Dimensional Alliance

Under the continuous and in-depth cleaning of Tiberium ore by the human coalition forces, even though the human coalition forces have increased the space fleet construction plan by five times, because the production capacity of the human coalition fleet has reached the upper limit, all kinds of Tiberium refined products are still serious. Surplus, instead of having a headache how to store these dangerous items, it is better to consume them below the normal inventory as soon as possible.

The only downside to this program is that it is too slow.

Even with the help of the MCV, the advance distance of the human coalition forces is less than [-] kilometers per day. This is based on the whole of Europe as the background of the battlefield. This advance speed is basically similar to that of a turtle crawling.

But the United Nations Army is not yet ready to oppose the plan of the Human Alliance.

In addition to the strength demonstrated by the human coalition forces through a series of actions such as MCV and the rescue of prisoners of war, since the human coalition forces arrived in this world, the simultaneous abnormal actions of the imitators can also indirectly prove the deterrence of the human coalition forces.

As of the afternoon of January 1, for the first time, the United Nations Army had not fought any imitators for more than 11 hours. More importantly, since the human coalition forces came to this world, not only have they not been encountered by the United Nations Army. I have seen the active attack of the imitators, and when the human coalition forces sent troops to rescue the United Nations forces, the imitators had to evade in advance.

The various behaviors of the imitators seem as if they already know that there is no chance of winning with the human coalition forces, and they are deliberately avoiding meaningless confrontation with the human coalition forces.

Facts speak louder than words. No matter how much the United Nations Army—especially some European troops want to drive the imitators out of their homes, they have to admit that, at least from the perspective of strength, they have not yet vetoed the suggestion of the Human Alliance Army Emboldened.

——especially when this suggestion seems to be more reliable than orders such as "Normandy Landing Battle".

It's just that no matter what the countries of this world think of the Human Alliance, the Human Alliance is very disturbed that the imitators have never made any movement.

Although in other timelines that Cage "saw", the human coalition forces could rely on the defense base and the space fleet to fight head-on with the imitators without losing the wind, and Cage explained to the human coalition forces that the imitators could send a large number of After the troops raided from the ground, the human coalition also built a large number of induction towers and earthquake generators to fill in all the loopholes that the human coalition could find.

But in other directions, although it has received the support of the MCV of the human coalition and the space force, it would be really strange if the imitators didn't even send any small-scale troops to harass.

Not to mention other things, at least the United Nations Army in this world does not have the ability to directly use the portal to pull a telephone line to maintain communication after being disturbed by electromagnetic interference, as long as the imitators place those subordinate units with electromagnetic interference capabilities in the Around the United Nations Army front, it is enough to consume the energy of the United Nations Army, making them restless for a long time.

Soon, the human coalition knew where the unease came from.

three days later.

At 1:14 a.m. on January 6th, when the fortress of the human alliance was about to be built on the coast of Belgium, the imitators bypassed the detection of the British and American interception fleet from the bottom of the sea and launched a landing operation on England.

At 1:14 on January 6, London, which lacked defensive forces, fell, and fourteen cities in England were ignited by war.

Volume 986 The Battle of Time: Chapter 0953 Chapter [-] The British Showdown

0953

Until England was attacked, people in this world did not know that the imitator had the ability to attack across the sea.

The imitators pushed the front line to the coast three years ago, forcing the United Nations Army on the northern front to rely on Denmark's narrow terrain to lay out defenses. However, the prerequisite for this line of defense to be established is that the imitators cannot Sea attack capability, otherwise the imitator only needs to cross the Heligoland Bay to stab the back of the United Nations Army from the rear.

Therefore, when this line of defense was established, the German remnants, Polish remnants and troops from the Nordic countries deployed here walked on thin ice for a long time. Until a year passed, the northern troops discovered that the imitators were only attacking the human defense line , After never attacking their rear, the troops here are a little more at ease.

With the precedent of the Danish defense line, even though the occupied area now borders the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea, the United Nations Army did not deploy too many anti-landing troops in the corresponding coastal areas when deploying the defense line, or it can be said that other than cruising on the sea Except for the fleet on board, the United Nations Army did not invest many troops on the coastline at all.

