Chapter 1573: Old Higgs

At this moment, if you stand on the Higgs 4 planet and look up at the starry sky, you can see the trajectory of light that fills the sky, as well as the long comet tail drawn out of the atmosphere by the crashed aircraft from time to time.

Farther away, you can even see the dazzling fire from the huge battleship being hit and detonated.

Behind the defensive positions of the ground defenders of the Ailan Hill Empire, near the core defensive headquarters, the spacecraft that fell into the atmosphere from the universe adjusted the spouts on both sides and landed lightly on the prepared tarmac.

The hatch opened quickly after the pressure was released, and a commander in the uniform of the Empire Army of Ailan Hill jumped out of the plane as soon as the hatch opened.

"Stand at attention!" The officers waiting on the tarmac raised their chins, stood at attention and saluted and shouted: "Long live the Ailan Hill Empire!"

"Long live Ailan Hill!" The slightly exhausted Alan Hill Empire General Alfred responded with a military salute, and then, accompanied by the generals who had been waiting for a long time, walked into the bunker gate on the side.

"How is the situation?" General Alfred, who was ordered to the front line in danger, asked while walking along the brightly lit corridor.

"Report to the general! We are blocking the enemy at all levels, but the guards' troops are attacking very quickly, and the frontline troops are forced to shrink their forces." The commander behind General Alfred briefly introduced the situation.

In fact, the situation is still quite optimistic, because the reaction speed of the Ailan Hill Empire has exceeded the expectations of the Guardian troops.

The other party’s sneak attack is actually hoping to take the Higgs 4 before the Aranhill Empire can react, and then threaten all the surrounding Alanhill Empire fleet on this basis.

Now, although the opponent has initially completed its plan, it has not fully completed the campaign goal.

Although Sorens successfully sent the landing forces to the surface of Higgs 4, because of the resolute counterattack of the Alan Hill Empire, he did not grasp the cosmic air superiority near Higgs 4.

The fleets of both sides are still fighting nearby, and the losses are huge, but no one is willing to take a step back.

As the reinforcement fleet of the Ailan Hill Empire arrived one by one, the Warden’s fleet gradually lost its advantage.

The caretaker troops on the ground did not progress quickly without continuous and effective reinforcements.

The troops of the Ailan Hill Empire are actually blocking the opponent’s offensive troops in an orderly manner. The Guardian troops, which are not superior in strength, can only attack intermittently and barely maintain.

General Alfred glanced at the opponent, and emphasized: "Your Majesty transferred me here to serve as the front-line commander. The purpose is to let me clear the Guardian troops here... We have no choice, do you understand?"

"Yes! General!" Following Alfred, the original commander on Higgs 4 immediately replied.

"Immediately launch a nuclear bomb to the enemy landing site! Weaken the enemy's landing force! Follow-up troops are deployed at the same time. After the nuclear bomb attack, they enter the radiation area according to the first-level radiation protection standard and launch a counterattack!" Alfred began to command.

"Yes! General!" The general did not explain that he had just ordered the launch of a nuclear bomb 7 hours ago. All he had to do was to obey the order and drive the enemy out of Higgs 4.

...

put down the binoculars in his hand, and a frontline commander told the officer next to him: "Approach the sweepers from the flanks! When the frontal tanks attacked, you suddenly opened fire from the flanks, weakening the enemy's counterattack ability!"

"Understood!" The officer nodded slightly and waved his hand. The soldier behind him immediately bowed his waist with a weapon, and walked along the reverse **** toward the guardian troops who were recuperating in the distance.

Directly ahead, in the Ailan Hill Empire armored reconnaissance vehicle parked behind the grass, the commander of the reconnaissance force grabbed the intercom and asked for support from the main force not far away: "Yes! I have sent the azimuth coordinates. Three short salvos to suppress the enemy’s firepower... Our company’s tanks have already moved up."

At almost the same moment, an electromagnetic tank with a hollow Elanhill Empire eagle emblem painted on the side, its tracks rolled, and rushed to the high ground against the slope.

There, the turret of this tank just exposed the horizon, when the alert sweeper spotted the enemy.

"Enemy attack!" The two energy cannons on the shoulders of the sweeper aimed at the Alanhill Imperial Tank in the distance, firing two black energy bombs.

These two groups of energy fell on the hillside, splashing a plume of smoke into the sky. At the same time, the electromagnetic machine gun on the turret of the Ailan Hill Empire electromagnetic tank also began to fire.

