Chapter 437 As Long as We Can Reach that Place

Rear Admiral Muller's guess about Amber was not wrong. Although he had already killed a heavy cruiser, a light cruiser, several destroyers and frigates, his attack was indeed just a test.

According to Amber's radical style when driving HCP, which was completely different from that in other situations, if he had ended the test, he should have rushed to kill the flagships of the two fleets this time.

Despite this, Amber and other Atlas troops still caused a lot of trouble to the two federal fleets. With the support of the fortress defense weapons, not only did the federal fleets dare not continue to close the distance, but they also The released assault boats caused considerable damage.

Originally, the third wave of assault boats released by the federal fleet carried many light armored units dedicated to fortress breakthroughs. However, under the interception of Amber and others, less than 30% of the assault boats successfully followed the first two waves. The path opened by the sub-assault boat rushed into the interior of the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress.

So far, less than 60% of the units in the first three waves of assault troops have completed the landing. According to the information sent back by Van Fleet, the size of the federal assault troops discovered so far is about 1,500, and there are still four More than a dozen new multi-legged combat vehicles and a large number of unmanned spider machines.

According to Van Fleet, those unmanned spider machines with multi-legged chariots as the core nodes are self-disciplined units created by the Federal Army Equipment Research Center to imitate the 'worker bees' here in Atlas.

However, due to technical limitations, this kind of unmanned spider machine is not as intelligent as a 'worker bee', so a multi-legged chariot is needed as a core node to command operations.

In addition, Van Fleet also reported that many federal special operations units went into hiding after entering the fortress and continued to penetrate into the fortress. Many defense forces encountered these special operations units. There were relatively large casualties.

Of course, the most critical point is that these defense forces have confirmed that there are psykers among these federal special operations units.

"It seems that there are also psychic agents dispatched?" Amber took the time to ask in the communication channel while the body deflected the force field to resist several charged particle beams.

"Eighty percent is correct." Van Fleet said in the communication channel:

"Unless the Federation has formed some special forces that I don't know about, otherwise, according to the characteristics reported by the defense forces, these psykers should be psionic agents, and the special operations units they lead are specifically designed to cooperate with psionic agents. 'Deepdiver' special operations force."

Amber's brows jumped unconsciously when she heard the name of the special operations force mentioned by the Army Lieutenant General.

Because the name "Deep Diver" was also impressive to him. In the previous game "Star Sky Online", the "Deep Diver" special forces unit was considered a famous "dung monster".

They have a high desire to attack, strong tactical coordination, and well-equipped equipment. The most important thing is that as long as they encounter a 'deep diver', it means that psychic agents will soon join the battle.

After a moment, he immediately spoke:

"Ask the defense forces not to confront them head-on, and to withdraw when necessary. Let's follow the previous arrangements and find a way to lead them to the data center."

"Understood. But it doesn't even need to be deliberately lured. The other party should have found the approximate location of the data center. Most of the intruding federal forces are rushing in that direction, and they are also organized to prevent the defense forces from heading towards Data Center Support.”

Van Fleet frowned and looked at the real-time situation map on the command interface, and asked with some confusion and worry:

"Mr. Amber, are you sure you're just going to let them pass? To be honest, fighting in such terrain inside the fortress will greatly amplify the combat effectiveness of these special operations units."

"It doesn't matter, a 'professional team' has been arranged. When the time comes, just let the defense forces cooperate and surround them."

Amber responded in the communication channel. At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh after remembering Lilith's "backhand" she admitted to him before.

——

When Amber and Van Fleet ended their communication and prepared to intercept the fourth batch of assault boats released by the Federation fleet with the assembled HCP troops, the battle in the A. Bawa Ku asteroid fortress also reached its climax. Intense times.

Dr. Mephisto and the special task force that escorted him - the 'deep divers' troops in Amber and Van Fleet's mouth - quickly passed through the invasion after forcing back Atlas's defense forces. The 'Area Navigation Map' inside the fortress provides the general location of the data center.

And in the process, they completed the rendezvous with the other two 'deep diver' troops, and at the same time, the number of psychic agents in the team also came to six.

This kind of combat power has great advantages in all aspects in the relatively narrow and closed environment inside the asteroid fortress.

After all, these psychic agents in A. Bawa Ku will not be covered by the firepower of the 155 self-propelled artillery group like the 'Hanged Man' on the Para IV.

The advance of the federal assault force is relatively smooth so far. On the other hand, the pressure on Atlas's defensive force has suddenly increased.

Needless to say, the defense forces blocking the Deep Diver from the front have basically been fighting and retreating, trying to minimize casualties while trying to find ways to hinder the advancement of the Deep Diver.

The other defense forces were not much better. The assault forces entering the fortress seemed to have redeployed their tactics and began to obstruct the defense forces' support for the data center.

