Chapter 24: Thor's Strike
Under the onslaught of government forces, the rebel positions were thrown into disarray, and in just a few minutes there were a large number of casualties among soldiers.
Unlike the government army, the rebel soldiers are equipped with mobile armor, many of the rebels wear mechanical bones, although the flexibility is better than the armor, but the defense is much worse, in this kind of artillery fire, this mechanical skeleton does not play much role at all.
On the other hand, on the side of the government army, more than 300 mechs under the unified command of the command headquarters, steadily advancing, even though the rebel mechs are also struggling to fight back, but the level of training is completely incomparable with the regular army, and they were quickly wiped out one by one, seeing that the rebel positions have shown signs of shaking.
"Keep fighting! Don't stop! Just push me up! "Mirin kept giving orders in the headquarters, little by little to steer the tide of the battle in a favorable direction.
Originally, the rebels' mechs had a numerical advantage, but at this time, they were overwhelmed by the government forces, and some rebels' confidence had begun to waver.
"It's horrible...... I...... I don't want to fight anymore......"
"No more fighting! I'm not fighting! ”
One by one, the rebel soldiers began to abandon their positions and flee to the rear, and the morale of the rebels began to gradually crumble, and more and more soldiers fled with the others.
The rout of the ordinary soldiers also affected those who operated the mechs, and these pilots also began to be timid as they watched others run away.
Finally, one of the mecha pilots lost confidence, turned the mech and followed the others to retreat, but after a few steps, a laser beam shot from behind him, bursting the weapon compartment behind the mecha.
Just listen to "Boom! With a bang, a huge explosion flattened everything within a hundred meters, and the upper body of the mecha was blown beyond recognition, leaving only two legs still standing in place.
More and more rebels began to flee, and it was already a matter of time before the position was lost, and at this time, Millin in the command headquarters naturally saw it clearly.
Mirin ordered: "Give me the infantry, try to destroy the rebels, and sweep away all this scum!" ”
Hundreds of personnel carriers, which had not been engaged in the battle, quickly moved into action, carrying soldiers over various rugged terrain, and quickly approached the rebel positions.
A troop carrier braked sharply to a stop, and as soon as the driver pressed the button at hand, he listened to "Click!" With a few sounds, the carriages behind were completely open in three directions in a matter of seconds, and the soldiers, who were held in place by the brackets, immediately broke free from their restraints, jumped down from different directions, and immediately plunged into the fierce battle.
The motorized infantry constantly jumped up and down with the help of the jet engines of the motorized armor on the potholed ground, and easily crossed places that would otherwise be difficult to pass, and it did not take long to rush into the rebel positions.
The soldiers on both sides began a fierce battle in close combat, all kinds of lasers and grenades flew everywhere, explosions were incessant, and lives were lost every second.
By this time, the rebels were on the verge of collapse, and a large number of soldiers were killed by government forces in the process of fleeing, and only a few rebels were still resisting.
However, as the government army's mecha stepped on the rebel position, the entire rebel army finally collapsed completely, both the mecha and the ordinary soldiers turned around and fled, and the government army followed behind and kept shooting, harvesting a large number of rebel lives.
Seeing that the battle was decided, cheers had already begun in the combat headquarters, and everyone applauded and sent all kinds of praises to Commander Mirin.
Mirin smiled and accepted everyone's praise, but muttered in his heart, "This is too easy, isn't it?" The rebels weren't so weak a month ago, otherwise would we still be trapped in Pegasus City? Could there be any problems here? ”
Just as he was thinking of this, an officer suddenly shouted: "Not good! There are a large number of enemy troops approaching to the west, about a hundred or more mechs! ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at Mirin, and Mirin felt much calmer when he heard the news.
"That's right, the rebels can't be so weak, they must have a backhand." Mirin said darkly.
"The 5th and 9th Corps were ordered to go to support, and the 4th Corps stayed behind to clean up the aftermath. In addition, let the city's reserve troops also go to support. Mirin calmly gave the order.
At this time, Shen Shan also learned about the changes on the battlefield on the Yanlong, and Shen Shan said to his adjutant: "I didn't expect this Mi Lin to still have some ability, but it's a pity that he is Huang Wei's person, otherwise I would really want to pull him over." ”
"This should be difficult, he has been following Huang Wei for some years, and he is the one who Huang Wei picked up." Adjutant said.
Shen Shan nodded and said, "Yes, it's basically impossible to pull him over, so I had to pack him up with me." ”
An officer interjected: "General, the rebels are reinforcing more and more troops, should we send troops to support?" ”
"Wait, it's not time yet." Shen Shan decisively refused.
