Chapter 63 The Counterattack Starts Now
Although there were traces of friendly forces, the current battle situation was still very unfavorable for Amber.
With the equipment he was wearing now, it was difficult to cause damage to the HCP.
Moreover, after the Imperial forces took the lead, the entire team was dispersed.
This also caused the only three equipment in the team that could fight against the HCP - the ultra-short wave reconnaissance jammer, the "Breaker Type 2" exoskeleton, and the portable electromagnetic gun, to be unable to be found by Amber in a short time.
In the case of electronic attack, the entire data link was blocked. The friendly units whose positions could be known by just a glance at the tactical visor were now more difficult to find than the enemy.
In this case, Amber could not regroup the troops at all.
In the shadow of the woods, Amber kept adjusting his position to keep himself behind the "Fanatical".
Although the back of this HCP occupied a lot of space due to the plasma propulsion array, there were also many sensors arranged, so that the "back position" was not its perception blind spot.
But these sensors behind were more often used to warn of attacks launched in visual blind spots.
HCPs are all full-circle cockpits without exception. The pilots inside have a 360° omnidirectional vision, but the human field of view is only 120°, and what they can see at the same time is limited.
As the core head main monitor, although it integrates a large number of composite reconnaissance equipment, it is the most powerful reconnaissance unit on the entire HCP.
But the main monitor is bound to the pilot's head through the "follow-control operating system".
It will amplify the corresponding operation according to the pilot's head movement in the cockpit.
Generally speaking, if the direction of the body remains unchanged, the pilot only needs to turn the head 35°-40° to turn the main monitor 180°, so as to see the picture directly behind.
The premise is that the pilot must turn his head.
So as long as Amber can avoid the observation range of the head main monitor while ensuring that the attack warning of the sensor behind the "Fanatical" is not triggered, she can avoid being discovered by this HCP to a certain extent.
If it is a plain area without any cover, this is definitely impossible to do.
No matter how bad the HCP's back sensor is, it can still detect approaching human units and issue an early warning.
But with the help of optical stealth and the complex terrain of the mountains and forests, Amber is still confident that she can do this.
"Lilith, I have opened up the communication and data link module permissions for you."
"Received, the module has been connected!"
While Amber was walking in secret, he also began to try another way to find the ultra-short wave reconnaissance jammer.
The current communication channels and data links are blocked and disconnected by electronic attacks, but this does not mean that there are no signals being sent and received between units.
It can even be said that the communication modules of all units have triggered emergency mode under electronic attacks and are running at higher power than usual to try to restore contact and data transmission.
However, in a complex electromagnetic environment, facing the powerful HCP electronic warfare module, small devices are temporarily at a disadvantage.
For humans, it is impossible to find those communication modules that are overloaded in this situation.
But for AI that can directly read digital signals, it can be done.
If this scene is materialized.
That is, when Lilith accessed the data link and communication module, she seemed to have left Amber's body for a short time, and turned into a string of digital signals wandering in the surrounding space.
While avoiding the violent and messy electronic attack storm and virus data flow, she found the high-power communication equipment around.
In Lilith's "eyes", these radiation sources are as bright as a fire in the dark night.
"The signal source has been marked according to the radiation intensity!"
"The relative position of the signal source has been projected on the tactical mask, and the signal intensity is distinguished according to the color depth!"
Lilith is very efficient in serious mode, or for an artificial intelligence, this is her job, not to peek at Amber's learning materials.
"Well done, Lilith! Keep it up!"
"Hehe~"
Ignoring the silly smile of this artificial intelligence, Amber quickly scanned a lot of red marks on the tactical mask.
This is the communication module marked by Lilith. The darker the color, the higher the radiation intensity of the signal source.
Among them, most of the marks with shallow radiation intensity and similar working modes, Amber estimated that they should be the individual communication modules of the mobile infantry.
And they are also scattered all over the mountain forest as Amber judged before.
At the same time, Amber also saw the darkest signal source at a glance.
In the team, only the ultra-short wave reconnaissance jammer can achieve such signal radiation intensity.
Since the location of the target has been confirmed, Amber no longer hesitates and starts to move in this direction.
At the same time, this "Fanatical" also gave Amber a chance.
His pilot seemed to have developed some interest in the overwhelming battle.
This guy actually put the Gauss rifle on the weapon rack behind him during the battle and took off the gorgeously decorated physical heavy sword.
As the handle of the heavy sword was connected to the power supply interface on the mechanical arm, the edge of the heavy sword also lit up with the blue light of plasma.
Then, the ‘Fanatical’ rushed in a certain direction in the blue light that suddenly burst out from the propulsion array.
“Fuck! This pervert.”
Amber, who took advantage of this opportunity to pass quickly, couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
There was no target worth drawing the sword in his team.
At this time, switching the weapon to a physical heavy sword could only mean that the pilot was going to start slaughtering ‘soft targets’ such as mobile infantry.
Amber did not waste this opportunity that might have been exchanged for the lives of the mobile infantry, and quickly found the ultra-short wave reconnaissance jammer that was covered with camouflage nets and hiding behind a dense forest.
Amber, who suddenly appeared after removing the optical stealth, scared the three mobile infantry near the jammer, and a highly nervous recruit almost opened fire.
But Amber didn’t have time to talk to them at this time. After ordering them to continue to find a place to hide and be alert, he stepped into the jammer through the tailgate in two steps.
The three flustered electronic warfare technicians in the crew cabin seemed to have seen a savior and backbone after seeing Amber.
After losing contact with others, the jammer without a commander didn't know where to move for a while because the crew lacked subjective initiative.
If it weren't for the most experienced crew in the convoy, who risked his life to expose himself and attracted the firepower of the "fanatics", the jammer might have been discovered and blown up long ago.
"It's Old John and his son"
An electronic warfare technician said with a lonely look: "This is the first time I see Old John so brave."
Amber couldn't help but clench his fists, because he had an impression of this father and son.
The former was the first soldier who stood up to report to him when he rescued the attacked team.
But Amber didn't have time to mourn for the father and son at this time, because every extra second wasted might result in the death of one more soldier.
"Lilith, I'll give you the electronic warfare module of the ultra-short wave reconnaissance jammer now"
Amber pulled out a quick interface from the wrist of the combat uniform and connected it to the electronic warfare module of this jammer.
"Fight back, and then blacken it to death!"
"Understood!"
