Chapter 45: The First Battle

In order to celebrate the birth of the first armed vehicle belonging to the Blue Earth Organization, Lin Chen specially named this simple-looking and single-function vehicle "Hope".

The Hope-class vehicle is basically modified on a civilian electric vehicle, with a large number of protective steel plates added to the outside, and at the same time the battery capacity is increased, the top of the car is removed, and a machine gun is mounted on it.

Although this light vehicle can only carry three people is very rudimentary, it has the advantage of being easy to produce and adapt.

After all, the streets are full of such cheap civilian cars. It's just that because it has been in disrepair for a long time, and at the same time it is seriously corroded by spores, it can't be repaired at all.

But in front of Lin Chen's alchemy repair technique, none of this mattered.

As long as there is enough gold, there is nothing that Lin Chen can't cultivate.

Arrange enough manpower to haul these scrap cars, and Lin Chen turned into a super repairman, and in just a few days, he repaired nearly fifty electric vehicles of all kinds with five thousand krypton.

And when these electric cars are repaired, the rest is the work of the technician.

Improvised technicians cobbled together twenty all-terrain armed vehicles through simple dismantling and replacement, plus brutal welding.

Each Hope-Class light vehicle has a 7 on it. 62mm light machine gun, at the same time with a battery range of one and a half thousand kilometers. The armor plates attached to it were enough to resist continuous fire from small arms of caliber 7mm or less. In addition to the all-terrain off-road speed of up to 120 kilometers per hour, it is a very cost-effective reconnaissance and combat dual-purpose vehicle.

In addition to these twenty light vehicles, Lin Chen also ordered the workers of the arsenal to modify three armed buses. One of them served as a command vehicle and was mainly responsible for commanding the entire unit.

These buses are all large school buses, which are quite strong in their own right.

In order to further improve the defensive power, those technicians also frantically installed a large number of protective steel plates on both sides of the car, which are up to 50 mm thick and can easily resist heavy machine gun fire, providing amazing protection for these buses.

With enough defense, without weapons that are fierce enough, wouldn't it be a waste of these large firepower platforms.

So those brainstorming technicians actually dismantled several 88mm rapid-fire guns in the Lord's Palace, and then modified them and installed them on these buses.

Charged steel plate plus an external 88 mm rapid-fire gun.

The combination of the two has transformed these buses into heavy-duty armored school buses that are extremely vicious on the outside and on the inside.

Fire support vehicles and armored vehicles are equipped with the three tanks that were originally captured, so much armor that the Western Sector already has a mechanized force of considerable size.

At the same time, an army of 500 men had begun to take shape.

Lin Chen's next plan can finally be implemented.

。。。。。。

A month later, a mechanized unit consisting of three main battle tanks, three heavy armored vehicles converted from armed school buses, and twenty light fire reconnaissance combat vehicles, as well as five hundred GIs, began a forced march to the west of SH.

And the lords of the other districts of SH learned that Lin Chen had put together such a powerful army in such a short period of time, and they were all so frightened that their hearts were about to pop out.

What was even more shocking was that Lin Chen led this powerful force not to start a war against other districts, but to lead the troops to launch an attack on the spore forests and insect and beast communities on the outskirts of SH.

In their eyes, leaving the barriers of the city and fighting the insects and beasts on the plains is simply suicidal.

After all, compared to the inside of SH City, there is no obstacle outside the city to stop the enemy's advance.

Once you encounter a large-scale swarm of insects and beasts, only 500 people, as long as the insects and beasts hit in a wave, they will be shattered, and they don't know how to die.

Just when everyone was not optimistic, Lin Chen still personally led the troops to set off.

The large force of nearly 500 people formed a long array, slowly left the western area, and began to advance towards the intended destination.

Time flies, and soon the figure of SH City disappears from people's sight.

It was the first time to be in such a distant unknown area, which was fraught with danger and uncertainty for such a large mechanized mixed force.

