Chapter 345: Complete Abuse and Psychological Warfare
The distance between the 3rd Fleet and the expeditionary force is rapidly shortening, and both sides are approaching.
However, the expeditionary force has been firing alternate salvos of main guns and secondary guns. On the other hand, the 3rd Fleet can only take a beating and has no ability to counterattack. After all, the warships of the Federation Army are inferior to those built by the Forge World.
several eras.
There are also densely packed carrier-based aircraft centered on the squadron, and these carrier-based aircraft of Viking, Falcon and other models also escort Thunder transport aircraft with thermal melt defense capabilities to fly with the expeditionary force, using giant battleships and energy
The shield acts as a cover, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.
Soon, the 3rd Fleet finally launched a counterattack. Live artillery of various calibers and missiles carrying nuclear warheads with an equivalent of 30,400,000 tons, or even millions or tens of millions of tons also stood out and roared towards the expeditionary force.
go.
Just looking at the number of barrages, even though it suffered heavy losses and its troops were sharply reduced, the 3rd Fleet was still superior to the expeditionary force. Moreover, the 3rd Fleet's artillery salvo seemed to be filled with endless anger, and it was bound to kill the expeditionary force in one fell swoop.
Annihilation.
You must know that their federal army may be a bit biased (weak) in other aspects of technology, such as individual soldier protection and ground armored vehicles, but when it comes to "nuclear energy", their federal army is definitely the best, ranging from individual soldiers to large
There are all kinds of nuclear bombs that can burn the entire planet's surface!
Therefore, the interim commander of the 3rd Fleet believes that as long as tens of thousands of missiles carrying nuclear warheads successfully break through the expeditionary force's fire interception network, decadence can be reversed and the situation of total suppression can be changed.
It's a pity that things went counterproductive.
The first salvo of live artillery of various calibers was unable to penetrate the expeditionary force warships with energy shields, and nuclear bombs of various yields...
Boom--!Boom--!Boom--!
The light produced by the explosion suddenly rose, but it quickly dissipated after a short period of time, causing the universe to return to coldness and darkness.
It turned out that all Zeus-class members in the expeditionary force, when they were about to come into contact with the nuclear bomb barrage, took the initiative to generate energy, increased their power and instantly spread an energy shield wall, successfully withstanding all nuclear explosions.
The explosion of a nuclear bomb can indeed produce extremely powerful destructive power, but its power will be greatly reduced in the deep space of the universe. Moreover, this kind of damage is an "area", not a "point". If it is a salvo of electromagnetic main guns, the Zeus-class protection
The shield would definitely not be able to withstand it, but a nuclear explosion... would seem to be a piece of cake.
The expeditionary force, which had resisted all salvoes, was close enough to the 3rd Fleet, so the carrier-based aircraft formation took advantage of the situation to attack and quickly made a surprise attack, escorting the Thunder transport aircraft through the fire net of close-in defense artillery while engaging in dogfights with the enemy aircraft.
After rushing into the 3rd fleet group, each squadron locked the federal ships they targeted and dispersed, creating an opportunity for Thunder to join forces.

…
A certain instrument room of a 500-meter-class destroyer...
"Beep! Beep! Beep!" the alarm sounded.
"All hands on deck, all hands on deck..." and repeated mechanical announcements.
"This is the bridge, I am Captain Savanie Delatier!" At this time, the repeated broadcast was artificially switched to the captain's real-time broadcast: "The Roger Young is about to suffer an enemy attack."
Invasion! Please prepare your mobile infantry to defend against the enemy! Defeat them!"
Hear the words.
"Bastards!" A bald captain who had just put on his combat uniform and mechanical skeleton picked up a short, compact commander's rifle and looked around at the infantry who had also changed their equipment and shouted:
"You all heard what the captain said! Although we are not against the fleet, but!! Without the fleet, our infantry are all fucking landlubbers, so for our tickets, we chased away all the pirates...
"
But a "Boom!!!" sound interrupted the captain's inspirational speech.
I saw that the bulkhead on the far left side of the equipment room and the far left side of the ship was pierced by the melt beam, and the strength of the melt beam did not diminish, directly swallowing everything in its path, and many unlucky people were vaporized by the beam.
, also including the captain who gave a pep talk.
"Hoo!!!" the air surged.
The air pressure imbalance causes the air in the equipment room to leak out quickly, and it will be drained out by space in a short time.
"ah!!!"
"Help!"
"Quick! Climb out!"
