Chapter 333, Titan is finished
The Phoenix Chapter has been part of this battle from the beginning.
Such a reliable force was certainly impossible for Purbov to ignore.
On the contrary, this is his trump card.
He was able to realize that the Alliance Army had a complete crushing advantage over the enemy in all aspects, except for the Knight Titan.
Let go and let these Knight Titans fight. One Knight Titan can demolish a hundred Lion tanks with no problem.
On the contrary, the alliance's conventional forces are very difficult to threaten these terrible war machines.If you really want to fight head-on, you can only send enough armored troops to serve as "sandbags" for others to hit, and use them as human shields, and then use the tank's armor-piercing cannon and the heavy cannon ejected from the rear to consume the energy of the Knight Titan. Shield until it is broken, then destroyed.
In this process, the losses are simply immeasurable.
From the beginning, Perbov did not want the war to turn into that.
It's also too passive.
If you have the card Space Marine in your hand, you would be a fool not to use it.
However, after discussing with Chapter Commander Martins, he did not immediately put the Phoenixes on the map.
On the one hand, good steel must be used on the blade, so that they do not need to be involved in some ordinary battles; on the other hand, they must also hide their skills to prevent the enemy from noticing them from the beginning and thus being prepared.
Of course, those Knight Titans are on guard.
When a Space Marine appears among his opponents, who can ignore it?
However, maintaining attention requires a 'cost'.When the battle was so intense that they had no time to care, how could they still pay attention to the Space Marines who never appeared on the battlefield?
So, the first victim appeared.
The phoenixes quickly ran out from under the cover of a Lion tank. Although they were less than a hundred meters away from the target, they could reach it in a few seconds with all their strength.
Some people were responsible for suppressing fire and destroying the Sentinel mechas blocking the way, while others quickly broke through.After dodging the subconscious kick from the Knight Titan, he jumped up high, lay on the Titan, applied the hot melt, and left quickly.
The power of the melta bomb is still sufficient, and more importantly, the melta placed close to the body is completely unaffected by the energy shield, and it is easy to destroy a Knight Titan.
After the first one, there is the second one.
Two knight titans who dared to join the battle, the final result was to get the hammer they asked for.The time it took to be destroyed was only 8 minutes.
The remaining four units behind me were really a bit panicked.
In front of them is a surging tank group, followed by a large number of self-propelled artillery.Under the firepower, the four remaining Titans on our side were not in danger for a while, but the troops accompanying them gradually became unable to hold on.
If the strengths of both sides were on the same level, then it would be easy to say; however, during the previous evacuation process, some troops withdrew without knowing where they had gone; some troops simply retreated to the Alliance Army in an extremely eager manner. Under the pursuit, they were bitten and were either eliminated and dispersed, or there was still a fierce exchange of fire.
There were not many conventional troops around them at the moment, and they were even more shaky under the fierce blow.
After the conventional troops collapsed, these four Titans were left to be slaughtered.
Without the assistance and protection of conventional troops, it is very easy for a tall Titan to sneak up to its feet without anyone noticing, pass through the protection of the shield, and then be destroyed.
Originally, this was not easy. After all, the Knight Titan had no ability to protect itself at close range.For conventional means, the Knight Titan's punches, kicks, and melee weapons are all fatal threats.
However, isn't this the figure of a space warrior appearing in front of us?
I saw with my own eyes how two Knight Titans were destroyed. How could they not know how powerful they were?
The risk was too high. They felt that they should not continue fighting and had the idea of retreating.
Before retreating, they aimed at the red figure of the Phoenix and fired several heavy cannons at it.
Not to mention, the Knight Titan's firepower is a threat even to Space Marines.
Within their field of vision, three Phoenixes fell to the ground after being bombarded by the Titan's heavy artillery.
They didn't have time to confirm the target's casualty status. They were just retreating while bombarding the target.
If the Knight Titan wants to retreat, nothing can stop it for a moment.However, the Union army was unable to stand up and pursued them fiercely.
What's even worse is that this will trigger a series of chain reactions.
The regular troops of the Royal Army began to waver more seriously.
