On the surface of Higgs 5, in front of the defense positions of the Airanshir Empire, densely packed sweepers are launching their attacks.

They ran forward quickly, crossing the deep pits and trenches blocking the road, like vigorous monkeys.

Behind them, huge destroyer tanks struggled to climb up the trenches one by one, their tall gun barrels looking majestic.

The garrison troops of the Elanshir Empire did not open fire immediately because they were hiding deep in the dense forest and had a very good opportunity to fire and have a good view of the attack.

Every machine gun muzzle is carefully designed, and every blocking position has been prepared long ago. The clone soldiers holding weapons are just waiting for an order to fire.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, the clone officer who had been commanding on the front line looked at the adjutant beside him and ordered: "Gentlemen! The banquet has begun! Counterattack!"

"Fire!" The adjutant grabbed the field phone next to him and loudly shouted the order he had been waiting for.

Behind this headquarters, on a firing position covered by dense forest, the Airanhill Empire artillery puppet, which had already aligned its scales, pulled the firing rope of the cannon that had already been loaded with shells.

"Boom!" The large-caliber howitzer let out a deafening roar. A 155mm-caliber howitzer flew out of the muzzle, crossed the clouds, exhausted its kinetic energy, fell to a high point, began to dive, and finally hit a group of people charging forward.

among the sweepers.

In an instant, the entire forward position of the Eilanhir Empire was covered by intensive artillery fire. Countless artillery shells fell from the sky, and the explosion enveloped the entire preset fire position.

The swept-up troops were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. They tried to speed up and cross this dangerous area full of fire.

However, when they tried to speed up, denser artillery fire spread rapidly from in front of the defense position of the Elanthir Empire.

That was the long-range rocket launcher of the Airansil Empire, which was used in conjunction with the cluster bombs for real coverage shooting. With just one salvo, the rockets from the Airansil Empire turned the front of their own position into a true hell.

The broken limbs of the sweeper troops were scattered everywhere, and hundreds of thousands of sweepers were lost on the road of attack without any effect.

The extremely powerful Destroyer Tank during the battle against the Heavenly Sword Divine Sect became vulnerable in the face of such dense artillery fire.

Even if it just explodes nearby, the shock wave of the 155mm caliber howitzer is enough to overturn the Destroyer and even cut off the Watcher's tank from the waist.

"Huh..." A gust of wind blew past the defense position of the Eilanhir Empire. The sweepers who retreated in a hurry left tens of thousands of corpses behind and retreated several kilometers away before reluctantly stopping.

pace.

As for the artillery of the Airanhill Empire, they stopped firing uniformly after the enemy retreated, as if nothing had happened just now.

On the ground, the body of the watcher was slowly disappearing, as if it was evaporating. However, the crater left behind also contained various shrapnel, proving to everyone the brutality of the thunder just now.

Putting down the telescope, the clone commander looked at his adjutant again: "Do you think they will find that we are a tough nut to crack and then go around to the other side to attack other positions?"

"That's great. They will find that it's not just us, there are hard bones everywhere." The adjutant smiled, his face full of relief.

Just now, they only used one round of artillery fire to repel the enemy. Such an intense battle indeed made people feel very relaxed.

"I heard that the nuclear bomb attack was very effective. The enemy seems to have lost most of its troops on the surface of the planet." The officer mentioned the earlier nuclear bomb attack.

The approximate results of the attack effect have been estimated through computer calculations. The computer determined that the opponent had lost at least 1 million combat troops.

Being able to achieve such results can be said to be enough for the troops stationed in the Higgs 5 area of ​​the Airanhill Empire.

Their defensive positions were still intact and they could hold on for a long time if they held on, but they had already wiped out a large number of enemy ground troops.

"Our mission is to hold on to this position until victory comes or we are killed..." the adjutant said: "Other things seem to have nothing to do with us."

"Report!" At this time, an officer walked into the underground bunker, stood at attention and saluted and reported: "The enemy launched a second attack. This time their formation was spread out and more 'tanks' were put in.

