Volume 1 Red Flame Beacon Chapter 9 The Base Attacked

It is a large hole that extends in all directions, and is used for rest and transit supplies. The roof of the cave has lighting and ventilation ducts, and there are three passages in the cave that lead to the front in addition to the entrance where we entered. There is a passage that is much wider, five or six meters wide.

I continued to leave three mechs at the entrance of the large cave so that they could send signals. This time, they joined forces with Hans and Xiao Chen and advanced towards a small tunnel, and most of the other squads advanced through the widest passage. After walking 200 meters around the pit, I put down a "praying mantis" and carefully observed whether there were any monitoring devices around.

"Praying Mantis" slowly moved forward, all the way showing that everything was normal in front of him, and after about 300 meters of progress, "Mantis" found that another big hole had appeared, and I ordered "Mantis" to climb from the top to the exit to take a look, and was surprised. There are nearly 100 mechs neatly lined up, seemingly ready to attack at any time, and even more fatally, there are three tracked heavy mechs with a two-link laser cannon. When it was over, the team members were taken aback. I told the mechs to stand by and discuss with Hans, when other teams came over and I went over to explain the situation to their captain, and they were stunned.

"Withdraw, the rebels must be prepared, it is difficult for us marines to deal with heavy mechas." One of the squad leaders, Liujin, said. Another squad leader, Otoum, said: "If you retreat now, you may only be chased by the rebels' heavy mechs, so it is better to fight." “

Hans and I looked at each other, and they all had a point, and Hans thought for a moment and proposed, "The rebels should mainly fight towards that big tunnel, and there may only be one more heavy machine left in the hole, and we just need to destroy this heavy machine." ”

I discussed it with a few captains, I thought about the shield situation of this heavy machine and said: "Let's wait for the big tunnel over there to be almost hit before letting the mecha attack first, this time there is no other way, we can only use the mecha to push them to death, the mecha attack first kill the rebels' small mecha, or at least suppress it, and then concentrate on the heavy mecha." ”

"Why don't you hit the heavy mech first?" Otto was a little puzzled.

"I estimate that heavy mecha has a very strong shield, and it will take a lot of time to blow it up, and its firing frequency is relatively low. If we can destroy other small mechs in a short period of time, the loss will not be very large, on the contrary, if we hit the heavy mech first, we will be attacked by a large number of small mechs before destroying it, and the loss will be very large. "I explained.

"Makes sense." The captains gave them appreciative glances.

"And." I continued: "The hole is too small, which is not conducive to the rapid deployment of troops, in order to avoid too large losses of a certain team in the first echelon, each team takes turns to send 5 mechs to attack, and after the attack, the second machine and the team members use grenades to suppress the mechs in the blind corner of our shooting, it is clear." ”

The captains agreed and immediately prepared to go. After a while, the "praying mantis" showed that the rebels' two heavy planes and nearly half of the mechs rushed towards the mouth of the big cave, and the roar suddenly stopped. I saw the right time to send a signal to the other captains, and the mechs immediately rushed towards the rebels, and the mechs that had just rushed up were immediately broken into pieces, but the mechs below rushed up and attacked the rebels without stopping. As more and more of our mechs entered the Great Cave, the rebels' mechs were finally destroyed or suppressed.

"Plugging the muzzle." I'm here today. Three or four battle-damaged mechs flew towards the enemy's heavy mecha guns with their backpacks, and then my team and I rushed up under the close cover of the mechs beside us. If we don't block the muzzle, if the heavy machine hits us who just attacked, and our team members die, no matter how many mechas, we will be finished.

"Boom, boom!" The mecha that flew to the muzzle of the gun was completely burst, and at this time, my team members and I, in addition to suppressing the mecha, nearly 100 laser guns, and more than 10 howitzers concentrated on the enemy's heavy aircraft, and after two rounds of firing, the enemy's heavy aircraft was finally defeated.

After destroying the heavy machine, the remaining enemy mechs were quickly wiped out by us. I looked at this big hole carefully, this should be a special defense of the cave position, there is a high wall on the position of more than 2 meters thick, about 3 meters high, said to be a high wall, in fact, it is also deliberately left when digging the hole, there are gun holes on the wall, large inside and small outside. If it weren't for the fact that we had a large number of people just now and suppressed their firepower, and many enemy troops were on guard outside the position, and not many of them were really left in the position, otherwise it would have been more difficult for us to occupy this hole, and the losses would have been even greater.

