Chapter 7: The Battle of the Outpost (II)

"These bunnies are going to surround us."

Seeing the Convoy of the Federal Army scribbling towards the two sides of the outpost, Aubrey snuffed out the cigarette butt vigorously, pointed to a heavy infantry armored plane that was stuck in front and yelled at Yarman, "Kill him, you have to let them know that it won't be so easy to trap us." ”

"Leave it to me."

Armed with heavy infantry armor, Yarman lifted his rapid-fire cannon and leapt out of his post, down the crater's slope, at the Federalist hoplite charged with pinning them down.

The Federation had intended to break through the line before the Republican Guard could react, and they were not prepared to waste too much time at B-57 post, so the commander in charge of the sneak attack was prepared to use the tactics of encircling but not attacking, using a heavy loader and several soldiers to pin down the Republic garrison at the outpost.

However, the commander of the Union Army clearly underestimated the combat effectiveness of the garrison inside post B-57. The Federal Army heavy loaders in charge of containment let out desperate cries for help in the communication channel just by seeing Yarman's lightning-fast running speed after wearing his uniform.

As if in a dying throes, the Union hoplites fired like crazy, while several Union light infantry who were in charge of covering quickly set up crane guns and set up defensive formations.

Bang~Bang~

As the fleeing Yarman flashed like a phantom, the 25 mm rapid-fire cannon in his right hand fired two bursts of light infantry protecting the right flank of the Union Army's hoppers.

The defensive capability of the folding shield of the light infantry system could not withstand the two bursts of rapid-fire guns at all. Almost at the same time as the gunfire rang out, a cloud of blood mist erupted from the upper body of the light infantry, and even the men and shields were blown in two.

In just two seconds, Yarman quickly closed the distance between himself and his opponent.

And when the Federation Army, which had already bypassed, turned back in panic to rescue, all they saw was blood on the ground, and halfway up the crater, Yarman dragged the demonic back of the slain heavily armed.

The Federalist commander had paid the price for his light enemy, believing that a single heavy loader would be enough to pin down the defenders at the outpost in exchange for the time he desperately needed. However, the truth told him that it took him less than a minute to lose a heavy loader.

His tactical predictions had completely failed, and now there were only two paths in front of him. Obediently withdrew from the defense area of the B-57 post and completely admitted the defeat of the operation. Or, do your best to capture this small outpost in front of you.

In the choice of retreat or battle, the Federation commander stubbornly chose the latter. He used the remaining four Federation Army reloaders to quickly list the attack arrows, while all the personnel, including the logistics support team, went into battle with their guns in order, ready to destroy the outpost that had destroyed their entire plan.

"These bunnies are going to fight hard!" Aubrey tugged the bolt of the heavy machine gun and stared murderously at the four heavy loaders that were slowly pressing up.

Rumble! ――

As soon as they entered the firing range, both sides attacked without hesitation.

Suddenly, the stray bullets in the sky intertwined a big net of death, and the two sides of the firefight became small fish desperately struggling in this net.

Glory, military merit, badge...... All of this seemed so insignificant in the dense rain of bullets, and the heart-wrenching images of the boy's fantasies were completely dismantled by stray bullets and shrapnel whizzing overhead. In the battlefield of life and death, every soldier in battle has only one purpose, to keep himself alive.

Kill or be killed, the choice was so simple for Robin, he desperately pulled the trigger, gritted his teeth and fired a rain of bullets at the four Federation Army heavies who were slowly advancing in a row with folding shields.

And what Aubrey did was no different from Robin, in this face-to-face firefight, whoever has more firepower and can break the opponent's defense first, then the winner is the winner.

"The bunnies are in a minefield, Bart, blow them up! ~”

Aubrey roared hoarsely with a heavy machine gun, and Bart immediately threw away the machine gun in his hand and pressed the guide button to detonate the mine.

A roar of shaking the earth and mountains exploded, and the scorching flame of the mine instantly ignited the solid methane ice on the surface of Charon, and the destructive force of the explosion almost blew the entire crater into the sky.

With such power, even the heavily armed could not resist them, and they were blown away like toys by the shockwave set off under their feet, while the light infantry hiding behind them were instantly swallowed by the raging flames.

