Baptized by the Gauss weapons of the mechanical beetles, the US military's originally relatively solid defense line was penetrated almost instantly.
Many collapsed American troops fled backwards in a hurry, only to be killed by bullets fired from behind.
Seeing this situation, the tanks and helicopter gunships of the defending US troops immediately launched an attack to cover the retreat of their own people.
However, even tanks and armed helicopters still seemed so weak when facing the overwhelming mechanical beetles.
The armed helicopters flying in the sky were almost full of firepower. Missiles, rockets and cannons kept shooting at the gray-black carpet composed of mechanical beetles on the ground. Although they could blow up a gap from time to time, it would be filled up in an instant.
.
Although the defense of the armed helicopter is not weak, it is meaningless in front of the astonishing number of mechanical beetles.
Several armed helicopters were turned into honeycombs by Gauss weapons almost instantly and exploded in the air. The tanks were not much better. The outer reactive armor was blown up first, followed by the armor.
Of course, the tank's armor has stronger defense than that of an armed helicopter, so it managed to survive for a short period of time under the attack of the mechanical beetle's Gaussian weapon.
But the dense attacks, literally like raindrops, still hit the tank armor at a speed visible to the naked eye until the metal fatigued, lost hardness and toughness, and was quickly torn into pieces.
Such a scene is extremely impactful to the US military. In other words, no one has ever seen a tank exploded like this.
Normally, destroying a tank is nothing more than an armor-piercing bullet penetrating the armor from the front, or a rocket attacking the top, but such an attack that relies on a rain of bullets to knock out the metal fatigue of the tank armor and then tear the entire tank into pieces is really too much.
It's so incredible.
This also caused the morale of the US military stationed at the scientific research center to almost collapse.
If their weapons hadn't been able to damage the mechanical beetles, and the heavy machine gun fire could have stopped the mechanical beetles' offensive, I'm afraid the U.S. military stationed at this moment would have completely collapsed.
After all, they are just ordinary human soldiers, not the Krieg Death Group. They can still charge bravely in the face of a swarm of mechanical insects that can drown everything.
Fortunately, at this moment, the ground troops who came for reinforcements finally felt it in time and joined the battlefield from the flank and launched an attack on the mechanical insect swarm. This helped to share some of the pressure, and then the defenders of the scientific research center
Not overwhelmed by the swarm of mechanical bugs.
However, even so, the arrival of this reinforcement force did not improve the situation, it just delayed the offensive of the mechanical insect swarm.
————————————
"Damn it, where is our air force? I need fire reinforcements!" In the command room, the officer in charge was yelling into the phone: "Those bugs are everywhere! We can't hold on any longer! Where are the reinforcements?"
"
"Our air force has been intercepted! Hold on, soldier! New reinforcements are already on the way!" The generals' voices came from the phone. Although it was said that reinforcements were on the way, the news that the air force was intercepted still made the officers
My heart went cold.
He didn't say anything else, just said into the phone: "My people can hold on for half an hour at most, or the door of the scientific research center will be breached in fifteen minutes. If there are no reinforcements, there is only so much we can do."
Already."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
————————————
At this time, the generals on the other end of the phone also felt very anxious.
"Where did those mechanical monsters come from the Air Force? Are our radars just decorations? We didn't detect them? A squadron of F22s were shot down by the enemy like targets. This is simply a shame!" A general of the Air Force said fiercely.
He dropped the pencil in his hand on the map and loudly vented his dissatisfaction.
However, another navy general shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. We must send new reinforcements and cannot sit back and watch the research center be breached."
"But the nearest troops are 70 kilometers away. Even if they are reinforced, they will not be able to arrive in time." The army general pointed out the troops that could be mobilized recently, but the water from far away could not quench the thirst for near.
However, he still looked at the general of the Air Force and asked him: "Where are the second batch of reinforcements from the Air Force? Have they encountered the enemy?"
"Not yet. They still have about five minutes to arrive on the battlefield." The Air Force general looked up at the electronic map displayed in real time on the big screen in front. While explaining to others, he did not forget to add: "Already reminded
They are careful about the enemy, and there are early warning aircraft among these reinforcements, and the ground radar has been turned on, so there should be no problem."
When the other two generals heard what he said, they could only nod and chose to believe it.
But even so, the reinforcements are still not enough.
So the army general thought for a while and said: "Should we authorize the scientific research center to use large combat mechas? If we enable that, it should buy them some time."
"But that is just an experimental project. Although it has been tested in actual combat, no one knows how effective it will actually be." The Navy general expressed objections to this. He tapped the map and pointedly pointed out: "And now the scientific research center
Everyone has retreated into the dugout, and only the boys are still resisting the Terminator's attack. Who do you want to activate the big guy?"
"There is always a way. We have two transport planes filled with seals approaching the scientific research center. They are flying very high so they are not attacked. We can have paratroopers parachute into the scientific research center from high altitudes, and then activate the large combat mechs.
, to provide support to the young men who are still holding on." The Air Force general revealed a trump card.
This should have been the first reinforcement to be deployed on the battlefield, but because the squadron was attacked, the transport aircraft rose to high altitudes, so the SEALs have not yet entered the battlefield.
The generals of the navy and army looked at each other, hesitated and then agreed to the plan.
And they also conveyed the plan to the scientific research center, hoping that they could send staff to assist the SEALs in launching large combat mechas to provide support for the battlefield.
Although in their opinion this is just delaying time to wait for more reinforcements to arrive, at this point, it can only be of any use.
And it's not like they didn't hold out hope that the large combat mecha would be able to exert combat effectiveness that they didn't expect and could change the situation of this war.
However, every word they said was transmitted back to the Terminator base by the eavesdropping mechanical mosquito, and was heard clearly by the Governor and Chen Mo.
