02 - Burning Kyoto (Part II)

July 31, 1998 - Temporary supply base in Arashiyama

Since when did the living give up counting the number of the dead in detail?

In the dark corner of the base, the girl named Izumi looked at the pendant in her hand. Thinking back to the order given by the regular guard who was the squadron leader just now, [Defense of Arashiyama's Temporary Supply Base], the girl had mixed feelings and was afraid to go to the battlefield to fight [BEAT], and she also wanted to kill [BEAT] herself to avenge her fiancé.

"Look, there's a battle on Eagle Peak."

"What? Isn't Eagle Peak right in front of us? ”

Standing on the rooftop of the base, the girls looked at the flames burning in the south.

"It looks like the line has been breached!"

Two wrecked tactical planes flying through the sky were trying to retreat towards the area, but as a puff of green smoke came out of the middle of the airframe, the tactical planes that had been cut in the middle of the airframe immediately fell from the sky. The other one, despite trying to avoid the light level calibration using the S-shaped route, only lasted two seconds.

[BEAT] is near, so it's time for us to go into battle. The girls have this realization in their hearts, but they are still afraid when they should be afraid. Is the world really on the verge of ruining it? The girls had such a question in their hearts.

Woo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a long siren sounded

“conditionRED!! conditionRED!! All Guards, please take the tactical plane quickly!! All Guards, please take the tactical plane quickly!! ”

The whole base is up and running, the garrison and the registrar have begun to distribute weapons, machine guns and armored vehicles have been driven, and these girls who are only 14 years old, have been trained for less than 1 year, and have not even finished the course, have also begun to usher in their first battle.

The Imperial Guards, whose members are generally imperial nobles, use different colors to represent different origins, and these differences are both an honor and a responsibility.

Purple is the general of the expedition; Blue is from the Five Senses; Red is a powerful warrior; Huang is a lineage warrior; White is an external martial artist, and black is a non-martial artist.

Can't read it, do you? It doesn't matter if you can't read it, anyway, you know that purple is the highest, blue is second, red is in the middle, yellow is a bit superior, white is average, and black is just a temporary worker.

Seeing these second generations of power also fighting like themselves on the battlefield, and taking the lead, maybe they can arouse the morale of the soldiers, who knows.

With the ejection of the tactical aircraft, the members of the supply base began to evacuate, the highest priority is the registrar, the reposer of the tactical aircraft are all professionals, not just find a kitten and a puppy can do it, the loss of the reposer is even stricter than the loss of the tactical machine, because these majestic human technology crystallization [tactical aircraft] is also the regiper killer, in order to make these delicate things can play a role countless nameless repositors are fighting in the rear. Only then did it ensure the status of the tactical aircraft as the trump card of mankind in the war, and the tactical aircraft as a humanoid machine. In the process of use, the load on the various movable connection parts is considerable, and the maintenance pressure is heavy.

However, the inability of human beings to use the [Light Class] makes it necessary for humans to use this expensive toy to carry out the tactical mission of breaking through the enemy's defense line to annihilate the [Light Class], allowing humans to resume the use of air force and long-range projectile firepower.

"The vanguard of the enemy army is the [Assault Level], the [Attack Level] is the backbone, the [Light Level] is the last, [Only] leads your second squad to annihilate the [Assault Grade] I lead the first squad to protect the third squad, and the third squad breaks through the enemy formation to annihilate the [Ray Class] in the rear."

The squadron leader, who was wearing red clothes and turning on the red machine, gave instructions to these rookies.

[Ray Class] - [BEAT] trump card, the greatest threat to mankind, the emergence of [Light Class] has made the air force, the greatest advantage of mankind, completely unusable. The speed of light is inescapable, and the sight of it is a destructive sight for the light level. And those two pairs of big watery eyes are several times more than human eyesight, and any interference is ineffective against them. Human beings have lost air superiority, and even projection weapons have lost their effectiveness in the face of the [Ray Level] which amazing interception power, [Ray Class] has a range of 30KM, and within this 30KM range, it is a god, and it is destroyed by sight.

"The assault class is moving after entering within 100 meters, don't fire now! Hold on to the formation of a wedge of stability! Free fire of the whole machine! Free fire of the whole machine! ”

"Understand"

The tactical plane rushed towards the [Assault Class], and the front of the [Assault Class] could not be penetrated by the 37mm cannon of the tactical aircraft, but some newcomers who went to the battlefield for the first time couldn't withstand the pressure and opened fire. This kind of shooting is a waste of ammunition. But he was quickly stopped by his teammates.

