Chapter 787 Fighting on the Coastline! (1/2)
"Roar--!!"
The loud roar penetrated the billowing smoke and shattered the fear entangled in the position.
The mutant, whose body was covered with shrapnel, struggled to get up from the crooked trench, picked up the machine gun that had been knocked off his feet by the shock wave, loaded it with a click, and placed it again on the edge of the crooked trench.
There are ten thousand mutants stationed on the beach.
However, these more than 10,000 mutants were not crowded together on the beach, but instead built a tiered defense line with a depth of 5 kilometers.
High-saline beaches and land are not conducive to the reproduction of Nagomycelium. Therefore, the Torch did not expand the "Kingdom of Heaven" area on the coast, but left it to the mutants for defense.
However, although the blue-skinned mutant and the green-skinned mutant are from the same origin, they obviously don't deal with each other.
"Stay behind the bunker!" A mutant centurion roared rudely, throwing a blue-skinned murloc out of the trench. "You, don't stay behind the bunker, go to the sea and hold them back!"
“Click??”
The sound of gunshots came from behind, and the bullets whizzed past the top of the head. The fishman rolled forward and ran forward, not forgetting to look back and glare fiercely.
However, the embarrassed appearance did not win the sympathy of the friendly troops.
The greenskins laughed and shot another round of bullets next to its feet covered with fish scales.
Although the naval bombardment was fierce, not many mutants were actually killed.
The vitality of these guys is extremely tenacious, especially the few "sangbai" that have been modified by biotechnology. Even if they lose their heads, they can regrow them.
not only that.
They are better equipped than their brothers who died on Shifeng Mountain.
From the homogeneous steel plates welded to their chests to the big guys spitting fire snakes in their hands, they are all masterpieces created by Beidao Heavy Industry during the Charas period.
It can be seen that Charas did not put his treasure on his own marines at all, or did not expect those picky fishermen to defeat the alliance soldiers on the battlefield.
He could see at a glance that the Navy was the Northern Federation's only source of support, and the only ones who could compete with the Alliance's warriors on land were the green-skinned "big guys."
Instead of using the few resources to strengthen the equipment of the Marine Corps, it is better to use steel and gunpowder to arm mutant cannon fodder.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this idea. It is one of the rules of society to let those who have strength contribute their strength and those who are not afraid of death to die.
Unfortunately, in addition to being strong and not afraid of death, the mutant also has a fatal flaw that hinders his plan.
These guys have no discipline at all, and it would be too costly to implant crystal elements into each mutant to directly control them.
Therefore, until the civil war in the southern seas ended, Charas failed to import this group of "enemies of mankind" to fill the trenches on the North Island. At most, they used it on the sandbank island. These green-skinned animals just stood on the coastline of the Death Coast, watching helplessly as he lost the civil war.
Perhaps compared to the Torch Church, the Federation is the survivor force that needs to be "saved" by Borneo Province more.
With the technical strength of the southern sea area and the huge manpower of Borneo Province, even the people of Wilante may have to tremble.
After all, clones do not have complete minds, and their upper limit is only cannon fodder, but the people there are all living people.
However, the reality is not that many ifs, Charas has lost the civil war.
Now it's the insect's turn!
The amphibious armored vehicle driving at the forefront drove onto the beach first, almost touching the edge of the artillery fire and arriving at the battlefield.
"The first battalion has landed on the beach!"
"Charge up! Crush!"
"Ouch!"
The communication channel resounded with high-pitched roars of fighting spirit, and at the same time, there was gunfire from the head of the "Alligator" amphibious armored vehicle.
The 37mm rapid-fire cannon banged and banged, and the shell casings were thrown from the side of the turret with a clanking clang, spitting out thick and long tracers towards the ditch of the beach position!
Facing the 37mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs, the flesh and blood bodies of the mutants were completely vulnerable. Even their armors were pierced, and every flash of artillery fire caused a bloody storm!