"Doctor, we are close to the data center. You and your technicians can get ready. The enemy will definitely counterattack after we complete the breakthrough. We may not be able to hold out for too long."

At a corner of a passage near the data center, the frontline commander of the "Deep Diver" pulled Mephisto, who had accidentally floated in the air, to his side and quickly explained the arrangements for the next moment.

While he was speaking, two psychic agents also directly propped up the psychic shield, and then rushed into the passage in a way of "opening the way" with psychic impact.

As they moved, many "Deep Diver" special forces and spider robots also rushed out, and a "wolfhound" also leaned out from the corner and turned the turret to aim the charged particle cannon over.

"I'm ready here. As long as you can get us in, it will be done in 10 minutes at most!"

Dr. Mephisto's words were trembling. For this elderly researcher who had never been on the battlefield, the first time he went on the battlefield was so exciting to break into the fortress. He was considered to have strong psychological and physical functions because he had not lost control of the fortress.

"Okay, then, doctor, you guys get ready. I estimate that it will take a few minutes for me to..."

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several explosions came out along the passage. Even though the combat exoskeleton helmets of the people present had built-in vacuum extraction layers, they still heard the explosions.

Dr. Mephisto and the captain of the 'Deep Diver' turned their heads to look in the direction of the passage. They saw that the 'wolfhound', which had just been showing off its might and preparing to irradiate with a charged particle cannon, had lost control and was now drifting to the other side of the passage. From time to time, a mixture of oil and blood floated out of the two large holes on the body of the car.

At the same time, the ‘Deep Divers’ who were still attacking a minute ago retreated again under the cover of the psychic agents, and left a large number of corpses in the passage.

At this moment, these special forces and psychic agents were pouring firepower into the passage crazily, as if they were blocking something.

The commander of the ‘Deep Divers’, who had never thought of encountering such a situation, immediately accessed the command interface to view the battle video just now.

I saw that there were many things like ‘secret doors’ that had been opened on the inner wall of the seemingly ordinary passage. More than a dozen heavy power armors that seemed to be hidden in the wall before and an unknown armored unit that looked larger were counterattacking the ‘Deep Divers’ under the cover of a larger number of ‘soldier bees’.

“Wait. What is this strange thing?”

The commander of the ‘Deep Divers’ looked at these suddenly appearing units in some surprise. The heavy power armor and those autonomous mechanical units were easy to say, as they were mentioned at the intelligence sharing meeting before the war.

But he had never seen the humanoid armored unit that was between the heavy power armor and the HCP and less than 5 meters in height.

At this moment, one of these unknown armored units was suppressing with an electromagnetic multi-barrel machine gun that replaced the right mechanical arm, and the two electromagnetic reconnection guns deployed behind it were also staring at this direction and ready to fire at any time.

Soon, the electromagnetic multi-barrel machine gun that fired at high speed stopped firing and suddenly emitted a burst of white smoke, as if it was urgently cooling down.

And at this moment, a psychic agent at the entrance of the passage shot out, and with the help of his own burst and the individual propulsion device, he turned into a residual image and rushed towards the tall heavy unit.

Then

There was nothing else, the commander of the "Deep Diver" looked at the heavy armored unit that should have been a bit bulky in surprise, and suddenly locked onto the psychic agent who was flying.

The right arm that looked like a heavy mechanical glove was hammered on the face of the psychic agent so accurately and swiftly. At this moment, an arc similar to a deflection force field seemed to flash on the huge mechanical glove.

The next second, the psychic agent flew out of the passage at a faster speed, and finally hit the wall hard and fainted. After seeing this scene, the other people present even thought they heard a "pop" sound in their ears.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Looking at the psychic agent who was smashed into the wall and his body was twisted, the Deep Diver Commander, who was originally just a little surprised, was completely dumbfounded.

He never thought that such a powerful unit would suddenly appear near the fortress data center as the target. According to common sense, shouldn't such a defense force be deployed in the outer area that first encounters the enemy?

Then he thought of the previous terrain scan and motion detection did not find these units, and then suddenly realized that he and his team might have fallen into a carefully prepared trap?

The other side had obviously guessed the goal of their team, so they expected to deploy these high-powered units in the outer area, and it would be better to hide them secretly on their way as they are now.

"Sir, the wall is made of special anti-detection material, and there is a special coating on the outside, so we didn't detect these units before!"

A member of the 'Deep Diver' who retreated from the entrance came to the commander and said loudly to his tactical mask.

"It's really a trap."

"Sir, what should we do now?!" The team member asked, and at the same time another psychic agent floated over and said:

"No matter what the situation is now, our mission is the first priority and cannot be changed. If you can continue to command the troops to attack, the other two brothers and I will do our best to support the battle, and then you will find an opportunity to send the doctor and others Go in!"

