Chapter 568 Alarm from the black! (Two chapters in one)
(Two chapters combined into one, the last paragraph is flawed and will be revised in five minutes)
"what's the situation?"
Major Jerome asked from the command post.
"Reporting to Major, the enemy's attack frequency has indeed decreased, but according to previous observations, the emperor's fire support has not decreased."
A captain stood up and replied.
"Pay attention to artillery defense, increase the intensity of patrols, and a cycle is three days. The battery packs in the last two cycles will be fully supplied to the exoskeleton armor, and the mecha will be ready for pre-war inspections."
Feeling the shock of shelling coming from all around, Major Jerome finally issued the immediate defense order.
In any case, the situation in the Fire Hill Area has stabilized, and their only task is to hold the position until the headquarters and division headquarters give other orders.
It was also on the fourth day after Mu Fan arrived on Planet E75 that the troops from the 33rd Theater Command of the Imperial Frontier Army suddenly began to attack the Fire Hill District with fierce force.
Mu Fan's original daily mission was to patrol the areas twice a day, but starting from the second day after he arrived here, the patrol mission did not change, but Mu Fan had an additional long-term mission, garrisoning highland fortifications.
In the rustling gravel and quicksand, Mu Fan followed Bob to his new stronghold.
It is difficult to carry out concealed sneak attacks like at night in daytime battles. It is basically a duel between firepower and firepower.
At this point, the 27th Infantry Company is at a disadvantage.
In the dilapidated fortifications filled with smoke and dust, Mu Fan and eleven other people stood guard.
This is one of the countless defensive strongholds in the Fire Hill District. Mu Fan came here so inconspicuously.
But what made others laugh and the bench extremely embarrassed was that the two military robots that were originally used as supply truck drivers came to the fortification together.
Fortunately, no one knew that the bench had been dented by Hei.
Others welcome the arrival of these two robots, because with the help of the robots, their speed in rebuilding fortification defenses has greatly improved.
As the days pass, more and more information is obtained through daily routine investigations, and there is more and more information about the abnormality of the Imperial Frontier Army's 33rd Theater.
Because more and more traces of supporting troops were found, but the opponent did not show it in these days' attacks.
Mu Fan did not stand out among these people. He patrolled and ate with the others every day, and didn't see anything special about him.
Instead, he took out some compressed biscuits from his backpack from time to time. This act of preparing his own food seemed out of tune with other soldiers.
It was not until the ninth day that Mu Fan arrived on this planet that the Emperor's attack finally launched.
After a ground-penetrating missile accurately penetrated a fortification next to them, a huge explosion woke everyone up.
Heavy weapons!
The opponent finally used heavy weapons that surpassed howitzers.
Is this the beginning of another all-out war with the Federation?
And the attack just now seemed to be just the beginning, a sharp whistle came from the air, and then a series of terrifying explosions rose from the fire hill area.
The emperor actually used a large range of missiles to cover and bombard.
Under the condition that satellite assistance and high-altitude laser guidance are unavailable, these primitive missiles that rely solely on infrared guidance have achieved amazing results.
Some fortifications on ordinary hills were pulled down instantly.
As for Mu Fan and the others, they were lucky because the red rock flint interfered with the infrared imaging very well.
The fortification just nearby was really bad luck.
Mu Fan shook his head. He even had tinnitus for a moment.
The feeling of a ground-penetrating missile exploding nearby is really not something that most people can bear.
Within his sight, nearly half of the people were covering their heads in pain.
Mu Fan was the first to wake up among them!
All around him were the sounds of painful, suppressed gasps.
At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed his clothes and said, "Let's go!"
Looking back, it happened to be Corporal Bob who had brought him back on his jet motorcycle.
The dark-skinned soldier looked at him with red eyes. It was obvious that he was in good shape and recovered quickly from his sobriety. He grabbed Mu Fan who was closest to him and said, "Evacuate from the fortification, speed, speed! Turn around.
Enter the dark passage to fight back."
He pulled Mu Fan fiercely behind him, then rushed to the other side to try to wake up his comrades.
Mu Fan finally saw the excellent military qualities of these border soldiers. The first thing he did after he woke up was not to do meaningless things or ask what was going on.
Instead, they assemble immediately to listen to orders and carry out transfers quickly!
"Move under three layers of rock."
