Chapter 318 The flying knife that fell from the sky

   What is the best way to test the performance of a weapon?

   is of course actual combat.

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

   The Burning Corps at the forefront soon received its first large-scale combat mission after Operation Warriors...

   Late at night.

  The northern urban area of ​​Xizhou City.

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

   I even take a photo of my head from time to time.

The    attack for several days has caused the entire tribe to panic.

   The guerrillas formed by the local survivors were enough to give them a headache, and now there is a group of uninvited guests in Xizhou City.

   These people are not only well-armed, powerful, and well-trained, but also have extraordinary physical abilities. Many of them even show the characteristics of clearly awakened people.

  These paratroopers shuttled through the abandoned urban areas, appearing like ghosts, looking for lone patrols to attack, or sneak attacking fixed checkpoints, sentries, and artillery towers.

   Not only that, the tactics of these paratroopers are also quite cunning. Once they get into a stalemate, they immediately retreat, giving them no chance to catch up.

   What is especially troublesome for the looters is that the location of the attack is not 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 looters 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 flares.

   And once multiple facilities are attacked at the same time, the sky is full of signal flares, and the alarms of the gates are everywhere.

   As for where there are many people, where there are few people, and what equipment the other party has, I don't know any of these key information. The centenarians and even the thousand-man teams in charge of the defense area are often caught in the dilemma of not knowing where to send reinforcements.

   But that's not the biggest headache for looters.

  What really kills is that those blue coats that elude ghosts are like never ending.

   Occasionally, the raiders can kill an attacker or two, but the number of attackers has never been reduced.

   How many paratroopers are there in these blue coats? !

   Do they have so many planes to complete the training?

   These series of questions have become a curse on the hearts of Jinya and other high-ranking members of the Tooth clan.

   Even including Ulun, who boasted about the sea at Golden Teeth before and vowed to pull out those gophers.

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

   But the weird thing is...

   The man he killed three days ago, today he saw it again.

   "...are they twins?"

   removed the smoking gun from the corpse, Ulun frowned, staring at the face on the ground, the more he looked, the more familiar he became.

   Is it a clone?

   is not impossible.

   After all, human clones are not uncommon these days.

   But it's not easy to train clones as normal people, let alone train them into well-trained soldiers.

   Ulun noticed the vital signs monitor on the man's arm, reached out and took it off, while the index finger tapped twice on the right side of the exoskeleton helmet.

   "Hack into the VM system."

   A row of windows is projected on the helmet eyepiece.

【In progress……】

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

but.

   The hacking area is just a terminal, and it is nothing to his combat support AI with the "A-level hacking plug-in" installed.

   handed the hacking operation to the AI, and Ulun waited quietly for a few seconds.

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

  【Illegal access detected, DNA information verification failed. 】

  【The system has been deleted. 】

   Looking at the Chinese characters that appeared on the VM screen, Ulun was stunned for a moment.

   "...what does this say?"

  …

   Residential building 500 meters away.

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

   Lost Mengxin exclaimed in a low voice, "Rely on... Customs men's team!"

   The props teacher sighed: "Tsk tsk, I was KOed as soon as I landed, and the sixth is too miserable..."

   Lost Mengxin: "It's too miserable +1, the boss team brushed it without picking up the gun."

   "Failed to merge... The side quest has been cancelled, let's go to the main story." Bai Gaidai looked at the disappearing icon on the VM, and quietly retreated from the edge of the building.

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

   "Hey, I really want to shoot secretly."

   The prop guide nodded in agreement.

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

   Bai rolled his eyes for Taiji.

   "Stop dreaming, the task is important."

  There are two tasks tonight, one side line and one main line.

The    branch line is to recover teammates who arrived at the battlefield by parachuting, but I didn't expect Lao Liu to have such bad luck.

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

  The main force of the Burning Corps will attack an ammunition depot in the south of Xizhou City with a thousand-person ammunition 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 move, and to contain the reinforcements of the Marauders.

   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 this equipment on their body, it is still a little whimsical to want to confront those exoskeleton soldiers armed to the teeth.

   It was really a fight, people shot directly in the chest and the head, and there was no full protective armor to block, no matter how high the attribute was, they would be killed suddenly.

  The three quietly retreated from the upstairs.

   advanced for about 1 km in the opposite direction of the exoskeleton soldiers, and soon found an outpost of the Tooth Clan.

   In order to limit the area of ​​guerrilla activity, the Ya clan has set up checkpoints at the entrances of various highways in Xizhou City.

