Chapter 174: Crotan's Final Battle (1)
It's been a whole day and a night, 20,000 VS 200,000, and the huge gap in strength is like an insurmountable moat. A heavy sense of oppression hangs over everyone's heart.
This is a battle with no chance of winning, the rebels are cornered, and at the end of the war, the enemy's armored groups will rush up from all directions, slaughtering everyone in the base with their cold tracks and guns with the heavy smell of gunpowder.
The knife, already hanging overhead, the gallows already around the neck......
But, so what, as long as the heart is still beating, the blood is still flowing, and the gun is still in hand, then it will never give in, and a true warrior would rather die standing than live on his knees.
A missile exploded in the trench, scattering shrapnel into a soldier's shoulder, blood flowing down the cracks in the power armor and spilling a red patch on the icy snow. He didn't scream, didn't call for help, didn't even move his body, his right hand still held the machine gun in front of him, and shot bullets at the enemy on the other side of his sight.
"Boom!" A ground-attack missile dropped by a Raptor fighter jet knocked down a cannon bunker. Not far away, an insurgent soldier dug through the rubble, dug up his dead companions, then lifted the back handle of the cannon that could still fire, and continued to unleash rows of bullets filled with anger and grief at the opposing infantry cluster.
"Don't give up, don't cry, like a man, pick up your gun......" The soldier's hand hung limply, and the boiling blood melted the cold ice. Next to him was a female soldier crying like a tearful man.
"Even if I can't bury this decaying country in my lifetime, at the very least, I can still pull a few cushions on my back before I die. Let's hit the road together, you damn bastards. "A rebel soldier with most of his power armor rotten and covered in blood jumped out of the trench. Leap and pounce into the crowd.
"Boom!" A dazzling flash of light lit up the sky, and a raging flame burst out, sending a "Earth Knight" armored squad swept into the air by the blast, and the shockwave swept them away, "Click." Let's go. "Dead dogs generally fall to the ground.
In a trench, the trapezoidal section covered by steel plates was stained with blood, and a rebel soldier held his lower abdomen oozing blood, and a smile squeezed out of his pale face: "Leave me alone, I can still hold on, save him first......"
Beside him was a small man shot in the chest, blood gushing from his chest and sliding down the folds of his clothes. A puddle of blood on the ice.
The medic didn't know if he didn't hear it, or if he was a little slow to react, and didn't do what he said.
"I said, save him first!" The soldier who had been shot in the abdomen roared angrily, and the violent movements ripped at the wound, and blood gushed out like a spring......
The casualties continued, blood froze into bright red ballasts on the ground and was crushed into a pile of debris by the sleds of armed motorcycles that rumbled by. Large and small bullet casings were scattered on the snow, and the blood-red ice cubes next to them were scattered. In the sunlight, a circle of golden yellow is reflected.
The government's vanguard armored corps has advanced to a 5km area outside the base, and the metal and iron of the tank axles and tracks rubbing against each other roams the battlefield.
The rebel army was already in a precarious position, and once the forward positions were lost, the missile bases would be exposed to the enemy, and the situation of the war had developed to such a point that any tactics would be meaningless. In the face of tens of thousands of armored vehicles of the government army, the defensive firepower of the base is simply not enough.
In the fire control center of the base, the operators of the artillery group were busy sweating profusely, and the shouts in the communication channel were continuous.
"Command Center, Southwest. 45.03, 47.98, artillery support is urgently needed ......"
"Command center, azimuth 46.53, 45.53, altitude 100, knock out that armed shuttle for me."
“……”
"Lieutenant Colonel, the early warning radar detected traces of the 'Viper' heavy missile, heading for W465, target, the main gun of our Area A." A radar operator said with an anxious look on his face.
"What about anti-aircraft missiles? Hurry up and intercept. Chesterton looked at the small red dot on the radar screen that was getting closer and closer, his face became extremely ugly, the defensive firepower of the base was not enough, if the large-caliber railguns in Area A were knocked out again, the armored elite cavalry of the government army would drive straight in and completely capture the entire base.
"No, the optimal response time has passed, the missile is too fast to shoot it down." The missile defense system operator said with a sweaty face, fine beads of sweat slid down his temples and wet his neck.
"What should I do?" Chesterton felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"Medium...... Lieutenant Colonel, ...... Gone, the missiles are gone. At that moment, the radar operator's voice was mixed with surprise and disbelief.
"The missiles are gone? What's going on? Chesterton was stunned, how could a heavy missile like the Viper, which is used to strike large ground targets, disappear in vain.
"Look, look...... That...... What is that? A woman's exclamation came from the corner of the hall.
Chesterton followed the prestige, and saw a dark-skinned Indian girl staring at a subsidiary monitor with a stunned expression.
"Huh?" He looked up and saw a cloud of flames surging in the frame of the monitor, and thick smoke covered most of the sky. In the rolling flames, a line of blue was faster than lightning, and it inadvertently crossed the sky.
"Oh, my God! What is that. Chesterton's eyes widened, "Nora, quickly adjust the camera angle and keep up with it." ”
"Yes." A female officer quickly pressed a few buttons on the touch platform, and the light and shadow flashed on the screen in the center of the hall, and a slightly clearer picture appeared in front of everyone.
In the sky filled with gunsmoke and firelight, a blue light was like thunder and lightning that pierced the sky on a rainy night, one, two, three, four...... A total of ten trails of flame shot out from the fuselage, weaving through the sky like swimming fish, and then blasted one government aircraft after another into a pile of rags surrounded by flames and smoke.
The unfamiliar Skyborne Knight's trajectory turned, rising from the bottom to the sky, the fuselage spun rapidly, and the dense cannon flashed through the stratus clouds, turning another "Viper" missile that dived towards the base into a magnificent festive firework, and then, it spun sideways, and the entire fuselage sank into the clouds.
A second later, when it reappeared on the monitor, the gray clouds flickered, and countless metal fragments fell from the sky with raging flames, like a rain of fire.
"Aid...... Reinforcements, reinforcements...... But...... But where did they come from? Who's going to help us at this time......" Chesterton's gaze was a little glazed. In such a time, who will help the rebels?
