Chapter 36: A Journey to Observe the Battle on the Ground
After the mecha cluster of the Lucky Cat sailors walked out of the Lucky Cat and came to the dock, because the boatswain Zhang Hai wanted to concentrate on driving and repairing the mecha to take care of the Clouded Leopard Star Battlefield Reporter Corps, the mecha cluster of the Lucky Cat sailors was handed over to the deputy boatswain Zhang Heng to command.
At this time, Zhang Heng had already connected with the sixty Osprey Empire military police mecha that came to lead the press corps and the battle viewing group to report on the battlefield, and learned from the liaison officer of the Osprey Empire that the current front line of the battle was two hundred kilometers north of the current Lucky Cat airport.
At this moment, Zhang Hai suddenly found that there was also a team of bright yellow painted mecha teams composed of about sixty mecha in the east, which was approaching quickly, this team of mecha was lined up in a rigorous marching array, and the square area on the chest and back of the mecha was painted with the pattern of a large collection of national flags of dozens of surrounding countries.
As soon as Zhang Heng saw this posture, he understood that this must be the viewing group composed of officers from the surrounding empires who had just arrived at Clouded Leopard Star this morning.
After successfully docking with the liaison officer of the Osprey Empire, the liaison officer of the Osprey Empire led his sixty mechs to accompany the battle viewing group and the war press corps towards the front battle area.
Because the liaison officer of the Osprey Empire took them to the main road in the central city of Clouded Leopard Star, so when Zhang Hai drove the maintenance mecha on the main road, he also observed the intact condition of the buildings on both sides of the main road by the way, which made him feel more surprised that the shops around him who were doing business only began to pack up and close in a panic at this time, he was very curious why these shops delayed until now to pack up and close, is it because the war is not actually fierce?
With these questions, the mecha queue watching the battle gradually approached the battle area of the front line, and when they marched to a short distance from the battle area, Zhang Hai finally saw the familiar and long-lost roads and buildings densely covered with craters of various calibers, as they got closer and closer to the front line, some damaged mecha of the Osprey Empire with gray paint appeared on both sides of the street and in the middle of the road to undergo urgent battlefield repairs.
When the observer group and the war correspondent group officially entered the combat area, the observer group and the war correspondent group were taken to the roof of a building only two kilometers away from the battle line between the two sides by the Osprey Empire liaison officer, who led the team.
As soon as the spectator group and the war correspondent group climbed to the top of the building, their eyes were instantly attracted by the scene one and a half kilometers away from the north side, and everyone only saw that one after another team of white bear empire mecha clusters with white paint formed a sharp arrow battle array, and all turned on the machine gun modules on the mecha, while splashing water on the defense line of the Osprey Empire mecha cluster in front of them as if the cannon shells were raining down on the outer shield of the Osprey Empire's defending mecha, and at the same time slammed into the tightly arranged mecha cluster defense battle array on the side of the Osprey Empire. In the bloody storm set off by the mecha clusters of the two armies, the marines of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire will control the mecha and fight together with various alloy weapons equipped on the mecha.
Because they were separated by about two kilometers, this distance was quite close, so the sound of gold and iron between the metal weapons wielded by the mecha in the confrontation between the land armies of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire filled the battlefield around, and the battle viewing group and the war press group stood on the roof of the building at this time and heard it clearly.
And Zhang Heng was thinking more at this time, in his opinion, what surprised it the most was that the soldiers of the two land forces of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire were still fighting the ground battle in front of them in a way that had no depth and tactical coordination, and this kind of stuffy and brutal attack method that did not pay attention to outflanking and dividing the combined attack method also made the brothers of the Lucky Cat sailors guarding around Zhang Hai breathtaking.
Zhang Hai had already turned on the reconnaissance record lens outside the maintenance mecha at this moment, and at the same time, Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng chatted with Zhang Heng in the command channel about their feelings, only to see Zhang Hai say first: I went, I really didn't expect that several years have passed, the ground combat capability of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire's army is still so watery, I thought that the White Bear Empire's deliberate preparation for this war must be a victory, and it has been fighting like this for a long time, if you look at it this way, I estimate that this clouded leopard star ground war may end up being a street battle in the urban area where they fight each other.
Zhang Heng agreed with Zhang Hai's statement, and then he also said: Judging from the battle situation we have seen so far, it seems that the two sides of this war really have a tendency to develop into a brutal and protracted street battle, and so far we have not seen which side of the two armies of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire has come up with a truly breakthrough offensive action.
Just as Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng were chatting about what they had just seen, the soldiers on both sides of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire two kilometers away were still desperately attacking each other's mecha clusters without fear, and at the same time, the generals of the two armies were indeed very fearless, both sides were subject to the inefficient tactical efficiency of their own mecha battle formations and could not launch the attack line more efficiently, and at present, they could only rely on the soldiers of both sides to manipulate the mecha and wave the alloy weapons upright and hedge with the other party. The troops on both sides are almost always fighting in a life-for-life tactical mode.
In this case, there are still rains of electromagnetic artillery shells coming from time to time over the heads of the warring parties, and the small empires such as the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire are unable to devote themselves to the research and development of technology in close defense interception due to the limitation of national strength, resulting in the overall air defense and close defense interception efficiency of their ground land forces has been at a low level, and the result is that the mecha clusters on both sides of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire have suffered heavy casualties in the face of large-scale coverage of electromagnetic artillery shells.
And under the indiscriminate blow of this large-scale coverage of electromagnetic shells, the casualties of the two armies of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire are also rising rapidly, and at this time, the mecha of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire that are constantly falling and have no time to drag away are also destroyed on the front line of the battle one after another. As the battle-damaged mechs piled up by the two armies in the combat area continued to increase, the battle area was already showing a scene of casualties.
And Zhang Hai thinks that the casualties of the two warring sides have reached the size of two brigades, and he feels that this is too consuming troops, and now the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire have gathered a total of four marine divisions in this big cat star field, and they are all pressed to the clouded leopard star.
And a marine division generally has six marine brigades under its jurisdiction, so if you calculate it, the two armies of the White Bear Empire and the Osprey Empire only have twelve marine brigades available, and just in this fierce battle in front of them, both sides have already reimbursed one marine brigade each, so these two sides have consumed to this extent and don't take a break? The mecha clusters of the two armies that were fighting fiercely suddenly began to disengage from combat contact one after another and retreated in an orderly manner, it seemed that both sides were intending to retreat to replenish military supplies, and at this moment, the liaison officer of the Osprey Empire sent a communication message, saying that the current war was over, and you could take a look on the street at the bottom of the building.
