Chapter 262 We are Atlas
Before the coalition artillery fire was ready to launch, members of the special operations team also began to make final preparations in the safe house in Ptolemaic City.
The black military supplies box that several team members had been carrying behind their backs was opened, revealing the miniature rocket nests, four-unit multi-functional launch chambers, portable electromagnetic guns, and individual anti-vehicle missiles placed inside. and matching ammunition.
Part of the team members helped each other and installed the miniature rocket nest and the quadruple multi-functional launch chamber, which are inconvenient to carry during the infiltration process, on the interfaces on the back of their respective exoskeleton shoulder armors. .
The remaining people carried individual anti-vehicle missiles behind their backs and assembled portable electromagnetic guns into a marching mode that could launch attacks at any time.
"The micro rocket nest has been connected."
"Multifunctional launch chamber. has been connected."
"The ammunition management system is online."
With the tactical visor These prompts flashed on the HUD, and Lieutenant Baninger turned his head slightly.
The two additional modules behind his shoulder armor adjusted their positions amidst the driving sound of the built-in motor, and finally fit tightly on the shoulder armor.
He moved his hands and shoulder joints, and there was no obstruction that made it difficult to move.
Although it seems that my shoulder armor is quite swollen, in fact, under the joint design of Eugene Koch, director of the Atlas Industrial Weapons and Equipment R&D Center, and Orns, these Additional equipment does not affect the wearer's movements.
“Okay, guys!”
Baninger clapped his hands and focused everyone’s attention.
“It’s time for us to work. After the coalition artillery preparations begin, we will start operating according to the scheduled combat mission!
Remember the daily training and believe in the comrades around you. No enemy can stop our attack!
Do you understand? ! "
"Yes! Lieutenant! ”
The members of the special operations team quickly arrived at the door of the safe house, and then lined up in two lines waiting for the operation to begin.
Looking at the prepared special operations team, Baninger Nod slightly.
As Amber's 'iron fan', Banninger has always wanted to bring these old guys on Robert 4 to contribute to Atlas.
In other words, apart from Lilith, the ones who believe most in the ‘blueprint’ planned by Amber are the veterans who escaped from Robert IV among the current Atlas.
The long-term experience of serving in the Federal Mobile Force, as well as the battles they experienced on the Robert IV, made them resentful of the federal government.
After seeing the federation’s outrageous operations again and again, I became even more disappointed.
But the blueprint of Atlas that Amber planned for them allowed them to see a possibility that seemed to be able to 'end all wars'.
Although Baninger led the teaching team to train the Roma people from "hairballs" to be manipulated into professional war machines, they have made an indelible contribution.
But Baninger, who was born as a motorized infantryman, and the veterans of the teaching team still hope to make more direct contributions on the battlefield.
So after receiving the task of leading a team to infiltrate Ptolemaic City, Baninger was quite happy.
He never thought this was a dangerous task. Instead, he thought it was an excellent opportunity for the teaching team to set an example and demonstrate their value on the battlefield.
But at the same time, before the infiltration operation began, he was actually a little worried about whether his and his veterans' skills had deteriorated after being away from the battlefield for these days.
But at least so far, the performance of the teaching team has been normal, and there has been no drop in the chain.
After checking the time again and confirming that the coalition forces would start artillery preparations in 3 minutes, Baninger walked to the door of a room in the safe house.
In the room, Franklin and other young people were sitting on the floor bored.
Although the special operations team no longer restrained them in the past two days, they also provided them with three meals a day and even allowed them to take turns taking a bath in the safe house.
But when the personal terminals were taken away and there were no other entertainment activities, the other young people except Franklin began to feel a little bored.
As for why Franklin isn’t bored?
Because he has been looking at the weapons and equipment of the members of the special operations team for the past two days, and even got close to them whenever he had the opportunity, taking the opportunity to 'appreciate' these new combat exoskeletons that he had never seen before at close range.
After seeing Baninger walking to the door of the room, the young people in the room sat up and looked at him.
"The coalition forces are about to start artillery preparations before the general attack, and you are free."
Baninger's first words have left these young people hanging for the past two days. My heart finally relaxed.
Although the members of the special operations team seemed to be federal troops, the restrictions on their freedom in the past two days still made these young people a little scared and uneasy.
Looking at the obviously relieved expressions of these young people, Lieutenant Baninger smiled and continued:
“But I suggest that you wait until the battle is over in the safe house. The urban area is still relatively dangerous when street fighting begins. This safe house has been marked in advance. If you stay here, you don't have to worry about being accidentally injured by coalition artillery fire. "
Baninger finished speaking. He was about to leave, then he seemed to remember something, and turned around and added:
"Your personal terminal is in the cabinet in the living room. You can go get it when we leave in a while, before the network is completely interrupted. When you are sick, tell your family members to stay at home and not run around outside.”
