Chapter 318 The flying knife that fell from the sky

  What's the best way to test a weapon's performance?

   Of course it is actual combat.

  Paper data and actual combat performance are completely two concepts. No matter how good the performance in the shooting range is, it is better to practice on the battlefield.

  The Burning Corps at the forefront quickly received the first large-scale combat mission after the launch of Operation Warriors...

  Late at night.

  Northern urban area of ​​Xizhou City.

  A group of looters carrying rifles were walking cautiously on the dark street, with flashlights in their hands cautiously cruising on both sides of the street.

   From time to time, I still take a picture of the top of my head.

  The consecutive days of attacks caused panic in the entire tribe.

  The guerrillas formed by the local survivors were enough to cause them headaches, but now a group of unexpected guests came to Xizhou City.

   These people not only have excellent weapons, powerful firepower, and well-trained training, but also have extraordinary physical fitness. Many of them even showed the characteristics of clearly awakened people.

  These paratroopers shuttled through the abandoned city, appearing like ghosts, looking for lone patrols to attack, or sneaking into fixed checkpoints, sentries, and gun towers.

   Not only that, the tactics of these paratroopers are also quite cunning. Once they get into a stalemate, they immediately retreat without giving them any chance to catch up.

   What is particularly troublesome for the looters is that the location of the attack has not yet occurred in the same urban area, and may even occur in two places in the south and north of the city at the same time.

   This is a headache for marauders who lack radio equipment.

  Because the communication equipment was not enough to distribute to the ten-man team, they could only report the approximate location of the attack through signal flares.

  And once multiple facilities are attacked at the same time, there will be signal flares all over the sky, and sirens will be heard everywhere.

   As for where there are many people, where there are few people, and what equipment the opponent has, I don't know these key information at all. The Centuries and even the Thousands in charge of the defense zone often fall into the dilemma of not knowing where to go for reinforcements.

   But this is not the most troublesome for the predators.

  The really terrible thing is that those elusive blue coats seem to be endless.

  Occasionally the Marauders can kill a Raider or two, but the number of Raiders has never been seen to decrease.

  How many paratroopers are there in those blue jackets? !

   Do they have that many aircraft to complete training?

   This series of questions has become a curse that weighs on the hearts of Jin Ya and other high-level members of the Ya clan.

   Even Uren, who boasted at Gold Tooth and vowed to bring out those gophers.

  In the past week, he took his subordinates and killed at least eleven paratroopers from the New Alliance, and once again even concentrated on killing a four-man team.

  However, the weird thing is...

  The person he killed three days ago, he saw again today.

   “…are they twins?”

  Moving the smoking muzzle away from the corpse, Uren frowned, staring at the face on the ground, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

   Is it a clone?

   It is not impossible.

   After all, human cloning is not uncommon these days.

  But it is not easy to train clones to be like normal people, let alone train them into well-trained soldiers.

  Ulen noticed the vital signs monitor on the man's arm, reached out and took it off, and at the same time tapped twice with his index finger on the right side of the exoskeleton helmet.

   "Hack into the VM system."

  A line of windows is projected on the helmet eyepiece.

【In progress…】

  The blue coats of the new alliance not only reset the system of the vital sign monitor, turning this thing into a wrist-mounted computer, but also reworked the system in their own language.

but.

  Hacking into a mere terminal is nothing more than his combat assistant AI with the "A-level hacking plug-in" installed.

   Handing over the hacking operation to the AI, Uren waited quietly for a few seconds.

  However, at this time, two lines of pop-up windows popped up on the VM screen and his helmet eyepiece at the same time.

  【Illegal access detected, DNA information verification failed. 】

  【The system has been deleted. 】

  Looking at the Chinese characters appearing on the VM screen, Wu Lun froze for a moment.

   "...what is this written?"

  …

  A residential building 500 meters away.

  Three little players were quietly lying on the edge of the roof, holding up binoculars to peek at the body of the sixth child in the corner, and the group of exoskeleton soldiers next to the body.

   Lost Mengxin exclaimed in a low voice: "Damn... the customs men's team!"

