Dimensional Alliance

"What if this is true?" Commander Lucia looked over in surprise: "Aren't you afraid that after we kill this guy, our time will be 'reset' back to a few days ago?"

"I may not be able to tell whether the imitator photographed by the drone is real or not in the future, but I can be sure that this one must be fake." The commander of the human coalition forces had already sorted out his thoughts at this time, and he hummed softly He let out a sound, as if he was dissatisfied with being frightened by the imitator's trick for a moment just now.

After being reminded by the human coalition forces, some commanders also woke up from the state of being on the edge of a dead end, showing an expression of sudden realization, but this General Lucia obviously still didn't understand the reason why the human coalition forces made this judgment, and he stared at the screen again After a few seconds, he was still puzzled and asked, "What evidence did you find to distinguish it from Alpha?"

"I can't tell from the appearance, but I can be sure that it is definitely not a real Alpha," the human coalition replied, "We must first have a clear consensus, that is, before we don't know, the imitators have already done it countless times. Having lived through our 'future', they already know very well the choices we make in the 'now' and in the days to come."

This consensus was made at the first official meeting with the United Nations Army when the Human Alliance relayed the intelligence provided by William Cage to various countries in the world, in order to reduce casualties in subsequent battles, although at the meeting The top commanders of the United Nations Army basically agree with this reasonable request of the human coalition forces, but not all countries can quickly adapt to the prerequisite of "complete exposure of their own left and right tactics", and occasionally analyze the battlefield or formulate tactics Forgot this requirement in the process, but at least everyone has a more specific image of it in their minds.

Therefore, when the human coalition commander took the initiative to remind, the commanders of all countries immediately agreed.

After seeing everyone nodding, the human coalition commander continued: "Then suppose we open fire to attack this Alpha now, and the imitator really dares to put the real Alpha in this position, when it dies, except for' Humans really dare to fire at the bait, it can't bring any useful information to the past self, and the past imitator commanders can't make any adjustments to their strategies and tactics."

"But on the other hand, when we eliminate this Alpha, the past imitators will also know that we will definitely attack the unit in front of us. If the commander of the imitator still insists on continuing to deploy Alpha in this position, then The imitator is only essentially establishing an alpha repeating death," the commander of the human coalition forces said, putting his hands together in a circle in front of him, "there is no meaningful time loop."

"In other words," the corner of the human coalition commander's mouth showed a somewhat mocking expression at this time, "if this Alpha is real, then from the moment we decide to fire, the imitators can only be seen on our side. Cycling through attacks, they're 'dead gear'."

"What if Alpha is circulating time through active death?" Commander Lucia nodded, but then frowned, and asked, "For example, the electromagnetic interference that the imitators are still maintaining on the battlefield, according to our All the information we have now, the first time it came out was the moment you opened the portal, and we have never seen a copycat display similar abilities or special units before."

"Let me explain in advance that I didn't mean to accuse you," Commander Lucia suddenly interrupted his argument, emphasizing his position, and then continued, "This shows that these aliens can also act according to your expectations." As imagined by the ability to go back in time, the cycle continues in a limited time, trying to complete a technological breakthrough, so is it possible that Alpha, which deliberately appears in a conspicuous position on the battlefield, is to attract us to attack so that they can reset time and continue to cycle technology? ?”

"It's not very likely," said a staff officer of the beautiful country this time. "The shape-shifting imitators have an easier way to kill themselves and reset time. If the imitators are for technological advancement, they don't need to appear in front of us."

"Yes, I think so too," a senior colonel of the Xia Kingdom also nodded, "Assuming that the behavior of the imitators is completely based on our actions in the next few days, then every move of these alien monsters cannot If we only focus on the present moment, if we think of it this way, there is only one purpose for their deliberate exposure, and that is to let us know that it already knows our plan and has already made countermeasures against this plan."

"And the purpose of the imitators is also very clear. After the imitators showed in a high profile that they can disguise themselves as Alphas with ordinary units, firstly, they can force us to give up the plan to capture Alphas, so that the real Alphas can be more effective on the battlefield. Flexible activities to collect more useful information, and secondly, it can also allow us to cast a mouse and weaken our ability to deliver firepower."

"After all, General Wang also said just now that we can only be sure that the imitator that appeared in front of us is a fake bait, but we cannot tell whether the imitator that will appear on the battlefield in the future is real or not."

