Chapter 497 Who is it? It's really hard to guess
Although the armed forces of the Renaissance Alliance are a mixed force of military and police, their ability to fight tough battles is relatively weak, and it is difficult to crack hard bones.
But with their superior strength, they will have no problem fighting a smooth battle.
In particular, the four Immortal tactical teams airdropped by Atlas wreaked havoc on the four main defense lines of General Lampard's forces, causing tension and confusion in the enemy's troop deployment. The troops finally fought a relatively smooth offensive battle.
Before this, an important reason why the Renaissance Alliance could not launch an offensive was that they lacked HCP pilots with rich actual combat experience who could pull and dance on a long front.
As the absolute assault core in current ground operations, HCP is indispensable in offensive combat.
Rely on its extremely high mobility to wander around the battle line, and then use ferocious firepower to devour all incoming enemies, or gather these steel giants and tear them apart as a sharp spear The enemy's defense line.
In short, the HCP, who was basically cannon fodder in space fleet battles, suddenly became the 'protagonist' that attracted much attention in ground battles.
But unfortunately, there is a huge lack of such 'protagonists' in the armed forces of the Renaissance Alliance.
Before the large-scale armed rebellion broke out in the Lubion system, the HCP troops were in urgent need of supplementation among the rebuilt garrison.
And what's missing is not the body, but the pilot.
Most of the HCP pilots who survived previous wars have been integrated into several main forces. More than half of these troops are still in the hands of the government forces and are currently firmly defending the Rubin Five. The 'absolute defense line' of the administrative capital.
The rest, together with some rookie pilots who had just completed their training and were added to the team, formed the main assault force in the hands of various 'rebels'.
So in the duel between these 'rebels', the 'winner' will largely depend on the proportion of 'old Ass' in the HCP pilot teams of both sides.
Often forces with more experienced HCP pilots can gain an advantage in the battle and eventually turn it into victory.
Unfortunately, the HCP team of the Renaissance Alliance can basically be ranked in the bottom echelon in terms of the proportion of "old Ass".
As for General Lampard opposite them, there are even several real ACEs among the HCP pilots under his command
To this day, when the ground troops of the Renaissance Alliance passed them, they looked away for a long time. After reaching a desperate position, they finally realized that the opponent's HCP troops seemed to be on vacation for the most part. The few HCPs that occasionally appeared and tried to block the attack were repelled by the overwhelming firepower.
"Quick, quick, quick! The deep attack battalion continues to advance! The second and fourth HCP companies coordinate from the flanks!"
"The forward attack battalion rests in the occupied position, waiting for the mobile group to arrive and Accept supplies and repairs! ”
"The enemy's HCP troops seem to have been dispersed! Each attacking force seized the opportunity to defeat them separately!"
"The forward pointing and long-range artillery groups began to move forward, pay attention to the hiding points marked on the reference map!"< br>
One after another orders were passed among the various armies of the Renaissance Alliance. This army, which had not tasted a hearty attack for a long time, was attacking like a sudden burst of rain after a long drought, intending to occupy more areas before the enemy counterattacked. Many battlefields.
Then they calmly switched to the defensive battle they were best at
Amber, who had been watching the battle in the virtual space, was surprised to find that the four immortal battle groups dropped by air had achieved better results than him. It was bigger than expected.
Including Baninger's group, three groups have successfully destroyed the fusion furnace substation or tactical support factory in the enemy's logistics node.
The remaining group that did not achieve similar results was actually not idle. They directly set off fireworks at the ammunition depot in the logistics node, and successfully eliminated a large number of weapons in the node before all members returned to Valhalla. The defenders even included 4 HCPs. This is also the reason why the offensive forces of the Renaissance Alliance did not encounter too many enemy HCPs. Most of the HCPs under General Lampard were forced to disperse for support when the news that the four position groups were attacked.
And when they finally 'killed' the enemies who attacked various logistics nodes, and were about to return to the front line to assist in the defense, they discovered that most of the forward positions had been lost, and the opponent was pressing forward. The surging firepower of the heavily armed troops also completely dispelled the idea of these HCP troops continuing to attack.
After fighting all night and day, although the armed forces of the Renaissance Alliance still suffered a lot of losses during the attack, they successfully captured three of the four positions.
The remaining one was the position that Baninger and the others attacked before. After the fusion furnace substation was demolished by a heavy particle cannon from our own HCP, the strategic value of this logistics node has been infinitely reduced to zero.
The forces under General Lampard had previously surrounded the Renaissance Alliance. When the latter attacked across the board and achieved a lot of results, they fell into a "big disadvantage" of fighting on their own.
You see, this is the consequence of lack of defensive depth.
——
When the armored command vehicle Franklin was riding in drove into a certain tactical node of the opponent, the trend of frequent good news was still maintained on all fronts.
At present, this enemy's tactical node has been quickly transformed into a basic command post, and the command level of the Renaissance Alliance's armed forces has also been transferred there one after another.
Field air defense, long-range artillery and several extremely precious tactical missile launchers were also secretly moved nearby to deploy and complete battlefield camouflage.
An old officer in charge of commanding the entire armed forces in Ji Zhili had actually criticized Franklin's direct involvement in combat command before, but after the results of the victory were before his eyes, the way he looked at Franklin had changed.
In his opinion, he had underestimated Franklin too much before. The supreme leader of the Renaissance Alliance may have many trump cards, and the orbital airdrop that broke the deadlock last night was probably just one of them.
After a brief communication with the officers of Key Point, Franklin, accompanied by Eleanor, came to a huge wreckage in the tactical node that had not been dealt with.
The wreckage of this large humanoid unit was blasted away by heavy particle cannons on the entire right side, leaving only the mechanical arm, stepping unit and part of the torso on the left with a barely discernible appearance.
“This is one of the mysterious troops that carried out orbital airdrop last night. It is a little larger than heavy power armor, but much smaller than HCP. It is a new type of unit that we have never seen before. It can Confirmed that it is not a unit under General Randall's command."
Eleanor pointed to the remains of a power armor that was almost crushed in the power fist on the left mechanical arm of the wreckage.
This power armor is a common model of the Federation, and the arm armor also has the iconic 'crossed dagger' logo of General Randall's troops.
“But our people have checked the wreckage. There are no markings on the outer armor except camouflage, and no information can be found on the internal parts to prove the identity or origin. The other party can Hides all information that may reveal identity
What's even more outrageous is that no biological tissue samples were found inside the wreckage. Although they were only briefly examined, the person in charge of the inspection said that even if they were towed to a specialized laboratory, they probably wouldn't be able to find them.
This also means that there is no pilot inside this unknown unit, but an unmanned unit."
After saying that, Eleanor looked at Franklin with some confusion: "These The combination of information is so strange. Whose army do you think this could be? Self-government or federation? Or is it other forces on the planet? But the premise is that they still have troops in orbit that can be mobilized."
Franklin looked at the wreckage in front of him blankly. He didn't know what he was thinking about at the moment, and he was just a little dazed when facing the girl's question. He said:
“Yes, whose army is this? It’s really hard to guess”
