(The chapter name is wrong. This chapter should be Chapter 487. Just read it, it won’t affect you.)
"If the mission fails, on the basis of the guaranteed elimination of five people, every time a tank escapes, one more person will be eliminated? Damn, who does this grandson of the system look down upon?"
This is after hearing some specific comments from the system about the first phase of this mission.
Hu Biao and the other 44-man team were the most real thoughts in everyone's minds.
Although they actually knew that in the original timeline, the Volunteer Army soldiers could completely annihilate this British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion without relying on them.
Now I still dare to issue such a mission to them, and it is specified that some adjustments have been made in it.
It will definitely greatly enhance the actual combat effectiveness of this heavy tank battalion.
The question is, so what? This once powerful empire has gone through World War I and World War II, but in this year and age, the navy can still show some promise; as for the army, it has long been ruined.
Even the elite infantry units have the so-called "royal" prefix in front of their designation.
In terms of actual combat effectiveness, it's the same thing.
Anyway, in Hu Biao's impression, since World War II, this powerful empire that had been powerful for several years has become a follower of Uncle Sam's family.
That's when Uncle Sam shows off his muscles and shows off his strength.
You can still live a good life for a period of time relying on your accumulation over the past few years; but every time you show off your awesome attitude, outsiders can see very clearly what is going on inside.
Some members of their family are still dreaming of the dream that our ancestors were richer than before and are still the hegemons on this planet.
In fact, throughout the entire Goryeo War, they were never our main threat.
More importantly, with the arrival of the Zhongzhou team, the anti-armor firepower of the Volunteer Army has become stronger.
Even under the guidance of the excavator guy, the Type 50 rocket launcher produced by Rabbit is only a little over 70% as powerful as the serious Type 69 rocket launcher.
But using this shrunken rocket launcher to attack Centurion heavy tanks and breaking the defense is not something that can be done easily.
Another point is that in the space rings of Hu Biao and others, they also brought ten Type 51 rocket launchers from the Rabbit family.
And fifty rounds of special armor-piercing bullets.
This anti-armor weapon is actually a copycat rocket launcher developed and manufactured by the Rabbit family based on poor anti-armor methods and based on the Soldier M20 "Super Bazooka".
After some slight modifications, the specific caliber was 90 mm.
The effective maximum range is 250 meters, and the armor penetration depth is 100 to 152 mm.
Originally, Rabbit produced a total of 4,800 Type 51 rocket launchers.
At that time, it received a huge welcome and praise from the volunteer soldiers who only had explosive charges, anti-tank grenades, and other unofficial anti-armor weapons.
However, now that the better Type 69 rocket launcher appears, this type 51 knock-off will probably not appear.
But then again, the Type 51 rocket launcher was used to hit the Centurion tanks that appeared in the late World War II. As long as it didn't go through the frontal armor stupidly, it was quite effective.
Therefore, after thinking about the above, Hu Biao and others suddenly came to mind.
A scene like this seemed to appear. Under their "swish~" dense rockets, those Centurion tanks were turned into burning torches.
It doesn't have to be like the original timeline, where the Volunteer Army soldiers hugged explosive packs, braved the opponent's crazy vehicle-borne firepower, and used their lives to pile up this kind of steel monster.
Finally, after an urgent gathering.
The Second Company, where Hu Biao and others were located, began to move rapidly through the night toward the Huiyin collar and Bitili areas north of Gaoyang.
Along this road, from time to time there were clear sounds of gunfire and shouts of death reaching their ears.
Even in the darkness of the night, there was a huge fire that suddenly rose up, as if it was going to burn the entire sky.
These are hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Volunteer Army and the People's Army, who are constantly launching attacks against the United Guo Army who are retreating in a hurry on the sand, their natural main battlefield at night.
For Hu Biao and others, the above is the best background BGM.
Because under such huge movement, they felt that their blood was boiling...
At the same time, when everyone in the Central Continent Team heard the cold mechanical sound of the system in their heads, they wondered if it was the deliberate arrangement of that scammer.
The first phase of Team John's system mission was also triggered at this moment.
If Hu Biao and others could hear the mission content of John's team, they would be surprised to find that the missions between their two teams are actually completely opposite.
