Chapter 294
The loss caused by just one mecha can be described as shocking.Major General Linton, who has now taken over the military command of the entire region, has no way to blame the guards of the major factories and other institutions for stagnation. Moya has been carrying out the adjustment of the arms to accommodate the non-commissioned officers who have been abolished from the secondary units.It wasn't an elite force in the first place, and the quality of training plummeted after being incorporated into this kind of second- and third-line troops, so it didn't make people expect much.You can't expect some soldiers who clock in every day and live at home to perform well.

The 9903 Research Institute reported that the attackers had kidnapped an important federal technician, which made Linton wonder whether the federal technician had actually defected from the federation.But, who cares, among the countless things that are burnt out today, this is just one that is not within his purview.Linton had previously coordinated the police's actions, reducing the number of people sent to search for the convenience store robber to 40, using technical means to assist in tracking rather than a large number of people searching aimlessly.Regarding the many traffic accidents in the city, he demanded to do everything possible to ensure the passage of the army, and immediately destroy and dispose of the incapable vehicles. Refrigerant tank trucks have nothing to do...

However, gradually putting all the things together, he finally had a little understanding: today's situation can definitely be managed by someone.Although many places cannot be connected with each other, making people unable to see the whole picture of the matter, there is no doubt that this is a conspiracy.Major General Linton has ordered the local military intelligence department to conduct a detailed investigation.

However, for Major General Linton, the top priority is to catch that mecha and that robot dog.Judging from the current situation, Major General Linton still has doubts about the situation reported by several parties.Although everyone said that it was a sneak attack by the federal organization to destroy Moya's Cerberus project, in fact, the only ones with clear video evidence are the mech and the robot dog.The assailants had done too much damage to the surrounding camera system beforehand.And that mecha has never appeared before, and even the design style is different from the mechas used by the Federation before.Linton didn't quite believe that the Federation would invest brand-new weapons in this kind of battlefield behind enemy lines. Once it fell into the hands of the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.Such adventures do not appear to be necessary for the now dominant Federation in all respects.

Of course, this is another matter outside the purview of Linton.He is now assigning a light armored battalion to pursue along the way. The whole battalion is divided into three parts, advancing side by side, keeping a relatively tight distance between each other, at most 4 blocks, so that when the pursuit is still within the city, there is no distance between each other. Time can provide timely support to avoid being broken by the opponent one by one.In addition, an entire helicopter squadron is attacking with all their strength. Their mission is not to eliminate, but to find and track.Just use the searchlight to stare at the opponent to indicate the target to the ground troops.

Linton's gaze stayed on the direction marked on the map with the vast forest in the south of Sidney.It was not beyond his expectation that the other party fled in this direction. Fighting in the jungle has been a gamble that both sides of the war have often faced since ancient times.However, Linton still wanted to hinder the other party, hoping that they would not get into the woods so easily.He purposely sent six heavy transport helicopters carrying more than 100 special forces in that direction.

If Linton dealt with ordinary situations, his subordinates could be said to be swift and immediate, almost invulnerable.But at the moment Linton himself didn't have much confidence.

The high-speed fleeing mech appeared and disappeared, and the chasing troops couldn't bite the opponent at all. Basically, as soon as it came into contact, the opponent retreated after a short exchange of fire with its extremely strong mobility.Sometimes it's just that the robot dog appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the chasing troops confirmed that it didn't seem to be lost.Although it seemed that the opponent's running speed was only a few tens of kilometers, there was a relaxed and comfortable feeling of elusiveness, which made Linton wonder if his troops were being sneaked by the enemy to contain them.However, Linton didn't have many chances to change his tactics.If in the wild, out of the city limits, he can order shelling or bombing, and use covering fire to force the opponent out.But now it is still on the outskirts of the city. Although it is not densely populated, factories and residences are everywhere. Once shelled, most of the people killed and injured are Moya citizens.Linton could imagine that some people must be able to make such a determination, such as Ludwig, but he couldn't.

However, after changing the route of pursuit and outflanking several times in a row, the opponent easily dodged it, and Linton was also extremely annoyed by maintaining a visible distance but not entering the engagement.Although he was able to mobilize all the nearby troops, and even go directly to the higher-level military region to ask for various supports, at least the resources in his hands are extremely limited at present, with only two regiments more.The armored regiment was already behind the estimated enemy, and now they couldn't make a move. The other troops also dispersed, some had already entered their positions, and some were still rushing to this side.Although the city of Sidney is impressive and huge, it still has a certain scale after all.Whether this encirclement can trap the enemy, to be honest, Linton has no confidence at all. He actually doesn't know where the enemy is at all.

