Chapter 452 Never Retreat
"The shells are coming!!!"
boom!
The cannonball hit the jungle. T'Challa opened his eyes and found that his bodyguard was shaking him hard.
".Prince! They have come to their senses!"
boom!
Several gunshots overlapped together. T'Challa looked at the splashing soil, his head still recovering from the concussion caused by the shock wave.
He turned around and looked to his side - a huge hole was made by the naval gun next to the electromagnetic gun, and most of the spider silk concrete foundation was exposed. The gunner lost half of his body and was carried away on a stretcher screaming.
The heir of Wakanda needs to exercise his body and learn martial arts, and the same goes for every soldier in the Royal Guard. They have even been tempered in actual combat and have often performed peacekeeping missions in many places in Africa. Their combat effectiveness may be stronger than him.
But at this moment, he realized:
On such a battlefield, many people are eliminated not because they are not good at martial arts.
Just because of bad luck.
Take a closer look at the battlefield command system: all 12 electromagnetic guns are online, only they were bombarded here!
Drone feedback showed that this round of bombardment was fierce but lacked accuracy. T'Challa was the unluckiest, right at the edge of the bombardment range.
Moreover, the bombing range is constantly moving. It is obvious that the opponent intends to cover the entire jungle with powerful firepower and paralyze their artillery position.
Although I don't want to say it, the firepower of the Berry Army can be so willful.
The guards' eyes were full of worry: How could the heir to the throne go to the front line?
"Prince, you should retreat and leave this place to us!"
T'Challa heard the voices of his men, but his head had not fully recovered from the concussion, and the conversation seemed to be stretched out.
He thought a lot: information interference works in both directions on the battlefield: the radar interference systems that the Berry Kingdom warships have, they also have here!
Those drones flying in the air do not need wireless signal guidance. Perhaps due to the size of the aircraft, they cannot attack a large number of frequency bands like ship-borne information warfare equipment. However, the internal AI system allows the aircraft to target bands that are not blocked by the Berry Army. Implement blocking.
And best of all, they can jam satellite signals!
Real-time positioning has become very useless in this war, with huge errors. However, Wakanda has solved this problem with the latest drone array. Although there are deviations, the information is stable and real-time.
The enemy's firepower is powerful, but it's equivalent to a blind attack!
Not only are the warships in a state of complete visual positioning, but their air force and army have not yet entered the battlefield.
Most of the aircraft aboard the Truman were covering another battlefield where the African Union had no troops stationed at all and would probably be fully occupied in just a few hours.
T'Challa knows very well: now is the best time to attack!
Must seize this opportunity!
He came back to his senses, shook off the guard's hand, and looked into the distance: in the sky, armed helicopters and transport planes began to cross the coastline and headed straight for the electromagnetic gun position.
"We must continue to fire and attack! Hold the position!!" The voice resounded through the position through the loudspeaker built into the helmet, "Let go of the drones!!"
[T'Challa: Close enough, let go of the drone! 】
[T'Challa: Release drone bombs! 】
The roar filled the combat channel, and T'Challa was a little stunned and kept repeating the instructions.
But this kind of repetition is far better than staying in place after being confused.
The drone transport vehicles hidden on the coast, in the jungle, and in the rocks all took off their camouflage. These vehicles are only slightly larger than ordinary armored transport vehicles, and the cargo bay behind them takes up most of the volume.
As the command was given, the cargo compartment was lifted up like a missile cabin. If you look at it from the front, you can see a blue light glowing in the magnetic track.
This is the track used for electromagnetic ejections of fixed-wing drones loaded with explosives.
[Name: Falcon Drone]
[Carbon fiber, armor-piercing alloy, full-speed turbofan, fixed wing, autonomous AI]
[Description: The fixed-wing drone accelerates through the electromagnetic ejection track in the cabin. After locking the target, it deploys the fixed wing to accelerate. It damages the target unit through direct impact and explosives, and has a significant effect on armored units]
[Maximum speed: 250 kilometers/hour]
[R&D Laboratory: Advanced Mechanical Laboratory]
[R&D personnel: Dr. Leal, Dr. Toombs]
[Reward technology points: 500]
[Current science and technology points: 14500]
boom--
On the coastline, the artillery shells covered up the soft sound of the ejection, and the long drone shot out quickly, with a muzzle speed of 100 kilometers per hour. After the sensor captured the target in the air, the fixed wing fully bounced away, and the turbofan suddenly started to reach its limit!
"what is that?"
The observers on the warship only saw a large group of things that looked like swarm missiles suddenly popping up on the coast.
But where did the poor Africans get the swarm missiles?
Before he could clear his mind, the drones rushing into the air suddenly accelerated and locked onto every transport aircraft approaching the coast!
These drones directly hit the transport aircraft at a speed of up to 250 kilometers per hour, and the armor-piercing alloy of the warhead directly smashed into the aircraft shell——
boom!
The explosion occurred almost simultaneously, and the flames stained the sky red.
"What the hell"
"Soldier, this is what I want to ask you! What is that!"
The captain's roar woke up the watching soldier, and he was excited: "I guess that's a drone?"
Drone?
The captain chewed on this word: The Gulf War showed the world the power of the Berry Army, allowing the enemy to die in mysterious bombings.
Information warfare has become a research direction of various countries.
As a veteran of the Gulf War, he keenly captured the prototype of the evolution of the next war.
