The counterattacks of all parties started one after another after nightfall. There was no probing. All parties were racing against time and tried their best from the very beginning, making the battle directly enter a fever pitch.

Zhong Mingzhao was the first to start.

With Lu Feng's support behind them, Shenzhou was the most prepared before natural disasters. They even had time to modify an armed convoy in a secret base that could travel long distances in natural disaster environments.

After the last ray of sunshine went down, Zhong Mingzhao dispatched this assault team composed of hundreds of gas-fueled off-road vehicles.

According to the reconnaissance information provided by Lu Feng, the imperial cruiser crashed in the mountainous area on the other side of the continent, completely opposite to the direction of the void rift, and it seemed very safe.

However in fact,

At certain times, our own kind are no safer than bugs.

When the huge convoy drove into the rocky canyon near the shipwreck in the Gobi Desert with billowing smoke, the convoy encountered a premeditated and unknown ambush.

Obviously, Shenzhou is not the only force eyeing this battleship.

The local snakes here relied on the advantage of the terrain to launch ambush, and their backward weapons survived the natural disaster, which gave them the courage to challenge the Shenzhou convoy.

Hundreds of earthen grenades made in handicraft workshops were thrown down from the mountain. The grenades were filled with outdated explosives and mechanical fuses. They exploded in the convoy, and smoke and dust suddenly filled the valley.

Then sparse gunshots rang out, and there was a clear crashing sound on the vehicle's outer shell.

The craftsmanship required to make qualified guns and ammunition is far higher than that of explosives. The technical level of this group is just that, which can be felt from the not dense and varied gunfire.

Soon after,

The fat sheep expected by the ambushers to be slaughtered did not appear, but instead a ferocious beast appeared.

Boom——!Boom——!

The strong vehicle-mounted armor provided the Shenzhou Army with a moderately violent attack.

The Shenzhou convoy in the smoke and dust ignored them and immediately mobilized several tanks equipped with recoilless rifles to open fire. The powerful shells directly destroyed the mountain where the ambushers were hiding, causing heavy losses to the opponent.

Commander Shenzhou then pursued the victory and ordered the rocket launcher to move to the foothills on both sides and cover the opposite hillside with fire.

Whoosh whoosh!

The rockets whizzed past, scaring the ambushers so much that they fled in despair.

In order to improve protection, Shenzhou's vehicle-mounted weapons are usually stored in the trunk, so that these naive ambushers thought it was a transport convoy.

The sudden opening of fire at this time instantly wiped out the few courage of the ambushers.

"Keep moving forward, our goals remain unchanged."

The commander stopped the pursuit of the ambushers and spent time and ammunition killing a few bandits without benefiting the overall situation.

Next,

The convoy successfully arrived near the Empire's sunken ship. After repeated tests, it was found that the warship, whose hull was still intact, had basically lost its long-range firing capability.

But this is only temporary.

No one is sure when Imperial technicians will repair it.

"Execute combat plan No. 1, take action!"

The Shenzhou convoy immediately rushed out from behind the bunker and rushed to the side of the Imperial cruiser at top speed. They kept walking in an S-shape along the way. Fortunately, they were not attacked.

The more than 300-meter-long cruiser in front of them was more than ten stories high. The convoy drove under the hull, and the soldiers became increasingly aware of the hugeness and solidity of the warship in front of them.

There are obvious signs of forced landing on the surrounding ground, but no fallen hull parts can be seen near the long drag marks, only some scorch marks caused by friction and fire, which are harmless.

When they thought that this ship would belong to Shenzhou in the future, the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and courage.

"Attack team, enter! The reserve team is on standby, and the garrison team is guarding the surrounding area!"

The commander of the convoy is a colonel of the Shenzhou Army. If all goes well, he will also be the captain of this battleship. In addition to the boarding commando team, there is also a small team of professional ship technicians in the convoy.

Soon, the rear buckets of two heavy-duty semi-trailers were deployed, and two tall ladders were raised. One led to the surface deck of the sunken ship, and the other led to a remote small connection port.

Lu Feng had a rough structural diagram of this type of cruiser in his mind, so he helped them plan an assault route.

The surface deck allows the commandos to stand and use subsequent lifting cutting equipment to break open some hatch covers and enter the ship. The connections on the side strings lead directly to the engine room. They can also be broken open using a high-power plasma cutting machine.

The demolition work went smoothly. Half an hour later, the side entrance was cut open first, revealing the dark corridor inside.

The commandos immediately poured in quickly along the erected ladders. The first group of soldiers were all wearing CMC-333 power armor, heavy rifles and explosion-proof shields, and they rushed into the ship unstoppably.

Not far away, another red blaster beam hit from the front, causing a violent impact on the explosion-proof shield, forcing the Chinese soldiers to retreat frequently.

"fight back!"

The soldiers behind immediately fired back, and barrages that were more than 10 times denser than the defenders were fired at them. The firelight reflected the position filled with metal cargo boxes at the end of the corridor, as well as the white stormtroopers hiding behind and firing.

