Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 140 Flanking Battle Annihilation War

Under rapid grenade fire, after a brief period of panic, enemy units used medium-sized units as cover while smaller units began to retreat, preparing to engage in anti-aircraft fire under the flank fire and grenade attacks.

Due to the presence of trees, the direct fire from the blocking positions was ineffective. Through the command node's coordination, various teams emerged from behind cover, intersecting with the flank fire to continuously suppress enemy units and disrupt their movements.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the medium-sized individuals abandoned their cover for the smaller individuals and, relying on their relatively large size, withstood the firepower of the Gauss rifles and began to charge towards the center of the camp.

However, the enemy's movements were entirely under the control of the unmanned combat swarm. Images captured by the drones were uploaded to the self-organizing network, and after analysis, the unmanned combat swarm discovered the enemy's intentions.

They planned to surround one of the medium-sized individuals with four medium-sized individuals, using the lives of these four medium-sized individuals to ensure the life of the medium-sized individual in the middle.

After making the assessment, the firepower of the unmanned combat group became more concentrated and its targeting became more specific.

The firepower that was originally spread across the five medium-sized individuals was concentrated on two medium-sized individuals, using concentrated firepower to hold them back or slow them down.

In the blink of an eye, within milliseconds, the dynamics of the battlefield changed.

With the order for concentrated fire from the unmanned combat group issued, the two medium-sized individuals targeted by the concentrated fire lost their ability to move in an instant.

To ensure absolute success, the Gauss rifles on the sniper positions also began firing, using the powerful penetrating force of the 8mm steel spikes to break through trees that obstructed the view and tear open a passage to the center of the battle.

As the tree fell, two 120mm multi-purpose rockets were fired from the sniper position, aimed directly at the enemy's assembly point.

The first 120mm multi-purpose rocket successfully struck a medium-sized individual that was hurtling towards it, sending sparks flying and steel balls flying everywhere. In addition to repelling this individual, it also successfully blocked the remaining two medium-sized individuals that were hurtling towards it.

The second 120mm multi-purpose rocket was affected by the blast wave from the first rocket's explosion, causing its trajectory to deviate slightly. It flew past the medium-sized individual that had been knocked back and struck a small to medium-sized individual behind it.

At that moment, the first wave of 60 anti-tank loitering munitions had descended to an altitude of 2 kilometers, and their dive speed exceeded the specified 360 kilometers per hour, reaching 420 kilometers per hour again.

At this moment, the medium-sized individual, which had been knocked back by the rocket, forcibly stabilized its body and pointed the medium-caliber electromagnetic cannon on its back towards the sky.

With a buzzing sound, a 130mm iron projectile flew into the sky. Then, the projectile split in the sky, and the area covered by its fragments was similar to a circle with a diameter of 7 meters.

Seconds later, a series of explosions rang out, and a total of 5 anti-tank loitering munitions disappeared from the data link.

As the explosions echoed through the air, the small individuals still struggling on the ground began to change their behavior.

They began trying to bury themselves in the ground to avoid the harassment team's attacks, and then tried to use the electromagnetic guns on their arms to fire at the air.

However, by this time, the harassment team had completed its delaying work, and the aerial smoke screen laid before the current time had a duration sufficient for all loitering munitions to complete their strikes.

As the commander gave the order, smoke grenades flew out from the launchers that had been adjusted to the correct angle, creating a wide and thick wall of smoke diagonally above the enemy formation.

However, before the loitering munitions complete their strike, the airdrop team needs to continue suppressing these struggling enemy units to ensure they don't stray too far from their positions.

Subsequently, the unmanned combat units in the airdrop group automatically grouped themselves within the self-organizing network, automatically assigned targets, and the steel spikes fired from the gun barrels were aimed at the limbs of individual enemies.

The dense steel nails pierced the limbs of the enemy, successfully affecting their movement speed.
