"Sir, there's a situation!" Just as a fifth of the civilians had been evacuated, an alarm rang out from the clones on the perimeter. △，

"What's the matter?" The clone officer who led the team was a second lieutenant, named himself Vincent, at a time when there was a general shortage of qualified officers in the clone forces (after all, in another time and space, it was usually natural people who served as officers, and the proportion of clone-born officers was very low.) The fact that he can become an officer, even though it is only the lowest, also shows that his ability is good.

"I found a large force of Sijing people shockwave quadruped robots, the number of which cannot be calculated for the time being, because there is no end in sight on my side, and there are more than 100 searchers and walking cannons in it." The sentry reported, "It looks like the nearby defenders' line of defense has been broken through in large sections, or that gap has been widened." Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many enemies. ”

"How long will it take for them to reach us?"

"No more than fifteen minutes, maybe even less, and they're heading straight towards the checkpoint position."

"I see, find a way to delay them, we need more time."

"Then we need air support, otherwise we can't do it."

"Agreed, I will apply directly to the command for air fire support."

"Understood."

As soon as communication with the perimeter guard sentries ended, the clone ensign sent a request for support to Zhou Yi's headquarters, which was approved.

Since the inhabitants of the area had been checked several times, and after confirming that all had been evacuated, a full ten Auger attack aircraft were deployed to the area for fire support. However, since the enemy had anti-aircraft rifle guns, the attack planes were ordered to fly close to the roofs of the city buildings and use them as cover.

This is not a big problem for the clone pilots who are mass-produced from the training pod, and they may not have a lot of experience. They can't do too many stunts, but because they don't have any emotional ups and downs, their control of the aircraft is the most stable, just like robots.

And on the ground, the human army was not idle, and several troops were concentrated. Prepare to plug the gap in the line of defense that has been broken through by the enemy.

"Boom!" In the distance, orange fireballs suddenly rose up, and the Auger attack aircraft group had reached the sky above the invading enemy forces and began to carry out a ground attack mission. Their primary targets are, of course, those foot cannons that have precision anti-aircraft capabilities and pose the greatest threat to them. In fact, the number of foot guns in this wave of enemy troops is not small, and there are more than 30 of them found on the radar alone, if it is not for the use of urban buildings as cover. In addition, the narrow streets are not conducive to the deployment of ground forces, and the clone pilots will not just fly over the enemy forces to attack. As for the anti-aircraft fire of those suspended Seeker vehicles, the Auger attack aircraft equipped with heat-resistant ceramic armor can basically avoid without preoccupation as long as it is not hit in the same position all the time.

After sweeping away the rifle guns within range with anti-tank missiles, the ten Auger attack planes began to carpet bomb other ground targets with a large number of high-explosive rockets loaded by themselves.

The dense explosions and rising fireballs caused heavy losses to the attacking Sijing army, and the pace of progress was halted. As a last resort, their commanders who don't know where to hide. Infantry guns for air defense could only be constantly brought in from the rear, and then because they were not on a large scale. They were easily blown to pieces one by one by attack aircraft.

Although the Auger attack aircraft has an impressive bomb load, it can carry up to 16 anti-tank missiles and four sets of 36 80-mm rocket launchers. But now, after half an hour of ground attack, the ten Auger attack planes have used up all their ammunition.

And the result of their battle was that the city where the Sijing army was located was almost razed to the ground, and most of the invading Sijing troops were also under such a blow. Go up in smoke!

After running out of ammunition, these ten Auger attack planes need to return to the base 20 kilometers away for maintenance and replenishment of ammunition and fuel, and they will have to wait for two hours to strike again.

However, they still bought half an hour for the ground forces to operate, which allowed the ground forces to carry more people. But......

"Not enough. That's not enough time! Major Carter said to Captain Cheney and Second Lieutenant Vincent of Iron Eagle that after leaving the transfer of civilians to his subordinates, he also arrived at the checkpoint with a platoon of soldiers, but the more than 2,000 civilians who had already passed out were really not enough time to evacuate them all.

"Then we'll have to ...... here," Second Lieutenant Vincent said, gesturing to the street, "set up a defense to stop the other side from continuing the attack." Our planes have already destroyed most of their heavy equipment, and most of them are Shock Wave Robots, which with our current force should be able to resist for a long time to cover the evacuation of civilians. ”

"But we lack heavy firepower!" Major Carter said, "Our soldiers are not like you, and our individual weapons are not effective against those four-legged robots! With that kind of quantity, a few tanks and a few Reapers, it won't do much at all! That G25 heavy rifle, I now have less than 100 troops in my hands! ”

"But the environment in this area is more complicated, and we can blow up a few buildings to create an artificial defense line." Speaking of this, Vincent simply took out his data board and put the surrounding satellite images on it for Carter and them, "As long as this and this and these buildings are targeted blasting, a large area around us can be sealed, and if you want to come, you can only turn over from the rubble." We only need to leave a gap, according to ordinary people's thinking, since there is a road, naturally we will not think about climbing over the ruins, and we will only use concentrated fire to block the gap. And reinforcements will be sent from above, so we just need to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. ”

"Well, you have a point, but we don't have sappers on our hands," Major Carter said, gesturing to the soldiers behind him, "we can't do this job." ”

"Leave this to us." "We had enough explosives with us to complete the barricadage program." ”

"Then we'll be the first to arm." Seeing that Iron Eagle's men took over the blasting task, Carter didn't say anything more, and quickly arranged the defense with his own people, leaving them little time to prepare.

As the main heavy firepower, three Riemanrus tanks were deployed to a relatively spacious street entrance, and then covered with a large number of sandbags to strengthen the defense, so that it is much better for the defense of plasma weapons, after all, the killing of plasma weapons mainly relies on high-temperature ablation, not kinetic energy penetration, as long as the thing is thick enough, it will definitely be able to block, whether it is bulletproof material or not, as long as it is not so easy to burn.

As for the two Reaper mechs, they are placed in the alley, ready to rush out for fire support, after all, their armor is not as good as the Riemanrus tank, if they are facing the plasma weapon, they will not be able to hold a few shots.

Due to the lack of heavy firepower, Carter and the others can't actually do much, so they can only concentrate the firepower as much as possible to get a greater killing effect.

Not far away, there was the occasional loud explosion from Second Lieutenant Vincent of Iron Eagle leading men to blast the surrounding buildings, so that the debris of the collapsed buildings would block the streets and block the passages that might be circumvented by the enemy.

Half an hour seemed like a lot, but it wasn't enough to actually use it, and before they could finish their defenses, there was a lot of footsteps moving in the distance, and those shockwave robots had four legs, and the movement speed was not too slow.

"Boom!" With another loud explosion, the last house in the defense plan collapsed in the skyrocketing smoke, blocking the last street that could reach their back.

Then, in the gap they had set aside, the only road leading to the transfer area, the figures of those four-soccer body shock wave robots appeared, and they were rushing towards Major Carter's defense! At the same time, the sparse red plasma also flew towards the human position from the direction in which they appeared! (To be continued......)
