Chapter 434 Attack and Defense of A. Bawa Ku Fortress (Part 1)
Two fully-manned federal naval fleets are indeed a comparison to Atlas’ outer space defense force at the moment. Troublesome existence.
Although Atlas's defense forces are much higher in quality and comprehensive combat effectiveness than the combined fleet of the military-industrial complex, there are still too many ships that cannot hold up against the opponent's ships.
Just like the classic "more than 50,000 pigs", such a large number of enemy troops cannot be defeated in a short time even if they are used as targets.
So this directly led to the fact that after the two fleets of the Federation entered the field, Atlas really could not spare any extra force to fight, and the small number of fortress garrison fleets could only maintain maneuvers near the fortress. , relying on the fortress's own defensive weapons to intercept the assault of the federal navy fleet.
But this level of defense could not stop the assault of the two fleets, and they quickly broke through the 3,000-kilometer red line zone.
Immediately, the 23rd and 24th fleets released a large number of shipborne HCPs and swooped towards the fortress, followed by more than 600 assault boats full of marines. Dr. Fisto and the Special Task Force are also on one of the landing craft.
Seeing this scene, Guterres in the core command room immediately realized that he might not be able to stop it. He immediately asked other Atlas employees around him: "That 'decomposition ray' just now" Can it still be launched? "
" The mining operation department replied that it was recharging shortly after the self-test was completed, and the full power irradiation just used up all the energy reserved by the device. , so it is expected to take at least an hour and a half.”
“No, it’s too late”
Guterres firmly grasped the handrail in front of him. On the battlefield monitoring screens on several large screens in front, the fortress defense firepower and garrison fleet were now switching fire according to his previous instructions.
But the morale, organization and fighting will of the ship-borne HCP released by the federal fleet are obviously not comparable to the 'private soldiers' of the military-industrial complex.
And the opponent's HCP combat commander obviously knows the goal of this mission and the positioning of the HCP combat force in this mission.
So most shipboard HCPs carry heavy laminated armor shields to attack, and form a large number of 'human shields' in dense formations of multiple people, which can withstand a large number of attacks, leaving the rear The assault boats can hide behind them and approach the fortress safely.
"Van Fleet, I may not be able to stop the federal assault troops from forcing a landing. You need to be prepared."
"Humph, I knew your side was unreliable. The internal defense forces of the fortress have been prepared, but the problem now is that the defense area we need to deal with is too large, and the manpower may be insufficient."
In Osha Under Na's guidance, Van Fleet, who put on the 'Crocodile A3-C' command specialized heavy power armor, replied while checking the electromagnetic machine gun in his hand.
"Furthermore, the fighting intensity within the fortress is strictly limited. I don't know what the federal assault troops are planning, but we certainly don't want to blow up the fortress in a hurry."
"Then what are you going to do?"
"I have just discussed it with the commander of the fortress defense force."
Van Fleet glanced at Osana, who was not far away holding a heavy shield and a plasma halberd. The latter was checking the defense equipment in the area on a terminal.
“We are preparing to drain the air from all areas of the fortress except the living area and core control area, and inject inert gases and anaerobic molecules to weaken the effectiveness of the weapon oxidizer as much as possible, and at the same time turn off the gravity control in these areas Unit, slow down the attack speed of the federal assault force until the next attack of the fortress' main weapon."
At this point, Van Fleet reacted and asked one more question: "Exit the fortress' main weapon. How long will it take for an attack?”
“At least one and a half hours”
“Fuck, why does it take so long?”
Van Fleet was stunned for a moment. Obviously this time exceeded his previous expectation, but he quickly calmed down and finally said:
"Just one and a half hours, anyway, we will try our best. Use all your strength to block the attack of the federal assault force. I believe that the federation cannot let these two newly formed fleets be lost here, so as long as the threat or casualties exceed the threshold, these two fleets will definitely withdraw."
"I think so too"
Guterres looked at Van Fleet in the communication interface and was very emotional. Since the conflict on Para 4 ended, he never thought that he would Playing alongside VanVleet again.
And still under the ‘flag’ of Atlas
"I wish you good luck, Lieutenant General."
"You too, but don't die."
——
"Approaching the target fortress! Distance 1100, full range "The team maintains its formation!"
