Chapter 27: Troubled
"General, what should we do now?" The adjutant asked.
Shen Dan yelled angrily: "What else can I do!" Dominating these rebels, of course! ”
"Yes! The subordinates understood. Although the adjutant agreed, he muttered in his heart: "At this time, I am afraid it is impossible to completely annihilate the rebels......
"You go on!" Shen Shan said to the intelligence officer.
The intelligence officer was also frightened by Shen Dan's angry appearance, and stammered a little: "Yes...... Yes. Now the rebels are fighting for the city with our ground forces, and for the time being, there is no winner. Other than that...... And ......"
"What else? Just say it! ”
"And ...... Now several spaceports in Yueqiu have been occupied by the rebels, and if our army wants to strike at Yueqiu again, we must first recapture these spaceports. The intelligence officer said resignedly.
"Li Quan, this waste! I lost the spaceport, I must kill him! Shen Dan's eyes were red and he said angrily.
The adjutant knew Shen Dan's temper very well, and seeing his blood-red eyes, he knew that he was really murderous, and Li Quan was afraid that he would be more than lucky.
The relationship between Adjutant Tao Ji and Li Quan is not bad, and it is the same period of the military academy, so he has to say a few good words to Li Quan no matter what.
"In fact, Li Quan can't be blamed for this, after all, the fleet in his hands is limited, and it is already very difficult to deal with the rebels' counterattack, and it is not realistic to keep the spaceport." Tao Ji said.
However, Shen Shan is not in the mood to think about these now, he is angry and just wants to find a place to vent his anger.
"We'll talk about that later, but now let's think about how to get a few spaceports back." Shen Shan interrupted the adjutant's words.
Tao Ji didn't dare to say any more, thinking that he would find another opportunity to persuade him another day, and it would be too unjust to let Li Quan be shot like this.
The current Pegasus City is in ruins, due to the indiscriminate attack of the 7th Fleet, which has caused more than 200,000 casualties, and various buildings and facilities have been seriously damaged, and it is no longer suitable for human habitation.
Those who survived had no choice but to flee outside the city with their families and take refuge in the mountains and wilderness where the fighting could not be reached for the time being, waiting for the end of the war.
Due to the behavior of the 7th Fleet, the people of Yueqiu now have even more hatred for the government army than the rebels, and many young people have joined the rebels in a fit of rage, or have begun to secretly provide various conveniences for the rebels.
Because of this, the ground forces of the 7th Fleet are currently in a rather awkward and difficult situation in Pegasus City.
They were outnumbered by the rebels, but with the disappearance of air superiority and opposition from the local population, they were embattled.
A team of four Hunter 5 mechs patrolled the streets, and the roads were full of rubble and rubbish, and except for the occasional few rats, it was almost impossible to see a human figure.
However, the soldiers sitting in the cockpit did not dare to be careless at all, and in recent days, many comrades-in-arms have been attacked by surprise, and no less than dozens of people have been killed or wounded, which has made the people of these Marine Corps regiments panic.
These soldiers also had a grudge in their hearts, and they traveled thousands of miles to save the people besieged by the rebels, and instead of thanking them, these people secretly helped the rebels, making it difficult for them to distinguish between friend and foe.
"Hey, you guys should show me more carefully, and report anything suspicious as soon as you find it." The captain's voice came from the communicator.
"Understood."
"Understood."
The mech team traveled down the street to a place they hadn't searched before, and today they were tasked with scouting the area, as another team was ambushed here yesterday, resulting in a mech being blown up and the pilot being seriously injured.
For this reason, the superiors decided to investigate the area again, they suspected that there were rebel dens hiding here, and if they could find and destroy them, they could make future patrols much safer.
"Attention, the factory area is about to enter ahead, everyone be vigilant and turn on the holographic scan." The captain said again.
"Understood." Several mech pilots responded.
As he spoke, the four mechs had already walked into the ruined factory area, which was full of staggered factories and huge machines that had been broken, as if they had arrived in a steel jungle.
The collapsed buildings and equipment form a vast labyrinth that looks so violent, and even a big guy like a mech doesn't stand out here.
The deeper you go into the factory area, the more terrifying the atmosphere becomes, and in some places it is very dark even in broad daylight, and visibility is very problematic.
"Report! I seem to have found something! The driver of the No. 3 machine said suddenly.
"Stop!" The captain immediately ordered.
The four mecha survived one after another, and the pilot of the No. 3 machine immediately sent the image that had just been scanned to the others, and sure enough, from the thermal scanning map, there was indeed a large heat source dozens of meters away, and according to the analysis of the computer, it was very likely to be a powerful engine.
