Chapter 7 McLean

Looking at the stereo image of the unicorn fortress on the screen, McLean's mouth showed an irrepressible trace of joy.

Everything is as he expected. All defense systems of the fortress are closed, and all access channels are closed. The port berth of the fortress near Chutang is also empty, and there is not even a spaceship.

However, what makes McLean a little uneasy is the "Unicorn Horn" of the super fortress main gun. At this moment, this powerful fortress main gun is extremely quiet, occasionally rising and occasionally closing; although the muzzle is constantly glowing blue, from the perspective of energy detection, it also repeats the actions of charging and releasing. Obviously, so far, Chu Tang has still not been able to control the main gun. Now the New American Fleet has entered the range of the main gun of the fortress, but it has not yet reached the shooting range of the warship's main gun. If Chu Tang could control the main gun, I'm afraid it has begun to charge quickly and is ready to launch.

Turning his eyes, McLean asked, "How long will it take for the nearest Chutang fleet to reach the fortress?"

The instability of the main gun of the fortress has long scared the Chutang fleet moored here to run around. Many fleets have not been detected, and it is estimated that they have run outside the detection range. However, several distant Chutang fleets can still be seen on the screen, and they must have found the New American fleet, which is coming at high speed.

General, judging from the calculation results of the light brain, the nearest fleet is the third local fleet of Chutang Guzhou Star Domain. Their flight speed is very slow, so they fell to the end. If you want to come back, it will take at least half an hour for this fleet. However, it is estimated that in up to 25 minutes, other main fleets will come to support the fortress without overloading the engine.

His adjutant said next to him. McLean smiled faintly and said, "You used a wrong word. They are not here to support the fortress, but to attack. Because when they arrive, they will find that the flag of New America has been planted on this great fortress! The beautiful unicorn fortress will return to the hands of the Federation after 24 years!" After a pause, he looked at the lonely fortress on the screen and raised his voice, "The distance is almost reached. Order the second, third, fifth, sixth and seventh fleets to approach the fortress and prepare to enter the strong attack!" Other fleets surrounded the fortress according to the plan and prepared to resist the Chu and Tang army!"

McLean's order spread throughout the fleet in an instant.

Then, except for the five landing fleets, the other fleets quickly changed their formations and prepared to surround the fortress. The five landing fleets quickly approached the unicorn fortress. When they saw the huge main gun, almost all the officers and soldiers showed a strong sense of fear. Such a powerful main gun, with the density of the current federal fleet, can kill at least one fleet! But now they are still happy in their hearts, because this extremely powerful super weapon has no effect at this moment, just like a tiger that has lost its minions, allowing them to** at will.

"Brothers, go! The unicorn fortress is like a beautiful coquettish woman, who has taken off her clothes and is waiting for our happiness. What are you bastards waiting for?" Wearing a space combat suit and a bearded battleship fighter captain roared, picked up his own Loshed S200 laser gun, patted the button on his side, and suddenly a force surged up from behind and shot him into the small planet made of metal.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of soldiers with various tools and weapons threw warships close to the fortress and flew to the unicorn fortress without any defense. McLean obviously wanted to control the fortress in the shortest time, so he threw down the five fleets with the strongest warship fighters in the federal fleet.

Five fleets, a total of 500,000 battleship fighters and 100,000 mecha fighters! This is already half of all the land combat units of the five fleets.

This number is close to 1.5 times the number of land troops when Chu Tang attacked the unicorn fortress 24 years ago, which is extremely exaggerated for both Chu Tang and the New United States. You know, it is the unicorn fortress attacked by Chu Tang, which is not as undefense as it is now. Almost all weapons are fully open, which is much more difficult. But for the cautious and cunning McLean, the speed and time he needs, if the Chutang fleet has returned before the occupation, the five main fleets have extremely limited air combat effectiveness because they want to support the land forces. Although he is sure to use the remaining other fleets to block the Chutang army, he is cautious. McLean didn't want to take risks, so he invested so many marines.

The battleship fighters who were ejected to the surface of the fortress did not start working immediately. Some people carefully took out their weapons and guarded around. Some battles controlled various instruments and began to explore the surface of the fortress. After a while, someone shouted excitedly, "I found it. The 425 Marine Squadron of the Fourth Detachment of the Seventh Fleet found a passage entrance!"

