Chapter 490: Teacher Beats up Students?
Let alone how the frontline troops of the Renaissance Alliance reacted after hearing Franklin's order, the troops under General Lampard on the other side were already sweating profusely.
"Report! The target is disintegrated! It is suspected that an unknown unit is separating from the orbital airdrop module!"
"No matter whether it is separated or not! Start intercepting first, and shoot as many as you can!"
Looking at the screen in front of him, the five airdrop modules that fell over the area he was responsible for split into a dense mass of unknown units after the radar scanned again, and a certain air defense commander of General Lampard's troops ordered with gritted teeth.
Soon, the high-energy laser air defense vehicle that was deployed urgently raised the turret above the vehicle body, ready to irradiate the incoming targets captured in the air.
In other areas of the defense position, some HCPs also deployed the heavy particle cannons behind them and raised the electromagnetic rifles in their hands, intending to do a "lottery".
If it is against conventional units such as aircraft, missiles, or drones in the atmosphere, HCP is still fully capable of air defense tasks, especially after adding additional air defense combat components, its prevention and control efficiency can even be said to be very good.
But for this kind of unit that falls from the zenith at a very high speed, it can only be a lottery. After all, compared with aircraft in the atmosphere, this kind of vertically falling unit has a shorter reaction time. In many cases, even before the HCP has completed the deployment of weapons, it is almost about to hit the target.
"It has been locked by the field air defense radar group. It is estimated that the information has been synchronized to their air defense fire control radar, which means that we are about to be attacked. Everyone! Pay attention to avoidance and maneuver on your own!"
Banninger ordered in the communication channel, while controlling the large power armor of the Dreadnought that he was "riding" to separate from the airborne capsule.
The next second, a purple-red high-energy laser beam shone from the ground, and after a delay of one or two seconds, it shone on the airborne capsule.
"Fuck, that was a close call."
After watching the long-term exposure of high-energy lasers, the bottom armor and thermal insulation layer of the airdrop capsule were deformed because the temperature exceeded the threshold, which directly affected the posture of the airdrop capsule and caused it to roll in disorder, Baninger was also afraid.
Although the members of the Immortal Legion can appear in the virtual space unscathed even after the combat vehicle they were riding was destroyed.
But it is not good to lose personnel before the battle begins, especially when the number of combat elements carried by the Polarized Light is limited and needs to be used "thriftily" to deal with future sudden abnormalities.
Under Baninger's order, the special power armor and combat elements controlled by the members of the Immortal Legion separated from the airdrop capsule also began to perform disordered maneuvers with the help of the disposable attitude control system mounted to avoid the irradiation of ground anti-aircraft firepower.
At the same time, Baninger also controlled the large power armor of the Dreadnought that he was riding, unfolded the electromagnetic reconnection cannon on the weapon rack behind him, and activated the electromagnetic machine gun held in his right hand.
He was directly connected to the sensors of the power armor and soon saw the high-risk ground targets marked in front of him.
"Power armor group, counterattack while evading!"
As he gave the order, Baninger's weapons group also opened fire. Alloy rods flew out under the action of electromagnetic force and acceleration track, and soon heated up and turned orange due to high-speed friction with the air, and then dragged lines of fire in the air.
Compared with heavy particle cannons, which have extremely high requirements for instantaneous energy output, the power required by electromagnetic reconnection cannons and electromagnetic machine guns is not low, but the energy output can still be completed by relying on the small subcritical reactor and superconducting battery pack carried by the Dreadnought.
What's more, the Dreadnought does not need to carry a driver, so the space reserved for members to wear in traditional power armor is directly omitted.
In addition, although the special large-scale power armor of the Dreadnought is smaller than the HCP, it is still a circle larger than the conventional heavy power armor, so there is enough space to carry a more powerful power unit.
The ground anti-aircraft firepower group definitely did not dare to take the penetrating rod attack from the top of their heads. Even the iron turtle like the main battle tank did not dare to take the alloy penetrating rod falling from the top of their heads at a nearly vertical angle without turning on the deflection force field.
"Current altitude 24,000 meters."
"Current altitude 20,000 meters."
"Current altitude 15,000 meters."
