1107

On a street with four lanes in both directions, some soldiers wearing power exoskeleton equipment were divided into two teams, escorting the heavy tanks walking in the middle of the road, and cautiously moving forward along the road.

Above them, more than a dozen small unmanned aerial vehicles circled back and forth, trying to find out in advance possible assailants in any of the windows on either side of the street. In the human queue, small robots with four legs or tracks constantly move through it, covering the flanks of these soldiers.

This is a well-armed and well-trained unit with considerable experience in urban street fighting. But they still look like they are facing the enemy.

This is not the first time that the GDI forces have cleared this main street, and the troops who were in charge of clearing this street have suffered heavy losses from the heavy fire from both sides of the street.

Although the coalition forces also carried out precise artillery and air strikes on the surrounding buildings after the incident, the results were not high, and most of the main buildings on both sides of the street were reinforced concrete buildings with solid structures - such as banks and financial institutions, old design - unless more powerful shells and bombs were used, those facilities needed to be continuously fired.

But it would also reduce the entire street to rubble.

The owners of the building did not agree with the military, insisting that they would send enough infantry to wipe out the Sijing forces in these important facilities. Who cares how many soldiers will die in the process? At least not many of the big guys above will care.

But Lieutenant General Sheffield was fortunately not among them.

So in addition to the heavy tanks that the previous units did not have, this team of soldiers has more unmanned combat weapons to provide cover, and even helicopter gunships that rarely appeared in this war are on standby in the rear to support at any time, a self-propelled howitzer battalion will also provide them with fire support, and even the orbital alert fleet in low-earth orbit will also provide the necessary ground support strikes - just laser and precision missiles, orbital bombardment or something is still a prohibited item.

Lieutenant General Sheffield had already made up his mind to take this important downtown street in order to connect several coalition-controlled areas so that the remnants of the Sijing people could be wiped out in a short period of time.

As long as most of the Sijing people's military strength in this place can be eliminated, even if the main force of the coalition is transferred to North America later, the remaining local forces can also solve the remaining remnants of the Sijing people.

Naturally, the attack of the Sijing people was the same as before, appearing in the buildings around this human force, and dense plasma rained down on the human troops on the street.

The nerves of the human soldiers reacted swiftly to dodge, using tanks, armored vehicles, and the robots that accompanied them as cover, and fired back at every window and door that fired plasma bullets.

And those half-human-tall robots, whether they were crawler or quadruped robots, also quickly protected the human soldiers around them firmly behind them at the moment of the attack, and used their bodies to resist the bullets of the Sijing people for the human soldiers.

Subsequently, the armored transport vehicle in the team opened the door, but what came out of it was not human soldiers, but various types of autonomous robots, including land robots that accompanied infantry actions before, and unmanned aerial vehicles that used ducted engines.

Those drones in mid-air were all shot down as soon as the Sijing people began to attack, and they didn't have time to react at all, and the new batch of drones that flew out of the armored transport vehicle at this time made up for the aerial eyes and close support firepower of this human force.

These newly emerged drones successfully took off when the Sijing people were fighting the human soldiers on the road with all their might, and the machine guns and grenade launchers mounted on the belly of the aircraft suppressed some of the Sijing people's firepower points - although these drones were quickly shot down by the Sijing people one by one, they also successfully diverted some of the Sijing people's firepower, relieving a certain amount of pressure on those human soldiers on the road.

On the contrary, those land-based robots, except for some of the additional human soldiers who continued to serve as cover, the others automatically rushed into the buildings on both sides of the road that hid the Sijing troops, and began to engage the Sijing people's autonomic weapons inside at close range.

The human soldiers, who were the least attacked, or the closest to the buildings, followed the robots and rushed into the buildings, clearing out the Sijing ambushers.

There are also human heavy tank troops, although in the strikes of the Sijing people in all directions, the surface of these heavy equipment at the forefront of the team was burned unevenly by the high-temperature plasma, but the ones that can hide in the human building room can only be small units of the Sijing people - such as the smasher infantry is only one meter and five high, and the shock wave robot can't enter most of the human rooms - their firepower is not enough to easily penetrate the armor of the human heavy tank, and can only pose a huge threat to the human infantry, The counter-fire of the human infantry can also threaten the Sijing minions.

Of course, the ambush of the Sijing people could not only let those infantry units go on, and at the same time that a few firepower points that the human infantry could not attack were bombarded by tank artillery or destroyed by drones rushing in and self-exploding, and some small alleys in front of the street also rushed out of the vehicles and weapons of the Sijing people.

