Walking past the corpses and debris on the ground, Hayes stared at the young soldiers with one eye.
"What does the battlefield discipline say? It is forbidden to pick up all enemy's tissues, organs, weapons and equipment without permission. Do you know what the consequences will be if you are discovered? Fortunately, the company instructor has not come down yet. If we are discovered, do you know what the consequences will be?"
These young people were a little embarrassed when he said this.
"Company Commander, we are just...curious...to collect..."
"Collection? Shut it up!"
Hayes kicked away half of a Genestealer's body.
"These aliens are poisonous all over their bodies! How do you think these farmers got infected? If you are infected, the end result is a shot, you know!"
When he was so frightened, all the boys turned pale, and Hayes shook his head.
"Go back! We're leaving soon!"
"Yes Yes!"
Just as Hayes turned around, an ornithopter flew over the manor and came to the designated area under Hayes's gaze. Then the hatch opened and a large number of "petals" were sprinkled to the ground.
The ultimate goal of this suppressive operation is to evacuate the people who have not been infected by the gene stealers. Therefore, in addition to key cities, the combat command has also set up many safe zones in some small towns to evacuate a large number of scattered manor populations, but the gathered people
The population naturally attracted the attention of the gene stealers, who continued to attack and harass the empire's rescue teams, and would also gather in large numbers to attack the safe zone. In this case, the command headquarters formulated a blockade plan, in addition to using drones
In addition to long-term aerial surveillance patrols by soldiers and ornithopters, in order to reduce the scope of activity of the gene stealers, the command headquarters also decided to spread a large number of unique miniature anti-infantry mines.
This weapon was made by the Chapter's forging master Roglis based on the Chapter's many years of combat experience and some of his personal understandings. It is characterized by its small size, with the longest being no more than 100 mm, and its appearance is also very unique, with a middle
The tubular main body has two rounded short wings on both sides, one thick and one thin. The thick wings contain liquid explosives. The entire shell of the mine body is made of a soft material, and its triggering mechanism is also very simple.
, the projectile is easily deformed once it is under pressure. When the liquid explosive container in the thick wing is under pressure, it will be squeezed into the central tube through the opening at the bottom of the ready piston, pushing the piston on the upper part of the tube to rise, which originally resisted the impact.
The two steel balls of the needle separate to the left and right, releasing the firing pin to strike the flash cap, thereby detonating the explosive charge inside and detonating the entire mine. The left and right sides of the thin short wings allow the mine to land at a lower speed when spreading.
.
The reason for this is that this kind of fuze is very sensitive. The container part of the mine body will detonate as long as it is subjected to a pressure of about 5kg, so it is very difficult to remove it. Although the 30g charge cannot kill targets with certain protection, it is not suitable for targets without certain protection.
Any small unit of protection has enough lethality. More importantly, the structure of this kind of landmine is very simple, and the materials are very cheap. Just a small factory in Ulan Huda can easily reach tens of billions of dollars in annual output.
However, there are also company commanders of the battle group who are skeptical of this weapon, not because of its capabilities, but because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this kind of landmine is obviously not aimed at a "military target" and may even explode a green-skinned boy.
It doesn't matter, but it is an extremely terrifying threat to civilians.
In other words, this is more like a "riot control weapon", and its main application range seems to be suitable for those insurgent areas.
However, Soshyan saw the value in it. It was cheap and plentiful. It was very suitable for dealing with the Tyranid "sea of insects" or planets where large-scale rebellions broke out. When it was sown in large quantities, a death blockade could be established, thus
Restrict enemy movement.
Therefore, this weapon quickly entered the army's arsenal and was named the Rogris anti-infantry mine. However, because it looked like petals when falling from the sky, it was also called a petal mine, and some soldiers jokingly called it it.
A death gift for Rogris.
While the ornithopter was still spreading petal mines, Hayes had already arrived on the armored vehicle. When he looked at the mansion, he took a deep breath of the lit cigar and snapped his fingers.
As the three soldiers lit the flamethrowers, the entire mansion was soon engulfed in raging fire. It was not that Hayes liked to cause destruction, but that was the requirement from above. Anything that could not be taken away would be burned and not given to the gene stealers.
Leave nothing but grass and trees behind.
In the co-pilot position of the rickety Taurus off-road vehicle, Hayes was holding a cigarette and checking the battle report on the data board. There were no casualties. Only two unlucky guys were scratched by bullets flying from nowhere. However,
Ammunition consumption was relatively high, especially for mortars and howitzers. One-third of the grenades were consumed, and more than half of the machine gun bullets were consumed. The light weapons were okay, after all, they did not last too long.
Didi——
Suddenly, a blast of horns interrupted his concentration. Hayes turned around and saw that a Taurus off-road vehicle was driving alongside him at some point, and a smiling face appeared behind the car window.
"how is everything?"
Seeing that it was another company commander in the regiment, Hayes put down the data tablet and shook his head helplessly.
"Everyone is dead, and the whole family has fallen into the belly of the gene stealers. We were also fished by those aliens. They used an empty manor to lure us in. Fortunately, the walls there are quite high, so nothing happened."
"Wow, is it so dangerous? There are no casualties, right?"
"Fortunately, no, what about you?"
The company commander pointed behind him.
"Isn't this all here?"
Hayes stretched out his head to look and saw a civilian truck. It could be seen that it was used on this planet. It was also emitting black smoke. There was a group of people in the back of the truck, including men, women and children. One was wearing a black tuxedo and a top hat.
A middle-aged man was blowing his beard and staring at the air. There were several ladies wiping away tears beside him. There were also a dozen young men and women sitting dejectedly, but those fair and lovely children were still playing and playing.
, and even climbed up to the guardrail to make a lot of noise, keeping the disgraced servants busy.
"Everyone was rescued?"
"After being rescued, this old rich man is quite stubborn. He wants us to help him keep his land. He also said that he wants to marry me a daughter. Damn, I have a wife, but in the end he refuses to leave. I
I had no choice but to tell him that if he didn't leave, I would immediately set the house on fire, so he was willing to leave with me. He also delayed me for half a day and had to help him move his belongings. I was so angry that I really wanted to light a fire!"
At this time, Hayes noticed that there were many trucks in the convoy, and the backs were filled with sacks that were almost higher than the front of the trucks, and asked:
"food?"
"Ah, this bitch is quite cunning. When the gene stealers started to riot, he bought a large amount of food and hoarded it. He also spent a lot of money to hire three to four hundred bodyguards. Each one was carefully inspected to ensure that there were no gene stealers.
He bought a lot of arms, and after that, he closed the door. Not to mention, those aliens seemed to be really unable to do anything to him for a while, and the manor where his family lived was also well-maintained, close to the mountains.
The water is like a bunker, and the shooting area is very tricky. His ancestors must have been soldiers and specially designed firepower points. There are also ammunition hidden in the underground warehouse, and there are even machine guns and two mortars."
