As the system made a somewhat old-fashioned sound, the screen switched.
All 16 mechas are located on an assault ship at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and there is an anti-gravity device behind each mecha.
The battle network system also posted combat missions to the tactical helmets of each mecha division: capture the Hurricane Prisoner of War Camp and rescue no less than fifty prisoners of war.
This simulated battlefield is also derived from a real battlefield.
According to the real battlefield introduction sent to Tang Lang by Hu Daorou, the famous "Hurricane Project" was the most exciting special mecha battle completed by the Southwest Federation military during the battle between the Southwest Federation and Jiepen a hundred years ago.
one.
In the middle of the war, the war between the two countries was very tense. More than ten planets changed hands on the main battlefield spanning dozens of light-years from the border between the two countries. Many officers and soldiers from both sides were surrounded and captured before they had time to retreat.
Tang Lang was extremely familiar with the planet that was about to land. This was Shanhaixing, the former gateway to the Fluctlight Galaxy of the Federation. It would be called Lafite in the future. Both warring parties invested a large number of ground mecha troops on the planet.
Not to mention, outside the atmosphere, there were more than four main fleets from both sides fighting bloody battles in the starry sky.
There were more than a hundred starships that crashed on Planet Lafite. The large-caliber energy cannons fired from the starry sky to the ground for artillery reinforcements even erased the mountains on the planet and turned the jungle into a desert. But in the end, after the battle damage exceeded
After ten mecha divisions, the Southwest Federation Army finally regained a foothold on Lafite Planet and began to gather forces to launch an attack on the Jie Pen Army occupying the other hemisphere.
The famous "Hurricane Project" was the product of such a combat situation. After careful planning, a special mecha company was airdropped to the jungle hinterland controlled by the Jiepen people 1,500 kilometers away from the main force of the Southwest Federation. Although it went deep alone, it
Unexpectedly, he not only wiped out a mecha company of the Jiepen people in the prisoner of war camp, but also took 500 prisoners of war rescued from the prisoner of war camp to fight guerrilla warfare with the Jiepen people in the jungle, and finally fought with this special mecha company.
More than three-quarters of them died and suffered terrible battle losses until the arrival of the main federal force.
Although the entire army was almost wiped out, the meaning it conveyed was obvious. The Federation would not give up any Federation soldier. After learning that more than 300 of the more than 500 prisoners of war survived, the morale of the Federation army was greatly boosted, and the Battle of Lafite Star
After nearly two years of stalemate, it was finally fully recovered, which finally kicked off the federal army's all-out counterattack against Jeppon.
After the war, many military historians regarded the Battle of Lafite Star as the turning point in the war between the two countries in the southwest. Lieutenant General Lu Fei, then the commander-in-chief of the Lafite Star front line, was more willing to regard the "Hurricane Plan" as the turning point of the Battle of Lafite Star.
.His youngest son, Lieutenant Lu Ying, deputy commander of the special mecha company, died in this battle at the age of 27.
Unexpectedly, the Battle.net system would use such a famous battle as the battlefield blueprint.
It's just that the difficulty is obviously much greater than the previous battlefields. On the real battlefield, the Jiepen people had no idea that the federal military would use such an elite special mecha company to take a risk, the main force closest to the prisoner of war camp.
The troops were also 500 kilometers away, and the lax defenses of the defenders also gave the attackers an opportunity to take advantage of them.
But in this simulated battlefield, those guys from the military could just wait in the prison camp and wait for him to arrive. They are already extremely strong and have complete defenses, so how can they fight this battle?
Tang Lang could imagine the pain in the face of the team leader, the intermediate first-level mecha division leader, who instantly turned serious.
However, the Guards, who are responsible for attacking and bringing back at least fifty prisoners of war, also have their own advantages. The battle network system does not give a strict time limit. According to the information obtained by the Hob Meat stealthily invading the opponent,
It shows that the Battle.net system’s combat mission for them is to eliminate all infiltrating enemies within a limited time of 8 hours.
In other words, if 16 mechas can choose to lurk in search of suitable fighters after landing, the military mecha squad can no longer hide in turtle shells and wait for the enemy to come to them. They must enter the jungle to search. This is a problem for both sides.