In just one moment of contact, dozens more mutants were pinned to death in the trench.
Suffering huge casualties, the mutants were aroused with ferocity. They roared and stretched their weapons out of the bunker to fight back at the players who landed on the beach.
The 20 mm caliber heavy machine gun sprayed flames, but hitting the front armor of the "Alligator" amphibious armored vehicle was like scraping, leaving only a scratch and a dent, but it was of no use at all.
Unfortunately, only one armored vehicle had its barrel damaged by strafing bullets, but this did not prevent it from continuing to advance towards the beach.
"use this!"
A mutant roared and moved a big machine out of the wooden box.
It was a large gun that was two meters long, and the caliber of the gun was equivalent to an adult's wrist.
It poked the muzzle out of the bunker, aimed at the nearest armored vehicle, and pulled the trigger hard.
"boom--!"
Flames spurted forward like an explosion, and the huge warhead instantly hit the front armor of the "Alligator". The hot metal jet poured in instantly, paralyzing the engine in front of the car body.
The armored vehicle lost power instantly, and black smoke came out of the cooling holes at the front of the car shell.
Seeing that the attack was effective, the mutant cheered excitedly, took out a black "small sweet potato" from the box, and prepared to fire again in the same way.
However, just as it lowered its head to look for it, several bangs and explosions passed over its head.
Before he could let out a muffled groan, the mutant fell straight to the ground.
Several high-explosive grenades poured into the trench following the fire, and the raging shrapnel instantly broke it into a sieve.
At the same time, the tires of the previously shot "Alligator" armored vehicle hit a rock and finally came to a complete stop. The gunner had no choice but to cease fire and fired smoke grenades forward.
The mutants on the beachhead obviously noticed this. The muzzles of their machine guns were aimed at them and they fired suddenly. Thick tracers made a clanging sound against the body of the armored vehicle.
There was a lot of noise in the communication channel.
"Grass!"
"Recoilless rifle!"
“Damn – has this thing been delivered?!”
"They probably did it themselves... A small number of experts from North Island were sent by Charas to the Torch's territory to assist in research."
"Where did they get the factory from?!"
"Engine disabled!"
"get off!"
"No family member fell!"
"Is it there or not?"
"It's because I don't have a family! I mean I don't have a family!"
"Damn it, what kind of ridiculous names do you guys have?"
" x-on:% # ! I was just knocked unconscious and haven't fallen down yet!"
A vehicle that loses power is a living target on the beach, and everyone knows that they cannot linger here.
The hatch at the rear of the vehicle quickly opened to both sides, and the player wearing the exoskeleton quickly evacuated from the vehicle with several vehicle crew members under the cover of an adjacent armored vehicle.
The bullets that pierced the smoke screen swept over everyone's heads and landed beside them from time to time.
However, no one was afraid. Instead, everyone had expressions of excitement on their faces.
This game is so damn realistic!
Only the team leader shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Quick! Don't fucking look for cover where you are! Rush to the trenches in front! Everyone, move!"
In fact, it is not easy for the mutants squatting in the trenches to hit players wearing exoskeletons with unskilled machine guns and rifles under the bombardment of giant artillery and the strafing of armored vehicles. .
Although they have extremely tenacious vitality and resilience, this does not mean that the shock wave of the shell explosion has no impact on them.
They will also be shocked to the point where their heads will buzz and their eyes will turn black. Even because their brains are not very developed, they will become even more confused and crazy after being shot.
Not only that, the armored vehicles landed ashore are not the only thing players rely on.
Most of the exoskeletons installed by the Burning Corps are pre-war "Type 5" police. The exoskeleton breastplate made of polymer materials can even block 2 to 3 heavy machine gun bullets.
And most of these players are Awakened. Unless they are hit in a vital point, even if they are unlucky enough to receive one or two shots, they will be just like no one else.
In just a few breaths, the player who was forced to get out of the car had caught up with the charging armored vehicle, used it as a bunker, and pushed forward closely behind.
