While everyone in the Star Group was worried about the refugees, Armadanai's synthetic armor brigade was already ready on the outskirts of Mehran, waiting for their commander to issue an attack order.
For this reason, Armadanai used almost all of their destroyers and vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft to deploy the entire armored brigade at the predetermined position in the best condition, without wasting the precious attack distance of tanks and armored vehicles.
The only fly in the ointment is that their ammunition supplies basically rely on air transportation, making it difficult to sustain long-term high-intensity battles.
"There will be no high-intensity fighting. The Renaissance Front is just a lamb to be slaughtered in front of my armored forces!"
Norn Goodman, commander of the 1st Armored Brigade of Armadanai, said: "I don't think the Al-Anah soldiers in Mehran can resist the bite of the saber-toothed tigers with the backward weapons of the last century. I dare say they are... The moment he sees a saber-toothed tiger, he will run away!"
It was not that Brigadier Goodman was overconfident, but that the powerful performance of the "Sabertooth Tiger" tank gave him sufficient confidence.
The composite ceramic armor equivalent to 1,200 mm of homogeneous armor on the front of the turret and the active defense system throughout the entire vehicle are enough to become a wall of sighs and an indestructible iron wall for all anti-tank weapons of the Renaissance Front.
A two-thousand-kilowatt built-in generator and a gas turbine powerful enough to drive a large mining truck allow this group of saber-toothed tigers weighing dozens of tons to surge on the road at speeds of nearly 100 kilometers per hour.
In addition to excellent armor protection and wind-like speed, even without using the 120 mm caliber rail-accelerated main gun, the 30 mm remote-controlled electromagnetic cannon on the top of the turret can easily deal with most of the Renaissance Front's lightly armored targets.
And if you encounter an enemy infantry group or a solid fortification that is difficult to chew down, the four disposable thermobaric missile launchers mounted on both sides of the turret will explain to the world what true fire coverage is.
All in all, without the intervention of any external force, the more than ten thousand saint warriors of the Renaissance Front really have nothing to do with these tanks. They can only watch the saber-toothed tigers covering the skull-faced robot troops to occupy the city.
...
At 0:00 on December 5, 2154, local time, no force or emergency could stop the two most powerful arms manufacturing giants in the world from launching an offensive against the Renaissance Front.
In less than five hours, the 1st Armadanai Synthetic Armored Brigade assaulted nearly 100 kilometers towards Mehran. The resistance encountered along the way was very weak and did not cause any losses to the synthetic armored brigade.
When the first Sabretooth tank appeared on the edge of the endless horizon, the more than 60,000 soldiers deployed by the Al-Nathra Front in Mehran knew it.
They have no way out.
...
5:28, on the outskirts of Mehran.
"Little Ja'afari? Little Ja'afari!"
A soldier from the Renaissance Front with a short beard on his chin walked anxiously in a trench dug in advance. Unlike his companions who deployed defenses in the city, they could calm down and take two puffs of imported cigarettes snatched from residents' homes. Listen to what the national media on the radio are saying about the battle.
Although most people do not understand the foreign languages emanating from televisions and radios, this does not stop them from being welcomed and encouraged to be on television for once in their lifetime.
I guess they must be words of encouragement praising the holy warriors and ruthlessly criticizing invaders from other countries!
However, none of this has anything to do with the troops placed on the front line by Nasser, because they are about to face the Armadanai mercenaries, who are among the most powerful on the planet.
"Jafari! I finally found you! The address is on the envelope. When you heard the gunshots and explosions, you immediately bent down and looked for cover. Leave after the gunshots disappeared! Do you understand?"
The soldier with a short beard was overjoyed after seeing a young man in civilian clothes. He quickly stepped forward, took out a packet of letters from his old camouflage uniform, and solemnly handed the packet to Jaffa while giving instructions. in hand.
Although his military uniform has become filthy from long hours of soil work, every letter in the brown paper bag is still spotless.
Jaafari was the only courier on this position. Because he was worried that personal communication devices such as mobile phones would attract the attention of the advanced detectors of Armadana Company, Nasser ordered all soldiers' mobile phones and telephones to either be handed over or Destroyed on the spot, the short-bearded soldiers were no exception.
