Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 270 The Final Offensive Begins

The heavily armed robot, holding a shield, leads the way, while unmanned combat units equipped with electromagnetic machine guns spread out to the left and right, primarily responsible for fire support and drawing enemy attention.

Behind the heavy-duty robots are firepower robots wielding 120mm rocket launchers, tasked with attacking the electromagnetic cannons on the backs of the silicon-based creatures with their shaped-charge armor-piercing rockets.

At the very back are a series of hound multi-purpose combat platforms, whose robotic arms on their backs allow them to flexibly use the wall-penetrating bomb launchers assigned to them.

Each attack team consists of 6 to 10 robots. Because the unmanned combat units of these infantry divisions are roughly the same model, but the early solid-state batteries they are equipped with do not support long-term firing of large-caliber electromagnetic machine guns, the low firepower sustainability needs to be compensated for by the number of robots.

With the powerful computing support of the flagship, the robots of the 2nd Medium Combined Arms Brigade and the 7th Infantry Division quickly completed their integration. Subsequently, a large number of tactical groups launched an assault on the silicon-based creatures in the rear positions, tearing apart these alien creatures that posed a great threat to humanity with their weapons.

This tactical formation was entirely driven by combat experience. Under Cleveland's command, these formations operated at 120% of their combat effectiveness, quickly and efficiently eliminating the small and medium-sized silicon-based organisms guarding the logistics base.

After the logistics position was captured, the external silicon-based biological swarm launched an even fiercer attack, but could not advance an inch against the heavily armored forces guarding the pass.

"Commander, the enemy's fourth logistics position has been captured. Requesting the deployment of fixed artillery positions."

"permit."

After receiving permission from Lorraine, Cleveland quickly mobilized 12 extra-large airdrop crates and 60 standard airdrop crates.

Subsequently, armored towing vehicles at the forward base began to work, dragging out 12 extra-large airdrop containers, each the size of a standard 40-inch shipping container, and then pulling them onto the loading platform of two large electromagnets.

After the armored tractor vehicle leaves the platform, the four robotic arms on both sides of the platform begin to work, placing the airdrop container into a shell similar to a glide bomb, while simultaneously installing power to the airdrop container's power unit.

Once preparations were complete, these light gray standard airdrop containers were transported to the launch site.

[Airdrop container launch ready, airspace coordination complete, launch permitted.]

Two large electromagnetic catapults were activated sequentially at 10-second intervals, launching the two 30-ton airdrop containers into the air at a speed of Mach 0.7.

Once it reaches the designated altitude, the large glider on top of the airdrop container unfolds, and the power systems on both sides of the container start working, propelling the container to cruise in the air at a speed of Mach 0.7.

"The 103rd and 104th Army Aviation Regiments have completed their preparations, and all personnel are equipped with 140mm shaped charge armor-piercing rockets and air-to-ground missiles."

"The forward-deployed air base has been completed, and eight Qianlong fighter jets and two Grey Falcon UAV squadrons have arrived."

"In addition, twenty Cormorant tiltrotor aircraft have arrived at the logistics base and are ready to carry out resupply missions at any time."

"The 11th Artillery Division has been reorganized, with a total of 12 siege tanks and 40 155mm vehicle-mounted electromagnetic guns."

Listening to the series of data released by Cleveland, the three senior officers on the communication channel did a simple calculation of the number of our military units and found that the difference between the number of our military units and the number of silicon-based biological clusters was only about 1.

"In addition, the large electromagnetic interference field was very effective, and the enemy's various units almost lost their long-distance communication capabilities."

"Understood. Ms. Cleveland, please switch the communication channel to broadcast mode and connect to the Stonehenge base."

"Wait a moment, data link is being established. Data link established. Knight Keld, you may now broadcast to all officers and soldiers."

The old knight straightened up, straightened his clothes, then took the knight's sword from its sheath at his waist, placed his hands together on the end of the hilt.

"Comrades, warriors of the Torchbearer Order..."

At the old knight's voice, the 11th Artillery Division, which was already in position, unleashed a fierce barrage of fire, covering the retreat of the second line of defense.

Eight Qianlong heavy fighter jets, laden with bombs, entered the taxiway, followed by 48 13-ton Grey Falcon-9 drones.

On this 1600-meter-long runway, 56 aircraft were arranged in a staggered pattern, taking off in a dense formation resembling elephants walking.

"Now, the all-out offensive begins!"

Inside the launch site, the launch pad of a hypersonic tactical missile launcher was erected high. As the old knight finished speaking, a large amount of high-temperature plasma surged out of the cannon barrel, propelling the rocket-boosted projectile toward the outer perimeter of the Stonehenge base.

Several gliders were launched by electromagnetic catapults, dropping the entire 8th Infantry Division to the outskirts of the fortress.

Twenty-four overweight tanks, transported by transport ship, advanced with the 101st and 102nd Air Assault Brigades to clear obstacles outside the second line of defense.

The 5th Heavy Combined Arms Brigade, having completed its mission to eliminate silicon-based organisms around the fortress, turned around to block the silicon-based organism swarms that were supporting the western battlefield from the eastern battlefield.

