What if one day in the future, an asteroid hits Earth, and you are alone on Mars? Can you survive?
After enduring disaster, humanity has rediscovered the glorious and suffering history of its...
The warships still had personnel on duty while they were anchored, but they didn't even activate their energy shields when they were attacked, indicating that the attack happened very suddenly and Galilean didn't have any warning time.
The General Staff of the Ryan National Army, upon receiving the war situation information, was also in complete disarray.
"Why has a fleet of the Fass gone to the rear?" Chief of the General Staff Andrei roared in anger. "Milan forward defense command, I need an explanation!"
Galland is indeed important now, but its importance lies in its location. It has little strategic value in itself; it's just a small satellite city with a population of 30,000. Its port cannot accommodate large warships, so even if the Fass occupies it, they cannot hold it and will not achieve their goal of cutting off Ryan's shipping choke point.
The Milan frontline defense command was also baffled. How did a Fars fleet end up in that place?
Milan is currently in a stalemate, with all fronts on high alert. Both sides have made their defenses impenetrable, and various spy satellites and reconnaissance ships are scattered throughout Milan's airspace. However, a Fars fleet has slipped in right under their noses, which is enough to send chills down their spines.
Before the General Staff questioned them, the Milan frontline command had already made direct contact with the Galicia air defense command to understand the situation on the front lines.
It turns out that the Fars fleet that broke through the defenses and entered the airspace of Galilean consisted of only two small transport ships.
The two small transport ships had all their weapons removed and were disguised as civilian vessels, successfully evading Ryan's detection radar and reconnaissance satellites. Each transport ship carried 10 "Wild Wolf" beast-shaped mechs, and each "Wild Wolf" had two heavy anti-ship missiles mounted on its flight wing surface. These missiles were what destroyed the warships anchored in the airspace of Caledonia.
Caledland itself is not a military stronghold. After its few air defense positions were targeted and eliminated by anti-ship missiles, the "Wolf" easily invaded the Caledland metropolitan area.
Galilean was engulfed in flames. The Rhine Army stationed there had deployed tanks and armored vehicles into the streets, and even man-portable anti-tank missiles had been set up in an attempt to establish a defensive line. However, all their efforts were in vain against the swift and agile "Wild Wolf" beast-shaped mechs.
The "Wild Wolf" leaped behind the defensive line in one bound, destroying tanks and armored vehicles before they could even turn their turrets around. Meanwhile, man-portable anti-tank missiles were completely unable to penetrate the "Wild Wolf's" armor.
The "Wild Wolf" is a land-based beast-shaped mech developed by the Fashan Army specifically for space city assault operations. Compared to humanoid heavy mechs, the "Wild Wolf" is smaller, longer, and more maneuverable, making it ideal for penetrating city streets. Its claws and fangs can easily cut through the armor of tanks and armored vehicles from different angles.
Inside the factory where the "White Tiger Gang" was located, all non-combatants had evacuated to the back of the factory for refuge. Big Sister, along with several burly men, stood on the roof of the warehouse, observing the situation in the city with binoculars.
“Those garrison troops are behaving very unprofessionally,” Old Wolf said, looking into the distance through his binoculars. “They should have lowered the muzzle. The weakest point of the ‘Wild Wolf’ is the hydraulic linkage of the foot joints, but they’re wasting shells on the armor.”
"And to spread out the defensive line when facing 'wild wolves' is simply courting death." Other burly men also shook their heads.
"It is estimated that the garrison in Galicia has not experienced any decent fighting."
As Zhang Fan watched the flames that lit up the city and heard the rumbling explosions around him, he felt a little anxious.
"Shouldn't we go and help?" Zhang Fan asked with some concern. "It seems there aren't any mech units in Galilan?"
"What help are you going to offer? They're not after us." Old Wolf said sarcastically.
"We haven't received any orders. What if they later accuse us of disobeying military orders?"
"Exactly, the boss did that before, and what happened?"
"With our current fighting strength, we can barely protect ourselves, so we'd better not meddle in other people's business."
"That's right, this isn't our defense zone, we should just leave it to the garrison."
"It's only 20 'Wildwolves'. Milan's reinforcements will arrive in three or four hours."
