Chapter 1460 - As You Wish (1/2)
The exploding ammunition rack blew off the top of the tank and left only the mainframe of the tank, as well as the swaying flame at the end of the main gun.
Blood mixed with muddy water was roasted black by the explosion. The soldiers wearing helmets sat down beside the belt of the tank, the muzzle fallen onto the ground had already cooled, and the hollowness inside their pupils under the helmet was filled with horror.
They crossed the ocean to fight against the Colombian rebels, but they never thought they would run into such an opponent.
The rocket launch vehicle that was blown up by thermite burned in flames, and the fragmented steel told the tragedy of the previous battle.
A dozen Osprey helicopters arrived late and landed in the center of the military base. After the Marine Corp soldiers saw the scene in front of them, they were all in disbelief, and not a word could come out of their mouths.
In the middle of the military base in chaos, UA Army General Felton stood on this devastated battlefield, stared straight at the wreckage of the Patriot-3 launch vehicle not far away, and was in a state of shock for a long time.
Two hundred and twenty NS-90 robots completely overwhelmed the three brigades he commanded. Less than a year has passed since their last conformation, but the combat power of Celestial Trade made him feel like he was fighting against aliens and the type of aliens that only existed in Hollywood movies…
He would rather believe that he did not wake up this morning, and all of this was just a nightmare.
Colonel Fabian approached Felton, hesitated, and spoke.
“Sir.”
After a long silence, General Felton spoke slowly.
“Has the casualties been counted?”
“The statistics came out…” After Fabian hesitated for a moment, he took a deep breath and finally made up his mind, “A total of 1,677 soldiers were killed in battle, and the wounded are still being counted…”
General Felton took a breath.
Although he had been mentally prepared, his heart couldn’t help but spasm a few times after he heard this number.
“Let the Third Mechanized Division withdraw to Barranquilla.”
“But the front line…” Colonel Fabian said with difficulty in his tone.
The Third Mechanized Division had already crossed Highland 744 and was preparing to join the 11th and 14th Mountain Divisions of North Colombia besieging Bucaramanga. The next plan was a joint offensive against the Fifth Infantry Division of South Colombia stationed in downtown Bucaramanga.
For the North Colombia force attacking Bucaramanga, the firepower support of the Third Mechanized Division was absolutely necessary. However, Felton could not care less at this moment. Today, it was robots being parachuted down. No one could guarantee that it would not be the orbital airborne brigade thrown on him tomorrow.
He didn’t dare to gamble his own life on the courage of Celestial Trade.
“If we can’t even hold the command, even if we take Bucaramanga, it’s meaningless.” After a pause, Felton continued, “In addition, the casualty report should be sent to the people at Capital as soon as possible. We need reinforcements! If they still want to win this war…”
…
Two hundred vs six thousand.
At the cost of fewer than 50 robots, more than 1,600 NATO soldiers were killed by NS-90 suspended rifles, and countless were wounded.
Under the cover of Aurora-20s, the remaining one hundred and eighty-four NS-90s, along with the scrapped robot wreckages, fought and retreated towards the Port of Barranquilla, and finally jumped into the sea and were received by Celestial Trade submersibles waiting in the nearby water. They retreated in the direction of Venezuela…
When this report was sent to Jiang Chen’s desk by Ivan, he was still amazed by the number, despite the fact that he had expected such a result.
As robots that even gave NAC a headache, the little guys were indeed worthy of their “Battlefield Janitor” name.
Jiang Chen even fantasized in his mind with ill-intentions.
If Capital learned that these robots came from their “descendants,” what kind of reaction would they have.
