Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Landing Battle on the West Bank (1)
Haast, New Zealand
ATEF 2nd Regiment D Squad
Corporal Frost Jensen
With a very clear advantage, Luo Lian planted the flag of Roxat in Australia, and only two months later, the reconstituted Luo Lian army continued south and marched towards New Zealand.
Frost knew they were flexing their muscles, Australia had little to resist, and New Zealand's fate was almost certain. Moreover, this time their army was regrouped, and the landing force covered the entire west coast from the north of New Zealand along the two islands in the north and south. Planes covered the sky above the clouds, and countless ships on the boundless ocean set off huge waves and rushed towards the thin island nation.
"Behold, Frost, this number is the size of a Far Eastern nation," Unakin said in the communicator, "we are unstoppable, crushing the obstacles that lie ahead, and teaching the Antarctic people who do not know what it means to be afraid. ”
Again, this kind of arrogant statement, Frost has a bad premonition, and they may pay for it. The ATEF has invested too much for the previous country, and like the navy and air force that now surround the coast, eighty percent of the soldiers are recruits who have never set foot on the battlefield, and their GS-91 is a simplified production version, with no tactical features other than the most basic regenerative functions and a secondary head-up display.
To put it bluntly, they were overdrawing their lives in pursuit of victory, and he didn't know if General Jeno was also using them as a tool, and he didn't know how many people were going to die in this battle, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, and he might care about these data after the battle, but in the quagmire, he could only do his best to save himself, and then do his best to protect the people around him.
The door of the transport plane was slowly lowered, and the sound of alarm bells and air currents filled the cabin, which was also a kind of tranquility in a sense.
The people below will protect those below, reaching out to the helpless rather than hurting them, something that weak humans can also do. This quote was given to him by Frost's mother, and he remembered it firmly when he decided to join the army instead of continuing to fool around in small neighborhoods.
"It's going to jump, Frost. Unakin patted him on the shoulder.
Freightt nodded, and jumped off the plane one after the other with Master Chief. Gravity and air did their best to declare their presence at this moment, his heart beating wildly with the rush of adrenaline, and his eyes wide open after shooting his goggles, witnessing the birth of history as best he could.
The cruelty of war is sometimes manifested in its shock, and Frost looks at the Luo Lian sergeant who is descending like a swarm of bees, and has such an idea. The dense paratroopers and the constantly blooming fireballs are all swaying in the painted scrolls of this sky. Through the overlapping clouds, the corners of the blocks on the land became more and more visible, and the anti-aircraft guns and missiles were clearly visible. Frost adjusts the direction of the fall to avoid the plane that blows up in the air.
The clash on the coast was even more brutal, and when Frost dived a certain distance, he could already see corpses covered in the sand. The heavy mechs bombarded the coast with artillery fire, stirring up damp sand and water splashes, and white sprays dragging blood back to the sea, and the water along the coast turned pale red.
Frost didn't feel anything in the face of such a frightening scene, he felt neither anger nor sadness, he just watched it happen. They had to pull the landing troops up before the waters turned crimson, which was what the task and the brain defined as what they should do.
"Open the parachute!" shouted Yunakin, opening the parachute himself. Frost pulled his backpack after him, and his shoulders were pulled by a strong tug, slowing down his fall.
The Luo Lian soldiers, who opened their parachutes, floated to the ground, and from above, they looked like mushrooms, one by one planted on the ground. It's a quarter less than it was at the beginning, but it turns out to be much better than the troops landing on the coast.
Frost heard the gunshots and turned his head to see the fire, a machine gun firing at them. The blood warmed up faster than he had imagined, and the friendly soldier on the right died in the air before his feet could touch the ground. The machine gunner of the armored SUV finally got his eyes on him, and the trajectory twisted in an arc towards him, and at the current speed he would definitely be sliced in two by the machine gun.
