I Plunder Endlessly In the Interstellar Age

Chapter 143: soldiers approaching the city

After holding on for about 30 minutes, when the breakout troops were far away, Ao led the mecha brigade to retreat.

While walking, mines were laid along the way, blocking a long section of the road.

When the Marauders and the White Wolf star reorganized their formations to attack, pulled out the automatic firepower one by one, and prepared to continue the pursuit, the minefield played a huge role.

From time to time, a mecha or chariot was blown up, stopping the coalition forces from moving forward.

In the end, they could only bombard the ground with firepower to clear the mines quickly.

After confirming that the road ahead was safe, another 20 minutes passed, and Ao and the others had already walked away.

Now it's a bit unrealistic for them to continue chasing. The front is the control area of ​​the three star, with a defense system.

Not to mention the location will be exposed, there may be a lot of automatic firepower along the way.

In desperation, the coalition forces could only report to the headquarters, saying that they were lost, and asking for further instructions.

After understanding the general situation, the commander of the White Wolf Star asked the coalition forces to wait in place, and they needed to discuss the next plan.

In this way, after running for eleven hours, the breakout troops finally arrived at Base No. 4 in the middle of the night.

Chen Han, who got rid of the enemy planes, also returned with the remaining 12,000 fighter planes. The long-term battle exhausted all the energy and ammunition.

This also means that their breakout plan to cover the No. 3 base has come to a successful conclusion.

But the price paid was also huge, and only half of the 25,000 fighters returned.

Not to mention mechs and chariots, they lost a third of them.

Of the 200,000 people in Base No. 3, less than 130,000 are alive.

Twenty to thirty thousand soldiers and logistics were also captured.

Although they didn't die, their ending was probably worse than death.

After all, it fell into the hands of predators, and those people treated the captives much worse than Chen Han.

However, compared to being wiped out, this is already the best result, and the loss is minimized.

As for the White Wolf Star and the Predator, there were probably 50,000 various types of mechas missing, and most of them were killed by Chen Han and A Ao.

If it weren't for the lack of ammunition in the end, it is estimated that this number will be 10,000 to 20,000 more...

Feeling the pain in his head from connecting neurons for a long time, Chen Han felt a little unsteady.

Without hesitation, he took Chuxue and Ningbai back to the command building.

A Ao and the others who completed their respective tasks were already waiting inside.

"What's the reaction between White Wolf Star and the Predator?" Chen Han asked as soon as he entered the door.

If his guess is correct, as soon as the third base is gone, the White Wolf Star's next target will be the fourth base.

"After being ambushed, the pursuers camped in place. It is 1,200 kilometers away from us. They have not moved yet. Base No. 3 has been occupied by looters."

"According to the report of the scouts we sent out, the other two bases of White Wolf Star have dispatched troops, each with 20,000 troops, and they are gathering at the camp." Navigator No. 029 quickly reported.

Yesterday, Chen Han asked him to send a large number of scouts to lurk near the base of the White Wolf Star. He didn't expect it to work so soon.

"Looking at it this way, we're going to be surrounded." Miao Ying, who was leaning against the wall, sighed softly.

Although she was prepared in her heart, the speed of the enemy's attack was much faster than she expected.

"Sooner or later, but they didn't come to sneak attack when we rescued, which is quite unexpected." Chen Han continued.

When they all went out, there were only 10,000 troops in the base.

That was the best opportunity to attack, he was ready for the base to be bombed, who knew nothing would happen.

"Because our other two bases have also sent some fighters out, and they have been flying near the areas under their respective jurisdictions, putting pressure on them." Navigator No. 029 explained.

"If we are besieged, will the two bases come to support us?" Ning Bai raised his head and asked.

"No, now we are the base with the most troops, and they cannot protect themselves. As long as they dare to send troops, they will be attacked." Chen Han shook his head.

He knew very well that no one would help in the future, at most it would be a deterrent.

"That's right, after the breakout operation is over, there are only three bases left on the side of the Three Pleiades."

"Our No. 4 base has 70,000 troops, 180,000 logistics, and 100,000 prisoners."

"Base No. 1 and No. 2 have a total strength of less than 80,000 troops, but the logistics support is about 500,000, and there is no support capability." Chuxue said the detailed data she knew.

