Chapter 596, Battle of Betrayal
Fifteen minutes passed and Wang Mengsong was sweating profusely.
He didn't feel it before, but when he actually faced it, he realized that Wrath Flame...why was it so strong?
Isn't it just a battle group that was beaten violently by the phoenix?
Could it be that he is really his own group...impossible! I don't believe it!
Fifteen minutes ago, the two families, Raging Flame and New Age Torch, officially turned against each other, and the Raging Flame Chapter took action directly.
Not only were the soldiers from both sides on the plains of the valley, but Fury Yan also arranged firepower in the nearby mountains.
This was indeed a grand banquet, and Paulitos had no good intentions from the beginning.
Not only the Space Marines, they also mobilized some troops from the resistance. The Space Marines are definitely no match for frontal combat, but they can be used to operate artillery and conduct long-range bombardments. The firepower points are arranged from more than ten kilometers to dozens of kilometers away. Even if the New World Torch wants to deal with it, it is unrealistic.
Of course, Wang Mengsong must have come prepared.
He had already judged that Paulitos had bad intentions and was ready to surrender and stab him in the back. How could he come to the appointment rashly?
When Paulitos drew his sword at him, Wang Mengsong took out his gun first.
The explosive firepower covered Paulitos first.
And when the leader of the Raging Flames rushed out of the fire net and struck with his sword, what he encountered was a faint green sword glow in Wang Mengsong's hand.
In the three fights in an instant, Wang Mengsong aimed at Paulitos' fatal vitals with every move, but he never cared whether he would be slashed by the power sword.
Under this life-changing attitude, it stands to reason that Paulitos should not be afraid.
But in fact, he was really afraid.
His sword wounded Wang Mengsong; but the green weapon struck him and almost killed him.
The difference in weapons between the two is too huge.
He'd heard of phase weapons, but this was the first time he'd faced one personally.
He knew that Wang Mengsong himself did not have such a weapon.
Only the Alliance has it.
There is no need to say more about who gave this sword.
Paulitos already had a prediction in his mind, otherwise he would not have organized a Hongmen Banquet and invited Wang Mengsong to come.
Originally, he just wanted to take down the hidden danger of Wang Mengsong, deal with the unstable leader of the friendly army, and hold the New Age Torch in his hands. In order to achieve this goal, he didn't even think about killing him at first, he just put him under house arrest.
Until he knew that Wang Mengsong was bringing the whole group to the banquet, he felt very heavy.
Distrust is already on the table.
He just hopes it's not too late.
However, he was decisive enough, but... Wang Mengsong was even more decisive than him.
Just look at that phase weapon and everything is very clear.
Paulitos did not insist on deciding the outcome with Wang Mengsong.
In his opinion, Wang Mengsong's strength was just that. As a battle group leader, Ma Mahuhu can be regarded as a group champion.
But the problem is, so is he. After that bloody battle, he was indeed one of the strongest people in the Raging Flames, but before that, he was not considered the top in the Raging Flames.
Compared with Wang Mengsong, the two of them are evenly matched.
But if the difference in weapons is taken into account, his chances of winning are not high.
Wang Mengsong didn't bother too much. After Paulitos retreated and was less injured, he retreated to his own battle group.
Under fire, he led his team to retreat into the mountains and forests.
In this battle, his New Age Torch will definitely be the loser.
Not only were they at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and firepower, they were also at a complete disadvantage in terms of terrain. Just to retreat to the mountains, they sacrificed more than a dozen people.
But this is just the beginning.
Six hundred angry flames were pressing upwards, artillery fire was hitting their heads, and there were at least three hundred angry flames lying in ambush around them, surrounding them from all directions.
No matter how you look at it, this is a situation of group destruction.
If it were Wang Mengsong's own wish, he would definitely not do this job.
Come here to die?
But...this is a requirement of the alliance.
As a surrendering element, in order to win the approval of the governor, to prove his worth, and to get better treatment after surrender, what room for bargaining did he have?
He could only grit his teeth and come.
Of course, the Alliance still can't say, "Go and kill the Furious Flames."
Everyone knows that he doesn’t have that strength.
The mission of the New Age Torch is to firmly attract the enemy with a certain amount of sacrifice.
