1565 Battlefield Control

On the defensive position of Higgs 5, the remains of dozens of puppet robots are scattered in the broken trenches. The shattered sandbags were scattered everywhere, some were damaged, and the sand inside had leaked out.

The fully automatic anti-aircraft gun turret has been paralyzed, and the huge crater and countless bullet holes pierced by energy rays are left on the thick concrete wall, which looks a kind of desolation in the end of the world.

The originally majestic turret lost its power, and the ammunition chain had already been emptied. Empty ammunition boxes were scattered around, and among the shell casings that could be seen everywhere, there were lying down puppet robots.

The exit of the tunnel, hidden behind lush vegetation, has now been exposed, and a large number sign can be seen above the thick concrete gate that is open.

This used to be Exit No. 07, but now it has become a ruin, a lifeless ruin.

On the other side of this gate, a missile launch base has been completely empty. The missile launch vehicle originally deployed here has left, leaving only one launch vehicle that was hit and scrapped by the bombing, still staying in its original position.

Its jack was still supported on the flat ground, and the missile launching box might have been hit by an energy shell. It was covered with bullet holes from the explosion, and a part of it had been blown far away.

The wires of the China Unicom launch vehicle have been scattered on the ground and no one cares about them, and the hydraulic rods are already stained with rust. It can be seen from these traces that it has been discarded here for several days.

Inside the tunnel, a clone grenadier from the Ireland Hill Empire held a weapon and leaned against the parapet built with sandbags, sorting out his ammunition.

The outer positions have been lost, and now they can only persist in fighting in the underground tunnels extending in all directions.

Fortunately, there are plenty of ammunition and various bunkers here, and there is no need to worry about rain and wind. It looks like a good battlefield.

Just a few minutes ago, they lost their outer positions and were forced to choose to retreat here for defense.

Everyone knows that the defense here will not last long, because the enemy can also dig into the tunnel from other directions, and no one knows from which direction the opponent will attack.

But fighting is fighting, even if you know you will die here, you must fight here until the last moment.

Outside, a Sweeper soldier climbed up the ramp, jumped into the trench, and inspected the trench vigilantly.

Until the second sweeper also rolled into the trench,

These Warden forces seem to be certain that their enemies have withdrawn from here.

"They have left!" The sweeper who entered the trench first said to his companions.

The third sweeper who turned into the trench has already begun to climb up, and the follow-up sweeper soldiers have also begun to move towards their respective goals.

At this time, several sweepers had already climbed up the long-abandoned bunker. The bunker had been hit directly, and most of the shooting holes were blocked by the collapsed roof.

Less than an hour ago, the soldiers of the Alan Hill Empire were still using this remaining shooting hole to shoot at the sweepers, but now there are only some abandoned corpses left there.

In the past, the soldiers of the Alan Hill Empire would take away the corpses, and even try not to leave material residues such as bullet casings.

But as the battle became more and more fierce, everyone was in no mood to care about those bullet casings and corpses.

Although the sweepers can reproduce by devouring corpses and man-made objects, everyone knows that compared with the speed of destroying enemies of the Alan Hill Empire, the reproduction speed of the sweepers is actually not worth mentioning.

Now both sides are relying on logistical supplies to support the battlefield of Higgs 5. The difference is that the defenders of the Alan Hill Empire rely on hoarded supplies, while the watchmen rely on the huge space fleet behind them.

"There are no more enemies here!" A sweeper passed by his companions who were eating the remains of the puppet robot, and shouted to the soldiers behind him.

Many scavengers are clearing the corpses of their comrades in the front of the position. They will eat everything and leave nothing behind.

This is actually a way for them to recover energy. As long as their offensive has made progress, they can recover part of the resources for subsequent operations.

Just like a new energy vehicle, you can use the rotation of the motor to recover part of the energy and increase your endurance.

In fact, this is the advantage of offensive warfare, because the attacking party can heal the wounded, recover its own weapons and equipment, clean up the battlefield and seize the enemy's supplies, while the repelled party gets nothing.

Because the side that lost control of the battlefield has no time to clean up the battlefield, they are destined to lose more.

Before that, the Alan Hill Empire had been pinning down the watchmen, preventing them from cleaning the battlefield, devouring supplies, and gaining the advantage of supporting wars with wars.

Therefore, the former watchman troops fought in a rather embarrassing situation. They could only rely on the support of the reserve team and could not get supplies from the battlefield-the reason is very simple, because they are always the one that is repelled, so they can only watch helplessly. The corpses dissipated, watching the enemy carry away those corpses and scrapped supplies and equipment.

As the battle continued, the Alan Hill Empire finally began to lose control of the battlefield, no matter whether it was acting or real.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for the caretakers-they can finally reduce their losses and pass these losses on to each other.

And the ground defenders of the Alan Hill Empire, who gradually lost control of the battlefield, are actually a bit stretched.

For a planet, the garrison force of millions of troops is actually not enough at all - therefore, the defense force of the Alan Hill Empire gave up two-thirds of the planet's surface from the very beginning.

There is no way to do this. If hundreds of millions of troops are stationed on a planet, and a large number of defensive weapons are deployed to prevent the opponent from landing, what if the opponent blows up the planet because of a disagreement?

Doesn't that mean you want to cry but have no tears? The huge amount of investment was obliterated by someone's star-destroying cannon, so it was a loss of everything.

Because of this, until the two sides fought and decided to use the Higgs 5 as a bait, the Alan Hill Empire did not plan to deploy heavy troops here.

