Chapter 64: Dignity

The fire tower is one of the most representative special vehicles in auxiliary equipment, known as the model of the first generation of armored fortresses, and the first to use the variant mode, a total of two forms: the advance and the fortress. In the marching form, the fire tower is a super tank with a total weight of nearly 150 tons, 60 meters long, 20 meters wide, 8 meters high, tracked propulsion, frontal armor thickness of 70 cm, equipped with 3 120 mm marching guns, 8 machine gun positions, 2 groups of low-altitude missile launchers, and 13 combatants. In the form of a fortress, the firepower tower will be expanded to form a three-story turret 60 meters long, 37 meters wide, and 15 meters high, greatly increasing the firepower. In addition to 3 marching main guns and 2 groups of missile launchers, there are 2 220 mm caliber medium-range guns and 1 380 mm caliber long-range heavy artillery. The fire tower is not a special vehicle designed for capable people, and its purpose is to supplement the lack of positional warfare and defense capabilities of Pegasus. The Floating Legion is also equipped with a firepower tower, and due to the characteristics of the legion and the cost of the legion, the number of units is only half of the Bergasus standard.

—"The Battle of Mortals", IC158, DonoJulian

The officer's salon of the command vehicle is set up at the back of the vehicle, which is not large, but it is better to be quiet and comfortable. After the assault begins, all capable people rest here, this is their combat readiness position, and their combat readiness task is to rest.

Fenice was also there, because before the command car was launched, she could only share a command platform with Qian Ling, and in order not to interfere with his command, Fenice chose to avoid it. Qian Ling can also be regarded as a reciprocat, every battlefield change will be handed over to her, and she will never miss it.

Now that the information about the enemy's whereabouts was on Fenix's desk, she frowned, and seemed a little difficult to decide.

"Aunt Fei?" Curran handed over a cup of black tea.

"Pegasus was attacked, and the losses were not small." Fenicex sighed and took the tea. Although she was the one who formulated the tactics, she was not sure that Bergasus would be able to take on the responsibility.

"Do you want support?" Curran asked.

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." Fenix shook her head, "Qian Ling didn't mention the support, and ......"

"You're afraid we won't be able to hold it up." Curran smiled, "I don't know whose handiwork, it's almost a war." ”

"It may take a long time, not to mention that it's not just your problem." Fenices smiled wryly.

"Have any other questions?" Curran was surprised.

"Ofh, you're smart, but it's a pity that you've been influenced too deeply by Prody." Fenix patted Curran's hand, "Actually...... Forget it, someone better suited than me to explain it to you. "She laughed when she saw Curran confused, like a girl who had succeeded in mischievous," Xiaoyun said. ”

"Huh?" Mo Liyun was sleeping, wrapped in a combat uniform and leaning on the sofa, so that he might not be able to sleep, but at least he could recuperate.

Fenix recounted the situation, not avoiding anyone.

"Let's help!" Mo'er and Qin Yu actually replied at the same time, these two are not masters who think too much, firstly, they are so active and idle, and secondly, Bergasus is not an outsider, so they can help.

"It's better not to." The stinky boy pouted, leaving no emotion at all.

"Xiao Yun!"

"Idiot boy, you can't save you when you die!"

"If you want to help, they don't necessarily appreciate it." Mo Liyun's voice lowered, "Father told me before that soldiers in this era are pathetic, so they are extremely sensitive. ”

……

The losses of Pegasus continue to expand. Not every staff officer, like Lewis, was able to mobilize fire towers in time to support the squad under his command. Purely against the knights and cougars, the warriors of Bergasus can still occupy a certain advantage, but 8 sphinxes have hatched, and the battle damage continues to increase, and the advantage is lost little by little. Because from time to time scattered enemies rushed through the defensive line, the convoy had completely stopped.

"19 staff officers report, complete the area clearance, request to return the wounded!"

Just when Qian Ling was at a loss for more and more sphinxes, Xiao Liu's report fell from the sky, which was like a heavenly sound.

"Done? 19 seats seems to be the tactical staff of the 4th regiment, right? Qian Ling asked uncertainly.