Because of Team John’s mission, the requirements are roughly as follows:
It is guaranteed that the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion can escape from the Volunteer Army encirclement with no less than three tanks and successfully reach Han* City; if it has less than three tanks, it will be regarded as a failure of the mission, and as punishment, 5 people will be directly and randomly killed.
.
If the number of escaped tanks exceeds three, a stepped reward system will be adopted.
In addition to the complete completion of this mission, you will receive more and more generous rewards; for each additional tank that escapes, John's bloodline power will increase by 3% in the following missions.
In addition, if Major Konis, the commander of the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, can successfully escape, his bonus will increase by 15%.
Accumulated sequentially, with no upper limit.
In short, after listening to the above content, Sir Henry, the commander of John's team, immediately became excited.
Just as Hu Biao and others were filled with confidence after listening to the system explanation.
Everyone in John's team is also full of strong confidence in the first phase of the next mission.
I think that according to the requirements of the mission, only three tanks have to escape, which is completely because the system looks down on their powerful John Team.
Even if the system will privately strengthen the strength of the volunteers, what will those opponents who don't even have anti-tank weapons have in their hands to deal with heavy tanks?
According to the historical data he had read, the volunteers only had some explosive bags and anti-tank grenades in their hands.
As long as John's team joins the battle, they are fully confident that they can perfectly serve as the covering infantry for the tanks, making it impossible for the volunteers to even get close to the tanks, so no matter how many of them they have, they can't do it.
Naturally, it was impossible for them to still have a chance to blow up the tank.
After thinking of this, Commander Henry shouted in front of his team members.
"Gentlemen, set out immediately for the Huiyin Territory and Bitri areas north of Gaoyang. We need to catch up with the unlucky Royal Heavy Tank Battalion before they are killed by the volunteers and provide them with infantry accompanying cover.
.”
After saying that, Henry made an excuse and took John's team of 35 people into two Willys jeeps.
There was also a truck, a 'Deerhound Armored Vehicle', which began to follow the route on the map at full speed.
In comparison, Hu Biao and others from the Zhongzhou Team are still running on a pair of water-logged cotton shoes and can only rely on their legs to run. The marching method of John's Team is much more advanced and relaxed.
In addition, there is a total of 35 people in John's team from Commander Henry down, which is not a mistake.
After the last mission, John's team finally used it once. The purple scroll that can increase the upper limit of the number of people in the team increased by 5 people.
There is a reason why John's team only expanded the total number of people to 36 during the last mission.
Commander Henry naturally knows the benefits of having a larger team size and stronger combat effectiveness.
But the problem is, that thing requires 30,000 system points to activate; if a veteran team like Team John bites the bullet, it’s not like they can’t get 30,000 points.
The key is that Team John is a loot distribution method in which the system distributes rewards directly to people based on their performance in tasks.
In this way, everyone will habitually use each mission reward as soon as they get it to avoid being wiped out if the next mission fails.
Thirty thousand points. After allocating so many points among people, many senior team members will not be able to use them.
Anyway, Commander Henry will not bear such a large amount of points alone; he has never thought of using his own system points, or even recycling one or two pieces of system equipment, to activate this kind of scroll.
In the end, after going through several tasks, they finally managed to collect 30,000 points collectively.
At the same time, he was also lucky, and a corresponding purple scroll was opened in time. After using it, John's team had five more people than the upper limit.
But for such an achievement, Commander Henry still feels quite a sense of accomplishment.
Because according to his understanding, among so many system teams, how many can increase the maximum number of players by 5 people?
Not many, probably not enough to count the ten fingers on a pair of hands.
Even the new Central Continent team that they are likely to encounter in this mission world; this team that ranks among the top three in development in the apocalyptic world, currently has a maximum team size of only 31 people.
Why are you so sure? The Zhongzhou team including the commander only has 31 people.
That was what Garul Rein, the commander of the German stick team, told him personally on the phone; he almost had to cut off his finger, and the bet was such that he swore that he would never lie to him.
Considering that the original German stick team suffered a big loss at the hands of the Central Continent team due to carelessness, Commander Henry chose to believe this statement.
Of course! As a team commander who has participated in more than a dozen missions in a row, Commander Henry still has some basic caution and caution.
Soon after, he thought of contacting Uncle Sam's team to discuss cooperation between the two parties.
