Chapter 186: One Man's War (3)

If Sun Cheng occupied this abandoned U.S. nuclear bomb silo as a base in the pigeon at the beginning, it was just because it was hidden enough and the underground space was huge, which allowed him to save a lot of time to build.

Now, he's starting to congratulate himself on his choice.

Because it's too much of a advantage!

“…… Sir, we found a lot of surveillance equipment during the advance, and it is clear that the enemy is hiding in this nuclear bomb silo......"

Captain Robert, with a bandage on his forehead, squeezed into Major William's armored infantry vehicle with several heavily damaged surveillance equipment in his hands.

Major William looked at the wound on his head with a calm face, it was not from the enemy or from a mine explosion, but from the American army itself.

That's right, the eight M270 automatic rocket launchers equipped by the Sound Nest unit itself, when clearing mines for the preface advance troops and clearing a way forward, although some precision adjustments were made, they still continued the tradition of the US military that always loved to accidentally injure their own people, and a rocket unfortunately exploded not far from Captain Robert, who was inspecting the front.

Fortunately, there were no serious casualties, but seven or eight American soldiers and commanders, including Captain Robert, were affected by the blast and were injured to varying degrees.

Several of the Soundnest's M270 automatic rocket launcher systems had already fired all the rockets in reserve, and now they had to stop.

However, they have done their job, and with the dense rain of rockets covering a certain area accurately, they have cleared a relatively safe path for the tank units of the Sound Nest Army.

Taking the damaged surveillance equipment from the old man's hand, Major William looked at them and quickly threw them aside, and asked, "Still haven't encountered enemy targets?" ”

This is probably the most humiliating battle he has fought since joining the army!

The advancing troops of the Sound Nest are about to be pushed to the nuke silos, but look at what they encountered!

Mines spread for almost twenty kilometers, anti-aircraft missiles that do not know where to hide, and surveillance equipment scattered everywhere.

Dozens of Apache hovering in the sky circled and searched, but could not find a target!

Dozens of M1A2 U.S. main battle tanks on the ground are menacing, but they can't find a target!

Nearly 1,000 soldiers carefully followed the advance in full gear, but they still couldn't find the target!

The Autobots had been suffocated by the unpleasant battle, and the usually hot-tempered Ironhide had even just left him, and he had only one request when he came to see Major William, hoping that he, the titular commander of the Sound Nest, would agree to his battle plan, which was to let them go and rush in, and pull out the cowardly Decepticons who were hiding in the nuke silos like moles, and beat them up.

Not to mention, for a moment, Major William really had the intention of agreeing to the other party.

The sinister Decepticon is beyond imagination, he cunningly hides in the nuclear bomb silo, although this silo has been abandoned for many years, but it was built at the height of the Soviet-American Cold War, and the construction standards are completely in accordance with the rigid requirement of being able to withstand a nuclear attack.

Therefore, the ground-penetrating missiles equipped by the US army, including GBU-28, GBU-37 and GBU-43, are not enough to destroy nuclear bomb silos.

The MOP bomb may be possible, as a heavy ground-penetrating missile newly developed by the US military, the power of MOP is naturally good.

During the last battle in Tucson, the Sound Nest forces used MOP bombs.

However, judging from the data collected by the cleanup troops after the battle, the MOP bomb, although powerful, also faithfully fulfilled its mission, which was to cause a large number of collapses to the underground base of the Red Spider.

However, its high temperature and explosion damage are far from being as good as those shown in the U.S. military test site, and the underground base of the Red Spider has been found to be intact after being organized, indicating that it may be able to easily destroy the underground facilities built by other Earth nations.

However, when it comes to fighting the underground bases built by the Visitors, the MOP bomb's heat and explosion damage are far less than the collapse blow it inflicts when destroying underground bunkers.

Not to mention, the unit cost of a MOP bomb is close to sixteen million dollars.

To completely destroy the targets that might be hiding in the silos, it is conservatively estimated that they need at least four or five.

This is more than a third of the total amount of MOP bombs currently purchased by the US military, so Major William is well aware that the military will never approve it.

Captain Robert, too, was so angry at the terrible battle that he took off his military hat from his head in annoyance, and shook his already dark and smelly face.

"It's like playing a game of [Fight the Mole], this Decepticon called Confused is too insidious. He should still be hiding in the nuke silo, but he just won't come out, and we want to destroy it for sure, except for using MOP bombs to destroy the nuke silo, we can only risk going down the well! ”

It's truly an adventure!

