Chapter Seventy-Two: The Battle of Shame
"Kill!"
Amid shouts of killing, heavy artillery fire from ground forces lit up the night sky.
Tens of thousands of light and heavy weapons fired at the Maltese assembly area in the city at the same time, and the assault brigades of the First Army of the Earth War Knife and the 120,000 army began to attack and advance like a tower.
Earth-shattering explosions rang out in the city, countless buildings were reduced to ashes in the artillery fire, and a battle began with massive forces from both sides.
This is undoubtedly a battle in which both sides are betting on it, and both the Maltese and the Earth want to suppress each other in this battle in terms of momentum and thus gain the initiative in the war.
Therefore, for the commanders of both sides, the success or failure of the battle is related to their own initiative on the battlefield in the future, and they naturally want to win the battle.
It's just that what the Maltese commander didn't expect was that the human side actually launched a surprise attack, and it was just when his own forces had just been assembled and he was about to attack.
"Damn, these low-level yellow dwarf ignorant races dare to be so bold and challenge the supreme authority of the Centauri Blue Star, it's extremely hateful!"
Just a few minutes after the ground forces launched the attack, the commander of the Maltese left-behind fleet in the city, who had just received a report of a surprise attack on the human side, and personally commanded the battle, Clone 3000, was furious, and his fanged mouth let out a strange howl.
He kept reprimanding the mecha and war beasts around him in the extremely ugly Mal Star language, a pair of fat horse ears covered with scales kept swinging, and the crimson snake on the yellow face showed a creepy fierce light in his eyes, and he looked like thunder, looking fierce and abnormal.
"Report to your lordship, now these yellow dwarf low-level creatures are menacing, our losses are serious, in order to ensure the safety of adults, my subordinates suggest that adults immediately evacuate the surface of the planet......"
Just when the commander of the Maltese fleet left behind, Clone 3000, was furious, a tall mecha that was originally standing next to him reminded.
"Fart! My high-ranking fleet commander in the Centauri mid-tier fourth-tier star system would be afraid of a creature in a low-tier tier four-star system? Since these yellow dwarfs are so ignorant, this Commander will personally meet them tonight and let them know the consequences of challenging Centauri! ”
Clone Three Thousand rudely interrupted the mecha's reminder in the Mal Star language, and the scaly face showed a fierce look, and after the bone spur tail swung, the huge fat body suddenly jumped on the back of a war beast dozens of stories tall next to it, and landed on the back of a monitor lizard-like semi-biochemical mechanical monster.
"Venerable Blue Star Warriors, the time has come to be loyal to the centaurs, and together with this commander, they will go out and crush these yellow dwarf ants!"
The commander of the Maltese fleet left behind opened his mouth wide, and on the back of the cancer-like semi-biochemical mechanical monster, he ordered a large number of mechs and war beasts to rush towards the battlefield where the fire was being exchanged.
On the human side, Yang Yi was piloting a huge artificial mecha and was engaged with the enemy under the fierce artillery fire of the First Assault Brigade.
Nearly an hour into the engagement, long-range fire from both sides, both in the air and on the ground, had been unleashed several times, turning into close-range fire.
Judging from the observation of the holographic command system, the battlefield situation so far is still relatively favorable to the human side.
By this time, the air engagement had basically come to an end. Although the Maltese Pentagon was powerful, due to the suddenness of the attack launched by the human side, the pentagonal spacecraft responded in a hurry, and the number was suppressed by the human Bat-type spacecraft, so it was unable to organize an effective counterattack, and most of them were shot down.
Seeing that they could not resist the attack of human beings, only a few hundred spaceships fled in groups to the warring airspace, and some even climbed directly out of the earth's atmospheric dust and fled in a hurry in the direction of the remaining fleet in the airspace 300 kilometers above the earth.
However, since Yang Yi launched a surprise attack, he also thought of the possibility of the enemy being defeated and fleeing, and had already arranged bat-type spaceships on the periphery of the combat area and in the airspace at different altitudes.
At this point, the air battle between the two sides ended with the Maltese losing nearly 2,000 ships, and the human side also paid a considerable price, nearly 800 ships were shot down and 300 damaged.
Although mankind has won the air war, it has not won easily.
The situation on the ground battlefield is much more complicated. Since the troops of both sides are at the level of 100,000 and the distance is relatively close, although the human side has a certain advantage in mind when it launches a surprise attack.
However, after all, the Maltese ground forces were armed with a medium fourth-level planet, and after experiencing the initial panic and helplessness, losing nearly 40,000 troops, the defeated front finally stabilized a little under the supervision of the commander of the remaining fleet.
He also organized tens of thousands of huge mecha and war beasts to launch several counter-charges against the positions of the Earth War Knife Assault Brigade, although they were all repelled by the assault brigades, which was enough to reflect the strong combat power of the Maltese ground forces.
As a result, although the human side of the air battle was victorious, the ground battlefield seemed to be stalemate, of course, because the Maltese suffered relatively large losses at the beginning, and now have about 60,000 troops capable of fighting.
Although the Earth War Knife also has a loss of more than 10,000 people, and the remaining troops are maintained at more than 100,000, the human side still has an advantage in the total number of people, but if you want to destroy the remaining ground forces of the Maltese in a short period of time, it is obviously not easy to do it with the current strength alone.
Yang Yi assessed the current situation with a gloomy face, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face.
The stalemate on the ground made his heart rise, if he couldn't fight quickly and end the battle at night, after dawn, the disadvantage of his side would be revealed.
This is an area controlled by the Maltese, and if the opponent withstands the attack and stalemates for a long time, the consequences will be unimaginable if the opponent's reinforcements arrive.
"Brigade Commander Zhang, how is the battle situation in the air now?"
After frowning and thinking for a while, Yang Yi thought of the air assault brigade that had ended the battle, and couldn't help but ask.
"Commander Yang, at present, we control the air supremacy in the engagement area, and we are arranging for the remaining spacecraft to be on alert, and to establish a defensive isolation zone to prevent the enemy's air power from reinforced." Zhang Xian's tall and thin figure appeared on the holographic video and said.
"Brigade Commander Zhang, now the battle situation on the ground is relatively stalemate, you immediately dispatch a part of the spacecraft to bomb the coordinates controlled by the following Maltese, and contain the energy of some of the Maltese ground troops, I order the ground assault units to launch a new charge, we must control the combat area before dawn, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"
When Yang Yi heard Zhang Xian's words, his heart was suddenly relieved, and he immediately issued an order to the air assault brigade to assist in the ground attack, and sent the bombing coordinates to Zhang Xian through the command system.
Thanks to the early end of the battle in the air, otherwise it is really hard to say who will die in the ground battle.
"Roger! I'll organize a spaceship to bomb right away! ”
Zhang Xian agreed without hesitation, hung up the connection and began to organize the implementation.
