Chapter 105: Heaven, Earth, and Earth (4)
There was something wrong with the update of Hanzhang last night.,It's not willing to change at noon today.,The missing 800 words can be looked back at.。
The Blade Brigade's positions were in shambles, full of burning flames, wounded and wailing soldiers and evolutionaries.
The nine birdmen combined to strike a blow, releasing thousands of blue flames, giving the Knife Brigade a fierce blow. Under the attack of thousands of flames, there were only more than 200 people who were directly hit, and the source power flames were extremely vicious, and the middle of them were either dead or maimed. But the damage was even greater due to the detonation of several ammunition trucks, which killed far more soldiers and evolutionaries than the number of casualties killed by the direct hit by the blue flames.
The Knife Brigade suffered heavy losses, and the Birdmen also paid a huge price. All eight fourth-class birdmen died from anti-aircraft missile attacks or direct fire from anti-aircraft guns. The only birdman who escaped was now certain that he was a fifth-level birdman. Because in the previous missile attack, Lin Feng sensed that there was once a missile that locked on his **, but when it was still about five meters away from his body, the source force shield of the birdman's body changed shape, and a "tentacle" several meters long stretched out to draw the missile like a whip and detonate it in advance.
The shaped warhead of the anti-aircraft missile cannot directly hit the birdman's body, because of the characteristics of the source force cover, it naturally cannot cause effective damage to it.
Mastering the morphological changes of the source force is exactly the unique sign of a fifth-level awakener.
When Lin Feng tried his best to deal with the fire rain attack, Zhao Qingfeng and Zhu Ming still didn't stop. They had been instructed by Lin Ban in advance to operate two twin anti-aircraft guns with inter-millimeter anti-aircraft guns that kept biting the bird and firing non-stop. It was quite not easy to hit him in more than 10 seconds, with more than 20 blade-millimeter shells fired from the ground and directly hitting the birdman flying at subsonic speed at an altitude of 3,000. However, due to the lack of kinetic energy and penetration, these attacks could not cause any damage to the level 5 birds at all.
When the anti-aircraft shell hit the body of the fifth-level birdman, Lin Feng specially paid attention to the defense of his body, and even discovered the secret of the fifth-level awakened person's energy utilization method.
The source force shield protection on the fourth-level awakened person is actually a comprehensive passive protection, from head to toe, the protection power of each position is the same.
However, the source force shield protection of the fifth-level awakened person is a local active protection. Normally, the body circumference of a Level 5 Awakened is the same as that of a Level 4 Awakener. It is only wrapped in an extremely thin layer of source force shield for vigilance protection, but the difference is that when subjected to external attacks, the fourth-level awakened person is automatically and comprehensively enhanced by the protection of the whole body, while the fifth-level awakened person is the "source power" spontaneously flowing to the attacked part, resulting in an explosive increase in the protection power there. This method of local focused defense is obviously superior to comprehensive protection, and the upper limit of protection it can withstand is also larger.
When the fifth-level birdman was pulled to an altitude of five thousand meters, the anti-aircraft fire on the ground could no longer pose much threat to it. Affected by gravity, small-caliber rapid-fire guns do not have enough range and even less power. The large-caliber four-millimeter anti-aircraft gun, although the range is sufficient, but after a distance of five thousand meters weakened, there is little remaining kinetic energy, not to mention that at a relatively thin air of five thousand meters of altitude, the maximum flight speed of the fifth-level birdman easily breaks through the sound barrier. As for man-portable anti-air missiles, the altitude of 5,000 meters is already outside their range, and they can only sigh at this time.
The next two minutes were the most depressed for all the officers and men of the Knife Brigade. The only birdman in the sky fled either dead in battle, relying on the height advantage to continuously attack at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. Cast "Four Meteor Showers" in a row
Although the ultimate move cast by a birdman was not as spectacular and powerful as the previous group attack, every time more than a thousand blue-white fireballs fell from the sky, they still brought a lot of damage to the knife brigade in the unobstructed open space. During this period, the air defense forces launched two medium-range surface-to-air missiles, but the effect was not as good as the previous man-portable air defense missiles, and the fifth-level birdman made several flexible maneuvers in the air, and easily compared with the previous infrared guidance or radar guidance, the locking effect of television guidance was extremely poor, and it was easy to get rid of it.
