Looking at the three-dimensional image of the Unicorn Fortress displayed on the screen, the corners of McLean's mouth could not contain a hint of joy.

Everything was as he expected. All defenses of the fortress are closed, and all access points are closed. The port berths near Chu Tang's side of the fortress were also empty, and there was not even a single spaceship.

However, what made McLean a little uneasy was the Super Fortress main gun "Unicorn Horn", at this moment, this powerful fortress main gun was extremely quiet, occasionally rising, occasionally retracting; Although the muzzle of the cannon is constantly emitting blue light, judging from the energy detection, the action of charging and releasing is also repeated. Obviously, up to now, the Chu Tang side has still not been able to control this main gun. Now the New American Fleet has entered the range of the main guns of the fortress, but it has not yet reached the firing range of the main guns of the battleship, if the Chu Tang side can control the main guns, I am afraid that it has begun to be quickly charged and ready to be fired.

Turning his gaze, McLean asked, "How long will it take for the Chutang fleet, which is closest to us, to reach the fortress?" ”

The instability of the main guns of the fortress has long frightened the Chu Tang fleet moored here, and many fleets have been unable to detect it, and it is estimated that they have run out of the detection range. However, they could still see a few distant Chutang fleets on the screen, and they must have also discovered the fleet of New America and were rushing over at high speed.

"General, judging from the calculation results of the light brain, the nearest fleet is the third local fleet of the Chutang Guzhou Star Domain, and their speed is very slow, so they fall last. If you want to rush back, this fleet will take at least half an hour. However, his subordinates estimated that in a maximum of twenty-five minutes, other main fleets would rush to support the fortress at the cost of overloading their engines. ”

His adjutant said from the side, and McLean smiled faintly and said, "You used the wrong word, they are not here to support the fortress, but to attack." Because when they arrive, they will find that the flag of the new America has been planted on this great fortress! The beautiful Unicorn Fortress will return to the hands of the Federation after a lapse of twenty-four years! After a pause, he looked at the lonely fortress on the screen, and raised his voice: "The distance is almost the same, order, the second, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh fleets are close to the fortress and prepare to storm and enter!" The rest of the fleet surrounded the fortress according to the plan, preparing to defend against the Chutang army! ”

In an instant, McLean's order spread throughout the fleet.

Immediately afterward, except for the five landing fleets, the other fleets quickly changed formations and prepared to surround the fortress. The five landing fleets quickly approached the Unicorn Fortress, and when they saw the huge main gun, almost all the officers and men showed a deep sense of fear in their hearts. With such a powerful main artillery, with the current density of the Federation fleet, this cannon can kill at least one fleet! But in their hearts now, they are only glad or happy, because this extremely powerful super weapon has no effect at the moment, just like a tiger that has lost its claws, allowing them to ravage at will.

"Brothers, come on! Unicorn Fortress is like a pretty, already stripped naked and waiting for our presence, what are you bunnies waiting for! The captain of the battleship brawler in a space combat suit and a beard roared loudly, picked up his Loheed S200 laser gun, and slapped the button on his side, and suddenly a strong force surged from behind, shooting him towards the small planet made of metal.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of warriors carrying various tools and weapons approached the battleship of the fortress at close range, projecting out and rushing towards the unicorn fortress, which had no defensive power. McLean obviously wanted to control the fortress in the shortest possible time, so he spared no expense and threw five fleets with the strongest battleship fighters in the Federation fleet in one go.

Five fleets, a total of 500,000 battleship fighters, and 100,000 mecha warriors! This is already half of all land combat units of these five fleets.

This figure is close to 1.5 times the one-time investment of land troops in Chu Tang's attack on the Unicorn Fortress 24 years ago, which is extremely exaggerated for both Chu Tang and New America. You must know that it was a unicorn fortress attacked by Chu Tang, but it was not as undefended as it is now, and almost all weapons were fully opened, which was much more difficult. But for the cautious and cunning McClain, the speed and time he needs, if the Chutang fleet has returned before the occupation, these five main fleets are extremely limited in air combat power because they have to support the land forces, although he is sure to use the remaining other fleets to block the Chutang army, but the cautious McClain does not want to take risks, so he invests so many land troops.

The battleship brawlers who were ejected to the surface of the fortress did not immediately start working, some of them carefully took out their weapons and stood on guard, and some of the fighters controlled various instruments and began to probe the surface of the fortress. After a while, someone excitedly shouted: "Found it, the 425th Marine Team of the Fourth Detachment of the Seventh Fleet has found a passage entrance!" ”

The Federation fleet had a large number of warships on the surface of the fortress, and a team was searching almost every corner. Soon, all fifty entrances to the fortress had been found.

