"According to relevant statistics, the drivers of the Union army like to listen to rock music when they go to battle, claiming that this increases the hit rate. Another incomplete statistic from Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info shows that the survival rate of sergeants who listen to rock music on the battlefield is three percentage points lower than that of those who do not listen to rock music. -- An excerpt from a college student's thesis

08th Squad of the Seventh Army of the SG United Front

Private "Mask"

The Cyclops II crashed into the iron gate of the garage, ran over the cars in the parking lot, and drove violently into the street.

"Pick up the enemy at nine o'clock, three airborne mechas!"

"Fire!"

The gun mount slowly turned to the left, and the masked took control of the machine guns, tearing them apart. He was in charge of the weapons, Haven was in charge of driving, Harry was in charge of finding the enemy, and Shirley was in command.

"Turn left and we'll take a straight look from the pedestrian street. ”

"Good. ”

"Masquerade, don't let the enemy's infantry come near us. ”

"RPG closer!"

Kamen reacted quickly and activated the Cyclops' anti-missile device, and the rocket was intercepted by the barrage halfway through the flight, causing the Cyclops to shake for a moment in the aftermath of the explosion. Seeing that the missile was stopped, the mask immediately manipulated the machine gun to slaughter the enemy infantry.

"Six o'clock!

The masquerade controls the gun mount to the rear, and the barrel sweeps down the guardrail on the stone pier in the middle of the road, and sees the mechs rushing out of the intersection, a total of five.

"Keep going!

The speed of the Cyclops tank form is not inferior to that of the enemy's airborne mechs, and the two have maintained a certain distance at all times. Kamen did his best to aim at his pursuers in a side-to-side swinging environment, and managed to take out two of them. The machine-gun bullets clanged against the cyclops' steel plates.

Haven made a sharp turn at an intersection, and the Cyclops turned from northwest to northeast. The pursuers were still increasing, and they were clinging closely.

"Artillery!" is waiting for us on the avenue at the exit of the pedestrian street!"

"Mask, kill those artillery with ground-to-surface missiles!"

Kamen, who was concentrating on shooting, almost didn't react, and scrambled to find the launcher of the combined missile. He locks onto enemy units in Harry's image, and the missiles rise into the sky one by one.

The cyclops burst out of the pedestrian street and jolted past the barricade at the exit. The missile landed at a distance of 400 meters to the left, destroying the enemy along with the weapons.

"We're almost there!"

"But the enemy has too many pursuers, and we will die if we stop!"

"Less nonsense! Mask, aim at the enemy! Haven, prepare to transform! Listen to me!"

Cannon shells hit buildings on both sides of the street, large chunks of cement fell, and the enemy's mobile units attacked fiercely, not giving squad 08 a respite at all. There are machine guns and artillery everywhere, and I don't know if the cyclops will hold out until the last moment.

"Six o'clock! 800 meters! 20 degrees of elevation! Ready!"

Kamen adjusts his crosshair according to Shirley's instructions.

"Ready...... Transfiguration!"

Kamen only felt the body bounce, and a loud noise came from under his feet. The Cyclops' limbs stomped into the road hard, stretched out, and stopped with a tremor. The machine gun was retracted, and the barrel protruded from the lower end of the Cyclops mount, which was fixed with a dull sound.

Kamen immediately switched to the system of the City Breaker, filled the shell into the barrel, and fine-tuned the trajectory of the projectile.

"Fire!"

With the loud sound of heavy metal clashing, the city cannon knocked out a cannonball, and the core of the bullet pierced through the enemy's mech, producing a violent explosion. In an instant, the entire street shook for tens of seconds, and none of the enemy troops who were targeted were spared.

"Safety!"

"Masquerade, aim the city breaker in the direction of nine o'clock," Shirley said, then connected to the command, "Sir, the valuables have been delivered. ”

"Well done, Team 08. Get down from there, the professionals are already on standby, and you go back to Bechus to catch your breath. ”

Team 08 entered the underground part of Bechus and found a random room to sit down and rest. Wounded and civilians are constantly being brought here, and what was previously converted into a workshop cell is now a ward. The whole building would shake from time to time, presumably due to the shelling from outside.