In the dim assault boat crew compartment, Dr. Mephisto, who is wearing a full combat exoskeleton like everyone around him, is under pressure while the assault boat is constantly maneuvering irregularly during the penetration. I let go of the fear in my heart and the physical nausea.
After detecting that various indicators of his body exceeded the standard value, the combat exoskeleton automatically released some stabilizing gases through the oxygen supply unit - this is also a release method used in special circumstances. If it is stable, On the ground, this will be a more efficient and faster intramuscular injection.
Others in the crew cabin, including the Marine Special Task Force, may feel that Dr. Mephisto personally participated in the assault, although they may feel that this old man is a bit of a 'burden', but for someone like him I still admire the characters for daring to do this kind of thing.
So after the captain noticed that Dr. Mephisto was a little nervous through the command interface, he took the initiative to comfort him:
"Doctor, don't worry! Just hold on, we will arrive soon. Fortress! Our assault force has obviously exceeded the opponent's defensive firepower threshold, so there is no need to worry about being intercepted."
But before the captain could finish his words of comfort, the assault boat suddenly made a swift evasion. Maneuvering, the assault boat pilot's voice also sounded on the cabin broadcast.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this flight is about to arrive at the terminal, but unfortunately some 'guests' have come to the door, so there will be a slight bump in the final stage of the breakthrough. Please pay attention to deal with it~"
"Fuck"
"Captain, how many times has your crow's mouth come true? Please don't say it again next time, thank you!"
"That's right, if you didn't say it just now, this would be possible We have all achieved a breakthrough.”
The team members were chatting with each other one by one, and there was no sign of any nervousness in their cheerful voices.
Dr. Mephisto's use of the stabilizing gas and the relaxed words of these marines also slightly alleviated some of the tension and fear.
He turned to look at the two seats at the end of the crew cabin. The passengers in these two seats were silent from beginning to end, just like two dummies, but Dr. Mephisto knew , they are actually two psychic agents specially transferred to participate in the assault operation.
At the same time, the entire assault boat made another large evasive maneuver. Under the violent shaking and the sudden increase in G-force, Dr. Mephisto looked at the panoramic view in front of the crew cabin with some difficulty. The display is showing the image of the optical sensor on the front of the assault boat in real time. At this moment, even he could clearly see a large number of light spots flying out of the A. Bawa Ku Fortress on the screen - those were the HCP troops coming to conduct terminal interception.
At the same time, the voice of the HCP squadron leader responsible for covering them also sounded in the assault boat pilot's earphones.
"I will lead my men to find a way to hold back these enemies, and you guys will find an opportunity to rush over."
As soon as the squadron leader finished speaking, everyone in the assault boat saw the HCPs in front of them as 'human shields' A round of volley was fired, and then they used almost all the long-range weapons on their bodies.
While opening a channel for the assault boats through long-range attacks, these HCPs quickly dispersed, and then uniformly removed the heavy swords mounted on their backs.
"321! It's now! Rush over!"
Amidst the roar of the squadron leader, he, as the leader of the entire squadron, took the lead in the blue light erupting from the back propulsion array. He rushed towards the approaching Atlas HCP.
The other HCPs in the squadron also accelerated forward and quickly got into a fight with the HCPs from Atlas who came to intercept.
The remaining assault boats did not dare to neglect at this moment. Under the exquisite control of the assault boat pilots, they smoothly broke through the area where a melee broke out quickly, and headed towards A. The Bawa Ku asteroid fortress is making its final push.
"Into the target in ten seconds! All personnel are prepared for impact!"
While reminding the marines, the assault boat driver also simultaneously turned on the assault boat's reverse thrust unit and began to slow down. , and activated the twin hot-melt ray components on the front end of the assault boat.
Nine seconds later, two blazing dark red rays were shot from the front end of the assault boat. After hitting the external hatch of the deployment bay that was the target, they quickly melted and penetrated it, and then successfully made the An assault boat carrying 'VIP' crashed into the deployment bay.
The Marine Special Task Team escorting Dr. Mephisto and other technical personnel has a total strength of about 1 company. Counting Dr. Mephisto and others, there are a total of 120 people, scattered on 6 assault boats.
In the end, only four assault boats crashed into the deployment bay. The other two were attacked by automatic defense weapons from the outside of the A. Bawa Ku Fortress at the last moment. After being unbalanced, they rolled directly. It hit the outer rock wall and everyone was killed.
