The same tactics - using chariots to clear the way and support, Lu Yuan and Busujima Saeko guarding the wings with cold weapons, commandos following, h7n9 cutting off the rear... but without Tali's electromagnetic suppression and hacker technical support, the entire The process of breakthrough suddenly became three points more difficult.
But Team Lu finally reached their target and took over the town's overall defense.
This is a small town built on a river, with water on one side and forest on the other, both of which are unfavorable terrain for the geth to spread out.
The small towns in the interstellar colonies are of course the same as the small towns in the 21st century. In the pan-galactic era, colonial towns usually have two states - the first is the container mode. The restaurant is connected by several containers, the square is surrounded by more containers, etc... In short, the final constituent units of all kinds of strange buildings are standard containers; the second type is a high-rise building model, which represents the breakaway of the colony. After the stage of land reclamation, it entered a mature state and began to build its own landmark buildings.
The overall condition of Eden Planet is in the state of transition from the first stage to the second stage. Therefore, colonial towns, especially those near the capital, mostly use container buildings and high-rise buildings mixed together.
Therefore, according to the topography of the town and after rigorous calculations, Team Lu blasted two high-rise buildings one after another. A temporary "city wall" was formed from fallen buildings, suddenly tightening the section of the town that needed to be defended to a length of about two hundred meters. Lu Yuan's team grabbed this throat tightly and blocked the mountains and seas of geth groups from the outskirts of the town!
"Colonel. We have arrived at Oak Town! The first phase of the defense is in progress." Opening the multi-tool communication, Lu Yuan relied on an alloy storage box and reported to Colonel Mike Harovich while shooting.
"The time is four minutes late. If you have any problems, please report it! I will find a solution..." When Colonel Mike Harovich said this on the screen, he stood upright and his tone was quite sincere.
Lu Yuan looked behind him——
The wheels of another tank were blown up, and it will no longer be able to follow the land squad and can only stay in the colony as a fixed fort; the ammunition reserve of the vehicle-mounted weapons is less than one-tenth (the cooling rods of the vehicle-mounted weapons are different from those of small weapons and must not be There is no economical shooting state; the team, including Amon, is reduced by three members again... What is important is that the colonial residents are in extremely poor condition... or in other words, they have been defeated.
Heard of the commander who always commanded them. A young man named Jack was killed in battle. This may be a huge blow to the spontaneously organized militia!
They looked more tired and dazed than the residents of other towns... when the Lu team inserted themselves between them and the geth and took over the geth's attack. The colonists did not even begin to collect ammunition and prepare for a counterattack. They just sat around casually in the square behind the battle lines. in silence. Perhaps because of the large number of casualties and long battles, they entered the second stage of recruit battlefield syndrome in advance - excessive frustration, leading to a loss of confidence in victory, and at the same time, they fell into a state of exhaustion and numbness...
Lu Yuan saw Nan Lixiang put down his weapon, stood in the middle of the square, and said something loudly to the local militiamen...
He smiled and told the channel, "Everything is fine, Colonel. Nothing wrong!"
Of course it's not that there's really no problem, it's just...don't look at Colonel Mike Harovich in front of the camera. Show confidence! In fact, Lu Yuan knew more about Eden Star's wealth than he did. It's hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice. There are only a garrison of 200 people and a police force of less than 1,000 people scattered throughout the city. They only have so little armed force on hand. What can the colonel do? ! Even if Lu Yuan had laid countless back-up plans in advance, no amount of weapons would be enough in front of tens of millions of geth robots!
Just half an hour ago, Lu Yuan knew that the last batch of missiles had been launched. At this point, the missile reserve was completely exhausted, and all missile silos were immediately converted into temporary shelters for residents; although the 100+ door laser defense tower was still unscathed, it was due to lack of power. These Type 4 laser defense towers also had to enter a restricted shooting state... I guess Speaker Yang Hou should regret it so much that he wants to hit the wall now? ! Lu Yuan originally proposed building two more fusion power stations, but he rejected it without hesitation.
Now Colonel Mike Harovich still has the cards he can play. Only the 450 heavy howitzers are being sent out in batches. The number of cannonballs is also limited, and each shot can give Yang Hou a heart attack...
But relying on this not-so-good combination of cards, Colonel Mike Harovich reduced the number of attacking geth from 12 million to less than 4 million today! The numerous geth troop transports that were destroyed in the wilderness were all his achievements. It can be said that the colonel has tried his best to maximize the effect of the few cards in his hand. Lu Yuan really doesn't want to add burden to him.
