Just as the battle in space had just begun, an expeditionary force of about 10,000 marines and 200,000 vanguard troops willing to be lackeys of the invaders on the ground entered the territory of the Carlos Empire.
The Marine Walker pilot, Private 1st Class, opened the hatch of the mecha cockpit, looked at the uninhabited villages and scenery on the side of the road, yawned a little boringly, wiped the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, took out a necklace from his arms, opened the necklace, and the projection of a beautiful girl said softly to him: "White, I'll wait for you to come back, White, I'll wait for you to come back." This is a holographic projection photo, and the girl in the photo is White's childhood sweetheart, who gave him his purity and freshness the night before he joined the army, and affectionately brought this necklace for him.
According to the third-class citizen service regulations of the Hod Empire, every third-class citizen must serve for the empire for three years without pay when he becomes an adult, and White is the third year this year, and in another month he can take off his military uniform and go home to his hometown and marry his childhood sweetheart, this day he waited for three years.
"Yo, White, you're looking at your fiancée's picture again, no wonder you don't want the woman you gave you a few days ago, it's hard to find a good man like you now!"
"Hahaha......!" ×N.
White's comrade and Jimmy, the fire controller in the same mech, joked, causing the other Marines and pilots around him to laugh.
White blushed embarrassedly and put away the necklace and pretended to continue looking at the scenery, and his shy expression caused a burst of laughter from his comrades. Then the conversation shifted to the woman who was being offered to them was strong enough, and the woman had big breasts. Men, whether they are aliens or not, this is the same topic, and the topic is always inseparable from the opposite sex.
"Toot toot ....... ”
The alarm on White's driver's seat went off, and White sat back in the driver's seat to check that it was the on-board computer warning that the unit was locked. Because the weapons of the Continental Alliance were almost primitive in White's opinion, he didn't think that his mecha was really locked by the enemy but a computer malfunction, so he turned off the alarm and turned it on again, but the alarm still thought again.
"Damn it, hey, Jimmy, our alarm is broken and keeps ringing!" White leaned out and shouted to the fire controller sitting in the back, Jimmy's rank was Corporal and the commander of this mech. There is a problem White must report to him.
Jimmy waved his hand disappreciatively and replied, "Turn it off, leave it alone." ”
"Oh. White answered, and returned to the driver's seat, ready to call the alarm that was getting louder and louder.
"Toot toot toot ......!"
"Toot toot toot ......!"
"Toot toot toot ......!"
In addition to White and Jimmy's mechs, the alarms of more and more mechs and armored personnel carriers in the marching army column also sounded wildly.
If one is a malfunction, then the alarms of more than a hundred mecha and vehicles sounded at the same time, it will definitely not be an accident.
"Enemy attack!"
I don't know who shouted at the top of his voice, the whole marching team was in chaos, the pilots of the mecha hurriedly wanted to sit back in their cockpits, the marines in the personnel carrier ran out of the car in a panic and ran towards the fields on both sides of the road, and the soldiers of the vanguard who didn't know what happened stood in place and stupidly watched the "noble" heavenly soldiers running around as if they had stabbed a hornet's nest.
White had just finished in the cockpit when he saw a dense patch of light appear on the radar, which was flying towards the marching troops at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. White immediately switched his mech from hexapod walking mode to levitation mode, and his mech scurried forward like an arrow from a string to the ground.
"Bang!"
In the panic, White's walker collided with another walker, and the two mechs rolled around a few times before stopping, but the last chance to escape was lost. When he got back to his feet with the mech, hundreds of missiles flew in the distance with long white smoke and hit the marching party in the confusion.
"It's over. That was White's last thought, and then he heard a deafening explosion and a burning sensation. Then the body shook and fell into darkness.
