Chapter 5: The Encounter (Part II)
About twenty minutes later.
A field locomotive came from the direction of the B-57 post, and it was Captain Aubrey and all the crew, including the communications corps Colin.
"How's it going?"
Before the locomotive could stop, Aubrey jumped out of the car and walked quickly in front of Robin.
"There's not much movement yet." Robin looked at Colin who was fiddling with electronic instruments in the locomotive, and asked curiously, "Why is Colin here?" ”
"We received an order from the battalion command to hold the other side for three hours. If we hadn't had Colin to contend with the other side's radar soldiers, we would all be blind. After Aubrey beckoned the team members to come around, he opened the three-dimensional topographic map, pointed to the red marked area in the topographic map, and said: "With the frontal defense capability of B-56 post, we can't hold them back for three hours, so before relying on B-57 post to start a frontal defensive battle, we must carry out a sneak attack to disrupt their offensive steps." ”
Speaking of which, Aubrey turned his gaze to Robin: "Robin, tell me about the defense of their camp. ”
"There are three Union Sentinels at the front of the camp, and I've found their blind spot if they haven't moved their positions yet. In the camp, their three combat teams guarded three directions, forming horns with each other, guarding the logistics support team in the middle. ”
"It seems that the regular army is coming...... Yarman glanced at Aubrey with some concern, looked at the time and said: "The federal army is obviously taking advantage of the fact that the defense area of our garrison is too large and the response capability is insufficient to implement signal blocking, trying to take advantage of our negligence to sneak into the defense area we are stationing. But with this tactic, they usually don't have more than an hour to recuperate. Once they're done resting and the signal shielding is removed and the radar is activated, we're immediately exposed to their eyes. So, there's not much time left for us to make a decision. ”
"yes...... It seems that the frequent harassment of the small units of the Federal Army some time ago is testing us, and they have accurately grasped our specific strength. Aubrey looked at the sky worriedly: "The Federation Army has captured the weakness of our rear guards, and they are planning to avoid the frontal battlefield and prepare to use the tactics of sneak attacks on the rear to destroy the logistics of our main force. If we do let them get through the defense zone where our B-57 post is located before the battalion headquarters can respond in time, we may face a major defeat on Charon. ”
"I have to fight...... "Yarman sighed, he already knew what Aubrey had decided.
"Don't be so pessimistic, my old friend." Aubrey grabbed Yarman's shoulder and laughed, "Thankfully, they chose our B-57 post, and thanks to our little Robin spotting them in time, we still have a chance to kill them." ”
Speaking of this, Aubrey's eyes hidden behind the goggles suddenly turned fierce: "Avenge Arthur!" ”
At the same time as Aubrey shouted the word 'revenge', Robin suddenly found that the atmosphere had changed, and a terrifying murderous aura permeated the crowd, which made Robin feel for the first time that his comrades around him were so terrible.
"Bart Jr., Yarman, Lee. The three of you are responsible for pulling out each other's sentinels. Aubrey quickly gave the battle order, and then, he turned his head to look at Robin: "Robin, is the other party's 'knight' wearing armor?" ”
The 'knights' Aubrey was referring to were the hoplites equipped with heavy infantry armor. Due to the huge burden of heavy infantry armor on soldiers, most soldiers, except for a very small number of elite units, could not use this heavy equipment for long periods of time. As a result, this detachable external armor is usually armed only in wartime, and is disassembled for storage in peacetime. And the characteristics of this combat mode and heavy infantry armor are very similar to the heavy knights in the Western Middle Ages, and the heavy infantry armor is also jokingly called 'knight', and the light infantry that fights with 'knight' is jokingly called 'Hu Servant'.
"One is in combat shape, while the other five are resting." Robin quickly recalled what he had seen during the reconnaissance, but then added, "This was twenty minutes ago." ”
"It's hard enough to have one, huh...... If only my one were still there......" Aubrey sighed and gritted his teeth, "Big Bart, you and I are in charge of the frontal raid." Robin, protect Colin, and if you have the chance, take out the other party's radar soldiers. ”
"Yes." Robin accepted the order with mixed feelings.
He knew that Aubrey was deliberately protecting him, after all, most rookies would die in the first battle, and although Robin was already outrageously strong among the recruits, in terms of experience and psychological quality, after all, he was not as good as Aubrey, a veteran who had fought all year round, so Aubrey placed Robin in a relatively safe position, hoping that Robin could survive this dangerous battle.
In this regard, Robin was grateful, but also a little depressed, and he was eager to prove himself. He doesn't want to be a rookie who needs to be protected, he wants to get his own honor in a dignified manner.
"Don't worry, you'll soon learn that protecting me won't be easy." As if he had guessed his thoughts, Colin smiled at him and continued to fiddle with the electronic device in his hand.
"Let's go and surprise them." Aubrey pulled the bolt of the gun hard, and after making a tactical gesture, the vanguard formed by Li and the three of them immediately disappeared into the stone forest, and disappeared in an instant.
The battle began.
As Aubrey and Big Bart avoided the outlying sentinels and cut into the Federalist-controlled area, Robin suddenly felt a little nervous and couldn't breathe, and he clutched the MX8 assault rifle in his hand, trying to get the security he needed from it.
"It's our turn."
Colin, who had never left the locomotive, suddenly picked up the portable radar, pulled out two pistols and jumped out of the locomotive: "The battle that belongs to us has begun, I have removed their signal shielding and interfered with their radar. However, this time can only last a maximum of five minutes, and now, the game of hide and seek begins. ”
"Radar warfare?"
Robin immediately understood what Colin meant, and what he had learned in the training camp quickly came to his mind.
Radar warfare, which is a type of warfare aimed at destroying the enemy's communications and exploration capabilities. On the battlefield of the new era, this kind of electronic warfare is used on a large scale. For example, the signal shielding used by the Federation at the beginning, this signal shielding for the purpose of cover acts on both sides, so when the signal is shielded, both sides will lose all communication and exploration capabilities. After Colin cracked the signal shield released by the Federal Army, the communication and radar reconnaissance of the two sides would immediately return to normal, but Colin, who was one step ahead, had already released an electronic attack at the first time, destroying the radar signal of the Federal Army, so in the few minutes before the Federal Army's radar troops launched a counterattack, Aubrey will gain a huge advantage in communication capabilities and intelligence against the enemy.
"Let's go, we've got to keep a certain distance from Aubrey and them."
Colin and Robin slowly entered the war zone following the route they had set out when they laid out their tactics.
The radar used by Colin is a miniature radar that is standard with the team, so its capabilities are limited, and it can only keep its own signal open within a certain range while sending out jamming signals. This makes it impossible for him to be too far away from the combat troops as a communications soldier, and at the same time, if he goes deep into the war zone, he will be the first target of the Federation Army, which will be the first to react, and at that time, Robin, who is responsible for protecting him, will be under tremendous pressure.
Now, less than thirty seconds before the start of the battle, Robin was slowly advancing through the stone forest as he protected Colin when he suddenly heard a dull gunshot from a sniper rifle.
Robin looked up nervously, only to see a black shadow in the distance suddenly fall from a height, and on the other side, a black shadow far away from him quickly disappeared in place. Then, a fierce gunfight like fried beans began......