"Suddenly!" A straight line of tracer bullets traversed the battlefield. The sweeper who had just opened fire was pierced by a beam of light and fell on his back to the ground.

Behind him, hundreds of Sweeper soldiers are ready to counterattack. They are pouring their ammunition frantically in the direction where the Ailan Hill Empire tank fired.

Groups of black energy bombs hit the hillside, flying off the soil on the hillside, and rolling up all the vegetation into the sky.

The second electromagnetic tank of the Ailan Hill Empire drove up the hillside, and also shot rows of bullets at the sweepers who opened fire.

In an instant, the Sweeper troops who rushed to meet each other turned their backs on their backs, and there were unpleasant screams from the Sweeper troops and the howls of shells and bullets everywhere.

"Counterattack! Counterattack! They don't have many tanks!" A Sweeper commander pointed to the electromagnetic tank that kept firing in the distance, and loudly ordered his men.

The sweeper next to him did not flinch, and gritted his teeth while firing, fiercely brave and undaunted.

At the same time, behind these sweepers, a Destroyer tank also started, the legs on both sides began to move forward, and the energy cannon behind them was also adjusting the direction of the muzzle.

"Boom...Boom!" The electromagnetic cannon on the turret of the Ailan Hill Empire electromagnetic tank that had found the target fired a heavy shot, and the shell pierced the air and screamed directly through the destruction that was adjusting its posture. By.

The    cannonball detonated the energy inside the two Destroyer tanks, causing the Destroyer to be paralyzed in place with heavy smoke.

In the next second, a second Destroyer tank appeared on the battlefield. This Destroyer was located a little further back. It was just hidden behind a bush, and only then did it reveal its position.

The experienced Alanhill Empire tank crew members have long been wary of hiding the position of enemy tanks. As soon as the Destroyer tank showed its shape, it was targeted by them.

The powerful motor quickly helped the members of the Ailan Hill Empire Tank Crew to adjust their turrets. The powerful electromagnetic gun was just aimed at the target, it suddenly shrank back, and a gun flew out of the muzzle. Cannonballs.

Because the speed is so fast, no one can even see the trajectory of the shell flying in the air. In an instant, the Destroyer tank on the opposite side was penetrated.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a huge explosion, this Destroyer tank was directly exploded into two parts, the first half fell in place, and the second half was lifted into the sky.

As soon as the battle broke out, the Sweepers lost the two Destroyer tanks that supported them. The remaining sweepers were confused for a while, and could only be passively beaten, and were slaughtered by the two electromagnetic tanks in front of them that kept firing.

However, after a short period of sluggishness, these sweepers began to fight back again. They desperately tried to get close to the tanks of the Alanhir Empire, and countless black energy groups flew in the direction of the Empire's troops.

Unfortunately, their resistance was destined to be futile. Although they fired desperately to counterattack, the Armored Armed Forces of the Alanhir Empire, which was significantly more powerful, still had a clear advantage at this moment.

Until the third Destroyer tank entered the battlefield, the battle situation changed slightly.

Of course, the enemy cannot have only one Destroyer tank. Soon the second and third vehicles drove on the opposite side of the reverse slope.

The armored units of these huge Guardian troops are also very powerful, at least they have powerful firepower and heavy defensive shells, which are not easy to solve for infantry.

Obviously, these Destroyer tanks hidden behind the Sweeper Unit received the order and hurried to the rescue.

"Boom! Boom!" From a very far away, these Destroyer tanks began to fire artillery shells, announcing to the armored soldiers of the Ailan Hill Empire that they had arrived.

This is also a tactic that attracts the opponent's attention, in order to protect the sweeper forces that are being crushed, and allow the members of the Ailanhill Empire to move their main attack targets away from them.

Obviously, their goal was achieved. After a series of explosive smoke leaped around, several electromagnetic tanks belonging to the reconnaissance battalion of the Ailan Hill Empire began to aim at these distant targets.

Compared with the sighting system of the Watcher, the fire control system of the Ailan Hill Empire is much more sophisticated. The expensive and precise sighting system allows the electromagnetic tank of the Ailan Hill Empire to accurately hit a target the size of a gasoline tank at a distance of 2500 meters.

Such a powerful aiming system also supports the tank to fire while it is on the move. At the same time, the night vision device integrated in the aiming system is also sufficient to ensure that the tank can fight at night.

At this moment, after calculation by the computer, the shells fired by the electromagnetic gun accurately hit the Destroyer tank more than 1,300 meters away, and the turret on the opponent's back was lifted with one shot.

