A quarter of an hour ago.
The watch time showed eleven forty-five at night, a time close to midnight. Most of the Renaissance soldiers stationed outside the reserve have already fallen asleep. The day's work and training have exhausted their energy. Except for routine patrols and light and dark sentries, the ruins that were quickly transformed into an advance base are silent. .
Chen Xiaoxiang was no exception. She was on the first night shift. After the handover, she lay exhausted in the dog hole under the trench. That is to say, it is an air-raid shelter dug in a trench. It is completely appropriate to call it a dog hole. The low entrance does not even need a complete tarpaulin to cover it tightly. It is full of soldiers sleeping in the same position as dogs, with their arms touching their heads. His thighs were on his calves, and he was snoring loudly. The male and female soldiers of the Renaissance Army are used to living together. Although some strictly prohibited things may occasionally happen in certain places at certain times, on the battlefield, when everyone is tired and half dead, no matter how strong the hormones are, they cannot be dissipated. The smell of sweat and feet will be eliminated.
"Damn it, move on." Chen Xiaoxiang kicked Luo Weicheng's foot with a big leather boot. The latter mumbled a few words in confusion, turned over and left a space. Chen Xiaoxiang was so tired that he didn't want to say anything more. He didn't take off his boots. He simply took off his carrying gear, put the gun in the gun rack, and squeezed into the smelly floor. She also wanted to sleep in a clean reserve with real beds, but someone had to be on the ground to monitor it. This is not the hometown of the Huijiangnan Renaissance Army, so they can do whatever they want.
As soon as her head touched the backpack that served as a pillow, Chen Xiaoxiang was instantly overwhelmed by the overwhelming feeling of exhaustion. A bunch of strange feelings and scenes immediately appeared in her head, which were signs of falling asleep. But before she fell asleep completely, a sharp explosion brought her back to reality from her dream. She was stunned for less than a second, then jumped up immediately, picked up her carrying gear with one hand, rushed to the gun rack and picked up the rifle, while Shout: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
After the sound of a cannon, there were continuous shells blasting through the air. The sharp whistling sound passed over the base and instantly covered the material storage yard. Those airlifted materials that had not had time to be moved into the reserve warehouse were either taken out from the reserve warehouse. The supplies all turned into fireballs and turned into a pile of expensive ashes.
Ma Yuanguo's reaction was only a little slower than Chen Xiaoxiang's. This ruthless man who climbed out of the punishment camp would sleep with one eye open. He grabbed Chen Xiaoxiang who was about to rush out, and held her down in the air-raid shelter to wait for the bombardment. complete. I can’t figure out what’s going on now! Where can the gray savages have such density of firepower for bombardment? Even though there were a few mortars, they were old-fashioned items. From the sound of explosions, they were definitely heavy mortars of over 80 mm or shells from small field guns. Maybe it's probably a commando from the Moslos Empire!
Every second of hiding in the air raid shelter was torture. The excavated trenches were reinforced with quick-drying cement and logs. Although there were no building materials such as rails that could defend against heavy artillery, a bit of artillery fire could not do much damage. But the continuous rumbling noises and the trembling ground made the soldiers who had never experienced the devastating modern war before the war couldn't help but feel trembling. Some trenches that had been built carelessly were blown down, and half the squadron was destroyed. Many people were buried alive, while elsewhere, large amounts of disintegrated soil leaked into people's clothes, causing extreme psychological pressure.
The suffocating bombardment lasted for about five or six minutes. Although it was an extremely short bombardment, it lasted as long as half a century. In this area, the Renaissance Army's superior firepower cannot be used. How can heavy artillery be transported here? Crossing rivers and forests, how many mules and horses can a 105mm howitzer kill?
No, what about the ultra-light 155mm howitzer that was lifted by a helicopter?
Don't get blown up!
Chen Xiaoxiang rushed out of the position with a gun. Under the continuous flares, her face was half white and half blood red. She dug through the trench to find the semi-underground emplacement of the 155 ultra-light gun not far away. It didn't matter if she didn't look at it. It was fatal. The cannon, which was made of titanium alloy and was incredibly expensive, was covered in human body fragments. Most of the gun crew was killed in the first round of shelling. The two who survived were trying their best to reset the frame. gun. ..
"Xiao Luo and I are going to help! Lao Ma, hold on!"
Chen Xiaoxiang shouted loudly and jumped out like a rabbit. Luo Weicheng behind her ran out without hesitation, shuttled between the lines of fire that had formed, and reached the gun position in the blink of an eye.
「
How to do it! How to do it! "Chen Xiaoxiang shouted.
"Place the hoe, pull the gun mount, and measure the shooting elements!" The gunner covered in the blood of his comrades said a lot of troublesome terms in one breath. Fortunately, Chen Xiaoxiang graduated from a regular non-commissioned officer academy and knew these things without saying anything. Then start getting started. Her exoskeleton is in the maintenance room of the reserve. No matter how light the ultra-light cannon is, it is still a behemoth with a total weight of nearly four tons. It is much heavier than an ordinary car. Without mechanical assistance, it is difficult to handle it by manpower alone.
"Ahhhhh!" Chen Xiaoxiang tried her best to push the cannon holder, but it didn't move at all. As if she heard her howl, the cannon started to move slowly on its own. When she looked back, she saw that it was Luo Weicheng who had activated the hydraulic button. , the cannon began to transform into a combat posture on its own.
