Chapter 814 The Loyal Predator

The sand people counted on the Marauder warships to serve as their air cover, but this was not an easy task.In fact, when the three swaggering warships were about to cross the rugged mountain range, dense artillery fire and anti-aircraft missiles roared towards them.

During the period when Qiu Mingshan Hachiman was in charge of the defense work of Xinyumen, the traffic nodes and military key points were re-planned, and concealed fire positions were set up in these places.There is no way, there is no way to send a fleet to support the mainland, so they can only support the equipment as much as possible.Anyway, compared to battleships, the equipment that can be placed in the atmosphere is really not that much.

With so many cannons of various types in hand, it would be a bit embarrassing if I didn't find a place to put them.

At the same time, due to the terrain of Xinyumen, there are hills and caves in the northern foothills of Mount Kiriro, so it is possible to hide some firepower points.

However, Yawata is also a serious and talented student in the Department of Strategic Studies, so he is not stupid enough to deploy all the firepower near the city of Tulong.He felt that instead of turning the city into a hedgehog, it would be better to spread the firepower and turn the entire plain at the northern foot of the mountain range into a part of the defense system.

Now, the Marauder warship swaggered into this circle of firepower.Ordinary soldiers were indeed overwhelmed by the huge ship that looked like a steel mountain, but after careful consideration, such a big thing stuck in the sky seemed to be more triumphant than any target they had seen in shooting training before.It seems that I feel a little sorry for him if I don't set up a fire.

In an instant, the sky near Mount Kililuo was covered by brilliant fire.Behind the thick clouds, there are always gorgeous flashes and rolling thunder.At that moment, if there were sand people near the mountain who happened to see this scene, they would probably think that there were gods fighting on the top of the mountain.

"I've said it before. Our kind of ship is a target when it enters the atmosphere." Dr. Warren said to Superintendent Sazaka.

"But even if it's a target, it's still an indestructible target." The troll general opened his mouth, not caring, and ordered the ships to break through to the north of the ridge despite the artillery fire.

The Predator battleship just opened its shield and continued to advance against the dense artillery fire.That scene was very similar to those ancient Roman soldiers in armor and carrying tower shields in the cold weapon era, lining up an impenetrable tortoise formation, braving the enemy's arrow rain and constantly advancing.

There is one thing to say, the shields used on armed merchant ships are quite resistant to anti-aircraft artillery fire in the atmosphere.The three Marauder warships just crossed the foothills and began to try to return fire with the self-defense firepower on board.

However, as the troll general himself said, none of his ship’s mass is used for ground attack. To put it bluntly, the turrets on both sides of the ship are all rapid-fire turrets for space air defense. It's really unprofessional to shoot at people's firepower.So, after a burst of fierce but far from professional embarrassing shots, the anti-aircraft firepower on the opposite side not only did not weaken, but became more violent.

Thankfully, those giant cannons designed to defend against orbital bombing didn't join the firing ranks.This is probably because these giant cannons are all facing the sky. The predator warships suddenly descended from the south of the equator and then advanced at low altitude and high speed.

At this time, it will take some time to adjust the shooting angle and the position of the artillery array.

One side is unprofessional attack, the other side is not powerful enough to break the defense, the artillery battle between the two sides is really lonely.However, the Predator warship also successfully crossed the foot of the mountain, and successfully covered its hideous shadow to the north of the Kiriro Mountains.

It was probably because the performance of the "friendly troops" boosted their morale, or maybe it was because the existence of these giant ships attracted a lot of covering artillery fire. In short, in the next few minutes, the sandmen began to storm the outpost at the mountain pass, and among them After paying more than five times the dead of the defenders along the way, they finally got through the pass.

At this time, the defenders of the other two passes also got the news, knowing that they could not continue to defend.Fortunately, they had already received an order from the Turon Command before the battle, and they could evacuate to the rear when necessary.

But we also know that an orderly retreat needs to be interrupted, resisted and even counter-charged, otherwise it will definitely turn into a big retreat, and the enemy will only be killed one by one like a hunt.

The garrison guarding Lengfeng Pass is composed of the Volunteer Army Platoon reorganized from the Red Maple Guard Factory Team, the Guard Platoon composed of two Xinyumen residents, and a militia company composed of Sand People.

Their original job was to maintain the safety of the stations, supply stations and roads here, but they really didn't even think that one day they would face the impact of tens of thousands of enemy troops.What was even more unexpected was that our own side left thousands of enemy corpses on the mountain pass despite the casualties of nearly a hundred people.

But now, Xia Shake, who is in charge of commanding here, knows that everyone has reached their limit.