  A looter stood inside the post with a homemade cigarette in his mouth.

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

   Bai saw this and immediately gestured to his teammates to stop. Then, without a word, he took off the RPG bazooka on his back, inserted a high-explosive grenade into the launch tube, aimed at the barricade and pulled the trigger.

   only heard a swoosh.

  A white smoke rushed past, and an RPG slammed straight on the barricade.

   "Boom!"

   The two looters standing beside the barricade were blasted away by the shock wave of the explosion before they could react.

  The howling shrapnel flew wildly, leaving bullet marks on the concrete floor and concrete walls.

   "Bazooka!"

   The looters at the sentry post, with a short body to avoid the debris flying in from the window, screamed and hurriedly pulled out the signal gun and fired a shot at the sky.

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

The    bullets landed in the window more than ten meters away from the players.

   Seeing the green signal flare rising, Bai gave the spy a smirk, and while stuffing the smoking launch tube back into the backpack, loaded the rifle in his hand.

"mission completed!"

   "Brothers, free to fire!"

   "It's done!"

  …

Da da da--!

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

   The three people who dropped a post 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 has quietly flown over Xizhou City.

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

   Confirmed the heading and distance through the VM again. Mosquito, wearing a pilot hat and goggles, skillfully opened the safety of the bomber and shouted loudly.

   "Hey, hey, here are mosquitoes, please answer!"

  There is a loud noise in the communication channel.

   "...The Burning Corps received it, I'm Lao Bai... We have reached the target position and can start operations at any time."

   "Oak!"

At the same time as    answered, Mosquito pressed the button of the bomb launcher, hehe said with a smile, "...The drone is going online, 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 toward the target airspace without power.

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

   Gu Feng, who was sitting on the ground with headphones on, raised his head and looked at Old Bai who was standing at the entrance of the alley.

   "...connected."

   The drone's camera has been synced to his VM.

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

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

   Lao Bai squatted down.

   stopped his feet, and the strong man stood up straight. With his unique sharp and hoarse voice, he excitedly reported the situation he had just sneaked into to investigate.

   "I checked it out!"

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

   Lao Bai gave a thumbs up.

   "Thanks bro."

   It is difficult for a strong man to smile.

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

   stood up from the ground, Lao Bai neatly loaded the rifle in his hand, looked at Fang Chang and Gu Feng in the alley and made a gesture.

   "Ready for action!"

"receive!"

   replied succinctly, Gu Feng reached out and tapped on the earphone twice, then slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness synchronized to the perspective of the drone gliding in the sky, and unfolded the folded six rotors.

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

   It can be operated through the VM touch screen, or through the neural connection device, immersed in the connection with the assistance of the communication base station.

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

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

  【Mission 2: Use the "Switchblade" experimental self-destructing drone to destroy a Conqueror No. 10 tank and take pictures of the wreckage. 】

  The former TV station located in the south of Xizhou City has three buildings and a double-storey underground garage, where 200~300 looters and 20~40 craftsmen serving the Ya clan are stationed.

  This is the Ya Clan's camp outside the Sixin District, led by a centurion named "Wind Roar", and at the same time this is his territory.

  According to the information of the strongmen who are in trouble, twelve o'clock in the morning is the time when the camp's defenses are the most slack in the day, especially from twelve to twelve thirty.

  The sentinels who are about to change their shifts, almost no one is paying attention to patrolling.

   The ammunition depot of this camp is located in the basement of the west building of the TV station. The underground garage on the far east side happens to park a Conqueror 10 under maintenance.

   The two tasks happened to be done together.

The    operation officially started.

  Old Bai took the square and long, along the dark street, heading towards the TV station quickly.

Ye Shi, who was crawling on the roof, used an LD-47j semi-automatic equipped with a simple silencer to quickly kill the two sentries standing at the main entrance of the TV station and in the wooden watchtower, covering Lao Bai and Fang Chang to approach the wall of the TV station. .

   over the wall.

   Avoiding the campfire 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.

   Lao 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, put it on the string, and moved quietly behind the wooden box on the left.

   Lao Bai let go of his rifle, pulled out his dagger, pressed his footsteps close to the corner of the wall, and made a gesture to Fang Chang behind the cover.

  ‘OK? ’

  ‘OK. ’

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

  ‘Bullet time—’

'open! ’

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

  嗖——

   The humming sound of breaking through the air disappeared in a flash, and the predator walking on the left was shot through his throat with an arrow, his eyes widened and he whimpered, and he fell backwards incessantly with blood.