Glancing at the fairly clear photo of the enemy pressed on the table, Linton had to smile wryly.

The correspondent reported to Lintonhui: "General, the head of the military region is calling."

"Give it to me." Linton took the phone from the communicator and said seriously, "I'm Linton, asking for instructions."

"What's the situation now?" The commander of the military region didn't mean to greet, but asked directly.

"It hasn't changed much from the report just now. It hasn't broken away or engaged in battle. It's just a state of pursuit. But it's not normal for this state to last for so long. I suspect that the other party is deliberately attracting us. The area where we can use strong firepower is not far away. It's far away, let's see when the time comes." Linton explained.

"Very well, let's continue. I know you are in a difficult situation. Perhaps, you should first focus on sealing off and searching the forest area. There are too many restrictions in the urban area, so it is better to focus on What happened afterward."

Linton was silent for a while, and said: "Commander, the opponent is a mecha. If the mountain warfare is still carried out in the search mode, our losses will be unimaginable."

"But there is no way." The commander of the military region seemed a little helpless, and said, "Just now I rejected the suggestion of the Presidential Palace. Their opinion is to create a loose encirclement circle, encircle the enemy inside, and wait for the mech troops to solve the problem." Said that Lyons's unit is ready to go and can arrive at any time." The military commander said with a cold snort.

"They really think that mechas are omnipotent." Linton sneered, "I don't think they can keep up with the battle. The opponent's purpose is very clear, and they have captured three people with extremely high intelligence value. I don't think I have The troops have enough time to arrange such a defensive circle."

"Yes." The commander of the military region obviously didn't understand what was going on in the minds of the people in the presidential palace, but he didn't care too much.Regarding Moya's mech unit, he really felt that it was not easy and important to set up, but the gap between Moya's mecha and the Federation's was really obvious. "So you don't have to worry too much about this, I won't make it difficult for you. I just need you to try your best to catch the other party. This matter... Since the other party has the courage to attack Sidney City, they are naturally very confident in their abilities , the troops you command, I understand, are really not that good. Do your best. I have tried every means to mobilize the troops, and directly airdropped and laid mines in the southern jungle. In addition, it happens that the third and ninth fleets are in this direction. We will also work together to support. The entire search and attack operation will be handed over to you starting at 8:[-] tomorrow morning, are you confident?"

Major General Linton trembled all over, it was excitement.He didn't expect that the responsibility of leading such a complex and huge army would fall on himself.Although he is indeed an important general that the military is focusing on training, he is only a veteran of the position of garrison commander in Sidney City. Sooner or later he will enter the main battle force, but he did not expect this day to come so soon.After commanding a synthetic force of this size, as long as his coordination ability is not too bad, he may be directly promoted.This level of command power itself is a way of assessment by the military.

"General, the enemy has left the battle, and the troops in front have lost their target." The communicator lowered his voice and reported.

Finally... the enemy probably saw that he had almost reached the ground, and he might be bombarded if he didn't leave, so he took the initiative to speed up and leave.Not everyone can have this keen sense of the battlefield.Major General Linton immediately relayed the news to the commander of the military region.But the voice of the commander of the military region did not even tremble: "I don't care about this, I just want the final result. Are you confident?"

Major General Linton was ruthless, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes. Please look at my performance, General."

Linton turned over the map and studied it carefully, his eyes had already set on the jungle area.From the moment the opponent disengaged at this time and distance, he knew that the opponent's tactical sensitivity was extremely strong, and he had a very good grasp of the situation and situation of the command of the troops.This is by no means something that can be trained in the combat command positions of the so-called special forces. The sense of distance and space, the comprehensive judgment of the number of troops, the function of each system, the range of fire, etc. are the most critical.I have never seen such a tactically aware raider... This is Linton's feeling.Therefore, he thought it might as well start from another angle: How would a person with great tactical awareness arrange for his combat team to leave safely?The enemy's main point is our main point.Maybe it's too late to set up an ambush, but the encounter is still very promising.

Scanning the map, after all, something called confidence rose in Linton's heart.
