Chapter 402: Time to Fight Back!
The clouds are like boiling flames, black and red are intertwined, and the whole sky seems to be burning.
The rain of bullets that flew in the sky seemed to be unable to stop the black curtain from falling, and I saw that the billowing smoke had swallowed a corner of the majestic castle.
Even if the flame was faint like a cloud of dust.
But still shattered the myth that the shield was unbreakable.
With the burst of fire from the right wing, all the sergeants on the land showed surprised expressions, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
And a hint of unease.
“…… What happened? ”
"Why is the engine broken again?"
"Something seems to have hit me just now..."
"How is that possible! The defense of the deflection shield is absolute, how can something pass through! ”
"Is that a parachute? Or my delusion······"
"Are those lunatics planning to land on the Iron Heart?!"
"What can that guy do...... It's just one or two centurians to die. "Even though the engine on one side was broken, no one was worried about something going to happen there. As the least technical thing on the Hearts of Steel, the row of engines attached to the wings was already a regular failure, so it was no surprise that they broke down.
The most important part they carry in their airship inventory is the blades of the propeller. It's just that the plan to transfer the deployment will probably have to be delayed for more than two weeks...... Also looking in the direction of the Iron Heart, Rachel opened his mouth in a little surprise.
From the moment there was a commotion in the air just now, the observation module of the airship could not take care of their side.
He didn't know what the natives had done.
But looking at the unbalanced airship, he probably understood that he probably couldn't count on air support for a while.
At least we'll have to wait for the airship to stabilize again.
But......
It doesn't matter anymore.
Reicel retracted his gaze from the airship, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the ruins 2 kilometers ahead.
It was an abandoned town.
The potholed dirt is dotted with broken walls, and the rustic cottages are crawling with vines and moss, and the rain and snow of the years can be seen everywhere.
The town was quiet, and there was no movement at all, but beneath the seemingly calm water, there was a surging spiral of undercurrents.
Stand next to him.
The deputy, who was also wearing a pitch-black exoskeleton, held the telescope in his hand, and after carefully observing it, he said in an affirmative tone.
"Defensive bunkers... But it's very simple, and they probably don't have time to prepare.
About an hour ago, the Ironheart's observation module spotted an unidentified team of 1,000 men, approaching them from the southeast, seemingly intending to enter the city of Eigo.
Considering that there were natives active in the urban area of Seoya City, the staff of the Iron Heart immediately decided that this team should be sent to support the guerrillas reinforcements.
General McClen certainly couldn't let this team slip into the city under his nose, so he immediately issued an order to the Air Marines, asking Rachel to keep this force out of the city before he entered the city.
Compared to the small force that attacked them before, an army of 1,000 people can undoubtedly be regarded as a big fish.
Although in front of the legion, it is still an ant.
However, Rachel did not relax his vigilance because of the insignificance of the other party, and immediately after receiving the order, he led three thousand-man teams with more than 2,000 followers to surround the thousand-man armed forces that reinforced the guerrillas in the city in three directions.
The plan went well.
With the help of aerial reconnaissance, they managed to block the team's path of advance, forcing it to abandon its entry into the city of Seogu and evacuate to the south.
Rechel, of course, would not let the big fish escape, and immediately mobilized armored forces to block their escape route and drive it to the edge of the forest.
As if they knew that they could not escape, the natives simply gave up their escape and took refuge in a small town on the southern outskirts of Seokai City, intending to use the limited cover here to fight to the death against the pursuers of the Legion.
5000 against 1000.
And there is also the support of armored units.
Although the exchange of fire has not yet officially begun, it is clear that the winner has already been decided.
Raindrops the size of beans slipped off the helmet's eyepiece, and the corners of the adjutant's mouth curled into a slightly mocking smile.
"It's a pity that we can't blow them up first, otherwise the battle should be over in ten minutes.
"It doesn't matter."
Rachel said lightly, took off the walkie-talkie hanging on his shoulder, and said in a cold voice.
