Earth Invasion

Chapter 373 Chapter Mai's Crisis

After all, Zhang Mai's interception battle was a battle with a difference in strength between heaven and earth.When the people of the NATO Space Force took over the temporary command on the ground, the serious NATO ground forces were not something that Zhang Mai and the others could only contend with.A ground infantry detachment with three UFPs as the core and assisted by an armored infantry company gave Zhang Mai and the others a firepower coverage when they first received the fire.Zhang Mai painstakingly arranged, powered by the wreckage, and the electromagnetic Gatling used by the two PAs just fired, and was located by the reconnaissance PA of the opponent. After a while, the UFP's charged particle cannon in the trinity attacking team mode of the opponent was launched. swept over.

Without deflection electric field, without enough thick armor, PA confronting UFP head-on is just a dream.Fortunately, the opponent's optical network is dense enough, but the movement speed of the strafing is very fast. Only one PA has an arm cut off directly from the joint, and the armor on the chest of the other is almost melted, but there is still one PA left. A layer of cushioning lining, it is unscathed.

But that Gatling is screwed.The defensive position with mutually horned horns was declared a failure, and the opponent immediately separated a commando team headed by a multi-legged chariot, and swooped towards the finished flank.

Can't fight hard anymore, retreat!Counting the time, I have already intercepted two batches of drones planning to conduct close-in reconnaissance, and then no drones came over.After all, the assembly center was knocked down, so it would be impossible to use it as a consumable.After all, the preparation time of the ground troops is much longer. After such a delay, our own people have already entered the underground river.

The opponent's near-air assault ship circled Assyria for about 90 minutes. Excluding the initial airborne and then the time for the exchange of fire, according to the range that the near-air assault ship's synthetic aperture radar can scan, they had about 50 minutes. You don't have to worry about eyes in space.It was enough for them to enter the underground river.

The rest is a problem on your own side.

Zhang Mai's first is the continuous shooting of two heavy particle cannons, but the shooting target is the ground.After causing a violent explosion, all the second rocket pods were launched, forming a light wall between the two sides.After all the aerosols of all PAs were launched in one breath, they all activated optical camouflage and plunged into the Silver Pine Forest.

"Damn it!" The NATO chasing troops cursed fiercely, they were not prepared for these guys turning around and running away.

Silver Pine Forest is not a good place. This kind of dense forest is rich in all kinds of water vapor. The dense trees will not only hinder the shooting of directed energy weapons, but even worse, it will block the aiming laser, and the combat distance will be greatly shortened. They want to If you want to kill the opponent, you can only catch up.

"Ultraviolet imaging! Let's catch up!" After a short contact with the Space Force, the captain of the pursuit force issued an order to continue the pursuit!

What these hateful Assyrians have done is too outrageous. If they run away like this, then the seat of this governor will come to an end.Governor Lahal must catch these Assyrians and execute them publicly to save himself some face.

Even if it is advancing like a bulldozer, the distance between the two sides has not been significantly shortened.The opponent must have the remnants of the Gaktuso guerrillas, who can move so quickly in this forest, who doesn't believe the terrain and the road.

The sky gradually brightened up, but there was no sunshine, and it was still dark under the thick forest.After a while, there was rumbling thunder from the sky, and against the backdrop of lightning, the forest looked even more gloomy.The torrential rain washed over the entire forest. Although there were dense branches and leaves blocking the rain, the rain inside the forest was not as heavy as outside, but it still caused a lot of trouble for the NATO troops to search.A large amount of leaves and humus were turned up, making PA's footprints less obvious and even intermittent.

Fortunately, there are traces of that UFP. This 80-ton big guy is like an elephant that broke into a chicken coop. You can find traces of it destroying the ground soil and various trees everywhere.

"Let's chase!" With such an obvious trace, the captain of the pursuit force was full of confidence. He didn't care that if he continued to advance, it would be the limit of the earth's pursuit in the Silver Pine Forest, and he still asked everyone to continue to go deep.

But the security forces were unwilling.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the elites of the Security Force are nothing compared to the elites of the Space Force, but when it comes to entanglement with the guerrillas, they have more say than the people of the Space Force.

