In fact, there is no need to say that the people in the hall have already learned the level of fire that the 2013th Mechanized Infantry Regiment is encountering through the footage transmitted back to the base through the front-line reconnaissance unit.

Akmund was a thin old man with narrow eyes, who was accustomed to squinting his eyes to think about problems and examine the situation, giving him a very shrewd feeling.

He was one of His Majesty's most trusted courtiers and a cousin of Queen Elizabeth.

Of course, such nepotism does not hide his military talents, as now, many high-ranking officers have a hint of panic in their eyes, but he still holds the goblet steadily, and slides the few pieces of red wine into his mouth several times.

The vast majority of people present knew what the scene outside the city represented, which meant that Tang Fang had long known about the existence of Phoenix City and the natural disaster system, deliberately covered up the important siege level combat unit, used a small local force to attract the attention of the military, induced the natural disaster system to stimulate the lightning storm, and then used the charging gap to show the steel knife that had been ambushed under the nose of Phoenix City, and gave a fatal blow.

In other words, the pursuit of the Hal palace was itself a conspiracy.

After understanding these situations, combined with the front-line combat images transmitted back by the reconnaissance unit, feeling panicked is almost the most normal psychological reaction of ordinary people.

Only Akmund, very calm, very calm...... The thumb and index finger of the right hand pinched the goblet, the little finger was slightly cocked, and gently put it in the female assistant's hand, and then stood up from the sofa, and the faint back covered the area behind him.

"Order the special operations battalion to strengthen the defense line of the city, and the robot troops will attack on all fronts to ensure that every inch of land in the city is under our absolute control, so that the enemy's special forces will not enter the city to carry out sabotage activities."

"The 2013 Brigade was ordered to shrink the defensive line, relying on superior terrain and delaying the offensive of the enemy's mechanized forces to the maximum. Cooperate with reinforcements to outflank the flanks and cut off the enemy's rear route. ”

"Order the anti-aircraft to open full fire to minimize the enemy's air force."

"Order laser weapons to prioritize the enemy's long-range fire."

"Order the Combat Engineering Department to activate a modular defense system to assist ground units in the defense of important areas."

"The 340th Fire Brigade, the 765th Artillery Brigade was ordered, to fire the enemy's charging formations. Spread the opponent's forces as much as possible and break down the attack combo. ”

"Order the 2014 and 2015 Mechanized Infantry Brigades, the 1375 Armored Brigade, and the Black Beret Ranger Regiment to return to Phoenix as quickly as possible."

"Tell Professor Ellar and his team to start the satellite reactor immediately and speed up the charging of the disaster system."

“……”

Akmund's voice was deep, but his words were unusually clear, and he couldn't hear any tremors, so calm that he felt like he was in control.

Undoubtedly, this helps to stabilize the mood of the subordinates and allow those staff members to be able to calm down. Concentrate on the next battle. Although they do not have to go to the battlefield, they are the link between the command system and the combat strength of the front, and if there is a problem here, it is more likely to lead to a rout on the whole front than a failure in some details.

The communications group issued the above-mentioned orders to combat units at all levels in an orderly manner, while the data processing team stepped up to process the data aggregated by the front-line reconnaissance network to the command center, and pushed them to the virtual sand table, display array, resource management system, urban modular control team, and other units, forming a linkage mechanism to cope with the ever-changing situation on the battlefield. The people of the General Staff also carried out more detailed tactical deductions under the leadership of the Chief of Staff. Determine a new battle plan.

Akmund is like a towering sacred tree, supporting a bird's nest. propped up the tree nest, supported the tall buildings, and even the entire sky, so that the staff of the command center could find the direction, no longer confused, no longer panicked. Throw yourself into the battle for the survival of Phoenix.

The female assistant with gold-rimmed glasses took out a cigarette and lit it to his mouth, and walked down with a plate with a light and slow step, in stark contrast to the fierce fighting on the big screen.

She was Akmund's assistant. In a sense, it is also his symbol.

The so-called leader sometimes doesn't say anything, doesn't do anything, as long as he is there, people can see it, let people hear it, he can play a mainstay role.

At a time when the atmosphere in the command center was subtly changing, the confrontation on the Eastern Front intensified.

