Chapter 1563 1565 Battlefield ControlOn the ground of Higgs No. 5 Defensive Array, the remains of dozens of puppet robots are scattered around the broken inside the trenches. The smashed sandbags were scattered everywhere, some of them were damaged, and the sand inside had leaked out.
The fully automatic anti-aircraft gun turret has been paralyzed, and the huge crater and countless bullet holes penetrated by energy rays are left on the thick concrete wall, looking a kind of apocalyptic desolation.
The originally majestic turret lost its power, and its ammunition chain has long been emptied. Empty ammo boxes are strewn about, among shell casings that can be seen everywhere, and puppet robots lying down.
The exit of the tunnel hidden behind the lush vegetation has now been exposed, and the large number markings can be seen above the open heavy concrete gate.
This used to be Exit 07, but now it's a rubble, a lifeless rubble.
On the other side of this gate, a missile launch base is completely empty. The missile launch vehicle that was originally deployed here has left, leaving only one launch vehicle that was scrapped by the bombing hit and stayed in its original position.
Its jack is still propped up on the level ground, and the missile launch box may have been hit by an energy shell, which is covered with exploding bullet holes, and a section has been blown away into the distance.
The wires of the Unicom launch vehicle have been scattered on the ground and no one cares for a long time, and the hydraulic rods are already rusted. From these traces, it can be seen that it has been abandoned here for several days.
Inside the tunnel, a clone grenadier of the Alanhill Empire is holding a weapon, leaning against a parapet made of sandbags, sorting his ammunition.
The outer positions have been lost, and now they can only fight in the underground tunnels extending in all directions.
Fortunately, there is plenty of ammunition here, and there are all kinds of bunkers. Don't worry about rain and wind, it looks like a good battlefield.
Just a few minutes earlier, they had lost their perimeter positions and were forced to retreat here for defense.
Everyone knows that the defense will not last long here, because the enemy can also dig into the tunnel from other directions, and no one knows which direction the opponent will attack.
But fighting is fighting. Even if you know that you will die here, you must fight here until the last moment.
Outside, a sweeper soldier climbed the slope and jumped into the trench, vigilantly checking the situation inside.
It wasn't until a second sweeper also slid into the trench that the Watcher troops seemed to be certain that their enemy had withdrawn from here.
"They've left!" said the sweeper who entered the trench first to his comrades.
The third sweeper who had turned into the trench had begun to climb upwards, and the following sweeper soldiers had begun to advance towards their respective targets.
At this time, several sweepers had already climbed up the bunker that had been abandoned long ago. The bunker had been hit directly, and the shooting holes were mostly blocked by the collapsed roof.
Less than an hour ago, the soldiers of the Alanhill Empire were still firing at the sweepers with this remnant of the firing hole, and now there are only a few abandoned corpses left.
In the past, the soldiers of the Alanhill Empire would take the corpses away, and even try not to leave any material such as bullet casings.
But as the battle became more and more tragic, everyone was in no mood to care about those bullet casings and corpses.
While the Sweeper can reproduce by devouring corpses and artifacts, everyone knows that the Sweeper's reproduction speed is not worth mentioning compared to the Alanhill Empire's annihilation speed.
Now both sides are relying on logistical supplies to support the Higgs 5 battlefield. The difference is that the Alanhill Imperial defenders rely on hoarded supplies, while the Guardians rely on the huge universe behind them. fleet.
"There are no more enemies here!" A sweeper shouted to the soldiers behind him as he passed his companion who was eating the wreckage of the puppet robot.
Many sweepers are cleaning up the bodies of their comrades at the front of the field, and they will eat everything and leave nothing behind.
This is actually a way for them to recycle energy, as long as their offensive progresses, they can recycle some of their resources for subsequent battles.
Like a new energy vehicle, it can use the rotation of the motor to recover part of the energy and increase its stamina.
In fact, this is the advantage of offensive operations, because the attacking side can treat the wounded, recover its own weapons and equipment, clean the battlefield and seize the enemy's materials, while the repelled side can get nothing.
Because the side that loses control of the battlefield doesn't have time to clean it, they're bound to lose more.
The Alanhill Empire has been keeping watchmen in check, preventing them from sweeping the battlefield, devouring supplies, and gaining the advantage of fighting for war.
Therefore, the previous Warden troops were quite embarrassed. They could only rely on reserve support and could not get supplies from the battlefield-the reason was very simple, because they were always the one who was repelled, so they only I can watch the corpses of my companions dissipate, and watch the enemy transport those corpses and discarded materials and equipment.
As the battle continues, the Alanhill Empire is finally starting to lose control of the battlefield, whether played or real.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for the caretakers - they can finally reduce their losses and pass them on to each other.
And the ground defenders of the Alanhill Empire, who gradually lost control of the battlefield, were actually a bit stretched.
For a planet, the garrison of several millions of troops is actually not enough to see - therefore, the defense force of the Alanhill Empire gave up the planet surface on 2/3/2022 from the very beginning .
This is also no way out. If hundreds of millions of troops are stationed on a planet, and a large number of defensive weapons are deployed to prevent the other party from landing, what if the other party disagrees and blows up the planet?
Isn't that about to cry without tears? The massive investment was wiped out by a star destroyer, so how could it be considered a loss of money?
Because of this, the Alanhill Empire did not plan to deploy heavy troops here until the two sides fought and decided to use the Higgs 5 as a bait.
Finally, a sweeper spotted the thick door with the numbers painted on it, crawled over to the door and started gnawing at the edge of the door with his special mouthparts.