In the timeline that William Cage once experienced, the imitators attacked England immediately after destroying the Normandy landing force. On the other hand, if he wants to explain why he knows that the imitator has the ability to land across the sea, it will inevitably reveal that he was actually a deserter once, and this is what Cage subconsciously wanted to do. to avoid.

Therefore, in the communication between Cage and the human coalition forces, Cage did not take the initiative to explain the relevant situation to the human coalition forces, and under the influence of the intelligence provided by the United This misinformation about sea capabilities” also fails to pay attention to defenses around the coastline.

Of course, in addition to the fact that the imitators have never shown the ability to cross the sea, the stretched strength does not allow the United Nations Army to maintain too many troops on the coastline.

At present, only the eastern defense line composed of Lucia and the Xia Kingdom Expeditionary Force can maintain a large frontal defense line, and the defense lines at all other positions are set in relatively narrow positions to reduce the possibility of loopholes in one's own defense. And relying on these long and narrow terrains, it weakens the force advantage of the imitators.

If human beings are to fill every coastline with soldiers, neither manpower nor ammunition can support it.

This directly led to a huge loophole in the urbanization plan formulated by the human coalition forces and the United Nations. Go down and bypass the defense line of the human alliance.

What is even more frightening is that more than four days have passed between the imitator dying down and suddenly launching an attack on England. God knows how many troops the imitator transferred to the sea during this period.

It was possible that the full force of the Mimics was attacking England, but it was also possible that there were millions of Mimics hiding under the water, or already circling into the weakly defended human rear.

Even though the sea water is likely to cause some damage to the imitator's metal body—otherwise the imitator would not have tried to carry out cross-sea attacks until now—but before the imitator's movements can be found out, all plans must be redrawn, and all defense lines All need to be reset, and all rear coastal cities need to be evacuated immediately.

And no matter how much troops it takes to deploy anti-landing forces on the coastline, human beings must grit their teeth and persevere. Although the human coalition forces say that they can help deal with some threats on the coastline, the remaining holes that need to be filled by the United Nations are enough. It makes people look pale.

At present, only the beautiful country, Xia country, Tianzhu and Ottoman, which still have complete industrial capabilities and have not been devastated by the war, can provide such huge soldiers and equipment.

However, Ottoman, which has a long coastline and borders both the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, itself faces the threat of imitator landing troops. Even if reinforcements from the Middle East are included, Ottoman cannot guarantee that he can control these two sea areas.

However, Tianzhu's manpower is sufficient, but because the education quality of Tianzhu's soldiers is generally low, except for light infantry, it is difficult to provide sufficient technical arms and lacks the ability to fight independently.

Therefore, after discussion, the Tianzhu troops will be deployed in the Ottoman area to assist Ottoman in consolidating their own defense lines, while the pressure on the sea defense missions around the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea will all fall on Xia and the Beautiful Country. At the end of the meeting, the delegates had a very bad face.

But no matter what they were thinking, the two countries took up this task without any hesitation. It can be seen that in the next few weeks, the human coalition forces will be in the midst of emergency mobilization.

Even if the Human Coalition Forces can provide the United Nations Army with portals to transfer troops and supplies, complete control of the coastline is enough to completely empty out the military forces of the two countries. The difficulty of this level of military transfer is not A few hundred more portals can solve it immediately.

More importantly, when adjusting the defense line, it is also necessary to fully consider the ability of the imitator to go back in time. The troops deployed at each position must be cautious, otherwise it is very likely that a certain troop has just arrived at the coastline. In a few hours, the human coalition received the news that this unit had been encircled and wiped out.

But this is exactly the opposite of the current urgent status quo.

When it is not clear whether the imitator has hidden soldiers on the seabed, or whether the imitator will launch a cross-sea attack on other cities in the future, no matter what the price is, humans must immediately fill up all the holes on the coastline. stand up.

In addition, unlike in the Ming world, where Ming and New Britain were evenly matched at sea, only the beautiful country in this world can provide shore support fleets (the Japanese and Korean fleets have been merged), although Xia, Lucia and other countries can However, whether it is the Green Sea Fleet composed of a large number of empty submerged blocks in Xia Kingdom, or the "antiques" left by Lucia from the last century, it is not suitable to bypass the Atlantic Ocean to support Europe.

