Chapter 145 Battle Makes Me Happy 27
Izos was eventually captured after being surrounded by Zaku.
Before being captured, he put up a fierce resistance. Apart from the cockpit being intact, the other parts of the mech had been blown up or cut off.
In a moment of desperation, Izos contacted all the pilots of the Imperial Army's Zaguri and revealed his identity.
But the Imperial Army, having received no prior notice, naturally did not believe his words and attacked or captured those who needed to be captured.
It wasn't that the Imperial Army didn't want to kill Izos, but rather that Izos was lucky; he was saved by Sislia when he was on the verge of death.
Sislia's current status is relatively low, as she is only a low-ranking soldier and no one in the Imperial Army listens to her.
She had to turn to her family's influence to quickly report the situation to her superiors. Only after receiving orders from their superiors did the Imperial Army's driver release the dying Izos and take him back into custody.
Cecilia followed back with concern. There was no point in her staying on the battlefield. As the eldest daughter of the Wilson family, she didn't need to fight on the front lines. She could stay in the rear to provide support.
I don’t know if it was because of Qiu Tong’s influence in this life, but Sislia is not like she was in her previous life, willing to fight on the front line and compete for military merit.
What Qiu Tong knows so far is all from her interactions with her and what she saw during Xiao Fu's broadcasts.
This shows that her current behavior is completely different from that of Sislia in the original owner's memories.
Although she has her own mech in the Imperial Army, the chances of it being deployed are very low.
Apart from the time she had a secret rendezvous with Izos and her appearance during this general offensive, Sislia has never flown in a mech.
This made Qiu Tong suspect that Sislia had been switched with someone else, and that she had absolutely no resemblance to the cool and sassy girl from her previous life.
The only explanation is that Qiu Tong's arrival changed the fate of everyone in this life, especially all the Chinese soldiers who were originally going to die in this battle.
Only after Qiu Tong's new model mecha was recovered did she have time to check on Izusi's situation.
It turns out that while they were dealing with the new type of mech, the layout in other areas changed.
First, in Izos, all frontline combat personnel were withdrawn to support the defense of various warships.
Secondly, all Chinese warships took the initiative to move forward and advance to the range of the Yangzi cannon, but at the same time stopped at a safe distance.
At least under full firepower, even if the new model mech is hit, there is no chance of friendly fire.
Finally, all the Yangzi cannons on the warships were concentrated to attack the Imperial Army's new model mechs. Once the new model mechs were hit, the explosive power was comparable to a nuclear bomb.
The Imperial warships that were nearby were directly affected by the blast; without the Chinese warships attacking them, they were destroyed by the aftershocks of the explosions from the new mechs on their side.
This is like shooting yourself in the foot. These well-equipped mechs, which are practically bug-like, are wasted because of the incompetent commander.
The Imperial Army actually sent all the new models of mechs to the Chinese Army. The Chinese Army was worried about the nuclear explosion, so they were hesitant to attack. The Imperial Army's chances of winning were absolutely 100%.
Unfortunately, they were too arrogant, believing that the Zaku alone could annihilate the Chinese army. After all, they still had the Chinese army's deployment map, only they didn't know that the deployment map was fake.
They even went so far as to smugly deploy a small number of their new mechs to the Chinese army, just to show them the Empire's military strength.
The new Imperial mechs that approached were the safest in this battle. In order not to harm them, they were not only protected from being accidentally shot by the Imperial army by the Chinese mechs, but the Chinese mechs surrounding the warships also refrained from attacking their cockpits.
On the contrary, they unleashed fierce firepower, relentlessly attacking the Chinese warships in an attempt to annihilate them as quickly as possible.
The Imperial Army believed that as long as the command tower—the Chinese warship—was destroyed, the other mechs were no threat and could be easily wiped out. Therefore, they concentrated their firepower on the Chinese warship.
If the Empire hadn't been so afraid of losing the new model of mechs that it only sent a few to aid the Zaku, the Chinese army wouldn't have been able to use human wave tactics to subdue the new model of mechs.
Although the Chinese army's mechs defeated the Imperial army's new model mechs, they also paid a heavy price.