   The man on the right didn't even have time to react, only hearing the humming of the bowstring, he was covered by a large hand in the shadow and wiped his neck.

   Release the dagger with his right hand.

  Old Bai took advantage of the situation and dragged the looter who was shot in the throat and fell backwards, and dragged the two corpses together to the corner of the wall and put them down quietly.

   made an OK gesture towards Fang Chang, and Lao Bai held the rifle hanging on his body again and motioned to move on.

   sneaked into the camp against the wall, the sentry standing directly above the roof had been knocked out by Ye Shi from a distance, and the camp was quiet as if it was haunted.

   Especially the vibe here.

   The whole camp was filled with a **** smell. Hanged or nailed corpses could be seen everywhere on the wooden poles and windows.

  Some even rotten and stinks.

   Most of these people are local survivors.

These predators execute captured survivors, drain their blood, smear the walls, and draw graffiti or strange symbols to curse and intimidate the survivors hiding underground and the resistance guerrillas .

   But it turns out that this method does not work.

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

  Under the cover of Ye Shi, the two of them cooperated tacitly to deal with five patrolling sentries in a row, and silently touched the west wing of the TV station.

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

  Unfortunately, the size of the strongman is still a little bigger, otherwise he can sneak into the guard room and steal the key while the guard is dozing off.

   lowered his footsteps and leaned over, and Lao Bai touched the guard room, still using a skilled silent walk + backstab, wiped the sleeping predator's neck, and then took the key in the drawer.

   Unlock and enter smoothly.

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

   "Fuck..."

   "The days of these bandits were pretty good."

   A ripper rifle is leaning against the wall like a fire stick, and there are thousands of them. According to the retail price of 100 silver coins in the NPC shop, these rifles alone are worth 100,000 silver.

   Not only that, many rooms are also full of boxes and bundles of ammunition, and each particle bullet exudes an orange-yellow and silver-white luster under the light of the flashlight.

   These include purchased copper-cased bullets, homemade steel-cased bullets, and even reloaded bullets processed by slaves and craftsmen.

  From the corridor to the compartment, the space that adds up to less than 500 square meters is almost filled with a dazzling array of arms!

  Old Bai made a rough calculation. The weapons, ammunition and other military supplies here are worth a million at least!

   "...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 click his tongue.

   This is too fat!

  Old Bai: "It is estimated that it was used by the Conqueror No. 10. It is a little shorter than the one we seized in Qingshi County."

   There are many types of turrets on the Conqueror No. 10 tank, and the corresponding barrel calibers are also different, but most of them are mainly 100mm calibers.

   Fang Chang had a regretful expression on his face.

   "It's a pity, if only I could steal it out!"

"Haha, don't think about it, you still have storage space in this game..." Lao Bai took out the mixed explosives from his backpack, and threw half of them into Fang Chang's hands, "Hurry up and work, hurry up. Quick fight."

   All the ammunition in the ammunition depot has been photographed and saved. For the destruction of a clear target, the task reward obtained will be much higher than the destruction of a vague target.

   Put the explosives under the ammunition box, Lao Bai and Fang Chang set the time-delay fuzes respectively, and immediately withdrew from the ammunition depot. Before the Marauder Patrol changed their shifts, they evacuated the TV station along the same path.

   Confirmed that the teammates had left, and the target on the way to the garage had been cleared. The gale-controlled drone began to descend, roaring towards the entrance of the underground garage, and went straight to the tank in the northeast corner along the pre-planned path.

The humming of the    hexacopter 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 15kg warhead exploded instantly. The power of the mixed explosive mixed with magnesium and aluminum powder was comparable to two 155mm!

  Especially in a confined environment like an underground garage.

The violent shock wave not only blew up dozens of tons of tanks to be scrapped on the spot, but also blasted the two anti-aircraft trucks parked next to them and the patrol team that came to reinforce them into pieces, and a quarter of the garage collapsed. Going down, there is a big hole on the ground out of thin air.

   The looters in the entire camp were stunned by the bombing. They hurriedly got up from the bed and ran out of the barracks in the main building before they could put on their clothes.

   A group of people rushed to the ammunition depot.

   However, before they ran to the guard room, a splendid fire lighted 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 detonated ammunition exploded like firecrackers, and was even thrown into the sky by the shock wave of the explosion. The crackling fire turned the night into day.

  The looters in the camp were instantly killed and wounded, screaming in pain and despair all over the place.

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

  Thinking of Lord Goldtooth's cruel methods and those chilling punishments, he pulled out his pistol tremblingly and stuffed the hole in his mouth.

