Chapter 627: Homeland of Death (Part 1)
In fact, Sommer was not willing to fly Cerberus when he was serving in the service, because in order to achieve the best combat effect, Cerberus modified the original crew compartment of the Chimera A box for carrying Promethium, which solves the problem of Hellcannon's ammo endurance in combat.
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 destroy the entire vehicle. Cerberus transforms into a ball of bright, hot fire, taking away all its occupants.
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.
“Return to your posts.”
Above the garage, the assembly signal sounded, and the lights began to flash, shrouding everything in a twilight yellow, and groups of people The 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. War machines were waiting under the flashing lights and blaring horns. The armor closest to the gate had started their engines, the tracks began to rumble together, and exhaust gas overflowed from the exhaust pipes. .
Sommer watched for a while, and he 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.
“Let’s go.”
Under Sommer’s instruction, the driver started the engine, and the Cerberus’ tracks began to crawl slowly.
Soon, they left the field garage and arrived at the vast assembly area outside.
Hundreds - no, thousands of armors filled the assembly area, Sommer saw a Salamander reconnaissance vehicle, another Chimera variant, and a Buffalo personnel carrier, among other things In addition, there were several armor models that he couldn't name.
Most of the armor was painted with the insignia of their respective regiments. The sound of engines, shouted orders, and the sound of metal collisions merged into a wave that filled Sommer's ears.
Farther outside the armored assembly site, there is an endless group of infantry. They stand in the dust of the 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 all they have to do is crush the remaining ones——
At least Sommer is like this prayed for.
Before the attack, Armageddon's main armored corps sent coordinates to the fleet in orbit, 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. 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, the troops from Invernas Nest and Acheron Nest began to advance along a front of hundreds of kilometers.
On the north side of the attackers are continuous mountains, their peaks covered in thick fog. To the south of the attackers, the swamps covered with solidified mud are like a black mirror. At the front of the infantry wave, the armor came in droves, like a wave of steel.
The landing area of the green skin is covered with fragments that disintegrated during the fall. They are metal with a shell in pieces, and some fragments are 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, laying a huge blow. Determined to put an end to those aliens.
Cannons of different calibers protrude from the armored car body and turret, and the bulldozers push the rubble to both sides like fresh snow, passing through a maze composed of a large number of metal fragments.
Every armored vehicle's auspex scans, searching for their enemies.
The gravel hit the shell like dust. As it gradually penetrated deeper, they still found nothing.
Signals passed between the advancing machinery: Did anyone see anything? Why no aliens? Perhaps the bombing had destroyed the enemy?
The 17th Acheron Reconnaissance Company is advancing rapidly as the spearhead of the first wave of attacks. Their company includes twelve coal-black painted Salamander reconnaissance vehicles. After continuing to advance for five kilometers, , they became the first casualties in this 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 lighting beam touched the body of a Salamander and pierced straight 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.
The auspicious screen of the advancing Salamander reconnaissance vehicle began to flash signals of heat and energy beams. In panic, they began to fire blindly, shooting projectiles into the ground in front of them.
The defenders no longer concealed themselves 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 vehicles died, and their vehicles The body was pierced or shattered by the explosion.
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.
Fire shoots 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. , the roar of shell impact still echoed in the ears.
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!