Major William understood what he meant, and Captain Robert hoped he would allow the Autobots to attack, but he still had some hesitation!

Indeed, just on the ground, the other side has deployed so many means that they have begun to suffer combat attrition and a lot of losses before they have even touched the target.

It is conceivable that under the nuclear bomb silo, there must be many traps.

But!

With a frown on his brow, Major William begged him for a cigarette, lit it and took a few puffs, before finally making up his mind.

"Captain, tell the Autobots and get them ready to go down......"

"Sir......

Robert looked at him with some surprise and disbelief.

Major William still had a cigarette in his mouth, but a little gloom flashed in his eyes.

The Sound Nest Force, as it should be accurately called the 'Combined Earth and Autobot Army', is a joint armed force established by the U.S. government and Autobot leader Optimus Prime after consultation with the purpose of jointly fighting the evil Decepticons who also descended on Earth.

Although Optimus Prime made a lot of concessions in the process of forming this force, the leader of the Autobots clearly underestimated the fear and jealousy of the US government and the politicians.

After being appointed to command the combined force, Major William was received by a number of bigwigs, including the president, and more than one of them gave him this order: "In cooperation, it is still necessary to remain vigilant against the Autobots, to monitor all their movements and to show the might of the American army, and to keep this armed force under the control of the United States as much as possible!" ”

Obviously, the U.S. government doesn't want to see the Autobots use the Sound Nest Force to find out all their hole cards, and although they chose to cooperate with the Autobots, they never let down their vigilance and vigilance against these visitors, and even tried to control the Autobots.

"That's it, it's about action. Big deal to go back and be my captain ......"

After making his decision, Major William was relieved.

He smiled bitterly and nodded to Captain Robert, but he understood in his heart that unconsciously, even he admitted that the conventional military force of the US military was really not worth mentioning in front of those Autobots and Decepticons.

Captain Robert got his order and immediately jumped out of the moving infantry vehicle to contact the Autobots.

As soon as the captain walked away, Major William's communicator in his hand suddenly creaked and rang out.

"Sir, the radar has detected a missile attack......

Ensign William's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly spit out the cigarette butt that he had not finished smoking, and asked urgently, "What's the situation?" Can radar determine the number and type of incoming missiles? ”

"The target is locked...... It was determined that there were a total of thirty missiles, and the type should be Hellfire missiles...... However, this should be an unknown Hellfire missile, and the second, fourth, and fifth helicopter squadrons have been determined to be locked by the missile, and are conducting tactical evasion and counterattack ......"

"Boom ......"

Before the communicator could finish the announcement, a piercing explosion could be heard in the sky outside.

Major William hurriedly leaned over to the side window of the infantry fighting vehicle and tried to look outside.

It's a pity that because of his vision, he couldn't see the outside from the inside of the chariot at all.

Just as he was about to jump out of the infantry fighting vehicle to observe the situation, more explosions began to be heard in the sky outside the vehicle, and the communication channels inside the vehicle began to sound from various channels.

“…… Infrared jamming bombs cannot interfere with incoming missiles, do not ......

"All attention, direct use of air-to-air missiles ......"

“…… Hell, what the hell is this Hellfire missile, infrared jamming bombs don't work against it......"

……

The communication channel of the infantry fighting vehicle was filled with the voices of several squadrons of helicopter gunships from the sky, shouting, reminding, and wailing, and with the constant sound of explosions, it came and ended quickly.

After there was no explosion outside, Major William's heart sank, and he hurriedly raised the communicator in his hand and asked, "Data center, report the casualties ......?"

Soon, there was a reply.

"Sir, nine Apache have crashed, two have been seriously injured, and four need to be repaired on the return trip...... Those unknown models of Hellfire missiles are faster than the ones we are equipped with, and they are not interfered with by infrared......"

Major William's body trembled slightly, this loss has exceeded the psychological bottom line that the military can accept.

Gently covering his head, he sat down on the chariot, and after a while he calmly ordered: "I know, step up the search for the source of the missile, and rule out possible ......"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly there was an electromagnetic murmur from the communicator.

The next moment, a violent explosion set off a terrifying shock wave.

Before he could react, the infantry fighting vehicle he was in was directly swept into the air by a violent shock wave, turned over at a height of several meters from the ground, and soon fell to the ground again.

"Bang ......"

In an instant, Major William, who was unsuspecting, crashed headlong into the front desk of the chariot control that was squeaking and sparking, and immediately fainted.
