"Something isn't right." Seeing that the starship of the Sijing people was actually bombarded into three pieces by three shelling mechas, Lin Hai did not have a happy expression on his face, and the staff officers under his command judged that the moment the Destroyer gunship appeared, they judged that the Sijing people were not just attacking the meeting, kidnapping or assassinating Kane, but really intended to open a gap in Western Europe, but they did not expect the Destroyer gunship to be killed after only a short time on the field - although nearly a thousand human ground troops were wiped out by the starship, this was not something they needed to consider.
It's impossible for the Sijing people to throw in a starship for an unimportant battle and then lose the battle without getting anything.
"There was no reaction on the radar." As if sensing Lin Hai's line of sight, the radar officer took the initiative to say, "The anti-stealth sensor has not detected any stealth targets, except for those wormholes on the ground that teleport the ground troops, the Sijing people have no other actions." ”
"There is indeed a problem." Lin Hai shook his head, disagreeing with the signs of calm on the front line, "If the goal of the Sijing people is only to kidnap or assassinate Dr. Kane, then after the plan fails, they should abandon their operation here, withdraw or even directly abandon the ground forces in Geneva." But instead of doing so, they continued to send more troops to Geneva, and even after the wormhole was interfered with by the gravitational trap generator, they desperately tried to maintain the existence of the wormhole, that is, to maintain the transportation of troops on the front line, and finally sent a starship to support. ”
"And knowing that our space fleet is already in low-earth orbit, we are going to send a starship to send it to death." Putting down the work at hand, Kane walked up to Lin Hai, looked at the three pieces on the screen that fell to the ground and smashed up puffs of smoke and dust on the wreckage, and said, "The Sijing people have learned a lot from the war with us, and theoretically, it is unlikely that they will fight another meaningless battle." So it is impossible to explain their behavior except for some special purpose. ”
"Examine the wreckage of those starships." Lin Hai looked up and nodded at the fragments of the Destroyer gunship displayed on the screen, "Maybe there is the answer in there." ”
"You suspect there's something in those wreckage?" Kane glanced at Lin Hai and asked.
"Sort of a hunch." After thinking about the battlefield intuition that he still hadn't figured out, Lin Hai replied, "It's impossible for the Sijing people to send a starship here for no reason to give us a battle feat, except for using that starship to carry out a special mission, I can't figure out why they sent that thing for, even if it's cannon fodder for space warfare, a Destroyer gunship is not a toilet paper that can be thrown away." ”
"Taejing." Kane spat out the word.
"What did you find?" Lin Hai looked at Kane, "Although I also wondered if the gunboat was carrying a certain number of Taijing, the Sijing people deliberately let us shoot it down in Geneva, and then use the wreckage of the starship to spread Taijing throughout Europe." But I can't figure it out, if that's the case, they can use the wormhole to transport the troops to Western Europe, which will make them even more unaware. Using a starship to complete this plan, not to mention the waste, we will definitely have to inspect the wreckage of the starship after the war, won't we also find Taijing? ”
"If it's some kind of Taijing form that they specially made, it's hard for us to identify?" Kane first asked rhetorically, and then "Although the Taijing radiation detector I designed did not find any Taijing radiation energy signals, it did capture other unknown types of signals. I initially thought it was some kind of processed energy signal from Taijing. ”
"Like the Refined Blue Crystal used in their Crack Generators?"
"That's it." Kane nodded and continued, "The reason why we don't use wormholes to transport them is probably because that kind of thing will have a negative impact if it is transported in wormhole space, so the Sijing people can only waste a starship to spread. At present, there is still too little information, so I can only make some conjectures rather than judgments. ”
"Inform the front-line troops, be careful about the wreckage of the Crystal Man Starship, and the work of inspecting the wreckage will be entrusted to the biochemical defense forces, and the front-line troops are only responsible for the perimeter vigilance." There was no need for Kane to say anything more, Lin Hai directly ordered the communications officer, asking him to convey orders to the front-line troops.
Inside the city of Geneva.
Although the Destroyer gunship of the Sijing people has been completely destroyed under multiple blows, and the wreckage of the starship has also fallen to the ground, the GDI forces here, or the Swiss Defense Forces and NATO forces, still dare not take it lightly.
They knew that the Sijing people did not only have one starship, but also thousands, tens of thousands of ground troops in the city waiting to fight them to the death. Especially after the Destroyer gunship appeared and destroyed some of the urban areas and the human army, the human army gave up a lot of the blocks they had recaptured to avoid the blows of the Sittingren starship, and gave up their previous gains in vain, which caused them to now have to spend the same or even more energy and casualties to recapture those important nodes.
