When the fleet commanded by Admiral Morgan officially entered the orbit of Planet No. 4, Chu Jungui still did not escape. Even most of the fleet was still there. Only a few destroyers left the system and disappeared.
Phil could only sigh. At this time, he was no longer the top commander on the front line. The command was transferred to Admiral Morgan. The main force on the battlefield also changed from the Moon Wheel to the Federation's 17th Mobile Fleet and the 23rd Planetary Marine Corps, with 4 marine divisions under its jurisdiction. A total of nearly 100,000 people.
The Lightyear fleet was nowhere to be found, but the base could not escape. After Admiral Morgan deployed the fleet, the Marine Corps began to land on a large scale. Countless large and small landing ships were thrown into the planet, like an unprecedented meteor shower.
The huge landing ship rushed out of the storm clouds with its body covered in flames and lightning, then began to slow down and hover, and then slowly fell after the flames on the hull were extinguished. In the blink of an eye, a vast plain area was covered with landing ships of all sizes, just like an alien invasion blockbuster.
A landing ship seemed to be unable to withstand the erosion of the storm clouds. It lost most of its power and tilted into the ground, with less than half of the ship's body submerged in the ground. A nearby landing ship that had landed re-launched, threw out more than ten rescue ropes, and automatically fixed them on the hull of the crashed landing ship. Then with a huge roar, the landing ship was dragged out bit by bit.
The landing ships were deployed on the spot, and each of these behemoths hundreds of meters long looked like a small city. In the center of the urban complex, Admiral Morgan stepped out of the landing ship. A land airship flew over, then lost control before his eyes and fell to the ground. Admiral Morgan looked at his personal terminal. There was only a snowflake on it, no images at all, and only a special command channel with the strongest anti-interference ability that could still be used.
Admiral Morgan smiled and said: "We are back to primitive society!"
He immediately summoned a troop carrier, jumped on the roof, and said, "Let's go, look at the surrounding terrain!"
Several generals who followed were shocked: "This is too dangerous!"
"What danger can there be? Didn't I always come here like this when I was a company commander? Unless my armor is not up to standard, then I need to investigate the corruption problem." After that, the general waved his hand, and the tank started. Take him to the outside of the landing zone. Several generals had long been accustomed to the general's style. They shook their heads helplessly and quickly arranged the troops to go out for reconnaissance. Then they boarded their chariots and followed the general.
On the top of a mountain several kilometers away, a battle beast was entangled in a big tree, using the wide leaves to block most of its body, and looked at the roaring landing base through the gaps in the leaves.
It raised its three arms and legs, and counted the number of landing troops. It's just that there are too many landing troops, and both the personnel and the tanks are so densely packed that it feels cramped in its arms and legs.
It was observing and counting when it suddenly felt something. When it looked back, Chu Jungui, the wise man and several fighting beasts had appeared under the tree.
Chu Jun looked around and jumped up a big tree. From this position, he had a wide view and could see half of the landing site.
At this time, a strong flash of light suddenly lit up in the center of the landing field, and a substantial wall of light appeared, quickly moving into the distance.
"Biological scan!" Chu Jungui said quickly.
The wise man immediately gave an order in his consciousness, and ridges appeared on the surface of all the fighting beasts, revealing the wooden texture. After giving the order, the wise man himself dispersed into a ball of black mist and hid behind a double-leaf tree.
The invisible wall of light instantly passed over their location and continued to move into the distance. The composition of the convex grains on the surface of the fighting beast's body is similar to that of the bark of a double-leaf tree. The accuracy of such a large-scale biological scanning cannot reach 0.1 square centimeters. In the system recognition, there is a high probability that the fighting beast will be recognized as a plant. Even if individual battle beasts are identified, as long as they are not moving in groups, they will be treated as local creatures and ignored by the system.
After the wise man turned into black mist, the scanning response was almost zero. Not to mention this kind of large-scale scanning, even a precise short-range scanning can't even hope to find the wise man.
The armor Chu Jungui wears is specially customized from the Federation and comes with a variety of anti-reconnaissance functions. To deal with the scanning of such street goods, it can be recognized by the opponent as anything, even if it is disguised as a pile of giant biological excrement. no problem.
Chu Jungui's eyes slowly swept across the landing site. All targets wherever he passed were identified, grouped, and analyzed, and most of the technical weapons were also identified. At this time, a small force was suddenly highlighted.
This force consists of more than a dozen tanks and has no more than a hundred personnel. It is slowly moving along the outer edge of the landing site. It seems that this force is very ordinary. It may be a reconnaissance force or an exploration force. However, the reason why Chu Jungui recognized it was that wherever this troop went, the surrounding troops changed their actions one after another. Two people on a chariot in the center of the troop were leaning out half of their bodies, observing the surrounding terrain. . The officers on the tank, both in front and behind, looked at the tank from time to time, obviously waiting for instructions.
