Chapter 331: Camp
At the wreckage of the bunker, Qi Lin killed one more "Ghost King" and three "Ronin", and then ran to the next sniper point with Karachev - Yamato Heavy Industries' artillery position was hidden in the crypt, so that although it was safe, their perspective was also greatly limited, and they had to rely on outside observers to record the coordinates, and then pass the coordinates to the gunner, who then adjusted the muzzle angle according to the coordinates before shooting.
The position of those observers was located on the commanding heights of the Gray Ridge Mountains, and the artillery positions in the hilly area were more than ten times the limit distance of short-range communication, and the battlefield was covered with a powerful radio jamming field, so it took five or six minutes for Qi Lin's coordinates to be transmitted to the gunner's side from being observed, and in these five or six minutes, it was enough for Qi Lin to kill several targets.
Due to Qi Lin and the K1A1 Gauss sniper rifle in his hand intervening on the battlefield, in just half an hour, Yamato Heavy Industries' sixteen Ghost King Mechas, which were completely invincible on the battlefield, were killed in half at once, while the "Ronin" lost more of them.
For Daiwa Heavy Industries, the Ghost King Mecha is also a very valuable asset - the cost of producing a Ghost King Mecha is enough to arm five hundred elite soldiers, and when converted into cheap mechanical soldiers, at least two thousand or more can be produced.
These sixteen ghost kings, for Yamato Heavy Industries, are almost one-third of their belongings - the entire Yamato Heavy Industries, those produced before the war plus the new ghost king mecha added after the war, there are only more than fifty units.
Yamato Heavy Industries began to retreat.
For them, the hilly area did not have much terrain advantage, but it was only the advantage of the mecha that the alliance was defeated one after another, and now in the face of the situation that the "ghost king" and "ronin" are constantly being sniped by the enemy, Yamato Heavy Industries will naturally not fight with the alliance in this area anymore.
Moreover, their goal of holding back the Coalition vanguard was basically achieved - after several hours of fierce fighting, the gap in the Gray Ridge Mountains in the rear that had been blasted by the Alliance with small tactical nuclear warheads was almost closed, and the Dongying people even built an extremely ugly but strong enough fortress out of large pieces of rubble.
Under the cover of artillery, the "ronin" quickly retreated and climbed onto the military trucks waiting for them at the rear of the battlefield, while the huge ghost king could only retreat slowly surrounded by infantry.
As for the mechanical soldiers all over the mountains, they were decisively abandoned by Yamato Heavy Industries to block the follow-up pursuit of the alliance.
In this tentative battle, although the alliance won in the end, it was definitely a disastrous victory, and the price paid far exceeded everyone's expectations - the first wave of troops put into the battlefield had a total of seven batches, with a total of more than 352 evolutionaries, 7,819 ordinary soldiers, 112 light power armor of various types, 25 tanks, 60 armored vehicles, and nearly 1,000 other off-road vehicles, trucks, and modified vehicles.
In these few hours, there were only single digits of tanks, armored vehicles, etc., and there were less than twenty power armors, about half of the ordinary soldiers were hung up, and two-thirds of the remaining people were also injured to varying degrees, and the casualties of the evolutionaries were relatively smaller, but they were also killed by the other side Nearly a hundred people.
On the other side, the battle damage of Yamato Heavy Industries was much slighter than that of the alliance after removing the eight ghost kings and more than a dozen ronins killed by Qi Lin, and most of the soldiers who were killed were cannon fodder-level mechanical soldiers, and the players who were actually killed were less than 2,000 people.
Yamato Heavy Industries' forces slowly retreated into the newly built makeshift fortress in the Greyridge Mountains, and the players of the Alliance, with no intention of pursuing, began to clean up a mess of the battlefield - without siege weapons or a second small tactical nuclear warhead, it would be foolish for these people to storm the fortress.
This battle was a test between the Alliance and Yamato Heavy Industries, but it also completely kicked off the whole battle, and in the following time, more troops and equipment will be put into the area until the three huge machine factories behind the Grayridge Mountains are conquered, or the Alliance can not bear the battle damage and withdraws its troops.
What made Qi Lin a little laughable was that from the outbreak of the battle to the end, let alone crossing the Gray Ridge Mountain Range, even a player from the alliance side failed to enter within a kilometer of the foot of the Gray Ridge Mountain Range, and those rich rewards were naturally not given out.
As night wore on, the remnants of the Alliance began to set up camp outside the range of Yamato Heavy Industries' artillery, and Qi Lin and Karachev returned to the camp temporarily set up by the advance force of the Cheng Consortium.
The makeshift camp consisted of dozens of tents and two houses made of plastic sheets, with several trucks and off-road vehicles surrounding the perimeter of the camp to form a defensive wall, and a bonfire was lit in the open space between the tents.
Even in summer, the temperature in the permafrost tundra drops to more than minus 10 degrees Celsius at night. The players of the advance force of the Cheng Consortium were all warming up around the bonfire, and the two cooks put a huge iron pot on top of the bonfire, removed a box of cans from the truck, pried them open one by one, and poured them all into the pot.
This kind of chowder stewed in a cauldron doesn't taste very good, but compared to many players in other camps who can only nibble on cold dry food on cold nights, it is enough to eat piping hot cooked food.
In addition to the cauldron of stew, the cooks of the Cheng consortium carried half a fan of double-headed beef with blood on it from the truck, passed it through a spear-like steel pipe, brushed it with various spices and grease, and set it on top of the bonfire.
The tip of the flame kept licking the beef, the spice crackling under the high temperature, and a large amount of fat began to bubble up on the surface of the beef.
Everyone around the campfire looked at the half of the roast cow with straight eyes, and at this time, it seemed that even the originally cold air began to become hot.
As the person with the highest achievements in the whole battle today, the best part of the meat on the roast beef was cut off, piled high in a large plate, and served in front of Qi Lin.
Although the saliva of the players present was about to drip out, no one raised any objections to this distribution plan - Qi Lin killed a total of eight ghost king mechas, and the combat exploits of this level were only given to them by one-tenth, which was enough for them to be promoted several levels in a row, not to mention that he had turned the entire battle tide with the strength of one person with just a Gauss sniper rifle, if it weren't for Qi Lin, it is estimated that the location where the alliance players are camped now will have to retreat another twenty or thirty kilometers to the south.
The eight ghost king mecha and more than a dozen ronins as trophies have been sent to the rear of the alliance overnight by Karachev, in addition to the rewards in the alliance's wartime regulations, Qi Lin can also get a huge amount of points - these eight ghost kings, Qi Lin only left one, planning to send it to the 404 base for Cooper to study in the future, and the other seven, all of which were sold to the Cheng consortium.
