Chapter Eighty-Three: A City Without Air Defense

Countless huge searchlights illuminated the lifting platform, a full 2,000 Imperial samurai and tank killers lined up in several huge phalanxes, 50 Tsunami tanks lined up in front of the team, 100 Striker VX and Tengu mechs hovered above the tanks, and 30 Rocket Angels flew high above the infantry cluster, if it was any lower, the cluster flames from the asynchronous propulsion devices on their feet were enough to scorch the soldiers below.

Everyone stood upright, holding their breath and waiting for the commander's orders. This isn't one of the virtual characters in the game that move from time to time even when assembled, it's reality! This is a military base! These are armies ready to go to war! They will bleed! They will sweat! They will bring destruction and death to their enemies! Real death!

Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a strong pride in his heart, this was his army, a loyal army, there were more soldiers under the lifting platform who were busy building the base, and in those tall and magnificent instantaneous dojos and imperial mechanical workshops, more troops were being produced, they would become the first wave of power to defeat the Zerg, and they would become the strongest line of defense between humans and the Zerg.

"My army doesn't need to be mobilized, intelligence officer."

"Yes, they are incomparably loyal, Commander!"

"Let's go, then!" Qin Feng watched the lifting platform slowly rise.

"When they return from victory, I will give them the logo of a peacekeeping force, and there are more difficult tasks waiting for them in the future."

Once again, the river cascades down the open giant deck, the lifting platform slowly lifts out of the water in the vapor, and with a muffled "pop", the docking device successfully connects the platform to the edge of the highway around the city on the river bank, and a large number of thunderbolt transports disguised as wrecked cars will carry these soldiers to the distance to find a mission as a warrior.

Qin Feng boarded the Longbow Apache helicopter gunship piloted by a mecha pilot, he wanted to go to the battlefield to direct the army to attack, in order to hone his almost blank sheet of military command quality, he sat in the position of a weapon hand protected by a bulletproof deck, this battle does not need this helicopter to shoot, it only needs to hover high in the sky of the battlefield to ensure that it is not shot down.

"The target is selected in Taizhou City, and the battle is expected to start in an hour." The intelligence officer reconfirmed the battle plan to the commander: "After the battle is won, the armed mining vehicles will take over until the city is completely cleared." There were no human troops or settlements in the vicinity of the war zone, and there were no signs of living people in the city. ā€

"Reinforcements are made up entirely of air forces and can be there for you in 12 minutes." Toyama finally reminded again.

"I'm not going to give them a shot." Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand to Toyama Shan through the fully transparent glass cabin.

The biggest advantage of the imperial army is precisely its biggest shortcoming, almost completely relying on the incomparable science fiction of the advanced technology that has not been tested in actual combat, the army can indeed bring huge casualties and overwhelmed to the enemy in a surprise attack, but this is a world of traditional mechanical warfare, just like in the case that European and American countries have developed various advanced high-precision guided missiles and bombs, China still maintains a traditional artillery cluster, firepower, is always one of the indispensable decisive factors in determining the outcome of a war.

The Imperial Army lacked precisely this factor.

The army marched to the outside of Taizhou City, and the scattered insects along the way were all wiped out, but according to the normal human army, at this time, the city should be bombarded indiscriminately in all directions with heavy artillery clusters, and the Empire's combat readiness determined that it could only omit this vital link.

"The ground forces set up a line of defense on the spot, the Air Force continued to advance, the Tengu dispersed and took care of the safety of the strikers, and the striker VX attacked indiscriminately against ground units. Rocket Angels are on standby. ā€

The order was quickly conveyed to the ears of every soldier, an advantage that traditional human armies could not match. The Thunderbolt quickly halted and released the troops inside, while the Tengu and the Striker flew quickly over the ground forces and continued to fly towards the city.

The first step is to clear the opponent's air power and anti-aircraft fire. Qin Feng flipped through the battle plan in his hand, the bugs that were wreaking havoc on the earth were no longer like the alien insects in the interstellar game, and he really wanted to see what they had developed on the earth.

