Chapter 49
"How long do we have enough oxygen? Three hours, four hours?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should have been six hours. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info The equipment on Mars is better than what we use on the Moon. Looking at the blank red around him, Juniper responded to Wang Ping's question, "But it's far from being protective in terms of protection." Always on the alert, comrades. β
"I don't need you to say it. Ghosts want to die in this kind of hellish place. β¦β¦ MD, that's a big ...... for dust."
The structure of the four-wheeled high-mobility vehicle used on Mars is extremely simple, because the manufacturing itself is operated for people wearing astronautical exoskeletons, so this kind of vehicle is veritable and does not have any protection, it looks like a vehicle chassis with some steel frames on it, and then a board for arranging heavy fire weapons is arranged on the roof, and the overall shape design is very rough and windy. However, the car's agility makes it noticeably less simple to handle than it looks, and an unskilled driver, such as the No. 3 car of the Mizuki Ikhime Quad, is likely to have the vehicle in multiple rollover-like situations due to its overly powerful engine and overly nimble suspension. If necessary, the car can climb anywhere you want, which was the promise made by the developers at the time: but apparently they didn't add the latter half of the phrase "without overturning".
The trouble that this car caused to the Yuedu foursome was a rollover, and the trouble that brought to Juniper and them was undoubtedly nothing to cover the dust. The sand raised by the two Type 04-T armored vehicles in front of it hit the mask directly, although it will not feel pain, and the obstruction of the field of vision will not affect the enemy, but the sound of listening to the "pop" of the gravel is still quite unpleasant, and it is very annoying to cooperate with the electronic noise in this channel. At this time, Juniper believes that the soldiers of the third squad should have the same idea: the Russians should come over quickly, so that they may have a little "fun". Otherwise, it's too boring and tiresome.
Going on the road with the mentality of "the Russians will definitely come" is something that Ge Chengzhi told everyone before the convoy departed. In addition, he added another thing: keep an eye on the armored vehicles carefully, and do not hesitate when he gives orders. When he said these words, Ge Chengzhi's tone was mixed with a certain strange atmosphere, so that the soldiers of the third squad began to beat a small drum in their hearts, and they all wondered if there would be Russian spies among the VIPs of armored vehicles.
The Russian spy should be there, and it should be called with that...... The spaceship staff named Li Fengmei. As the personnel departed from the space station, Juniper saw the figure of the man who was supposed to stay on the spacecraft, accompanied by some cargo. Wang Yulin should not have been involved in her unauthorized operation, because this person had been trying to dodge the former all alongβand he was so skilled that it was almost like he had been professionally trained......
"Comrades, the space station reports that we seem to have found some anomalies around the valley. However, given the possible stealth equipment of the Russians and the strategy of drawing the defense focus of the base to this side, the probability of an attack once entering the valley is about half and half. Ge Chengzhi's voice came out of the earphones, "Always be ready for battle, tense your nerves." We'll soon be able to enter the safe interior of the base. And, don't forget what I have told you. β
Among the VIPs of the armored car was a Russian spy. What about Russian spies......
Juniper could feel it, and for some reason, Ouyang Pingshui's body beside him was very tight. They have fought a lot of battles on the moon, big and small, and this novice-like situation makes him a little worried about the psychological state of this partner: the 05 machine is a very important firepower output for this class, and no one wants the general-purpose machine gunner to fight nonsense because of the psychological state at a critical moment. At this moment, the speed of the convoy slowly slowed down, the armored vehicles and the vehicles of the machine gun group and the bazooka group stopped, and Ge Chengzhi issued a new instruction: "Two fire teams will go with me to explore the road, and the machine gun team and the rocket launcher group will be ready to carry out the task of fire suppression at any time." β
"Understood. β
"Understood. β
"Wait," a woman's voice suddenly appeared in the communication channel just as the mission order was given, "let's take the lead." You're so fragile that you can die with just one bullet. We're much stronger. β
"Please don't show strange self-esteem at such times, Miss Mizuki Ihime. In this hellish place, you're not much better than us. With a clear negative implication in his words, Ge Chengzhi replied, "You are risking your lives by using the means of attack, right? I don't want any of you to be injured again like Miss Dongfang Gu was on the moon." β
Ouyang Pingshui's body twitched. It seems that he is remembering his goddess's attempt to "commit suicide" on the moon again.
