Revised Edition Volume 5 Wandering Chapter 11 The Battle of the Trapped Beasts (I)
There were a lot of people running in a panic on the road, and it took me a lot of time to get to the command center. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As soon as I saw the image displayed on the screen, I immediately felt a sense of suffocation and despair. Traces of Feria's stealth landing ship have been found all over the surface of Leirondo. Because of the sheer number of them, it appears that the asteroid has been completely covered on the miniature Leilondo stereo diagram. How can there be so many? My ambition and confidence dissipated without a trace, and I fixed my mind and said, "Report the situation." ”
"The enemy discovered so far has about eight hundred small transport ships. Based on the experience of the last assault, a ship is about ten keels, which means that the enemy's current strength is ...... Eight thousand people......" The voice of the director of the command center also trembled.
The Battle of Alpha did not have a great impact on the number of troops in Leilondo. The casualties of the 1st Infantry Battalion, which entered the battle, were small and almost negligible. The heavy firepower company of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, led by Basque Bing, broke into the Alpha Governor's Palace, and in the end suffered most of the casualties, but only about 300 people. The biggest impact lies in the transfer of troops to Alpha, which began half a month ago, and according to the predetermined plan, 5,000 troops will be sent to Alpha, that is, the current entire battalion plus internal support and communications troops. Now that more than 2,000 people have been handed over, and the remaining unhanded over troops have been disrupted because of their establishment, it is difficult to imagine what responsibility they can bear in such a sudden incident.
I closed my eyes slightly and calculated the strength at hand, and asked, "Can the enemy attack the center directly?" ”
"It's unlikely in the short term. Even if they desperately destroyed the pressure-resistant shells above us, the garrison's 80 anti-aircraft artillery positions were well deployed, and they were further strengthened after the last assault on Caesar's Palace, which was enough to destroy the airborne troops on a larger scale than this time. As long as the garrison air defense positions are not broken through from the ground, it is impossible for them to directly airland in the central area. They would never have done that – and if they did, our crisis would have been easily resolved. ”
"You and I both understand this, so don't expect the enemy to not understand. Our enemy is not an ignorant barbarian, but a highly intelligent creature. I sneered and asked, "What is the director's opinion on the current situation and what should we do?" ”
"Isn't it...... Should the 1st and 2nd Field Infantry Battalions on the periphery be brought in? ”
"Oh, Director, you can come up with this idea too! The 1st Battalion is stationed at the pass of the 2nd Zone, which has a pressure-resistant shell, guarding the life support system and the supply of hydropower energy throughout Leilondo; The second battalion was stationed exactly to defend the base of long-range anti-aircraft guns. Doesn't your suggestion that these two battalions be withdrawn so that the Ferians can easily trap us, or that they can ignore our presence altogether and swagger through the Lelondo corridor to the moon gate, where they will fight the Overmars fleet? With their strength this time, they can probably directly fight a moon landing battle. ”
"Yes, yes!" The chubby director gave me a word that made my legs tremble, and I couldn't say anything else. I sighed and said, "At this time, there is no effective staff to assist me, what a helpless thing." Did Barrett pull the man over there again? It seems that I will have to wait and see what happens for a while. ”
Before the words fell, the Feria spaceships had gradually formed a formation, some of them were in the air around the central area, and after waiting for the breach to appear, most of them flew to the side close to the Yamullin area where the anti-aircraft artillery fire was out of reach and began to drop the soldiers they carried. At first, they seemed to be afraid of an ambush on the ground, and they began to lose more than 100 meters above the ground. Those three or four hundred pound dragon bone soldiers and four-clawed spiders didn't know if they would hurt if they fell, anyway, the floating soil there must have smashed countless big holes for them. After a while, they found that there was no resistance on the ground, and began to unload the army on a large scale. In less than an hour, more than 5,000 mixed forces of Feria had landed there.