The federal fleet has put a large number of warships on the surface of the fortress, and there is a team searching in almost every corner. Soon, all 50 entrances of the fortress have been found.

"Well, you can be sure that there is no danger." McLean nodded slowly. Seeing this scene, even McLean, who had always been steady, flashed with excitement in the corners of his eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Let the rest of the troops go up. They don't have to carry weapons. They all bring mechanical tools. They must open the channel within 30 minutes!"

The 500,000 soldiers and 100,000 mecha launched in advance were only used to explore the way!

Looking at McLean, the adjutant felt a little terrled. Even if everyone thought that the fortress had lost the battle, the cautious five-star* still refused to invest all the chips in it. However, this is also good. The remaining troops do not need to carry weapons, and the efficiency of destruction will be improved a lot.

Countless equipment were sent to the surface of the fortress by ejection.

As soon as they got the equipment, including the later soldiers, everyone immediately assembled in an orderly manner. Portable military energy output devices, medium-sized laser cutting devices, directional blasting devices, etc. are quickly assembled one by one. It can be seen that these federal soldiers are extremely strictly trained. Even if they stand on the enemy's most powerful weapons, there is no panic at all, and there is no idle person, all of whom are working in a tense and orderly manner.

As a tool was assembled, the laser cutter was held in the hands of some soldiers and emitted extremely high-temperature laser beams. In this case, the laser cutter that can easily cut off the armor of warships is not fast at all. It can be seen that the new United States has invested many expensive metal alloys to build this invincible fortress.

The soldiers first drew the general range of the entrance armor plate with a laser cutter. Instead of continuous cutting, they cut several meters at each distance. In this way, the speed has been much faster. After a circle, a heavy military mecha swooped down from the sky, and its powerful force immediately knocked away the alloy steel plate with only virtual connection. After a loud noise, countless cheers immediately surged, and the soldiers only roared a few times happily and began to work again.

The passage of the fortress is very long. Even if the shortest one is about kilometers, there will be a layer of extremely strong alloy steel plates every dozens of meters. If you want to open this channel, you must destroy all these alloy steel plates.

This is not an easy task, whether it is Chu Tang or the New America.

Although the new United States attacked a defenseless fortress, it took time to destroy all the alloy steel plate. Chu Tang controlled three channels by the people lurking in the early stage. Although he could not control the weapons in the channel, fortunately did not close the alloy steel plate of the channel. But even so, when Chu Tang last attacked the fortress, within 24 hours, the soldiers who died on the surface of the fortress alone were as high as 140,000, while the soldiers who died in the passage exceeded 200,000.

You can think that if the alloy steel plate and the weapons in the channel all work, it is almost impossible to capture this "unicorn fortress".

Looking at this scene, McLean couldn't help but be glad that he could meet such a good opportunity. In his heart, he is extremely grateful to the person who can provide him with such important information.

At the same time, inside the fortress, Lin Jiaoyang and more than a dozen officers were silently watching the group of federal soldiers who were destroying crazily on the big screen in the conference room.

"How many channels have been destroyed?" Lin Jiaoyang asked without looking back.

There is a light brain behind him, and it is the cloud wing that controls the light brain. Without even looking at it, he immediately replied, "The fastest federal marine has destroyed four doors, and there are still 17 gates left in the shortest passage."

"It's very fast." Lin Jiaoyang said with a smile, which immediately relaxed the tension in the conference room. He asked, "How are the departments within the fortress preparing?"

Yunyi took a brief look on the light brain and said, "All departments are ready to go out at any time."

"Ha ha, don't worry." Lin Jiaoyang smiled and said, "Let those federal people be happy for a while. Anyway, it won't cost much for us to install the cut door again."

The crowd laughed, and an officer suddenly said, "Marshal, the federal fleet is outside, and we can't communicate with other fleets. So can our fleet outside launch an attack in time?

Lin Jiaoyang smiled confidently and said, "Since the federal fleet began to project the first warrior, all the fleets have begun to count down. They also have a copy of this plan, so don't worry. I can say that we will win this battle!"

The officer sighed, "The marshal not only has a far superior vision in military command, but also has such a keen vision in this detail, which is extremely admired by his subordinates! Chu Tang has a general commander like Marshal Lin, so why are you afraid of these clowns in the new United States?

Although this sentence is suspected of slap, everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin Jiaoyang didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly. People like him no longer care about such words.