Finally, a sweeper found the thick door with numbers painted on it, climbed to the side of the door and started nibbling at the edge of the door with his special mouthparts.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Alan Hill Empire, these sweepers are no different from locusts, and the way they eat is exactly the same as insects.

Soon, a second sweeper approached, and he also began to eat the cement, as if he was eating some vegetables.

Then more sweepers rushed over, lying on the gate and chewing non-stop, making a clicking sound.

finally! A sweeper lost himself in eating and walked into a somewhat dark tunnel. He saw polished steel rails and neatly arranged sleepers under his feet.

So he was ready to bend down and eat the delicious food. When he crouched down, a gunshot echoed throughout the tunnel.

"Bah!..." Because of the length of the tunnel, the gunshot did not dissipate for a long time, but echoed back and forth, as if someone fired another shot.

And the sweeper, who bent down to eat the rails, collapsed on the rails after the gunshot, and there was no more sound.

Without hesitation, the remaining sweepers poured into the tunnel from the door, and ran towards the direction where the gunfire sounded.

At the same time, the energy cannons on their shoulders also fired suddenly, shooting out black shells.

"Boom!" The huge explosion blasted away a section of the parapet reinforced with sandbags. A puppet robot hiding behind the sandbags poked its head out holding a weapon, and fired a row of bullets at the sweepers in the distance.

The tracer bullets were particularly conspicuous in the slightly dim environment, streaks of pale yellow light skimmed through the darkness, and directly hit the sweeper's body, splashing a cloud of blood.

"Tug, chug!" The clone grenadier also picked up his weapon and started shooting wildly. The bullets of the electromagnetic rifle are denser than the bullets of the assault rifle, knocking down a group of enemies who rushed in in an instant.

"Retreat! Retreat!" The grenadier, who knew it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, immediately ordered the robots around him.

After he yelled, he took his weapon and ran quickly towards another defensive position not far behind him.

Several grenadiers and puppet battle robots around him immediately ran back after him, and the remaining few puppet robots continued to fire and attack to cover their companions' retreat.

Soon a ball of energy hit a puppet robot that was firing, and a huge explosion knocked his body away.

Frequent explosions echoed throughout the tunnel, and the echoes at least doubled the intensity of the battle.

The last puppet robot was blown away by the incoming energy bomb, and the line of defense where it was located was finally completely occupied by the sweeper soldiers.

These soldiers climbed over the parapet that had been blasted intermittently, and began to eat the corpses of the puppet robots scattered behind the parapet.

Suddenly, a sweeper seemed to realize something, and immediately turned around and shouted to all his companions behind him, "Don't come over!"

Accompanied by his shout, the engineer soldiers of the Alan Hill Empire in the distance pressed the switch of the detonator with a ferocious smile behind the bunker.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of explosions spread throughout the tunnel, and all the bombs that were pre-buried in the tunnel were detonated, directly blowing down the dome and drowning all the sweepers below.

This section of the tunnel and the exit were also buried at the same time. The fallen gravel and dust almost buried the engineers of Alan Hill who pressed the detonator alive together.

"It's all right now!" A clone grenadier held his weapon, shook his head to shake off the dust on his head, and said to the engineers who were also a little embarrassed beside him: "They can't get in."

"This can only stop them for a while, they will dig a tunnel from the side, and then infiltrate into our hinterland along the tunnel."

"It doesn't matter, isn't our mission to blow up all the tunnels?" The grenadier looked at the exit that had been completely blocked by boulders, and said with a smile.

"Let's go! Get out of here! Remember to take the detonator!" The grenadier helped pick up a piece of wire, and said to the engineer beside him.

Soon, puppet robot soldiers came forward to help carry the detonator battery and other supplies.

Let the puppet robot carrying the ammunition box go first, and a few clone grenadiers follow behind, and soon the group came to the hastily established third line of defense.

If they go straight along this road, they will soon reach an underground barracks, where there are tunnels extending in all directions, connecting further places.

...

Andre looked at the holographic projection on the table. He had already lost one-third of his preset position, which was actually not good news for the defender.

Not all directions are defended by elite troops. Those masters from the reinforcements were already stretched short, and it was impossible to support the entire circular defense line.

As a result, the defense line in Andre's hands is very stable in some places, while some places have been broken through a lot.

For a commander, the general way to deal with such a situation is to organize a counterattack, regain those lines of defense that were lost prematurely, and keep the line of defense intact.

But the problem is that the opponent will eat up the permanent fortifications on the entire defense line, and if such a defense line is regained, it will actually be of little use.

"Send the reserve team in this direction! We can't let them retreat any longer, and our airport will be in danger if we retreat any further." Andre rubbed his chin and ordered.

"Obey! General!" The adjutant stood at attention and saluted, and promised Andre: "The commander in charge of the defense over there has already promised that they will not take a step back."

"Very good! Let them persevere! Don't be discouraged!" Andre nodded slightly, and then looked in another direction.

The low bunkers built for convenience before have now become a tragic battlefield. The enemy seems to be looking for these bunkers in a plan. Once they break into the tunnel, the battle will become very difficult.

Close-range encounters without warning and a large number of opponents are not the strong points of the defenders of the Alan Hill Empire.

In today's battle, the defense force of the Alan Hill Empire, which has lost its backup and gradually began to be powerless, has lost control of the battlefield. For General Andre, this must be a very dangerous signal.

"Let General Adair lead the people back from the front line, take a rest, and put them into the battlefield in batches to solve the troubles in some areas... We don't have the ability to fight back now, so we can only let them serve as the firefighting team." The adjutant spoke persuasively.

"Alright!" Andre nodded, agreeing with the adjutant's suggestion: "In my name, let them withdraw!"