"But our defenses are much stronger than yours. β
"You are a VIP. is an important person. β
"Really? I don't think so. My sister will definitely not let my death worsen the relationship between Nakatsuki, and my death will not affect the normal completion of the review of Project 0001. We still demand to play as a striker. β
After a few seconds, Juniper heard Ge Chengzhi's soft sigh: "...... I understand. Group A followed by the Yuedu car, followed by Group B. Always be vigilant, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Understood. β
It is impossible to get too far away from the VIP convoy when it goes out to explore, otherwise the VIP vehicle is likely to be attacked by the enemy's concentrated forces. Within a few minutes, the rest received an order to "move on". So, the formation was changed to one with a heavy machine gun group in the front, a rocket launcher group in the back, and an armored car in the middle, and the convoy slowly hit the road again. The figures of the two firepower groups A and B, who slowed down, were quickly captured, and then, Group A and Yuedu led the convoy, and Group B merged from the end of the team on its own, forming a new formation again. The distance of this valley is not short, but it is only a blink of an eye to complete......
Just as Juniper was thinking this, a rocket flying from a distance slammed into the ground next to the first 04-T armored car, visibly damaging part of its locomotion. At the same time, there was also an explosion in the narrow area in front of the valley, and the car of Group A was lucky enough to escape by reversing quickly, and was not hit by the falling stones, but the road was obviously blocked. Without any orders, all the soldiers wearing the exoskeleton jumped out of their cars and prepared for battle, cleared roads, and repaired vehicles according to the plan they were supposed to be, and the valley was suddenly covered in a hail of bullets.
The Russians are ambushes. But their advantage is not obvious: the terrain of this part of the valley is relatively special, the sides are relatively gentle, the shooting blind spots at high places are also huge, and the only and biggest advantage is that the road ahead can be easily blocked by the sudden narrowing of the road ahead. If it really fights, the other side will obviously not take too much advantage......
"Attention units! We're going to ...... in an hour."
"Tank!" Before Ge Chengzhi's order was finished, the first situation that caught everyone off guard appeared, "The enemy has a tank! It's a T-720!"
β¦β¦ But when the plan was formulated, no one ever thought that the Russians would hide a heavy armored force like the T-720 in such a remote place!
"All the VIPs get out of the car and disperse! Bazooka, go to that high ground and knock out the T-720, Group B will accompany you, Group A and machine guns will provide supporting fire!"
βββββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββββββββββ
"Dragon King Dragon King, this is Ao Guang, we were ambushed by the enemy, and found a T-720 tank, ask for support!"
"Ao Guang Ao Guang, this is the Dragon King, we have also been attacked by the enemy, and we can't provide support in a short time!"
At this time, the base has become a complete mess. Although the attack of the Russians had been anticipated for a long time, the appearance of the main battle tanks made everyone's hearts tremble - and not one, but four. According to the message sent by the defense line of the No. 1 mine, three T-720s appeared among the Russian troops attacking the base head-on, and they are absolutely suppressing the defending forces in a posture of chopping melons and vegetables. Relying on fortifications alone is not an option at all, and the collapse of the defensive line is already expected.
"I swear, we didn't find any T-720s in the armament review of the Sino-Russian Mars base two months ago!, let alone four!" Standing in his office, the examiner who was suddenly called to the command room was sweating profusely and desperately explaining to the decision-making level, "There is absolutely no omission in the review!"
"Don't talk to me about this! The current situation is that the Russians are rushing over in main battle tanks, and the Russian space station has only docked with an old medium-sized cargo ship for two months, and that old thing can only supply the Russians, otherwise they should starve to death by now!" Slapping the table hard, the deputy chief of the security department who is currently in charge of military command has an angry expression on his face, "How did the T-720 come out? I'm telling you, if you don't tell me why, I'll kill you right now!"
As a temporary clerk, hearing this, Bai Shenying's hand suddenly froze: she felt that it was not appropriate to write this sentence into the meeting minutes. But at this time, the captain beside her handed over a look, signaling her to record it truthfully, and then glanced at the deputy director: "...... Deputy Director Gao, if I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to have the authority to shoot the censor, do you?"
