Chapter 796: Alarm From Hei! (Two Chapters in One)
(two chapters in one)
"what's the situation?"
asked Major Jerome, commanding the fortifications.
"Reporting Major, the frequency of enemy attacks has indeed decreased, but according to previous observations, the fire support of the Imperial Army has not decreased."
A captain got up and replied.
"Pay attention to the artillery defense, increase the inspection power, three days is a cycle, the battery pack in the last two cycles is fully supplied with the exoskeleton armor, and the mecha is ready for pre-war inspection."
Feeling the shock of the shelling from all around, Major Jerome finally gave the recent defense order.
In any case, the situation in the Fire Hills area had stabilized, and until other orders were issued by the headquarters and divisions, their only task was to hold the position.
It was also on the fourth day after Mu Fan came to planet E75 that the army of the 33rd Theater of the Imperial Frontier Army suddenly began to attack the Fire Hills area fiercely.
Mu Fan's daily task was to patrol twice a day, but from the second day after he came here, the patrol task has not changed, but Mu Fan has an extra long-term task, which is to garrison the highland fortifications.
In the rustling gravel and quicksand, Mu Fan followed Bob and the bench to his new stronghold.
It is difficult to carry out concealed sneak attacks like nighttime battles during daytime engagements. It is basically a duel of firepower and firepower.
At this point, the 27th Infantry Company was at a disadvantage.
In the dilapidated fortifications full of smoke and dust, Mu Fan and the other eleven people stationed there.
This is one of the countless defensive strongholds in the Fire Hills area, and Mu Fan came here so inconspicuously.
But what made others laugh, and the bench was extremely embarrassed, was that the two military robots that had been the drivers of the supply truck came to this fortification together.
Fortunately, no one knew that the bench had been slumped in Hei's place.
Others welcome the arrival of these two robots, because with the help of the robots, their speed of rebuilding fortification defenses has increased considerably.
As the days passed, more and more information was obtained from routine investigations every day, and more and more information about the abnormality of the 33rd Theater of the Imperial Frontier Army also increased.
Because more and more traces of support troops were found, but the opponent did not show it in these days' attacks.
Among these people, Mu Fan's performance was unremarkable. He patrolled and ate with other people every day, and he didn't see anything special.
Instead, he took out some compressed biscuits from his backpack from time to time. This behavior of bringing his own food seemed out of place with other soldiers.
It wasn't until the ninth day after Mu Fan came to this planet that the attack belonging to the imperial army finally launched.
After a ground-penetrating missile accurately drilled into a fortification next to them, a huge explosion woke everyone up.
Heavy weapons!
The opponent finally used a heavy weapon that surpassed the howitzer.
Is this the rhythm of another full-scale war with the Federation?
And the attack just now seemed to be just the beginning, a sharp whistling sound came from the air, and then bursts of terrifying explosions rose from the fire hill area.
The imperial army actually used a wide range of missiles to cover and bombard.
In the absence of satellite assistance and high-altitude laser guidance, these primitive missiles that only rely on infrared guidance have achieved amazing results.
Some fortifications on ordinary hills were pulled out in an instant.
As for the place where Mu Fan and the others are located, it has to be said that they are lucky, the red rock flint interferes with the infrared imaging very well.
The nearby fortification just now was really bad luck.
Mu Fan shook his head, just now he even had tinnitus for a moment.
The feeling of a ground-penetrating missile exploding nearby is really not something very people can bear.
In his line of sight, nearly half of the people were holding their heads in pain.
Mu Fan was the first to wake up among them!
There was a panting of pain and repression all around him.
At this time, a hand suddenly grabbed his clothes, "Go!"
Looking back, it happened to be Corporal Bob who brought him back on a jet motorcycle earlier.
The dark-skinned soldier looked at him with red eyes. Obviously, he was in good shape and quickly recovered from his sobriety. He grabbed Mu Fan who was closest to him, "Evacuate from the fortifications, speed, speed! Turn to the secret passage to fight back."
He dragged Mu Fan violently behind him, and then jumped to the other side to try to wake up his comrades.
Mu Fan also finally saw the excellent military qualities of these frontier soldiers, and the first thing he did after waking up was not to moan meaninglessly or ask what was going on.
Instead, gather and listen to orders at the first time, and quickly transfer them!
"Transferred to under three rock formations."