A sergeant nicknamed Oil Tank shook his head and cursed: "Is this the fucking end of the world?"
Then when he saw Mu Fan standing there motionless, he became anxious and said, "Recruit Danzi, move underground, don't you understand what I said!"
Mu Fan came back to his senses after hearing his name, glanced at the sergeant who was yelling at him, nodded, and then rushed towards the sergeant.
When the sergeant was in a daze, Mu Fan passed him by, grabbed the backpack on the ground, and kicked the two black robots next to him: "Let's go!"
The two robots controlled by Hei and the marching backpack were taken away by Mu Fan.
When escaping from the fortification, Mu Fan saw his comrades holding their knees and rolling down the rock formation, so he put strength on his feet, flattened his body the moment he took off, and dragged a robot with each hand to slide directly along the slope.
Inside the split level.
While sliding, out of the corner of his eye, Mu Fan saw a soldier who had escaped from other fortifications not far away and was directly shot in the head while running.
Under the gray sky, the exploding blood only added an extra layer of embellishment to the earth.
After this missile-based coverage strike ended, a small group of troops finally appeared on the Imperial Frontier Army's defense line.
The opponent finally launched a real attack!
From this day on, Mu Fan's location changed from above ground to underground.
If it weren't for the special terrain structure of the Fire Hilly Area, I'm afraid the emperor would have marched straight in.
On the tenth day, Mu Fan's fire team lost three members.
One of them was directly blown to pieces by a howitzer while performing a reconnaissance mission in the highlands, and the other two were directly killed by stray bullets while resisting the Dishan ground battle.
Then came those mechanical spiders all over the sky...
On the thirteenth day, Di seemed to be serious this time.
From the cracks in the rocks, Mu Fan and the remaining soldiers saw the imperial troops pouring into the battlefield in the distance, and the air was filled with a depressing smell.
Their defense line was pushed back for more than half a kilometer.
Now Mu Fan can no longer see the slightest trace of a new recruit. His face is covered with traces of black smoke from fireworks, and his clothes have become tattered from being pushed and rolled to the extreme again and again.
Even a robot next to Mu Fan had half of its face missing.
Now we can call Master Hei a "faceless" robot.
The team has been reduced from 12 people at the time of the mission to 6 people...
"Message from Major Jerome, abandon the third line of defense and abandon the outer hills."
This is a helpless move, forcing the opponent to give up the fire suppression method of heavy howitzers and heavy tanks. From plain valleys to staggered hilly areas, those heavy machinery and equipment must be abandoned.
A total of five troops are stationed in the entire Huoqiu District, with more than a thousand personnel.
The 27th Infantry Company is just one of them.
However, in this attack, the 27th Infantry Company suffered the heaviest losses because the emperor placed the entry point in the area where they were stationed.
Therefore, when Mu Fan met Major Jerome again, the eyes of the top commander of the infantry company had turned red.
In ten days, the 27th Infantry Company lost more than 50% of its personnel, and now only 42 soldiers survive.
Except for the twenty soldiers who were still conducting reconnaissance missions, the remaining twenty-two people gathered in an extremely hidden underground cave.
As a representative of the 149th Division support force, Mu Fan is qualified to participate in the wartime meeting of the 27th Infantry Company.
Major Jerome glanced around silently, seeing that everyone's attention was on him, and then slowly spoke:
"I sent the rescue to friendly forces three days ago. The 104th Division is under huge pressure now and the support may arrive later. But fortunately, our friendly 149th Division has agreed to support and will arrive within two days at the latest!
"
After saying these words, everyone felt lightened, and finally heard the news of rescue by friendly forces.
"But I'll say something ugly first!"
Major Jerome did not give everyone time to digest the news, but his face became ferocious and his voice was hoarse: "We only need to persist for two days before friendly forces arrive. Within these two days... who of you will do it?"
Deserter, I will kill you first!"
"There are no cowards in our 104th Division, only heroes who stand and die!"
"hero!"
"hero!"
Everyone rushed to the scene.
In two days, defend the Fire Hill Area with your life!
In the corner of the cave, Mu Fan felt the unprecedented unity of will and belief around him, and was shocked in his heart.
These soldiers are using their lives to continue to fulfill the promises they made under the military flag, and defending the land beneath their feet with their blood.
When a war breaks out among humans to compete for survival resources, it is no different from the tragedy when I faced Zeger.
