Chapter 197: The Beginning of Chaos
Xuyue Star is the richest and most developed mineral star in the Blackstone Star Region, and because of its natural geographical advantage facing Canglan Star, it became a military logistics base for the advancing battlefield with the Empire. It was also the material for the stalemate between the Federation and the Empire in the later stages of the war.
Base.
After the war, Silver Cross Reading played a major role in the take-off of Blackstone's economic recovery, especially in heavy machinery manufacturing, nitrogen fertilizer industry, building materials industry, etc., concentrating 34 of Blackstone's steel production capacity, electricity, sulfuric acid, synthetic rubber, and oil refining.
Ability, military industry, etc. all occupy an important position in the Blackstone Star Region.
Ruther Heavy Industry is such a typical city based on mechanical heavy industry. It is located in the area between the lower reaches of the Moore River and the Pani River in the western continent of Xuyue Star. It covers an area of 9,632 square kilometers, accounting for 1.4% of the area of the West Road.
The population and cities in the area are dense, with a population of 11.3 million, accounting for 6% of the total population of Xuyue Star. The population density in the core area exceeds 2,300 people per square kilometer. Factories, residences and dense transportation are intertwined to form a contiguous urban belt.
.
Viewed from space, it looks like a black gem lying on a suet blanket.
After the Silver Cross War, although there was still constant friction with the Empire on the border of the sector, with the Canglan Defense Line guarding it, life on Suyue was relatively peaceful, and people with skills could live a prosperous life.
However, on February 13, 34th year of the Federal New Calendar, a meteor shower fell in the sky in Ruther District for no reason.
The Ruther Heavy Industry City also received a satellite image. A Federation warship and an Imperial warship were engaged in a quarrel in the outer space of Sudake. The wreckage of the battleship was falling towards the Ruther area.
The authorities immediately sounded the prevention and control alarm, reminding citizens to quickly take refuge in underground air-raid shelters.
The citizens were awakened by the sound of air-raid sirens, and they all thought it was an incoming imperial invasion force. Without hesitation, they immediately dragged their families and evacuated in an orderly manner under the political organization.
At the same time, the 30,000 standing self-defense troops in Ruther City began to garrison the urban defense system one after another. The original high-rise buildings were seen sinking into the ground amidst the roar. Multi-functional forts replaced the original building complex, and the black holes of the guns were aimed at them.
A clear sky.
But there were too many citizens from Ruther Heavy Industry. After more than half an hour, there were still a small number of citizens who had no time to evacuate, and they heard a thunderous roar in the sky.
They raised their heads in horror and saw thousands of red air flow lines falling on the clouds towards their city. It immediately caused panic among many citizens and caused many shouting and stampeding incidents on the spot.
As the firelight approached, everyone saw that it was not a meteor shower at all, but broken mechanical components and mechas flying down from space one after another.
Most of these mechas were equipped with gliders, but because they were traveling too fast, their bodies turned red when they fell into the atmosphere.
But even so, those mechas were still firing at each other, leaving behind a string of red projectiles and broken mecha wreckage in the sky.
The Ruther authorities identified the enemy and ourselves through signals, and the anti-aircraft batteries in the city opened fire one after another. Suddenly, the sky was like fireworks, and there were dense explosions everywhere.
Swish, swish, countless dense sounds of piercing the air, falling inside the city, creating countless craters of different sizes, causing a series of explosions, immediately damaging many forts and misfiring, and also causing a lot of casualties.
Many of the surviving Blackstone mechas fell into the urban cluster in embarrassment, and began to organize firepower spontaneously and orderly, joining the resistance against the air empire mechas.
Not long after, more ejection pods carrying federal signals fell into Ruther Heavy Industry one after another. With a popping sound, the ejection pods spewed steam-like white airflow, and then the Yuechi trainees drove the silver mechas out of the ejection pods in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Jumped out, and under the command of the Blackstone officers, also joined in the sniping sequence.
However, there were still orange imperial mechas that broke through the intensive firepower and landed, and for a while, small-scale street fighting began in Ruther City.
The Federation occupies the geographical advantage and has superior troops and firepower, and sniped and killed most of the Imperial mechas that landed in the Ruther area.
However, not long after, something sad and desperate happened.
The sky, which was originally clear and clear, suddenly darkened, and the Subrion, which could not help but emit flames, was seen falling towards the southern district of Rutheran with a large piece of disintegrated components.
Many people's throats were dry. They could not imagine what kind of horrific disaster and consequences would happen if such a big guy was allowed to crash into the city of Ruther.
But now no one can stop this ending.
The Superion battleship was able to withstand the artillery bombardment of three Imperial advance ships, but it only collapsed and fell from space.
At this moment, even if all the anti-aircraft artillery in the Ruther area were to concentrate their bombardment, I am afraid that it would be difficult to dismantle this big thing in a short time and reduce the terrifying impact of falling to the ground.
The three imperial vanguard ships seemed to have anticipated the fate of the Subrion, and the ferocious stingers that had penetrated the ship began to escape.
However, the engines of the three imperial warships were also severely damaged in the space encounter, and they could only make an emergency landing in the Nanling Forest to the south despite the smoke.
The imperial mechas gliding down from the sky also temporarily gave up on the difficult bone of Ruther District according to the order, and landed with their warships towards the South Ridge.
Just when everyone thought that the Ruther District was about to usher in the end of destruction, the USB flash drive on an optical computer in the Subrion No. 2 armament depot emitted a little green light.
Then a miracle happened. The central system, which had completely collapsed, came back to life and regained some of its functions.
In the deserted command hall, the instruments began to operate on their own as if there were ghosts operating.
Just six kilometers away from the ground, the engine that had mostly collapsed began to adjust its angle and spray out dazzling flames.
Just like the Kunpeng that fell from the myth, it uses the last remaining strength in its life to flap its wings, just to avoid causing too much harm to the common people in the world.
All the federal people who saw this scene had their eyes wet, and an ecstatic thought came to their mind.
"Are Adjutant Xue Zizhong still alive? Are they driving this fallen battleship to save itself at the cost of their lives?"
Although Suborion had decelerated by more than half under the counter-braking of the engine, it adjusted its hull to ensure that it landed parallel to the ground.
But the Ruther District still seemed to have experienced a terrible earthquake. Countless anti-aircraft forts fell apart under the pressure of the battleships. The street ground shook violently. People could not stand firm at all and fell heavily to the ground.
As for those people who were close to the fall zone in the southern district, many of them didn't even have time to make a sound before they were swept away by the terrifying and scorching shock wave and turned into fly ash in mid-air. Those who were further away hit the opposite wall.
, died of violence, the lighter ones also let out shrill screams, then twitched to the ground and could no longer get up.
In the end, the Suborion 'crash-landed' in the city of Rutheran District, sinking more than 30 meters as a whole. The Subrion was like a model stuck in the steel floor, and explosions continued to occur inside.
Green smoke.
"Quickly put out the fire! Save people!"
In the communication channel, no one knew who shouted.
All the federal people who had temporarily lost the enemy rushed to the scene and started emergency rescue.
Although most of the wreckage of the Subrion has been preserved, many senior military officials are frowning. They know what was loaded and transported in the Subrion.
That thing is definitely the first target of the Imperial people.
The chaotic battle in Su Yue Xing began.
