Chapter 9: The First Night of Alpha
On the first day, late at night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Union soldiers on the Yellow Heights are ready to attack, and non-commissioned officers are next to each other inspecting their men's equipment, from spare rifle magazines to first-aid kits. The most important thing is to check that the alloy plates on the armor booster vest are properly equipped. High-strength alloy plates are an important piece of protective gear that can save lives when necessary.
The commando team in their early twenties was ready to go, but the top soldiers assigned by Haili were two recruits who had just completed their recruit training. With four non-commissioned officers in the ranks, Haili's assignment didn't seem to be routine. As a rule, the spearhead should be an experienced veteran.
This time, Haili chose to combine stealth approach with left and right outflanking. A team of only thirty men, divided into eight men, circled from the right to the left flank of the enemy, and agreed to attack at the same time. Although it is only a simple tactic, it cannot but be said that it is quite practical.
The enemy's tunnels had been dug to a distance of only one hundred and fifty meters from the position, and by breaking through this distance, the soldiers would be able to attack the enemy with the help of the tunnels.
Obviously, the enemy was well aware of this, so they also arranged for some of them to post sentry, and most of them stayed in the rear to build temporary camps. After all, these rabbles that came from cities dozens of kilometers away did not have the treatment that only Marines have. At least on cold nights, they can take turns lying in the landing craft for a while.
The outflanked group had already set off in advance, while the rest waited for the moment of the charge. The newcomers in the team were very nervous, after all, in this battle, there was no artillery support, no reinforcements, and they could only rely on themselves.
Haili's hand stretched high into the trench, clenched into a fist and suddenly unfolded, pointing in the direction where the enemy was. With the help of the tactical helmet's night vision, all the soldiers could clearly see the gesture made by the hand.
The two assigned spearmen leaped out of the trench and swooped down on the enemy at the foot of the hill. They were followed by the commando commander Hai Li.
A distance of one hundred and fifty meters in a straight line, a short downhill road, the soldier ran and jumped, and it took only five seconds to get up close and personal with the enemy sentry. Almost instantaneously, the peaceful night was broken by the shouts of the warring sides. The sparse sound of gunfire and scattered explosions made the night even darker.
"Free fire." Hai Li, who was walking in the middle, gave a loud order, and at this moment Hai Li's spirit was already highly tense, in addition to commanding the battle, she also had to take care of the rookie.
"Free fire." The non-commissioned officers of the other squads repeated the orders from the lieutenant commander, and the muzzles of their rifles began to glow with a pale blue light frequently.
Private Lu Heng was very sad, he was recruited by the Marine Corps because of his excellent physical fitness when he was just an adult, and he was thrown to the battlefield in just six months of basic training. In the first battle, before the enemy could be seen clearly, the enemy was already repulsed. And now, five hours later, Lu Heng, who participated in the second battle, felt that it was difficult to just follow the commander.
The sand here is soft to step on, which always reminds him of the desert of his hometown. His hometown is a poor planet with nothing but sand and crystals. And this group of terrible enemies did not know what reinforcement was used, and the walls of the tunnel were as hard as steel, and even the metal bullets used by the enemy could be bounced away.
The sound of "ding, ding, ding......" bouncing always sounded in Lu Heng's ears, which made him feel terrified. Syllable. The sudden impact on his shoulder slowed Lu Heng's movements.
An arm stretched out from the front, grabbing Lu Heng's tactical vest and dragging it. Lu Heng was a little frightened in his heart, the impact just now was a bit like a legendary bullet. However, on his tactical helmet, the life support system only reflected that his heart was beating fast, and other than that, he was not injured.
"Second soldier, hurry up and give me back to my senses." Hai Li helplessly looked at the subordinates who were hit by stray bullets in the torso, but were protected by enhanced armor and were not injured. patted Lu Heng's helmet with her free left hand, but Hai Li, who still didn't react, didn't even take a second to make a decision. "Leave him behind, and the others continue the assault."
"Understood." The soldiers did not hesitate, and passed by Lu Heng one after another, and Lu Heng could even clearly know that seven people had passed.
Don't leave me. Lu Heng struggled fiercely, but he couldn't say a word in his mouth.
"Brother, you have to keep up." Everyone who passed by Lu Heng's side would always have a free hand, pat his helmet, and say a word to him. It was not ridicule, nor encouragement, it was just simple habitual words, but it made Lu Heng feel extremely humiliated.
