Chapter 366 We don’t pretend to be gentlemen anymore
The air waves caused by the heavy particle cannon firing on the surface blew away the smoke, and at the same time woke up these federal armored soldiers who had just aroused their fighting spirit. .
After seeing the lead car being turned into a puddle of 'melted cheese' by heavy metal particle jets, the fear of being 'taken' by this high-energy weapon quickly came to their minds.
"The No. 1 car was destroyed. The company commander was killed!" A trembling voice sounded in the communication channel.
Even if the Federal 72nd Heavy Combined Brigade responsible for attacking Atlas Camp 5 is a well-trained standing force, these armored soldiers will inevitably panic when the lead vehicle is attacked in an instant.
Fortunately, the No. 2 and No. 8 vehicles where the deputy company commander and senior noncommissioned officers were located were fine, so the armored company's command system did not completely collapse.
The deputy company commander had no time to express condolences for the death of his company commander, so he immediately took over the command in the communication channel. His choice was simple, that is, to continue the attack.
Although a large number of obstacles, armored walls, and powerful heavy particle turrets and electromagnetic reconnection turrets suddenly appeared on the impact position directly ahead, if we stop the attack and retreat at this time, it will be even more devastating. People were hit as targets.
So the deputy company commander could only bite the bullet and continue the attack at this time, while praying that the support of the HCP company could be in place in time.

"When did this fucking defensive position be built?"
Norris, the battalion commander of the 162nd Heavy Combined Battalion of the 72nd Coincidence Brigade of the Federal Army, also saw the picture coming back from the front.
The sudden appearance of defensive positions in the outer position of Atlas really caught him off guard.
These things cannot even be simply called defensive positions, but semi-permanent fortifications equipped with a large amount of heavy firepower.
From the effect of the infantry fighting vehicle's chain gun hitting the opponent's composite armor wall, it is not difficult to see that the physical hardness should be similar to the 'front face' of the main battle tank.
You must know that the federal army has actually been monitoring the ten refugee camps in Atlas.
Whether it is the long-endurance drone conducting reconnaissance at the edge of the no-fly zone or the overhead reconnaissance satellite, the federal army believes that they have something to do with these ten refugee camps in Atlas. It's all under control'.
But now the inexplicable extra defensive facilities on the outer positions almost slapped the face of the reconnaissance troops.
Norris looked at the images on the battlefield recorders of the forward troops. Whether it was the fort or the composite armor wall, the surrounding land showed signs of turning, as if it was growing out of the ground.
After seeing this, the combat staff beside him couldn’t help but said:
"Battal Commander, why do these things look like they were hidden underground before?"
Hearing the combat staff's doubts, Norris also nodded.
"It does look like it. Could it be that they were working underground, so they were not detected by surveillance satellites and drones?"
"If that is the case, it does make sense. After all, the overhead reconnaissance satellite does not use the neutrino detection mode, so it will not detect the movement underground."
As the combat staff spoke, he frowned, and the confusion on his face did not change. Not less, but more,
"The question is, where did they get the manpower to do these things?"
"Remember the unmanned mechanical units operating in their camp?"
As soon as Norris said this , the combat staff’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“I told you how they had been airdropping construction materials some time ago. At that time, the intelligence staff was still wondering where they had used the building materials. Are their unmanned mechanized units so efficient?”
< br>“I don’t know, but it looks better than ours anyway.”
Norris closed the screen, took the initiative to end the topic, and then looked at the combat situation diagram aside.
Currently, the 162nd Heavy Combined Battalion under his command has formed a battle formation according to the plan after the conflict and launched an attack on Atlas's camp.
Although the Atlas Operation in Camp 5 has increased from 1 to 4 after the increase in troops some time ago, the federal army mobilized two in order to eat up the entire Camp 5. The troops from the brigade came and had an absolute advantage in strength.
So the planned combat plan on the federal side is not complicated. Once a conflict breaks out, the 'forward attack battalions' in all directions can directly break through. But the sudden emergence of semi-permanent defensive positions quickly brought this plan to naught. The heavy particle cannon and electromagnetic reconnection cannon mounted on the fixed turret became a nightmare for the charging armored forces.
There were originally some main battle tanks and the following HCPs ready to try to counterattack, but when the dazzling white light flashed directly in front of these fixed turrets under their attack, many tank commanders and HCP pilots finally couldn't help but curse. The voice came:
“TMD, what a spiny turtle shell!”
