In the event of a head-on confrontation, these ancient tanks have almost no chance of hitting in the face of highly mobile armor, but once they hit, it is difficult to resist a shot in terms of the protection ability of mobile armor.

Therefore, the tank brought by Needham can only take out one alliance mobile armor by sneak attack, and once it is exposed to the enemy, it will be difficult to hit again.

Still, the enemy also seemed unwilling to get caught up in a situation surrounded by a dozen tanks and various anti-armor infantry.

For mobile armor, the speed of propulsion is their sharpest weapon, once the speed is blocked, and the number is not superior, the remaining five armor of the alliance can only withdraw from the city first.

Zhao Xiaonan patted the dirt on his body and stood up from behind the bunker that was suppressed by the other party, just as Needham drove over while sitting on the tank and blocked the passage.

"Where did you get these old antiques?" Behind her, a mercenary from the White Mountain asked loudly, "This thing can still be opened!" ”

"Military Museum." Needham said expressionlessly, "It seems to be an antique left over from the last war, sealed in the mountains to the north, and it is a miracle that it can be driven." ”

"At least one has been killed." Zhao Xiaonan said.

"They won't be backing for long," Needham said, "and I know the Alliance's assault tactics too well, and after this side is blocked, they will definitely choose other routes to continue their advance." ”

"Well," Zhao Xiaonan nodded, "There were only six armor just now, but there were still ten that I don't know where, and those robots didn't show up." ”

"I'll keep that direction." Needham jumped out of the tank and instructed his men to clean up the destroyed mobile armor, "You go find other enemies - change your guns, use the kind that the executive has taken, and maybe do some damage to them." ”

Zhao Xiaonan thought for a while and said, "Okay." ”

A hovertruck drove over and opened the rear compartment, and several soldiers from Needham jumped on it and dropped several boxes.

"This is also from the storage warehouse, although the model is a little old, the maintenance is okay, make do with it."

The mercenaries opened the box and saw several energy weapons inside.

These large guns, which can shoot charged particles at extremely high temperatures, are the best weapons against mobile armor.

Zhao Xiaonan chose a more convenient gun for himself, but heard Needham say: "Take more intelligent directional mines, and when you encounter intersections where the other party may pass along the road, find a few roadside cars and trees or something, and put a few more, which is very effective against mobile armor." ”

Before Zhao Xiaonan could speak, he commanded the soldiers again: "You guys, go over there to find more things, take two tanks to the twenty-fourth block, and seal that intersection...... And you, go to the vicinity of the eleventh block, find a high-rise building with a good view, and set up a missile position for me......"

Zhao Xiaonan stopped and asked, "You seem to be familiar with street fighting?" ”

The skinny Needham lifted his glasses: "Do you want to learn?" I'll teach you. ”

Zhao Xiaonan pouted: "My master is Han Jianfei." ”

Hearing this, Needham smiled and said, "Mercenary King?" I can't compare with his old man in other things, but when it comes to street fighting, I can beat him twice as much with a soldier of the same quality. ”

Zhao Xiaonan made a gesture of "I remember you" and drove towards the south of the city with the mercenaries.

"Found them!" As soon as I walked a short distance, the voice of a partridge came from the communication channel, "About five kilometers south of you." ”

"Let's go right over!" The captain of the White Mountain mercenaries said, "Inform Needham and see if there is any air support on his side!" ”

When the people left behind in the city of Tiangang began to pull the net to search for the enemy's airborne troops, the landing force of the coalition fleet finally began to launch an orbital bombardment of Sillasong, and the first wave of attacks was launched by numerous orbital weapons and starship main guns.

Under the cover of more than two dozen destroyers, eight motherships and six landing ships of the Imperial fleet forced their way into near-earth orbit and began to project ground forces on intended targets.

At the same time, the destroyers launched a fierce attack on the planet's anti-aircraft weapons with dense firepower, and by the time the first landing craft full of Marines landed in Cherry Valley, there were few weapons left around that could threaten the fleets in orbit.

In the process, the Alliance's Seventeenth Fleet opened the landing corridor at the cost of two starships and began to continuously send troops to the ground.

Destroyers in near-earth orbit had to get out of the range of attack, and by the time they returned to low-earth orbit, they already had at least two fully equipped heavy divisions assembled in Cherry Valley.

The vanguard quickly established defensive positions, and by the time the first troops of Novala Song arrived, the Union fleet had landed six divisions and nearly 90,000 ground troops.

This is the power of the Alliance's planetary suppression fleet, even if it has been slacking off for many years after the Great War, it still has enough strength to forcibly send nearly 100,000 people to the surface of any planet in less than a day.

The first to land on the planet was the 1092nd Marine Division, as the 17th Fleet's most ace Marine Division, the 1092nd Marine Division was the most advanced force in every battle in which the 17th Fleet participated. During the big battle with the Order, there were even incidents where the 1092nd Division was directly regarded as an enemy when the coalition destroyers were supporting in low earth orbit, and there was almost no firepower coverage.

