Chapter 271: Good Days Down
The same tactics - using chariots to open the way and respond, Lu Yuan and Poison Island Tsunza wielded cold weapons to guard the two wings, the commandos followed, and H7N9 was broken...... It's just that the lack of Tully's electromagnetic suppression and hacker technical support made the entire breakthrough process suddenly difficult by three points.
However, the Lu team eventually reached their goal and took over the town's overall defenses.
It is a small town built on the edge of a river, with water on one side and forest on the other, both of which are terrain that is not conducive to the geth.
The town of interstellar colonization is, of course, the same as the town of the 21st century. In the pangalactic era, colonial towns usually have two states – the first is the container model. The restaurant is connected by several containers, the square is surrounded by more containers, and so on...... In short, the final constituent units of a strange building are all standard containers; The second is the high-rise model, which represents the colony leaving the stage of land reclamation and entering a state of maturity and starting to build its own landmark buildings.
The general state of Eden is in the state of transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2. As a result, most of the colonial towns, especially near the capital, were built in a mix of container buildings and high-rise buildings.
Therefore, according to the topography of the town, after careful calculations, the Lu team blasted two high-rise buildings one after another. Fallen buildings were used to form a temporary "wall", and the section of the town that needed to be defended was abruptly tightened to a length of about 200 meters. Lu Yuan's team choked this throat and blocked the mountains and seas of geth groups on the outskirts of the town!
"Colonel, we've arrived in Oak Town! The first phase of entrenchment is underway. "Opened the communication of the multi-tool. Leaning on an alloy storage box, Lu Yuan reported to Colonel McHarovich while shooting.
"It's four minutes late, if there is any problem, you can report it! I'll figure it out......" Colonel McHalovich said on screen when he said this. He stood up straight, and his tone was quite sincere.
Lu Yuan looked behind him-
Another chariot had its wheels blown up, and it would not be able to follow the land team in the future, so it would have to stay in the colony as a fixed battery; The ammunition reserve of vehicle-mounted weapons was already less than a tenth (the heat sink rods of vehicle-mounted weapons were different from those of small arms), and they had to be fired sparingly; The team counted Amon and lost three again...... It is important to note that the state of the colonists was extremely poor...... Or rather. They have been crushed.
I heard that the commander who had been commanding them all along, a young man named Jack, had been killed, and the militia had formed spontaneously. I'm afraid it's a big blow!
They look more tired and dazed than the inhabitants of other towns...... When the Lu team intervenes between them and the geth, after receiving the geth's attack. The colonists did not even begin to collect ammunition and prepare for a counterattack. They just sat casually in the square behind the battle line, silent. Perhaps it was because of the large number of casualties and the long fighting that they entered the second stage of the recruit battlefield syndrome in advance - excessive frustration. The director loses confidence in victory. At the same time, the body and mind fall into a state of exhaustion and numbness......
Lu Yuan saw Nan Lixiang put down his weapon and stood in the middle of the square, talking loudly to the local militiamen......
He smiled and said to the channel, "One qiē is normal, Colonel." No questions asked! ”
Of course it's not really without problems, it's just ...... Don't look at Colonel McHarovich in front of the camera, looking confident! In fact, Lu Yuan knew more about Eden's family than him. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so there are 200 garrisons and less than 1,000 policemen scattered throughout the city. With such a small amount of armed forces at hand, what can a colonel do?! Even if Lu Yuan buried countless backhands in advance. But in front of tens of millions of gesturers, no amount of weapons is enough!
Just half an hour ago, Lu Yuan knew that the first batch of missiles had been launched. At this point, the missile reserves were completely depleted, and all the missile silos were converted into temporary shelters for residents; Although the 100+ laser towers were still unscathed, due to the lack of electricity, these Type 4 laser towers also had to enter a state of restricted fire...... It is estimated that now Speaker Yang Hou should regret it so much that he wants to hit the wall?! At the beginning, Lu Yuan proposed to build two more fusion power stations, but he vetoed them without hesitation.
Now Colonel McHarovich can still play the cards, only the 450 heavy howitzers, which are already being sent out in batches. The number of shells is also limited, and every time it is fired, it can give Yang Hou a heart attack......
But it was with this not-so-good combination that Colonel McHarovich's future geth was reduced from 12 million to less than 4 million today! The many geth troop carriers that were destroyed in the wilderness were all his achievements. It can be said that the colonel has done his best to maximize the effect of the few cards in his hand, and Lu Yuan really doesn't want to add to the burden on him.
