Chapter 1019: The battle was lost, Gu Chen arrived

Since the Earth Defense Force has already popularized mechanized automated troops, the number of armed personnel needed to fight on the front line battlefield is not large.

Under the command of Yuutarou Asahina, the few combatants on the battlefield began to retreat in an orderly manner. There were no passionate young men who disobeyed orders and shouted that they wanted to fight the monster to the death.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current battlefield is not one where they can win the battle by fighting to the death. Didn’t they see that even the ZAT team with the most advanced weapons and equipment could not cause any fatal damage to Patton?

"Captain Asahina, this place is not safe, you should also evacuate to a safe area!"

A captain of the ground forces saw that Asahina Yutaro was still staying in the bunker and had no intention of retreating, so he stepped forward and reminded him.

"You go first. I will stay here to cover you. At the same time, I will continue to observe the situation on the battlefield and issue appropriate orders."

Asahina Yuutarou operated the remote control system in the bunker without even turning his head, controlling the firepower facilities that had not been destroyed by Patton's fire to attack Patton.

"Captain Asahina..."

Seeing this, the captain of the ground force did not act pretentiously. He saluted Asahina Yutaro and then quickly evacuated along the evacuation passage.

The ZAT team has the best welfare benefits in the entire Earth Defense Force. Since the people in this team enjoy the best treatment, they must also bear the heaviest responsibilities accordingly.

Unless there is no other way, members of the ZAT team must fight to the last moment.

At present, the battle plan formulated by the ZAT team has not been declared a failure, so as the commander-in-chief on the battlefield, Asahina Yutaro must hold the line and advance and retreat with his teammates.

As for people from other troops, the requirements are not as high.

However, ZAT's offensive has now begun to weaken.

When there is sufficient firepower, the fire coverage can indeed cause some minor troubles to Patton. For example, the impact, sound, light and smoke produced by the explosion can disrupt Patton's vision and hearing.

However, as time went on, a large number of firepower facilities were directly detonated under Patton's fire attack, leaving a gap in the ZAT team's firepower coverage.

Even if the Tianjing and other fighters seized the opportunity to launch Saturn Z missiles at Patton, they only made Patton stagger.

At this point in the battle, the nerves of the ZAT team were stretched to the limit.

The faces of the team members flying the fighter jets were covered with sweat, but they didn't dare to wipe it off, for fear that such a small movement would make them miss the best time to attack or dodge.

"Captain, the ammunition is running out, please give instructions!"

"Captain, the laser system has run out of energy, please give instructions!"

"Captain, the ground fire coverage system is 90% damaged and cannot maintain normal operation. Please give instructions!"

"Captain, all ground troops have been evacuated!"

One piece of information after another was transmitted to Asahina Yuutarou's ears from every corner of the battlefield, causing this captain of the ZAT team, who had rich combat experience, was both calm and brave, to frown tightly with a serious look on his face.

The intensity of the current battlefield is basically the same as when the TAC team fought against the super beasts.

When he thought of this, Asahina Yuutarou couldn't help but admire the bravery of the TAC team.

This was the first time that their ZAT team had encountered a battle of this intensity, but almost every battle the TAC team had experienced was this intense.

Asahina Yuutarou's thoughts began to wander, and as his attention was distracted, the violent vibration knocked his body to the ground.

It turned out that Patton's fire destroyed the firepower facility closest to the bunker, and the shock wave generated by the explosion caused the bunker to vibrate violently.

Fortunately, this bunker was strong enough and did not collapse in the earthquake, but the terrible thing was that the retreat passage collapsed in the earthquake just now and was blocked tightly.

“This is really fatal…”

Asahina Yuutarou shook his head which was a little dizzy from the shock, and looked at the tightly blocked retreat passage, muttering softly.

"Captain, are you okay?!"

Outside, the team members saw a violent explosion at a firepower facility near the bunker where Yutaro Asahina was located, and immediately shouted loudly on the team's communication channel to confirm the safety of Yutaro Asahina.

"I'm fine, just focus on the battle." Asahina Yuutarou sat up from the ground, and without looking at the blocked retreat passage, he stood up and looked at the battlefield through the bunker, and then said: "If the ammunition is insufficient, take turns to return to the headquarters for replenishment. The logistics department has already made preparations early in the morning."

"learn!"

When the team members heard Asahina Yuutarou's voice, they immediately felt relieved.

Immediately, the Tianjing took the lead in returning to the base to replenish ammunition, while the Condor and Chaoyan continued to contain Patton on the battlefield.

However, without the Tianjing and the firepower facilities on the ground, the pressure on the Shenying and Chaoyan increased sharply when facing Patton.

On the other hand, Patton's pressure suddenly decreased. Without the dazzling artillery attacks and huge roars, his attacks became more and more accurate.

Even though the ZAT members who were piloting the Condor and Super Swallow had already demonstrated their driving skills beyond their capabilities, they were in danger several times due to Patton's fire attacks.

"Nahara! Nishida! Be careful!"

On the Chaoyan, Tetsuya Kitajima looked at the Shenying that was almost hit, and couldn't help but speak up with lingering fear to remind him.

"Beidao, you should be careful, the monster is looking in your direction!"

The voice of Tadao Minamihara came from the headset, and it seemed that he wanted to relieve the pressure accumulated in his heart through such communication.

The next second, a pillar of fire came. Kitajima Tetsuya did not think twice and immediately moved the joystick. He gritted his teeth and withstood the G-force generated by the high-speed movement of the Super Swallow, trying his best to dodge Patton's attack.

On the other side, the Condor took advantage of Patton's attack on the Super Swallow and immediately poured its few laser cannons at it.

But they didn't notice that at the edge of the battlefield, a Wild Wolf 777 tank was driving towards the center of the battlefield.

"Advisor, your team members are really amazing."

Zoffy sat in the passenger seat, looking at the situation on the battlefield through the windshield, and praised sincerely.

"Don't praise them. They don't like praise."

Gu Chen turned the steering wheel, and the Wild Wolf 777 tank drifted and turned a corner, shortening the distance to the center of the battlefield.

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the Chao Yan was unable to dodge and was hit directly on one of its wings by the flames spewed out by Patton.

In an instant, the high temperature flames instantly detonated the engine and weapon system on the wing.