The cannonballs that flew out of Phoenix City bloomed into black clouds in the sky, filling almost the entire sky, like drops of ink falling on the surface of the water, spreading rapidly.

The artillery fire on the ground became more intensive, the whistling of grenades and bullets were connected, and black shadow raindrops generally sprinkled on the ground, blooming like fountains, sandstorms and flames, almost burying the entire battlefield.

The rockets poured out by the city defense system and armed aircraft whizzed by, turning into a wave of firepower, and under the cover of ground anti-aircraft guns, they went straight to the airspace where the king worm was.

When the two teams of Viking fighters split to the left and right, and when the wings were perpendicular to the ground, the Gatling cannon spat out a rapidly expanding tongue of fire, and the warhead pierced the air with a sharp sound, and a rain of light swept through the sky, piercing the shells of several rockets, flowing out a wisp of flame, and then bursting into a dazzling flame.

Not every rocket will be fired by the Viking fighters, and there are still several rockets that break through the fire net, and under the adjustment of the tail, they change their flight altitude from time to time, and rush straight towards the large but slow meat balls.

At the same time, the flames in Phoenix City rose, and some high-powered surface-to-air missiles rose from the silos, carrying clouds of smoke like dragons, and the speed changed from fast to slow, approaching the location of the flying dragon and the explosive mosquito.

The missile's flash of fire nearly set the sky east of Phoenix on fire.

Five iron crows were wiped from high altitude, and fixed-point defense target aircraft and illuminated drones were pushed to the battlefield, enveloping the entire Phoenix City in the field of vision.

The crimson beams of light passed through the wind and sand and gunsmoke, hitting the missiles flying like demons flying like a swarm of demons with great accuracy, directly turning them into large firecrackers, forming a chain of explosions in the sky, and the rapidly spreading shock waves formed waves of air, colliding with each other, tearing the smoke and the wind into countless pieces.

On the ground, the shock tanks raised like a waterfall of yellow sand, and advanced through the gaps in the fountains of fragments splashed by the explosion. FOUR 75MM CALIBER PLASMA GUNS CONTINUOUSLY SPRAYED TONGUES OF FIRE, POURING HIGH-EXPLOSIVE SHELLS INTO THE POSITIONS OUTSIDE THE CITY WALL, STIRRING UP WHIRLPOOL-LIKE FLAMES, AND COUNTLESS FRAGMENTS SWIRLED AROUND, FORMING A WIDE RANGE OF SPLASH KILLING.

The soldiers in the bunkers and trenches, even if they were wearing power armor, were suppressed and could not lift their heads. The kind of fast tank is too ruthless, the rate of fire is amazing, completely different from the general main battle tank, the shells do not fall on the position one by one, but a dozen and a dozen overhead, many soldiers who want to rely on the protection of power armor to fight back, are pierced into a hornet's nest by the flying shrapnel, and even the bunker has become full of holes, abandoned by the soldiers. It can only be used as a makeshift shield for some tanks and armored vehicles, to ward off the raindrops of fragments and jets.

THE SOLDIERS WERE EQUIPPED WITH 12.7MM MACHINE GUNS AND 25MM CANNONS, WHICH COULD NOT BREAK THROUGH THE ARMOR OF THE SHOCK TANK, AND EVEN THE 120MM ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS OF THE LEYTER TANK AND THE GATE TANK ONLY LEFT A MASS OF DEPRESSIONS IN ITS ARMOR, WHICH COULD NOT CAUSE FATAL DAMAGE.

The only thing that could threaten the assault tank was the middle and upper railroad batteries of the city wall that were more than 30 meters high, but the plasma balls splashed by the siege tanks exploded at the top of the wall, and the high-temperature jets flew in all directions like fireworks, ablating countless craters in the wall. The smoke of gunfire almost covered the important area, and the city walls could not be seen from a distance. There was only flowing black smoke and colorful lines of fire.

Of course, this does not completely prevent the city defense facilities from playing a role, in the inner area, the bunker raised from the ground divides the building into a defense module, and there are rows of laser cannons standing between the bunkers and bunkers, respectively, sending out red rays to the sky and the ground.

their existence. Bringing a lot of trouble to the troops of the three tribes, the shock tank can carry the high-energy laser fire because of its heavy armor, and continue to push forward to suppress the fire. The Viking fighters in the sky could not ignore these killing beams.

