Chapter 398: A Counterattack from the Ruins
As soon as the leaders of the three parties in Gan Province left, the people of the academy also left. They went around to the rear of the artillery positions in Lanshan.
Ligg was ready to make a big splash in this position, but she only hiccuped and broke the way.
Not to mention the disturbance of her sonic attacks by the rumbling cannons, her abilities had little effect on people in such a noisy environment. In fact, as soon as Ligege appeared, he was knocked out.
Out of enigmatic trust in the protection of the armor on his body, Ligoge appeared generously. She had just started the pastoral sonata when she was shot in the abdomen. The bullet was so powerful that the armor helped her block it, but it didn't block the aftermath of the concussive impact. Lige flew three meters upside down, hit the ground heavily, and fainted.
One of the guards hurriedly dragged her back, and the others came into contact with Lanshan's escort infantry.
There are 20 vehicle-mounted electromagnetic rocket launchers on this artillery position, and calibration, firing, and loading are all intelligently controlled. The convoy infantry numbered about a hundred people, close to the size of a company. There are not many of them, they are all wearing exoskeleton mechas, equipped with individual heavy weapons, and they are considered a strong army.
The models of these mecha are relatively old, not full-body armor, but only have supporting skeletons on their legs, lower back, and arms, and alloy bulletproof armor on their chest and abdomen. This mech has no head armor, no speed boost, and is designed to increase the weight of individual soldiers. Visually it is a product of the 21st century, and I don't know which corner it was dug out of by the "archaeological excavation team" of Lanshan.
Seeing that there were more escort infantry running towards this side, Hu Yongsheng decisively gave the order to stealth and retreat. His small team, after losing the combat power of Ligege, is only suitable for security when going out to negotiate, and is not suitable for frontal combat on the battlefield. The guards turned on their stealth gear and crawled into the distance.
Hu Yongsheng didn't leave, he hid in a dry ditch. He lifted the armor gloves of one hand, which transitioned from normal to blue, pale blue, azure blue, and finally navy blue. This is the limit of the color change when he is currently activating the poison skill. Since the rest of his body was invisible, only a blue and black hand could be seen on the ditch wall in this dry ditch, which was a bit frightening.
Five fingers tapped on the earthen wall, revealing the mood of its owner at the moment. Hu Yongsheng was a little excited, but more nervous. He was a civilian member of the academy and had only participated in the revenge operation against the Xiangxi base in Gongcheng. On that occasion he poisoned many people, but they were all half-dead people who were tossed by Ligg, and he did a job similar to mending the corpses. It was the first time he had faced a lively enemy on his own, and there were quite a few of them.
Fortunately, the other party's body has more exposed skin, and it should be able to make contributions, unless the other party has a strong ability to resist poison.
Probably seeing that there was a commotion here, there was no movement, and there were about thirty escort infantry who rushed over. The six fastest infantrymen were fifteen meters away from the dry ditch and fell without warning, convulsing all over. Five more infantrymen rushed up to the rescue, ready to help, and also fell. The remaining infantry immediately stopped.
An infantryman screamed, "They seem to have been poisoned." ”
The squad leader-like infantry shouted hoarsely: "Battle alert, Wang Peng, take the gas mask." ”
Amid the deafening sound of artillery, the infantry could only ensure that their teammates could hear themselves by shouting loudly.
One of the infantrymen answered, turned and ran away. The others looked for cover nearby, and the muzzles of their guns were pointed in three directions, the front, the left and right, and the military quality was quite good.
Hu Yongsheng did not leave, his poison can enter the body through the skin, and it is not something that a gas mask can stop.
The infantryman named Wang Peng quickly fetched five masks, which were all they had in stock. They are artillery battalion guards and do not need to enter long-term closed spaces, and such equipment is rarely prepared. There are quite a few soldiers waiting outside the settlement, but they are several kilometers away.
Five soldiers wore gas masks, guns in hand, and bowed cautiously. Walked up to eleven teammates, and they didn't fall. Toxins penetrate through the skin and into the body a few beats more slowly than through the respiratory system. Four of them were on alert, and the other turned their teammate's body over. The man's face was dark, his mouth was foaming at the mouth, and he was no longer breathing.
The man looked at the squad leader, who made a gesture. Five infantrymen continued to advance. One, two, three, and when the fourth step came, one infantry fell first, and the remaining four infantry fell one after another.
"Bastard!" The squad leader was furious, he took a grenade from his waist, pulled out the safety bolt, and threw it into the dry ditch. In his opinion, the invisible enemy must be hiding in the dry ditch. The blind cat touched the mouse to death, and he was blinded by it. The rest of the soldiers threw grenades one after another, two or three each.
They did not receive the order to drop the bomb, but they just followed the leader's example, and the goal was not clear, and the effect was naturally not good. Of the forty or fifty grenades, more than half exploded on both sides of the dry ditch, and a small half fell into the ditch. Two or three meters from Hu Yongsheng's side fell, and he clumped his body together, Rao was wearing the best full-body protective armor, and he was still shocked.
He didn't dare stay here anymore, and he heard more people coming this way.
Because sixteen teammates fell inexplicably, the infantry did not dare to easily come forward to check. While the smoke of gunpowder had not dissipated, Hu Yongsheng climbed out of the dry ditch and crawled away on all fours.
