Chapter 809： Battle of Phoenix (2)

When Tang Fang attacked Mubarak’s star system, Harrington Harris’s general mansion erected two electrical towers. They once dealt a heavy blow to the cockroaches that entered the mansion. The former is even higher, and the number is even more scary. It can be imagined how much pressure it will cause cockroaches and hungry people.

In desperation, they can only retract into the ground and use the buildings in the city as a cover to fight guerrilla warfare.

However, the 3rd Army is not so good. The most direct negative effect brought about by the operation of the attached tower is that the charging time of the natural disaster system is greatly extended.

Perhaps it was the endless fighting methods of the three tribes that gave Archimonde too heavy pressure. The military simply abandoned the natural disaster system and transferred the energy to the grid composed of auxiliary towers and the magnetic radar near the pyramid.

Like the natural disaster system, the core technology of the magnetic radar also comes from the armed forces of God. It has almost half the performance of the "Zaiangang" magnetic radar. This makes the ghost can no longer rely on invisible ability to infiltrate, and can only move on the edge of the city to create a small area. Riots to weaken Phoenix’s peripheral defenses.

The Tri-Clan Alliance expanded the scale of the war to Phoenix. The 3rd Army’s 1386 Armored Brigade and 1365 Armored Brigade have cut into the battlefield area from the two wings and outflanked the Tri-Clan Alliance from the rear according to the original plan.

At the same time, the combat aircraft of the two aviation brigades have entered the launch sequence. Only after the frontline forces have divided the battlefield, they can launch a full-scale attack, cooperate with the ground forces, and give a fatal blow to the tri-communal forces.

On the other side, two mechanized infantry brigades, one armored brigade, and one ranger regiment stationed on the main road leading to the outside world in the Dalaran Desert also came from further afield to form a second encircling net.

The appearance of the tunnel worms caused chaos in the east position, but the appearance of the buffer zone in front of the position also caused considerable chaos in the phalanx of impact tanks.

Perhaps it was a counterattack against the Burrow Swarm. A low and muffled roar came from the buffer zone in front of the trench position, and the sand on the edge of the crater rustled down, slowly filling the depression.

This is just the beginning, as the underground roar intensifies. The shaky sandy soil expanded from part to two waterfalls separated, exposing the central gully.

The entire buffer zone was shaking, the rumbling sound was dull and clear, and several huge pits that crisscross the battlefield appeared on the originally flat sand. Its depth is more than ten meters, and the innermost is a long spike.

In the current situation, Phoenix is ​​still equipped with such ancient fortifications, but it is undeniable that this is very effective. The drivers of the 16 impact tanks at the front of the raid had to step on the brakes to avoid falling into those huge ravines. .

Because the inertia is too large, the braking system cannot immediately let the car body stand still from movement, and the crawler belt pulls out a short but deep impression on the soft ground. It was just enough to stop.

Following the 16 impact tanks are 16 Immortals, followed by 8 siege tanks, and then 24 Goliath armed robots for air defense, and they must stop for intermittent bombing after a few steps. Thunder God, plus 8 war wolves to protect flanking threats.

The Thor driven by Howson had come down from the high ground, Churchill did not move, and there were two more laser drill tanks around him. The huge muzzle shot out a crimson beam of light. Together with the siege tanks behind, they carried out the large fort on the upper middle of the city wall. Fire suppression. At the same time, cooperate with the high-altitude guardians, the wandering fanatics, high-ranking templars, and the puppy to destroy the air defense facilities in Phoenix as much as possible to cover the air force from advancing.

The appearance of the pit separates the melee units such as the poisonous blast insects, puppies, and fire bats transmitted by the tunnel insects, and the nest insect clusters spread by the brood lord from the rear long-range firepower units, and the impact tank can only be sighed. Choose to stop the attack and switch to the second attack mode like a siege tank.