Even after the establishment of the United Nations Army, the size and tonnage of the Xia Kingdom's navy experienced a blowout growth, but on the one hand, most of Xia's industrial energy was used to produce various equipment needed by the United Nations Army's ground forces , it is difficult to pour more resources into the navy. On the other hand, after all, the development of the Xia Kingdom's navy is still relatively weak. If ships are produced too quickly, there will be a waste of ships and no one.

This makes every step taken by the United Nations army feel like walking on thin ice, and any wrong step may lead to a deep abyss.

In order to ensure that the United Nations Army can obtain sufficient security guarantees during the construction of the defense line, the human coalition forces have to provide cover for most of the air and space warships around these coastlines until these areas can be determined to be fully controlled by humans.

Since the main energy of the United Nations Army is put on how to make up for the loopholes in the ocean defense line, when all countries are actively coordinating the forces to readjust the defense line, the rescue mission to England can only be handed over to the human coalition forces.

------

Before the imitator revealed that he had the ability to attack across the sea, England's geographical environment surrounded by the sea made it the only paradise in Europe that was not affected by the flames of war. When the Isle of England launched a full-scale attack, the Isle of England was in flames in just half an hour.

The island of England is not without defenders. In addition to the local garrison, the United Nations Army also has hundreds of thousands of troops withdrawn from Normandy to dispatch.

However, the imitator troops that attacked England Island this time did not seem to have any intention of having a large-scale conflict with the human army. They did not send any troops around the UN. The water system connected to the ocean launched an attack on the inland city-even at the scale of the imitation that the human coalition forces observed from the satellite, it would not cost too much to eat the chaotic United Nations.. Army.

Yes, confusion.

Although the Human Coalition Forces had already shared the information about the imitator’s ability to go back in time to the United Nations Army on January 1, the United Nations Army only informed the commanders above the brigade level of this information, and did not fully understand it. public.

Therefore, in the eyes of the vast majority of soldiers who participated in the Normandy landing battle, they risked their lives to land, and then they stayed on the Normandy sea for less than twelve hours before the expansion of the landing site was completed. He was ordered to return home again.

The key point is that there is no reasonable explanation from the superiors for this mindless order. Naturally, the soldiers can only make random guesses about the anticlimactic actions of the United Nations Army based on what they know.

Guessing that the troops on the western front going to Luxembourg suffered heavy losses, so that the commander of the United Nations Army was frightened. The brainless action is entirely because the United Nations.. Army never thought that the Normandy landing battle could win. The United Nations.. Army actually wanted them to go to Normandy to die in the first place.

As for if the UN.. had a reason to do this... who cares?Anyway, as long as there is a sufficiently shocking rumor, as long as no one interferes with it, then the rumor will inevitably spread quickly.

Coincidentally, this western front force is basically composed of a small number of veterans and a large number of recruits who have only received training for a few months. It is difficult for these young people who have hurriedly set foot on the battlefield to tell whether a certain news is a rumor or not. It is not surprising that the morale of the troops has plummeted and the discipline of the troops is chaotic.

When the imitators landed on the island of England at 14 o'clock on the 6th, harsh alarms and broadcasts had already sounded in this unit's garrison, but until the first airborne capsule of the human coalition forces smashed into the blood-soaked London, this unit did not Only two brigades of mobile units were formed in a panic. It seems that there is no need to have too much hope for this unit during the Battle of England.

On the contrary, the offensive of the imitator troops was completely unexpected and violent. Southampton, Bletcher, York, Glamorgan... many cities facing the sea or river were killed an hour before the imitators landed. It has been completely lost, and for these fallen cities, in addition to quickly massacring civilians who had no time to evacuate, the imitators also focused a lot of energy on destroying the farmland and industrial facilities in and around the city.

Before dawn on the 14th, the central and southern parts of England were already illuminated by a raging sea of ​​fire, but amidst the desperate sea of ​​fire, the remaining England Royal Guards fought back tenaciously relying on the city.

Affected by the European war, the Guards Division defending the British mainland has a total of 6000 people, accounting for one-twentieth of England's total mobilization.

