Chapter 263 Street Fighting Research and Decapitation Operation

The coalition's general offensive had begun half an hour ago. In the excessive artillery preparation and orbital strikes, the first-line defense positions of the imperial remnants were basically blown into wreckage.

When Amber led the HCP reinforced company almost at the tail of the artillery preparation and stepped on the first line of defense of the imperial forces, it was like a nail nailed on it.

Although the imperial forces urgently dispatched the HCP responsible for mobile support and commanded the surrounding troops to counterattack, they still did not achieve any results.

After a short exchange of fire, not only a pile of HCP and combat vehicle wreckage and the bodies of combatants were left behind, but also under the charge of Amber and the HCP team of the ATLAS TEST TEAM, they were directly beaten and disintegrated.

When the main force of the Atlas synthetic brigade caught up, the loss of this position had become a foregone conclusion.

And this breakthrough began to spread rapidly around like a cancer.

However, Atlas's troops did not rush to advance into the city. Instead, under the cover of HCP, they maneuvered along the edge of the city in battalion-level combat units to assist other coalition units in occupying the first line of defense.

At this time, even the Roma mobile infantry of the Atlas Synthetic Brigade saw it.

Other friendly units in the coalition forces were simply chickens with a combat effectiveness of only 0.5.

To put it nicely, the battalion-level units of Atlas were going to assist the coalition forces in controlling the first line of defense.

But to put it bluntly, they were actually going to put out fires.

During the city siege, each synthetic battalion would not come out with the entire battalion headquarters. All personnel in the "battalion headquarters" followed directly in the armored command vehicle.

The second heavy synthetic battalion commanded by Monton and Telak received an order to assist the two battalion-level combat units of Thunder Defense that were launching an attack on the right wing.

As a result, when the rotor-type reconnaissance drone released by the second heavy synthetic battalion flew to this offensive area, it was discovered that its friendly forces were about to be pushed off the position.

On the front line of less than two kilometers, the two battalions of Thunder Defense were suppressed in the dilapidated positions, relying on some remaining bunkers for defense.

Of the 10 heavy multi-legged tanks assigned to the two battalions, four have been "restored" to the state of parts.

The remaining six "Mammoths", which have not yet been equipped with electromagnetic reconnection guns and are still using the old model of 155mm electrothermal chemical guns, directly lowered the body to the ground and unfolded the armor plates on the mechanical feet, entering the fortress mode commonly known as "crouching and defending with your head in your arms" by players.

Other vehicles and mobile infantry used these six fortresses as support nodes to form a weak line of defense.

And their frontal enemy was just a reinforced Imperial Armored Combined Battalion.

"That's it? That's it? That's it?"

Seeing the information sent back by the drone and the two light multi-legged tanks responsible for front reconnaissance, Monton, who was sitting in the armored command vehicle, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Monton, you should learn less human catchphrases. You sound less and less like a Roma now."

Terak, who was sitting on the other side, complained unhappily and continued:

"The HCPs of the two Thunder Defense Synthesis Battalions have been withdrawn. The on-site commander they temporarily selected is learning the boss's routine to concentrate the HCPs, but in another direction."

Terak dialed the map and looked at the tactical map that updated information through the data link. In an offensive area farther away, more than ten HCPs concentrated by Thunder Defense had already broken into the city.

"So their two synthesis battalions have no HCP cover, and it is understandable that they were beaten like this by the Empire's armored combined battalion."

Terak paused for a moment and added.

"But they are really bad"

"You still blame me, aren't you talking about "bad or not" all day long?"

Monton pursed his lips, and then issued an order for the entire battalion to continue advancing on the command terminal.

The combat companies under the Second Heavy Combined Battalion quickly deployed according to the urban combat advancement formation that had been arranged before the war, and each occupied a street and began to advance.

The mobile infantry also jumped off the car one after another, and covered the vehicles in the middle by the buildings on both sides of the street.

The new vehicles transported by the ATT squadron this time were all distributed to various battalion-level units.

The wheeled armored vehicles and the "Iron Cavalry" medium multi-legged tanks were assigned to two medium-sized combined battalions as firepower reinforcements.

And the Second Heavy Combined Battalion of Monton, like the other heavy combined battalion, was assigned two undetermined main battle tanks and heavy multi-legged tanks.

This is also Atlas' current idea of ​​strengthening battalion-level combat units-strengthening in their respective areas of expertise and combat missions.

The heavy combined battalion is the fist of attack, so find a way to make this fist stronger and more powerful.

The main battle tanks and heavy multi-legged tanks called "Project 12" and "Project 15" have been pushed to the side and rear of the Imperial Armored Combined Battalion. As long as they rush out from the street in front of them, they can attack the enemy's "chrysanthemum".

The mobile infantry also rushed into the surrounding buildings, approaching stealthily while activating the individual anti-vehicle missiles assigned to the squad.

