From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 64 It's Over! I'm Surrounded by the Imperial Army!

(I counted, today's update is 5000~ Don't say I'm short!)

To put it bluntly, electronic confrontation on the battlefield is a competition of the power of the equipment of both sides.

On top of that, constantly look for the opponent's weaknesses and attack them.

With the continuous advancement of technology and the addition of more and more electronic attack methods, the intensity of electronic confrontation is no longer the same, and the complexity has become much higher than before.

Usually, the specific method of electronic attack is to interfere with the enemy's tactical communication network, detection radar, and precision-guided weapons or implant viruses to attack.

The frequency covers ultra-short waves, short waves, microwaves, millimeter waves, as well as infrared and lasers.

So at present, it is impossible to perfectly carry out electronic attacks and electronic defenses by manpower alone.

This also leads to the current battlefield. Whether it is vehicle-mounted, airborne or ship-mounted electronic warfare modules, they all adopt the "adaptive attack/defense" system.

The so-called "adaptive" is actually to add a small AI to the system to allow them to assist electronic warfare technicians in electronic confrontation in a complex electromagnetic environment.

HCPs, including the ‘Fanatical’, are equipped with high-performance combat assistance AI, and are slightly better than jammers in terms of strategy in the electronic confrontation link.

In addition, it was a sudden attack just now, so it was natural that this ultra-short wave reconnaissance jammer was caught off guard.

Although the three electronic warfare technicians on the car were also professional, they lacked practical experience and panicked under the sudden attack.

From the beginning of the electronic attack to the time when Amber found them, they didn’t even make a basic counterattack plan.

But Amber didn’t have time to educate them at this time.

Because after Lilith took over the electronic warfare module of the jammer, she finally showed the strength that a strong artificial intelligence should have.

In the process of escaping just now, she had already finished studying a large number of books and textbooks on electronic confrontation that Amber gave her.

It turned out that Lilith, who had been in the institute for a long time and was not very familiar with contemporary electronic warfare, became an electronic warfare expert in a blink of an eye.

Under her control, all the attack methods of the vehicle-mounted electronic warfare module were connected in series, like a table of delicious dishes.

Multi-band, multi-mode electronic attacks completed the electronic countermeasures against the "Fanatics" in a very short time.

When the "Fanatics" were suppressed, the previously interfered communication channels and data links were finally restored.

Amber asked Lilith to temporarily write an attack script and leave it in the electronic warfare module of the jammer.

After asking the three technical soldiers to continue to suppress the HCP in the form of "assisting scripts", and conduct tactical reconnaissance of the entire battlefield to find other imperial units.

Amber unplugged the quick connection line from the electronic warfare module, picked up the weapon and left the jammer.

At the same time, everyone in the team finally heard the familiar and calm voice of the man in the communication channel.

"Attention everyone, the tactical communication network and data link have been restored, and electronic attack countermeasures have begun."

"The enemy HCP has been marked as a purple high-threat unit."

"Except for the communication vehicle and the jammer, all personnel evacuate the vehicle and hide in the woods."

"All mobile infantry who can still move, spread out and try to avoid the front of the enemy HCP. The only part you can attack is the plasma propulsion array on the back of the HCP, so don't fire rashly if you are not sure."

"Group A of the indirect firepower temporarily abandons the mortar and switches to infantry combat. Group B will operate the portable electromagnetic gun and find a better position to set it up."

"Friendly forces are on the way, hold on, we can win."

In the cockpit of the 'Fanatical', the pilot who was originally 'shooting people with a big sword' frowned slightly when he saw a long string of electronic attack warnings pop up on the multi-function display on the lower left.

After receiving the order from the 8th Expeditionary Strike Group Headquarters, Lieutenant Rudolph, who belonged to the Special Operations Group of the 8th Expeditionary Strike Group of the Imperial Marines, was airdropped to Robert IV with his teammates.

Originally, they should have jumped off the orbital attack ship to support the "Mongoose" special operations platoon, but they encountered the fusion reactors of several main battleships of the Federation exploding in the atmosphere.

When the airdrop window appeared again, the "Mongoose" on the ground had been completely destroyed.

When they received the task to airdrop to the ground again, the task content became to find a remnant of the Federation in the designated area.

And with the cooperation of the "Blood Dragon Group" orbital paratroopers, these remnants of the Federation were annihilated.

Rudolph knew that this remnant of the Federation was definitely not an ordinary team. They obviously had secrets, otherwise the General Staff Headquarters would not send their special operations team out.

And the cooperating troops were also the "Blood Dragon Group" with a special identity.

The five HCPs he airdropped in this batch were placed in the search area given by the General Staff Headquarters, and then each area was designated to perform armed reconnaissance missions.

When they found the remnants of the Federation and created chaos to delay the other side, the "Blood Dragon Group" wandering around the periphery would surround and clean up the mess.

However, Rudolph was not interested in the so-called secrets. He felt that these were the concerns of the "big guys above".

As an imperial soldier, all he had to do was obey orders and complete every mission.

On this basis, he could have fun while performing his mission.

For example, when facing enemy infantry units, do some tricks with the tip of the physical epee sword.

In the panoramic cockpit, on the right side of the 360° surround view, the HCP's robotic arm lifted the physical epee.

Rudolf looked at the tip of the heavy sword. A mobile infantryman was skewered on it.

In front of the plasma at the edge of the sword, all armor plates looked like paper.

Because of this, it has become a very challenging operation to "string" the fragile infantry units completely on it.

And Rudolf, on this project, can be said to be extremely skilled.

But now that these federal remnants have finally begun to fight back, he is ready to get serious.

Rudolf's right hand gently flicked to the side. Under the mapping of the onboard operating system, the 'Zealot''s right arm also held the heavy sword and threw away the infantry corpse on the tip of the sword.

He looked to his left, where the holographic device in the cockpit projected a small man less than 30 centimeters tall, who looked like a gladiator from ancient times.

This is the avatar of this ‘Zealot’’s built-in combat assistance AI.

"Spikulus, turn off the walking compensation of the control operating system, reduce the body posture compensation to 30%, allocate excess computing power to the electronic warfare module, and switch to interference countermeasure mode."

Rudolf glanced at the friendly troops still on the periphery on the tactical map and added:

"Inform those nobles and ask them to start closing the net."

"As you command, my lord."

A deep male voice sounded in the cockpit, which fit the avatar's shape very well.

With the walking compensation turned off and the body posture compensation reduced, under the feedback of the 'on-demand operating system', Rudolph suddenly felt the weight of his body.

It was as if he had truly become a giant.

For pilots who are accustomed to body attitude compensation, they do not like this feeling of weight.

But for Rudolph, this allows him to better immerse himself in the battle and feel the thrill of dancing on the line of fire.

The image of this 'Zealot' killing mobile infantrymen in the middle of the forest and randomly throwing away the bodies angered these initially panicked soldiers.

Although everyone is just a bunch of cannon fodder, they still have the most basic dignity as a soldier.

However, Amber was still in the communication channel, calming the mobile infantry and telling them not to act rashly.

He knew very well that the purpose of this imperial HCP driver's move was to anger these soldiers.

Then let the mobile infantry take the initiative to attack, so that he can catch them all.

"Sir! The signals of other enemy units have been found. The number is 142. The distance is decreasing rapidly!"

"Comparing the signal characteristics with the database, it is initially determined that there are 122 infantry units, 18 light multi-legged combat vehicle units, and 2 suspected HCP units!"

The slightly nervous voice of the electronic warfare technician sounded in Amber's earphones, and brought some not-so-good news.

"Got it, start suppressing it directly after entering the attack range. Don't worry about the effect, just suppress it first."

"Well, don't be nervous. Just do what you have to do."

Amber responded with a relatively calm voice. In this situation, as the commander of the team, he must not show negative emotions such as panic, nervousness, and confusion, otherwise the morale of the entire team will be affected.

But if you want to say that Amber isn't panicking, that's definitely a lie.

After discovering that he was surrounded by Imperial troops, he actually panicked.

But Amber knew that panic would not solve the problem, and the imperial troops did not have much time left for him.

This imperial 'zealot' obviously wanted to capture their remnant soldiers and wait for the large army to come and close the net.

In this current situation, since we can't get rid of this 'fanatic', we can only find a way to kill it.

For some reason, Amber always had a hunch that the empire's sudden siege might be aimed at her.

This may be exploited.

Thank you all for your support with rewards, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets~

I thought about it all night, and decided to continue writing according to my own habits. I really like to write some "trivial" details. If I change my writing style rashly, I think the story might collapse. So I won't change it!

Regarding the progress of the story, the battle on Robert No. 4 only accounts for about 5% of the outline. Once you leave this planet, the sea will be vast and the fish will jump, and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly~

In addition, the editor said that it will be available on the shelves next Tuesday. I am panicking now because I haven’t saved the manuscript and I can’t update you.

I originally thought about putting it on the shelf for a few days, but I haven't saved a chapter in the past few days. I feel that I may have thought too much.
