726 Hand-to-hand combat (2)

The moon has no atmosphere, so no matter how strong the explosion is, it will not produce mushroom clouds, which are a phenomenon that is inevitable in the event of a nuclear explosion on Earth, only countless mud, sand, and rocks that have been blown away by the explosion will fly into the air, and the gray will fly all over the sky. The Moon's gravitational pull is so small that most of the sand and rocks are moving faster than its first cosmic velocity, and it is impossible to be sucked back to the surface by the Moon's gravitational pull.

Along with the Atlantean Marine Corps, there were also a large number of defensive facilities in the ambush area, but for the result of destroying a large number of enemies, a small loss was not a matter at all, Wang Wei would rather destroy all the weapons than let these weapons fall into the hands of the Atlanteans.

The Atlanteans are far superior to humans in terms of technology, and if they had studied their weapons thoroughly, humanity would never have had a chance to defeat them.

As for whether the weapons and equipment of other countries will be studied by the Atlanteans, Wang Wei is not at all in consideration.

Although the direction of scientific and technological development of all countries in mankind is basically the same, there are still many deficiencies in the details, and each country has its own military secrets.

The military has military cooperation with the United States, Russia and Europe, but even if the military strength of the Republic is the largest in the world, it does not dare to say that any kind of weapon is the top in the world.

Therefore, although the study of the weapons of other countries can give the Atlanteans a certain understanding of the weapons and equipment of the Republic, the deep military secrets will never be leaked.

It is precisely these unknown military secrets that constitute the core of a country's national defense strength. In the past 10 years or so, the military science and technology of the Republic have developed explosively, and no one dares to say that it is the second in the world in terms of purely technological background, and even the Yankees, who have been chasing after the Republic to the death, do not dare not recognize the difference in strength between the two sides.

Moreover, even if the Atlanteans figured out the human weapon system, they would not necessarily come up with a way to fight it.

For example, anyone on the earth who knows a little bit about weapons can basically tell the principle of a firearm by picking out a random one, and some of them can even make a qualified firearm with the right tools and materials.

But no matter how much they know about firearms, their flesh and blood are in the face of bullets. It's the same shot and two eyes. It's impossible to be invulnerable just because you know enough about weapons in your head.

By the same token, the Atlanteans, having learned enough about human weapons, would certainly have developed some targeted equipment and counteracted the power of human weapons at a certain level. But it is absolutely impossible to completely sweep all human weapons into the dustbin of history.

The loss of the first attack annoyed Chillen. He immediately changed his tactics. Order four warships to fly at low altitude while using shipboard firepower to clear the way for the Marine Corps, and use overwhelming firepower superiority to wipe out all hidden dangers underground.

The four battleships carried out his order without hesitation, disintegrating the beams to form a slowly advancing curtain of light. Like a barrage, Xu Jin started from the ambush area and extended to the moon base, and the good lunar plain was carved by dense decomposition beams, and there were holes several meters deep all over the ground, and it was not too much to describe it as digging three feet into the ground.

A large number of hidden bunkers and defensive weapons hidden underground were destroyed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, half of the defensive layers on the periphery of the base were cut through.

However, the wounded and dead of the first batch of Marines sent by Chillen had been wiped out, and he had to redeploy another batch of Marines to parachute in.

With the first batch of airborne marines to learn from the past, the second group of Atlantean warriors were much more careful, and they strictly followed the path ploughed by the disintegrating beams, even if the potholes in the ground greatly affected the speed of the advance, they would never take half a step!

The gravitational pull of the moon is pitifully small for the earthlings, and the Atlanteans who are tall are naturally not taken seriously, and thousands of Atlanteans are bouncing forward like a large group of golden rabbits, a rare sight to see.

However, the position of the plough is not safe, and the width of the light curtain composed of four warships is only about two kilometers, which is really not safe for defensive weapons deployed near the lunar base.

As a result, no matter where the Marine Corps went, a few turrets would suddenly pop up outside the "safe zone" and quickly rain down bullets or bright laser beams on the advancing Marine Corps.

The moon's gravity has very little effect on the ammunition, and the power of the armor-piercing projectile after flying over a kilometer is almost not reduced, and if it is hit by a large number of armor-piercing shells, it will also be killed on the spot.

The laser cannon is sharper than the rapid-fire cannon of the force, and every time the beam sweeps, it will cut off a few unlucky ghosts.

It's a pity that the battleships in front are very vigilant, and any turret that leaks through the net will be immediately eliminated by the battleship after it is exposed.

In addition, the turrets that were farther away also aimed their weapons at the battleships in the air, but in addition to attracting the counterattack of the battleships, the light weapons with limited power could not hurt the battleship at all, and it did not take long to stop the useless fire harassment.

The grief of the Marine Corps continued to lose strength in piecemeal battles, and by the time they reached half of the outer defenses, their 1,000-strong contingent had been reduced by more than 20%.

Four battleships had to slow down and double the area covered by the light curtain.

Although distance cannot weaken the power of armor-piercing shells, it can greatly reduce the accuracy of live weapons, thereby indirectly reducing personnel losses.

After expanding the coverage area, the advance speed of the warships was more than doubled, which was outrageously slow, and Qilun really couldn't stand the speed of the turtle climbing, so he sent six more battleships to carry out the covering mission, and ten triangular battleships lined up, and the advance speed of the Marine Corps was greatly accelerated, and the troops were approaching the moon base.

There are few effective counterattacks from the lunar base, but this does not mean that there is no power to fight back, but Wang Wei's desire to capture the old man.

Originally, he only wanted to take down the first four enemy ships, but he didn't expect the Atlanteans to send another six, what target is better than ten low-altitude slow-flying warships?

Feeling that the distance was almost over, Wang Wei gave an order, and the missile silos in the inner defense circle of the base suddenly opened, revealing vertically launched missile nests, and the two missile nests and fifty short-range air defense missiles were launched at a rapid rate of four to five missiles per second.

The distance was so close that it took only a few seconds for a distance of more than a dozen kilometers to be crossed by a missile with a speed of 3,000 kilometers per second. (To be continued......)
