Chapter 255: Rushing to Rain Star No. 7
At this moment, the combined starship attack groups of Task Force 3 and Task Force 4, which formed the starship cluster on the right flank of the 1st Operations Department, also swooped down ferociously on the left flank of the 5th Division on the opposite side like eagles with open wings. When the starship cluster of the 1st Operation Department and the starship cluster of the 5th Division were fighting non-stop fierce battles near the airspace near the Raindrop Star, the ground battle of the Rainspot Star gradually kicked off at this moment, at this time, the ground mecha unit of the 1st Operation Department did not shrink in the defense line of the logistics base area as expected by the ground mecha cluster headquarters of the enemy's 5th Division and waited for them to attack the door, but took the initiative to attack from the existing defense area. The mecha unit of the 5th Division fought in the rocky Gobi wilderness north of the central city of Rain Spot.
In the face of the mecha cluster of the First Operations Department that took the initiative to attack, the 5th Division was very surprised, because in the category of planetary ground operations, in the tactical habits of various imperial armies, the general defender has to rely on the existing defense line to consume the attacking team's forces before deciding whether to attack, after all, all the factors in the battlefield are unknown, and until the final victory, no side will ever dare to say that it has an absolute advantage on the battlefield. However, today, when the charging line of the 5th Division gradually approached the logistics base area, the mecha unit of the 1st Operations Department, which put on a strict defensive posture, poured out of the defensive area like another wave of even greater momentum, and smashed into the forward offensive line of the 5th Division like a hammer at the first time.
At the moment when the two armies met, the mecha cluster of the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion, which was attacking in coordination with other friendly forces of the Sixth Task Force, advanced rapidly under the leadership of the battalion commander Zhang Hai and the battalion deputy Zhang Heng, and was like a giant crossbow that was deeply nailed into the mecha formation of the enemy's 52nd Brigade that was blocking the offensive of the Sixth Task Force. Therefore, the reserve mecha cluster of the 52nd Brigade, which sensed that the situation around it was gradually getting worse, saw that the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion had penetrated deep into its own mecha cluster, and immediately the mecha clusters of the 5th and 6th Battalions of the 52nd Brigade of the 5th Division, which were behind the defensive line as reserves, tried to flank the mecha cluster of the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion from the left and right sides.
In the face of such a dangerous situation, Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng immediately and decisively divided the strength of the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion into two, and once again staged a wonderful cross-combat scene, only to see Zhang Hai leading two companies of mecha to first resist the attack momentum of the 6th Battalion of the 52nd Brigade of the 5th Division on the right, and continuously eliminated the three companies placed in the front line of the attack to contain the momentum of its attack. At the same time, Zhang Heng led three companies of mechs like a big net to cover the five battalions of the 52nd Brigade of the 5th Division from the left side, and then the three companies led by Zhang Heng exerted their tactical level at this critical moment, and wiped out four companies of the enemy of the 52nd Brigade and the 52nd Brigade on the opposite side in 20 minutes with unparalleled tactical efficiency.
The 5th Battalion of the 52nd Brigade of the enemy, which had only two companies left, suddenly did not dare to continue the attack, but turned its head and fled to the mecha cluster of the other three battalions of the first line on its own side, and at this time, the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion, which had defeated the two battalions of the enemy's 52nd Brigade, immediately joined forces and killed the way again, and then the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion perfectly attacked the mecha clusters of the 5th Division and the 2nd Battalion of the 52nd Brigade Regiment that were defending the other mecha clusters of the 6th Task Force on the front line.
The first and second battalions of the 52nd Brigade, which had already lost forty percent of their strength, immediately lost a total of four companies in ten minutes, and the first and second battalions of the 52nd Brigade suddenly left only the last two companies each, which made the defense line originally maintained by the first and second battalions of the 52nd Brigade suddenly leak everywhere, and was immediately fully broken through by the mecha cluster of the Owl Sailor Battalion of the Sixth Task Force. The defensive line that the enemy 52nd Brigade was struggling to hold was immediately collapsed by more than half.
According to common sense, the only remaining third battalion on the defense line of the 52nd Brigade should have retreated at this time to prevent being dumpled, but in fact, the sailor battalion of the Jianzhu and the 1st Mecha Battalion of the 6th Task Force composed of mechs on the destroyer cluster had firmly pinned the mecha cluster of the 3rd Battalion of the 52nd Brigade on the opposite side at this time, and then logically, under the full attack of the 6th Task Force, All five battalions of the 52nd Brigade were wiped out by the mech clusters of the 6th Task Force that had outflanked them from all sides, and finally surrendered only under the leadership of the brigade commander.
The 6th Task Force, which quickly annihilated the 52nd Brigade, after removing the nail of the 52nd Brigade, continued to follow the direction of the attack of its own left flank cluster and raced against time towards the mecha cluster of the enemy's 53rd Brigade that was also resisting the attack of its own Fifth Task Force. The 53rd Brigade had no choice but to surrender to the 5th and 6th Task Forces, and the attack on the left flank of the 6th Task Force and the 5th Task Force did not delay any time, and under the real-time tactical command of the ground mech cluster command of the 1st Operations Department, it immediately penetrated diagonally into the depths of the starship cluster of the enemy's 5th Division.
At this time, the battle line between the mecha cluster of the 1st Operation Department and the mecha cluster of the 5th Division has shown a staggered situation, but this situation does not mean that the current situation between the two armies is evenly balanced, because the staggered situation is mostly caused by the attack line of the mecha cluster of the 1st Operation Department continuously penetrating into the interior of the mecha cluster of the 5th Division. However, all of this changed dramatically after the left flank attack group formed by Task Force 6 and Task Force 5 cut diagonally and quickly into the starship cluster of the 5th Division, and the combined mech cluster of Task Force 6 and Task Force 5 struck the center of the enemy 5th Division's mech cluster unusually completely.
This work was very good, because the speed at which the 6th and 5th Task Forces defeated the 52nd Brigade and the 53rd Brigade was completely beyond the expectations of the 5th Division Ground Mecha Cluster Headquarters, so before the enemy had time to deploy more mecha troops to intercept and consolidate the defensive line connecting the original 52nd Brigade and the 53rd Brigade in this direction, the combined mech clusters of the 6th Task Force and the 5th Task Force were slashed near the defensive circle near the ground mech cluster headquarters of the 5th Division. In addition, the combined mech clusters of the 6th and 5th Task Forces immediately unleashed a three-plate axe-like fierce attack force, so that the enemy 54th Brigade guarding near the headquarters of the enemy's 5th Division was put down by an entire mecha battalion at the first time of the battle.
After Task Force 6 showed such a great threat, it was at this point that the powerful threat to the enemy command defensive circle had a huge impact on the entire battle situation became apparent. At this time, the two brigades of the enemy's 5th Division, which were struggling to resist the attack of the other four task forces of the 1st Operations Department in the front and left flank positions, were unable to maintain their defensive line at this time, and retreated in the direction of the ground mech cluster headquarters of the 5th Division, which was located in the center of the battlefield. The ground mecha clusters of the enemy's 5th Division, which had only 15 percent of its strength left, reluctantly put down their weapons and surrendered under the heavy encirclement of the mecha clusters of the six task forces of the First Operations Department.
