Chapter 128: A Sad Song of Blood and Fire

"Fortify the twelve-point position defense, quickly."

"Hey, you two, don't stay at three o'clock, fill in at six o'clock."

"Qian Kai, be careful, those dogs' artillery fire is aimed at you."

The captain of the first squadron was tired, although they were beaten back by several attacks of the rebels, but they themselves were choked by the opponent's 82-millimeter mortars. Moreover, the opponent's eyesight and aiming ability is still good, and as long as their soldiers stand in place for more than half a minute, they will be attacked by more than three mortars at the same time. Over the past few years, more than a dozen Union soldiers have died from direct mortar hits, and each soldier who died under fire did not leave a single intact corpse.

Therefore, the federal soldiers in charge of defense cannot stop and must change positions from time to time. The soldiers themselves were also very depressed, why they were obviously holding an impregnable position, but they were beaten around by a gang of primitive weapons, and they changed places with one shot as if they were fighting guerrillas.

"Chief, something is wrong." The leader of the third squad pulled over to the squadron leader, "Look at that position, they seem to have pulled something up again." ”

The squadron leader clicked on the mask, and the computer immediately zoomed in on the target location, and several thick black barrels appeared in the line of sight.

"155mm howitzer?!"

If the 82-mm mortar only caused some interference to their defense, then the 155-mm howitzer is definitely a weapon of mass destruction. The armor of the landing ships simply could not block the bombardment of 155-mm grenades, and when the time came, their defensive ring would become a prison of death.

What's even more infuriating is that those howitzers are all arranged on the back of a slope, and they can't see a little trace of exposure unless they climb up to the landing ship, and the laser cannon brought by the landing ship can't hit them at all because of the insufficient depression angle.

"Quick, just let a landing ship take off, we must destroy their howitzer positions right away."

The leader of the third squad answered, and immediately called the two soldiers around him to run to the landing ship. The surrounding defenders quickly retreated to make way for an area to avoid being burned by the stream of hot particles ejected from the landing ship as it lifted off.

However, this landing ship, which carried the hope of the entire squad, had just lifted off a hundred meters into the air and the moment when the laser cannon was ready to fire, ten Stinger portable anti-aircraft missiles flew towards the landing ship at the same time, and the laser cannon did not have time to react and only destroyed three of them, and as for the rest, they could only watch the missiles concentrate on the landing ship's hull one after another.

The missile's warhead tore through the weak armor of the landing ship, and the shock wave raged around the huge hull. Two of them hit the engine directly, and the out-of-control landing ship, billowing smoke, staggered to a hundred meters away from the ground forces.

The rebel soldiers immediately surrounded it, and armor-piercing rifles, old-fashioned fragmentation grenades, and almost all eighty-two-millimeter mortars were summoned to the crashed landing ship almost instantly. The sound of explosions and the sharp sound of armor-piercing shells tearing through the metal continued to sound, and the Federation soldiers hiding in the defensive circle could only watch their comrades being smashed in the face with various weapons, and could not take the initiative to go out to save them.

A sense of powerlessness welled up in the heart of the squadron leader, watching his teammates die because of his orders, and he could only stay where he was and support them with laser weapons, but in fact, this so-called support did not play a role at all, such a feeling was really uncomfortable for a commander who had been in the army for more than ten years.

The rebels used welding torches to open the outer armor of the landing ship and dragged down the three Federation fighters who had passed out on the console. In order to demonstrate to the Union soldiers in the defensive circle, the rebels also exposed three people to their line of sight by kneeling.

"Soldiers of the Federation, I am the commander of the army here, do you see these three people? They are all one of you. They should have died on the front line against bugs, but today, because of the incompetence of your superiors, a large number of your brothers in life and death have died in this barren land. Now, in the name of the field commander of the Fengxiang Alliance, I send you a notice to surrender, as long as the brothers of the Federation surrender, with your combat ability, you will definitely be highly used here in our army, and we will not treat any elite soldiers of the Federation who voluntarily surrender to us. ”

The rebel commander hid behind the ramp and shouted at the Union soldiers in the defensive ring with a bullhorn.

Fortunately, the Federation soldiers who stuck here were among the best elites of the Federation, even if the other commander's words were quite earnest, none of the soldiers looked at the squadron leader with suspicious eyes, everyone still held on to their positions, and their blood-red eyes were still staring at the position of the captured comrades.

"It seems that you still have a phantacy of it, and I want to tell you that all of your soldiers who have landed on the surface of the planet have been wiped out, and only one of your troops is still holding out. Your space forces are also under attack from us. No one can save you, and if you don't surrender, he will be your fate. ”

An armor-piercing rifle was pressed against the head of a captured Union soldier, and the rebels opened fire before the Union could say anything, and white and red splattered on the soldier's mask, and the armor-piercing bullet passed through the mask, carrying a small hole in the ground with a red liquid.

"Brothers of the Federation, I sympathize with you, I know that you also have families, you have your own loved ones, as long as you are willing to surrender, we will find a way to take your wives, children, and parents to the territory under our control, and our Fengxiang Alliance will never treat you who are also human beings badly."