"Current altitude 8,000 meters."
In the constantly refreshing altitude prompt, the Immortal Legion was getting closer and closer to the ground, and in the process of breaking through, it only lost some basic combat elements, which was completely expected before the airdrop.
At this altitude, the members of the Immortal Legion also controlled the units to start the reverse thrust to slow down.
Since there is no need to consider the G force that humans can withstand, the deceleration of the Immortals is very rough and efficient.
The anti-aircraft units on the ground who were struggling to make the final interception were dumbfounded for a while when they saw the unknown target with a sharp drop in speed.
The controllers sitting at the workbench even suspected that there was something wrong with the detection unit, which was why the speed difference between the front and rear was displayed so outrageously.
But there was no time for them to check the equipment problem, because even after the immortals slowed down, it didn't take much time to break through the last few thousand meters of altitude.
As the large number of unknown units discovered before completely disappeared from the radar, the controllers could not help but sweat on their foreheads, and at the same time, they issued warnings in a panic on the communication channel.
"The unknown unit has landed! Repeat! The unknown unit has landed!"
——
"Report the situation of each team!"
"Team A has arrived at the target area, power armor loss-none, combat body loss-3"
"Team B has arrived at the target area, power armor loss-none, combat body loss-5"
The commanders of the four teams quickly reported the current situation of their combat teams on the communication channel. During the airdrop process, only the combat body of the four teams was lost, and the power armor directly controlled by the immortals' 'body' avoided all attacks more flexibly.
Baninger glanced at his command interface. According to the ground reconnaissance conducted by the Polarized Light when it passed over the sky, the enemy troops near the landing point of the four teams had begun to surround them.
After quickly confirming the battle plan, the commander of the Immortal Legion ordered in the communication channel:
"Immortal Legion, start the attack according to the battle plan! Create as much damage as possible, attract the enemy's attention, and create opportunities for our "friends."
Banning paused, raised the electromagnetic machine gun in his hand and pointed it in the direction of the enemy's attack, feeling the familiar feeling, and then continued:
"This is the first time for all of us to go out to fight in this form. It is different from the last asteroid fortress. Be careful, don't lose face for our "digital life"!"
"Received!" ×N
At the same time as receiving the replies from each group, Banning also appeared in front of him. The warning of "unknown unit found" appeared. He looked at a drone surveillance camera-it was the surveillance drone that the immortals separated together when they left the airdrop cabin.
When they dropped to the predetermined height, these drones were also activated and hovered at a height suitable for surveillance to detect the movement of units around the airdrop zone.
At this moment, the drone over Group A, where Baninger was, captured a "return defense force" consisting of an armored platoon and two armored infantry platoons - a standard attack unit under the organization of a heavy synthetic battalion.
Baninger switched back to the group's communication channel, and then took the lead in leaving the airdrop zone with an electromagnetic machine gun, rushing towards the factory building in the distance.
"Get ready for battle, boys! First, let's try out the quality of those three iron turtles!"
Soon, all the combat elements of Group A, under the control of the "hive mind" of the crowd, quickly seized the advantageous position in the factory area and set up the heavy weapons group that was airdropped together.
The Dreadnought power armor, which was already equipped with heavy firepower, deployed their electromagnetic reconnection guns and charged particle guns, and then launched an attack on the three main battle tanks at the front of the "triangle" attack formation.
Several lines of fire crossed the battlefield at a speed that the human eye could hardly catch, but the next second, the silver-white arcs suddenly lit up on the three main battle tanks, and the tungsten alloy rods were twisted open without surprise.
The charged particle beams that followed closely also set off spectacular fireworks on this deflection field.
"Oh! I knew it!"
Seeing that the first round of attacks did not work, Baninger did not have any emotional fluctuations, as if he had expected this scene.
And Memphis, who had just stopped the charged particle cannon not far away from him, said with a relaxed tone:
"Do you think we, or Boss, are 'suffering from our own actions'? When we replaced the equipment of the Rubion Galaxy garrison, we provided our best foreign trade products, but now they have become the enemy we have to deal with~"
"If you say so, is it really 'the wheel of fate'?" Baninger said with some embarrassment.
"Uh, Commander, what you said is not a good thing."