  The props teacher sipped his mouth: "Tsk tsk, I was KO as soon as I landed, the sixth child is too miserable..."

   Lost and Mengxin: "It's too bad +1, I was brushed by the boss team before even picking up the gun."

   "Confluence failed... The side mission is cancelled, let's go to the main quest." Bai Dao took a look at the disappearing icon on the VM, and quietly retreated from the edge of the building.

   Milu Mengxin touched the semi-automatic in his hand, and reluctantly looked at the group of "elite monsters" on the street in the distance.

   "Gan, I really want to sneak a shot."

  The prop belter nodded in agreement.

   "Their exoskeletons are very expensive at first glance, I am afraid they can sell a lot of silver coins!"

  Bai rolled his eyes at Dai Ni.

   "Stop dreaming, the task is important."

  There are only two tasks tonight, one sideline and one mainline.

  The branch line is to recover the teammate who parachuted and arrived on the battlefield, but he didn't expect that the sixth guy was so unlucky, he landed directly on the street, and even bumped into the patrolling boss team, and died suddenly without even touching the gun.

  As for the main task, it is to attack any looter outpost on the north side, causing chaos in the northern city.

  The main force of the Burning Corps will launch an attack on an ammunition depot in the south of Xizhou City in the early hours of the morning.

  And what they have to do is to create as much chaos as possible in the north before the main force starts to act, and contain the reinforcements of the predators.

  To sum up, one sentence is to do things!

  The bigger the noise, the better.

  Of course, try not to run into the team just now.

  With their equipment, it is still a little whimsical to want to head-to-head with those exoskeleton soldiers who are armed to the teeth.

   When a fight really broke out, they directly shot the chest and the head, without a full protective armor to block them, no matter how high the attributes were, they would die suddenly.

  The three quietly retreated from upstairs.

   Marched in the opposite direction to the group of exoskeleton soldiers for about 1 kilometer, and soon found a Ya clan outpost.

  In order to limit the area of ​​guerrilla activities, the Ya clan set up checkpoints at the entrances of all roads in Xizhou City.

  A marauder stands inside a sentry post with a homemade cigarette dangling from his mouth.

   There were two standing beside the barricade, one on the left and the other on the right, chatting chatteringly. The remaining one was sitting by the fire, holding an unknown meat skewer in his hand, interjecting from time to time.

   Seeing this, Bai Daodai immediately gestured for his teammates to stop, then without a word, he took off the RPG rocket launcher on his back, inserted a high-explosive grenade into the launch tube, aimed at the roadblock and pulled the trigger.

   Just heard a whoosh.

  A stream of white smoke rushed over, and an RPG blasted straight on the roadblock.

   "Boom—!"

   Before the two predators standing by the roadblock could react, they were blown away by the shock wave of the explosion on the spot.

  Whistling shrapnel flew wildly, scratching bullet marks on the concrete floor and concrete walls.

   "Bazooka!"

  The looter in the sentry, short to avoid the debris flying in from the window, screamed and hurriedly pulled out the signal gun, and fired a shot into the sky.

  The looters sitting by the fire ignored the blood on their faces, and ran into the ruins, sticking out their rifles and firing indiscriminately outside the bunker.

  The bullets whizzed and landed in the window that was tens of meters away from the players.

  Seeing the green flare rising, Bai gave the sniper a chuckle, stuffed the smoking tube back into his backpack, and loaded the rifle in his hand.

"mission completed!"

   "Brothers, fire freely!"

   "Just do it!"

  …

Da da da-!

  On the streets full of ruins and wreckage, gunshots rang out, completely breaking the tranquility of the city.

  The three people who lost an outpost did not stop, and continued to move towards the next target on the map before the reinforcements arrived.

   At the same time, a W-2 ground attack aircraft with a shark head painted on it had already quietly flew over Xizhou City.

   What hangs under the fuselage is not an aerial bomb, but a "switchblade" with the rotor folded inward.

   After reconfirming the course and distance through the VM, Mosquito, wearing a pilot hat and goggles, skillfully opened the safety of the bomb launcher, and shouted loudly.

