0535 TIDE RISING (8)

0535

As soon as Captain Pete raised his head out of the turret, he heard a "whine" air tearing sound over his head, and quickly looked up to see that it was a half-cut Apache gunship on fire falling from the sky with a whirl! It's about to hit the captain's carcass!

"Accelerate!" Pete shrank his head back into the turret, and closed the hatch by the way, but he was already screaming out loud. Luckily, his car didn't stop somewhere, but was maneuvering, so as soon as he roared, the car rushed forward several meters away, and he was able to avoid the falling helicopter!

"Hell ?! What's going on? Wiping off a sweat, Pete got out of the turret again, looked back at the wreckage of the helicopter that was still exploding and burning after the fall, then looked at the line of fire, and muttered to himself, "Is the anti-aircraft capability of the Sijing people's weapons so strong?" "As an officer, I received information about the Sijing people before the war, but the so-called Sijing mobile air defense weapons in the information, such as the searcher and the rifle gun, have a pretty good interception ability to intercept low-altitude targets, so after the firefight, the heavy firepower of the Pitt unit is also a priority to solve those things, searchers, foot cannons and other Sijing armed vehicles, although the shell is still thick enough, the M1A2 depleted uranium armor-piercing shells also need two to three rounds to solve one, but now, there are not a few, But the Apache who came for reinforcements were still shot down.

"Captain, we need more air support!" It seems that the downed gunship is not just the one on Pete's head, and the calls of other platoons sounded in his headphones, "With laser guidance, even at this distance, on a night like this, the Air Force should be able to provide support, right?"

"I've already applied!" Pete replied angrily. "But I heard that the situation on the base side is not good, the Sijing people have another larger force in the other direction of the base, because the ground forces are concentrated in our direction, so the air force may not be able to take care of our side at this time! They had to fight off another force of the Sijing before they approached the base! ”

“****! Even if we don't have an armed vehicle, the Sijing robot in front of us is enough to swallow us all! ”

Pete didn't answer, his gaze turned not far away. An M1A2 was attacked by a large number of plasma shells in many places all over its body, and the heavy armor was burned through by the high temperature, forming many holes, and finally a dense plasma bomb directly passed through those burned holes, hitting and detonating the shells, completely destroying the main battle tank, and the M1A2 was his wingman.

Even heavily armored main battle tanks will be pierced through their armor if they are hit by a large number of small plasma bullets from the shockwave robots. Not to mention medium and light vehicles such as armored vehicles, which are relatively weakly armored, and as for human infantry, let alone what will happen to them.

However, in just half an hour of fighting, Pete's tank company had now lost most of its tanks, and if it weren't for the base sending other reinforcements, the defense line would have been broken through by the Sijing people. Speaking of which, Pete was very puzzled as to how the Iron Eagle Company was able to confront these Sijing people's combat weapons that were pouring in like a tide. It seems that they have other times except for two base defense battles. They all repelled the Sijing army with a small number of troops, right? How exactly did they do it? It's a pity that even if the intelligence department does its best, it is always one step behind Iron Eagle, and it is often Iron Eagle who has to finish fighting before discovering their actions, so intelligence is collected. Unable to get what the military needs most, what exactly did Iron Eagle do.

He didn't know what happened to Iron Eagle during the previous battle in the Sahara, and for some reason, although it had been a few days since the relevant information had passed this time, it had not yet been distributed to the grassroots combat units.

"Although there is no air support. At least we can get artillery support. Pete comforted his subordinates, "Those robots can't withstand the shelling of heavy artillery." ”

"Captain Pete!" There was a new voice on the radio, and Pete could hear it, it was the voice of Captain Norkeland of Company B, whose company was in charge of the right flank of Pete's Company A, but now his voice sounded a little anxious, "I think we need to back a little!" ”

"Why?" Pete asked, "Although our losses are not small, with the support of artillery, isn't the battle line basically stable?" "The losses are very large, but in addition to the casualties of some vehicle drivers, the casualties of the infantry are not too large, and the most losses are still those heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles, but after the base continues to transport replenishment, the lack of firepower is not too serious.

"Hell, can't you see?" Captain Nochlan cried out, "My company has lost almost all of its heavy firepower!" Even my own tank was badly damaged and has been abandoned! I need to step back and regroup! ”

"What's going on?" Pete was surprised, "What about the base for your supplements?" Is it also lost? ”

"How do I know what's going on!" Captain Nochlan became more and more frenzied, "I TM only know that there are more enemies attacking the right flank than attacking the front!" There were even bots attacking from my side! The strength of Sijing people is several times that of us! They could have surrounded us all! ”

"I see!" Pete replied, "I'll contact Command, and you can contact Captain Hancock of Company C." ”

"Then you have to hurry! I'm not sure how much longer I'll last! With that, Captain Nochland cut off the communication.

With a sigh, Captain Pete took another look at his position, and after making sure that there was nothing too much to pay attention to for the time being, he connected to the communications of the headquarters.

Presumably, the command also knew about the situation of the troops, so Captain Pete did not have much effort to get permission from above to retreat and regroup, and as for the positions they had abandoned, the command only told him to leave it alone, and someone would solve it.

Although he was very puzzled that the troops were completely insufficient, where could the base send new troops, but anyway, it was said above, so he was not interested in asking more, and naturally there were people above to top it up if something happened. Besides, although his company is in better condition than the other two, it is not much better, and it really needs to be stepped down and reorganized.

"Hell, I've never fought such a bad war!" Directing the remnants of the troops to retreat to the rear and abandon the previous defensive line, Captain Pete's radio sounded the voice of Captain B Company Nochland again, "Even if you were surrounded by armed militias in the Middle East before, it has never been so miserable!" It reminds me of what my grandfather told me about World War II! ”

"That's because we haven't fought a fight of this intensity." Pete replied to Nokland, "Now we are not facing a tribal armed force with poor weapons and lack of weapons, and the weapons of those Sijing people are no worse than ours, or even more advanced than ours. From the very beginning, we were pressed and beaten by the other side, and if it weren't for the fact that they didn't have equipment such as long-range artillery, I was afraid that we wouldn't be able to hold it for even half an hour. ”

"That's right, that's why we are lucky......"

Before Noklan's voice could be heard, from the high above their heads, dozens of golden balls of light crossed and landed on the abandoned defense line, covering most of the Sijing people's combat weapons that were enough to be described as covering the mountains and fields, and the dense explosions and fireballs fifty or sixty meters high immediately appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the deafening and shocking explosion even made people want to cover their ears!

"I'm F***! What is that? Tactical missiles? "Captain Hancock of Company C also shouted in the communication channel, his troops were closest to the line of defense, so the explosion was more intuitive to them.

"I don't know what it is, could it be a new type of shell?" Pete said with some uncertainty, he seemed to have heard that the military was equipped with a batch of weapons with considerable power, although he didn't know what kind of weapons they were, but seeing the huge fireball in the air and the heat wave that seemed to be felt from so far away, he was somewhat convinced that it was true.
