Chapter 144: Assault in the Jungle

In the depths of the dark and deep forest, the huge canopy of Alba wood is connected together, covering the entire forest impermeable. {}

Looking up, a large amount of moss grows thickly among the branches of the Alba wood, and the flickering blue light spots are layered on top of each other, like the yellow and swaying wall lamps in the ancient castle, filling the forest with an indescribable sense of spatial three-dimensionality.

The huge canopy of trees is the uppermost space in the forest. The trunk area, where branches crisscross and countless vines entangle, forms a middle space of forest layers like a staircase. As for the dense shrubs, the view is occupied by the jungle and the thick roots that outcrop the ground, and it becomes the bottom space of the forest.

If operations in areas with an open line of sight, such as plains and deserts, are called two-dimensional operations, then street battles in forests and streets are three-dimensional operations with more complex terrain and higher combat difficulty.

Fighting in such terrain requires familiarity with the spatial distribution of the forest and the most rational use of the forest terrain to become the most critical factors for victory. Especially when the vegetation of Ventini limits the electronic radar exploration device, the human person's own personal judgment is the only way to survive in the jungle war. Often, ambushes in the forest are the most terrifying and deadliest, because you never know if a knife-wielding figure will suddenly emerge from the depths of the dense bushes as you chop through the bushes to make your way. As you wade through a muddy muddy puddle, you won't be able to see if anyone is hiding in the muddy water, watching you silently like a crocodile on hunt. Even when something leaps between the branches above you, you can't tell if it's an enemy or a monkey. As for the hanging vines, it's not just a forest decoration, in the hands of seasoned jungle warfare experts, it can suddenly turn into a deadly noose at any moment, and hang you into the air like a wild boar waiting to be slaughtered.

If there was a choice of battlefield, even the best infantry would not want to go into the jungle and use the jungle as a battlefield for tearing and killing. Here, if one side dominates the information, with a little set-up, experienced warriors can transform the jungle into their home turf. Then as their opponent, the only thing you can do is pray and beg that Lady Luck will be on your side today.

And at this moment, this Hoffman Empire special combat team scattered in the forest is obviously in this unfavorable situation. They didn't know that not far in front of them, a group of ** soldiers armed to the teeth were silently staring at them, waiting for them to step into the trap.

In fact, judging by the way they traveled through the forest, there was no doubt that they were an elite infantry skilled in jungle warfare. In addition to the three assault men who were advancing on the ground in the shape of a zigzag arrow, two sturdy scouts were active in the middle of the forest ahead, jumping like apes from undulating branches to eliminate all threats to the large forces in the rear. In addition, another sniper hid in the canopy hundreds of meters high, hanging far behind everyone, providing fire cover for his comrades in front of him, and clearing the obstacles in the breakthrough route for his comrades when the team was ambushed.

This is a well-balanced combat squad, and the division of labor mode is somewhat similar to the country's regular infantry squad, unlike the Federal Army and the ** National 6th Army, which are applying the air force duo mode to match the heavy loader. However, this more balanced matching model reflects the strong military heritage of the Hoffman Empire. Just like the 6th Army of the first country, the military department is not unaware that the large-scale deployment of heavy infantry armor plays a far better role than the two-person heavy loader model, but the high cost of heavy infantry armor makes it impossible for the resource-poor ** country to be fully equipped. In addition, heavy infantry armor also has high basic quality requirements for users, and before the large-scale popularization of the advanced potion country 6 armies prescribed by Leona, even if the ** country produces a large number of heavy infantry armor, I am afraid that it will not be able to match in terms of personnel.

And the Imperial Army squad in front of them is not only fully equipped with heavy armor, but even the heavy infantry armor they are equipped with is also the Type 3 armor that only the knights of the Twin Star Knights, the most peak combat power of the Federation. Judging by their uniform armor style, it is clear that this is standard armor, so the results inferred from this are quite surprising.

"Hey~ Robin, are they equipped with basic Type 3 armor or a generation of Type 3 armor?" Hiding at the top of the canopy, Lee led the Gauss sniper infantry half-kneeling among the dense branches, and while using the scope to lock on to the slowly approaching emperor's ** companion, he whispered to Robin who was hiding in the bushes on the ground with communication.

It is difficult to see the difference between the basic Type 3 armor and the first and second generation Type 3 armor in appearance, but in terms of actual power, the basic Type 3 armor is completely incomparable with the first and second generation Type 3 armor opened by the Federation in the later period.

Just like the 'Rakshasa' that Li is currently equipping, in the eyes of the layman, this Type 3 armor equipped by Li is almost no different from the 'Shura', 'Yaksha' and 'Vampire Fairy' equipped by Robin and others.

But in reality, Lee's 'Rakshasa' is nothing more than basic Type 3 armor. Since not all of the materials used in the fabrication are made of the biological alloy of Myceni metal, the Basic Type 3 armor does not have the ability to amplify the user's special abilities, and may even limit the use of certain special abilities. Lee's 'Eagle Eye' is unhindered because 'Eagle Eye' is an auxiliary special ability that enhances the human senses, which can perfectly match the basic Type 3 armor equipped.

Robin's first-generation Type 3 armor 'Shura' and Zhuo Luo and Leona's second-generation Type 3 armor 'Yaksha' and 'Vampire Elf' are a different story. Both the first generation of Type 3 armor and the second generation of Type 3 armor are all made of Mycenae metal, so thanks to the special Xing of biometal, the armor itself can accept certain cells containing special abilities, so that the armor's energy system can amplify the user's special abilities, so as to have stronger destructive power. As for the difference between the first generation and the second generation, it is only a simple difference in the number of matching special abilities, the first generation of armor is specially matched with only a single special ability, while the second generation of armor can be matched with two special abilities at the same time, making the user's combat collocation more abundant.

Therefore, although the basic, first, and second generations are basically the same in appearance, the combat effects are very different. Before the battle, Li would ask Robin what type of armor the opponent was equipped with, and he also wanted to borrow the armor model to estimate the opponent's strength level in advance.

"There is no way to judge for the time being, and priority is given to evaluating combat effectiveness with reference to the second-generation Type 3 armor." Robin quietly made a tactical gesture behind him to prepare for action, lowered his voice and ordered: "Li, get rid of your peers, even if you can't solve it, you have to make him unable to participate in the war." Zoro and Leona, you two are responsible for taking out the opposing Scouts, and come to my aid as soon as you take out your opponents. ”

Seeing that the enemy outpost scouts were gradually approaching the encirclement, Robin immediately gave the battle order.

In terms of strong combat power assessment, the six people on the other side can basically be confirmed as having strong combat power at the level of knights, and although there are also six people on Robin's side who can reach the level of knights, only four of them are currently equipped with Type 3 armor that can increase combat effectiveness. This made Xia Zuo and Shirley's combat effectiveness limited to a large extent, and they could only barely contain them, and they could not compete with each other one-on-one. Therefore, if Robin's tactics are to succeed, then Zolo and Leona, who are the first to ambush, must use the fastest time to eliminate their opponents and complete the reinforcements before the opponent can break through the encirclement formation. Lying in ambush in the canopy, Lee will need to contain his peers and avoid long-range attacks from the most lethal enemy snipers. As for the head-on confrontation with the three heavily armed assaulters ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
