Chapter 495 Questioner
The scream of plasma rockets was like an alarm bell that sounded at 4 o'clock in the morning, causing the soldiers on the logistics node defense position to wake up instantly.
In the process of going from being confused to waking up, the unavoidable physiological reactions of rapid breathing and rapid heartbeat made me unable to realize what was happening for a while, but when the plasma rocket hit the ground and exploded into a blue-white fireball , and after burning the unlucky guy in the hit area into a puddle of incomprehensible charcoal, they finally came to their senses.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone is ready to fight!"
The officer on duty at the front shouted in the communication channel, and then immediately discovered that their communication had been interfered with at some point.
At the same time, a communications soldier from the communications support company deployed at this logistics node also ran over and reported that the intranet was attacked by an unknown electronic warfare virus.
However, the internal network of this army has been physically isolated from the external network a long time ago, so in theory it is basically difficult to destroy it through remote network attacks, so they suspect that a device connected to the internal network has been compromised. People are black.
The officer on duty suddenly felt what it means to have a leaky house and rain all night long, but he still tried his best to calm down, then rushed into the armored command vehicle in deployment mode, and loudly ordered through the loudspeaker :
"Emergency activation of blue-green laser communications on all nodes! One battalion unit is dispatched to help the communications support company conduct investigations! Find a way to contact the other two tactical nodes. If it doesn't work, send me a flare!"
There is nothing wrong with the order of the officer on duty. It can even be said that it was deployed in strict accordance with emergency combat regulations. However, when the soldiers were extremely matched and highly nervous, there was a problem with the efficiency of execution.
The process of allocating laser communication codes to each department took nearly four times as long. When the various units on the defensive position regained contact, Banninger's second wave of attacks also came.
In the battle group of the Immortal Legion, the combat body, in addition to serving as an auxiliary combat unit controlled by the Immortals, is also responsible for carrying some equipment, weapons and ammunition needed in battle.
Just like now, the combat bodies set up two portable automatic plasma rocket launch nests at the location designated by Baninger. After just firing the first round of rockets, the remaining ammunition was even Two more volleys can be fired.
After completing the settings of the rocket nest, these combat bodies also left the launch position, following Baninger and Memphis in preparation for launching an attack.
As the scream of plasma rockets pierced the air sounded again, these 'little cuties' with trails passed over Baninger's heads in the faint morning light.
Although many of the rockets were hit by the laser close-in defense system that responded, most of the rockets still landed successfully, and then exploded into clusters of plasma fireballs on the defenders' position and formed a wall of light.
While causing damage and chaos, the wall of light also became Baninger's best cover.
The defenders at the logistics node never figured out why they were attacked by plasma rockets. In the view of the officer on duty, whether it was the Renaissance Alliance troops or the mysterious troops dropped by air , it is impossible to advance to the vicinity of the logistics node without being discovered, let alone set up a rocket launch site nearby.
Of course, neither he nor General Lampard and his staff would have thought that Baninger and the others had grasped the vitality of the position structure.
This is as outrageous as if you were to take an exam and find out that the person who gave the question personally took the exam with you.
After the high-temperature fireballs created by the plasma rockets burned out, the defenders on the western defensive position saw two five-meter-high power armors destroying an armored wall on the outside, and then brought sixteen heavy power armors with them. He rushed up directly.
The two multi-legged tanks closest to the gap were knocked back to parts by salvos of multiple electromagnetic cannons without even reacting.
The two squads of soldiers who were assisting the defense around them were helpless and turned into pieces of flesh and blood on the bunker next to them when they were fired by electromagnetic machine guns.
For the defenders, this scene was like a picture of hell, especially the two five-meter-high power armors with dark brown traces of oil or blood on their bodies. Look through the viewfinder on their heads. After heading in the direction where you are. Perhaps even Baninger and the others did not expect that this round of assault would be so effective. They expanded the gap faster than expected and advanced towards the substation at the core of the node.
Since heavy equipment, including main battle tanks and heavy multi-legged combat vehicles, are deployed at the other two tactical nodes and the frontal defense line, the defense force of this logistics node is also the weakest.
The only two heavy particle turrets were also taken care of during the previous two rounds of rocket attacks. Although they were not directly destroyed, the defenders did not need to expect them to fire again in a short period of time. .
Just as Baninger and Memphis continued to advance with their combat bodies, Grace's voice suddenly sounded on the communication channel.
"Legion Commander, there is a HCP three-machine formation approaching rapidly from the east. It should be the opponent's mobile force deployed on the defense line. It is expected to arrive at this node in 2 minutes!"
“It’s pretty fast. The reaction speed is not too slow.”
Baninger was still a little surprised by the opponent's reaction speed. After all, it was so different from the defender's hip-stretching performance at the logistics node position.
But he didn't think much about it. Anyway, the mission of his combat team was simply to cause destruction. It was naturally a good thing to attract the opponent's precious mobile troops.
"Grace, reset the coordinates of the rocket nest's third attack round, adjust it to the direction supported by the opponent's HCP. At the same time, you use manual commands to control the launch. When the opponent's HCP arrives, use rockets to cover it to buy time. !”
Grace nodded in agreement, and then immediately accessed the rocket nest’s control program to reset it, and Baninger also continued in the communication channel:
“Andes, take control of it yourself. Time to fire!”
"Roger!"
While deploying, Baninger and Memphis also used the Dauntless armor and deflection field as a cover to cover part of the combat body and moved towards the substation.
As the core of the logistics node, the vicinity of the substation is naturally heavily guarded. Although there are no heavy units, the dispersed positions of multiple anti-armor groups still suppressed the attack of the combat body.
However, Banninger and the others did not originally intend to use their combat bodies to destroy the substation. In addition to attracting firepower from the defenders, the mission of these puppets was to project a large number of tennis-like micro-robots before they were destroyed. Entering the scope of the substation, the building structure of the substation was quickly scanned.
This information was quickly synchronized to the Andes. At this moment, in his eyes, the temporary substation had become translucent, and the fusion furnace inside the building was clearly visible!
To the east of the logistics node, three blue-gray-painted 'Steppenwolves' finally entered the node after an emergency stop and deceleration. However, the sudden 'projected weapons' warning signal caused the three HCPs to disperse quickly before they could stop. Then use the laser close-in defense weapons on both sides of the head viewfinder to start attacking rockets coming from the air.
With the cooperation of the laser weapons at the node position, the effect of this third round of plasma rockets was much worse than the first two rounds. Most of them were destroyed in the air, and the few rockets that successfully landed did not actually cause any damage. What harm.
Just when the three HCP pilots relaxed a little and prepared to deal with Baninger and the others, the alarm sounded again in the cockpit.
"Warning! Strong magnetic field response detected!"
Immediately afterwards, two orange-red fire lines flew out from the distant forest and penetrated the substation in the next second. The outer structure then made a precise hit on the fusion furnace at the core.
