Chapter 1533 Time Waits for No One
The Alliance's regiment is not small, with 1,500 to 1,800 main combatants. For a reinforced regiment, 3,000 to 4,000 people are normal.
However, they were carrying out a search and inspection mission this time, and even if the reinforcements arrived later, the mission was considered a "mopping up" mission.
Since it was not a large-scale, protracted battle, the main combatants had not yet arrived, and the logistics and other auxiliary arms were not well equipped.
As for Qu Jianlei's side, only a squadron participated in the battle this time. It was almost impossible to clean up such a large battlefield quickly.
So he could only send all the enemy starships to the division-level ship and grab them with mechanical arms.
Fortunately, the division-level ship was large enough and there were enough mechanical arms, otherwise it would be difficult to manage.
Then, the soldiers of the Imperial Army began to clean up the battlefield and look for the lifeboats or space mechas that were ejected after the starships were damaged.
In this process, there were still people who did not want to be captured, so the result... there was no need to say more.
Because Qu Jianlei and his team had confirmed through eavesdropping that a large number of reinforcements from the Alliance would arrive in half a day.
So they didn't have much time to clean up the battlefield, and it was definitely not easy to clean up such a large battlefield.
But they couldn't let the other side go, and the specific information of today's battle... should be concealed as much as possible.
Fortunately, although the squadron was small, there were still about 300 people, and they could borrow small ships from the division-level ships.
In addition, with the assistance of unmanned small ships, the speed of cleaning the battlefield was not slow.
In addition to searching for living people, the damaged starships had to be blasted twice to try to clear any useful information.
It took more than two hours just to clean up the battlefield.
At the same time, the colonel personally brought more than 50 people to the division-level ship and captured prisoners one by one.
Some of the alliance soldiers were really not afraid of death and hid in the starship to resist stubbornly.
The imperial soldiers were already very careful, but they were not careful for a while, and there was still a situation of one death and three injuries.
In view of this, Qu Jianlei had to scan with his spiritual sense himself, and let the imperial soldiers kill directly if he found something wrong.
But it was precisely because of this that he actually found a supreme on an assault ship.
This supreme commander was the brigadier commander. Seeing that things were hopeless, he was escorted to the small ship by several soldiers.
This small ship was indeed manually operated, and Xiaohu also found abnormalities when invading.
But it didn't take it too seriously, just thinking that it had encountered soldiers with strong adaptability and hands-on ability.
This situation is relatively rare, but it is not absolutely impossible to happen. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the military camp.
It wanted to eavesdrop on the other party's conversation, but found that the communication system of this small ship was also cut separately.
Xiaohu was not interested in continuing to explore - there were so many small ships on the battlefield, was it worth wasting computing power for this matter?
So it controlled its own small ship and launched a wave of attacks on the other side.
One wave of attacks was ineffective? Oh, this is an assault ship, then another wave will do.
After two waves of attacks, the assault ship was directly destroyed, so it was captured.
The brigadier general did not resist at the time. Although he could also stay and fight in space for a short time, he really couldn't compare with the digital phantom.
Qu Jianlei's consciousness discovered this Supreme, so he notified the military, be careful, there is a Supreme in this assault ship.
This news alarmed the colonel, who came to the outside of the assault ship in person.
"Is it Brigadier General Bobis inside? We have to regretfully inform you: you are captured!"
There is no shortage of bloody men among the soldiers of the alliance, but some people knelt quickly and had already confessed the existence of the Brigadier General.
Bobis originally wanted to hide his breath and try to drag a few people with him during the boarding battle.
But after feeling the fleeting mental power just now, his full of murderous aura disappeared instantly.
The mental power appeared very briefly, but it was enough for him to judge: he was not an opponent!
Let alone an opponent, he was afraid that he was not even worthy of carrying shoes for others!
Bobis had come into contact with the Supreme, so he could be sure that this was also a Supreme.
And this person was probably the peak among the Supremes.
As expected, it is Digital Phantom. With such a big name, it really has strength.
Realizing this, he instantly lost the desire to fight desperately - in the eyes of the other party, he is just a big ant, right?
The bravery and fierceness between ants are probably just a farce for such a high-ranking person.
But he couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so he just replied calmly, "I won't surrender, just kill me."
The colonel was a little confused when he heard this, this is a brigadier general, "Sir, how should I deal with it?"
"Then kill him," Qu Jianlei's voice came from the loudspeaker, "Is it hard to say if you want to die?"
"But..." The colonel hesitated and said, "They are actually prisoners of war."
"What's wrong with prisoners of war?" Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "Don't tell me that it's inappropriate to kill prisoners."
The colonel hesitated and replied, "In essence, a living brigadier general is much more valuable than a dead brigadier general."