Unlike siege tanks, they do not have a robotic arm to stabilize the body. Only the front and rear tracks are stretched out, and then hooked down, and the turret rotates 180 degrees. Four 75MM plasma guns were off the assembly line, and the 180MM arc shock gun came on the line, throwing vortex bombs one after another at the few remaining armed vehicles at the core of the 2013 brigade position.

At the same time, the 8 siege tanks behind the Immortal also stopped advancing and switched from tank mode to siege mode. The 180MM plasma concussion cannon did not point to the front position or the tall steel wall, but turned left and right, towards Blue meteors shot out from the north and south directions of the battlefield.

Kehanor has not yet sunk into the West Mountain, but because of the aftereffects of the operation of the natural disaster system, the sky has been covered by thick clouds, the daylight is still there, but the sky is getting more obscure.

Plasma clusters fell on the other side of the horizon, and there was a colorful and brilliant rain of Mars, and the smoke was like a dragon, billowing, but it was quickly flooded by yellow sand in the sky. In the twisting light and shadow on the other side of the horizon, black shadows grew from small to large. , With the sound of a humming turbofan, quickly jumped out of the horizon. After this, it was a slightly swaying shadow, with the dust and the roar of the engine, straight into the location of the siege tank.

Not only was the armored group that broke into the battlefield in the south, but the northern horizon was also filled with yellow sand, and black shadows approached from far away. The roar of SA-20 Sea Harrier fighters came from both wings, and then they were entangled by the flying dragons flying high in the sky. Open up a battlefield on the ground in the northern sky.

Assault tanks and immortal are considered fast units, siege tanks and Goliath armed robots can be classified as medium speed, and Thor and Wolf Warriors behind are slow units.

The 1386th Armored Brigade and the 1365th Armored Brigade were inserted into the battlefield from the north and the south respectively. They were in accordance with Archimonde’s order to cut the connection between the human race and the light and heavy units of the Protoss mechanized unit, and divide the opponent. Surrounded, then eaten.

I have to say that such a deployment is very reasonable and ingenious. No matter how strong Tang's combat unit is, it is impossible to win this war with dozens of times its own strength under such an encirclement. Maybe they can break through, but Once you choose to break through, it means the defeat of the siege.

The yellow sand was rolling, and the artillery fire was like rain. While the armored vehicles in the north fired smoke bombs around, the missile launcher fired several missiles in succession, rushing towards the brood lord flying in the forefront of the battle array.

The South Gate Tank Group is far more arrogant than the 1365 Brigade’s Vanguard Armored Convoy. It is like an angry bull running over the ground with maximum horsepower, carrying yellow sand swaying southeast, towards the siege that is switching the tank mode. The tank ejected flame after flame.

The barrel trembled, and the flames were full and converging. With the ups and downs of the chassis, the Pioneer Tank Battalion of the 1386th Brigade has penetrated into the core of the human mechanized force front, intersecting the flow of chariots from the north, and dividing the long-long assault line into two.

The melee troops composed of puppies, poisonous bombers, brood lords, and fire bats are separated from the shock tanks and the immortal queues by the buffer zone. Now the 1386th Armored Brigade and the 1365th Armored Brigade have cut off the mechanized unit formation, and the entire ground battlefield has been completely cut into several small theaters.

After the forces of the two armored brigade vanguard battalions separated the Immortal and the Goliath armed robots, the main forces that followed were deployed to the left and right. According to the original plan, the mechanized troops of the human and gods were wrapped in the center of the battle group.

With the arrival of subsequent armed vehicles. Some experimental weapons were also sent to the battlefield.

At the rear of the battle formation of the 1386th Armored Brigade, an air-cushioned chariot squad equipped with 6 high-power suspension mounts, 1 140MM howitzer, and 2 sets of missile bays rushed to Thor’s location at an extremely fast speed, using its powerful maneuverability to avoid Shooting with the Wolf Railgun, the cannonballs and rockets were poured onto Thor’s huge body, leaving a deeper mark on the already riddled composite armor, converging with the laser beam from the direction of Phoenix. A little bit the defensive power of Thor.

