Chapter 437 As long as we can get to that place
Rear Admiral Mueller’s guess about Amber was not wrong. At this time, although he had already ‘killed’ a heavy cruiser, a light cruiser and several destroyers with his sword and frigates, but his attack was indeed just a test.
According to Amber's aggressive style when driving HCP and in other situations, if he had ended the test, he should have rushed to kill the flagships of the two fleets this time.
Despite this, Amber and other Atlas troops still caused a lot of trouble to the two federal fleets. With the support of the fortress defense weapons, not only did the federal fleet dare not continue to get closer, distance, but also caused considerable damage to the assault boats they released.
Originally, the third wave of assault boats released by the federal fleet carried many light armored units dedicated to fortress breakthroughs. However, under the interception of Amber and others, less than 30% of the assault boats succeeded in the end. Following the path opened by the previous two waves of assault boats, they rushed into the interior of the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress.
So far, less than 60% of the units in the first three waves of assault troops have completed the landing. According to the information sent back by Van Fleet, the size of the federal assault troops discovered so far is about 1,500, and there are still four More than a dozen new multi-legged combat vehicles and a large number of unmanned spider machines.
According to Van Fleet, those unmanned spider machines that use multi-legged chariots as core nodes to accompany the movement were created by the Federal Army Equipment Research Center in imitation of the 'worker bees' here in Atlas. Self-regulatory unit.
However, due to technical limitations, this unmanned spider machine is not as intelligent as a 'worker bee', so a multi-legged chariot is needed as a core node to direct actions.
In addition, Van Fleet also reported that many federal special operations units went into hiding after entering the fortress, and continued to infiltrate into the fortress. Many units encountered these The defense forces of the special operations units suffered relatively large casualties.
Of course, the most critical point is that these defense forces have confirmed that there are psykers among these federal special operations units.
"It seems that there are also psychic agents dispatched?" Amber took the time to ask in the communication channel while the body deflected the force field to resist several charged particle beams.
“Eighty percent is correct.” Van Fleet said in the communication channel:
“Unless the Federation has formed some special forces that I don’t know about, otherwise, according to the characteristics reported by the defense forces, , these psykers should be psionic agents, and the special operations units they lead are the 'Deep Diver' special operations forces that specialize in cooperating with psionic agents."
Hearing from this Army Lieutenant When the name of the special operations force was mentioned, Amber's brows jumped unconsciously.
Because the name "Deep Diver" was also impressive to him. In the previous game "Star Sky Online", the "Deep Diver" special forces unit was considered a famous "dung monster".
He has a high desire to attack, strong tactical coordination, and well-equipped equipment. The most important thing is that as long as he encounters the 'deep diver', it means that psychic agents will soon join the battle
After a moment, he immediately spoke Said:
"Let the defense forces not confront them head-on, and withdraw when necessary. Let's follow the previous arrangements and find a way to lead them to the data center."
"Understood. But speaking of it, there is no need to deliberately lure them. The other party should have found the approximate location of the data center. Most of the federal forces that have broken in are rushing in that direction, and they are also organizing to prevent the defense forces from supporting the data center. ."
Van Fleet frowned and looked at the real-time situation map on the command interface, and asked with some confusion:
"Mr. Amber, are you sure you're just going to let them pass? To be honest, fighting in such terrain inside the fortress will greatly amplify the combat effectiveness of these special operations units."
"It doesn't matter, we have already arranged the 'professional Team', just let the defense forces cooperate and surround them when the time comes."
Amber responded in the communication channel, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh after remembering Lilith's "backhand" admitted to him before. .
——
When Amber and Van Fleet ended their communication and led the assembled HCP troops to intercept the fourth batch of assault boats released by the federal fleet, A.B. The battle in the Vaku asteroid fortress also reached its most intense moment.
Dr. Mephisto and the special task force that escorted him - the 'deep divers' troops in Amber and Van Fleet's mouth - quickly passed through the invasion after forcing back Atlas's defense forces. The 'Area Navigation Map' inside the fortress provides the general location of the data center.
And in the process, they completed the rendezvous with the other two 'Deep Diver' troops, and at the same time, the number of psychic agents in the team also came to six.
This kind of combat power has great advantages in all aspects in the relatively narrow and closed environment inside the asteroid fortress.
After all, these psychic agents in A. Bawa Ku will not be covered by the firepower of the 155 self-propelled artillery group like the 'Hanged Man' on the Para IV.
The advance of the federal assault force is relatively smooth so far. On the other hand, the pressure on Atlas's defensive force suddenly increased.
Needless to say, the defense forces blocking the Deep Diver from the front have basically been fighting and retreating, trying to minimize casualties while trying to find ways to hinder the Advancement of the Deep Diver.
The other defense forces were not much better. The assault forces entering the fortress seemed to have re-deployed their tactics and began to obstruct the defense forces' support for the data center.
