Chapter 22: Victory in the First Battle of KA Island
X, 1982
After the Pacific Front's two raids on the Su Army ended in failure, the Pacific Front was now in an unprecedented predicament. Due to the NOD Brotherhood's raids on Osaka Port and other subsequent military strongholds, the Pacific Front's troops were seriously insufficient and the defense line was in a state of emergency. In most areas, there were almost not enough troops to garrison. However, this was the moment when Ceris seized the opportunity. They were determined to take this opportunity to give the Pacific Front a fatal blow.
Seris sent out its main force without hesitation and launched a fierce attack on the Pacific Front. At the same time, they also actively contacted the pro-Serbian faction within the Pacific Front to try to get them to become internal supporters. These pro-Serbian factions were originally dissatisfied with some of the policies of the Pacific Front, and now that they saw an opportunity, they were naturally willing to cooperate with Seris's actions.
In just 72 hours, most of the Pacific Front defected and announced their acceptance of the leadership of the Seris government. The situation changed dramatically in an instant. Yun Mo's target was KA Island, where the pro-Moe faction was stationed. This was one of the important strongholds of the Pacific Front and the sphere of influence of the pro-Seris faction. More importantly, part of the research center of Jinchuan Industries was located here. Recycling the technology here could also play a vital role in Seris's "Great Iteration Plan".
Military Operation: A Thousand Mile Journey
【Time, 1982】
【Location: Foot Basin, KA Island, Okawa Falls】
[Briefing: Major General Yun Mo, this day has finally arrived! Our great journey is about to begin. In response to the call of our cute friends, our leader has resolutely decided to join this war and send a powerful European expeditionary force. Our Yanhuang tanks and Sentinel anti-aircraft vehicles will surely cause a stir on the European battlefield!
However, according to the battle reports sent back by the vanguard and the information shared with the intelligence agencies of the Mengyou, the situation is not smooth sailing. It is reported that the European Meng has now begun to mass-produce a new main battle tank, the Charon tank. This mysterious tank has an astonishing ability and can wipe out any target in an instant! This undoubtedly puts great pressure on us.
Fortunately, after in-depth research, we found that this terrifying Charon tank takes a long time to reload its energy after launching an attack. This undoubtedly provides us with a glimmer of hope. As long as we seize this gap, we can effectively avoid its fatal blow and look for opportunities to counterattack. 】
[For the development of the Great Iteration Plan, the Jinchuan Industrial Research Center where the Pacific Front's pro-Moe faction is stationed is very important. Convince them to join us, Comrade General.]
[Mission Objective 1: Establish an outpost on a small island near KA Island]
[Mission Objective 2: Occupy Jinchuan Industrial Laboratory]
[Mission Objective Three: Destroy the Pacific Front troops here]
"It's just like the level of Unshakable that Comrade Wizard commanded, except that the attacker has changed from Su Nien to Ceris." Yun Mo sighed. After that, he opened the control terminal in the command room.
—————Combat control system connected————
"I say, is it really okay for us to place the oil barrels here?" a soldier asked the engineer next to him nervously. They filled the base near the coast of Kagoshima and the outpost on the small island with oil barrels. The densely packed oil barrels looked particularly spectacular, but also made people feel a little uneasy.
The engineer frowned, as if thinking about something. After a while, he slowly said, "Who knows, maybe it's to make it easier to refuel the Kappa tank." After that, he turned and left, leaving the soldier alone in a daze.
At this time, the engineer came to the prepared observation point and said on the radio: "Ghost! Ghost! This is the roundworm. You can move."
"Received a roundworm, remember to stay away. There will be a very beautiful fireworks show next." The person who replied had a relaxed tone, as if he was full of anticipation for what was going to happen next.
As Ghost finished speaking, several black trucks exuding a mysterious atmosphere slowly drove into the main base of the Pacific Front. These vehicles looked ordinary, but in fact they were "Lightbringer" self-destruct trucks developed by the Brotherhood. After being specially disguised, they successfully deceived the eyes and ears of the defenders and were allowed to enter the base as ordinary transport trucks carrying supplies.
At the same time, the Foxtrot fighters and transport planes, as the vanguard, quietly arrived above the defenders. These highly maneuverable aircraft approached the target silently like ghosts. The Foxtrot fighters quickly locked onto the key targets in the base and then dropped batches of special gifts - napalm bombs. These deadly weapons fell like raindrops into the two outposts, instantly causing a sea of fire.
