Fatty has landed. Coordinates 1045.2207. Safe. Those who come later, close in on me."
[Fatty] is Yuri's well-deserved nickname. Originally, Rashid wanted to call him [Despicable Man], but the fat man firmly refused. He said, "Either call me hero or call me fat man."
There is no such despicable hero. Your medal proves nothing. Everyone said, then just call you fat man.
Deputy leaders are generally the elites among scouts. In a squad operation, the deputy squad leader walks at the front. In a platoon operation, the deputy platoon leader walks at the front. Of course, deputy battalion commanders and above are definitely not included. That is to say, in an operation, the highest military rank walking at the front is deputy company commander.
Yuri, who thinks this is very absurd, opened the cockpit door and spat hard. The air outside has a damp smell. The mechas of the first company are landing one after another in the sky. The boosters on the mechas are turned to the maximum, making a booming sound. The rapidly falling mechas seem to be lifted by an invisible hand about fifty meters above the ground. That is the effect of the recoil force of the booster acting on the ground.
These mechas are the best standard equipment of the Lerry Federal Republic. Due to the special nature of special forces, almost all weapons and mechas that can be mass-equipped will be provided to special forces first.
The mechas equipped by the first company have three models. The most are the seventh-generation Warrior mechas. This is a single-soldier mecha but has extremely high mobility and defense capabilities, enough to compete with the sixth-generation medium mechas. Ordinary soldiers drive the general model of Warrior Pioneers, while Rashid drives the exact same Leader as the special forces battalion commander Grant. This is what he got from Nadal. Nadal uses his private mecha. The mecha has been professionally modified and equipped with many personalized configurations. Its combat effectiveness is higher than that of standard mechas.
There is also a medium-sized anti-joint quadruped beast-type mecha used by the communication squad. The two mechas with the military name [Antenna] are mainly used to maintain communication with the rear and coordinate with the air force. In battle, the biggest role of this kind of mecha is electromagnetic interference. It can cut off the communication between the enemy and attack electronic equipment such as radars, mecha computers, scanners, and locators, causing them to be paralyzed or in chaos.
The last one is the Wrath-class heavy fire support mecha. The first company is equipped with a total of four such mechas. Wrath is also a seventh-generation mecha. It is a reduced version of the sixth-generation heavy mecha. The reduction in volume brings an increase in strength. This mecha that can carry five people is equipped with a curved-fire artillery, three energy machine guns, a missile launcher. The fuselage is made of stronger alloy. The external armor has extremely strong defense and is equipped with a large energy shield. Basically, it can be said to be a mobile fortress with fierce firepower.
Originally, Yuri was also equipped with a Warrior-level Pioneer, but he firmly refused. So, the only private mecha in the first company is Fatty's "Logic." For the new deputy company commander who dares to risk his life and drive such a dilapidated mecha onto the battlefield, the soldiers of the first company are very admiring.
Yuri stared closely at the scanner and radar of Logic. There were no signs of enemy mechas appearing around. However, this quiet mountain jungle will soon be filled with the swarming mechas of the Gacharin Empire. They must evacuate this area within ten minutes.
The airborne assembly of the first company is swift and silent. Every one of these battle-tested special reconnaissance soldiers knows what they should do and how to do it. The mechas with the boosters turned off silently gather towards Yuri's location in the jungle. Only when some larger mechas force their way through the dense trees will there be the sound of branches breaking.
Two minutes after landing, Logic's mecha computer issued a crisp prompt. The two [Antennas], four [Wrath], seventy-seven Warrior Pioneers, and one Warrior Leader of the first company have all arrived.

Yuri handed over the command signal to Rashid through the mecha computer. Rashid waved his hand, and the gathered mechas immediately dispersed. Two mechas formed a group, one in front and one behind. Three groups formed a column. The whole team became a long snake that could coil up at any time. There were vanguards responsible for protection at the front, rear, and on both flanks. The whole company marched rapidly towards the destination on the mecha electronic map.
There is a blind spot scanned by a space spy satellite about fifty kilometers west of the airborne point. This place that is pitch-black on the satellite military map must be equipped with anti-detection jammers. And this location is between two cities surrounded by the empire. It is thirty kilometers north and south respectively. There is a highway passing by it. The most likely is the enemy's air force base.
Radar and electronic jamming facilities are generally not set up close to the highway. The Federal Air Force has always suspected that this place is an anti-aircraft missile base rebuilt after being established when the enemy's giant transport ship landed. Because the missiles intercepted several times by the two cities in the north and south were launched from this direction. So, a mixed temporary air force base plus missile base is the preliminary judgment of the federal military intelligence department on this black spot. This judgment is already tempting enough to send a special company to attack it.
However, no matter how Yuri looks at it, this place is a bit strange. If it is really an air force or missile base, no matter which one it is, the airborne would not be so smooth. But if it's not these two types, what could it be?
Soon, they are less than ten kilometers away from the target. Platoon leader Jason of the third platoon stayed behind with his platoon and was responsible for acting as the backup force. At the moment when Rashid's order was given, they quickly formed a circular defensive formation. The vanguards responsible for external observation automatically entered the warning position five hundred meters away. Since the operation started, Yuri has been observing these subordinates he has only known for a few hours. The performance of these soldiers convinces him that he is in a well-trained team. What these soldiers tempered by the fire of war show is a silent determination. They are decisive in judgment, swift in action, and their tactical movements are standard but not rigid.
One [Antenna] and one [Wrath] automatically separated and stayed behind to cooperate with the defense. The others continued to advance almost without pause.
Entering the range of the jammer, they may encounter enemy patrols at any time. Yuri and three Warrior Pioneers walked at the front. They must ensure the safety of the team's progress. The fat man chose a small hillside on the southeast side of the base. From here, he can overlook the entire base from a commanding position.
The two platoons of special reconnaissance soldiers unreservedly trusted the fat man's choice. They drove their mechas into stealth mode and followed the dilapidated mecha in front as it turned left and right. Everyone felt very strange. This mecha that emitted black smoke and made clanging noises during the day is now like a feline animal approaching its prey in the jungle. Its movements are gentle and silent. If they weren't close, they would almost lose track of it. This dilapidated mecha seems to have merged into the jungle in the night. This phenomenon makes the fat man even more mysterious in their eyes.
Under Yuri's leadership, they have penetrated deep into an area only about one kilometer away from the base. Along the way, the dilapidated mecha at the front constantly fired concentrated heavy particles that penetrated through hollow big trees or underground caves one by one. Without exception, there are enemy hidden sentries inside. These hidden sentries are silently killed in an instant. Without armor protection, their body organs will be instantly damaged under the penetration of concentrated heavy particles.
But who would have thought that a concentrated heavy particle machine gun would appear in the hands of a mecha?
The soldiers of the special reconnaissance company following behind also didn't expect it. They just felt that this journey was abnormally smooth. Generally speaking, five kilometers from the target is already the shortest distance for them to launch a surprise attack usually.
The radar of Logic detected the enemy's mecha patrol. This is a team composed of an Imperial Iceman I mecha and a squad of infantry. They are patrolling parallel to the base wall. In ten minutes, this slow-moving patrol will reach the location where the fat man and the others are.
The base one kilometer away is still silent in the night. There is no sound of fighter jets taking off or transport ships taking off and landing. This does not conform to the characteristics of a battlefield airport. Whether to launch a strong attack or not is up to Rashid to decide.
Yuri stopped. The mechanical arm of Logic was raised high and clenched into a fist.
After everyone hid, the signal was handed back to Rashid.
One minute later.
The Leader mecha issued an order for a full-scale surprise attack.