A sergeant nicknamed Oil Tank shook his head and cursed, "Is this the fucking end of the world?"
Then, when he saw Mu Fan who was standing there motionless, he became impatient, "Recruit boy, shift the speed to the ground, didn't you understand what I said!"
Mu Fan recovered after hearing his name, glanced at the sergeant who was yelling at him, nodded, and then rushed towards the sergeant.
At the moment when the sergeant was in a daze, Mu Fan walked past him, grabbed the backpack on the ground, and kicked each of the two black robots next to him: "Let's go!"
The two robots and the marching backpack controlled by Hei were taken away by Mu Fan.
When escaping from the fortification, Mu Fan saw those comrades rolling down into the rock formation with their knees hugged, so he exerted force with his feet, his body was flattened instantly when he was in the air, and he dragged a robot with each hand and slid directly along the slope. Inside the split level.
During the sliding process, out of the corner of Mu Fan's eye, he saw a scene not far away where soldiers who escaped from other fortifications were directly shot in the head while running.
Under the gloomy sky, the exploding blood just added a bit of embellishment to the earth.
When the missile-based coverage strike ended, a small group of troops finally appeared on the defense line of the Imperial Frontier Army.
The opponent finally launched a real attack!
From this day on, Mu Fan's location changed from above ground to underground.
If it weren't for the special topographical structure of the Fire Hills area, the imperial army would have already driven straight in.
On the tenth day, Mu Fan's firepower team was downsized by three.
One was directly blown to pieces by a howitzer while performing reconnaissance missions on high ground, and the other two were directly killed by stray bullets while resisting the imperial army's mountain warfare.
Then came those mechanical spiders all over the sky...
On the thirteenth day, the Imperial Army seemed to be serious this time.
From the cracks in the rocks, Mu Fan and the remaining soldiers saw the imperial troops continuously entering the battlefield from afar, and the air was filled with oppression.
Their defensive line was pushed back by more than half a kilometer.
Now Mu Fan can no longer see the shadow of a recruit, his face is covered with black marks from smoke and fire, and his clothes have become tattered in the extreme scrambling and rolling.
Even a robot next to Mu Fan lost half of its face.
Now it is entirely possible to call Mr. Hei a "faceless" robot.
The team has been reduced from 12 people when carrying out the mission to 6 people...
"A message from Major Jerome to abandon the third line of defense and the surrounding hills."
This is a helpless move. It is a good way to force the opponent to give up the fire suppression of heavy howitzers and heavy tanks. From plain valleys to staggered hilly areas, those heavy machinery and equipment must be abandoned.
A total of five troops were stationed in the entire Fire Hills area, with a staff of more than a thousand.
The 27th Infantry Company is just one of them.
But in this attack, the 27th Infantry Company was the unit that suffered the most losses, because the Imperial Army placed the entry point in the area where they were stationed.
Therefore, when Mu Fan met Major Jerome again, the eyes of the supreme commander of the infantry company had turned red.
In ten days, the 27th Infantry Company lost more than 50% of its personnel, and now only forty-two soldiers survived.
Except for the 20 soldiers who were still on investigation missions, the remaining 22 people all gathered in an extremely hidden underground cave.
As a representative of the 149th Division's support force, Mu Fan is eligible to participate in the wartime meeting of the 27th Infantry Company.
Major Jerome glanced around silently, seeing that everyone's attention was on him, and then spoke slowly:
"Rescue has been sent to the friendly army three days ago. The 104th Division is under great pressure and the support may come later, but fortunately our friendly 149th Division has agreed to support, and it will arrive within two days at the latest! "
After saying this sentence, everyone felt lighter, and finally heard the news of the friendly rescue.
"But my ugly words are up front!"
Major Jerome didn't give everyone time to digest the news. Instead, his face turned grim and his voice was hoarse: "We only need to hold on for two days before we will welcome the arrival of friendly troops. Within these two days... whoever of you will do it?" Deserter, I will kill you first!"
"There are no cowards in our 104th division, only heroes who stand and die!"
"hero!"
"hero!"
The crowd suddenly responded.
For two days, defend the Fire Hills area with your life!
In the corner of the cave, Mu Fan was shocked by the unprecedented unity of will and belief around him.
These soldiers are using their lives to keep fulfilling the promises they once made under the banner of the army, defending the land under their feet with their blood.
Between human beings, when a war breaks out in order to compete for survival resources, it is no different from the tragedy when I first faced Zeger.
