Chapter 1461 (1/2)
The shell of the tank was left bare and the flames flickering in the dark hole.
Blood mixed with mud, black by the explosion of fire, soldiers in helmets sat down beside the wheel of the tank, the muzzle of the gun hanging on the ground had cooled down, and the empty eyes under the helmet were filled with panic.
They crossed the ocean and were ordered to fight the Colombian rebels, but never thought they would meet such an opponent.
The rocket launcher blasted by thermite is burning slowly, and the broken steel tells the tragedy of the previous battle.
More than a dozen Osprey helicopters arrived late and landed in the center of the military base. The Marines who jumped out of the helicopters looked incredible and could not speak for a moment.
Standing in the middle of a sprawling military base, U.S. Army General Felton stood on the devastated battlefield, staring at the wreckage of the patriot-3 launch vehicle not far away. For a while, he did not recover from the shock.
Two hundred and twenty ns-90 robots beat soldiers from his three brigades to the north. Less than a year before the last fight, the combat effectiveness of star ring trade made him feel like he was fighting with aliens, and it was the kind of Hollywood blockbuster
He preferred to believe that he didn't wake up this morning, and all this was just a nightmare.
As he approached Felton, Colonel Fabian hesitated and said.
”Sir.”
There was a moment's silence, and Admiral Felton spoke slowly.
”Are the casualties counted?”
”The statistics come out...” After hesitation, Fabian took a deep breath and finally made up his mind and said, ”a total of 1679 people were killed, and the wounded are still in the statistics...”
Admiral Felton took a breath.
Although he had been prepared in mind, but after hearing the number, his heart still couldn't help but jerk a few times.
”Get the third mechanist back to Barranquilla.”
”But on the front line...” Why is colonel Fabian.
Their third mechanized division has already crossed the 744 heights and is preparing to join the 11th and 14th mountain divisions of northern Columbia, which surround Bucaramanga, to jointly attack the 5th infantry division of southern Colombia stationed in the urban area of Bucaramanga.
Support fire from the 3rd mechanized division was necessary for northern Colombia to attack Bucaramanga. However, Felton can't care so much at the moment. It's robots that are airdropped today. It's the orbital Airborne Brigade that will be thrown on his head tomorrow.
He did not dare to gamble with his own life on the courage of star ring trade.
”If we can't hold the headquarters, it's pointless even if we take bukaramanga.” After a pause, Felton continued, ”and by the way, send the casualty report to the Pentagon as soon as possible. We need reinforcements! If they still want to win this war... ”
……
Two hundred vs six thousand.
At the cost of less than 50 robots, more than 1600 NATO soldiers were killed by hanging rifles of the ns-90, and countless wounded.
Under the cover of aurora-20, the remaining 184 ns-90, with their discarded robot debris, fought and retreated in the direction of the port of barranquila, and finally jumped into the sea. They were recovered by the star ring trade submersible waiting in the nearby waters and retreated towards Venezuela
When the war report was sent to Jiang Chen's desk by Ivan, he always expected such a result, but Jiang Chen couldn't help smacking his lips.
It's a headache for NAC. These little guys are worthy of their ”battlefield cleaner”.
Jiang Chen even made up for it in his mind.
If the Pentagon knew that these robots were made by their ”descendants”, I don't know how they would feel.
