However, only two Mammoth tanks were fired, and while they were reloading their shells, the other three Mammoth tanks bypassed their companions and rushed forward!
Although it did not completely rush to the front, as long as there was enough firing range, it was enough for the tank!
The Devourer tank that was knocked off the shield also tried to counterattack, but unfortunately, the Devourer tank of the Sijing people, said to be a tank, but more like a tank destroyer, its turret cannot be rotated, to change the direction of fire, only the entire hull can be rotated, although this is not slower than rotating the turret for the hovering moving Devourer, but at this time in the environment of urban warfare, when there are obstacles everywhere, the hull does not rotate so quickly.
So when the Devourer slowly turns the hull and prepares to return fire to take out a mammoth first, the opposite Mammoth Tank fires first!
After six consecutive shelling sounds, the Sijing Devourer Heavy Suspension Tank, which had lost its shield, also had six more large holes in its body - only three or four hundred meters from both sides, which can be called a face-to-face combat distance, shooting a suspended tank that stopped in place, for a modern human tank, the hit rate is equivalent to 100 percent.
After being hit by all six armor-piercing shells, the final outcome of this hovering tank was naturally that the energy core exploded, turning into a mass of charred black garbage burning with blue-purple flames, which was even more dazzling than all the other destroyed Sijing vehicles on the battlefield!
By the way, the explosion also implicated nearby buildings, and the façade of a bank was blown beyond recognition in the explosion of a hovering tank.
The Devourer who stood in the way was finally killed, but the five Mammoth tanks began to retreat and return to the rear of the group, giving up their positions in front of them to the main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles that followed.
In order to protect these valuable and scarce heavy equipment, the commander of this unit did not dare to use them at will, for fear of any mistakes, but only used them in key places, and then put them back to safety after the fight.
Although this seems to be a bit of a thing, but the biggest obstacle to capturing this street, the Devourer has been destroyed, so the ordinary main battle tank (third generation), infantry fighting vehicle, and some infantry are enough to deal with the remaining Sijing troops.
As the human commanders expected, although the Devourer tank, the largest reliance of the Sijing people here, was destroyed by the humans, the remnants of the Sijing people still did not collapse, and still held on to every building where they existed, and engaged in fierce battles with the humans.
It will take some time for humans to take this street completely.
The situation on the battlefield, although not very satisfactory, is at least within the range of human expectations, and if there are no surprises, then the battle in the whole city will most likely be over within a week, which will also complete Lieutenant General Sheffield's plan.
But how could things end so easily?
Because the wormhole was not opened for a long time, it was actually disturbed by GDI, but during this period, the Sijing people still sent a large number of troops into Geneva. Although there were a lot of losses in the subsequent battles, firstly, the wormhole was not completely closed - after being disturbed, the power was reduced, and it was no longer possible to continue to transmit heavy equipment, and could only transmit infantry-type units such as shockwave robots and smascerizers - secondly, the original base was relatively large, and there were still a lot of battle damages. So it's not so quick to get rid of them all.
Therefore, completely cutting off and closing the wormhole that is still transporting the Sijing infantry has become the main task of the human alliance at present. The capture of that main street was also for this purpose.
Just because this main street is the closest to the wormhole, it can also ensure the smooth supply line of the coalition forces after it is captured. Now that they are on the verge of taking full control of this important passage, the plan to close the wormhole will naturally begin.
No, before the entire main street was fully controlled and opened, Lieutenant General Sheffield's direct order reached the front-line troops, and more reinforcements - drawn from other free-hand fronts - more heavy assault equipment - Mammoth super-heavy tanks that the front-line commanders were reluctant to use were directly increased to thirty.
The generals of the human race, facing the Sijing wormhole that was still teleporting lightly armed troops, couldn't wait for a moment, and they desperately wanted to end this battle quickly.
So the mammoth tank opened the way, and the armored forces of the coalition began to rush towards the other side of the street with the plasma light bombs on both sides of the road! Only when a high-powered firepower point such as the Shockwave Robot appears, will the tank slow down, and then blast out that firepower point with one shot, and then continue to move forward.
And when the armored troops leave, a large number of infantry will rush up to fill the gaps they have created, clearing the Sijing infantry that have not been resolved.
At this moment, the sky, which was still daytime, instantly darkened, and the sky was blocked by a huge figure, and the city light below suddenly dimmed.
A Destroyer gunship has appeared over Geneva.