It's all about endless death, it's all about you dying and me dying.
Mu Fan's eyes reflected the reflections of these soldiers, but when he heard the news from Hei Er suddenly, Mu Fan's expression froze for a moment, and then gradually cooled down.
...
"Hahahaha, Major Gary, your analysis is really incisive. The 104th Division is really a bunch of stubborn people from top to bottom. They are still fighting to the death. Do you really think that I will fill them in with my own troops?"
Colonel Quinton poured himself a glass of red wine in a cheerful mood, and then poured a glass for his adjutant.
"Reporting to the Colonel, according to Major Jerome of the 27th Infantry Company, the number of remaining soldiers in his unit is now less than 50, and it is still rapidly decreasing. When he sent a request for help, the battle line has been compressed by half. All signs show that, The 27th Infantry Company is on the brink of collapse." Major Gary said with a smile.
"Then you stabilized with the news that you agreed to rescue, and at the same time came to ask me for instructions to refute the rumors that were previously spread? You, you, are really too insidious, like a fox." As he spoke, Quinton He laughed again, waved his hands casually with a smile and said, "You did this beautifully, everything is according to what you said."
"By the way, Colonel, what about the private sent by the higher-level military?" Major Gary asked suddenly at this moment.
"That private? What's his name? Forget it, I can't remember the name. Let him be a sacrifice. From now on, keep in touch with the 27th Infantry Company. On the day they collapse, we will officially enter the Fire Hills area."
In the swaying wine glass, the scarlet liquid reflected the greedy gaze in Colonel Quinton's eyes.
Hearing his own official's order, Major Gary immediately got up and stood at attention, and then prepared to give orders.
"Drink the wine I gave you before leaving."
Colonel Quinton said with a smile, pointing to the full glass of red wine.
Finally, Major Gary began to implement Colonel Quinton's request.
And he had prepared a speech to the military in his brain in advance, which was the news about private soldier Mu Fan who unfortunately fell into the war zone, but he didn't send it out.
So far things seem to be going well.
However, there are exceptions to everything!
The only and the biggest exception to this matter is the resident program created by the hacker, which exists in the entire internal network of the 149th Division in an almost weird God mode.
Since it is a passively triggered monitoring mode, the alarm of the 149th Division has never been triggered.
However, when the document recorded by Major Gary was stored in the optical brain, when the hacked split program routinely scanned it, it happened to touch the keyword about Mu Fan.
The Trojan horse program in the medium wave transmission channel of the division headquarter was immediately activated, and Master Hei's main body program, which was hundreds of kilometers away, completed the exchange of the main body and the split in an instant at an unimaginable speed.
Lock keywords...
Before and after variable analysis, communication analysis in the past two days.
In front of the all-pervasive Master Hei.
Everyone thought that the safe near-earth transmission network was turned upside down by hackers!
Hei with intelligent analysis ability is naturally not comparable to a rigid resident program, after the information summarized piece by piece is oriented and sorted.
Master Hei discovered the conspiracy designed by the 149th Division.
And then completely angry...
And when it passed everything on to Mu Fan, Mu Fan just finished listening to Major Jerome's mobilization work.
"Disband!"
Major Jerome raised his arms, and the soldiers dispersed.
But in the end, Jerome saw Mu Fan with a cold face in the corner.
"Recruit, what's the matter?"
Mu Fan stepped forward, looked at the major with stubborn eyes in front of him, and uttered a sentence: "Major, the support information is false..."
...
"I won't retreat. This is the place where the 27th company killed hundreds of people. Now you want me to give up!? You bastard."
Major Jerome roared angrily, the chicken nest head was shaking with the anger of its owner.
Mu Fan looked at the red-eyed major in front of him and shook his head.
"The 149th Division designed a scam from beginning to end."
"I wouldn't believe any talk of a retreat for two days."
Major Jerome sneered, ignored Mu Fan at all, and picked up the intercom.
"Go, Joe, you lead someone to prepare to activate the five mechas of the army."
The sixth-generation military standard mecha comes from Vipmolong Arms Company in the first sector. As one of the designated suppliers of the Federal Army, the quality of Vipmolong's products definitely deserves the praise of excellent quality.
What Mu Fan didn't expect was that the second-level sergeant major, Joe Pate, was actually a pilot.
Being able to withstand two days of attacks, these five mechas are his cards!
