Chapter 694 Ground Battle

The beams fired from the space station were just as the Imperial Fleet had expected. The damage caused by a salvo did not even break the dimensional armor of the warship in the front.

After the attacked warship attacked, it aimed all the weapons on the ship at the space station.

A series of antimatter shells and missiles hit the orbital building with a diameter of tens of kilometers like a storm.

The violent explosion directly tore it into dozens of pieces. The huge wreckage of the space station began to float around, and some wreckage fell directly into the atmosphere.

The orbital elevator at the center of the space station suddenly broke after being tense for a while, and the entire elevator began to fall to the ground.

The people on the ground looked up at the sky in horror. The slender body of the towering tower that originally stood in the middle of the plain began to break into several sections in the middle and fell into the surrounding cities.

Although the material quality of the orbital elevator was very low, it still produced great destructive power under the action of gravity acceleration.

This elevator was like a long knife falling from the sky, splitting all the buildings where it fell!

Before the dust stirred up by the elevator's collapse had settled, 20,000 captured warships had already passed through the atmosphere and arrived inside the atmosphere.

The entire sky was covered by the warships of the Imperial Fleet. The ship-borne guns below the warships that blocked out the sky were still firing continuously, directly bombing one defense point after another on the ground into ruins.

After clearing the fortifications on the ground, these warships began to look for flat terrain to land.

Before these warships had stopped, two million clone soldiers and 200,000 mecha tanks rushed out of the warships' cabins.

As soon as the mechanical legs of the armored vehicles touched the ground, the turrets on the tanks began to fire wildly at all suspicious locations around.

Regardless of whether there were civilians or enemy soldiers in these buildings, all dangerous buildings that might threaten the Imperial forces were named one by one by the electromagnetic railguns of the tanks.

After being hit by the railguns, the buildings collapsed directly into ruins, which also greatly broadened the vision of the Imperial forces.

"All troops advance radially in all directions!" The commander of the Imperial Clone Corps looked at the holographic screen in front of him and commanded the ground troops in a deep voice.

The 20,000 warships captured by the Empire took off again after unloading all the landing troops, and quickly returned to orbit under the propulsion of the flames behind them.

Their mission was not to support the battlefield, but to return to the Empire's forward base and pick up the second batch of troops.

Because of the design of these warships, each warship can only carry 100 clone soldiers and 10 mecha tanks at a time.

After exceeding this limit, not only is there no space in the cargo hold, but there is no place for the extra soldiers to rest.

After the warships withdrew, the Imperial troops on the ground lost their cover from orbit.

The 10,000 unmanned Zeus-class warships of the Imperial Fleet continued to attack the next star system. They tried to attack more colonies and let the Spiral Federation be distracted by these planets.

A few days later, on the planet where the Imperial troops landed, the sky was illuminated by the artillery fire from the tanks.

After several days of high-intensity fighting, the Imperial troops had pushed the offensive line more than 100 kilometers.

All enemy troops that confronted the Imperial forces were defeated.

If the enemy had not reacted, dispatched the entire planet's troops to this line of defense, and used heavy artillery to cover the fire, it is estimated that the Imperial troops would have advanced thousands of kilometers away.

"Attention! The enemy's heavy artillery coverage is coming again!" An observer shouted to the communicator hurriedly after discovering the artillery shells rising into the air around him through radar.

The Imperial clone soldiers on the battlefield immediately and skillfully got under the Imperial mecha tank and squatted down with both hands to protect their heads.

The armored vehicle also raised all its weapons and slightly lowered the height of the vehicle, and the eight mechanical legs were firmly inserted into the soil.

At this time, dense whistling sounds were heard in the sky, and hundreds of thousands of shells were covered from the sky with flames.

"Close-in defense system activated, main artillery interceptor missiles fired!" The commander of the clone army ordered decisively.

The four heavy rail guns of the mecha tank suddenly fired four interceptor missiles into the air.

These interceptors shattered into dozens of small sub-warheads in the air, and these sub-warheads were also filled with warheads.

When the enemy's shells met these sub-warheads, the sub-warheads exploded instantly, blowing these shells to pieces in the air!

However, some of them still escaped the interceptor and hit the mecha tanks on the ground.

At this time, the close-in defense guns on the tanks began to work, and the shells were mixed with lasers to sweep the shells in the air.

This part of the shells that could directly hit the top of the tank or nearby finally disappeared under multiple interceptions.

But at this time, the shells that were not intercepted in time hit the open space outside the Imperial tank.

The moment the shells exploded, a huge impact force was formed, mixed with stones and metal fragments on the ground and swept around.

At this time, the armored vehicle suddenly unfolded its shield, protecting itself and the Imperial clone soldiers hiding under the tank.

The dust brought by the shock wave generated by the explosion instantly submerged these armored vehicles, and the entire battlefield was covered with dust.

At this time, the Spiral Federation forces seized the opportunity and immediately fired a second round of heavy artillery.

The shells whizzed down from the sky again. At this time, the radar scanning system of the Imperial mecha tank was seriously affected by the flying dust and metal chips! It was impossible to accurately scan these falling shells.

The main gun on the tank fired interception shells again, and all the weapons on the tank fired aimlessly into the air.

However, the effect of interception this time was greatly reduced, because it was impossible to scan the exact landing point of these shells, all interceptions were based on luck!

This time the luck of the Imperial troops was much worse, and the falling shells accurately hit thousands of Imperial armored vehicles.

The explosion caused by these shells instantly tore the armor of the Imperial mecha tank, and then lifted the armor on the top of the tank, and the entire tank was blown into scrap metal!

Fortunately, the Imperial clone soldiers hiding under the tank survived. Although their armor was severely damaged, they were still able to continue fighting.

This wave of heavy artillery bombardment successfully caused a large number of casualties in the Imperial troops, but correspondingly, the opponent also exposed the location where their heavy artillery was hidden.

"We have reversely deduced all the coordinates of the enemy's artillery, and launched the termination missile!" With a roar from the radar operator of the mecha tank, a circular armor in the middle of the four turrets of all the mecha tanks suddenly opened to both sides.
