Chapter 242, Defense of Sky Wolf City (II)
The sky was getting darker, and the mountains had calmed down after a day of fighting. The cold wind is still cold, and when the cold wind meets the night, it brings extremely low temperatures.
The soldiers of Wind Wolf City had no choice but to climb the Sky Wolf Mountain Range in this cold night and completely occupy the mountainside positions they had fought during the day.
On a cold night, the soldiers of Wind Wolf City have a quick way to repair their fortifications. They put thick alloy plates and metal rods in the snow and poured water on them. The water quickly freezes into a thick layer of ice, forming walls of ice. Although this kind of ice wall is a bit primitive and looks unsturdy, it is a quick and practical way to build a line of defense. Anyway, they were going to attack the top of the mountain tomorrow morning, and then this temporary foothold would be abandoned.
In order to maintain air superiority, they sent a large number of unmanned attack planes and reconnaissance planes that could be suspended in the air, but they still had to keep a certain number of fighters in the air. Exhausted pilots after a long day of flying had to take turns to rest or switch to autopilot to take a lazy break.
The calm of the night is inversely proportional to the war of the day, as if they were all sleeping. The roaring "Wolf Claw" cannon fell asleep, the mechanical giant wolf that had been running for a day fell asleep, and the hilltop position of Sky Wolf City also seemed to be asleep.
However, it is only when you enter the hilltop position that you can discover how busy the interior is.
Because it is located on the top of the mountain, the avalanche did not bring much damage to this position, and it can be said that it completely preserved all its combat effectiveness. Around this, the space on the top of the mountain is limited, the terrain is also treacherous, and there are only more than six hundred soldiers of the garrison of Heavenly Wolf City who can be deployed here, and the leader is a major battalion commander, a fifth-order Skywalker. It's called Augusta.
Li De's mercenary mission was to hand over a large amount of supplies to the battalion commander, and Li De was accompanied by a transport team of 200 mercenaries and logistics soldiers.
More than 200 people, almost all of them were dressed in combat uniforms, and in order to climb through the cave, they did not carry large luggage, and the supplies were placed in the space storage equipment.
It was also the first time that Li De experienced the benefits of this space storage device. If it weren't for the space storage equipment, how could the supplies and ammunition that the mountains usually pile up in warehouses be able to be taken with just more than 200 people?
Thinking about the thousands of space storage devices that they just looted, they will be used on the battlefield of their Xinhua Kingdom against the federal army in the future, what kind of logistical advantages will they bring to the Xinhua army!
Li De and the others began to act as soon as night, walking mountain roads and caves. It took them nearly three hours to reach the summit position.
On the outside, it looks like a quiet hilltop position, but inside it is like a busy green factory. Dozens of construction robots are busy reinforcing every column, all the ceilings and walls have been reinforced many times, countless attack aircraft are being inspected and loaded with ammunition, and the preparations before the battle seem boring but every detail cannot be missed.
The devil will be in the details.
This delivery mission to the front line was considered to be dangerous, and many mercenaries and logistics soldiers were also much more relieved. The mercenaries and most of the logistics soldiers took advantage of the night to return to Sky Wolf City, but Li De decided to stay. After all, he had other intentions.
Of course, Li De's intentions cannot be explained to others. After handing over the equipment to the battalion commander of the major, Li De used the excuse of helping to strengthen the fortress on the top of the hill and stayed.
Of course. As an outsider, the garrison of Sky Wolf City welcomed Li De's help at this critical moment, and would not arrange for him to go to the real core area, so Li De was arranged to an area behind the hilltop fortress. Assist the soldiers there in sorting out spare light cannon barrels.
In this way, Li De wiped the light energy cannon barrels made of those transparent crystals. He was doing simple work while being distracted. Begin devouring the spirits of the werewolves and aliens collected during the day.
This kind of distraction is actually very dangerous, but Li De's soul energy is the origin soul power of the universe, and he has an absolute advantage over devouring those ownerless soul energies, which allows him to devour them continuously.
A night's devouring made Li De feel dizzy, and his soul energy seemed to increase slightly.
And the first light of this morning was not greeted by the warm morning breeze, but by the cannonballs of Wind Wolf City.
After a night's rest, Wind Wolf City's troops had recovered their strength. As soon as the day began, the attack was launched.
The first is, of course, a blow of air superiority. The lasers and missiles of the fighters were the first to blossom on the hilltop positions. Next up is the long-range artillery attack of Wind Wolf City.
Ten kilometers further back at the foot of the mountain, there was the newly arrived reinforcements from Wind Wolf City's attack, an army corps of 15,000 men, including two long-range artillery brigades. Thick self-propelled turrets were erected, and a half-wolf-man-sized ground-penetrating high-explosive warhead was placed into the cannons. With a loud roar, the cannonballs were fired at five times the speed of sound, targeting a small area on the top of the mountain.
Energy shields were erected layer after layer, and then layer after layer were pierced. Countless fireballs and balls of light lit up in the sky, making the sky much brighter before it was bright.
This is a contest between spear and shield, the most direct and savage impact. It's like an offense and a defense in the boxing ring, and the countless heavy punches of Wind Wolf City hit the opponent's body, and the side of Sky Wolf City seemed to be beaten to the point that he only had the ability to hold his head to defend.
However, passive defense is by no means the attitude of Sky Wolf City, they are also wolf ape people, and they also have the wildness and pride of wolves, how can they be slaughtered like this?
The newly built air defense position on the top of the mountain rose from the ground, and dense missiles were launched towards the drone and fighter formations in the air Wind Wolf City. With a bright orange tail flame and a gray trail, a net was laid in the sky.
The situation in the sky suddenly became lively. Wind Wolf City's drones are the first to bear the brunt of them, and although the dodge program in their programming program is good, it is still a little insufficient for those missiles that can be tracked.
As fireballs exploded in the sky, the drones rained down. The automatic laser cannon on the top of the mountain is also in the direction of the energy shield, and begins to attack the uninvited guests in the sky.
Under the double pressure of rockets and laser light cannons, the air force of Wind Wolf City gradually relented. But the pressure on the top of the hill is increasing from those long-range artillery.
"The energy shield output has been increased a little more!" The commander of the garrison, Augusta, shouted from the internal control room of the hilltop defense base.
"It's been the maximum output, sir!" An operating non-commissioned officer replied.
"Give me a little more, one hundred and twenty percent of the output! We can't afford to destroy these shells! ”
"But, sir, in that case, there is a high probability that there will be an energy overload, and we will be in danger of an internal explosion!"
"I can't care so much, let's withstand the shelling from the outside first!"
"But, sir!"
"Our home is right behind us! If this shelling can't be stopped, Wolf City will also be in danger that day. Are you going to let these shells fall on our city? August scolded.
"No, sir!" The non-commissioned officer shouted almost in a crying voice.
"Then give me TMD to increase the output of the energy shield and give Lao Tzu to withstand this round of bombardment!"
"Yes! Sir! ”
In this way, the energy shield of the hilltop base is still strong, even if it is a cannonball that specializes in dealing with the energy shield, it can only temporarily open a small opening of the energy shield, causing some damage to the base. Moreover, there were construction robots who immediately repaired the insignificant damage.
Seeing the base on the top of the hill in the telescope, the protective shield was as hard as a turtle shell, and the commander of Wind Wolf City, who was in charge of the attack, couldn't sit still, and he muttered in a low voice: "Those artillery will waste shells!" Such a half-day bombardment did not even have a single effect! ”
At the same time as the commander of Wind Wolf City was complaining in a low voice, suddenly a piercing alarm sounded from the position of Wind Wolf City. (To be continued......)
