Chapter 119 Invasion of Tran Empire (1)
The code-named "Alien World" base opposite Longmen No. 4 of the Terran Empire
It was another night when it was supposed to be a night where you couldn't see your fingers, but the entire base was brightly lit and ready to face. Countless flares were floating in the sky, illuminating this area like daytime, and countless high-power searchlights shone huge columns of light on the position of the gantry above the huge "crater". Countless soldiers in the anti-tank trench in the distance were holding various weapons and staring here vigilantly. You could also hear the roar of patrolling fighter propellers in the sky.
The base commander Lieutenant General Tyrone patrolled the frontier again, which was his habit. He came to inspect the troops at night. Walking in the anti-tank trenches and looking at the solid defense line, the Lieutenant General couldn't help but remember the miserable situation of the Chinese army invading a week ago. However, because of that battle, the wreckage of Chinese tanks seized at the scene and the bodies of several burnt Chinese soldiers gave the entire Imperial Army a shot of stimulant in the haze of continuous failures. The Chinese army is not invulnerable and invincible, and as long as the firepower is sufficient, it can be destroyed.
The imperial propaganda machine in the rear also started to drive full power, proclaiming "...The Chinese army was defeated, dozens of tanks were destroyed, hundreds of officers and soldiers were killed, the remaining enemy troops were defeated, and fled back to another world in a hurry. In the burned corpse, a person suspected of being a general of the other party was found. He was wrapped in red cloth when he died. He was captured by our army before he could take it away. He should be an important figure..."
Of course, publicity is enough to listen to publicity. What really makes the officers and soldiers here feel relieved is that the Chinese do not have the ability to open the door, and they can still rely on birdmen to open the door. This is the conclusion drawn by Earl Von Thomas through various intelligences and is convinced by most generals.
So those Chinese people are so entangled in the return of the Asians and Birdmen. Otherwise, they should be prepared directly and attack the other side of the door in one fell swoop. They have this ability, but they are worried that the other party will use the Birdmen to close the door and throw themselves into the mouse and hope to rejudge the situation through negotiations to make plans, and it is best to hope to defeat the enemy without fighting. Therefore, after seizing the Birdmen, given that the Imperial Army no longer has the ability to open the door, they probably will not come to waste time, energy and money again.
However, General Taylon is a little hopeful that the Chinese can come over, so that they will see 200 105mm artillery, 50 fighter jets and 10 bombers. At the same time, the firepower brought by the attack here is covered. And on the mountain behind the gate, there is also an ambush on the mountain. As a fire observation post, it is also equipped with a large number of rockets as guidance and auxiliary firepower. All of these firepower has the power to flatten the mountain in this area. As a soldier, it is a force to flatten the mountain.
, I still hope to wash away the shame of defeat with a victory, especially to let the Chinese know the power of the Tran Empire. Even if they braved the artillery fire of long-range fire, there were 2 kilometers of anti-tank trenches, barbed wire and various anti-tank guns in front of them. In order to build these anti-tank trenches, they let more than 10 strong submen die of exhaustion on the construction site. The gate is located halfway up the mountain, and if you want to go down the mountain, you can only go through this road unless the enemy intends to fly down.
But General Taylon didn't know that on the other side of the gate, the attacking troops were ready to go.
Near the huge pyramid-like building in front of Gantry No. 4.
The entire area of the gate was covered with a circle of canvas around it, and everything inside could not be seen from the outside. As the vanguard of this operation, the 87th Brigade Tank Battalion was waiting for the order outside this layer of canvas. This made the battalion commander Li Yuexiang very unhappy - obviously, the superiors had to use those "confidential" things again before they could keep them confidential.
120 bird people were placed in tents on both sides of the gate, wearing comfortable Chinese-made clothes (built-in various parameter collection equipment), sitting on the comfortable sofa, unfinished. On the coffee table next to the sofa were placed various exquisite snacks, fruits, snacks, handheld machines, etc., and there was a screen on the front of the tent. There were also two rows of waiters outside the tent, and services were provided at any time. Among them, 100 people were responsible for opening the door, and the other 20 were rotated.
