Chapter 775 The End of the Civil War (1/2)
Under the cover of naval bombardment, four "Viper" transport aircraft quickly broke through the defense zone along the North Island coastline, and a total of 25 units of power armor were quickly deployed at the airport.
Faced with this group of ferocious men who were armed to the teeth, the security company in charge of airport security was defeated almost immediately after the exchange of fire. They were defeated in just one encounter.
Gunfire flashed around the perimeter of the airport, and traces of bullets streaked across the runway like an airtight net.
Leaning behind the square sandbag wall, the platoon leader wearing a body armor leaned his helmet firmly against the sandbag and did not dare to lift his gun out of the bunker to fight back.
Not far from him, medical soldiers were rescuing the wounded lying on stretchers.
The wounded man had half of his leg blown off, his pale face was covered with beads of sweat, and he was breathing rapidly like a stranded goldfish.
The platoon leader gritted his teeth and shouted loudly into the intercom.
"The outer defense zone collapsed! Their firepower was too strong! We need reinforcements!"
There was a lot of noise on the other end of the walkie-talkie. He waited for a long time but did not get a response. He only heard a series of explosions.
"Damn it!"
The platoon leader cursed, put the walkie-talkie back on his shoulder, leaned out of the bunker with his rifle, and fired at the source of the gunfire on the opposite side.
However, before he could fire twice, two long and thick tracers swished against his barrel and hit the ground in front of him.
The warhead was at least 20 millimeters thick. The moment it hit the ground, it jumped into the sky. However, the roar of the warhead hitting the ground made his head buzz.
The rocks hit by the bullet hit his face, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of pain and sat back on the ground.
"ah--!!"
The alliance did not cease fire.
One powered armor carried a 20mm lance and fired intermittently to suppress the bunker. The other three powered armors advanced towards the bunker in an orderly manner, and their guns were quickly aimed at the guards behind the bunker.
There is no suspense about the outcome.
The platoon leader of the guard company immediately dropped the rifle in his hand and squatted beside the wall with his hands on his head without even waiting for the other party to speak.
"I surrender!"
Lao Bai gestured to his teammates next to him, instructing the latter to take out plastic strips and tie up the prisoners.
Then he raised his right hand, swiped his index finger several times on the floating window of the tactical eyepiece, and set the next stage of attack targets for each team on the map.
The Y-2 drone accompanying them has completed an all-round scan of the battlefield terrain, and the identified enemy unit targets have been marked on the map with red marks.
The whole process is like a game.
Although this is a game.
With the assistance of quad-rotor drones, six teams arrived at the target area as planned and controlled more than 80% of the airport's facilities and the most critical runway.
"The security station has been suppressed!"
"The hangar has been taken!"
"Enemy reinforcements found! There were 317 witnesses, 10 police armored vehicles, and two suspected armored units! Suspected federal marines!"
Hearing the voice on the communication channel, Murderous Dagger almost laughed out loud and couldn't help teasing him.
"Why are there only these few people?"
After taking a look at the smoky airport, the kidney fighter also said in a joking tone.
"If you think about it, there are only tens of thousands of people on the entire island. They still have to support a navy and an army. It's good to be able to put together a battalion."
The situation here is completely different from that in Borneo Province. The entire North Island is smaller than the Golden Gallen Port, and the military strength is even less than a thousand-man team.
Of course, even if the military force cannot gather a thousand-man team, there is still no problem in throwing the security company at the airport here to Borneo to fight a thousand-man team.
After all, the Xilan Empire only picked up the junk discarded by the legion, but the federal armed forces were designed with the legion as the imaginary enemy.
The productivity and education levels of the two sides are completely incomparable. Even the military literacy of ordinary soldiers here is much higher than that of many grassroots officers in the Xilan Empire.
Just as the two were chatting, Lao Bai's voice came from the communication channel.
"...Don't let your guard down. The battle is not over yet! Shadagger, the federal marines are on your northwest side. Contact is expected to occur within three minutes. I will hand over the command of the two nearby teams to you, stop them! Don't! Keep them close to the runway!"
"learn!"
Listening to the voice on the communication channel, Sha Dagger immediately responded and shouted to the brothers behind him.
"Brothers! Come to life!"
"Oh oh oh!!"
Roaring excitedly, the Kidney Fighter inserted a new drum into the light machine gun in his hand and loaded it with a click.
At this moment, Lao Bai, who was at the security post, had controlled the airport's communication equipment and contacted the headquarters of Fries Port through the local radio tower.
"We have taken control of the airport 10 minutes faster than originally planned. How long will reinforcements be left?"