Only faint human screams could be heard in the distance during the fierce exchange of fire, and then the blaster beams became noticeably sparser.

"Go forward! Press them with machine guns and hit them!"

Chug tug tug——!

Despite the lagging behind of humanity's weapons, the density of firepower in a single round cannot be compared even with the Empire's blaster machine guns.

The imperial defenders simply could not withstand the terrifying barrage of the Chinese soldiers, and were pinned behind the bunker and did not dare to show their heads.

Soon, the Chinese soldiers behind fired a rifle grenade at the bunker in front. The grenade passed through the bunker and exploded, blowing up the stormtroopers hiding behind and almost completely losing their ability to fight back.

"Shock bomb!"

Advancing to the front, in order to prevent the imperial army from counterattacking, the Chinese soldiers holding up their shields threw two explosive bombs, then strode forward, climbing over the low temporary bunker in one step.

"Don't move, don't kill until you turn your gun on!"

Seeing that the surviving imperial defenders had completely lost their ability to resist, the Chinese soldiers immediately shouted out the classic four words and controlled these fascinated subordinates.

This temporary Imperial Army position is very crude, with only a few cargo boxes and 10 Stormtroopers stationed there.

In fact, the Imperial Army most likely moved its position to this corridor after Shenzhou started cutting the hatches. Everything seemed very hasty.

According to the information provided by Lu Feng, the Aquitens class has a higher degree of automation and has fewer personnel than the Jaeger class.

In addition to the 200 crew members, the number of stormtroopers only ranges from 100 to 200. If the equipment fails, there is almost no resistance.

The battle situation inside the ship was going smoothly. Except for the imperial defenders who liked to lock the door if they couldn't defeat them, there weren't many other obstacles.

After the Shenzhou Army captured several Imperial technicians, the locks inside the ship became easier to crack, saving the commandos a lot of time.

Just then,

The convoy remaining outside was suddenly bombarded by an unknown enemy. The enemy's firepower was very fierce, much stronger than the previous group of ambushers.

The opponent used more than 20 large-caliber mortars, pouring shells at the Shenzhou convoy without any scruples.

"Damn it! The enemy's artillery position is too hidden and our rockets can't reach it!"

The rockets equipped in the convoy are all short-range unguided rockets. When the enemy position cannot be accurately located, the effect of blind firing is very poor, and the opponent's firepower is not reduced at all.

"Logistics team, board the ship immediately with ammunition. The convoy will evacuate here first. You rely on the hull to hold on."

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Shenzhou Motorcade to stay and be bombed for nothing.

So the colonel asked the logistics engineers to deliver the last batch of ammunition to the boarding personnel, and then ordered the convoy to evacuate temporarily, otherwise the convoy that had been built with great difficulty would be blown up here.

There were 200 motorized infantry and 10 engineers left on the ship, which had sufficient ammunition and terrain advantages. To be honest, the colonel was not worried that they would fall.

Although this group of attackers shelled very violently, he did not think that the other party had the ability to board the ship quickly.

After all, who would build two large ladder trucks if they have nothing to do?

In the end, the Shenzhou convoy successfully evacuated from the valley after losing one-tenth of its vehicles, and evacuated to a Shenzhou mine in the distance.

There are affiliated forces of China there that can deal with damaged vehicles and wounded people.

The colonel had already reported the situation to Zhong Mingzhao through an oracle, and Zhong Mingzhao was also a little embarrassed about it.

The best plan at this time is to let the air force support, but now that the air force is out of control, we can't send large troops here to search for those attackers all over the mountains and plains.

In human history, the forces that dared to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress basically paid a heavy price. It is best not to take this tactic unless necessary.

Lu Feng is best able to fly a plane to provide support, but we can't rely entirely on him.

Since we can't quickly deal with the other party, we have to wait for the other party to come to the door. Anyway, the other party's goal is to occupy the sunken ship, so the two sides are bound to have a battle.

Zhong Mingzhao has full confidence in the 200 soldiers left behind.

As expected,

The attackers launched an attack on the sunken ship at midnight that day.

The other party did not have a large ladder, so they had no choice but to rappel.

The attackers took advantage of the darkness and appeared on the hilltop near the sunken ship. They used rockets to launch a large number of steel cable grappling hooks at the top of the ship's hull, creating strong ropeways.

Then a large number of strong black figures slid down the ropeway and landed directly on the spacious surface deck of the sunken ship.

These attackers were highly skilled in tactics. They were agile in the night and moved skillfully between obstacles on the ship's surface, causing the Chinese warriors on the island who were preparing to snipe to frown.

Without advanced sighting equipment, it would be difficult for even a sharpshooter to snipe at high-speed moving targets at night.

"No wait, just open fire! They can't have heavy weapons when they descend!"

At this moment, the Shenzhou Army had fully occupied the Imperial warship, and a small number of them were assigned to guard the Imperial prisoners. The remaining half built positions in the weak spots of the ship's hull, while the other half came to the towering island and deployed snipers with the help of some airlock doors and vents.