In the ancient Romanesque building of Longmen No. 4, a modified PHL03 rocket launcher from the Chinese army is aiming its 12 launch ports at the place where the gate is about to be opened, and everything is ready. The front of the car is almost over the gate, and there is not a single person in the car. The control part has been installed with a remote controller to operate the launch through remote control.
Wu Ruifeng, the commander of the 87th Brigade, stood at the command center in the distance, watching everything be ready, and issued an order:
"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
The order was issued to the birdmen at the same time through the Asian liaison team leader Zhao Chen and the 87th Brigade Chief of Staff Tang Kai.
The birdmen who received the order emitted a glimmer of light and collectively began to use magic.
Then, a flashing aperture edge flashed immediately inside the black hole gate, forming a larger semicircular outline at the black hole gate, and the center of the outline was still painted black.
"The door has been opened!" The birdman who was observing at the door reported immediately.
Wu Ruifeng, who received the report, immediately pressed the button in his hand as the beginning of the battle.
With the flames ejected from the back of the launch vehicle, the phl03 rocket launcher immediately launched the 12 rockets it carried one after another towards the opposite side of the gate.
The Tran Empire Army on the other side of the gate was also ready for battle. When they saw a golden ring in the air, the outpost responsible for observation had already started to scream and immediately sent out a signal, but it was still half a beat late. The moment the gate opened, they saw 12 rockets dragging long tails inside the gate rushed out one by one.
"Fire the gun, fire immediately, the enemy attacks." Lieutenant General Tyrone shouted the order, and suddenly picked up the signal gun and aimed at the sky to fire. A red signal flare immediately bloomed in mid-air. At the same time, the 37mm anti-tank gun on the front line of the anti-tank trench immediately started to fire with direct fire, aiming at the direction of the opening of the gate. The officers and soldiers around him did not care whether the effective range of the guns they had on hand was enough, and they opened fire randomly at the gate.
In less than a minute, the earth began to tremble, and the sky was covered with a brilliant rain of light. The scene of two artillery brigades of the Tran Empire Army and 200 cannons firing at the same time was as spectacular as picturesque against the backdrop of countless flares in the sky.
A huge explosion rang out at the door opening of Gantry No. 4, blowing everything here into powder and drifting with the wind.
At the same time, 12 rockets flying out of the gantry gate were also opposite the gate, and the Tran Empire anti-tank position, which was considered a safe area, exploded evenly over the Tran Empire anti-tank position.
These rockets are not ordinary rockets, but rockets with heat-pressurized missile warheads. After smashing into the two-kilometer anti-tank position of the Tran Empire Army, the huge explosive force immediately showed its power, destroying various obstacles and fire points on the surface, and at the same time the high temperature generated burned the air out.
The officers and soldiers hiding in the trench thought that the trench would save their lives in the face of enemy shelling, but soon they found out that they were wrong. Everyone opened their mouths wide, pressed their necks with their hands, their eyes were about to be concave, and they made a desperate sound in pain, and then fell into the trench, together with Lieutenant General Tyrone, the commander-in-chief here, became a victim of this weapon they had never seen before.
The fierce bombardment at the gate continued, the artillery bombardment had not stopped, and the air strikes had also arrived. The pilots who were eager to revenge in the Imperial Army dropped bombs from the air without waiting for the artillery fire below to disperse. Although with their current technical level and the accuracy of bomb dropping at night was worthy of negotiation, most of the bombs were successfully dropped to designated locations and launched a more violent explosion. The pilots looked at the huge explosions that almost dyed the sky red below, and had reason to believe that even the armored warships should be bombed and disintegrated under this firepower.