After a brief rustle of electricity, the operator's voice came.
"The reinforcements have already departed. You are still 15 minutes away."
"Let them hurry up. I'm worried that Torch will send reinforcements to the North Island. If the fighting on the ground cannot end as soon as possible, there will still be a tough battle by then... I'm afraid it will be difficult to control civilian casualties."
"Understood, we are communicating with the reinforcement crew."
After the communication ended, Lao Bai left a small team to defend on the spot, and immediately led the other players towards the northwest side of the airport for reinforcements.
The three teams led by Sha Dagger will intercept the federal marines from the front, and after the exchange of fire between the two sides, they will penetrate into the flanks of the enemy units and cooperate with the alliance's air units to eliminate the relatively difficult enemy armor. .
At the same time that the leading troops of the Burning Corps were preparing to meet the enemy, the federal marines had also reached the entrance to the northwest side of the airport.
With the explosion of a rifle grenade, the war suddenly ignited.
The airport, which had been silent for a few minutes, was once again drowned by the noisy gunfire.
The Federal Marine Corps organized a battalion to attack, and even the police anti-explosion vehicles parked in the police station and the "Alligator" amphibious armored vehicles that had not been officially put into production and had only been trial-produced were driven out.
The latter is an amphibious warfare equipment developed by Beidao Heavy Industries under the orders of Charas and was originally scheduled to be used in landing operations on Anle Island and Ring Island.
However, before this equipment could be put to use, the South China Sea Alliance landed on the North Island first.
Although the firepower of this light armor is much stronger than "individual armor" such as power armor, the number is still too few.
Not only that, because the equipment itself is still under development and has not been officially installed, the Federal Navy simply does not have enough experience in vehicle-infantry cooperative operations.
Almost as soon as the two "Alligator" amphibious armored vehicles arrived at the front line, they fell into a dilemma of being out of touch with the infantry and were blocked in a small alley near the airport.
Seeing the fleeting opportunity, Murderous Dagger immediately took off the pigeon missile launcher on his back without hesitation, threw "Cover me!" to his teammates beside him, and stepped over the half-collapsed building. A low wall climbed up to the roof on one side of the alley.
Two armored vehicles were in full view. The leading one was firing its 30mm rapid-fire cannon in the direction of the airport, trying to drive away the "Viper" transport aircraft hovering in mid-air to provide cover for ground troops.
Murderous Dagger took a deep breath, skillfully turned on the camera function of the launcher, and pressed the shutter on the armored vehicle only 150 meters away. The sensor on the head of the missile immediately locked on the target.
With everything ready, he pulled the trigger without hesitation and shouted excitedly at the same time.
"RPG!"
Even though what he shot was not an RPG at all, he still yelled like this out of habit.
The long and thick white smoke was like an arrow that shot straight down the turret of the armored vehicle. Then, like a lighter, the armored vehicle burst into a dazzling firework with a deafening explosion.
Pigeon missiles using metallic hydrogen warheads are far more destructive than ordinary RPG armor-piercing warheads, although the cost of the former is only more than ten times that of the latter.
The soldiers of the surrounding federal marines were stunned by the explosion of fire. When they came to their senses, they turned their guns and focused their fire in the direction of the white smoke.
The Murderous Dagger was about to load the next missile when he found that the armored vehicle behind him pointed its gun barrel at him. He was startled and jumped off the roof of the building.
But he soon discovered that it was just a false alarm.
After discovering that the armored vehicle in front exploded, the armored vehicle that followed was obviously frightened. It reversed frantically while firing towards the roof of the building.
The roar of the muzzle made the Marines guarding both sides of the armored vehicle feel dizzy and tinnitus. Not to mention aiming at him, they could hardly even hold the gun steady.
"Damn it, you're an expert at beating up friendly forces!" The Murderous Dagger man who had already jumped down from the roof was dumbfounded. If he had known that these guys were so poorly coordinated, he would not have been able to get down from the roof.
And while he was in a daze, a series of piercing sounds roared past his head, followed by the roar of the machine gun and the raging sound of shrapnel almost at the same time!
The armored vehicle that opened fire while retreating hastily was obviously marked by friendly forces. In addition, the fire revealed its position. The brothers flying in the sky even saved the ground-attack missiles and opened the can with a single shot of the machine cannon. .
The top armor, which was not very thick, was like paper in the face of airborne 20mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs, and even the turret was lifted into the sky.
The same goes for the soldiers squatting next to the armored vehicle. They were buried directly in the dust by the sputtering shrapnel, and the entire alley was instantly silent.
