference table.
He stood still, his cold eyes sweeping over everyone present, then he relaxed his gaze and said calmly, "Everyone, sit down!"
"Yes, sir!" The officers sat down in unison.
Among the troops gathered here at this time, including the troops brought by Li Xin, there are six mechanized brigade-level units, and the total number of mecha units is 520.
This was a force that Li Xin had never controlled before, but this force was still not enough.
Li Xin first said: "Please introduce yourselves."
"Keep it short."
"Yes, sir!"
Then, from Li Xin's right side, officers began to introduce themselves one by one.
"Sir, I'm Wang He, commander of the 5th Airborne Assault Brigade."
"I am... Bi Heping, commander of the 7th Air Assault Brigade."
"Ye Zhou... Commander of the 8th Airborne Assault Brigade"
"Ma Tairan... Commander of the 9th Airborne Assault Brigade"
"Miao Jian...Captain of the 22nd Mecha Support Battalion"
"Zhang Jiu... Captain of the 13th Mecha Assault Battalion."
…
After more than a dozen officers took turns to briefly introduce themselves, Li Xin also had a general idea of what was going on.
These are the group's rapid reaction forces, capable of providing support to the war zone as quickly as possible.
Li Xin continued, "When was the last time I contacted Commander Zhong?"
"Where is Commander Zhong?"
Wang He of the 5th Airborne Brigade stood up and responded, "Commander Li, the last time we contacted Commander Zhong was seven hours ago."
"The last time I contacted the unknown person, he was here."
He pointed to a location on the holographic map. Li Xin turned his head and frowned.
It's simple, the distance is a bit too far compared to their current position.
Even if the troops advance at full speed, it will take at least two days, and there may be no fighting during this period.
If a battle occurs, this time may need to be extended.
However, Zhong Jianping is now the highest-ranking officer in the entire Todute War Zone, and Li Xin is not considered a suitable commander.
If we don't rescue Zhong Jianping, it would be an equally serious problem if this old guy died.
The military is a place where seniority and rank are important. If you are not of high enough rank, others will not obey your orders obediently, let alone just a few words.
To give a simple example, within the current war zone, there are some medium-sized war zones and the organization of several group armies.
Their superiors are also M4-level officers, who may be dead or corrupted.
But the organizational level of these troops is here, and Li Xin is also an M4-level officer. It is theoretically possible for him to command these troops, but it is very difficult in practice.
The group would not give him real power over other troops, even if it was only temporary.
Firstly, Li Xin’s level is indeed not high enough, and secondly, they are also worried that Li Xin’s command ability is insufficient.
Li Xin had tens of thousands of men under his command, but if you look closely at each of his battles, you will find that he only mobilized a small number of soldiers.
Even when it came to the coalition forces of Dadewan Technology, the Gaswu Order, and Nordon Castle, the only troops he could truly command like his own fingers and arms were the mechanized troops.
Fighting in large-scale troops, commanding 10,000 to 20,000 people, and commanding 100,000, or even 100,000 to 200,000 people, including the coordination of various arms, such as the Air Force, missile forces, and the Army's mecha and armored forces.
This is not something that can be achieved by just talking about it, and not everyone can do it.
Including communication with various troops, Li Xin’s level is not enough now.
This is also the reason why, even though Gao Yuanliang angrily denounced Zhong Jianping as a waste, he still wanted him to be the supreme commander this time.
Because in some aspects of combat command, even though Zhong Jianping is weaker, he is still much more suitable for this position than Li Xin.