By this time, Milling's forces had engaged in an exchange of fire with the rebels who had come to support them, and the two sides met in the wilderness west of Pegasus City, and the battle broke out.
Both sides are basically mecha troops, plus it is an encounter, so there is not much discipline, and they are directly mixed together.
This kind of melee between mechas, not to mention any tactics, the competition is purely the operator's skill, experience and luck, as long as the slightest carelessness will quickly die, the scene is quite terrifying and chaotic.
In a short time, the wilderness was littered with broken mechs and scattered parts, and flames and smoke were everywhere, like a legendary hell.
Overall, the government forces still have the advantage, after all, they have a clear advantage in equipment and training, and many of the rebels have not been soldiers at all, but have only joined the rebels temporarily, and the level of training is too different from that of the regular army.
However, the number of rebels is increasing, and a steady stream of follow-up troops is coming this way, and the regular army, no matter how strong it is, can withstand the large number of rebels.
Seeing that the mechs of the regular army are getting fewer and fewer, while the mechs of the rebels are still increasing, it seems that there is no end to it.
This time, it was the turn of the regular army to stand it, and some people began to break away from the chaotic battlefield, and the remaining mechs that were still fighting were also rapidly decreasing, and this time even Mirin began to sweat on his forehead.
"Continue to send reinforcements to the 7th Fleet, this side is almost unable to resist!" Millin shouted angrily.
"General, the vanguard of the rebels has approached our position!"
"Report, rebel troops have also appeared in the south of the city!"
One bad news after another came, and Mirin began to feel hopeless, the number of rebels was more than the previous siege of the city, indicating that the rebels everywhere were gathering towards Pegasus City, and if the fleet did not send troops to support it at this time, it would be a matter of time before Pegasus City fell.
"Oh no! Rebels have already stormed the city! ”
"Damn it!" Mirin slammed the table and said angrily, "Order the troops who maintain law and order in the city to go and stop it immediately!" The rest of the troops come with me, and I will lead the team myself! ”
"It's too dangerous for the general to do this! You can't leave the command post! The staff shouted in frustration.
"What kind of position are you talking about now! By the time the rebels come, it'll be too late! Mi Lin shouted: "I will lead the team to meet the rebels entering the city, and the command will be temporarily commanded by Colonel Zhang Cheng, and the others will continue to ask for help from the fleet!" ”
After giving the order, Milin led his guards to rush out of the headquarters, climbed onto the mechs and rushed outside the barracks.
At this time, a large number of rebels began to rush into the city, the streets were full of explosions, those who had not yet entered the shelter began to flee in panic, and Pegasus City, which had been held out for a month, finally became a battlefield.
Fierce fighting raged in the streets, and the once neat streets soon became a mess, with blazing fires everywhere and billowing smoke hanging over the city like a dark cloud.
"Help!"
"Run, the rebels are coming!"
"Help me!"
Screams resounded in every corner of the city, and as the rebels continued to pour in, the brutal slaughter began. With red-eyed rebels killed on sight, shops looted and burned, facilities vandalized, and the largest city on Leap Hill now a living hell.
The people in the underground shelters trembled with fear when they heard the explosions and killings outside, and clung to each other, unable to do anything but pray.
"Are they still refusing to help? What the hell are these people here for? Where is the chief grown-up now? Colonel Zhang Cheng, who commanded instead of Mi Lin, was completely panicked.
At this moment, a signal soldier shouted: "The fleet has replied!" There is a reply! ”
"What do they say?" Zhang Cheng suddenly pounced in front of the signal soldier, grabbed the other party's shoulders tightly with both hands and asked.
"The air strike will start in 5 minutes, please evacuate quickly!"
"What?" Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment.
Then he said angrily: "What a joke! Now the fleet takes an air strike, and the whole city will be destroyed! ”
"Yes...... It's ......" The signal soldier was so frightened by the angry Zhang Cheng that he couldn't speak.
"Brute! They're going to destroy us too! Zhang Cheng roared: "Everyone evacuate immediately and hide in the underground bunker!" Fast! ”
"General, the fleet is ready for a strike, can we start the attack?" Shen Shan's adjutant asked.
A cold light flashed in Shen Dan's eyes, and he said coldly: "Start attacking!" ”
At the sound of an order, more than 300 warships and more than 4,000 particle cannons of the 7th Fleet aimed at Pegasus City on the ground.
Crimson beams of light fell from the sky, turning the sky of Pegasus City as the color of blood. The ground was instantly scorched, and a fiery shockwave of thousands of degrees burned half of Pegasus City to ashes.
