Chapter 1745 Marching into the Field of Steel
Defending the newly built No. 2 Fortress are members of the "Tiger Division" of the Earth Marine Corps and soldiers from the Lumina Chapter. They have turned this fortress into a millstone of flesh and blood.
The fortress marine commander is the 42-year-old Major General Zuo Wanhu. This is a typical warrior with a thick build, solid muscles, and powerful Kongwu. He once served as the brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Huben Division.
However, after experiencing military exploits with the Fuxi, he also wore a second general star, but was not transferred back to Earth. Instead, he served as the deputy commander of the fortress defense in the Said theater.
This is a real fierce general. He is obviously a pure human being and not a psyker. However, in frontal combat, he wears a mecha and wields two heavy carbon crystal battle axes, and he can always explode. A kind of spirit that can make even psychics tremble in fear, a spirit that is invincible and capable of defeating thousands of troops.
"Commander Zuo, I think that if there is any so-called mortal who can suppress psykers in frontal combat, it must be you! Your name sounds like you can beat cows, demons, and snakes with fists and iron. ." Yu Lian once praised General Zuo Wanhu like this.
Although this was a joke, it did make General Zuo Wanhu very happy, but he was not ready to actually rush forward and fight the Astral Knights hand-to-hand.
In fact, as a traditional East Asian, he is also highly educated and has read several Chunqiu books. Although he is tall and has rough features, he still has a somewhat elegant temperament when he is not fighting.
Generally speaking, this kind of general may be a type that is both civil and military
Therefore, when the landing Imperial soldiers just boarded the fortress, they suddenly discovered that this fortress did not look like a serious space station at all. All the passages inside are twists and turns and filled with unstable energy particles and neurotoxins, as if they were mazes designed by an antisocial person.
In this way, every time they take a step forward, they are walking on thin ice, facing an abyss, sitting on pins and needles, and having a light on their backs.
The first batch of attacks came from inhuman troops. Those spider-sized robots would emerge from any possible opening to harass their march.
Of course, it is difficult for a robot of this size to carry any heavy weapons. Apart from self-destructing on the spot, it cannot cause much direct damage, but it can always get under the bellies of fire support vehicles using hydraulic power and destroy their stability. devices and circuits. They even sneaked behind the soldiers' mechas and directly destroyed their life-support equipment during the chaos.
No one wants to suddenly lose the fresh air from the mask in a passage filled with toxins and explosive particles. Even if the air conditioner is broken, it is unbearable.
The direct casualties caused by this approach were indeed few, but the chaos that followed was imaginable.
And at this time, the defenders would swoop in from the secret door, dragging the imperial soldiers trapped in the mud into an even more chaotic mess.
The heraldry machine is okay. The terrifying robot created from the gray fog machine reverse research cannot directly destroy the occult unit of alchemy creation. However, in the confusing situation, some astral knights who have never experienced such a bad battle It is inevitable that you will be in a hurry. So, in the melee, a sparkling astral knight was focused on by the portable AK plasma cannon of the Lumina warriors, and was approached by several consecutive ion salt bombs. In the end, he was unable to move, and was hit by counter-alchemy bullets. Knocked off the mask.
The hapless psyker kept fighting for several minutes even as his head and face were exposed to an environment that would be completely lethal to carbon-based creatures.
Then, half of his face was shattered by General Zuo Wanhu's blaster at close range, and his head was immediately chopped off by the latter with a carbon battle axe.
"...Well, to round things off, I can count as killing the psyker, right?" Zuo Wanhu thought as he looked at the rolling head of the Astral Knight, and then he was even more full of admiration for his commander.
Of course, when he withdrew, he naturally won the respect of his subordinates. Several rookie psychics who came from the mainland to support him looked at Major General Zuo Wanhu with admiration in their eyes.
Subsequently, the news that the fortress was not going well was transmitted to the Regent Queen.
"It's not surprising. People on earth always come up with all kinds of fantastic ideas on these exquisite small combat equipment. The same is true for the light wings, and the same is true for robots. However, this updates my thinking. The so-called technical equipment "We can't always focus on hard kills," King Shazam thought thoughtfully.
He was a smart man, and of course he immediately understood that what really played a decisive role was not the sneak attack by the defenders, but the early harassment of the robots on the narrow battlefield.
