Chapter 596, Battle of Betrayal

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Mengsong was sweating profusely.

He didn't feel it before, but when he really faced it, he found out, Fury Flame... How could it be so strong?

Isn't it just a regiment beaten by the Phoenix?

Could it really be his regiment... Impossible! I don't believe it!

Fifteen minutes ago, Fury Flame and New World Torch officially fell out, and the Fury Flame regiment took action directly.

Not only the soldiers of both sides on the valley plain, but Fury Flame also arranged firepower in the mountains next to it.

This is indeed a Hongmen Banquet, and Paulitus had no good intentions from the beginning.

It's not just the Space Marines, they also mobilized some troops from the rebels. They are definitely not the opponents of the Space Marines in frontal combat, but they can use them to operate artillery and conduct long-range bombing. The firepower points are arranged from more than ten kilometers to dozens of kilometers away, and it is not realistic for the New World Torch to deal with it.

Of course, Wang Mengsong must have come prepared.

He had already judged that Paulitus had bad intentions and was ready to surrender and backstab him, so how could he rashly come to the appointment?

When Paulitus drew his sword, Wang Mengsong took out his gun first.

The explosive firepower covered Paulitus first.

When the leader of the Fury Flame War rushed out of the firepower network and slashed with a sword, he encountered a dark green sword in Wang Mengsong's hand.

In the three confrontations in an instant, Wang Mengsong hit Paulitus's fatal points with every move, but never cared whether he would be cut by the power sword.

Under this attitude of exchanging lives, Paulitus should not be afraid.

But in fact, he was afraid.

His sword cut Wang Mengsong; but the dark green weapon cut him and almost took his life.

The gap between the two in weapons was too huge.

He had heard of phase weapons, but this was the first time he faced them in person.

He knew that Wang Mengsong himself did not have such a weapon.

Only the Alliance had it.

It was needless to say who gave this sword.

Paulitus had already made an estimate in his mind, otherwise he would not have invited Wang Mengsong to the Hongmen Banquet.

Originally, he just wanted to take down Wang Mengsong, the hidden danger, to deal with this friendly war leader who was wavering in his mentality, and hold the New World Torch in his hands. In order to achieve this goal, he did not even want to kill him at first, but just put him under house arrest.

Until he knew that Wang Mengsong was bringing the whole group to the "banquet", he felt very heavy.

Distrust was already on the table.

He just hoped that everything was still in time.

However, he was decisive enough, but... Wang Mengsong was even more decisive than him.

Looking at the phase weapon, everything was very clear.

Paulitus did not entangle with Wang Mengsong to decide the winner.

In his opinion, Wang Mengsong's strength was just so-so. As a warband leader, he could be considered a warband champion.

But the problem was that he was also one of the strongest men in Fury after that bloody fight, but before that, he was not the best in Fury.

Compared with Wang Mengsong, the two were equally matched.

But if the difference in weapons was taken into account, his chances of winning were not high.

Wang Mengsong did not get too entangled. After Paulitus retreated, he, who was less injured, retreated to his warband.

Under fire, he led the team to retreat into the mountains.

In this battle, his New World Torch was definitely the one who suffered.

Not only did they suffer in terms of numbers and firepower, but they were also completely at a disadvantage in terms of terrain. Just to retreat back to the mountains, they sacrificed more than a dozen people.

But this was just the beginning.

Six hundred wrathful flames were pressing upward, artillery fire was hitting their heads, and there were at least three hundred wrathful flames ambushing around them, surrounding them from all directions.

No matter how you look at it, it was a posture of total destruction.

If it was up to Wang Mengsong himself, he would definitely not do this job.

Come here to die?

But... this is the request of the alliance.

As a surrenderer, what room for bargaining is there for him to win the recognition of the governor, to prove his worth, and to get better treatment after surrendering?

He could only come with gritted teeth.

Of course, the alliance could not say "you go and kill the wrathful flames".

Everyone knew that they did not have that strength.

The mission of the New World Torch was just to attract the enemy firmly with a certain sacrifice.

