"Boss, attack the big boss directly. This doesn't conform to the routine of the novel." Bao Tong chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Meng Qingxiao didn't understand.
"Have you never read novels? In all novels, when attacking certain levels and fortresses, they advance gradually from weak to strong. The boss is not attacked until the end of the story. This is not only true in novels, but also in games. ." Bao Tong explained, "If we enter the Shouhuang Palace now, wouldn't it be equivalent to skipping all the intermediate levels and facing the ultimate boss directly?"
"Then you mean we make a big circle first and run to the back mountain to attack Fulanting?"
"Hehe, no more. That's what I said. What I actually want to say is that our joint team really doesn't take an unusual path."
Li Xiaoguo said disdainfully: "I don't have any common sense. This is an ordinary road. All tourists used to walk this way. They came up from Qiwang Tower, passed by Zhou Shang Pavilion, visited the Shouhuang Palace first, and then divided into two groups and went according to their own preferences. Decide whether to go to Yong'en Hall or Guande Hall first, and then go down the mountain. As for the other four pavilions, generally few people make a special trip to see them."
Meng Qingxiao ignored their quarrel and thought about the problem seriously.
It can be seen from the photos taken by the satellite that there is indeed no one in the Shouhuang Palace, but Meng Qingxiao has suffered a loss once, but he can't believe that there is really no ambush there. He must be fully prepared before he can go up.
According to Weasel's description, there must be at least 400 more mutants on this mountain, and there are only 75 of them left.
With such a huge disparity in strength, if he were the boss of the mutants, he would definitely issue an order to gather all the mutants and launch a general attack on the joint team. Even if the losses were heavy, they would not care too much about the lives of ordinary mutants. , the combined team will definitely be wiped out.
So why didn’t the mysterious mutant boss adopt this plan?
Since they attacked Qiwang Tower, no one has supported Niu Jian. This can be explained as a sudden attack by the joint team. The mutants in other places don't know about it. So what about when they attacked Zhou Shang Pavilion?
By then, all the mutants on the Long Live Mountain should have known about it, right?
But there was still no movement on other hills.
Oh, it can be explained. After all, Weasel's skills can't distinguish between friends and foes, and he has more than 200 brothers. His other seven brothers probably also believed in Weasel's abilities, so they didn't come to support him.
But for the next action, we have to guard against it. They are likely to affect the whole body. No matter which building they attack, there will be mutants in other buildings coming to support them.
If they enter the Longevity Palace rashly, they will most likely be made dumplings by a large number of mutants.
The reason why Meng Qingxiao loudly announced that his next target of action was the Shouhuang Palace during the lecture was actually not for his team members, but for the ears that might exist in the dark.
He will definitely attack the Shouhuang Palace, but he will not bring everyone with him. He just wants to create the illusion that he is about to launch a general attack on the Shouhuang Palace, and then let other mutants go to support him.
He didn't reveal much to his men, so many people believed it, such as Bao Tong and Li Xiaoguo, who thought they were really going to launch a general attack on Shouhuang Palace.
However, some people still guessed more details, because Meng Qingxiao sent out many drones in batches to conduct reconnaissance on the entire Long Live Mountain, and there were countless robots on the ground running all over the mountains and plains.
It is important to mention that these robots are not war machines, but civilian equipment, and their scientific name is ground penetrating radar.
Although he had obtained complete information about Long Live Mountain and had satellites in the sky to help monitor it, Meng Qingxiao was still worried because there were caves everywhere on the mountain, and these mutants had almost hollowed out the entire mountain.
Satellites cannot see the situation underground, so they need ground-penetrating radar. However, ground-penetrating radar cannot help him detect where the enemy is hiding, so if Meng Qingxiao wants to win, he must find another way.
Last time, a lot of people in the joint team died because of the gas masks. The military department was obviously a little guilty, so it promptly repaired the situation and replenished the gas masks for them. In addition, at Meng Qingxiao's request, it also updated them. He has purchased a lot of equipment, the most noteworthy of which is the air cannon.
This is a weapon that only exists in science fiction works. Now it has finally been developed by the weapons research and development department, but it is still in the testing stage, and the joint team is the tester.
The effective attack distance of the air cannon is only ten meters, and the sound is very small, which is only about 10 times the sound caused by blowing bubble gum, and the gunshot and the sound of blowing bubble gum are almost exactly the same.
It is said to be an air cannon, but it is actually just a short-barreled gun with a very cartoon shape. The gun body is 29.28 centimeters long and the barrel is slightly larger with a diameter of 7.2 centimeters.
The recoil of this gun is very large because it requires compressed air to fire, and it does not have unlimited ammunition because the battery power is limited and can only support about 30 rounds of shelling, and the floating range is within 3 guns.
After getting the air cannon, Meng Qingxiao conducted a test firing. Under the special reminder of the logistics staff, he held it with both hands and stood five meters away and aimed at a piece of granite about 40*35*30cm long, wide and thick. With just one shot, the granite was nearly shattered into pieces.
Meng Qingxiao checked specifically and found that in the part where the shell hit, the stones were basically turned into powder. This range was about 10 centimeters.
Beyond 10 centimeters, a distance of about 6 centimeters was broken into small pebbles, and beyond that, there were larger pebbles.
In the end, the post-processing personnel gave professional test data: "Shooting a 50mm thick steel plate at a range of 10 meters can guarantee that the hole will be penetrated within 10 centimeters."
"If you attack the enemy, with the defense of most mutants, you can basically make a big hole 20cm thick."
Only then did Meng Qingxiao become convinced of this weapon. It was indeed a cannon, not a gun. Except for those guns that could cause explosions when fired, no matter how good a traditional gun was, it was impossible to make such a big hole.
