The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 146 145. Elite is the bottom line for participating in this battle
It was still the United Government Army's drone fleet that took the lead in taking action.

Faced with Cybertron warships equipped with energy shields and guarded by numerous Cybertron warriors, how to get close has become a key problem that the United Government Forces are worried about.

Drones launched segmented attacks in small batches. With the assistance of the artificial intelligence MOSS, the joint government forces command mapped out the firepower distribution and strike density data model of Cybertron warships.

Then a large number of unmanned fighter jets launched a suicide attack on the Cybertron warship.

During the intervals when the firepower density of the warships decreased, hundreds of manned fighters and high-speed aircraft quickly raided and transported the prepared elite airborne troops of the United Government to as close a distance as possible to the Cybertron warships.

Elite airborne troops wearing special wing suits leaped from the aircraft and, with the power of the aircraft, rushed towards the Cybertron battleship at an extremely fast speed.

The Cybertron warriors on the battleship seemed to understand the human's intentions, and many of them began to intercept at the "gap" in the battleship's hollow design with weapons in hand.

Laser beams of various colors were constantly shooting, and bullets and missiles powered by chemical gunpowder kinetic energy were also constantly exploding in this airspace.

The elite airborne troops flying at high speed in the air were stimulated by the roaring sound in their ears, making their eardrums buzz.

The friendly fighter planes that sent them into the sky quickly exploded into a ball of fire in the air under the attack of the Cybertron warships.

There was no time to mourn for their friendly forces, as the hull of the Cybertron battleship was getting closer and closer right in front of the elite airborne troops' sight.

Among the one hundred elite airborne troops, only about five to ten were able to break through the enemy's firepower and enter the energy shield of the Cybertron battleship.

This is even under the cover of the United Nations government forces' drone fleet, which sacrificed itself at all costs.

Among the soldiers who enter the energy shield, only less than one in ten have the chance to pull out the "nanoworm medium warheads" they carry before the Decepticons on the battleship kill them.

On average, more than 800 elite airborne troops, 2,200 pilots and crew members had to be killed in order for a "nanoworm medium warhead" to detonate inside a Cybertron battleship protected by an energy shield.

The cruelty of this "boarding operation" was so severe that even the United Government Air Force officers, who were used to war, could not bear to watch it.

Those elite airborne soldiers, who are one in a hundred or even one in a thousand, would be elite soldiers capable of fighting ten enemies at once if they were placed in the Marine Corps.

But now, for the sake of a slight possibility, they have to carry out this suicidal "boarding" operation.

Before setting off, many airborne soldiers voluntarily refused to carry the "strap paragliders" that would be used for evacuation after the operation was successful.

On the one hand, this equipment is an additional burden before the mission is successful and is of no help to the mission they are carrying out.

On the other hand, everyone understands how low the success rate of penetrating and boarding a ship is, and the vast majority of people die before they can use their evacuation equipment.

"It's over. My ace airborne division is all gone..."

Inside the United Government's frontline command center, General Wembley, the leader of the force carrying out this mission, slumped in his chair with a gloomy expression, as if all his energy had been drained out.

The 1st Airborne Division of the United Government Army is an ace airborne force, formed by elite soldiers drawn from multiple national branches such as the US, UK, RU, and CN.

Major General Wembley of the UK division was appointed as the head of the force.

The UK branch, whose overall military strength is far inferior to that of the US, RU, and CN, has placed high hopes on this ace airborne force.

This fully-strength ace division has a total combat force of 15500 people. The UK branch has devoted a lot of effort to everything from personnel selection to training, formulation of assessment plans, and even the most basic dietary structure planning.

Only elite veterans who have experienced two plane wars, received the [Popular Blessing], and have more than five years of service experience are eligible to apply.

And the elimination rate is as high as 85%. Those who can be selected into the Ace Airborne Division are the absolute elite from all countries of the United Government Army.

Every once in a while, representatives from the UK branch would go to inspect the ace 1st Airborne Division.

Although the UK division only accounted for about a quarter of the soldiers in the ace airborne division.

But the entire UK branch regarded the ace 1st Division as the UK branch's direct force.

Major General Wembley, who was in charge of leading this force, was even hailed as "the last famous general in Britain."

There is nothing more heartbreaking than witnessing one of your own soldiers die on the battlefield.

What's more, in the eyes of Major General Wembley, this action was no different from suicide.

But in the face of a war between two civilizations, a British major general has almost no battlefield decision-making power.

Even the UK branch representatives only have the right to make suggestions but not the right to make decisions.

"Your ace airborne division did a great job, destroying five Cybertron warships.