In the eyes of the soldiers of the Alanhill Empire, these sweepers are no different from locusts, and they eat exactly the same as Insect.
Soon, a second sweeper approached, and he began to eat the cement, as if he was eating vegetables.
Then more sweepers rushed over, laying on the gate and chewing, making crack crack sounds.
Finally! A sweeper walked into the dimly lit tunnel and saw polished steel rails and sleepers neatly arranged under his feet.
So he was ready to lean down and eat the delicious food. As he crouched down, a gunshot echoed throughout the tunnel.
"Bah!..." Because of the length of the tunnel, the sound of the gunshot did not dissipate for a long time, but echoed back and forth, as if someone had fired another shot.
And the sweeper who was leaning down to nibble on the rails fell on the rails after the gunshot, and there was no more sound.
The rest of the sweepers did not hesitate, they poured into the tunnel from the door, and ran wildly in the direction of the gunshots.
At the same time, the energy cannons on their shoulders also fired suddenly, firing black shells.
"bang!" A huge explosion blasted away a section of the parapet wall reinforced with sandbags, and a puppet robot hiding behind the sandbags stuck its head out holding a weapon, facing the sweeper in the distance. A row of bullets was fired.
The tracer bullets are especially conspicuous in a slightly dim environment. The light of one after another pale-yellow swept through the darkness and hit the sweeper directly, splashing a blood mist.
"tú tú tú tú!" The clone grenadier also picked up his weapon and started a frantic strafing. The bullet of the electromagnetic rifle is denser than the bullet of the assault rifle, and it knocks down a rush of enemies in an instant.
"Retreat! Retreat!" The grenadier, who knew that this place should not stay for a long time, immediately ordered the robot beside him.
After he shouted, he took his weapon and ran quickly towards another Defensive Array not far behind him.
Several grenadiers and puppet combat robots next to him immediately followed him and ran backwards, while the remaining puppet robots continued to fire and attack to cover their companions' retreat.
Soon a ball of energy hit a puppet robot that was firing, and a huge explosion sent his body flying.
The sound of frequent explosions echoed throughout the tunnel, and the echoes at least doubled the intensity of the fight.
The last puppet robot was blown away by the incoming energy bomb, and the line of defense it was in was finally completely occupied by the sweeper soldiers.
The soldiers climbed over the battered parapet and began to nibble at the corpses of the puppet robots scattered behind the parapet.
Suddenly, a sweeper seemed to realize something, and immediately turned around and shouted to all the companions behind him: "Don't come here!"
Accompanied by his shout, the distant Alanhill Imperial Engineer was behind the bunker and pressed the switch of the detonator with a grim smile.
"bang! bang! bang!" A series of explosions spread throughout the tunnel, and the bombs that were pre-buried in the tunnel were all detonated, directly collapsing the dome and submerging all the sweepers below. .
This section of the tunnel and exit was also buried at the same time, with falling gravel and dust, almost burying the Alanhill sappers who pressed the detonator alive.
"It's good now!" A clone grenadier held his weapon, shaking his head to shake off the dust above his head, and said to the sappers who were also a little embarrassed: "They can't get in. "
"It will only stop them for a while. They will dig a tunnel from the side and infiltrate our hinterland along the tunnel."
"It's okay, we Isn't the task of blowing up all the tunnels?" The grenadier looked at the exit that had been completely blocked by the boulder, said with a smile.
"Let's go! Get out of here! Remember to take the detonator!"
Soon, a puppet robot soldier came forward to help carry the detonator battery, as well as some other supplies.
Let the puppet robot with the ammo box go first. After a few clone grenadiers, the entire group soon arrived at the hastily established third line of defense.
If they keep going down this road, they will soon reach an underground barracks, where there are tunnels extending in all directions, connecting further places.
……
Andre looked at the holographic projection on the table, he had lost the preset position of one third, which was actually not good news for the defender .
Not all directions are protected by elite troops. Those experts from the reinforcements were already stretched and insufficient, and it was impossible to support the entire ring of defense.
This leads to the fact that the defense line in Andre's hands is very stable in some places, and some places have been broken through a lot.
For a commander, the general solution to such a situation is to organize a counterattack, regain those defense lines that were lost prematurely, and maintain the integrity of the defense lines.
But the problem is that the opponent will eat the permanent fortifications on the entire line of defense, and it will be of little use to regain such a line of defense.
"Send the reserve team in this direction! We can't let it retreat any further, and even our airport is in danger." Andre rubbed his chin and ordered.
"As ordered! General!" The adjutant saluted and promised Andre: "The commander in charge of the defense over there has already promised that they will not take a step back."
"Very good! Let them stick to it! Don't be discouraged!" Andre nodded slightly, then looked towards another direction.
The low bunkers that were built for convenience have now become a tragic battlefield. The enemy seems to be planning to find these bunkers. Once they break into the tunnel, the battle will become very difficult.
A close encounter without warning, with a large number of opponents, is not the strength of the Alanhill Imperial defenders.
In today's battle, the Alanhill Imperial Defense Forces, who have lost their backup and are gradually becoming powerless, have lost control of the battlefield. For General Andrei, this must be a very dangerous signal.
"Let General Adair lead people back from the front line, take a rest, put them into the battlefield in batches, and solve the troubles in local areas... We no longer have the ability to counterattack, we can only let They're the fire brigade," the adjutant said persuaded.
"Alright!" Andre nodded, agreeing with the adjutant's suggestion: "In my name, let them withdraw!"