Regarding this division, the 17th Fleet has always had a saying, saying that the commander of the fleet, Kang Lianhu, once said that no matter when and where, no matter what the battle turned out, as long as he saw in the battle report that the 1092nd Division was still at the forefront, he would be able to sleep peacefully.

When the 1092nd Division landed, several landing craft were destroyed by dense ground artillery fire, and the direct battle damage had exceeded 10%, but after receiving follow-up reinforcements, they did not make any repairs, and directly took an independent mobile armored battalion as the lead and advanced in the direction of Tiangang City, the capital of Xinluosong.

Although the other units complained bitterly, they also had to follow behind the 1092nd Division.

In order to cooperate with the actions of the 1092nd Division, Kang Lianhu had to order the four motherships to descend to the limit and send fighters to prepare for their attack without interruption, while ordering the 796th and 3017th Marine Divisions that followed behind to quickly advance to protect the flanks of this fist-led team.

This was a risky but very effective assault tactic, and in the face of the Sillasong people, whose personnel quality, technical equipment, and preparation for war were far inferior to their own, the 1092nd Division was like a bamboo, advancing 300 kilometers on the first day of landing, directly tearing apart the three lines of defense organized by Sillasong, and even leaving behind the dozen or so brigades that rushed to intercept it.

Mr. Grant, who received numerous war reports in a single day, was obviously a little anxious, he had always been only a businessman and investor, and had almost never really participated in the war except for his military service in his youth—not only him, but for most of the Sillassons people, war was a very foreign option, and when the Sillasson local fleet had almost all lost contact with the administrative star, he had to rush the ducks to the shelves, command the more than 300,000 men who had been improvised to fight against an enemy who was far superior to himself and had a lot of combat experience.

"The enemy's 1092nd Division's assault was too fast, and we didn't have a force that could hold them back for even an hour." The other military adviser of the group, who was also from Moses prison and was sent by Mavis to assist Mr. Grant, Confederate war criminal, pointed to the yellow arrow on the holographic map and said, "And, with these big guys overhead, it will be difficult for our fighters to enter the war zone to strike at the enemy." ”

Grant rubbed his somewhat numb cheeks with his hands: "The space weapons that can be used nearby are almost paralyzed, and we can't pose any threat to those motherships." ”

"Actually, there's another idea, although crazy, but I think it's worth trying." Curt Hill kept licking his chapped lips with his tongue as he spoke, and it was evident that he had an almost perverted excitement about war and bloodshed, and Grant, though he didn't like this kind of war maniac, pricked up his ears.

"Give me four, no, two squadrons, and I'll be able to handle these four big guys," Hill said, "and I'll go myself." ”

"There is no ground fire cover, no radar suppression, and no fleet containment," Grant shook his head, "Even if you are given four squadrons, even immortals can't do it." ”

"I can do it." Hill's eyes burned with a desire to fight, "I'll go personally, as long as there are two squadrons, the four squadrons are too big a target, let's go directly above them, and leave after the fight, those four guys have reached the limit of altitude, even if they descend a little more, they will no longer be able to leave the atmosphere, we don't have to destroy them, they will fall by themselves." ”

"But how do you do that?" Grant adjusted the angle of the hologram so that the four motherships appeared in the hologram, "There are enemy destroyers in the orbit above, and hundreds of warplanes carried by the mothership itself below, how can two squadrons break through the circle of fire?" ”

Hill held out his finger and drew a curve on the hologram.

"The orbit of the mothership is much lower than that of the destroyer, they can't travel at the same speed, and we can get a window of more than 20 minutes, and in this window, my two squadrons will use this route to directly attack the four big guys without cover from above."

He drew a strange route through the atmosphere, re-entering and then popping out of the atmosphere like a splash, and after three consecutive re-entries, the route directly intersected the orbit of the mothership.

"I call this line of attack the 'Leap of the Fish' assault, our squadron will launch a direct attack on the mother ship after the destroyer enters the other hemisphere - this route, we can take off from the airfield farthest from the destroyer, so that we can completely avoid the search and interception of the coalition fleet, and the rest is to shoot all the missiles out and attack directly from the top of the mother ship, and just one hit will be enough to turn these big guys into the brightest iron coffins in the atmosphere - by that time, Those few hundred chickens that don't have a coop are nothing to worry about. ”

Grant's gaze focused on the curve that seemed to be full of strength.

"Go," he said after a long moment, "do as you say, and I'll give you the best two squadrons." ”

"Wait for my good news," Hill licked his lips, "and when you see those four meteors, you can send all the fighters out to bomb the 1092nd Division." ”

"If you can succeed," Grant said, "I promise that today will be the last day of the 1092nd Division." ”