A Viking fighter is affected by air turbulence. The fuselage was slightly unbalanced, and it did not make an evasive action in time, and was slashed by a laser beam from the left side of the fuselage, directly piercing the flying wings, destroying the stability of the fuselage, and spinning and falling from the sky.

The Viking pilot's reaction was quick, and when he was close to the ground, he used the method of reducing the thrust of the relevant engines to temporarily stabilize the fuselage, and at that moment the transformation process was initiated.

At the front of the battlefield, a creep snorting and panting in a trench with a pile of dead men was fortunate enough to witness its transformation from a fighter plane into a robot.

He could even make out the face of the man in the cockpit who was so calm that it seemed to be frozen, even if the Viking fighter plane almost crashed, almost turning into smoking metal trash on the ground.

THE GATLING CANNON WITH A CALIBER OF 40MM HELD THE GROUND LIKE A HUMAN HAND, AND THE HUGE INERTIA CARRIED THE BODY OF THE VIKING FIGHTER TO SHOVEL A LONG MARK ON THE GROUND, AND THE YELLOW SAND WAS LIKE RAIN, CRACKLING AND FALLING INTO THE TRENCH, BURYING THE LONG-DEAD SOLDIERS.

The surviving creep cowered in the pile of dead men, not daring to move, and watched with fear through the gap in the sand that lay out on the surface of the mask, raising two Gatling cannons and firing a storm of fire at a Rett light tank in the trenches behind.

The muzzle of the cannon rotated rapidly, the tongue of fire swallowed out, and there was a sharp sound, and the heavy bullet chain danced up and down behind the barrel, and one after another shells popped out, falling densely to the ground, and then being stepped into the ground by a big steel foot.

There was a ping-pong sound from the rear, followed by a roar, and you don't have to think about it to know how the Rett tank will end.

At this moment, a rocket hit the chest of the Viking fighter, but it only exploded the baffle, and did not cause fatal injuries, and then the soldiers saw that the missile bays on the shoulders of the big guy spewed out a stream of fire, and 8 missiles were like dancing dragons, shooting out in a bend, pouring in the depth of the position, stretching out a line of fire, injuring and killing countless individual soldiers.

Two soldiers were drilled out of the pile of dead men, dragging sticky explosives in their hands, and slowly moved towards the foot of the fighter, preparing to take advantage of the mech's difficulty in attacking close targets to take out the big guy who had penetrated deep into their own position.

At that moment, a shadow flashed through the sky, and with the whining of wind and the cacophony of insects, four ugly reptiles with gliding wings landed in the crater behind the mech.

The two soldiers froze for a moment, and then two pairs of long, sharp bone spurs appeared on the edge of the crater, followed by a chilling face.

They tried to pull out the guns pinned behind them, but the bugs were too fast, and jumped straight out of the crater, using a gliding stance to pounce on the two of them, and the bone spurs were sent forward, easily cutting through the defenses of the Pilgrim-level power armor with a thud. Piercing the driver's body.

Whoa, whoa......

The screech of bullets screeching through the air was heard, and the bullets fired from the large-caliber sniper rifles hit the nest worms, exploding in a cloud of blood mist, but it still didn't save the lives of the two soldiers, as the Viking's feet had fallen from the sky. Directly stomp on the power armor and turn the soldiers inside into a puddle of flesh.

Blood gushed out from the breach in the power armor, staining the ground red, bringing some dampness to the long-drought sandbar, but it wasn't fresh and had a strong taste.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

SEVERAL MISSILES WERE FIRED FROM A MOBILE MISSILE CART NEAR THE CANNON OUTPOST, HITTING THE VIKING FIGHTER'S BODY IN SUCCESSION, FINALLY DESTROYING THE TWO 40MM GATLING CANNONS, RENDERING THE MECH, WHICH HAD BEEN OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT, INCAPACITATED.

That's when it happened. Several black shadows fell from the sky, and more than 20 nest insects scattered into the trenches at the front line, like an undulating black tide, spreading towards the vertical area of the position.

