Chapter 19: Ground Advance
Seeing that her warnings were useless to him, Kerrigan couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, and she telepathized again, "You still need education!" It seems that after this mission, you are ready to go back and lie down for a few months! ”
That tone was full of gunpowder, Frank subconsciously shuddered when he heard this, and Kerrigan glared at him very unkindly, and Frank could only laugh dryly when he saw this.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Frank quickly changed the subject and said to Captain Leo: "If we want to land Mar and Sarah, the first thing is to clear the annoying defensive batteries on the two moons of Perramas and Tishby, and this depends on the captain. ”
"No problem, two Yamato cannons will take them down." Captain Leo said without any pressure.
Frank enlarged the simulation of the two satellites, and he marked several points on them with special symbols, "These places are anti-aircraft batteries hidden on the ground, they can directly fire anti-aircraft guns on the surface of the satellites, there is no threat to the battle cruiser, but after all, it is a thorn, and it is much more comfortable to pull it out in his heart." ”
Leo: "Wrap it up on me!" ”
At this moment, the voice of the synthetic lieutenant on the battle cruiser sounded on the bridge: "The spacecraft will arrive at the space coordinate points of Mar, Sara X1323, Y359, and Z0846 in 15 seconds.
Exit subspace to start the countdown...
5…
4…
3…
2…
1…
Finish!
The spacecraft successfully reached its destination. ”
"It's time for us to act!" Frank said.
"Let's get ready!" Kerrigan nodded, and finally didn't dwell on the issue, and the two eventually left the bridge of the "Regan".
"Thirdly, the second main battle cruiser Yamato Cannon carries out the charge." Leo stood alone next to the main console, only to see him commanding from the main console.
After 45 seconds, in addition to the Reagan, the third and second main battle cruisers Yamato were able to complete their cannon charge.
Leo was tepid and said, "Launch!" ”
Like two small suns, two groups of super-large red laser artillery pieces of tens of meters directly bombarded the defensive batteries of the Mar and Sara satellites respectively, and the target shield collapsed in an instant, and the defensive batteries were destroyed in an instant.
Immediately afterward, more than forty ghost fighters quickly joined the battlefield, and under Frank's marked sign of the Federation's deployment on the surface of the satellite, this wave of ghost fighters almost swept down without any pressure.
It took less than ten minutes to end the disparity of the battle, and Frank and they had absolute air supremacy.
Frank: They came to the airborne assembly point in the middle of the battlecruiser Reagan.
Frank was still wearing an off-white ghost suit, Kerrigan was walking with him, the two were armed with C-10 shotguns ready to land Mar and Sarah, her ghost suit was golden, the battle armor was very haode outlining her perfect body curves, her soft and fiery red hair was still tied into a ponytail, a slanted hair in front of her forehead covered half of her right cheek, Kerrigan was full of heroic posture.
As Frank looked at Kerrigan, he couldn't help but think of Nova, his lover, her golden hair, her delicate face, and the charming smile that made him unable to help herself. Frank couldn't help but smile.
But then Nova's painful and haggard look came uninvited from his mind, and Frank felt a pain in his heart, and he realized that Nova was still under the control of the Federation.
"That's right! When are I going to rescue my wife? Frank asked Kerrigan abruptly.
"Don't worry! We also really want to find her and bring her to you as soon as possible, after all, a PSI10-level ghost agent, we are also very anxious and concerned. But now ......" Kerrigan suddenly stopped, Frank took a few steps forward and quickly stopped, he looked back, Kerrigan said tepidly:
"Now! You'd better put all your mind on the fight and don't make that low-intelligence mistake. ”
"Yes!"
Frank said casually, and the two continued on their way.
The airborne assembly point of the battle cruiser was on the penultimate floor of the ship, and Frank was in the center of the capital ship on the penultimate level of the battlecruiser, which was a straight passage of 278 meters long, 30 meters wide, and military transport planes were parked on both sides.
As Frank and Kerrigan made their way, the infantry mobile units had begun to rapidly assemble and board the transport. There were even mechanized troops loaded into transport planes, and Frank saw several transport planes carrying siege tanks.
They ended up in one of the transport planes with the same wave of marines.
A transport plane with a full load of people is 36.
The personnel were fully loaded, the door of the transport plane slowly closed, everyone fastened the safety bolt, and saw that the transport plane was stuck on a track and slowly moved out, and the transport planes on both sides of the passage were pulling farther and farther away from each other.
On both sides of the exterior of the battle cruiser, transport planes loaded with ground forces were hung outside the battle cruiser, and these transport planes had already arrived in outer space.
"Ghost Fighter Cover! All transport planes are out of the pendant and ready to land. Leo gave the command on the bridge.
A total of about twenty or thirty transport planes were hung on both sides of the battle cruiser in two rows.
At this time, the pendant is detached from the conveyor. Dozens of transport planes were in rapid free fall under the gravitational pull of Mar and Sarah, but only two seconds later, the engines of the transport planes suddenly turned on and flew to the surface of Mar and Sarah, and the group of ghost fighters surrounded these transport planes to escort them and ensure a safe landing.