There are generally two ways for tactical aircraft to deal with [Assault Class], bypass the side when [Assault Class] is sparse and attack Chrysanthemum, and the other is to jump up at the moment when [Assault Class] is close to themselves when [Assault Class] is dense, and then use the back 37mm machine gun on the back mechanical arm of the tactical aircraft to shoot the back of [Assault Class] without armor cover. But there are certain dangers associated with such tactical behavior.

Immediately after jumping again, a light-level alarm sounded in the body of the tactical aircraft.

"Shimako, you're too tall" Before the words fell, the body that had just jumped up to attack the [Assault Class] had a part of the chest, that is, the cockpit, was penetrated, and the light that penetrated the body ignited the engine of the tactical aircraft, and the tactical aircraft exploded directly in the air.

"Shimako !!" In less than a minute, the girls had lost a companion they had been together.

"Don't panic, lower the height, as long as you mix with [BEAT], the light level will not attack."

[Assault] is fast but difficult to turn, and it still takes some time for them to turn back after flashing [Assault].

But after crossing the [Assault Level], they entered the melee with the [Attack Level], although the rookie team of the girls wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill those Light Levels, but it was not so easy. Just the moment of engagement with [Strike Level], one of his companions was hit through the cockpit by the awl-like forelimbs of the Strike Level. With a scream from the girl, there was no more sound.

[Strike level] only has a armor similar to [assault level] in the forelimbs, and [attack level] wields the forelimbs that are harder than Mohs 15 to engage in hand-to-hand combat with tactical aircraft, although the combat level is not a powerful role in front of tactical aircraft with ammunition, but the ammunition of tactical aircraft is always used up, which is why the front-line countries attach great importance to the fighting ability of tactical aircraft, because in the end, only that long knife is the last reliance. But when the guards drive tactical planes and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the [Strike Level], the outcome is unpredictable, especially if there is a tank class indiscriminately, but these girls are lucky, because at least there is no tank class here. In fact, according to the statistics of the frontline countries, the [BEAT] that destroys the most tactical aircraft is not the [Ray Class], nor the [Attack Class], but the red [Tank Class]. [Tank Class] is worthy of the notoriety of the number one killer of mankind.

The girls' ammunition was almost used up quickly, and in order to save ammunition, the girls had to enter hand-to-hand combat mode and engage in hand-to-hand combat with [Attack Level].

8 minutes, the average survival time of the first time on the battlefield, but the so-called average, is that there are those who are directly killed in seconds and those who struggle for a while before dying.

"It worked, but we crossed the dead line for eight minutes." A young girl said to her companion in the channel, her voice is clear but the trembling pronunciation is excited? Or is it fear? This is a clear voice that has not yet entered the voice change period, but when the girl's voice just fell, the [Assault Level] who had just been released had already rushed back to the battlefield, and the girl's tactical machine was divided into two under the combined force of the huge mass and speed of the Assault Grade and the sharp armor at the front end of the [Assault Grade].

"Aki~~~"

Under the hard work of these girls, the third squad was finally given the opportunity to annihilate the light level, but what was the use of this. While they were fighting, the Arashiyama temporary supply base in the rear had been swallowed up by hordes of [BEAT]. In this battle, BEAT used a new tactic, which is to assault head-on and dig a hole underneath. [BEAT] uses his powerful burrowing ability to attack in the middle of the human defense line, and the defense line is full of holes.

The girls had only annihilated the light level when they found more [BEAT] rushing from all sides, and now that the Arashiyama base had been engulfed, there was no need to guard here, and when the amount of ammunition was getting smaller and smaller, the red-clothed squadron leader gave the order to retreat.

When each tactical plane rose into the air one by one and entered the maneuver mode, there was still a tactical plane where to slash and slash the swarming [Attack Level].

"Izumi, it's time to retreat," Yui in yellow said to her friend, but the tactical plane continued to slash and slash as if it hadn't heard it.

"Izumi?"

"Nope! Run away or something! I can't! "The girl named Izumi knows that if she runs away here, she will lose the courage to continue fighting [BEAT], the pain of losing her lover, the sadness of losing her companion, and the courage to fight [BEAT] in the future. Then you might as well be here.

"Ensign Noto, obey orders."

As the only one in yellow, he is the leader of the second squad, and in a class society like the army, he has absolute words for his subordinates, and under the suppression of orders, Hequan passively accepted the order, but his heart was very unstable. But how many of them can be stable when they first go to the battlefield?

The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny, the girls fly this fighter jet less than 3 meters above the ground, this flight mode has a term in this world called creeping flight, but even so, the body sounded a light-level warning shortly after takeoff. The auxiliary module of the body automatically starts the S-line avoidance. But even so, he didn't dodge the [Ray-level] shot, and in the first blow of the [Ray-level], he shot the red-clothed captain down.