Seeing the sparks blooming like fireworks and the P-2 "Lightning" attack aircraft flying low over the ruins, the players who leaned behind the bunker and fired cheered excitedly.
"Well done!"
The murderous dagger that had just been locked pressed down on the missile launcher in his hand and smacked his lips with unfinished content.
"MMP! Take my head away!"
However, machine guns are always cheaper than missiles, so if you can grab them, just grab them.
Unlike the Burning Legion, the morale of the Federation Marine Corps has fallen into the abyss at this moment.
Looking at the burning alley not far away, Marine Corps Commander Lundy's eyes were so wide that he wanted to bulge out, and his earth-colored face was filled with despair.
The two "Alligator" armored vehicles were almost their only support, but they couldn't sustain the alliance's airborne troops for ten minutes.
Although their equipment and training are much better than those of the airport's security company, and they even have some equipment left over from the Prosperity Era, they are still far behind compared to these professional guys.
At this moment, the silhouettes of two "Overlord" transport planes have also appeared in the sky. The huge body and narrow plasma plume are as conspicuous as meteors in the night sky.
The towering fuselage was heavily attached to the runway of the airport, and after sliding for a distance, it stopped steadily, and then lowered the wide and heavy hatch.
Eight murderous armored vehicles drove out of the hatch. They were the "Chimera" of the Alliance!
Nearly 500 soldiers armed to the teeth with exoskeletons got off the car.
They held compact assault rifles in their hands, and the shiny bulletproof breastplates exuded a cold light.
"It's over..."
Continuing to fight is meaningless except for sending the boys from Beidao to their deaths.
The Alliance planes can come once and come a second time, and it is impossible to recapture the airport with only their limited forces.
Even if the battleships come back, it will be useless. A fleet without a port is an orphan on the sea.
After seeing the two transport planes land, Lundy had completely lost the idea of resistance in his heart.
Looking at the adjutant beside him who was also pale, his Adam's apple moved, and finally squeezed out the helpless words.
"...We lost."
...
After the resistance was fruitless, the Federal Marine Corps finally chose to surrender.
Except for Charas's guards who were still resisting in the presidential palace, there was no resistance in the entire North Island.
Charas did not allow mutants to go to the island, which was also the only thing he did.
Otherwise, the situation would be much more troublesome.
After communicating with the Navy Command of the South China Sea Alliance, the command of the French Fries Port Military Base decided not to adopt a bombing strategy for the presidential palace, but to send ground troops to arrest Charas and his followers.
After Lao Bai and Fang Chang met up, the two quickly formulated a plan to attack the presidential palace, and unanimously decided to pull another plane of people from French Fries Port, and let the task of attacking the building be practiced by the newcomers in the corps.
As for Charas himself, he may be of great significance to the South China Sea Alliance, but he seems dispensable to the alliance and players.
In contrast, ensuring the safety of local survivors and the integrity of industrial facilities, especially preventing the mutant troops of the Torch Church from landing, is the top priority.
As for the locals' own affairs, they have never had the tradition of intervening.
At the same time when the Burning Corps occupied the North Island, the Federation's fleet and the South Sea Alliance's fleet finally came into contact.
The signals of both sides appeared on each other's radars, and the situation became tense in an instant.
On the Harpoon cruiser, the fleet commander Wu Meng looked at the signal on the radar screen coldly and was about to issue an attack order.
However, at this moment, the command center of Anle Island received a communication request.
"... Can you connect to the communication channel of the Haiya?"
Hearing the voice of Commander Li Minghui, Wu Meng was slightly stunned and frowned slightly.
"Yes... but is it necessary?"
"Contact them!"
Wu Meng thought for two seconds and finally nodded.
"Okay."
After the instructions were issued, the communicator began to try to contact the Haiya battleship.
However, he did not waste precious time in waiting.
He knew very well what kind of person Captain Wick was. That guy was a warmonger through and through, and also the most loyal fan of Charas.
The word "surrender" did not exist in that guy's dictionary at all. It would be better to expect Charas to resign than to expect him to surrender.
If nothing unexpected happened, the electromagnetic cannon on the opposite side might have started charging, and might even have been aimed at him.
Wu Meng calmly issued a first-level combat readiness order, and the weapon systems and defense systems of all ships were put on standby.
The adjutant standing by looked at him nervously.
"Do you think he won't surrender?"
Wu Meng said lightly.
"I hope he doesn't surrender."
"Why?" The adjutant was stunned and looked at the captain in surprise.
Wu Meng's expression did not change at all, but he said it concisely.
"The southern seas need to recuperate. We can no longer afford another war... Moderate reduction of arms is not a bad thing for us, but rather beneficial. Otherwise, we are likely to be dragged into another war that does not belong to us by our allies, even if they have just reasons."