However, the ever-stop explosion on the ground and the smoke of gunpowder completely blocked the location of the gate. The artillery observation post at the top of the mountain behind the gantry gate could not see the situation below at all. The observation post on the front line was now affected by the warm-pressure bombs, and there was no living person.
Now the air force and artillery of the Tran Empire are blindly pouring out their firepower according to the plan. Moreover, due to the accidental death of the commander Lieutenant General Tyrone and the annihilation of the frontier observation post, the artillery and the air force have no guidance and no orders. Therefore, after the designated ammunition base was eliminated, people were sent to contact the command and frontier, and at the same time, for safety reasons, they continued to fire a base of ammunition - anyway, the ammunition here was piled up like a mountain.
However, they did not notice at all that Gantry No. 4 - had been closed for a long time.
On the other side of Gantry No. 4, the PHL03 rocket launcher that escaped by chance was slowly removed. An explosion-proof team carefully took out an unexploded 37mm anti-tank gun shell from the cockpit, placed it in a jar, and then took it away from a distance to detonate.
"It's okay, it's a little smaller than the loss I imagined, and it's more useful to repair it!" Wu Ruifeng said with a smile as he looked at the front of the car being burned and damaged by shock waves, and the completely broken glass. Several soldiers hurriedly drove over in the trailer and towed the bicycle car away.
The Chinese army still has plenty of time to prepare for the next stage of operation - anyway, it is estimated that the shelling on the opposite side will not stop for a while.
The gate started to get busy again and was redeployed. A truck also drove over with huge objects covered with canvas, and the surroundings were replaced by magic infantrymen wearing exoskeleton mechas.
The canvas was lifted, and the huge magic stone carrying the "ship girl" Li Shihan was exposed.
"I've known that you guys are anti-human, but I didn't expect that they all have to be so rebellious." Looking at the beauty who was "closed" by the magic stone, political commissar Zhou Chongyan showed an incredible look on his face and said to Wang Zhongguo, the commander of the magic infantry.
Before he finished speaking, a glimmer of light shone in front of him. Li Shihan's three-dimensional image appeared in the glimmer of light, standing in front of the two of them, saluting.
"Hello, Chief! Li Shihan, captain of the Special Exploration Brigade of the Military Region, was ordered to report, please give me instructions!"
"Understand your mission!" Wang Zhongguo asked, and glanced at Zhou Chongyan in surprise.
"Yes, use the magic stone to hold the cannon and observe the situation on the other side of the gate. Once the fire gap occurs, immediately make way for the infiltration troops to infiltrate." Li Shihan replied seriously.
"Go to the designated location now and standby!"
"Yes!" After Li Shihan finished speaking, the huge magic stone carrying the body was floating in the air behind her and flew towards the direction of the gate. Behind her, 10 magic infantry soldiers wearing exoskeleton mecha led by Zhao Yi surrounded a tank suspended in the air and walked forward.
If you look closely, you will find that they are not wearing exoskeleton mechas worn by other magic infantrymen, but the "regular powered exoskeleton mechas" worn at the "Future Weapons Exhibition" in Beijing that used suspension technology and energy supply technology from the wasteland world. The code name of China is the second generation of the "Celestial Soldier System".
Although the original purpose was to fool the Americans, this exoskeleton mecha and suspended tank also passed various basic tests. Even after returning to Taoyuan Star, the laboratory under the jurisdiction of the army was still cooperated with Professor Shadina's "cutting technology laboratory" to continue to carry out relevant tests and improvements - although the main prototypes such as propulsion devices and power devices cannot be copied at all, because they found a way to charge rechargeable batteries from the wasteland, those limited batteries can be used repeatedly.
The Army is very optimistic about the test here, which can provide a lot of data for the experiment of exoskeleton mechas, and can also provide test data for the next generation of magic infantry to use exoskeleton armor. Sooner or later, the army troops will also have their own exoskeleton mechas without relying on magic infantry. The current "Celestial Soldier System" looks the same as the full coverage mechas of magic infantry, but the battery power is limited and it can only be maintained for about 6 hours. However, this number is quite exaggerated to the current energy supply level of humans.