"35 companies, 1 platoon, 1 shift." The adjutant confirmed softly.

"Confirm immediately, whether to exterminate or force back!" Qian Ling ordered.

"It was confirmed, it was extermination, successively killing knights and mounts, and finally guiding the fire tower, eliminating the hatching Sphinx. Three soldiers in the class were slightly injured and no serious injuries. ”

"Fire Tower?" Qian Ling was stunned for a moment, "Agree to return and bring them to see me immediately, including the staff officers!" ”

……

This is the first time Ye Mazi and they have seen the true face of Staff Officer Xiao Liu. Lewis, a fair, handsome Caucasian young man with short blond hair and a grim look on his face, Chitu felt like he had seen a blonde version of Souler.

"Staff Officer Xiao Liu?" Ye Mazi asked uncertainly. Since the high-temperature grenade landed, Ye Mazi has completely accepted this tactical staff officer, for Bergasus, an excellent tactical staff officer is equivalent to the double insurance of life and results, not to mention that the staff officer himself is the eighth member of a squad, from the moment the combination is formed, there are no accidents, and it will not be replaced, which is also to better play the combat ability of a squad.

"Dirk. Lewis. Staff Officer Xiao Liu didn't laugh, but at least stretched out his right hand, Ye Mazi felt that this was an expression of goodwill, and hurriedly responded.

It's a pity that before the hand touched, the goodwill was ruthlessly broken by the party, "I ask you to return to your place." Now it's a meeting summoned by the commander, not a meeting of comrades-in-arms, so please respect yourself. ”

I don't know why, Chitu feels that Staff Officer Xiao Liu is more similar to Su Le.

Qian Ling didn't let everyone wait too long, and the head of the regiment quickly walked into the reception room with his adjutant.

"I'm Qian Ling." There was no greeting, Qian Ling went straight to the front, "The front line is tense, and we have suffered great losses." I need your intelligence and advice, to make a long story short. ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Xiao Liu spoke before Ye Mazi, "First, small-caliber rifle cartridges are ineffective against indigenous lives, and it is recommended that all large-caliber pistols be used; Second, the indigenous life did not have any vital signs, the thermal induction was ineffective, and the optical monitoring was effective; Third, it takes time for indigenous life to integrate and evolve, and we have delayed it for 45 seconds and have not yet completed the hatching; Fourth, the high-heat howitzer is effective against unhatched sphinxes and can be killed directly, but it is estimated that it will have a limited effect on the formed natives. Report complete! ”

Qian Ling glanced at the young Lewis in surprise. Is this good at figuring out the upper hand? Or did you really find a treasure? Anyway, there was still time, and Qian Ling decided to list Staff Officer Xiao Liu as a key object of observation.

"You're a 19-seat staff officer?"

"Dirk. Lewis, the current tactical staff officer of the 35th Company, 1st Platoon, 1st Squad! Staff Officer Xiao Liu's voice was neither happy nor sad, and he stood straight.

"Which is the squad leader?" Qian Ling didn't say anything, just twisted her head in the direction of the others.

"Sergeant Ye Jian, the platoon commander of the 35th Company and the 1st Platoon, reports to you!" Ye Mazi is a veteran, and veterans are definitely ruffians when they should be ruffians, and they are right when they should be.

"You're a front-line commander, do you have anything to add?"

"Huh?" Ye Mazi was dumbfounded, no wonder Xiao Liu's little bastard asked him to report everything on the way back, now what else could he add, "That, they are very hard, it hurts to hammer with bare fists......"

……

With the addition of high-temperature grenades, the clearing speed suddenly increased, and the convoy was able to restart. Lewis's judgment proved to be accurate, and the most effective time for high-temperature grenades is the incubation period, and the other times are of limited use.

Especially when it comes to hitting the Sphinx, the speed of the second-order martial artist level is not at all the same as a grenade with a slow initial velocity and a limited killing range, and the enemies that have completed hatching still need to be dealt with by the front line themselves.