The Marines are equipped with Pacer mechs and gun-armed transports that are lightly armoured, and the thin alloy armor is simply not able to stop anti-tank missiles that penetrate up to a depth of up to 1,000 millimeters. The high-temperature metal jet fired from the explosion of the cone-shaped charge inside the missile lightly penetrated the alloy armor, and then the remaining energy swept through the enclosed space. Shot the members inside into a sieve and set ablaze everything that could be burned.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
Hundreds of huge explosions rang out one after another, and one after another mecha or personnel carrier was hit by missiles, either blown into pieces, or turned into torches, and the marines or drivers who were lucky not to die in the explosion ran out of the car and mecha with a scream of fire, and then fell to the ground and rolled straight without running a few steps, and then the screams became weaker and weaker, and the people fell to the ground and did not move.
More than 100 A-10 attack planes flew into the battlefield from a distance and dispersed, and the A-10, nicknamed Warthog, also known as the flying tank, with 11 external hardpoints, is the backbone of the US military's air-to-ground attack force.
The Warthogs quickly assigned their targets under the command of the AWACS aircraft in the air, and the seven-barreled 30mm Gatling cannon on the left side under the nose buzzed, and the 30mm depleted uranium armor-piercing shells were easily used against lightly armored targets such as walkers and personnel carriers, and the walker mechs and personnel carriers that survived the first wave of missile attacks were destroyed in the face of the rain of bullets here, and then the warthogs pulled up their noses and flew over the battlefield, while dropping a bunch of aerial bombs, which either hit the walkers and personnel carriers, or fell on the side of the Marines in the fields。 Took the lives of a large number of Marines before swinging their wings and flying away.
The raid, which lasted just over a minute, inflicted heavy losses on the unsuspecting expeditionary force. Moreover, according to normal combat standards, the Marine Corps has anti-aircraft weapons, but because the enemies they have come into contact with before are all at the level of equipment of the end of the nineteenth century. There is not even a hot air balloon, let alone a flying machine that can fight, so this Marine Corps does not carry any air defense weapons at all, in order to save energy, greatly increase the combat time and reduce supplies, the radar and other detection equipment of the Walker mecha and personnel carriers are adjusted to the minimum power, and there is no time to react when danger is found, and the arrogant result makes this Marine Corps pay a heavy price.
The A-10 attack aircraft group had just disappeared, and under the cover of the AH-64 Apache gunship group, a large number of Carlos Forces nouvelles appeared on the edge of the battlefield. More than a hundred M1A1 tanks and more than three hundred M2A3 infantry fighting vehicles were fully loaded with infantry squads and formed battle formations.
Antti was floating in the air with a high-powered telescope to observe the situation on the ground battlefield at all times, her current mind was the same as Ouyang Yu, who was fighting fiercely in space, and she was not sure that she could fight the Yinghod Imperial Expeditionary Force, but judging from the surprise attack of the A-10 attack aircraft group, the enemy on the opposite side did not seem to be so difficult to deal with, but the ground battle had not yet started, and if Antti was still a little worried.
The advancing Carlos New Army soldiers are all natives on the home planet, American mercenaries or the U.S. military refuse to participate in the first battle, and they also have no bottom in their hearts to let the locals be cannon fodder to test the combat effectiveness of the ground forces of the expeditionary force, Antti can only agree depressedly except for a secret disdain, and a group of American officers in the hidden command post at the far side of the battlefield are also observing the battlefield with binoculars.
The first to fire was the Apache swarm, which fired Hellfire missiles at the remaining walker mechs. This kind of sonic flying missile is good for hitting tanks on the earth, but it has little effect on the speed and agility and the fire control system of the Walker mecha far beyond the earth tank, and the remaining more than 20 walkers spontaneously formed a commando type, an advanced battlefield transmission system and a full-power radar detection system. The incoming missiles were locked one by one and automatically assigned to each mech, and then the fire controller inside the mecha pressed the launch button according to the prompts, and the missile launch nest on the left side of the back of the walkers launched a series of missiles. Not only did most of the incoming anti-tank missiles be intercepted, but some of them even flew towards the Apache group.