As the Destroyer tank exploded, the artillery support called by the reconnaissance battalion commander just landed on the land full of sweepers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The salvo of 155 self-propelled howitzers fell on the battlefield like raindrops.

The flying mud went straight into the sky, and the corpses torn apart by the explosion rolled in the air. There were explosions everywhere, smoke and dust everywhere, shrapnel flying everywhere, and sweeper soldiers fleeing embarrassed everywhere.

Just now relying on the number of Destroyer tanks that were ready to compete with the opposite Ailan Hill Empire tank, they retreated in embarrassment amidst the ubiquitous artillery fire, and it was too late to even fight back.

A Retreating Destroyer was hit by a 155mm howitzer shell unlucky.

The terrifying explosion shredded the body of this Destroyer tank, and even swallowed all the surrounding sweeper soldiers.

Because of the shell of the Destroyer split by the explosion, it was pushed by the explosive airflow onto the surrounding Sweeper soldiers, like a super huge hammer hitting the Sweeper’s chest.

The dense explosions are like plowing. Not far from the steaming crater, another brand-new explosion sounded, and another brand-new crater was born in the next moment!

"Suddenly!" Just when the Destroyer tanks were covered by artillery fire and retreated back, the flanks had just arrived, and the grenadiers of the machine gun positions were deployed, and they began to shoot at the battlefield from the edge of the woods. .

The bullets of the heavy machine gun poured down, cutting down the sweepers that were still trying to resist or had begun to retreat like wheat.

is like a lawn mower, wherever the bullet passed, the sweeper troops fell one after another, and even many sweepers died until they died, but they did not find where the bullets came from.

However, the sweepers soon discovered that the flanks were attacking their enemies. But at this moment, they no longer have the energy to manage the enemy troops on the flanks.

The positive pressure has made them exhausted, and the sky cannon fire has completely shattered their defense system.

Now, there is still a machine gun position on the flanks that is constantly shooting. This battlefield is a **** on earth for the sweepers.

"Fight back! Fight back!" The commander of the Sweeper headed by shouted loudly, ordering his soldiers to cheer up again.

Just when he was yelling desperately, he thought that stray bullets flew over and hit him in the head.

He collapsed, and some of the Sweeper soldiers who had finally gathered together fell into a state of a group of headless flies once again.

On the hillside in the distance, the electromagnetic tanks of the Ailan Hill Empire's frontal attack began to climb over the hillside. Following these tanks, there were armored reconnaissance vehicles and armored command vehicles.

The scouts who got out of the vehicle were holding their weapons, hiding behind the advancing heavy armored vehicles as much as possible, and cautiously approaching the battlefield.

The rolling crawler ran over the corpses of the sweepers on the ground. These corpses were dissipating, and even the wounds were blurred.

Passing by a wounded sweeper lying on the ground, his legs were crushed by the tracks of the tank. However, the Guardian soldier whose shoulder was hit by an electromagnetic machine gun still did not die immediately.

The Elanhill Empire scout following the tank saw the still twisting corpse. He took up the electromagnetic rifle in his hand, pointed it at the opponent's head, and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!" After the sound of the gun became thinner, the sound of the gun sounded a bit abruptly on the battlefield that had gradually become quiet.

"How the order changes, it has changed. More than an hour ago, we had to retreat. This suddenly changed to a forward attack..." Looking at the map in his hand, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion complained.

"I heard that General Alfred has been transferred over. He came with a mission. It seems that he wants to eliminate all these guards." Inside the bumpy armored reconnaissance vehicle, the adjutant explained.

"The order is very clear. The reinforcements will arrive within 20 hours... I hope General Alfred didn't lie to us." The battalion commander folded the map in his hand and stuffed it into the map bag.

Although electronic maps are much more detailed and accurate than traditional maps, paper maps are still very popular among grassroots officers and soldiers.

There are too many things to display on the screen in front of you. If you want to see the big map near the battlefield, it’s more convenient to just take out the drawings and see.

Of course, this also varies from person to person. Some people are accustomed to using paper maps, and some people are willing to use electronic maps.

"General Alfred is a veteran general who followed Princess Luna's battles, how could he be messed up..." The adjutant opened the hatch above his head: "The battlefield has been cleaned up, right?"

The armored vehicle they were in stopped by the side of the road, next to a steaming crater.