Specifically for this operation, strictly speaking, it is only one difficulty to occupy the enemy base on the opposite side - to complete the leveling of the ground and the deployment of troops under the enemy's firepower. Once the troops here pass and unfold, the enemy on the opposite side will not be afraid. For this reason, it is necessary to destroy the enemy's artillery positions and air forces first and suppress the adjacent ground forces. The restrictions on the gate make it difficult for traditional air forces and military personnel to move.
The General Staff needs to fly without terrain restrictions, with small size, rapid expansion, good maneuver power, strong firepower, and certain protection and adaptability. So Chu Longcheng, who was worried about occupying the enemy's positions on the opposite side, suddenly thought of these "special equipment" from the Wasteland World equipment, which definitely meets the above requirements. Moreover, they also have a group of magic infantry experienced in using exoskeleton mechas to use it. In conjunction with a set of special AI auxiliary programs developed by Professor Shadina, these exoskeleton mechas even have the function of automatically avoiding enemy firepower and searching for enemy targets. Although magic cannot be used in the Terran Empire, the Gauss rifles brought back from the Wasteland World actually have more powerful and lasting firepower than magic rifles, and there is still a lot of ammunition left, which is enough for them to use.
After the report was put up, Secretary Zhong Xinwu also had repeated ideological struggles. After all, except for the compressed rations with a shelf life of 400 years, none of them can be reversely copied. That is to say, everything is unique. If there is a misfortune to losses, it will be permanent. However, after repeated thinking, I finally thought that I have so many birds on hand anyway. At worst, after we return to Hezhou, we will ask them to open the door again and go to the wasteland world to "pick up garbage" again.
The huge magic stone has landed in a circle at the gate. The lower half of the magic stone has been trapped on the ground. She will serve as a "shield" on the front, and the magic infantry are standing behind the magic stone waiting. The others have evacuated.
"Open the door!" Wu Ruifeng ordered again.
The door opened again, and the moment it opened, a huge explosion sound came from the other side. The heat wave, shock wave and the smoke mixed with explosion shrapnel and earth-rocking were pouring out of the door, hitting the magic stone head-on, and then scattered in the air.
"The enemy's firepower coverage has not stopped yet." Zhao Yi reported to the rear slowly - anyway, the hardness of the magic stone, China used all means including lasers, and it was impossible to hurt it at all. The gunfire on the opposite side was pediatrics. However, later Li Shihan tried to project his own three-dimensional image on the opposite side, and eventually ended in failure, which once again confirmed that the magic could not be used on the opposite side...
I don’t know how long it took, but the smoke on the opposite side was still filled with gunpowder, but the shock wave gradually turned into a breeze, the fire and high temperature gradually disappeared, and the huge explosions were already sparse, as if they would stop soon.
"It's now, let's go!" Zhao Yi gave the order decisively.
The huge magic stone blocking the gate suddenly jumped up and moved the gate away. The floating tank driven by Lieutenant Ren and Second Lieutenant rushed over like lightning. Ten magic infantry followed closely behind, activated the suspension equipment on their bodies, and flew out. Several cement trucks filled with quick-drying cement behind them quickly drove over, and then began to pour fast-drying cement downwards one by one.
The surrounding canvas began to be dismantled, and the tank battalion finally received the order to advance. Of course, the special operations company was the leader.
The other side of the gate was still filled with gunpowder, and it was difficult for people and ghosts to distinguish within 5 meters. The air was filled with explosions and gunpowder. The crazy explosion was well matched with the temperature-pressure bomb to minimize the oxygen content of the air here. Fortunately, the magic infantry who prepared in advance all installed independent oxygen supply equipment and air filter equipment. Although the time for oxygen supply equipment was limited, it could only last for about 20 minutes.