The Apache fleet was caught off guard. The lockout warning in the cockpit sounded incessantly, and the pilots immediately controlled the aircraft to make various maneuvers and release infrared and radar jamming bombs.
However, the jamming technology on Earth is almost ineffective against the guidance technology of the Hod Empire. And it's a low-powered gunship, so the missiles fired by the Pacers completely ignore the jamming missiles and go straight to the group.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
Nearly half of the more than 40 Apache helicopter gunships were hit by one or two missiles, but none of them were destroyed in the exclamations of the US military observers in the rear, and there was no damage at all, this is because all the mobile equipment that came to the home planet from the earth was installed with a magic shield system, not only the Apache gunship, the A-10 that had just flown away, the M1A1 tank and the M2A3 infantry fighting vehicle that were advancing on the ground were all equipped with a magic shield system, which greatly enhanced the defense capability of these equipment, this is the first combination of science and magic, and the scientists on the earth in the rear and Ouyang Yu and the scientific researchers under Antti have installed the magic shield system, is discussing how to better integrate the technology of the two worlds, such as using the Earth's composite armor as the shell, equipped with a magic shield, using a hedron engine and a floating magic array inside, and a new fighter that can fire missiles and hedron beam cannons.
The millimeter-wave radar of the Apache helicopter gunship will transmit the size and speed of the incoming object to the on-board computer after discovering the object flying towards itself, and the computer will judge whether the object will cause damage to itself within a few tenths of a second, and if it will, it will automatically activate the magic shield to block the incoming object, if it is judged that it will not, it will not activate the magic shield, and rely on its own armor to defend, which can greatly save the energy of the magic shield and prolong the survival time of the equipment on the battlefield, which is also the crystallization of science and magic.
The Apache that was hit by the missile appeared a blue magic shield on the surface of the fuselage in a few tenths of a second before it was hit, and this color magic shield was naturally also from the magic shield technology of the captured elven warship, and the damage of the missile was completely blocked by the shield. Although the violent vibrations made the driver inside a little uncomfortable, it was not a problem at all. As long as you can hold on to your own life, a little shock is nothing.
"All the Apaches, shoot all the missiles and rockets together!" Antti in the air saw that the method against the Earth tank did not work. So he ordered to increase the density of firepower, so that the Apache group could shoot out all the ammunition at once to form a barrage of fire.
The Apache pilots on the Apache plane's short wings could carry eight Hellfire missiles and two nineteen-pack seventy-millimeter rocket launchers, and the Apache pilots who received Antti's order pressed the launch button to launch all the missiles and rockets in just a few seconds, while the 30-millimeter single-barreled chain gun under the nose also fired hundreds of shells, and the Apache fleet returned after running out of ammunition.
The barrage of more than 40 Apache helicopter gunships fired more than 200 missiles and more than 1,000 rockets in one go, covering the dodge space of the Walker mecha in all directions, and the pilots in the Pacer mecha could only desperately intercept the missiles and dodge, praying that they could survive this kind of rich and capricious attack.
The place where the walkers were was enveloped in the smoke of the explosion, and the nine walker mechs managed to dodge the call of death, rushing out of the smoke and continuing towards the armored cluster of the new army of Carlos. These drivers are so fearless of death not because they love the Hod Empire and are willing to sacrifice for this country, but because the Hod Empire's punishment for the escaped third-class citizen soldiers is very eye-catching, if they are caught, not only will they be shot, but the immediate relatives of the fleeing soldiers will also be affected, and the whole family will be reduced to slaves, and the surrendered soldiers will be treated as escaping, so the third-class citizens serving in the army will face such a difficult situation today if they do not have the order of a superior pure-blood or mixed-race Hord officer. will fight to the death for the sake of their families.
The M1 tank's sighting system was obviously unable to lock on to a walker with speeds of up to one or two hundred meters per hour, so Antti ordered the M2 Bradley to step forward and use intensive probabilistic fire in the same way that the Apache had just played.
