At 3:45 in the afternoon, Colonel Billy Budd looked at his watch and said to the six students:
"In 10 minutes, the Osiris will enter the Caspian Sea. Do you remember the tactics for this mission?"
"Remember!" everyone replied in unison.
"You are all elites selected by me, and I believe in you. But..."
He looked at a black boy wearing glasses.
"Luke, this is your first actual battle. Don't rush in without my order!"
"As you command!"
The black boy Luke Rand stood at attention and saluted with a stream of cold sweat on his forehead. Behind him is the completed "Ten Swords" No. 4 machine - "Phoenix".
…
At 3:55 pm, the Osiris sailed slowly into the Black Sea close to the Caucasus Mountains. As soon as the stern of the ship entered the Black Sea, two missiles flew out of the sea and directly hit the bottom of the Osiris.
"It's an electromagnetic pulse missile!"
"Switch to the preparation system!"
As the most advanced warship, the Osiris is not afraid of electromagnetic pulse attacks. It only takes 5 seconds to switch to the secondary system, and the electronic equipment on the ship quickly resumes operation.
But these 5 seconds are enough for the new European Union's humanoid weapon "Partner Cavalry" to attack.
"One, two, and a total of three 'Partner Cavalry' flew out from the south!"
Shepard patted his thigh and said, "The 'Old Fox' turned his back so quickly!"
The New EU's "Partner Cavalry" is currently the only variable humanoid weapon that can be mass-produced by various forces. It can switch between humanoid weapon mode and fighter mode. Although this kind of deformation structure is very simple, it is a "lying down deformation". The limbs of the humanoid weapon are still exposed in fighter mode, but this is a technical capability that other forces can't match.
These three "Partner Cavalry" quickly approached the Osiris in fighter mode, but the Osiris was in no hurry to fight back.
Colonel Billy Budd noticed this and immediately ordered the three "Partner Cavalry" to retreat.
But it was too late. As soon as a partner cavalry completed its U-turn, it was hit by a laser beam fired from the woods on the east coast of the Caspian Sea.
"Colonel! One of the Companion Troopers has been destroyed!"
"Damn it! I have to write a review again!" Billy hammered the armrest of the seat hard. As the technological crystallization of the new European Union, each "Partner Cavalry" is expensive to build, and training a driver is even more difficult. So much so that every time a battlefield commander loses a plane, he has to write a thick review.
"Every aircraft pay attention to the woods on the southeast coast. The aircraft on the Osiris that can carry out laser sniper attacks must have been ambushed there first!"
Billy Budd's judgment was good, and the Osiris was also prepared. The reason why it entered the Black Sea at a slow speed was to cooperate with the "hundred steps" of advancing on the ground.
"I destroyed one, now go to point B."
Sergeant Anton put away the sniper rifle sight and drove the "Hundred Steps" in the woods to change the hiding spot.
"Team A lands on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea, and Team B defends the deck!"
Captain Shepard gave an order, and the two humanoid weapons teams A and B, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly and orderly left the hangar, with five humanoid weapons each. Lin Ao's No. 2 machine was additionally assigned to the B team.
Watching the five aircraft of Team A jumping off the Osiris with parachutes, Billy knew that they were heading towards the attack position of the three partner cavalry, and he quickly issued an order:
"Unit No. 1 and I will hold off the landing troops. Units No. 2 and 4 will pay attention to the ground and continue to attack the Osiris. 'Phoenix' is on standby!"
Just hearing a roar, a black modified version of the "Partner Cavalry" that was different from other white-painted "Partner Cavalry" took off from the southern coast of the Black Sea. This is Billy Budd's special machine - "Brutus". The name commemorates Lucius Junius Brutus, the first consul of Rome.
After "Brutus" attacked, he immediately transformed into a humanoid weapon and entered the woods in order to avoid the sniper attack. Judging from the shape of the "Partner Trooper", its huge wings that cannot be stowed away are very dangerous when entering a place like the woods. But Billy Budd operated with ease in the woods, something only a few drivers could do.
"amazing."
Anton couldn't help but admire Billy's skills. He stared at the radar, waiting for the "Brutus" signal to appear.
There is a new element discovered from the universe in the outer armor of humanoid weapons in the RX era. Because it is an element that humans have never come into contact with, the HER researchers who first discovered it named it "Element A". HER used new elements to develop humanoid weapon outer armor materials they called "HER materials." After various forces copied this technology, they named it "A material", and "A" refers to "A element".
