Chapter 115: Bloody Battle in Diamond City (1)
"To avoid exposure, all fighter planes are transported through underground tunnels, and combatants take underground rail cars to the Golden Steel City." Baron Hughes ordered.
A group of us bid farewell to the Prince and Prince for the time being, and headed to the Milk City Railway Station under the leadership of Baron Hughes.
The rail station is located below the underground city, and these huge tunnels are dug deeper into the mountain, providing better concealment.
Soon, a group of us arrived at the station, which was already crowded with soldiers who were about to go to Jingang City to support them. They were all waiting on the platform for the rail car.
The entire platform is divided into two levels: high and low. All of us were crowded on the upper level, and there were only a few people on the lower level.
"Why don't you go to the lower level and take the rail car? Everyone is crowded here. The command and dispatch here is too chaotic." Zhang Baoer said.
"The lower level is the arrival level, not the departure level." Baron Hughes explained.
"This is a special situation during wartime. Can't arrival and departure be used at the same time? It's too inflexible." Zhang Baoer showed a very experienced look and criticized the station's dispatch.
Baron Hughes smiled and was noncommittal.
A loud friction sound of train wheels coming into contact with the rails came from a distance.
Soon, I saw a six-car rail car rushing straight up from the depths of the ground at an angle of 180 degrees from the dark tunnel. Then the car entered the buffer lane, turned flat and stopped at the station.
Many civilians poured out of the rail car. It seemed that they had retreated from Jingang City and took refuge in the rear.
After all the refugees got off the train, two thick mechanical arms hung from the sky, grabbed the front of the train, and pulled the entire train toward higher ground until it was in front of us.
"Fellow warriors, our car is here." Baron Hughes said to us.
Everyone immediately entered the rail car and looked for seats to sit down. There were three safety ropes on each rail car seat.
"Is this car shaking too much? It needs three seat belts." Zhang Baoer asked.
"I guess it's going very fast, let's tie it up." I saw the other soldiers quickly tied on the safety ropes, and also fastened the three ropes firmly on themselves.
A green signal light came on.
"Everyone, please sit tight, the speed may get a little faster in a while." Baron Hughes reminded.
"How fast can it be?" Zhang Baoer asked.
Before Paul finished speaking, I felt that the three safety ropes on my body suddenly tightened, tightly binding our bodies in the seats, and then the rail car rushed forward like lightning.
Before I could get used to it, the rail car suddenly turned 180 degrees downward and rushed straight into the depths of the ground.
A huge feeling of weightlessness came towards us, but the railcar showed no intention of stopping, and instead rushed toward the center of the earth at an ever-increasing speed.
The wheels and the rails rubbed violently, making a sharp sound, and the entire riding experience was extremely poor.
I saw that Zhang Baoer beside me had already vomited, followed closely by Daomu and Diudiu on the other side, who were also vomiting like a fountain.
After falling in a straight line like this for about 20 minutes, everyone's ability to withstand weightlessness has immediately reached the limit.
Suddenly, the rail car made a U-shaped change of direction, and the entire body changed its direction to upward. It still maintained a 180-degree vertical angle and rushed upward.
The torment of this transformation made me feel like my heart was pounding inside my body, but the upward feeling was far better than falling vertically.
I feel that the rail car is gradually decelerating, and the upward resistance is absorbing the acceleration caused by the previous inertia.
Suddenly, I understood the principle of this urban railcar, which is to create acceleration through the gravity of the Akaliut star, and then use inertia to achieve the destination at the other end. "What kind of crap technology is this, although it saves money"
Energy loss, but the riding experience is too bad." I complained in my mind.
Just tossing my heart like this, the rail car gradually slowed down and stopped at the last buffer.
All the soldiers got out of the car and gathered together as if nothing had happened. Lao Du and I were fine. After the safety rope was untied, Paul, Daum and Diudiu lay on the ground retching.
"Maybe you are not used to our urban rail system, I'm very sorry." Baron Hughes said.
"This ride experience needs improvement." I replied.
Everyone helped a motion sickness patient to the platform.
"Which team should we join to fight?" I asked.
"Warrior of the Waning Moon, I just thought about it for a long time on the rail car and have a suggestion." Baron Hughes replied.
"If you have any suggestions, just say it. War is coming, and we will obey orders." I said.
"That would be great, I would like to ask you to join me in commanding the Battle of Golden Steel City." Baron Hughes suggested.
"Let me take part in commanding operations, but I have no experience." I refused in surprise.
"I think you have potential in this area. Everyone should maximize their value in the appropriate position." Baron Hughes continued.
"Wangyue, I think what Baron Hughes said makes sense. It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. With you cooperating with the command, we can rest assured." Lao Du said.
"Cangyue, you go ahead, Lao Du and I will go to the battlefield first." Zhang Baoer also expressed his support.
Suddenly there was a dull loud noise, the entire mountain began to shake faintly, and some dust and debris fell from the top of the station.
"No, the enemy's attack has begun. We need to go to the headquarters quickly." Baron Hughes said.
"Daom, Diudiu, you two go to the headquarters with me. I need your data and experience." I ordered.
"Which army should we join?" Zhang Baoer asked.
"You first report to the heavy assault convoy at the eastern gate." Baron Hughes ordered.