"All fire freely!"
"The first and second thousandth men suppressed the west and east flanks."
"The 1st Panzer Squadron, with the 3,000-man Squadron attacking from the north flank!"
A neat answer came from the communication channel.
"Yes!"
The war machine is in motion.
Twenty "Scorpion" wheeled infantry vehicles started their engines first, and the twin 45mm gun barrels on the turrets were aimed at the town, and they were lined up like arrows, and they ran forward unhurriedly.
At the same time, the 3,000-man squad sent two hundred-man squads, which were divided into twenty squads, which followed closely behind the infantry chariot and advanced together. Each team consists of two heavy infantry armed with machine guns and heavy body armor, and eight light infantry wearing basic armor.
In addition to this, thirty "Hyena" light armored vehicles also started their engines,
Divided into two groups, respectively, to cover the two wings of the wheeled infantry chariot formation.
The quadruple 10mm machine gun mounted on the turret emitted a cold light, like the teeth of a hyena.
In addition, nearly 500 Hu Congjun were also pushed to the front of the battle.
The wastelanders had ripper-rifles in their hands, their bayonets already on their chambers, their eyes half excited, half fearful.
The rest is nervous and confused.
As cannon fodder units, they will launch the first round of onslaughts under the cover of hyena light armored vehicles.
However, unlike the regular armies that are protected by vehicles.
Light vehicles that travel with them will not follow them into town, but will only provide them with fire cover on the periphery.
If you dare to run away......
The thick barrels would not hesitate to aim at them.
Looking at the town that had been completely surrounded, Rachel narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of pleasure gradually floated in his pupils full of murderous intent.
The pleasure does not come from the killing itself, but from the correction of mistakes. Undoubtedly.
Those barbarians who resist order are the root of all chaos and evil. They rudely take possession of an inheritance that does not belong to them, squandering undeserved favors with the ashes of their humble lives, and lingering like bee mantis and rats.
Mutants, wastelanders, and the xenomorphs... All barbarians, they're essentially the same.
Only by expelling this filthy blood from this land is not a single thing left
It can restore the purity of the land.
Only in this way can the great Willant rebuild the kingdom of heaven on this planet.
And go to the farther world to expand the territory.
The 1st Panzer Squadron was only 1 kilometer away from the town, and the twin 45mm guns of the "Scorpion" infantry tanks lined up in a sharp formation had begun to unleash their ferocious firepower.
Driven by the heavy machine guns, the soldiers who were pushed to the front line screamed like crazy, trying to dispel the fear in their chests, and rushed towards the town like wolves with bullets whizzing overhead.
At the same time, behind the ruins, the flames of gunfire began to flicker to give stubborn resistance.
However, in the face of heavy machine gun and artillery fire, the flames of the guns were like candles fluttering in a storm, crumbling and could be extinguished at any time......
The town's outermost defenses have been crumbled.
Of the 500 Hu Congjun soldiers, only about 100 remained.
These wastelanders are quite pitiful in combat, but as cannon fodder, they perform much better than the clone infantry, and they can always burst out with miraculous powers driven by the desire to survive.
Watching the natives' defenses shrink under the firepower, the cruel smile on Rechel's lips became more and more apparent, and a hint of frenzy - or madness gradually became written on his face.
"Soldiers! Advance! ”
"With your bullets, bayonets, daggers and teeth...... Go and disembowel these filthy worms! Slaughter them in the most brutal way!
"And then lubricate our tires with their blood! Let the barbarians know to disobey
The end! ”
……
West District, Seogu City.
The artillery positions hidden in the mountains were now in a state of billowing smoke and a mess.
Perhaps intended to be reserved for higher-value targets, the opposing side did not use slow-loading 400-mm rifled rockets, but instead used 100-mm guns.
However, the counter-firepower came faster than expected, and it was faster than everyone expected.
Crawling out of the bunker with a dry cough, the poplar wiped a handful of ash from his face, searched around the black and white positions, and finally saw a half-buried hand.