"There is a mountain behind the gate. If I were the enemy commander, I would set up an artillery observation post here. Wu Haoran, you go up and get rid of that observation post, and then kill the enemy's reconnaissance plane. The remaining people will divide the troops into two groups according to the plan. I will destroy the enemy's artillery position. Xia Xi will take people to destroy the enemy's airport and act!" Zhao Yi ordered decisively.
Captain Wu Haoran immediately jumped up and flew over the undissipated smoke. He flew over at high speed in front of the observation post of the Tran Empire Army near the top of the mountain.
The soldiers at the observation post were still carefully observing the situation below. Unexpectedly, such a robotic weapon suddenly popped up, they were all frightened and stood there in a daze. Looking at the thing like a robot in the air, before they could react, the Gauss rifle in Wu Haoran opened fire first.
The space on the top of the mountain was not large, only one platoon of soldiers was stationed here, two high-speed bullets of Gauss rifles were shot, and there was only a mess left on the top of the mountain like a typhoon ravaging. Then the captain raised his height again and flew towards the enemy planes hovering in the sky.
Before the sky was bright, the reconnaissance aircraft of the Tran Empire were carefully hovering in this area, and using some flares to observe the situation below. The Tran Empire Army, which was not equipped with airborne radar and night vision systems, still had to use the most primitive means to observe.
The explosion at the top of the mountain first surprised the pilot, but before he could report it, a human-shaped object erupting blue flames rushed to the back side of him in an instant, and then a flash of lightning flashed, and the plane and the pilot fell down in a part-shaped shape.
Wu Haoran was floating in mid-air, and his Gauss rifle was aimed at another reconnaissance aircraft in the air again. With the night vision device, he could easily see the opponent's position. Even if the bullets flying at high speed did not have to hit the target, the airflow impact brought by the opponent would not give the opponent any chance to dodge. This was just a training for him to hit the mobile target.
After shooting down two enemy planes, Wu Haoran continued to raise his height, then followed by the observation of the night vision device, acting as a reconnaissance aircraft from the air, and directly informed Zhao Yi and others of the positions of the enemy who were not controlled by lights.
The falling reconnaissance plane did not have any impact on the high-speed moving troops below. The flight speed of this exoskeleton mecha can reach up to 150 meters per second. The assault team quickly broke through the barrage and rushed towards the depths of the Tran Empire Army along the sky above the anti-tank trench that had long been gone.
Zhao Yi looked at the trench below. With the night vision device, he could see the corpses lying down there. Unlike the broken limbs and arms destroyed by fire, there were no obvious external injuries on the corpses, but their faces were twisted and their bodies were curled up. The faces showed a look of fear and despair at the last moment.
"The brothers of the 87th Brigade are also very interesting!" Zhao Yi had no intention of sympathizing with the enemy below. At least, letting them lie here quietly is much better than letting their various weapons shoot wildly at the air - although their mechas are bulletproof, it is not a joke if they hit the propulsion system and the suspension system.
It was not until they flew through this "death zone" that the Tland Imperial Army deployed behind were discovered and hurriedly reported to their superiors, but it was too late. The high-speed flying force had already penetrated into their depth, especially Zhao Yi's squad, surrounded Ren and the floating tank, and rushed towards the artillery position of the Tland Imperial Army. Due to the speed, the Tland Imperial Army who discovered them had not had time to shoot and stop them, so they all flew over.
The long-range firepower system carefully deployed by the Terran Empire was completely obvious to the Chinese. With the terrain information mastered by the Asians, the General Staff had already made a preliminary prediction of the deployment of the enemy's artillery positions. With Wu Haoran's observation, Zhao Yi and others were very clear about the locations of the enemy's two artillery positions.
The artillery position commander of the Tran Empire looked helpless after receiving the report from the front line. If the enemy was already in his own depth, then their artillery would not have any effect at all, unless the firepower covered his own people, and if the enemy was so fast, all he could blow up was his own people. However, before they had time to react, Zhao Yi's attack team arrived.
