Chapter 6: Broadside Battles

The huge passage was full of smoke and dust. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Shen Tianhao finally pushed aside the debris on his body and stood up. The enemy came earlier than expected, and in terms of speed, it was definitely the elite of the empire.

As soon as Zhang Zhen reminded him to prepare for a broadside battle, the enemy came up during the deployment of the marines.

He was all too familiar with the vibration. The large troop carrier crashed directly into the belly of the capital ship, and the first round of impact caught the officers and men inside the ship by surprise. This was followed by sappers blasting the armored casing. The second explosion had a small but deep impact, and the next enemy Marines would appear inside the ship.

"Bang!"

Sure enough, unlike the previous powerful impact, this round of explosions was dull and had little impact on the giant ship as a whole.

"Are there any gasps? The enemy came in, ready to engage in broadside combat. ”

There were few people who responded, and then more people stood up, Shen Tianhao frowned at the quality of the troops, this is a group of armed people, how to fight a tough battle.

Complaining is complaining, and the necessary measures must be done, otherwise the Wanderer will really be captured. Shen Tianhao, as the Marine Corps commander of the Wanderer, is a middle-aged soldier with a well-proportioned physique. He came from the special forces and was good at land command, especially in special operations.

After receiving Zhang Zhen's order, he began to prepare for a possible battle battle. Shen divided all 2,000 marines into 6 parts, a group of 200 people, a total of 5 groups, and guarded the bridge, engine room, gnaku, ammunition depot, and equipment room. The other 1,000 men, plus all the heavy equipment, were divided into two groups and arranged in the front and rear parts of the Wanderer, ready to reinforce the areas that might be attacked.

Just when the arrangement of the receiving troops in the middle was stopped, and the 5th garrison team rushed to the station, a violent vibration appeared with a intensity far exceeding expectations.

Without confirming the situation of the 200-man squad in front, he mobilized 500 reinforcements to march towards the belly of the ship, while the other 500 troops sat in the access node and used it as a reserve.

"Sir, your forehead."

Marine Corps Staff Officer Jack handed over a towel, and he realized that he had broken his head when he fell.

With a flick on their heads, the two jumped onto the passing all-terrain vehicle and rushed to the belly of the Wanderer.

。。。。。。

The Wraith troop carrier is one-third the size of a destroyer. Crash headlong into the belly of the mothership. 300 elite Imperial Marines, along with their commander Yamakawa Shosa, rushed into the Wanderer.

The mountains and rivers are rich in combat experience, and they are bold and practiced. He commanded the troop carriers, saw the gaps in the enemy's defenses, rushed out of the ocean, withstood the fire of the defensive artillery group, and successfully broke through the defense. Unfortunately, the Wanderer's firepower exceeded expectations, and only one of the two demons reached its destination.

Through the porthole, Shaozo saw the loyal and brave Imperial soldiers, falling like rain. The helpless human body, torn apart in flames and debris, spewed out internal organs and blood.

As a determined warrior, fearless, naturally not afraid of death. He just regretted the combat strength of those 400 men, without them, the battle to capture the capital ship would have become more difficult.

When Shao Zuo stepped on the enemy ship, his subordinates had already cleared the nearby enemy troops. In front of the heavily armed Marine Corps soldiers, non-professional officers and men of the Marine Corps fell down like weeds. Fully automatic weapons and large-caliber machine guns mercilessly harvested the panicked people.

Shao Zuo was very satisfied with this start. In front of the Imperial Marines, the enemy should be destroyed like this. The iron blood of the soldiers, the honor of the empire made his emotions high. The same was true of the soldiers, and even his adjutant could not resist drawing his guns and joining in the sweep of the remnants of the enemy.

An early victory does not mean that the enemy is really no threat. He ordered his subordinates to end the sweep as soon as possible, helped unload heavy equipment, and urged the high-spirited warriors to complete the formation.

Almost at the beginning of the formation, the ship's soldiers, under the cover of all-terrain tanks and hoplites, attacked them.

The enemy's reaction was beyond Shaozo's expectations, and he did not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy. The two attack formations that were waiting for each other collided head-on.

The belly of the ship is like returning to the ancient battlefield of the earth, with the rumbling of cannons and the dense line of fire. The light infantry formed a skirmish line and marched obscenely behind bunkers and on the floor. The battle began with a large number of casualties. The all-terrain vehicle was hit in the side by an armor-piercing projectile, and the direct damage was only partially cracked and fist-sized holes, and the explosion came from the other side, and the shell, including the armor plates, was lifted from the inside. The soldiers inside had shattered, turning into paste and sticking to the metal walls.

The heavy infantry resembles medieval warriors in helmets and armor, carrying large-caliber machine guns and jumping at high speed on the battlefield with jetpacks. The railguns were in a line, and the heavy armor tore apart after only a moment of resistance. The body of the heavy infantry was broken into two pieces along with the flesh inside. Mixed with smoke, parts, and flesh, the upper and lower sections fell like garbage on the wreckage of the vehicle.