His heart was overjoyed, and he staggered forward, trying to dig out the buried comrades.
However, when he held that hand and was about to exert force, he pulled out half of his arm directly.
Looking at the severed hand in his hand, which was only half broken, Poplar's eyes were blank for a few seconds, and finally he silently took off his coat and wrapped it.
At this time, there was a cough from the side.
Hearing the movement in the ruins, he hurriedly walked towards the voice again, and this time finally found a living person.
The face was buried in the dirt, the left half of it was blackened, but the lips were still moving, and there was still a faint breath.
He recognized the face, the young man's name was Stove, and like him, he was a homeless man who had fled from the north.
Seeing the captain's face, the pupils that had lost color suddenly brightened a little.
"Captain......
"Don't move! I'll help you out! ”
Poplar removed the stones from his body and brought a shovel from the side. Looking at the captain who was digging the earth with an anxious face, the buried young man coughed dryly and choked the mud in his mouth.
"Captain, where are our cannons······"
"Blow up those grandsons! ++What's the deal, it's weird...... Leave that thing alone!
"Captain......
"What's wrong with your!"
"I ...... Can't feel my legs anymore......"
The hand holding the shovel was beaten.
Poplar gritted his teeth and continued to dig.
"I'll buy you one!"
The stove grinned.
He knew that the captain couldn't afford it, and that it wasn't cheap.
But he didn't debunk it.
"Captain, I'····· … Did we win. ”
Poplar glanced back at the burning sky, the billowing smoke that hung over the edge of the airship, and the trailing lights that crept into the sky from time to time.
He wasn't sure what was going on over there.
But he had no doubt in his heart.
“…… Definitely! ”
At the same time, at the end of his gaze, behind the waterfall-like smoke, the brutal and bloody battle had just begun.
The muzzle of the gun spewed fire jumped on the steel-covered deck like beams of flickering thunder.
The pouring rain washed away viscous blood and broken flesh, and the scarlet and shattered armor rolled and tumbled to the ground as far away as an abyss.
However one -
Even with the continuous casualties, it still can't stop the people who are still alive from moving forward.
The manhole cover-sized hatch was pushed open, and the heavily armored soldiers, with leashes around their waists, climbed up to the dome through ladders to try to stop the burning corps rushing towards the thick barrels.
However, as soon as one of them showed his head, an arrow pierced his skull, and with the rain poured in, he fell back into the airship's cabin.
Holding an assault rifle in his hand, Ye Shi looked at Fang Chang in surprise.
"Damn, you took Dawn with you?"
"Or else? Do you want to keep it for the New Year? ”
Fang Chang smiled, but the movements in his hand were non-stop, and a high-explosive arrow accurately nailed the hand that was holding the hatch.
The screams of pain were blown up by the air currents in the sky.
The Marine who fell back into the cabin brought back the high-explosive arrow with the time-delay fuse.
Soon there was a bang, and there were many dead and wounded people under the ladder, and the hot air rushed upwards, and the round hatch on top shook for a while.
At this time, Lao Bai's voice came from the communication channel, as well as gunshots like firecrackers. "Don't get entangled with those infantry!"
"Keep going!"
Fang Chang's expression was solemn, and he immediately said.
"Roger!"
Only a little over 200 soldiers made a successful landing.
I don't know how many Marines and crew there are on the airship, and they can't kill so many people alone.
Their goal is not to capture the entire airship.
Rather, it is to destroy the artillery positions on this airship!
Under Lao Bai's order, the Burning Corps quickly divided into two groups, one group was led by Tempest, and went to the artillery fire area at the front of the airship, and went straight to the twelve ground support guns directly in front of the airship.
And the other group was led by Lao Bai himself, and went straight to the 400mm main gun that stood like a chimney!
The group quickly rushed to the side of the cannon barrel, staring at the towering cannon barrel, Ye Shi couldn't help but smack his tongue.
"Damn, with such a big barrel, I feel like someone can get in!"