"Tangyuan, what are you shooting, I'm not dead yet." When a private, Xinding, who joined the team at the same time as him, stretched out his hand to pat his helmet, Lu Heng stood up with a rifle "poof".
"You're not dead, you're down." Private Tang Yuan laughed and retorted Lu Heng's words.
"Bastard." Lu Heng scolded in a low voice, but he was stunned to find that his fear had subsided, although the hand holding the gun was still a little trembling, but it was no longer weak.
The advance of the team met with fierce resistance at a distance of 700 meters, and the enemy's numerical superiority was fully exploited. Although Haili, as a commander, is confident in her own strength, she firmly remembers the original purpose of this war. So, in this fight, Haili won't pull the trigger unless necessary.
"Lieutenant, we are blocked, the density of enemy fire is too great to storm it." The front team was overwhelmed by enemy fire and had to ask Haili for help.
Charging against the enemy's bullets is either a fool or a madman. Although there are many crazy people in the Marine Corps, rookies are often normal people. The choice of the forward non-commissioned officer is very correct, because of a certain new Ding, Hai Li, who is temporarily left behind, can only let them maintain the status quo.
"See that fire point? Soldier, you're in charge of taking it out. Haili casually grabbed a soldier and gave the order.
āā¦ā¦ā
Lu Heng, who had just caught up and was assigned a task, was speechless for a while, and it seemed that the lieutenant commander who was in the battle did not notice him.
"The Green Team has arrived, cover shots." Hayley quickly sticks her head out of the trench and then retracts back, her hands always blocking most of the helmet in the process, a trick to use the reinforced alloy plates of her forearms to increase the protection of her head. Of course, in the school, the instructor teaches to take off the helmet, push it out with a rifle, and use the camera function of the tactical helmet to conduct reconnaissance.
However, Haili apparently did not follow the guidance of the tactical manual, and as a commander, she needed to know more information. For example, at that moment just now, she saw the roundabout detachment sent before.
At this time, there was confusion on the left flank of the enemy, and some of the enemy abandoned their bunkers and began to flee. But there was still no ceasefire at that firing point, and the frontal assault brigade was still suppressed.
"Soldier, I order you to knock out that firing point. Don't make me say a third time, soldier. Haili repeated the order again. The difference between a newcomer and a veteran is probably that in the face of sudden changes, newcomers always seem helpless and don't know how to respond. And if it was a veteran, he would have launched an attack as early as the moment when the enemy's chaotic firepower was messy before.
Well, they need time to get used to, this is a real battlefield, not a training ground. But in Haili's view, this is a training ground.
"Yes, sir."
Lu Heng had already thought of a way, although the Marine Corps was not equipped with professional individual support equipment, but the tactical manual mentioned a flexible use of energy bars. And this new rifle, which was equipped with all the federal forces five years ago, has a variety of functions that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Heng stood up violently, and at the same time aimed the rifle at the target, a point of fire that kept shining brightly. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger directly, and at that moment, the sound was completely different from that made when ordinary shots, this time the muzzle made a dull sound.
"Boom"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
After the initial explosion, the original point of fire was gone. However, the explosion continued, and the earth shook as a result of the explosion, and it seemed that it had no intention of stopping immediately
"Damn, what the hell did I hit?" Looking at the completely different situation in training, Lu Heng was stunned.
"Squat, squat." Haili shouted loudly, wandering around the strongholds of each group, not hesitating to use force to wake up the soldiers in a daze. "The battle isn't over yet."
No wonder the fire is so good, and there is a makeshift ammunition depot underneath the feelings. Hai Li shook her head helplessly, losing the front-line ammunition depot, the enemy's firepower will be reduced, and the enemy will not go crazy and choose hand-to-hand combat. After all, the rifles used by the Federation have excellent firepower, and one base amount of ammunition can ensure that soldiers need six hours of high-intensity combat.
However, Haili did not expect that just after this explosion, the enemy took the initiative to retreat. This made Haili breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt unwilling.
"Communications officer, notify the second echelon to take over the defensive line." Hai Li, who became an officer after several years of front-line combat, still has a lot of self-control, clearly knows the strength of her subordinates, and does not blindly give the order to pursue. "The teams inspect the equipment to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. The injured person voluntarily reported to a medical officer. Second Lieutenant Li Luo, temporarily taking over the command of the troops. ā
After giving a serious follow-up order, Haili simply lay on the sand where bullets were flying not long ago. The intensity of this battle was not high, but there were too many new soldiers among his subordinates, and in just five minutes, for this group of newcomers, Hai Li's spirit reached unprecedented tension.