At the rear of the 1365th Armored Brigade, several artillery vehicles were arranged, and large warheads flew into the sky. Draw a non-rounded, somewhat sharp parabola, with a whistling noise, and insert it into the ground near the area where the Goliath armed robot is located, directly submerging into the depth of the soil, and then there is no movement.

This does not mean that they are duds. In fact, these things that can penetrate into the ground are not bombs at all, but a resonator. As time goes by, the ground in the area where the Goliath armed robot is located begins to shake violently. There were even cracks in the place where the drill hit the soil, and the yellow sand poured into the ground like running water, but it still couldn't stop the black line on the ground from spreading to the center.

The 1386th Armored Brigade and the 1365th Armored Brigade took out their special weapons, as did the 2013 Mechanized Infantry Brigade. It was only because Archimond ordered the 2013 brigade commander to exercise restraint that he never appeared on the battlefield.

Gates appeared on the inner wall of the huge pit that was originally used to isolate the attack tank from the human and Zerg troops. A soldier equipped with a special type of power armor slid out from the inside, jumped directly out of the pit, and jumped onto the position where the attack tank was located. Two hands threw a sticky substance. Attached to vulnerable parts such as the track, upper cover, and barrel of the impact tank.

Different from the general pilgrim-class power armor, this special type of power armor is similar to the Sulu Empire silver steel power armor that Tang Fang had seen in Nami Star, and has a certain flying ability...no, to be precise, it is a jumping device The gliding system formed with the version of the vector thruster, to some extent, is almost comparable to the mobility of the **** of death.

Of course, to Tang Fang, the Reaper is just a cheap biochemical unit, but for the 2013 brigade, this special combat unit named "Rander" is an upgraded weapon with the "Regrets of War" and Fei. Treasure combat units like hovercraft.

The latter two types of armed vehicles are cherished because they are expensive, but the former ranger cherishes the driver, because only a very small number of people with excellent athletic performance and coordination ability can adapt to the ranger's power armor and become an excellent special force. .

Although the military scientific research department has been actively improving the gliding system of the "Randerer" to reduce the physical requirements of soldiers, the progress has been slow, because Mr. J does not think that such research can bring about the military strength of the Turanx United Kingdom. A qualitative leap, after all, in this era of great navigation, the development of more powerful warships is king.

Including the Rangers, the Ares Missiles, and the upgraded armed hovercraft, they are all army weapons developed by Professor Airal and his research team with the support of Archimonde.

In fact, even Willie Smidt held a negative attitude towards Archimonde's reduction of military expenditures and the saving of funds for the research and development of army weapons. Facts have proved that whether it is a parade, a **** of war, or an upgraded armed hovercraft, they all have good actual combat value, and at least they can have a lot of negative impact on the mechanized units of the human race.

The speed of the turret of the impact tank cannot keep up with the movement speed of the cruisers. Even if the 180MM arc shock gun is put away, it cannot pose too much threat to them. On the contrary, as the sticky materials they throw out stick to the armor surface more and more, The light-alloy cast body made a rattling noise, showing signs of disintegration.

Not only that. The driver who hit the tank began to experience slight nausea, dizziness, and unresponsiveness, which greatly reduced the combat effectiveness.

There is no doubt that the sticky substance thrown by the Ranger is a resonance weapon similar to the God of War missile. It can cause harm to metal products and even the human body.

Mr. J is a technical adviser to His Majesty the King, who is respected and trusted by members of the royal family, but in Archimonde’s view, Airal is the real genius. Because he not only perfected the natural disaster system, but also got inspiration from the technical information provided by Mr. J, and developed a more practical resonance weapon, which was used in individual-level confrontations, rather than just creating a lightning storm.

On the positions outside the city wall, the attack sequence consisting of puppies, fire bats, poisonous blasters, and broodworms lacked artillery cover. The dense defense facilities on the wall and the resistance of the 2013 mechanized infantry brigade, regardless of casualties, appeared to a certain extent. Combat attrition,

If there are no nest insects to attract firepower in front. The casualties may be more serious.