Under its jurisdiction are six brigades, two independent artillery brigades, one air defense brigade, one mechanized special warfare brigade, and several independent brigades and regiments, as well as three army aviation brigades.

In addition to being fully equipped with the latest exoskeletons, the Royal Guards Division also has a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery, with firepower several times stronger than most of the United Nations military division-level troops.

However, considering that the so-called "Guardian Division" itself has the strength of these three reinforced divisions, in the view of the human coalition forces, "only" has this support firepower, and the firepower blockade it can form is still a little weaker. .

Of the English Guards, 1 men were permanently stationed around London, and more than 2 more were stationed in Exeter and Yorkshire—both industrial centers that had been attacked by imitators.

But even if the Royal Guards of England have very fierce firepower, these aliens who are better at digging holes than the Zerg can still bypass the frontal defense line of the Royal Guards of England and start from the side or other positions of the Royal Guards. attack.

If it weren't for the fact that the human coalition forces immediately deployed ion cannons and earth-orbiting platforms to carry out several rounds of orbital bombing of the area where the imitators were concentrated after learning the relevant information, and blocked the passage of the imitators attacking the defenders of England with firepower, I am afraid that at this moment England Island There is not much resistance left in the world.

However, the imitators are also very afraid of the space support firepower of the human coalition forces. Except for less than one tenth of the troops who will conduct long-distance maneuvers in the wild, most of the other imitators are huddled in the cities or around the people who fled the cities in England Wandering, so that the space firepower of the human coalition forces cannot be used most of the time.

However, in order not to follow in the footsteps of other European countries whose lands were completely occupied and their citizens became refugees, even if England’s long and narrow land is not deep enough to maneuver, it is impossible for the English troops to deploy in advance to target The defense line of the imitators, but even if it is a close-range encounter with the imitators outside the city, the England Royal Guards, whose faces are covered with blood, have been carrying it to death.

The battle in London was even more brutal.

Volume 987 The Battle of Time: Chapter 0954 Chapter [-] The British Showdown

0954

As the capital and population center of England, London was attacked by imitators earlier than other coastal cities in England, and the scale of imitators attacking here was also larger than other cities, which directly caused more than 1 defenders stationed in London to fall from sleep In the middle of the day, he was awakened by the alarm and put on the exoskeleton to prepare to meet the enemy. The imitators have swept half of London.

Of the three brigades deployed by the Royal Guards here, two are located outside the city and one is located around Buckingham Palace in England. However, this brigade responsible for defending the British royal family has only completed the preparation of less than a quarter of its troops. The attackers had already rushed into their garrison, setting off a rain of blood among them.

At 1:14 on January 6, shortly after the Guards Division’s resident was besieged by imitators, London Airport was attacked by imitators. In the panic of the airport staff, all aircraft targets in the airport were destroyed. , even airport runways and aprons were rendered unusable by the imitators.

Then all the transportation hubs and communication links in the city of London and its surrounding areas were also paralyzed in the attack of the imitators. These aliens who are good at digging are also good at destroying human ground infrastructure. By 6:40 , The city of London has been basically isolated by the imitators, which further increases the difficulty for the English Guards to rescue the capital.

By the time the troops outside the city hurriedly joined the battle, all the defenders in the city who were first attacked by the imitators had died, even the guards on duty in the England Royal Palace were not spared, although the rescue of the England Royal Family is still the top priority of the Guards Division , but no one has any hope that the members of the English royal family are still alive.

At this time, the imitators had spread all over the streets and alleys of London, and they attacked all the civilians trying to escape from the city with impunity. What's worse, when the battle broke out, most of the civilians were still asleep. When they were awakened by the sound of fighting in the city, imitators had filled all the main roads in London.

All attempts to leave the hiding buildings are tantamount to suicide. Except for those buildings with underground shelters, most civilians just stay at home, tremblingly waiting for the final sentence of fate.

But home does not mean safety. Even if the imitator does not know how many residents are hiding in a specific building, after completely suppressing the resistance in London, the imitator can already break into various buildings in London. , Once discovered by these aliens, unarmed civilians can't stop the killing of imitators at all.