"If they really want that thing, they can pay to buy it from our shipyard. As long as they pay for the money and materials, our workers and engineers can build another one for them and let the young men of the alliance drive it themselves."
And the most important thing is that Charas and his followers must be completely eradicated.
If the alliance interferes with their judicial system for strategic needs, allowing the crew of the Sea End to easily escape the post-war trial and even continue to serve on the battleship, it may lay the foundation for greater disasters in the future.
Of course, this is just his own judgment.
If the top leaders of the South China Sea Alliance have other ideas, he can only keep the regret in his heart.
At the same time, Commander Li Minghui, who was far away at the Anle Island Naval Command, was pacing back and forth in front of the sea chart.
Victory is just around the corner!
His palms were full of sweat, half excited and half nervous.
Charas can no longer cause any trouble, and now there is only one mine left to be removed.
That is the Federation's fleet!
Those ships are the property of the survivors of the South China Sea Alliance. They have poured a lot of hard work and sweat into them. If any one is missing, it will be a huge loss!
If possible, he hoped to avoid an eventual firefight.
As long as those young men are willing to look back, everything can still be redeemed.
In order to gain a bargaining chip to divide post-war interests and negotiate with the alliance, he needs the "Haiya", and the residents of the South China Sea Alliance also need it!
What's more, there is no point in continuing the fight now. Charas has lost the decisive battle! That poor thing is shivering in the bunker!
After finally successfully contacting the bridge of the battleship Haiya, he immediately walked to the communication terminal, put his hands on the table, stared at the face that appeared on the screen and said.
"Surrender! Wick! The Burning Legion has landed on North Island, you have lost!"
Wick looked at him coldly, with not a trace of fear in his eyes, but with contempt.
"Cowardly traitor."
"Traitor?" Li Minghui was stunned for a moment, and laughed angrily at his words, "You helped Chalas suppress the residents of the federal islands, and used the cannons and shells they made for you to threaten them to follow your master, you How dare you say the word traitor out of your mouth."
"What about you?" Wick narrowed his eyes, "What's the difference between what you do and what I do?"
"I have been fighting for them from beginning to end." Li Minghui stared at him without blushing or heartbeat.
Regardless of whether he has been greedy in his heart, he can ask himself that at least he has not crossed the line so far.
However, after hearing his words, Wick suddenly laughed out loud as if he had heard some funny joke.
"Stop talking big words there, how can you be more noble than Charas? At least he can bring us a brighter future! But you, you lead the boys in the southern seas to be the puppets of the alliance! Go and expand territory for them!”
bright future?
Is Bei Dao looking like that now?
Li Minghui looked at this guy who was still obsessed with pity and clicked his tongue gently.
"Your understanding of puppets is that you don't want to be a dog for Charas or Torch? What a pitiful thing. As expected, everything a dog sees is a dog."
But he regretted it as soon as the words came out of his mouth.
He suddenly remembered that he was here to persuade people to surrender, not to ridicule them.
Sure enough, the person facing him was not moved by what he said, and he didn't even pay attention to it at all.
Wick gently straightened the captain's hat on his head and said expressionlessly.
"It's the skill of you politicians to tell the truth. You have the ability to turn white into black and black into white. This is your bounden duty, but not mine."
"...It's useless to talk more. Let's see the truth on the battlefield."
Li Minghui's eyes widened.
"Are you crazy! Can't you see that even if you win, it means nothing!"
This guy is the captain himself, and he should know better than anyone what the current situation means!
"No point?" Looking at the stunned Li Minghui, Wick showed a nonchalant expression and smiled coldly, "Does it make sense to turn you into ruins?"
Speaking of this, his expression suddenly turned ferocious.
Like a beast trapped in a trap.
"Don't try to convince me with your words! Either we go to heaven together, or we all go to hell! Let you insects rule the southern seas, I might as well destroy it with my own hands!"
It’s just a change of home!
As long as we can completely annihilate the South China Sea Alliance fleet, then march straight to Anle Island, and take Li Minghui and a group of officers as hostages, we might not be able to save Bei Dao!
At least, he can use that guy as a bargaining chip!
The war has reached this point, and the Alliance cannot even think of staying out of it. If you don’t want to watch the settlements in the Baiyue Strait turn into scorched earth, then evacuate from the North Island immediately!
Expect me to surrender——
Don’t even think about it!
Looking at the dark screen, Li Minghui had a stunned expression on his face.
The correspondent sitting next to him also had a look of astonishment on his face, but other than that he was speechless.
