Volume 1 Red Flame Beacon Chapter 6 Discussion on Operations

The universe is vast, tens of billions of years, my life is short, how can I go to a distant place!

Although there is no need to be afraid, I will sail far away, protect my earth, and protect my hometown!

Today, there is a strong enemy who invades my frontier, and my generation needs to go bravely!

The Pacific Ocean is our heart, and the Himalayas are our backbone!

Hundreds of millions of compatriots are behind me, just waiting to go home and raise a glass and sing together! Just wait to go home and raise a glass and sing together!

The majestic song of the earth sounded, and I sang with a group of members from the earth in a neat line early in the morning. At the front of the procession were nine white metal cabinets, the last homes of the fallen soldiers. This is the first time I have participated in the Memorial Farewell Ceremony, and I mourn for them silently, believing that their heavenly spirits will receive the blessings and admiration of us survivors. After completing the farewell rites of their companions, these bodies are returned to HQ and buried in accordance with the customs of their home planet, Earth.

Everyone's faces were sad, and they couldn't help but feel sad when they looked at the team members who were still fighting and living together a few days ago. In this modern war where small S is popular, in today's highly developed modern medicine, the sacrifice of every member of the team is a huge loss. Some of the team members had tears in their eyes and wept softly, probably from the same squad as the fallen members. Everyone sang the song hoarsely or in high spirits, and every note of the song was circling in my head. I suddenly had a thought, this Red Flame Star has been run by these rebels for decades, can it be regarded as their hometown!

"Defend the earth, protect the alliance, the dead live, the living know their fate." After singing the song, everyone shouted slogans together.

"Salute! Dequeue! With the commander's shout, all the squad leaders took three steps forward and came to the coffin.

"Carry the bodies of martyrs." With another call of calls, we lifted each coffin in groups of six, each of us walking as far as we could to the transport plane that had come to transport the body, and walked the last few steps with our warriors. After the coffin was set up on the plane, we retreated, stood and raised our hands with the rest of the team, and we did not lower our arms until the transport plane turned into a small bird in the sky.

Everyone then dispersed, and I beckoned Xiao Zhang and Xiao Chen to go back to the temporary station to rest, and the three of them sat in a room, and their emotions had not yet come out of the ceremony just now.

"The team leaders have a meeting at the temporary headquarters!" Before the buttocks were hot, the headset issued a line of orders, which should be to hold a summary meeting and lay out the next stage of tactical tactics. I slowly stood up and shook my head to get myself excited. As I walked towards the headquarters, I thought about what I might discuss, but I was a little sad and walked a little slowly, and when I arrived at the headquarters, everyone was basically there, so I found a vacant seat and sat down.

There are a total of 60 squads of two brigades in the Marine Corps attack, counting a total of 200 members and 2,900 mechs in the two brigade headquarters, 381 mechs have been destroyed in battle, 156 mechs have been damaged in battle, and 9 members have been killed. The losses are still very large, although the mecha can be mass-produced, but this time the long-range fleet has not many troops, except for the ten squads that have not been dispatched on the mothership, these are the only ones that can be used.

Both captains took off their headsets at this time and breathed deeply in the air with 16% oxygen, which was still fighting on terrestrial planets, and if they fought on other types of planets, the losses could be even greater. Dozens of squad leaders sat in the temporary headquarters of several hundred square meters, which was a little crowded, everyone was calm, the battle situation was much more complicated than everyone expected, and the mood should be very bad.

"Let's talk casually first, talk about their views on this operation, sum up and exchange experience, say anything before the order is given, and carry out the order well." said Mbau, the captain of the black team, who is also my immediate supervisor.

The atmosphere was a little stiff, and it was easy for someone to speak: "The rebels have strong firepower, sufficient soldiers, and stubbornly resist by the terrain, and the fleet's early firepower attack is not enough, so our marines will suffer too much losses, so let the fleet continue to increase its firepower, or simply use photon artillery to flatten it." "It was Yamaguchi who spoke, not much older than me, and he looked stunned.

"Captain Yamaguchi, don't forget our mission, if we use the photon cannon if we encounter a little difficulty, then our marines can only drink tea in the mothership, and everyone can retire after returning home this time." One person was obviously very dissatisfied with Yamaguchi's remarks, and retorted it, and everyone burst into laughter.

I shook my head secretly, this Yamaguchi is not so much an idea as a complaint, the power of the photon cannon is very great, it is not a problem to flatten the entire hill, it can be described as a big killer weapon of the fleet, but it also consumes a lot of energy. Each photon cannon in the mothership carries less than twenty times of energy, and if there is no need, the commander will use the photon cannon. Besides, this mission is to recover something important from the rebels, such as using photon cannons to defeat the enemy, our mission is equivalent to failure. After someone started, everyone began to express their own opinions, but most of them complained, and there were basically no substantive constructive comments.