If those civilians hiding in their homes are lucky, they may still survive. Hospital wards, school dormitories and other places where people are concentrated and difficult to move quickly have become a purgatory.

Even though England has built enough safe houses for everyone under these important facilities, it is difficult for students who are awakened or patients with limited mobility to quickly complete the transfer, and most people have not yet been able to enter the safe house. The goal Clear imitators had already made their way into the evacuated crowd, and if the operator in charge of closing the safe house doors hesitated for a moment, there would not be anyone in the entire facility who would have survived.

At 6:55, in just 20.00 minutes of fighting, the population of London dropped by [-]%, and there is still no sign of stopping.

During this period, the guard divisions that arrived outside London have been trying to launch a counterattack to the city of London. They rushed inward along the main road of London from two directions, one south and one north, and wiped out the imitators along the way. Attempt to escort surviving civilians in the controlled area out of the city.

However, the advancing speed of the Guards Division was far from ideal. The battle continued until 7:20, and the Guards Division only advanced a little over four kilometers inward. The number of civilians that could be saved and the huge population base of the City of London It's a drop in the bucket in comparison.

However, the price paid for the rescue of these civilian guards was not insignificant. In just five kilometers of road, more than 3000 guards had fallen.

The Guards fought so hard in London. Apart from the inferior strength, at least half of the reason was that the city of London was crowded with a large number of civilians who had evacuated in a hurry, which made them unable to use weapons of mass destruction, and even artillery and armor. It is difficult for the troops to come in handy, and they can only fight with the imitators on a street and a building wearing an exoskeleton.

Even though [-]% of the soldiers in the Guards Division are veterans who have experienced at least two large-scale battles, according to the standards of the human coalition forces, their shooting and close combat abilities are all on the passing line. If they cooperate properly, each squad Each platoon has the ability to independently kill copycats.

However, urban street fighting limited the shooting distance of the Guards Division to within 20 meters—or even shorter. Often, the imitators rushed to the Guards Division before a single magazine was fired.

And the imitators who can rush out from the houses on the street and from the ground at any time also make it impossible for the soldiers of the Guards Division to guard against. Sometimes the soldiers may just walk into an apartment, and there are several spikes piercing from the other side of the wall. A hole was left in the soldier's body.

However, the occasional calls for help from around the streets made the soldiers have to enter the building again and again to try to rescue the surviving civilians, even though the United Nations Army and the Guards Division knew very well that the imitators let this part of the civilians go Even if they were going to use them as bait to attract the soldiers of the Guards Division to come to the rescue like moths flying into the flames, the Guards Division could hardly ignore them.

The special units with electromagnetic shielding capabilities invested by the imitators in this battle made the situation of the Guards Division even worse.

After the human coalition forces just entered this world, the troops that had carried out strong radio interference on the human coalition base for more than ten hours were not short-lived. Filled with noises from all the wireless devices, only disturbing noises came from all the wireless devices, and the cooperation between the various troops was weakened to an almost negligible level.

Unless they can directly encounter friendly units in battle, the squads entering London can only fight separately. The front troops are ambushed, the retreat route is cut off, the flank friendly troops are defeated, etc. Important information cannot be obtained. It was delivered to friendly forces in time, and the communication level of each unit basically returned to the level of World War I.

But until the human coalition troops arrived in London, the Guards Division still did not give up their counterattack to London, and they rescued more than 3 civilians along the way—but at the cost of 1 people deployed by the Guards Division in London. Many people can only organize two regiment-level units now.

Therefore, when the headquarters of the Guards Division learned that the support of the human alliance was about to arrive in London, they could almost describe their mood with tears of joy.

However, the landing place chosen by the human coalition forces is completely different from what they imagined.

In order to reach the battlefield faster, the human coalition troops participating in the first round of landing operations were all composed of space airborne troops. The space fleet deployed in this world dropped more than 500 landing pods on England in one go, one third of which were Falling in the direction of London.

On the way to the landing field, the imitators have tried to intercept these human landing pods, but the orange line they fired obviously did not reach the power of the human coalition forces in the simulated battle in the thinking world, let alone shooting down the landing pods. The imitator's attack couldn't even break the shield of the landing pod.