Because of the joining of the two armored brigade aviation combat units, the air force constructed by Viking fighters, flying dragons, and explosive mosquitoes was dispersed, and Goliath armed robots and war wolves were also dragged by the forces of the 1386th armored brigade and the 1365th armored brigade. For a while, I can’t get my hands to clean up the coalition composed of S-A20 Sea Harrier fighters, Elsa gunships, Hurricane armed shuttles, and Saints attack drones. The remaining combat units of the 2 aviation brigade that have lost a lot of pressure are flown from within Phoenix. Beginning, rushed to the frontline battlefield, cooperated with the ground units, and encircled the air forces of the human, insect and **** tribes.

Some of these hurricane fighters are equipped with new ground-piercing bombs to deal with the tunnel worms on the periphery of the east position in order to fundamentally cut off the retreat and reinforcement of the human and worm melee units.

Those tunnel bugs are too big. With a building as high as a building, even a powerful artillery with a caliber of 1000 mm at the top of the city wall would be difficult to destroy and wound it at most. Then he retracted into the ground to cultivate for a while, and then drilled out from another place a few minutes later, it was really helpless and maddening.

The staff of the power grid system hoped that they could enter the city and let the big guys taste the taste of electric torture, but they seemed to know that the hundreds of meters high electrical towers in the city were not easy to mess with, and they only moved outside the city. Being outside the attack range of the electric tower makes some people hate it, but they can only sigh.

The main forces of the 2 aviation brigades were all out. After the 340th Fire Brigade and the 765th Artillery Brigade retreated to the densely covered area of ​​the electric tower, their long-range weapons were lined up facing the east. All types of missiles were fired at no cost, and the latter came first. One step faster, the combat aircraft landed on the battlefield more than ten kilometers on the front line, drawing slow units such as Thor, King Insect, Brood Lord, and Siege Tank into the explosion range.

2 reinforced armored brigades, 1 reinforced mechanized infantry brigade, 2 aviation brigades, 1 fire brigade, 1 artillery brigade, plus urban defense brigade, guard regiments, and special warfare robot brigades. Surrounded by troops of human, insect, and god.

Not to mention that 100 kilometers away, there are two mechanized infantry brigades, one armored brigade, and one ranger regiment are coming at the fastest speed.

When a large number of hurricane armed shuttles and Elsa gunships entered the east position of the air brigade, four tunnel bugs were still vomiting puppies, poisonous bombers, fire bats and other melee units, bringing the infantry of the 2013 brigade. The position was compressed again and again, occupying almost 70% of the trenches, leaving only the core line where the armed vehicles were located. Because of the direct exposure to the city defense facilities, the firepower was too fierce there was no way to break through quickly.

The arrival of the air force brought a turn for the tug-of-war in the position area. Of course, it was a good thing for the 2013 brigade, and it was a very heavy blow to the close combat troops of the Human and Zerg clan. Because whether it is a puppy, a poisonous bomber, a fire bat, or a brood lord, it is a melee unit, and it is difficult to attack enemies from the air. Viking fighters, flying dragons, Goliath armed robots, war wolves, and Thor This combat unit equipped with anti-aircraft firepower is divided and surrounded by two armored brigades of 1386 and 1365, which are divided and surrounded by weak points of the battle array.

The scale of victory began to tilt towards the 3rd Army.

As the person in charge of the Phoenix Theater, Archimonde is undoubtedly a very qualified commander. Using the 2013 Mechanized Infantry Brigade as a bait, he cooperated with trench positions and urban defense facilities to drag the tribal ground units, and then used sinkholes to block them. The armored brigade is divided and encircled by the tactics of inserting two wings to deal with the gap in individual combat effectiveness by covering firepower.

He knows his own weakness and the enemy's strengths, and then reduces the gap between the enemy and our unit's combat power through the environment, formation, and tactical arrangements, defeating absolute quality by absolute quantity. (To be continued.)