After all, he is also the prospective father-in-law...
The two of them used holographic communication. Lu Yuan saw Mike Harovich's disheveled hair and the military uniform that was wet and dry with sweat. Of course, the colonel also saw the smoke on Lu Yuan's face, the tattered armor, and the crumbling bunkers around him.
"That's it! I'm waiting for your signal." The two men looked at each other through the communicator tacitly, and each understood the other's situation. "...the fastest reinforcements will arrive in six hours...it's true!" After saying that, the colonel saluted and hung up the communication.
"I really hope he is my soldier!" Colonel Mike Harovich said with emotion to the dark screen.
*****
The reason why I want to emphasize that the "news about reinforcements" is true is of course because in order to boost morale, the colonel has released news about reinforcements many times before...
"If you are still men, stand up! Do you see the back? That is your home! And the geth, they have no emotions! No pity! And no material needs! They will kill every living thing they see. , burn every building in sight, destroy all food and supplies! Until this planet becomes a ruin!"
Lu Yuan saw Nan Lixiang shouting with all her strength, but not many people listened to her.
Although Nan Lixiang has been a county police officer, she is a sniper of the SWAT team, not an ordinary police officer. She rarely has the opportunity to interact with ordinary people, let alone do mobilization work. What's more, Nan Lixiang herself has a hot temper... Lu Yuan used to be responsible for mobilizing the masses. This time Nan Lixiang took the initiative to take on this task. However, when she stood among this group of people, she realized how difficult it was!
She had just spoken a few words, but she was irritated by the numb expressions, distracted eyes, and casually throwing away their firearms. She couldn't help but get angry! "Pick up your gun!" Nan Lixiang angrily walked towards the guy who was sitting on the gun as a cushion!
"Madam!" A man holding a sniper rifle stood up and stood in front of her. "Thank you very much for coming to rescue us! But please understand... you have no right to force these people to pick up guns again."
"But not fighting means waiting to die!" Nan Lixiang shouted with wide eyes. "We still have the next location to rescue, and we can't protect you all the time..."
"It's okay. When that happens...please leave." The man smiled, actually very free and easy. "We fought, but we just couldn't win! Speaking of which... we are just ordinary civilians..." His words caused many low voices of agreement around him. "This battle has cost us many lives! They are all our relatives... friends... neighbors... We really can't hold on any longer, madam!"
A young girl ran over crying and threw herself into his arms. The man hugged her tightly with both hands, protecting her cheek in his arms. After a short while, he continued to say to Nan Lixiang, "Her father, my father... God! I really don't want to say this! Thank you for your support. If possible, I want to spend the last time Sharing it with the ones I love...thank you."
Feeling overwhelmed by what he said, Nan Lixiang left the square in a daze.
She saw the man hugging the crying girl tightly and returning to sit on the sidelines. There were even some cheers from the crowd, "Well said, Harry!", "That's it, Harry.", "I also want to spend some time with my family."... It seems that he is still a celebrity? !
In the end, Nan Lixiang could only throw her hands down angrily and said with some hatred. "If you can't even shoot a geth in the head, then I really have nothing to say!"
Lu Yuan shook his head. It seemed that Nan Lixiang was not suitable for this type of work. Although even if he takes action in person, the chance of success in direct persuasion is only one-third... but he will certainly not further intensify the conflict.
So the question is, if Lu Yuan's persuasion success rate is only one-third... then where did the remaining two-thirds come from?
You must know that so far, Lu Yuan has been able to successfully boost the morale of the local residents every time, and it never takes more than fifteen minutes! This is the secret to their high efficiency and consecutive victories.
But Lu Yuan is not a good talker like Sister Xue, who can talk the boss into committing suicide! Besides, he doesn't have that much time or patience. Then the only effective and effective method left to choose is "bravery"! A large-scale spell is cast, and the morale of all residents is instantly overflowing!
Don't think this is inhumane. The rhetoric of boosting morale is actually a means of manipulating people's hearts. It just looks more like "the people's own choice" and is not as demonizing as magic.
So he didn't have much resentment towards Nan Lixiang for messing up this step... What was important for the moment was to fight off this wave of geth attacks.
At this moment, Lu Yuan's communication channel suddenly sounded - "Captain, I'm back!" He heard Tully say this, her voice was a little deep. Lu Yuan stood up and saw Tali carrying a little girl on her back, climbing over the ruins of the building. (To be continued)