After he informed Gerrit that he was coming to see Paulitos, the Sister of the Holy Mercy Lily asked him to attend the appointment and at the same time asked him to hold on for at least fifteen minutes.
At the same time, the Holy Mercy Lily, the Glory Guards, the Alliance Army, the Alliance Navy...all the forces that Garrett can mobilize are already being mobilized.
But you can't be too showy to avoid being noticed.
Fortunately, the confidentiality operation does not need to last too long. After Paulitos and Wang Mengsong fall out, they can proceed at full speed.
It's just that you have to work a little harder on the New Age Torch.
Although there are disadvantages in all aspects, there are still 300 space warriors, and it lasts for 15 minutes. There is no problem, right? Not too many people will die, right?
Not necessarily.
Even though they had prepared in advance, they still lost more than a dozen soldiers just to withdraw from the fire coverage of the angry flames.
You know, in the past half year of guerrilla warfare, the New World Torch has only sacrificed a total of about fifty people.
But the sacrifice had just begun.
Huanyue is not a place with a particularly good natural environment. There are no dense forests in the undulating mountains, but weird boulders and potholes of varying depths.
This certainly provides some cover, but it's better than nothing.
They still have to face long-range bombings and angry flames coming from all directions.
The New Age Torch, which lacked room for change, was forced to confront its former comrades with swords under the harshest conditions.
Oh, they are not unfamiliar with this, after all, they only did it once a few years ago. However, despite all the disadvantages that cannot be compensated for, their numbers are still decreasing rapidly.
But in just ten minutes, more than thirty people fell.
The total number of sacrifices has exceeded that of the guerrilla war in the past half year.
More importantly, the morale of the battle group was completely lost.
Are the soldiers of the New World Torch born to be rebels?
Neither.
Betrayal and backstabbing are always dishonorable.
It would be like when they backstabbed the Battle Sisters and another battle group who killed thousands of Blood Roses on Tianyuan VI. After all, in that battle, they had the absolute advantage, and their insecurity would not affect their victory in the protracted battle.
But now, they are not only the betrayed party, but also the disadvantaged party, which makes it even more difficult to resist.
In just ten minutes, more than 15% of the soldiers were lost. Secondly, the more important thing was that the entire battle group's front line was faintly in a state of collapse.
This was something Wang Mengsong didn't expect.
He originally thought that no matter how difficult the situation was, they were three hundred Space Marines and could withstand it for fifteen minutes, right?
Now it seems that after fifteen minutes, their front line collapsed. Of course not everyone will be killed by then, but after the reinforcements from Garrett arrive, how many people of the New Age Torch will be able to survive until the end of the war when they are surrounded and suppressed, their front lines collapse, and they are divided and strangled everywhere and unable to escape. ?
Wang Mengsong felt cold in his heart.
But fortunately, things took a turn for the better in the tenth minute.
It's not that Garrett's support arrived, even if she tried her best, she wasn't that fast.
It was an alliance warship in the orbit of the Phantom Moon, sending supporting firepower.
The moment he fell out, Wang Mengsong asked for help. He sent the coordinates, and except for the rocky land planned by him and his soldiers, everything else was within attack range.
Navy men still and will never like to carry out meaningless strikes on the surface.
But that's clearly not the case right now.
Although the coordinates given are coordinates that cannot be attacked, and the attack coordinates are in a vast mountainous area, it is clear that there are a large number of enemy space warriors in this area, so that is easy to say.
What's more, just to save the lives of hundreds of space warriors, such a round is cost-effective.
In order not to affect the New Age Torch, the battleships in the sky deliberately did not use weapons with too large a bombing range. Instead, they only selected two types of weapons, light spears and missiles, to carry out this ground support mission.
The light spear actually has a smaller bombardment range and will not cause a violent explosion after hitting the ground - it is another matter if the destroyed target explodes.
But that doesn't mean that the light spear can't do ground support work.
Dozens of light pillars of different thicknesses descended from the sky, illuminated the ground, and began to sweep back and forth in a certain area. The rocky surface that was irradiated was quickly burned, exploded, and melted. In the area swept by the light spear, nothing intact could be left.