It's all about fighting to the death, it's about you dying and me dying.
Mu Fan's eyes reflected the reflections of these soldiers. However, when he heard the news that suddenly came from the black ear, Mu Fan's face was stunned, and then gradually cooled down.
…
"Hahahaha, Major Gary, your analysis is really insightful. It turns out that the 104th Division is a bunch of people who are stubborn from top to bottom. They are still fighting to the death. Do you really think that I will fill them in with my own troops?"
Colonel Quinton happily poured himself a glass of red wine, and then poured a glass for his adjutant.
"Reporting to the colonel, according to the news from Major Jerome of the 27th Infantry Company, the number of remaining soldiers in their unit is now less than 50, and it is still decreasing rapidly. When he issued a request for reinforcements, the battle line had been compressed by half. All signs indicate that,
The 27th Infantry Company is on the verge of collapse." Major Gary said with a smile.
"Then you stabilized yourself with the news that you promised rescue, and at the same time came to ask me for instructions to refute the rumors that had been spread before? You, you, you are really too insidious, like a fox." As he spoke, Quinton
He laughed again, smiled and waved his hands casually and said, "You did this beautifully, everything is as you said."
"By the way, Colonel, what should we do about the private sent by the superior military headquarters?" Major Gary suddenly asked at this time.
"That private? What's his name? Forget it, I can't remember the name. Let's just let him be the victim. From now on, we will keep in contact with the 27th Infantry Company at all times. We will officially enter the Fire Hill Area on the day they collapse."
The scarlet liquid in the swaying wine glass reflected the greedy look in Colonel Quinton's eyes.
Upon hearing his superior's instructions, Major Gary immediately stood up and stood at attention, and then prepared to give orders to go out.
"Drink the wine I gave you before you leave."
Colonel Quinton said with a smile, pointing to the full glass of red wine.
Finally, Major Gary began to implement Colonel Quinton's requirements.
Guang also prepared a speech to the military headquarters in advance in his mind, which was the news about Private Mu Fan's unfortunate situation in the war zone, but he did not send it out.
So far, things seem to be going well.
However, there are exceptions to everything!
The only and biggest exception to this matter is that the resident program separated by Heisi exists in the entire internal network of the 149th Division in an almost weird God mode.
Since it was a passively triggered monitoring mode, the 149th Division's alarm was never triggered.
However, when the document recorded by Major Gary was stored in the optical brain, the hacked split program happened to hit the key words about Mu Fan when it was routinely scanned.
The Trojan horse program in the medium wave transmission channel of the division headquarters was activated immediately. The body program of Master Hei, which was hundreds of kilometers away, completed the exchange of body and body in an instant at an incredible speed.
Lock keywords...
Carry out before and after variable analysis and communication analysis in the past two days.
In front of the all-pervasive Lord Black.
The near-Earth transmission network that everyone thought was safe was hacked and turned upside down!
Hei, who has intelligent analysis capabilities, is naturally not comparable to a dull resident program. After the information summarized piece by piece is sorted in a targeted manner.
Master Hei discovered the conspiracy designed by the 149th Division.
Then I got completely angry...
And when it passed everything to Mu Fan, Mu Fan happened to have finished listening to Major Jerome's mobilization work.
"Disband!"
Major Jerome raised his arms and the soldiers dispersed.
But in the end, Jerome saw Mu Fan in the corner with a cold face.
"Recruit, what's wrong?"
…
"I will not retreat. This is the place where 27th Company lost hundreds of lives to defend. Now you want me to give up!? You bastard."
Major Jerome roared angrily, and the head of the chicken coop was shaking with the owner's anger.
Mu Fan looked at the red-eyed major in front of him and shook his head.
…
"Go and prepare to activate the five mechas of the army."
The sixth-generation military standard mecha comes from the Weipu Magic Dragon Weapons Company in the First Sector. As one of the designated suppliers of the Federal Military Department, the product quality of the Weipu Magic Dragon Company is definitely worthy of the praise of excellent quality.
What Ling Mufan didn't expect was that the second-level sergeant major, Joe Pate, was actually a pilot.
When this long-time veteran walked out, he was greeted with admiring looks from all around.
In a head-on confrontation between ground troops, mechas are the well-deserved backbone.
Although there are many mecha troops, the main force will not stay in the old war zone where the situation has stabilized.