At the beginning of the battle, none of them expected to turn into this kind of pursuit, or a search and pursuit deep into the Silver Pine Forest.Therefore, the PAs of the security forces did not carry the supply boxes with portable reverse osmosis water purification devices and 7-day rations at all, but only a few bottles of functional drinks and some field food in the armored box.Carrying such a small amount of stuff into this forest that is about the size of the Philippines to find someone... Hmph!Those of us who walk on two legs are not those of you who fly UFP. I heard that you even have a small refrigerator in your cockpit, but we want to eat biscuits and work with you?
In short, the security forces don't plan to go any further. If they want to find it, they should spray the defoliant first, and then set up the advance base.

The actions of these vigilantes angered the Space Forces.As they said, the Silver Pine Forest is the largest subtropical monsoon forest and temperate broad-leaved forest on the Nebula Continent.An area larger than that of the Philippines on Earth.Going deep into this place is troublesome.But because of this, they must catch up with those Assyrians in the shortest possible time.If the other party had already disappeared in the depths of the rain forest by the time the supplies on his side were in place, it would really be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

They must be caught before the opponent abandons UFP!

After a brief discussion, the UFPs of the Space Force decided not to deal with these scumbags of the Security Force, and they would completely kill the Assyrians themselves.

In this way, the three UFPs followed the traces left by Zhang Mai all the way.However, now that there are lessons learned from other UFPs, the three tracked UFPs kept an eye out. They still have three UFPs in Brontefontein, and they are the ones with high-speed flight kits.If they encounter the Assyrians, all they need is to hold them back, and then Brontefontein will scramble to take off the UFP, and at the same time, the unmanned combat attack aircraft will also cover them with ion rockets, resolutely crushing them with firepower.

But what they didn't expect was that there was no Assyrian PA at all in the traces they traced, only a UFP of Zhangmai.

Zhang Mai's separation from the blocking force was his decision after deep thinking.After entering the depths of the forest, the Assyrians began to use a magical method to cover their tracks.

They started walking up the trees.In the depths of the forest, towering trees that are decades old or even hundreds of years old abound. The main branches of these trees have a very high load-bearing capacity.And these PAs with a self-weight of about 400 kilograms shoot a palm-wide nylon belt, which can hang the PA and swing out like Tarzan.

It turned out that the chasing NATO security forces always looked down at the road and never looked up at the trees.This is the so-called black under the lamp.

PA can do this, but it is impossible for UFPs weighing tens of tons. As long as you follow them, you will never be able to shake them off.

Therefore, Zhang Mai made a decision. He left the team at the highest speed when he used an excuse to scan them to see if their traces were clear enough.

If UFP runs at full speed regardless, PA is 100% unable to keep up.Before he left, he only left a message for Ada.

"I will draw the pursuing troops away first, and then I will use PA to catch up."

At this point, it's useless for Ada to get angry. If she chases after him, there is a high probability that she will bump into those chasing troops head-on.After thinking about it for a while, Aida made a more risky decision—to temporarily camp in the depths of the forest near where Zhang Mai left, and wait for the other party to come back.

For the Assyrians, the forest is a huge treasure house.Before they entered the forest, Zhang Mai had already cleaned up the intact subcritical reactor, so the Assyrian PA could not worry about the power problem at all.This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Mai dared to leave these PAs alone.The Space Force folks didn't notice this, they still thought the UFP must have been with those Assyrians in order to recharge those PAs.

However, after waiting secretly for three days nearby, Aida and the others still couldn't wait for Zhang Mai.

The people in the intercepting force were very worried. They hadn't even received Zhang Mai's communication in the past few days.As a last resort, after some discussion, Ada decided to take people to him.My group of people did not have the habit of leaving their comrades alone.

They traced along the traces of Zhang Mai's UFP.In order to avoid possible pursuers, they do not follow the trace completely, but stay away from the trace at a certain time, and then leave one person to walk along the trace line, and another group of people who walk along the arc go to the trace in advance Go ahead and have a look.

After walking for a day, they finally found a firefight in the middle of the night.

At this almost razed firefighting site, they found the wreckage of four UFPs in total, and judging from the weapon container still on its back, this was the one of Zhang Mai.

Ada's heart was in her throat.

The three UFPs seemed to belong to NATO, the three pilots had only a charred corpse, and the rest had absolutely no chance of surviving from their melted cockpits.Ada got into Zhangmai's damaged cockpit along the slippery surface of the wreckage, and then she felt relieved.

Although the cockpit was damaged, no blood or other suspicious things were found. Some small animals had visited the seats, but it could still be seen that there were no traces of burns.And the huddled PA behind the cockpit is gone.

Zhang Mai is still alive, Ada came to this conclusion, but he is very likely to have lost his way.
