Chapter 1638 Flames of War
Clusters of flames fell from the sky like falling stars.
When those murderous-looking landing craft appeared over Tiangong City, dragging faint blue arcs, everyone who looked up at the dome opened their eyes wide, attracted by the gorgeous flames. attention.
The same question echoed in everyone's heart.
What is that flame?
Observation deck of the central tower.
On this landmark building closest to the center of the dome, tourists who didn't notice anything unusual were pointing at the flickering light in the sky.
"what is that?"
"Probably a shooting star..."
"There seems to be more than one! They are flying towards us!"
"Damn it! Where's our city defense system? What are those militiamen doing! They let meteorites pass over the space station!"
"Something's wrong, those things don't look like shooting stars..."
"what is that?"
"It seems to be an orbital airborne brigade... Do you remember the Alpha virus incident? When I traveled to Guanghan City last year, I happened to encounter a bionic rebellion. I was lucky enough to see it once..."
Just when people's attention was gradually captured by the light spots that appeared in the sky, the militia organization loyal to the city hall had already responded immediately.
The city defense system at the edge of Tiangong City was activated, and as the alloy baffle buried under the sand dunes moved sideways, the near-air electromagnetic gun was slowly pushed up to the surface.
However, before the thick solid plasma filled the gun bore, the electromagnetic gun barrels pointing to the sky were torn into pieces by the mass bullets falling from the sky.
The firepower of the three rounds of naval gun salvo fell like raindrops, completely destroying the city defense system deployed outside Tiangong City.
In fact, this can't be blamed on the incompetence of Tiangong City's militia, mainly because this city defense system itself is prepared to destroy large meteorites. Facing the suppression of the cruiser-level firepower of the Qinling, this kind of close-in defense gun with a range that can't reach the orbit is simply a kill.
Almost without any effective resistance, the landing craft of the 3rd Orbital Airborne Brigade quickly deployed behind the sand dunes on the east side of Tiangong City with lightning speed.
Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Li Gaoliang, a group of marine soldiers armed to the teeth with exoskeleton armor filed out of the landing craft and attacked Tiangong City under the cover of small drones.
The war is about to start!
The militia organization that arrived in a hurry tried to counterattack by taking advantage of the terrain and fortifications. However, in the face of the ferocious firepower of the 3rd Orbital Airborne Brigade, they were still beaten and had no power to fight back.
Even if they had the support of heavy weapons like electromagnetic tanks, they couldn't regain the slightest advantage in the hand-to-hand combat.
The gap between the two sides is more than a little bit.
Whether it's training or morale!
At the same time, the streets of Tiangong City were completely in chaos. Although the flames of war have not reached here yet, everyone knows that it will happen sooner or later.
If half a minute ago there were people who naively thought that the falling rays of light were meteors or other natural phenomena, then almost no one would think so now.
Whether it's the sporadic flames, the rain of bullets passing through the traffic pipeline, or the barricades that were overturned on the road, they all tell the same thing——
That is war!
To be honest, most people are at a loss for this sudden war.
Even those supporters of separatism never imagined that this day would come so soon, and so suddenly, that there was not even a little time left for them to prepare.
According to the normal process, they should first show the "criminal evidence" of Pan-Asian cooperation on TV, then take a few sly photos, and finally mobilize citizens to join the army on the grounds that Pan-Asian cooperation is trying to ban the colonial tradition of self-government...
However, all these steps seemed to have been omitted. Five minutes ago, their mayor had drafted a "Declaration of Independence", and then announced that Tiangong City had entered a wartime state, and at the same time officially declared war on the suzerain country.
just like……
It's the same idea that I came up with when I patted my head.
An underground air-raid shelter in the residential area of Tiangong City.
This bunker, which was originally used to avoid natural disasters such as meteorites, has now been opened to accommodate nearby citizens. No one thought that one day, this place would be used as a safe area to escape from the flames of war.
Less than ten minutes after the landing of the Orbital Airborne Brigade, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the air-raid shelter.
The sound of guns in the distance urged the team to move forward. Everyone's face was full of expressions of shock and fear, and they looked around nervously, fearing that stray bullets would fly here.
"Are we... independent?"
"It seems to be like this... so what do we have to call it? The Mars Alliance?"
"Damn... What the hell happened these few days? Didn't everyone be fine yesterday? Why did they suddenly start a fight! I'm going back to Jinling in two days, why did you let me get involved in this stupid farce! "
"Crazy, just crazy!"
It wasn't just the streets of Tiangong City that were in chaos, but also the city hall located in the central area of Tiangong City.
In less than thirty seconds, the city defense system around Tiangong City was destroyed in an instant, before even a shell could be fired, it was torn to pieces by the naval guns in the sky.
Before they even had time to open a bottle of champagne and cheer for breaking away from Pan-Asian cooperation, they had to face a cruel reality——
They were facing the 3rd Orbital Airborne Brigade!
The ace of the Pan-Asian Air and Air Marines!
"Damn...where did those guys come from!" He slapped his hands on the table fiercely, looking at the constantly falling areas on the holographic map, his face was full of tension.
The continuous casualties have caused the morale of the militia to drop to the bottom. More and more soldiers fled the battle, throwing away their weapons and equipment and pretending to be civilians and fled to the safe zone.
Even though he had ten times the number on the other side, and even had the support of armored troops, he was still beaten like this. Xue Hong didn't know whether he should scold the commander of the militia or his mother.
"Qinling...it's Qinling!" Walking into the office quickly, Gao Ruiming said solemnly, "The news came from the observation station just now that Qinling has hijacked our orbiting space station and destroyed our city defense just now. The system... is also their naval gun!"
Xiao Hong: "Where's our fleet!"
Gao Ruiming said profusely with sweat: "The First Fleet of the Alliance Army has set off from the port of the asteroid belt, and it is expected to reach the orbit of Mars tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow!" Xiao Hong couldn't help but spit immediately, spit and stars flew all over the place and said angrily, "You mean, we have to let them point guns at us all day long?!"
"What can I do! It's useless to get angry with me!" Gao Ruiming was also angry when he was so busy, "I told you to put Lu Zhou under house arrest and force him to hand over his life!" In the end, you insisted on not listening to the technology of the warp speed engine, and you frankly put on a look of control for me! You can see for yourself what a good hand of cards has been played by you now!"
Xiao Hong stared at his aides dumbfounded, with a look of astonishment written all over his face.
He couldn't believe that this man dared to speak to himself in such a tone.
Knowing that his emotions were a little out of control, Gao Ruiming took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions and said immediately.
"The first priority now is to turn to our allies for help."
Xiao Hong immediately said: "You mean other colonial cities? It's impossible for those guys who follow the wind to help us!"
"They must help us, and they will definitely help us! Otherwise, do you think that the matter of the alliance army has been brought to light, and what do you think will happen to them? This is not to save us, but to save themselves!" Staring at Xiao Hong, Gao Ruiming Putting his hands on the desk, he said with an unprecedented momentum, "Not only allies, but also those mercenary organizations that can be contacted. No matter how high the price they charge, as long as we can afford it, we will agree to it all." !"
"Of course, don't forget to ask them to think carefully before they speak. Who has been conniving at them all this time, and who is turning a blind eye to their business!"
