With Li Feng's final battle order issued, the huge fleet moored at Shanghai Naval Port finally began to move. As large combat ships and heavy transport ships loaded with expeditionary forces have left the harbor one after another, the largest amphibious landing operation in the world's history is about to begin!

It's just that Li Feng didn't know at this moment that Kane, who was far away in South America, also set his sights on here. Since all of the NOD's archives during the Second Tibertian War were destroyed, it was ironic that even Kane himself could not access the technical results of his years of research. And with the intensification of GDI counterattacks around the world and the complete destruction of the Cairo nuclear facility by particle cannons, the strategic strike capability has been completely lost. The huge loss of the world's fraternities has made Kane's classmate Yali Mountain great.

In order to carry out his ascension plan smoothly, he had to personally lead a huge expeditionary fleet full of weapons and equipment and a large number of combat personnel to eastern Australia to recapture the copy of the secret database of nod kept by the other party for research purposes from the heavily guarded GDI research laboratory. After all, without those important scientific and technological information, it would be difficult for NOD to get rid of its current disadvantaged position in the next war.

When the expeditionary fleet sent by Li Feng arrived in the desolate northwest of Australia after a secret voyage of about a week, the Kane fleet in South America also successfully landed on the east coast of Australia after a few days of drifting. Interestingly, the dates of arrival between the two sides are almost identical, but the treatment they receive is very different.

Soon after Kane's troops landed, the forward base was not fully built when it was attacked by more than 10,000 well-equipped Steelclaw garrisons stationed there. As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, the battle fell into a white-hot phase of life and death. In the face of these bloody GDI defenders, Kane's classmates at this time were also quite helpless. I was careful enough, but I didn't expect that the money-hungry GDI would be so desperate to deploy such a dense collection of miniature sensors and well-performing long-range radar facilities along the entire southern coast.

With such a huge project, is it possible that the evil capitalism has enough money to burn everywhere? Those greedy politicians, in order to save a few more children, can even deal with the security of the most important space station and ion cannon array in their defense system. How can we actually pass through layers of obstacles on this obviously unstrategic project. This is a little too unscientific! Soul light!

At this time, Kane felt that he really couldn't understand GDI's brain-dead values, could it be that their brain structure was all atavistic to their ancestors! {Note, the Philadelphia space station is GDI's most critical command and control system, and the particle cannon is the opponent's most powerful weapon system.} For cost reasons, the central control system of the two systems, A-SAT, was not built in space, but was placed on the ground in danger and eventually completely destroyed by a premeditated NOD. The offline of the control system directly led to the loss of the entire missile defense capability in space, and then the Philadelphia space station was attacked by a NOD nuclear bomb. }

The reason why the Steel Claw Force was able to spend so much money on civil engineering projects in Australia is directly related to another special force stationed here. ZOCOM Regional Operational Command, a military organization with the aim of eradicating the Tiberium Mine, independent of the direct forces of GDI and the Special Forces of Steelclaw. The leader of ZOCOM is a female general, General Elena. And the reason why she wanted to form this mining army has a lot to do with her early experience. General Elena, whose parents are both scientists, has a deep understanding of the dangers of Tiberium ore during her time in the Tiberian Wilderness of Central Africa, where she has witnessed the great suffering caused by Tiberium ore to the inhabitants of the region. And this is the main reason why he has been working to clear the world of Tiberium mines since he became a general.

Although the ZOCOM troops are about the same number as the Steelclaw troops, they are quite well funded, and their army is very mechanized, and almost all of its soldiers have extremely expensive heavy armor, which is the basic condition necessary for the troops to safely mine in the Red Zone. The method of removing Tiberium ore is very similar to what Li Feng did in China, using a large number of mining vehicles to collect and use the ore refineries he built in large quantities to process these Tiberium ores. The only difference between the two sides is that ZOCOM resells the processed ore to GDI's mining and energy companies to obtain a large amount of money to keep ZOCOM's forces running. Li Feng stored a large amount of it after it was processed, and used most of it for the upgrading and transformation of the Longteng. It's just that according to the historical trajectory of this plane, it is simply a fantasy to use this means to eradicate the harm of Tiberium ore to the earth's environment! Even the Chinese government established by Li Feng, who was hundreds of thousands of times more efficient than ZOCOM's troops, barely managed to sustain the rapid spread of Tiberium ore.

In the face of the Tiberium ore that continues to spread around the world, the female general has tried her best to achieve little practical results. The long and boring mining operations are gradually eroding the will and determination of the soldiers, and this has led to an increasing number of retirees, deserters, and demobilized people in the army. To add insult to injury, the recent surprise attack of the world's NOD has also caused these ZOCOM troops, which have basically been transformed into professional mining companies, to lose their basic combat capability. Huge reports of casualties in troops around the world forced General Elena to choose a certain degree of compromise with his rivals with the ultimate ideal of eliminating the world's Tiberium minerals, which are harmful to human life and health.

The Steelclaw troops, led by General Michelle, who are known as military radicals, have thus solved the problem of the funding gap, the biggest obstacle to their arms expansion. And the ZOCOM troops led by General Elena also got their wish and were protected by Steelclaw troops from all over the world. This virtuous cycle continues to this day.