Volume 1007 Time War: Chapter 0974 Chapter [-] Poor acting skills

0974

The "Alpha" that was actively exposed was quickly wiped out under the attack of the human coalition forces. However, as the human coalition forces speculated, the death of this "Alpha" did not cause any changes to the world, and time continued to pass normally. .

Although the human coalition forces cannot yet judge whether the imitator commander showed the "bait" to the human coalition forces at this time to interfere with the capture plan of the human coalition forces, or to limit the firepower of the human coalition forces, or in order to enter the retreat phase of the battle. Use these "decoys" to interfere with the speed of human retreat, but no matter what the possibility is, the human coalition now has to re-evaluate and re-evaluate the next capture plan.

——Yes, just re-modified instead of canceling directly.

Even though from this moment on, the commanders of the human coalition forces have had difficulty distinguishing whether the Alpha discovered by their side is a real individual with the ability to go back in time or a bait thrown by an imitator, the human coalition forces have not given up their plan to capture Alpha.

In addition to the fact that the most fundamental goal of the human coalition forces entering this world is to obtain the ability to look back in time, if they can learn the essence of the ability to look back in time one day earlier, the human coalition forces will be able to formulate more targeted tactics earlier, and the next battle will also change. more easily.

As for the obsession of the human coalition forces, the leaders of various countries in the world also expressed their understanding. Even if they start to pay attention to Alpha now, it may lead to a considerable increase in the number of casualties in the short term, but never In the long run, if the human coalition forces can obtain equivalent capabilities to the imitators, then the threat of the imitators to humans will be minimized.

However, how to adjust the imitator's capture plan is also a difficult test question.

At least for now, it seems that it is no longer appropriate to try step by step to find out which method can restrict Alpha's activities. In the preliminary revised plan of the human coalition forces, it is prepared to use all means immediately after discovering any special units suspected of being Alpha. It launched an attack, pressing all means such as electromagnetic bombs, supernatural bombs, and mind shocks.

As for whether these restrictive measures can have the expected effect, to be honest, after the imitators have shown that they know the capture plan of the human coalition forces, the human coalition forces actually do not have much confidence in themselves. It was a plan with the lowest success rate. Even in the original battle against the gods, the Human Alliance and the Foundation were at least [-]% sure that they would win after paying a certain price.

But no matter how the human coalition forces will modify the capture plan, the battle on the Eastern European front is still going on, and as the sun passes over the heads of the troops and gradually sinks to the west, the human defense line also begins to simultaneously reduce its own firepower projection capability.

By [-] o'clock in the evening, the strategic bombers and air gunboats had completely withdrawn. After the Rocket Army troops withdrew to the fourth preset defense line, the frequency of drone dispatches was halved, and the artillery troops also stopped covering the imitator troops with firepower. Bomb target locations only when troops actively call for reinforcements.

With the weakening of fire support, the large force of imitators was able to quickly approach the human position. During the attack of the imitators, the frontier reconnaissance position composed of unmanned defense facilities, underground detectors and earthquake generators in the outermost part of Xia State was the first to fall. At [-]:[-] p.m., it was completely turned into ruins. The destroyed unmanned turret and the fragments of the earthquake generator were scattered all over the place, and only the twisted steel bars with strange shapes were left protruding from the remaining base of the turret.

Most of the facilities in Xia Guo's forward positions were destroyed by the orange energy beams fired by the imitators and the skin-to-body tearing. The energy beams emitted by the imitators' long-range units can also cause fatal damage to the light armor units in the forward positions, whether it is underground Detectors are still earthquake generators, and as long as they are hit by an imitator's attack, they will malfunction. As for the sentry machine guns deployed by the human coalition forces outside the forward position, they can withstand the attack of two energy bombs at most, and they will be destroyed. The whole snapped off.

As for the guardian turret deployed by the Reg multi-purpose vehicle, it can rely on solid frontal armor to resist the attack of imitators' long-range weapons, but even at the end of the Scrin War, the human coalition has already replaced most of the guardian turrets Equipped with electromagnetic main guns and a more advanced fire control system, it can basically achieve 100% hit and kill effects on imitator ground units on the battlefield with imitators.

However, due to the rate of fire, when a guardian turret needs to face ground units that are hundreds of times larger than its own, the guardian turret cannot prevent these deformed monsters from approaching very well.

