"Are you here to protect us?"

"No, it's to protect it." Skadi pointed to the landing aircraft in the distance, "I never thought that humans would have the opportunity to fly into the sky like birds, and if possible, I would like to try it. "In fact, everyone in Agor wants to try it out, and they have invested heavily in this project.

At the same time, on the other side, the strength of the two regiments has been maneuvered into place. The infantry regiment in the mudstone belt is a standard lightly armed formation, with about 1300 combat personnel, equipped with 2 hummingbirds and 8 light armored units, and some portable Mobile artillery, however, is mainly based on light infantry.

Not to mention power armor, there are not many melta cannons. If the strength of a regiment is concentrated, it is relatively abundant. It is a pity that she has to attack two positions at the same time and ensure that they can be taken down.

On the other side, the heavy armored regiment brought by Ivan will be a little late. They use 8 Titan chariots as the main core, and are equipped with 6 hummingbirds as cover. too much.

However, half of the power armor of the entire army is allocated to them, which can effectively improve the impact and survival rate. However, there are also problems, and the power armor puts a bit of pressure on logistics.

"The 2nd Regiment will launch an attack in 3 hours. We only have 2 hours to attack. We must take these two positions."

"It's a bit difficult" to detect that the drone has acquired the attack target, which is even more difficult than the previous intelligence, mainly on the platform side.

It was originally just a resource mining platform, but now it is almost fortified, not to mention condescending, and equipped with a lot of Thunder Hammer mobile armored vehicles, those things from Raytheon Industry.

"There are even bigger tanks, which are obviously imitated from our Titan." The tank with the logo of Raytheon Industries is similar to the Titan, but it has a single track, and its structure is obviously much simplified.

"It is estimated that the armor is at least 200 mm, and the light melta cannon can break it, but other weapons are somewhat difficult. The key is that it has not many weapons, but it is more flexible than the Titan's turret." There is only one supercharged spell cannon and several electromagnetic repeating crossbows , and because of the small number of weapons and small size, it is even more difficult for infantry.

"The origin stone generator in the back seems to be a weak point?"

"But what about accompanying infantry?"

"I hope they haven't trained infantry-tank coordination." The difficulty of infantry-tank coordination is not low. First of all, there must be a qualified communication method with the vehicle crew. The vehicle crew can quickly destroy anti-armor firepower and anti-infantry firepower points according to the infantry's instructions.

The infantry should be a certain distance away from the tanks, and they should not be too far apart so that they can reasonably use and guide the firepower and armor advantages of the tanks. They should not be too close to prevent the tanks from catching fire and exploding and directly blowing up all the infantry in a squad, or they may be afraid of being crushed. Pressure teammates dare not reverse or evade maneuvers.

At the same time, the vehicle team and the infantry team need to cooperate very well. The former needs to destroy the firepower point that poses the greatest threat to the infantry as soon as possible, while the infantry needs to inform the tank anti-armor team of the location or block and destroy them as soon as possible. Pay close attention to the road conditions ahead.

The observation window of the tank driver is not large, and it is difficult to collect enough information. This requires the infantry to be the eyes and ears of the tank, as well as its guards. Therefore, it is absolutely correct that the armored soldiers are called the knights of the new era.

It meets all the requirements of a knight, has its own specialized care team (mechanic), has its own attendant cavalry (infantry combat vehicle or personnel carrier), has its own infantry attendant (infantry squad), and is equipped with a spear (main gun) And sword (machine gun), wearing heavy armor and charging forward.

Organized armored forces can tear apart enemy positions like knights, but like knights, they lose the cover of cavalry and infantry guards, and even peasants and soldiers can pull them off their horses and kill them.

The same is true for tanks. Without these protections, a bunch of cluster grenades can take it away. However, when most infantry face tanks, they are like peasants and soldiers facing knights charging. .

Fortunately, most of the light infantry regiments in the mudstone belt have received special training. When facing tanks or armored forces, they can barely maintain a certain degree of calmness. However, this does not mean that the current battlefield is not difficult.