"How nice it would be if the mechanized battalion was still there." An officer sighed: "With those 1,600 active anti-aircraft batteries, isn't it a piece of cake to clean up these guys?" They won't be given a chance to land at all. ”
That's right, that's it. But we can't have those things. If 1,000 infantry had been sacrificed instead of 1,600 MK-3 troops in the attack on Alpha, it would have been the public opinion and investigation team of the main planet that would have destroyed us first, not the expeditionary force of Feria. There are problems throughout the ages, so we have to suffer the incredible consequences of these incredible problems.
At this time, Hanhan and Yoko and other people from the intelligence bureau finally arrived. Han Han tried to calm down and reported to me: "The situation is not good, Barrett has also clashed with the presiding officer of the hearing on Titus's side. Titus claimed that Barrett had deliberately drawn the men to confuse him in order to avoid culpability, and refused to let Barrett sit at the hearing. Now Barrett was in command only in the courthouse, and he divided the garrison with 2,000 men to guard the passage to Amurim and the various residential areas and key points, and the other 6,000 troops were concentrated in the area around the courthouse south of the central district. He probably wanted to shrink there, to resist to the death. ”
Barrett's tactical thinking shouldn't be too much of a problem. The gap between our soldiers and Feria's combat power was too great, and even the absolute elite soldiers of the Heavy Firepower Company of the 2nd Infantry Battalion did not take advantage of the battle at the Alpha Governor's Palace. If, in an open area, even the heaviest crossfire could not hold back such a large number of hybrid forces of dragon skeleters and four-clawed spiders, it would be better to shrink into a mass and let every attack of the enemy on the streets of Relondo be counterattacked with maximum firepower. But—
"Did he ignore the lives of the natives and the officers in general?" I snorted and said, "Hanhan, then let's go against him, let's guard the north gate." It's a pity that there are too few people on hand, how many troops have you contacted to listen to our orders? ”
"Eight hundred."
I was speechless for a while, and almost had the idea of transferring the 1st and 2nd Battalions back in desperation. pressed the anger in his heart, and then said with a pleasant face: "You have done a good job, continue to find soldiers for me, you can go and mobilize those gangsters, those who have been discharged from the army and have not settled those who have been idle all day, see if they are willing to help us, and also save themselves - to show that Barrett will not save them." If you find it, open the arsenal and give them weapons, and if you can pull the trigger with a little teaching, you can send them to me, and I want them now. All of you, do your own thing! Yoko come with me. ”
I took Yoko out of the hectic command center and onto the rooftop. Through the translucent zenith pressure-resistant shell, you can see the countless Feria landing ships patrolling outside. The streets were filled with panicked crowds, and the whole of Leilondo showed a scene of slaughter and despair. I followed Yoko to the rooftop and closed the rooftop door with my hand. Yoko turned around alertly and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
I raised my eyebrows, made an obscene look, and said, "If I wanted to attack you now, would you be afraid?" ”
"You're not like that, are you?" Yoko had a look of embarrassment on her face: "It's all like this, if you just talk nonsense about me cutting you down in the morning, you're wasting your time meaninglessly." If it's true...... Then you're hopelessly perverted, what the hell do you want to do? ”
I slammed her against the wall and asked, "Why haven't there been any new reports in months?!" ”
Yoko struggled desperately, but couldn't break free from my strength. I blushed and asked, "You're busy all day long, busy learning Feria, busy listening to their communications, is it just that simple report?" You should have something more detailed. ”
"Huang Er, you let go, it hurts!" Yoko screamed miserably.