And as long as the imitator can climb onto the turret, the sharp tentacles it transforms can penetrate through the weak point of the turret armor, and then it only takes ten to 15 seconds for a turret to be paralyzed and destroyed by the imitator.

However, in addition to the imitators, the human coalition forces themselves are also the driving force behind the destruction of these forward positions. When the imitators destroyed most of the ground facilities and basically occupied these positions, they realized that the participating facilities in the positions could no longer cause too much damage to the imitators. After the killing, the human coalition's retaliatory bombardment completely turned the already fallen own position into rubble.

In order to break through these positions, the imitators paid a very heavy price. In addition to the units that were wiped out by various turrets during the attack on the base, the subsequent attacks of the human coalition forces also caused tens of thousands of deaths and injuries to the imitators.

A metal monster twisted into a ball by the high temperature is piled up in every corner of the forward position. At least half a meter of scrap metal is stacked in front of each defensive turret, even if the imitator's body is broken down, it will only produce very little metal. Bodily fluids, a puddle of foul-smelling liquid that exudes the waste of an old-fashioned battery that has been exhausted has also gathered in the large crater blasted by the 155mm howitzer.

But the bad news is yet to come.

The imitators also occupied only the above-ground portion of these positions.

Just as the imitators can avoid human shelling by burying the ground, the human coalition can also deploy part of the defense facilities underground. Although some underground defense facilities have been damaged to varying degrees in human artillery fire, they can still fight normally. Parts of it can also cause imitators huge trouble.

This kind of defensive facilities are mainly fire-breathing turrets and continuous-firing laser turrets that can attack four sides at the same time. When the imitator troops approach, they will suddenly appear, and they can instantly destroy a large area of ​​hostile units around them. When the troops passed through the forward positions that had been completely reduced to ruins under the double attack of the imitators and the human allied forces, these defense facilities buried underground quickly built a sniper line that made the imitators feel like they were stuck in their throats.

Due to the tricky location of the human underground turrets, and the total length of the frontier positions of the Xia Kingdom reached more than 450 kilometers, it is impossible for the imitators to capture all the underground defense facilities of the human coalition forces on such a long offensive line.

Even if the imitators can find the location of some underground defense facilities through repeated file reading, there will always be human underground defense facilities that slip through the net and cause a lot of damage to the imitators.

If the imitators wanted to search for the location of these forts, they would spend more time in this ruined forward position and eat more shelling from humans, which would inevitably affect their progress in attacking Xia Guo's position.

And if the imitators do not intend to destroy these underground forts, then the imitators need to worry about whether they will encounter attacks from behind when they assemble their troops.

Although for the human coalition forces, no matter how the imitators choose, there is no difference. After all, most of the orders received by the human coalition forces are to defend their positions. Before the command of the campaign headquarters is updated, no matter how the imitators attack, the human defenders will not Maybe half a step back.

But for the imitators who can only get some incomplete information, of course they are very eager to pull out the nails in the front positions of the Xia Kingdom and completely open the way to the Xia defense line. However, under the control of AI, the number of imitators The carpet search failed to achieve the expected results. Whenever the imitators think that these positions have been cleared, there will always be new forts popping up from the angles that the imitators did not expect, leaving the imitators in this small position. Dead bodies fell one after another.

Of course, in any case, in a forward position with a width of no more than 200 meters, the number of defensive facilities that can be deployed is limited after all, and there is no friendly force to provide sufficient fire support, and there is no MCV to perform emergency repairs on damaged parts , when an underground turret is exposed, if it persists for at most 5 minutes, it will be overwhelmed by swarms of imitators. At around 2:7 p.m. There was an exchange of fire between the defenders.

Perhaps in the eyes of imitators, the weakening of various long-range firepower and the complete destruction of the outermost positions of mankind are signs that the human defense line is about to collapse. Even if the human coalition forces have wiped out hundreds of thousands of enemy units on the morning of February 2, Since the formal contact between the imitators and the human defenders, the number of troops assembled by the imitators outside Xia Guo's position has increased rapidly, and the number and density of troops attacking the human defense line have doubled.

Although the increase in the density of imitators makes the soldiers in the human positions gradually need to bear the pressure from these alien aliens, it also means that the superior firepower of the human coalition forces can finally be put to greater use and can be used with less Ammunition is consumed in exchange for greater battle results.

