Chapter 17: The Eve of the Storm
In early September 1998, the Angel Tears in orbit launched multiple stealth bird detectors at Earth, and then, after adjusting its attitude, the light spear on the back of the battleship opened fire at low power.
The bird detector scanned the movements of the BETA on the entire Asian continent clearly, and the low-power light spear began to shoot at the BETA's high-threat units with precision, and the weakened light spear could destroy everything within a hundred square meters at a time, especially the light and heavy light classes, those heavy light classes that reached a height of twenty-one meters would be destroyed by orbital bombardment as soon as they appeared.
After such a blow, the number of laser genera and species on the entire continent was weakened to an extremely low level, and immediately after, the bombers and gunboats in Gnaku poured out, and more than a hundred Star Eagle bombers and gunboats of various types passed through the atmosphere, and the fires produced by the atmospheric friction of these bodies fell into the Asian continent like meteor showers.
After entering the stratosphere, the Star Eagle bomber, capable of carrying 10 heavy anti-ship missiles and 40 plasma bombs, flew towards the Beta lair at a speed of 1,800 kilometers per hour (Mach 1.4).
When these whistling grim reapers flew above BETA's head, BETA, which had lost almost all of its light, was powerless to resist, and before it had time to disperse, the plasma bomb fell on BETA's head, a large amount of blue light flashed on the ground, and the high temperature of the plasma directly vaporized any BETA affected by the explosion, and the slightly farther ones were burned into charcoal, and when the blue light disappeared, a large blank appeared in the original BETA group.
"Sir, we've dropped all the plasma bombs, are we going to return?" The bombardier shouted to the captain.
"Return, no, boy, get the gunners ready, we're going to get all the heavy bombs and spare batteries out." The captain snuffed out the cigarette in hand, "It's rare to have such an opportunity, you can't miss it." ”
As a result, the Starhawk bomber, which had just flown at high speed, turned back and began to hover over the BETA cluster, two remote-controlled twin heavy blasters placed under the wings roaring wildly.
The 25mm purified deuterium bomb rained into the bodies of the BETAs, and the small species could not withstand the shot of the heavy explosive bomb at all, and was directly pierced, although the large species would not be pierced by the explosive bomb, but the terrible after-effect of the purified deuterium core directly exploded the body into a pulp.
This constant attack continued to attrition the BETA, and it was not until the large swarms dispersed that the bombers were weakened.
While such a bombing was underway, General Gao Feng, a representative of the united front, looked at the Star Eagle bombers replenishing ammunition at the airfield and sighed: "I really can't imagine that an aircraft of this shape can really fly." ”
"Their engines are very advanced, and I just heard from ground crews that these bombers can fly up to 1.4 times the speed of sound." Li Fuming, who had just been appointed as the general political commissar of the counterattack column, walked to the side of Gao Feng and said.
There was a moment of silence, and amid the roar of the engines of the Star Eagle bombers, General Gao Feng said:
"25,000 people, 421 tactical aircraft, this is half of our family, we are gambling on the lives of soldiers and the future of the country!"
"Would you rather take a gamble or suffocate in the noose of BETA?" Li Fuming asked him.
"Bet, bet at least there is a chance to win, if you don't gamble, you can only wait for death, we can't count on the United States." Gao Feng said firmly.
"Chief," the guard interrupted their conversation, "someone's coming. ”
The two generals turned around and saw a warrior in steel-gray armor walking towards them, the warrior walked up to them, Gao Feng looked up at the warrior who was two heads taller than him and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm the company commander of the Expeditionary Force, and I'm in charge of the feint with you. Your warriors are coming. ”
As soon as Karen finished speaking, the sound of furious engines and huge shadows covered them. It was the Lord's heavy landing ship, its massive hull capable of transporting a regiment of the Astral Army, and it was these big guys that the infantry of the United Front Counterattack Column were now transported.
"Two, let's go organize the team," said Company Commander Karen, "wait a minute, your soldiers will need to change into some better weapons." ”
"Better weapons? Colonel Cole didn't tell us that. The two generals were puzzled, but still followed Karenval.
Company Commander Karen said as she walked, "It was our negligence, Lord Horus completely forgot about the light weapons that the Space Marines didn't use, he only thought about it not long ago. So I'm going to coordinate that. ”
In the base warehouse, Karen Val grabbed an M35 Galaxy laser rifle with one hand and handed it to Gao Feng, "This is a Marine Corps laser rifle, with a total weight of 2.3 kilograms, one magazine can shoot 200 rounds, and one shot is enough to break a person's arm in two." After speaking, he pointed to the laser cannon on the ground and said, "This is the Hellhammer laser cannon, which can help you kill the assault class head-on, the only problem is that it can only shoot four times a minute at the fastest." ”
Gao Feng was stunned and looked at the mountains of weapons and ammunition piled up in front of him, and couldn't believe it, "These are all ours?" ”
"Of course, we've already reached a cooperation, aren't we, anyway, when Lord Horus unifies this planet, your army will also be incorporated into the Planetary Defense Force (PDF), so it's better for you to use it sooner."
Under the operation of the orderlies, the forklifts delivered the weapons to the huge airfield one by one, and the 10,000 vanguard units of the counterattack column had been assembled, and they lined up in a neat queue to hand in their rifles and receive new laser guns, and the instructors of the Marine Corps would teach these soldiers with the goal of retaking their homeland to use laser weapons in a platoon unit.
Just as the infantry was changing their equipment, the tactical aircraft of the counterattack column were on their way over.
Inside the transport ship, staying in the cockpit of the J10 tactical aircraft Cui Yifei was in a daze, as the daughter of a pro-leftist general on the island, she passed the political trial and came here, at first she and her team were in a daze when they were stuffed into a huge transport ship and flew to the mainland, she thought she was arranged to carry out a suicide mission, and she cried in the cab for a long time, and later learned that this time it was actually a feint attack with aliens to settle down.
Suddenly, the team's communication channel sounded "Wow~ This transport plane is really big, even the tactical aircraft is equipped with several eh" It was a member of the storm team who spoke, although the storm team with all women was not very old, but they were all experienced guards.
"If you are in this mood, you might as well pay attention to the battlefield, and I don't know what the situation will be, the briefing said that our mission is to assist the alien Titans to attack west along the Yangtze River."
"True or false! We turned out to be cooperating with the operation, super, shouldn't we be the main force of the operation" One of the team members was obviously not very happy with the word auxiliary.
"No, I don't think we need to be the main force, it's the aliens who are too powerful." Another girl said.
