725 Fighting
Interstellar cannons are not omnipotent. The biggest disadvantage is that they must be built underground. Although the range and power are far superior to warships, the firing angle is fixed in one direction. Even if they can be adjusted by technical means, the angle of change is very limited. Therefore, a single interstellar cannon has almost no practical value. Only by increasing the number and aiming the muzzle at all directions can it be put into actual combat.
The Atlantis, who knew the shortcomings of interstellar cannons, changed their attack methods and approached the lunar base with warships with the Marine Corps. The triangular warship flying against the moon surface successfully avoided the firing angle of the interstellar cannons and gave the Marine Corps strong fire support.
The defensive firepower outside the moon base was removed from the warships one by one, and the morale of the Atlantis Marine Army Corps was rising and they were advancing rapidly.
Unexpectedly, the exposed fire points were only part of the peripheral defense system. When the Marine Corps stepped into the defense circle, dozens of automatic turrets suddenly rose, and the rapid-fire gravity cannon with a caliber of 50 mm suddenly shot out a rain of dead bullets. The dense shells immediately knocked down a large number of Atlantis soldiers.
These suddenly appeared in groups of turrets. If you look down from the sky, you will find that each group of turrets is connected in a straight line and is a straight triangle. The three turrets are located at three corners, and the direction of shooting is the three bottom edges of the triangle. All enemies entering the triangle are stunned by the sudden violent blow. Before they realize the source of the firepower, they are beaten up and overturned.
The inverted triangle ambush formation originated from the Vietnam War in the 20th century. It is said that the Chinese people who aided Vietnamese and taught the ambush tactics of the Vietnamese guerrillas.
This tactic was still very effective when used on the moon several centuries later. Although the soldiers of the Atlantis Marine Corps were wearing fully enclosed and hard armor with miniature force field devices, the rapid-fire gravity cannon was a new weapon to replace the electromagnetic cannon. The density of the shells was very high. Although it could not penetrate the Atlantis armor for a while, the Atlantis were smashed by the powerful impact force carried on the shells, and they could not stand up no matter how hard they tried.
It is not impossible to force a stand up, but the armored one is not a warship after all, and the energy it carries is very limited, and the force field is a very energy-consuming thing. No one is willing to lose the protection of the force field.
The Atlantis are also flesh and blood. Exposing them directly to the enemy's firepower will also lead to their lives!
But the Atlantis who fell to the ground were also unable to escape the violent fire from humans. The Atlantis, who were on average four and a half meters tall, were wearing armor, and even lying on the ground was nearly one meter high. The ambush was exactly the impact plains caused by an asteroid impact. The semi-buried turret exposed to the ground was only sixty centimeters. The fallen Atlantis was at the level of the flat shooting.
The armored force fields of dozens of Atlantis were exhausted in a very short time. Then their armor was smashed by a large number of armor-piercing shells, and the fifty-mm-caliber shells were chiseled into the bodies of the Atlantis, which was equivalent to the human beings being hit by twenty-mm ammunition. The consequences were extremely fatal.
Although the armor-piercing shells used by gravity can not explode, their sufficient caliber and extremely high speed still produce huge lethality.
All the limbs of Atlantis who were shot in the limbs were broken on the spot, and at most only a little flesh was left to connect together; the head that was shot in the head burst on the spot like a watermelon, and it could not die anymore; the one who was shot in the torso was directly a hole as big as a basin, and all the internal organs were mixed into a mess.
What's even more terrifying is that the Atlantis' armor has very good strength. After the armor-piercing ejection was shot through the first time, there was no enough energy to shoot it again. So the armor-piercing ejection penetrated into the Atlantis' body caused great damage, and once it hit the armor-piercing ejection, it will rebound and cause more serious secondary damage.
The unmovable Marine Corps immediately requested air support from the warship responsible for cover, and the warship immediately began to clear the turrets in the ambush area at a designated location.
From the Marine Corps entering the ambush area to the warships accompanying the infantry to the beginning of clearing the turret, it only happened in more than ten seconds, but in these ten seconds, more than a hundred soldiers of the Marine Corps lost their lives... Half of these more than a hundred people were injured in their limbs, and at present, they were basically left with a breath, but the shells that broke the limbs also penetrated the major artery. If the injury of heavy bleeding cannot be stopped in time, the injured will lose their lives in a very short time.
The warships that were clearing the turret had no time to rescue them.
After the turret in the ambush area is hit by the decomposed beam of the triangular battleship, the turret will be immediately penetrated by the beam. The damaged gravity cannon stops roaring, and the trapped Marine Corps can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The performance of the Marine Corps really surprised Wang Wei. Is this an army from aliens? I am afraid that the terrorists on Earth will be more professional than them when fighting offensive and defensive battles.
Wang Weida didn’t know that there was a reason why the Marine Legion was slow to react.
The Atlantis and the Dick tribe have fought for thousands of years, but the two interstellar wars have always been dominated by air combat. Land warfare rarely appears in the war between the two tribes. The most important task of the land warfare troops on both sides is to seize the enemy's warships, rather than airborne to the surface of the other planet waiting to be air-raided by the enemy's warships!
If the Marine Corps' position at this time was a certain human warship, their performance would definitely not be so frustrated.
Seeing that the ambush fire had stopped, the surviving Marine Corps officer immediately jumped up and urged the soldiers to stand up and move forward immediately.
At this moment, several round holes suddenly cracked not far from the ambush area, and heavy air defense missiles flew out of the hole without any money, and rushed to the low-altitude triangular warship.
The triangular warship immediately opened the battleship force field, but the height of the warship was too low, so low that as soon as the force field was opened, it would overwhelm all the soldiers of the Marine Corps on the ground.
Fortunately, in order to avoid the sudden increase in missiles, the triangular warship avoided the sad scene of "the warship accidentally injured its own personnel and the entire army of the Marine Legion participated in the war."
However, unexpectedly, the missiles that took off from the air were not targeted by four triangular warships accompanied by infantry, but by the Marine Corps on the surface!
After several missiles forced the triangular warship to open, they suddenly turned down more than 90 degrees like a branch breaking. Before the Atlantis on the ground could not help, the violent nuclear explosion swallowed up all the personnel of the Marine Corps. (To be continued...)