   "Hey, hey, this is a mosquito, please answer!"

   There were noisy voices in the communication channel.

   "...The Burning Corps received it, this is Lao Bai... We have arrived at the target location and can start operations at any time."

   "Ocquer!"

   While answering, Mosquito pressed the button of the bomber and said with a smile, "...the drone is going online, and the control has been handed over. I wish you all a good time!"

  The "switchblade" hung on the bomber is separated from the fuselage, and glides unpowered towards the target airspace.

  At the same time, a dark alley in the southern part of Xizhou City.

  Guang Feng, who was sitting on the ground wearing earphones, raised his head and looked at Lao Bai who was standing at the entrance of the alley.

   "...connected."

  The camera of the drone has been synced to his VM.

  Old Bai nodded, made an OK gesture, and ended the communication with Mosquito.

   At this time, a fat mouse with a body length of one meter and a gray body, and a few younger brothers rushed out from the other side of the alley.

  Lao Bai squatted down.

  Braking his feet, he stood up straight, and in his unique sharp and hoarse voice, excitedly reported the situation he had sneaked into and investigated just now.

   "I went to check!"

   "The tank is still parked in the northeast corner of the underground garage, and its position has not changed! There are two modified anti-aircraft trucks next to it, which probably just drove in during the day!"

  Old Bai gave a thumbs up.

   "Thanks brother."

   It's hard to be strong, he smiled.

   "You're welcome! There are quite a lot of people inside, and there will be a good show in a while!"

  Standing up from the ground, Lao Bai loaded the rifle in his hand neatly, looked at Fang Chang and Gu Feng in the alley, and gestured.

   "Ready for action!"

"receive!"

   Replied succinctly, Kuangfeng reached out and tapped the headset twice, then slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness synchronized to the perspective of the drone that was gliding in the sky, and unfolded the folded six rotors.

  The control circuit of the switchblade drone is the same model as the Y-1 Firefly, and even the operating software is the same.

   It can be operated not only through the VM touch screen, but also through neural connection equipment, with the help of communication base stations for immersive connection.

   After confirming the information on the VM, Lao Bai turned off the screen and walked out of the alley first.

  【Mission 1: Destroy the ammunition depot in the "TV station" located in the south of the city】

  【Mission 2: Use the "Switch Knife" experimental self-destruct drone to destroy a Conqueror 10 tank and take pictures of the wreckage. 】

  The former site of the TV station in the south of Xizhou City has a total of three buildings and a double-storey underground garage. There are 200-300 looters and 20-40 artisans serving the Ya clan.

  This is the camp of the Ya Clan outside the Sixin District, led by a centurion named "Fenghou", and this is also his territory.

  According to the intelligence of the brothers who are in trouble, twelve o'clock in the morning is the most relaxed time of the day for this camp, especially the period from twelve o'clock to half past twelve.

  The sentinels who are about to change shifts, almost no one puts their minds on patrolling.

  The ammunition depot of this camp is located in the basement of the west building of the TV station, and the underground garage on the easternmost side happens to be parked with a Conqueror 10 under maintenance.

  The two tasks happened to be done together.

  The operation officially begins.

  Lao Bai led Fang Chang along the dark street, heading towards the TV station quickly.

Ye Shi, who was crawling on the top of the building, used the LD-47j semi-automatically equipped with a simple silencer to quickly shoot and kill the two sentries standing at the main entrance of the TV station and the wooden watchtower, covering Lao Bai and Fang Chang as they approached the wall of the TV station. .

   Over the wall.

   Avoiding the bonfire in the camp, the two moved quickly against the wall, but just as they were about to turn the corner, the sound of slow footsteps came from the front right.

  Old Bai quickly raised his hand to signal Fang Chang to stop, then gestured with **** and made a fist with his left hand.

   Fang Chang understood immediately, took out an arrow from the quiver and put it on the string, and quietly moved behind the wooden box on the left.

  Lao Bai let go of his rifle, drew out his dagger, pressed his feet and approached the corner wall, and gestured to Fang Chang behind the bunker.