The engines of 56 aircraft started at full speed, and one after another they took off from the runway, quickly gaining altitude and forming four-aircraft formations, flying towards their respective target areas.

The first and third medium-sized combined arms brigades were quickly deployed to the battlefield, preparing to directly attack the flanks of the main silicon-based biological force.

The First Sharp Blade Assault Team continues to operate alongside the Fourth Medium Combined Arms Brigade. They will form crossfire with the Second Sharp Blade Assault Team and launch an attack behind the silicon-based biological cluster.

而101、102陆航团所属的4个黄蜂武装直升机营在10分钟后起飞，作为第2批航空打击力量进入战场。

When the electric field chaff missile reached an altitude of 2 kilometers, the rudders on both sides began to operate, instantly changing the missile's flight direction from the sky to the ground.

Propelled by rocket engines, the projectiles accelerated, flying over the Stonehenge base at Mach 2 and instantly striking the main force of silicon-based organisms operating between the second and third lines of defense.

A silent explosion rose from the ground, and the silicon-based creature between the two lines of defense instantly fell to the ground, completely losing all ability to move.

The silicon-based bio-group behind witnessed all of this and began to call upon the remaining silicon-based bio-groups on the battlefield to launch a concentrated attack on this location.

At this moment, Xu Ling's assault ship swept over the Stonehenge base, dropped a drop pod, and flew north, dropping five mechs, including Platinum, at an extremely low altitude between the second and third lines of defense.

"Knight Commander, this is a power armor specially made for you. In addition, I will serve as your last line of defense and protect you at all times."

When 24 overweight tanks arrived at the breach in the defense line aboard six transport ships, the breach in the second line of defense had more than doubled in size.

Looking down at the densely packed enemy units, Lorraine decisively moved four Qianlong fighter jets and 12 Gray Falcon 9 drones to this location.

Six transport ships launched a large number of smoke grenades to obscure the enemy's air vision, followed by 16 fighter jets flying low and evenly dropping 60 tons of bombs on the area.

As the fireball from the explosion lit up the sky and the shockwave dispersed the smoke, six transport ships braved the intense heat to make a forced landing, dropping 16 conventional super-heavy tanks and 8 Hunter-type super-heavy tanks onto the site.

Subsequently, the transport ship overloaded its engines, propelling it to rapidly gain altitude and avoid being concentrated fire from a large number of enemy units.

The 24 super-heavy tanks slowly retreated while attacking the silicon-based creatures from all directions, stopping at the wreckage of the former second line of defense.

Immediately afterwards, conventional super-heavy tanks surged out of the third line of defense, eliminating the silicon-based creatures moving between the two lines of defense while heading towards the gap in the defense.

The 11th Artillery Division once again split into two groups: one group provided fire support for the two medium combined arms brigades that were rapidly advancing, while the other group frantically cleared the outer perimeter of Line 2 to prevent the silicon-based organisms from continuing their attack on the line.

When the silicon-based organisms within the two lines of defense were wiped out, several airdrop pods carrying the 8th Infantry Division had successfully landed, and tens of thousands of unmanned combat units of different types quickly took action.

Most of the unmanned units moved into the second line of defense to relieve the exhausted soldiers, while a small number of unmanned combat units joined up with the super-heavy tanks to fight alongside them as a supplementary force to their auxiliary units.

Under intense artillery fire, all silicon-based organisms within 400 meters of the breach were eliminated. Subsequently, the siege tanks and 155mm electromagnetic cannons responsible for clearing the surrounding area ceased fire, and the 30 155mm electromagnetic cannons that had previously arrived at the Stonehenge base took over the battlefield.

Under the barrage of shells, more than 30 super-heavy tanks were quickly pushed outwards, forming a semi-circular protrusion at the gap.

The engineering corps then quickly moved forward, using materials and nano-repair systems to construct simple defensive lines.

Meanwhile, the logistics troops behind were not idle either. A large number of aerogel bunker bombs were launched, acting as stumbling blocks in the path of the silicon-based creatures.

At this moment, the air assault brigade arrived on the battlefield, and the Wasp attack helicopters responsible for escorting them unleashed their full firepower, slamming 140mm shaped-charge armor-piercing rockets and air-to-ground missiles into the enemy ranks below, opening up landing zones for the airborne heavy infantry units.

The Peregrine 35 heavy helicopter responsible for the transport quickly descended, opened its bottom hatch, and airdropped all the heavily armed infantrymen from a height of 10 meters.

Subsequently, half of the attack helicopters, along with the Peregrine 35 heavy helicopters, climbed to a higher altitude, spewing large amounts of flares and chaff in the air to disrupt the enemy's aim.

The remaining half of the armed helicopters continued to hover at low altitudes, using their onboard 30mm high-penetration electromagnetic railguns to bombard high-risk targets around the landing zone, providing cover for the heavy infantry groups on the ground.

After these heavily armed infantry groups gained footing on the ground, they quickly approached the silicon-based organisms that had already fallen in front of them.

Using the remains of these silicon-based creatures as cover, the heavily armored mechs quickly checked their weapons and then began a counter-attack.