"Well, you can be sure that there is no danger." McClain nodded slowly, seeing this scene, even the always very steady McClain had excitement flashing in the corners of his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Let the rest of the troops go up too, they don't have to carry weapons, all bring mechanical tools, and the passage must be opened within thirty minutes!" ”

The 500,000 soldiers and 100,000 mecha that were put in advance were only used to explore the way!

Looking at McLean, the adjutant felt a little shocked. Even though everyone had already thought the fortress was out of battle, the cautious five-star general refused to put all his chips into it. However, this is also good, the remaining troops do not have to carry weapons, and the efficiency of destruction is much higher.

Countless pieces of equipment were catapulted and sent to the surface of the fortress.

As soon as they got the equipment, everyone immediately assembled it in an orderly manner, including the later fighters. Portable military energy output devices, medium-sized laser cutting devices, directional blasting devices, etc., were quickly assembled one by one. It can be seen that these Federation soldiers have undergone extremely strict training, even if they stand on top of the enemy's most powerful weapons, they do not have the slightest panic, and there is not a single idler, all of them are working in an intense and orderly manner.

As the tools were assembled, the laser cutter was held in the hands of some of the fighters, firing extremely hot laser beams. The laser cutter, which can easily cut through the armor of a battleship, is not fast at all in this case, which shows how many expensive metal alloys New America invested in building this invincible fortress back then.

The fighters first used a laser cutter to draw the general extent of the entrance armor plate, and instead of cutting continuously, they only cut a few meters at each distance, so that the speed was much faster. After a circle was completed, a heavy military mecha swooped down from the sky, and its powerful force instantly smashed the alloy steel plate that was only connected to the void. A loud bang was immediately followed by numerous cheers, and the warriors only roared happily a few times before returning to work.

The passage of the fortress was long, long. Even the shortest one is about a kilometer, and every few tens of meters there is a layer of extremely strong alloy steel plates, and if you want to open this passage, you must destroy all these alloy steel plates.

This is not an easy task, whether it is for Chu Tang or New America.

Although the New American attack was a defenseless fortress, it took time to destroy all the alloy steel plates; And Chu Tang relied on the people who had lurked in early to control the three passages, although he couldn't control the weapons in the passages, but fortunately he didn't let the alloy steel plates of the passages close. But even so, when Chu Tang attacked the fortress for the last time, within twenty-four hours, the number of soldiers who died on the surface of the fortress alone was as high as 140,000, and the number of soldiers who died in the passage exceeded 200,000.

It can be imagined that if the alloy steel plate and the weapons in the passage are all working, it is almost impossible to capture this "unicorn fortress".

Looking at this scene, McKellen couldn't help but congratulate himself that he could come across such a good opportunity. In his heart, he was extremely grateful to the man who could provide him with such important information.

At the same time, inside the fortress, Lin Jiaoyang and more than a dozen officers were silently watching the group of federal soldiers who were frantically destroying on the big screen in the conference room.

"How many lanes have you been destroyed?" Lin Jiaoyang asked without looking back.

Behind him is a light brain, and it is Yun Yi who controls the light brain. He didn't even need to look at it, and immediately replied, "The fastest Federation Marine has already destroyed four gates, and there are seventeen gates left in the shortest passage. ”

"It's pretty fast." Lin Jiaoyang said with a smile, which suddenly relaxed the tense atmosphere in the conference room. He asked, "How are the various departments inside the fortress prepared?" ”

Yun Yi glanced at the light brain and said, "All departments are ready, and they can be dispatched at any time. ”

"Hehehe, don't worry." Lin Jiaoyang said with a smile: "Let those federate people be happy for a while, anyway, we will install the cut gate again, and it won't cost much." ”

Everyone laughed, and an officer suddenly said, "Marshal, the Federation fleet is outside, and we can't communicate with other fleets." So will our fleet outside be able to attack in time? ”

Lin Jiaoyang smiled confidently and said, "From the moment the Federation fleet began to project the first warrior, all the fleets have begun to count down. They also have a copy of this plan, so they don't have to worry about it. I can say that we will win this battle! ”

The officer exclaimed: "Your Excellency Marshal not only has a vision far beyond ordinary people in military command and overall strategic situation, but also has such a keen eye in this kind of detail, and his subordinates are extremely impressed!" Chu Tang has a general commander like Marshal Lin, so why be afraid of the clowns of the New United States. ”

Although this sentence was suspicious of patting the horse, everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin Jiaoyang didn't say anything, just smiled faintly. People like him don't care about this kind of speech anymore.