  ‘OK? '

  ‘OK. '

  Fang Chang, who was hiding in the shadows, held his breath, and when he drew the bowstring, he began to count down the seconds in his heart.

   'Bullet Time—'

'open! '

  The moment the two predators appeared from the corner, Fang Chang let go of the bowstring in his hand, and Lao Bai, who was lurking under the wall, also moved at the same time.

  whoosh—

  The buzzing sound of piercing the air disappeared in a flash, and the looter walking on the left was pierced through the throat by an arrow, his eyes widened and he let out a creaking whimper, and he fell backwards with blood flowing endlessly.

  The person on the right didn't even have time to react. He only heard the humming of the bowstring, and then the big hand stretched out from the shadow covered his mouth and wiped his neck.

   Release the dagger with your right hand.

  Old Bai took advantage of the opportunity to drag the predator who had an arrow in the throat and fell backwards, and dragged the two corpses to the corner of the wall and put them down quietly.

  Givening an OK gesture to Fang Chang, Lao Bai held the rifle hanging on his body again, signaling to move on.

  Sneaked into the camp against the wall, the sentinel standing directly above the roof had been knocked down by Ye Shi from a distance, the camp was quiet as if haunted.

   Especially the vibe here.

   There was a **** smell in the entire camp. On the wooden poles and windows, there were hanged or nailed corpses everywhere.

  Some are even rotten and smelly.

   Most of these people are local survivors.

After these marauders executed the captured survivors, they would drain their blood and smear it on the wall to draw graffiti or strange symbols to curse and intimidate the survivors hiding underground and the guerrillas of the resistance organization. .

   However, it turns out that this method does not work.

  The **** suppression has aroused the determination of the local survivors to fight to the end. Even with black powder, bows and spears, they must fight to the death with those man-eating beasts.

  Under the cover of Ye Shi, the two cooperated tacitly, eliminated five patrolling sentries in a row, and quietly touched the west wing of the TV station.

  The ammunition depot is hidden on the basement floor of the west wing building, the iron door is tightly locked, and the only key is placed in a drawer in the guard room.

  It's a pity that the size of the strong man's difficult brother is still a little bigger, otherwise he could sneak into the guard's room directly and steal the key out while the guard is dozing off.

   Lowering his footsteps and leaning over, Lao Bai groped into the guard room, still skillfully walking quietly + backstabbing, wiped the sleeping predator's neck, and then walked away with the key in the drawer.

  Smoothly unlock and enter.

  The two of them looked around the ammunition depot with flashlights, and their eyes widened in unison.

   "Damn it..."

   "The life of these bandits is pretty good."

   Ripper rifles leaned against the wall like fire sticks, roughly thousands of them. Based on the retail price of 100 silver coins in an NPC store, these rifles alone are worth 100,000 silver.

   Not only that, many rooms are also full of boxes and bundles of ammunition, and a particle bullet emits orange and silvery white luster under the light of the flashlight.

  Among them are bought copper-cased bullets, self-made steel-cased bullets, and even reloaded bullets processed by slaves and artisans.

  From corridors to compartments, the total space of less than 500 square meters is almost filled with an assortment of ammunition!

  Lao Bai made a rough calculation, the weapons, ammunition and other military supplies here are worth at least a million!

   "...Mom, there are even 100mm shells here." Standing at the door of the room at the end of the corridor, Fang Chang looked at the orange shells on the ammunition rack, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

  This is too fat!

  Old Bai: "It's probably used by Conqueror 10, it's a little shorter than the one we seized in Qingshi County."

   Conqueror 10 has many types of turrets, and the corresponding barrel calibers are also different, but most of them are still based on 100mm caliber.

  Fang Chang had a regretful expression on his face.

   "It's a pity, it would be great if I could steal it!"

"Haha, don't think about it, you think this game still has storage space..." Lao Bai took out the packaged mixed explosives from his backpack, divided half of it into Fang Chang's hands, "Hurry up and work, quick battle!" quick decision."

  All the ammunition in the ammunition depot has been photographed and preserved. For the destruction of clear targets, the mission rewards obtained will be much higher than those of vague targets.