When the four assault boats that successfully broke in crashed into the deployment bay, the explosive shells arranged in a circle around the bow of the boat exploded, smashing everything around them including the walls into sieves.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of anti-infrared thermal energy smoke grenades were fired, and soon a smoke wall was formed in front of the assault boat, and eventually formed a chain.
After completing these steps, the sensing unit sent out several consecutive pulse waves to detect, and quickly synchronized the results to the Marines' combat terminals.
At the same time, several carbon fiber cables were also shot out and rocket-assisted drill bits were driven into the surrounding bulkheads to fix the assault craft in a weightless environment.
“Remember the infiltration process, find cover and locate the enemy before firing. Move quickly. We Marines are not doctors who pay by time. Just follow us and hide yourself better. .”
The team leader was still making final arrangements, but a sudden attack interrupted his words again.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"
A large number of high-speed penetration rods hit the strong front structure of the assault boat. Naturally, these parts specially used as 'hammer heads' are not that It was easily penetrated by electromagnetic rifles, so the commandos were not in a hurry to get out.
The assault boat once again popped up several tire-sized disposable deflection field generators, which were fixed on the ground in the deployment bay under the action of the electromagnetic adsorption device. Then, several deflection force fields were quickly set up in front of the assault boat. .
At this time, the Marine Special Task Team activated the electromagnetic adsorption device on the soles of their feet and rushed out of the opened hatch one after another with a 'bounce'.
"Each squad is deployed in a 'V' formation and keeps moving along axis 664!
Technical sergeant! Turn on the motion detector and mark the approximate location of the enemy!
The fire team is preparing to carry out counter-suppression based on the bearing feedback!
Everyone pays attention to setting the communication gain to filter the radio frequency environment, and the electronic warfare team begins to try electronic jamming! ”
In the depths of the deployment bay, in a position covered by smoke, orange lines of fire were constantly being swept out through the smoke, but the deflection force field held up twisted most of the electromagnetic rifle firing rods, along with several The charged particle beams were also intercepted and fragmented.
However, this kind of disposable equipment without continuous power supply obviously could not last for too long. After only 1 minute, these disposable deflection force field generators stopped one after another. Operation.
But at this moment, the commandos who broke into the deployment bay also found their bunkers and began to counterattack in the direction marked by the technical sergeant.
The fire team members of the commando team. Equipped with heavy power armor, they all leaned out from behind the bunker, and then controlled the 25mm chain gun and loitering missile launcher mounted on the back of their shoulders to start suppressing fire in the direction of the enemy
<. br>
In a gravity-free environment where direct firepower such as mortars cannot be used, ballistic, directed energy and self-boosted weapons become the only options left.
Using 25mm programmed high-explosive bombs, 'fireworks' were quickly set off in the direction of the shooting, and several loitering bombs also barely adjusted their angles and crashed into them - in a weightless environment The individual cruise missile lacks a vector nozzle and relies mainly on aerodynamic rudders to control attitude, making it a bit clumsy to control.
However, several team members conducting fire suppression also quickly discovered that whether it was a high-explosive warhead or a loitering bomb, the final attack effect seemed a bit not 'powerful' enough, as if a punch was punched halfway. It's like it's boring.
"Captain, the enemy has filled a large amount of inert gas and anaerobic molecules here, and the explosion effect is a bit limited. We may only rely on pure kinetic energy to attack."
The formation of the fire team As the commander spoke, he directed his men to replace the chain gun's bullet chain with PELE bullets (lateral effect enhanced bullets), and then started shooting again.
But this time, the Atlas defense force also responded with a counterattack. As the anti-infrared thermal energy smoke slowly dispersed in the weightless environment, several high-energy lasers immediately swept in the direction of the commandos.
Whether it was a different team member or a fire team equipped with heavy power armor, after seeing the colors of these high-energy lasers, they knew that this thing could not resist, and immediately gave up the attack and hid in the bunker.
However, there were still a few unlucky guys and team members who were a little slow to react, and were swept into two pieces by the high-energy laser.
Seeing that the commando team was suppressed here, the captain also looked at the rear of the assault boat with some anxiety, and shouted in the communication channel:
"TMD! The 'Wolf Dog' is not here yet. Are you ready? If you don’t come here, you’ll be collecting the corpses for us!”
"It's coming, it's coming! Prepare to coordinate the attack!"
