Chapter 247: Tian Ji's Horse Racing, Never Out of Date

"Warning! A thermonuclear weapon attack has been detected! It is recommended to turn on the anti-nuclear and anti-radiation working mode!"

"Warning!"

The harsh "thermonuclear weapon attack warning" resounded through the combat management system of all units on the front line.

Many soldiers of the Empire and the Allied Forces stared stupidly at the fireball rising in the distance. If the exoskeleton had not detected that the amount of light entering was too large and triggered to lower the brightness, many people might have been blinded by the strong light.

No one expected that such a thing would suddenly appear on the battlefield.

In the command-type square cabin vehicle of the Allied Forces Mobile Command, the cigarette butt in Major General Benjamin's hand had burned his fingers.

But he stared at the electronic sand table with his eyes blankly as if he had no feeling.

The "nuclear attack" sign that fell on the heads of the two brigade-level units and the words "lost contact" marked on the two brigade-level units flashed as if mocking him.

When the burning sensation on his fingers intensified, the Allied Forces commander seemed to be startled, threw the cigarette butt to the ground and came back to his senses.

Major General Benjamin looked around in the command vehicle and found that the other combat staff had just come to their senses and were staring at him in a state of confusion.

"Calm down. Calm down."

The coalition commander took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

As the current supreme commander of the entire coalition, he must not panic first.

"Find a way to send out drones to investigate the situation near the nuclear explosion area and contact the two troops there as soon as possible.

Notify other troops not to be confused and prepare for defense. The enemy is likely to launch a round of offensive after the nuclear strike!

Let the guard troops withdraw, and the coalition headquarters is ready to move to the backup safety point in the rear."

Major General Benjamin issued a series of orders in one breath, then looked up at the communications staff.

"Send a letter to the galaxy autonomous government and the executive governor of Rubion No. 5 to inform them that the coalition forces have been hit by a nuclear strike by the imperial forces and are now preparing to execute a nuclear counterattack according to the scheduled procedure."

——

Just as the coalition headquarters began to move and was about to order the execution of the nuclear counterattack procedure.

Most of the coalition forces on the front line ignored the order to "hold their positions and prepare for a large-scale enemy attack".

Many battalion-level units on the front line ignored the orders from the rear and directly gathered their troops to retreat.

Although their commanders kept stopping their actions in the communication channel and said that they would record all of their actions and cancel all the benefits of their combat missions after the war, and also punish them by military law.

But the front-line troops did not even pay attention to such threats and quickly withdrew from the front line.

Their response was also simple and powerful.

"I'm here to make money, not to eat nuclear bombs here!"

This was the reaction of the troops that did not eat nuclear attacks.

On the west side of the coalition front, two synthetic brigades within the range of tactical nuclear strikes lost their organization directly under the mushroom cloud.

These private military companies and defense contractors' armed forces have never seen nuclear bombs on the battlefield.

The survivors who were far away from the explosion center and survived by chance didn't care about anything at this moment and fled to the rear regardless of everything.

Many mobile infantrymen even opened fire to intercept their own vehicles, just so that these vehicles that could still be used could take them with them.

And some armored vehicles that were already fully staffed, under the crazy driving of the drivers, stepped on the accelerator and ran over the infantry blocking the front.

It was not that they did not want to stop, but the imperial troops on the opposite side of the front line had already started to attack after turning on the "nuclear explosion environment combat mode" of their equipment and vehicles.

Although it is said that both the infantry's combat exoskeleton and various ground vehicles have long had the ability to fight in a nuclear explosion environment, and have minimized the secondary damage caused by various nuclear explosions.

But the courage to fight under the mushroom cloud is obviously not something that these federal private armed soldiers can have.

In the absence of an effective counterattack, staying on the position is undoubtedly a suicide act.

——

At the same time that the coalition forces on the west began to collapse, Amber, who was leading his troops to rush on the east side of the front, was also dumbfounded.

He had to admit that he had made a serious mistake.

Because he forgot the possibility that the imperial expeditionary force would use nuclear weapons in an emergency.

The expeditionary units of the Star Dragon Empire Royal Army do carry tactical nuclear weapons as a trump card for ground combat.

Generally speaking, among the three brigade combat teams under an imperial expeditionary division, the two armored brigade combat teams responsible for frontal assault will each carry two 200,000-ton tactical nuclear weapons.

In other words, if the nuclear strike teams of the subordinate armored brigade combat teams of the three imperial expeditionary divisions deployed on Rubion V are all there, then there will be a total of 12 200,000-ton tactical nuclear weapons.

After using this one now, there are still 11 nuclear bombs waiting to be launched.

After the combat command system marked the approximate location of the nuclear bomb explosion center, Amber immediately guessed the idea of ​​the opposite imperial commander.

That is, with the force of thunder, annihilating all the living forces on the west side of the coalition forces is paving the way for the subsequent battle.

"In this case, we must not let this enemy go."

Amber immediately changed the original combat order of "support friendly forces" and adjusted it to "completely annihilate the enemy's brigade-level combat units directly in front of our unit."

The two combined coalition brigades in the west are hopeless, but if Atlas's combined brigade can completely annihilate the imperial armored brigade-level combat team standing in front of them.

This exchange is definitely not a loss.

"Isn't it just a matter of replacing low-grade horses with high-grade horses? You may make a small profit, but the coalition will definitely not lose."

Under the protection of the "anti-nuclear technology" of various equipment used by Atlas, coupled with the efforts of various communication support units, the entire mixed brigade can still maintain smooth communications.

Amber also directly used the highest authority to start a brigade-wide broadcast.

"Warriors of Atlas, the time has come to put us to the test.

Because what is before you is a difficult battle that you have never seen before!

I know that it is the first time for many of you to experience such a battle, and it is also the first time to face the danger of a nuclear explosion.

But what I want to tell you is that the nuclear explosion just now is just the beginning, because the coalition forces are likely to launch a nuclear counterattack.

By the time that time comes, the situation will be irreversible.

You can choose to stop the attack and stay where you are and wait for the nuclear bomb to arrive.

But now there is another solution, and that is to annihilate the enemy in front of us.

Then continue to attack the enemies in other directions and fight with them, so that the enemies and the coalition forces cannot make up their minds to drop nuclear bombs on their own heads.

At the same time, the fleet above us will continue to support us in orbit, attacking with thunderous fury those enemies who dare to stand in our way.

You have to believe that as soldiers of Atlas.

You will never be defeated.

You will never lag behind the enemy in terms of equipment and technology.

We are ready to destroy the enemies of Atlas.

Because each of you is Atlas, the incarnation of the Titan.

And I, the Boss you call me, the actual leader of Atlas, Amber.

I will not retreat, but will continue to fight with you, and I will rush to the front of the battle line to open up a path to victory for you.

Remember, your heroic fight is for your own sake.

Because only the brave will win the final victory and win the most generous rewards. "
