Chapter 124: High-profile attack
Li Feng: "I won't say more nonsense, this is an ultimatum." The land in the city where you are located has been taken over by the Xinhua government. As the first supreme leader of the government, I personally inform you of this little colonel of GDI steel claws. If you don't want to be violently enforced by the army assembled outside the city, then you can hang the white flag on the tallest building in the city for me within a minute. If you don't surrender, then obediently wash your neck and wait to be slaughtered! After this somewhat provocative and rather awkward conversation, the communication came to an abrupt end. And after listening to this information, there are not many seconds left in the minute.
It's just that this inexplicable ultimatum did not attract enough attention from our Colonel Cottle. The other party just regarded it as a boring genius hacker and made a low-level farce. But soon, with the arrival of the time specified in the notice, the cannon outside the city really started on time!
In the face of this unexpected situation, the colonel, who was a little panicked, quickly regained his calmness and courage as a battlefield commander after calming down the panic and shock in his heart. At the same time, he ordered his subordinates to report this important situation to Major General Clark at the headquarters in Sydney as soon as possible, and requested large-scale armed support at the highest level of security. On the other hand, after he issued a war alert to the whole city, he quickly threw himself into directing the entire city to conduct a full-scale defensive operation. It's a pity that the huge gap in strength is not something that can be completely made up by relying on a small number of advanced weapons and equipment, there are only more than 10,000 steel claw troops inside and outside the city, and even if everyone is the reincarnation of Rambo, I am afraid that it will not be able to change the final outcome of this war.
What Colonel Cottel never expected was that hundreds of thousands of invaders from all directions would suddenly stop the entire attack after they had captured several important military bases around the city. Not only did the other side not continue to carry out continuous artillery strikes on the city, but its engineering units actually began to build permanent fortifications one kilometer away from the outskirts of the city, and the entire city's seaside mouth was simply filled with hundreds of thousands of intelligent mines that suddenly appeared. Soon, a large number of combat ships of unknown type appeared not far from the sea to carry out blockade patrols, and the sky that should have been empty was soon completely filled with enemy fighters one after another.
Such an unreasonable offensive tactic made this honor student who graduated from West Point racked his brains and didn't figure out what it was for. It was not until the ion cannon strike he applied for was strongly hindered by an unknown interference source and could not shoot normally that the comrade colonel realized that there seemed to be a possibility that was very suitable for the current situation on the battlefield. It's a pity that when he was about to remind General Clark who was far away in Sydney, the entire GDI communication system had already been selectively controlled by Noah.
At this time, Major General Clark, who was far away in Sydney City, was looking at what was happening on the tactical screen in the combat command center with a frown. The near-frantic attack on the research lab by the unknown NOD faction and the total encirclement of the mysterious forces outside Darwin have left the newly appointed Steelclaw General very tormented. Although the combat troops supporting these two ends have been set off for a long time, I don't know why Major General Clark always feels a little unsettled in his heart at this moment. The general, who had an unusually sharp sixth sense, always felt as if something bad was going to happen, but he couldn't think of what kind of fatal flaw would happen in the support plan.
Soon the news reached his ears that one target after another had been interfered with by an unknown interference source, making it impossible for the ion cannon to shoot normally. The sense of anxiety that made him uneasy grew stronger. In order to clear these fatal obstacles as quickly as possible, Major General Clark decided to take the risk of using air power to solve the problem. But when he thought that with the powerful ground attack capability of the Air Force, he could completely destroy the source of disturbance in those areas, but the actual situation on the battlefield was far more complicated than he imagined.
When only a dozen of the nearly 100 fighters of all types sent to fight the NOD force made their way back, our General Clark already had a premonition that the battle on the other side of Darwin might not be much better. However, the actual results are far more serious than they estimated. Because until the 50,000 troops rushing to the direction of the research laboratory to support were about to arrive at the intended attack position, not a single air force fighter supporting the battle in Darwin City returned alive to the air base far away in Sydney.
The huge losses suffered by the Air Force combat units in this attack almost completely caused the GDI to lose air supremacy in the Australian region almost completely. Faced with this unexpected situation that should never have happened. A large number of support units, lacking adequate protection from escort fighters, had to abandon their bold surprise plan of forcibly landing near the area of operations. After all, in the face of the dense anti-aircraft fire network on the ground and the possible interception of enemy air force fighters, the V-35 Bull transport plane, which has no anti-air capability and extremely poor maneuverability, can be imagined. There was probably no chance that the large, bulky transport plane would survive except to be eaten as a meal by the hungry predators.
General Clark's prudent decision unexpectedly saved Kane's classmates from a bitter battle. If the opponent really forced the attack regardless of casualties, the NOD attack force, which was already in a dilemma at this time, would quickly collapse when it was attacked by GDI in front and back. When the Steel Claw troops, who had rushed here to support, received the order to land 70 kilometers ahead of schedule, the outcome of the battle in the Southern Research Laboratory became uncertain. While the other party was on the ground, Legion finally had enough time to clear all the remaining enemies around the research room, completely eliminating the deadly threat that might arise in the rear. And in just a few moments, it managed to build a relatively strong temporary line of defense.