After saying this, Baninger left.
The young people in the room looked at each other. The sudden departure of the special operations team always made them feel a little unreal.
After hesitating for a moment, Franklin got up and chased after him. When he came to the door, the members of the special operations team just glanced at him, then turned back and waited for the operation to begin.
But Baninger walked to his side and looked at him without speaking.
Although he couldn't see the expression and eyes under the tactical mask, Franklin still felt a strong sense of oppression.
It took him a long time to control his emotions and asked:
"Sir, you are not a federal force, right?"
"Huh? Do we look like the empire? Troops?"
"No, I mean, you don't look like the regular army of the Federation."
This remark aroused Baninger's curiosity, and he asked a little funny: "Why do you say that?"
"I have seen the elite troops of the Planetary Defense Force, and I also saw the exposure on military forums. The federal special units that came out are very different from them, whether it is weapons and equipment or your spirit."
Franklin finished this sentence seriously, and then looked at Baninger and him Behind them are these soldiers who exude an 'elite' aura.
Then I heard one of the team members say through the loudspeaker: "Do you mean we look crazy? Hahahaha."
His words aroused the laughter of other team members. There was a burst of laughter, and even Baninger couldn't help laughing.
"Sir, who are you?" Franklin asked still seriously.
But just as he finished speaking, a rumbling sound accompanied by obvious tremors entered the safe house.
The coalition's artillery preparations began.
As soon as Baninger heard the shelling, he walked to the back of the team, and the leading member of the special operations team also opened the door to the safe house.
The moment the lieutenant disappeared through the gate, an answer floated into Franklin's ears.
"We are Atlas, kid."
——
In Amber, he led the HCP reinforcement company, rushed to the first line of defense of the remaining imperial soldiers, and repulsed the first Wave simultaneously attempted to retake the position with Imperial troops through a counter-charge.
The attacks of the coalition's self-propelled artillery groups also began to extend to the urban area, and precision guided munitions were used to specifically attack key nodes such as the joints, fire positions, and forward fingers that were previously detected.
The special operations team in the city also rushed into a city hall service station in the city.
After quickly knocking down the two Imperial soldiers hiding inside, Baninger connected the combat terminal to the city hall's service network.
The identification code provided by the Galaxy Autonomous Government quickly gave him the highest authority to use the municipal management system.
The staff who were detained in the city hall by the imperial soldiers and had not yet been evacuated suddenly discovered that there was a authority in the system that was higher than the mayor level.
Then the user named ‘ATLAS’ quickly gained control of various cameras, smart roadblocks, hidden walls and other equipment on the streets.
Baninger's operation was the same as Amber's on Robert IV's Blue Bay, starting three-dimensional modeling through cameras in the city.
At that time, Amber still needed to rely on Lilith's computing power to do this, but now Baninger and the others no longer have to worry about this.
The combat exoskeletons used by members of the teaching team all use a new architecture combat processor developed by Lilith in her "free time". Its computing power is higher than that of ordinary Atlas soldiers. a lot of.
The purpose is to make it easier for them to use these strange functions.
After obtaining control authority over a large number of automated equipment within the city, Baninger began to operate it.
He first closed all rail transportation in the city, and at the same time lowered the blocking walls at all underground transportation stations, confining the battle to the ground.
Then he confirmed the distribution of the remaining imperial troops and the reinforcement routes of the reserve troops.
Due to the remaining imperial troops in Ptolemaic City, the main body is still a few armored brigade-level combat teams, with many heavy combat vehicles.
So it is difficult for main battle tanks and heavy multi-legged tanks to pass through civilian viaducts and some extremely narrow road sections.
In this case, there were not many reinforcement routes for the empire's remaining reserve forces to choose from, and Baninger did not hesitate to raise smart roadblocks and hidden isolation on these sections. Walls and other devices.
Although these devices certainly cannot stop the crushing of heavy units, Baninger does not really intend to stop them by this method, but is trying to delay as much time as possible.
Immediately afterwards, he controlled a large number of billboards on the outer front of the city and began to play the contents of the "letter of persuasion to surrender" on a rolling basis.
When the imperial soldiers on the outskirts of the city launched a counterattack towards the lost front, the sudden appearance of persuading surrender content on the surrounding billboards still greatly damaged their morale.
After doing all this, Baninger led the special operations team towards the northeast of the city.
According to the investigation results of the past two days, the frontline headquarters of this imperial remnant army is located in this area.
At the same time, Lilith, who had been holding back for two days, finally began to attack with the electronic warfare virus.