After he informed Grit that he was coming to see Paulitos, the head nun of the Holy Lily of Mercy asked him to keep the appointment and asked him to hold on for at least fifteen minutes.

At the same time, the Holy Lily, the Glory Guards, the Alliance Army, the Alliance Navy...all the forces that Grit could mobilize were already being mobilized.

But they couldn't be too loud to avoid being noticed.

Fortunately, the secrecy operation didn't need to last too long. After Paulitus and Wang Mengsong fell out, they could move forward at full speed.

However, it would take a little more effort for the New World Torch.

Although they were at a disadvantage in all aspects, they were at least 300 Space Marines. It shouldn't be a problem to hold out for 15 minutes? There wouldn't be too many deaths, right?

Not necessarily.

Even though they had made preparations in advance, they still lost more than a dozen warriors just to withdraw from the firepower coverage of the Fury.

You know, in the past six months of guerrilla warfare, the New World Torch has only sacrificed about fifty people.

But the sacrifice has just begun.

Huanyue is not a place with a particularly good natural environment. There are no dense forests on the rolling mountains, but strange boulders and pits of varying depths.

This certainly provides some cover, but it is better than nothing.

They still have to face long-range bombing and the raging flames coming from all directions.

The New World Torch, which lacks room for maneuver, is forced to face its former comrades with swords under the worst conditions.

Oh, they are not unfamiliar with this, after all, they did it once a few years ago.

However, their numbers are still decreasing rapidly without being able to make up for the disadvantages in all aspects.

However, in just ten minutes, more than thirty people fell.

The total number of sacrifices has exceeded the guerrilla warfare in the past six months.

More importantly, the morale of the regiment is completely gone.

Are the warriors of the New World Torch born rebels?

Not really.

Betrayal and backstabbing are always dishonorable.

If it was like the time when they backstabbed and killed thousands of Blood Rose Battle Sisters and another regiment on Tianyuan VI, it would be fine. After all, they were the absolute advantage in that battle, and the feeling of uneasiness did not affect the victory of the prolonged battle.

But now, they are not only the betraying party, but also the disadvantaged party, which makes it even more difficult to hold on.

In just ten minutes, more than 15% of the warriors were lost, which is secondary. The more important thing is that the entire regiment's front line is actually about to be broken.

This is something Wang Mengsong did not expect.

He thought that no matter how difficult the situation is, they are at least 300 Space Marines, so it should be no problem to hold on for fifteen minutes, right?

Now it seems that after fifteen minutes, their front line will collapse. Of course, not everyone will be killed by then, but when the reinforcements of Grit arrive, how many people of the New World Torch, who are surrounded and suppressed, have collapsed their front line, and are divided and strangled everywhere and unable to escape, can survive until after the war?

Wang Mengsong felt cold in his heart.

But fortunately, things took a turn for the better in the tenth minute.

It wasn't that Grit's support arrived, even if she tried her best, it wouldn't be that fast.

It was the firepower sent by the Alliance warships in the Phantom Moon orbit.

At the moment of falling out, Wang Mengsong asked for help. He sent out the coordinates. Except for the rocky area planned by him and his warriors, all the rest were within the attack range.

The old men of the navy still and never like to make meaningless attacks on the surface.

But the current situation is obviously not the case.

Although the coordinates given are coordinates that cannot be attacked, the attack coordinates are a vast mountainous area, but it is clear that there are a large number of enemy space warriors in this area, so it's easy to say.

What's more, it's worthwhile to fight this round just to save the lives of hundreds of space warriors.

In order not to affect the New World Torch, the warships in the sky did not use weapons with too large a bombing range, but only selected two types of weapons, light spears and missiles, to carry out this ground support mission.

The range of the light spear is actually small, and it will not cause a violent explosion after hitting the ground - the explosion of the destroyed target is another matter.

But that does not mean that the light spear cannot do ground support.

Dozens of light beams of varying thickness fell from the sky, irradiated the ground, and began to sweep back and forth in a certain area. The rock surface that was irradiated was quickly burned, exploded, and melted. There was nothing intact left in the area swept by the light spear.