The opportunity to have a fair fight in the jungle battle is also the only chance for the Guards to defeat them.
Of course, both parties entering the battlefield do not know the requirements and restrictions of the Battle.net system for each other. This is naturally intended to increase the uncertainty of the battlefield.
Therefore, while the starship is still hovering above the white clouds, the commander must first choose his landing point, which also sets the tone for the subsequent battle.
There are five landing points provided by the system, the farthest is 20 kilometers away from the target, and the nearest is 15 kilometers. Although the distance is longer, there are obvious benefits. Distances exceeding 20 kilometers are harder to be discovered.
; And the short distance naturally has its advantages, and it can catch the opponent by surprise.
In the end, the squad leader finally pointed his finger at one of the positions and made a decision.
It is located behind a mountain range to the southwest of the prisoner of war camp. It can not only conceal the landing of more than a dozen mechas at high altitude, but also use the mountains to establish temporary positions, which can be used to attack or defend.
Obviously, the commander was an extremely cautious person, and he chose a landing point that seemed to be the safest.
But Tang Lang didn't see it that way. The more secure the position, the more danger it contained. If it were a real battlefield, the Jiepen people would not know their arrival at all. This is undoubtedly a good landing point, and he would have done it too.
Such a choice, but not now. The federal military as the defender knew of their arrival, especially Tang Lang, who also knew of their combat mission. If their commander was radical enough and took a gamble to leave the prisoner of war camp and choose to ambush
As for the position, that place will become the best ambush point.
"I don't think this location may be good!" Tang Lang cautiously put forward his opinion.
"Boy, I don't know who you are, and I don't know how you squeezed out one of our brothers to get here. I don't know what your background is, but here, even though you are the king of heaven, I have to obey orders!
"Ming Warrior No. 1, who had already made a decision, looked at the Xiang Yu mecha controlled by Tang Lang and said coldly. "If you are afraid, be the last one to land! If your mecha is equipped with these long-range firepower
If it's not a decoration, maybe it can provide fire support for us in the air!"
"Haha! I don't expect fire support. Boy, don't wet your pants because you're scared in the air!" A person next to Tang Lang laughed loudly. "According to my experience, nine out of ten rookies will be in the air for the first time with a mecha.
I was so scared that I peed during the landing! Boy, don’t pollute the simulation cabin!”
"Haha!" Several people on the side laughed.
This is not a joke specifically aimed at Tang Lang, the alien who accidentally broke in. This is the truth. The mecha has an anti-gravity system when it is carried out for air landing, but it will basically not be turned on before it is 500 meters away from the ground.
This means that if you stay in a 20-ton behemoth like a mecha, you will fall thousands of meters in a free fall. Without simulation training, no matter how strong your nerves are, your face will turn pale with fear. They
In the first simulation training, almost everyone has experienced heat in the crotch.
Faced with the teasing of these temporary teammates, Tang Lang could only express his helplessness in the form of a mecha shrug. Not to mention mechas with anti-gravity systems, such as pediatric airborne landings. In his previous airborne raids, in order to avoid ground firepower
There are even records of parachute opening at a low altitude of 80 meters.
Out of respect for the commander, he did not express any further opinions. He could only hope that those guys in the military would not be so radical and engage in a gambling-style ambush before the battlefield even entered.
At this time, in the simulation room, Yan Xiaoqi showed a wry smile when he saw the battlefield selected by the Battle.net system. He did not expect that the Battle.net system would choose such a famous battlefield for special mecha combat. Not that
It's unfair to the Academy of Sciences Guard team as the attacker, but this battlefield is extremely complex, and it may even take more than 8 hours to determine the winner.
Lu Rou stood in front of Tang Lang's simulation cabin, facing the big screen showing the battle network situation, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists.
Two researchers were trying to persuade Lu Rou: "Xiaorou, why don't you leave here first and wait until the battle is over? It's still very early!"
Lu Rou was unmoved, still looking at the screen, her eyes filled with anger: "I'm right here. If he is destroyed in a while, when he comes out, I will beat this guy who is holding him back! If not, why are you pretending? 13
Ah! Look, he has disobeyed orders now."