At 120 o'clock in the evening, even though the overall bombing frequency of the human coalition forces had been reduced to one-half of that in the morning, the number of enemy units killed and wounded throughout the afternoon had actually increased, and the estimated number given by the staff had reached From 2 to 7 million, the number of enemies killed during the daytime on February [-] alone was almost as large as the total number of enemies killed by the British and American coalition forces during the Brittany landing.

It stands to reason that the imitators should have been very clear in countless attempts in the "future" that before the human ammunition is exhausted (in fact, the human coalition forces voluntarily withdraw from the position), no matter where they attack from, they will not be able to attack. It is possible to break through Xia Guo's defense line.

In this case, maintaining an attack intensity that is neither strong nor weak can reduce the meaningless casualties of one's own side while consuming human ammunition.

But it seems that the imitator commander has gained more growth in the half month since the human coalition forces arrived in this world than it has in the past few years-after all, when the imitator was using "future" to test the position of the human coalition forces, it was forced to carry out The number of time backtracking must be much higher than when the United Nations army was fighting.

Although the imitators still do not have the ability to formulate strategic-level operations, the imitator commanders seem to have gradually realized that simply defeating the human army cannot weaken the war potential of the human coalition forces, even though the metal corpses of the imitators have piled up outside the human positions Man was flattened several times, and the attack intensity of the imitators on the Xia Guo Front did not weaken at all.

It seems that as time progresses, the imitators already know that after breaking through the line of defense in front of them, human forces will immediately pull up another steel wall in eastern and northern Ukraine, which makes the imitator commander have to adjust the plan urgently .

Even if a higher price is paid, even if in the "future", the imitator's active attack fails to penetrate Xia's defense line before the "collapse" of the human position, the imitator commander must concentrate his forces to try the less than [-]% One of the possibilities is to try to annihilate the human troops before retreating or during the retreat, instead of allowing the human troops to retreat to new positions.

Therefore, different from dispersing troops across the battlefield at the beginning and attacking all human positions at the same time, in the attack on the afternoon of February 2, the imitators began to concentrate their troops on a few targets, constantly trying to attack human positions , trying to forcibly break through the interception of the human defenders, and penetrate the human rear positions.

Under the endless input of troops by the imitator commander, the closest distance between the imitator troops and the human position was less than five meters. The imitators may have already broken into the human positions. At first glance, it seems that as long as a little more troops are invested, the imitators will be able to penetrate the human positions.

However, the human army that has been strengthened at the epic level is not as vulnerable as in the past. Even if the long-range firepower of the human coalition forces is still weakening a little bit, the human position is like a claw machine placed at the entrance of a movie theater. No matter how many resources are invested in it, no matter whether the imitator's attack is thwarted by humans or a small amount of results are achieved, it will never be possible to win the victory that is close at hand before reaching the time set by the human coalition forces.

Even in order to "play" a bit more like it, the human coalition forces also took the initiative to give up some prominent positions, allowing the imitators to occupy and destroy the defense facilities in the positions. According to the plan, the position that was almost broken by the imitators was originally It was to be handed over to them, and the Tauren machine gunners stationed here, because of their "poor acting skills", only held on in the position until the battle entered the evacuation stage.

When the Human Coalition Army communicator conveyed the order to them to abandon the position, and had actively lowered the firepower of the position, and was ready to withdraw from the position at any time, the dozen or so simple-minded tauren machine gunners seemed unable to understand the meaning of "active retreat". Instead, after the human coalition infantry withdrew, the tauren machine gunners of the team regarded it as an honor to stay alone in the position and fight, as if they had been injected with blood.

In the subsequent attacks organized by the imitators, as the imitator units approached the position, these fantasy world mercenaries even rushed out of the position, and even pulled out the two-handed battle ax they carried with them, relying on enough healing potions, Brutely killed more than 20 imitators.

Volume 1008 The Battle of Time: Chapter 0975 Chapter [-] Research Before the Battle Begins

0975

The moon in Eastern Europe rose very early in February. At about 2:[-] in the evening, a crescent moon had already risen from the horizon. The light emitted by the moon was completely obscured by the smoke and clouds on the battlefield. The entire battlefield was plunged into darkness.