This is the situation that humans fear the most, the light level has gained a bird's-eye shooting range on the ridgeline, and the tactical machine has almost nowhere to escape in this situation, but there are still 120 seconds to go to the terrain where they can dodge, and in these 120 seconds, the girls have to face the [light level] death ray, which is almost impossible to survive. In just a few seconds, 3 of their companions were shot down.

"Huang, you're in command?" Second Lieutenant Yamashiro reminded Huang Weiyi that it was true that Huang Weiyi was the highest status among the people who were still alive here. But when this kind of life hangs by a thread, all the girl can do is to ask everyone to release the reflective smoke bomb, and then leave it to fate, this reflective smoke bomb is a kind of ammunition filled with heavy metal powder that can form a layer of heavy metal cloud after explosion to interfere with the spread of light, but it is of little use in this case, because there is too little ammunition and the smoke range formed is insufficient. Only 30 seconds later, Huang Weiyi was left with only two partners, Izumi and Shangzong. Maybe we're going to die here, but as long as we don't get shot down, we have to flee to the end, we've survived the death line for eight minutes, we're going to be elite guards in the future, we're going to kill more [BEAT] to avenge everyone, maybe it's a fate, the battleship group on Lake Hachiman fired at Kyoto, and the light class began to turn the target to intercept the shells in order to protect [BEAT], but they picked up a life, and retreated towards the No. 8 line of defense according to the instructions of the red-coated squadron leader, maybe it was more appropriate to flee.

------------------- flowers bloom in two, one on each branch----------------------

"The mud stick man is such a waste, it's so fast that he can't even defend the capital." Seeing the latest information from the drone, I was speechless, and I thought that the mud stick man could hold on a little longer.

"Then Brother You, shall we continue to retreat?"

"Nope! I'm not going to give up this base this time, the beta version of the system I've designed is almost complete, and I'm going to see the effect here. If there is a need to retreat, retreat directly to the [Mianyang]. ”

That's right, the Atlantis-class submarine carrier I built in the Pacific Ocean has been completed. This aircraft carrier consumed almost all my resources, and even the [Funeral Home] tanks and [Thunder] tanks that retreated from Tsushima together were turned back. However, this ship will also help me a lot in the future. This is an original size ship, [Atlantis] is not an ordinary submarine or aircraft carrier, she is a factory ship, which is equipped with 3 T3 aircraft production lines, so the speed of producing aircraft is 3 times that of the general T3 aircraft factory, and my units have become pocket-sized now, an original real yàn-class unit is like a giant for me, this [Atlantis-class] I dismantled the aircraft production line, and changed it into a logistics base, on this ship, enough for me to squander [ The T3 Quantum Reactor and the T3 Mass Fabricator were integrated into the ship, and even better, they only counted as one unit. Oh yes!

Although I have never had a talent for naming names, a People's Republic of China area code manual helped me, Chongqing is a sad place, so I decided to name it after the prefecture-level city of Sichuan Province first, and then the [Atlantis] class may be called [Mianyang-class] on this planet

Battleships will be named after provincial capitals. Cruisers will use the county, destroyers below are numbered. That's a given. Prefecture-level cities are prepared for such integrated carriers.

"[BEAT] is almost here, won't they dig a hole?" Xiao Ying asked worriedly.

"I've shielded this space to block the detection power of [BEAT], and the mud stick people have already started shelling the city with battleships on Lake Hachiman, so I think I can still hold on for a while. I'm about to finish the final steps, and we'll get out of the way when we get the gadgets out. ”

That's right, I found that UEF's jamming technology is useful for [BEAT], because I released a large number of [Spark Engineering Vehicles] in the melee This T2 engineering vehicle is specialized in combat, in addition to being able to build, there is also a machine gun, and a jammer, which can make itself invisible except for optics. Through guò's test of [Spark], I found that this kind of stealth is also effective against [BEAT]. Because I also made a special treatment for the exterior wall of this space, which can block the perception of human beings and electronic parts by [BEAT]. With the help of the sparks, I was able to recover a lot of resources.

Bump~~~ There was a loud bang overhead, followed by two more sounds.

"Brother You, there is a mud stick man's tactical plane that has fallen," Xiao Ying looked at the number of sparks coming from the nearby sparks, and pointed to the screen and said to me.

I wanted to ignore it, but suddenly on the sensor of the ACU, I found the reaction of my dagger, yes, whether it is the Tang knife or the dagger, it occupies a position for me, because the blade of the knife is a strong field to control the strong interaction force line, and the energy of the force field is provided by the quantum energy network of my ACU, so it is also appropriate to occupy a unit.

"Xiaoying, it looks like I'm going to go out for a while, I'll lock the door, you stand by in place, remember this is an order!"

"Yes!"