Chapter 66 Fortress Attack and Defense - Outpost

"How to deal with it? There are nearly 20 vehicles, and 10 of them have not turned off. In other words, we may be attacked by armor at any time." Due to the special transportation situation of Lara, they are not far away from being discovered.

"The information from the weather team is that there will be a sandstorm in 20 minutes." Sandstorms can cover their tracks and make it easier to approach armored units. Found it, they're removing the cannon coats and covers.

"The distance is 1600 meters, 20 minutes, the enemy's firepower is dense, we are short of manpower, perfect!" The remaining range of nearly 2 kilometers is a standard desert, with almost no cover, and it is easy to be attacked from the platform.

It is a standard collection platform, about 40 meters above the ground. The bottom includes a drilling rig, a collection fan like a windmill, and a large number of mining equipment. The drilling rig is responsible for drilling the low-content solid rock on the surface, and then crushing the source of jade in the lower layer. , to pump the powdered source stone crystals and source jade ore into the upper layer through a fan-like device.

The first layer will carry out ore washing and separation to separate the waste source stone crystals, Guyuan rock ore and source jade ore. Impurities are separated, and finally the third layer is the extraction crystallization layer.

The waste source stone crystals are added to the solution, gradually charged at high temperature and condensed into source stone ores. Finally, the source stone ores will be repeatedly purified and finally turned into pure source stone ingots, which will be transported away by the drone on the top.

Due to this method of collection, the pollution of the lower layer is very serious, especially when the drill bit and the collection fan are being repaired. This is the reason why the platform has to be built so high above the ground, to avoid pollution from the rising sand and origin stone dust. Even so, the workers It is also necessary to go down to the bottom platform from time to time to check the equipment or clean up the sundries involved.

This is also the main cause of the infected. This ancient mining method has been replaced by a new collection method, but this platform still remains and has been transformed for combat use.There are elevators and freight elevators at the bottom, while the processing platform on the first level is enclosed by metal panels and turned into a garage and drone hangar, where supplies are also piled up.

The uppermost floor is the anti-aircraft tower, and a large number of electromagnetic crossbows and anti-aircraft guns are installed in the middle, which can not only attack the aircraft flying close to the ground, but also be used to straf the ground troops and armored units. It can be seen that the Colombians gave Trey Sith quite a few suggestions.

"Four God Cannons, I saw seven ballista towers, at least 14 electromagnetic piercers, and I didn't find too many other weapons, but since the Colombians and Lateran people are here, the guns and large guns are absolutely Yes, it's tricky."

The main attack direction of the troops is on the Alpha Highland, and there are very few troops deployed here, and it is difficult for this force to entangle the battle platform and prevent them from reinforcing the highland.

"Wait for the sandstorm. With the help of dust, we will get as close to them as possible." For these former mercenary-turned-leaders, this kind of bad debt is more appropriate. Terra's mercenaries are not modern mercenaries on Earth. The latter are closer to security guards, with weaker combat skills and willpower.

Terra's mercenaries are closer to the dead soldiers or special forces on Earth. In other words, they are closer to the mercenaries before modern times. They have a strong will to fight. Combat requirements, and even individual cases may be more elite than the regular army. [For example, Swiss halberd mercenaries]

"Check the equipment, our only advantage is the equipment, don't lose the chain at the critical moment" Time passed by, and we could only take a risky attack.

Immediately, there was a slight clicking sound in the team to check the equipment. The exoskeleton is for civilian use, and the quality is good, but the reliability is not good. No one knows whether it will fail in the sandstorm, so they made double preparations and set the It is a "quick equip" mode, so that you can escape quickly.

It was originally used to protect the user during civilian high-risk operations, but sometimes it has side effects on the battlefield. You don’t want to know that you have been shot. When you could have fought back, the exoskeleton triggered the protection release mechanism and ejected you How miserable it would be to go.

However, compared to being stuck in a sandstorm and unable to eject, this kind of problem is barely acceptable. Except for the exoskeleton, the rest of the equipment is very reliable. The most reliable of them is the MA50 assault rifle that has been tested for nearly 12 years. Kazdel frontline soldiers are not full of praise for this weapon.