The distance of 300 meters passed in an instant, and the Alligator armored vehicle quickly reached the edge of the trench and successfully captured the first line of defense of the mutant troops.
In addition to the players who were forced to get out of the car, other players from the First Battalion of the Burning Corps also jumped out of the armored vehicles, rushed into the crooked trench, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the mutants squatting inside.
"Roar!!!"
Standing tall and tall, a zombie mutant grabbed the large-caliber rifle in his hand and smashed it like a mallet at the murderous dagger that jumped down from the trench.
The latter ducked down to avoid the blow, pulled out the short ax hanging on his breastplate and slashed upwards, hitting the guy's neck without any bias, and completely chopped off the green head.
The mutant stood motionless, and suddenly his shoulders swayed, and flesh-red tentacles spread out from the broken neck, extending upward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, Murderous Dagger was shocked.
"Damn it! Can a lost head really grow back?!"
He thought it was the brothers on the northern line who were bragging. There was something about this thing!
"Sangbian", who was growing his brain, was not idle. He grabbed a rifle in one hand and a short knife in the other, and he was waving and slashing in the trench like crazy.
This guy has no eyes, and obviously no sense of hearing or smell. He fights purely by relying on his memory of the environment and intuition.
The murderous dagger hurriedly stepped back to avoid the two fatal moves, pulled out the white phosphorus bomb, bit open the tab, and threw it on the mutant's half-grown brain.
The dazzling white light shone for an instant, and the burning red flames drenched the mutant.
The sound of stabbing sounded, and the whole trench was filled with the smell of barbecue.
The mutant's body twitched and fell backwards, its twisted appearance seemed to be a silent cry of pain and wailing.
"Be a human being in the next life."
Murderous Dagger picked up the large-caliber rifle that the guy threw on the ground, and shot it twice in the chest and under the body.
"boom!!"
Large areas of flesh and blood were torn apart by shrapnel.
The shocking wounds everywhere finally exceeded the self-healing limit of "Sangbang", and the monster twisting its body in the flames finally stopped struggling and fell heavily to the ground.
After successfully dealing with a target, Murderous Dagger threw away the rifle he had picked up, picked up his own weapon, and continued to advance along the crooked trench.
The voice of teammates came from the communication channel.
Judging from the fact that they still have some free time to chat, things should be going well for these guys.
"Trench A-07 has been controlled and a recoilless rifle captured... It should be the experimental type we found in the Beidao Heavy Industries warehouse."
"They completed the final design...but the design seems not very smart. The muzzle flash and smoke when firing are a bit too big."
"Hehe... I discovered a long time ago that they don't have an army tradition at all, and they only have some level of electronic technology and shipbuilding technology."
"Are you sure you're just a little level?"
"Well, of course that's based on the situation in the wasteland. Games and reality are two different things after all."
"MMP! Can't these mutants even dig a trench?"
"Fuck, booby trap——"
There was a loud explosion, the trench was filled with fire, and a vague figure flew into the sky.
Murderous Dagger quickly raised his head and looked over there, just in time to see the bloody body falling to the ground.
The squad leader's roar came from the communication channel.
"No family member is down! One of ours is down!"
"I'm going to see if he needs any repairs." [Wasted Half Year Old] eagerly climbed out of the trench and moved toward the debris, his voice somewhat gloating.
"... Be very careful! Equipment is free of charge. Points will be deducted if it breaks!" Shadian, who had a black streak on his head, cursed, then switched the communication channel and reported the situation on the front line to the rear, "First Battalion The beach has been captured! Requesting further instructions!”
After a brief rustle of electricity, Lao Bai's voice came from the communication channel.
"Cooperate with the armored forces and their advance to initiate the second phase of the offensive!"
Murderous Dagger replied energetically.
"yes!"
The family members who were blown away by booby traps were just a minor episode. The battle for most players on the front line was relatively smooth.
