Chapter 31: "Forcible Seizure" (5)
The battle on the ground is gradually tilting in favor of the humans. With the success of Mar Sara and Joe Sara's defense, the Star Spirit Rapid Counterforces that broke through to Keha Point became the turtle in the urn. Three points simultaneously launched an onslaught on the attacking Spirits, and the reinforced armored forces have also landed and begun to reinforce the front line. With heavy firepower, the human race is even more worthy of the fast reaction force of those star spirits.
After costing twelve dead and a Goliath-armed robot, the astral forces of Keha Point were repulsed by the humans. The garrison immediately began to collect the wounded, set up positions, and prepare for the arrival of the base module.
However, the situation at Jumoyan Point deteriorated rapidly, and November suddenly lost contact after the last contact, and the last signal of the landing troops was only a few screams and exclamations, and then they lost contact with the bridge. Yang Yi could only think that the worst had happened to Yumoyang and report it to the whole army.
Given that only Keha Point has been granted a landing zone, Yang Yi must choose to send the remaining forces to the surface as soon as possible, and then let them quickly destroy the orbital defense system, allowing the fleet to descend into the atmosphere for support and battlefield control.
Therefore, they had to increase the number of airborne batches, quickly consolidate their positions, and then gather forces to quickly attack.
After discussing with Renault, he broadcast the message to the entire fleet, and began to project his troops into the landing zone on the surface without interruption. Expand the ground forces to a single regiment as much as possible, and then capture the Yumayan Point that you have not been able to capture before, and attack the Star Spirit base from both sides, destroying the orbital defenses.
Mar Sara Point, 6th Marine Platoon.
"Kim, Douglas, come here!" The platoon commander called the two Marines to the front.
The two men hurriedly trotted over with assault rifles, and the leaders of the other two squads had already gathered here.
"Head."
"New mission instructions have been issued from above, regarding the operation to recapture the Yumayan point." The platoon commander said, "Our platoon will act together with platoons 8 and 12. Due to the losses of the Rangers and our own, the codenames of the units have been readjusted, and in a few moments a new codename should be issued to your respective tactical terminals. ”
"In order to prevent a possible counterattack from the Star Spirits, the mech troops will stay in the camp, so we will have to rely on ourselves. However, the tank platoon will launch an artillery attack on Yumoyan Point first. Immediately after the shelling, we launched a surprise attack on the Astral defenders at Yumayan Point. ”
"I've delivered the mission briefing to your tactical terminal."
Mission Briefing:
Intelligence: Intelligence indicates that there are still remnants of the Astral Defenders at Yumayan Point, and that they are trying to re-establish their defensive positions. The point had previously been occupied by a friendly Marine platoon codenamed "November", but the platoon lost contact before reinforcements arrived. Reinforcements also quickly lost contact after landing. Therefore, the plan requires all displacements to do what they can and keep up to date with the latest developments.
Mission Objectives: Advance to Yumoyan Point and clear the Star Spirit troops along the way; search and occupy four auxiliary points near the Yumayan point; Raid on Yumoyan point after the shelling; Wipe out the remnants of the Star Spirit Defenders; Hold the Yumayan point and the four nearby auxiliary points until the arrival of the large force.
Units: 6th Marine Platoon, 8th Marine Platoon, 12th Marine Platoon, 4th Tank Platoon
Mission Codename: "Foxtrot"
Unit codenames: "June" (6th Marine Platoon), "August" (8th Marine Platoon), "December" (12th Marine Platoon), Delta (4th Tank Platoon), "Alcohol" (2nd Marine Company), "Wolf's Lair" (A1 Strategic Cruiser), "Crossing" (HMS Hyperion)
"Roger, head." After a brief glance at the mission briefing, Kim stepped forward and asked, "Has this mission been strengthened?" Or are the astral spirits on the other side only fanatics? ”
"There is no reinforcement, and it says that ensuring the safety of Keha is the top priority, so there is not much firepower that can be allocated to us. The tank platoon is the maximum limit of support. We tried to get it, but it didn't agree. ”
"Damn...... Well, when will the action begin? ”
"At thirteen o'clock in the afternoon, we will start our journey at dusk, and try to reach Yumoyan before nightfall, and you must also take advantage of the jet lag as soon as possible. The Astral still has the upper hand on the ground, and we have to take advantage of the darkness to attack. Until then, you can go to the armory in Keha in batches to pick up the appropriate equipment. Remember to restock your ammo, the Star Spirit doesn't have any ammo for us to capture. ”
"Yes!"
"Okay, each squad leader informs the soldiers of each squad to disband!"
At the same time, six kilometers west of the Yumayan point.
"Damn it......" Ral cautiously looked out from inside the cave. The jungle gave him the perfect shelter to survive the intense patrols of the astral spirits.
His signal amplifier had been broken, and he had nearly broken his power armor, killing him. Now he can only receive a valid signal within 500 meters.
If he wants to survive now, he must travel to Keha Point to join up with his allies. If nothing else, there should be friendly troops stationed there. Prior to the loss of contact with Alpha (at this point A1 had been codenamed Wolf's Lair), the mission briefing mentioned that the Kerha Point was located at Keha Point, where a landing zone had been established. If you want to find a rendezvous of allies, this is the best place to go.
But before that, he wanted to find his surviving companions. It is too dangerous to march alone in the jungle, what if the nearby woods start saying "En Taro Tassadar......
"This is Private Lal Ramos of the Black Rose Pirates, belonging to the 32nd Marine Squad of the 1st Marine Platoon, and my unit has been dispersed. Call an audible friendly in range, I need emergency support. Complete. ”
He tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but he was afraid that it would be too low for the people listening to the radio to hear clearly. When you're done, set the message to play at repeating intervals. In fact, this does have its risks, as he can't keep the radio silent, and it is easy for the star spirits to detect. But whether the Star Spirits use the radio is still a problem, and whether they listen is another problem. At least there are no examples of how the Astral will listen to radio channels that are not used at all.
Then he cautiously poked his head out again to look around, then returned to the cave, pulled out the tactical terminal, called up the tactical map, and began to plan the route.
Given that all connections to his superiors had been cut off, he had to be prepared to adapt at all times, even if he had planned his route in detail. At present, he can only rely on the offline map in the tactical terminal for rough planning, and cannot be connected to the higher-level information base, so he does not know how the specific situation has changed, and he does not know where he is going.