"Hell! How did this thing come about?! Seeing the picture displayed on the screen, Lieutenant General Sheffield, who was relieved because the ground troops had successfully broken through the important defense line of the Sijing people, was about to fall off, and he did not expect that in the entire working range of the gravitational trap generator in Western Europe, there would be a Sijing starship that would suddenly appear above the battlefield.
Unlike others, Vice Admiral Sheffield is the deputy commander of the GDI - not to mention how much real power he can have, but at least his position is still sufficient in terms of access to information - so he knows more about the Sjing Starship than most Coalition officers, and he knows very well what kind of damage a Sjergen gunboat can bring if it appears in the skies over the battlefield.
"The anti-aircraft missile brigade fired!" Before anyone else could say anything, the shouts of the signal corpsmen sounded in the command center, "The squadron of air force interceptors in the rear has also begun to take off urgently!" ”
Although the Sijing attack did not dispatch their most common Wind Rider combat boats, the GDI and NATO forces still prepared air defense units according to the standard plan, but they were deployed near the rear bases and supply depots for protection, and did not expect these troops to have a chance to fire.
But now, the air defense forces, which were originally prepared according to conventional standard plans, have become the most useful forces of the coalition forces at the moment.
On the display screens of the command center, columns of white smoke continued to rise into the air, and then flew straight towards the Sijing starship in the sky more than 20 kilometers away! The columns of smoke formed by those lift-off missiles filled almost the entire sky!
Subsequently, a large number of explosions occurred in the missile cluster in flight, and the Scrystalline starship began to use laser weapons to intercept the heavy anti-aircraft missiles that took off towards it, but the Destroyer gunship's laser point defense system was not so efficient, far inferior to the larger planetary assault mothership - in fact, the Sjingren starship did not have a laser point defense system earlier.
Because of themselves, they may have developed similar guided weapons before, but with the development of energy weapons such as plasma weapons, they no longer need guided weapons, at least they no longer need physical guided weapons, plus their previous opponents are basically using energy weapons to fight, and the laser point defense system is even more useless in such an engagement environment.
It was only after coming to Earth that they saw that the development of human guided weapons made them feel threatened, and they installed some additional laser point defense systems on starships to deal with human guided weapons, but because the original design of starships did not leave room for these additional new weapons, there were not many places on their starships to install too many interception weapons.
Unlike planetary assault carriers, the Destroyer gunships can be reduced in the number of carrier-based aircraft to make room for other equipment, and the number of laser point defense systems that can be installed is even smaller without affecting the energy supply of their main weapons. In the past, when fighting with the GDI Space Fleet, because the two sides were in a fleet battle, after the anti-aircraft firepower network composed of multiple destroyer gunships, it was difficult to break through when the number of human missile groups was insufficient, and it did not show the weakness of its insufficient anti-aircraft firepower, but now, it is not so easy to suppress an opponent with an area of tens of square kilometers in the atmosphere with a starship and an opponent with perfect and powerful ground anti-aircraft firepower.
After exclaiming, Lieutenant General Sheffield, who also knew about these things, also reacted, no longer panicked, but regained his previous calmness and calm, and began to deploy the battle in an orderly manner.
"Sir, we have contacted the orbital alert fleet in the low earth orbit above us, and they have also discovered the appearance of the Sijing starship!" After receiving the instructions of the vice admiral, the communications officer who urgently contacted the GDI space fleet also sent back new news, "However, in order to prevent the Sijing people from having other hidden forces, the fleet cannot descend into the atmosphere to destroy the Sijing starship, but they will provide us with orbital fire support!" Also, two new Higra-class destroyers from the African Dockyard have changed course and are heading locally, and are expected to arrive in Geneva from the African Theater in four hours! ”
"Four hours?" Sheffield paused, "We can't wait for that time!" Let the orbital fleet fire now! Cooperate with the ground air defense forces to take out that starship of the Sijing people! ”
"But if you destroy the Starship now, most of the wreckage will fall into the city of Geneva, which will cause great damage to the city!" Hearing the lieutenant general's words, some officers immediately jumped out to oppose it.
Sheffield glanced at the man, and although he couldn't remember the man's full name, he knew that the man was a representative of the Swiss side, who had joined the coalition as a liaison officer, and of course had some scruples about the damage Geneva had suffered during the war.
"I don't care about that anymore." Sheffield said to him, "If we can't deal with that Sjing starship quickly, then not only the city, but our army here will also be devastated!" Why do you think that kind of Sylvant starship is called the Destroyer? That thing is a professional assault ship! One shot can ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a piercing alarm sounded in the command center!