The burning flames spread rapidly, engulfing everything around. The buildings in the base were crumbling in the flames, thick smoke was rising, and the oil drums and ammunition boxes placed everywhere were also detonated by the high temperature to form huge mushroom clouds. The defenders were caught off guard by the sudden attack, and they fled in panic, trying to find a safe place to escape the disaster. However, the fire became more and more fierce, ruthlessly destroying everything that blocked its advance.
At this time, Yun Mo and Ye Erwen, who were watching the battle on the command ship, saw the miserable conditions of the two bases. Ye Erwen couldn't help but sneer: "These Pacific Front dwarfs really should learn how to preserve oil drums and ammunition boxes."
At this time, the transport plane had already airdropped a group of elite infantrymen to the beach. In addition to the basic riflemen and missile soldiers, there were also the Black Hand troops that specialized in anti-infantry and anti-building, and the Eradicators that specialized in anti-infantry and anti-vehicle.
"If Samuel gets this army, she can probably throw the enemy base into chaos." Yun Mo joked in his heart.
At this critical moment, Yun Mo did not slack off. He quickly organized the troops and made full use of the foxholes dug by the riflemen, the emergency bunkers built, and the nearby houses to successfully build a solid line of defense to curb the Pacific Front's counterattack attempt. At the same time, Lyle, who had been paying close attention to the development of the war, specially dispatched a group of Black Hand troops and Saints to set up an ambush on the only way to the Pacific Front's wild master base through the tunnel network established in advance. Led by a Saint Commando, they were like hunters hiding in the dark, waiting for their prey to take the bait.
Faced with such a tense situation, the commander of the Pacific Front showed his outstanding command ability. On the one hand, he decisively ordered the infantry and armored forces to launch a fierce attack on the temporary defense line built by Yun Mo, trying to force these troops into a desperate situation and force them to retreat into the sea; on the other hand, he carefully deployed a group of Kappa tanks and Horizon-class destroyers, and called two teams of Black Hawk fighters for support. Prepare to intercept the Bison transport boat carrying MCV from both sea and air directions. This self-esteemed commander of the cute army showed a smug look on his face, thinking to himself: "Dear Commander Ceris, I want to see how you will deal with this dilemma next!"
At this time, Yun Mo, under the guidance of AI adjutant CABLE, led the Bison transport boat to gradually rush towards Kagoshima under the protection of Yanhuang tanks, Armadillo vehicles, Typhoon submarines, and Sea Wolf gunboats. At this time, Ye Erwen was in charge of the command of the frontline positions established.
"Attention! Enemy navy detected!"
Along with CABLE's cold and emotionless voice reminder, a steel torrent composed of countless Kappa tanks, like a group of ferocious beasts, charged towards Yun Mo's fleet!
"Sorry, this road is blocked!" The awakened ones sitting in the armadillo vehicles said indifferently, and began to quickly operate the various weapons and equipment in their hands, preparing to teach these uninvited guests a severe lesson.
The awakened ones used beam cannons and EMP grenades, two powerful weapons, to launch a fierce attack on the surging Kappa tanks. For a moment, countless dazzling lights and deafening explosions intertwined together, forming a shocking war scene.
In such a fierce exchange of fire, the Kappa tanks that were originally so aggressive could not withstand the powerful firepower of the awakened ones. In less than five minutes, this vanguard had become scattered - some were directly smashed by beam cannons; others lost control after being hit by EMP grenades and fell into the sea, becoming a delicious meal for fish.
However, before Yun Mo could breathe a sigh of relief, a second wave of even larger enemies appeared in front of them. This time, the attack was a fleet of Horizon-class destroyers, which swooped directly towards the Bison transport boat. At the same time, a group of Black Hawk fighters roared past in the sky, bringing even greater pressure to Yun Mo's fleet.
However, at this critical moment, the Yanhuang tanks finally showed their true strength. With a deafening, earth-shaking roar, the Yanhuang tanks' twin railguns began to show their unparalleled strength to the destroyers. After accelerating at an astonishing high speed, the 125mm projectiles rushed straight towards the enemy like whistling meteors. These projectiles carried extremely terrifying kinetic energy, and wherever they went, neither steel nor flesh could withstand their destructive impact. After a round of salvos, several destroyers were easily penetrated, their hulls ruptured, ignited with raging fire, and quickly sank to the cold seabed.
