Volume IV, Chapter 16, December (Thursday), December 2117
Xu Xiaoting was unhappy in her heart, with this unpleasant energy, she (it) worked much faster, it struggled to tighten a cable head - two or three cables came out of the wall, like a snake, Xu Xiaoting plugged two of the cables into the charging socket on the back of Casey and Craven, and snapped tightly. Then, she patted the two of them on the shoulder: "While charging, slow down when doing movements, don't trip." β
Casey and Craven turned their faces to the side and nodded.
At this time, Casey, Craven and Bliss were standing in front of the window, shooting at the hellhounds in the street several floors below. There was no fire in the muzzle - an electromagnetic rifle was used.
These electromagnetic rifles, all picked up when cleaning the battlefield, should be the fourth and fifth rounds of supplies dropped by airborne, with sufficient ammunition, and each gun is fully equipped with 500 rounds of energy bullets.
This is one of the reasons why Craven decided to fight a sniper battle inside this building. The muzzle of the gun has no fire, the sound of the gun is small, it is not easy to attract the attention of the Cerberus, and the ammunition is sufficient, the power is large enough, and the range is long enough. With these guys, you can't afford to fight the Cerberus - in the Western Legion, the "lives" of robots are not to be wasted at will.
Xu Xiaoting stood behind Craven, and through the window, she saw that on the street, under the street lamps, some of the teams were still engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Cerberus.
In the opposite building, there was a fire flashing from the windows on the fifth floor, which was supposed to be another sniper team. They support their comrades in hand-to-hand combat in the streets. However, judging from the light of the fire, it is obvious that they are not using electromagnetic rifles, but traditional gunpowder ammunition.
As mentioned earlier, it was not long before the Cerberus discovered the firepower in the high buildings, and they began to climb the walls of the buildings in groups, like black vines, growing rapidly in the moonlight, and climbing the outer walls of the buildings.
"They should stop shooting, bunch of." Bliss cursed as he fired a shot at one of the Cerberus in the opposite building.
"I guess they should understand, they're not newbies." Craven said.
"I bet they'll keep shooting!" Casey said as he shot.
At this moment, the comrades in the opposite building stopped shooting and disappeared into the darkness again.
Avoid the limelight, fight again, and annihilate the enemy's living force, Xu Xiaoting remembers this combat mode, which was the battle mode that the people of country C were most proud of more than 100 years ago - guerrilla warfare.
"Change the room, change the window, shoot again. Not a bad way. "We don't have to go through the hassle. Craven fired another shot, the bullet slicing through the air and flying towards one of the hapless Cerberus with a thud.
The sound was fleeting, and there was no fire from the muzzle. "According to your Tang Dynasty words, what is this called?" Bliss muttered to himself.
"You mean the secret weapon?" Xu Xiaoting thought about it and said.
"That's right! It is...... Hidden weapon! Briss gritted his teeth and fired another shot, the recoiling force of the gun causing its shoulders to jerk.
Briss and Casey counted every Cerberus they killed, and now, Briss had counted to 15! But as expected, the cosy days of hiding in high places and firing cold guns didn't last long.
I don't know when the Cerberus suddenly regarded the entire building as an enemy and began to tear the walls of the building frantically.
"Yo fire, these miscellaneouss are enraged!" Bliss scolded, glancing at Craven, "What to do?" Now they're going to tear down the house! β
Casey glanced at Craven as well. But Craven didn't answer - the current situation is clear, the robot battle team on the street has been annihilated by Cerberus, and for now, even if Cerberus demolishes the house, he can only hide in the house.
"Kill one more and count it as one, and then let's talk about running out of bullets." Craven sighed.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoting and the four of them all felt the building shake. "They're crawling up." Casey warnedγγγγγγ
Meanwhile, on the western shore of Lake Mick, the 1st Airborne Division of the Western Corps was engaged with the Cerberus as they poured out of the lake. More than 80 armored vehicles were dropped on the battlefield in an attempt to choke the source and throat of the enemy's troops.
Six batches of Destroyer cluster bombs (weapons of mass destruction) have also arrived at the nearest air base in Las Vegas. This weapon has been used on the battlefield in Iraq against the Iraqi Republican Guard, and has been condemned by international public opinion, but Country A has always denied it.
However, surprisingly, when the 1st Airborne Division landed on the western shore of Lake Mick, the black torrent of Cerberus stopped gushing out, and the surface of Lake Mick quickly returned to calm. The 1st Airborne Division cursed, hating itself for not arriving on the battlefield earlier.
The reason why the enemy stopped pouring out of the lake was unclear for a while, but the six-pointed commanders speculated that it might be almost dawn and the ghosts could not see the light of day.
In order to further confirm whether the enemy has stopped reinforcing the enemy, the Western Legion has dropped some underwater robots and dived into Lake Mick to see if there is an expected enemy exit or cave at the bottom of the lake, but due to the complex terrain at the bottom of the lake and the limited depth of the robots, they have not been able to find anything.
The fighting in the city continued until dawn, when the gunfire in Las Vegas stopped at dawn.
Country A announced to the whole world the victory in the battle, but did not mention the losses in the battle.
A day later, Air Force One, conference room, the president and officials were already seated.
The blonde secretary put a document and a cup of coffee in front of the president.
"Five months ago, I had coffee with Senator Gordon," the president said, looking at the officials and spreading his hands, "but now he's unfortunate enough to be on the missing list." β
The president picked up the document and handed it to everyone for circulation, with a satellite photo in it. The photo shows an overturned armored car - the wheels of the armored car have disappeared, and a large hole has been made in the bottom of the vehicle......
"I just hope that you can manage your crotch well, these are extraordinary times, don't be too attached to the good life of the past." The president said, "After winning this war, you have a lot of time to look for flowers and willows, don't you?" Guys?"
None of the people in the room said anything.
"Have you ever asked yourself," the president continued, "what have we lost in this battle?" He stood up and walked around the conference table, patting them on the shoulder as he walked behind them.
"Mr. Duke," he paused a little longer as the president walked up behind Duke, "Mr. Duke always tells me how many more robots we've lost in this battle, how much of the NGDP, but I want to say that the loss of robots, not the most important loss β in raccoon, we lost two scientists, and in Las Vegas another dignitary lost himself!" β
Behind everyone who passed by in turn, the president took two more steps and returned to his seat, but did not sit down in his chair.
"When are you going to get people back?" The president propped his hands on the table and looked at the people in turn, although his gaze was soft, but extremely heavy, "What kind of connection does these creatures have with the protozoa, with the anthill, and with the things that Cabrera does to hide from the government and the people?" β
The president turned his attention to Duke again.