"The Black Dragon Gorge and Huilu Valley are both lost. We must retreat too." He called all the non-commissioned officers over, and said straight to the point: "Our volunteer army has the best equipment and the best training, we will stay here to kill the rear! "

The non-commissioned officers of the guard and the militia couldn't help being stunned.

Indeed, the equipment of the Volunteer Army is self-raised, and it is naturally very supportive to rely on the parent company of the Red Maple Factory, which has recently become popular all over the universe.Although the total number of people who arrived at Xinyumen was only over a thousand, all front-line motorized infantry had power armor, and were also equipped with automatic fire support platforms and armored vehicles.Purely in terms of equipment and individual quality, I am afraid that in Xinyumen it is only inferior to a few marine companies with bugles.

However, the people present still couldn't believe it.

According to the long-standing tradition, isn't the dangerous work of breaking the post all done by the second- and third-line troops as cannon fodder?

"Okay, that's it."

"But, but..." Company Commander Shamin, who was still wearing a bandage on his shoulder, wanted to say something, but was slapped on the shoulder by an earth sergeant from the Volunteer Army next to him, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

"Only when you are well equipped and trained are you going to perform the most difficult missions! You can't really count on you, can you? What if you really collapse? Hurry up and get on the road!"

Company Commander Sha Min stared blankly at the other party's normal eyes.If the previous Earth Guard had this style, how could the Great Elder lead everyone to rebel?
He thought about it again, and suddenly felt that his status as the company commander of the militia was not good at all. When he could join this kind of group, it would be very honorable.

First of all, you have to get the citizenship of the community.However, I did not participate in the last Turon incident, and I have always been a very respectful obedient citizen, so there should be no problem, right?

Several officers of the security team wanted to find a hole in the ground and bury themselves as a marmot.They are pure earthlings and residents of Xinyumen, but none of the Lumina people who have traveled two million light years to support them have awakened.

In fact, they've done pretty well.Compared with the Turon incident that year, it has evolved by more than an order of magnitude.

The front line does not have time to perform traditional performances such as "you go quickly" and "I won't go, let's go together".Besides, Shashak is the chief military officer here, so his orders are naturally absolute.

As a result, the militia and the security platoon got on the pickup trucks and armored vehicles, and retreated towards the rear reception point.As for the Volunteer Army, they carried grenades and charged at the sand people on the opposite side with a wave of violent bombardment, and then a counter-charge, which knocked the other side dizzy on the spot, leaving hundreds of corpses again.

Shashak asked everyone to lay booby traps on the station and substation, and then retreated safely while firing deterrent shots in the direction of the enemy.

Coincidentally, all the defenders at the three passes were led by the most powerful volunteers or marines, and they retreated in an orderly and timely manner.Even in the Black Dragon Canyon, where the line of defense was breached, the sand people looked exhausted, and could only watch helplessly as the opponent withdrew from the battlefield.

Although everyone temporarily withdrew from the position without any danger, Xia Shake was full of doubts.As the captain of the Hongfeng factory guard team and hunting team back then, his military sense is still good, and he has already noticed something.

The morale of these sand people is a bit abnormal!I feel like I've been drugged...

So, before withdrawing to the receiving point of the next line of defense, he sent a communication to the Turon headquarters.Xia Shake is the highest military officer of the Red Maple Factory Volunteer Army, so of course he can report directly to the highest level.

"If it is a stimulant drug, it is not a small amount to be used on so many people. There is no reason to bypass our monitoring network." He said eagerly: "It is very likely that it is some method of mysticism. In this way, the figure Longcheng said that they came to support those sand people, so I'm afraid there will be some problems."

Akinayama Hachiman pushed his glasses, and looked curiously at this plain-looking Lumina warrior with no reputation.

Who said that only the so-called top military academies can cultivate military talents?If all the military students had this quality, the community would have been able to sweep the South Town Alliance and sweep the Tyrant Emperor long ago!
He nodded to Xia Shake to express his gratitude, and then comforted: "Please rest assured, sir, I have made proper arrangements here."

Seeing that the other party still seemed to have some doubts, Hachiman said again: "The reinforcements led by Chief Yu Lian himself will arrive at Xinyumen within [-] hours at the latest. We just need to implement the previous defense plan step by step. "

Hearing this familiar name, Xia Shake suddenly felt a sense of security, and his whole body was full of energy.

"Then, after you push to the garrison of the 12th Guards Regiment, use it as the headquarters to gather all the friendly troops who retreated from the pass, and prepare for defense on the spot. You will take over the command!" Akinayama Hachiman said.

"understand!"

Neither of them thought it would be a problem for a Lumina who came from two million light-years away and theoretically had no official military status to take over the frontline defense.

On the other side, when the three predator battleships, braving the hail of bullets, were dragging their bloated bodies over the ridge, there was a piercing sound from the distant sky, but there were more than [-] unmanned ships. The plane roared from afar.