There is one more ship than the General Staff and AI predicted, which is already very good."

Although the words of the coalition government's frontline commander were praise, they sounded extremely harsh in Wembley.

Of the 15500 elite soldiers of the 800st Airborne Division, only less than survived, and almost the entire unit was wiped out.

In the end, the commander at the front line only received a verbal commendation for a good performance?
This finally broke the defense of Major General Wembley, who had always regarded the ace 1st Airborne Division as his second life.

“What’s the point of us doing this?
The other side has a total of 110 Cybertron warships.

110 ships!
My soldiers could have played a greater role in other battlefields instead of being sent to die! They are so outstanding, and they are the soldiers I am most proud of in my life.

In the end, it was only used to exchange for five Cybertron warships..."

Major General Wembley, who was in his fifties, had red eyes. Thinking of the elite troops he had trained with all his efforts being wasted here in vain, two lines of tears could not stop flowing.

He couldn't even collect the bodies of all the warriors.

The front-line commanders of the coalition government forces are responsible for the wartime front-line commanders of the three armed forces elected by the various branches of the coalition government.

In terms of military rank, he was far higher than the little major general Wembley.

In wartime, publicly questioning the commander's decision will result in a military court according to the military law of the coalition government.

The commander even has the right to remove someone from office and imprison him for insubordination on the battlefield.

But perhaps the ace 1st Airborne Division's record was indeed good, or perhaps as a soldier, the commander could understand the pain that Major General Wembley felt when he watched his troops being destroyed in an organized manner.

Major General Wembley did not receive the targeting he expected.

“In this war, no one is nobler than anyone else as long as they are part of the coalition government forces.

Which troop that can fight the Cybertronians on the front line is not elite?

The casualty rate of the CN Capital Heavy Infantry Regiment and the RU Alpha Special Assault Battalion, these two ace infantry regiments, has reached 78%, and they are currently conducting sniper operations in the city of Chicago.

When your ace 82st Airborne Division launched the attack, the four independent airborne divisions of France, the 85nd, 87th, 89th and th Airborne Divisions of the US Division also launched a "boarding operation" in another area at the same time.

They paid the price of 14% casualties and eliminated Cybertron warships.

Do you think that only your ace airborne division is sacrificing?

Elite? Elite is just the minimum qualification to be able to enter this war zone and participate in this war!"

The front-line commander's words shocked Wembley so much that his face turned pale.

The coalition government forces have never regarded any one unit as the savior of the entire war.

In a civilization-level war, no one ever believes in a savior; everyone is the protagonist of human civilization.

The total military reserve of the coalition government exceeds one billion people, but less than one hundred million can be called the main force.

Among these 100 million main forces, only the 20 million who can be sent to the North American continent are called the elite of the United Government Army.

The 350 million troops who first launched an attack on the Cybertronians were strictly speaking the trump cards of the United Government Forces.

Those who were able to sacrifice at the same time as the Ace Airborne 1st Division were all elite aces that the people of their respective countries were proud of.

They are all strong backing that the wandering people can trust unconditionally.

After the front-line commander gave a scolding, he no longer paid attention to Major General Wembley, whose face had turned pale.

Some people may feel that the United Nations government's tactical and strategic deployment based on artificial intelligence and battlefield analysis by staff think tanks completely treats human soldiers as chess pieces with different utilization values.

It is like some kind of cruel "chess piece exchange game", making these wars cold and ruthless, without any humanity.

But only the front-line commanders who are truly responsible for making decisions and the decision-makers of the coalition government know that this has nothing to do with human feelings.

Humanity must do everything it can to win, using any means and regardless of the cost, in order to continue to win in the wars between countless dimensions, races, and civilizations.

In the war between civilized races, there is no moral bottom line or humanitarian care. There is only the most extreme exchange ratio and the most ruthless means of warfare.

Every war will be regarded as the most important war, and the coalition government must go all out.

The distraught Major General Wembley was eventually helped out of the front-line command center by the orderly.

Before leaving, the orderly did not forget to counsel Wembley.

"General, take it easy, there is always death in war.

The Commander’s son and two nephews are also in Chicago. There is no news of their withdrawal yet. Maybe they have already…”

Several people were still talking outside the front-line command center, but a noisy discussion was heard from inside the command center at an inopportune time.

The latest news from the front battlefield shows that the Cybertron leader Quintessa sent out her general, the Transformer "Lockdown", to capture the Decepticon leader Megatron in battle.

Just half an hour later, news came that Megatron had defected and was working for Quintessa.

The Decepticons on Earth, who were originally working together with humans and Autobots, were suddenly confused.