I took back the "praying mantis" and looked at the many wrecks of our side lying on the ground, many of which didn't even look like mechas, just piles of metal scraps. I mourn for them in my heart. My mechs are sorting out the wreckage of their companions, dismantling the usable "Citrine" and "White Crystal" and putting them on themselves, this is my order for a long time, and the mechs are on guard at the various tunnel entrances. This time, I lost three more mechs, which is certainly less than the other teams. I was sighing that I had always thought they were real beings, when suddenly a message came and I was taken aback.

"Our logistics base was attacked, suffered heavy losses, and we are ready to retreat." I was very helpless to report this information, and another captain, Efson, came over and asked strangely: "How do you know that the system is not working now, and you can't contact the outside!" ”

"When I came in, there were one or two mechs left at each cave entrance for guarding, they were not far from the outside, and the system could still receive information."

Efson was stunned, obviously a little surprised by what I was doing. The captains were also surprised, but they also believed my message, and they all prepared to retreat from the pit where they had entered.

"Whoosh" A mecha that stayed on guard at the entrance of the big pit was hit by a shot, and the team hurriedly ran towards the mouth of the small pit in confusion. I was in a hurry, and while retreating, I sent a message to let myself and Hans's mecha hide behind the high wall, and shouted: "Don't panic, it should be the two heavy planes that went out just now and the enemy army came back, we have a lot of people, and now we are in the cave to facilitate firepower, and now we are concentrating our firepower at the entrance of the cave, they can't beat us, and they will hit the mecha first and put the heavy machine in." ”

Only then did the team members come to their senses and retreat to the high wall, which had just hindered us now became an effective means of defense for us.

A heavy machine rushed out of the hole with a mecha, and the mecha was exploded one after another. "Whoosh" I don't know who fired a shot at the heavy machine first, so the group of guns fired at the heavy machine.

"Boom!" This heavy plane was destroyed by us, and the sound of the other heavy plane gradually faded away, probably to see that the situation was not good and retreated. I looked at Hans, and he was looking at me, and the eyes of both sides were helpless, and they could have been killed by waiting for both heavy planes to enter the hole and then fighting, but now they scared one back, but it would be bad if he waited for us in the next hole.

"Whoever hits the heavy machine first." Some team members scolded.

"How do I know if there's just one?" The man was a little unconvinced.

"You can't listen to sounds!" The man was so sorry that he didn't make a sound. I secretly scolded these team members who didn't have basic tactical literacy in my heart, and I don't know how many mechs will be damaged in battle.

"Well, now is not the time to complain." A couple of captains and I stopped the pointless quarrels. At the same time, after some discussion, it was decided to retreat to the hole in front of him in two ways.

"The enemy should be waiting for us at the entrance of the cave we passed just now, no one can spread their fire in the tunnel, we still have to divide our forces and contact us when we get to the hole outside." Hans suggested.

Several captains basically agreed, so we split into two ways. Hans and Efsen's men and I marched through the small pit where we had entered. Soon the mechs left in the cave outside were summoned to find a heavy machine coming towards the hole he was guarding, so I told him to retreat into the tunnel and let the other mechs who stayed outside gather at his point, if the enemy army was waiting for us in the cave, they could also play a role.

Retreating to the hole he had just passed, the "Praying Mantis" showed that another enemy heavy plane and mech were ready for battle. At this point, the system was restored, and I summoned another team to concentrate their fire on the heavy planes after seven or eight mechs had rushed out of the hole.

"Why don't you fight according to the original tactics?"

"Trust me." I don't have time to elaborate. After issuing the order to attack at the same time, the mechs rushed out one after another, and after a bang came from outside, my team members and I also rushed out, and the mechs I left outside played a big role, they fired before us, and under the attack from both sides, the enemy's heavy machine was the first to be exploded. After being attacked, nearly half of the enemy mechs turned around and attacked the mechs that were placed outside, which greatly reduced the pressure on my side. When the enemy mechs found that there were only a few mechs attacking on one side, they turned around to attack our side, most of the mechs had already rushed into the hole, forming a numerical advantage over the enemy, and the battle ended quickly, and my team lost 5 mechs, 4 of which were left outside to respond.

The captains came over to show me their goodwill, and they all knew that if it weren't for the mechs I picked up outside, the losses would be very high. Efson came over and slapped me hard: "Good boy. I'll be with you in the battle below. ”

I looked at Hans, and it seemed that our team had grown again. The troops finally retreated outside, only to see the logistics base in the distance full of flames, and the mechs that exited the tunnel also moved closer to our heavy mecha troops like a tide, and this time the defeat was really miserable.
