Chapter 289: The loyal bolter feels worth it
When the artillery bombardment came, those mechanical monsters had already rushed over very far within a few minutes.

When the firepower on the 9th company's position was temporarily extinguished, their movement speed was extremely fast.

But when the bolt gun roared again in Valenzuan's hand, these charging mechanical monsters suffered a major blow.

A loyal heavy bolter whose power is trustworthy!

A target hit head-on has no chance of survival.If a light unit like a cybernetic or a mechanical dog is hit by a single shot, its entire body will be shattered to pieces.This is not an adjective, it was really completely shattered in the explosion of the heavy bomb, and the power was completely excessive.

Even a large combat machine called a 'crab' by the alliance, a mechanical monster with four legs, a height of two and a half meters, and a fire platform equipped with machine guns and projectile mortars, would be finished if it took two shots.Their thin armor couldn't withstand bolter fire.The synthetic armor-piercing warhead penetrates and the explosives contained in it detonate from the inside. In just two rounds, the 'crab' will be blown out of two large craters and then paralyzed.

Among the enemy forces, the few unmanned Challenger tanks were also unable to withstand heavy explosive bombs.

Although the Challenger tank used by Blackbird is much stronger than the foreign trade castrated version they sold to the old alliance in the past, it may not be broken by ordinary bolters, but heavy bolters are another matter.

One of them took three heavy explosive rounds, punched three holes, and imploded.

There is no driver in the Challenger, and there is no situation where the driver is killed by the explosion and the tank stops operating.However, one of these three explosive rounds did not know whether it hit the power system or the control system, and the explosion caused a devastating impact on the tank.

And these are all threats caused by direct hits from heavy explosive bombs.Even if the heavy explosive bomb misses, it still poses a considerable threat.When it senses the target, the power of the volley explosion is more than three times that of ordinary bolt guns.The impact of the explosion and the flying shrapnel will kill and injure light units such as Cyborgs and Mechanical Dogs within a range of three to five meters.

Just a roaring heavy bolter suppressed the charging enemies again.

This weapon is considered the most expensive and powerful among the alliance-issued infantry units at the company level.Its cost is even much more expensive than conventional heavy artillery, and its range is not that far compared to artillery.However, the role it can play within the range is worthy of its price. After it was distributed to each company, it quickly became the core tactical weapon at the company level.

And the roar of the heavy explosive bomb also became a trumpet-like presence at this moment.

The soldiers who had lowered their heads during the shelling just now came out one after another and began to violently attack the enemy.

Suddenly, a large number of enemies were suppressed and could no longer move forward.

But the number of enemies is far greater than theirs, and they will not retreat easily.

Light weapons are difficult to use. Shooting head-on is disrespectful to heavy bolters. Those mechanical monsters are not that stupid.Other weapons can work.

The turrets of several Challenger tanks were rotating. They had obviously calculated the ballistics of the heavy bolter and roughly locked the position of Captain Valenzuan; in addition, the 'crabs' were doing the same thing. The direct-fire mortars mounted on their fire platforms have enough distance to hit Valenzuan's position; many drones are roaring in, and the submachine guns on them are from top to bottom, enough to cross the foxholes. As well as the bunkers arranged by the engineers next to the heavy bolter firepower point, directly threatening the personnel operating the firearms...

Valenzuan, who was suddenly targeted, fell into an extremely dangerous situation almost instantly.

But at this time, his brain was extremely clear.

He cannot move his position. The heavy bolter has no maneuverability. It is too heavy for one person to lift. It requires four or five soldiers to get it.

At this time, the only way to gain a chance of survival is to fight back.

And even if there is no chance of survival, we must destroy as many enemies as possible before the end.

He accurately judged the biggest threat: the Challenger tanks, and moved the barrel of the gun towards the enemy.

A tank 2000 meters away is still not a big target, but the superior performance of the heavy bolter can ensure that he can hit it with a high probability as long as he aims.And he didn't need to pursue a hit with one hit. As long as he kept firing, the recoil of the firearm was transferred to the ground by the bracket fixed by nails on the ground. He then used his tenacious will and arm strength to maintain the rotation of the muzzle to ensure the accuracy of the heavy explosive bombs. The ballistics can be distributed within the range he wants.

