Chapter 252: Rushing Rain Star No. 4

At this time, the wind was raging on the Raindrop Star, and in the vast area of the logistics base on the north side of the central city of the Raindrop Star, there was a spectacular scene of 30,000 mechs strangled together. On the attacking side, the 6th Task Force and the 5th Task Force first forced their way into the logistics base area from south to north, while the defenders of the 51st Brigade's first line of defense were defeated in the first round in the face of the all-out attack of the 6th and 5th Task Forces.

The first battalion of the 51st Brigade regiment, which lost the integrity of the first line of defense, immediately retreated to its second line of defense in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated, and at this time, the 6th Task Force and the 5th Task Force had no intention of letting the enemy breathe, and when the defenders of the first line of defense of the 51st Brigade retreated, they entangled the enemy's tail more quickly and did not let go, so the mecha cluster of the 1st battalion of the 51st Brigade was gnawed off by the attack troops of the 6th Task Force and the 5th Task Force in the process of retreating. In the end, only two companies of mecha troops were left to retreat into the second line of defense, and the 51st Brigade also deployed the second and third battalions on the second line of defense to defend it.

In terms of offensive intent, the preparations of Task Force 6 and Task Force 5 are to quickly resolve the resistance of the ground forces of the 51st Brigade in preparation for the first wave of counterattack by the reinforcements of the Senrui Security Group, which requires the mecha clusters of the 6th and 5th Task Forces to resolve the current ground battle on the Raindrop Star as soon as possible.

Therefore, when the mech clusters of the 6th and 5th Task Forces rushed to the second line of defense maintained by the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 51st Brigade, even though the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 51st Brigade were ready to be provoked and not to be messed with, the mech clusters of the 6th and 5th Task Forces did not hesitate to easily overwhelm the mech clusters of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 51st Brigade on the second line of defense like a wave of overwhelming frenzy. After encountering the fierce attack of the 6th Task Force and the 5th Task Force, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 51st Brigade did not panic, but showed their confidence as the old giant imperial soldiers of the Barlow Empire, and directly launched a wave of counter-charge against the mech clusters of the 6th and 5th Task Forces, trying to delay the attack of the 6th and 5th Task Force mech clusters.

In the face of this tactical move made by the enemy, the 6th Task Force immediately divided two battalions to deal with the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the enemy's 51st Brigade alone, and the sailors battalion of the aircraft carrier Lucky Cat and the Owl aircraft carrier were selected to carry out this task. After the enemy 2nd and 3rd Battalion mech clusters were dispersed and fixed in the surrounding engagement area, the 6th and 5th Task Force 5 mech clusters ignored the defenders of the enemy's second line of defense, and instead bypassed the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 51st Brigade and headed straight for the third and final line of defense of the enemy's 51st Brigade.

The two remaining companies of the 1st Battalion of the 51st Brigade that had fled to the second line of defense saw that there was nothing to be done on the side of the second line of defense, so they immediately fled to the side of the third line of defense. At this time, the Lucky Cat Aircraft Carrier Sailor Battalion and the Owl Aircraft Carrier Sailor Battalion stayed and began to fight to the death with the defenders of the two mecha battalions on the enemy's second line of defense, and the mecha clusters of the enemy's second and third battalions were melee together.

At this moment, although the mecha clusters of the second and third battalions of the 51st Brigade on the opposite side are also fighting hard, the comprehensive combat power of the mecha clusters of the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion and the Owl Sailor Battalion is really much stronger than the mecha clusters on the 51st Brigade's side, which leads to the mecha clusters of the 51st Brigade and not destroying many opponents' mecha while fighting hard, but many mechas are constantly knocked down by the mecha of the two sailor battalions of the Lucky Cat and the Owl, and after fifteen minutes of combat time have passed, The mecha clusters of the Lucky Cat and Owl sailor battalions had wiped out 70 percent of the mechs of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 51st Brigade of the enemy, that is, about 3,000 enemy mechs had been knocked down, and only about 200 mechs had been lost.

When the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 51st Brigade were faced with this critical situation, their commanders finally led their troops to surrender after looking at the casualty data, and in this way, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the 51st Brigade still had no hope of victory after losing about 70 percent of their strength, so they had to surrender to the side of the 6th Task Force.

After the battle at the second line of defense, the two sailor battalions of the Lucky Cat and the Owl rushed all the way to the enemy's third line of defense with their captives without the slightest delay, and at this time, the third line of defense of the 51st Brigade had already become a pot of porridge, and the other mecha battalions of the 6th Task Force and the mechs of the 5th Task Force had now divided and surrounded the last two battalions of the 51st Brigade on the third line of defense, and were now gradually narrowing the encirclement distributed throughout the battlefield.

When Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng led the team to the enemy's third line of defense, they could see at a glance that the mecha cluster on the last third line of defense of the enemy's 51st Brigade was already at the end of the road, and at this time, the sailor battalions of the Lucky Cat and the Owl also received the order of the Sixth Task Force to suppress the Marquis of Wang Li, who led the battle, and the Marquis of the regiment asked the sailor battalion of the Lucky Cat and the Owl to patrol the periphery of the engagement area, so as to prevent the remnants of the enemy from escaping.

After twenty minutes of fighting on the 51st Brigade's third line of defense, the 51st Brigade's ground marines' last resistance was finally crushed, and most of the enemy 51st Brigade's mechs fell to the ground in a five-kilometer radius of the center of the Raindrop Star logistics area, while the mech clusters of the 6th and 5th Task Forces also lost 10 percent of their mechs after the battle.

After the battle here, the sixth task force and the fifth task force immediately carried out emergency battlefield repair on their own mecha that fell to the ground, and finally repaired all the battle-damaged mecha to be able to operate normally, but part of the combat module of the mecha was still destroyed and could not be repaired temporarily, so the part of the mecha that was repaired could only be used as a reserve force, and the casualties were also well controlled, only fifty seriously wounded were taken to the starship for key treatment, and none of them died. The other generals who were slightly injured continued to pilot the mechs to prepare for the mission after a brief treatment.

After the successful conclusion of the ground battle in Raindrop, the ground mech clusters of Task Forces 6 and Task Force 5 hurriedly rested and recuperated, replenishing the ammunition for all the mechs' cannons and repairing some of the damaged and deformed alloy weapons on the mechs. At this time, Zhang Hai and Zhang Heng were also leading the soldiers of the Lucky Cat Sailor Battalion to urgently repair their mechas, and at this time, the voice of the first mate Wang Kang suddenly sounded in the command channel of the Lucky Cat: Hey, hey, have you heard, this time the actions of our Sixth Task Force and Fifth Task Force really made a big deal, after hearing Wang Kang say the news, the sailor battalion commander Zhang Hai immediately asked in the command channel: What is the situation, is it possible that the Barlow Empire has any reaction?

After hearing Zhang Hai's question, the first mate Wang Kang said: That's not it, when you were fighting on the ground just now, the battlefield intelligence system on the regiment headquarters mentioned that the Senrui Group of the Barlow Empire gathered all the other five brigades of the 5th Division after learning the news of the loss of the Rain Spot, and came from the assembly area outside the five star fields towards the Wind and Rain Star Domain, and it is expected to arrive near the Rain Star in twelve hours.

When he said this, the first mate Wang Kang also added another sentence coldly: The good news is that the 1234th Task Force of our First Operations Department has also assembled outside the four star fields to come to this wind and rain star field where we are located, brothers don't need to watch it, we are on a big show this time.