As the battle process continued to ferment, the advantages of the Steelclaw troops in local combat gradually emerged. When these madmen threw the expensive Mammoth MK3 equipped with electromagnetic railguns into the battlefield as ordinary consumables, the front-line NOD troops who were fighting bloodily finally couldn't bear it. In the face of these unstoppable steel behemoths on the ground battlefield, the NOD's fragile armor and Spitfires, which specialize in sneak attacks, are no match for this heavy vehicle. And its 4.75-inch missile launcher can easily use those Venom fighters in the sky who dare to come to find bad luck as live targets.

When the relieved Steel Claw troops violently beat the NOD army on the landing field, Kane's bald head, who watched the whole tragedy in the command ship, finally couldn't bear it anymore. In order to take out these pesky roadblocks as soon as possible, complete your goal as soon as possible. The Holy Spirit Battle Mecha Battle Group, which was originally the ultimate force, also entered the battle in advance with Kane's approval, but the addition of these elite troops still could not change the unfavorable situation on the battlefield in a short period of time. But at this moment, the mechanical sound of Legion {Tactical AI}, who was responsible for building the NOD forward base, gave a new turn to the scorching battle.

Legion: "Honorable Prophet, the Ion Cannon Jamming Array and the Stealth Tower have been erected. Please indicate the next combat mission. "When these jamming devices that can shield GDI's space superiority are put into operation, Kane, who had still had scruples, can finally let go of his hands and feet.

Kane: "Legion, my child. You should let go of your hands and feet, use all military force, and deal with the opponent you face to me as soon as possible. We don't need to worry about the fleet being hit by GDI's space anymore. Those jamming arrays we have deployed along the coastline can completely disrupt their space strikes! ”

Legion: "Yes, Great Prophet. The fire attack mode is about to unfold, and all unmanned reconnaissance aircraft are launched at once. ”

"The battlefield scan has been completed, the shooting elements have been calculated, and the target of the attack has been confirmed. Disarm all arsenal ship chameleon camouflage systems, activate the shipboard electromagnetic railgun system and vertical cruise missile launch system, the countdown to the attack begins, 10, 9, 83, 2, 1 fire! ”

"All stun bombers immediately took off for a supplementary attack. All ground forces are in a state of decisive attack, and the battle must be resolved within thirty minutes. ”

As Legion's battle orders after one were carried out to the letter by the nod troops, the Steelclaw troops, who were still showing off their might on the battlefield just now, quickly fell into bad luck. Under the continuous fire of the ship's large-caliber electromagnetic railgun every three seconds and the accurate bombardment of hundreds of small cruise missiles, the unsuspecting steel claw troops who had taken the lead suffered a devastating and crazy blow from the sky!

The GDI soldiers, who had not yet recovered from the sudden blow, were then relentlessly hunted by dozens of looming stun bomber groups. How could the steel-clawed troops, which had been beaten in all directions, be able to resist the almost crazy large-scale counterattack of the NOD army that wanted to be ashamed and imposing like a rainbow?

At this time, Colonel Landes, who led the Steelclaw troops to take the initiative to attack the invaders, was quite depressed, and he wanted to deal with this group of poorly equipped and small-numbered NOD miscellaneous soldiers, so as to improve his prestige and military merits in the Steelclaw troops. After all, Australia's local Magian and his mafia forces have long been an important target for GDI division, co-optation, and surveillance, and it is impossible for a soldier to get ahead in such a peaceful environment.

But the battle that I thought would be hand-to-hand gradually became a little out of control as the situation developed, and when teams of NOD Holy Spirit mechs appeared on the battlefield screen transmitted back by the drone, Colonel Landers knew that he had kicked the iron plate. He wanted to get out as soon as possible, but he didn't expect the subsequent devastating firepower strike! When the high-spirited colonel intends to take the opportunity to take a big step forward, the reality is often so cruel.

When he spotted a dense cluster of disguising and moored Nod warships on the southern coastline from a reconnaissance satellite, the self-righteous colonel finally realized how stupid his decision was. It's just that by the time this guy woke up from a dream and asked for reinforcements from his headquarters in Sydney, everything was already irreparable. Not only did he not gain an inch of merit, but he also lost most of the mobile troops responsible for guarding the research laboratory, which is really a deal that outweighs the losses!

What's worse is that he thought that relying on the support of the ion cannon array in space could reverse this unfavorable situation, but the words of Major General Clark, the supreme commander of the Australian Steel Claw Force in Sydney, completely shattered his wishful thinking. Due to interference from unknown sources of interference, the ion cannon simply could not provide any favorable support to targets within hundreds of kilometers of the laboratory. If you want to solve it, then send troops to fight back! This kind of thinking is a huge loss at this time, like a lost dog running away in all directions, it is simply a fool's dream! What's worse is that due to various factors, it will take 5 hours for reinforcements from the direction of Sydney to arrive at the earliest.

In this one-sided battle situation, in the face of the NOD army with advanced equipment and several times the number of its own, even under the cover of almost suicide of all the air force fighters in the military base, only less than 3,000 Steel Claw troops managed to escape back to their military station near the laboratory.