Chu Jungui instantly made a judgment. This officer was neither high nor low in rank. He was most likely a lieutenant colonel or colonel. Real senior generals would not do the work of surveying the terrain themselves.
Chu Jungui's heart moved, and he stretched out his hand, and a battle beast presented a specially modified rifle. This kind of 40mm caliber thing is also called a gun here in Chu Jungui.
Chu Jungui picked up the 2 and a half meter long 'gun', inserted a bullet as thick as a forearm and 50 centimeters long, and aimed at the slowly moving chariot. The test subject's field of vision automatically calculated various factors such as airflow and wind direction, and a clear trajectory continued to extend, finally landing on the officer's chest.
A bullet of this power does not need to be shot at all. It can cut a person in two even if it flies past the body.
Chu Jungui took a second to aim and correct, and then pulled the trigger.
A wave of air spread in the crown of the tree, and the trunk of the double-leaf tree instantly tilted backward at an exaggerated angle.
Chu Jungui jumped down from the tree, landed on the ground, and then turned back to see the results of the battle. The bullet takes nearly 2 seconds to hit the target.
When looking at the battlefield, Chu Jungui happened to see a dazzling light suddenly burst out from around the officer, and a substantial light curtain enveloped him. The warhead hit the light curtain and instantly stimulated a dazzling light, which was then deflected. Shoot into the chariot. The chariot exploded instantly, throwing the officer into the air, but the light curtain protecting him did not shatter.
Personal defense field!
Chu Jungui was shocked. This kind of single-person defense force field is not a popular product. It requires at least tens of millions of kilowatts of power to activate. Micro fusion energy cannot provide this level of energy at all. Only antimatter power reactors can be used. . Therefore, each set of personal defense force fields is extremely expensive, and only senior generals are qualified to equip it. The people Chu Jungui had dealt with in the past were all major generals, and they were not qualified to equip such high-end products.
Chu Jungui knew that he might have missed a big fish, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset. But he couldn't stay for long now. He waved his hand to summon two fighting beasts and jumped on. The two fighting beasts cooperated seamlessly, with their bodies close together, and more than a dozen arms and legs waving alternately, ejecting forward like marbles. Even though they were in the forest, they still quickly left the scene at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour.
Chu Jungui didn't know yet that Admiral Morgan, commander of the Federation's 17th Fleet and commander-in-chief of the landing force, had just been almost shot to the west by him.
The landing force immediately launched a blanket search of the surrounding area and conducted large-scale fire reconnaissance in the depth area, but found nothing. Except for some residual gunpowder components seized at the sniper position, no clues were found. The battle beasts are completely integrated into the surrounding environment. If you don't specifically target them, you won't be able to find them at all.
While the federal landing force was still searching in depth, several armed reconnaissance detachments suddenly lost their signals at the same time!
An alarm sounded instantly over the landing base, and all the troops who had completed preparations rushed into the temporary defenses that had just been built. Many soldiers who had not yet received the equipment were equipped with heavy armor and were stationed in the fortifications. Those who only wore light armor hid back. Land in the ship and use ship-based weapons to fight back.
Before the defenses were fully deployed, countless tanks appeared on the horizon, forming three torrents of steel and heading towards the landing base! At the same time, a large number of living missiles appeared in the sky, flying over the base against the storm clouds.
The fierce battle lasted for a full hour, and the Marine Corps' front line of defense was completely destroyed. They fought and retreated, and barely blocked Chu Jungui's attack under the cover of ship-borne weapons. Seeing the increasing damage caused by the ship-borne weapons, Chu Jungui finally reached a certain critical point and ordered a retreat.
Many tanks retreated like a tide, and some tanks even dragged the wreckage of their own destroyed tanks.
The landing site was filled with thick smoke, corpses and wreckage were everywhere, piles of supplies that had just been moved were still burning, and several landing ships on the periphery were destroyed.
Federation soldiers walked slowly among the wreckage, looking for survivors who were still alive. However, their efforts are doomed to fail. As long as the armor is damaged on Planet 4, they will lose their lives in one minute.
Admiral Morgan appeared in front of the soldiers again. His face was a little pale, and several parts of his armor had been replaced. The admiral's face was solemn, and he walked through the smoke, corpses and ruins, and the surroundings seemed to be an apocalyptic scene.
A staff officer next to him whispered and quickly reported the battle report that had just been calculated. More than 400 tanks were destroyed, hundreds of land assault boats were destroyed on the ground, 6 landing ships were damaged, and 2 of them were completely destroyed. There were more than 4,000 casualties, more than 500 wounded, and the rest were war dead.
When he heard the casualty ratio, the admiral paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward and coming to the wreckage of a destroyed Lightyear Chariot. The admiral looked around. The tank was only a hundred meters away from the central area, and two landing ships were left behind. This is the furthest chariot in the entire light year, and it is only one step away from Morgan's command center.