One, another, and two Challenger tanks were wiped out by heavy explosive shells.

At the same time, the soldiers in the company were not watching a show.

In the previous shelling, the entire 9th company suffered heavy losses.But unlike the 3rd company that collapsed in a single fight, they managed to dig up fortifications and avoid being completely wiped out.

The surviving warriors each used available weapons and began to fight back.

There were still two mortars being fired; each squad took out their rocket launchers and started shooting in the distance; several precision shooters in the company, wielding newly issued laser guns with scopes, stared at them specifically. Fighting drones flying from the sky.

The battle reached an extremely fierce state.

Those mechanical monsters had suffered heavy losses. They should have realized that this was not a successful attack and retreating at this moment might be a better choice.

But they didn't.

In other words, they have no possibility of retreat.

Their main force, still behind, was being bombarded by the alliance's most ferocious artillery, and faced the assault of an elite combined battalion.They are here to find a way out for the main force.

There are more than 2000 of them in total, including drones and tanks, but they are blocked by a small infantry company. This is unacceptable.In their battle command logic, this must be won at any cost.

Their mission is to create a path step by step.

But unfortunately, the mission of the 9th Company is to intercept the enemy here at all costs.

They had done well enough. After a sudden battle and intensive long-range artillery bombardment, they were still able to maintain their combat effectiveness. They even wiped out a large number of their effective forces during the enemy's aggressive assault, including even three tanks.

Valenzuan turned his gun on the fourth tank, and the opponent's battery also turned around.But he was confident that he could use heavy explosive rounds to eliminate the enemy before they could fire.

At this moment, the heavy explosive bomb in his hand suddenly went out.

He just looked sideways and saw that the private who had just joined the army who was supplying ammunition to him had been shot several times and was already dead.

They were not shot at the same time. The three gunshot wounds on his legs, waist, and shoulders should have occurred some time ago.But in the process, perhaps the sound of heavy bolter fire was too loud, and he didn't even hear the cry of pain.

It's also possible that the little warrior really didn't scream.

He just endured the pain silently and persisted in doing his task until the combat drone in the sky put another bullet into his head, killing him completely and ending his work.

No one was working on the external hand-cranked ammunition feeder. After a string of ammunition belts were fired, no new explosive ammunition was loaded.

Valenzuan looked calm and showed no signs of panic. He was still thinking of a solution at the last moment.He planned to load the belt himself and then call for other soldiers to come and help.

However, these were just thoughts and did not form into actions. The muzzle of the tank that had been aimed at him emitted orange flames, and a shell flew towards him.

The shell hit the side of the front baffle of the bolter, causing a breakdown.The unstable cannonball grazed Valenzuan's face, taking away half of his head and one shoulder.

Blood splashed on the heavy bolter. His remaining eye blinked twice, but he could do nothing and fell down.

The heavy bolter went off, allowing the enemies who had been suppressed to charge forward at full speed again.

In a short period of time, the Challenger tank that killed Captain Valenzuan had already brought its infantry and mechanical dogs to a distance of several hundred meters close to the 9th Company's position.At this distance, the rifles in the hands of the soldiers can exert their full power, but at the same time, the firearms in the hands of the modified people also become more powerful, and a mechanical dog begins to rush out of the group, running rapidly, with its back The submachine gun mounted on the jacket also started firing.Although the accuracy of the submachine gun at this distance is ridiculous, the increased firepower density will still cause trouble for the soldiers of the 9th Company.

The battle between the two sides entered the most intense stage, and the company's casualties began to become greater.

What's more critical is that without the core firepower of the heavy bolter, there is a vague tendency to be unstoppable.

But the next moment, the bolter went off again.

This time, it was the company's instructor who took action.

In fact, it was not just him, there were many soldiers who tried to control the heavy bolter, but these attempts failed. At least four soldiers lost their lives in the process.

But under their cover, the always gentle instructor successfully rushed over.He dragged an injured leg and shook the ammunition feed violently, and at this time, another soldier rushed in.