On the screen, the new American marines continued to destroy the passageway, and doors were cut off one after another. At the beginning, these people also divided some parts to destroy the weapons hidden in the passage, but after the fourth door was destroyed, it seemed that the enemy had determined that the unicorn fortress had indeed lost its ability to fight back and no longer destroyed those weapons. During this period, Lin Jiaoyang kept asking about the degree of damage, and Yunyi also answered one by one.

Finally, when there were still three doors left in the shortest passage, Yunyi reminded: "Marshal, the fleets we used to disguise the enemy will enter the enemy's range in three minutes."

Lin Jiaoyang glanced at the screen, and the seven or eight fleets on it seemed to be crazy. The engines of each warship were overloaded and rushed to the fortress. In the distance, it seems that there are still some fleets moving at high speed. These fleets are all disguised. The front eight fleets are all Guzhou Star Region local fleets. Although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the main fleet, the warships are also eliminated from the main fleet, but the number is the same as the main fleet, which perfectly plays a role in confusing the enemy. The fleets in the distance are just some transport fleets. With the detection technology of the New United States, they can only vaguely see the approximate number and see whether they are a formal fleet. But in this case, especially the eight local fleets used to confuse, the federals will certainly take it for granted that those are the Chutang fleet that rushed to support the fortress.

"Well, I see!" Lin Jiaoyang stood up, and his majestic voice resounded throughout the conference room: "Order to activate all the defense systems of the unicorn fortress, fire with all your strength, and be sure to destroy all the enemy troops landing in the fortress!"

"Order: the first, second, third, fourth and fifth mecha brigades of the fortress, launch an attack on the enemy who landed in the fortress three minutes! Remember, we don't need to be captured!"

"Order: Chu Tang's 12th, 13th, 17th and 21st fleets enter the first-class combat readiness, wait for the mecha brigade to destroy the enemy's land forces, and immediately rush out of the channel and launch a fierce attack on the enemy fleet!"

......

Looking at the Chutang fleet that was about to enter the range, McLean narrowed his eyes slightly. In addition to the five fleets responsible for attacking the unicorn fortress, he also has ten new American main fleets with a total of 100,000 warships. Not to mention that the Chutang Fleet is close, and it is all arrived by using overload engines, and the engine may stop working at any time. Even if all the ten or fifteen Chu and Tang main fleets arrived, he was confident that he would defend to the position of the unicorn fortress.

Moreover, on a warship, he also carries the core of a light brain that completely matches the mainframe of [Kirin]. As long as the fortress is captured and the light brain machine room is captured, after installing this core, the fortress can be activated immediately with a slight modification. These are all plans that McLean has made for a long time.

However, when it can be said to be foolproof, McLean felt something was wrong.

Is there a problem with the fortress? No, it's not. The fortress has not had any counterattack so far, and there should be no problem.

Is there a problem with the fleet? Unlike, these fleets are crazy and don't care about the life and safety of the engine. If it weren't about the ownership of the unicorn fortress, I believe they wouldn't be so desperate.

So, what's the problem?

McLean's brain thought so quickly that he didn't even hear the adjutant report to him several times.

For a long time, he shook his head. It seems that he really thinks too much. There has been no problem in this battle so far. Even if there is a problem, he is sure to exclude the problem from victory. Anyway, the new United States will win this battle!

"There are still a few doors to enter the inside of the fortress?" McLean asked later.

The adjutant immediately returned: "According to the fortress structure map we got, there are two doors to enter the shortest passage. The longest one and five doors. According to the calculation of light brain, it will take no more than ten minutes for the army to attack the fortress.

McLean nodded, but the haze between his eyebrows could not dissipate.

"What?"

Just as McLean was staring at the approaching Chutang fleet on the screen, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately shouted, "Detect the sailing speed of this Chutang fleet immediately!"

The adjutant didn't know why McLean's mood suddenly changed. He immediately tapped the light brain and then reported it to McLean.

"This speed...this speed..." McLean's eyes were vaguely dull. He seemed to think about something, but he was not sure. At this time, his adjutant seemed to find something and shouted, "General, this Chutang fleet has slowed down."

"What!"

McLean rushed to the side of the adjutant with an arrow, looked at the fleet speed shown on his light brain, and suddenly shouted, "Daily, we may have been fooled. None of these fleets is Chu Tang's main fleet! Damn, who can tell me where Chu Tang's main fleet is!"