When the fifth-level birdman finally withdrew from the battlefield, it was not out of fear, but because he was "tired" after casting the skill, the fifth-level birdman shook his wings and withdrew from the battlefield unscathed.
All the surviving officers and soldiers of the Sword Brigade watched the black dot in the sky fly away, but they were all helpless.
"If only I had wings, I could fly!" Looking at the fifth-level birdman in the distance, Lin Ban sighed softly in his heart, he didn't like this feeling of frustration very much. Compared to the Awakened, the evolutionary speed is too slow, and it is not even as good as these semi-awakened people around them.
The Birdmen retreated, and the battlefield was in shambles. In the previous few minutes of confrontation, the heaviest losses were the air defense forces, and what was even more heart-wrenching was that a total of six shooting type Seven Cultivators had been killed in battle, and one shooting type evolver was the indispensable main trump card to deal with the fourth-level awakened ones. The damage report was quickly counted and transmitted to Ouyang Hua in the rear.
Brigade Commander Shi Lei added a sentence at the end of the report: When will the reinforcements arrive? In this battle with the birdmen, a total of 270 people in the Knife Brigade were killed, including 18 evolutionary people, and nearly 400 wounded, and a considerable number of them will face the fate of amputation and cripplement.
In response to him, there was still an unquestionable military order: after regrouping the troops, immediately launch an attack on Changtai, and be sure to take Changtai before dark. As for reinforcements, the reply from headquarters was still "coming".
As a small" deputy battalion commander, Lin Ban is not qualified to bargain with high-ranking officials in the rear at this moment. He could only stay in his own unit, while checking on the wounded and performing the duties of a battalion commander, and on the other hand, taking advantage of this gap to connect with his comrades, teach them how to use superpowers, and at the same time summarize the experience and lessons of previous battles with the birdmen.
In the previous open-field confrontation with the Birdman, both sides suffered heavy losses. In the face of the birdmen, the human side has a numerical advantage, but most of the evolutionaries can only stare dryly, and the half-awakened troops who have high hopes can only watch the excitement by playing "soy sauce" on the side. In the previous Birdmen's air raids, only two of the 151 half-awakened were wounded by shrapnel from the detonated ammunition, and the rest were miraculously unscathed.
"Goo, Brother Lin, I think I'm useless"
Yuan Chuyu had been trying hard to stand upright, following closely by Lin Feng's side. Ever since he saw Lin Ban, Yuan Chuyu had been in a strange state of excitement.
"This tactic of the birdman, we can't fly
Lin Ban patted her on the shoulder and said she didn't need to pay too much attention. Compared to the other troops, Lin Feng's Evolutionary Battalion was the least lost. Only two Evolvers were killed and several wounded.
On the other side, Niu Qi has been secretly staring at Yuan Chuyu with his eyes, the same as Yuan Chuyu, Niu Qi is also a semi-awakened person in the form of a cat humanoid.
A semi-awakened person in the form of a snake asked flatteringly, his name was Fan Wei.
"Boss Niu, what are you looking at?" "That catwoman,
"What's wrong?"
"Herd"
At this moment, Lin Ban, who was chatting with Yuan Chuyu, suddenly turned his head and glanced at Niu Qi from a distance of more than forty meters, so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head.
The six semi-awakened people led by Niu Qi were not from regular military backgrounds, and before the disaster of the awakened people, their profession was chengguan. Before they put on their uniforms and became chengguan, most of them were street gangsters.
After the Awakened disaster, Niu Qi fled in panic like many ordinary people. Similar to Chen Ming and Xie Yi, although they escaped from the city infested by the Awakened early, they were unlucky not to encounter the army. After more than ten days of hard work, he finally ran out of luck and was infected by the awakened, and finally his body mutated into a semi-awakened person. Later, when the army began a large-scale lawn mowing operation, a reconnaissance unit discovered them and brought them back to Tianhe City.
Although Niu Qi was born as a gangster, he also has some cleverness and knows how to deal with the next situation. Under his confession, he and his six "brothers" have been "performing" well, and finally successfully passed the "examination" and were free to join the army.
What about the future? Niu Qi also had some vague thoughts in his heart. It's just that he feels that his own power is great, and whether he wants to take this opportunity to get rid of his brain and leave the army, he has been wavering in his heart.
Lin Feng, who was talking to Yuan Chuyu, suddenly felt that the octopone hormone of the people around him was rising, and he habitually looked towards the "birthplace" in surprise, but saw Niu Qi at a glance. His eyes also frightened the half-awakened man to lower his head and put away the lust that had just risen.