However, closer to Xiaguo's position, the visibility range of the soldiers has not been weakened due to the change of the environment. The high-power searchlight on the turret illuminates the two kilometers around the Xiaguo's position as if it were daytime. The drone The illumination bombs fired by the artillery and artillery units have never stopped. The slowly descending illumination bombs are like blossoming fires, completely driving away the darkness within ten kilometers of the human position.

At a target location marked as H14 by the human coalition forces, after a round of shelling that lasted 15 seconds, the imitator troops that originally relied on the bomb craters and the corpses of friendly soldiers to hide from human fire quickly jumped out of each bunker, in the light of the flares Leaving behind a large shadow moving forward rapidly.

In the perception of the imitators, until now, the firepower of the human position has been seriously insufficient. Not only has the long-range support firepower become sparse, but even the defenders on the position can no longer pour ammunition unscrupulously. Your own troops start to attack after they are placed in close range.

Just like now, even if the imitator unit with a size of about [-] has clearly revealed its figure under the flare, and the imitator units on the front line can still see the shadowy figure in the human position, operating multiple machine guns Human infantry with guns without recoils have even aimed their guns at their own troops, but the human position has remained silent at this time, only the "chuck" sound when the flares are launched into the air, and various laser and electromagnetic artillery turrets The pre-charged "whoosh" sound.

500 meters...no movement...

300 meters...no movement...

100 meters... still nothing...

The deadly silence of human beings makes even the sub-units of the imitators who only have basic thinking ability feel a little uneasy, but even if all the imitators have predicted the violent blow they will face next, they show no sign of slowing down , continued to maintain a skirmish line, and continued to attack the oncoming human positions.

Just when the first imitator crossed the marking line 50 meters away from the human camp, suddenly, the human camp roared furiously like a beast suddenly awakened, and dozens of crimson lasers tore apart the imitator first. Even if the outside of the human position is already brighter than the noon sun, the laser beams are extremely dazzling.

Each firing time of the laser turret can last for [-] seconds, and this [-] seconds is enough to draw a seven or eight meter long attack trajectory in their queue while maintaining enough damage to the imitators.

Even though the imitators have consciously separated the attacking subordinate units as much as possible in order to avoid human attacks, every time a round of laser sweeps past, at least two to three imitator units can be eliminated.

In addition to these energy turrets that use heavy-duty laser cannons, the Xia Guo defenders who have been replaced with continuous-firing laser guns have also created a light curtain in front of the human positions, which is denser and more than ten times brighter than the neon lights of concerts. When firing laser guns in a row, from the perspective of the imitator, it looks like a forest of guns suddenly shot out from the human position.

During the battle on the afternoon of February 2, the defenders of the Xia Kingdom adjusted the output power of individual laser guns based on the actual combat performance of the laser guns. Fastest destroys imitator units that get close.

When hundreds of laser guns form a barrage, it is very easy to tear apart the metal body of the imitator. The imitator unit that charged ahead was melted by the laser rain in less than one-tenth of a second, and the body was riddled with holes. Under the action of inertia, he continued to charge forward for a few meters before falling to the ground, and finally piled up with a large pile of dead imitators around him.

While the laser weapons were firing, the multi-barreled electromagnetic machine guns in the formation were also spewing flames, and bullets denser than raindrops whizzed out from the various firepower points of the human formation, easily tearing apart the air and imitators. A barrier made of metal on the body surface.

The cavity effect produced by the rapid rotation of the bullet took away a large amount of mass in the imitator. Broken metal, splashed waste liquid, and unknown structures of suspected organs all spewed out from behind the imitator following the trajectory of the bullet. Terrible penetrating cavities were left on the surface of the imitator's body. Even if a bullet just passed by, a large piece of metal debris would be torn off from the imitator's body.

What makes the imitators feel even more aggrieved is the laser weapons and electromagnetic weapons of the human coalition forces. Within a hundred meters, they can basically be described as hitting with their fingers. When the human defenders pull the trigger or press the launch button, The interval between the bullet hitting the body of the imitator troops was less than [-] second, which was not enough time for the imitators to avoid human shooting by changing their body structure.

Those imitator units that managed to escape the first round of laser attacks had little chance of surviving in the stormy barrage. The imitator units that had just charged at full speed fell in pieces amidst the sound of cracking gold and ridges. Only a very small number of imitators survived because they were in a bomb crater or other friendly corpses.