Then he expressed admiration again: "The Tirero people are human beings, and the people on Earth are also human beings. Such an intelligent and heroic race is our compatriots, and the eldest son of the Enlightened One! Shouldn't it be under the imperial authority of the empire? Let's work together to create the great cause of conquering the endless galaxy? This is the battle to safeguard the integrity and honor of mankind."
Academic high-ranking generals are very fond of value. Regarding this issue, the adjutant was relatively calm and explained the maze design of the fortress.
"This is not in line with engineering principles." King Shah muttered: "Whether it is a military or civilian space station, it is necessary to ensure smooth internal traffic in order to ensure basic operating efficiency. Even the fortress of the empire will only have outer space. The defensive zone has this kind of labyrinth design.”
"Yes. So the technical department at the front suspects that when the people on earth renovated this fortress, they added a large number of secret doors and built them with ship armor. When our army attacks, we only need to close the secret doors to form a maze structure. . Their renovation projects were completed this year, and they also guessed our offensive line.”
"This is indeed a method, but it will also trap you in the fortress. Are they not ready to evacuate?" King Sha said.
"Perhaps, they were originally..."
"Oh, I understand what you mean. Since such a brave and loyal soldier should have the ending he deserves." King Shah sighed: "Let Lieutenant General Laermin continue the siege, but there is no need to force it immediately. Capture the fortress.”
He pondered for a moment and then asked: "Who is the guard of this fortress? Whose general is it?"
"The defense commander is Major General Zuo Wanhu, a Marine Corps officer."
"Sounds like a warrior." The Shah showed a look of cherishing talents: "Let Laermin bring my token to persuade him to surrender, and I will guarantee that he will at least have the title of sword-wielding baron for life, and his descendants can pass it on to at least three generations. the title of nobility, and the civil class of the family for generations.”
"The deputy commander is a Lumina man, he seems to be named Babakau..."
"Oh, just kill them as much as possible if you can." Emperor Xuan continued to arrange follow-up maneuvers in an understated manner: "The rest of the fleet will bypass this fortress group and continue to maneuver in the direction of Gravity Well No. 3."
King Shazamen always maintains a clear mind and calm judgment. He knows where his strategic goals are.
"...This will cost us at least two more hours of flight. Intelligence shows that the enemy is equipped with at least ten Dragon Breath Gauss cannons on Fortress No. 4, which was completed in March. If we want to blockade it from this position Gravity Well No. 3, cutting off the Earth Fleet’s retreat, is bound to be bombarded by these giant cannons.”
In other words, Fortress No. 2 can be surrounded without attacking, but Fortress No. 4 must be knocked down.
But the problem is that in order to penetrate the defense lines along the way, King Shazamen's fleet has already deployed a large number of land troops. Although he clearly had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, he actually felt that he was stretched thin. There is no way, academic generals always like to waste pavement when using troops.
"What a watertight defense. Is there anything in this world that he can't do?" King Sha once again admired and admired: "If such an outstanding person does not belong to the royal family of Chenxi, then the fault must be in this universe."
< br>
King Shazamen seems to have forgotten that the official commander of the Seder Front is actually Admiral Sylvester, and of course it is the latter who is responsible for the ashes of the entire galaxy.
"What's going on over there on the Yongjin?" Sand King asked again.
On the battlefield two astronomical units away from here, Yu Lian and his mount were already very well coordinated. In just a few minutes of charging, he had already felt the pleasure of killing ships with his body three times.
Of course, the feeling of cutting the battleship with the atomic light spear was too smooth. There was really no so-called touch, but Yu Lian still used the idealistic method to let himself feel a refreshing and refreshing blow.
There is no way, fallen creatures like humans, once they have a little bit of status and power, they always like to jump between materialism and idealism.
After Yu Lian successfully "cut off" two of the Emperor's cruisers with the light spear given to him by the Emperor, and shot down a row of brave intercepting fighter planes with a ferocious spirit storm, the fire interception network in front of him suddenly became denser. got up. This is naturally because he has entered the mid-range interception net of the Tyrero Yongjin.
At this time, he had to put away his atomic light spear and let himself be protected by the space bubble. In the space bubble, there is a misalignment between the inside and outside of the material world. Even with one's own abilities, one cannot interfere with the outside world in a material sense. However, in the spiritual realm, he can still capture the countless anger, fanaticism, radicality, pain and panic around him.
In Yu Lian's induction, the spirits of comrades and enemies were like torches spreading across the space of consciousness.
The changing colors of the torch represent their will and emotions at this time.
