In fact, Sommer was not willing to fly Cerberus when he was serving in the military, because in order to achieve the best combat effect, Cerberus modified the original crew compartment of the Chimera into a box for loading promethium, which solved the problem of combat
Issues with the endurance ammo of Cannon in Hell.
Although the ammunition problem has been solved, the large amount of promethium contained in the Cerberus also makes it an excellent target for enemy attacks, because just one bullet fired into the promethium can turn the entire Cerberus into a ball.
A bright and hot fireball, taking away all the occupants inside.
Even though Cerberus would put additional armor on the box containing promethium, it still took Sommer several years to overcome his fear of being burned to a crisp at any time.
In addition, the Cerberus is also equipped with a heavy explosive bomb on the hull, which can kill approaching enemies.
Compared with the Chimera, the Cerberus not only has superior performance in firepower, but also has thicker armor and a larger engine. Its crew number has also been reduced to 4 people, namely the commander, driver, main gunner, and assistant.
gunner.
"Go back to your post."
Above the garage, the assembly signal sounded, the lights began to flash, shrouding everything in a twilight yellow, and groups of armored vehicles closed their hatches one after another.
Sommer climbed to the roof hatch and climbed in. The other crew members were already inside, conducting routine checks on equipment.
He reached out to close the hatch, but suddenly stopped.
The commander looked at the ceiling in front of him. The war machine was waiting under the flashing lights and piercing horns. The armor closest to the gate had started its engine, the tracks began to rumble together, and exhaust gas overflowed from the exhaust pipe.
.
Sommer looked at it for a while and didn't understand why he did this. He didn't close the hatch until the warning light on the outer door turned green.
The cold metal once again became his whole world.
"Set off."
At Sommer's instruction, the driver started the engine, and the Cerberus's tracks began to crawl slowly.
Soon, they left the field garage and arrived at the vast assembly area outside.
Hundreds - no, thousands - of armor filled the staging area, and Sommer saw a Salamander reconnaissance vehicle, another Chimera variant, a Buffalo troop carrier, and several others.
An armor model that cannot be named.
Most of the armor was painted with the insignia of their respective regiments, and the sound of engines, shouted orders, and the sound of metal colliding formed a wave that filled Sommer's ears.
Further outside the armored assembly site, there is an endless group of infantry. They stand in the dust and dust, waiting for the next order.
Boom boom boom————!
Suddenly, the roar and flash of explosions came from the distance, and Sommer realized what the light meant. The artillery was projecting the power they controlled to the area where the aliens gathered with a force beyond his imagination.
Thinking about it, these artillery fires are enough to tear apart thousands of aliens. Maybe what they have to do is just crush the remaining ones——
At least that's what Sommer prayed.
Armageddon's main armored corps sent coordinates to the fleet in orbit before attacking, and then the warships high in orbit lowered flames from the sky.
The fire rolled through the remains of the building, setting off a series of small cyclones that hungrily engulfed rock and steel.
Immediately after the orbital bombardment stopped, the long-range artillery began to roar, and the hammer blows of the heavy artillery blasted everything that was still burning into rubble. The firelight illuminated the smoke into blood-red and pus-yellow flakes.
Afterwards, troops from Invernas Nest and Acheron Nest began to advance along a front of hundreds of kilometers.
To the north of the attackers were mountains, their peaks shrouded in thick fog. To the south of the attackers, the swamps covered with solidified mud were like a black mirror.
At the front of the infantry wave, the armor came in groups, like a wave of steel.
The green skin's landing area was covered with fragments that disintegrated during the fall. They were pieces of metal with shells, some of which were taller than a two-story building.
But under the tracks of the torrent of armor, all the rubble turned into powder.
On one attack surface alone, there were more than a thousand armored vehicles of various types and hundreds of thousands of infantry. The campaign organizers mobilized more than five million mobile troops in a short period of time, making great determination to end those aliens.
Cannons of different calibers protruded from the armored hull and turret, and bulldozers pushed the rubble to both sides like fresh snow, passing through a maze composed of a large number of metal fragments.
Each armored vehicle's auspicious device was scanning, searching for their enemies.
The gravel hit the shell like dust, and as it gradually penetrated deeper, they still found nothing.
Signals passed between the advancing machines: Did anyone see anything? Why were there no aliens? Perhaps the bombing had destroyed the enemy?
The 17th Acheron Reconnaissance Company was advancing rapidly as the spearhead of the first wave of attacks. Their company included twelve Salamander reconnaissance vehicles painted in coal black. After advancing for five kilometers, they became this
The first casualties of the battle.
In fact, they could already see the towering keel of the World Killer, which was only twenty kilometers away from the crash site.
But strips of green light shot from the ruins to the side of the reconnaissance column. The illumination beam touched the body of a Salamander and pierced directly into its heart.
The next second, the armored vehicle disappeared, its shell exploding into a cloud of smoke, like playing cards.
Then more green beams flashed and another one disappeared.
Signals of heat and energy beams began to flash on the auspicious screens of the advancing Salamander reconnaissance vehicles. In panic, they began to fire blindly, firing projectiles into the ground in front of them.
The defenders no longer took cover and attacked one after another, and more artillery fire was fired from the ruins.
Like a huge boulder falling on a calm lake, from north to south, defenders emerged from preset ambush locations. In an instant, hundreds of armored pieces died, their hulls pierced by explosions or
It's broken.
More defenders emerged from the maze of debris, killing each other.
In the swamps of the south, walking machines several people tall emerged from the mire. They had barrel-shaped shells and rough limbs, and walked crookedly across the battlefield. However, it would be a big mistake to ignore them for this reason.
Very wrong.
Flames shoot out from their weapon-mounted arms, and the spinning chainsaws on their arms can split open the shell of an armored vehicle, killing its occupants.
At this moment, the attackers' advance seemed to stop, and then the second wave of attackers passed the first wave.
But even so, after advancing to the predetermined distance, the infantry began to charge according to the original plan. They died in the fire, their bodies were blown into pieces of flesh and blood, and they died between two heartbeats, with the sound still ringing in their ears.
The roar of shell impact.
But there are more enemies.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!
Amidst the heart-rending roar, the ocean-like green tide surrounded the human attacking spearhead from three directions. They escaped the orbital bombing and are now eager for revenge!
