Chapter 66: Defensive Operations

Murphy actually wanted to experiment with the performance of these weapons, although he got all the drawings, but before modifying them, he still wanted to see these weapons enter the actual combat, and there was no better experimental object than the Zerg. There are many armies under Thanos, similar to the Zerg, but which one is more powerful than the Zerg?

This is not a good comparison, after all, different universes, different creatures, although the combat mode is the same, but the combat effectiveness is really difficult to measure. And Murphy uses two versions of weapons, Earth and Moon, also to deal with the different armies under Thanos.

The moon is naturally facing the starfleet, and the earth is facing those monsters, Marshal Marceau is indeed constantly increasing his prestige, and at the same time he wants to see the effect of the mobile force after increasing the firepower, so he began to select troops.

Captain Reich was now promoted, and Marshal Marceau had a good impression of him, at least daring, and his mechanical prosthetics showed that he had fought in quite a few battles, so Reich's tough guy unit was given orders. On the basis of his troops, six self-propelled guns, two tanks, and four helicopter gunships were added as heavy fire equipment, as well as logistical personnel, and a combat platoon was added to form a company, numbering 120 men.

One of them was Johnny Rego, who was saved from a wound sustained in the last battle, and then arrived with two of his comrades in the Tough Guy unit. After about two weeks of training, especially for the defensive operations of the outpost, the reconstituted tough guy unit of one hundred and twenty men boarded a brand new battleship.

Of course, there are not only 120 combat troops on the battleship, and the heavy equipment is not only the ones they are equipped, but there are also many personnel and equipment waiting to be replenished, and their troops are just to determine how they should be deployed.

At the same time, the engineering troops began to prepare in the battleship, and they needed to set up an outpost as quickly as possible to give the experimental force a foothold, and this operation had already been reported, and Captain Reich was also a little stressed. After all, there is only a small force of more than 100 of them, and it is unknown how many bugs there are on the target planet, although there is a warship to support at any time, but he still has no bottom of his mind.

The battleship flew at the speed of light, and in just one day they came to the target planet, and the landing spacecraft was ready, and they all began to descend directly.

The location they chose was the center of a plain, which would be besieged on all sides, and it was the best place for fire experiments, and the engineering troops immediately went into action, and the engineering equipment directly assembled and connected the whole piece of steel plates, which were all armor steel plates. Directly besieged a 25 m x 25 m quadrangular outpost, and at this time, Captain Reich was directing the soldiers to arm, and there were Zerg around, they were not many in number, and they had no intention of approaching.

The live broadcast is ongoing, the entire range of federal control is watching, and this operation is of great significance and has a guiding role for future federal military operations. Marshal Marceau naturally did not miss the opportunity, she first gave a speech, "After more than a month of hit research and development, the research and development of equipment based on individual power mecha has been basically completed, and now this brave unit, they are established for the purpose of experimenting with weapon performance and new army formation." ”

"Here we will show the performance of the weapons, and at the same time analyze how the front-line mobile units should be deployed, and we will continue to adjust in the course of the battle, so as to achieve the most flexible and firepower first-line combat unit formation."

"Although it seems that they are very dangerous right now, we will provide support and evacuate them when necessary, after all, more than a hundred people cannot destroy the bugs of a planet."

This time the plan is supported by many marshals and generals of the Federation, they hope to fail, especially during the live broadcast, if the people are happy to see the soldiers slaughtered, so that Marceau can step down. Recently, Marceau has been in the limelight, which has made many people dissatisfied, especially the funds of the thirteen groups are controlled by her, if it is successful now, then she is still responsible for the next auction.

And the person who had a good relationship with Marceau persuaded her to give up, but she insisted on it, and everyone could only watch.

There was no need to build inside the outpost, after all, it was a temporary base, and six self-propelled guns were directly deployed in the center, while a metal ball with a diameter of one meter stretched out its wings, and then flew up to scan the surroundings. The surroundings were then divided into grids, and data was passed to the artillerymen and Captain Reich, which were the calibrated firing elements.

And the helicopter gunships were parked in the four corners, ready to take off for battle at any time, and the role of tanks was not great when defending, so this time there were only two, and the remaining infantry was scattered over the walls of the outposts. The outpost also has four machine gun towers at the four corners, each with two heavy machine guns on it, and the soldiers' individual power armor looks very heavy, and the movement is indeed very agile, and they can run and jump.

Marceau began to follow the lenses of reporters on the front line to introduce the equipment, and the engineering troops began to withdraw, and it took them only half an hour to complete the construction. Meanwhile, there were more and more heptipods in the distance outside, and Captain Ritchie began to observe the situation.

"Although this is an experimental operation, but we have to face a wave of insects, I want each of you to fight bravely, no step back without orders, logistics soldiers must ensure the supply of ammunition in every position, and the firepower must not be stopped." Captain Reich began the final deployment.

"Wow" The piercing insect chirp, like a signal, finally the six-legged insect began to attack the outpost, the live broadcast has been broadcast for so long, the people are watching as long as it is convenient, and no one wants to miss a shot. And in the barracks everywhere, the soldiers paid more attention, and all training was stopped.

Captain Ritch looked around and found that all of them were hexapods, and the observation ball in the air showed that the bugs had entered the range of the shelling, "The artillery team is ready, the target XX.XX fires, five rapid fires!" ”

The six guns of the "Tom Tom" opened fire at the same time, and then automatically loaded the shells, and the 150mm caliber high-explosive shells fell in the swarm, instantly emptying an area, and the hexapods suffered heavy casualties. After a series of shelling, the swarm in one direction lagged behind the speed in the others.

Then Captain Reich kept letting the artillery team fire, creating blank spaces in front and behind the wave-like swarm, and Captain Reich hoped that the swarm attack would not be too continuous. The shells equipped by the artillery team were empty, and the logistics soldiers directly replenished a base number of ammunition again, and then cleaned up the shell shells around them, and at this time the swarm approached the outpost.