On the screen, the New American Marines continue to destroy the passages, and one gate after another is cut down. In the beginning, these people also divided a part of the weapons to destroy the hidden weapons in the passage, but after the destruction of the fourth gate, it seems that the enemy has determined that the Unicorn Fortress has indeed lost the ability to fight back, so they will no longer destroy those weapons. During this period, Lin Jiaoyang kept asking about the extent of the damage, and Yun Yi also answered them one by one.

Finally, when there were still three gates left in the shortest passage, Yun Yi reminded: "Marshal, the fleets we use to camouflage and confuse the enemy will be within the enemy's range in three minutes. ”

Lin Jiaoyang glanced at the screen, and the seven or eight fleets on it were like crazy, and the engines of each battleship were overloaded, hurrying towards the fortress. In the distance, it seems that there are still some fleets, also moving at high speed. These fleets are all camouflaged, and the eight fleets in front are all local fleets in the Guzhou Star Domain, although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the main fleet, and the battleships are also eliminated from the main fleet, but in terms of quantity, they are the same as the main fleet, which perfectly plays a role in confusing the enemy. And those fleets in the distance are just some transport fleets, and with the detection technology of the new United States, at such a distance, you can only vaguely see the approximate number, and can see whether it is a full-fledged fleet. But in this case, especially if there were eight local fleets used to confuse, the Federation would definitely take it for granted that those were all Chutang fleets that had galloped to support the fortress.

"Well, I see!" Lin Jiaoyang stood up with a sigh, and his majestic voice resounded throughout the conference room: "Order, activate all the defense systems of the Unicorn Fortress, fire with all your might, and be sure to destroy all the enemy troops who land on the fortress!" ”

"Order: The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Mecha Brigades of the fortress will launch an attack on the enemy forces landing in the fortress in three minutes! Remember, we don't need captives! ”

"Order: Chu Tang's twelfth, thirteenth, seventeenth, and twenty-first fleets are put into first-level combat readiness, and after waiting for the mecha brigade to destroy the enemy marines, immediately rush out of the passage and launch a fierce attack on the enemy fleet!"

……

Looking at the Chutang fleet that was about to enter the firing range, McLean squinted his eyes slightly. In addition to the five fleets responsible for attacking the Unicorn Fortress, he also has a full ten New American main fleets, with a total of 100,000 warships. Not to mention that the Chutang fleet is approaching one by one, and they all arrive by overloading the engines, and the engines may stop working at any time. Even if all of the ten, or even fifteen Chu Tang main fleets arrived, he was confident that he would hold on to the position of capturing the unicorn fortress.

Moreover, on a certain battleship, he also carries a light brain core that completely matches the [Kirin] host, as long as the fortress is captured and the light brain machine room is captured, after installing this core, only a slight modification is needed, and the fortress can be activated immediately. These are all plans that McLean has made for a long time.

However, in the case of what could already be said to be foolproof, McLean felt that something was wrong.

Problems with the fortress? No, it's not. The fortress has not had any counterattacks so far, and there should be no problems.

Problems with the fleet? It's not like these fleets are crazy one by one, and they don't care about the life and safety of their engines at all. If it weren't for the ownership of the Unicorn Fortress, I believe they wouldn't be so desperate.

So, what's the problem?

McLean's mind raced for thought, and he didn't even hear the lieutenant report to him a few times.

After a long moment, he shook his head. It seems that he really thinks too much, and there are no problems in this fight so far, and even if there is, he is sure that he will rule the problem out of victory. In any case, this battle, the new America will win!

"How many more doors are there before we can break into the fortress?" McLean asked back.

The adjutant immediately replied: "According to the structure of the fortress we have obtained, the shortest passage has two doors to enter. The longest one, with five more doors. According to the calculation of the light brain, it will take no more than ten minutes at most for the army to enter the fortress. ”

McLean nodded, but the gloom between his eyebrows could not be dissipated.

"Huh?"

Just as McLean was engrossed in looking at the approaching Chutang fleet on the screen, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Immediately test the sailing speed of this Chutang fleet!" ”

The adjutant didn't know why McLean's mood changed suddenly, so he immediately tapped the light brain quickly, and then reported it to McLean.

"This speed...... This speed ......" McLean's eyes were vaguely glazed, he seemed to think of something, but he was not sure. At this time, his adjutant seemed to have discovered something and shouted, "General, the speed of this Chutang fleet has slowed down. ”

"What!"

