Chapter 1487: Crimson Galaxy Suppression Operation (14)

At 4:33 a.m., the Red Maple Republic launched a large-scale counterattack.

A total of 22 targets occupied by the Spin Water Federation yesterday were attacked almost at the same time, and the situations were extremely similar. The Red Maple Republic Army approached the bombing range under the cover of fog.

The orbital bomber in the sky was also affected by the fog and failed to provide warnings at all. It could not even provide fire support before the fog dispersed, otherwise it would be easy to blow up its own people.

The Army Command judged that the fog might be some kind of trick played by the Red Maple Republic, not a natural occurrence, but this detail was not important now, and immediately issued an order to defend the stronghold.

The urgent alarm woke all the soldiers from their dreams, and many people did not have time to dress up, put on clothes and pick up guns and went out.

Although the fog blocked the view, the soldiers who entered the trenches could hear the roar of the engine very clearly, and the armored forces of the Red Maple Republic were approaching.

This also made many soldiers in the trenches curse.

Because last night, the headquarters ordered the assault landing ship to support other friendly forces. Now, except for the artillery deployed before nightfall, there is almost no suitable anti-armor means on this position.

However, there is good news. As long as the soldiers look back, they can see that the more than 300-meter-long Swan has just started its engine and is slowly rising into the air. Even the thick fog cannot hide the huge figure, which brings confidence to many soldiers.

The artillery is loaded and the machine gun is loaded. Almost as soon as the first armored vehicle passes through the thick fog and tries to cross the trench, the battle directly reaches the white-hot stage. Everyone points the muzzle of the gun into the thick fog. No matter whether they can see the enemy or not, they will shoot first.

The firepower network of tracer bullets swept into the deep fog. Sometimes they were seen to be bounced off, and sometimes they seemed to hit the enemy, and screams could be heard vaguely.

The armored forces of the Red Maple Republic Army mixed with the infantry to advance. With the influence of the thick fog, it is difficult for the anti-armor firepower to directly hit the target. Now we only know that it seems to be getting closer and closer.

It may be the shells fired by the self-propelled artillery, which fell on the positions of the Spinning Water Federation one by one.

The soldiers immediately retreated back to the trenches, letting the mud hit them.

They knew that this was a barrage of bullets, and the enemy would soon come.

Everyone clenched their guns. When they attacked yesterday, they thought that the defenders had fortifications to hide in, which was definitely easier than charging in the hail of bullets.

But today, when they were attacked, the soldiers squatting in the trenches suddenly realized that this was not much better than yesterday!

Amid the deafening sound of artillery shells and rumbling tracks, the squad leader who was knocked unconscious slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you up? Can you move?"

A strange face appeared in front of the squad leader, and he touched his face and rubbed off a large piece of sticky mud.

"I should be able to move."

The squad leader then noticed that he was in a trench, surrounded by soldiers who were ready for battle, and handfuls of mud were scattered in with the explosion of artillery shells, making it smoky.

Even though he fainted, the squad leader did not let go of the gun in his hand. He used the gun as a crutch to support himself to stand up.

Looking around, the squad leader asked:

"Where is my soldier?"

The person who woke him up handed him a dog tag:

"He... Well, wait until the fight is over before you pick him up. It's not easy to bring back. I only had time to take this."

The squad leader stared at the dog tag and carefully put it in his chest pocket, which was already full of more than a dozen.

An infantry squad, once again, only the squad leader was left.

But there was no time for him to be sad, the roar of the engine was very close.

"Everyone raise your guns!"

The officer in the trench saw that Xu Jin's barrage had passed, and immediately ordered the soldiers to raise their guns and shoot.

His head was still dizzy, but the squad leader did not forget his mission as a soldier. He instinctively lay down in the bunker and aimed his gun.

Nothing could be seen clearly in the thick fog, but the sound could tell them that something was approaching.

Then, a whistle sounded in the thick fog. It was the charge whistle.

An eight-wheeled armored vehicle rushed out of the thick fog first, and the automatic weapon station on the top began to spray 20mm machine gun shells. At the same time, dense footsteps and shouts came from behind the armored vehicle, and the whole place was full of people.

The soldiers in the trenches pulled the trigger, and the automatic weapons sprayed flames crazily. A gun could easily sweep down a group of people.

But the enemy armored vehicle's strafing would also cause heavy losses to their side.

A 57mm energy cannon deployed behind the crowd opened fire. The armored vehicle that was just showing off its might was like being punched out of thin air. The heavy body of the vehicle jumped violently, and a smoking hole appeared on the front face. The high-temperature hot melt bomb quickly detonated the ammunition in the armored vehicle, turning it into a pile of burning garbage.

The high-temperature detonated ammunition sounded like a string of firecrackers, crackling.

However, there was no time to cheer for such a small victory. Immediately, a bright light like a cannon firing flashed in the thick fog.

The small-caliber shaped-energy gun positions that had just blown up the armored vehicles were blown away one after another.

There were not many anti-armor weapons on the battlefield. The assault landing ship was transferred to support friendly forces last night. If there were no more heavy weapons to assist, the soldiers in the trenches on the front line would probably have to use anti-tank grenades or directly use their bodies to do anti-tank gymnastics when facing armored units.

And bad news always comes one after another.

A tank with a twin 100mm gun and heavy armor drove out of the thick fog. It bypassed the wreckage of the destroyed armored vehicle and once again called out the possible machine guns and artillery around it.

The automatic weapon station above the head still pressed the soldiers in the trenches to prevent them from getting up, so they didn't even have the chance to throw anti-tank grenades.

The squad leader wanted to show his head to see if there was any opportunity, but he was immediately shot back by a burst of heavy machine gun bullets.

The glimpse just now showed him that a large number of enemy soldiers had appeared behind the tank, and it was only a matter of time before they pressed into the trench.

"Everyone! Prepare close-combat weapons!"

The officer in this trench also noticed it, and he immediately pulled out a laser pistol, ready to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy who was about to rush into the trench.

Shooting with a gun, this is basically something that anyone can do, but when it comes to close combat, it requires fearless courage.

The squad leader immediately installed a force field bayonet on his gun, touched the engineer shovel on his waist to make sure it was still in place, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down.

At this moment, heavy footsteps came from the back, and then the trench was illuminated by orange flashes.

Everyone squatted and took a quick look, and found that the tank that was still there showing off its might just now had turned into burning scrap copper and rotten iron.

Looking back, a pair of eyes emitting green light came out of the thick fog, and the orange flash that lit up when it opened fire allowed everyone to barely distinguish that it was a humanoid thing.

It seemed to have a beam burst weapon on its head, and it fired left and right at the enemy troops approaching the trench, causing the enemy troops to lose their armor and weapons.