"Doctor, we are close to the data center. You and your technical staff can be prepared. The enemy will definitely counterattack after we complete the breakthrough. We may not be able to hold on for too long"< br>
At the corner of a passage near the data center, the frontline commander of the 'Deep Diver' pulled Mephisto, who had accidentally floated into the air, to his side, and quickly explained the arrangements for a while. .
While he was speaking, the two psychic agents also directly propped up the psychic shield, and then rushed into the passage with a psychic impact to 'open the way'.
Following their movements, many 'Deep Diver' special forces members and spider robots also rushed out, and a 'Wolfhound' also leaned out from the corner and turned the turret to aim the charged particle cannon. .
"I've made preparations here. As long as you can send us in, we can get it done in 10 minutes at most!"
There was a hint of trembling in Dr. Mephisto's words. For this elderly scientific researcher who has never been on the battlefield, the first time he went to the battlefield was so exciting that he broke into the fortress and fought. Now that he has not lost control on the spot, he has a relatively strong psychological quality and physical function.
"Okay, doctor, get ready, I'll be here in a few minutes"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Several consecutive explosions were heard along the passage. Even though the combat exoskeleton helmets of everyone present were equipped with vacuum layers, they still heard the explosions.
Dr. Mephisto and the captain of the 'Deep Diver' turned their heads and looked in the direction of the passage. They saw that the 'Wolfhound', which had been showing off just now and was about to be irradiated with a charged particle cannon, had now lost its ability. It floated towards the other side of the passage in a controlled manner. From time to time, a mixture of engine oil and blood floated out of the two large through-holes in the car body.
At the same time, the 'deep divers' who were attacking a minute ago retreated again under the cover of psychic agents, and dropped a large number of corpses in the passage.
At this moment, these special forces and psychic agents are pouring firepower into the passage like crazy, seeming to be blocking something.
The 'Deep Diver' commander, who had never thought of encountering such a situation, immediately accessed the command interface to view the battle video.
I saw that there were many things similar to 'secret doors' opened on the inner wall of the seemingly ordinary passage. There were more than a dozen heavy powered armors that seemed to be hidden in the wall before and an unknown one that looked larger. The armored units, under the cover of a larger number of 'Soldier Bees', were launching a counter-charge towards the 'Deep Divers'.
"Wait. What kind of weird thing is this?"
The commander of the 'Deep Diver' looked at these sudden appearance units with some surprise. Heavy power armor and those autonomous mechanical units were all It's easy to say, it was mentioned in the intelligence sharing meeting before the war.
But he had never seen a humanoid armored unit that was between heavy power armor and HCP and less than 5 meters tall.
At this moment, one of the unknown armored units is suppressing it with an electromagnetic multi-barreled machine gun that has replaced the right mechanical arm. The two electromagnetic reconnection cannons deployed behind it are also eyeing this direction at any time. Get ready to fire.
Soon, the high-speed electromagnetic multi-barreled machine gun stopped shooting and suddenly emitted a burst of white smoke, which seemed to be undergoing emergency heat dissipation. At this moment, a psychic agent at the entrance of the passage shot out with electricity. With the help of his own explosion and individual propulsion device, he turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the tall, heavy unit.
Then
No more, the commander of the 'Deep Diver' looked at the supposedly bulky heavy armored unit in surprise, and suddenly locked on the flying speed The psychic agent came.
The right arm that looked like a heavy mechanical glove hit the psychic agent’s face with such precision and speed. At this moment, a similar light flashed across the huge mechanical glove. Deflect the arc of the force field.
The next second, the psychic agent flew out of the passage at a faster speed, and finally hit the wall hard and passed out. After seeing this, other people present even felt that they There was an auditory hallucination of 'Pack' in my ears
"What the hell is going on?!"
Looking at the spirit who was smashed into the wall, his body was twisted The capable agent, the deep diver commander who was originally just a little surprised, was completely dumbfounded.
He never expected that such a powerful unit would suddenly appear near the target fortress data center. According to common sense, shouldn't such defense forces be deployed in the outer area where the enemy is first encountered?
Then he thought that the previous terrain scanning and motion detection had not found these units, and then he suddenly realized that he and his team might have fallen into a well-prepared trap?
The opponent has obviously guessed the goal of their team, so it is expected to deploy these high-strength units in the outer area. It is better to hide secretly on their only way like now.
"Sir, the wall The special anti-detection material is used, and there is a special coating on the outside, so we have not detected these units before!"
A 'Deep Diver' team member who retreated from the entrance came here! Behind the commander, he said loudly against his tactical visor.
"It is indeed a trap."
"Sir, what should we do now?!" The team member then asked, and at the same time, another psychic agent floated over and continued. Said:
"No matter what the situation is now, our mission is the first priority and cannot be changed. If you can continue to command the troops to attack, the other two brothers and I will do our best to support the battle, and then you will find an opportunity to send the doctor and others Get in!”