……
The settlements of Suzhou were almost razed to the ground by artillery fire. The Suzhou chieftain entered the underground fortifications through a secret passage outside the settlement. The situation was far worse than he had imagined, and more than 3,000 permanent residents of the settlement, more than 1,000 of whom did not have time to flee into the underground fortifications during the shelling. Of the nearly 2,000 people who fled, more than 700 were wounded.
There was a wailing in the underground fortifications, accompanied by the rumbling of cannons overhead. What the leader of Suzhou wants to do most now is to seize the leader of Populus Hu and cut him with a thousand knives. He also complained about the academy, and as the convener of the anti-Lanshan alliance, the academy didn't even know the enemy's movements.
In fact, this is not to blame the academy, Lan Shan carried out a major cleanup of outsiders inside and outside the settlement the day before going north, and both agents of the academy Shachen died in this purge operation. In order to ensure the safety of the agents, Shachen generally does not take the initiative to contact the field agents, so that the line is broken, and Shachen does not notice.
"Uncle Cousin, don't be in a daze." Juanjuan reminded, "Don't we still have a good thing?" If you don't take it out and use it again, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to use it in the future. ”
The good thing Juanjuan is talking about is called a duplex cloud burst bomb, which was found in the warehouse of a military ruin.
Cloudburst bombs are not a rare thing, they have been around since the twentieth century. This kind of bomb will explode twice, the first time will disperse the cloud explosive, forming a large aerosol cloud in the air, and the second time will detonate the cloud and mist, causing the explosion effect, forming an explosion area of high temperature, high pressure and lack of oxygen, and it will be extremely lethal to soft targets such as enemy personnel.
Two-phase cloudburst bombs, also known as cloudburst cluster bombs, contain multiple cloudburst rounds. When the mother bomb explodes, it does not detonate immediately, but rather pushes the bullet farther away through a shock wave. The bullet is detonated two more times, creating a larger killing area. The two two-phase cloudburst bombs obtained by Suzhou are far more powerful than the cloudburst bombs of the 20th century.
This is the card at the bottom of the box in Suzhou, who doesn't let the people of Suzhou live, then don't blame the people of Suzhou for fighting to break the net.
The leader of Suzhou hesitated for a moment, and the rumbling voice above his head helped him make a decision. He called a middle-aged man and walked with him.
The middle-aged man wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. In this day and age, people who wear glasses are definitely an outlier. As early as the 22nd century, myopia people will go for attosecond correction, and glasses manufacturers have long since changed their careers to do digital or decorative frames. The middle-aged man's glasses are antiques dug out of the soil layer of the soil from which century.
"Chief, are you moving?" The middle-aged man didn't want to ask this nonsense, he just wanted to take the opportunity to breathe through his mouth, which had no olfactory organ and didn't have to feel the taste of the leader.
"If you don't move, you have to give it to Lanshan. With this underground fortification, we won't be able to hold out for long. The leader turned his head to see the middle-aged man with his mouth open and struggling to breathe, and asked, "You have asthma?" ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly closed his mouth and shook his head.
At the end of a passage, the leader passes the palm print and iris verification and opens an alloy door. After walking in, the leader asked the middle-aged man to get ready as soon as possible, and he went to clean himself up a little. Don't talk about this smell, you can't stand it.
……
A mile south of the ruins of the Suzhou settlement, there are four neatly arranged phalanxes of mixed infantry and armored vehicles, who will carry out ground tasks after the shelling is over. Judging from their standing posture alone, the military looks neat and has received professional training. It's just that people don't understand why these people don't stay in armored personnel carriers, what is the point of standing in front of the enemy's ruins?
Perhaps, they never imagined that this settlement, which was about to be blown to the ground, would have the power to resist. Even if there were, it would only cause them a little trouble in the underground tunnels.
At the very front of the phalanx, the poplar leader was smiling at an officer:
"Commander Mo, please help us tell Yuan Feng Qiu again, our poplar will never become a burden to Lanshan."
Commander Mo said lightly: "The Lanshan Empire does not collect waste. ”
"We can't fight wars, but we're good at producing. The miscellaneous crumbs in Yuguan are all fed by us, and they come to grab them every one or two months, and our days can still be taken care of. ”
Commander Mo nodded: "Then you guys are good, you can move to the vicinity of Lanshan, and we will also grab it once a month." ”
The leader of Hu Yang hurriedly said: "You don't need to rob it, give us some more manpower, and we will send it over every month." We have contracted the food and clothing of the Lanshan Empire. Commander Mo, how's it going? You can't join at least be a vassal, right? ”
It's not that the poplar leader is cheap, and he is willing to lick the dog. He knew that the only fate of being a prisoner was to be sent to the ghost cave as an experimental subject, and he fought hard to protect himself.
Commander Mo smiled: "You can consider it." ”
The poplar chief also smiled, and he smiled sincerely, as if life was full of sunshine and hope. He tried to look at the ruins that were wailing and struggling under the fire with a deep gaze, but his eyes turned into horror uncontrollably, and his trembling hands pointed to the northern sky.
"Mo ...... Commander Mo, what's that? ”