As soon as his words fell, he heard several sharp sounds of emergency communications on the fleet's communication light brain. Several messengers immediately connected to the communication, and McLean couldn't help running over quickly. He knew that if there was nothing extremely important, no fleet would casually use the emergency communication channel.

"What happened?"

There was a little tension in McLean's voice, and even a trace of... fear.

"General, all the teams sent by the five fleets to attack the fortress channel were attacked. The automatic attack firepower in the enemy channel is extremely strong, and it is difficult for us to resist!"

"How can this be!" McLean's pupils suddenly dilated, and his face was full of unbelievable.

Suddenly, a soldier in charge of the detection system shouted, "General, it is detected that the fortress passage is opening. That is... Oh, my God, there are many mecha warriors!"

The screen changed instantly. From the photographic device carried by the soldiers in the attack channel, McLean could clearly see the walls on both sides of the channel. Countless fire snakes continuously sprayed out, taking the federal soldiers at work off guard and resisting the machine. If there is no meeting, it will be beaten into a sieve in an instant. What frightened him more was that the remaining gates were opened together, and countless mecha soldiers swarmed out of it and rushed to the unarmed federal marines.

They waved a long concussion knife emitting cold light in their hands and rampaged through the passage. Only a few federal marines working in the channel are carrying weapons. Most of the soldiers are manipulating various tools, and the weapons of those federal mecha warriors have not been taken out in time. How can they resist the automatic attack system of the channel and Chu Tang's mecha army? In the channel, it was completely a one-sided massacre. Not only are the number of Chutang mecha soldiers, but also the performance of the mecha is much better than that of the federal mecha. Every federal mecha has to face three to four Chutang mecha. Those Chutang mecha are extremely ruthless and attack the key points. The speed is even very fast, even There is no chance for the federal mecha fighters to surrender.

Less than 30 seconds after the automatic attack system was opened and the Chu Tang mecha army appeared, almost all the federal soldiers in these 20 channels were killed. In addition to a small number of mechas that were still shooting in the dead corner and resisted desperately, only some federal soldiers who fell into the pool of blood and were seriously injured were screaming. Groaned, and soon these voices disappeared. They were either killed by the bullet screen of the automatic attack system or killed by Chu Tang Mecha.

"General...General!"

McLean's eyes were dull, looking at the blood-red screen, and his mind was blank. Half a day later, he woke up. The adjutant next to him shook his body and shouted eagerly, "General, give orders quickly, or all the soldiers we landed on the fortress will die!"

McLean, who came to his senses, knew that he might have been ambushed. Now he hesitated whether to continue to launch the attack or retreat immediately. He did not dare to attack, because he did not know where Chu Tang's main fleet was and when it would appear. But he did not dare to retreat and give his back to the enemy, which was undoubtedly a suicide.

Although McLean is cunning, his consistent command style is cautious. But at the same time, he also has a shortcoming, which is indecision!

If he can send two or three fleets at this time, and the other fleets immediately choose to retreat at high speed, there may be a glimmer of life.

But he didn't. He hesitated.

If he can capture the unicorn fortress, no matter how many fleets are lost, what he will get will be cheers from the whole country! But if he retreats, even if he only loses the one million land soldiers and 200,000 mecha warriors, he will face the accusations of political opponents and the people's scolding, because he failed! In this way, he will no longer be able to continue to sit down in the position of commander-in-chief and * chief. Resignation and retirement is the only way he can choose.

So, he doesn't dare to take risks.

"Order to let the second, third, fifth, sixth and seventh fleets attacking the fortress immediately give up the attack and move to the front of the fortress at full speed to prepare for the defense of the enemy fleet. Order the 8th, 9th and 13th Fleets to launch attacks on the fortress, focus on the first to 10th channels, and use warships and mecha to fight together to destroy all the Chutang mecha warriors in the fortress!"

The adjutant did not hesitate and immediately issued an order.

McLean sighed and prayed in his heart, hoping that the soldiers and mecha soldiers who remained in the fortress could wait for the support of the eight, nine and thirteen fleets.

Now, McLean knows that he has only one fight! The fortress channel is about to open, as long as he can destroy these mecha warriors, even if only capture half of the passage. As long as you can send the core of the light brain into the fortress, there is still a high chance of winning this battle.

However, at this time, the two pieces of information sent by the adjutant made McLean almost faint in the command room as if he had been struck by lightning...