On his side, another earthworm half-awakened person named Kong Yuan also said flatteringly: "Boss Niu." Do you have a crush on that catwoman? ”
This half-awakened person named Kong Chen was the one who had burrowed into the soil earlier.
"Shut up, call it so loud!"
Niu Qi was so angry that he almost wanted to slap the "little brother" in front of him to death, although the voice of the "little brother" Confucius was not high, it would not be heard by people nearby in the old era. But after the "door" is opened, this volume is already considered "high-pitched" in the ears of the Evolver or the Semi-Awakened
After the "door" was opened, it brought to the world the existence of the awakened, the semi-awakened, and the evolutionary whose personal abilities far exceeded those of the old era, and at the same time, these transcendent mortal existences brought many problems: one has stronger abilities and stronger powers, which means that it is necessary to use new "living habits" to deal with it.
The simplest example is talking.
Evolvers, semi-awakens, and awakened people generally have excellent hearing, but the "low voice" of the old world is already considered a high pitch in their "ears". To paraphrase Lin Feng's words: In this era, even lying has become a difficult "technical job".
After drinking the "pig-like teammate" on the side, Niu Qi also closed his mouth. Humans don't trust the half-awakened, and he's seen that for a long time. He was finally released from the cage, and he didn't want to go back right away.
What's next?
Niu Qi hasn't thought about it yet. But one thing is certain, that is, he absolutely does not want to be cannon fodder for "mankind", and he definitely does not want to work for "mankind" in vain.
After the birdmen withdrew, it took thirty minutes for the Knife Brigade to reorganize its troops and continue to carry out the task of attacking Changtai Town.
Compared to the previous tragic battle with the birdman, the task of taking Changtai was much easier than everyone imagined.
When the 77th Brigade and the Birdmen opened fire fiercely at each other, a group of awakened people hiding in Changtai Town heard the sound of cannons, and took the initiative to leave the city like frightened birds, and within a few minutes, the awakened people in the whole city fled cleanly, and their cowardly performance was in stark contrast to the same kind that followed the sword brigade behind them.
As for the earthworms who frantically dig holes and traps in the ground at the entrance to the town, their self-righteous cleverness gives the military the easiest chance to eliminate them.
After Lin Ban pointed out their location with his senses, under the radio guidance of the ground forces, four bombers flew over a few minutes later, dropping eight two-ton heavy ground-penetrating bombs
Among the earthworm people hiding underground, there are a total of four fourth-level awakened people, and if they are in an open place on the ground, the power of the heavy bomb is greatly limited, and it is difficult to really hurt them. However, hiding underground and being directly hit by a ground-penetrating bomb, the enclosed environment doubles the power of the bomb.
The four-headed fourth-level earthworm man didn't even have a chance to get out of the ground and roar, but was killed on the spot after being "squeezed through" by the shock wave of the heavy bomb and shattering the "source force cover". The originally planned fierce battle did not take place, and less than half an hour after the plane bombed, the town of Changtai was completely occupied by the Knife Brigade.
Ironically, not an hour after the capture of Changtai, the reinforcements repeatedly requested by brigade commander Shi Lei finally arrived. A newly formed 15,000-strong integrated division came with all kinds of engineering equipment and building materials, and after merging with the knife brigade to reorganize the army, the knife brigade was upgraded to the first independent division, and the brigade commander Shi Lei was promoted to division commander, while Lin Feng was still in the position of deputy battalion commander.
The Knife Brigade is indeed an elite force, but more than eighty percent of the soldiers in this integrated division sent to join him were urgently recruited after the crisis of the Awakened. Although they also participated in the large-scale lawn mowing operation, shot guns, fired artillery, and had so-called "actual combat experience," their quality obviously cannot be compared with that of soldiers who have really received long-term training in the past.
Later, the knife division on the front line received an order from the rear to build fortifications on the spot, and Changtai must be transformed into a militarized fortress within 2 hours.
Of course, Lin Feng, the small battalion commander, had no way of knowing the true strategic intentions of the above.
But after a little thought, he easily saw Ni Duan from a series of orders from the military.
"Is this going to be the front line?"
"And we, are we going to be outcasts cannon fodder here?"
After realizing this, it was time for Lin Feng to speed up his preparations.