"

"More Destroyers? What a waste of money! Let's take a look and see if our defensive position can withstand the enemy's first attack." The leading officer smiled and ordered: "Wait for the enemy.

After crossing the final strike scale, the artillery fires the second round of covering fire!"

"Understood! Sir!" The officer who walked in stood at attention and saluted, turned and walked out of the command post.

Behind the headquarters, in the half-covered bunker, the puppet artillery loader of the Eilanhir Empire tirelessly held the heavy shells and began a new round of loading.

At the same time, those rocket launchers that were fixed on the turret and could rotate at any angle returned to their original position driven by the hydraulic rod.

They retreated to the loading equipment around them, and then the loading device was connected to the rocket launch box, and the brand-new rockets, together with the launch tube, were pushed into the launch box.

The entire loading was completed automatically, and the speed was very fast. After preparing the ammunition for the second salvo, nearby operators began to evacuate the launcher.

As they ran away, these fully automatic rocket launchers began to rotate and raise their heads, once again aiming their rocket launchers in the direction of the enemy's attack.

In the trenches of the defensive position, the puppet soldiers of the Eilanhir Empire knelt on one knee, waiting for the order to start the attack.

They have loaded their weapons with magazines, and the 10 mm caliber assault rifle is the core weapon and equipment of the puppet army's individual soldiers.

In order to increase the power of these weapons, one out of every five puppets is equipped with grenades. Compared with the puppets made by the previous puppet empire, they are many times more advanced.

"Counterattack!" As a mechanical voice sounded, all the puppets stood up in unison. They picked up the weapons in their hands, pulled the gun bolts skillfully, then stuck out their heads and aimed at the target in front of them.

"Boom!" As soon as they aimed at the target, they started strafing. A dense rain of bullets enveloped the front of the position, sieving the onrushing sweepers.

At the same time, the sweepers finally found the target of the attack and began their attack. Two balls of black energy hit the front of the trench where fire was being fired, lifting up the soil and the green vegetation left to conceal the trench.

.

Behind the position, a puppet soldier was affected by the shock wave and took two steps back to sit in the trench. However, it was not injured. Instead, it stood up mechanically, picked up its weapon, and continued to aim at the target and fire.

"Thud, tug, tug!" Its shooting accuracy was very high, and it could almost ignore the recoil. A series of bullets were fired at it, and several sweepers were shot and fell to the ground.

"Boom!" Once again, a black energy group flew in and hit other positions in the position that were spitting out tongues of fire. The sweepers were not passively beaten. On the contrary, they were more powerful than all the enemies the Airanhill Empire had encountered before.

.

Simply comparing the individual firepower of both sides, even the Sweepers are stronger. Their weapons are obviously more powerful than the assault rifles of the Elanshir Empire.

However, the weapons of the Elanthir Empire also have advantages. First of all, the bullets fly faster, have better trajectories, and seem to be more accurate.

As the battle progressed, more sweepers got the opportunity to open fire and attack, and their energy bombs finally began to cause trouble to the defense forces of the Elanthir Empire.

On the frontal position, a gap was opened in a trench, and the bodies of several Elanshir Empire puppet soldiers inside were blown to pieces, and their parts were scattered in the trench.

Before other puppet soldiers could rush over to fill the gap, another section of the trench was blown down, many puppet soldiers were damaged, and the frontal firepower was also weakened a lot.

As if they were used to consuming their opponents like this, or seeing the dawn of victory, the Sweepers roared and started a new round of charge. Surrounded by them, another Destroyer approached.

On the machine gun defense position on the flank that had not been exposed until now, the two clone troopers aimed the new weapons in their hands at the sweeper troops who had exposed the flank to them.

The weapon in their hands is an electromagnetic machine gun with an incredible rate of fire. It is powerful and has a super powerful ability to dump ammunition.

The moment the monitor in front of him turned green, the shooter operating the machine gun fiercely pulled the trigger to fire.

In an instant, the bullet accelerated by the electromagnetic device left a faint white trace in the air, cutting into the flank of the Watcher's attacking force like a sickle.

