From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 79: Escape from the surprise attack (4000 words long chapter)
  October 9th.

13: 56.

Three empty wildernesses away from Los Angeles, thick smoke billows.

The "Armored Corps" with a total of more than two hundred vehicles, each unit maintaining a distance of thirty meters or even more, is rapidly advancing towards the north.

More than half of them are military off-road vehicles, as well as wheeled or tracked armored personnel carriers.

The remaining 40% is composed of Titan main battle tanks and Killer heavy tanks that use magnetic levitation and Gaussian rail technology and are simply "land battleships".

Not just the ground.

There are also more than a hundred flying formations in the air, consisting of V-44 Red Eagles, RH-66 Falcons, Samsons and other aircraft, and their speed is on par with the ground armored formations.

But the figures of the five behemoths are particularly eye-catching.

Four are old faces, namely Dragon assault boats carrying air-to-air, air-to-ground missiles and rockets, while the other one is larger and looks more like a ghost airship——

Agile Shadow air assault craft.

The positioning of this assault craft is similar to that of the Dragon assault craft, serving as an air platform for tactical transportation, command and assault, but its technical aspects have much priority.

It is 94 meters long, 70 meters wide and 23 meters high. It can carry fully armed combatants or corresponding mechas, and can also accommodate two main battle tanks.

The hidden vertical missile launch bay can provide ground and air firepower for friendly forces.

At the same time, the fire control system is no longer interfered by Pandora's magnetic field and is equipped with the most advanced optical camouflage modules and stealth coatings.

The two nuclear fusion engines carried by "She" can enable it to break through the first cosmic speed and easily complete the single-stage entry into low-Earth orbit.

The remaining three magnetic levitation engines and two large jet engines ensure the agility and speed of the Xunying assault craft in the atmosphere.

Therefore, Xunying can also temporarily play the role of Ernie, performing high-altitude reconnaissance in low-Earth orbit, or tactical and strategic strikes. However, its orbital endurance is far less than that of the "space station" Ernie, so its positioning is different from that of Dragon Assault. Boats are similar.

At present, Atlas has only produced one experimental model, which was produced in the underground base of the Accra campus, which is the Xunying 001 that is participating in the raid.

  ...

Inside the command cabin of Xunying 001;

"Boss, the Specter fighter jet formation is in position and is dropping bombs... The bomb drop has been completed and is expected to destroy the enemy's main defense facilities in twenty-five seconds."

The observer watching the holographic screen reported the real-time situation to Sui Yang who was standing behind him.

Sui Yang only nodded lightly, without saying anything more, and browsed the content on the holographic screen with the observer.

"The main defense facilities have been dismantled, and the Phantom fighter formation is returning. It is expected to complete the replenishment before 1430. Eneo 002 has also launched twenty tactical hydrogen bombs and four strategic hydrogen bombs, and will complete the set target in fifty seconds."

As the observer's report sounded again, nothing unusual could be observed with the naked eye to the north outside the porthole, which was the direction where Minova was.

It seems calm.

But the real situation is that the defense system of Minova, which is more than 70 kilometers away, has been disrupted by the EMP missiles launched by the Phantom fighters.

Then the Phantom fighter formation, which had intelligence support, launched a large number of air-to-surface missiles with a maximum speed exceeding Mach 8, successfully hitting all land-based mid-section defense facilities.

This over-the-horizon operation can be said to have destroyed Minova's air defense capabilities in an instant, directly causing the UAC command level to fall into chaos. This also explains why the main force of Atlas can appear openly and openly. Above the desert.

As for the Phantom fighter, its official name is "Atlas Multirole Fighter program - Model 006".

As one of the important shareholders of General Motors and a customer of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, Atlas began secretly researching fighter aircraft as early as the 1970s.

With Atlas combining the technologies of UDF and RDA, as well as the excellent testing site of Pandora, Atlas has its first mass-produced model, the AMF-006 Ghost.

As of today, a total of 14 aircraft have been produced at the Accra base.

It may not seem like much, but the Ghost has a terrifying bomb load, coupled with the ability to cruise at supersonic speeds at an altitude of 60,000 meters, which is enough to collapse Minova's defense system.