Some foot guns and light hovering combat vehicles.

The plasma shell hit the human tank with its muzzle pointed at the surrounding building, and before the latter could react, the powerful plasma ball pierced through the side armor of the tank and entered the turret!

In less than a few seconds, flames erupted through the gaps in the tank that had been pierced through the side armor, destroying the two leading tanks, and none of the crew members could escape.

A group of infantry hiding behind the tanks carried anti-tank missile launchers around the destroyed tanks and launched a continuous counterattack with multiple anti-tank missiles at the Sijing people vehicles that appeared!

After shooting down two of the missiles, a fragile walking gun and a light hovering vehicle were destroyed by multiple missiles, but the rest of the Szinger vehicles continued to fire at the human troops!

Although they have successfully repelled several attacks by the human coalition forces on this block, the Sijing side is not completely without losses, and they have also lost a lot of important equipment, so they also know very well that if they can't defeat this human force in a short period of time, then if they continue to consume, they can only lose.

Don't look at the Sijing people on this street, there are still a lot of smasher infantry, but there are not many heavy equipment that can threaten the human armored forces, they are large and difficult to hide, and there will be a lot of losses in every battle, once the heavy equipment is lost, then when the human race attacks this important street again, the Sijing people will lose the ability to destroy the human heavy armored forces.

Shockwave robots can also destroy human armored vehicles, but humans can easily destroy them.

On such a battlefield, the small robot troops are very like fish in water, they rush to the front of the human soldiers from time to time to block the plasma shot by the Sijing people, and from time to time rush to the Sijing troops to self-detonate, and occasionally independently attack a Sijing people's firepower point, with their own weapons, ignoring the losses and the Sijing troops to carry out a war of attrition for one for one or even more for one.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of these unmanned weapons, and this human force that successfully maintains the supply line with the rear, no matter how many robots are lost in the front, the rear can always replenish them with enough new robots in the shortest possible time.

All they need to do is control the speed of the robot's losses and the number of casualties among the human soldiers.

In terms of human soldiers, even if they didn't have the help of power exoskeleton equipment at the beginning, they could fight to the death with the Sijing people's land weapons, and now with the power exoskeleton equipment, they can carry more equipment, more ammunition, and better protection, not to mention the tactical rigid Sijing infantry.

What's more, when attacking those Sijing people's firepower points, there are also robot troops to take the lead for them, attracting firepower, and the human losses will be less.

In fact, what really caused heavy casualties to the human troops was still brought by the heavy vehicles of the Sijing people.

A Scarlet Devourer Heavy Hovertank appeared behind the light vehicle and destroyed a human heavy tank in a single shot that squeezed through the destroyed friendly tanks in an attempt to open a path.

The powerful high-energy rays instantly pierced the frontal armor of the tank, igniting the shells stored inside the tank, and the fire extinguishing system did not play any role, and the tank directly exploded internally! The violent explosion not only sent the turret flying away from the hull, but also engulfed the infantry that accompanied the tank's attack!

Several flaming bodies staggered out of the flames, then fell to the ground again, motionless.

A tank, along with all the officers on board, and seven or eight infantrymen were killed behind this shot.

Another tank behind this tank opened fire, and the armor-piercing steel arrow passed through several light hovering vehicles at high speed, hitting the Devourer, but it was bounced off by a light film on the surface of the Devourer's body, and the shell eventually fell into a building next to the Devourer, causing a large amount of smoke and dust!

The two missiles struck from mid-air and flew straight towards the Devourer, but in the middle of the process, they were destroyed by two walking cannons in front of the Devourer, and the fire and shock wave from the explosion also shattered the windows of the surrounding buildings, and the falling fragments fell on the human infantry below, provoking a burst of exclamations.

An Apache helicopter gunship emerged from a high-rise building completely occupied by human infantry and fired another anti-tank missile strike at the Devourer tank.

But this time, as soon as the missile left the pylon, it exploded, blowing up the helicopter gunship. Fortunately, the plane was very close to the roof of the building, and the two pilots were quickly rescued by the infantry in the building after the crash.

While the helicopter was falling due to the explosion of its own missile, four drones rushed towards the Devourer from four directions, clinging to the walls of the surrounding buildings.

All four drones are self-destructing, and the humans are well aware that if they can't destroy the Devourer sooner, then more human soldiers and equipment will be destroyed by it.
