Chapter 64 City Wall?
"This is Monica. The landing area has been cleared. You can notify the transport ship to land!" Monica looked at the good news from each team and called the battlefield command center.
"Received. The transport ship has been notified. It will land in the square in front of the Torch Building in 20 minutes."
Ten minutes later, Monica's team and the rest of the team had returned to the Torch Building. At this time, the transport ship in the sky was very close.
"Send someone to the perimeter for alert!" Monica turned and ordered the adjutant who came over.
Hundreds of soldiers spewed gas from the soles of their shoes and jumped out of the square.
The transport ship in the sky was getting closer and closer. The huge ship covered the sky above the square. The airflow from the huge engines on both sides of the transport ship blew away some damaged billboards.
A huge roar sounded, and the huge transport ship slowly landed on the ground. The heavy ship crushed some ruins that had not collapsed into powder.
The huge landing gear hit the ground heavily, squeezing and deforming the vehicles on the street. As the exhaust sound came, the armor on both sides of the transport ship slowly lifted up, and the huge deck fell to the ground and splashed a cloud of dust.
One after another, huge tanks drove down from the transport ship, with two thick gun barrels pointing to the sky, and four one-meter-wide huge tracks rolling deep marks on the mud.
This giant tank called Mammoth is equipped with two rail guns, eight air-to-ground dual-purpose missiles and three Gauss machine guns.
There is also a six-person crew compartment on the belly of the tank, which can protect the marines through the fire coverage area.
The entire tank is painted in the Empire's usual black paint, which looks extraordinary.
There is only one reason for using tracks instead of anti-gravity engines. The cost of miniaturized anti-gravity engines that can drive such heavy armor is too expensive!
Following the twenty Mammoth tanks is the Wolf Spider armored transport vehicle.
This armored vehicle has twelve pairs of road wheels on the flat mechanical arms on both sides, and the huge mechanical arms can crawl on the ruins like a spider after unfolding. This unique design gives it excellent passing ability.
This wolf spider armored transport vehicle has a Gauss machine gun on the front and roof, and four air-to-ground dual-purpose missiles on the roof. It ensures that it has the main transportation capacity while also having self-defense and certain attack capabilities.
A total of fifty heavy armored vehicles drove out of the cabin and lined up in a row on the square.
The engines on both sides of the transport ship that had unloaded the equipment violently sprayed airflow, and after the deck was retracted, the armor on both sides slowly closed and slowly took off.
The transport ship left the square and flew into the sky.
At this moment! Several small flashes flew out of the clouds and hit the propeller of the transport ship. The huge explosion tore the propeller on one side of the transport ship apart.
The pilot of the transport ship tried his best to control the balance, but unexpectedly, five blue-painted Alliance fighters flew out of the clouds. The wings of the fighters tilted back slightly, and they flew towards the transport ship like an osprey hunting.
The Alliance fighter flew under the transport ship in the blink of an eye. The pilot of the fighter raised the nose of the plane, aimed the machine gun at the only two intact thrusters left on the transport ship, and pulled the trigger.
There were bursts of explosions from the transport ship's thrusters, and soon flames began to emerge. The transport ship, which had lost power, rotated disorderly and hit the ground with gray smoke.
Fortunately, the transport ship had not flown too high, and there was no explosion when it hit the ground. Instead, it slid forward for thousands of meters and hit a building, leaving a huge gully on the ground.
"Damn it, why didn't I encounter the Alliance's aerospace fighters when I was airborne? It turns out that they are all hidden and used now!" Monica couldn't understand why the Alliance's fighters didn't attack when they were airborne, but had to wait until now.
But there was no time to think. Monica ordered loudly: "Before the enemy rises, all mammoths launch anti-aircraft missiles!"
The mammoths parked on the square ejected the missile launcher behind the turret, and missiles flew into the air from the square.
However, the alliance's fighter planes had long anticipated that they would be attacked from the ground, so after a successful attack, they turned the thrusters to maximum power and rushed into the sky like a sharp arrow.
The missiles that lost their targets turned around aimlessly in the air for several circles, and some of them collided with each other and exploded into beautiful fireworks.
"Damn it!" Monica smashed her fist hard on the tall body of the mammoth beside her.
It's not that the Empire has no aerospace fighters, but on such a large planet, the thousands of fighters carried by the Empire are like stones thrown into a lake.
The Alliance fighting on the home planet has air bases hidden underground everywhere on the planet, and tens of thousands of fighters appear and disappear, which makes the Imperial Air Force who wants to intercept very helpless.
"Sir, we have received an order from the General Command Center to cooperate with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Regiments to capture the city center. When the time comes, there will be space fighters to cover us." The adjutant on the side walked up to Monica and said.
Monica nodded: "All soldiers, form an attack formation, Mammoth leads the way, target the city center!"
Soldiers boarded their assigned vehicles one by one, and soldiers who did not get a vehicle trotted along the sides of the tanks and armored vehicles.
As the head of the regiment, Monica has her own special command vehicle. The command vehicle looks the same as other tanks, but the armor used is not of the same level, and the vehicle even has a miniaturized anti-gravity engine installed inside.
Monica frowned in the command vehicle. She had a feeling that the upcoming siege would not go so smoothly. It was terrible that she could not use orbital weapons. Even more than half of the air supremacy was in the hands of the enemy. It seemed that this landing battle would become a tug-of-war.
The convoy was driving on a wide road. The soldiers in the team would occasionally sweep their guns over the surrounding debris and ruins, but unexpectedly, they did not encounter any enemies along the way.
"Sir, the city center controlled by the Alliance is ahead."
Monica turned her eyes to the display beside her and saw a huge wall between the tall buildings in the distance!
This wall shocked her. What era is it that there are still people who would build walls in the city! It is so tall, it is estimated to be two hundred meters high.
"Stop! Launch drones to investigate." The convoy on the move received Monica's order.
Three drones in the stagnant convoy took off and flew towards the wall not far away.
Before approaching the city wall, three red lights shot out from the wall, burning the drone into a pile of scrap metal.
Monica was speechless. It seemed that this city wall was not just a decoration, but a serious defensive building.
She didn't know that Li Mingze, who was in the orbit of Amon Star, was also speechless. He didn't expect the Alliance to be so shameless. First, they hid a large number of energy crystals in the city, making the Empire afraid to use orbital weapons.
Then they built such a tall wall in the city. This turned the war into a medieval siege.