"Tom tom tom...... Tom tom tom ......!"
The M242 "Viper" 25 mm chain cannon equipped with the M2 infantry vehicle can penetrate homogeneous steel armor at a distance of 1,000 meters using depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, which is now about 1,000 meters away from the charging Pacer mech. The 300 M2 infantry vehicles weaved a fire net with a medium rate of fire of 200 rounds per minute, and the more than 100 M1 Abrams tanks that retreated were not willing to be lonely and fired high-explosive grenades, making the last nine Pacer mechs unavoidable. They all fell helplessly on the way to the charge and were destroyed one by one.
The Pacers did not fail to fire back when they charged, but the magic shields on the M1 tanks and M2 infantry vehicles effectively blocked the missiles and electromagnetic shells fired at them. And all the tanks were infantry, and the drivers were told that they had to back off as soon as the shield turned red. Tanks or infantry vehicles with sufficient energy took their place, so only four M2 infantry vehicles were destroyed by concentrated fire.
The armored force of this expeditionary force was completely wiped out, and the remaining infantry was easy to solve, in addition to anti-aircraft weapons, they were also too cumbersome to carry anti-armor weapons, and could only use the electromagnetic rifles in their hands to shoot at the M1 tanks and M2 infantry vehicles that were getting closer and closer, and the invincible guns in the eyes of the vanguard soldiers shot out bullets with blue electric light, but they could not penetrate the armor of the two armored vehicles.
The front armor of the M1 tank and the M2 infantry tank can be immune to the bullets fired by the marines, and they have turned into ricochet bullets and are bounced away, and even the shells of the small-caliber electromagnetic cannon in the hands of the special marines who are responsible for fire support wearing power armor can also fly without relying on the magic shield, but the M2 infantry tank is not good, and the shells fired by the small-caliber electromagnetic cannon can pose a threat to the M2 infantry tank, so the body of the M2 infantry tank shines with a blue shield light, which slowly makes the M1 tank overtake.
The tank guns of the M1 tank and the machine guns of the M2 infantry tanks opened heavy fire on the recalcitrant Marines who refused to surrender, and the Marines had nowhere to retreat but to lie down in the bare fields and shoot in vain with their weapons.
When the two sides approached 400 meters, the back of the M2 infantry tank was opened, and the Carlos Imperial New Army soldiers who were fully equipped with American troops quickly got out of the car and launched a fierce fire with the enemy on the opposite side, the New Army soldiers hid behind the tank or infantry tank and shot calmly, the M16A4 assault rifle in their hands was very old-fashioned and fired three short bursts, and the hit rate with the optical sight on the rifle was still good, and the accurate and intensive shooting caused a large number of casualties among the marines on the opposite side.
Approaching 300 meters, the M1 tanks and M2 infantry of the new army of Carlos stopped and did not advance, but served as a point of fire and cover for the infantry.
The soldiers of the New Army hid behind the wide tanks and infantry vehicles to face the Marines who had nowhere to hide, one by one, and the poor combat uniforms and the worst defensive performance could not stop the 5.56 mm bullets fired from 300 meters away, and the desperate Marines had no choice but to use the corpses of their dead comrades to fend off the dense bullets, but in doing so, they usually received a 25 mm shell.
"Don't fight, we surrender!"
Finally, after most of the soldiers were killed, someone in the expeditionary force raised their weapons and shouted, and at the same time, the marines stopped resisting and knelt on the ground with the man and raised their weapons.
Although they couldn't understand what the other party was shouting, but kneeling on the ground with their weapons crossed in their hands, the soldiers of the new army still knew from their movements that the other party wanted to surrender, so the gunfire quickly stopped, but the soldiers did not relax their vigilance, and still aimed at each other with a scramble.
A pure-blooded Helder Marine officer with blue skin and a much better combat suit than the average Marine shudders as he walks up to an M1 tank and shouts again in Hodder, "We are willing to surrender!" (to be continued......
