Chapter.46 Masquerade: I didn't know how to puzzle since I was a child
"If you are a soldier, you must be prepared. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 There will come a time when you don't have to worry about what to eat for dinner. - Epitaph of a non-commissioned officer of Russian nationality
Union of survivors Lenin
08th Squad of the Seventh Army of the SG United Front
Private "Mask"
"Command calls Team 08, hear it, please answer. ”
Reconnected.
"This is Team 08, what's going on with the communication interruption just now?"
"The United Nations is attacking our satellites and disrupting our communications networks. So you have to be prepared for a communication outage at all times, and I can't guarantee how long our friends will last. ”
By "we" McWeiss is referring to forces other than the Revolutionary Union.
"Understood. Sir, please give the order. ”
"The enemy attack came too suddenly, many soldiers were not ready, and we needed to reinvigorate. The Temporary Forward Command will be moved to Bechus, and with the fortified structures there, we may be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive. ”
"Do you mean we're going to Bechus right away?"
"No, you have more important tasks. After the capture of Lenin, part of the building was not rebuilt, but was rebuilt. Research Institute 221 was originally a large hospital in the east of the city, but there were not too many patients to treat after the war. Your mission is to get there and recover a valuable. ”
"Roger. 08-1, over. ”
It's finally time to go. It's still the same, with the mask in front and the back of the Haven Palace, and the team shuttles through the alleys, acting in a low-key manner.
"Uh...... Captain, this time the enemy is from the universe, right?" Harry asked suddenly.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"So they should have attacked our satellites directly from space, right?"
"Nonsense. ”
"So Chief McWeiss has friends in the universe, are they aliens?"
"Harry, haven't you heard of the Task Force Independent?"
"Nope. ”
"Hmph......" Shirley sighed, "This is a special squad of the Alliance, which always acts independently and has the power to fight independently, and does not need to obey any commands. In other words, they are experts in combat, and a squad of people can match an army. ”
"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"
"I also think the official words are exaggerated," Shirley shrugged, "but their strength is naturally not bad." ”
"In short, our boss knows this kind of person, which means that our backer is still very stable!"
"Let's be on our own," Shirley said, nodding at the masked face, who had just gestured for her to come forward, "There is a situation." ”
Team 08 has arrived at Research Institute 221, just across the street. However, the intelligence of the Revolutionary Alliance is also quite well-informed, and they have deployed a lot of troops in the research institute, with two humanoid mechs guarding the door, plus a few patrolling infantry. Those mechs that walk on two legs are several times more mobile than four-legged, and most importantly, they can fit into the atmospheric chamber. Looking through the holographic sight, the mask reveals that the mecha is designed to be streamlined, and the left and right sides can be equipped with heavy weapons. The two mechs guarding the gate of the research institute are equipped with heavy revoltainer machine guns and large-caliber cannons, and if they rush out, there is only a dead end.
"Oops, they got a head start. ”
"I'm more worried about those two mechs," Shirley said, "and with them here, we won't even want to go in." ”
"What, Captain, are you still thinking of going in? Aren't we supposed to meet Bechus?"
"The enemy hasn't withdrawn yet, which means that our stuff hasn't reached them yet. Shirley waved her hand, "Harry, Haven, you go upstairs and shoot at those two mechs to lure them away, and Kamen and I sneak in." ”
Harry's face was almost twisted into a ball, he was being dragged upstairs by Haven. Kamen also felt that this was too much, after all, he was gambling with his life, and if he was a little bit worse, Harry and Haven would be the first to finish.
Kamen and Shirley hide in the building next door, looking across the street through the window on the first floor. With a roar, Kamen hears the roar of a machine gun over his head and the crisp sound of a bullet hitting the metal. The mech adjusted its angle, and the machine gun wheel spun rapidly.
Shirley patted Kamen on the shoulder, and he immediately rushed out. The two mechs did not notice them at all, and the bullet casings still fell to the ground like a waterfall. He lowered his weight and ran to the opposite street, leaning his body against the base of the wall, his scalp tingling. He looked up and saw that the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at him.
The mask actually forgot that the enemy still has patrols.
The man collapsed before he could pull the trigger, and Shirley's M4Sopmod was smoking. They were exposed, and the mechs stopped firing and were turning around quickly.