Kamen sat on the edge of the bed and counted the equipment on his body, and when a figure came to the door, Shirley immediately stood up and saluted. He looked up, and a man in an officer's uniform walked in with a serious face.

"No need to be inhibited, soldier. He held out his hand and motioned for Shirley to sit down. As the mask remembers it, he is Chief McWeiss.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with you?"

On the face that was beginning to show a ravine, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he quickly disappeared: "I have something to do all the time." Intelligence indicates that the second group of the enemy's airborne troops is coming, and our reinforcements are still almost an hour away. There are still a considerable number of civilians who have not been evacuated, and many troops are scattered in different strongholds......"

"They need rescue, right?"

"We can't protect ourselves, we can't take care of them. We must slow down the enemy and wait for Griffin's reinforcements to arrive before this battle can be fought. ”

"Yes, sir, we'll set up the defense. ”

"No," McWeiss shook his head slightly, "what you're going to do is attack. ”

Ten minutes later, Team 08 returned to the surface. The Kamen lies next to a gap in the crumbling exterior wall and fires at the enemies who try to rush up. Their offensive was noticeably weaker, and there were probably not many airborne troops left.

As he loaded a grenade and poked out of cover, he looked up to see a meteor shower falling. Each meteor dragged an orange-red tail and slammed into the ground like a fireball descending from the gates of hell.

"They're coming, we're leaving. ”

"This time Max Waies sent us to the guillotine. ”

The others didn't take Harry's words and quietly pushed forward, covering each other. Truth be told, they never thought they would survive, and that was the case with every action.

An atmospheric chamber smashed down the road, rubble and dust flew up, and the hot metal surface was still steaming. Kamen quickly drops a C4 at the chamber and moves away from it. The moment the hatch popped up, he detonated the bomb.

What he didn't expect was that after the bombing of this large cabin, a larger one was lowered immediately afterward, and the hatch quickly opened, and three mechs came out of it.

"Get out of the street, masked!" Shirley shouted.

Kamen immediately turned his head and ran to the side, dodging to the side of the street under the cover of Haven's machine gun, avoiding the mech's sight.

"Team 08 called, and Bechus South Gate Street requested artillery support. ”

"Titan 01 is on standby," replied from the noisy communicator, "we see the target, please back to a safe distance and launch in five seconds." ”

The mech no longer took care of Team 08 and began to accelerate towards the south gate of Bechus. And in front of the south gate, the fixed Cyclops II has been deployed and the battery is waiting there.

The feeling in the cab is really different from being outside. The cannonball struck the torso of a mech, spewing sparks, and then, as if triggering a chain reaction, detonating its companions as well.

"Thank you for your assistance, Titan 01. ”

"You deserve it, you're the one who drove this guy back. Good luck to you guys, SG7-08. ”

"Alright, let's move on. Shirley commanded, "Masquerade, you take the lead, Queen Harry." Let's go inside and don't confront the enemy mechs. ”

Kamen raised his gun and lowered his center of gravity slightly, and turned into the already incomplete building against the wall.

"How much of a move are we going to make?" Harry glanced at Haven, who had a circle of explosives strapped to him.

"It's big, big enough for them to think we're more than that. ”

"Or maybe there's a whole army lying in ambush here. ”

"Anyway, that's going to hold them down, right?"

"Nonsense. Shirley said, crouching on the upper floor of the building with a good view and looking out, "This is it, and the next step is physical work." ”

She turned on the tablet, released a small holographic projection, and gestured with her hand over it.

"We're going to plant bombs on these three lines to pin down the enemy, and then take advantage of the chaos to climb up to the building at point A and attack the enemy. We have a limited number of bombs, so you should use the combustibles around you as much as possible to increase your power. The enemy will arrive in about five minutes, do you understand?"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Grab the explosives and let's do it. ”