The other two bases are not only crowded, but also large, so it is not easy to defend them.

"Then how many troops will the enemy have to come and surround us?" Ke Ke rarely said a word.

"More than 200,000 people, including half of the White Wolf and half of the Marauders. Each person has one aircraft." Navigator No. 029 looked worried.

Originally, the Predator didn't have that many bodies.

But after the breakout battle, there were at least 70,000 to 80,000 broken mechas on the battlefield, enough for the marauders to scrape together and repair tens of thousands of mechas.

"With 200,000 units, it will be much easier for them to besiege other bases than us. Will they pretend to besiege us, but the actual target is another base?" Ning Bai continued to ask, eyes full of doubts.

"That's a very good question, and the possibility cannot be ruled out." Chen Han looked at Ning Bai and nodded appreciatively.

A base of 200,000 mechas besieging a base of 40,000 mechas is a sure win, but besieging a base of 70,000 mechas is still risky.

To be on the safe side, the people from White Wolf should indeed attack other bases first.

"Then why are they..." Ning Bai turned her head, she knew that Chen Han still had something to say.

"It's still the same problem. They will besiege other bases, and they will be attacked by us because we have surplus troops."

"But there is no such risk in besieging us, and other bases dare not come over."

"And they have a large number of captives in our hands. They definitely want to rescue these captives first." Chuxue answered for Chen Han.

"200,000 units is not easy to handle, boss, the combat effectiveness of these predators is not as bad as imagined..." Ao muttered.

When intercepting the enemy, he discovered that the predator's overall quality is relatively poor, and his personal strength is still there.

If he hadn't deployed defenses in advance according to Chen Han's order and had taken advantage of the right time and place, it would not have been so easy to block.

"As long as we operate properly, there is still a chance. As long as we withstand this wave, the space battlefield should be stable, and we can go back." Chen Han took a deep breath.

According to the last news from Nan Tian, ​​it is enough to last for three days, and there are still two days left.

"Give me an order, sir." The eyes of the navigator No. 029 were full of blazing fire.

After this battle, he has completely convinced Chen Han.

The decisions made by Chen Han were basically correct, as evidenced by the people who broke through from the No. 3 base.

Chuxue and the others also stood up straight and set their eyes on Chen Han.

If Chen Han before was just their friend, boss, and captain.

Recently, Chen Han has acted more like a leader, a chess player.

The battlefield is a chessboard, and the few of them and the soldiers outside are the chess pieces, and they are willing to be the chess pieces.

Looking around the crowd, Chen Han nodded, and said slowly: "Order! Everyone in Base No. 4 must complete the construction of defense lines in the east, west, and south directions within twelve hours."

"The line of defense must be able to block the rapid impact of tanks and mechas, build deep trenches and high forts near the main automatic firepower, and then lay mines to use all the resources we have at hand."

"What about the north side?" Ke Ke couldn't help asking.

She currently manages tens of thousands of engineering soldiers, and she is in charge of the defense line and automatic firepower.

"There is no need to build any defensive facilities on the north side, but the other three sides must at least ensure that the enemy cannot rush in for an hour." Chen Han and Ke Ke looked at each other.

"Got it." Coco nodded and stopped talking.

"Why? This will cause the enemy to move their main attack direction to the north, and our defense lines on the other sides may not be effective." Miao Ying hurriedly mentioned.

The other people were also full of doubts. It is impossible for Chen Han not to know the problem that they can all see.

"If that's the case, that's fine." Chen Han sighed softly.

Everyone looked at each other one after another, their expressions even more confused.

"Are you planning to give them the illusion that we are also going to break through?" Chuxue asked tentatively.

The more solid the defense line, the more it can block the enemy, it will also block itself.

If there are deep trenches and high fortifications on three sides, the vacant side will look more like a back road for evacuation.

"Well, with the example of No. 3 base, they will be wary that we will also break through and go to other bases."

"In this case, we will use this mentality to make them think that we will really break through, and thus deploy heavy troops to the north." Chen Han nodded.

"But won't the pressure from the north be too great? Sir, if the enemy rushes directly to the north, we may not be able to resist it." Navigator No. 029 still couldn't figure it out.