Like a swarm of soldier bees protecting their nests, they bravely braved the anti-aircraft fire and rushed to a very close position before firing missiles at the Marauder warship.

If it is outside the atmosphere, the radius of this kind of combat does not exceed 1000 kilometers, and it can only carry two missiles at most, and it is impossible for small drones to force them in front of them. Get thrown off.

However, Marauder ships don't have a single gram of mass for ground attack, but air defense is still quite specialized.The four sets of cannons installed on the ship were used for honeycomb missiles and space fighters. The slanted shells immediately formed a large barrage of dense firepower, and shot down all the drones in an instant.

Successfully broke through the fire net, and no more than ten missiles hit the hull.And these anti-air missiles carried by drones are so powerful that one can imagine that hitting the armor of the giant ship is like hitting a city wall with a slingshot.

"It's so strange that the people on Earth didn't send an airship?" Superintendent Sazaka wondered.

"This is where they are more professional than us." Dr. Warren said: "At present, almost all the military powers equipped with atmospheric aircraft are mostly armored airships with vector engines. Those things are mainly used for troop transport and combat. Even if it is barely equipped with anti-air missiles, how can it be better than drones?"

General Sazaka felt that what the other party said seemed to make sense.

Dr. Warren continued: "I have to remind you that our warships are still able to withstand the opponent's attack because the current encounters are all low-power firepower. As far as I know, people on Earth are equipped with at least We have deployed twelve heavy-duty ion cannons, which are enough to fight against large and medium-sized warships. Our low-altitude flight did catch them by surprise, but if we continue to move forward, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be attacked."

The troll warlord nodded and asked, "Where are our allies?"

"The three roads have already broken through the pass and are being repaired. After an hour at most, we can continue to march."

"Very good! After crossing the mountain, just find a flat place to land on. Let's use our battleship as a base, and after reuniting with the Sand People's troops, let's start advancing steadily." Superintendent Sazaka was very satisfied.

"...I have to remind you that the fighting power of the Sand People is not worth looking forward to. Although I don't know when you and the Great Khan got in touch with the chief of the Sand People, I don't know why you trust her so much. However, the year before last At this time, the army of millions of sand people was defeated by the earth people with 500 marines and more than 2000 militias."

"No way! People on Earth really can't do it! If it were us Meishan Daerlang, a hundred people would be able to trample through their army formation." Superintendent Sazaka grinned.

Although this guy is suspected of blowing his mouth, the Maisonda troll is indeed the most famous warrior race in the universe.As long as the old bandits who have fought several battles are equipped with basic equipment, their individual combat capabilities are definitely far above the most elite Imperial Panzergrenadiers.And the ground battle and gang-jumping battle just happened to give full play to their combat effectiveness.

"If you can't fight in space, is it possible that you can't fight on the ground? We have [-] fully armed old brothers in our hands. As long as the indigenous allies are well supported, they can go to Tulong for lunch at noon today!"

"...You said the same thing before the opening of the new Lushun." Dr. Warren said.

Sazaka is really an excellent warlord who is open-minded and unpretentious.If he were to change to other members of his own clan, he might have become angry and caught Dr. Warren here as dry food.

However, the troll general pretended that he didn't hear the other party's sarcasm, and directly picked up a huge Gatling door next to the seat and carried it on his shoulders, and then lifted a door decorated with a standing logo and Heraldic helmet.

Dr. Warren admitted that the helmet was indeed very elegant and imposing.It's just that this thing is more like a product of the cold weapon era, won't the enemy focus on it when wearing it on the front line?
At this time, Sazaka had put the helmet on his head, and when he was about to leave, he said: "Doctor, according to the original plan, you take a ship and return to low-earth orbit first. If... Hey, if you really can't do anything, I allow you to run away without waiting for me. Uh, if you can't, you can surrender. You are a human being, and the Earth Army is more particular about things, at least better than the Imperial Army, so it won't make things difficult for you .”

Dr. Warren finally couldn't help it: "So, what are you going to do? Is it all worth it?"

"This was given to me by the Great Khan." The troll general touched the standing mark on his helmet, and a trace of fanaticism flashed across his face, like a fanatic who was about to die.

Why am I seeing this on a troll face?Dr. Warren doubted his eyes for a moment.By the time he realized it, Warlord Sazaka had already gone to the sailor room, ready to happily trample the land of Xinyumen with his soldiers.

"Doctor, what should we do?" a Lytalin crew member asked cautiously.

He is not a stormtrooper, but a technical officer with no power to restrain a chicken, so he doesn't have to do the work of charging and fighting.

"Of course it is done according to the general's wishes!" Dr. Warren said loudly.