"Go!" Shirley yelled, throwing a smoke grenade at the mech's feet. Without thinking, Kamen rushes into the smoke, only to find out what he can't do.
A delaying tactic. Smoke grenades can drag on for a while, and before the smoke clears, Kamen must figure out a way to win. He reached for his waist, looking for anything he could use. The only things he could find were two grenades and a flare.
I had to try. Kamen feels as if he's a gambler, betting everything on luck. He fumbled for a hard object in the smoke and looked up to see a mech with its back to him. Carefully dodging the mech's footsteps, Kamen cocks the rifle and fires flares into the sky.
Red light pierces the sky, coloring the mist. The mecha slowly turned, and the mask quickly retreated. The machine gun's wheel has already begun to turn, and this time it is really impossible to dodge.
"Boom!" fireballs rose from the mech's back, the machinegun's crosshair deflected, and bullets hit the wall. The mecha has been scrapped after withstanding this blow from its companions, and it is impossible for the people on it to live. Masquerade scolded the enemy for being stupid, so he ran to the scrapped mech and unloaded the cannon. Leaning behind the wreckage, Kamen hears gunfire outside the smoke, presumably his teammates and enemy infantry are exchanging fire, but he doesn't care so much.
The sound of the cannon being loaded, the mask is waiting for this. Once you've pinpointed the enemy's location, it's not too difficult to track, let alone a mech as big as a moving mech. Kamen mounts the cannon on the wreckage and moves with the sound of the mech walking. The smoke gradually dissipated, and the moment the target was clearly visible, the mask fired the artillery.
The blast wave of the explosion eventually dispersed the smoke and the gunfire gradually subsided. Team 08 cleared the door to the institute and assembled at the door to prepare to break in.
"The glass shattered to the ground...... There were shootouts here. ”
"Let's hope the guards here are still alive. ”
"Alas...... Lenin is like broken glass, which cannot be put back. ”
"Not only Lenin, but the whole world. ”
"When did you become so literary?"
Descending the stairs, Kamen knows that Shirley's hopes have been disappointed. There were corpses lying on the ground, enemies and allies, as well as researchers.
Kamen discovers a heavy iron door, and several layers of locks on the door have been smashed. He stepped in, and a hoplite lay at his feet. The whole room was charred and blackened, and there were debris everywhere.
"If you go this way, you'll find what we're looking for. ”
Before Shirley could take a step, Kamen grabbed her.
"What's wrong?"
He cocked up his index finger and approached his helmet. They heard a voice coming from the passage.
The mask walked over quietly. At the end of the passage, an enemy team is on the wall to secure bombs, and at their feet lies a man in a white lab coat in a pile of scrap. It immediately dawned on him that it was a dark wall, and that the researcher who had the key did not agree to open it, and was killed.
Harry whistled, and the two soldiers who were planting the bomb turned around, and when they reacted, they had been honeycombed by the machine guns. The enemy who came out of the bunker was shot through the skull by the mask and Shirley, who had already crouched, and lay motionless on the ground.
"Confirm that the area is safe. ”
"How are we going to get in, Captain?" Harry asked, looking at the researcher's corpse.
"Get out of the way, I'm going to detonate explosives. Instead of answering him directly, Shirley retrieved bricks from his enemies and collapsed, sending up a puff of smoke.
Kamen walks into the secret room with his gun in hand, and finds that there are sophisticated instruments, switches for mechanisms, and many metal accessories on both sides. It's clearly a small factory, and the things it makes are probably the valuables they want.
"Oh, my God......" Harry sighed as he looked at the mech standing in front of him.
The metallic fuselage, a four-legged self-propelled mech, and the inner side of the mechanical feet are equipped with tracks, which can be inferred to transform into land vehicles such as tanks. On both sides of the turret, large-caliber machine guns for vehicles and ground-to-ground combined rockets are placed, and the city-breaking cannon protruding from the turret is the biggest highlight of the whole mecha.
"So, this is what McWeiss said about valuables?"
"I think so," Shirley looked at the instructions on the electronic tablet, "Cyclops II, a product of our army's combat vehicle mass production program...... This is a finished product, and the tests were only completed last week. ”
"I ...... Can I go up, Captain?" Harry was excited like a child.
"We're all going to have to go up there, drive this guy back to Bechus, and blast all those bastards into the sky. ”