"Be quiet, everyone listen to me," one of them said loudly, "I think we underestimated the enemy's situation this time, the suppression firepower is too weak, each squad is only equipped with 2 second planes this time, none of them are one plane, the number of Thor is too small, and the cooperation between Thor and us is not tacit, and the next step must be to improve cooperation, otherwise this battle will not be able to fight." ”

Someone finally made a useful point, and Mbo looked at him and nodded. He looked at me again: "Captain Su, this time your team's battle damage is very low, let's talk about it." ”

I didn't expect to be named, but I didn't have stage fright: "I found out that the enemy used a lot of pre-programmed positions this time, and the actual losses may be smaller than everyone expected, the enemy uses the terrain to hold on, these positions they have operated for decades, it is more complicated, and it is unrealistic for us to achieve victory in a short time as originally planned." Of course, when attacking, we must also make full use of the terrain, and pay special attention to suppressing the enemy's fire when advancing and retreating. Our firepower is too weak, the laser guns of the three planes can only fire two shots a second, it is recommended that if you do not have the cooperation of other troops, you can concentrate about seven or eight three planes at each point to suppress or let the second machine release grenades to suppress, so as to reduce the loss of mechas. One thing to remind everyone is that this battle should be very long, and everyone must pay attention to saving energy. ”

The crowd listened to me, some nodded, some tilted their heads to one side in thought. Tom, the other captain, looked at me and then at Mbo, not knowing whether he was in favor or against.

"Everyone knows how to save energy, but seven or eight points have to be suppressed, how to save?" One person was a little unconvinced.

"Nobody told you to turn it up to 30A max power." I looked at him and said angrily.

"How do you know that if I am transferred to 30A, if I am adjusted to 30A, I can blow up a mecha with 4 shots?"

"I see that you only have a piece of citrine that you bring, it should be this usage! If you can hit and adjust to 30A, of course, it's no problem, but when the fire is suppressed, the average of ten shots is calculated, I'm afraid I will return one shot! "Citrine is packed on the left and right waists for easy removal, and many team members look at the person, there is really only one piece, and most people have at least 5 or 6 pieces. Some people laughed from time to time, and it was a bit too much for the current situation of the war.

"And how much do you tune into?" The man was a little annoyed.

"100A, enough for suppression."

"Yes, no matter how advanced the energy wave instrument is, it can't detect whether the power of the laser gun is 30A or 100A." Someone on the side nodded appreciatively.

"Okay, don't fight, I don't care if you transfer to 30A or 100A, just destroy the enemy, it's okay if you lose a lot of energy and mecha, it doesn't matter if the team members are okay." Tom said that the player who only had a piece of citrine left was obviously his subordinate, and he was a little annoyed to see him use it to this extent, but he still played a round for his subordinates.

"Let's talk about the next part of the battle, everyone put forward ideas, and the battle still depends on you to fight."

As soon as the captain said this, the team members expressed their attitudes, and some team members said: "The threat of laser thunder is relatively large, and the thunder must be swept away, otherwise this battle will not be able to be fought. “

"yes, yes." There is no consensus on this issue.

"It should be possible to ask the mechanic department to assemble a few microwave instruments to reconnoitre!"

"I'm afraid it's useless, I don't know if it's a laser mine that works like that, and the micro-energy wavemeter is not omnipotent." There was a lot of talk.

Tom looked at us and said, "The laser mine is to be dealt with, and I discussed it with Captain Mbo just now, but I want to hear you talk about the situation at the scene when the laser mine attacked. ”

A squad leader named Haisen said: "There was no sign at that time, everything was very sudden, generally speaking, laser thunder attacks indiscriminately, but this time it seems that only Thor was hit, and the mecha was not directly attacked, which is a bit strange." ”

"Captain, there are survivors of the Thor Force, ask them and you may know the characteristics of laser mines." Someone was inspired by Haysom to ask.

"That's right, I'll talk to their captain."

Thor is a heavy mecha unit, and a squadron leader is at the same level as our team leader, and the team leader has no authority to order them. After a while, Thor's pilot came, and it was a Saipan from Saipan, a total of 8 people. Their average height is only about 1.6 meters, which is about 30 centimeters shorter than those of us who originated from the earth. This is the first time I've seen the Saipan people so closely, their facial structure is similar to ours, but they have no eyebrows, thin eyes, a small nose and a small mouth, and they look too miserable with the aesthetics of earthlings, of course, I guess they look at us too, but in this time, it is very unusual in the army dominated by earthlings. They are small, and many heavy mecha units are operated by them, and they are nicknamed "ironclad rats" by many team members.