"I don't have much time right now, so please make the most of each other's time. I won't take care of your past, but please be honest in the future and serve your boss wholeheartedly. I pressed another hand on her neck in vain: "Now that the war is in chaos, no one cares about the loss of an insignificant translation and intelligence officer." I'll give you ten seconds, and if you don't tell me the truth, you'll have to break your neck. Anyway, no matter whether this battle is won or lost, I don't need half-hearted subordinates. ”
By the time I said this, I was already in a rage, and my whole body was full of murder. Whenever this happens, my eyes are red and ghost-like! Yoko pinched me and tried hard to grab my hand, but to no avail. She managed to hold on for a moment, finally realizing that resisting was useless, and nodded. I let go of my hand, and she immediately leaned on the railing and gasped for air, and it took half a minute for her to regain her normal breath, and she turned her head to look at me in disbelief and said, "You're so horrible." ”
"I'd rather people say that about me than people say I'm cute." I slowly put away my murderous aura and said, "I have said everything that needs to be said, you and I have a lot to do." ”
"I really didn't do my job." Yoko gritted her teeth as she spoke, looked up and said, "I've been receiving orders from Shinjing's side. They failed to compete for the Phantom World plan, and they had long made Samsung a strategic priority. In the early days, it was used as a need for political propaganda, and now it is more important to see the military aspect. It's a pity that we have the least voice, and this awareness still can't change the predicament of the Samsung system. ”
"Pick what is important." I chimed in.
"Samsung's selection is very strict, and my organization is trying to send more people to the upper echelons, but unfortunately the effect has not been good. All the information I obtained was relayed to them for review through the contacts on the side of the Overmars fleet, and only the one of the Feria studies was allowed to be sent out, and the rest was withheld. What they mean is that if Samsung's side suffers losses due to the unfavorable intelligence work, they can send more professionals in the name of support. After all, so far, only Heguo on the ground has carefully studied the Feria language and strategy, and it does have a certain advantage in intelligence research. ”
"I see, it's not all your fault." I said lightly: "It's just that you haven't thought that this kind of behavior will sacrifice yourself?" Don't look at me from that kind of perspective - at your age and me, most of the martyrdom is instilled by other people's doctrines, and there is no thinking and belief of your own at all. If you regret it until the moment you die, it's not worth it. I'll protect you and all of me alive. Then work for me with all your heart. ”
Yoko probably didn't expect me to let her go so easily, and replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”
I turned to go downstairs when suddenly Yoko stopped me and said hesitantly, "Maybe I shouldn't have said it to break your confidence." But this attack was the last of a comeback by Acandas, the border general with whom Feria had been in contact with us, after several defeats and a wave of domestic condemnation, and our chances of victory were slim. ”
I smiled and said, "We'll survive, see mine." ”
Han Han and I divided our troops, and when I arrived at the north gate with three hundred men, Feriria's forward troops had already attacked. The temporary fortifications built here by the B Company of the Leilundo Garrison were fired upon by the enemy's four-clawed spiders and gold-armored chariots, and they immediately collapsed, and the more than 100 remnants of B Company were defeated and retreated. Fortunately, the north gate was made of steel, and even if it was captured by Feria, they would still not be able to break the wall and rush in on a large scale. Moreover, the collapsed buildings on the side of the road also caused roadblocks, and the golden armored chariot and the four-clawed spider could not get up for a while. No sooner had I set up the defensive ring than bits and pieces of keels swept over the barricades, and were instantly wiped out under our dense fire.
"Sir, there's a problem!" After cleaning up the third wave of keel soldiers, the commander of the D company of the garrison battalion under my control stumbled over: "These guys seem to have stronger armor. Brothers who had encountered them in the past had said that at a distance of 100 meters, a dense strafing of a Type 40 machine gun could kill a dragon keel soldier in about two seconds. But I've noticed a couple of times they've been able to dodge or move forward after being strafed by this kind of lock-on, and one guy my Heavy took a good four seconds to shoot before he was killed! It's not a matter of a second or two! ”
I saw what he said, and that's what I was worried about. In the past, I was most worried about the lack of information collection on Feria, although I was deceived from Yoko that it was the Japanese GDI who was playing tricks from it, but now it's too late to scold the streets, so I have to come up with countermeasures immediately. These roadblocks, though not small, are not insurmountable. If they gathered fifty or sixty keel soldiers to rush over together, and a few four-clawed spiders pressed the formation behind me to knock on my machine gun position, it would definitely not be able to hold it.