"Ahem!" The two researchers secretly glanced at Academician Edward who was sitting on the other side drinking tea and watching the game in front of the big screen. Seeing his indifferent expression, they were relieved. If Ed, who was rumored to have a bad temper, was
Academician Hua is furious. I am afraid that Vice President Hua will not be able to protect this talented and beautiful trainee.
However, they also felt a sense of sympathy for Tang Lang in their hearts. If they were beaten and disgraced later, they would have to face the merciless rebuke of the enraged Academy of Sciences. This guy would definitely...
You will be hit hard!
And on the big screen at this time.
"Unfixed!"
"All weapons inspection!"
"Arrive at the landing point and escape!"
Holes were exposed in the belly of the starship, and the mechas left the starship vertically one after another, falling like meteors toward the depths of the mountains 2,000 meters below.
The guard members were obviously well-trained and kept standing in the air. When they were about 400 meters away from the ground, they turned on the anti-gravity devices one after another. All the mechas suddenly stopped in the air, falling freely from tens of meters to even
The speed of 100 meters per second slows down to more than 20 meters per second, which is the speed that the decompression rod of the mecha's mechanical leg can withstand the impact with the ground. If the anti-gravity system is turned on at full power, the speed can be reduced to even lower, but
The members of the guard did not do this. Obviously, they did not completely ignore Tang Lang's reminder. They landed at a higher speed in order to reduce the possibility of being attacked in the air.
Tang Lang was the last to leave the starship, and there was more than 20 seconds between him and the first commander to land. Before he could turn on the anti-gravity device, he heard a sudden thunderous roar in the air.
Several thick blue lights suddenly erupted from the mountains, directly hitting the first mecha which was still two to three hundred meters above the ground. And because a large amount of energy needs to be transferred into the anti-gravity device during the landing, almost all the mechas
A didn't open the energy shield.
At least five energy beams directly hit the black Ming warrior.
There was no energy shield, and although it was protected by level five armor, it was directly bombarded by five ion cannon energy beams and was directly beaten to pieces.
Before they could actually enter the battlefield, the commander of the 1st detachment of the Guards was already killed.
The intermediate first-level mecha master who had been judged dead in action exited the battle network, and the door of the simulation cabin opened, revealing the team members with faces full of disbelief. The fear of death still remained in the pupils, but more of despair:
"Why did they leave the prisoner of war camp, and why did they know we were landing here?"
"Because you think the location is safe, and they also think so." Tu Yu's voice came from the loudspeaker of the simulation cabin. "And the reason why they left the prisoner of war camp is because they did not intend to stick to the rules and come with you.
It's not an offensive and defensive battle, but a jungle pursuit! They don't take you seriously just because you have enough troops!"
"Despicable, even so, our people haven't even entered the jungle yet!" A researcher gnashed his teeth angrily.
But this time, no one answered him.
Including the squad leader who was beaten up, everyone knows one thing very well. On the battlefield, there is nothing despicable or not. Only by killing the enemy and surviving can you have the opportunity to discuss the issues of despicable and noble.
Obviously, the firepower on the ground will not end just by blowing up a mecha in the air. The 11 Ming warrior mechas have 22 ion cannons and 22 missile launchers. The blue beams are constantly piercing the sky, and the missiles are also carrying
The white tail flames attacked the mecha still in the air.
"Avoid, evade, open the energy shield!" The dozen mechas still in the air were like frightened chickens, and the communication channel was filled with constant exclamations.
The energy shields were opened one by one, and the anti-gravity system had insufficient energy, causing the falling speed to reach 30 meters per second. The mecha masters were obviously more willing to fall into a cripple than to be blown up in the air.
Their reaction speed was fast enough, but in front of opponents who had carefully set up ambush positions, they were still a little slow, and three mechas were beaten into fireworks in the sky.
"Shameless!" Lu Rou bit her lips tightly and punched the wall of Tang Lang's simulation cabin.
Before they even landed, the sixteen mechas turned into twelve. If we lose a few more mechas, how can we still fight this battle? We will definitely lose.
Such a result can be expected by any normal person.