Anyway, it's also a prospective father-in-law......
The two of them used holographic communication, and Lu Yuan saw McHalovich's unkempt hair, sweat-stained and dry military uniform; Of course, the colonel also saw the gunsmoke on Lu Yuan's face, the tattered armor, and the crumbling bunkers around him.
"That's it! I'm waiting for your signal. The two men tacitly glanced at each other through the communicator, and each understood the other's situation. …… The fastest reinforcements will arrive in six hours...... It's true! With that, the colonel saluted and hung up the communication.
"I wish he were my soldier!" Colonel McHalovich said with emotion in front of the pitch-black screen.
*****
The reason why I want to emphasize that the "news about reinforcements" is true is, of course, because in order to boost morale, the colonel has already released news of reinforcements many times before......
"If you're still men, stand up! See that behind that? It's your home! And the geths, they have no feelings! There is no mercy! There are no material needs either! They will kill every creature they see, burn every building in sight, and destroy all food and supplies! Until the planet is in ruins! ”
Lu Yuan saw that Nan Lixiang was shouting with all her might, but not many people listened to her.
Although Minami Sayaka has worked as a county police officer, she is a sniper of the SWAT team, not an ordinary police officer. She rarely has the opportunity to deal with ordinary people, let alone do the kind of work such as mobilization. What's more, Nan Lixiang herself is a hot temper...... In the past, Lu Yuan was responsible for the mobilization of the masses, but this time Nan Lixiang took the initiative to take on this work, but when she stood in the middle of this group of people, she knew how difficult it was!
She had just spoken a few words, and she was enraged by the appearance of those people with numb expressions, sloppy eyes, and guns thrown aside, and she couldn't help but be angry! "Pick up your gun!" Minami Satoka was furious and walked over to a guy who was sitting on a gun as a cushion!
"Ma'am!" A man with a sniper rifle stood up and stood in front of her, "Thank you so much for coming to our rescue!" But please understand...... You don't have the right to force these people to pick up guns again. ”
"However, not fighting is the same as waiting for death!" Minami Rika shouted with a glare. "We have another location to rescue, and we can't protect you all the time......"
"It's okay, by then...... Just leave. The man smiled, and he was very free. We fought, but we just couldn't win! Speaking of which...... We are just ordinary civilians......" His words caused many whispers of approval around him. "This battle has cost us a lot of sacrifices! It's all our loved ones... Friend... Neighbor... We really can't hold it anymore, ma'am! ”
A young girl ran over crying and threw herself into his arms. The man clasped her arms tight, guarding her cheeks in his arms. After a short while, he continued to say to Minami Rika, "Her father, my father...... Oh, God! I really don't want to say that! Thank you for your support, and if you can, at last time, I would like to share it with my loved ones...... Thank you. ”
Overwhelmed by what he said, Minami Sayaka left the square in a daze.
She saw the man hug the weeping girl tightly and sit on the sidelines again. In the crowd, there were even some cheering voices, "Well said, Harry! "That's it, Harry. "I also want to spend some time with my family. ”…… Looks like he's still a celebrity?!
Nan Lixiang could only drop her hand angrily in the end, and said with some hatred. "If you can't even shoot the geth in the head, then I really don't have anything to say!"
Lu Yuan shook his head, it seems that Nan Lixiang is not suitable for this kind of work. Although even if he goes out in person, the chance of success in direct persuasion is no more than one-third...... But he certainly will not further exacerbate the contradictions.
So the problem is, if Lu Yuan's persuasion success rate is only one-third...... So how did the remaining two-thirds come from?
You must know that so far, Lu Yuan has succeeded in boosting the morale of the local residents every time, and it never takes more than fifteen minutes! This is the secret of their high efficiency and success.
But Lu Yuan is not a mouth cannon expert like Sister Xue, and he can make the big boss commit suicide one after another! Besides, he doesn't have that much time and patience. Then there are only effective and effective means left to choose - naturally there is only "heroism"! A large-scale spell went down, and the morale of all the residents exploded in an instant!
Don't think it's inhumane, morale-boosting words are actually a means of manipulating people's hearts, but it looks more like "the people's own choice", and there is no magic so demonizing.
So he didn't have much resentment about Nan Rixiang messing up this step...... For the time being, it is important to repel this wave of geth attacks.
At this time, Lu Yuan's communication channel suddenly sounded - "Captain, I'm back!" He heard Tali say this, her voice a little deeper. Lu Yuan stood up and saw Tully carrying a little girl on her back, climbing over the rubble of the building. (To be continued......)