The corpses of the sweepers who didn’t need to clean up were all over the place, some were broken, and some were relatively intact.

Sweepers killed directly by machine guns will basically have relatively complete bodies, and only fragments are left when hit by shells.

But no matter how broken, these corpses will disappear, just like the ice and snow in spring, they will dissipate little by little.

"Further forward...the original defense zone where the 4194th Infantry Division was located...they retreated before, and now they are resting in the rear." Said the battalion commander.

The battalion commander raised the binoculars again and looked at the distant mountains through the binoculars. There should have been lines of defense and trees there, but now it is bare, looking like the surface of an asteroid.

As far as the eye can see, two A-10 attack aircrafts of the Ailan Hill Empire whizzed past. They were ordered to cover the attack of the ground forces, and the wings were covered with air-to-surface missiles.

Originally, the A-10 attack aircraft was not suitable for use in such a high-intensity battlefield, because the Alanhill Empire has not been able to master the air dominance until now. But this is war, not just using the right weapon at the right time.

When the battle breaks out, you need to use whatever you have in your hand. You can't complain why the enemy has an assault rifle but you only have a kitchen knife, even if you only have a kitchen knife, you must use this kitchen knife to fight the invaders!

Soon, in the battalion commander’s telescope, the two A-10 attack aircraft seemed to have found the target, and soon dropped the height and dropped the missile.

Four missiles dragged long white smoke to the invisible ground, and the two A-10 attack aircraft also climbed and pulled up almost at the same time, avoiding the black energy group flying towards them.

"Our air force has finally started to work..." The battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion put down his binoculars, looked at the soldiers who were resting from a distance, and chatted.

"Not bad, I heard that the air supremacy of the Higgs 5 has been lost. Our air force can still fight back and forth, which is enough to give our ground troops face." The adjutant is concerned about the current air combat situation. Satisfied.

"I hope that the reinforcements will have more air force. I am really not used to fighting without air cover." The battalion commander crushed a bag of compressed biscuits and poured the dregs into his mouth.

Feeling a bit dry, he removed a hanging water bottle from the inner wall of the armored vehicle, and peeked out again to look at the rest of the tank soldiers who were cooperating with his reconnaissance battalion.

After finishing speaking, he pressed the switch of the intercom: "Five minutes to rest! While we still have air support, we will move forward for another 20 kilometers!"

"Okay! Understand!" In the headset, some car commanders and company commanders and platoon commanders heard voices one after another.

Many people are using this precious time to cultivate their minds, a few people are eating, and some are rushing to replenish the ammunition they just consumed.

Next to an ammunition truck accompanying the troops, soldiers with ammunition chains on their bodies are helping to stuff the empty ammunition boxes back into the truck compartment.

At this time, the earth shook suddenly, and immediately after all the scouts and the tank soldiers resting on the roadside, they saw a huge mushroom cloud rising up on the horizon.

The tumbling mushroom cloud blown away the clouds in the distance, forming a spectacular ring in the sky.

Under the tossing mushroom cloud, there is a dazzling light, even if it is at least tens or even hundreds of kilometers away from there, human eyes still can’t look at the light directly.

Another nuclear bomb exploded in the direction where the guards’ troops landed, and another mushroom cloud rose from the enemy’s position.

Because of the violent explosion, the earth has been trembling all the time. It is a nuclear warhead of tens of millions of tons, and an explosion can destroy a city without any effort.

In the earphone, there is the current interference sound caused by the nuclear explosion, and the communication will be interrupted briefly when the nuclear explosion occurs. Zizi Lala's voice began to subside after a few seconds, and the interrupted communication was quickly restored.

Then, the battalion commander heard the familiar voice in the headset: "Pay attention to nuclear radiation protection! There was another nuclear strike just now..."

"The reconnaissance battalion understands! I will order all soldiers to be careful of nuclear radiation." The battalion commander pressed the switch of the intercom and promised his boss.

After    finished speaking, with the QR code on his forehead, he looked at the adjutant next to him: "This Higgs’ General Alfred... really ruthless!"

"Old Higgs knows it!" The adjutant smiled on his face, as if General Alfred was really his fellow.

After finishing speaking, the adjutant put on a big brimmed hat, covered the QR code on his forehead, and looked at the mushroom cloud that was still rising in the distance: "There...is our ultimate goal!"

"Yes! Kill all these **** enemies... we can rest." The battalion commander grinned, switched the communication channel, and shouted to his men, "The rest is over! Sir! Guys! Keep going!"