Chen Xiaoxiang just glanced at Luo Weicheng, and then continued to push the gun mount and fix it into the pit where it should be. At this time, another exoskeleton infantry came. With his assistance, the cannon was finally in place. The preparations were completed in almost ten minutes after the bombardment began.
"High-explosive bomb filling!"
"Personnel avoidance!"
"complete!"
"Fire!"
The gunner pulled the match rope, and the cannon instantly exploded into a ball of extremely blazing fireworks. The powerful recoil caused the stationary hoe to pierce deeply into the soil. The flying dust set off a gust of wind. If someone stood at the muzzle, he could He was blown away and deafened!
The loader was naturally an exoskeleton infantryman. He immediately put the 155mm shell in his arms into the muzzle of the gun. The semi-automatic loading machine pushed the shell into the gun bore, and immediately fired again.
Chen Xiaoxiang put up a pergola with her hands and looked towards the direction where the previous shelling came from. She couldn't see anything, and she didn't know who she was hitting. But she had to act. She jumped back into the trench, picked up a 20mm machine gun that had been blown away, checked the ammunition, and fired over her shoulder. Tracer bullets with red light swept in the direction of the shelling that had cleared her sight.
While the infantry were frantically unleashing their firepower, the infantry fighting vehicles guarding the surface also showed off their power. This Type 03 infantry fighting vehicle used a 76mm low-speed tank gun, and a 30mm rotary cannon was connected to the barrel. The tongue of fire it spits out is undoubtedly the brightest fire whip in the night sky. Those trees that have grown for a hundred or two hundred years will be broken in half if they are whipped. The armor of an infantry fighting vehicle, which is only a few centimeters thick, cannot stop any armor-piercing projectiles launched by tanks, but it can give the crew the greatest sense of security on a battlefield without anti-tank weapons.
Using the infrared night vision device, the infantry tank commander saw the bright red area outside the position. Before he could speak, the gunner with his eyes on the scope shouted: "March Helmet Rat!"
The jungle outside the position was suddenly covered with a very tight black carpet, swallowing up the meager moonlight. After that, there were countless red dots that could be seen clearly without infrared night vision devices. They were the red eyes of countless helmeted rats. , why one hundred thousand?
"Highest combat readiness! All units, stop the beast tide from attacking!" The commander's voice came over the radio. As the reinforcements arrived, the commander immediately changed from a mere second lieutenant to a major. There are now nearly three hundred people here, and they have heavy firepower. They must stay here for honor and survival!
"Xiao Liu! Kill the explosive bomb!" the commander shouted. At the same time, he was controlling the revolving cannon to fire continuously, and bullet casings as dense as rain fell from the muzzle and into the collection bag. The fierce fire storm beat the incoming tide of helmeted rats to pieces, but they were completely invisible. Change, not even the temporary void can be seen!
The number is mind-numbing!
The loader moved a not very heavy 76mm red-label grenade from the rear bomb bay, and the automatic loader loaded it into the gun barrel. "Shoot! Shoot!"
The commander operated the machine cannon, and the cannonballs as thick as fingers were like a steel whip, lashing out at the group of helmeted rats rushing out of the forest. Another machine gun on the front of the car, which was in charge of the driver, also fired. The fast-loading howitzer crashed into the tide of beasts, finally causing a stir. But when the 155mm gun lowered its muzzle and started shooting at the baseline, the earth-shaking movement In the explosion on the ground, a large gap appeared in the beast tide, and it was filled in again!
"Don't save bullets, shoot them all!" Squad leaders at all levels told the soldiers to let go and never save bullets as they did before. Even so, the beast tide also crossed the one-thousand-meter line, and then the eight-hundred-meter line. Soon, the sharp-eyed soldiers discovered that there were even larger mutant beasts that could actually reach
Other species mixed in with the marching helmet rat tide?
"Werewolves! Ghouls!"
A fountain of mud mixed with black, red, and brown colors erupted from the black carpet, and the trenches at the forefront even felt the crackling sound of fine pieces of flesh hitting their helmets.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Just as everyone was dealing with the joint attack of the helmeted rats and the human wolves, the trees at the end of the dense forest collapsed, and the beating and roaring were loud! Three violent bears that were as big as a heavy truck stood up. Their V-shaped collars were the only difference in color on their bodies. They ran towards the position. Every step they took, they trampled countless helmeted rats to death. !
"Position of the second car! Big Bear!" There was a back-and-forth communication between the commanders. One commander had already ignored the prohibition against firing fin-stabilized armor-piercing ammunition without permission from his superiors. He loaded the armor-piercing ammunition and started shooting. The commander was even worried. A grenade cannot kill a bear.
But that’s a bear weighing more than ten tons! Is it now the prehistoric Jurassic?
"Permission to shoot! Commanders at all levels! Fire freely! Fire with armor-piercing rounds!"
The turret ring of the infantry fighting vehicle moved rapidly, and the dark muzzle of the No. 2 vehicle was aimed at the three extremely conspicuous violent bears. "Shoot!" The moment a long armor-piercing bullet rushed out of the muzzle, it bounced off the shell cases on both sides. The 1,700-meter exit speed gave the armor-piercing bullet carrier the invincible kinetic energy to kill gods and demons.
Hit? Hit!