However, in the ocean of consciousness, there is no concept of space at all. Within the realm of consciousness that one can "see", those flames are within easy reach and can also be extinguished easily.
Yu Lian had already seen a Black Anni class battlecruiser, which was the closest imperial battleship to him, and was firing at his Fuxi.
His spiritual sense reached out. The breath of the Silver Dragon turned into a wide-area psychological storm, exploding within that range.
On the battle cruiser, the spirits of a large number of enemies were destroyed, including the captain and chief helmsman who were working hard to command the battleship. Of course, the battleship's engine is still turning, and the hull is also running naturally according to the existing rhythm, but it is not maneuvering according to the overall rhythm of the entire fleet. Therefore, in the relative space, the battle patrol's movements seemed to have taken too much moon candy, deviating crookedly from its original trajectory.
By the time the battle cruiser fully regained control, he had already scratched a shocking scar on the aircraft carrier closest to him.
The two large warships just evacuated towards the outer circle of the fleet in a panic, carrying the explosion belt and sparks caused by the negative distance contact.
What a shame. However, it is indeed an elite imperial guard fleet! Even if they are hit by a psychic storm, there will always be determined warriors who grit their teeth and endure the severe pain, desperately trying to get their battleships back on track. If it were the road specimens from the Solar System Fleet of Ring of Miracles, they would probably hit a rounder shape, right?
Yu Lian immediately felt that he was a little abnormal. How antisocial does one have to be to make such a comparison between friendly and enemy forces?
However, after this episode, the New Shenzhou 2 under his feet had reached its limit after all, and had to deviate from its original route to avoid a series of fierce bombardment interceptions, and then turned around and flew back.
But at this time, the radar on the lightning strike ship also issued a fierce and intensive warning sound.
That is the reaction when a small high-risk target enters the warning area.
Generally speaking, a torpedo ship will react this way only when it is approached by four or more enemy aircraft.
"Sir, are there any small and high-danger targets approaching?" she reported loudly.
"I heard that the empire recently equipped a titanium blade fighter. Could it be this thing?" Yu Lian was still very curious about this kind of fighter. This was not a weapon that appeared in another timeline.
"Haha, the battle is like this. I don't even know how long it will take to return home. It is very possible for any enemy to appear. Maybe they will be more old-fashioned fighters." Anne said.
Never do that. If it is equipped with the most advanced light wings and space bubble generators, the engine and energy controller are equipped with occult units, and even the armor plate of the hull has been modified by its own alchemy, it can be called the "high X" among lightning strike ships. , the New Shenzhou 2, which also killed the Star Colonists, was really killed by an old-fashioned Fighter fighter. Isn't this equivalent to the B2 being shot down by Cai (meow) Guo (woo) Qing?
However, Anne added: "However, this feeling is similar to the feeling I had when I dealt with that Leviathan in Tianshu."
Yu Lian paused for a moment and showed a calm smile: "You are really starting to believe your feelings."
"I believe in everything. Will this awaken spiritual energy?" Annie smiled and said: "Of course, I am not that blind person. I have no obsession with spiritual energy, so I just want to discuss the technical issues here."
"Who knows? If I knew the exact rules for the emergence of extraordinary beings, I would be the master of the entire empire." Yu Lian smiled.
"If you are willing, there will be a grand duke above you, and maybe one day you will become a co-emperor."
Yu Lian just calmly ordered: "Very good, let's break out and return home."
"..." Annie behind the headset paused briefly, but this talented pilot who was born in the violent flying tribe has never been a pretentious person.
"Understood. Then what you said..."
Anne Romanova stopped. She clearly saw that Yu Lian had jumped off the back of the New Shenzhou 2 and fell straight towards the space fortress that was constantly spitting out intensive firepower, as if the whole body was beating with fierce fire. Colorful spiritual light overflowed from behind the heraldic fuselage, like wings covered with rays of light.
Those are wings of light that are far more beautiful than the light wings of my own Lightning Strike Ship.
She felt like she was seeing gods charging towards hell.
"...I really can't do anything to you. I never forget to be cool!" Lieutenant Colonel Romanova held the steering wheel and led the lightning strike ship to avoid a series of ion beams again, turned around again and flew in the direction of her own fleet. .
Of course, she is also prepared to look cool along the way. There are two space bubble torpedoes in the cabin, and there are enemy ships on the way back, which are the best test targets.