"."
Banninger did not continue to talk, and looked at the main battle tank that was getting closer and closer through the zoom function of the sensor. This was one of the best land combat equipment provided by Atlas at that time.
It is also the predecessor of the current ground main battle equipment T-740 'Thor's Hammer' of Atlas combat forces - the export 'monkey version' of the 'Project 12' main battle tank.
But even if it has been 'reduced' compared to its own equipment, this export-oriented main battle tank named 'Xiandeng' still has good performance in all aspects.
At the moment when main battle tanks are slowly being discovered to have new potential and ushering in the 'second spring', Atlas's 'Xiandeng' is also at the forefront.
The configuration of the deflection field generator as standard for the entire series makes 'Xiandeng' one of the hardest MBTs on the ground at present. The only one that can surpass 'Xiandeng' in terms of defense indicators is the 'hundred-ton king' of the Star Dragon Empire, the 'Star Dragon Blade' super-heavy main battle tank.
After appropriately reducing the hard armor protection and using the saved combat weight to upgrade the power pack, the "Xiandeng" also used electromagnetic reconnection guns or plasma guns like the "Thor's Hammer", but the output power and power were much worse.
But even so, the firepower of the "Xiandeng" is basically the leader in the first echelon among the main battle tanks in service.
At this moment, the leading vehicle in the "triangle formation" also slowly turned the turret to aim at the direction that had just been attacked.
The next second, a ball of "ball lightning" flew out of the translucent triangular gun barrel, crossed the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, and bombarded a three-story building, and quickly engulfed a corner of the building.
When the roar of the explosion and the sound of building debris falling to the ground disappeared, a corner of the three-story building was also "melted", leaving only the edge that was burned red by high-temperature plasma.
"Andes, are you okay?"
Banninger's voice sounded in the communication channel. He naturally knew that the Immortals would not really die, so he was not worried about his team members being injured.
Instead, he was worried that his side would suffer combat casualties at the beginning of the exchange of fire, resulting in the inability to cause greater damage to the enemy troops later.
"I'm fine, Corps Commander! I moved after the first round of attacks, so don't worry. This is not the first time we go to the battlefield~"
Andes' voice sounded, and Banninger also breathed a sigh of relief, and realized that he was still a little "concerned" because of the Immortals' "first show to the outside world".
"OK, all units, keep attacking and shifting positions! If the main battle tanks can't handle it for the time being, let them go and give priority to attacking the infantry fighting vehicles behind!"
——
Under Baninger's "switch fire" command, the three attacking main battle tanks were gradually no longer given priority, but were allowed to attack freely.
However, the armored infantry behind them were miserable. Although they were riding on tracked armored infantry fighting vehicles equipped by heavy synthetic forces, they were much better than ordinary wheeled armored vehicles in terms of defense.
But the attacks of electromagnetic reconnection guns and charged particle guns were more or less beyond the scope for these armored infantry fighting vehicles.
Perhaps the charged particle guns could still use the laminated armor and special interlayers to defend a little, but as long as the tungsten alloy penetration rod fired by the electromagnetic reconnection gun hits, it basically penetrates from the front to the rear of the vehicle, leaving two large holes, and the soldiers in the crew cabin were blasted with blood and flesh by the overpressure.
After this "returning defense team" paid the price of 3 infantry fighting vehicles + infantry being crushed, the leading three "first landing" main battle tanks finally broke into the factory where Baninger and his team were.
The platoon leader of this armored platoon did not advance rashly. He remembered the teachings he received during the training of the Atlas combat force and walked around the periphery of the factory with three tanks, but did not go deep into the factory.
Because the instructors of the Atlas combat force used a lot of actual combat cases to let him know that if there was no infantry cover, these three tanks would only "send heads" into the street fighting, so he had to wait for the surviving armored infantry fighting vehicles to rush up and put down the soldiers before moving in coordination.
Unfortunately, Baninger and his team also knew what the platoon leader was thinking.
When the outer wall of the building on the side of the street where the three tanks were located collapsed with a roar, and then a humanoid unit with "lightning" on his left hand rushed out of the smoke and dust, the platoon leader of the armored platoon realized that they might be in trouble.