   That banging gunshot seemed so insignificant in this boiling night that no one even noticed...

   "This power is too fierce!" The shooting recorded the explosion, and Ye Shi, who was lying on the edge of the roof, couldn't help but sigh.

   The hot air even blew up to him.

   There is also a burnt smell inside...

   I watched people discuss the mixed explosive formula on the forum before, but 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 will spend their excess time and energy in the game and not mess around in reality...

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

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

   "Speaking of which, how to fix the photos that confirmed the destruction?" Suddenly thinking of a key thing, Ye Shi looked at Lao Bai and asked.

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

   "...It's hard for the strongman to shoot, let's go back to the base of operations and wait for his news."

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

   The plague broke out in Xizhou City.

  It was quite normal for a rat to be disturbed by the explosion to run around in the ruins. Even if someone noticed him at this juncture, he would probably not care about him.

   But this time they stabbed the powder keg.

  The furious Golden Teeth dispatched a full 5,000-strong team, and gave 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 eliminated before the end of the month, then cut him into a stick and throw it into the lake to feed the crabs!

   The looters in the entire Xizhou City are crazy.

The scale of the    patrol team has changed from the original ten-man team to a hundred-man team, and the original patrol of the main road has also become a carpet-like search on a building-by-building basis.

   However, the players were not panic at all, instead they were excited.

   What does this mean?

   means they are in a hurry!

   Only with feedback can we have motivation. Next time, we will increase our efforts and continue. This time we have destroyed a battalion of the Bone-biting Tribe, and next time we will strive to destroy a division.

   But having said that, the original operation base in the abandoned shopping mall was obviously no longer safe, and the radio station deployed on the top of the apartment building had to be moved to the east.

After discussing with other squad leaders in the group, Lao Bai immediately made a decision, ordering the squad leaders to bring their teammates into pieces, eight people in a team, and four people in groups to act in groups, scattered into the ruins, alleys, underground transportation network.

   Just as the guerrilla battle between the Burning Corps and the Bone-biting Tribe was heating up, Chu Guang received the battle report from the front line and immediately held a battle meeting.

   "Two good news!"

   "In the early hours of the day before yesterday, under the guidance of the ground troops, our switchblade successfully blew up the Conqueror No. 10 tank located in the abandoned basement in the south of Xizhou City."

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

   "Practice has proved that the damage effect of the 15kg warhead on the chassis of the Conqueror No. 10 tank is sufficient! The tactical idea of ​​​​suicide drones is also feasible!"

   "Our intelligence personnel recovered some of the drone wreckage 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 enemy's attention. It is highly probable that our enemy still does not know what weapon his tank was destroyed by."

   Hearing these words, the faces of the officers showed joy.

  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 the Lion's Fang.

   This means they have one more card to play.

   And it's an ace!

  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 Bone-biting tribe, but also means that they have the strength to fight against the legion’s armored torrent.

   Of course, Chu Guang is also clear in his heart that if there is a direct conflict with the legion one day in the future, the other party will definitely send more than tanks...

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

   "Are these two messages?"

   "Count one."

   After a pause, Chu Guang, who had withdrawn his thoughts, continued.

   "Second news...good news in my opinion."

"The Bone Chew Tribes changed their deployment, sent more soldiers to the front line, and dug blast holes and vehicle shelters in a mountain pass five kilometers away from Songlinyu. Our planes found their trucks and anti-aircraft vehicles, but No tanks were seen."

   "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."

   "Conservatively, there are 5,000 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 has just exceeded 5,000, including many elderly people, children and women.

   There are too many on the opposite side!

  Vanus frowned, but was thinking about something else.

   "It's very similar to the combat style of the 210,000th... The commander is 80% Dillon. Those anti-gun holes and anti-aircraft guns deployed on high ground are 80% prepared for tanks heading to the front."

   The captain of the 210,000th team!

   This guy is hard to deal with!

  Vanus could even guess what he was going to do.

   is nothing more than using terrain and bunker fortifications to preserve armored units, and then concentrating on the strengths of troops and armor to break through the defense lines of the new alliance 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 seemed that the Marauders were ready to sacrifice some of their tanks, and were even determined to storm the New Alliance's positions at any cost.

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

"…Whether it's Dillon or Goldtooth or whoever, my gut tells me that the time for our final battle with the Savages is just around the corner. Our opponents are beginning to realize that there is only a dead end to drag on... but they are now I just found out that it's a bit late."

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

   "We will stop the Fang Clan's armored troops in Songlin Valley."

   "There is their grave!"