This psychic agent, who had been relatively silent in many previous cooperations between the two parties, rarely spoke a lot this time.
"As long as the doctors and the others can complete their mission, then we still have hope of making a comeback, otherwise we will be trapped and die here!"
Hearing the words of the psychic agent, 'Shen The commander of the Submarine nodded. Those who can enter the federal special operations unit and serve as commanders will naturally not be greedy for life, so he has no objection to the words of this psychic agent.
Just when he was about to arrange the attack waves to rush in and try to see if he could create an opportunity for the psychic agents, the other passage at the 'T'-shaped intersection suddenly became It became lively.
The commander of the 'Deep Diver' saw through the command interface that a detachment responsible for security at the far end of the passage exchanged fire with the incoming Atlas defense forces.
Among the Atlas defense forces that came to support, in addition to those infantry units, the proportion of heavy power armor was much higher this time, and some large unmanned units that provided direct fire support appeared.
If you include the defensive weapons that may be activated at any time, such an offensive combination is obviously beyond the capabilities of the security team, so the commander of the 'Deep Diver' also knows at this moment that time is running out.
"It's too late, we can only attack by force!" He looked at the psychic agent who was also watching him and continued:
"There are no bunkers in this passage, so there are no tactics. , I will directly lead a frontal attack to attract the opponent's attention, and you and other psychic agents will wait for an opportunity to escort the doctor and the others over!"
After speaking, the commander of the 'Deep Diver' patted the psychic agent on the shoulder and finally said: "I didn't expect you to talk a lot. I'll treat you to a drink after the battle is over."
< br>"Our psychic agents are prohibited"
This psychic agent just wanted to refute something, but the commander of the 'Deep Diver' did not give him this chance and directly led the surrounding 'Deep Divers' The players started a new round of attack.
"Prepare the one-time deflection force field and mobile shield! Pay attention to the offensive formation and attack in waves! Don't get the **** to crowd me!
'Wolf Dog' prepare fire support! Temporary deflection After the force field effect ends, go to the front!
The electronic warfare team, do your best, even if it can cause interference for just one second! "
While issuing the order, the commander of the 'Deep Diver' rushed to the edge of the passage and stood close to the wall. After seeing that everyone around him was ready, he forcefully lowered his arm.< br>
“Smoke cover! Attack detachment, attack with me! ”
“Dong dong dong dong dong! ”
After the order was given, a large number of smoke bombs were immediately thrown out by the electromagnetic projection devices equipped by other soldiers, and dense high-speed steel needle bullets were also shot from the other end of the channel, mixed with many high-energy laser beams.
Although many smoke bombs were exploded in the air before they could emit smoke, the remaining smoke bombs still successfully detonated, and the thick anti-infrared thermal energy smoke instantly filled the entire passage.
At the last moment before the smoke completely obscured it, two 'Wolfhounds' also popped out of the car body, one on the left and one on the right, and irradiated the number of charged particles from the 'gap' that had not been completely closed at the end. passed.
It was just that the crews of the two ‘Wolf Dogs’ also observed a chaotic arc of electricity flashing across the opposite side almost at the same time.
“Tsk, they also have deflection fields, and they don’t look disposable”
“Boom!”
One of the 'Wolf Dog' crews hadn't finished the strike assessment and observation. Two heavy-duty rods that passed through the smoke directly penetrated the body of the multi-legged chariot from beginning to end, followed by a scream. the entire channel.
"What a quick counterattack!"
The commander of the 'Deep Diver' felt a lot more sense of crisis when he saw this scene. The enemy in front of them was not only well-equipped, but And it is obvious that he has a lot of combat experience
The destruction of the 'Wolfhound' did not affect the attack of the 'Deep Divers'. They still threw out multiple one-time deflection fields forward according to the combat plan. The generator also deploys and fixes multiple laminated armor shields to the wall.
The fire suppression effect at the other end of the smoke was also greatly reduced with the construction of the temporary position. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the 'deep divers' also quickly took turns to cover and advance forward.
The psychic agents also floated forward, carrying Dr. Mephisto and other technical staff, just like they were carrying 'little chickens'.
But the sudden appearance of the Atlas defenders at the other end of the passage obviously would not let them advance so easily. With the roar of rocket boosters, the huge humanoid armored unit waved Fists flashing with arcs of electricity rushed out of the smoke.
It was still a punch that made it almost impossible to see the speed of the punch. Several members of the 'Deep Diver' who were hiding behind a mobile shield were hit together with the mobile shield they were hiding in. It flew away, and became charred black under the flashing arc of lightning.
As this unknown armored unit full of mechanical violence aesthetics blocked the passage like a wall, and used the large-caliber electromagnetic multi-barreled machine gun on its right arm to suppress it, at the same time, a rational , cold, and at the same time, the extremely familiar voices of the surrounding Atlas Defense Force soldiers sounded in the communication channel.
"Immortals, start attacking!"
