Chapter 365 Atlas Combat Force VS Federal Regular Army

The Atlas soldiers only saw the main battle tank of the federal army. The rectangular muzzle flashed violently, and then a dazzling white light burst out from the front of a medium-sized multi-legged tank within their own cordon.

That was the arc generated by the activation of the deflection field.

The soldiers who were a little further away could even see a thin orange-red line of fire that paused for a moment after hitting the deflection field, and then flew diagonally upward as if it was slid away.

Then, the sound of artillery that came from far away was like the wrath of Thor.

"Fire! The federal army fired! Defend and counterattack according to the established procedures!"

While waving his hands, Om shouted in his platoon command channel:

"Smoke! Smoke! Smoke!"

Soon, with the sound of a series of electromagnetic projectiles operating, a large number of smoke bombs exploded in the open space between the Atlas soldiers and the federal troops.

In this round, both vehicles and infantry threw out fast-firing smoke bombs. Although the duration is not as long as that of conventional thermal smoke bombs, their special chemical formula is superior in that they can quickly produce a large amount of smoke for tactical concealment in an emergency.

Watching the smoke wall rise, Om continued to command in the communication channel:

"Squads 1, 2, and 4 will cover the refugees to retreat to the camp, and squads 3 and the firepower group will quickly enter the designated position and try to counterattack! The multi-legged tank platoon is responsible for the rear, don't fight!"

Under his command, the Atlas soldiers who were originally a little nervous because of the sudden situation quickly calmed down and began to act according to his instructions.

The last multi-legged tank platoon was not his unit, but came from his company, but was temporarily reinforced in this mission.

At this time, Om had to be thankful that his company commander reinforced these three medium-sized multi-legged tanks to him.

Otherwise, the vehicles of the conventional mechanized infantry platoon would have already set off fireworks in the shooting of the federal main battle tank just now.

"This thing is so tough. How tough are the heavy multi-legged tanks and main battle tanks in the battalion?"

While this inappropriate thought flashed through his mind, Om and the soldiers around him began to retreat to the preset positions under the cover of the infantry fighting vehicles.

The vehicles used by the companies and platoons under the heavy synthetic battalion are armored infantry fighting vehicles with better protection than wheeled armored vehicles.

At this time, under Om's command, they also maintained a posture of facing the enemy head-on, retreating while suppressing the federal soldiers who were like headless flies in the smoke with 50mm chain guns.

Compared with the 25, 30, and 35mm machine guns and chain guns on the federal infantry vehicles, the 50mm chain gun equipped on the newly equipped "Bull" armored infantry fighting vehicle on the Atlas side, although slightly inferior in ammunition capacity, is obviously more "mighty" in firepower.

Moreover, only a company with deep pockets like Atlas would be willing to use programmed ammunition for the chain guns of these infantry fighting vehicles when equipping their not-so-large ground forces.

The mixed ammunition chain of high-explosive and armor-piercing explosive ammunition, with the sound of "bang bang bang bang" from the chain gun, turned into a "death sickle" through the smoke and swept across the location where the federal soldiers had just gathered.

Although the commanders of each infantry fighting vehicle could not figure out the killing effect for the time being, they knew that the federal infantry must have suffered a great loss by watching the increasingly sparse counterattacks in the smoke.

Not long after Om and the company reported the situation, the whistling sound from the sky made him look up.

He saw more than a dozen ballistic trajectories with shallow tails passing over his head, and after exploding at the landing point in the distance, a thicker wall of smoke was formed.

This was the covering fire from the 120mm mortar of the company's firepower platoon.

According to the predetermined plan, after the conflict, the 120mm mortar group will first fire a round of smoke bombs to the predetermined area to cover the frontline troops and refugees to retreat, and then the 120mm intelligent air-blast grenade will be fired six times.

Since the area near the No. 5 refugee camp has been clearly explored in the previous multiple test firings, all the indirect firepower, including the firepower platoon of this company, can skip the calibration link and fire directly when counterattacking.

Even if there is an error in the landing point, it can be corrected by the calibration drone while maintaining the suppression shooting.

——

If the combat units on the Atlas side have achieved an orderly retreat and counterattack in the face of emergencies.

Then the more numerous federal forces facing them, facing a mechanized infantry platoon + multi-legged tank platoon and more than ten 120 mortars, seem a little embarrassed.

Looking at the leading mechanized infantry company that was blown up and fled in the smoke, Norris, the battalion commander of the federal 162 heavy synthetic battalion, was a little confused.

He suddenly found that he was a little confused about who was calculating who?

How come the opponent's counterattack speed is so fast, and the firepower counterattack plan is so sufficient, as if they have been prepared for a long time and are waiting for them to come to the door.

What's more outrageous is that the moment the two sides started fighting, his troops were severely suppressed by electronic means.

Not only did the drones in the sky disconnect from the ground signal and enter the automatic cruise mode, but they were also shot down by the opponent's high-energy lasers like mosquitoes.

Even the communication between his battalion and friendly forces in the rear and other directions was seriously interfered.

In order to prevent possible electronic warfare viruses, Norris had to suspend regular communications and began to use less efficient blue-green lasers and quantum encryption communications.

"Fuck! What is this medium-sized multi-legged tank on the opposite side? Why is it equipped with a deflection force field?"

The cursing voice in the communication channel made Norris suddenly come back to his senses. This was the voice of the armored company commander under his command.

The radio discipline of the Federal Army has always been in a state of "steady decline". The chaotic communication channels made commanders at all levels miserable during the battle.

But they themselves often did not abide by the radio discipline, not to mention their soldiers.

"Are you sure it's a medium-sized multi-legged tank, not a heavy multi-legged tank with a low body?"

Norris replied subconsciously in the communication channel, not noticing that he did not stop the armored company commander from not abiding by the radio discipline in time, and even participated in it.

"Captain, I'm sure it's a medium-sized multi-legged beast. The combat support AI also speculated that it was a medium-sized multi-legged beast based on the opponent's size. But it's really strange. Although I lowered the voltage to fire quickly, it shouldn't be so bad that I can't even knock down a medium-sized multi-legged beast."

"Don't think too much. The troops in other directions will probably find out that something is wrong now. They have probably started attacking according to the plan. You lead the armored company to press forward first, and I will let the HCP company cover you. They don't have much defensive depth!"

"Understood! Captain!"

The armored company commander replied with great momentum, and then led 14 "Grizzly" main battle tanks to form a battle formation, and at the same time, he lifted up the deflection field and began to advance.

When the armored company commander's No. 1 vehicle rushed out of the thermal energy smoke wall, the last thing he saw was a large number of armored walls and fixed turrets that appeared like magic on the impact position that was originally a "smooth road" in front of him.

The next second, a thick blue-white "beam" unreasonably tore the deflection field of the Grizzly main battle tank, and then swallowed the entire body of the tank.