  Put the explosives under the ammunition box, Lao Bai and Fang Chang respectively set the delay fuzes, immediately withdrew from the ammunition depot, and evacuated the TV station along the same road before the predator patrol changed shift.

   After confirming that the teammates have left and the targets on the way to the garage have been cleared, the UAV controlled by the strong wind began to descend, roaring towards the entrance of the underground garage, and heading straight to the tank in the northeast corner along the pre-planned path.

  The buzzing of the six-rotor quickly attracted the attention of the predators, but when the drone had already rushed into the garage, it was impossible to intercept it.

  The drone flying close to the ground quickly got under the chassis of the tank, and the 15-kilogram warhead exploded instantly. The power of the mixed explosive mixed with magnesium-aluminum powder was comparable to two 155mm bombs!

  Especially in a closed environment like an underground garage.

The violent shock wave not only blew up the tens of tons of tanks to scrap on the spot, but also blasted the two anti-aircraft trucks parked nearby and the patrol team who came to reinforce them into pieces, and a quarter of the garage collapsed. After falling down, there was a big hole in the ground out of thin air.

  The looters in the entire camp were stunned. They got up from the bed in a hurry, and ran out of the barracks located in the main building before they had time to put on their clothes.

   A group of people rushed to the ammunition depot.

  However, before they could reach the guard room, a brilliant flame lit up in front of their eyes.

  The power of this wave of explosions was several times that of the previous wave, and the entire west wing seemed to be blown away.

  The explosive ammunition exploded like firecrackers, and was even thrown into the sky by the shock wave of the explosion. The crackling flames turned the night into day.

  The marauders in the camp were killed and injured in an instant, and there were wailings of pain and despair everywhere.

  The centurion standing in the ruins had despair written all over his face.

  Thinking of Lord Gold Tooth's cruel methods and those frightening punishments, he tremblingly drew out his pistol and stuffed the hole into his mouth.

  The bang of a gunshot seemed so insignificant in the seething night that no one even noticed it...

   "It's too powerful!" After recording the scene of the explosion, Ye Shi, who was lying on the edge of the roof, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

  The scorching air even reached him.

   There is still a burnt smell in it...

  Before watching people discuss the formula of mixed explosives on the forum, Ye Shi didn't have any intuitive feeling, but now I have a deep understanding of how tortured these people are.

   I hope these people spend their excess time and energy in the game, and don’t mess around in reality...

   After saving the video via VM, Ye Shi put away the semi-automatic rifle, left the building immediately, and rushed to the assembly point 800 meters away.

  Lao Bai and his party are already waiting for him here.

   "How about the photo confirming the destruction?" Suddenly thought of a key thing, Ye Shi asked Lao Bai.

  Fang Chang glanced at the green dot on the VM map.

   "...The strong man went to shoot because of difficulties, let's go back to the operation base and wait for his news."

  The entire camp is in a mess now, and no one should notice that a fat mouse got into the ruins of the explosion.

  Blade plague broke out in Xizhou City.

   It is very normal for the rats disturbed by the explosion to run around in the ruins. Even if someone noticed him at this juncture, most of them would ignore him.

   But this time they have stabbed the powder keg.

   The furious Gold Tooth dispatched a full five thousand troops, and issued a death order to the commander who was in charge of patrolling the southern city that night—

   If the paratroopers of the new alliance in Xizhou City cannot be cleared before the end of the month, he will be chopped into a stick and thrown into the lake to feed the crabs!

  The looters in the entire Xizhou City are crazy.

  The size of the patrol team has changed from the original ten-man team to a hundred-man team. The original patrol on the main road has also become a carpet search from building to building.

  But the players were not panicked at all, instead they were excited.

  What does this mean?

   It means they are in a hurry!

   Feedback is the motivation. Next time, we will increase our efforts to continue. This time we wiped out a battalion of the Bonechewer tribe, and next time we will strive to wipe out a division.

   But having said that, the base of operations that was originally located in the abandoned shopping mall is obviously no longer safe, and the radio station deployed on the roof of the apartment building has to be moved to the east.