Therefore, after the small convoy of John's team set off for a while, the person sitting in the convoy at that time was Commander Henry in the second Willys Jeep.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke to Billy, who was currently in a Deer Hunter armored vehicle.
That is to say, the little old man who looks like a butler of the Great Yin Empire, but is actually a butler in the modern dimension explained:
"Mr. Billy, has Uncle Sam's team informed us about the first phase of their mission and what it is about? If so, what is it?
Well! Looks like these unlucky ones are out of luck and have run into some trouble.
Then you tell Dr. Jonathan that after our John team completes the first phase of the mission, we will definitely assist them and help them complete the mission.
But for a blue prop with a system recycling price of not less than 10,000 points, such a reward will not be enough if it is less than one penny."
In this way, with strong self-confidence without any reason, John's team advanced rapidly.
Twice along the way, after they encountered small groups of volunteers, they did not show any desire to fight. Instead, they relied on their strong maneuverability and strong firepower density to quickly pass through.
Finally, around 11:30 pm.
The small convoy of John's team caught up with the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion related to that mission.
The commander of the heavy tank battalion, Major Konis, was naturally very happy about the appearance of such personnel who could provide them with combined infantry and tank tactics during the battle.
After the two sides chatted for a few words on the radio, the two sides merged into one.
Continuing towards Han*Cheng, they began to retreat in large numbers.
Perhaps because he was in a relaxed mood, Commander Henry, who was sitting in the Willys Jeep during such a retreat, was still in the mood to listen to the chatter of his own personnel on the radio.
Immediately, I heard on the radio the main force of the Great Yin Empire on the Goryeo battlefield.
The colonel commander of the Royal Ulster Rifles in the 29th Brigade was on the internal channel, loudly encouraging his men:
"Gentlemen and boys, although we are currently retreating, it is only because of strategic needs, not because we are afraid of our opponents.
Don’t forget, for those malnourished volunteer soldiers, the sound of our military boots still sounded in their palaces almost a century ago.
Their royal gardens have also become our best trophies.
Even now, the actual combat effectiveness of our Royal Rifles can equal that of a division or even a corps of theirs."
Such words fell on Commander Henry's ears, and he expressed great relief.
The morale of our soldiers is very good, and the situation is good...
*******
"Stop, which section are you from?"
Under the darkness, a group of volunteer soldiers hiding in a secret place pointed their weapons at Hu Biao and others, and then started yelling.
After half a night of running around with my feet off my feet.
More than 110 people from the Second Company, where Hu Biao and others belonged, had traveled through more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads and arrived in the Gaoyang area.
Then they seemed to have encountered a group of friendly forces here.
After hearing this, the second company commander responded quickly:
"Comrades over there, don't be nervous. We are from the 148th Division and the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the 442nd Regiment. We have been ordered to come here to find a suitable place to block the retreat, so as to block the retreat of the 29th Brigade of the Yin Army.
By the way! Which army are you from?"
During this short period of time, the volunteer soldiers had clearly seen the attire of Hu Biao and others, so after hearing what the second company commander and above said, they immediately lowered their guns.
There was even a tall man among them, who came out and said:
"Good guy! With that Yunnan accent, it seems that he is indeed a member of our 50th Army.
Comrade, we are from the 1st Battalion of the 446th Regiment. The hilltop not far away is the 159.3 Highland. There is a group of Yin soldiers guarding it. The number seems to be from the Royal Rifles.
The size of the force is about one company.
In order to prevent the other Allied Guo Army from joining the 29th Brigade of the Yin Army, our superiors ordered us to capture and hold Highland 159.3. You came just as we were about to launch an attack."
Undoubtedly, the combat missions of the volunteers of the 446th Regiment are exactly the same as those of Hu Biao and his Second Company.
Therefore, the second company commander said: "If we attack the high ground, are we one of them?"
"Okay! Let's attack from the left and right sides of the mountain at the same time. Let's see who can hit it first. If the loser loses, please drink when we rest later."
After hearing this, the tall man readily agreed and launched a small challenge.
Faced with such a challenge, the second company commander certainly didn't give up. He said coaxingly: "Okay, just wait and treat us to a drink."
After saying that, I picked up the telescope and looked at the 159.3 heights on the roadside...