"Attention, all battalions, the wide-area electronic warfare virus is about to begin attacking, please seize the opportunity to attack!

Repeat!

"

Hearing the news from the brigade headquarters, Monton issued the "attack" order without hesitation.

The 'Project 12' main battle tank rushed out amidst the 'roar' of the power unit the moment it received the order.

At the same time, the 'diamond' turret also pointed the muzzle of the electromagnetic reconnection gun in the direction of the enemy.

The figure of a fanatic soon appeared on the screen in front of the commander.

The attacking HCP had a problem with the logic of its stepping unit under the attack of the electronic warfare virus. It stumbled and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, its pilot reacted quickly. He held the heavy sword in his hand and pushed it to the ground before he half-knelt down.

The commander of the main battle tank naturally did not miss this opportunity. When the crosshair was locked on the back of the fanatic, he decisively pressed the fire button.

"boom!"

The tungsten alloy rod that was accelerated to 4,000 meters per second instantly turned into an orange line of fire due to air friction.

The surrounding mobile infantry felt as if the world was shaking, and the air wave caused by the launch of the electromagnetic reconnection cannon fell on them.

Some Roma soldiers recovered quickly and looked in the direction where the main battle tanks were shooting.

The upper body of the HCP, half kneeling on the ground, had disappeared under the blow.

——

After Atlas' battalion-level units and other troops assisting the coalition forces were torn out a 'big hole' in the defense line on the edge of the city.

The entire synthetic brigade regrouped at the initial breakthrough point, and then advanced toward the interior of the city, with one synthetic battalion responsible for two to three streets.

The staff at the headquarters, headed by Hogg, have clearly seen the situation. Now it is a situation of 'one god leading four pigs'.

Moreover, the fighting will of the remaining soldiers of the empire has reached a low point due to the triple 'debuff' of persuading them to surrender, preparing artillery fire, and the raging electronic warfare virus.

In this case, instead of constantly "putting out fires" for friendly forces and delaying the attack rhythm, it is better to gather strength and kill them in one wave.

"That's how I command, that's how I can command!"

In the mobile command cabin, Hogg said firmly.

"We are now going to use the current offensive momentum to penetrate the enemy's defense line in one go and destroy their last will to fight!

As long as the remaining imperial soldiers stop resisting, the siege of friendly forces will naturally be lifted! "

This ground combat commander, who has begun to grow up in just a few days of fighting, is indeed as ferocious in his combat command style as his 'wolf-headed man' appearance.

"Just follow this battle plan and carry out it. All problems will be borne by me alone!"

"Hey, Hogg, you're right~"

Another combat staff member shook his head and said in disapproval:

"This is an order jointly issued by our command center. If there is any problem, we will of course be responsible for it together."

"Yes, we all agree with your combat ideas!"

"Such a radical and iron-blooded battle plan. As expected of you, Hogg!"

After hearing the words of other people in the headquarters, the original 'ferocious' expression on Hogg's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by an expression similar to a 'funny dog ​​head'.

"Hehe. Then thank you for your support!"

——

The fastest advancing position on the entire front was Amber and his 15 HCPs.

They have now broken through the second line of defense of the remaining imperial soldiers. This is also the last line of defense built by the remaining imperial soldiers in advance.

After that, the remaining imperial soldiers in front of them could only rely on the obstacles on the street and the buildings on both sides to block them.

In the command interface on the screen all day long, the information of the 15 HCPs he led was synchronized in real time.

Until now, no aircraft has been seriously damaged, and all aircraft are still fully capable of combat.

This also confirms that the tactic commonly used by players in the game to "concentrate HCPs as an assault force" is still effective in this world.

And as the technical and tactical level of the pilots under their command continues to improve, such HCP assault troops will have increasingly stronger penetration into the battle line.

The only problem is that everyone's ammunition reserves, including Amber's, have dropped below 50%.

Many people have even polished off the piercing rods of their electromagnetic rifles, and currently can only use the 'sword and shield' as their main weapon.

"The development of accompanying supply units seems to be on the agenda."

In fact, not only the HCP commando team, but also the battalion-level combat troops of Atlas encountered similar problems.

Especially since ordinary combat vehicles do not have a subcritical reactor, a power unit with extremely long running time, like the HCP.

Many combat units actually carry extra superconducting battery packs and ammunition storage boxes into combat.

Not only is it troublesome, it's also dangerous.

After all, superconducting batteries are still prone to ‘quenching’ under external attacks.

Just when Amber took advantage of everyone to hide behind several buildings, take a short rest and wait for the follow-up troops to follow up.

Baninger's voice appeared in the communication channel.

"Boss, we have found the headquarters of the imperial forces!"

The previous chapter was blocked. The problem is that there are no prompts. Let me see what's going on first.
