Starfighter

As night fell, the sound of gunfire from the mountains in the southeast of Manta City's outskirts slowly fell.In a valley, the soldiers of the 74th Armored Division of the Federation, who had fought fiercely all day, were temporarily resting and waiting for orders.Hao Yi, whose clothes and armor were soaked in blood, was lying sprawled on top of a siege tank whose turret had been blown off, tilting his head and squinting his eyes to count the dazzling lights that flashed across the sky from time to time.Those rays of light are not beautiful meteors streaking across the sky, but the laser beams of battleships bombarding the rebel positions in the distance.

Beside him, Hu Erpang held a bag of individual rations in his hand, stuffed his mouth full of food, and leaned his head on the track of the chariot, unexpectedly, with such a difficult posture, he was able to snore loudly.The rest of the armored soldiers all gathered together in twos and threes, talking in low voices or smoking cigarettes to check each other's wounds, and some were carefully inspecting their guns or inspecting the wounds on their tank mechs.

In the daytime battle, although there were battlecruisers covering fire at high altitude, the casualties of the ground troops of the expeditionary force were still not small.The rebels, who had been prepared for a long time, used the mines everywhere to almost connect the entire interior of the mountain, and then reinforced it with thick rock layers and next-generation steel armor for warships to build solid underground fortifications.Some fortifications were even safe and sound under the continuous bombardment of the battlecruiser's secondary guns.Except for the fortifications exposed on the ground and the rebels who were too late to retreat to the underground fortifications, the carpet bombing of the battlecruisers hardly hurt the rebels' vital forces.

When the fierce artillery fire from the battlecruisers has just ceased and the ground armored groups of the expeditionary force attack again, the rebels will suddenly emerge from various underground fortifications and forcefully join the offensive formation of the expeditionary force , so that even the ghosts and banshee fighters hovering at high altitude for cover cannot effectively support the ground troops.

At one point, the battle became so intense that even the marines on both sides began to stage a series of brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat.In the end, the commander of the federal army had no choice but to order the phantom fighter planes to leave the range of the mothership's force field, venture into low altitudes, and forcibly carry out precise bombing of the underground fortifications of the rebels.After losing countless Wraith and Banshee fighter planes, the expeditionary force finally took over slightly, forcing the rebels to abandon their positions and retreat.

Although a small victory was achieved, the ground attack force of the expeditionary force also suffered heavy casualties.Hao Yi's 74th Armored Division lost nearly half of its tanks and mechas, and the casualties were countless.

"Damn it, it seems that fighting is really not fun!" Hao Yi let out a long breath as he counted the rays of light passing by in the sky, and sighed inwardly.The marines were torn to pieces by the fierce artillery fire, and the tanks and mechas together with the armored soldiers inside were blasted into a ball of "gorgeous" fireballs. Hao Yi, who witnessed the tragic death of his comrades with his own eyes, gradually calmed down the pain in his heart. The faint commotion of the warlike cells.Although he is so nervous that he never knows how to write about fear, but he is not the kind of extremely cold-blooded person.

"Er Pang, after this battle, Brother Hao will take you home!" Turning his head and seeing Hu Er Pang sleeping soundly at his feet, Hao Yi felt a little distressed.The honest and honest Hu Erpang gave up the superior living conditions at home and followed him into the army without any complaints, and was pushed to the battlefield inexplicably.If he has some ups and downs, Hao Yi really doesn't know how to explain to Er Pang's parents.Thinking of this, Hao Yi felt a little heavy in his heart.

"Haoyi, Hu Liangtao! Where are you two bastards!" Just as he was thinking wildly, Haoyi suddenly heard a familiar voice from afar. "Lieutenant Meehan?" Hao Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then recognized that it was the voice of the squad leader Meehan.Because soldiers were strictly forbidden to make loud noises when the troops were resting, Meehan's shouts seemed a little depressing.

"Lieutenant Meehan, I'm here!" In the night that was occasionally illuminated by artillery fire from the sky, he saw Meehan's blurred figure stumbling towards this side.Hao Yi hurriedly got up from the chariot, turned on the tactical light on his helmet, flashed it three times, and greeted in a low voice.

Seeing the signal from Haoyi, Meehan in the distance hopped up to Haoyi, smiled and punched Haoyi and said, "You little cat is counting the stars here?"

"Hello, sir!" Hao Yi jumped off the chariot and saluted, and suddenly saw the dirty Meehan with the rank of captain on his left arm through the shining light of artillery fire in the distance, so he joked with a smile: " Hey, the officer has been promoted to captain, shouldn't it be time to buy us a few drinks!"

"You son of a bitch! If you can go back alive, I ask you to drink for three days and three nights!" Mihan laughed and cursed, patted the dust on his captain's armband, sighed slightly, and his face became serious, Looking at the bandage wrapped around Haoyi's forehead, he asked with concern, "How are you two? The injury isn't serious, is it?"