Are you embarrassed to talk at this level? It's better to persuade me to surrender instead!
There was silence at the headquarters.
Li Minghui's Adam's apple moved, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence from his dry throat.
"crazy……"
Both Charas himself and those who followed him were all crazy...
He took two steps back and sat on the chair in front of the command table. He pinched his eyebrows with his index finger and thumb and stopped talking.
There won't be any suspense about what happens next.
Before the start of this battle, they had practiced countless times on the charts to minimize the possibility of any mistakes.
But thinking of that battleship, Li Minghui still couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.
That's a battleship...
What a crime!
…
A dazzling white light flashed across the sea, crossing overlapping waves, just like a flyover from the battleship "Haiya" to the cruiser "Harpoon".
Ballistics is a complex subject. Its content is not just a simple calculation of projectile motion, but a complete design of the entire projectile motion process.
If you think of electromagnetic guns as flying bricks, your imagination is too poor. Even in the classical era before the Prosperous Era, people knew to equip shells with timed and disguised tail fins or other intelligent guidance components.
For the Prosperous Era, it is not a difficult thing.
The bolts installed inside the tail end of the mass bomb can use the memory characteristics of the material itself to record the time parameters, so that the shells can release the flexible tail fins retracted at the tail end after reaching the predetermined height, so that the shells flying obliquely upward can make a large curvature arc in the air... From a macroscopic point of view, it is like the shells turning a corner in the air.
Including the "anti-air resistance" design of the shell warhead, from the launch device to the launched warhead, all are products of the Prosperous Era.
The only thing that can fight against it is something that is also a creation of the Prosperous Era.
The battleship Haiya fired three mass bombs in succession. The drone flying along the clouds captured the trajectory of the mass bombs and focused the lens on the cruiser Harpoon.
However, a scene that stunned everyone on the Haiya battleship happened.
The Harpoon did not activate the deflector shield to resist as they expected, but took the blow with its hull.
They wanted to use the electromagnetic gun to trigger the overload of the shield capacitor, but they didn't expect it to hit the target with one shot.
However, what is incomprehensible is that after the mass bomb like a meteor hit the bow, it did not poke a hole in the wide bow, but rubbed it and blasted into the sea!
The water column tens of meters high rushed into the sky, and the huge kinetic energy even created a huge cavity under the sea surface, pushing the towering cruiser to shake.
Wu Meng, who was standing in the bridge, held the railing on one side with his right hand, and glanced at the screen. The previous shot only knocked out 12% of the energy of the Meissner effect armor capacitor.
Perhaps because of the slope of the armor, most of the kinetic energy was blasted into the sea. The performance of this thing in actual combat seems to be more amazing than the data calculated by the experiment. At this pace, I am afraid that he will be fine even if he drives the cruiser within the visual range of the opponent.
After all, during the time when he was surprised, the shipboard reactor was slowly charging the armor capacitor.
The battleship Haiya was obviously still unconvinced and fired another round of three shots.
This time, the guys were unexpectedly lucky. They hit two shots and only one missed.
Seeing that the opponent could not do anything to him, Wu Meng was completely relieved.
Just as the battleship Haiya was staring at the cruiser Harpoon and hitting it hard, an anti-ship missile flying close to the wave crest had broken through the blind spot of the point defense system of the destroyer Flying Fish and blasted a big hole in its hull.
The left defense of the federal fleet was instantly breached. The only remaining destroyer, the Defender, could not protect itself, let alone protect the Haiya next to it.
The towering steel behemoth was like a wounded lion, surrounded by the hyenas that were leaning over and roaring.
The "Shark Tooth" ambushed nearby took the lead in seizing the opportunity, biting it without hesitation, and fired a torpedo carrying a metal hydrogen warhead at the arrogant sea monster.
The flames of the explosion rose to the sky on the sea.
Although the torpedo was detonated in advance by the decoy bomb, the Shark Tooth quickly fired the second and third ones.
Including two other attack nuclear submarines.
They were born for this moment, and in the end they did not disgrace their mission and sent the traitors of the Federation - or the South China Sea Alliance - to the bottom of the sea.
The only remaining destroyer, the Defender, raised the white flag very sensibly, and the captain of the Harpoon, Wu Meng, ordered a ceasefire and accepted the surrender of his former comrades.
Looking at the ripples gradually disappearing on the radar screen and the ripples gradually enlarging on the sonar, he sighed with relief and took off his captain's hat to cover the screen in front of him.
"It's finally over."
Although the war to liquidate the Torch Church has not yet ended, at least we don't have to face those familiar faces anymore...