At the same time, the Yanhuang tanks are also equipped with weapon systems such as the Vulcan gun and the Mammoth Tusk missile. These weapons work together with the anti-aircraft guns on the Bison transport boats and the Sea Wolf gunboats to form an airtight, iron-clad anti-aircraft firepower network. This firepower network is interwoven with blazing artillery fire and deadly missiles, forming an indestructible line of defense.
Therefore, facing such a powerful opponent, the Pacific Front fleet seemed a little powerless. They could only rely on the only guns on the ship to fight back, but these counterattacks seemed pale and powerless. Before long, their warships were hit one after another, ignited raging flames, and finally sank into the sea. The few Black Hawk fighters that tried to fight back were not spared either. They were hit in the air and exploded in the dense anti-aircraft fire, turning into dazzling fireballs, dragging long black smoke and falling into the vast sea.
At this time, the fleet finally arrived at the destination, and the Bison transport quickly dropped troops on the island. More than ten sentinel anti-aircraft vehicles, more than ten nuclear cannons, and two MCVs quickly arrived at the battlefield, preparing to build a forward base on the ruins of the two original outposts.
"Bakayarro!!! When did Seris's technology become so advanced?" Looking at the beaten navy fleet, the cute army commander angrily slammed the table.
"No, we must not let them develop peacefully. Send out the army now and drive them back immediately before they can gain a foothold."
However, just as the Pacific Front's ground forces were attacking the frontier positions built by Yun Mo, something unexpected happened! Suddenly, blazing fire snakes shot out from behind them, instantly roasting the soldiers into bacon. At the same time, countless sharp laser beams attacked, accurately hitting the Xuanwu Battle Fortress and Blizzard Tank, smashing them into pieces and turning them into a pile of worthless scrap metal.
Not only that, under the leadership of the Saints Commandos, psychedelic grenades were thrown at the enemy's feet like raindrops. With the sound of dull explosions, the spreading psychedelic smoke quickly caused those unfortunate units to fall into chaos. They began to lose their minds and madly shot at the people around them without distinguishing between friend and foe.
Yun Mo's nuclear cannon arrived at the battlefield at this critical moment. The huge roar of artillery fire was deafening, and with destructive power, it completely defeated the enemy's last line of defense. In the end, this originally aggressive army was surrounded by heavy siege, unable to escape the fate of failure, and could only helplessly declare the annihilation of the army.
Yun Mo also took advantage of the perfect opportunity when the main force of the Pacific Front was completely wiped out, and decided without hesitation to pull the MCV to launch a swift RUSH attack. They quickly arrived near the opponent's base and launched an operation, followed by a typical urbanized tactical deployment. At the same time, Lyle specially detonated the "Light Messenger" that had been arranged long ago to blow up the power plant centrally arranged by the Pacific Front into scrap metal, making the light prism tower of the Meng Army instantly become a pile of useless scrap metal. Not only that, those defensive buildings and garrison troops also suffered a heavy blow. This is undoubtedly worse for the Meng Army, and the situation has become more and more serious. However, Yun Mo at this time adopted a steady strategy, carefully building a line of defense to resist the desperate onboard charge of the Meng Army. The Meng Army commander could only helplessly flee the battlefield in a hurry on the Qianlima transport plane, and was in a mess. When the pro-Meng Army soldiers saw the commander running away, they chose to lay down their weapons and surrender.
Before leaving, the cute army commander wanted to say something harsh on the public channel, but he was scolded back by Cable and Ye Erwen. The commander probably fainted from anger.
At this time, after Yun Mo took over the garrison here, he began to negotiate with the scientists of Jinchuan Industry. Thanks to Yun Mo's amiable tone and the "persuasion" of the awakened, these scientists decisively joined the Great Iteration Plan. Soon these scientists and the technologies they participated in developing will be sent to the newly built research center in Kashmir through a special tunnel network.
As for Yun Mo, due to his outstanding combat achievements, he will be sent to the European battlefield to join the expeditionary force and be responsible for commanding an army group, while Ye Erwen's original salary will be doubled.
"Well, it seems that this is destined. I'm really looking forward to meeting Mengzhi." This was Yun Mo's last thought before boarding the plane.
As for Ye Erwen, she didn't care, as long as she could stay with Yun Mo.
Yun Mo's guards will go to support through the tunnel network that has been prepared long ago. (GLA's super-time tunnel is really awesome)
On the other side of the ocean in North America, the two cute commanders will see the technology of the PsiCorps for the first time.
