Chapter 1537 1539 The reality is more brutal than expectedThe battle has been going on, unconsciously, the battle on the ground has passed ten hours.
In the underground headquarters, an officer picked up the equipment in front of him, looked at the data above and shouted: "It's not that simple, it may be that the other party's self-reproduction ability exceeds our previous calculation model. There's more...the enemy's strength is different from what we judged."
The supercomputer of the Alanhill Empire is analyzing all the data of the Watchers, and even designed the Sweeper after knowing that the Sweeper can reproduce itself. A model to calculate the opponent's force growth rate.
But now it seems that this model is a bit conservative, and the opponent is more powerful than imagined.
A commander from the Air Force held the barcode on his forehead and said, "First of all, the other side has no time to build a field airfield, so I can be very sure that the other side's plane can fly very quickly in the air. Refuel and keep flying."
The commander said while pointing to the Prowler and Crusher fighter jets projected by the hologram: "Their spaceships, fighter jets, and tanks are similar to creatures. Technology, the failure rate is extremely low, which we have not taken into account before!"
The other party's air force can suppress, or at least make the Alanhill Empire's air force useless, which is first of all that did not make people think before. of.
Everyone thought that the other party might give priority to using orbital bombing, but the other party didn't use that terrifying attack method.
At the same time, everyone didn't expect the other party's atmospheric air power, capable of directly destroying the frontline air force of the Alanhill Empire - but the fact is that the other party's air force is very powerful.
"The problem is that the enemy's offensive strength has exceeded our previous judgment! With our existing model, there is no way to infer the enemy's actual strength..." The officer who got the calculated data told Ender. Lie said.
As he said, he handed the tablet to General Andrei, who came over: "The problem is more serious than we thought. We judged before that after two rounds of nuclear strikes, There are only about 30 percent of the opponent's front-line troops left! But looking at it now, 30 percent is too much."
Andre took the tablet and looked at it carefully. After looking at the damage judgment above, he finally ordered: "Continue the third round of nuclear strikes... Keep suppressing the number of enemies! Now we have no other way but to continue to stick to our previous counterattack method."
He also did not expect that after withstood two manic nuclear strikes, the enemy's troops deployed on the front to participate in the attack would not decrease but increase.
This phenomenon itself is unreasonable, and what makes him even more depressed is that the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft shows that the opponent's ground troops are also increasing in support.
In the past, the Alanhill Empire's reconnaissance weapons, including satellites and drones, could not be used normally on the Higgs 5 battlefield, which also limited the battle strength of the Alanhill Empire's troops.
The satellites are simply unusable because they have lost air dominance in high orbits - whether they are reconnaissance satellites or communication satellites, they will be destroyed by attacks from space.
After losing air dominance, drones can only be turned into consumables, and they can be used once when necessary to detect the movement of the enemy.
The Alanhill Imperial Forces, who lost satellites and drones, lost their eyes and ears, and could not accurately grasp the enemy's movements.
This time, in the Higgs 5 area, the war has once again become a state of equality where both sides have a fog of war, and no one has a perspective plug-in to use.
On the other hand, the battlefield command system that relied on computer-aided command and only required a few staff officers to formulate combat plans has completely collapsed with such changes.
The on-the-spot judgment of battlefield commanders, including their character and habits, has once again become an important factor affecting the battlefield situation.
Andre handed the tablet back to the officer in his hand, walked back to the holographic projection map table, looked at the line of defense that was mainly attacked by the enemy, and asked: " How is the situation on the battlefield?"
A staff officer used a laser pointer to make a light spot on the holographic projection, and reported: "The two puppet robot divisions deployed in front of the clone troopers are collapsing, The enemy's offensive was very violent."
Those puppet infantry divisions were simple consumables no matter which direction they looked at. The line of defense they formed is estimated to not last long.
Especially when the enemy's new arms emerge in an endless stream, and air dominance is lost in a large area, those puppet robot troops with low battle strength themselves can only be assistants in a brutal battle.
"The other side's new weapons destroyed our trenches, blew up bunkers, and the loss of robots skyrocketed. We lost more than 3,000 combat robots within three hours." Pointing fingers on some enlarged partial defense map.
"Are you going to give up these peripheral directions?" Finally, he ended the report and asked towards Andre.
"No need! These lines of defense can destroy the enemy exponentially. It's a pity to give up." Andre shook the head and said, "The other party's copying principle...I know. Is it?"
"We conducted a computer simulation based on the enemy's corpse and other information... The opponent eats man-made objects to obtain part of the energy for reproduction, but their reproduction does not all come from To swallow objects, more rely on the magical energy that this world is full of..." Another officer replied.
Andre once again nodded, which is a good explanation for the reason why the other party's reproduction speed is super fast - these magical creations, their reproductive energy is not entirely from the objects made by the civilization of the Alanhill Empire .
"Can the Air Force organize a new round of counterattacks? If necessary, invest in bomber units..." After thinking about it, Andre looked towards the liaison officer from the Air Force.
The officer from the Air Force immediately clamped his legs and lifted his chin to replied: "The loss of the fighter force has exceeded the previous estimate. If we continue to organize the Air Force to counterattack, the remaining fighters will be quickly consumed. Yes!"
"But! General! If you need to counterattack, the Air Force will be ready to re-mobilize in about 10 hours!" After finishing his question, he spoke again added.
To tell the truth, although the loss of the Air Force is not small, it is far from the point where it is really broken-although each wing has lost a lot of fighter jets, but there is still no problem in taking off. of.
Just because tired clone pilots need a break, and fighter jets need maintenance checks, it takes some time to recuperate.
