Players Invade Cyberpunk
Chapter 1061 - 345: War Is an Art
The news of the Hokuma defense line collapsing quickly reached Da Haguai.
After all, Havana has its own air force, and although the jet squadron has been constantly watched by Military Science, both sides would occasionally skirmish on the Sapata Peninsula, leaving no time to deal with the Horizon Corporation's army.
Nevertheless, there are still patrol teams composed of some hovercars and helicopters charged with monitoring the movements of the defense line.
The battle over at Hokuma was fiercer than its surroundings could ignore, with the artillery fire filling the sky, it was impossible not to see it; even the nearby patrol teams were swayed by Skai to firefight.
But it was useless, with a few hovercars and helicopters facing off against the overwhelming drone fleet, within a few minutes they had to hastily pack up and flee.
Otherwise, they'd end up like Skai himself, captured alive just after boarding the hovercar.
The fall of Hokuma was also transmitted back to the Da Haguai military base via helicopter radio.
This included the fact that Skai himself was captured.
The losses were quite severe, with two infantry companies' formations shattered, command caught up and killed during retreat, and only half a company at Hokuma managed to withdraw under the air cover of the patrol team.
All this happened within just six hours.
Even prior to this, the regiment stationed at Da Haguai thought that the force attacking Hokuma was merely a feint, firing a few shots just for show.
But now, according to intelligence, these forces were already advancing toward Da Haguai and would soon be at its gates!
The atmosphere in the command center was extremely heavy, the people inside had grim expressions, many of whom had been pulled away from women.
A military consultant stared at the battle intelligence in disbelief
"Six hours? There must be a mistake; over at Hokuma they have a whole battalion and defensive fortifications, how could they not hold out for even six hours?"
They had made predictions before; according to the Cubans, even if Military Technology personally intervened, the defense line should withstand at least three days under similar force ratios.
The colonel glanced at him coldly
"Need me to pull up the livestream to show you how they look?"
The consultant awkwardly closed his mouth.
Broadcasting the battle, and in front of the world
This was outrageously arrogant; even a good friend declared in the livestream they would attack Da Haguai before dawn and sleep in the city the next night.
They didn't even see the Cuban army as people, rubbing their faces into the ground.
In a word
Disgusting!
Disgusting!
And I kept the lights off
Pfft!
Someone complained
"These Europeans' intelligence is way off, they said electromagnetic signals were concentrated in the Naventura direction, indicating the main attack; I say this failure is entirely their fault."
"Skai is just a floater, with a battalion in hand, even with preemptive defenses, couldn't hold out for 12 hours."
The one saying this completely forgot Skai had asked them for aid and was refused, then suggested a damaging strat that led players to Blood Rage, causing the battle to collapse.
"Enough!"
Hardlin's head throbbed from their blame-shifting bickering, he could only sternly stop them
"Has the intelligence on this darned Super Earth Force been compiled? And other units, if there's time to argue here, better spend it doing some real work."
A consultant connected a data cable to the projector
"It's all sorted out, I even specifically requested support from the European Intelligence Bureau, the contents are very detailed
This time leading the Cuban landing were three units:
[Super Earth Forces Department]
[Chaldean Heroic Spirit Hall]
[Ox and Horse Construction Company Security Department]
The people at the command center couldn't keep straight faces seeing these names, where was the semblance of a regular unit.
The consultant introduced them one by one
"The largest number is the Ox and Horse Security Department, about 2500 people, but these... originated from construction workers in Night City, rarely engaged in any military training or combat, this pig bay landing is mainly for engineering construction, seen as a reserve force, needing little attention
Next is the Super Earth Forces Department, the unit that directly routed the 105th Battalion
They number around 800, with 600 being combat personnel, this time 380 were dispatched to Cuba
Uniforms are standardized, and their combat fervor is extremely radical, often emitting manic laughter on the battlefield, I strongly suspect they are a group of drug overdose addicts, yet tightly coordinated, on par with the world's special forces.
Rumor has it their administration unit is called the Truth Department, a purging organization, everything said and done must pass their scrutiny, any slip of the tongue leads to secret execution by the Truth Department, their methods are extremely fierce."
Seeing Super Earth, especially the Truth Department, everyone couldn't help but recall the scene from the livestream, feeling a chill.
Such people are too terrifying whether as enemies or teammates, even more frightening than those supervising combat squads.
"Finally, there's the Chaldean Heroic Spirit Hall..."
The speaking consultant's expression became solemn
"Actually, the European Community's judgment isn't too off, this unit, though the smallest in number, is the best equipped."
The Chaldean players on the projection divided into two groups
One type is Masked Rider focused on main attack implants cybernetic superhumans
The other type of players each has an MT-3 suit, donning powered exoskeletons equipped with rocket nests, automated cannons, their whole bodies armed with large-caliber weapons and heavy firepower, some even charging with a 75MM cannon in hand
In terms of appearance, they are definitely highly intimidating, visually impressive.