The optical camouflage module and stealth coating are basic configurations, but the Phantom fighter does not have the ability to fight in space.

now.

The observer reminded Sui Yang again: "In order to ensure that our compatriots are not affected, the enemy's effective strength will be maintained between 33% and 36%."

"Okay." Sui Yang ordered: "Notify all ministries and go to their designated areas according to the plan.

At 15:001, all air units, including Phantom , and ground artillery positions launched the first round of bombing on the enemy's active positions.

After the first round of bombing, the air transport unit immediately dropped the combatants into Minova to ensure the safety of the compatriots as much as possible.

The ground armored units advance steadily from south to north, with the primary goal of annihilating the remaining enemies. As for the special joint teams that go deep behind enemy lines, they can use them freely.

In addition, all ministries are reminded to be cautious, as although the enemy's defenses have been dismantled, their individuals are all reinforced Fallen.

Finally, if there are any special circumstances, be sure to notify me as soon as possible. "

"Yes, boss."

"Ah."

Sui Yang turned away from the observer and stepped up the steps to the cockpit located on the "second floor".

The space here is similar to that of Enio, and it is also controlled by three pilots. Then, Sui Yang habitually put his hands behind his back.

Through the portholes, you can clearly overlook Atlas's ground troops, and looking at the northern skyline, you can spot several looming mushroom clouds that are several kilometers high.

That's where Minova is.

Ernieo 002 is equipped with twenty tactical-grade metallic hydrogen bombs with a TNT yield of about 30 tons, and four strategic-grade bombs with a yield of about 300 million tons.

In fact, Atlas also possesses strategic-level weapons with greater yield, but if used, it will cause the human compatriots in Minova to be affected, such as radiation, arrogance, impact, etc., and the number of casualties will be in the tens of thousands. Calculating one hundred thousand or even one million is contrary to Sui Yang's original intention and the goal that the company and all combat personnel strive for.

Boom——Boom——…

The dull "thunder" sound gradually stopped, and the earth no longer shook violently.

Huh-huh-! !

But the sandstorms were still raging.

After peeking into the strange scene outside through the iron-barred window, the originally silent cell felt like a boulder hitting a calm lake, causing ripples of noise;
  "Oh my God, is it the end of the world outside?"

"The end of the world? I don't think so. It's more like the aftermath of a nuclear explosion."

"The nuclear explosion...could it be the rebels?!"

"This! This can only be the rebels!"

In an instant, a large number of people in ragged clothes and sallow faces gathered at the windows, scrambling to squeeze together to look outside.

Take a closer look at where these people live...

The overall area is the size of three basketball courts, but it is packed with two to three hundred people, and even space to lie down is scarce.

This is a semi-basement structure, making the whole space look cool and dark. The men, women, and children crowded here are unkempt and look like they lack nutrition. Some of the children's bodies are so slender that they seem to break or break if touched.

This is the dungeon where the fallen UAC used to imprison their former compatriots, and it is also one of the many microcosms inside Minova.

Although the people imprisoned here became agitated due to the "nuclear explosion" that broke out outside, they did not have too much chaos, and no stampede occurred.

"Grandpa..." At this time, a little boy who was only six or seven years old was woken up. He sat up in confusion and asked:
  "Ugh~, what happened?"

The old man sitting next to the boy against the wall looked out the window through the gap between people, and responded with a hoarse laugh: "Who knows? Maybe it won't be noisy after a while, let's continue sleeping. "

"Are the rebels coming? Grandpa!" But the boy who heard people talking clearly became more energetic.

"."

Hearing this, the old man turned sideways and looked at his expectant eyes for a moment of hesitation.

Bang!
  Just when the old man didn't know how to answer, the cell door was kicked open with brute force, causing the lively atmosphere to fall directly into the ice cave.

Everyone looked towards the cell door and saw two fallen UAC soldiers wearing armor and holding firearms rushing into the cell.

People stood up and gathered together in unison, trying to cover the children's figures, and then slowly retreated towards the wall opposite the cell door, keeping a certain distance from the UAC soldiers.

Most people's expressions are one of panic and helplessness, but more of them are habitual and numb. It seems that UAC will come to the cell to arrest people every once in a while.

"Hey...man, the headquarters is gone, who can control our place? Haha..."