Lao Bai's heart moved, and he looked at Fang Chang who was wearing a light cavalry exoskeleton on the side.
"You lead a group of men to rush through the barrel, and I will take the rest of the men to attack through the hatch!"
Fang Chang nodded immediately.
"I'll try!"
With that, he climbed onto the barrel, leaned his shoulders closer, and found that he could just get in, so he immediately beckoned behind him, and led the team to get in without hesitation.
In order to prevent the explosion of ammunition, the ammunition is generally not ready to be fired at any time, but is only loaded when fired.
As a ten-man squad burst in, the sound of firefighting was quickly heard from beneath the barrel. It's too late to confirm what's inside.
Lao Bai immediately beckoned the others to deploy thermite, burning through large holes in the dome of the airship.
The Iron Heart's armor is not just a thin layer of iron, and underneath the steel shell is an alloy skeleton that serves as a supporting structure.
The structure of these steel bars is so hard that even a "switchblade" is hard to blast through.
Lao Bai immediately changed his mind, rushed to the nearest hatch with people, took out thermite and pasted it.
The white light flashed, and the hatch blew up.
Immediately after throwing down a smoke bomb, Lao Bai, who was wearing a heavy cavalry exoskeleton, clamped the assault rifle under his arm, jumped into the smoke covered by the rain of bullets, and took the lead in the corridor directly below.
More than 100 soldiers of the Burning Corps rushed in, and quickly dispersed in a small group of four.
The battle, which was bloodier and more brutal than the street fight, soon began.
The distance of engagement did not exceed ten meters.
The two sides used the corridor as a battlefield, relying on the rooms, doors and corners of the corridor on both sides as cover, fighting for every inch of space in the fierce battle.
Corpses were everywhere in the hallways, the pungent smell of gunpowder believing the charred flesh
It stinks, and life fades in seconds.
In the sound of the eardrum-shattering gunshot, everyone was red-eyed.
Whether it's a player of the Burning Corps, or a soldier of the Legion!
Fighting a bloody path in the corridor, Lao Bai took Ye Shi and quickly broke into the door of the 400 mm main gun cabin.
The two tacitly leaned on the left and right sides of the door, reading Lao Bai's eyes, Ye Shi pulled out the shock bomb inserted in his chest, and was ready to break the door.
At that moment, there were two knocks at the door.
Lao Bai was slightly stunned, and immediately reached out to open the door.
Fang Chang, covered in blood, was standing behind the door.
I saw that the exoskeleton had been shattered, and the crumbling polymer material breastplate was printed with countless bullet holes, and it was impossible to tell whether the person was holding the exoskeleton or the exoskeleton was walking with the person.
He was holding the wall in his left hand and an LD-47 assault rifle in his right hand, blood dripping down the ground with the muzzle facing downwards.
But even though he turned into this ghost, his expression was still very calm, and even squeezed a smile from his face.
Before Lao Bai could ask what was going on, an explosion came from not far in front of him, and it rolled out of the door with a scorching air flow and dust.
Fang Chang coughed, said steadily.
"The ammunition depot is not here...... After entering the gun compartment from the barrel, I saw only the sighting system and the loader. My squad and I took out the gunner and put thermite on the loader, which should have been scrapped by now. He was the only one left standing here, and it was obvious that the members of the squad who went down with him had all been killed.
However, after hearing his words, Lao Bai's tense nerves relaxed slightly.
According to the battle plan, if an ammunition depot for a 400-mm gun is found, the bombs there are used to contain the personnel on the airship, or if the situation is appropriate, the airship is directly blown up.
If it is not found, at least blow up the barrel and paralyze the air support fire of the corps at all costs!
And now, it is clear that this goal is close to completion.
Without the 400mm main gun, Ironheart's ground firepower will be reduced by more than half!
"Well done!"
Looking at Fang Chang, who was covered in blood, Lao Bai grinned and said teasingly. "My little girlfriend who has been with me for so long, I'm still wondering if your skills will be rusty...... Now it seems that I am thinking too much.
