On Planet Three, at night, there was a dead silence at the front of the position of the 9th Armored Division of the Riyan Imperial Army. The smoke of the daytime had cleared, and between the craters were charred wreckage and mutilated corpses. Before sunset, Ricktown's army launched five rounds of onslaught, barely advancing half a step except for the corpses left behind.

On the high ground occupied by the 9th Panzer Division, the lights were bright. The Imperial Army, which has absolute air supremacy, does not seem to be afraid that the Ricktown Army will counterattack in a big way. The only heavy artillery cluster possessed by the Ricktown Army attacking them had been swept away by the Imperial Space Fleet with powerful aerial firepower two hours earlier. And the Ricktown Army's near-ground aviation was suppressed by the Imperial Army from the very beginning, and it would not risk being completely annihilated at all to launch an air attack on the Imperial Army's armored divisions.

Of course, if the Ricktown Army could see what the Imperial soldiers were busy doing on the high ground, they would be absolutely shocked. In addition to the necessary defensive forces, the remaining Imperial soldiers actually temporarily played the role of miners. A bottomless hole with a diameter of twenty or thirty meters is slowly taking shape with the efforts of the officers and men of the 9th Armored Division.

"Push yourself up, brothers, and we'll be done in half an hour!" A bearded colonel looked at the bottomless hole at his feet with satisfaction, and smiled at the staff officers beside him: "Hold on, I'm still waiting to go back and drink my ten years of Louis XIII!" ”

"Sir, isn't the dynamics of the Ricktown Army a bit abnormal?" A staff officer looked back at the hillside under the night, and said worriedly: "It stands to reason that for them who are far inferior in equipment, the night is undoubtedly the most protective cover for them to attack us, even if every soldier and every tank mecha is equipped with advanced night vision equipment, our counterattack firepower will definitely be weakened to a certain extent!" ”

"I mean, Jack, you kid wish those Ricktown monkeys jumped in front of you with sticks and used as a live target for you?" The colonel glanced at the staff officer angrily and said disdainfully: "Can't you think that these monkeys have finally learned to be obedient after we gave them a vivid lesson in modern warfare?" ”

"This ...... Sir, your subordinates are stupid! But his subordinates still think that the excessive quietness of the Ricktown Army is a little abnormal! ”

"Alright! If you're worried, I don't mind letting you take a patrol around! The colonel shook his head helplessly, disdainful of his men's obvious over-the-top concerns.

"Da Da Da! Boom Boom! ”

However, as soon as the colonel's voice fell, a burst of rapid and fierce gunfire suddenly came from the outer position.

"What's going on? Do those monkeys really dare to sneak attack? The colonel and his subordinates were taken aback, and they all looked in amazement at the rising artillery fire on the forward positions in the distance.

"Sir, enemy attack, enemy attack!" In a simple multi-purpose field command radio station carried by the guards behind the colonel, a series of hurried shouts were heard. Immediately afterward, there was a crackling and fierce exchange of fire from the second position. Then there is the third, and then the fourth......

For a while, the call from the command radio rang out, and the colonel's beard and face suddenly darkened, and he strode over and picked up the communication headset and shouted: "Shut up Lao Tzu!" One by one, what the hell is going on? How did those dog-day monkeys get their hands on it? ”

"Hole in the ground! Hole! Sir, they dug holes in the ground and suddenly appeared on our position! I'm X, these guys are ground rats, God knows how they can dig so many holes in such a short time! Sir, they've stormed our ground! We're fighting them! Ah......h

An officer's hurried debriefing abruptly stopped, and everyone fell silent. The tragic howl of the officer before he died made the faces of the colonel and the staff officers beside him turn green. There is no doubt that they still underestimated the Ricktown Army. Although they did not have all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment, the Ricktown soldiers made the most of their advantages. God knows, since their earthwork jishu has been trained to the point of perfection, perhaps their commander knew a long time ago that they would use this ancient combat method to avoid the enemy's absolute superiority in firepower.

"Quick, request reinforcements from the command center!" After a moment of astonishment, the increasingly rapid gunfire of the outlying positions finally woke up the colonel. I saw him jump to his feet and yell at the staff officer beside him, turn his head and run out.

"Ah, sir, where are you going?" The staff officer suddenly shouted in a hurry.

"Lao Tzu led people to stop those burrowing monkeys, damn it, how can I hold on until the task is completed!" The colonel snatched the rifle from the guard's hand and ran without looking back towards the place where the gunfire was most intense.

"Why are you still stunned, waiting to die! Contact the Command Center now! The staff officer came back to his senses and yelled at the also stunned communications soldier beside him.

……

In the flagship command center of the Second Corps, Shangguan Shinichi and his generals were watching with great interest the real-time images transmitted from the ground battlefield.

In the video, the temporary positions constructed by the ground forces of the Imperial Army suddenly cracked open holes of different sizes, and the Ricktown soldiers who looked like mud monkeys quickly jumped out of the ground, brandishing all kinds of rudimentary weapons and equipment, and jumped into the crowd of Imperial soldiers.

In the face of such a close-range melee, the chariot mechs of the ground forces of the Imperial Army were completely dumbfounded, and they did not dare to let go of their firepower and attack the enemy army in a big way. Distant artillery clusters and aerial fire cover were also ineffective at this juncture. The Imperial officers and soldiers could only rely on the light weapons in their hands to desperately resist the onslaught of the Ricktown soldiers who kept coming out.

There is no doubt that the firepower superiority of the Imperial Army has been greatly diminished in this kind of jaw-dropping battle. And with the advantage of numbers and individual close-quarters combat skills, the Ricktown Army is consuming the Imperial Army soldiers one by one.

"Commander, are you considering sending the fleet's escort aircraft group for ultra-low-altitude fire support?" Looking at the video, the soldiers of the Imperial Army fell in a pool of blood one by one, and the chief of staff of the Corps' Ground Combat Unit, Pi Keyu, had a twitch on his face, and suggested to Shangguan Shinichi in a deep voice.

Almost at the same time, the various close-field combat units that landed on Planet 3 and were on secret missions were attacked by the Ricktown Army. With what they called sideways in the eyes of the Imperial generals, the Ricktown soldiers maximized their own advantages.

If the corresponding countermeasures are not taken decisively, it is really possible for the Ricktown Army to completely turn the tide of the war overnight over time. Of course, the premise is that they must achieve maximum results before dawn.

"Pass my order, all battleship squads on standby immediately dispatch to carry out fire coverage fire on each predetermined target area, and repel the offensive of the Ricktown Army in the shortest possible time!"

However, without commenting on Pi Keyu's suggestion, Shangguan Xin's eyes flashed with coldness, and he issued an order that surprised the other generals slightly.

"But, Commander, our troops are fighting with the enemy, and ......," Picochu said in a heartbeat, subconsciously speaking out against it.

"Just carry out the order!" Shangguan Xinyi said coldly: "Emperor Bixia will not give us so much time, if we can't complete the task of burying the spiritual energy bait before dawn, it will definitely make the Rick Dun Army notice." At that time, this Shiyan operation Jihua may be destroyed by the Ricktown Army and fall short! I don't want to be directly assigned by Emperor Bixia to fill the army! ”

After a pause, Shangguan Xinyi continued to sneer at the subordinates around him and said, "Don't worry, those officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the empire, Bixia will not forget them!" Let the reserves be ready to be dispatched! Immediately after the bombing of the fleet, take over the ground forces on the mission and continue to complete the mission! ”

After saying that, Shangguan Shinichi stretched his waist and walked straight out of the command center without looking back, leaving only a group of stunned staff officers looking at each other, and their hearts were cold.
