At the earliest opportunity, General Ji Xinghe led his Independent Group, along with the rear echelon units assigned to him by the Western War Zone, to abandon outpost number 1837, which they had reclaimed merely a day ago.
Their defensive line was in a state of disrepair, utterly incapable of withstanding the enemy's onslaught. The outcome of being besieged didn't need stating.
Even a fighter as formidable as Ji Xinghe couldn't face down six hundred Imperial Mecha single-handedly, and even with help from the likes of Qin Tong, it was impossible.
The Xinghe Mech Independent Regiment, with a total of one hundred and four Mecha, had too many green troops. They were still far from harnessing the full power of their Mountain-cutting Model Mechas.
Recommendation from the Western War Zone Command was likewise for Ji Xinghe to abandon his position. So, when Ji Xinghe led his troops to retreat, everyone at the command centre heaved a sigh of relief.
