It's the 25th day of the resistance at the B72 highground, and the 22nd day of the Empire's second wave of attacks.
After sustaining heavy losses in their continued offenses, the fortified Imperial forces, now numbering in the 230,000s after the reinforcement of 30,000 troops, have had to switch from an offensive to defensive strategy, relying on their built trenches and defensive works.
The battlefield falls into a brief standstill.
The Empire needs time to mobilize more troops, and the B72 highground lacks the capacity to engage in sweeping counterattacks.
"Old Ji, I'm sending you a video clip. Have a look."
Ji Xinghe, who is repairing and maintaining the Mountain-cutting mecha in the maintenance area, halts his work upon hearing Chen Xun's voice.
B72 highground is running short of maintenance staff, as there are numerous damaged Federation Mechas that require repairing. This significantly increased the demand for maintenance workers.
