Chapter 1119 You are surrounded
From the perspective of a battleship, the assault landing ship cannot be considered a battleship at all.
Because the minimum standard for a battleship is a light cruiser like the Swan, an assault landing ship that is much smaller than the Swan can only be regarded as an aircraft.
If the Swan is here, one against three is more than enough, and if it occupies a favorable position, it can even be said bluntly that it can kill as many Swans as it comes.
But this is based on the standards of the Swan. From a human perspective, when looking up at the assault landing ship from the ground, it feels like a huge ancient beast slowly emerging from the darkness, bringing a huge sense of oppression. .
Before the assault landing ship discovered them, everyone drove into a half-destroyed building that had been shelled. It might have been a shopping mall or something, and the revolving door was blown away, which also caused the vehicle to go directly. Drive in.
Immediately, everyone got out of the car and used the ruins to hide on the spot. Through the broken glass and gaps, they quietly looked at the assault landing ship.
The huge searchlight swayed along with the slow floating of the assault landing ship, like some kind of wild beast looking around for the scent of prey.
At this time, there was a loud boom, and everyone noticed that a cannon under the assault landing ship opened fire. The flash of light was frightening, and the loud bang of the explosion ravaged the auditory nerve.
It wasn't that they were discovered. The assault landing ship fired one shot and then continued to move forward as if nothing happened.
Maybe he found a suspicious target so he fired a shot, or maybe he found a civilian fleeing for his life and killed them all. More likely, he just didn't like a certain place, so he shot him.
The crushing of the weak by the strong will be vividly reflected in war.
At this time, the assault landing ship had already arrived above the crowd, and they quickly took their heads back and huddled in the ruins.
The underdevelopment of radar technology and thermal imaging technology makes it difficult for them to locate people hiding in buildings. As long as they don't have time to focus on the mall and output firepower, no one will be discovered.
Of course, being rational is one thing, but being there in person is another.
The roar of the assault landing ship's engine lingered in my ears all the time, and it was a bit too long.
Alyssa quietly peeked out and took a look. She immediately saw the assault landing ship lowering its height, as if it was preparing to lower its troops.
There are ruins all around here, which is not suitable for landing a landing ship. The troops are put down here, most likely to clear out the spinning water federal troops that are still resisting.
But Alyssa and the others were nearby, so they were shot while lying down.
Lieutenant Duy gestured to the people behind him, and two soldiers immediately sneaked up near the vehicle, ready to pick up the vehicle-mounted machine gun and cover the landing troops with a wave of fire.
Of course, this depends on the situation. At least while the assault landing ship is still here, you must not do this. That is asking for death.
As time passed, the height of the assault landing ship was getting lower and lower, and soon it reached a height where it might hit the roof if it went lower.
Alyssa and the others saw the hatch of the landing ship open, preparing to land and transport troops.
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion in their ears. The sound came from far behind them, but from the broken glass on Alyssa's side, the flash of the huge explosion could even be seen.
The shock wave hit the dilapidated shopping mall from behind, and the remaining glass shattered like raindrops. Everyone hurriedly held their heads in place to protect their heads.
This explosion obviously exceeded the expectations of the assault landing ship.
When Alyssa patted the broken glass on her head and looked up, she could see the assault landing ship quickly pulling up and flying towards the direction of the explosion.
Although I don’t know who caused the explosion, it did help a lot.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The night was getting darker and darker in the second half of the night, and I didn't know if there were too many ships in low-Earth orbit, so I couldn't see the stars in the sky tonight. The dark night will be an excellent cover, which will really help Alyssa and the others in their operations.
But the problem is that new troubles have arisen.
After escaping the attack on the landing ship, we rushed all the way to the warehouse. All we have to do now is to find the needed supplies, load them into the car, and then drive home.
To put it simply, the premise is to avoid the Red Maple Republic soldiers patrolling near the warehouse.
This is hard to resist.
Warehouses, places where large amounts of supplies are stored, are of course the focus of occupation and suppression.
Alyssa climbed up to a relatively intact three-story building and observed with a telescope on the roof.
Just at the main entrance of the warehouse, I saw two armored vehicles and at least one reinforcement company. This did not include those patrolling the warehouse area and those taking turns to rest, not to mention the number of people who would call for support if they were attacked.
There were only 16 people on Alyssa's side, including Benben. Unless they could outnumber ten and tear apart an armored vehicle with their hands, there was no chance of a forced breakthrough.
After observing for a while, Alyssa stepped back and said to Lieutenant Duy who was waiting for the result: "No, we can't get in. There are too many soldiers guarding us. Is there any other place where we can get things nearby?" ?”
Lieutenant Duy thought about it:
"Since this place is occupied, I'm afraid the second target is out of the question. Maybe we can get some more by going to a factory farther away, but there is no guarantee that we will find everything on the list."
The so-called second target refers to the airport, which is far away and important facilities such as the airport will definitely be heavily guarded.
Factories in the suburbs may be successful, but there is no guarantee, and the distance is too far. The farther the distance, the higher the probability of problems.
Judging from the intensity of the Red Maple Republic's suppression, as long as everyone drives out of the city to the suburbs, they will most likely be discovered and die on the suburban road.
The things needed on the list are industrial, standard-sized metals and materials. These are not things that can be easily bought at the hardware store in the city. If the warehouse cannot be entered, it will be quite troublesome.
Alyssa was considering the risk. If the risk was too great, it would be better to return home as soon as possible.
At this time, the communicator hanging on Lieutenant Duy's body suddenly made a buzzing sound, startling everyone.
Immediately afterwards, a strange voice came from the communicator.
"Unknown unit, report number and identity."
"Who are you?"
"Repeat, unknown force, report number, identity and mission target. This is not a request, but an order. You have been surrounded by us."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the ruins around them, but it was too dark, and no one dared to turn on the lights, so they couldn't see anything. It was hard to tell whether someone was ambushing nearby.
However, considering that the other party asked to report their identity and number, it means that they are definitely not the army of the Red Maple Republic. After all, Lieutenant Duy and the others are wearing the uniforms of the Spinning Water Federation. If they were the army of the Red Maple Republic, they would have opened fire directly.
Lieutenant Duy calmed down, saw Alyssa nodding at him, grabbed the communicator and said: "This is the Special Marine Group, Lieutenant Duy of the 115th Squadron. We are performing a confidential mission and cannot disclose it. mission objectives.”
"Understood. This is Lieutenant Cao from the 65th Infantry Regiment of the Planetary Defense Force. You seem a little troubled. Come on, let's talk about how to drive these invaders out. Maybe we can help each other."
