Chapter 2: The Defeat
Quite to Roger's surprise, in the more than two months after the spring, there was no noticeable movement in the two BETAs on the other side of the channel.
And then again, it is said that they are assembled on the coast of the Chinese mainland and the Korean Peninsula, but in fact, these two BETA assembly sites are outside the range of the guns of the United Nations forces and the East Asian coalition forces. In fact, there are really not many other means other than satellites that can effectively monitor it. THE ONLY THING THAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT THE SIZE OF THESE TWO BETAS HAS ALREADY REACHED THE CLAN LEVEL, AND MAYBE EVEN MORE.
Since the Gwangju War, humanity has effectively lost its ability to combat several HIVEs in East Asia. It is said that the Huaxia side has been carrying out a number of forced landing operations without giving up, but the results are usually more than worth the losses, and the gradual reduction operation was originally to exchange human casualties for more casualties in the BETA, but the actual situation on the Huaxia side is basically the opposite. The only good news was that I heard that Captain Cui had been promoted to Major Zo - according to the custom on the Huaxia side, he should be called Major - and when the two reincarnators received the news, they sighed very much about how hard this person was......
When the last page of the June calendar was torn off, Roger, and the entire Yamato military headquarters finally realized the problem, but it was obviously too late. That's what Chen Yi, who was late, mentioned at the first Bailing base response BETA assembly meeting-
"It's really windy today."
In fact, this year, it is not only the beginning of April that is very windy on Yamato Island, and since the beginning of summer, even the typhoon signals that can cause huge losses to Yamato in their hometown have been much more violent than in previous years.
According to meteorological experts, this is due to the fact that most of the territory of the Chinese mainland is occupied by BETA, and the terrain has changed seriously after the BETA is raging, resulting in the generation of a super giant typhoon.
These super typhoons rose one by one along the coast of the Chinese mainland and made landfall on the west coast of Yamato in turn.
During this period, neither the Chinese fleet nor the United Nations fleet were able to carry out normal coastal patrol tasks. Even the Hakureung base, which is located on the east coast of Yamato, is sometimes affected. Similarly, satellite photographs of both the coast of China and the coast of the Korean Peninsula are often blurry to the point where they are difficult to identify.
Until one day in early July, after being hit by a new wind signal, causing the satellite cloud image to be abnormal for three consecutive days, the new clear BETA assembly related location photos, the super legion-level BETA in the direction of Huaxia has all disappeared!
"The kamikaze that once blessed the entire island of Wajima, has now switched to the BETA side?" Roger, who drove to the West Coast without knowing the fire, sneered. Behind him, of course, was the entire Senotome squadron.
But the problem is that even Xiangyue Xihu doesn't know where the destination of A-01 is this time.
Yamato is an island country, but it is clearly not as simple as Taiwan Island in its administrative district. Therefore, even if the military department issued a national mobilization order as soon as it learned of the disappearance of Huaxia BETA, it would still be impossible to rely solely on the army to defend the long coastline in the west.
BETA IS DIFFERENT FROM HUMANS IN THAT THEY CAN GO ASHORE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A PORT IF THEY DODGE INTO THE WATER. Even if you can't walk up, you can dig a hole in the ground. The latter, Roger and Chen Yi, have a deep understanding. The reefs along the coast of Waguni are not necessarily stronger than the granite mountains of Cheorwon. Without the defense system of the fleet and submarine early warning, I am afraid that no matter where the BETA lands, it will cause a huge disaster.
Maybe it's really because Yamato has lost God's blessing, and Roger's worries soon become a reality-
When the main defense force of the Wakuni Kingdom had defaulted to the southwesternmost area of Kagoshima in Kyushu as the first landing site for BETA, and the army's defense forces were rapidly concentrating in that direction, news came that BETA had been discovered in an area that was clearly partial to the Korean Peninsula, such as Nagasaki and Tsushima.
The route chosen by Beta is quite delicate, and Tsushima is about 100 kilometers away from both Kyushu and Honshu islands. The defenders on the Kagoshima side had to run 200 kilometers to turn to meet the attack, but the reinforcements from the Honshu side did not dare to cross the Shimonoseki to reinforce them, because the BETA could have changed to the direction of Honshu......
Therefore, only such an ace unit as A-01 will receive instructions to go to the direction of Shimonoseki at the first time. The other army clusters that had been pre-assembled on the west coast could only slowly move closer to Tsushima. As a result, when the Beta Striker landed in Nagasaki as scheduled, even the Senotome squadron could only sigh across the sea and the air.
And that's not all, of course, and the BETA cluster on the Korean Peninsula isn't a showpiece.
Almost at the same time that the beta landed on Kyushu Island in the direction of the mainland of China, the Beta group on the Korean Peninsula also began to make landfall along the central coast of Honshu Island (in the original book, it is the Chinese region, and the Japanese "China" here is better to type a few more words to avoid confusion and so on).
So Roger and the others had just rushed to Shimonoseki, and they had to immediately turn back to the direction of Yamaguchi Totori.
Needless to say, this battle is a loss no matter how it is fought. The Legion-level Beta scattered and landed, and the tactical aircraft units with the best mobility in the country did not have time to put out fires everywhere, not to mention the heavy artillery and mechanized infantry units that were slower than snails......
