Chapter 33: The Wandering Earth's Counterattack
Seeing Qiao Lu lead the Na'vi Pterodactyl Knight to rush forward with great vigour, Colonel Quaqi couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Their main ground forces have been blown up by us, why are the air force units coming up to die?"
Puzzled, he hurriedly ran to the observation room of the flagship and asked the observers inside, "How many of them have been killed by the satellites?" ”
The observer's voice trembled, "Sir······ See for yourself. ”
Colonel Quacch looked at the satellite monitoring map and found that the jungle position was covered with yellow dots indicating signs of life before they bombed, but after they bombed, the yellow dots were still dense, and there was no sign that they had just suffered a devastating blow.
"How is this possible!?"
Colonel Quachy hurriedly looked at the position that had turned into a sea of fire, and judging by the density of their bombardment, it was impossible for any living creature on the surface to survive.
Could it be that the satellite monitoring is wrong? There is no one there at all?
But what happened next dispelled his doubts, or more precisely, turned his doubts into fear.
I saw that on the position that had turned into a scorched earth, the hatches of the underground tunnels were opened, and a large number of wandering earth soldiers wearing power exoskeletons came out of it.
Obviously, the answer to the carpet bombardment was the tunnels, which used Pandora's land as shelter and retained their vital strength under this insane firefight.
Although it seemed like a primitive and simple method, Colonel Quatsch was almost mad when he saw this.
"How did they dig these tunnels in such a short period of time? How can this kind of thing be dug up in a month! ”
Yes, he saw that it was a heinously well-developed tunnel position, and if this kind of thing could be dug up in a week, then their RDA would have hollowed out Pandora a long time ago, so there was no need to mine here slowly.
However, no one told him that he was dealing with a people of 3.5 billion people who all lived in dungeons.
You ask the wanderers of the earth why they are so good at digging tunnels? Why don't you ask why fish swim?
With this fatal error of judgment, Colonel Quarc carried out an almost senseless carpet bombing.
He thought that he had eliminated the main ground forces of the other side, but in fact he had only spent the ammunition of his own air force.
When he saw the Wandering Earth troops pouring out of the tunnels, Colonel Quart realized that he had completely fallen for the other side.
He hurriedly ordered: "All return, supply ammunition back and continue bombing!" ”
However, at this time, the Pterodactyl Knight troops led by Qiao Lu had already pounced and were entangled with the RDA Air Force, which had exhausted its air-to-surface missiles.
This is the biggest role that the Na'vi can play, using the highly mobile Icaran Pterodactyl Knights to entangle the enemy's air force, gain temporary air supremacy for the wandering Earth forces on the ground, and take the Hell's Gate military base in one fell swoop.
All of Qiao Lu's training for them before was for this day, as long as the RDA's air force can't provide fire support on the ground, then the troops of the Wandering Earth will be able to drive straight to the gates of hell!
"Hold them off!"
Qiao Lu asked the Phantom Wyvern to grab the tail of a scorpion attack plane, and slammed it towards another scorpion attack plane like a hammer, and the two scorpions came into close contact in the air, and they were smashed like eggs.
The other Na'vi rode Icaran pterosaurs that didn't have the same strength as Phantom Pterodactyls, but they were able to use their greater mobility to grab a scorpion attack plane in groups of three or five and work together to take down a helicopter.
But in the end, their main goal is not to destroy how many scorpions they can destroy, they only need to entangle the enemy with their high mobility.
Most of the time, they control the Pterodactyl and Scorpion attack planes to play a game of chasing and running, and once you stop chasing, they will come back and harass you.
The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and disturbs me, this is the most critical tactic that Qiao Lu taught them.
Qiao Lu is actually the only one who really has an effective means of killing, not only because of the Phantom Wyvern who can throw a helicopter as a toy, but also because of the powerful ball flash rifle in his hand.
"You can't resist the forces of nature! Ball lightning sort of, probably. ”
Qiao Lu said and pulled the trigger of the ball flash rifle, and suddenly a powerful electric current converged on the barrel of the gun in his hand, and quickly formed a sphere.
With a deafening pop, a blue thunderball roared with a hurricane of death and flew towards a scorpion attack plane.
The ball lightning spread out the moment it touched the shell of the scorpion cabin, enveloping the entire helicopter in a dazzling electric light.
A powerful electric current flowed through the cabin, and with a slight crackling sound, the steel melted and the flesh was charred.
This ball lightning bolt directly destroyed a poisonous scorpion attack plane, and it only took a few seconds to recharge before Qiao Lu was ready for the next ball lightning.
The superconducting battery made of superconducting ore can also support dozens of ball lightning shots, and before that, Qiao Lu can slaughter this group of RDA air force units.
While Jolu was wiping out the RDA's air force on it, the Wandering Earth Army on the ground also began to attack the Gates of Hell.
They did not rush all at once, as Colonel Quach had thought, but kept a battle group of three men, three infantry squads and three infantry squads into one battle group, and launched an array to attack in a skirmisher formation.
This set of infantry tactics is already very mature in the Wandering Earth, and the application of the dynamic exoskeleton provides a greater possibility for such a squad assault combat operation.
For example, firefighters in combat teams can be equipped with individual Gatling revolving machine guns, which can rain down horrific bullets on enemies and provide powerful fire support to teammates.
The sniper is also equipped with a large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle, which can not only accurately shoot enemy soldiers, but even the bulletproof glass of the AMP mecha cockpit can't stop one of its armor-piercing rounds, so he doesn't dare to ignore the sniper's presence at all.
The last bombardier truly possessed the power of a unicorn arm with the help of a powered exoskeleton, and could throw all kinds of fragment grenades, smoke grenades, and flashbangs directly into the crowd, seriously disrupting the enemy formation and making the RDA soldiers miserable.
With such a force configuration, even if the enemy rushing up is only in the single digits, the RDA has to carry out a comprehensive fire suppression, so as not to completely disrupt its formation.
As a result, their dense firepower is mostly hitting the air, and there is no mowing pleasure at all against the crowd tactics, but more of a powerful grievance, wasting ammunition in vain against the enemy hiding behind cover.
I have to say that this is the difference in the quality of individual combat between the two sides, even if the soldiers on the Wandering Earth face the firepower of ten enemy people alone, they can calmly execute tactics and even launch a charge, which seems to be suppressed but is actually orderly.
On the RDA side, they must maintain a good formation to maintain morale, and once the formation is disrupted, it will not be able to prevent the emergence of deserters.
They are just mercenaries who take money to do things, how can they really work for the RDA? As soon as they entered a situation of fighting on their own, they immediately dispersed.
Therefore, even though the number and firepower are overwhelmingly superior, the RDA is still gradually eating away at the outer defensive positions with the superb infantry tactics of the Wandering Earth Force.
When they reacted, they had already retreated to the inner perimeter of the Hell's Gate military base, and if they took a step back, they would even have to give up the airport.
The RDA mercenaries had to form a tight front and hold their only way home.
At this moment, there was nothing left in their minds but regret, why should they face what a terrible army they had always been?
These people are not refugees at all, but an elite army of a hundred battles!
The iron-clad army born in the frozen snowfields and chilling ice caves on the wandering earth is not comparable to the mercenaries who were bought with money by the RDA!