"Enjoy a good meal before you run away. I have to come even if you don't tell me. I have endured it for too long."

? ?
  However, listening to the negotiations between the fallen soldiers of the UAC, and their increasingly crazy and twisted appearance, coupled with the scenes of "nuclear neutralization" all over Minova...

People began to hesitate, they couldn't believe it easily, but it was true - the resistance army really captured Minova!

"These beasts are scared!" The old man reacted first, the whites of his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and he was the first to rush forward with fists clenched, shouting loudly with a volume that almost broke his throat:

"They're scared!! They're actually scared!!"

What follows is…

"Bang!" There was a dull sound of fists hitting.

"Poof!" Blood spurted from his mouth.

The frail old man was no match for the assimilated UAC soldier with super strength, speed and reflexes. He was knocked to the ground in just one encounter.

But before the UAC soldier could reload his shot at the old man, a large number of men and women went crazy and pounced on him and his comrades without any hesitation.

"Back off! Back off!"

"Da da da!"

Shouts and gunshots were heard, but failed to stop people's "madness."

"Kill them! There are more of us!"

"Grab its gun! Steal its gun!"

The strength of a single UAC soldier is completely superior to that of any human prisoner. They even killed nearly twenty people at the beginning of the "riot". However, the principle that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands has been extremely well understood. verification.

People who had never given up hope from beginning to end now vented their long-pent-up grief and anger "crazily". Soon, the two UAC soldiers stopped moving.

During this period, the boy carefully crawled to the old man's side and asked with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa...are you okay..."

"I'm fine..." The old man, with his left shoulder collapsed and his bones and flesh tissue exposed, ignored the pain and smiled weakly but cheerfully:

"Whether it's the rebels or not...my child, you can enjoy the real sunrise and sunset..."

at the same time.

The area on the south side of Minova, near the perimeter;
  "Guys! Charge! Charge out of the city!"

"Hahaha! It's the sun!"

"Stop giggling and run!"

Countless human prisoners took advantage of the chaos to break free from captivity, snatch the guards' firearms, and rush outside like a torrent, led by many of them former professional soldiers and police officers.

The human captives did not pay much attention to the fact that there were actually a large number of long-range artillery and missiles that accurately landed on the surrounding fallen soldiers and UAC armored units, providing them with indirect fire support and making their escape smoother.

It wasn't until people passed through the chaotic outer area and successfully reached the ruins of the high wall that the momentum suddenly stalled.

"Roar!!"

Because they were equipped with a large number of heavy armors, the nearly three-meter-tall Corrupt Knight either pushed through the piles or crawled out of the rubble, and luckily survived the artillery and missile bombardment just now.

This group of big men looked up to the sky and roared, causing people's fear to temporarily take over.

But we have already rushed here, what else is there to be afraid of? !
  "Everyone, follow me..."

"Ri~buzz!!!"

The prisoners standing at the forefront were just mentally prepared to continue charging and were willing to be the first to die when they were interrupted by the crisp sound of gunfire.

Bang!
  puff!
  The corrupt knights who survived the bombing could not escape the cannon fire with blue tracer ballistics, and their bodies suddenly exploded and shattered.

Just looking at the southern sky, a formation headed by V-44 transport helicopters quickly turned from a small black dot into a clearly visible fuselage, hovering in the sight of many human prisoners.

The hatch unfolds.

"Eh ha!"

"Death to the heretics!"

Having been waiting for a long time, the AECS wearing dark green combat uniforms, in order to avoid excessive consumption of mechanical skeletons and AMP mechas, have used more stable and convenient steel cables to complete the landing.

But one of them chose to "land on both feet."

As soon as he stood firm, the man used a 1911, aimed at a corrupt knight that had not climbed out of the ruins, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!!"

The deafening sound of gunfire echoed.

"puff!!"

Half of the Corrupt Knight's body exploded.

"."

The prisoner who was willing to sacrifice and wanted to be the first to charge couldn't believe what he witnessed at close range...

It is enough that the individual equipment of the "Resistance Army" is more advanced than that of the UAC, but what happens when a "teenager" who is less than 1911 meters tall uses a that is more powerful than an anti-machine sniper rifle? ? ?