This weapon has two shortcomings. In addition to the short range mentioned above, there is also the problem of slow firing frequency. It takes 10 seconds to compress the air each time, plus the manual time, which means that it can only fire at most in one minute. It can fire 5 shots. When faced with a siege by a large number of mutants, this weapon will seem quite useless.
There is also the problem of recoil, which was originally a shortcoming. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to use this weapon, but for the physically powerful evolutionaries, this is nothing. Meng Qingxiao tried firing several times , you can easily launch it with one hand.
In any case, this is an important means of saving life. Meng Qingxiao was quite satisfied with this weapon, so he immediately equipped all the team members with it and kindly gave them a whole night to practice. Because they were going to attack early the next morning.
As for sleeping, no one is stopping them from sleeping. They can go to sleep if they want to.
Sure enough, at dawn the next morning, the reveille bugle was blown, and the bugler turned out to be the captain himself.
When everyone had gathered, Meng Qingxiao put away the trumpet and said with a smile: "Haha, I just wanted to test whether this thing works, but I didn't expect it to be quite good. It sounds as soon as I blow it."
"Okay, now that everyone is here, please come out, team leaders." Meng Qingxiao waved to them, "Come to me, everyone else should disperse and go eat quickly."
Meng Qingxiao took out his mobile phone, opened the topographic map of Long live Mountain he had prepared in advance, pointed at the screen and asked Min Keyong: "You and your team will be responsible for this area, is that okay?"
Min Keyong nodded: "No problem."
"Well, go get the equipment and follow the drone later. It will provide you with the necessary protection."
Next, Meng Qingxiao asked groups two to seven in the same way and assigned them different areas, except for groups eight and nine.
"We have all nine groups, come over to me to get the equipment."
Distributed by two guards, eight people each received a large box containing a medium-sized drone. The drone carried an aviation machine gun, a 360-degree high-definition aerial photography camera and a high-power speaker.
"Let me tell you the mission of your group. Patrol back and forth along the established route. Protect all team members who appear on your patrol route. At the same time, play the recording content in a loop. If any mutant appears, shoot and kill them immediately. Do you understand? ?”
"clear."
"You are not allowed to shoot at any buildings, you understand? If any of you breaks a valuable antique, you will pay for it with your own life."
"Captain, isn't this a bit too cruel?"
"You think I'm joking, why don't you try it now?" Meng Qingxiao took out his air cannon and pointed the muzzle at the ninth group soldier.
"Ahem, no, no, no, I promise not to touch even a taller tree!"
Meng Qingxiao withdrew the air cannon and said to Wan Qiyan: "Yanzi, give him your equipment. You can follow me later." He pointed at one of the guards beside him.
After all the instructions were given, Meng Qingxiao pointed to the drone's remote control and confirmed again: "I'm asking you all again, do you know how to use this thing? If not, I can replace it immediately. It's still too late."
"It works." Eight people in the nine groups said in unison.
"That's good. If any of you screws up for me, I won't be able to forgive him."
Li Xiaoguo couldn't wait and asked proactively: "Captain, what about our eight groups?"
"You eight groups are responsible for protecting the safety of the ninth group." Meng Qingxiao said, "They are unprotected when they control the drone. If an enemy comes over, you must protect them to the death."
Li Xiaoguo responded loudly: "I promise to complete the mission!"
We spent half an hour eating, then gathered again after dinner, and then each took their own equipment and prepared to set off.
The loudspeakers were turned on one after another, and the shouts were so loud that everyone involuntarily covered their ears.
Meng Qingxiao had listened to the recording once beforehand, and now that he listens to it again, he still finds it funny:
Comrades, fellow villagers, fellow villagers, I am the messenger of peace from the Qianghan Kingdom, and I come with the call for peace. You were all good citizens of the Qianghan Kingdom. You have made great contributions to this land. Why now? Are you willing to let yourself down? Immediately lay down your weapons, give up resistance, raise your hands and surrender, and the government will definitely treat you leniently. The government assures you that it will not give up on anyone who is willing to reform.
That's what he shouted, but the order the drone received was to attack all mutants in the wild without distinction.
The so-called waiting signals for groups one and eight were waiting for the sound of the loudspeaker. They needed to quietly arrive at the designated location under the cover of the drone and try not to let the mutants know.
Wan Qiyan pointed to the loudspeaker that was fading away and asked: "Captain, is it really useful to shout like this?"
"What do you mean by useful?"
"Surrender, will they come out and surrender?"
"Haha, how is that possible? Apart from those leaders, it is doubtful whether the other mutants can understand human speech."
"Then why are you still shouting?"
"You're trying to scare the snake away. If you don't shout, how can you scare them away? If you don't scare them away, how can the brothers in Groups 2 and 8 act?"
"But just shouting won't necessarily scare them away."
"So we need to use machine guns. If they can't scare them away, use machine guns to drive them away. In short, we can't let them stay on the ground, otherwise it will affect our next actions."
"Xiao Xiao, it's your turn." Meng Qingxiao held a laptop in both hands and handed it to the second guard who had been following him. "Are you afraid of leaving you here alone?"
"Captain, what's there to be afraid of? I'm not a child."
"That's good. Xiao Xiao, you have the heaviest task. From now on until the end of this operation, you will be 00, and all dispatches will come from you. You must always keep an eye on the computer, and when necessary We are here to help everyone at all times, and we cannot put everyone in danger, do you understand?"
"Captain, I'm afraid my command isn't good, so why don't you do it?"
"Haha, haven't you always wanted to be a captain? Why are you so timid now? This is not your usual style."
"Captain, I'm actually just having fun and complaining randomly, please don't mind."
"I don't mind. What do I mind? It's a good thing to be ambitious. Only with ambition can you know how to work hard and make progress." Meng Qingxiao patted his shoulder, "Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you."
