At eight o'clock in the evening, HER's troops attacked the city of Mestre, which is adjacent to the New Town of Venice. They captured it in less than two hours, and after resting they were about to attack Venice.
Venice is now guarded by the Osiris. Miaohaus, who was injured in the Battle of Yalta, is already able to move. He has gauze wrapped around his head and returns to the team driving a "lifeguard" that technicians repaired in a day. Therefore, there are currently five humanoid weapons that can resist the enemy's attack on Venice, and the number of enemies is still unknown.
Venetian citizens evacuated to different air-raid shelters, waiting uneasily for the early morning.
At 11:45 p.m., the HER troops who occupied the city of Mestrie began to approach the New City of Venice from the northwest. Leading the charge were two groups of fighter jets. Their main task was to find the Venetian defenders. The Osiris released a comparable number of fighter groups to confront them. Guarding in this direction were Bart and Miao Haosi, as well as Anton, who was responsible for sniping from the rear.
The first Ying Yang figure appeared, and Anton held his breath and pulled the trigger. The dazzling laser beam illuminated the night sky and shot straight at the enemy. This shot actually completely knocked off the upper body of the enemy plane!
Anton breathed a sigh of relief, but what he saw next made him take a breath of air.
The one in between, with his upper body missing, actually continued to move forward without any hesitation. The reaction of ordinary people would be to abandon the plane and escape. Anton slapped his forehead. There was only one explanation for this situation, and that was that he had fallen into a trap!
In the afternoon battle, the enemy already knew that the Osiris had humanoid weapons that could snipe. So what Anton just shot was a life-size drawing board with an eagle-like pattern printed on it! The drawing board is pushed by several armored vehicles behind it, and it is difficult to tell the authenticity from a distance.
The "Hundred Steps", which does not rely on the power supply of the Osiris, can only shoot five times with the laser sniper rifle, and the first shot is actually wasted on the enemy's deception!
"What a mistake! Bart and Miao Haosi, please be careful on both sides. The enemy will not attack from the road!" Anton reminded his comrades guarding the front.
He was right, the boards on the road were eye-catching. Relying on the delaying method, six enemy planes were divided into two groups and approached Bart and his companions from two paths on the left and right. Fortunately, Anton responded in time, and Bart and Miao Haos moved to the corresponding position one step ahead to block the enemy.
The first shot to defend Venice was officially fired. Both Bart and Miao Haos brought three people's ammunition and suppressed the enemies on the narrow road without hesitation. The enemy retreated to the bunker and threw grenades. Judging from the distance, they could not throw the grenades to the location of Bart and Miao Haos. But the grenades would damage nearby houses and create enough smoke to cover their advance.
This trick is indeed effective. After a few rounds of grenades, Bart can no longer see the enemy in front of him. He complained: "These enemies did not bring smoke grenades but used grenades to create smoke. It seems they have a lot of weapons!"
As Bart said, the troops attacking Venice did bring a lot of weapons, including rocket launchers. The Yingyang-style rocket launcher is powerful, but it is bulky and has scarce ammunition. Generally, few people carry it, but the current siege battle is an opportunity for the rocket launcher to show its talents.
An Eagle fired a few rockets into the smoke ahead, and he didn't need to know Bart's exact location. The street is so narrow that a few rockets are sure to hit.
As a veteran, Bart guessed that the enemy would do this, so he stepped back first. However, the power of the rocket was greater than he expected. It not only completely destroyed nearby houses, but also created a terrifying air wave that knocked Bart's body to the ground.
An Eagle followed closely behind and rushed into the smoke. When he saw Bart's body that had not yet stood up, he swung his knife to chop it. At the critical moment, another laser penetrated the smoke and exploded the Eagle. Bart took advantage of the enemy's explosion to stand up and retreat to a safe area.
Anton wiped his sweat. The shot just now was purely a blind shot. He had seen the enemy rush out immediately after the explosion to kill them, but he could not guarantee that the enemy would do so this time. Just now, I pulled the trigger on the smoke just to cover my comrades. Fortunately, this round of ammunition was not wasted.
Although the sniper attack just now was purely a matter of luck, it still frightened the enemy. They did not dare to rush over rashly and started a positional battle with Bart and the others.
Besides, from the northeast of Venice, there are four Yingyangs coming. Guarding this direction are Old Jack and Li Si. The terrain here is a road close to the sea, and there is a hill next to the roadside. Li Si was guarding the mountain, and Old Jack was guarding the intersection.
"That's what one person can do with two machines." Old Jack said.
Seeing four enemy planes appearing at the intersection, the two launched attacks from up and down directions, forcing the enemy to the side of the mountain.
Seeing the enemy's obedient movement on the mountain, Old Jack gave a signal, and Li Si controlled the machine body to take a few steps back, and pressed the detonator, detonating the explosives they had buried in the mountain on one side of the road. The blown rocks hit the road with a loud noise, and the enemy had to dodge backwards, thus delaying the enemy in the northeast direction.
The Osiris hovered over Wisney, providing information and tactical support to both battlefields. Although relying on a small number of troops to delay the enemy, the experienced Captain Shepard still felt vaguely uncomfortable.
"Jessica, if you scan the battlefield again, are these the only attacking enemies?"
Correspondent Jessica looked at Shepard with confusion and said: "Captain, the current enemy has the maximum combat power that a HER battleship can carry."
"Hmm... But I still feel a little strange. HER has always been very cunning. He shouldn't only come from the front."
"But there are only two ways to enter the new city of Venice?"
"The so-called good and evil come from each other. The enemies on these two paths should only be 'good'. This is what the enemy wants us to believe. My intuition tells me that there are still big loopholes in the current defense line. Where is it..."
Shepard pulled up Wisney's map and suddenly realized a major mistake.
"No! It's the sea! The sea is completely undefended!"
"But Captain, even if the enemy comes from the sea, our troops can't be separated!"
Shepard stroked his beard and said: "Let the starboard side of the Osiris face the sea. If anything goes wrong, use the cannon on the right side to block it!"
Shepard's judgment was correct. Ten minutes later, two HER amphibious humanoid weapons "Terris" landed. As soon as they landed, they used missiles to bombard the city, as if to deliberately remind the enemy that we were coming from the direction of Venice Bay.
"Captain, you are right! Two HER water humanoid weapons that have appeared in the Black Sea have landed ashore!"
Shepard waved his hand: "Fire on the starboard side!"
Densely packed machine guns fired in the direction where the two "Terry Reese" landed, destroying many coastal buildings. While dodging the cannon attacks, the two "Triris" unloaded the large sealed boxes they were carrying, and each took out a rocket launcher. After equipping them, they aimed them at the Osiris in the sky and pulled the trigger. trigger.
The Osiris was hit directly by two rockets. Although its power was not enough to cause much damage to the Osiris, it showed that the enemy was well prepared.
"No, the enemy should have some surprise troops! Scan the battlefield again!" Shepard immediately guessed the enemy's intentions.
However, it was too late. From the northeast sky, a model that Old Jack and Li Si had never seen flew in. I saw that this flying enemy aircraft had short wings on its shoulders and legs, and two large movable horizontal wings on its back. After the enemy plane approached further, they discovered that the outer armor shape of this aircraft was also different from that of the Yingyang type. It no longer imitates the Roman G-shaped helmet and lobster armor, but imitates the helmet and armor of the Polish Hussars.
This is the new aircraft developed by HER based on the design prototype of Polish Hussars - "Spada", which means "Roman Long Sword". The HER soldiers assigned to this model gave it a more memorable name based on its shape: Hussar.
