"As Lieutenant General Cagat said, 'At the right time and at the right place, launching an unexpected offensive by the enemy can easily tear open the seemingly solid defense line.' I have to say that today I Now I understand the biggest difference between the general and us junior officers."

A man wearing the uniform of a colonel of the People's Alliance Army was sitting in the command room of the mobile headquarters. His sudden emotion made the staff officers around him echo him, but they were all wondering if the commander of an assault corps even had the rank of colonel. All the officers call themselves petty officers, so what are they, petty officers?

This army colonel, who is of the same rank as Joseph Magellan, is the commander of the Sixth Assault Regiment, and outside this small and well-equipped mobile headquarters, there are plains and hills among large tracts of primeval jungle that are suitable for troops to march. The Sixth Assault Regiment, which advanced in formation on the terrain, had a total of 110,000 soldiers.

The colonel was not worried that the enemy would ambush troops in those huge jungles, because even if there were, after the assault boats and gunboats assigned to the Sixth Army fired several rounds from the air with machine guns and plasma launchers, no matter how tenacious they were, The troops will also reveal their whereabouts.

Judging from the current situation, the Qin Empire does not have any troops deployed in the jungle, but only some special teams that perform special tasks.

They had nothing to worry about in the face of the powerful firepower of the regular army.

Moreover, behind their Sixth Army was the Seventh Army, which was better equipped and more supplied. As for the commander of the Seventh Army, he happened to be the colonel's classmate when he was studying in the military school, so the two of them cooperated very well. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why Lieutenant General Wolfgang chose their troops as the spearhead of the attack.

But the endless advancement was ultimately just a fantasy. Neither Lieutenant General Wolfgang nor Colonel Wolfgang, nor the bold Joseph, ever imagined that the Federation could defeat the Qian Empire's tens of millions of armies with the power of two assault corps.

Therefore, after six hours of crossing the equatorial defense line, the Sixth Army finally encountered their first tough encounter since launching the offensive in front of an endless river - they were dispatched by the outer ring commander Zobagis. The Thoth slave army that came and the Qian army that retreated from the front a few hours ago totaled more than 700,000 people.

With a natural barrier like the river, it was obviously impossible to bypass the temporary defense line deployed by Zobagis. So after pondering for a moment, the colonel, who discussed countermeasures with the staff and the rear headquarters, resolutely ordered a tentative attack. The command.

The order issued by Lieutenant General Wolfgang was very clear, that is, even if the Sixth Army once again broke through the defense line constructed by 700,000 Qian troops, it could not advance any further. With the Sixth and Seventh Legions' strength of more than 200,000, it is already the limit to reach this point.

After six hours of regular marching, the tired soldiers and their equipment needed to rest before they could exert their full combat effectiveness. Therefore, after the Sixth Army conducts a round of testing on the strength of the defense line, the Seventh Army will switch positions with the Sixth Army and hand over combat tasks, so that the People's Alliance Army can stabilize the hard-won results.

"Let the navy's assault boats conduct fire reconnaissance from the front and fish out all the point defense guns of these stinky lizards for me!"

Taking advantage of his own obvious air superiority, the colonel played the trump card in his hand without hesitation, preparing to catch the opponent off guard again.

But this time, after several hours of rest and troop replenishment, the imperial army, which had regained its composure, also revealed their sharp fangs - not even waiting for the six-barreled 70mm caliber rapid-fire machine cannon mounted on the assault boat. When he opened fire, more than a dozen dazzling blue lasers and an equal number of small and medium-caliber electromagnetic projectiles struck from all directions of the position.

The ferocious anti-aircraft firepower instantly overloaded the shield generator of an assault boat and destroyed it, and poured tons of electromagnetic projectiles onto the fifty-meter-long body of the boat in just a few seconds. The blue laser, which was like hellfire, even burned the hard alloy armor plate on the outside of the assault craft into pits, and finally completely reduced it to pieces.

"Damn it! We still didn't advance fast enough! Let these bastards build point defense positions!"

Without further reporting from his subordinates, he saw through the projection that the naval unit that went for reconnaissance lost an assault boat within a few seconds and fled in panic. The colonel turned his head to the communications soldier who was waiting for orders not far away and said: "Inform the rear immediately. Headquarters, the enemies encountered by our Sixth Army have built complete point defense positions, and missile weapons will most likely be of no use."