However, it was this defensive position that seemed to be put together improvised that made it difficult for the steel claw reinforcements, who had an absolute advantage in combat ability, to take a step forward for a long time in the future! The fierce battle between the two sides continued until Legion had transmitted and copied all the valuable information and the laboratory building was reduced to rubble in a loud explosion. And the strong attack during this period also caused more than half of the 50,000 steel claw troops to suffer casualties, almost all heavy weapons were lost, and more seriously, more than 80 percent of the middle and lower commanders of the participating units were killed or wounded!
And the NOD, as the defending side, did not please much, plus more than 40,000 dead and wounded in the previous attack, nearly 70,000 combat troops were exhausted in this local conflict. Only a few thousand soldiers were able to return to South America alive. What is even more serious is that the ace unit in Kane's hands, the Holy Spirit Mecha Assault Group, was also destroyed in this operation. The losses in the Air Force were even more serious, with the Stun Fighter Wing almost completely wiped out, the six Venom Fighter Wings reduced by more than half, and more than one-third of the Universal Transport Wing lost its aircraft due to various reasons. It's just that the seemingly huge losses of both sides in the south are nothing compared to the Steelclaw troops in the northwest who support Darwin City, and it is difficult to compare with them.
Because the fate of the nearly 100,000 Steelclaw troops who slaughtered Darwin City will be the largest and fastest organized destruction in the history of GDI warfare. They would never have dreamed that from the moment the support mission was issued, they would have unknowingly become the guinea pig used by Li Feng to intimidate the GDI government. When this huge reinforcement had just landed in an area more than 100 kilometers east of Darwin, and the huge combat force was not fully deployed, it suffered a devastating blow like the end of the world!
What kind of force can wipe out a well-equipped and well-trained GDI steel claw force from the face of the earth in a matter of hours? As long as you look at the special facilities built by a Chinese expeditionary force in the northwestern wilderness of Australia, which has just established a secret military base, then this mysterious blow is not something incomprehensible. When countless weather controllers, nuclear bomb silos, iron curtain devices, vacuum implosion bombs, chrono converters, proton impact cannons, nano-swarm beehives, superwave destruction device cores, and other destructive weapons are all gathered together, I think that even the most powerful army can survive a deadly attack of this magnitude when unsuspected, I am afraid that the odds of surviving the five million jackpot are even more difficult than buying a lottery ticket.
After reading the latest battlefield intelligence information provided by Noah, Li Feng said: "It's really strange, why did that guy Kane come to Australia to rob the information in the secret database now?" Obviously, he should have done this a long time ago! Why the timeline of the story has shifted so much is really strange enough. Could it be that Shi Shi changed the original development trajectory of the world because of his own intervention? Just as Li Feng was still struggling with why the story did not follow the order of the scripts he knew, Noah's reminder pulled Li Feng back to reality again.
Noah: "My dear, my most respected leader. Are we launching the Red Lotus Hell Deterrence Program? The GDI Steel Claw troops who have arrived to reinforce are about to leave the safe attack range! ”
Li Feng: "Then let's start the action!" Oh yes, and don't forget to pack that special promotional material with the battlefield footage of the raid and send it to us with the straw bales of GDI Speaker Raymond Boyle and the self-proclaimed prophet alien, Kane Baldhead. I think the look on their faces when they see those funny images will be quite exciting! ”
Noah: "Understood, then the battle plan is in full swing!" All participating units enter the first level of combat readiness, and the superweapon attack group immediately enters the scheduled launch procedure, and after thirty seconds, the Doomsday Judgment attack will be carried out in the predetermined launch order. ”
At 14:30:15 p.m., several nano-insect swarms blocked more than seventy percent of the Steel Claw troops in it for a full thirty seconds, and no matter what attack the opponent used, they were unable to break through this layer and its sturdy shield. Noah then used the huge damage caused by the proton impact cannon's energy being transmitted through the nanoworms during the attack, and directly boiled the GDI troops that were not in the blockade circle.
At 14:30:47, more than a dozen vacuum implosion bombs mixed with several super destruction devices almost simultaneously hit the MCV and its surrounding defense elite armored units, not only completely destroying the command system of the entire support force, but also the middle and upper-level officers were almost wiped out in this attack, and no one survived.
At 14:31:05, the originally cloudless desert area was covered by dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and a large-scale storm suddenly swept in. It's just that this rainfall, which was supposed to give birth to life, has become a scythe of death for large-scale harvesting of life. Accompanied by countless lightning storms falling from the sky, a large number of unlucky Steelclaw soldiers and their vehicles became battlefield ghosts who were killed by lightning. Even the Mammoth MK3 tanks, which were extremely well protected, could not withstand the power of heaven's punishment, and they all turned into piles of scrap copper and rotten iron under the continuous impact of huge electric currents. As for the bulldogs that can move at high speeds and specially modified MRTs {instead of APCs, and maintenance drones instead of heavy machine guns}, they were even more upturned by these lightning blasters who seemed to have eyes, flying around, and finally waiting for the sky to clear up, and there was not even a large wreckage left on the ground.