Previously, there were six Titans serving as the core of the entire front. Even if they faced the impact of the torrent of steel, they watched the tanks in front of them being destroyed one by one, but they still more or less retained the courage to fight.But now, even two Knight Titans have been broken into pieces, and the remaining four are about to run away, what can they do?
The conventional troops collapsed.
The four Titans had nothing to do about it.
They have tried hard to call on the troops to maintain resistance, but it is still of little use.
Only a very small number of people remained with them and accompanied them in their retreat.
However, the increasingly turbulent heavy artillery and increasingly fierce attacks caused the number of these troops to decrease rapidly.
When the number of these troops was reduced to a certain level, the final general attack began.
They saw that not far away from them, the space was distorted, and dozens of red-armored warriors, only a little above their knees, appeared out of thin air.
The small number of conventional troops accompanying them could no longer stop these Space Marines who suddenly used teleportation to approach.
The Titans projected firepower almost immediately, and some brave men wielded huge gravity fists or giant chain swords to hit the Space Marines.
However, this does not change their ultimate fate.
Of the four Titans, three were damaged in battle and the remaining one surrendered.
And the alliance army, with the power of victory, swept away the defeated army and swept towards the main force of the royal army!
On the contrary, the Wang Guojun on the other side felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water over their heads in the heat!
A few days ago, they were still unstoppable; even though they learned that their retreat was blocked, they did not panic at all.
However, not long after the whole thing happened, they suddenly heard the result that all six Knight Titans were killed in a battle!
The whole army was shocked!
They couldn't even control the news, because the Alliance's artillery fire was getting closer and closer, and everyone could hear it. Standing on a slightly higher hilltop, you could see the Alliance's armored groups in the distance, lifting up the armor as they marched in the wilderness. There were clouds of yellow smoke covering the earth, and red flags could be seen faintly inside, fluttering in the wind.
In front of the Alliance army, the Royal Army was driven and beaten like a lost dog.
What is even more frightening is that he will soon become one of the lost dogs.
The entire encirclement is only sixty kilometers wide and eighty kilometers deep.They won a big victory today, but they won't be able to get there tomorrow, and at the latest the day after tomorrow the barrel of the gun will be stuck in their throats.In this situation, no one can say anything harsh.
How to do?
This question is swirling around the entire Kingdom Army.
The commander-in-chief of the Royal Army has made a decision, which is also the only way to go: to gather all the strength and fight the alliance army to the death.
Otherwise, what else can we do?
They had been so happy in the past eight days, but now they were so frightened.The attack from the front was too smooth. In this area, there was no time to build a position, and the various supplies in reserve were not sufficient.If you want to wait for help, you don't have this condition.
What's more, even if they can hold on, who can come as reinforcements?
All twelve Knight Titans are already here!
Only by fighting to the death and winning can they break out of the encirclement.
The commander-in-chief of the Kingdom's coalition forces has been working hard to encourage the generals of the entire army, especially the drivers of the six Knight Titans.He described the future. As long as this war is won, the backbone of the Alliance army will be broken.It is impossible for them to organize an armored group with thousands of tanks in a short period of time, and such an extremely tragic failure will also greatly shake the alliance's rule over the entire Black Arrow Star.In the rear, those countries that have been occupied by the Alliance will also agitate and resolutely resist...
All in all, the future is bright!As long as we win this final battle!They are all heroes of the whole world!
However, just listen.
These words, at most, only superficially make morale less ugly.
Privately, what are the generals and the noble drivers of the Knight Titan thinking? To be honest, this old marshal who comes from the royal family of the Kingdom of Pampos is not sure at all.
In fact, not to mention others, even he himself, while struggling, murmured a few words to one of the Titan's pilots, a junior who also came from the royal family.
According to him, even when fighting, of course you have to act bravely; but if, in case, you really encounter an overwhelming situation, don't be stupid. Choosing to surrender is not completely unacceptable.
As long as the people are still there and surrender with the mecha, there may be a chance to leave some hope for the royal bloodline as much as possible.
This is already preparing for the worst.
Even the top commanders and the core knights and titans of the entire army have this mentality. How can they win the decisive battle?
On the third day after the Alliance's encirclement was formed, the climax of the second phase of the battle arrived.
