From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 488: Unsurprisingly, the Attack Was Blocked

"The lead car was attacked! The lead car was attacked!"

"Fuck! Other crews, disperse! Use firepower to cover the survivors' evacuation!"

The battle under the cover of night began as an anti-vehicle missile flew out from under a seemingly ruined building with a long trail and finally hit the leading armored vehicle of Company A.

Without even needing Captain Jenny to give any orders, the remaining two crews of the three crews at the front quickly turned their turrets, pointed their 30mm chain guns at the location where the missile was launched, and quickly opened fire.

As the tracer bullets trailed their way, the only two survivors in the lead vehicle stumbled out of the open rear door of the wheeled armored vehicle and fell to the ground.

After a while, under the dual effects of stimulants and adrenaline, they got up from the ground again, and then limped towards the direction of the friendly vehicles that came to pick them up.

However, these two soldiers, who were lucky enough to survive the anti-vehicle missile attack under the protection of the combat exoskeleton armor plates that could be called "the savior of the weapon", had not even taken two steps before their torsos were shattered by two steel needle bullets that came one after the other.

"grass!"

Captain Jenny couldn't help but curse when he saw the fluctuation curves representing the vital signs of the two soldiers on the command interface being straightened in an instant.

At the same time, he quickly noticed that the two steel needle bullets that reaped lives like the Grim Reaper's scythe did not draw a conspicuous orange-red trajectory in the night sky like ordinary steel needles.

Instead, it passed silently in the night, leaving only a very rough direction on the anti-sniper radar.

"Sublimation cooling steel needle bullets. Could it be a sniper team from the special operations unit?"

Captain Jenny murmured. As a frontline officer who had served in the galaxy garrison for a long time, he was not unfamiliar with the equipment of the brigade's special operations unit. After all, the two sides often had to cooperate in combat at that time.

So he naturally knew that the sniper teams of these special operations units would use relatively expensive sublimation refrigeration ammunition in order to delay their exposure time as much as possible on the battlefield.

Lieutenant Kent, his long-time partner, nodded in agreement, "Given this characteristic and reaction speed, it's probably true."

"How come we got the first prize?"

Captain Jenny said angrily, but he also knew that this was not the time to complain, so he gave the order skillfully and quickly:
"Attention, scout platoon! Continue to suppress the target area with firepower! Infantrymen on vehicles, prepare to dismount and fight. Seize the target area for me!
The 2nd platoon is on alert in the direction of the anti-sniper radar warning. If you spot a suspicious target, open fire without asking for permission!
The 3rd Platoon follows the Vanguard Platoon and is ready to provide support at any time!
The 4th Platoon continues to perform security operations to prevent enemy units from outflanking from other directions!
Company electronic warfare team, begin electronic jamming and countermeasure operations! "

After quickly giving the order, Captain Jenny turned his upper body and patted the signalman sitting behind him on the head.

"Reporting that our unit was attacked, we are carrying out the mission of expelling and annihilating according to the plan!"

"Yes! Captain!" The signalman responded nervously, then quickly started operating on the vehicle-mounted workbench in front of him and transmitted the relevant information to the forward command in the rear.

At the same time, Lieutenant Kent on the other side looked at the picture on the screen in front of him and his eyes lit up. He immediately bumped Jenny beside him with his shoulder.

"Look! The drone has captured the enemy's ambush group!" Upon hearing this, Captain Jenny immediately turned his head and saw the footage taken by the car-mounted drone on the screen.

In the ruins that were initially thought to be 'safe', several figures were emerging from the infrared camouflage tarpaulin. From the outline under the tarpaulin, it was not difficult to see that the anti-vehicle missile launcher was hidden underneath.

However, under the long burst suppression of the two 30mm guns, they didn't even have the chance to reload for a while.

When the reconnaissance drone discovered them, it quickly marked them out and shared them with the entire crew of Company A via data link.

Therefore, the crews of the remaining two wheeled armored vehicles of the vanguard platoon soon saw several conspicuous red inverted triangle marks on their sighting interfaces.

Then, the trajectory of the 30-meter gun naturally followed and immediately raised dust into the position of the enemy soldiers.

Just as the infantrymen accompanying the two wheeled armored vehicles got off and jumped forward as the vehicles were moving, the drone camera in front of Jenny and Kent suddenly turned upwards and locked onto a relatively dense forest in the distance.

The next second, a main battle tank covered with camouflage nets emerged from the woods. As it was marked as a "purple high-risk unit" by the drone, arcs began to flash on the electromagnetic reconnection track in the middle of its wedge-shaped turret.

"It's over."

This was the joint reaction of the two people in the armored command vehicle after seeing this scene. Immediately afterwards, a line of fire swept across the battlefield in an instant, and restored a wheeled armored vehicle of the vanguard platoon to its spare parts, knocking down several soldiers around it.

Such scenes were played out simultaneously in almost all offensive directions of the Renaissance Alliance.

After the "advance teams" carrying out the mission of expelling and annihilating the enemy encountered the enemy in these scattered settlements or automated farms, there was no probing phase at all, and the battle between the two sides quickly entered a white-hot stage.

After receiving the news from the advance team, the various troops in the main attack direction quickly adjusted their combat deployment according to the enemy situation, and then ordered an attack.

However, since the troops under General Lampard were able to deal with the Renaissance Alliance with fewer troops and often gained the upper hand, it showed that their combat quality was indeed much higher than that of Franklin's side.

This also caused the various 'advance teams' to suffer losses very quickly, and two 'advance teams' that were unlucky or had low combat literacy were almost annihilated as a whole.
Although the subsequent scouts and frontline attack troops quickly cleared out these outer guard troops with their advantages in manpower and heavy equipment, when they advanced to the enemy's main defense line, they soon encountered an enemy situation similar to that of the "advance team".

The heavy firepower on the main defense line built by the troops under the command of "General Lampard" is not simple anti-vehicle missiles or large-caliber electromagnetic sniper rifles, but a serious heavy-armored force including main battle tanks, heavy multi-legged vehicles, and HCP.

As expected, the Renaissance Alliance encountered varying degrees of obstacles in all offensive directions.

The mixed military and police forces already had a lot of police equipment, which led to a low overall quality of the forces. Not to mention the siege operations with an alarmingly high casualty rate, which further reduced the combat effectiveness of each force.

Soon, the reports of the "stalemate" battle coming from all directions made Franklin, who was in the command cabin, frown.
