Chapter 132: The Decisive Battle in the Frozen Ground (2)
After two days of delay to avoid the Southern Union's eyeline, Frost followed General Jeno in an infantry fighting vehicle to the camp where Luo Lian had hidden himself with optical camouflage. Climbing up the snow-heaped circular hill, you can get an overview of the surprisingly large Air Force Combat Headquarters, which covers an area of more than 100 hectares in front of and on the left and right.
In the middle of the artificially carved ice shelves, rectangular deep pits go deep under the ice sheet and are arranged in a regular circle around the command center. The only pit with a rod-shaped object sticking out of the ice sheet indicates that a behemoth is hidden inside.
The last of the Southern Union's NB-90s was parked inside, and their goal was to take down the headquarters of the entire air combat group, but they couldn't let it take off in the first place. Luo Lian's air force has exceeded the limit just to deal with the two NB-90s along the coast, and if this material shuttle ship is put into the battlefield again, Nanlian will undoubtedly have air supremacy, and even Luo Lian has no chance of winning on the Antarctic battlefield, and then loses all the games.
The horn of the attack was sounded by the AAX-07 fire platform, and two main battle guns were fired successively to destroy the two watchtowers under the hill, and then four AAX-08 tactical fighters and AAX-06 combat loaders provided supporting firepower, and hundreds of Luo Lian soldiers driving snowmobiles formed an assault force to assault the air force combat headquarters of the Southern Union.
Snowmobiles slid down the hills, the cold wind blew in their faces, and the AAX-06 next to it kept firing, bombarding the enemy's lines. The Southern Union responded quickly, and the tanks equipped with particle beam guns lined up to face the attacking Luo Lian mobile troops, and fired a salvo straight at them, the snow from the landslide was stirred up, and the evaporated water vapor cooled down into water droplets and ice crystals.
Frost carefully bypassed the burned area, and in the blink of an eye a quarter of his troops had been wiped out, but no matter how many friendly troops there were below, they could only advance. He continued to control his pace and prepared for the next volley.
After the third salvo of enemy tanks, the AAX-07 fire platform on the top of the hill also took up its footing and began to bombard the enemy base with its main battle guns. The tanks of the Southern Union were routed in an instant, and the battle loaders aimed at the target in the middle of the slope and cleaned up the mess.
AAX-08 swept overhead and dropped missiles at the base's outer walls, successfully opening an entrance. The fighters climbed up and prepared to return, but the anti-aircraft missiles inside the base swarmed out, knocking them down one after another.
The firelight and the lighting inside the base reflected the attackers, and the sound of gunfire everywhere meant that the enemy lines had not yet collapsed, and more commandos had fallen off their snowmobiles.
Frost fought back with a pistol in one hand, and with the other he drove a snowmobile to dodge the enemy as much as possible, while Wendy, who was sitting behind him, raised his rifle and opened fire on the enemy at ten o'clock. They ran onto the road, sparks grinding under the bike, and slowed down. The AAX-06 battleloader followed closely, covering the infantry with all their firepower, while some stepped forward to pin down the enemy's MS-N.
Gunfire flickered in all sizes, and Frost didn't need night vision to see clearly in the base, raising his assault rifle and killing three enemies in a single short shot. The two of them hid behind the bunker and attacked the Nanlian soldiers stationed left and right, and survived with more than a dozen friendly soldiers. After the reinforcements caught up, they moved towards the pothole where NB-90 was parked.
"Drop the ropes!
The Rollon soldier with the rope fastened one end of the rope to the ice shelf and jumped into the pit first, while the demoman in charge of the demolition followed behind. The soldiers of the Southern Union were already guarding the NB-90, and on the platform below, the barrels of the guns were erected to hit the Luo Lian soldiers who descended from the ice shelf.
The first group of members were all wiped out, and the Luo Lian soldiers above the ice shelf exchanged fierce fire with the opposing party, and the reserve assault and demoman quickly ran up again.
Frost put on the rope and also descended face down, raising his rifle to shoot at the enemy on the deck of the NB-90. The Demoman above him scrambled to tinker with the blaster, only to be shot and killed before the blood could drip down.
At this time, the engine of the NB-90 started, and the sea water that had evaporated from high heat condensed into a mist and rose up. Frost killed two more of his nearest enemies, then took advantage of the cover to climb back and remove the blaster from his dead comrades. Holding the grip in his left hand, he aimed the tip of the blaster vertically at the cliff of the ice shelf, pulled the trigger with the index finger of his right hand, felt the recoil with both hands, and the cone-shaped object with the explosives was nailed to the cliff.
"Explosives number one is set up!"
"Explosive No. 3 has been set up ......"
The explosives were set up one after another, and the fog gradually thickened, so I'm afraid that the NB-90's preparations for take-off were almost complete.
"Venti, pull the ropes up now," said Exia, "they're going to detonate the explosives." ”
"Yes!"
Frost, who was slowly rising, felt a rising momentum, and his speed became faster accordingly. He glanced back, and the explosives set around the crag inside the pit were glowing red, indicating danger. Other than that, he seems to see the NB-90 go up.
When he reached the edge of the ice shelf, there was a loud bang beneath him, almost piercing his eardrum. Then, the glacier beneath his feet began to crumble and collapse. Frost subconsciously grabbed the rope and ran desperately with his legs, but he still couldn't change the fact of his whereabouts. The collapse spread rapidly, and even the places that had been reinforced inward began to disintegrate, and large and small ice blocks rolled down and smashed on the NB-90 one after another, making a rumbling sound.
The cold air rises and makes people shiver. The taut rope suddenly loosened, and Frost was about to return to the surface, but lost his center of gravity at this juncture.
His arms were waving wildly in panic, and he was just caught by someone, and the other party's hanging silver hair was stuck to the snowflakes, and his mouth was panting.
Frost looked at Wendy in amazement, and looked back at the bottom of the crater, where the falling ice and people disappeared into the rising white mist, leaving the world forever.
"Sir, get ready, I'm going to dump you up. Wendy said, feeling like she was struggling, but said it slowly.
Frost grabbed her arm with both hands, and Wendy swung up, retracted to the right, and flung to the left. Frost let go of his hands at the right time, flew up a short distance by inertia, and reached out to grasp the edge of the ice shelf. The smooth ice was not easy to grip on, and he could only struggle a few times, and finally Wendy grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
Frost turned and sat on the edge of the ice shelf, kicking his legs forward from time to time, pushing himself away from the danger pit. He adjusted his breathing, the roar of battle in his ears reminding him that the battle was not over, but his body and mind were in desperate need of a moment's rest.
General Jeno drove past him again, and his whispers came over the communicator.
"I'm coming for you, Commander of the Southern Union......"
