Chapter 66: The Great Defeat of the Maltese Ground Forces
The battle is still raging.
The 30,000-strong defensive positions of the Seventy-fourth Army, the Maltese ground armored forces attacked more fiercely than in any other direction.
In the face of the technical superiority of the Maltese who were completely crushed, although the number of armored brigades was as high as 30,000, it was still unable to parry the crazy attack of the Maltese.
It seems that the Maltese side had tested the defensive situation of the human position in advance, and had already found that the defense in this direction was relatively weak, so they concentrated a lot of firepower attacks in order to open a breakthrough from here.
Yang Yi's body was like electricity, turning into a wisp of blue shadow and quickly rushing towards the defensive position of the armored brigade of the 74th Group Army. Behind him are one hundred and fifty mutants who joined the Earth War Knife after the First World War at Base Ten.
Behind these mutants were nearly 8,000 special forces from the First Commando Battalion who had been injected with genetically enhanced biological agents, as well as a variety of ground-based heavy armored weapons equipped with Martese weapons.
This is one of the combat units of the First Brigade of the Earth Combat Knife with relatively strong combat effectiveness.
After the First World War at Base 13, a total of 260 mutants rejoined the First Brigade of the Earth Combat Knife, and the seeds were generally distributed in the assault battalions of the new unit. The 1st Assault Battalion has absorbed as many as 150 mutants, which is equivalent to more than half of the number of new troops rejoined.
Therefore, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, there is no reason why the first assault is inferior to the other combat units.
A minute later.
The reinforcements of the 1st Assault Battalion led by Yang Yi had already arrived over the defensive positions of the 74th Group Army.
As soon as Yang Yi's figure arrived above the position, the powerful gamma energy cannon in the blue alloy suit on his shoulder fired continuously, and the blue energy light pillar kept shooting towards the Maltese ground troops.
The mutants who arrived later also automatically used their strongest weapons to fire at the attacking Maltese.
At the same time as the energy cannon mounted on Yang Yi's shoulder fired, a thin layer of blue light suddenly appeared on his body, and he held a high-density gravity hammer with silver glittering in his hand, and swooped down towards the large number of mecha and semi-biochemical war beasts of the Maltes below.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
With the continuous loud noise, the high-density gravity hammer weighing five hundred tons in Yang Yi's hand smashed on the heads of several huge mecha of dozens of floors in the Maltese with the slightest wind sound, making a loud sound like thunder.
Due to the speed of Yang Yi's attack, and the fact that these mecha did not expect that mutants with strong combat effectiveness would suddenly appear in this direction. Unable to dodge, several huge mecha heads were smashed through by the high-density gravity hammer in Yang Yi's hand on the spot, losing their ability to fight.
The Maltese ground forces who were attacking saw Yang Yi and other mutants appear in the sky overhead, and suddenly concentrated their firepower and fired fiercely at this side.
A large number of energy weapons aimed at Yang Yi who was rushing forward, and countless bright lights flashed wildly, and the sound of explosions mixed with the sneer of energy weapons resounded in the sky.
However, it soon became clear to the Maltese ground forces that the humans rushing down from the sky did not seem to be very afraid of their energy weapons, and not many people died on the spot even if they were hit.
Especially the blue-suited human who rushed to the front, his defensive ability was even more surprisingly powerful, and all the energy weapons hit the light blue light mask on the surface of his body, and they were strangely absorbed by this light mask, and he didn't look injured at all.
Yang Yi's face was expressionless, his body still had no intention of staying, and the high-density metal gravity hammer in his hand smashed into the ground armored troops of other mutants with all his might, and the piercing sound of metal breaking and breaking came continuously.
Just three minutes.
The Maltese ground troops, who were about to break through a certain hill in the defensive position of the 74th Group Army, were brutally smashed down by Yang Yi.
The one hundred and fifty mutants who followed behind Yang Yi also showed their magic powers, striking at the Maltese ground forces, and soon plugged the holes in the defensive defenses of the positions that were about to be breached.