"Go and fight!" When the instructor shouted, his voice was already hoarse.

The superior soldier operated a heavy bolter and successfully destroyed the Challenger tank that led the charge, avenging their company commander.

But before they could fight for long, multiple drones attacked.The precision shooters in the company were already trying to stop them. The red laser beam shot down several drones in the air, but there was still one drone that came to the drone very close to the heavy explosive bomb firepower point, and poured out a round of submachine guns from top to bottom. bullet.

After the bullets were fired, the two men in the foxhole were motionless.

Then the third group went up.

But the third group didn't even fire a few shots, and those mechanical monsters seemed to be unable to bear it any longer.

A new round of roaring sound came from the sky. This was another long-range bombardment from the enemy artillery position at least ten kilometers away.

Moreover, the duration of this round of shelling was particularly long, and there were particularly many shells falling.

After the bombing, the entire position of the 9th Company was quiet.

The foxhole containing the heavy bolter, which was the core of the company's tactics, was filled with corpses. The bolter that should have been fixed here was still here.

The metal baffle in front of it has been severely deformed, and the bracket that fixes it is crooked, but it is still there, but it is stained with the blood of an unknown number of people.

After the bombardment ended, the mechanical soldiers began to move forward.

After a while, no more fire came from the human soldiers' positions.

But they still move cautiously.

In order to attack the position here, the mechanical attack team numbering more than [-] has lost more than one-third of its number.Only one of the original six Challenger tanks remains.

Victory achieved at such a high price...

No, not yet.

When the first few mechanical dogs that rushed forward approached within a hundred meters of the position, the familiar sound of heavy bombs sounded again.

The defeated troops from the 2rd Company of the 3nd Regiment, Sergeant Dimitrao, used the miraculously undamaged heavy explosive weapon. Not only did they wipe out the approaching mechanical dogs, they also destroyed the last Challenger tank. It was also blown up.

Dimitra didn't know where he got the courage.

Previously, when the 3rd company was breached, they were beaten so hard that they could only run away blindly.After being stopped by the 9th Company, he was almost treated as a deserter.

The morale of him and a dozen other defeated soldiers was very low at that time.The panic of surviving the disaster and the confusion of not knowing what to do next occupied their hearts.

They had seen with their own eyes that the mechanical legions that opened the road backward were very large in number.He didn't think that the 9th Company could stop these enemies. After all, the enemy's number was twenty times that of the 9th Company, and they also had long-range artillery support.

How to fight this battle?
He didn't run, simply because if he did, he would definitely be regarded as a deserter and would be shot.

The subsequent development of the battle did not exceed his expectations.

The 9th Company was not tenacious. They tried almost every means to fight those mechanical monsters, but the gap in firepower and numbers still made their defeat inevitable.

But Dimitrao saw what was happening in that bolter position.

If the machine gunner is dead, the company commander will be on top; if the company commander is dead, the instructor will be on top; if the instructor is dead, more soldiers will be on top...

This kind of going on and on shocked Dimitrao deeply.

He couldn't help but think of his company. If the 3rd company had not been raided and had continued to fight, would the same thing have happened?
Will his company commander, his instructor... and even himself, make the same choice as the brothers in the 9th company?

He asked himself this question in his mind.

He hadn't gotten the answer yet, but his body was moving in advance.

His movements were slow and firm.

He crawled to the foxhole.

There was nowhere to stand here, and there were more than a dozen corpses piled in the small pit.

When he regained consciousness, he was already lying on top of the brothers of the 9th Company, with his hand on the trigger of the bolt gun.

The ammunition feeder was nowhere to be found, but the string of ammunition in front was more than half a meter long.

His mind went blank, but he instinctively raised his gun, pointed at the mechanical dogs and the approaching challenger, and pulled the trigger.

The loyal bolters can still work, the barrages tear through the smoke and the gunfire is loud!
The sound of the bolter seemed to be an activator, and Dimitrao's blood was boiling with the gunfire at this moment!
He couldn't help but yell and vent.

Fear, pain, confusion... everything turned into bullets and flew towards the enemy.

It was in the sound of gunfire that he figured it out.

He was dying, but he felt it was worth it.
