When Ji Xinghe led the Independent Group in a charge towards the outpost 1840, an experienced large number of Imperial Mecha stormed at their artillery positions.
According to the Empire's understanding of Ji Xinghe, he would have to prioritize taking down the anti-missile systems in their artillery positions first, and then the Federal Artillery Troops would execute a covering fire assault.

In the era of firepower supremacy, there was really no need for conventional forces to engage at close quarters.
But this time, they miscalculated.
The Independent Group, which seemingly targeted the Imperial Artillery positions, made an unhesitant turn at the same time it was about to encounter the interception of the Imperial Mech Squadron.