On the command car in the middle of the team, Lin Chen sat in the center, staring at the image on the screen and watching intently!

At this time, the screen shows the infrared surveillance screen from a high altitude.

It was precisely by relying on these high-altitude surveillance images that Lin Chen was able to lead the entire army, avoiding the huge swarms of insects and beasts entrenched outside the city, and advancing towards the intended goal.

These super drones with a flight range of up to twenty kilometers and a endurance of up to six hours are exactly the treasures that Lin Chen deliberately took out.

What wars are fought is information asymmetry. Attacking more and less, avoiding the real and making false noises, all of this is based on accurate intelligence.

If the intelligence is inaccurate, that is, if the number of troops is ten times more, they will be harassed by the other side and played to death. Therefore, what Lin Chen has always pursued is to fight steadily and steadily, and he will never rush forward easily.

The reason why he dared to lead a large army in a surprise attack was because a scavenger had recently picked up a broken drone.

Compared with large items such as cars, many small things such as drones have long since changed over time and have become unrecognizable wreckage with no repair value.

But with the deployment of large environmental purifiers, a large number of safe zones appeared, and those professional waste pickers searched very carefully in the safe area, and they found a moderately damaged drone in the basement of a collapsed villa area.

After Lin Chen got the news, he was like a treasure.

These three drones were repaired by him overnight, and then all strengthened to level 2. The performance has been greatly improved, enabling early warning and reconnaissance for the entire fleet.

It was only by relying on this reconnaissance artifact that the entire convoy was able to avoid those insect and beast gathering places and kill them straight towards their destination.

It's just that after driving for a few days, Lin Chen saw a scene that gave him a bit of a headache through the drone.

At this time, about 500 kilometers away from the western sector of SH, there was a ship with a badly damaged surface that was tilted into the soft sandy terrain.

If someone were standing here at this time, they would have noticed that the radiation in the area where the spacecraft fell was obviously exceeded.

Under normal conditions, this place will definitely become a desert of life that is uninhabited. But the strange thing is that the radiation around the spaceship is severe, but those strange spore trees grow more vigorously, and it seems that these terrifying plants have some kind of preference for radiation, and can even absorb this radiation as nutrients.

And where spore trees grow vigorously, there are also an unusually large number of insects and beasts.

Plenty of insects and beasts filled the vicinity of the crashed ship, roaming around, foraging for food, or fighting each other.

Powerful insects and beasts devour weak insects and beasts, and weak insects and beasts eat spore plants, and this place has become an ecosystem composed of insects, beasts and spore trees.

Judging from the video taken by the drone alone, there are at least hundreds of insects and beasts of different sizes gathered around the spacecraft. If you attack directly head-on, not to mention the five hundred people in Lin Chen's hands, even if they are twice as many, they can't resist the impact of the other party!

At this time, a middle-aged man standing behind Lin Chen looked at the insect beast on the screen hatefully and said, "Lord Lin Chen, is our target the crashed spaceship?" Give me the order, and I'll direct the troops to destroy those damned insects and beasts and reclaim that ship for you!" ”

"No, it's not the time yet. I know you all want to take revenge on the worms, but now we need to be patient, and I promise you, soon you'll have a chance to drink each other's blood! Lin Chen said.

"Yes, sir! My subordinates and I will endure it! ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man retreated behind Lin Chen here, silent.

His name is Lu Quan, he is a second lieutenant officer who Lin Chen has just promoted, and he used to be the captain of the militia team before the end of the world, and he has some experience in training militia troops.

It's a pity that the end of the world is coming, and the country is ruined.

In this group of poor people, they lost their comrades-in-arms, their families, and their former blood and belief in victory.

But now, under the leadership of Lin Chen, they have once again seen the dawn of victory.

Abundant food, a good environment, and a variety of new weapons emerged one after another, which made Lu Quan and most people full of confidence in the future, and they were also extremely loyal to Lin Chen from the bottom of their hearts.

For these veterans, the only way to wash away the humiliation of the past is to fight!