After receiving the order, Zhang Baoer and Lao Du took action immediately and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Paul." I called Zhang Baoer and took off my deformation protection equipment and gave it to him: "You must stay alive. I will go over and join you at any time."
Zhang Baoer nodded to me, turned around and left quickly with Lao Du.
The sound of artillery outside the mountain became louder and louder. I followed Hughes quickly through the station and rushed towards the wartime headquarters.
The city has been turned into a large barracks, and all residents have been evacuated, leaving only soldiers on the streets who are constantly transporting ammunition and other necessities.
A few minutes later, we arrived at the wartime command room, which was already busy.
"Lord Andy, I am Hughes, the combat command and staff officer at the headquarters. This is Li Canyue, the consultant of the Interstellar Alliance. I have been ordered to come to cooperate with the operation." Baron Hughes saluted an older officer.
"Advisor of the Interstellar Alliance, you are so young, have you ever fought in a war?" City Lord Andy, who was busy making arrangements, raised his head and glanced at me.
"Report to the city lord that you are participating in the battle." I replied.
"Is Prince Gade still in Milk City?" City Lord Andy ignored me and asked Baron Hughes.
"The prince is still making some follow-up deployments. He ordered the defenders of Jingang City to hold on to Jingang City for three days at any cost. The prince will come to support immediately after the deployment is completed." Baron Hughes replied.
"Okay, that's just right. Let's attend the combat deployment meeting together." City Lord Andy ordered.
As he was speaking, a young officer projected a holographic thermal image of the Golden Steel City on the central console. From both the top and the bottom of the mountain, there were imperial troops advancing towards the entrance of the Golden Steel City. The Imperial transport ships were rising and falling, and were moving towards the entrance of the Golden Steel City.
Send a large number of troops.
"At present, our army's anti-aircraft fire has locked up the area in front of the gate of Jingang City. The enemy's transport ships can only land at the top and bottom of the mountain to drop soldiers, and then advance towards the main gate of our city." The young officer began to introduce the latest battle situation.
"How many defensive forces do we have during the enemy's advance?" City Lord Andy asked.
"About one-third of the troops are blocking the advancing troops along the way, trying to cause maximum damage as much as possible." the young officer replied.
"Where are the remaining two-thirds of the troops deployed?" Baron Hughes asked.
"Most of them have gathered in the direction of the main entrance, preparing to resist the enemy's frontal attack." the young officer replied.
"What is the current situation of the enemy's attack in the middle?" Baron Hughes continued to ask.
"The enemy is currently using heavy assault guns in an attempt to remotely weaken our company's anti-aircraft artillery fire. From the thermal image, it can be seen that a large number of drones and air defense warships are gathering, and it seems that they are preparing to start the first wave of strong attacks.
"The young officer replied.
"This is why you deployed heavy troops right in front." I asked.
"Yes, I do think so." The young officer continued to answer.
"I suggest that all the troops gathered at the main gate in the middle be immediately deployed to the defensive forces along the way. The enemy infantry still needs to pass through a defensive area to reach the main gate. Our army can use its powerful forces to concentrate on killing the enemy's infantry.
"I suggested.
"Keep talking." City Lord Andy replied.
"At the main gate of the central government, all technical weapons should be concentrated to fight against the enemy's drones and air defense warships. As long as the infantry is advantageously killed, the enemy's fighter planes will not be able to completely occupy our city even if they attack." I described in detail.
my plan.
"I agree with Cangyue's suggestion. At present, there is no need to concentrate so many troops in the middle. They should be deployed dispersedly to cause powerful damage to the infantry along the way." Baron Hughes said in cooperation.
City Lord Andy thought for a while and then said: "Adjust the deployment of troops according to the opinions of the headquarters staff and order the troops along the way to block the enemy infantry with all their strength."
The young officer immediately deployed to execute the order, when the enemy's heavy artillery attack suddenly stopped.
"Intelligence officer, I want the latest battle situation at the main gate." City Lord Andy asked anxiously.
"Lord Andy, it seems that enemy fighter planes have begun to gather and are preparing to storm the gate of Jingang City." The intelligence officer replied, pointing to the dense red dots on the projection.
"What is the current deployment of weapons and troops at the main gate?" City Lord Andy asked.
"The 50 heavy assault guns and the 30 Bird fighters assisted by the headquarters have all been deployed behind the city gate, and the firing ports have all been opened. In addition, there are approximately 100 automatic electromagnetic turrets and laser beam towers deployed near the gate area." Intelligence.
The officer replied.
"Okay, now that everything is ready, let these invaders come over." City Lord Andy encouraged everyone.
"Reporting to the city lord, the defense troops along the route are in place and are engaging in fierce exchanges of fire with the enemy infantry that is rapidly attacking. Judging from the time, it has successfully slowed down the enemy's attack speed." After the deployment, the young officer reported back the latest battle situation.
"Tell everyone, the longer it takes, the more time it takes to do a good job, kill a lot of people, and don't let them get into the ground war at the main gate too quickly." City Lord Andy ordered.
"Intelligence officer, convert the thermal projection image into a video image. We want to see the specific situation inside and outside the main entrance." Baron Hughes ordered.
Following the order, the intelligence officer immediately activated the video surveillance system. Two huge screens clearly projected the deployment of the troops inside and outside the main gate of Jingang City.