No matter how agile and agile the Space Marines are, they can't hide from the light.

Of course, the light spear is accurate enough, but unfortunately, the starships staying in orbit cannot lock on to the Space Marines moving around in the mountains and give accurate strikes. Only three or five were really killed. The greater role of the light spear sweep is deterrence and intimidation, covering an area and making the enemy dare not come in easily.

This almost surrounded the area designated by Wang Mengsong.

Then, the missiles that fell can have a larger bombing effect.

With the area marked by Wang Mengsong as the center, the surrounding area of ​​40 kilometers is all within the bombing range. The "Sky-Splitting Axe" smashes towards the edge of the range, responsible for large coverage and strong damage; the scalpel is used to hit the surrounding area near the New World Torch to avoid accidental injuries.

In the fierce bombing, the earth is shaking.

Even if they are accurately avoided, the soldiers of the New World Torch still have to bury their heads and hide in the bunker to avoid being hurt by the shock waves and flying boulders that are too close to some bomb points.

However, the Fury, who is in the bombing range, actually continues to attack under such firepower!

In fact, it is a reasonable reaction. Although they don’t know what the coordinates sent by Wang Mengsong are, the probability of being bombed when mixed with the New World Torch is low.

But the right decision is easier said than done?

The New World Torch couldn’t do it, so it suffered a big loss.

Wang Mengsong was furious, and he was really disappointed with his regiment for a moment.

But this is his regiment after all.

He charged forward while swaying in the shaking of the earth; amid the violent explosions, he screamed with all his might, letting his voice reach the helmets of every New World Torch through the communication channel:

"Fight! Fight! New World Torches are not cowards! We fight for survival! Only those with courage can survive!"

As the commander of the war group, his shouting... can only be said to be somewhat useful.

The warriors of the New World Torch still moved, although they were a little hesitant.

The only ones who could really stand firm were his personal guards and several company commanders, a total of only more than 30 people.

However, with their brave fight, they still blocked the impact of the orbital bombardment against Fury.

Fury is not a superman, and there are only a few people who can launch a counterattack under such circumstances.

What's more, Paulitus wanted to retreat.

If Wang Mengsong was not captured and his war group was not quickly eliminated, there would be no chance.

Now, the orbital bombardment was falling, so what's next?

Those annoying battle sisters and the Glory Guards must have set off on their way in fighter planes. They must have been on standby in the fighter planes for a long time, and once the battle broke out, they would come at full speed. The elite deployed within 200 kilometers, including the time for takeoff and acceleration, it is estimated that it will not take more than fifteen minutes to arrive here.

If we don't retreat now, when will we?

Even if they could handle a few of the assaulting battle sisters and honor guards, the next thing they would have to deal with might be the paratroopers of the Marines that dropped from orbit;

If they could even handle this, then what would come next would be the large Alliance Army forces that surrounded the entire mountain area.

The more they fought, the less hope there was.

The best strategy was to retreat quickly and break through quickly.

However, at this moment, Paulitos had seen fighter planes breaking through the air from the smoke and dust that had not dissipated from the orbital bombing.

These wind falcons and unicorn fighter planes bombed missiles from the air, continuing to suppress the angry space warriors from raising their heads. At the same time, the elite warriors of mortals quickly airdropped.

After emptying the soldiers inside, half of the fighter planes returned, probably to carry more people; while the other half of the fighter planes still refused to leave, hovering in the air, and the machine guns on them madly poured firepower on the ground to assist the airborne sisters and guards to advance.

Fury lost some people in the bombing just now, but the casualties were not as serious as expected.

The survivability of Space Marines is still very strong.

They have strong fighting instincts and know where to hide. Even if it is a carpet bombing, it is not true that all places are covered in one second. There are always places that cannot be covered.

Moreover, the powerful protective ability of power armor also allows them to survive when they are not hit directly.

But dizziness is inevitable.

Under the cover of air force missiles and machine guns, the Battle Sisters and the Glory Guards successfully reunited with the New World Torch.