According to normal procedures, the captain is only the head of the project and should not meddle in the affairs of the base, but it is clear that the Martian personnel structure established under the army's obedience system and the unscrupulous protection and promotion of the 0001 project by this general leader have finally made him the top of the power pyramid. Hearing his question, the deputy director quickly took a breath and apologized: "I...... I'm sorry, but I was angry in the heat of the moment. β
"And it's not out of the question that the Russians used that old medium-sized cargo ship to transport T-720 tanks. Before the deputy director could say the next sentence, the captain immediately waved his hand, "And in this way, the reason why they are in such a hurry to call can be explained, isn't it?"
β¦β¦ The Russians are running out of supplies and must come over to grab food and drink?
Under the guidance of the captain's thoughts, Bai Shenying quickly thought of this matter. But does that really exist? If they had chosen to send four T-720 main battle tanks to Mars two months ago, that is, ......
"The Russians decided two months ago that they wanted to start a war on Mars. Otherwise, the appearance of the T-720 could not be given a reasonable explanation. Moreover, the political mutual trust that China and Russia have maintained since the emergence of the Nazis, especially the military review of the Mars base between China and Russia, which is still being carried out in the face of war in the world, has paralyzed our nerves and given the other side an opportunity. "On the plus side, this means that we have exactly the evidence that the Russian government is maliciously waging war on Mars, and their claims about the 'Martian base mutiny' are self-defeating." But, on the bad side...... Well, I don't need to say it. β
As if laughing at himself, the captain smiled: "We may be finished soon...... Send the video of the T-720 over, and then pick up Vice Captain Li and ask him to contact the central government and send the video over......"
"Sorry...... That," replied a trembling voice after a few seconds of awkward silence, "Vice Captain Lee is on the surface of Mars right now, and there is no one on the space station who has the authority to do this. β
ββ¦β¦ What!?"
This was the first time since he came to the surface of Mars that Bai Shenying saw the captain's shocked expression. Normally, his performance is always calm and decisive, so his performance immediately caused a panicked expression. Taking a deep breath and with a trembling voice, the captain asked, "Who allowed him to come down?"
"Report, report, is the ...... of the review team"
ββ¦β¦ I said that there must be spies in this review team...... They came to loot the 0001 project...... "Unprecedented anger erupted, but not as intense as the previous senior deputy director. Sitting back in his seat, the captain clenched his fists, and the green tendons next to his temples jumped, "Moreover, what is the mess of the surname Li at such a critical moment?" MD...... He came with the censorship?"
"Yes. Now, Vice Captain Li is involved in the battle in the valley. β
ββ¦β¦ What about our air support? There's also the J-64 on duty, right?" After thinking for a moment, the captain closed his eyes, "Abandon the defensive position of Mine No. 1, shrink to the position of Mine No. 5, and let the J-64 deal with the T-720 in the valley, and at the same time order Vice Captain Li to return to the space station immediately after the battle, understand?"
"Our ground attack munitions can only meet the needs of one mission. At this time, Deputy Director Gao interjected again, "If it is used in the battle on the other side of the valley, it will be a loss to destroy only one ......."
"You can't stop saving them because you're losing, right? This side can take the initiative to shrink the defense line and still be deadlocked for a while, and if you don't help, you will really die. With an impatient snort, the captain asked the deputy chief to sit down, "...... Deputy Director Gao, you are staring here, and I will take care of other things. β
"Yes. β
Seeing the captain walk out of the command room, Bai Shenying immediately stood up, intending to follow, but was stopped by the former with a solemn expression: "Don't follow." Keep a good record of every discussion and every order issued in the command room. When I get back, I'm going to look at the records. β
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
After a moment of hesitation, Bai Shenying nodded and sat down in his seat again. Looking at the back of the captain leaving, she caught the man's self-talk: "...... I won't let you get it...... Even if it's ruined, it's definitely ......"
Looking at the panoramic view of the base and the battle situation displayed on the large holographic screen in front of him, Bai Shenying felt a deep worry in his heart. Clutching the necklace her boyfriend had given her around her neck, she desperately calmed down, praying that the battle would not end in the most tragic outcome, and hoping that Vice Captain Li would really return to the space station as the captain had ordered. In the current situation, the Martian base really can't be messed up anymore......