To protect the Yangzi cannon, the Chinese warships used other parts of their hulls to block enemy fire.
The ship's hull was riddled with holes by the firepower of the new mechs, leaving no part intact.
Many of the Chinese mechs also sacrificed themselves to protect the ship, and the ship was pierced in several places, with items and personnel inside being sucked out of the ship.
Before the battle, everyone changed into spacesuits. If they were lucky, they would survive drifting in space and wait for rescue after the battle.
Those who are unlucky may be killed by the mechs in battle, or be caught in the crossfire when the ship is destroyed.
In short, although the Chinese army won this battle, it also paid a heavy price.
The Imperial Army fared even worse; the new mechs they sent were either captured or completely destroyed.
Apart from the command ship, which remained safe in a rear position, none of the other warships and mechs that went to the front lines survived.
Upon hearing this news, the Imperial Army's upper echelons were furious, their faces grim as they watched the Imperial Army's warships being destroyed by the new type of mechs.
They monitored the entire process remotely from Earth, and by the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Wei Junchuan, sitting among them, looked even uglier. His new model of mechs, into which he had poured so much effort, had been completely wiped out. How could he possibly have a good expression?
However, someone's face was even more grim than his: the head of the Wilson family, Aranti Wilson, Sislia's father.
On the surface, he is the developer of the new model of mechs, but this loss has dealt a heavy blow to the Wilson family.
Both economically and in terms of social standing, they have suffered a severe blow.
The empire's supreme leader pointed at Aranti and yelled, "You promised the strongest mech! Is this what you call the strongest? Look at the state of our fleet! It's practically wiped out!"
Besides the command ship, what else survived? Admiral Wilson, I demand a reasonable explanation from you and the entire nation.
Aranti knew the seriousness of the situation, but he refused to take the blame and shifted all responsibility onto the frontline commanders.
"President Alexa, you can't blame me for this. I did build the strongest mechs. You've seen the reports on those mechs yourself."
It's clear that the problem lies with the frontline command, which led to the near annihilation of our army. You should ask Commander Curry about that; he was the one directing operations on the ground.
Alexa didn't believe his story. Everyone knew Curry was one of his men, and without his orders, Curry would have deployed all the new mechs.
It wasn't because he was afraid that his new model mechs would suffer serious damage and cause huge losses that he didn't let Curry send all the mechs to the enemy camp.
It was a golden opportunity to take over China, but because of his stupidity, he squandered it.
In order to give an explanation to the families of the fallen soldiers, someone must be chosen today to take full responsibility.
However, the Wilson family is one of the Empire's main sources of income, and they cannot be allowed to be brought down for the time being.
Since Curry is Aranty's right-hand man, and this incident was caused by his mismanagement, then he should use Curry to quell the public's anger.
"Then dismiss Curry and send him to a military court. Your Wilson family also bears responsibility; you and Wei Junchuan are ordered to clean up this mess."
We've heard that we can't get in touch with our spies planted in the Chinese army. What's going on?
Alexa's next question was directed at Wei Junchuan, who is usually in charge of this kind of work.
"Robbock and his men had already lost contact before the war and were probably killed."
However, we rescued Izos, who was planted in the enemy camp.
"Whatever you wish to know, I can ask Izos for you."
Alexa frowned and asked with displeasure, "What do you mean by 'probably sacrificed'? I need confirmed information, not vague guesses."
Try to find out from that Yi Zuosi why China suddenly changed its defense deployment. Could it be that the deployment map they gave us was fake?
No matter what, go and investigate. I refuse to believe that our great American empire can't beat them.
Do any other generals have anything to add? If not, the meeting is adjourned.
Unlike the tense atmosphere on the Empire's side, the Chinese army was currently regrouping on the battlefield. Victory did not bring them joy; instead, the entire army was enveloped in an atmosphere of grief.
Those who lost family members or comrades-in-arms wept bitterly while holding the recovered bodies.
Some bodies cannot be found, so people can only mourn them by looking at their belongings or photos.
Although we won the battle, we still lost many soldiers.
Ashley and Edith, who lived in Qiu Tong's dormitory, also perished in this battle, and Li Li was sadly sorting through their belongings.
