Chapter 365 Atlas Combat Force VS Federal Regular Army
Atlas’s soldiers only saw the federal army’s main battle tank, its rectangular muzzle flashed, and it followed within its own cordon. A dazzling white light erupted from the front of a medium-sized multi-legged chariot.
That is the arc generated after the deflection force field is activated.
Soldiers who were slightly farther away could even see a slender orange-red line of fire that hit the deflection field. It paused for a moment, and then flew diagonally upwards as if it had been slid away. .
Then, came the sound of cannons that sounded like the wrath of a thunder god from far and near.
"Fire! The federal army opened fire! Defend and counterattack according to established procedures!"
Om waved his hands and shouted in his platoon-level command channel:
"Smoke attack ! Fight the smoke! Fight the smoke!"
Soon, with the sound of a series of electromagnetic projectile devices, a large number of smoke bombs exploded in the open space between the Atlas soldiers and the federal troops.
This round, regardless of whether it is a vehicle or an infantryman, is a rapid-fire smoke bomb. Although it does not last as long as conventional thermal smoke bombs, its special chemical formula is superior in that it can be used in emergencies. Rapidly generate large amounts of smoke for tactical cover.
Watching the wall of smoke rising, Om continued to command in the communication channel:
"Class 1, Class 2, and Class 4 covered the refugees' retreat to the camp. Class 3 and the firepower team quickly entered the predetermined position and Try to counterattack! The multi-legged tank platoon is responsible for breaking up the rear, don’t be reluctant to fight!”
Under his order, the Atlas soldiers who were originally a little nervous due to the unexpected situation quickly calmed down and followed his instructions. The order begins to act.
The last multi-legged chariot platoon was not a unit under his command, but came from his company, which was only temporarily strengthened during this mission.
At this moment, Orm had to be thankful that his company commander had strengthened himself with these three medium-sized multi-legged tanks.
Otherwise, the vehicles of the conventional mechanized infantry platoon would have set off fireworks during the shooting of the federal main battle tank just now.
"These things are so hard. How hard must the heavy multi-legged combat vehicles and main battle tanks in the battalion be?"
At the same time as this inappropriate thought flashed through his mind, Austrian Mu Ye and the soldiers around him began to retreat to the preset position under the cover of the infantry fighting vehicle.
The vehicles used by the companies and platoons under the heavy synthetic battalion are armored infantry fighting vehicles with better protection performance than wheeled armored vehicles.
At this time, under Orm's order, they also maintained a head-on posture to face the enemy. While retreating, they used 50mm chain guns to suppress the federal soldiers who were like headless flies in the smoke.
Compared with the 25, 30 and 35 mm machine guns and chain guns on federal infantry vehicles, the 50 mm chain gun equipped on Atlas's newly installed 'Bull' armored infantry fighting vehicle, although It is slightly inferior in terms of bomb load, but it is obviously more "military" in terms of firepower.
And only a wealthy company like Atlas is willing to use programmed bullets for the chain guns of these infantry fighting vehicles when equipping its own relatively small number of ground troops.
The chain of bullets mixed with high-explosive and armor-piercing anti-explosive bombs, amidst the "bang bang bang bang" firing sound of the chain gun, turned into a "death sickle" through the smoke where the federal soldiers had gathered just now. The position is scanned.
Although the commanders of each infantry fighting vehicle could not figure out the killing effect for the time being, looking at the increasingly sparse counterattacks in the smoke, they also knew that the federal infantry must have suffered a big loss.
Not long after Orm and the company headquarters reported the situation, there was a scream in the sky that made him couldn't help but look up.
He saw more than a dozen projectiles with shallow wakes passing over his head, and then exploded at the impact point in the distance, forming a thicker wall of smoke. This is cover fire from the company's fire platoon's 120mm mortar.
According to the scheduled plan, after a conflict occurs, the 120 mortar team will first fire a round of smoke grenades in the predetermined area to cover the retreat of forward troops and refugees, and then use 120 mm A six-shot rapid-fire smart airburst grenade.
Since the area near Refugee Camp No. 5 has been clearly mapped out in many previous test firings, all the direct firepower, including the fire platoon of this company, will be counterattacked. You can skip the calibration link and fire directly.
Even if there is an error in the landing point, it can be corrected by calibrating the drone while maintaining suppressive shooting.
——
If the combat units on Atlas's side were able to retreat and counterattack in an orderly manner when faced with emergencies.
Then the larger number of federal troops opposite them seemed a little embarrassed when faced with the counterattack of a mechanized infantry platoon + multi-legged tank platoon and more than ten 120 troops.
Looking at the leading mechanized infantry company that was blown away in the smoke, Norris, the battalion commander of the Federal 162nd Heavy Combined Battalion, was a little confused.
He suddenly found that he was a little confused about who was plotting against whom?
Why is the opponent's counterattack so fast and the firepower counterattack plan so abundant? It's like they have been prepared and waiting for them to come to their doorstep.
What is even more outrageous is that the moment the two sides started fighting, their troops were severely suppressed by electronics.
Not only did the drones in the sky start to enter automatic cruise mode because they disconnected from the ground signal, they were being shot down one by one by the opponent's high-energy lasers like mosquitoes.
Even the communications between his battalion and friendly forces in the rear and other directions have been severely disrupted.
In order to prevent possible incoming electronic warfare viruses, Norris also had to suspend conventional communications and began to use less efficient blue-green lasers and quantum encrypted communications
"Fuck! What is this medium-sized multi-legged tank opposite? Why is it equipped with a deflection field?"
The cursing voice in the communication channel made Norris suddenly come back to his senses. This was his armor. The voice of the company commander.
The radio discipline of the Federal Army has always been in a state of "steady decline". The chaotic communication channels make commanders at all levels miserable during battles.
But they themselves often do not abide by radio discipline, let alone the soldiers under their command.
"Are you sure it is a medium-sized polypod, not a heavy-duty polypod that lowers the body?"
Norris subconsciously replied in the communication channel, completely unaware that he did not stop the armored company commander from not complying with radio discipline in time, and even participated in it.
“Batalion Commander, I’m pretty sure it’s a medium-sized polypod. The combat auxiliary AI also guessed it was a medium-sized polypod based on the opponent’s size. But it’s really weird. Although I lowered the voltage in order to fire the gun quickly, it still doesn’t work. As for the medium-sized multi-legged ones that can't be defeated."
"Don't think so much. The troops in other directions will probably realize that something is wrong by now. They have probably started to attack according to the plan. You can lead them. Let the armored company press forward first, and I'll let the HCP company cover you. They don't have much defense depth!"
"Understood!"
The armored company commander replied with great momentum, Then they took 14 "Grizzly" main battle tanks into a battle formation, and at the same time raised the deflection field and began to advance.
When the armored company commander's No. 1 vehicle rushed out of the wall of thermal energy smoke, the last thing he saw was a large number of armored walls and fixed turrets appearing like magic on the impact position that was originally a smooth road ahead. .
The next second, a thick blue-white 'beam' unreasonably shredded the deflection field of the Grizzly main battle tank, and then swallowed the entire body.