Qu Jianlei replied nonchalantly, "I don't see any value either. We have killed too many supremes of the alliance."
"As for not killing prisoners? Don't forget that we have rescued more than 200 imperial soldiers."
"Do you know how the alliance treats them? They are beaten and scolded at every turn, and at least two digits of innocent people have been killed!"
The colonel absolutely believed this, because in the Empire, prisoners were treated this way.
But the other party was a brigadier general after all, and he could not be taken lightly.
Just like the previously captured federal colonel Hill, even if he was only an A-level, he was treated quite well.
But it was not appropriate to say this publicly, otherwise it would chill the hearts of his own soldiers - most of the imperial soldiers were ordinary people.
So he could only make up his mind and speak loudly, "Brigadier General Bobis, please don't waste time."
"If you really refuse to surrender, we will open fire... To be honest, we also want to avenge our dead comrades."
His words resonated with many imperial soldiers, "The commander is right, this kind of person should be killed directly."
"Commander, apply for artillery," someone volunteered, "My sister married to Hope No. 4, I want revenge!"
To be honest, when it comes to hatred, the alliance soldiers are at least two streets behind the empire!
The imperial people have been deeply harmed by the alliance, and there is no need to mobilize to fight the alliance and the federation.
However, even though the outside world was in a commotion, Popbis inside the starship said nothing.
"Prepare for artillery attack!" The colonel was so embarrassed that he said with a grim smile, "I like to help others the most."
He could actually guess the other party's mentality. He just couldn't bring himself to surrender, but he didn't have the courage to commit suicide.
So now the other party hopes that his side will kill him, which is not bad for his reputation.
But the colonel has no psychological burden to kill the other party. It is of course good to capture the brigadier general alive, but killing people to vent anger is also good.
The imperial people have accumulated too much resentment, and the colonel himself is more inclined to kill the other party.
It's just that he was a little greedy for merit just now, so he thought about taking people back.
Now even his soldiers are excited and want to kill people, so he naturally has to consider the psychological problems of the soldiers.
For these soldiers who go deep into the enemy's rear to harass, since they are here, they should be prepared not to go back.
So, during this period of time behind the enemy, we must care about the mental health of the soldiers.
Brigadier General Bobis could also sense the situation outside, but there was no abnormality on his face.
For him, this should be the best result, and he was willing to accept it calmly.
However, the next moment, a cold snort came, "I hate this kind of self-righteous guy the most!"
Then, his head shook violently and he lost consciousness.
The colonel sensed this violent mental fluctuation and couldn't help but speak in surprise and joy, "Sir, what is this?"
Qu Jianlei's voice came, "I have knocked him out with my mental power, you just go and catch people..."
"This guy is waiting for you to kill him, but he doesn't even say anything. How can I let him get what he wants?"
The colonel was stunned when he heard it: Is this a good reason?
Qing Hu, who was beside Qu Jianlei, smiled slightly, "You can't stand him letting the people around him be buried with him, right?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at her, "You are the only one who knows a lot, is the reason important?"
Two hours later, the battlefield was cleaned up and everyone evacuated quickly, but... the prisoners had not been captured yet.
They captured more than a hundred starships, large and small, and encountered many unexpected situations.
The key is that there are more than 2,000 prisoners, and each person must be checked for identity, smuggling, and restrictions, which takes a long time.
However, as the battlefield was cleaned up and the cleaners returned, the manpower was somewhat sufficient.
And they didn't need to stay where they were. The division-level ship captured all the starships and quietly disappeared into the depths of space.
The fleet led by the colonel lost two small ships in the mopping-up battle, and the injured company-level ship suffered new injuries.
This was not because they were careless, but because the opponent was really anxious. In the end, they even fired randomly, and Xiaohu couldn't judge.
The colonel took time out, but he didn't dare to walk around in the division-level ship-the opponent only vacated a small cabin for them to detain prisoners.
He didn't even see the people of Digital Phantom, and he was just honestly active in this cabin.
But he really had something to do. After thinking about it, he returned to the battalion-level ship through the gangway between the ships.
Then he gritted his teeth and knocked on the door of the lord's room.
Half a minute later, Qing Hu's voice came from inside, "What's the matter? Didn't I say, don't disturb me?"
"Sir, the battle is over," the colonel replied respectfully, "I want to talk about implanting artificial intelligence."
Qing Hu was a little surprised when he heard this, "We haven't captured all the prisoners yet, but you are so anxious."
"Time waits for no one," the colonel replied in a deep voice, "We are behind enemy lines, and we don't know when the next battle will start."
"There are still two squadrons out there... My battalion-level ships can't hold everyone back any longer."
