Chapter 15 An unexpected group of prisoners of war(1/2)
Just when the entire 166P base was caught in mutual artillery fire and wildly flying aircraft, as if it was about to be completely swallowed up by the explosion, the commanders of the base had decided to give up resistance and began to evacuate quietly.
"The defenses of area D4 have been cleared." Deacon Eden, who directed the first wave of attacks, reported in the internal communication.
"Prepare the landing procedures." Shankara, the chief of general staff of the fleet, said in a very young voice.
The White Tiger Knights almost easily gained air supremacy and began landing, which was smoother than planned.
Plato's fleet is still 500 million kilometers away, and it will take at least an hour to arrive at full speed, but the Knights have already made preparations.
The size of the White Tiger Transforming Fighter is much larger than that of an ordinary fighter. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a small warship, because when fighting in space, the larger the size and mass of the aircraft, the greater its power.
The Marines of the Knights were already in place in the cabin. They were wrapped in layers of protective devices in groups of three, and then pushed into the lander.
The lander looks like an inverted bamboo shoot, with an ion thruster at its tail. After solving the fleet at the 166P base, the White Tiger fighter jets faced sporadic resistance from the Gaia space drones, as if they were in an uninhabited land.
Launch a lander into the low-Earth orbit of an asteroid.
"Boys! I wish you good luck!" Commander Deacon Eden's voice sounded again.
The tails of hundreds of landers ejected light blue ion flames, rushing into the asteroid's atmosphere, like countless meteors falling in the dark night sky, drawing radiating lines.
"What is this?" Gaia soldiers who were nervously preparing for a ground battle looked at the strange phenomenon in the dark night sky.
"Enemy's ground attack!"
"Fight back quickly!"
The Plato lander is equipped with an anti-radar device, which makes it difficult to be identified by radar systems that automatically aim various types of artillery. Once the enemy detects it with the naked eye, it is often too late.
A Gaia soldier with quick eyesight and quick hands immediately picked up the laser cannon held in both hands and quickly fired a miniature laser missile at the intruder.
But it was only knocked out of its falling trajectory, and no explosion occurred.
"What?!"
"What kind of monster weapon is this?"
Everyone on the Gaia defense line exclaimed. The shells of these landers are extremely strong, and it is difficult for ordinary artillery to destroy them with one hit.
With the sound of metal whistling and the sound of landslides and earth cracking hitting the ground, the Knights' lander was inserted directly and accurately into the planned landing site.
In an instant, these landers inserted on the ground or buildings were all opened at the same time, and 600 Knights' special marines were armed with various laser weapons, as ferocious as hungry tigers pouncing on food. At the same time, many combat robots, crawler shooters and
Small drones were also activated one after another to provide ground troops with powerful fire support and began to launch a fierce attack on the ground targets in the base.
"We need support!" Commander Gaia shouted in a hoarse voice.
The exchange of fire had only lasted less than ten minutes, and he felt pain all over his body from being hit by his combat protective armor, and the display in front of him flashed a red warning indicating that the protection had failed.
"Support..." He saw that all the prompts in front of him disappeared, and the transparent eyepieces were splattered with bright red blood.
A high-power laser beam broke through the already broken chest armor, directly penetrated his lungs, and he fell.
When Plato's special forces broke through the first line of ground defense, the ground was littered with the corpses of Gaia soldiers wearing white battle armor, reflecting the red blood. The scene was very tragic and terrifying.
"Kill all the Gaians who resist!" the young Plato frontline commander ordered resolutely, and his voice sounded like that of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy.
The special forces responsible for the ground attack are often young followers who have just entered the Knights. Like young male tigers full of energy, they continue to attack the enemy's fragile defense line.
Kill them all, kill them all, kill them all... These young people who have never had a normal family life and grew up in a purely male environment have heard the word "kill" the most since childhood.
"You must maintain your cruelty and wildness like bloodthirsty beasts." Those tall and cold instructors often reprimanded and educated them in blunt German. "This world is cruel, and you have the right to be cruel."
p>
So, they really turned into wild beasts on the battlefield and bloodyly devoured the Gaians.
"No support, no command!" a Gaia battalion commander shouted desperately.
"Commander Sanchez ran away, and everyone in the headquarters ran away!"
"We were abandoned!"
The momentum here is like a rainbow, and the other side is wailing. Here is a smooth offensive operation and coordination, but there is only a passive defense of cover and retreat.
The command headquarters fled, and the defenders' psychological defense line collapsed. The 80,000-strong base ground troops were beaten by a small landing force and suffered heavy casualties.
"Help me! Help..."
A Gaia lay injured and helpless on the ground. Because the firepower of the Platos was too strong, the companions and medical soldiers who rescued him all ran away.
The Gaians also left behind several injured soldiers who were incapacitated and allowed them to be "bombed" into pieces by the flying saucer-shaped bombs launched by the Platons.
Red blood flowed everywhere, staining the ground of the entire base.
The battle situation has been decided——
Under the protection of a group of fighter planes, Grand Commander Kalki and his followers flew down in a deformed fighter plane in a straddling posture.