But their luck is limited after all. In addition to this kind of direct firepower, the human coalition forces also deployed a lot of tearer turrets in the position. These defensive turrets that can fire shrapnel can cause huge damage to the enemies behind the bunker. .

At the same time, although the drone troops of the human coalition basically did not initiate attacks after nightfall, this does not mean that the human coalition will reduce the number of sorties dispatched by drones, except for close monitoring of the movements of the imitators. In addition, the ammunition attached to these drones can also mark and support ground targets when necessary, and guide the defenders to attack.

However, due to the gradual improvement of the performance of environmental analysis AI and the development of some AI based on environmental analysis, auxiliary AI without independent learning and thinking capabilities continues to spread to the battalion level. Respond to the changes and accurately convey the targets that have been discovered and have not been eliminated to the hands of the frontline troops.

As soon as the barrage pulled up by the rotary electromagnetic machine gun weakened, the frontline troops already knew exactly how many imitators were still on the battlefield and where they were hiding. Roaring, accompanied by the dull sound of shrapnel exploding, the surviving imitator units on the battlefield had no time to emerge from behind the bunker, and were sieved by the steel balls and single pieces that exploded above their heads.

Less than 5 minutes have passed since the imitator army entered the human warning line and the human defenders wiped out all these alien aliens, and such scenes are staged everywhere in the Xia Kingdom position every moment .

Less than half an hour has passed since the moon rose, and the number of enemies reported by various positions has reached more than 2. The killing efficiency here basically rises straight like a 7-degree cliff. Even if it can't reach the point where a single bullet can kill an imitator, the average cost of each imitator unit can be counted from several A hundred tons has been reduced to about ten kilograms.

Of course, in addition to the important reason that the human coalition forces can directly attack the exposed imitator units without having to "guess" which piece of land hides the imitator units, the increase in the proportion of laser weapons has also played a big role. Function - After all, the high-energy battery used in the laser gun uses another statistical system, no matter how much battery is consumed, it will not increase the consumption of "ammunition".

But even though the casualty rate of his own side is soaring rapidly, the commander of the imitator has no intention of stopping the attack. Perhaps the human coalition forces put the imitator at a distance of 50 meters in front of the position before firing, making the commander of the imitator think that it is a human. The defender's ammunition was about to be exhausted, and he saw that he was only "billion" away from success. At this time, the imitator commander was also like a red-eyed gambler, desperate The ground crushed more troops.

As the number of troops invested by the imitators on the battlefield gradually increased, the human coalition forces also began to try electromagnetic bombs on these subordinate units, which were originally "gifts" prepared for Alpha units.

This task should have started a few days ago, but at that time, the future avoidant commander of the human coalition forces guessed in advance that the human coalition forces were trying to capture their alpha units based on the experiments of the human coalition forces. Bombs are stacked in ammunition depots.

Now that the imitators already know the plan of the human coalition, in order to formulate a new capture plan, the human coalition must more accurately judge the actual effect of these weapons on the imitators.

From [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., the human coalition tested all the weapons and the magic of the fantasy world in turn. According to the information currently known, electromagnetic weapons and sonic weapons can interfere with the actions of the imitators, but they cannot eliminate the imitators' actions. Transformation ability, imitators may kill themselves in uncontrolled transformation; while gravitational traction, microwave interference, and freezing bombs take longer to take effect (compared to the imitator's deformation speed), it is difficult to prevent imitators from going back in time.

As for the ability interference bombs, psychic assault vehicles, and various magics in the fantasy world that Shepard assisted in making, they have achieved pretty good results. It seems that although the behavior patterns of imitators are somewhat similar to gestalt consciousness, every imitator Individual units still have a little bit of independent consciousness.

The human coalition still doesn't know whether the independent consciousness of the imitators' subordinate units is the thought fragment instilled by their mother body (or Omega), or the consciousness produced by themselves, but when the human coalition uses supernatural powers, psychic impact, mind or When the soul magic - the posture of thunder violently destroys the consciousness of the sub-units of the imitator, the sub-units of the imitator will experience an interruption of their actions for about five seconds.

It's just that the five-second action interruption cannot be extended. Any psychic attack on the unit during this period will not prolong this time. The human coalition must destroy the imitator again after five seconds and after the imitator resumes its activities. Only the mind of the victim can let it continue to fall into the interruption of action.