Perhaps the only thing that gratifies the researchers at the Academy of Sciences is that the Ming Samurai mechas performed well. Two Ming Samurai were hit by three missiles respectively. Although the fifth-level armor was torn and looked miserable, the chest armor area was specially used for
In the sixth-level armor, the mecha master was shaken to the point of dizziness, but he was not judged dead in the end, which showed a strong enough defense. If it had been replaced by an 8th-generation mecha, it is estimated that two more people would have been added to the death list.
Already.
Then, two ion cannons carrying twelve missiles swooped down from the sky, exploding the ground into a sea of fire. The firepower of the crazy shelling on the ground was embarrassed.
Everyone looked up in shock.
At an altitude of nearly 800 meters, the so-called "Xiang Yu" mecha with a very cool appearance and a lot of external long-range firepower did not turn on the anti-gravity device. It lay head down, arms stretched forward, and equipped with a pair of mechanical weapons.
The ion cannons on his arms were firing wildly, and the somewhat exaggerated honeycomb-shaped missile launchers on his shoulders fired a salvo of twelve missiles.
But what’s amazing is definitely not the firepower.
Rather, he was not only able to adjust his center of gravity during a high-speed fall, but what was even more frightening was that at a height that was close to the limit of the anti-gravity system, he had no intention of turning on the anti-gravity device.
The altimeter was decreasing by 100 meters almost every second. In just one breath, the altitude dropped from 800 meters to 500 meters. However, the other mecha was still bombarding and had no intention of adjusting its center of gravity to land safely.
"Here, this guy is a ruthless person!" A researcher was stunned.
Although he is not a soldier, the "Xiang Yu" mecha's determination to protect his teammates even if it crashes to pieces on the ground is definitely enough to shock everyone.
Even Lu Rou, who had a deep resentment towards Tang Lang, had her eyes fixed on him at that moment!
Lu Rou, who comes from a military family, naturally understands the difficulty of this choice. No one wants to sacrifice, but sometimes, they have to sacrifice.
Her great-uncle who died in the jungle of Lafite Planet said this in the last voice message left to his family: Mom, I don’t want to die, but I’m sorry, the Jiepen people are here again, and my son may live.
No more, sorry!
Before he sacrificed, he must have missed this world very much, but he had to sacrifice because the Jiepen people came and he had to fight.
Even if the man now is only on the Internet, not everyone wants to experience the fear of 70% death experience. As the last one to land, he has time to wait for his comrades to land and launch a counterattack.
If you land again, your chance of survival is higher than 80%.
Although the long-range firepower of Tang Lang's mecha could not be said to be very powerful, it was obvious that he did not expect that he would suffer such a blow on the ground, and the firepower that hit the sky in an instant was reduced by at least one-third.
The missing one-third, coupled with the suddenly accelerated falling speed of the mecha, undoubtedly allowed the mecha to better avoid gunfire. The energy shields of each mecha have also been opened, so in the next few seconds, several mechas
A landed safely and launched a frantic attack on surrounding fire points.
At this time, Tang Lang's mecha has dropped to a height of 200 meters. He will fall to the ground like a meteor in only two seconds at most. At this time, even if he turns the power of the anti-gravity device to the maximum, at least
An instantaneous load of more than fifteen g could rupture the blood vessels in his brain!
Everyone no longer had any hope of survival for Tang Lang.
Even watching helplessly, Xiang Yu's mecha once again completed the incredible adjustment of its center of gravity in the air. Like a divine soldier descending from the sky, it dropped its speed to more than 30 meters per second at an altitude of 80 meters above the ground, and landed on the ground more than two seconds later.
.
There was silence in the simulation room.
All eyes were focused on the steel giant that threw up a cloud of dust on the ground.
Human beings always have a sense of luck.
Iron giant, as tall as a mountain!
It looked cool, but everyone's heart sank uncontrollably.
...
ps: I’m too lazy to divide it into chapters, so I’ll just post this big chapter! It’s 5,200 words, ahem, which is just 1,000 words less than usual. Mainly because I had a cold and a headache yesterday for some reason, and my sister called back from Wuhan and said
For the sake of safety, Fengyue is not coming back. She feels a little worried! Wuhan, you have to hold on! Where can my sister live?