Those steel soldiers that can act autonomously, and these drones that look like missiles, but are obviously more accurate and flexible.
Drones will change the direction of future wars.
boom!
The whole ship suddenly tilted up, and the captain in the room hit his head hard on the wall, causing a large wound and blood flowing everywhere——
Now is not the time to write a battlefield essay, the battle continues!
".Damn, we should fight back! Command."
【呲】
[Forced landing. 呲. Provide cover. 】
call--
Dozens of amphibious assault ships rushed through the bombardment line at high speed and followed the second batch of armed transport aircraft and helicopters towards the coast!
They are going to force the landing under fire!
On the attack ships and attack boats, the steel soldiers aimed their weapons at the sky, forming a metal barrage with the ship's near-defense device to intercept the drones that suicidally rushed towards the vehicle!
"Damn it. Keep bombarding!"
It's not like they were advancing under artillery fire anyway.
But he forgot one thing: the ship shook violently just now.
boom!
A crew member broke into the room and said to him in horror: "Captain, our bow has been blown up!"
In two minutes, a total of 72 rounds of electromagnetic guns were fired. One destroyer was shot in half. One destroyer was on fire and barely sank, but it seemed that it was not long before it was hit.
In the last shelling, the electromagnetic gun barrel next to T'Challa suddenly exploded, and the fragments fell to the ground. Fortunately, no one was hit.
But the effect is also very good.
"Hit!"
Due to the special structure of the electromagnetic gun projectile, the plasma warhead prevents incomplete damage such as deflection when hit.
The high-temperature plasma layer of the warhead allows the bullet to easily melt through the outermost armor and run rampant inside.
This shot didn't completely paralyze the cruiser, but it was enough: the navigation radar and other sensors mounted on the bow of the ship had been beaten to pieces!
The two-minute bombardment caused the gun barrel to completely overheat and had to be replaced, leaving only two drone vehicles left.
Africa does not have a complete industrial system, so most of these high-end devices are hand-made products that rely on workers with very sensitive nerves to install brain-computer interfaces and use chip control.
It can be said that each one is the work of painstaking efforts——
It is common for small and weak countries to use handwork instead of high-tech machines to create precision parts. Brain-computer interfaces have reached their limits.
Three drone bomb trucks, each with 30 drones, have now destroyed the drones on one truck.
More drones must be deployed on more important battlefields.
Perhaps sensing the gap in their firepower, the two amphibious assault ships of the Berry Army moved forward at full speed, sailing past the wreckage of friendly ships, ignoring the cries of the soldiers——
Their only goal is to rush to the coast and completely occupy the coast with a large number of steel soldiers with powerful firepower.
Not only that, in the sky, armed transport planes and helicopters also began to cross the front line that had been bombarded by drones just now.
The outermost drone delivery vehicles began to retreat after being released, but can they really outrun the aircraft in the sky?
Getting closer.
"Prince, three positions have been hit, and two positions have problems with the electromagnetic gun pipelines."
The most feared thing on the battlefield happened: weapon failure.
The Sidewinder electromagnetic gun is a large-scale weapon that has just come out of the laboratory and has not even undergone a full set of experiments on the prototype.
In addition, most of the craftsmen have no experience in precision processing and are forced to use skill chips to stack them. God knows what the problem is with the malfunctioning electromagnetic gun?
Fortunately, the nuclear reactor buried beneath the soil did not explode.
"Replace the barrel!" T'Challa turned around, waved to the guard beside him, then bent down and grabbed the barrel -
The round of bombing just now was lucky not to blow up the electromagnetic gun, even though it was a little crooked, and even though half of the gunner and the grenade loader were lost.
But they can still fight!
"I say continue the bombardment!"
boom!
On the other side of the jungle, dust and flames kicked up by the bombardment leaped high.
The royal guards stopped talking and all followed the prince to start operating the turret.
T'Challa thought of something:
The enemy has bombed this area, which means that their blanket search and bombing will most likely not hit this area again.
In other words, they are likely to survive to the end.
"But Prince, how long will we support you?"
"All the frigates supporting the aircraft carrier have lost their pursuit and cover capabilities, and release the drones on the second line of defense!
We will never retreat! ! ! "
Click.
The barrel was pushed into the chamber, the device was locked, and T'Challa grabbed the rail rifle at hand——
"fire!"
boom!
The artillery shells from both sides kept streaking through the air. The attack ships and attack boats rushed through the sea full of wreckage and headed towards the land. Countless bullets and missiles were fired at once, intercepting the drones intending to attack the carrier.
The drones tried to fly through the metal barrage, and the explosions occurred sometimes in the air, sometimes on attack boats and transport aircraft.
Some of the iron rain flew into the air, while others smashed into the sea and the ground, all with flames.
The civilians in the port had lost the desire to escape. They either hugged each other and cried, trembling in fear, or emptied their minds and admired this scene that nature could not create.
The sun began to set, and the city's skyline became darker and darker in the flashing explosions.
The African Union had done everything it could, but the enemy was too many and too strong.
Boom!
Above the port, an armed transport plane was hit by a drone, broke through the fireball, and hit the ground!
The metal behemoth rolled and slid on the ground, and finally stopped in front of a ruin.
Click.
The burning metal shell was knocked open by the same metal arm.
Bang.
The heavy footsteps announced the successful landing.
[Jarvis: Start assembling troops. ]
In the invisible sky, fighter planes also began to take position.
The northern battlefield no longer needed their assistance.