To be honest, this feature of the imitators reminds many people in the human coalition of their own Immortal Legion. The consciousness of these subordinate units seems to be "downloaded" from somewhere. Before the "download" is completed, , it is naturally impossible for the human coalition forces to destroy something that is still in transmission.

Of course, it is impossible for the imitators to allow the human coalition forces to conduct research on themselves. Since humans no longer have large-scale fire coverage on the battlefield, there have been long-range units of imitators launching attacks on human positions in an attempt to reduce or interfere with the human defenders. The density of firepower penetrates the defenses of the human defenders as soon as possible.

But no matter whether these energy beams are projected or flat-fired, since the flight speed of the long-range attacks of the imitators has slowed down to the extent that humans can recognize them with the naked eye, even if the imitators push their long-range attack units to a position two or 300 meters away from the human position, The human defenders also had enough time to raise their shields.

Before the orange energy beams reached the human positions, the cyan shields were fully deployed at their attacking positions. If the imitator's firepower delivery ability was increased by five times, it might still pose a certain threat to the human shields. Attacking the same location might really be able to partially penetrate the defense of the shield, but right now, the imitator's long-range attack ability is not enough.

The orange high-temperature energy beam composed of waste liquid and plasma-like molten matter collided with the shield fiercely, but the imitator's long-range attack did not have any effect except for consuming a little bit of negligible energy.

It is true that the human coalition forces are currently unable to completely fill the 450-kilometer front with shields, but it is not difficult to deploy fixed shield systems in key locations such as areas where personnel and facilities are concentrated. As for those areas that are not covered by shields , or it is in the coverage of crossfire points in multiple positions, or MCVs are deployed around, which can quickly complete the reconstruction task of these forts destroyed by the imitators' long-range attack, and will not leave any opportunities for the imitators to exploit loopholes.

On the other hand, after seeing the impotence of the imitators in front of human shields, the human coalition forces also had some concerns about their future. After all, according to the information brought back from the future by the Babylonian Federation, the current attacks of the human coalition forces are also It is also helpless to the shield system of the aliens above the head of the Human Revolutionary League. Now how the long-range attacks of the imitators fail in front of the human coalition forces. bad situation.

So when the human coalition forces began to issue orders to the various troops that the campaign was about to enter the retreat phase, the fear of insufficient firepower that the commander of the human coalition forces had just cured seemed to intensify again.

Volume 1009 The Battle of Time: Chapter 0976 Chapter [-] The Beginning of the Battle

0976

July 2st, two in the morning.

After a day of fighting on February 2, the human troops began to withdraw from the positions in an orderly manner, and gradually handed over the defensive forces of each position to various unmanned turrets in the defense line. The gate is the first to reach the preset blocking point, and the remaining fighters need to lure the imitator into the trap a little bit.

Under the AI ​​control of the battlefield environment, these unmanned turrets can basically exert a lethality not weaker than that of human soldiers. However, when the human infantry on each front is completely withdrawn from the position, the imitator commander can easily Find holes in these defensive positions by looking at the "future".

These defense towers alone cannot completely stop the imitator army that has become larger in scale. When the brilliance of the first laser tower goes out, it is like a chain reaction. Xia Guo's original defense line was quickly carved out by the imitators. Dozens of gaps in small and large sizes.

In front of a huge ruin that was originally marked as position 103, and now there is only a huge ruin ravaged by imitators, the last laser tower collapsed in the continuous attack of more than a dozen imitators, and then tens of millions of imitators The army of hunters stepped across the human position, chasing after the retreating human troops.

It's just that on the two sides of position 103, the counterattack flames on positions 102 and 105 have not been completely extinguished, and some laser towers arranged on the edge of the positions can even attack the imitators occupying position 103.

Position 103 occupied by the imitators was just a small position with a length and width of no more than 400 meters. When the imitators wanted to quickly pass through this "small" position, they inevitably crowded together, even if 102 and 105 Defensive firepower at Position #[-] had to prioritize their own troubles, but an occasional red laser beam was enough to wipe out dozens of huddled Mimic units.

In fact, as the imitators pursued the human forces, the discipline displayed by the imitators during the offensive phase also rapidly decayed, and the human coalition forces did not know that this was because the imitators' subordinate units were far away from their command nodes. In order to chase the human troops, the imitators no longer cared about maintaining their formation.
