Chapter 65: Wall Breaking Operation
"Mammoth! Aim at the city wall and fire!" Monica ordered.
The mammoth tanks in the queue raised their gun barrels and aimed at the tall city wall. The sound of firing sounded neatly, and metal bullets were accelerated into liquid and flew towards the city wall.
A huge crash sounded, and dozens of ten-centimeter-deep pits appeared on the distant city wall, but compared with its thickness of tens of meters, they were so insignificant.
"Stop shooting!" Monica estimated that her convoy could only make a larger hole after firing all the shells. Not only would the mammoth without ammunition be scrapped after the hole was made, but she was also worried that it would collapse after passing through the hole.
At this moment, dozens of light spots flew over from the distant city wall and hit the convoy in the blink of an eye. The mammoth tanks were fine, and they used their armor to withstand the attack.
But the Wolf Spider armored vehicles and ordinary infantry without heavy armor were unlucky. The armored vehicles were hit into deformed discus by the shells carrying huge kinetic energy, and the soldiers hit by the shells turned into debris.
Monica wiped off the dark green blood that splashed on her face: "Everyone disperse and retreat, armored vehicles and tanks reverse at full speed!" After saying that, she also began to run backwards at a high speed.
Ten minutes later, Monica, hiding behind the ruins of a building, couldn't help but fall into deep thought, how to break through the enemy's defense line.
"Squeak, I'm Li Mingze, the first regiment is starting to go to the crash site of the A00231 transport ship." Li Mingze's voice came from the communicator.
Monica's eyes lit up when she heard it. Smart people understand it at once. With just one sentence, Monica understood what Li Mingze meant.
The crashed transport ship only damaged the vertical thrust engine used in the atmosphere, but the rear thruster was intact!
With the huge size of the transport ship, it is completely possible to knock down the city wall!
Tens of minutes later, the first regiment of the airborne army quickly came to the crashed transport ship. Looking at the slightly deformed transport ship, it really makes people doubt whether it can start.
Several soldiers entered the transport ship with rifles and soon came to the transport ship's cockpit.
The door of the cockpit has been pried open. It seems that the driver has been rescued by the rescue team. After all, these drivers are of Sith descent (human), and the Empire will not abandon them. For the Sith Empire, which is short of people, every citizen is a precious treasure.
Several people came to the driver's seat and pressed the switch twice. The lights in the transport ship gradually lit up, and the monitors in front of several people also lit up.
"Report to the commander, the transport ship can be started!" Monica received a message from her subordinates soon.
"All mammoths and wolf spiders, attach the traction lock to the left side of the transport ship." Because the transport ship is not sliding towards the city wall, it must be turned over first.
One soldier attached the magnetic traction lock to the armor of the transport ship.
As the thruster on the right side of the transport ship used to adjust its posture sprayed blue flames, a group of mammoth tanks and wolf spider armored vehicles also drove forward at full power.
The huge transport ship slowly rotated to the left under the combined force of both sides.
"It's OK!" Monica shouted to stop.
The transport ship had been towed 90 degrees, with its bow pointed at the distant city wall.
After the magnetic traction lock was removed from the transport ship, the engine at the rear of the transport ship began to violently spray blue flames, and several figures jumped off the transport ship in a hurry.
The transport ship began to slowly accelerate, and the speed was getting faster and faster! The heavy ship body crushed all the wreckage of the building that blocked it into powder.
The transport ship rushed towards the huge city wall with an unstoppable momentum.
On the Alliance city wall
The sergeant pointed at the ramming transport ship anxiously and shouted: "Fire! Concentrate fire to make it stop!"
One after another, the rail guns bombarded the armor of the transport ship. Although the huge penetrating power of the shells penetrated the armor of the transport ship, it did not have the expected effect. The transport ship still quickly crashed into the city wall.
With a loud bang, a huge vibration came along the ground, and Monica and others shook slightly.
The city wall in the distance was blocked by the dust produced by the collision, and the current situation could not be seen clearly. Did it crash into it? Monica frowned slightly.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the smoke and dust to dissipate. After a few minutes, the dust that blocked the view finally dissipated, revealing the scene inside.
The towering city wall was hit by the transport ship and was about to collapse. The section of the city wall that was hit had tilted back slightly, and huge cracks were all over the surface.
"Damn it! It didn't fall!" Monica slammed her fist and said to herself fiercely.
As soon as the voice fell, the propeller of the transport ship that had stopped suddenly spurted out flames again. This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The huge towering city wall was pushed down by the transport ship.
The transport ship, which had lost its obstacles, pushed the fragments of the city wall forward for hundreds of meters, and then the propeller at the tail emitted a puff of black smoke and completely went silent.
Li Mingze, who watched the whole process from the orbit, waved his hand, and the three transport ships were set to be unmanned and hit the city walls in the other three directions.
A large number of imperial troops poured into the city from four gaps, but they encountered fierce attacks from the alliance army as soon as they entered.
Bullets flew across the battlefield, countless metal bullets streaked across the sky, hitting the armored vehicles and tanks on the battlefield with bangs, and the surrounding building bunkers were also shot into dust.
A soldier suddenly pressed Monica to the ground, dodging a missile. The fire from the missile exploding not far away made Monica's face pale. If she hadn't been rescued by her subordinates, she would have died without a burial place!
"Sir, you should command outside the city wall. Don't come to such a dangerous front in person!" After saying that, he raised his head to observe the battle situation.
As soon as his head came out of the bunker, a flying bullet deformed his visor. A piece of flying debris easily penetrated the visor that had lost its protective ability and knocked the soldier to the ground.
Monica had tears in her eyes. Although the Empire did not regard these orbital airborne troops as soldiers, they were all her subordinates and her partners to Monica, not to mention that this person just saved her life.
The mammoth aimed at the enemy's bunker and let out two huge roars. Two fist-sized metal projectiles hit the bunker where the alliance soldiers were hiding.
The fragile bunker was hit back into countless fragments by the shells before it could even last half a second. The soldiers hiding behind had their armor torn and exploded into a pile of blood mist.
"Fire coverage! Don't save ammunition!" Monica shouted loudly.
The Mammoth, which originally only fired when it was sure that there were enemies hiding, began to vent its anger at all suspicious buildings. As long as it felt that a building might hide people, it would be reduced to ashes with one shot.
As expected, after adopting this tactic, everyone's pressure was greatly reduced. Many Alliance soldiers hiding in bunkers were blasted into powder before they fired a single bullet.