No way, the previous brutal air combat really taught Alanhill Imperial Air Force what it means to be evenly matched. Whether it is in terms of quantity or quality, the Warden Air Force is really not lost to Alanhill at all. Imperial Air Force!
"If we don't counterattack, how long will it take for the enemy to reach the core defense area as soon as possible?" Andre looked towards an officer of the ground force and asked.
After the officer retrieved a calculation data, he answered cautiously: "If the opponent maintains such an attack speed, then after 12 days, the opponent may approach our army's main fortifications. !"
"Ha! I thought if the enemy didn't use orbital weapons, I could at least fight them on the ground for 10 years!" Andre laughed at himself.
"I'm afraid! We can't last that long...because even at the current ammo consumption, we will run out of ammunition in three years at most!" Standing at him The clone adjutant around him gave a very pessimistic data.
"And...General! If the enemy keeps attacking at this rate, the damage will only be higher, and our weapons and ammunition will only lose faster than now!" The one just answered The officer of Andre's question then added.
In short, they are not optimistic about the defensive operations of Higgs 5, and the collapse of the whole line is only a matter of time for everyone here.
"It's really unexciting news!" Andre groaned in disappointment, and then he adjusted his emotions.
He turned his head, looked towards a major general who had been waiting for a while, and instructed: "Order the armored troops to start a counterattack! When the enemy enters the second type of defense zone, give the enemy Apply some pressure!"
"Understood! Sir!" The general in charge of commanding the ground armored force immediately responded with his head held high.
Then, Andre looked towards the Air Force liaison officer next to him: "At the beginning of the counterattack, let the Air Force ensure the air superiority of the War Zone! We must ensure that the ground troops can concentrate on fighting the dangerous enemy in front of us. !"
"Yes! General! The Air Force will be ready for combat in a day!" The Air Force Liaison Officer also replied immediately.
"So! Gentlemen! For the Emperor Your Majesty! Let the enemy see our will!" Andrei put his hands behind his back, staring at the map whispered.
"For the Emperor Your Majesty!" Everyone sang loudly and saluted with the most standard gestures.
On the ground, inside the trenches of the Alanhill Empire, a droid raised a weapon and pulled the trigger on a sweeper who had charged into the trench.
The strafe bullets with no difficulty turned the sweeper into a sieve, and when the blood splashed onto the puppet, another sweeper had waved his palm behind it and slashed the puppet. Broke the robot's head.
The third sweeper who jumped into the trench has already started to lean over to eat the corpse of his comrade, and the fourth sweeper who jumped into the trench devoured the object that had just fallen. The remains of a paralyzed puppet robot.
Already intertwined with the defenders of the Alanhill Empire, forming an offensive force of watchers in a you-me-me-me-you situation, losses seem to be decreasing all the time.
The Alanhill Empire was of course impossible to throw a round of nuclear bombs at its Defensive Array, so when the third round of the nuclear bomb attack gradually subsided, on the front of the Defensive Array, the guard army once again rudely attacked the Defensive Array. The advance started before.
Densely packed sweepers pressed on the front lines, and in the hail of bullets from the Alanhill Empire, a little bit closer to the more fortified trenches.
In the very beginning, the trenches hidden in the jungle were reinforced with mud boards, and at most some sandbags were built.
Nowadays, most of these covert bunkers are cemented, harder to destroy, and more annoyingly designed.
These trenches, which were specially designed to embarrass attacking troops, were in most cases short-lived S-shaped, connected by solid bunkers in the middle, and then supplemented by complex forward machine gun positions.
Coupled with the fact that the mortars that fired Zhu Yuan had already been surveyed and mapped, the troops of the Alanhill Empire could often strike wherever they pointed, with unparalleled precision.
Therefore, the Watchmen's forces had to pay a heavy price to break into these complex fortifications.
If it wasn't for eating one's own people, the corpses of the Sweepers and the remains of the Destroyer might be seen everywhere along the way.
"The Defensive Array in front is lost! The two companies of puppet battle robots are unresponsive... The other side's attack speed is too fast!" A clone hunched over and got into a bunker Inside, the officer on the opposite side with a telescope overlooking the foot of the mountain said.
The officer put down the telescope, revealing the QR code on his forehead. His rank was a lieutenant colonel and he was in command of all troops in the vicinity.
He pointed to the enemy who was attacking his Defensive Array at the foot of the mountain, and instructed the sergeant who was guarding the telephone by his side: "Let the logistics force replenish the ammunition for the front line! Be ahead of time! Also... detonate explosives, Destroy those positions occupied by the guards!"
"Yes!" A sergeant heard the order, immediately lifted the transparent protective cover on the device in front of him, and pressed the red button under the protective cover .
“bang!” The earth shook and the mountain quivered exploded immediately at the foot of the mountain, and the flying mud shot straight into the sky, and the vibration could be clearly felt even here on the top of the mountain .
"Bang!" The dust on the top of the head fell, and the second explosion followed a few seconds later. A large part of the position at the foot of the mountain was disappeared, and pieces of cement bunkers followed. The explosion flew into the sky.
"..." The clone commander looked towards the non-commissioned officer responsible for the detonation, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "No more?"
"Sir! A total of 5 sappers have been deployed. The bomb... may be due to a malfunction in detonation, so..." the non-commissioned officer immediately explained with some panic.
"Forget it! These damned enemies can find mines, and I guess they can also find the explosives we planted..." The clone officer looked at the head with some regret, apparently because he didn't blow up too much. Some Sweeper things are a little bit brooding.
As these two explosions gradually ceased, more guard troops passed over the two sweepers who were biting the explosives, and rushed towards the defense line on the top of the mountain without looking back.