To make matters worse, due to the indiscriminate firing of the Destroyer gunship before, several important gravitational trap generators were turned into molten iron in the face of plasma weapons falling from the sky, which caused problems in the original operation of suppressing and interfering with the wormhole of the Crystal Man. The ground forces of the Sijing people, in addition to easily occupying the positions they had lost before, gained some time to replenish the lost troops and equipment to strengthen their defenses.
The situation faced by the human frontline troops is quite complex and difficult.
"No, we need more support to move forward." Looking at the unrecognizable street in front of him, which had been damaged by shelling and plasma weapons, Liu Yan said to another officer with a headache.
He had just rescued the hostages from Eastern Europe, and before he and his company could recuperate, something happened in Geneva, and he and his company had to be urgently dispatched to Central Europe as reinforcements to help.
Earlier, when the Swiss Defense Force and NATO troops assisted, his pressure was not so great, at least the human side was not much less than the Sijing people in terms of troops, but after the Sijing people's destroyer gunboat fired, the NATO troops didn't know whether they were scared, or they didn't want to shed too much blood for the Swiss, in short, when the alien ship was destroyed and the human coalition re-entered the counteroffensive, the NATO forces showed some ineffective work.
Only the Swiss Wehrmacht still has a high desire to attack – after all, this is their own country.
Among the GDI troops, there are also some participating troops who have also been affected ideologically, and have the idea and behavior of preserving their strength, but they have GDI high-level management to deal with, and the small unit led by Liu Yan is facing direct pressure because of the reduction of friendly troops.
"We won't get any support anytime soon." His assistant, Lieutenant Cody, said, "Our company is only now on the field, and it is impossible for us to send new reinforcements under these circumstances." Those units that have been beaten to the point of being half-crippled are the ones that need to be replenished the most. ”
"But we're going to take a shopping street!" Liu Yan pointed ahead and said angrily, "The internal space of those shopping malls is huge, who knows how many troops and equipment the Sijing people have hidden in them!" Do you think we can take this street with just one company? In such a large area, our little people will disappear immediately! ”
"But we can't just do nothing and apply for reinforcements." Knowing that what Liu Yan said is true, but it is impossible for Lieutenant Cody to give up the mission or delay the mission according to what he says, and the clones have no right to say no, "I have to fight a little bit and understand the real situation of this commercial street before I can apply to the above." Maybe there aren't many Sijing troops on this street, and we can take it with just one company. ”
"Do you believe this kind of thing yourself?" Of course, Liu Yan himself knows that he has no reason to object, and he shouts that he can't finish the task before he has carried it out - you haven't done it before, how do you know that it can't be completed? - How could the above believe such words, or can only try to attack first, and then complain to the top after encountering huge resistance.
He seemed to have forgotten that it was he who wanted to go to the front, not that Lin Hai insisted on him coming.
"The road surface was largely completely damaged in the previous engagement, and it was very difficult for wheeled vehicles to get through." Now that Liu Yan no longer resists the task, Lieutenant Cody, as the deputy, will of course start assigning tasks to each platoon, "Second Lieutenant Dominic, your platoon is an armored platoon, take the middle way; Second Lieutenant Loren, your infantry platoon follows the Dominica platoon to cover them; Callahan, you take your men through the buildings on the left, clear out the Sijing troops that may exist inside, there are all shopping malls over there, there should be passages on the side for you to use, and you should notify us immediately if you encounter a hard bit. ”
"The company will act with Loren's platoon," he said. When Cody finished arranging the work, Liu Yan added, "When each platoon moves, control the distance and speed, especially don't pull the Callahan platoon too far, they walk inside the building, and the road is not necessarily easier than the outside." ”
"Understood." Several low-priced officers nodded, turned around and went to direct their troops into action.
After everything was arranged, the reinforced mechanized elite infantry company officially stepped into the commercial block in front of it to carry out the task of annihilating the Sijing troops in the block.
As Liu Yan had guessed before, as a street that could lead to the city center, it was impossible for the Sijing people not to arrange troops here to defend, so when their company entered the block for a few tens of meters, it was attacked.
But there was only one side of the fire, and in the building on the left side of the line, Second Lieutenant Callaghan's platoon quickly engaged the Sijing ambush soldiers hiding inside after entering. With their superior firepower and the advantage of an all-out elite clone infantry, they quickly annihilated the group of Scycler Infantry closest to the group on the street, and suppressed the other Scarlet forces in another building.
The troops on the street also quickly launched a counterattack on the ambushers, and several first-headed Chaser main battle tanks fired several grenades in a row, accurately knocking out the fire points of the Sijing people, and after clearing several teams of Smasher infantry, Second Lieutenant Loren's infantry platoon, under the cover of infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles, also launched a surprise attack on the buildings on the other side.