Not even to say about full-line defense. Under the general-purpose double-sided attack of BETA, the troops originally stationed in Kyushu had no time to withdraw. In just one week, the entire island of Kyushu fell.
Subsequently, the west bank of Honshu also basically fell into the clutches of BETA, and the A-01 troops retreated again and again, although they basically completed the tasks assigned by the military headquarters every time, but they had no choice but to be able to compete with the corps-level BETA. And apart from them and a small number of elite Imperial troops, most of the garrisons that first came into contact with the BETA were simply vulnerable. Not even the giant bridge complex to Shikoku could not be blasted as planned.
Senotome Squadron blasted one place, and Lieutenant Sand Mist—who had already entered the Imperial Capital Guard by virtue of his military record, and had also been promoted—managed to destroy a bridge facility, but the Beta group still made a direct attack on Shikoku Island from the other bridge sections.
By this time, the entire Xihe Kingdom had fallen, and 36 million civilians had been killed or wounded.
The retreating Imperial Army had all been concentrated near Kyoto, and although theoretically they could escape in the direction of Tokyo or even Hokkaido, in fact, they had no way to retreat from the imperial capital.
At this time, the belated garrison and the United Nations army were finally integrated, and the three parties joined forces in the central part of Honshu, to be precise, to build a heavy defense line just before the imperial capital, and finally reluctantly withstood the BETA offensive.
At this time, A-01 was of course tasked with guarding Kyoto, and Roger and the others didn't even bother to say hello to the sand fog or the old comrades of the dispatch army, so they were forced to devote themselves to the continuous rotation of battles day and night.
"Hey, do you think we have a chance to take advantage of the chaos to bombard the Yasukuni Shrine?" Although Roger has never considered himself an angry youth, the evil fire he has held back during this week's battle is really nowhere to be released.
It was not Chen Yi who answered him, but DF who came to laugh at him, "How many times have I told you to listen carefully to the lectures, the Yasukuni Shrine is in Tokyo, not in Kyoto." ”
"Cut, who would understand this kind of thing!" Roger, who gave up stupidly, suddenly lost interest in continuing to talk nonsense with Chen Yi, jumped on his own shock, and began a boring midnight patrol mission.
By the way, since he is one of the few aces in the team, his duty period is very strange and uncertain, the only thing that is certain is that he must be in Chen Yi's class, because Chen Yi is also an ace.
By the way, it was true that the Senotome squadron was indeed twelve units of Shiranui, but in this week-long battle, even the body that had been secretly modulated by DG still couldn't hold up, so Roger and Chen Yi humbly gave up their relatively intact bodies out of the air—of course, for Hasase Mizutsuki and Haruka Suzumiya—and the two brothers switched back to the familiar Seven-Seven Shock......
By the way, by the way, the defense area of an ace unit like A-01 is, of course, in the direction closest to the BETA in the north-west, and the border with their defense area must be the defense area of Lieutenant Sand Mist and his imperial capital defense force. And it is also obvious that Sand Mist's duty time often coincides with Roger's......
"Hey, how attractive are you to those bugs right now?" Roger muttered as he handed over the shock to the DG autopilot. He certainly wasn't worried about a sneak attack by a beta in the middle of the night, but he always felt that DG might summon an unpredictable number of betas.
DG was clearly quite unhappy with his unwarranted speculation, "Simple, control tricks, that's all." ”
"But every time you talk like that, I always think there's going to be some kind of conspiracy." Probably has been cheated too many times, and no matter how rough people are, they instinctively produce antibodies, not to mention that Roger has never really believed in DG wholeheartedly.
The latter didn't need him to believe at all, "It's pointless to attract BETA." ”
That's right.,It seems that the 36 million people who died in Yamato are not enough to start the main quest.,So even if it attracts BETA to completely destroy the Kyoto in front of you.,I'm afraid there won't be any branch plots or anything like that.。
Roger thinks his analysis makes sense, so he reclines back a little more.
As a result, before he could enjoy this comfortable posture, he was directly overturned by the sharp radar alarm.
"What did you mess with? This is clearly not a BETA identification signal, nor is it an ally...... No, you don't have any friendly identification signals in your cursors! ”
"Retinal projection, not cursor."
"Is there an end?!"
“……”
It's a bit silly to talk to parasites in an emergency, but the radar alert is obviously coming from the direction of the imperial capital, so Roger is not too nervous. The other party must be a tactical aircraft piloted by humans, but I don't know where my old shock has been changed by DG, so that I can't tell whether the opposite side is the Mi Army, the United Nations Army, or the Imperial Army.
Despite this, Roger raised the assault gun in his hand according to the protocol, and immediately opened his mouth to warn the other party. said a lot of this, this is the defense area of the war otome squadron, and the people who come are known by name and so on.
The other party was clearly not hostile, and from Roger's point of view, out of the darkness were two obviously oddly modified shocks, one of which was even inexplicably painted purple.
Then DG immediately popped up in time to correct his ridiculous perception -
"The F-4J is correct, but it's not a shock modification, it's an 82-style Ruihe!"
"The color of the painting, symbolizing the status of the scholars, etc., slips in class!"
"Purple, there is only one!"
"Great General!"
