Chapter 497 Who Is It? It's so Hard to Guess

Although the armed forces of the Renaissance Alliance are a mixed military and police force, their ability to fight tough battles is relatively weak and it is difficult to bite the bullet.

But with the advantage in manpower, they can fight a favorable battle without any problem.

Especially after the four immortal tactical teams airdropped by Atlas caused great damage to the four main defense lines of General Lampard's forces, causing tension and chaos in the enemy's troop dispatch, the troops under Franklin finally fought a relatively smooth offensive battle.

Before this, an important reason why the Renaissance Alliance could not attack was that they lacked HCP pilots with rich actual combat experience who could pull and dance on a long front.

As the absolute assault core in current ground combat, HCP is indispensable in offensive battles.

Relying on their own extremely high mobility, they roamed on the front line, and then used fierce firepower to devour all the advancing enemies, or gathered these steel giants together as a sharp spear to tear open the enemy's defense line.

In short, HCP, which was basically equivalent to cannon fodder in space fleet battles, turned into the "protagonist" that everyone paid attention to in ground battles.

But unfortunately, such "protagonists" are very lacking in the armed forces of the Renaissance Alliance.

Before the large-scale outbreak of the armed rebellion in the Rubion galaxy, the HCP troops were actually a big part of the rebuilt garrison forces that needed to be supplemented.

And what was lacking was not the body, but the pilot.

Most of the HCP pilots who survived the previous war were reorganized into several main forces, and more than half of them were still in the hands of the government army, and they are currently firmly defending the "absolute defense line" of the administrative capital of Rubion No. 5.

The rest, together with some rookie pilots who had just finished training and joined the team, formed the main assault force in the hands of various "rebels".

Therefore, the "winner" of the duel between these "rebels" lies largely in the ratio of "old Ass" in the HCP pilot teams of both sides.

Often, the forces with more experienced HCP pilots can gain an advantage in the battle and eventually turn it into a winning position.

Unfortunately, the HCP team of the Renaissance Alliance can basically be ranked in the bottom echelon in terms of the ratio of "old Ass".

And General Lampard, who is opposite them, even has several real ACEs among his HCP pilots.

Until today, when the ground forces of the Renaissance Alliance passed their "long-awaited" position, they finally realized that the opponent's HCP troops seemed to be on holiday for most people, and the few HCPs that occasionally appeared to try to block them were also repelled under the absolute advantage of firepower.

"Quick, quick, quick! The deep attack battalion continues to advance! The second and fourth HCP companies cooperate from the flanks!"

"The front attack battalion is resting in the occupied position, waiting for the mobile group to arrive and receive supplies and repairs!"

"The enemy's HCP troops seem to have been dispersed! Each attacking force seizes the opportunity to defeat them separately!"

"The forward command and long-range artillery group begin to move forward, pay attention to the hidden points marked on the reference map!"

Commands were passed on to the various troops of the Renaissance Alliance. This troop, which had not tasted the taste of a hearty attack for a long time, attacked desperately like a long drought and rain, intending to occupy more battlefields before the enemy counterattacks.

Then calmly switch to the defensive battle they are best at

Amber, who has been watching the battle in the virtual space, was surprised to find that the four immortal combat teams dropped in achieved greater results than he expected.

Including the team Baninger was in, three teams successfully destroyed the fusion furnace substation or tactical support factory in the enemy's logistics node.

The remaining group that did not achieve similar results was not idle. They directly set off fireworks in the ammunition depot in the logistics node, and successfully eliminated a large number of defenders in the node, including 4 HCPs, before all members returned to Valhalla.

This is why the offensive forces of the Renaissance Alliance did not encounter too many enemy HCPs. Most of the HCPs under General Lampard were forced to scatter and attack for support when they heard that the four positions were attacked.

When they finally "killed" the enemies who attacked the logistics nodes and were ready to return to the front line to assist in defense, they found that most of the front positions had been lost, and the surging firepower of the heavy troops on the other side completely dispelled the idea of ​​these HCP troops to continue the attack.

After a whole night and a day of fighting, although the armed forces of the Renaissance Alliance still suffered considerable losses in the attack, they successfully captured three of the four positions.

The remaining one was exactly the position that Baninger and his men had attacked before. After the fusion reactor substation was dismantled by a heavy particle cannon from their own HCP, the strategic value of this logistics node had been infinitely reduced to zero.

The forces under General Lampard had previously surrounded the Renaissance Alliance. When the latter attacked on all fronts and achieved a lot of results, they were trapped in a "big disadvantage" of fighting on their own.

You see, this is the consequence of lack of defensive depth.

——

When the armored command vehicle that Franklin was riding drove into a tactical node of the other side, all fronts continued to maintain a trend of frequent victories.

At present, this enemy's tactical node has been quickly transformed into a basic command post, and the command level of the Renaissance Alliance's armed forces has also been transferred here one after another.

Field air defense, long-range artillery and several extremely precious tactical missile launchers were also secretly moved nearby to deploy and complete battlefield camouflage.

An old officer who was responsible for commanding the entire armed forces had previously criticized Franklin's direct involvement in combat command. However, after the results of the battle were before his eyes, the way he looked at Franklin changed.

In his opinion, he had underestimated Franklin too much before. The supreme leader of the Renaissance Alliance may have many trump cards, and last night's deadlock-breaking orbital airdrop was probably just one of them.

After a brief communication with the officers at Key Point, Franklin, accompanied by Eleanor, came to a huge wreckage in the tactical node that had not yet been dealt with.

The wreckage of this large humanoid unit was blasted away by heavy particle cannons on the entire right side, leaving only the mechanical arm, stepping unit and part of the torso on the left with a barely discernible appearance.

"This is one of the mysterious troops that carried out orbital airdrop last night. It is a little larger than heavy power armor, but much smaller than HCP. It is a new type of unit that we have never seen before. We can confirm that it is not General Randall. units under his command.”

Eleanor pointed to the remains of a power armor that was almost crushed in the power fist glove on the left mechanical arm of the wreckage and said.

This power armor is a common model of the Federation, and the arm armor also has the iconic 'crossed dagger' logo of General Randall's troops.

"But our people have inspected the wreckage. There are no markings on the outer armor except camouflage, and there is no information on the internal parts that can prove the identity or source. The other party can hide all possible identities. information

What's even more outrageous is that no biological tissue samples were found inside the wreckage. Although they were only briefly inspected, the person in charge of the inspection said that even if they were towed to a specialized laboratory, they probably wouldn't be able to find them.

This also means that there is no pilot inside this unknown unit, but an unmanned unit."

After saying that, Eleanor looked at Franklin with some confusion: "The combination of this information is really strange. Whose army do you think this is? The autonomous government or the federation? Or is it other forces on the planet? But the premise is Yes, they still have troops in orbit that they can call upon."

Franklin stared blankly at the wreckage in front of him. He didn't know what he was thinking at the moment. Facing the girl's question, he just said in a daze:

"Yeah, whose army is this? It's really hard to guess."