This psychic agent, who had been relatively taciturn in many previous cooperations between the two parties, rarely spoke a lot this time.

"As long as the doctors and others can complete their mission, then we still have hope of making a comeback, otherwise we will be trapped here and die!"

Hearing the words of the psychic agent, the commander of the Deep Diver nodded. Those who can enter the federal special operations unit and serve as commanders will naturally not be greedy for life and fear death, so he responded to the words of this psychic agent. There is no objection.

Just when he was about to arrange the attack wave to rush forward and try to see if he could create an opportunity for the psychic agents, another passage in the 'T'-shaped intersection suddenly became lively.

The commander of the 'Deep Diver' saw through the command interface that a detachment responsible for security in the distance of this passage exchanged fire with the incoming Atlas defense forces.

Among the Atlas defense forces that came to support, in addition to those infantry units, the proportion of heavy power armor was much higher this time, and some large unmanned units that provided direct fire support appeared.

If you include the defensive weapons that may be activated at any time, such an offensive combination is obviously beyond the capabilities of the security team, so the commander of the Deep Diver also knows at this moment that time is running out.

"It's too late, we can only attack by force!" He looked at the psychic agent who was also watching him and continued:

"There are no bunkers in this passage, so there are no tactics. I will directly lead people to attack directly to attract the opponent's attention. You and other psychic agents will wait for an opportunity to escort the doctor and others there!"

After speaking, the commander of the 'deep diver' patted the psychic agent on the shoulder and finally said: "I didn't expect you to talk a lot. I'll treat you to a drink after the battle is over."

"We psychic agents are prohibited"

The psychic agent was about to retort, but the commander of the Deep Diver did not give him this chance and directly led the surrounding Deep Diver members to start a new round of attack.

"Prepare the one-time deflection force field and mobile shield! Pay attention to the offensive formation and wave impact! Don't get the **** to get together!

‘Wolf Dog’ prepares fire support! After the effect of the temporary deflection field is over, you go to the front!

The electronic warfare team, do your best, even if it can cause interference for just one second! "

While issuing the order, the commander of the 'Deep Diver' rushed to the edge of the passage and stood against the wall. After seeing that everyone around him was ready, he forcefully lowered his arm.

"Smoke cover! Attack team, follow me to attack!"

"Dong-dong-dong-dong!"

After the order was given, a large number of smoke bombs were immediately thrown out by the electromagnetic projection devices equipped by other soldiers. A dense number of high-speed steel needle bullets were also shot from the other end of the channel, mixed with many high-energy laser beams.

Although many smoke bombs were exploded in the air before they could emit smoke, the remaining smoke bombs still successfully detonated, and the thick anti-infrared thermal energy smoke instantly filled the entire passage.

And at the last moment before the smoke completely obscured it, two 'Wolfhounds' also popped out of the car body, one on the left and one on the right, irradiating the charged particles from the 'gap' that had not been completely closed at the end.

However, the crews of the two 'Wolf Dogs' also observed a chaotic arc of electricity flashing across the opposite side almost at the same time.

"Tsk, they also have deflection fields, and they don't look disposable."

"boom!"

One of the 'Wolf Dog' crews hadn't finished the strike assessment and observation. Two heavy-duty penetrating rods that passed through the smoke directly penetrated the body of the multi-legged tank from beginning to end, followed by a scream. the entire channel.

"What a quick counterattack!"

The commander of the 'Deep Diver' felt a lot more sense of crisis after seeing this. The enemy in front of them was not only well-equipped, but also obviously very experienced in combat.

The destruction of the 'Wolfhound' did not affect the attack of the 'Deep Divers'. They still threw out multiple one-time deflection field generators forward according to the combat plan, and at the same time deployed multiple laminated armor shields. and fixed on the wall.

The fire suppression effect at the other end of the smoke was also greatly reduced with the construction of the temporary position. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the 'deep divers' also quickly took turns to cover and advance forward.

The psychic agents also floated forward, carrying Dr. Mephisto and other technical staff, just like they were carrying 'little chickens'.

But the sudden appearance of the Atlas defenders at the other end of the passage obviously would not let them advance so easily. With the roar of rocket boosters, the huge humanoid armored unit waved its fists flashing with arcs. Rushing out of the smoke.

It was still a blow that made it almost impossible to see the speed of the punch. Several members of the 'Deep Diver' who were hiding behind a mobile shield were knocked away together with the mobile shield they were hiding in, and in the shining light. Under the wild dance of the electric arc, his whole body became charred black.

As this unknown armored unit full of mechanical violence aesthetics blocked the passage like a wall, and used the large-caliber electromagnetic multi-barreled machine gun on its right arm to shoot and suppress it, a rational and cold sound also made The extremely familiar voices of the surrounding Atlas Defense Force soldiers sounded in the communication channel.

"Immortal, start attacking!"