After discussing with other team leaders in the group, Lao Bai immediately made a decision, ordering the team leaders to break up into pieces with their teammates, eight people in a team, four people in groups, and scattered into the ruins, alleys, and other places in the city. Underground transportation network.

   Just when the guerrilla warfare between the Burning Corps and the Bonechewers was heating up, Chu Guang received a battle report from the front line and immediately held a battle meeting.

   "Two good news!"

   "In the early morning of the day before yesterday, under the guidance of the ground troops, our switchblade successfully blew up the Conqueror 10 tank located in the abandoned basement in the south of Xizhou City."

   "From the photos of the wreckage of the explosion, the chassis of the tank was severely damaged, the structure was obviously deformed, and two pairs of road wheels fell off the car body."

   "Practice has proved that the damage effect of the 15kg warhead on the chassis of the Conqueror 10 tank is sufficient! The tactical idea of ​​the suicide drone is also feasible!"

   “Our intelligence officers recovered some of the drone debris from the blast site.”

  "Because the attack was very short, most of the direct witnesses were killed in the explosion. In addition, the explosion of the ammunition depot diverted the attention of the enemy. There is a high probability that our enemy still does not know what weapon his tank was destroyed by."

  Hearing this sentence, the faces of all the officers showed joyful expressions.

  The new equipment can restrain the enemy's tanks. This news is even more gratifying than the thousand-man team that captured Qingshi County and wiped out Lion's Tooth.

   This means they have one more card to play.

   And it's a trump card!

  Chu Guang was also very happy.

  However, unlike the officers present, he actually thought more about the future.

   Being able to destroy the Conqueror No. 10 tank not only means that the New Alliance has the initiative to start a decisive battle with the Bonechewer Horde, but also means that they have the strength to fight against the legion's armor torrent.

  Of course, Chu Guang also knew in his heart that if there was a direct conflict with the Legion someday in the future, the opponent would definitely send more than just tanks...

  Vanus looked at Chu Guang, and told him intuitively that the manager in front of him probably had something to say.

   "Are these two messages?"

   "Count one."

   After a pause, Chu Guang retracted his thoughts and continued.

   "Second news... I think good news."

"The Bonechewer tribe changed their deployment, sent more soldiers to the front line, and dug explosion-proof holes and vehicle shelters at the col five kilometers away from Songlinyu. Our plane found their trucks and anti-aircraft vehicles, but Didn't see the tank."

   "In addition, a large number of slaves were sent to the front line. From the aerial photos, they carried a small number of modified excavators, bulldozers and other construction equipment."

   "A conservative estimate, there are five thousand people there!"

  Five thousand people!

  Hearing this number, many officers at the scene had heavy expressions on their faces.

   Including Vanus.

  The total number of permanent residents registered in the new alliance is just over 5,000, and there are many elderly people, children, and women among them.

   The number on the opposite side is too much!

  Vanus frowned, but he was thinking about another matter.

   "It's very similar to the combat style of the 210,000th Squad... The commander is probably Dillon. Those artillery holes and the anti-aircraft guns deployed on the high ground are probably prepared for the tanks going to the front line."

  The captain of the 210,000th team!

   This guy is hard to deal with!

  Vanus could even guess what he was going to do.

   It is nothing more than using the terrain and bunker fortifications to preserve armored units, and then concentrate their strength and armored advantages to break through the new alliance's defense line under the cover of anti-aircraft vehicles.

   It is impossible for anti-aircraft vehicles to stop all aircraft, especially if they are not well prepared.

   It seems that the marauders are ready to sacrifice some of the tanks, and are even determined to storm the new alliance's positions at the cost of a lot of casualties.

   Obviously, the continuous casualties and losses have made them anxious.

"...Whether it's Dillon or Gold Tooth or whoever it is, my gut tells me that our time to face the barbarian is at hand. Our opponents are beginning to realize that this is a dead end if we keep dragging on...but they're only now discovering that , somewhat late."

   Putting his hands on the table, Chu Guanghuan glanced at the officers standing in the tent, and said in a clean tone.

   "We will stop the Ya clan's armored forces in Songlin Valley."

   "There is their grave!"
