2758, Dantooine Meat Grinder(五)

At the same time that General Maximilian-Vels was directing his army to counterattack the Southern Highlands, he was about 50 kilometers behind the Southern Highlands.

Night has fallen on this hemisphere, and due to the blackout, no lights can be seen at all. On this cloudy night, it is almost impossible to see.

However, in this darkness, there were some slight sounds in the air, which you couldn't hear if you didn't listen carefully.

Black shadows flew past less than ten meters from the ground. These black shadows were extremely fast. Even though they were flying almost close to the ground, they did not hit any obstacles at all.

Justin-Levis is one of these black shadows-yes, these black shadows flying close to the ground are all a special combat unit of the Fourth Legion, Vulture Company.

Every member of Vulture Company is the most elite candidate among the Fourth Legion. At the same time, they must have strong spatial perception talent and dynamic vision before they can be selected.

After being selected, they all received targeted modifications. Chips were implanted in the outer cortex of the brain, and their retinas were also modified to have more powerful dynamic vision and three-dimensional spatial perception.

This makes their bodies that have been transformed and trained to the Superman level further become inhuman, but only in this way can they adapt to this new type of equipment.

Vulture flight mecha!

This is the latest individual mecha developed by Kingdom of Dawn's genius scientist Dr. Otto Gunther Ostavius. This mecha uses a combination of silent engine and bionic mechanical wings to achieve near-silent aerial maneuvers.

There are two models of this kind of mecha. One is Normal Class, which can be understood as a more flexible and faster flying equipment. Similar equipment can also be found in other places, such as the Mandalorian jetpack. This version is relatively simple to control, but it cannot be compared with Elite Class in terms of speed, maneuverability or stealth performance.

Elite Class's Vulture flight mecha is a very terrifying piece of equipment! This piece of equipment is the result of Dr. Ostavis's great efforts. Its controllability, speed and flexibility are all several times that of Normal Class! The maximum speed can even reach Mach 0.95!

It can still maintain silence and controllability at such a speed, which can be described as incredible.

But at the same time, in order to control such equipment, only those who have undergone enhanced transformation and are extremely talented can do it.

Even in the Fourth Legion, a place where monsters are rampant, only more than 500 people were selected in the end, and then after multiple rounds of elimination, 200 of them were retained.

Justin-Levis is one of them...

Originally, he was already the highest Commander of the Fourth Legion, but after discovering through testing that he had such a talent, he resolutely joined Vulture Company and became an ordinary member. He longed to feel the pulse of war at the forefront, and only in this way could his already cold blood boil again.

Compared to fighting and killing on the frontline battlefield, sitting in an office strategizing? It would be better to kill him.

The mission of Vulture Company is to use the terrifying mobility of Vulture flight mecha to carry out penetration and attack missions behind enemy lines. For example, now - Justin-Levis's goal is an energy supply center established by the Galactic Empire.

The current ground battlefield shape on Dantooine basically revolves around Mobile Deflector Shield, so energy supply is the top priority.

In order to meet the huge energy consumption of Deflector Shield, both warring parties have thought of various ways. Such as remote power transmission systems, such as flexibly replaceable shield capacitors, such as ultra-large-capacity ultra-high-voltage energy storage devices, etc. But the most stable energy supply is still the continuous output of fixed bases.

Under the Galactic Empire's position, deep energy pipelines are basically buried, allowing Mobile Deflector Shield to charge at any time. Only when it needs to be moved, it will be temporarily disconnected, and the connection and charging will be turned off and then quickly switched to the energy storage device drive.

Therefore, as long as these Energy Center are destroyed, the energy supply of the Galactic Empire and Deflector Shield positions can be paralyzed, thereby creating more fighters for our own side.

Vulture Company's previous mission was to cooperate with the attack in the Southern Highlands, but Huang Yehao and his team made very smooth progress. Apart from helping him at the last moment, Vulture Company did not need to appear at all. So after the Southern Highlands were occupied, according to the command's order, Vulture Company continued to launch sneak attacks on the rear of the Galactic Empire front under the cover of night.