Inevitably, the outpost that Robin was guarding also suffered the strong impact of the explosion. In the event of a massive collapse of the crater, an entire defensive wall inside the post collapsed, and it just so happened that the person standing in this machine-gun position was Robin.

Bart miscalculated the explosive force of methane ice on Charon's surface, nearly killing them along with the attacking Federation forces. Affected by this mistake, Robin rolled down with the rocks before he could understand what had happened.

", what's going on?"

Robin clutched his shoulder, which had been hit by the rock, and staggered to his feet from a pile of rubble.

The moment he looked around, he mistakenly thought he was in Hell, the crimson flames that burned on the surface, the corpses that burned beyond recognition, and the metal parts scattered all over the ground......

Gradually, the fragmented images of his memories began to connect in his mind, which made him immediately aware of what had happened and the crisis he was currently facing.

"Damn, this is a mine? It's a nuclear bomb! ~”

Robin tried to move his left arm, but found that his entire arm was immobile, and he thought that the joint in his shoulder must have been dislocated during the impact.

Leaning back against a half-inserted metal plate into the ground, Robin gritted his teeth and pressed his shoulder and twisted it hard. With a 'click', the twisted shoulder joint was forcibly twisted back into place, and the pain almost took Robin out of his strength.

After closing his eyes and gasping a few times, Robin, who had recovered his strength, pulled an assault rifle that had fallen to the ground from his side and began to wander around the messy battlefield.

Although Bart's blast caused Robin to be injured by mistake, it also killed and injured the enemy in a large area, and destroyed the offensive formation of the Federation heavy loaders in one fell swoop. Now, Robin can be seen almost everywhere in the battlefield with seriously wounded and dying Union soldiers, and Robin's method of dealing with them is to shoot their guns from afar, so as to end their painful lives.

But compared to the light infantry, which had been dismantled by the explosion, the four surviving hoplites of the Federation Army were still a formidable threat. Robin, who was in danger of being in the enemy army, had already found a heavy loader with a wounded leg.

The heavy loader must have been fairly close to the location of the explosion, his left leg was structurally damaged, and he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up alone without the help of others. The original silver-gray metal armor is now scorched black, large and small shrapnel is deeply embedded in the armor, and there are even sparks in many places.

"Looks like you're more unlucky than I am."

Hiding behind a pile of rubble, Robin took the dagger in his mouth and crept behind the heager.

He didn't choose to finish off the opponent with an assault rifle, because at this distance, Robin was not sure if his assault rifle would be able to penetrate the opponent's seemingly tattered armor. And if he doesn't take out the opponent in the first wave of attacks, the opponent's 25mm rapid-fire cannon will immediately beat him into a pile of pulp.

He held his breath and bypassed the other's gaze, approaching them little by little like a leopard ready to hunt. After confirming that the other party did not find out, he grabbed the knife and rushed out, aiming the extremely sharp blade at the gap between the armor, and stabbed it hard.

The sudden pain caused the heavy loader to roar, and he subconsciously raised his arm and swept behind him, and the huge force sent Robin flying like a sandbag. However, this large movement caused his wound to expand instantly, and bright red blood poured out of the cracks in the armor like a jet of magma.

"! ~”

Robin, who was knocked away, went crazy and raised his gun to sweep the heavy loader, sending the heavy loader's tattered armor into a spark, and the heavy loader staggered to lift the cannon, but the heavy armor on his body became a huge burden for him at the moment.

Finally, after an unwilling roar, the Federation Heavy Loader fell to the ground and was completely silent.

'Click'' 'Click'

The crisp sound of the assault rifle's energy ejection continued to sound, and Robin, who was holding the trigger, looked at the fallen heavy loader with empty eyes, and after coughing up a mouthful of blood, the exhausted physical strength made Robin's almost severed nerves relax, and he collapsed on his back, his heaving chest gasping violently like a pulled bellows.

But vaguely, Robin, who had escaped death, seemed to hear the heavy footsteps of the heavy loader walking towards him again.

At this moment, he didn't even have the strength to escape. In this desperate situation, Robin could only smile wryly, and just lay in place, watching the heavy loader come to him.

Robin was about to close his eyes and wait for death, but he inadvertently saw the slightly obtrusive black armor around the heavy loader's neck.

"Damn it......" Robin raised his middle finger hard at the heavy loader, grinning the moment, suddenly tilted his head, and passed out.
