The sandstorm in Guansuo 4.
For everyone on this planet, it is a natural disaster that we are accustomed to.
Whether in a small settlement town or in a big city.
In the basins of the planet, or in plateaus and mountainous areas like Yadun, strong winds blow from time to time, causing sandstorms.
In such a sandstorm, human vision will deteriorate and electromagnetic signals will be interfered with.
The fierce wind can even blow away light vehicles, and even infantry fighting vehicles sometimes cannot withstand it.
Including roads that lead hundreds of kilometers away, they are buried in sections by sand and gravel, and workers need to be arranged to clean the roads every once in a while.
Such sandstorms are natural disasters for all human beings.
But at this moment, Li Xin just wanted to laugh out loud.
The wind around began to get stronger, from a level 5 gale to a level 11 gale, and the wind was still continuing to escalate.
The sky became gray and dust was blown all over the sky. Gradually, it was not just dust that was blown into the air, but also fine sand and small pieces of stone.
Li Xin's vanguard mecha turned and looked in Powell's direction. His laughter gradually became louder and more powerful.
Li Xin said slowly: "This time!"
"The Scourge...is on my side!"
Li Xin still remembered the last time they were chasing the enemy evacuating from the Dan'an area, the battlefield environment was blocked due to a sandstorm.
This caused the enemy to escape in the sandstorm.
It is not impossible to travel during a sandstorm, but one has to face the harsh environment and suffer great losses.
This time, Li Xin was only accompanied by mecha troops, as the armored troops were left on a distant battlefield and could not be taken care of for the time being.
This time, he wanted to make a huge bet.
Li Xin's cold voice rang in the ears of all the mecha commanders. He said, "All units, move closer to me!"
"This time, we must brave the sandstorm and destroy the enemy!"
"Tear them apart!"
All the mecha masters felt their blood boiling at this moment, and they roared: "Tear them apart!"
“Boom!!!”
The sky and the earth seemed to change color because of the roars of Li Xin and these mecha masters. The mechas began to gather and charge.
With Li Xin as the spearhead of the charge, they headed straight towards the enemy.
The heavy mechanical creations and the sound of their galloping even suppressed the howling wind and raging sandstorm between heaven and earth.
And on the other side.
In Powell's command center, the veteran's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
His chief of staff came over and asked, "Sir, a sandstorm is coming. What should we do?"
"Should we order the troops to stay put and wait until the sandstorm passes before leaving?"
Among the Bexia Foundation's troops, they only have two motorized infantry brigades and one mecha squadron.
There are not many armored vehicles, but they can be driven on roads and travel through uninhabited areas.
But when encountering a natural disaster like a sandstorm, people will suffer and can only gather together.
Powell seemed to have just come back to his senses from the changing sky. He said anxiously, "We can't stop!"
The chief of staff said in surprise: "If we don't stop, we will suffer losses."
Powell looked at the young man with disappointment. He originally thought he was a talented person, but he didn't expect it to be all fake.
He shouted helplessly, "I'm sure that with the sandstorm, the enemy mecha troops are definitely turning around and chasing us!"
"If we stop, not only will we suffer losses, but we'll be completely wiped out!"
The Chief of Staff exclaimed, “No way!”
"In this visual environment, is the enemy crazy?!"
Powell took a deep breath and said, "He's not crazy!"
"But he is scarier than a madman. He is a true warmongerer!"
"It's too late! Order the troops not to stop and keep moving forward!"
The chief of staff said bitterly, "If we continue to advance, our motorized infantry brigade will surely suffer losses..."
Powell gave an iron-blooded order, saying, "We can't afford to worry about a small loss!"
"Yes! Sir!"
The chief of staff quickly passed the order down, which immediately caused an uproar in the entire army.
But the order had been given, and no one dared to delay. The only armored unit was temporarily dismantled and connected to the troop transport truck using towing ropes.
Increase the weight of these vehicles to prevent a car from being directly lifted off.
But even though Powell had given the order to set off, the troops began to move out in the sandstorm, but in such an environment, their speed could not be increased at all.
Powell, who was in the command vehicle, listened to the howling wind outside and the sound of dense gravel hitting the vehicle, and his face was not looking good.
He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Li Xin would not pursue him, but return to the main battlefield with Nodong Fort.
On the march, the soldiers in the troop transport trucks were in a panic because their vehicles had no armor.
Most of the carriages are made of iron sheets, which can protect against wind and rain, but are not enough when facing sandstorms.
"Bang!"
A larger piece of gravel was blown directly by the strong wind, breaking through the outer protection and crashing into the troop transport truck.
He smashed the head of a soldier in front of him, causing him to bleed.
In the sandstorm, it was not just a matter of people getting injured. The strong wind and bad air conditions made it difficult for some soldiers to breathe.
The next moment, a troop transport truck was blown sideways by the strong wind, and the soldiers inside suddenly fell to the ground.
"The car fell over!"
"Someone come and help!"
The soldiers in the car were knocked unconscious and staggered out, trying to restore the truck.
But how could it be possible to do so in such conditions, with strong winds?
The bad news reached the headquarters one by one.
The motorized troops did not gather in groups and had to continue advancing in the face of strong winds and sandstorms, resulting in heavy losses.
The Chief of Staff found Powell and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Sir, this sandstorm is too severe. The motorized troops can't handle it at all!"
"what to do!?"
Even Powell was at his wit's end. After much deliberation, he said, "Since we can't get away, let's get off the road!"
"Pass the order down, have all troops clear the road and move a certain distance before gathering!"
"If the enemy dares to gamble, then we'll gamble too. We'll bet that they won't chase us, and even if they do, they won't be able to find us!"
"Order the troops, all personnel to remain silent, do not make any sound, and do not generate any electromagnetic signals!"
The Chief of Staff immediately responded, "Yes, sir!"
Then he quickly began to issue orders. At this moment, time was life.
After giving these orders, Powell looked at the roof of the command vehicle in a daze. He didn't know whether his order was right or wrong.