There is no line of defense in the north, and there are many enemies. It is simply to put the offensive loopholes in front of the enemy.

"If they dare to charge, then come, and all our troops will be deployed in the north." Chen Han sneered, "But I expect they will not dare to charge immediately, but they will feel that there may be fraud, and they need to understand first. Be clear about the situation."

Any commander with a brain would not attack rashly, especially when encountering some weird situations.

"All the troops? Don't people guard the other directions?!" Navigator No. 029 was obviously taken aback.

The base was besieged by the enemy, but all troops were put aside, a tactic he had never heard of.

"Yes, after the start of the war, all non-combatants will enter the curtain, and the other three sides will not let go of troops, and only rely on automatic firepower and defense lines, as long as they can last." Chen Han nodded affirmatively.

Their strength is already smaller than that of the enemy, and if they divide another ten thousand to twenty thousand on each side, it will only weaken their strength.

"The other three sides will last for at most two hours. The enemy will enter the base, and each curtain will be destroyed within an hour. The people inside..." Navigator No. 029 did not finish his sentence.

But everyone knows that once the base is breached, everyone inside the curtain will die or be captured.

"Then let's try to resolve the battle within three hours." Chen Han looked into the eyes of the navigator No. 029.

The navigator No. 029 was stunned and didn't react for a while.

"You want to fight them in the north?" Chuxue suddenly realized what Chen Han was going to do.

"Yes, relying on our strength, even if we disperse the normal defense, it is impossible to hold the No. 4 base for two days."

"In this case, it's better to use offense instead of defense, and lure their main force to a decisive battle. As long as they succeed, they will win." Chen Han leaned back and nodded his head lightly.

This is indeed his plan, and it is also the reason why the north is undefended. The attacker does not need a line of defense.

"How sure are you?" Chuxue took a deep breath and looked into Chen Han's eyes.

The main force that can defeat the opponent can indeed make a rescue.

But this is just an idea, and the difficulty of implementing it is too great to imagine.

"As long as they deploy no more than 120,000 troops in the north, we have a 20% chance of winning. The more people White Wolf Star stays in the north, the higher the chance of winning." Chen Han and Chuxue looked at each other.

He still has a hole card in his hand, which is aimed at White Wolf Star, but he doesn't know what effect it will have in practice.

"What if they deploy all their troops to the north like us?" Miao Ying frowned tightly and bit her lips.

"It's impossible. They need to send at least 60,000 troops to defend the other three directions. Even if there are 140,000 people in the north, we have a 10% chance of winning." Chen Han shook his head.

After these days of games, he also has a general understanding of the combat style of the commander of the White Wolf Star, and knows what those people will do.

"Then we have no way out, sir..." Navigator No. 029 gave a wry smile.

With three sides covered by deep trenches and high forts plus landmines, it is basically impossible to withdraw, and the remaining side is still full of enemies, which cut off all the back roads.

"Retire? Once the fourth base is gone, it means that you have lost this war."

"You can also tell everyone that once you enter Base No. 4, there is no way out."

"In this battle, it's either live or die, no retreat." Chen Han's tone was very firm.

"I understand, sir." Navigator No. 029 nodded emphatically.

"Finally, our plan must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be disclosed to anyone, so as to prevent people from the White Wolf Star from making preparations."

"Go to work~www.readwn.com~ Time is tight, you must control everything within 12 hours, and rest after finishing the work." Chen Han waved his hand.

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison and walked out one after another.

In this way, for the next period of time, the entire No. 4 base was busy busy.

Half of the people are responsible for building the defense line, and the other half are responsible for repairing the aircraft, replenishing ammunition, and preparing for the decisive battle.

Navigator No. 029 also conveyed Chen Han's meaning to everyone, this battle will not retreat, so that they all have the consciousness of mortal death.

From time to time, predator fighter planes came to harass them, but they were all repelled by Chen Han and the air defense firepower.

As for the White Wolf Star, after their reinforcements and supplies arrived, they began to slowly mobilize troops towards the No. 4 base.

The distance between the two places is only more than a thousand kilometers, and the speed of the fully mechanized army is still very fast.

In addition, many automatic firepower along the way were dismantled by Chen Han and moved back to the base, which did not cause any disturbance to them, and arrived nearby in about four hours.