Before he could even turn around, one of the cleaners was shot in half by a bullet. Next to this cleaner, another cleaner only had time to turn sideways before his head was blown off by the incoming bullet.

Like a combine harvester, the attacking sweeper troops fell instantly. Only then did the rest realize that a terrifying firepower point suddenly appeared beside them.

The Heavenly Sword Shen Sect had no weapons to carry out a flanking attack, but the machine guns of the Airan Hill Empire easily accomplished it.

This kind of defense is really ten times and a hundred times stronger than the superficial fake of the Heavenly Sword Shen Sect. It can even be said that it is not on the same level at all.

It was almost like a razor. Where the electromagnetic machine gun swept, no standing sweepers could even be seen. In just a few seconds, this machine gun position killed at least seventy or eighty sweeper infantry.

However, the sweepers did not sit still and wait for death. Just when the machine gun position was roaring and harvesting the heads of the watcher troops, a destroyer tank on the other side had already pointed its muzzle at this place.

"Boom!" A huge ball of black energy directly hit the firing machine gun position, and the explosion soaring into the sky made the roar of the machine gun disappear instantly.

Before they even had time to retreat, the firing machine gun position was blown into the air by a shot from the Destroyer tank, and the two shooters were not spared.

The power mechas of the clones do not have such strong protective capabilities. After all, in order to arm hundreds of millions of soldiers, the Airanhill Empire cannot guarantee that all people can use the most cutting-edge weapons and equipment.

In fact, the power mecha equipped by the clones is a simplified and enhanced version of the first-generation power mecha, with simplified defense and some excess combat performance, and enhanced "cheap" devices such as digital informatization.

The machine gun position over there was blown away by a cannon, and another machine gun position here suddenly opened fire. These machine gun defense positions outside the main position were originally sacrificed parts, so the clones stationed in these positions

The soldier never thought he could survive.

They were just waiting, waiting for a reasonable opportunity to fire, exchanging their own lives for more enemy lives, that's all.

"For Ilantheil!" When he pulled the trigger, the clone soldier with the QR code engraved on his forehead had sharp eyes. He muttered softly, and then started shooting wildly.

"For His Majesty the Emperor!" Next to him, the deputy shooter in charge of supplying ammunition belts also muttered. In front of him was a portable ammunition feeder, which contained a full 3,000 rounds of bullets that could support the electromagnetic machine gun firing.

Such an ammunition box was only enough for one shot, so he also carried a spare ammunition box on his back. The reason why he did not carry more was because he expected that they would not be able to finish so many bullets.

War is so cruel. Even before the battle breaks out, when supplies and bullets are being distributed, how long this soldier can survive has already been calculated...

On the frontal position, the puppet soldiers who kept firing had been blown away by the black energy group. It was not surprising that this outer line of defense would be breached anytime.

Originally, this was not the main defensive position of the Eilanhir Empire. It was just the outer position of the outer position. To be honest, it was basically just a complicated trench defense line.

There are not even minefields in front of this defensive position, there is not even barbed wire, there are not even "dragon teeth" to hinder the advancement of enemy tanks, and there are not even many clone soldiers...

When a puppet soldier inserted the magazine into his assault rifle, pulled the bolt, and poked his head out again, a ball of black energy hit him and blew it away.

The gravel kicked up by the explosion hit the body of another puppet soldier nearby. It continued to fire without paying attention, knocking down a sweeper in the distance who was trying to climb over the corpse of his companion.

In the communication trench behind the trench, another neat group of puppet soldiers came running quickly. They were the reserves to supplement the trench. After entering the trench, they lined up along the trench one by one, aiming their weapons at the distant enemy.

enemy.

In fact, due to being bombarded by black energy in turn, the entire trench has been changed beyond recognition, and most areas can no longer even function as bunkers.

However, these puppets still strictly followed the orders to stand firm. They held their own weapons and stood bravely in front of the sweeper army.

The second machine gun position on the side began to roar, and the dense bullets on the flank once again harvested the sweeper troops. A group of sweepers fell down, and some sweepers began to crawl, and then used black energy to greet the firing machine gun position.