It is light, stable, and has enough accessories to meet most of the environmental and operational requirements, but this does not mean that it still does not need maintenance and inspection. The Military Quartermaster said that it is a good closed system and calibration system even if it falls into the mud. It can still let it play most of its performance normally without jamming or malfunctioning. However, in the case of the military supply department, the soldiers on the front line basically trust 50% at most.

They also say that the Titan tank has no enemies on the battlefield. In fact, it has enemies everywhere on the battlefield. Except for hostile armored vehicles and most of the light anti-armor weapons, it is even stones and dirt on the battlefield. enemies, and even these enemies do more damage than enemy soldiers.

"Fireman, first get rid of those Thunder Hammer chariots, and then those new chariots. Sniper, can you destroy its electromagnetic piercer?"

"I try my best, the environmental impact of the sandstorm is too great."

"In this way, we only have four platoons of troops, and almost all the technical equipment is concentrated in our platoons, so we are the key to this battle."

Although the platform is large enough, there are not many defenders. Excluding logistics and staff, the actual combat force will not exceed 400. This includes the tanks and armored forces on the ground. However, it is still an offensive force. nearly 4 times the amount.

Moreover, civilian and logistics personnel can also fight with weapons. The only disadvantage is that their individual weapons are not popularized. The precious guns need to be distributed to the main force. The troops here are still various crossbows and short-range weapons. They are in a very disadvantaged state for mid-range shooting.

"The sandstorm is coming" the wind became faster, and a trace of dust and smoke swirled on the ground. "Put on your mask, it's an origin stone storm." A storm containing a large amount of origin stone dust, rich caravans and elite troops will It is equipped with a protective mask, but ordinary people can only rely on scarves to block it, and there is a high probability of getting ore disease.

However, if you don’t wear protective equipment, it’s 100% ore disease. Therefore, scarves are useless anyway. “Injecting anti-infective agents” soldiers quickly pulled out the syringes on their belts, and gave themselves a needle. The cost of highly compressed time origin stone skills can passivate one's own origin stone absorption ability, so that even if there is a problem with the mask and protection, he will not become an infected person.

"Don't love to fight, they don't dare to search for us in the sandstorm!" Because once the protection exceeds the threshold, they will be infected quickly. In the state of ore disease, it is tantamount to terminally ill. These are only for the money of Teresis. Guys don't take that kind of risk.

A layer of orange-yellow mist rose from the sky, and within 20 minutes, the sky and earth were covered by howling wind and orange-red dust, and visibility dropped to an extremely low level.

"Let's go!" For the 1.6 kilometers, it doesn't take too long to sprint at full speed for the physical fitness of the Terra people, especially they are equipped with exoskeletons, but in the sandstorm, every step needs to be very careful. Slowed down the attack speed.

At the same time, in addition to the vanguard troops waiting for the sandstorm, the main force of the mudstone is also waiting for the sandstorm. When the sky and the earth are covered by sand and dust, the main force of the infantry regiment is dispatched. They stay farther away, but there are many Vehicles can travel instead.

"Crack!" The gravel made a crackling sound on the reinforced windows and the car, and the mud rock buckled the helmet. As a regimental commander, she should not have entered the front line. However, this time the action was different. Among them, it is difficult to maintain long-distance command communication with the current communication methods of Terra, so she went to the front line to ensure smooth command.

Moreover, before capturing the half-waist line of defense and breaking through the sandstorm, as a commander, she has nothing to command. On the contrary, leading a breakthrough as a vanguard is more suitable for her Originium skill.

In sandstorms, mudstone's origin stone skills are easier to display, and can provide a certain amount of shelter for friendly forces. Once the mountainside position is taken down and a field command post is established, then she can only stay in the command post as a commander. .

"Fertile soil gives body" source stone dust entangles every vehicle near the mudstone like a living thing, "It's starting to climb the slope!"

"No fire without my order," a dull voice came from under the helmet.