It wasn't just the air that was leaking out. The mobile infantry who had just changed their equipment were also among them. Some of the slow-reacting guys were directly sucked out of the ship, while some were more resourceful and immediately used the increased strength brought by the mechanical skeleton to slam into the air.
Touch the floor and prepare to climb out of the equipment room.
"Bang! Bang!"
At this moment, a Thunder transport plane with its wings retracted rushed across the ship, jumped into the Roger Young, and parked in the equipment room.
Immediately afterwards, the Thunder also ejected a rapidly inflated and expanded "rubber" ball, which followed the airflow to block the gap, successfully preventing the violent rolling and leakage of the airflow.
Before the surviving mobile infantry could celebrate, the Thunder transport plane had already opened the cabin door on the lower nose of the aircraft, allowing the infantry to see many emitting green "eyes" flashing in the dim cabin.
The infantrymen immediately wanted to raise their guns.
"Tong! Tong!"
But the muffled gunfire that rang out came from a .75-caliber bolt gun.
"Bang! Bang!" Huge rubber bullets hit the infantry's bodies and protective gear.
"Poof!" A soldier who was hit by a rubber bullet in the middle of his abdomen jumped back into the air due to the strong force, and fell heavily to the ground. He vomited blood, closed his eyes, and tilted his head. He didn't know whether he was dead or not.
live.
Just a face-to-face encounter.
Just one burst of fire.
Hundreds of infantrymen completely lost their mobility and combat capabilities. They lay on the ground wailing, or could not stop foaming at the mouth, twitching all over, and some simply remained motionless.
At this moment, the sound that resounded in the equipment room was more of the "dong, dong" sound made when the magnetic boots stepped on the metal floor.
It turned out that this Thunder transport plane directly delivered a platoon to the Roger Young, a total of thirty Wild Wolves equipped with Mjolnir Mark V.
Moreover, the magazines of these wild wolves do not contain the traditional standard bolts, nor the extremely cruel viper (alien acid blood) bolts, but the rubber bullets that they often come into contact with during training.
Although the word "rubber" is in the name, it does not mean that rubber bullets are a "safe" and "harmless" thing. You must know that they are shot from the barrel of a bolt gun and hit the Astartes.
The body will be swollen and bruised. If it hits a "mortal"...
The mobile infantry paralyzed on the ground is the best result.
Most of the motionless infantrymen had actually expired. After all, these infantrymen were directly hit in the abdomen by rubber bullets, causing rupture and damage to their internal organs.
However, the infantrymen, who were wailing in pain and twitching all over, still had a certain chance of survival. If these wild wolves came up and used standard explosive arrows, the equipment room would have been filled with blood, and there would have been pieces of meat and corpses everywhere.
Replacing the rubber bullets was a "non-lethal" strategy adopted by Russ after discussing with the Red Queen, in order to avoid too many casualties as much as possible. Otherwise, he would charge bravely according to the arrogant advancement of the Astartes, especially the Space Wolves.
With his fighting style, it’s strange that someone is still alive after a gang fight.
After all, what my father wanted was to overthrow the federal government and "bring the population and territory of this side of the galaxy into his own pocket." Naval battles were different from close-range gang wars. If the past gang wars were carried out to plunder and cause heavy casualties, it might lead to serious consequences.
Arouse people's resistance and rebellious psychology.
In terms of controlling public opinion, the Red Queen may not be as good as her "sister" White Queen, but she is far better than humans, so Ruth is also willing to adopt the suggestion of using rubber bullets.
However, the wild wolves who were accustomed to directly killing the enemy were not used to it, so the mobile infantry suffered heavy casualties.
But the problem was not big, and the wild wolves who learned the "lesson" moved on.
"Pang!", a wild wolf directly kicked open the metal gate, and then came to the corridor with his brothers.
Immediately afterwards…
"Tong! Tong!" The muffled gunshot echoed throughout the Roger Young's hull.
This time, facing the heavily armed motorized infantry, the wolves will have "pity" and aim at the infantry's limbs and joints before pulling the trigger.
Facing heavy infantry equipped with thick mechanical skeletons will arouse the desire of the wild wolves to fight. They will attack directly in the face of the bullets, completely dismantle the armor and mechanical skeletons of the heavy infantry, and then give them to those who have lost their protection.
The heavily armored soldier fired with both arms and legs.
Encountering an unarmed crew...
The photo is correct.
Wild wolves don't care whether you are unarmed or not. Their goal is to beat you until you lose your ability to fight.
Next, the combat platoon was divided into five groups to speed up the efficient sweep of the entire Roger Young, and the platoon leader's tactical team had already arrived on the bridge.