After the armored companies and HCP troops responsible for opening the road in each battalion suffered more or less losses, the attack was finally called off. .
The commanders of the four 'forward attack battalions' who originally planned to launch the first round of attacks will finally realize that the Atlas troops in front of them and those private military companies who have no structure in fighting seem to be incompatible. Too same.
They came prepared.
——
When the battalion commanders of these forward attack battalions withdrew the offensive troops, gave up the "one wave" style of play, and prepared to start firepower preparations according to the conventional combat plan.
The federal psychic agent codenamed "The Hanged Man" is on the most exciting escape of his life.
120-pound artillery shells continued to explode near him, and the explosion was about to fall directly on his head from the "little threat" at the beginning.
Obviously, his approximate location has been locked by Atlas's people, and he is now being covered and shot by the opponent's fire team.
This situation was something he had never experienced since leaving the military academy.
The biggest reliance of psychic agents on the battlefield, turning into reapers to harvest the lives of high-value targets, is their optical and infrared stealth capabilities, which can make them undetectable by most ground detection methods.
The same goes for the opposite. After someone discovers his location, if the squad-level battle like Amber's on the Robert 4 goes well, the psychic agent can still rely on his own equipment and psychic powers. Kill all around'.
But in the face of a large amount of heavy firepower, without the assistance of other friendly units, psychic agents are just a kind of 'advanced infantry'.
What the Hanged Man didn't even expect was that Atlas's ground troops had already been familiar with the 'Anti-psionic Combat Manual' produced by Amber.
What is recorded in this manual are all 'little tips' for players to use against Federation psionic agents and Imperial psionic commandos at low levels.
At that time, players did not have technology like 'Psychic Detection Radar', so they always asked the highest-level psyker in the team to go up to 'Metal Reconnaissance' to discover psionic agents or psionic assaults. At the rear of the team, they never entangled but directly called the rear for fire coverage.
Now, except for the penetration reconnaissance vehicle of the teaching team using new technologies to conduct investigations, the other processes are not much different from those at that time
The people in the penetration reconnaissance vehicle, As they watched a round of 155mm high-explosive bombs fired by a self-propelled artillery company set off a puff of smoke and dust at the impact point, a series of light spots with white trails suddenly flashed across the sky, causing alarm bells to ring in their hearts.
Wait until they saw the plasma fireballs bursting out in mid-air in the direction of the refugee camps behind them, and the deflection force field that was like a 'shield' made of electric arcs, protecting the refugee camps and outposts. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief again.
"The Federation has no bottom line when it comes to directly attacking the refugee camps from a distance."
"But then again, how did you create such a large deflection field?"
——
"TMD, who can tell me how such a large deflection field was created?!"
In the federal army's ground headquarters, Lieutenant General Van Fleet looked at the front The scene returned by the drone that went to conduct damage assessment fell into a crazy situation.
He finally made up his mind to let two long-range rocket battalions carry out coverage strikes on Refugee Camp No. 5. Unexpectedly, deflection fields appeared out of thin air to intercept and detonate them in advance.
This round of salvo fires are all plasma warheads, which mainly rely on the formation of high-temperature plasma fireballs after explosions to kill. There are no prefabricated fragments in the warheads, so they will cause damage to the ground after being detonated in advance. It can only be said to be minimal.
Others in the command center looked at each other, but no one could answer Van Fleet’s question.
If Amber knew the reason why the lieutenant general was going crazy at this time, he would definitely say with excitement:
"It's a fusion furnace! I added a fusion furnace!"
Of course, Amber could not stand in front of Van Fleet at this time and tell him how he airdropped a complete set of fusion furnace components to the ground, and how he reduced the instantaneous output to expand the coverage of the deflection force field for specialized defense. Direct fire strike
Because he is currently mobilizing the pre-war mobilization of Gnakuli and other members of the HCP force on the Hermes, and the Atlas fleet is about to launch a long-range rocket attack on the federal military. Refugee camp behavior responds.
Soon, the Federation battleship in the outer space orbit of Para 4 saw two Atlas light cruisers begin to lower their altitude, and at the same time, the optical camouflage components of the ship's hull were also displayed on the sides. A line of text:
"Since you are doing this, then we no longer need to pretend to be a gentleman."
