Chapter 369 Threat from Space
The target selection of the teaching team was communicated before the war.
Because even if the recoilless guns in their hands use armor-piercing projectiles, it is difficult to pose a threat to heavy armored units such as main battle tanks, heavy multi-legged tanks, or HCPs.
So when it comes to target selection for the first round of attacks launched by recoilless rifles, they gave up attacking these heavy units, and instead specifically targeted armored vehicles and dismounted infantry.
Especially communication node vehicles, command vehicles, ultra-short wave reconnaissance and interference vehicles, and field radars in march mode, which are high-value targets that look very expensive.
Soon, more than 20 82mm recoilless rifles and several individual anti-vehicle missile launchers fired violently at the front of the convoy that was in panic due to the attack.
The recoilless rifle that was upgraded to a magazine-fed mode has a greatly improved rate of fire, and the first 5-round magazine containing a mixture of armor-breaking and armor-piercing projectiles was also emptied.
The convoy under attack began to think of ways to turn around under Van Fleet's order, and some infantrymen on armored vehicles also jumped out of their vehicles to prepare for a counterattack on the spot.
At this time, everyone in the teaching team also put on the second magazine filled with programmed high-explosive bombs, and then aimed at the federal infantry hiding behind the armored vehicles.
The moment when the programmed high-explosive bombs, whose detonation distance was set by the members of the teaching team, passed over the armored vehicle and exploded on the heads of the federal soldiers, and pasted countless prefabricated fragments onto their tactical visors. .
Intelligent programmed ammunition gives the ancient weapon, the recoilless rifle, a "second spring" on this cruel and absurd battlefield.
At the same moment, the chaotic convoy caused a flaw in the protection of the command cabin vehicle by federal soldiers. A wheeled combat vehicle that turned around in advance gave Baninger a once-in-a-lifetime shooting opportunity. .
“Cover me!”
He yelled, while ignoring the federal armored units that had begun to counterattack the ambush positions on both sides, and quickly set up the armor that was originally folded behind his shoulders on his shoulders. Small electromagnetic reconnection cannon.
On the track that unfolded with a click, blue-white electric light began to flash, and this feature immediately attracted the attention of the federal troops.
A wheeled assault gun equipped with a 105 electrothermal chemical cannon quickly adjusted the direction of the turret and pointed at Baninger, who was slightly 'dazzling' on the battlefield.
The moment it fired, another heavy powered armor from the teaching team rushed into the beam between it and Baninger.
The maximum power of the single-man deflection force field was activated. Although he tried his best to deflect an incoming tail-stabilized discarding sabot projectile, the huge kinetic energy still knocked the powered armor upside down for several meters.
"Captain! It's now!"
Amidst the roars of the team members and the hail of bullets, Baninger calmly gave the shooting order at the moment the auxiliary aiming was completed.
The long-accumulated electric energy was converted into the kinetic energy of a tungsten alloy high-speed penetrating rod under the action of the accelerating track of the magnetic field. It flew through the battle zone with the momentum of tearing everything apart, and accurately hit the command cabin in the middle of the convoy. car.
The tungsten alloy rod carrying huge kinetic energy directly tore through most of the car body. The extremely high temperature of the rod directly caused the remaining part of the shelter car to light up with flames.
However, the sight of such a hit did not excite Banninger and other members of the teaching team. Instead, it made Baninger have a solemn expression on his face.
Because they zoomed in through the lens of the power armor sensor, they had already seen the empty internal structure of the 'Command Cabin Vehicle'.
“Fuck! This seems to be a bait!”
——
The conference room of the Federal Ministry of Defense building was filled with smoke.
After the conflict broke out between the federal army and Atlas on Para 4, the top brass of the CIA came here and watched with President Brandon, Secretary of Defense Miller and others. 'Live'.
“So now we can only watch the public live broadcast of Atlas to know the battle situation between our army and Atlas on Para 4?”
Brandon I put out the nearly burnt cigarette butt in the ashtray, and looked at the people in the conference room, the expression on my face was not very good.
"Really, from the first day I took office, I never expected to encounter such a ridiculous situation. If directors in the film and television industry make movies according to this script, some people will say it is too outrageous." "Your Excellency, the President, relevant departments We are already trying to crack this long-distance communication technology, and it may take a while.”
CIA Director Bernard said, as the head of the intelligence port, this can be done. The technology for real-time communication across galaxies is equally important to intelligence services.
"Time. Time. What we lack most now is time!"
Brandon knocked on the table, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"I said the same thing in my last report. It has been so long and there is no progress at all."
Due to the recent stalemate in the war, Brandon's temper has become much worse than before the war started. However, He quickly adjusted his emotions. After all, this meeting was not the right time to get angry.
After regaining his composure, he exhaled a breath, then raised his head and asked:
"Can anyone tell me how this 'farce' with Atlas should end? ? Don’t say that we can’t even deal with a private enterprise.”
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other. Finally, Director Bernard spoke.
"Your Excellency, with the temporary loss of real-time communication across galaxies, we are indeed unable to command operations in real time.
However, before the start of this operation, the CIA and the military have done a lot of work Plan, as long as the various forces in the Pyla Galaxy act according to the plan, I believe everything is still under our control."
"That is to say, we can only sit in this conference room now. It looks right, right?”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
Brandon smiled and shook his head, lying on the back of the chair as if he was deflated. It was as if he had suddenly become depressed.
"Okay. Then who can tell me what's going to happen next in this 'big drama'?"
——
"You confirmed that the Federation's orbital attack ship detachment has begun to take action. ?”
“Yes, Boss, the reconnaissance ship has just observed that they have separated from the main force and begun to lower their orbit. Judging from their actions, they should be entering the attack orbit.”
On a virtual screen in the HCP cockpit, Cliffs, who had put on a space suit, said with a solemn expression.
Amber, who was sitting in the cockpit assisting the self-inspection of the aircraft, also stopped what she was doing and let Lilith take over.
"It seems that our orbital strike has made the Federation anxious. Have the two light cruisers withdrawn?"
"The orbital altitude has been raised, and we are going to respond. The escort detachment has completed the rendezvous and is currently returning to the formation position."
Cliffs glanced at the screen on the side and continued:
"Boss, the federal fleet already knows. Our orbital strike means will definitely be on guard. If we want to carry out ground strikes again, we may need the entire fleet to cover it.”
"I know, so the fleet will temporarily suspend its ground attack and enter a defensive state to prepare for the attack of the federal fleet."
Amber said calmly, while controlling the HCP that had completed the self-test during this period, and moved towards Go to the lifting platform.
“What about the Federation’s orbital assault ships? The ground troops will not be able to withstand the tactical thermobaric bombs they launch!”
“It doesn’t matter, I will take action.”< br>