The attack of hundreds of self-guided missiles, Qin Feng had never seen it, and he had never imagined that the missiles with their heads painted red were like a meteor shower that occurred during the day, slashing through the spiral tail flames and smashing towards the dense buildings in the city, smashing out huge flames, smashing up the flying stone chips, and smashing the boundless sea of insects.

Countless insects poured out from the building, and in Qin Feng's eyes, which was a hundred meters above the attacker, that wave of missiles was like a torrential rain that had washed down an ant's nest, and the originally empty streets of the entire city were filled with insects after only a moment.

"Insect plague!" These two words suddenly appeared in Qin Feng's mind, and then goosebumps appeared irrepressibly.

One after another, the missiles pierced the streets, and the insects were torn into countless pieces, splashing into the sky under the pressure of the huge shock wave generated by the explosion of the missiles, but in a few moments, countless blanks mixed with green colors appeared in the black and oppressive streets.

The indiscriminate attack of the striker lasted for twenty minutes, and the blank spaces in the streets appeared longer and longer, and the speed at which the swarms closed was noticeably slower, indicating that the number of bugs was gradually decreasing.

Just, what about flying bugs?

"Toyama cedar, you specifically found a city where there are no flying bugs?" Qin Feng was sticking to the glass cover and watching the entire city intently, and the attack that lasted for twenty minutes was not counterattacked by a single alien insect.

"No, the distribution of the opponent's troops was not taken into account when choosing the target, although this situation is unexpected, but given that the number of flying insects on the earth is indeed scarce, there is a certain possibility." Toyama enlarged the screen in front of him, trying to find a different trace from the dense swarm of insects on the street.

"Then keep up the firepower, there will always be what it should be, and they won't watch the whole city be razed to the ground."

The offensive continued, and the Striker VX, escorted by the Tengu, poured all his ammunition into the streets without hesitation, piling up more and more pieces of insect corpses, and fewer and fewer insects still active on the streets. Literally razing the city to the ground was just a statement, unless Qin Feng used a superweapon that was not mentioned in the construction sequence at all, he could only empty a city's swarm by sending ground troops.

In a city, after seeing the boundless sea of insects, Qin Feng even asked if there were too few people he had brought. The subsequent missile attack gave him confidence.

"The swarm on the streets has been reduced to the point where a missile can no longer cause massive damage, and in 10 minutes I will send in ground troops." Qin Feng said.

"Is it necessary to assemble ground troops?" Toyama asked that the base could gather several times the size of the army led by Qin Feng at any time, but this operation was originally just to test the real combat effectiveness of the army in the face of the insect swarm, and if all the forces were put into it, it would really become a complete all-out war.

"Not at the moment. Unexpected circumstances can test the combat capability of an army. Qin Feng carefully switched between the images from the tengu one by one, until he was sure that only the most ordinary alien insects appeared on the ground again, and he finally made up his mind.

"Ground forces, sortie!"

The missile attack was immediately terminated at the same time as Qin Feng's order, and the streets of the whole city were as if they had been ploughed by a plow, full of deep and shallow pits blown out by missiles, and the soil that would never be seen in ordinary cities was exposed under the flying cement pavement, and the fire hydrants damaged by the flying shrapnel spewed out strong water columns, and the surviving insects around them left this wet area one after another, and only some strange insects that were on fire rushed into this water area blindly.

Many insects noticed the anomaly shortly after the missile attack ended, and they burrowed into the floors and basements, except for the sturdy buildings that did not collapse under the missile attack, making them the best refuge for these strange-behaving bugs.

At the toll booth at the exit of the highway Taizhou, the 50 tsunami tanks gathered here simultaneously sounded the roar of the engines, and the four tracks did not leave any traces on the asphalt road, the lightest main battle tanks are known for their high speed and high attack frequency, and they will provide strong and guaranteed fire support for ground forces in street battles.

2,000 soldiers, divided into 25 teams of 80 men led by two tanks, marched into the city along their assigned streets.