Then the night cover and the use of night vision instruments, strictly speaking, they didn't need to aim at it. Cooperating with the roar of the suspended tank electromagnetic cannon, the projectiles of the five Gauss rifles continued to hit the enemy's artillery positions in the shortest time, breaking the personnel and equipment together. In less than a minute, they fired more than 200 projectiles. A brigade of artillery deployed by the Tran Empire here was destroyed. The surviving artillery soldiers had long forgotten to resist and fled in a hurry when they looked at these incomprehensible "monsters" flying at low altitudes.
After confirming that the enemy's artillery position had been completely destroyed, Zhao Yi's squad rushed towards the enemy's next artillery brigade's position...
Outside the base, Tran Imperial Army Airport
The entire airport's command system was also in chaos. In fact, it was not just the airport. The command system of the Tran Empire was now at a loss due to the chaos of intelligence. It was not because of General Taylon's death. It was because of the death of General Tyrone. It was all kinds of things like "flying robots", "high-speed and low-altitude maneuvering flight", "tanks floating in the air" and other things that were not understood without seeing with their own eyes have already penetrated into the depths of the Imperial Army from the air and began to destroy the long-range firepower of the Imperial Army. All the Imperial Army in the two-kilometer defense line of the anti-tank trench have been wiped out, and none of them have survived, which is enough to be shocking. The investigators were very puzzled by the victims who had no external injuries in this area. The influx of these complex intelligence made them mess up.
However, the airport commander decided to let all the planes take off just in case, although most of their pilots lack night combat training.
But before the plane took off, I saw several objects like fireflies flying over low altitude and quickly flew near the airport. Then the powerful Gauss rifle projectile swept across, first knocking out the air defense position near the airport, and then shooting wildly at the airport...
When the Chinese magic infantry left and began to fly into the air to snipe the enemy planes that could not see their opponents in the dark, the entire airport was like the surface of the moon, with bumpy bullet craters everywhere. All 32 planes that had not yet taken off were destroyed on the ground, towers, hangars, ammunition depots, and oil depots were completely destroyed, and personnel losses could not be calculated...
The first ray of sunshine is about to pass by, shining near Longmen No. 4, illuminating this spectacular "shooting range" last night.
The smoke from Longmen No. 4 has dissipated, and the cement on the ground has filled the original large pits and more craters created by shelling. The engineers have begun to level the ground here, clear roadblocks, clean up the battlefield, and guide the s400 surface-to-air missile system behind to enter now.
In the anti-tank trench in front of them, it was no longer the Tran Empire Army, but the special operations company of the 87th Brigade. There were also several gunshots occasionally. They were searching and occupying the anti-tank trench built by the enemy to ensure safety in the rear. They encountered the reconnaissance personnel of the Tran Empire.
Several 4-rotor drones began to hover over the entire area, reconnaissing the movements of the remnants of the Tland Imperial Army from a high altitude. Ten exoskeleton mechas and the floating tank had returned, docked next to the gate, waiting for the next order - once the drones discovered that the enemy had threatening movements, they would rush over and bomb the enemy as quickly as possible. Although the total number of projectiles they fired in one night had reached more than 800. Moreover, given that the bullets brought from the wasteland world could not be copied at all, there were only 7,000 rounds in total, and 200 rounds were fired when they fooled people in Beijing before, their consumption was definitely a waste, enough to annoy the superiors.
A command car drove out of the gantry and parked on the concrete floor beside the gantry.
Wu Ruifeng pushed open the car door, walked down, walked forward a few steps, stepped onto the "land" land of the Tran Empire, breathing the smell of gunpowder that had not yet dissipated in the air, and said with emotion:
"We have conquered one world and came to the second world again. This can be regarded as an unprecedented feat."
"Pay attention to your words!" Political Commissar Zhou Chongyan also walked down and said righteously: "We are here to 'liberate' the people of the Tran Empire, especially their oppressed 'minorities', which is our duty."
Chapter completed!