"There are indeed things, but not like mechs." The captain said, "Send the drone to take a look." ”
The attachment hatch of the mecha opened, a micro-drone was ejected, the propellers on the plane rotated rapidly, and the drone swayed for a while before stabilizing its balance and slowly rising into the air.
The video feed from the drone was soon displayed on the main screen of the mech's cockpit, which was full of such ruins for miles, and the area was badly damaged during the last air strike, and scorch marks could be seen almost everywhere.
"It's close to the heat source, and it seems to be underneath the ruins of the building. I let the drone go down, maybe I can see something. ”
The drone slowly descended to the ground, and the video gradually grew larger, and a flickering red light source could be faintly seen through the cracks in the ruins.
"Probably some kind of machine, but it's certainly not a mech." The captain said calmly.
"Now you can rest assured." The others let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the captain shouted, "Something is approaching!" ”
Before the voice fell, the video transmitted by the drone had turned into a snowflake spot, and then a prompt appeared on the screen: The video signal is interrupted!
"Hell! Something attacked the drone! The captain shouted: "There is an ambush around here, everyone be careful!" ”
At this moment, the mech's scanner issued a warning, and several life points appeared nearby, and quickly approached the mech's location.
"Someone's coming! Get ready for battle! ”
The four mechs quickly raised the laser guns in their hands, each aiming in one direction, and no matter which direction the other party approached, they would immediately be attacked by the mechs.
However, no one expected that the other party was coming from above, just above the mecha, on top of the tall machine, several people in black tight-fitting combat uniforms had already drawn their bows and arrows.
"Whoosh...... Several sharp arrows pierced the air and whistled towards the mech.
This is not an ordinary bow and arrow, but an arrow with the tip that can be unfolded into a hook claw, and a high-strength nanomaterial alloy rope is connected to the tail of the arrow, and it is clear that the attacker's purpose is to limit the mech's movement.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
The tip of the arrow firmly grasped the surface of the mech, and the alloy rope at the tail immediately tightened, lifting the mech upwards.
"Not good! They want to hoist the mech! A mech pilot exclaimed.
"Don't panic! Cut the rope with a saber. The captain ordered: "If you can't cut your own rope, help others cut it, and help each other, you know!" ”
"Understood!" The team members agreed, and immediately drew their sabers and slashed at each other's ropes.
However, the attackers did not sit idly by, and immediately more arrows were fired at the mech, which kept pulling the mech upward. As the ropes increased, the mecha was hoisted off the ground little by little, and the alarm immediately sounded inside the mecha.
"Not good! There are a lot of them, and my mech has left the ground! ”
"Damn! Whoever came up with the solution, it's just disgusting! ”
Seeing that the situation was critical, the team leader also knew that it was impossible to cut the rope immediately, so he immediately changed the order: "Stop cutting the rope, shoot me up, and blow up here!" ”
"But Captain, if this place collapses, we'll be buried underneath!"
"I can't care so much, let's get rid of these bunnies first! Call me! ”
"Understood!"
The four mechs raised their laser guns together and fired a sweep overhead, the lasers quickly shot through the rubble overhead and shredded it, and scrap metal and a large number of cement slices fell like a torrential rain.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
All kinds of messy things smashed on the surface of the mecha, and the loud noise made the people in the cockpit tremble, once the mecha was smashed, they were directly trapped in this iron shell.
Fortunately, the mech's external armor was extremely strong, and the large number of building fragments only smashed the surface of the mech, but did not damage the mech's structure.
Those who attacked the mechs from above had long since been scared away, and suddenly they heard "Boom! With a loud bang, the ruins that were already about to collapse finally collapsed, and a huge cloud of dust rose violently, as spectacular as a huge explosion.
The four mechs were crushed underneath by a large amount of steel and building debris, but none of them were too heavy, and the mechs were not seriously injured.
I have to say that the luck of a few mechs is very good, even if the ruins completely collapsed, it didn't cause them much trouble, but the people sitting in the mecha were scared half to death.
"Oh my God! I thought I was going to die! ”
"It's crazy! My life is going to be shortened! ”
The first to come back to his senses was still the captain, only to hear him say: "Don't be in a hurry to be happy, we will climb out of here immediately, and we will all move for me!" ”
As soon as the voice came, a few rockets were swished out of nowhere, "Boom! It exploded next to the mech, and the flames quickly surrounded several mechs.