Now the Human Alliance knows why the Mimics have been avoiding fighting themselves.

Before the human coalition forces and the imitators officially fought, the human coalition forces have been unable to grasp the specific information of the imitators. Even after officially entering this world, the human coalition forces have obtained very detailed data from the United Nations in this world, and their fear of the imitators has greatly increased. However, the performance of the past three months has left a deep impression on the human coalition forces, so that when they really want to imitate the imitators to fight, the human coalition forces are actually a little nervous.

But these fears have dissipated with the formal contact of the heavy airborne company with the imitator.

The energy attack of the imitator cannot penetrate the energy shield in one shot, and there is no way to use the heavy exoskeleton of the human coalition army and the metal body of the immortal in close combat, unless it just hits the head, joints, etc. The ground troops of the human coalition army have weak protection position, otherwise the imitators would not be able to reach the exaggerated setting of "close to death" in the performance.

On the contrary, whether it is the machine gun of the heavy airborne company or the chainsaw sword wielded by the immortal, it can easily tear the imitator's body. With a large number of imitators' heads losing their light, the human coalition took less than 15 minutes It has gained a firm foothold in the city of London.

If the human coalition faced the imitators at the beginning, it was like beating wolves with sticks and fear at both ends, then after the imitators and the human coalition formally fought, the human coalition immediately discovered the essence of the imitator paper tiger. Apart from a certain threat, the human coalition forces no longer need to worry about a head-on confrontation with the imitators.

From the moment the airborne troops of the human coalition landed, the battle gradually returned to human hands.

After the landing field was emptied, the next step for the human coalition forces was to deploy MCVs to the theater. Soon enough, safe evacuation channels were opened one by one, and individual human coalition containment bases were also established in London. Although the human The main goal of the coalition forces at this time is still to search and protect the surviving residents in the city of London, but once the strongholds of the human coalition forces are fully established, no matter whether the imitators will increase the input of troops in the city of London, they will not be able to do anything to the defense of the human coalition forces.

This is not to say that the MCV of the human coalition forces is so bad that it can build a fortress without defensive loopholes in the city in just a few minutes, but as long as the human coalition forces establish a stronghold, it means that the human coalition forces must have already surrounded the city. The coordinates of important planes within a few kilometers are in hand, no matter from which direction the imitators attack the base of the human coalition forces, they will be attacked first by firepower from other worlds.

As for attacking the human coalition forces from the ground, it doesn't work. After Cage's reminder, the first buildings built by the human coalition forces after landing are ground detection devices and earthquake generators.

After a series of modifications by the human coalition forces, the earthquake generator may have been renamed the "directional shock wave generator". After inputting a variety of frequencies that can cause metal or rock resonance, and ensuring that the shock wave can After propagating along the envisaged direction, trajectory and distance, the earthquake generator has become a comprehensive equipment that can be used for tunnel excavation, ore crushing, etc. in addition to cleaning Tiberium ore. .

After the human coalition forces cleaned the battlefield on January 1 and obtained a large number of body samples of the imitators, due to the metal properties of the imitators, the human coalition forces are also trying to find the frequency band that can cause the body tissues of the imitators to resonate these days.

After continuous attempts, the human coalition failed to find a structure that could be called an "organ" in the imitator, and the damage to the variable body could also be slowly repaired with sufficient energy.

This means that unless the imitators rush into the effective range of the seismic generator, their part of the body entering the range of the seismic generator is not enough to kill them. After escaping the range, the damaged parts in the seismic generator will also can recover quickly.

However, even if the earthquake generator cannot be used to directly kill the imitators, it can still be used to interfere with the actions of the imitators so that they cannot enter the defense circle of the human alliance from the ground.

And when these bases start to operate, and the unmanned defense buildings in the base can resist the attacks of the imitators by themselves, the human coalition airborne troops can attack the surrounding areas, trying to connect the bases together to cover more Civilians leave the city.

And as civilians in more warring areas are evacuated, the human coalition forces can call for fire support from space or other worlds.

The airborne heavy infantry of the United Nations Army is not the trump card of the human alliance. No matter which world it is in, after seeing the tsunami-like offensive that artillery units can launch, they will inevitably embark on the path of superior firepower theory .