The transport plane safely entered the planet's atmosphere under the cover of the Ghost Fighters, and they finally landed safely in the western part of the Aquilonian Plain, the largest desert plain in the Northern Hemisphere, with zero losses.
Over the Aquilonian Plain in the west, hundreds of aircraft fell from the sky, and the landing of transport planes stirred up yellow sand in the sky, and the originally quiet desert was suddenly filled with the roar of engines.
The transport plane landed smoothly, and the ground forces of the Son of Keha quickly set foot on this wasteland where birds don't. Luck was in their hands today, the Aquilonian Plains didn't blow a storm today.
2,180 marines, five tank battalions, three Ghost fighter squadrons were quickly assembled.
"The goal, five kilometers away from the Federal Control Zone Dead Water Station, destroys the federal ground command center in Marsala." Kerrigan said to the front-line commander.
"The army obeys orders!"
"Forward!"
The ground forces of the Sons of Keha marched mightily towards the backwater station, and the movement of the army stirred up the dust and sand in the area, especially when the tank troops pushed past, and the entire army was drowned in the yellow sand.
The federal garrison at Deadwater Station had been waiting for a long time, but they were also beating drums in their hearts, or there was no hope of victory at all.
Neither in terms of the quantity nor the quality of their forces, they could not be compared to the army of the Sons of Keha, and what was even more fatal was that the Sons of Keha almost had absolute air supremacy.
The only advantage is to occupy the favorable terrain.
Despite this, they received an order to hold the command center.
"All the anti-aircraft batteries were activated, the engineering vehicles were on the left and the right were set up with temporary bunkers, and the siege tanks were quickly driven on the 321 and 248 heights on the left.
Brothers, we have no way out, we can only defend to the death! ”
……
The air forces of the Sons of Keha were the first to attack, while the ground forces were already advancing at full speed. However, the opponent's air defense Liliang is not weak, although the ghost fighters can be captured, but there will inevitably be heavy battle losses, and finally the ghost fighters retreat, acting as air cover and hovering over the ground forces, and the final battle will still be handed over to the ground forces.
An hour later, Keha's ground forces finally arrived at the backwater station, and a fierce exchange of fire had taken place. The Federation garrison was bent on death, and before they died, they could pull as many as they could, and they had already become outlaws. It was only a matter of time before the forces of the Sons of Keha captured the Backwater Station, but a good commander must have to reduce the battle damage as low as possible.
"The enemy is not numerous, but they occupy favorable terrain, and their small tank force occupies the high ground, although our troops can still take the position by pushing through it, but the price is too great."
"Damn, there are still so many anti-aircraft batteries, and if the ghost fighters attack strongly, they will inevitably suffer huge losses."
Frank retreated from the front and came to the front command. At this moment, the two sides are in a stalemate stage, and every step forward of the troops will be hit by the fierce fire of the opposing siege tanks.
Frank thought for a moment and said, "The biggest obstacle to our progress is the firepower on these two heights, especially the 321 heights. They must be destroyed, or our troops will suffer heavy losses even if they take the backwater station.
Lieutenant! What do you think of this? We sent a force from the flank, bypassing the frontal battlefield to harass its north face, forcing the tank troops on the 248th Heights to return to the north, not too many, two or three tactical squads, so that the other side may not notice. And the two of us sneaked into the 321 heights to solve the tank troops above, without the fire output of the two heights, our frontal troops can directly advance in a wave to take the backwater station. ”
In order to minimize the loss, this is the best way.
"Third, the seventh tactical team quickly left the battlefield and dispatched with me!" A front-line commander led a force to quietly bypass the frontal battlefield.
Frank and Kerrigan secretly infiltrated 321 Heights and are now on their way.
10 minutes later.
The Federal garrison in Highland 321 was unaware that two ghost agents had infiltrated their backs.
Bang bang bang......
Bang bang bang......
Bang......
The low, shrill sound of shotgun shots rang out, but the siege tank's stunners were deafening, completely covering the sound of shotrifles.
I saw that the marines stationed near the siege tanks were suddenly attacked, and each of them was killed by a headshot.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The sudden fall of their comrades made some of the surviving Marines nervous, and they scanned their surroundings, only to see that there was no enemy, but their own men were falling one by one.
"Ah!!h
A Marine was shrouded in a shadow of fear, and no matter what was in front of him, he kept firing an electromagnetic rifle in all directions.
"Bang ......"
A pinprick bullet pierced his skull, and the Marine instantly fell to the ground, its back against a siege tank beside him.
I saw some footprints suddenly appear on the ground, but I didn't see a human figure at all, and the footprints were rapidly approaching the siege tank.
The next moment, a flat piece of electronics suddenly appeared on the armor of the siege tank.
"Drip ...... Drip... Drip... Drip, drip, drip..."
"Boom!"
The siege tank suddenly exploded without any reaction.
Immediately after that, the same was true of the other siege tanks.
The enemy tank unit on Heights 321 was disintegrated by Kerrigan and Frank in less than three minutes.