Ye Mazi's team made a great contribution and was allowed to repair it, and the location was on the roof of a field ambulance, because the scholar was treating the wound below.

It should have been a happy thing to be able to rest after a tense battle, but Chitu and the others were eager to kill one or two knights as quickly as possible to free them from their current situation.

Staff Officer Xiao Liu sat on the roof of the car, looking at the forest in the distance with his hands and knees, now he is not like a soldier, but like a somewhat introverted student, very quiet.

This should be a painting with great appreciation, after all, Staff Officer Xiao Liu is very handsome and young, as long as there is no Ye Mazi in the picture. The veteran Ye Mazi was like a tasteless gangster, tilting his upper body and pouting his eyes and squinting, condemning his tactical staff officer, silent, like a fly stuck to the paint.

"The quality of the warrior is really good." Staff Officer Xiao Liu spoke, he was not cold, and he was very emotional, so that people could easily tell that he was envious, "You can also stand in such a bumpy car." ”

"Huh?" Ye Mazi didn't react, and almost flashed to his waist.

"I have no intention of stealing credit. Martial arts are not easy, I just hope to die a few. Staff Officer Xiao Liu glanced at Ye Mazi, such an obvious dissatisfaction was all written on the face of the pockmarked son, it was not difficult to guess, "And your words are a bit much." ”

"I'll ......"

"Enemy attack!" Another knight rushed in from the outer circle, interrupting Ye Mazi's words just right. It rode on the cougar, dodging machine gun bullets at a gallop, and rushed to the vicinity of the vehicle where Ye Mazi and them were resting, perhaps finding the only group of fighters exposed, it turned and pounced without hesitation.

The soldiers quickly got up, Ye Mazi subconsciously raised the assault rifle, and the voice of Staff Officer Xiao Liu came from his ears: "With a pistol!" ”

Abandon the gun and pull out the gun, Ye Mazi's actions are done in one go, boom! The 7.62 mm caliber round-headed bullet had a wonderful stopping performance, and it hit the cougar's forehead, actually stopping such a metal monster directly from mid-air.

Swish! The other warriors on the roof of the car threw themselves out of the car like the wind, Lao Bu's knife and Chitu's spear were the fastest, one slashed at the knight's spear body, knocking the knight down the war lion, and the other stabbed directly into the lion's eye, and the whole spear head pierced in.

This is not fatal damage to the all-metal guma with guts, but Chitu roared, his muscles bulged, and he picked the cougar up and hit the fat brother's horse chopper, and the fat brother volleyed straight into the air, and neatly split the trophy in half.

Staff Officer Xiao Liu also pulled out his pistol and stood up, but the field ambulance happened to be upside down, his feet were weak, and he almost slipped off the front of the car, but fortunately, Ye Mazi was quick and helped him.

"You're so weak?" Ye Mazi was surprised. It stands to reason that to be able to join Bergasus, even the civilian soldiers of the auxiliaries and the general staff, their combat skills are very good, and the female soldiers are no exception, and bumps like the one just now are not enough to upset the balance of Bergasus.

"Two years ago, the martial artist failed to operate, and he had mild muscle weakness." Staff Officer Xiao Liu didn't try to shake off Ye Mazi's hand, and he couldn't shake it off anyway, "So I know it's not easy to be a martial artist." Now let go and try to catch it alive, it will definitely work! ”

"Cut!" Ye Mazi grinned, and his previous suspicions were gone, "You use your brain, I do it, happy cooperation!" With that, an eagle struck and pounced.

The battle went well, the individual strength was similar, it was 6 to 1, there was no suspense about winning or losing, but the live mouth couldn't catch it in the end, the knight saw that there was no way to escape, so he directly pounced on the corpse of the mount and forcibly fused, and was burned to ashes before it could hatch.

The battle on the periphery also entered the final stage, several sphinxes were killed by the Bergassos, completely announcing the failure of the first wave of the natives' offensive, the second wave of the offensive did not appear for a long time, the convoy moved forward steadily, and in the 22nd minute of entering the island, at 4:53 p.m. on December 29, IC63, the Maori convoy arrived at the designated position.