No matter how strong and agile the Space Marines are, they can't escape the light.
Of course, although the accuracy of the light lance is sufficient, it is a pity that the starship staying in orbit cannot lock on to the Space Marines moving around in the mountainous area and deliver an accurate strike. Only three or five people were really killed. The greater effect of the light spear's sweep is to intimidate and intimidate, covering an area so that the enemy does not dare to enter easily.
This almost surrounded the area designated by Wang Mengsong.
Then, the falling missiles can have a bombing effect on a larger area.
Centered on the area marked by Wang Mengsong, the surrounding area is 40 kilometers in radius, all within the bombing range. The 'Hollow Axe' is used to hit the edge area, responsible for large coverage and powerful damage; the scalpel is used to hit the area close to the New Age Torch to avoid accidental injuries.
Amid the fierce bombing, the ground was shaking.
Even if they were accurately avoided, the soldiers of the New Age Torch still had to lower their heads and hide in bunkers to avoid being harmed by the shock waves and huge boulders that were too close to the explosion points.
However, Fury Yan, who was within the bombing range, continued to attack despite such firepower!
In fact, it was a reasonable reaction. Although they didn't know the coordinates of Wang Mengsongfa, the chance of being bombed if mixed with the New World Torch was low.
But making the right decision is easier said than done, but how difficult is it to do?
The New Age Torch couldn't do it, so it suffered a big loss all at once.
Wang Mengsong was furious. He really felt a little disappointed with his battle group for a moment.
But this is his war group after all.
He swayed and charged amidst the tremors of the earth; amidst the violent explosions, he roared with all his strength, letting his voice pass through the communication channel and reach the helmet of every New Age Torch:
"Fight! Fight! The New Age Torch is by no means a coward! We fight for survival! Only those with courage can survive!"
As the chapter leader, his shouts... can only be said to be somewhat useful.
The soldiers of the New Age Torch still started to move, although they were hesitant.
The only ones who can truly stand firm are his personal guards and a few company commanders, a total of only about thirty people.
However, with their brave fighting, they were still able to deflect the impact of the orbital bombardment from the angry flames.
Fury Yan is not a superman, and there are only a few people who can launch a counterattack under such circumstances.
What's more, Paulitos wants to quit.
If they fail to capture Wang Mengsong and fail to quickly eliminate his battle group, then there is no chance.
Now, what falls is orbital bombardment, what next?
Those annoying Battle Sisters and Glory Guards must have set off on their way in fighter planes. They are probably already on standby in their fighter planes, and once a battle breaks out, they will come at full speed. For the elites deployed within two hundred kilometers, including the time for takeoff and acceleration, it is estimated that it will not take more than fifteen minutes to arrive here.
If we don’t withdraw now, when will we wait?
Even if they can deal with a few assaulting Battle Sisters and Glory Guards, the next thing they have to deal with may be the Marine Corps airborne troops falling from orbit;
If they can even handle this, then what will come next is the large Alliance Army troops surrounding the entire mountainous area.
The more I fight, the more hopeless I get.
The best strategy is to withdraw quickly and break out of the encirclement.
However, at this moment, Paulitos saw fighter planes coming through the sky from the smoke and dust that had not dissipated from the orbital bombardment.
These Wind Falcon and Qilin fighter jets bombarded the missiles downwards, making the Space Marines who continued to suppress the angry flames unable to raise their heads. At the same time, the mortal elite warriors quickly airborne.
After emptying the soldiers inside, half of the fighter planes returned, probably to carry more people over; but the other half of the fighter planes still refused to leave, hovering in mid-air, with the cannons on them, Crazy pouring firepower on the ground to assist the airborne nuns and guards in advancing.
Nu Yan had sacrificed some people in the bombing just now, but the casualties were actually not as serious as imagined.
The survivability of Space Marines is still very strong.
They have strong fighting instincts and know where to hide. Even if it is a carpet bombing, everything will not be covered in one second. There are always places that cannot be covered.
What's more, the powerful protective capabilities of power armor also allow them to survive without being hit by a direct blast.
But confusion is inevitable.
Under the cover of air force missiles and cannons, the Battle Sisters and Glory Guards successfully reunited with the New World Torch.