Under the full-coverage helmets, Justin-Levis's eyes were cold and indifferent. Fourth Legion's soldiers were basically used to killing. For them, no matter how large or brutal the killings were, they would not have any psychological fluctuations.

It was dark in front of them, and they could not see anything at high speed. Under such circumstances, they could only rely on the terrain cues provided by the instruments and equipment to fly.

Ten meters above the ground, Mach 0.95, complex terrain... everything is a hell of a difficulty.

There was a small alarm sound in their ears, and they were close to the target.

Without any words, the speed of all Vulture Company soldiers suddenly slowed down, and their flying altitude also further decreased. Vulture flight mecha did not install a stealth system and relied on flying at ultra-low altitude and high speed to avoid radar detection. The flight trajectory closely followed the undulations of the ground surface, using valleys and rock formations to block signals.

In other words, as long as the distance is close enough and the the Empire defenders are careful enough, they will still be discovered.

Justin-Levis took a long breath and calculated the distance and direction. At this moment, a siren suddenly sounded in the darkness ahead, and countless lights illuminated the sky instantly. At the same time, some automatic air defense systems had begun to fire!

Vulture Company all dispersed in an instant. They remained calm in the face of danger. Even if they were discovered, they did not blindly increase their speed. Instead, they continued to maintain this speed and just flew out complex trajectories in the air.

In the night, a light blue light curtain loomed, but this Deflector Shield was only a hundred meters away from them!

In an instant, the Vulture Company soldiers rushed into the shield range, and then they immediately took out their weapons and opened fire. The condescending firepower was very accurate even when flying at high speed. The the Empire soldiers running around on the ground were killed one by one, and the entire Energy Center was in chaos!

The soldiers of Vulture Company are not equipped with heavy weapons. They all hold two M-6 executioner-style pistols in their hands, which have fast firing rate, high accuracy, strong penetrating power, and are light enough.

They bypassed the turrets and offensives on the ground, circling rapidly in the air as if they were really more than 200 hunting Vultures, constantly harvesting the lives of the Empire soldiers.

In just over ten minutes, they killed hundreds of the Empire Stormtrooper, making this Energy Center increasingly chaotic.

Justin-Levis quickly approached the central reactor with more than a dozen soldiers. He retracted his mechanical wings and landed on the ground. At the same time, the other soldiers each took out a part from their small backpack and threw it to him.

Justin-Levis has very flexible hands. He can pick it up with one hand and install it with the other hand. Soon, a large Proton Bomb with a diameter of nearly one meter began to take shape!

That's right, it was the Proton Bomb that Huang Yehao used to blow up the AT-AT walker! However, the Proton Bomb used by Vulture Company was larger and more powerful! In order to maintain the maneuverability of the flying mecha, they split the bomb into more than ten parts and were carried by more than ten people respectively.

Only the elite among the elite like Fourth Legion and Vulture Company can make such a plan that has almost no room for error!

While Justin-Levis were installing bombs, other Vulture Company soldiers continued to kill Energy Center, preventing the Empire soldiers from going to the reactor for reinforcements.

The reactor was built underground, but Justin-Levis directly installed the Proton Bomb in one of the heat dissipation pipes. This bomb had enough power to directly penetrate dozens of meters of ground and completely destroy the reactor!

After the bomb was deployed, Justin-Levis nodded slightly, and the mechanical wings instantly unfolded, soared into the sky, and dispersed in all directions together with the other Vulture Company warriors, quickly disappearing into the night.

Proton Bomb detonated, and the light blue proton cloud appeared instantly, and then began to collapse inward. During this process, the destructive energy began to penetrate deep into the ground through the heat dissipation pipes. When the collapse reached the extreme, it suddenly exploded! Only a huge hemisphere was seen instantly arched on the hardened ground, and then countless flames and Shale erupted directly!

The pillar of fire lit up the night sky, and Kingdom of Dawn Air Force, who had been hovering in the distance for a long time, immediately rushed over and carried out further bombing of the base!