The defenders seemed completely unaware that someone would use the sandstorm to approach. Kazdel's sandstorm is not a simple thing. If you don't do anything in it, you will have to reduce 1/3 of the non-combat personnel, let alone launch an attack.

In the past Terra, there has never been an attack with the help of sandstorms, because those origin stone dust will cause normal people to be infected quickly, or consume a lot of precious protective equipment, and origin stone-powered vehicles cannot survive this kind of storm Moving forward, their airtightness is not as good as that of land cruisers. Once the engine gets into the origin stone dust, it will be scrapped soon.

And the land-ships are too huge, even sandstorms can't cover their signals, so most people only need to pay attention to units such as land-ships and assault boats. As for the light infantry assault, no one thinks there is such a possibility.

Tracys couldn't even do it, and the Kazdel people on the opposite side cherished life more than their own (the training cost of a modern soldier is very high), and they would not do this kind of suicide attack.

The vanguard troops successfully touched the parking lot, surrounded by barbed wire. The vehicles had entered the garage, and some patrol vehicles were outside. Those tanks were well sealed and protected, so they could still move. However, the visibility was also suppressed to the extreme. .

The engineers who "did not find the patrolling soldiers" quickly cut through the barbed wire, and after the fire team took several minutes to find the position of their own people, they began to assemble the melta cannon.

"Wait for my order!" Now is the time when the sandstorm is the most violent, and the ion beam of the melta cannon is easily affected and missed, and our own people have not yet assembled. Wait until the sandstorm weakens slightly and the vigilance of the defenders drops It's time to fire.

The sound of the wind slowly weakened while waiting anxiously. When the light frame and elevator above the head could be seen with the naked eye, "Fire!" Two groups of one target, the melta cannon sent four Thunder Hammers into the sky in one round, "Occupy them!" Thunder Hammer, second row, to grab the elevator, third row, go up the stairs, cross-fire cover!"

The sudden attack stunned the defenders in an instant, especially the suppression of firepower in the first row, which completely ignored the amount of ammunition, which gave the opponent a very special psychological pressure.

In the case of low visibility, the whizzing sound of bullets and dense and low-pitched gunshots are everywhere, and comrades-in-arms continue to fall down, giving people a great pressure.

Enemy location?Everywhere; enemy count?Unable to estimate!

And the engineers who cut off the wired communication line at the first time also made the upper command layer completely unable to contact the various troops for a while. The communication equipment they used was Terra technology, which was greatly affected by the source stone dust.

Although the communication equipment on the attacker's side is also affected, it can still maintain basic communication functions at short distances. At the very least, simple cooperation is still possible.

"Boom!" The platoon leader jumped onto a docked thunder hammer in two steps. Before the chariot soldiers who were inspecting the vehicle recovered, a warm object fell into his arms, "Boom!" After being closed, he viciously blocked the two outer handles with a metal rod, and then heard a crazy knocking sound inside the car.

The Terrans who played tanks for the first time obviously did not design the escape route under the vehicle. A few seconds later, the tower heat incendiary bomb was activated, and flames spurted out from every hole. The people inside walked peacefully, and the fire was under control. Be very mature and prudent.

"Okay, I launched one, damn it, this damn operation method!" The tactician in the platoon controlled a Thunder Hammer, the platoon leader quickly got into the turret, and a row of electromagnetic piercers fired crossbow bolts. overhead.

"What weapon?"

"Large electromagnetic piercer" uses warlocks to convert the energy of origin stones into electrical energy, and accelerates the 40mm cast steel armor-piercing arrows launched by high-pressure steam boosting to a second-level electromagnetic acceleration for anti-armor attacks.

It has been proved on the battlefield that the Titan's armor cannot be broken at the shortest distance, but it is enough to block its transmission system, making the current Titan a little heavier and adding a skirt armor to avoid this kind of foot-punching tactic.

"Target?"

"Front right, 70 meters, the new type of tank is aiming at you!" The platoon leader shook the handle vigorously. As a Sarkaz, he also has the ability of a warlock. In the tank, "Reload!"