The result of this battle was that one of the six Knight Titans escaped - it could not be stopped - three were destroyed, and two surrendered.
There is no doubt that the Royal Army suffered a huge defeat.
Moreover, compared to the alliance's first two active attacks, it was a much bigger defeat.
In the front, Purbov carefully selected and arranged tactics, launched a beautiful pincer offensive, and repeated his old tricks again. He made full use of the armor and firepower advantages of the alliance army, and the total number of soldiers was only 50. The vast majority of the Kingdom's army were just miscellaneous soldiers, and there were a certain number of Sentinel mechas inside. For the Kingdom's army, it was only painful, but it was not considered a strain.
But in the past half month, the result of this battle, which can be called a decisive battle, has been far more than just 'pain'.
This is a devastating loss.
Eleven Knight Titans, a total of more than 900 Sentinel mechas, and a total of 50 troops were either routed, destroyed, or captured...
The Royal Army gathered together to carry out this all-out attack, and it was said that the entire army was annihilated!
This is a disaster for the political situation of the King's Council in the rear.
Did they expect failure?
There must be.
When fighting a war, you always think about losing, and you want to make up for it after losing.
However, none of the ways they had thought of losing were so miserable.
It's just that when attacking the alliance's defense line, it can't be chewed, and it's futile;
The worst-case scenario is that the alliance's armored forces and space warriors counterattack, being beaten to the point of losing their armor.
There is a possibility that some Knight Titans will be lost, and there may be injuries.
but now?It's far from breaking the bones, it's already finished.
In the past four months of fighting, they lost a full 100 million troops and almost all the Knight Titans.
What's more serious is that they lost the confidence to defeat the league.
They knew this war would be difficult to fight.
However, their mentality has now changed.
What most of them think now is that this war cannot be won.
...
Eureka Pampos, who was squatting in the prisoner of war camp, still clearly remembered the situation of the battle a few days ago.
He is the youngest son of the current King of Pampos. He is a knight known as a 'genius'. He is the youngest Knight Titan driver in the kingdom in the past hundred years. He is ranked sixth in the succession sequence established by King Pampos.
But now, he can only squat here, like everyone else - including the most ordinary low-level soldiers who he once didn't even open his eyes to, gnawing unpalatable synthetic starch cubes with cold water, but You must swallow it firmly, otherwise you will really starve to death.
He felt that the thing was turning into a lump in his throat.
It's not that he hasn't endured hardships, and he's not that kind of playboy prince either.Since he was a child, he knew that he could not inherit the throne under normal circumstances, so he inspired to join the army and gained the approval of his father.He endured hardships, fought hard in the army, and received the most rigorous training, and finally achieved his current performance.
But in his life experience, he has never felt hunger.
He has always enjoyed a rich supply of nutrients for training since he was a child.No matter how hard or tiring the training is, a hearty meal afterwards is indispensable.
But in the Union prison camp, he felt it.
It's not that the Alliance intentionally abused the prisoners, but that the Alliance received too many prisoners at once, and there was a problem with the food supply.
In this regard, the alliance's approach was even a bit unexpected for him.
The so-called 'political commissars' in the alliance actually came to the prisoner-of-war camp to do ideological work with the prisoners of war, saying that the current difficulties were only temporary and the problem would be solved soon, so that everyone should not panic, and by the way, they would shoot a few assigned personnel. The prisoner-of-war camp management officers who treated the food unfairly and deducted the prisoners' rations - generally speaking, these were the servant officers from the Kingdom of Luman or the Kingdom of Stefano.
These measures made the alliance's political commissars very popular among the prisoners.
The prisoners listened to the political commissars talking about how people lived on the distant Raging Star, talking about the alliance's policies, and talking about some of the changes that the soldiers had heard about in the Luman Kingdom in the past year...
Prince Eureka discovered that the originally restless and frightened captives miraculously became calm despite the shortage of food!
In the past, this was something he couldn't believe.But now, after it actually happened before his eyes, he was thoughtful.
After being defeated and captured, he always wondered why the Royal Army seemed so powerful but still lost in the end.
Until now, he didn't understand the reason, but at least he thought of part of it.
