725 Hand-to-hand
The biggest disadvantage of the interstellar cannon is that it must be built underground, although the range and power are far superior to those of the battleship, but the angle of fire is fixed in one direction, even if it can be adjusted to a certain extent through technical means, the angle of change is very limited. Therefore, a single interstellar cannon has little real combat value, and can only be put into combat if it is increased in number and aimed in all directions.
The Atlanteans, who were well aware of the shortcomings of the interstellar artillery, changed their attack method and approached the lunar base with their warships accompanying the Marine Corps, and the triangular battleships flying close to the lunar surface successfully avoided the firing angle of the interstellar cannons, giving the Marine Corps strong fire support.
The defensive firepower on the periphery of the lunar base was cleared by the warships one by one, and the morale of the Atlantis Marine Corps was high and they were soaring.
Unexpectedly, those exposed fire points were only part of the perimeter defense system, and when the Marine Corps stepped into the defensive circle, dozens of automatic turrets suddenly rose, and the rapid-fire gravity guns with a caliber of 50 mm suddenly shot a rain of dead bullets, and the dense shells immediately knocked down a large number of Atlantean fighters.
These sudden turrets appear in groups of three, if you look down from the sky, you will find that each group of turrets is connected together in a straight line is a regular triangle, the three turrets are exactly located in the three necklaces, and the direction of fire is the three bottom sides of the triangle, all the enemies who enter the triangle are all stunned by the sudden fierce blow, and before they realize the source of the fire, they are beaten and turned on their backs.
The inverted triangle ambush formation originated from the Vietnam War in the 20th century, and is said to have been invented and taught to Vietnamese guerrillas by Chinese soldiers who assisted the Vietnamese side.
This tactic was still very effective centuries later on the lunar surface. Although the soldiers of the Atlantean Marine Corps were wearing fully enclosed armor with a miniature force field device, the rapid-fire gravity gun was a new weapon that replaced the electromagnetic cannon, and the density of the shells was very high.
It's not impossible to stand up forcibly, but the armored one is not a battleship after all, the energy it carries is very limited, and the force field is a very energy-consuming thing. No one wants to lose the protection of the force field.
The Atlanteans were also flesh and blood. If you are exposed to enemy fire, you will lose your life!
But the Atlanteans who fell to the ground could not escape the furious fire from the humans - the Atlanteans, who were four and a half meters tall on average, wore armor and were nearly a meter tall even when lying on the ground, and the ambush site was precisely a plain of impact after the impact of an asteroid. The height of the half-buried turret is only 60 centimeters above the ground. The fallen Atlanteans were located exactly at the level of fire.
Dozens of Atlanteans' armored force fields were depleted in a very short period of time. Immediately after that, their armor was pierced by a large number of armor-piercing shells, and fifty-millimeter shells were chiseled into the bodies of the Atlanteans, which was equivalent to a human being hit by twenty millimeters of ammunition. The consequences are extremely deadly.
Although the armor-piercing projectiles used in the gravity gun cannot explode, the sufficient caliber and extremely high speed still produce great lethality.
The limbs of the Atlanteans were all severed on the spot, and at most only a little flesh and skin remained; The head that was shot in the head burst on the spot like a watermelon, and he died no more; The bullet in the torso was directly a hole in the basin, and all the internal organs were stirred into a mess.
What's even more terrifying is that the armor strength of the Atlanteans is very good, and after the armor-piercing projectile is shot through the first time, there is not enough energy to shoot through it again anyway, so the armor-piercing projectile that penetrates the Atlantean body will bounce back once it hits the armor after causing great damage, causing a more severe secondary damage.
The immobile Marine Corps immediately requested air support from the covering ships, and the ships immediately began to clear the turrets in the ambush area.
From the time the Marine Corps entered the ambush zone to the time the battleships accompanying the infantry began to clear the turrets, it was only a matter of more than ten seconds that happened in a matter of seconds, but it was these ten seconds that caused the lives of more than a hundred Marine Corps soldiers...... Half of the more than 100 people were wounded in their limbs, and they basically had one breath left, but the shells that broke the limbs also pierced the major arteries, and if the bleeding could not be stopped in time, the wounded would have lost their lives in a very short time.
The battleship, which was clearing the turret, had no time to come to the rescue.
When the turret in the ambush zone is hit by the Triangle Battleship's disintegrating beam, the turret will immediately be pierced by the beam, and the damaged gravity cannon will stop roaring, and the trapped marines can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The difference between the appearance of the Marine Corps really surprised Wang Wei, is this an army from aliens? I am afraid that the terrorists on the planet are more professional than they are in the offensive and defensive wars.
How did Wang Weiwei know that there was a reason why the Marine Corps was slow to react.
It is true that the Atlanteans and the Saucers have fought for thousands of years, but the two interstellar wars have always been based on air battles, and land warfare is rarely used as an auxiliary means in the wars of the two races, and the most important task of the land forces on both sides is to grab the enemy's warships, rather than parachuting on the surface of the other planet and waiting to be attacked by the enemy's warships!
If the position of the Marine Corps at this time was a certain warship of the human race, their appearance would definitely not be so frustrated.
Seeing that the ambush fire had stopped, the surviving Marine Corps officers immediately jumped up and loudly urged the fighters to get up immediately and move on.
At this moment, several circular holes suddenly cracked in the ambush area not far away, and one after another heavy anti-aircraft missiles flew out of the holes as if they were not paying for money, and rushed towards the triangular warship that was penetrating the defense at a low altitude.
The triangular battleship immediately activated the battleship force field, but the height of the battleship was too low, so low that as soon as the force field was opened, it overwhelmed all the soldiers of the Marine Corps on the ground.
Fortunately, in order to avoid the sudden rise of the missile, the triangular battleship avoided a sad drama in which "the battleship accidentally injured its own personnel and the entire Marine Corps participating in the battle was annihilated."
However, unexpectedly, the missiles that took off into the sky were not aimed at the four triangular battleships accompanying the infantry, but at the Marine Corps on the surface!
After a few missiles forced the triangular battleship away, it suddenly made a sharp turn of more than 90 degrees like a broken branch, and before the Atlanteans on the ground could figure out what was going on, the violent nuclear explosion engulfed all the personnel of the Marine Corps.