In the kung fu of chasing and escaping, the battlefield of the two sides was converted to the vicinity of the GDI laboratory dozens of kilometers away. However, under Legion's precise command and remote control, less than one-tenth of the remaining people can return to the GDI military base alive. It's just that the matter is not completely over like this, as the most important research laboratory of the GDI Steel Claw Force in Australia, the large number of impermeable defense facilities around it is definitely a nightmare for any intruder!

Kane thought victory was in sight, but the subsequent plan to seize the target laboratory did not go as smoothly as he had imagined. Although most of the defenders defending this place have lost most of them to the stupid actions of the local commanders, the remaining steel claw troops of nearly 10,000 people are not fuel-efficient lamps! In the face of those Steelclaw soldiers equipped with Titan mechs, it was difficult for NOD's armored troops to rush forward. This anti-tank machine, armed with a 105-mm gun, was simply created to hunt down stuffed and thin-skinned NOD Scorpio tanks. Although the Holy Spirit Mecha is not afraid of these guys, the 380mm shells of several Behemoth Mobile Artillery deployed in the opponent's base make it impossible for them to get close to the outer defensive circle. Under the wave after wave of shells, the attacking NOD army suffered very heavy losses. The first wave of 15 shells alone resulted in the scrapping of at least one Holy Spirit mech, five Scorpion tanks, and several armed squads of nearly 100 casualties.

Despite the heavy losses of the troops, Kane still asked Legion to intensify the attack on the research laboratory, mixed with a large number of Scorpion tanks, Spitfire tanks, battle motorcycles, remote-controlled raider four-wheel drives, and a large combat force composed of tens of thousands of armed squads and RPG missiles, starting the most powerful ground offensive since the landing. And in order to deal with the extremely threatening Behemoth mobile artillery, dozens of stun fighters have secretly hung bombs and flew towards their targets before attacking.

Although the Air Force's mission was barely completed, the price paid was quite heavy. The Behemoth mobile artillery turned into a pile of scrap metal under the dense bombs, but the large number of depleted uranium armor-piercing shells fired into the air by the large number of twin 30mm caliber Gatling anti-aircraft cannons deployed around the base also caused these heavy bombers to pay great losses! At least half of the formations that participated in the bombing were shot down and wounded by them, while the other half had to thank the new anti-aircraft weapons, slingshot anti-aircraft vehicles, which had just been equipped with troops, for reimbursing them all.

In the face of the speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour and the non-stop frenzied fire of four high-speed rail machine guns, even if Legion, who saw that things were not good, took over the control of the formation and quickly let the bomber rise to an altitude of 10,000 meters, it still could not escape the crazy pursuit of this kind of light air defense vehicle with a range of more than 10,000 meters and moving at high speed!

After solving the threat of artillery fire, the ground had long been assembled, and the NOD troops finally solved their worries and began to launch the first wave of a full-scale offensive. It's a pity that Kane, who originally wanted to break through the outer defense line by relying on crowd tactics, was disappointed again. Thinking that the Titan mech was inferior to infantry, Legion had the missile crew and armed squad rush to the front. What caught him off guard was that the Steelclaw troops here had so many wolverine mechs that slaughtered infantry. In the face of this monster equipped with Vulcan cannons, the NOD infantry that rushed to the front suffered heavy losses, and in less than a minute, at least nearly a thousand people fell forever on the way to attack. By the time the follow-up armored forces arrived, tens of thousands of infantry had already suffered most of the casualties, and although they had successfully killed most of the defenders and all the defenses with the support of Venom fighters, the huge casualties still made Kane's brow frown.

After breaking through the outer defense line, the regrouping NOD once again launched the final blow to the core defense line of the GDI laboratory! And the remnants of the GDI who escaped from the outer defense line relied on the final defense system composed of a large number of guard towers, guardian defense guns, and anti-aircraft cannons to fight to the death!

While the main NOD force on the southern coast and the GDI Steelclaw defenders were fighting to the death for the ownership of the research laboratory, nearly a million troops in the northwestern region of China completed the landing work without hindrance, and it was not until the combat troops arrived near the Steelpaw military base near Darwin City that the sensors and radar facilities deployed by the other side discovered this large number of uninvited guests. With the five clone mechanized divisions of the Chinese Expeditionary Force completing the siege of the outskirts of Darwin, a decisive battle that will go down in history is about to break out in this small city with a population of less than a million!

Colonel Kotle, the Supreme Commander of Steel Claw stationed in Darwin City, was anxiously waiting for the real-time footage from dozens of reconnaissance drones released in the military base in the city at this time, but when the actual image appeared on the large screen of the command center. This young commander of the Steel Claw Force, who was known for his combat boldness and unfazed changes, was quite ugly at this moment.

"Damn, what the hell is going on! Why didn't the details of these strange weapons be found in Steelclaw's combat database. And it seems that no country in this world has used a four-legged snake as a mark for its army, right? The colonel was struggling with what these unknown enemies were and whether he should request help from the Sydney headquarters. A communication request from an unknown source interrupts Colonel Kotel, who is deep in thought.