Another "Pang!" was heard, and the platoon leader kicked open the closed metal gate, leading the brothers to rush in.
"Da da!"
As soon as they entered, the middle-aged female captain who had made the broadcast before led the entire crew to attack with pistols.
"Buzz~buzz~!" But the warhead could not penetrate Mjolnir's energy shield at all.
"Ding! Bang~!" Moreover, the deflected warhead was still scurrying back and forth in the bridge.
"Ah!" A female crew member with long hair and a ponytail was hit by a bullet in her right arm and was bleeding.
And this female crew member is actually Carmen Ibanez, the ex-girlfriend of tough Corporal Johnny Rigo and the helmsman of the Roger Young.
In Sui Bian's impression, it was this Carmen who had an affair with her boyfriend who modified the route without permission, allowing the Roger Young to discover the asteroid that hit Buenos Aires.
Seeing that the pistol attack was ineffective, but the six wild wolves were still unscrupulous and "slowly" walked into the bridge, the female captain immediately threw away the pistol in her hand, raised her hands neatly, and loudly ordered: "Everyone stops attacking.
!Stop resisting!”
"Captain?!" Everyone was surprised, obviously not expecting the usually stern and rigid captain to order surrender.
"This is an order!" the female captain shouted again.
"yes…"
At this point, all the crew members followed the order, threw away their pistols, and raised their hands to express their willingness to surrender.
The reason why the female captain ordered the surrender is very simple, that is, in the face of absolute strength, all counterattacks are futile. Moreover, she also knows that these tin can giants do not have much murderous intention, otherwise they would not use rubber bullets.
As a captain, she is much more rational and responsible for the young people around her.
but…
There are always those guys who think they know better than the older generation and think they can counterattack.
I saw a handsome-looking male crew member. When the wolves were not paying attention to him, he quickly bent down and reached out to pick up the pistol that was still on the ground, and then prepared to fight at close range.
Launch a sneak attack on the "weak" joint of Mjolnir.
pity…
"Crack!!" The bone makes a heart-wrenching sound when it is crushed by a heavy object.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" echoing in the male's miserable cry, echoing throughout the bridge.
"Hmph." A wild wolf used his left foot to crush the male sailor's right hand that was picking up the gun, looked down, and said in a metallic voice with great disdain: "Trash, don't think I won't kill you."
After saying that, the wild wolf moved his left foot away.
Look at the male crew member's right hand again...it's bloody and bloody, and it's completely disabled. And it's worth mentioning that this guy happened to be Carmen's cheating partner.
Maybe this guy wanted to show off in front of Carmen, hoping that the wild wolf had no murderous intentions and was ready to show off, but who knew that the wild wolf wasn't used to it at all.
The Wolf platoon leader turned sideways slightly, glanced at the male crew member who was holding his right hand on the ground and throbbing in pain, then opened his helmet, revealing to everyone a man with short hair and a copper nail engraved on his forehead, and fired in a circle
, finally focusing on the female captain, and said in a deep voice:
"Captain, please instruct your crew to operate this warship away from the battle line. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, we will never deliberately embarrass you."
"Okay, I hope you can keep your promise." The female captain nodded in agreement.
Outside the ship.
The Roger Young, which was seized by the wolves, took the initiative to break away from the 3rd Fleet under the control of the female captain and a group of crew members, and sailed towards the area where the expeditionary force was located.
Looking around, all the ships that were "patronized" by the Wild Wolf Jump Gang changed their direction. In the end, the 3rd Fleet completely collapsed and was no longer able to support the battle. The remaining ships immediately started to attack regardless of whether the route was safe.
Warp drive escape here.
From the time the 3rd fleet arrived in the L-03 space domain to the time when the remaining ships began to escape, the entire process took less than two hours...
It's funny to say that the 3rd Fleet also asked the Hard Bones Company to persist for two hours. Looking at it now, persisting for two hours is pure nonsense.
At this time, the expeditionary force released a large number of engineering boats and engineering ships and began to inspect and repair the captured federal warships.
At the same time, a large number of transport aircraft and transport boats also carried auxiliary troops and UNSC Marines, landing on these federal warships to assist the Wild Wolves in guarding the prisoners.
Post-war statistics show that the expeditionary force's losses were minimal. After all, the expeditionary force's carrier-based aircraft and individual equipment had energy shields. On the other hand, the 3rd Fleet lost four-fifths of its ships in just two hours.
ships, and most of the ships and the federal soldiers on the ships fell into the hands of the expeditionary force.
It can be said to be a "good start", so the next step is for the Red Queen to engage in a wave of "psychological warfare".
