Chapter 264 Two-pronged Approach 2
Lianyi refused bluntly, and Ouyang felt helpless that he was actually rejected.
"Teacher, I really didn't lie to you. Operating this mecha requires 3S+ of mental strength."
Ouyang waved his hand to show that he believed him, and then said:
"I have discussed with General Ness and sent a small team to go around to the other side of the satellite planet and then go to the nearest satellite planet QSWL for help. I originally wanted to borrow your mecha, but now it seems that I can only let you participate."
"Teacher, rest assured, I will complete the task."
Lianyi immediately responded with a smile.
"We're leaving tonight. Get ready. I'll explain this to my classmates. Come with me to report to the breakout team."
"yes!"
Lianyi jumped down, put away her mecha, and followed Teacher Ouyang into a separate mecha hangar in the base.
"Ouyang, have you borrowed the mecha?"
After Sean asked the question, he saw Du Hongtu following behind Ouyang.
"Why did you call Hongtu here?"
Sean quickly changed the subject.
"I let Hongtu go with you. That mecha only recognizes him. Even if I borrow it, no one else can control it."
Ouyang directly answered Sean's two questions.
Xiao En was stunned, and he pulled Ouyang aside and said in a low voice:
"Ouyang, are you kidding? He is a minor. I admit that the little guy is quite strong, but he is fighting alone. You are not facing one enemy on the battlefield."
"Of course I understand. So the previous plan has to be changed. You should try your best to help him break out and let him go to QSWL planet for help. This way the success rate will be higher."
Ouyang was also helpless. He originally wanted to borrow Lianyi's mecha for Sean, but Sean's mental strength had been damaged on the battlefield, falling from 3S to 2S. After years of recuperation and drug assistance, he only recovered to 2S+ and was unable to control the fourth-generation mecha at all.
He had to stay here to protect Hill and the remaining students, so he made this difficult decision.
He knew that the danger was very high, but this was not a very important satellite planet, and the garrison force was limited. If it were to be besieged, with the manpower and reserves of the garrison, it would not be able to hold out until Blue Star discovered something was wrong and sent support.
So he chose to take a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, he held his position and waited for support, and on the other hand, he sent people to break out and actively seek support.
Choosing Du Hongtu was also a helpless move, not only because he had the latest fourth-generation mecha, but also because this kid was thoughtful and calm, which were the characteristics a warrior needed to possess, and he had them all.
In addition, Hongtu's daily coordination and training with Sean's team will allow him to integrate into the team as quickly as possible, adding an extra layer of guarantee for completing the mission.
After listening to Ouyang's explanation, what else could Sean say? He could only call Du Hongtu over and start instilling their team's strategy and tactics into him, hoping to reach a tacit understanding before dark.
In the evening, the pirates launched another attack. This time, the base first used beam cannons to bombard the enemy, and then sent out heavy mechas to crush them all the way.
Because Lianyi had not returned to the team after leaving, the friends were a little worried, until Teacher Ouyang came back and learned that Lianyi had gone to assist Sean in performing another mission. Only then did they feel relieved and turned their attention to welcoming the retreating mecha.
"Kate, the secondary assembly of mechas you lead is very practical. As battles go on, the damage rate of mechas will be very high. You should select a small team to carry out secondary assembly to maximize the use of existing mechas.
The mecha maintenance department will also send some people to complete this task. Is there any problem with you, the old and the new, working together to complete this task?"
"Yes, teacher, we promise to complete the task."
Kate responded immediately, but her heart sank, because all the people in this garrison added up to only three thousand people, and among them were some people who could not go to the battlefield, such as logistics support, medical care, and mecha maintenance. So in this way, there were only more than two thousand people who could go to the battlefield.
Even though everyone currently has a mecha, they will have to activate a spare mecha if one is damaged. However, the spare mechas here are not equipped in a 1:1 ratio, which means that the longer they are trapped, the more difficult the situation will be. That's why Teacher Ouyang prepared for a rainy day and asked them to prepare spare mechas in advance.
Kate, who was worried, immediately turned around to select people without letting his friends see his thoughts. Now that Hongtu was not there, he had to stabilize everyone.
Ouyang, who was standing by, nodded with satisfaction after seeing Kate's orderly arrangements. She was worthy of being the leader of Class A. This kind of calmness was something that even people of his age did not have.
There were two battles within one day, and the opponent's offensive was not very fierce. Both sides were mainly testing each other. Everyone knew that they would not have much time left, so both sides were gearing up for battle.
Ouyang went to see Major General Nice and talked with him for a while. Although the major general was very opposed to letting Du Hongtu participate in the breakout, there was no better candidate at the moment.
"After interrogation, it was found that the sergeant major did betray the base, but he was forced to do so. His wife and children were kidnapped by the pirates, forcing him to follow their orders. In order to save his family's lives, he cooperated with them. He originally wanted to take your students away quietly, but now it has become a battle between the two sides. It's too late for him to regret it."
"This seems to be consistent with our previous analysis. The other party has been planning this for a long time. They kidnapped the family of the garrison sergeant and used this as a threat to him. Then the pirates should be very clear about the situation of our garrison, the number of garrisons, and the equipment status."
"Yes, this is the most difficult part. Based on today's battle situation, I think the pirates haven't sent out all their forces. Even though their manpower is equal to ours now, they can send more people. If our support can't arrive in time, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend this place."
Before Nice could finish his words, Ouyang understood what he meant.
"Now we can only hold on to our station. Those little guys have been mobilized, and we cannot lose momentum."
The soldiers stationed there handled the work at hand in an orderly manner. No one panicked, and no one backed down. They believed that the empire would not abandon them.
At this time, Lian Yi had already driven his mecha Lei Xi and circled to the other side of the satellite planet with Sean's team, preparing to leave on a small spaceship.
"Captain, I didn't find any ambush. Although there is nothing unusual, I still feel that something is wrong. You still have to be careful."
Sean's team's reconnaissance mecha sent back the news.
"Everyone should be vigilant and don't get blocked before leaving home."
Sean reminded in the team's public channel.
"Yes, Captain!"
Then a group of twelve people boarded a small spaceship, which started up and slid silently into the starry sky. Ripple's spiritual consciousness was also released at the same time.
Suddenly, her expression changed, and she said to Sean directly on the public channel:
"Captain, turn right, there's an ambush!"
There is one more chapter, which will be uploaded around ten o'clock!
