The storm that lasted for several days finally stopped, and finally waited for a sunny day, He Xiangdong stretched his almost moldy body, and slowly walked out of the dormitory, the scorching sun shining on his dark face, making him instinctively tilt his head to avoid it.

It's in the tropics, and although the sun doesn't rise for long, the sun is very hot.

When his eyes adjusted to the bright light outside, he raised his eyes to look into the distance, and a modern port came into his sight.

This is the new garrison of the defenders of Bucha, located in the port of Sidan on the west coast of Calidan, one of the most important strategic nodes in the northern capital.

Xidan Port was originally just a simple fishing port, except for the hydrological conditions, almost useless, the reason why it can develop to this point is because the northern capital has placed the rail elevator here.

Since then, the port of Xidan has been out of control, whether it is the materials sent from the mainland, or the goods transported from space, they have to be transshipped through the port of Xidan, and the small fishing port has become the largest port in Kalidan, and it is also the most important port in strategic location.

Since Karidan is located in the tropics and is at the forefront of the fight against aliens, in order to ensure the safety of the rail elevators, the military has stationed two entire brigades here!

These two brigades are not second-line units newly built after the outbreak of war, but real front-line combat units, with several hundred tanks and armored vehicles alone, aircraft, missiles, artillery, and even a batch of power armor.

But only in one batch.

In the past few years, there have indeed been calls for expanding the power armor force, and even equipping the entire army with power armor.

But the military soon realized that power armor, while good, was not a panacea, and it was simply unrealistic to fully equip it with power armor.

First of all, there is the issue of cost, even in today's wartime system, the cost of power armor is still high, and this alone limits the scale of power armor equipment.

Secondly, power armor is only a small arms platform, to put it bluntly, this thing is just a strengthened version of infantry, although it is mobile and flexible, but compared with traditional land units, there is still a huge gap between it and traditional land units, and it cannot replace tank armored vehicles.

Again, the Northern Capital now has the largest army in the world, and just equipping every soldier with a rifle is an astronomical unit of expenditure, not to mention what equipment the whole army is, even if only one percent of the troops are equipped, it is also in millions.

Not to mention the Northern Capital, even if all the countries in the world are united, they can't build so many power armor in more than ten or twenty years.

All kinds of factors are combined, and there are very few pure power armored units in the combat sequences of various countries, and only the orbital airborne troops of the Space Force, the airborne troops of the Air Force, and some elite units of the Army have this treatment, and other units that can be equipped with a small amount of power armor can be called elite divisions.

In contrast, the power exoskeleton is both economical and affordable, and it is equipped on a large scale with combat units in various countries, including the defenders of Xidan Port.

Within He Xiangdong's line of sight, there was a group of sappers wearing power exoskeletons, who lifted the heavy box like a strong man, and threw it with one hand, and threw the box far away without much effort.

Such a scene is so common in the port of Sidan that no one pays attention to these humanoid cranes.

He Xiangdong's eyes turned to the east, under the dazzling sunlight, the rail elevator went straight to the sky, just when an air train entered the station, a line of sunlight was reflected by the body, leaving a faint spot in He Xiangdong's eyes.

He instinctively narrowed his eyes, and the gaze that fell on the cable stretched upwards, but he could not see the end of the cable...... Except for gifted perverts, no one can see the low-orbit dock outside the atmosphere with the naked eye, unless the sun is shining at the right angle!

A distant whistle suddenly sounded from the direction of the wharf, He Xiangdong immediately turned around, and his gaze immediately froze - outside the port, a scarred giant ship was slowly approaching the port driven by a tugboat.

Inside the port, countless people and vehicles rushed to the dock, and there were more than a dozen ambulances flashing their siren lights alone.

He Xiangdong's good mood disappeared, and he looked at the dock with a solemn expression.

He was tempted to go and have a look, but his superiors had given him the task of guarding the harbor, and his duty was to guard against insect swarms, not to rescue ships in port.

There are professionals on the dock, no matter what problems occur with the ships calling at the port, there are special people in charge.

The giant ship finally approached the dock, and the side side slowly opened, and soon it was set up on the pier, turning into a bridge in and out of the ship's hold.

The staff who rushed to the dock immediately poured into the cabin, and the ambulance drove directly in, that is, ten or twenty seconds, the first ambulance drove out of the ro-ro wheels, and sped all the way out of the port in the screeching siren.

The camp of the port guards is on the side of the port exit, guarding the main road into the port, and the departing ambulance drives by not far away, He Xiangdong silently looked at the ambulance in the distance, stunned.

"Commander, what's wrong?" Deputy head Zhao Guoyu asked curiously.

He Xiangdong sighed: "This is the seventeenth ship, and the aliens have been too rampant recently, right?" Where are our warships? ”

There are several huge ships in Xidan Port every day, although there is a naval escort, but from He Xiangdong to here, none of the giant ships that call at the port are intact.

According to the base command, the ships were attacked by aliens at sea.

He Xiangdong knew that aliens had not been in good health recently, but he had never heard of aliens attacking passing ships at sea, so he didn't figure out how aliens attacked.

It wasn't until he got the details of the attack that he learned that the main force of the attack was a flying servant.

They usually hide near the shipping lane, spot passing ships and quietly follow them, and when they have focused on enough of their servants, some of them attack the escorting ships to attract fire, and some take the opportunity to attack the ro-ro wheels.

The aliens' tactics are quite appropriate, but it's a pity that the mercerized power is a bit low, and it's not so easy to high-five a 10,000-ton giant ship, and there are also self-defense weapons on the roll-on/roll-off wheels, so far, only one giant ship has been sunk by aliens.

It was the first giant ship to be attacked by aliens, and in addition to supplies, there were more than 1,000 military families, hundreds of technicians and their families on board, which can be described as a heavy loss.

After that, the military learned from the pain, greatly strengthened the escort force, and at the same time carried out the necessary transformation of the giant ship, after the fight, no giant ship was sunk by aliens.

But the alien attacks have not stopped, and they have become more and more intensified, and the giant ships that call at the port are getting worse and worse, and if they continue like this, it will not be long before the second giant ship will be sunk.