"Don't worry, sir, I'm a cat, I can't die with nine lives!" Hao Yi grinned, and wanted to wake up Hu Erpang, who was still snoring beside him, but Mihan stretched out his hand to stop him.

"It's okay, let him sleep again!" Mihan leaned over and lightly inspected the wound on Hu Erpang's left arm. Seeing that the blood had still stopped, he was a little relieved, got up and said to Haoyi in a serious voice: "Hao Yi, there's another mission from above!"

"What?" Hao Yi was a little surprised when he heard the words: "What's wrong? Shouldn't we be asked to blow up the rebel ammunition depot again? Fuck, I came back with half my life last time! This time, don't let me directly Back in place!"

"Little bastard, it's not that serious!" Meehan smiled and punched Haoyi again, explaining: "This mission is not that dangerous. It is to rush to repair an air defense position abandoned by the rebels. That position has been destroyed. Our troops took it, and there is now a friendly Marine squad stationed there."

"That's fine, as long as we don't want to stab the rebels' hornet's nest again!" Hao Yi said exaggeratedly stroking his chest.

Hearing Haoyi's words, Meehan showed some guilt on his face, and said in a deep thought: "The last operation was an intelligence error by the division headquarters, and it may also be that our actions were detected by the rebels in advance. Hearing that your ambush After the news, the division commander was furious and severely scolded a group of division staff!" As he spoke, Meehan probably thought of something, and asked curiously: "By the way, how did you blow up the rebels in the last operation? The ammunition depot? According to Staff Officer Lu of the reconnaissance company who came back from the siege, there was less than a platoon of mecha left in the rebel base, and the rebel army had a whole regiment of troops!"

"Sir, we can't figure it out either!" Hao Yi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "When we woke up, the ammunition base of the rebels had already turned into a big bomb crater!"

"Well! Let's not talk about it. Take the time to rest. In half an hour, gather at my place and prepare for the mission!" Meehan nodded and stopped asking.

An hour later, Hao Yi and others dragged a lot of maintenance equipment, and took advantage of the night to grope up to the high ground where the air defense position was located.The air defense position was built on the main peak of an unknown highland, equipped with a powerful anti-orbital nuclear main gun, and more than ten air defense missile towers equipped with new anti-stealth radars.

The caliber of the anti-orbital nuclear main gun is as thick as three meters. The long and thick gun body is like a ballistic missile launcher. It relies on a powerful electromagnetic force field to gather high-yield nuclear energy at one point and launch it. Its power is second only to battle lines. Yamato guns for cruisers.This type of anti-orbital nuclear gun is mainly used to deal with large space warships in low-earth orbit.If it is directly hit by this kind of nuclear main gun, even a battlecruiser with strong skin and thick flesh will die.

This anti-rail gun is located under a solid mountain rock groove on the main peak. The gun body and launch base are buried more than ten meters underground, and only a black hole is exposed outside.The entire main gun position is protected by a second-generation ship armor plate several meters thick. It is difficult to destroy the main gun if it does not directly hit the launch base from the muzzle.The rest of the anti-aircraft missile towers are also half-hidden in the crevices of a pile of rocks, and the protection measures of the position are quite perfect.

What is strange is that during the fierce battle during the day, apart from the dozen or so anti-aircraft missile turrets that once caused heavy casualties to various fighter planes of the expeditionary force, the nuclear main guns in this air defense position did not even have a single shell. type out. "Maybe it's because our armored forces attacked too fast, and the rebels didn't have time to use this main gun!" When everyone passed through the newly repaired passage next to the gun muzzle and entered the underground launch base of the rail gun, Meehan looked at the thick gun. Cannon body, explained to Hao Yi and others.

Probably because the rebels retreated too hastily, they only had time to destroy the launcher of the main gun and the entrance passage, and they didn't even have time to detonate the bombs placed in the energy storehouse.The commander of the federal army probably hoped to repair the main gun to deal with the remnant space warships of the rebels that might appear at any time, so he sent field maintenance soldiers like Hao Yi to rush to repair the main gun.

Hao Yi and other maintenance soldiers completely repaired the main gun launcher in just one hour.

"Haoyi, Hu Liangtao! You two stay here and guard! Remember, don't let me mess around!" Captain Mihan dropped Haoyi and the other two, and took the rest of the maintenance team to rush to repair other air defenses Missile turret, before leaving, I did not forget to say a word.

"Don't worry, sir! I promise to watch over this foodie and not let him eat the nuclear cannon!" Haoyi agreed with a smile, and when he saw Meehan and others disappearing in the passage, he let out a ghostly scream of excitement. Looking at the huge launch tube outside the main room, in his mouth, he praised: "OK, this big guy can actually put the giant from the space, it is really great! No, I have to take a good look! "

After finishing speaking, Hao Yi left Hu Erpang, who was only looking for a comfortable guy to sleep soundly, and ran around fumbling here and there.

"Hey! What is this stuff?" Hao Yi, who was wandering around, suddenly noticed a square object with red light in a corner of the main control room.
