"Report, the wireless communication base has been installed and the communication is normal!"
A report came from outside the car. Zhou Jinru lowered his head and looked at the full signal on the electronic screen. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How is the engineering team doing in setting up the ground defense line?"
"Sir, there is construction going on ahead. The drone detected two kilometers forward and found no abnormalities."
A resounding reply came from the communication link, proving that all equipment was functioning normally.
Judging from the floor plan, most of the buildings in this block are small buildings with two or three floors. According to the translation expert's notes, this was originally a commercial area. After the night in the empty city, most of the buildings that had been in disrepair collapsed, and the rest They were also dangerous buildings that were inaccessible. Even before they arrived, the troops stationed here had used the building materials on hand to partially reinforce them, barely leaving an output point for the high-level troops to enter.
"It's enough to fight positional warfare."
Zhou Jinru commented that he is now a layman and does not understand the military fighting methods of the Terra world. Although he is very reluctant to admit it, as a mercenary, Rhode Island's hard power is not enough in the face of large-scale war. He is cautious not to Express your own opinions and let the two staff members make the decision.
He cannot go out at this time. Before exiting the battlefield, he must stay in the command vehicle, because on the battlefield, a command vehicle with bulletproof function can protect his life as much as possible. Before there is no shield value, a person A sniper can easily take his head.
"Your Excellency Aguang, the conclusion we have discussed is to establish layers of defense lines in this neighborhood. Our fundamental purpose is to prevent any enemy troops from passing through here. If necessary, we can seek support from our comrades beside us. They will certainly not We will stand idly by, after all, once we are defeated, the sides of the advancing troops will be exposed to the enemy's edge, and no party can bear such losses."
Zhou Jinru nodded. He looked at the electronic screen and saw that all the operators had entered the combat position. The heavy-armed troops in the front row had put up large shields, and the engineering troops who had set up ground defenses had officially retreated.
As they retreated into the defensive line, Zhou Jinru asked, "How many fragmentation mines do we have?"
A staff officer reported the exact number and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
"There is no other meaning. Just set up some in these places. If they don't detonate, they can be recycled after the war."
Zhou Jinru pointed to the side of the sniper platform and said, after all, some places are still difficult to defend. They are blocking the main roads, and some side roads cannot be taken care of.
"Can be executed."
The two staff officers unanimously agreed with Zhou Jinru's statement and rearranged the engineering troops to set up fragmentation requirements. At this moment, the battle on the frontal battlefield was about to break out. The two sides launched a tentative attack in a park area in the ruins of Area 59.
On the electronic screen, the blue side representing the gantry officially came into contact with the red side of the integrated movement. Ten minutes later, the two sides separated at the first touch, and the gantry temporarily controlled an area.
Zhou Jinru noticed that the area was the contested land that the two sides had repeatedly changed hands before.
"There's nothing strange about the drone?"
he asked.
Then I got a positive answer, so I felt a little calmer.
He lowered his head and glanced at the distribution map of the drone group in the abandoned city. The two staff officers did not ask any questions after seeing it. Just as he was about to put away the drawing, he caught a glimpse of the corner of the drawing and asked casually: "What if the troops who were fighting encountered an unmanned aerial vehicle?" What should we do with the fleet?"
A staff officer said seriously: "The drone swarm will patrol the abandoned city at fixed times. Once a large-scale drone swarm arrives, both sides will consciously cease their activities. After all, no one can withstand the bombing that washes away the ground."
Zhou Jinru said thoughtfully: "So the current retreat of the integration movement is related to the imminent arrival of the drone swarm? Have you ever tried to artificially interfere with the arrival time of the drone swarm?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Aguang, a long time ago, military experts mentioned using drone swarms to eliminate the integration movement, but this cannot be established because the drone swarms in abandoned cities are not rigid operating procedures. There is a master with logic behind it.”
Zhou Jinru nodded. Longmen must have noticed everything he could think of. After all, the other party was an enemy, so he would do anything to eliminate the enemy.
Ten minutes later, the communication base stopped working, and the electronic equipment in the command car also stopped operating. Zhou Jinru looked out through the car window and saw a dense swarm of drones flying over the sky, blocking the sky and the sun. The whole sky was darkened.
He had never seen such a spectacular scene. He was as curious as the citizens who raised their heads and watched curiously when the German army bombed London.
"Your Excellency Aguang, all communications are currently interrupted. The equipment cannot be restarted until the drone swarm is no longer visible to the naked eye. We are all exposed to their scanning range, and the master behind it will default us to this city. residents and therefore will not launch an attack."
Therefore, in the ruins of Area 59, and even in the entire abandoned city, both Gantry and the Integration Movement consciously prohibit the operation of air units in order to avoid drone swarms.
"Let me ask a digression, how does your Longmen deal with the collapsed buildings here?"
The consultant unexpectedly said: "Longmen has a treatment plan for construction waste, and the reuse rate has reached 95%."
Zhou Jinru asked this question entirely out of personal thoughts. Before he could say anything more, an explosion suddenly came from outside, shocking him so much that he almost stood up from his seat.
"what happened?"
"Check it! What happened?!"
This explosion touched everyone's nerves, and the entire defense line was on emergency alert. An embarrassing report was quickly received. A soldier from the engineering force accidentally triggered a fragmentation mine. Fortunately, the people around him pulled him away, but he suffered only a few injuries. He was slightly injured and has now been transferred to a temporary field hospital in the rear.
"Crisis averted."
The staff officer wiped the sweat from his forehead. Everyone was nervous in this environment. Zhou Jinru took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and gave them to them. Ansuo took away a few pieces of the candy the Rat King gave him and gave it to them again. A little turtle, now only three or four pieces are left.
He tore off the candy wrapper and stuffed the sugar cube into his mouth. He forced a smile and said, "Our place is relatively remote and doesn't attract much attention. Maybe we are too nervous."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a gunshot from the front. Zhou Jinru's expression changed. The electronic screen in front of him was dark. The drone swarm had just passed by, and the electronic equipment had not yet returned to normal operation. Unexpectedly, there was really an integration movement coming!
"It's not the first time, it doesn't matter." The staff officer comforted him.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of cutting through the air. A grenade landed in the open space not far from the command vehicle, blasting out a black crater. The air wave generated even pushed the command vehicle horizontally. Some distance away!