McLean rushed to the adjutant in one lunge, looked at the speed of the fleet displayed on his light brain, and suddenly exclaimed, "Damn, we may have been fooled." Among these fleets, none of them was Chu Tang's main fleet! Damn, can anyone tell me where Chu Tang's main fleet is! ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard the shrill sounds of several emergency communications above the fleet's communication brain. Several of the communications soldiers immediately connected the communication, and McLean couldn't help it, and ran over quickly, he knew that if there was no extremely important matter, no fleet would use the emergency communication channel casually.

"What happened?"

There was a slight tension in McLean's voice, and there was even a hint of ...... Fear.

"General, all the squads sent by the five fleets to attack the fortress passage have all been attacked, and the automatic attack firepower in the enemy's passage is extremely strong, and it is difficult for us to resist!"

"How is this possible!" McLean's pupils dilated suddenly, and his face was full of disbelief.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers in charge of the detection system shouted: "General, it has been detected that the passage to the fortress is opening, and that is ...... Oh my goodness, so many mechfighters! ”

The screen changed instantly, and from the camera device carried by the soldiers attacking the passage, McLean could clearly see that on the walls on both sides of the passage, countless fire snakes were continuously sprayed out, catching the Federation soldiers who were working by surprise, and without even having a chance to resist, they were instantly beaten into a sieve. What frightened him even more was that the remaining doors were opened in unison, and countless mecha warriors swarmed out of them and rushed towards those unarmed Federation marines.

They swung their long, concussive knives that glowed coldly, and rampaged through the passages. Only a very small number of the Federation Marines working in the passage are carrying weapons, most of the soldiers are manipulating various tools, and the weapons of those Federation mecha warriors have not been taken out in time, how can they resist when they encounter the automatic attack system of the passage and Chu Tang's mecha army? In the passage, it was a completely one-sided slaughter, not only were there a large number of those Chu Tang mecha warriors, but the performance of the mecha was also a big cut above the federal mecha, each federal mecha almost had to face three or four Chu Tang mechas, those Chu Tang mecha were extremely ruthless, and the moves were all aimed at the key points, and the speed was very fast, and there was no chance to even make the federal mecha warriors surrender.

After the automatic attack system of the channel was opened and the army of Chu Tang mecha appeared, it was less than thirty seconds, and almost all the federal soldiers in these twenty channels were dead, except for a small number of mecha who were still shooting dead corners and desperately resisting, only some of the seriously injured federal soldiers who fell in a pool of blood were screaming and moaning, and soon these voices were gone, either killed by the barrage of the automatic attack system, or killed by the Chu Tang mecha.

"General...... Checkmate! ”

McLean's eyes glazed over, his mind blank as he stared at the blood-red screen, and it took him half a day before he woke up. The adjutant next to him shook his body and shouted eagerly: "General, give the order quickly, otherwise all the soldiers we landed on the fortress will be sacrificed!" ”

McLean, who came to his senses, knew that he might have been ambushed, and he was now hesitating whether to continue the attack or retreat immediately. He didn't dare to attack, because he didn't know where Chu Tang's main fleet was and when it would appear. But he did not dare to retreat and give his back to the enemy, which was undoubtedly a suicidal act.

McLean, though cunning, has always been cautious in his commanding style. But at the same time, he also has a shortcoming, that is, indecision!

If at this time, he can send two or three fleets to the rear of the palace, and the other fleets immediately choose to retreat at high speed, maybe there is still a chance of survival.

But he didn't, he hesitated.

If he can take the Unicorn Fortress, no matter how much fleet he loses, he will get the cheers of the whole country! But if he retreats, even if he only loses the 1 million marines and 200,000 mecha soldiers, he will face accusations from political enemies and scorn from the people, because he has failed! As a result, he will no longer be able to sit in the position of commander-in-chief and minister of defense, and resignation and retirement are the only paths he can choose.

So, he didn't dare to take risks.

"Order, let the second, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh fleets attacking the fortress immediately abandon the attack, move to the front of the fortress at full speed, and prepare to defend against the enemy fleet. Order the eighth, ninth, and thirteenth fleets to launch an attack on the fortress, focusing on the first to tenth passages, and use the method of coordinated operations of warships and mechas, so as to eliminate all the Chutang mecha warriors in the fortress! ”

The adjutant did not hesitate and immediately gave the order.

McLean sighed and prayed in his heart, hoping that the soldiers and mechfighters who remained in the fortress would be able to wait for the support of eight, nine, and thirteen fleets.

Now, McLean knows he has only one shot! The passage to the fortress was about to open, as long as he could destroy these mechmen, even if it was only half of them. As long as you can send the light brain core into the fortress to control it, then you still have a good chance of winning this battle.

However, at this time, the two pieces of information sent by the adjutant made McLean almost faint in the command room as if he was struck by lightning......