And little Jafari, who was just a civilian two days ago, became a messenger due to the recommendation of everyone. First of all, everyone's handwritten letters to their families or loved ones need someone to deliver them, but every less veteran on this battlefield is a messenger. He was irresponsible for the entire camp. As for little Jafari, who had only joined the camp for less than two days, he was obviously not a veteran.
Secondly, everyone in this position does not want to see little Ja'afari, who is only twenty years old, follow in his footsteps and be killed by other countries' advanced weapons like a wolf among sheep. For this reason, they deliberately did not issue weapons and military uniforms to Jafari, hoping that he would not be mistaken for a messenger and die under the accurate and deadly marksmanship of those robots.
They knew their fate and were ready to fight it. But little Jafari? His life shouldn't end here.
"Go, go, if you run faster, you can still catch up with the battle here!"
Finally, he touched Jafari's head with his rough hands. The short-bearded soldier turned and left without hesitation, heading to his fighting position to be with his companions who had been with him day and night for several years.
Hold this position!
"Uncle Samir, I will come back as quickly as possible!"
After being encouraged, Jafari suddenly felt endless strength pouring out of his body. He quickly rode on his bicycle and disappeared from the sight of Samir, who was looking back.
"Go quickly, child, and don't come back again..."
After praying silently for Jafari in his heart for a while, the almost useless radio on Samir's chest began to buzz.
"Samir, has your letter been delivered? The damned North Americans are here! Come back quickly!"
...
The momentum of the march of more than twenty neatly arranged Sabretooth Tiger tanks can be said to be huge. Fortunately, most of the exposed infantry are Zoe robots. Otherwise, ordinary humans would be blinded by the billowing smoke and dust if they did not wear goggles. .
Protected by many tanks in the center is Brigadier Goodman’s mobile command headquarters—MCP field multifunctional command vehicle.
This huge command vehicle, which is nearly thirty meters long and weighs hundreds of tons, is divided into three sections, namely the ordnance and driving section at the front, the connection and ammunition depot section in the middle, and the radar and rear section. Command room section.
In order to ensure the safety of the commander, the ordnance section is equipped with the most advanced close-in defense artillery and surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missile systems of Armadne Company. Together with high-power radar, it can intercept almost all missile decapitation strikes in the world.
Of course, the point defense capabilities of this system are still far weaker than the red laser point defense cannon "Sentinel" of the Star Group.
However, Yang Tianyi has always been familiar with the principle of concealment. For this reason, he did not hesitate to pull down his handsome face and repeatedly emphasized the difficulties in the research and development of red laser and its derivative technologies to Delacourt, who was already suspicious, and continued to defraud the National Cooperation Agency of hundreds of millions. Special appropriations for planning.
Are you kidding, the frigates in the Star World haven’t used sentinel point defense yet, are they equipped with it in Elysium?
Goodman naturally doesn't know the intrigues among these upper-level officials. He only knows that he is now one of the safest people in the world - sitting on a heavy command vehicle protected by more than 20 saber-tooth tiger tanks in the center, it is inevitable that he will This made this little old man who was over fifty years old feel a little complacent.
Sitting in the luxurious command room specially decorated for him by the company, there are many famous antique paintings from Europe hanging on the walls. Each one is a carefully selected masterpiece and is worth a lot of money.
The floor that was originally supposed to be made of steel was covered with a Nordic-style handmade carpet because Goodman didn't like the cold mechanical style. The warm red and brown tones and exquisite hand-woven craftsmanship convinced Goodman, who was used to luxury items. Can't find fault with either.
For this reason, he did not even allow his subordinates to step on their muddy leather boots. If they wanted to enter the command room and report the situation to him, they had to change into clean boots prepared in advance or put on heavy shoe covers.
This behavior was inevitably criticized by many people, but due to Goodman's identity as a citizen of Elysium, Ames, as the commander-in-chief of the operation, turned a blind eye.
After all, there are really not many people in Elysium who understand the military and know how to fight. The board of directors, who are obsessed with saving face, refuse to allow people who are not citizens of Elysium to command the armored forces they are proud of.
"If Norn's attack fails and the company's reputation is damaged, I will be the first to say something ugly. As a member of the board of directors, I have the power to remove the commander at any time."
Ames, who was sitting in New Baghdad with Yang Tianyi, recalled the request he made to the board of directors before leaving, and felt worried for no reason.