In addition to being used to produce outer armor for humanoid weapons, "A Element" also has the ability to shield radar signals, making humanoid weapons "invisible". But this "invisibility" has limitations, and it cannot be detected by radar only 100 meters away. Therefore, today's humanoid weapons are basically equipped with small radar devices. After approaching the enemy's humanoid weapon, the small radar will mark its position, and each aircraft will share the enemy's position through other signal channels. If the enemy is in an inaccessible position, it is necessary to rely on the humanoid weapon's camera to "see" the enemy first, and then use the computer to calculate the enemy's distance to assist the driver in aiming.
Anton is now waiting for Team A's radar to mark the location of "Brutus".
Billy naturally knew this, and he used the mobility of "Brutus" to harass Team A in the woods. However, Team A also discovered the physical disadvantage of the opponent's aircraft. They concentrated in the woods that the "Brutus" could not penetrate. They were back to back and shot at the sight of the enemy's shadow.
"Tsk, although the boat is new, the drivers are all veterans." Billy sighed.
Back in the sky, the remaining two "Partner Cavalry" entered an angry state because their comrades were shot down, and continued to harass Team B on the deck, especially Lin Ao's No. 2 machine. But they did not lose their minds because of their anger. After one completed the attack, it immediately raised its fuselage to avoid enemy fire, and the other attacked alternately to prevent the firepower from being interrupted.
Lin Ao struggled to aim, hesitant and unable to pull the trigger. His No. 2 machine has been hit by the opponent's machine gun several times. Although it has not penetrated the outer armor, it has been penetrated before.
"Don't panic! Shoot when you are confident and move the position appropriately."
Old Jack said to Lin Ao.
"If it's difficult to aim, you can attack with the machine gun on your head. There are many bullets, so it doesn't matter if you miss." AI reminded Lin Ao.
Lin Ao was also angry because the AI did not provide his location to others in time, causing him to walk lamely for several hours. But he still listened to this suggestion. He activated the machine gun above his head and cooperated with the shooting of other members of Team B to form a firepower network, temporarily forcing back two enemy planes.
"Colonel! We're stopped!"
"Hold on a little longer!"
Billy stopped playing hide and seek with Team A on the ground and fired two missiles at Team A. These two missiles destroyed the arm of a humanoid weapon of Team A and plunged the remaining members into a sea of flames.
"I caught you!" Li Sigao shouted, his radar just scanned "Brutus".
"I don't even care for the woods on my own territory. The ozone layer is crying!" Anton had been waiting for a long time and pulled the trigger in the direction of "Brutus".
A laser beam shot out from the east bank, burning through everything in its path. "Brutus" took off in an emergency, but his right foot was still burned off.
"Good marksmanship...but that's where it ends!"
The moment just now also exposed Anton's position. "Brutus" transformed into a fighter jet mode at low altitude, and reached the east coast at the fastest speed. After seeing Anton's "Baili", he transformed again at low altitude, drew out his thermal saber and stabbed "Baili".
This series of actions can cause even the best pilots to faint or suffer internal injuries due to excessive continuous pressure. But Billy Budd is the best of the best, and he is the only one in the entire new EU who can complete these actions while ensuring his own safety.
"caught you!!"
The thermal saber was still a few meters away from piercing the interior of "Baili". At the critical moment, a series of bullets were suddenly fired from the woods on the left side of "Baili", hitting "Brutus" and causing the balance of its fuselage to be shaken. destroy. Billy Budd was forced to give up such a precious opportunity to attack and retreated to the safety of the woods.
"Hahaha! I have never encountered such a difficult opponent!"
Billy also praised Anton. It turned out that there was an engineering team of the Osiris lurking in the woods. They had placed devices near several hiding spots to allow the machine gun to fire automatically. They were the ones who had just activated the nearby machine guns and forced Billy back.
Now the interior of the east bank woods was no longer safe. Billy didn't know how many automatic machine guns Anton had prepared, let alone where they were placed. He could only take off again and fire a missile at Anton, forcing him to retreat to other hiding spots.
"It's really tricky...Luke, it's your turn to go on the field and support your teammates in the sky!"
"Colonel! A red humanoid weapon appears behind the Osiris, informing us that we are approaching the battlefield!"
"What?" Billy looked towards the direction of the Caucasus Mountains and saw on the top of the mountain, the driver of the Red Knight "Xiahou Dun", killing in the direction of the Osiris with a high profile...