Wearing space armor, they can directly enter the atmosphere of an asteroid. The fiery red ion flames burn outside the white space armor. Each knight seems to be coming from hell, with a daunting sense of terror.
The anti-aircraft laser cannons on the ground draw straight lines, but the fighter planes have automatic avoidance systems, so the accuracy of laser fire is always unsatisfactory.
Kalki's landline "Little Wolf" is pure white, shining with the color of diamonds, and looks like the most dazzling morning star landing in the dark deep space with gun lines in the background.
Not entering the battle in combat mode, but simply descending at the speed of sound in the atmosphere, it already shows that the grand leader knows that victory is within his grasp.
There was still some unyielding sporadic resistance at the Gaia base, and the defenders tried to use large-caliber electromagnetic artillery fire to bombard the Knights' grand leader's aircraft fleet that was descending.
"Kill them all!" Officer Chang Luohou spoke.
The knights gave the resisting Gaia defenders an unimaginable and crazy counterattack, setting off a violent mushroom cloud and leveling the entire heavy artillery fortification area.
"Tolle Arbeit, Leute!" (Great job) The knights communicated with each other in German in the communication.
At this time, the Gaians were basically in retreat, with only sporadic resistance, and they were fighting and running. Even the intensive exchange of fire was just a cover for retreat.
When Kalki flew down from the floating disk and stood on the solid land of 166P, the Platos had almost completely occupied all the base fortification areas.
Since the base's top commanders had already evacuated on warships, Gaia's grassroots commanders could only lead the remaining troops to surrender.
"Don't kill them, let these slugs get away from us!"
The Grand Commander gave the order rudely.
Kalki stood on the ruined battlefield. Although his blood was boiling instinctively and the passion for fighting was surging throughout his body. But he didn't bother to kill these ants. The enemy he admired was about to be killed by him, but he still refused to give up the fight.
People——
Just like her.
Why did he suddenly think of that interesting battlefield rookie? The fierce fight scene with her came into his mind again, and the pleasure of the surge of adrenaline and dopamine suddenly reminded him of it.
In recent times, he has been almost invincible on the battlefield, and has gradually become numb to scenes of victory, but she has become a bright color, full of surprises.
"If I live a hundred years, I will conquer the entire universe." Kalki said suddenly, unable to restrain the passion in his chest.
After hearing this, Luo Hu next to him replied:
"You are our unquestionable supreme commander, and all of us are willing to follow you."
Kalki looked back at Luo Hu, always thinking that Luo Hu always spoke in a direct and direct manner, but it turned out that he could also compliment people like this.
"I wish I would still be by your side then."
Luo Hu replied with a friend-like sincerity.
In this way, the 166P base that the Gaians had worked hard for many years was captured by Plato's army in just over an hour.
Nearly 50,000 Gaia soldiers were captured. Later, the Platos found an unimaginable amount of water concentrate in the warehouse of 166P. This was a glorious disaster, and the White Tiger Knights suffered almost no losses, and the number of people killed in battle was
In the single digits, it was easy to grab Gaia Mining Company’s “goose that lays the best golden eggs”.
Another super "surprise" occupying 166P was soon revealed——
When Plato's soldiers accepted the surrender of the mining foremen, they rushed into the non-combatant area.
In fact, the base is a huge mining base, and so many defenders and fleets are just to protect the interests of the Gaia Mining Group. The mining area and living area of 166P are also extremely large buildings, and of course they are now bombed into ruins.
"Don't kill us, we have no weapons, and there are many miners' families..." Mr. Mueller, the fat and stocky production supervisor, held up a white flag, his face turned pale with nervousness. Although he encouraged himself to be brave in his heart, his body was still shaking wildly.
Several of his immediate superiors had fled with Gaia's senior officers. Major General Sanchez was still very loyal and took away Mr. White, the company's general representative, and left the mess to these supervisors. They were even panicking about the white flag.
I hurriedly found a white shirt and hung it on the pole.
When the special forces responsible for cleaning up the ground battlefield entered the underground bunker in the residential area, they heard countless frightened screams inside, as if they had gone deep into the depths of hell.
"What's going on?" asked the young Plato officer. Plato and Gaia didn't understand each other's languages and relied on the armor's built-in voice translation system to communicate.
"They are all miners' families who came to celebrate the Spring Festival reunion."
"Spring Festival?" This young officer heard this interesting term for the first time.
"Don't shoot, don't kill us!"
"Mom, I'm so scared!"
"The Platos are coming...woohoo"
The families of the Gaia miners either raised their hands or huddled in a ball in the corner, with their whimpering and screaming mixed with screams, making them pitiful than the weakest animals in the world.
This is the biggest "surprise" discovered by the White Tiger Knights - there are 20,000 Gaia civilians in this mining base.
Under normal circumstances, there are not many managers and staff in the Gaia Mining Base, and they mainly rely on a large number of artificial intelligence robots and heavy machinery to complete operations; and Plato's army allows non-combatants to take unarmed transportation when being besieged.
To be continued...