Zhang Fan remained silent for a while, it seemed that they still harbored considerable resentment towards Wang Desheng's situation.
"Can those five 'Honor 13' helicopters move?" Zhang Fan turned to the older woman. "Could I have one?"
"When did it become the children's turn to teach us how to do things?" The eldest sister put down her binoculars. "If you want to go to the battlefield, you'll have to wait until we're all dead."
"Big sister, are you really going?" Old Wolf and the others quickly stepped forward.
"Vice Captain, those 'Glory' aircraft are all assembled from parts, and the repairs aren't even finished yet. It'll be good if they can perform at half their original combat capability..."
"If Wang Desheng were here, what would he say?" The eldest sister glared at Lao Lang and the others.
"Ah, this..."
"What else is there to say?" The eldest sister jumped off the roof in a few steps. "Notify the maintenance team to inject nerve solution into all of 'Glory'."
"Attack in 10 minutes!"
"yes!"
At the eldest sister's command, the four burly men, including Old Wolf, jumped down from the warehouse without complaint and followed her.
Watching their departing figures, Zhang Fan couldn't help but admire them. This was what soldiers should be like. Perhaps it was because there were still such people in Ryan's army that Fas Khan's army was unable to advance unimpeded.
Ten minutes later, the warehouse's large iron gate slowly opened, and five "Glory 13" heavy humanoid mechs stepped out of the gate.
"Two people per team, Old Wolf, you stay behind to cover us." The eldest sister gave the tactical instructions. "There are too many enemies, so don't spread out too much and be sure to support each other."
"receive!"
Whether due to tradition or a lack of spare parts, of the five "Glory 13" mechs, only Old Wolf's mech was equipped with a long-range laser gun; the rest were equipped with melee weapons such as swords, spears, and halberds.
The thrusters on the back of the "Honor 13" kicked up a cloud of dust, and Zhang Fan had already taken refuge inside the warehouse, watching them drive away...
"We took one down!"
A crowd gathered around the communication monitor in the warehouse. Through this television-sized monitor, people could see the subjective view of Lao Lang's "Honor 13" sent back by Lao Lang.
The two of them, Big Sister and her partner, would target lone "wolves" on the outskirts of the area.
The "Wild Wolf" is only one-third the size of the "Glory," and it is no match for the "Glory" in a one-on-one situation. When the four "Glory" suddenly appeared, the pilot of Phos's mech was also a little flustered.
"The intelligence is wrong. Why is Ryan's 'Glory' here? Wasn't it said that Galicia didn't have any mech units?!"
Bang! A "Wild Wolf" was shot in the leg by a laser gun.
"Correction! It's not four, it's five! There's another one on the mountain 1500 meters away at one o'clock!"
"Abandon searching for the primary objective and take down these 'glories' first!"
"One team goes to deal with that 'Glory' up on the mountain, the rest of you follow me!"
All 18 "Wild Wolves" surrounded them. The "Glory" fighters provided cover for each other, fighting and retreating simultaneously.
"We have the numerical advantage, surround them!"
"They don't have long-range weapons, let's wear them down!"
Using their speed and numbers, the 13 "Wild Wolves" began to employ hit-and-run tactics, gradually tearing apart the four "Glory" fighters in the encirclement. The other five "Wild Wolves" fled towards the mountains, forcing the Old Wolf to relocate.
"Damn it, if it's 'Glory' at full power, we're not afraid of these beasts at all!"
The "Wild Wolf" mech uses a traditional electromechanical transmission cockpit, which is a generation behind the "Glory" mech, which uses neural fluid for piloting.
However, the "Glory" aircraft of the "White Tiger Regiment" were all assembled from parts and could not exert their original combat power at all. As the encirclement of the "Wild Wolves" got smaller and smaller, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
After seeing an arm of a "Glory" aircraft bitten off, Zhang Fan stood up and pointed to the curtain behind him:
"Can that thing move?"
"Huh, which one?"
"Oh, but we don't have a driver, and..."
"As long as it can move, that's fine!" Zhang Fan picked up the pendant on the table.
"Inject it with nerve solution!"