No way, take a gamble on the new equipment. Frost let go of his hands controlling the parachute and untied the parachute bag from himself, the machine-gun bullet sweeping just above his head. He slammed quickly to the roof of the landing site, and when he was about two meters away from the roof, the AAX-05 exoskeleton erupted from all over the place, temporarily freeing him from the restraints of gravity.
"Delta1 calls Delta3, we've landed safely within the predetermined location, what's going on on your side?" Frost rolled around on the ground and heard Unakin say over the communicator.
"Report, firefighting with enemy warplanes is underway. Wendy, who flew the AAX-08 tactical fighter, said.
"Understand, after solving the tail to dispose of the enemy mobile forces, the position is in our direction at six o'clock, on the street. ”
"Yes. Wendy replied and cut off the communication.
Frost was in position, and the anti-aircraft missiles flying in front of him flew towards the different targets locked, which made it clear to him what to do at the moment. He swapped out the I-1000 semi-automatic sniper rifle and mounted it to the edge of the roof. Through the optical sight, he saw two base stations of anti-aircraft missiles deployed by the enemy on the flat ground in the direction of 12 o'clock.
Holding his breath, he turned on the instruments on the left rail and aimed at the position of the anti-aircraft base station for three seconds.
"Coordinates received. There was only a brief reply in the communicator.
Then, ten seconds later, a spear of divine punishment suddenly descended from the target location, and the impact that spread from the center of the landing point crushed everything in the target area, and the fire and smoke covered the clearing, and some faint glowing orange particles were mixed in. When the smoke that obstructed the view cleared, all that remained in the clearing was a circular pit, as if it had been cut out of a compass.
Is this the weapon that General Jeno authorized them to use, a weapon that uses relic technology, and it is still in the experimental stage, but it has already shown such terrifying power. However, Frost knew almost nothing about the weapon, only that it was an artillery attack from a ship far off the coast, and that it was an undoubted force.
After confirming that there were no living enemy troops nearby, Frost rose up to report to Master Chief Unakin, who had already smiled with satisfaction when he saw what he had expected.
"Wendy, the anti-aircraft artillery has been eliminated, and the air defense in this area should have weakened a lot. ”
"Understood, is coming at a hurry. ”
They walked to the other end of the roof, and immediately there was another weapon test, a weapon loaded on AAX-08.
As the team members got closer and closer on the heads-up display, Frost looked up and saw the specially painted AAX-08 tactical fighter. On the belly of the fighter plane, in the middle of the missile racks on both sides, there is a small pincer-shaped cannon, and the mouth of the crocodile mouth emits an orange light, which is a sign of gathering high thermal energy, and it is also the unique color of the collapsed particles when they are excited.
The mobile team of the Southern Union downstairs found the incoming fighter and prepared to counterattack and dodge, but before they could act, a green ray spit out from the slightly open crocodile mouth, and then it suddenly expanded like a turbulent stream, and the extremely high energy poured on the street with the dive of the fighter, and after drawing a line, AAX-08 flew into the air.
"The target has been annihilated, and Delta3 is now in the process of evading enemy anti-aircraft weapons. ”
"Thank you, Wendy. Yunakin said, grinning and showing a row of teeth, and smirking hideously.
The target was annihilated, which was known only by their naked eyes, and Frost began to doubt the necessity of an oral report. The streets swept by Wendy's use of a test weapon seem as if nothing had happened, leaving only a long scar. Melted, not to mention any mobile troops, even the road surface was melted by the energy of high heat. The orange-red liquid was steaming hot, glowing with an ominous glow, stung every inch of Frost's skin.
The principle is completely unknown, this is not something that they should know in the lower classes, all they need to know is the immediate result, the absolute power displayed by the weapon. Panic and fear are too late to manifest themselves, and the units of time are no longer minutes and seconds, but instantaneous, instantaneous, capable of killing countless people.
The previous battles were nothing more than farewell battles to the past, and modern warfare has just begun.
A war in which the ban on relic technology is fully lifted.