"You have a lot of ideas."
Wiping the blood on his face, Fang Chang also smiled faintly, adjusting his breathing while not forgetting to correct him.
"And I should have said that we're not the kind of relationship you think."
Lao Bai looked at him in surprise.
"Really?"
Ye Shi smiled, squeezed his eyebrows and said.
"You don't understand this, what people enjoy is that kind of warmth. Ambiguous feelings. ”
"Fuck off."
Fang Chang rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy.
Just as he was about to say something, the previously muted gunfire rang out again, and bullets whizzed down the side of the hallway.
The crowd returned fire and retreated, retreating into the cabin of the 400-mm gun. "...... These big noses are also ruthless enough, just wiped out a team of people, and immediately another team came up.
Even as an opponent, Fang Chang had to admit that in terms of the will to fight alone, these people were indeed strong and had nothing to say.
If it had been a group of marauders, they would have killed the entire airship by now.
How can you not be surrounded here.
There was a creaking sound in the hallway outside the door.
Listening to the content, it seems to be a persuasion.
"You're surrounded!"
"General McLaen promised that he would allow you to get out of here alive as long as you lay down your arms and surrender.
The sound outside was noisy, and Lao Bai didn't understand what he heard, so he looked at Fang Chang on the side.
"What are they doing?"
Fang Chang said casually.
"Persuasion."
Lao Bai was stunned for a moment, then looked at the door and scolded.
"Persuasion? Haha, roll Nima, Lao Tzu climbed up so hard just to surrender? Let him eat!
After scolding, Lao Bai realized that the other party didn't understand, so he hurriedly looked again
Square length.
"You translate for them!"
Fang Chang sighed, and reluctantly translated this nonsense. The sergeants who were crowded outside were stunned for a moment, but they quickly came back to their senses, and with a burst of shouting, they scolded back.
This time, even Fang Chang couldn't understand what they were saying, and when he saw a few teammates looking at him, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"Probably the dialect of the West Coast... …···”
Yashi sighed.
"You say that if they jump over the wall in a hurry, they don't talk about martial arts, and they just pour mines or throw explosives at us?
Fang Chang smiled.
"It doesn't matter, it's their crystal anyway, if they're going to blow up the 400mm guns, just blow them up.
"Haha, that's right! If you want to fry it, it's good to come! Lao Bai smiled heartily, grinned the corners of his mouth, and continued, "Anyway, the 400mm main gun has been paralyzed, and our mission has been completed!" Now all we have to do is hold on as much as we can, and then wait for support......'
Taking a slight breath, he focused his gaze on the door leading to the hallway not far away, his index finger rubbing against the trigger.
"The rest... · … It's up to the wind! ”
A command post a few kilometers away from the artillery position.
As a herald, I was the blackest, and I trotted back to the side of Brother Quanshui, and gave a military salute with a sense of substitution.
"Report!"
"The feint group failed to reach the southern city to defend itself! They carried out the planned plan No. 3 and retreated to the small town next to Highway 417 in the southern suburbs! ”
The spring commander, holding the telescope, nodded.
"I see."
According to the original plan, a mixed team of 1,000 people led by the Silver Corps and other third-line corps will go to the southern urban area of Seogu City and rely on the fortifications built in advance to defend it.
Once the decoy has pinned down the enemy's large forces, the Death Corps and three thousand-strong teams of mercenaries scattered throughout the city will launch a general attack, using anti-tank equipment to annihilate enemy armored units and force the enemy to withdraw from the city.
Immediately afterward, the Skeleton Corps, equipped with armored units, will unite with the flying attack formation of the Goblin Corps to deliver a fatal blow to the retreating legion.
As for the Jungle Corps, they will carry out the final operation of "anti-air support". However, it is impossible to expect every aspect of the plan to be executed perfectly. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.
He played his cards at the same time as he played the cards opposite.