Two squads of light infantry, led by the squad leader, crawled forward. Their target was the rapid railgun at the three forks. This highly rated, terrifying armor-piercing automatic weapon has wiped out many valuable units, including chariots and heavy infantry. Anti-tank missiles launched at long distances were easily destroyed. The various models of anti-armor railguns disintegrated under the firepower of the rainstorm before they could be arranged. The Imperial forces could not afford to suffer greater losses, and Yamakawa ordered the task to be accomplished by light infantry.

The soldiers either crawled, or with the help of bunkers, or even wreckage, and approached the machine guns little by little with the patience of the grinders. As long as the distance is close enough, a multi-angle strike will overwhelm the automatic turret.

The line of fire flickered, and the two soldiers who did not reach the next bunker in time turned into shards and exploded into a mist of blood. The soldiers on the mission continued on their way, as if they did not see their comrades killed.

Shaozo observed the progress of the battle in a temporary command post. This automatic turret was the last obstacle to the Wanderer's charge, and when it was swept away, there would be a smooth road ahead.

"Follow-up troop carriers, have any of them successfully broken through?" , although he knew that there was little hope, he couldn't help but ask the communication non-commissioned officer. At this time, if reinforcements can be sent from other directions to assist in the attack, victory is within reach.

"It's a pity that so far, 4 troop carriers have tried to break through, two have been silent, and two have been heavily damaged."

He nodded, not frustrated.

In front of the automatic battery, only one squad of soldiers remained. There are three points that come into attackable range. Three columns of white smoke first rose vertically, then turned out of a sharp bend and flew towards the top of the automatic turret.

The scarlet line of fire flashed, and a missile exploded into a fireball. The remaining two missiles made evasive maneuvers, and the white plumes of smoke turned into snake-like shapes, interspersed and intertwined. Another fireball lit up, and only the last one remained.

The missile warhead opened, and four smaller, stinger-style warheads were fired out. The railgun only had time to destroy two of them. Its round top caved in, and the turret fell silent when two small holes appeared. With explosions and scattered debris, the Imperial positions, groups of soldiers jumped up, and a cry of charge was heard from the communication circuit.

Shan Chuan clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it fiercely, and victory was expected.

Dense lines of fire poured into the battlefield from behind the abandoned forts. The Imperial soldiers were shot and fell, or they fell down on their own initiative.

Reinforcements from the enemy arrived.

。。。。。。

"Can't be returned! On the Warlords, anyone who moves backwards will be shot on the spot. ”

Shen Tianhao's face was solemn and he gave the order for all the people to assault. The so-called mercy is not in charge of the soldiers, and it is manifested in the most cruel way at this moment. On the front line of the battle, the imitating soldiers had only two choices, either to be killed by the enemy forward, or to fall under the fire of the rear overseers. In desperation, the light infantry rushed forward desperately, cutting wheat as if lying down one by one.

The combat power of the Imperial soldiers far exceeded Shen's estimates. Under these circumstances, even if you fight with the veterans of the original Wanderer, you will not be able to bargain at all. 600 people against 400 people, heavy equipment and geographical advantages, it was difficult to solve.

Shen did not dare to let the troops withdraw for correction, he was afraid that the temporary retreat would turn into a full-scale retreat. He didn't dare to mobilize the reserves, God knows if the Imperials would invade from other directions. He could only fight the enemy with the strength at hand.

Now it has become a war of attrition, and he simply relies on his numerical superiority to fill in the evenly matched with human lives. The Imperial Marines are too elite.

On the multi-functional console in front of him, the number of soldiers on the battlefield is displayed, and the green villains are replaced by red, which is fast and scary. If this trend continues, more than 600 people will be dead in no less than five minutes.

"Sir, I think it's almost time to use the commando!"

Combat staff officer Jack's face was pale, and anyone who saw so many comrades sacrificed would not feel good.

"Good! Over to you, don't let the brothers die in vain. He nodded heavily. Jack got the order and turned and sped away.

A special squad of chariots and heavy infantry jumped out from behind the light infantry in a desperate situation. They launched a swift attack on the most threatening artillery batteries and chariots on the Imperial positions, destroying the heavy armament that had no time to react in one fell swoop.

The enemy cut was completed in a matter of minutes. The assault force then turned around and cut through the rear of the enemy's flank, splitting the Imperial position in two in a short time.

Shen received the news that the heavy infantry group had successfully destroyed the Imperial command vehicle. Within a few minutes, the Imperial army was in disarray, and the stalwart enemy finally showed its fatigue. Shen Tianhao led the guard troops and also joined the assault sequence.

Thirty minutes later, the Ghost-class troop carrier, which had been inserted into the belly of the Wanderer in a strange manner, retreated. It attempted to use its main engine to escape from the range of fire from the artillery group. The orange-red line of fire, dense and impossible to dodge, let the demon-class armor be strong, and it also disintegrated and shattered under the heavy rain of attacks.