At 14:32:15, after a 50,000-ton yield tactical nuclear bomb destroyed the last group of steel claw troops gathered in formation, the last moment of the remnants of the enemy on the Qingli battlefield finally began. As a batch of 50 armored mixed formations of various types of combat vehicles were quickly teleported to all corners of the battlefield by the Chrono Conversion Device, there were very few people left alive in this extremely powerful and brave GDI elite. When the few remaining steel claws in various places were carrying out their final dying struggles with the advanced weapons in their hands, the black light curtains that could not be broken over the attack targets completely shattered their tenacious will to resist! Most of them are just mechanically pulling the trigger at the end of their lives and waiting for their imminent death! A sense of hopelessness quickly creeping over the survivors. It's a pity that except for a very few soldiers who are still sober-minded, people can recognize the situation and surrender immediately. The entire 100,000-strong GDI army was almost completely wiped out in this military attack of less than 10 minutes.
On the contrary, most of the members of the hammerhead shark helicopter flying in the fifth space escaped this terrible catastrophe unscathed. However, as soon as these helicopter groups loaded with a large number of wounded soldiers landed at the Sydney Air Force Airport, nearly 10,000 stealth ultra-long-range air defense missiles that followed closely behind their butts finally showed their sharp fangs at the moment when they were about to run out of fuel. The successive explosions not only completely reimbursed all the members of these planes, but also killed the expensive military airfield and nearly 1,000 ground crews! These escaped helicopters are simply the best example of their teammates, and after Li Feng learned about this from Noah, he even thought a little ridiculously in his heart about whether he should give these leading parties a medal or something, in recognition of their heroic deeds!
The devastating blow to the reinforcements finally made His Excellency the Major General feel that the situation was out of control, and he could no longer hide the direction of the war that Australia had fallen into decay. After all, there was such a big commotion, how could those GDI reconnaissance satellites in space that were not decorations not discover the anomalies here! However, if Li Feng hadn't let Noah secretly delay the bad, General Clark's little trick would have been exposed by GDI's professionals.
At this time, His Excellency Raymond Boyle, the speaker of the GDI who was in wartime command at the former North American Underground Air Defense Command, was anxiously looking at two important pieces of information with the generals, one of which was naturally General Clark's real-time emergency military intelligence report, and the other was a mysterious propaganda material sent by Li Feng. Originally, this arrogant leader didn't take Li Feng's somewhat fantastical film seriously at first. On the contrary, General Granger, who is known for his calm and thoughtful skills, is convinced of this obviously nonsense.
When most of the people at the military meeting were privately discussing whether General Granger's brain had been kicked by a donkey or caught in the door, how such an unreliable thing could be believed. However, General Clarke's subsequent important information confirmed the prescience of General Granger's idea. When EVA mobilized all the reconnaissance satellites in space to fully confirm the actual situation in China mentioned in the data, the bustling scene on the big screen made everyone present completely stunned!
After watching the video and pondering for a moment, Raymond Boyle said loudly: "We will never admit the reality of the establishment of a bloodthirsty and dictatorial Chinese state, they are nothing more than a cult like NOD." All non-democratic forms of government are heretical, and we must avenge the blood of the 100,000 compatriots who died in the attacks. As for the few poor NODs on the Australian continent and the yellow-skinned miscellaneous that surrounded Darwin City, it was left to the First Fleet of Pearl Harbor in the Pacific and the Sixth Fleet of the Philippines to settle it. Now our priority is to completely wipe out the entire Xinhua regime from the face of the earth as soon as possible with the brilliance of the ion cannon. Remember, the Yellow Peril brought about by the cruel Mongol horsemen in Europe hundreds of years ago is a bloody lesson! We must uproot the opponent while they are still in their infancy. Now the favorites who are in favor of using the ion cannon array to carry out an all-out attack on the entire country of China are raising their hands. For the sake of the future of future generations, even if we will have the blood of innocents in our hands, even if we will go to hell because of it! Such a sharp and shocking speech was quickly warmly applauded and fully supported by most of the generals present. Among them, Lieutenant General Michel, the founder of the Steel Claw Force and the boss of the GDI hawks, raised his hands in favor of this obviously too radical proposal.
In the current state of war, decisions taken by the military can be implemented immediately without parliamentary approval. It's just that this somewhat overkill means of revenge is obviously a little too dehumanizing. You can't just because one person kills your whole family, just because you kill the nine clans and kill all the people with the same surname in the world! However, no matter how much Admiral Granger, who is the supreme commander of the GDI military, and how much the peace-loving General Elena opposes, it seems that it will be difficult to change the arrival of the largest genocide on the planet in history. This attack is not just as simple as killing hundreds of thousands of people, but also to solve all the existing more than 700 million people in China with ion cannons at once!