According to the battle plan formulated in advance, if the feint group failed to arrive, it could only retreat to "Town 417", and the center of gravity of the ground battlefield could only be moved from the southern city to the southern suburbs.
As an alternative, the town also had fortifications they had secretly dug up.
It's just that the positions they have prepared in the city can only be described by the word "pitiful" compared to the positions they have prepared in the city.
Because of the airship, they couldn't build a lot in a town with less shelter, and they could only do it at night, so they only had time to prepare some simple things
bomb craters and sandbags, and there are no underground passages to connect bunkers. Standing next to the spring commander, Kakarot said with a frown,
"There are at least three thousand-man teams besieging the companion group, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long......"
The mixed team of 1,000 players is mainly composed of some life professional players and casual players with combat experience.
Although there are many awakened and veterans who have participated in more than 6 battles, their overall combat effectiveness is quite limited, and they are obviously not comparable to the regular army of the alliance.
Even if their morale is high, they are ready to fight to the last man.
The spring commander frowned, holding the telescope to look at the blurred outline of the south, and suddenly spoke.
"How many more cannons do we have?"
"Report! Artillery positions were wiped out! Only the last twenty rocket launchers that have not yet been exposed are left in the support firepower! "Even when the situation is dire, my blackest salute is still very spirited.
"What about airplanes?" The spring commander asked calmly.
I immediately replied: "The dragonfly transport planes are all gone, and the Goblin Corps mosquito attack aircraft formation is still full!" ”
Looking at the spring water that was deep in thought, Kakarot, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but say. "The other side is armed with a large number of quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns, and that thing is not the kind that the Chewing Bone Tribe made up temporarily. If it is handed over to the Goblin Corps, I am afraid that there is only one chance...... Why don't I bring a team of people over to support them? ”
The Storm Corps still has more than 300 men on standby in the forest, ready to respond everywhere.
However, even if this person fills in, it is a drop in the bucket, and it will be eaten by the other side in minutes.
Not only will it not relieve the pressure of the feint group, but it may fall into passivity as a result. It is equally impossible to give an order in advance for the Death Corps to attack.
If a general attack is launched before the enemy artillery position is paralyzed, once the enemy's support fire is restored, all targets exposed outside the cover will become live targets.
"It's not time yet!"
The Commander of the Springs looked in the direction of the Iron Heart, and his otherwise calm mood couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Originally, he expected that half of the men would land on the Dome of the Iron Heart after breaking through the defense.
However, after the airborne troops jumped, more than half of them were killed or wounded before they landed, and I am afraid that the two centurians who successfully landed could not be gathered.
Even though he had already made the worst-case scenario and expected the opponent's combat power to the maximum, the Iron Heart's firepower limit still exceeded his expectations. Especially in the end, they actually used the operation of aiming the engine at the sky. If it weren't for Luo Yu's judgment at the last moment, the Burning Corps that forcibly landed would have been wiped out. Although he did not doubt the combat effectiveness of those bigwigs, the victory or defeat in the air had undoubtedly become the biggest variable on the entire battlefield.
His thoughts spun quickly, and just as Izumi was thinking about what to do, a string of fire suddenly flickered in the air.
I saw that the gun bay under the front of the airship suddenly exploded into a fireball, and the burning flames engulfed the twelve gun barrels pointing forward.
At the same time, a slender wisp of red smoke was also from that almost at the same time
The barrel of the 400mm gun floated out.
Although the wisp of red smoke was faint like a candle flame flickering in a storm in the dark fog and pouring rain, its presence was still clearly visible to everyone on the ground.
Looking at the sky in a daze, Kakarot muttered. "Damn, awesome!"
It really blew up?!
He also saw the flames blooming in the sky, and the dark clouds on the face of the spring water were swept away, and his eyes instantly released joy.
It's done!
And that's not all—
Even faster than planned.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ordered.
"Rocket artillery positions immediately fire! Armored cluster on the north side of the target town! ”
"Also, inform the fringe dude!"
"It's time to fight back!"
1 second to remember:
