Chapter 551 Hammer Drop (IV)

Rune lights illuminate the Peregrine's cramped interior, which is only half the space of its prototype Seagull to save space for equipment.

The officer's voice was echoing in this small space. The soldiers performing the mission leaned against the bulkhead and held the Type 04 single-shot rifle in their hands. The Type 04 mark means that this weapon was just developed and put into production last year. arms.

The Type 04 rifle is still an older bolt-action single-shot model, while the new Type 05 rifle is a semi-automatic weapon. Standard mining is only allowed to possess the old 04 rifle.

"What is a live iron mesh?"

Jiang Lu listened to the officer's order and asked in a low voice to the veteran sitting next to him.

The veteran's eyes fell on his somewhat immature face, and then moved to Jiang Lu's reserve epaulettes, realizing that this was a recruit who had just been transferred here for training.

The military department occasionally hands some territorial recruits to the industrial command ships owned by Standard Mining for enhanced training in the form of actual combat assessments, allowing them to carry out low-risk assistance work on board the ships.

"Recruit? Temporarily assigned?" the veteran asked, then took out a paper-wrapped brown sugar from the inside of his clothes and threw it into his mouth.

"Yes! I belong to the 7th squadron of the 113th ship, and the squad leader asked me to come out and learn more!" Jiang Lu said.

"Then you really have a good time. At least you don't have to stay on the deck to help the artillerymen carry shells." The veteran chewed brown sugar: "Wait and follow me. If you let the gang on duty know that your little kid has been killed, Yes, ha..."

"Can't we suppress them with firepower?" Jiang Lu asked.

He was referring to the 20mm semi-automatic cannon turret at the bottom. The semi-automatic cannon is lighter, smaller and more suitable for installation on the belly of the Peregrine-class interceptor ship in the form of a turret. It does not need to occupy a large amount of space like the 75mm artillery. cabin space.

The semi-automatic turret installed on the bottom of the ship has higher flexibility and better firing range than the 75mm anti-ship artillery.

It's just that the space of the Peregrine Falcon is relatively narrow, and the Peregrine Falcon equipped with an acceleration device and external armor generally will not be equipped with anti-ship artillery and semi-automatic cannon at the same time.

Mounting two weapons at the same time means it will need to carry ammunition for both weapons and carry spare parts for both weapons.

It is just a thirty-meter 'small boat'.

"It's best not to take chances." The veteran said: "Our trained soldiers can move at a speed of 100 meters and ten seconds, and some elite troops in the files can even reach a movement speed of 100 meters and seven seconds. We cannot assume The elite soldiers of the Holy See do not have this assault capability, and the machine guns may not be able to keep up with their movement speed."

As far as the veterans know, Night Crow can very effectively avoid direct fire through maneuvers, and it is more effective to use range-killing weapons such as grenades when facing highly mobile units.

Once they are close to hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the Territory will not be able to get much benefit. The veterans think of the Territory's Type 05 automatic rifle and the pump-action shotgun that is being developed.

Maybe when new weapons come out, they can slightly regain their disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat.

"So we need to set up iron nets to intercept the charging troops?" Jiang Lu asked: "Ensure killing efficiency by delaying their footsteps... I learned this in the military academy. At the same time, minefields should be deployed to further reduce enemy infantry. movement speed, and use grenades and mortars to suppress the enemy behind the attacking bunker.”

"Correct." The veteran raised the rifle in his hand, unloaded the magazine and reloaded it: "But we only have the rifle, so check your weapon, so that the following steps can be eliminated."

Jiang Lu took a deep breath, straightened his back and leaned against the metal bulkhead: "What is that live iron mesh?"

"Recruit, have you seen barbed wire? Just replace the barbed wire with plants..." Another veteran couldn't stand his chatter: "It's a moving barbed wire. If you've seen us clearing monster nests, you should know , this thing can cover an area if you throw it away, and it will entangle those who get close like a snake."

Jiang Lu has seen barbed wire fences. In fact, what they train most in the military academy is how to cross barbed wire fences... Jiang Lu and the graduates of the same class think that they cannot use this skill, and even the instructor in charge of them thinks that they cannot use it. arrive.

But climbing barbed wire is still one of the main physical training items for soldiers in military academies.

"The things given to us by our tree man friends are usually stored in the body of the big tree that serves as the water purification device of the industrial command ship." The veteran smiled: "Don't look at that guy who usually only purifies water and provides some fresh fruits and vegetables to the canteen. , it contains a lot of deadly seeds in its body...it just has a little flaw..."

This was the first time Jiang Lu knew that the tree people accompanying the ship would carry plant seeds cultivated by the tree people.

"What?" Jiang Lu asked.

"This thing can't tell the difference between friend and foe. Last time I was almost dragged into the iron fence by it." Another veteran who spoke complained: "Maybe we should talk to Colonel Li Yan and let him adjust it."

"It's as if any of the plants under the tree man's hands can identify us and the enemy." The veteran shrugged: "When you usually lay mines..."

Jiang Lu listened to their jokes and suddenly felt that going to the battlefield for the first time was not so scary.

"Bring some blood." The veteran pulled out the bayonet from his waist and handed it to Jiang Lu: "I'm not asking you to stab yourself and feed it to the live iron net. The dormant live iron net needs a little stimulation to wake up."

The veteran twisted open the glass bottle containing the vine extract, mixed it with Jiang Lu's blood, and threw it into a box with a live iron mesh.

————

The Peregrine interceptor ship has dropped to visual height. Whether it is the priests, soldiers on the ground, or the paladin sitting in the banquet hall and commanding, they can all see the interceptor ship fleet with its engines shining purple light in the night sky.

"Damn it!" Iver took a deep breath: "Their target is my troops... No, there is also that giant beast. Their target is the corpse of that giant beast."

She did not have the energy to deal with the declining fleet. As a paladin, she had to maintain a protective shield here. Even if one of the shellings just penetrated the shield and fell into the crowd, the consequences would be disastrous.

In this case, she could only trust the abilities of her vanguard troops.

"Spread out the formation! Counter-spell discrete formation!"

The Crusader soldiers dispersed quickly under the command of the centurions. The centurions more or less guessed that the airship would use things to clear the area, and they quickly chose the most effective discrete formation to deal with fire bombing.

It is not only the artillery that will cause casualties on the battlefield, but also the high-level spells of the mages and priests. This high-range spell can deal with the array of soldiers and hit them accurately.

The soldiers of the Holy See were naturally trained in the array of anti-range spells, but the dense number of people in the square made them look a little confused.

The interceptor ship opened its belly compartment and dropped boxes of 'living iron nets' that were in a cryogenic state from mid-air.

The ghost vine extract mixed with human blood in the glass tube exploded and spread into the living iron mesh vines that were dormant at low temperatures.