"Fuck you! Fire on Lao Tzu! ”

The squadron leader's eyes were about to burst into flames, and the rebel commander said it very nicely, but he really didn't hesitate at all when he moved his hands.

"Squadron leader, no, squad leader, he's still in the hands of the enemy."

"Get out of here, guard, bring your rifle."

"Yes!"

The squadron leader took the laser rifle, and the sighting ring on the visor was firmly attached to the chest of the third squad leader.

"Squadron Leader, you ......"

"Old comrade-in-arms, I'm sorry."

The squadron leader closed his eyes, and with a beam of light, he shot the squadron leader in the heart accurately.

The beam of light easily melted the reinforced armor on the squad leader's chest, and the remaining energy was all output on his flesh, and the blazing heat instantly evaporated the squad leader.

Before the rebels could react, just a second later, another soldier next to the squad leader died in the same way. Not only did the soldiers of the Federation fall silent, but the rebels were also speechless.

The laser rifle fell to the ground with a clatter, and several soldiers hurriedly carried the squadron leader's uncontrollable and collapsed body, and the soldiers scrambled to insert bottles containing sobering spray into his visor, injecting all the spray into his armor.

"The enemy is about to bombard us with heavy artillery, and we cannot sit idly by and let the soldiers abandon their positions and retreat to the east." Squadron Leader Feed raised his head, pointed into the ear of the nearest soldier, and ordered in a very weak voice.

The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly carried all the things that could be used on their backs, and the landing ship looked like it was about to give up, because they did not know how many portable anti-aircraft weapons the other side had, and it was very likely that there would be a danger of total annihilation if they rashly took off.

Halfway through the packing, artillery shells flew over there, and a 50-kilogram grenade smashed into the positions of the federal forces with a distinctive sound that pierced the air.

The artillery shells accurately hit the landing ship, and the huge power instantly knocked the landing ship back to a state of parts, and the wounded in the landing ship who had no time to retreat were instantly engulfed by the fireball generated by the explosion, and the entire position was overturned by more than ten howitzers, and the soldiers shuttling through the landing ships were overturned by the air current, and the shrapnel scraped on the individual armor, shooting out countless fires.

The fleeing Federation soldiers to the east were also fiercely attacked by the enemy, and the rebels did not know where to get a few A-10 attack planes to bombard the federal forces in the breakout.

The cannon tore through the relatively weak back armor of the Union soldiers, and the soldiers had nowhere to flee but to stop and fire at the attack planes roaring in the sky with computer-controlled laser rifles, but the soldiers would be attacked by the opposing army, and even the opposing 82mm mortars were chasing the fleeing Union soldiers.

A breakout turned into an escape, in which case even the most elite troops would be in disarray. In addition, the squadron leader is now in a rather bad spirit, the squad leader has sacrificed again, the army actually has no command staff, and the coordination of the troops has dropped to the extreme.

Seeing the soldiers around him fall one after another, the squadron leader could only look weakly at the sky shrouded in dark clouds, and now unless the fleet can rescue in time, all of them will be explained here.

However, as far as the eye could see, there were only attack planes strafing back and forth around the fleeing federal forces, and an endless stream of tracer armor-piercing shells and rockets.

Explosions rang out around the soldiers, the dust obscured the soldiers' vision, and the rebels simply fired into the smoke. After the 155mm howitzer took out the abandoned landing ship, it also joined the killing feast, and the squad of more than 100 people suffered most of the casualties in an instant, but the federal soldiers could only be slaughtered by others, and they had no ability to fight back at all.

"Damn, where the fuck is the fleet, can't they hurry up and deal with the rebel fleet?" The squadron leader gasped for breath and grabbed the heavy communicator on the communicator's corpse, but unsurprisingly, there was still a jumbled sound in the communicator.

While he was talking, a grenade exploded next to the squadron leader, shrapnel shredded the squadron leader's back armor and blew up communications equipment. At this moment, the already chaotic troops became a headless fly, and the soldiers who had lost their commanders were dazed by the artillery fire, and they had no time to distinguish whose rank could take over the command, so they could only fall into a situation of fighting on their own.

The rebel forces gradually surrounded and drove the remaining Union troops into a small area, and the rebels even built defenses, so that the A-10 attack aircraft and 155mm howitzers in the air could easily send all the Union soldiers back to their hometowns as long as they were unable to move.

"Federation soldiers, I give you one last chance, of course, an ultimatum, if you still refuse to surrender, you know what awaits you."

The rebel commander placed the horn on the pickup truck and let the pickup loop around the Union soldiers on autopilot.

However, a beam of light still accurately hit the fuel tank of the pickup truck, and the explosion made the rebel commander's face completely gloomy.

"Give me ......"

"Wait, sir, what's that?"

The rebel commander looked up in confusion, and a huge fireball burst through the clouds, illuminating the faces of every rebel and Federation soldier.