What is now before General Maximilian-Vels is such an extremely bad battle report.

The southern highlands fell, the counterattack failed, and Energy Center was destroyed... This gave General Vels an ominous premonition.

Galactic Empire once planned to use Mobile Deflector Shield's steady and steady tactics to drag Kingdom of Dawn into the "energy showdown" and "capacity showdown", and they did succeed.

It has always been difficult for Kingdom of Dawn to make breakthroughs on the frontal battlefield, and Abyss had to fall into positional warfare and trench warfare.

But now, it seems that Kingdom of Dawn is adapting to the Galactic Empire's tactics and starting to achieve more results in their own way.

It is a very bad omen to have two positions captured in a row within one day.

Kingdom of Dawn used elite soldiers to open up the situation, and then used airdropped Modular Buildings to quickly stabilize the front. Now with the addition of the ghostly flying troops, Generals Maximilian-Vels had to put away all thoughts of counterattack.

He sent the battle report here back to the headquarters, stating that it was necessary to establish a more stable and comprehensive front, and then launch an all-out attack to offset Kingdom of Dawn's mobility advantage.

His request was granted.

In the direction of the Palin-Minor planet, an endless stream of transport fleets set sail, heading towards Dantooine, and established advance bases in the three nearby galaxies.

These bases are equipped with powerful fleet defenses. Anyway, as long as the fleet is not sent to the front line for a decisive battle, Dunn-Vesex still agrees to the task of defending from their own rear.

The forward bases are equipped with very complete logistics supply facilities, including large-scale barracks, medical facilities, entertainment facilities, etc. Millions of troops began to gather in these forward bases, and then continued to transport towards the battlefield of Dantooine.

Dunn-Vesex is to continue to expand the scale of Dantooine's war and drag Kingdom of Dawn into this meat grinder!

This battle was first launched by Kingdom of Dawn, but the situation kept changing. Now, it is Galactic Empire who uses this battlefield to consume Kingdom of Dawn!

But it's sad to think about it, because these huge resources and the lives of millions of soldiers are just chips for Dunn-Vesex to ensure the absolute safety of his home planet Palin-Minor.

In the distant sky, dots of firelight continued to fall. They were Galactic Empire transport ships in an endless stream, transporting troops and supplies to their rear.

And according to the investigation of the Intelligence Department gate, among the spaceships reinforced by the Galactic Empire, there are more than ten industrial spacecrafts. After these industrial spacecrafts landed, they became modern arsenals!

Huang Yehao looked into the distance with a telescope, but his eyes were still cold.

For him, no matter how many people Galactic Empire come, he has only one word - kill. Keep killing until he is killed.

After joining Fourth Legion, the passionate warrior he once was has long since disappeared.

However, regarding the following tactical considerations, Galactic Empire's large-scale troop increase does need to be worried. Huang Yehao turned back to several comrades beside him and said, "Send scouts to investigate and determine the location of Imperial army's landing site. Then let Staff Department formulate a strategy to see if they can launch a surprise attack and destroy their landing site."

"There is a plan, but we are not executing it." The signal soldier turned around and said, "It is Justin-Levis who are preparing to launch a sneak attack on a space port tomorrow. The current task given to us by the superiors is to hold the position firmly."

"How to say?" Huang Yehao asked.

"General Dai Hongkui means that Galactic Empire will increase the number of troops, and we will respond accordingly," the communications soldier said.

"If this is the case, I hope people like Galactic Empire will not disappoint me." Huang Yehao said lightly, turning back and continuing to stare at the distant sky.

[There is still one month left.] During the holographic projection, Kingdom of Dawn Chief of Staff Qi Jian said very seriously.

"One month? What are your plans?" General Dai Hongkui asked.

[The mission of the Army is to cooperate with the Galactic Empire's actions and continuously expand the scale of the campaign. One month later, it will be the time to bring this campaign to an end!] Qi Jian said, [The result depends on the Army's performance this month.]
