I rely on myself

Chapter 648: End of the first day and discussion

No matter how you look at it, the gap between the two sides is huge.

Gjallarhorn had the advantage in numbers, equipment, geography, and even logistical supplies. Anyone who saw this huge gap would think that the Tekkadan would be repelled quickly if they attacked the checkpoint so recklessly. But the reality was...

"What the hell is going on? Why can't I hit the target at all?!"

"You ask me! Who should I ask? I want to ask this question too!!!"

"Stop arguing! Everyone, stay in the bunkers and don't show your heads easily, or you'll get sniped!!"

"Sniper? That was just random shooting from the other side! What's going on? How can the other side's shooting be so accurate? It's either hitting vulnerable parts like joints or vital parts like the cockpit!"

Similar conversations continued to arise within Gjallarhorn's mobile engineering corps, but they were unable to come up with any useful answers and had no choice but to maintain the fierce artillery offensive in an attempt to suppress the Tekkadan's attempts to force a breakthrough. As for the effect... it could only be said that it was not very ideal.

It would be difficult for ordinary people to find a way to survive from the fierce and dense artillery fire with the naked eye, but it is completely different under the high-speed computer calculations.

In less than a second, the computer gave a perfect evasive route. The members of the Tekkadan didn't need to think. They could just follow this route and safely avoid the intensive artillery fire. They even had time to counterattack.

Even if some members fail to dodge completely due to slow reaction or mistakes, it generally won't be a big problem if the mobile engineer they are driving is hit.

The reason why the members of the Tekkadan performed so outstandingly was nothing else but the ballistic prediction program that Lin Yuan specially designed for everyone when they were on Mars and fought against Gjallarhorn for the first time.

Because it is a program, even if the mobile engineers driven by the Tekkadan members are newly purchased, the program can be directly copied over and loaded easily.

However, due to the lack of assistance from the Alaya-vijnana system, even if the program can calculate the best route, the driver still needs to operate it himself, instead of just following his feelings like he did on Mars.

This is also the reason why even with the trajectory prediction program, the Tekkadan still suffers casualties from time to time.

Of course, the trajectory prediction program not only enables the Tekkadan to survive better, it also provides great help in offense.

With their assistance, every member of the Tekkadan could almost be said to be a sharpshooter, able to shoot wherever they were pointed. As long as any of the mobile engineers on the Gjallarhorn's side popped out of the bunker, they would not let it go and would definitely fire a shell at it.

It was precisely because of these advantages that, even though there was a huge gap in numbers, equipment, terrain, and even logistical supplies, the Tekkadan still managed to suppress Gjallarhorn's troops for a time, and even almost succeeded in opening a breakthrough.

However, they were eventually stopped by Gjallarhorn who filled the gap at all costs. After such a thrilling experience, Gjallarhorn no longer dared to underestimate the Tekkadan and directly sent some of the troops guarding other checkpoints to support them. Although Olga and the others wanted to try to attack again to see if they could open a breakthrough, after all, they almost succeeded before.

Unfortunately, at this moment the enemy's support arrived, and the more calm and composed Bisquet also persuaded them that after fighting for so long, their people were tired, and it was getting late, so they should go back and rest.

After hearing Bisquet's persuasion and seeing the enemy's reinforcements, Olga finally gave up and decided to take a rest first. After all, it was just like Bisquet said.

Continuing the fight would be disadvantageous for them, so Olga would naturally not make such an unwise decision. Looking at the retreat of the Tekkadan, Gjallarhorn had no intention of pursuing them.

After all, they were beaten so badly in the defensive battle, not to mention the field battle, so the self-aware commander Gjallarhorn told his subordinates not to pursue.

After all, the order they received was only to stop the Tekkadan from entering the city with Makino and Kudelia, and it did not say that they must defeat the Tekkadan.

If there is an opportunity, they certainly don't mind completing it, but if not, they won't be too persistent.

At night, the warehouse that served as a temporary base was brightly lit. Most of the Tekkadan members were busy repairing the mobile engineers. After all, after such a long battle during the day, there might be some problems. In order to avoid failure at the critical moment, everyone was repairing the system seriously.

Olga and her team did the same thing, except that they were not inspecting the mobile engineers, but were discussing ways to enter the city of Edmonton.

However, after some discussion, the results were not very good.

"Anyway, after investigation, we found that all the intersections leading into Edmonton city are blocked by Gjallarhorn. It can be said that there is no possibility of sneaking in. As for forcing the passage open, we can only suppress it to a certain extent with the combat power we can mobilize. Once there are signs of loss, the enemy will immediately call for reinforcements from nearby companions and will not give us any chance at all."

Bisquet first briefly summarized the situation during the day. After listening to it, everyone looked troubled. They had no good solution to the current dilemma. Only Olga, after a little thought, proposed a possibility.

"Then if that's the case, is it feasible for us to use a quick attack method? Before the enemy reinforcements arrive, use all our strength to break through in one go. Is it possible to successfully open a breakthrough before then and send people into the city?"

As soon as Olga put forward this proposal, everyone else felt that it was very feasible and looked at Bisquet. Bisquet also closed his eyes and seriously thought about the feasibility of Olga's method.

After a long while, Bisquet finally came back to his senses, opened his eyes again, shook his head expressionlessly and said to everyone, "Unfortunately, this method won't work. It's not that this method is completely unfeasible, but I'm afraid that Gjallarhorn has already been alerted. After all, we almost broke through their defenses during the day. After experiencing that kind of thing, they may have thought of this possibility and are extremely vigilant about it. So, in general, this method won't work."