The three mechanized infantry companies of the first battalion plus an amphibious armor company successfully opened a gap on the beach and annihilated nearly a thousand mutants.
Provisional statistics of battle losses totaled 20 deaths, including serious injuries that would not recover within three days.
A battalion defeated a regiment, which was considered a normal performance for the Alliance's "Quick Reaction Elite" Burning Corps.
After the first battalion made some repairs, it immediately started the second round of offensive, leaving the position to the subsequent landing teammates.
The fixed-wing drone hovering in the sky not only provided information guidance to the frontline troops, but also recorded the entire battle process. The footage was not only transmitted to the rear command post, but also to the bridge of the Harpoon cruiser.
Alliance officers have become accustomed to the combat prowess of the Burning Legion.
However, this was the first time Duke Nihak saw these guys on the battlefield.
Looking at the picture on the holographic screen, his face was pale, a large amount of sweat was dripping from his forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear and disbelief.
Is this an alliance?
Burning Legion...
It seems to be the same army that defeated him before!
The last time he lost so quickly, he was thrown into jail before he woke up, so much so that he once thought that these guys relied on sneak attacks to defeat the city defense army in Golden Gallen Port.
Now it seems that even if the city defense army and the Gray Wolf Army form a formation on the shore waiting for these guys to hit them, they may not be able to stop these guys.
He was not sure whether the force had used its full strength in that battle.
But at least now he finally understood why Alaya lost——
No!
It should be said that how to win against such an opponent? !
Nihak swallowed and his eyes unconsciously drifted out of the porthole, looking at the destroyers one after another.
obviously.
One battleship alone is obviously not enough...
The empire must build a fleet similar to that of the South China Sea Alliance! This fleet must have integrated combat capabilities from search to destruction. Only in this way can the alliance prevent the alliance from going ashore and fighting them on land!
No--
One fleet alone is not enough, he has to find a way to buy the shipyard in Beidao!
Li Minghui glanced at the "rich and mysterious" old friend next to him. Looking at his shocked expression, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth involuntarily.
Look at this ignorant look, even pretending to be an elephant with a green onion on its nose.
Not short of this little money?
It’s not bad. Why is it not bad?
It could be said that he was pretending to be cool, and Li Minghui felt comfortable for a while, but not long after the raised corners of his mouth had been raised, the corners of his mouth suddenly fell down again.
etc.
Wouldn't it scare the pig awake?
As soon as he thought this, Nanihak looked at him feverishly.
"Well...Mr. Li, I have a question that I don't know how to ask."
Li Minghui asked cautiously.
"what is the problem?"
"This North Island shipyard... I wonder if it's inconvenient for you to sell it?" Worried that Li Minghui would doubt his motives, Nihak coughed quickly and put on a kind smile, "Of course, we mainly do it for fishing. use……"
Li Minghui stared blankly at the duke who was trying to conceal himself, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Too sloppy.
It seems that worrying about pigs waking up is unnecessary...
…
As the second phase of the alliance's offensive began, the South China Sea Alliance fleet also raised its cannons and began to bombard the second line of defense of the Torch Church's mutant troops.
At the same time, the second wave of landing craft was lowered from the cabin of the large landing ship, pushing through heavy waves and rushing towards the coastline.
Also setting off together were twenty Yun Ting ornithopters.
These aircraft carrying rocket nests were like dragonflies splashing on the water, rushing towards the beach against the waves.
At this moment, the murloc troops lurking under the sea suddenly launched an attack. Harpoons rose from the turbulent waves and shot at the low-flying Yun Ting!
Those blue-skinned mutants thought that as long as they aimed at the wings of the "big dragonfly", they would be able to shoot the thing down and fall into the sea. However, they obviously underestimated the flexibility of the ornithopter.
I saw a set of flowing wings of Yun Ting, and they used incredible maneuvering trajectories to avoid the harpoon dragging the chain.
"Crack——!"
