The sandstorm blew for more than a day.
When the strong wind began to weaken, the vision gradually became clear.
The ground was even raised a lot, and if the armored vehicles were not moved from time to time, they might be buried.
This is the horrific natural disaster that occurs in the Guansuo Four Wildernesses, and such sandstorms occur every once in a while.
This time it may be a north wind, next time it may be a south wind. The climate here is special and the wind direction is unpredictable.
Outside human settlements, there are isolation zones, with large-scale planting of shrubs and other plants to block this terrible natural disaster.
However, the harsh environment of Guansuo 4 made it quite difficult to plant forest barriers in the settlements. As the visual environment gradually became clearer, Li Xin began to re-examine the battlefield.
There was no trace of the enemy left, and only a number of half-submerged damaged armored vehicles were left.
There were also many corpses, these were the bodies of soldiers who did not enter the armored vehicles.
Some were killed by stones, and many were suffocated to death due to difficulty breathing.
This is such a painful way to die.
"It seems the enemy took advantage of the sandstorm to escape!"
Jiang Lou was driving the Pioneer Mecha. After looking from a distance, he also detected no trace of the enemy even with the help of radar.
"The Fifth Squadron made a wasted trip." Li Xin said as he looked at the mecha of the Fifth Squadron approaching not far away.
"It's not a wasted trip. If they hadn't come, the enemy's knights and followers might not have been able to evacuate so easily!" Jiang Lou said.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Jiang Lou said, "Let's wait and see what the headquarters says."
"Anyway, our tactical goal this time has almost been achieved."
"At least, the enemy's infantry suffered heavy losses."
When the situation on the front line was transmitted back to the command center in the rear, Lu Quan, who had been waiting anxiously in the command center, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After he let out a long breath, he smiled at Yin Zhong beside him and said, "Although there were some accidents along the way, at least the final result was good!"
Yin Zhong also laughed and said, "Director Lu's plan this time is quite perfect. If it weren't for the sandstorm, the enemy's two squadrons of knights and squires might have been captured!"
Lu Quan said reservedly, "It may be difficult to take them all, but at least we can take some of them."
"But things are not bad now. According to the reports from the front line, we have captured 23 enemy knights. This is a good result!"
"Haha! Congratulations to Manager Lu!"
After Lu Quan, Yin Zhong and others chatted for a while, they ordered the troops on the front line to retreat.
Only after this order was issued did Li Xin and the others finally relax.
This series of fierce battles really kept him mentally tense.
Close combat is not as good as long-range combat. The excitement and tension brought by long-range shooting is far less than that brought by close combat.
After relaxing, Li Xin began to collect his spoils.
Although the sandstorm was very large, it was still within an acceptable range for the mecha.
The mecha will not be blown away. At most, it will be partially buried, which will not have a big impact.
It wasn't just Li Xin who was collecting the spoils; everyone was collecting any that had been gained.
Even the infantrymen were not idle. They drove armored vehicles and kept moving on the battlefield.
The bodies of the enemy infantrymen were found one by one, and their valuable weapons accessories and personal belongings were collected.
Of course, some armored vehicles, mechas and the like will not be distributed to individual soldiers and mecha divisions.
These spoils must be handed over to the group. If the damage to some knights' entourage is not serious, they will even be repaired and then sold to other groups.
It is not impossible that a D-class mecha, after being repaired and passed through several hands, will return to the hands of the Knights of Milda.
"This guy is fat, and his gun is covered in expensive accessories!"
"Hahaha, what's the point of buying such expensive accessories? They're just cheaping me out!"
Li Xin's mecha dragged a knight escort and passed by several soldiers, listening to the cheers of these infantrymen.
Whether it is the blueprint, Heng'an Defense, or even the Milda Guards, they all provide basic equipment for the soldiers.
Sometimes soldiers have to buy some accessories for their guns with their own money.
This is indeed a costly job, but the soldiers are the most willing to spend money for the sake of their own lives.
Li Xin dragged the damaged Knight Squire mecha to the collective storage area.
All the spoils belonging to Li Xin in the cockpit of this mecha had been cleaned up by him, leaving nothing behind.
As for the remaining mecha corpses, they will be piled here and wait for the logistics troops to find time to take them away.
…
After the battle, the second squadron, where Jiang Lou and Li Xin were located, returned to Vick Town for defense.
This time, their second squadron lost three more mechas, all of which were killed in close combat.
The battle between the Dagger Squires and the Knight Squires is back and forth. At a distance, the Dagger Squires will use various heavy firepower to kill some Knight Squires.
And when the knight's followers get closer, they will use their more powerful melee body attributes and richer melee experience to make up for the previous losses in close combat.
It was almost the same this time. If it weren't for the sandstorm, the Fifth Squadron behind would have also come to support.
If the melee combat continues like this, the casualties on both sides will continue to increase, there will be losses of dagger servants, and knight squires will also be killed in battle.
But generally speaking, after getting into close combat, the Dagger Servants definitely suffered greater casualties.
Li Xin's team also lost a mecha. Now the team, which originally had twelve mechas, now has only ten.
Wei Gan, Ling Yangping, Gan Hongcai and the other three were relatively lucky. Following Li Xin, their ability to survive was greatly improved.
The worst off was Gan Hongcai, whose mechanical arm had been chopped off by the enemy.
If Li Xin had not provided timely support, this guy would have become the first casualty of Li Xin's seventh group.
However, after the battle, Gan Hongcai's morale was almost instantly restored after he took over part of the spoils of the mecha from Li Xin.
After all, there is nothing more important than getting no spoils and making no money.
For this kind of knight's entourage that was considered a cooperative kill, if it were anyone else, Li Xin might have taken it all for himself.
But within his own group and team, Li Xin is still very generous.