Fragmentation grenades exploded in the trenches, and the rear sentry fire erupted with dazzling tongues of fire, venting the rain of bullets on the road where the nest insects passed, but this did not stop their attack, and the second wave of nest insects followed closely to the front line. Kill the soldiers in the trenches and quickly eat away at the defensive line built by the 2013 Mechanized Infantry Brigade.

Above the façade of the Phoenix is a large railgun. The second gear is the missile launch system, the third gear is the small and medium-caliber high-speed turret and some laser weapons, and the lower gear is the territory of machine guns and large-caliber sniper rifles, and the circular outer wall of more than 30 meters high is like a hedgehog full of spikes, with a daunting makeup.

This is Phoenix, the largest land fortress in Cabreto. Since it is a fortress. Naturally, it should look like a fortress, in fact, in addition to the dense defenses between the outer wall and the core pyramid, there is also a quantum teleporter in the depths of the underground complex, which is used to save lives at critical moments, but no one knows about it except for Zangowell and Akmund.

It is a pity that His Majesty died a simple death. There's no chance of hiding here.

The front wall is like a fire monster, spewing fire and smoke outward, and it is also swallowed up by the fire network built by siege tanks, shock tanks, Thor, Viking fighters, and immortals. Higher up, the Guardian rises to tens of thousands of feet under the protection of the Wyvern, taking advantage of its position to spray clouds of highly corrosive spores into Phoenix City to carry out long-range bombardment of heavy railguns and more dexterous laser cannons.

The position below the city wall became a tug of war between the Hive Insect Lord and the mechanized infantry and armed vehicles of the 2013 Brigade, and the soldiers gradually stabilized their positions with the cover of machine guns and the speed batteries of the city wall.

However, just when the 340th Firepower Brigade and the 765th Artillery Brigade arrived at the Near Eastern Front Theater to carry out a concentrated attack on the Thor Squad, which was relatively slow to attack the rear of the shock tank but with incomparably powerful firepower, and split the attack formation of the three-clan coalition army under the Tang side, the war situation outside the city wall changed abruptly.

Bulges suddenly bulged out on the flat sand outside the trenches, and the sandstorm rose, and a huge mouth shaped like a worm was drilled underground, and a deafening roar was raised to the sky, and the sound waves and breath directly blew away the falling sand and gunsmoke.

The soldiers of the nearby 2013 Brigade stared blankly at the mountain-like beast, their faces turned pale, and several of them were so frightened that they didn't even have time to pick up their guns, so they turned around and crawled to the rear.

The neck muscles of the tunnel worms stretched upward, shook from side to side a few times, and then slowly retracted to the ground, and one by one poisonous explosive insects and puppies poured out of it, with a vicious wind and fishy smell, and poured into the steel position made of armored vehicles and tanks at the core of the position.

This is not the first tunnel worm, nor is it the last tunnel worm, a total of 5 tunnel worms have surged out of the entire Eastern Front battlefield near the 2013 Brigade position, and a large number of puppies have kept rushing out of it, converging into a wave of insects, and together with the nest insect clusters falling from the sky, they flock to the depth of the rear of the position.

The screams of the insect swarm suppressed the sound of guns and cannons for a while, and the aliens that could not be killed almost destroyed the confidence of the soldiers defending the city.

When the front positions were in disarray, just as Akmund had predicted, there were also large-scale riots inside Phoenix. The enemy also comes from underground, but unlike the outside, it is not transported by tunnel worms, but by devourers of comparable size to armored vehicles with cockroaches, and they are specially aimed at defense facilities and missile vehicles, artillery trucks, mobile microwave weapons, electronic bomb ejection systems and other long-range fire units of the 340 Fire Brigade and the 765 Artillery Brigade.

Although Akmund had already planned the battle in advance and made arrangements for the defense of the city, in the face of tricky dogs, ghosts, ghosts, fanatics, and even high-ranking Templars, the result was that he was defeated and retreated, losing several firepower positions one after another, weakening the suppression of the front line.

This was alleviated when the secondary towers joined the battle sequence, and a huge arc of electricity shot out from the spire amplifier, snaking a bolt of lightning that roasted the cockroaches into smoking death beetles.

Although they can only accurately hit medium-sized units such as Devourers and Cockroaches, and cannot pose much of a threat to small, agile Zealots, puppies, ghosts, and ghosts, they still greatly delay the rout of the firepower suppression troops. (To be continued.) )