The blue-skinned mutants hiding among the waves screamed in annoyance. They looked at Yun Ting who had raised his height but had no choice. Some of them got back under the sea surface, and some of them chased the landing craft, trying to get rid of them. Shen.
However, what these fishmen didn't expect was that the players had already seen through their plans.
When the first wave of landing craft came ashore, these guys were not seen. Many players were still wondering where they had gone. After doing this for a long time, it turned out that they were waiting for the second wave!
Kill a blue-skinned mutant trying to climb onto the landing craft, and the player squatting on the landing craft yells into the intercom.
"Batalions and companies of the Jungle Corps, it's your turn."
A dull sound came from the communication channel, accompanied by the sound of bubbles.
"receive!"
At the same time as the words fell, a mechanical crab lurking on the bottom of the shallow water turned on its searchlight, revealing its ferocious armored shell.
The "murlocs" who were fighting with the landing craft in the area close to the water did not know that underwater rifles were already aimed at them.
When they finally discovered the light rising from the bottom of the sea, it was already too late.
Voldemort: "Fire!!"
Following that order, strings of dense bubbles pushed spindle-shaped bullets towards the fish-men active near the sea surface.
Without any precautions, the fish-man immersed in the water was instantly cut into a large area by the hail of bullets, and the dark red blood almost dyed the entire water red.
Upon discovering the attack from the bottom of the sea, the fishmen turned around in panic and rushed towards the bottom of the sea again.
At this moment, the second wave of attacks from the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the Jungle Corps had already hit their faces.
Hoarse screams came one after another, and in an instant there was another bloody storm!
At the same time that the fishmen troops of the Torch Church launched their attack, the mutants on the shore also launched the first round of counterattack.
Although their communications were paralyzed by EMP attacks, the landing battle lasted for so long, and the mutants on other lines of defense had obviously discovered the gap that the Alliance had opened in their own lines of defense.
The two thousand-man troops were divided into two waves. One part attacked the 1st Battalion of the Burning Corps that crossed the beach and penetrated into the hinterland. The other part attacked the 2nd and 3rd Battalions of the temporary port being established on the beach, as well as the engineering troops and individual players.
The flying tracers floated like catkins on the beach, and the players fighting on the periphery even saw the tank they had seen in the Beidao Heavy Industries warehouse before.
The Alligator amphibious armored vehicle is obviously no match for this thing.
However, the Alliance has more than just armored vehicles. There are "Thunders" and "Lightnings" flying at high altitudes, as well as twenty Yunflies flying at low altitudes... not to mention the naval guns floating on the sea, just waiting. These living targets appeared under the lens of the drone.
The four-meter-tall tank looks like a monster whether it is placed in the game or in reality. However, it is still as brittle as paper in front of the 150mm naval gun. It almost takes away one at a time.
Even if the shell did not hit directly, the shock wave of the explosion could shatter the patchwork car shell.
The two thousand-man teams that rushed up like a tidal wave were beaten to pieces in less than half an hour. They fled away leaving behind a pile of broken limbs and scraps of metal.
Standing on the beachhead, Lao Bai directed the operations of the frontline troops through his tactical helmet while pulling the trigger of the bolt gun to shoot down the mutants who were stubbornly resisting.
Seeing that the flame of resistance is getting weaker and weaker, the battle seems to be coming to an end.
At this moment, a report from the First Battalion came through his communication channel.
"...This is the first battalion. After we penetrated deep into the enemy's position, we discovered the ruins of a settlement. It is about 6 kilometers away from our landing point. It is hidden between two hills and is covered with dense woods."
"We found traces of mutant activity there, but our drones couldn't see the specifics inside... I want to separate a team to search there."
Lao Bai quickly glanced at the map and confirmed the location marked by the murderous dagger.
If you just look at the map, there may indeed be something hidden there.
It only took two seconds to make a judgment, and he immediately ordered.
"Approval of request."
A sonorous and powerful reply came from the other end of the communication channel.
"yes!"