"Bang!" The shock wave blew away a ring of origin stone dust and steel needles and directly shot a stream of sparks on the front armor, "ricochet, not penetrated!"

And the light beam fired by the other party seemed to be deflected due to the influence of the storm, and the steel metal turned into a molten liquid after only rubbing against the side of the turret.

"Damn it, it's not an ordinary magic cannon, it's Dayan's light cannon! That's not Columbia's, it's Dayan's armored vehicle! We've been tricked!" Although it bears the label of Raytheon Industries, it is Dayan's "Red Rabbit" type To put it simply, the Flame Chariot is equipped with the Flame Cannon, a miniaturized light cannon chariot based on city defense cannon technology. Because of the huge energy supply system, it is the only weapon.

The power is very powerful and the accuracy is very high. However, due to the relationship between energy consumption and heat dissipation, you can only choose between walking and launching. Simply put, it takes 3~5 seconds to switch from the maneuvering state to the attacking state, and then It takes about 3 seconds to restore mobility after firing a shot.

Because of this weakness, it has been initially eliminated by Dayan. Originally, it would be replaced by a high-ranking improved light tank such as "Jade Lion" and a heavy tank such as "Wu Zhi" that strengthened mobile attack and armor. However, because everyone The reason I know—no money—originally, a Shenji Battalion of the Shenwu Guards was equipped with 300 Jade Lions and 50 Wuzhi, but now...

"How long is the steam pressure!"

"Boss, the engine has just warmed up. Wait for a while!" The engine continuously compressed saturated steam into the launch tank, and the pointer slowly approached the red zone for launch preparation. However, the other party was ready to launch the second round.

"Transfer power, reverse!"

"Woo!" The track kicked up dust, and at the expense of the weapon's charging speed, the car reversed quickly, and the second beam of light cannon also missed. This time it hit the ground, creating a small glazed area in an instant.

"What is the weakness of Dayan? Does anyone know?"

"I don't know, let's hit the side first!" The steam pressure finally reached its peak, the platoon leader grabbed the stick like a joystick, activated the Originium skill, "Touch!" The second round of shooting, this side was no exception. , and the Flame Chariot seems to be converted to maneuver mode.

I have to say that the opponent's power is stronger and more agile, and it is worthy of being named after a famous horse-although this design can fight but can't run, and can run but can't fight, it still makes Dayan Army want to beat the designer's head.

Everyone likes Wuzi. However, the production cost of a car as high as 50 and after layers of profit sharing has skyrocketed to nearly 300 million taels (Dayan currency unit, an exquisite silver coin worth one tael and weighing only 16 grams. ), plus the military officers need to take some kickbacks and so on. In fact, there are more than 500 million in hand. Of course, the military salaries and military expenses of the Great Yan Shenwu Guards and the Garrison Guards cannot afford it.

Ah, apart from the Yuegang Fleet, they are the only big customers of the Four Jun Iron Horse Factory, which is why the local gentry hate this group of people but they can't do anything about it - they really can't make trouble with tanks, they should still be heavy tanks.

The two sides fought for several rounds, and finally, the opponent was no longer ready to run away, and found that the steam booster magic cannon here could not penetrate its armor at all, and the attacker was completely speechless about Columbia's weapons.

"Go on, boss!" The platoon leader took over the melta cannon thrown by his subordinates, and kicked the driver, "Rush up!"

"Woo!" The two steel behemoths were about to collide, and the flame cannon and the melta cannon were fired almost simultaneously.

The former directly penetrated Thunder Hammer's frontal armor, and a hole was punched through the entire vehicle. The driver only felt a burst of heat, and his entire upper body was turned into ashes, while the platoon leader's legs instantly lost consciousness.

However, the ion beam of the melta cannon also successfully penetrated the opponent's armor, and without knowing what detonated, the opponent's entire turret and car body flew into the sky in an instant.

The sandstorm gradually stopped, and nearly one and a half rows of people were lost before the assault vanguard entered the first floor. Once they entered this floor, the people on the platform would have no time to reinforce the mountain battlefield. They had to find a way to hold the fulcrum of the platform.