There was no time to feel sorry for the loss of the assault boat. The colonel once again turned his attention to the projection, carefully observing the scene of the enemy's anti-aircraft fire network being opened repeatedly in the video. After smiling slightly, he ordered the artillery troops on standby in the rear to fight. The coordinates captured by the computer are used for saturation attacks.

There are two units responsible for executing the artillery orders. One is the forward artillery unit directly under the Sixth Army, and the other is the equatorial electromagnetic gun array shared by all units in the Eighth Theater.

Unlike cutting-edge artillery that uses plasma launchers to throw high-energy plasma spheres at enemy positions, large electromagnetic gun arrays built using coil gun technology and equipped with exclusive combat computers have long ranges, fast projectile speeds, and high accuracy. They are not plasma launchers. Comparable.

If the application for the launch of these big babies had not required an accurate target, otherwise it would not be approved. The colonel would have wanted to call in a few more electromagnetic gun strikes, and first give a wave of covering firepower to the 700,000 enemy troops on the other side of the river to retaliate. Revenge for the assault boat that had just been destroyed.

"咻咻咻......"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A mere dozen seconds later, when the artillery unit directly under the Sixth Army was still heating the heavy hydrogen ammunition of the vehicle-mounted plasma launcher, accompanied by a harsh scream, five rounds of large-caliber electromagnetic projectiles equipped with small-yield explosive particle warheads were fired. Crossing the blue sky above the heads of the federal soldiers, it smashed into the Qien Empire's endless defense line from near to far at a speed that ordinary people could not react.

Compared with the terrifying kinetic energy carried by projectiles, the explosive particle warheads used are the main source of damage from artillery shells.

Compared with the amazing energy contained in these supernatural particles, Bessarian Stone, known as "original controllable nuclear fusion", is so insignificant. As Colonel Joseph once said to the captured Captain Zozi, as long as one gram of explosive particles can turn the entire medical room into a bright fireball, killing him and the field doctors of the Qien Empire. Send them to the west together.

Although based on the characteristics of explosive particles, many civilized empires will refine them into valuable high-quality battleship fuel, or simply use them to generate electricity like Bessarian stone. But more often than not, explosive particles faithfully perform their inherent duties - military explosives.

Several kilograms of stable explosive particulate dust are placed in the warhead of each electromagnetic projectile. These particles, which were finally rendered harmless by the energy field in the trap, finally burst out after being stimulated by the fuze and kinetic energy. Some power.

The series of explosions produced by the superposition of dust explosions and particle explosions instantly covered the positions of the Qien Empire, which had been very arrogant not long ago. Five mushroom clouds hundreds of meters high were scattered in various locations where point defense facilities were suspected to exist.

The indescribable terrifying high temperature and super pressure directly reduced the point defense turrets and operators that had not had time to move or had no intention of moving to ashes, and scattered across the sky and earth along with the storm wind blowing out from the center of the explosion. between.

Since this was the first time that the electromagnetic gun array had appeared on Tianxi Star, this bombardment brought heavy casualties to the unexpected Qian Empire army, covering dozens of standard football field-sized explosions in just a short period of time. Thousands of casualties were caused within seconds, and the number of Qian soldiers whose internal organs were shattered by the explosion shock wave or who lost their combat effectiveness reached a terrifying tens of thousands.

Unfortunately, the colonel did not intend to give the enemy time to collect the corpses of his comrades. Half a minute later, the plasma launcher, which had heated the heavy hydrogen ammunition, shot spherical high-energy plasma clusters high into the sky, and then fell after passing through beautiful parabolas. Arriving at an area that had been bombarded by electromagnetic guns.

When these plasma masses with a temperature of up to one million degrees Celsius come into contact with the ground, the orange-yellow ion beams explode into countless twisted lines and spread in all directions like colorful poisonous snakes. Enemies affected are either vaporized on the spot or destroyed. The strong electromagnetic waves passing by turned it into coke.

The solid bunkers and fortifications simply could not withstand such terrifying high temperatures and extremely penetrating electromagnetic waves. The continuous bombardment of dozens of army version plasma launchers of the Sixth Army finally turned several major point defense positions into A hell on earth burning with bright yellow flames.

The crystallized ground and rocks turned into lava by plasma in the bombing area are enough to prove that there can no longer be any life here.

All in all, after two rounds of devastating blows, Outer Ring Commander Zobagis may have to re-evaluate his troops deployed in front of the Sixth Army and whether they are still capable of blocking the Seventh People's Alliance who are about to take over the Sixth Army. Assault Legion.