Five minutes later.
With the arrival of the follow-up large force of the First Assault Battalion of the Earth War Knife, the Maltese attack was forcefully contained, and under the leadership of Yang Yi and other 150 mutants, the counterattack began, forcing the Maltese to gradually retreat.
Yun Tianying, the commander of the armored brigade of the 74th Group Army, and most of the remaining soldiers saw that they could not resist the attack of the Maltese ground forces at all. Originally, he had already regarded death as home, and was ready to fight at all costs, even if he fought to the last person, he had to prepare for the defense of the Earth War Knife.
Suddenly, I saw Yang Yi leading the first assault battalion to rush to reinforcements, and quickly suppressed the attack of the enemy's ground forces. Morale was immediately boosted, and they launched a charge against the Maltese ground forces without fear.
Yang Yi still swung the high-density metal gravity hammer in his hand and smashed it wildly, and wherever the small hammer hit, there would definitely be Maltese mechas, war beasts, or tanks injured.
Gradually, Yang Yi was also a little surprised in his heart, the energy in his body had obviously changed, and it was obviously much stronger than before. For Yang Yi, who has never really fought with all his strength since the battle of Base 13, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes at this moment, he couldn't believe it at all.
It seems that the high-dimensional lifeform said that as the energy integrated into his body gradually recovers, he will become stronger, judging from Yang Yi's current battle, it is not a lie to kill the Maltese ground troops so easily.
However, Yang Yi was also a little depressed, was the growth and strengthening of the energy in his body that was not under his control really all good for him?
Yang Yi has no bottom in his heart.
An hour later.
The battle continues.
In the face of the frenzied attack of the 15,000-strong ground heavy troops of the Maltese, the whole situation began to favor the human side after the area defended by the 74th Army was reinforced by the 1st Assault Battalion.
After withstanding more than a dozen fierce attacks launched by the Maltese ground forces, the defensive position composed of 70,000 troops on the human side gradually stabilized after losing nearly 20,000 people.
In the charge of the Maltese ground heavy troops, most of the 15,000-strong troops had been lost, and the personnel and equipment with relatively strong combat effectiveness were almost completely lost, and they were no longer able to launch large-scale attacks.
and began to retreat gradually, and in the process of retreat, the troops quickly became chaotic, from retreat to fleeing.
It seems that the Maltese are also flesh and blood, and the so-called statement that they are not afraid of life and death is simply untenable.
"Comrades, it's time for the counteroffensive to begin!"
Seeing the corpses of the Maltese everywhere and the remains of heavy combat readiness, Yang Yi knew that the time had come for the Earth War Knife to launch a counterattack, and immediately issued an order to the assault battalion to counterattack.
In a flash.
Led by the commanders of the assault battalions, the Earth Warriors launched a counteroffensive against the remnants of the Maltese ground forces.
In the fierce artillery fire, the human side united in the air and ground, and the multi-party coordinated attack and advance in the direction of the Maltese retreat, chasing and destroying the remnants of the Maltese ground troops who were fleeing in a panic.
The Maltese ground forces were crushed for thousands of miles, and the remaining men and equipment suffered heavy losses in the pursuit of the Earth War Knife, and less than 5,000 people were scattered and fled in all directions, most of which were annihilated by the Earth War Knife pursuit force.
A day later.
The battle ended with a victory on the side of the humans.
In this battle, the Maltese lost nearly 50 pentagonal ships and more than 20,000 ground heavy elite troops.
Thirty of the latest spacecraft were shot down by human air power, and the Aerospace Forces lost 115 aircraft. In terms of ground forces, the Earth Combat Knife lost nearly 10,000 people, and the armored brigade of the 70th Army lost more than half of the 30,000 people, and the total casualties of the ground forces were close to 28,000.
After reporting to the commander of the theater, General Liu Hong, Yang Yi ordered the Earth War Knife to take advantage of the victory to pursue and quickly occupy several nearby larger cities.
