Chapter 028. All the way across

The roar of the engine was already on the silent street, and the thick beams of light appeared around the corner, illuminating the straight street in front of it almost transparently. With the roar of the engines, five M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles were slowly moving forward, the slender 25mm guns on the turrets were pointed forward, swaying slightly with the undulations of the advance.

But the heavier roar of the engines was still present in the streets, like a giant beast, behind the five infantry fighting vehicles. The low, stout hull turned around the corner, and the huge weight weighed down any gravel and debris on the ground into a cloud of powder, and the long and thick smoothbore gun with a full 120mm caliber poked out of the corner first, only to reveal the entire turret as the heavy hull turned, and the gun that had been aimed at the end of the street showed that this was not just a decoration.

The M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tank, the pinnacle of the modern U.S. military, is the king of land, and its seemingly heavy and huge body does not affect its high mobility at all. The powerful engine spun rapidly, allowing the track to make rapid contact with the road, allowing the entire tank to appear on the street completely. And just behind this tank, another tank was also following at a constant speed, and the two were separated from the five infantry fighting vehicles in front, but they could still feel the compelling deterrent.

A super-firepower mechanized armored company consisting of five M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in the front, three M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks in the center, and three Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in the rear. The roar of the engine has completely resounded throughout the street, but this mechanical unit is like a rampaging dragon, and the hideous tank guns, machine guns, parallel machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns form the fierce minions of this dragon, and any enemy who appears in front of it may suffer a dense and huge firepower!

Liszt sat quietly in an M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, the Winchester M1887 shotgun still in his hand, but there was also an M249 light machine gun behind his back. But this is not a weapon he has exchanged in the system, but an extra one of the surplus supplies of Company E. The role of this squad support weapon in street fighting is still strong, especially for Liszt, who lacks long-range firepower, and there is no doubt that it is a disaster in the snow.

Next to him, the elder Bunard and Sofitel were also in the back compartment of the infantry fighting vehicle, and the other four soldiers who were responsible for protecting them were also quite crowded. However, in this armored car, it is much safer than the previous communication jeep, at least there is no need to worry about the deathclaws hidden in the darkness when driving in the dark, and the deathclaws hidden in the darkness will unexpectedly pounce and sneak attack, killing the soldiers who are not very prepared. Everyone wants to be safe, not to mention sitting in this infantry fighting vehicle, which is also very effective for reserving physical strength.

Eight M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles with a standard 3+7 design. The driver, commander, and gunner, with seven heavily armed soldiers, can shoot through the firing holes on both sides, and can even open the rear hatch and rush out in a matter of seconds, accompanying the armored troops. But with the M242 "Viper" 25mm chain cannon, it is enough to deal with most threats, and I am afraid that the extremely terrifying legendary deathclaws in the wasteland of later generations will be hated by the dense machine gun bombardment.

What's more, it is a death claw that cannot be called a peak state now, and even the attacks of ordinary rifles cannot withstand a little more intensive. The death claws in the wasteland, which have undergone a large amount of nuclear radiation and FEV forced evolution virus infection and mutation, are nearly four meters tall when they become adults, and have bio-type infrared sensing at close range, sharper and harder claws and fangs, as well as stronger bodies and vitality. At that time, in addition to the freezing guns based on alien technology, the Gauss rifles developed by China and the Soviet Union were almost only large-caliber heavy machine guns that could cause effective damage to them.

But now, in 2059, the deathclaws leaking out of this small city are just test subjects. Liszt himself also understood that although the later games were data-based, their combat effectiveness did not drop to the point where even small-caliber rifles could hurt. But it may also be an opportunity for Liszt, three main battle tanks and eight infantry fighting vehicles, and more than fifty accompanying infantrymen, I am afraid that no matter how many deathclaws come, at most they will use the flesh and blood to add a layer of lubrication to the tracks.

From the moment they left their temporary headquarters in the Plantagenet neighborhood, the strength of this armored unit had already been confirmed. The demonic deathclaws that crawled out of hell in the face of the light infantry units just roared and rushed over, and before they could get close to Liszt, they were bombarded into pieces of minced meat by the 25mm machine guns on the turret more than twenty meters. Even the 120mm smoothbore gun of the M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tank had just turned around and had no time to fire, and the battle had already been spotted slowly stopping firing from the turret. 7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and already declared the end of this disproportionate battle.

Even if deathclaws jump directly onto tanks or infantry fighting vehicles with the help of the height of the buildings on both sides, but so what? The sharp claws can only scratch the paint on the armor, and there is no need to care about the US Army soldiers hiding inside. As long as you wait for the parallel machine guns or anti-aircraft machine guns on other infantry fighting vehicles or tanks to fire, it will blast down the death claws standing on the turret like whack-a-mole, and then be run over by the crawlers weighing dozens of tons. Except for the subtle sound of bones twisting and crumbling, there was only a slight step on the accelerator because of the slightest obstacle.

"This is a map of the Oak Flower subway station, and after a kilometer along the subway there will be a maintenance passage, and the secret passage of the underground research institute is inside."

The hydraulics of the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle are not as good as those of professional sedans, but the town's infrastructure roads are commendable, and there are not many bumps in the road while driving quickly on the streets. The old Bunnard, who was sitting in the back compartment, slowly put down the detailed map of the Oak Flower subway station found in the temporary command post, looked at Liszt in front of him with solemn eyes, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The terrain is relatively complex, the key area is quite narrow, and the armored troops cannot directly enter. ”

"Can't get in? Does this mean that we must continue to abandon tanks and infantry fighting vehicles? ”

Squinting slightly, Liszt's gaze swept over the detailed military map, and the extension of the subway line in the Oak Flower subway station was also outlined with dotted lines. And just about a kilometer inside the subway, the elder Bunard had already drawn countless circles back and forth on it with a pencil, which was obviously the underground research institute. Slowly gritting his teeth, Liszt's expression gradually became solemn, and he couldn't help but raise his head and say to Old Bunal: "Absolutely not, the environment in the subway station is so complicated, if we give up tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, then the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

The narrow entrance to the subway station did not take into account the passage of vehicles at all, let alone tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. Now Liszt's main factor in the rampaging in this small city is that these eight M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicles and three M1A2 "Abrams" main battle tanks are absolutely inseparable. If they are allowed to give up their existing advantages in firepower and protection, and continue to enter in the mode of light infantry, I am afraid that even the deathclaws of those test subjects will have to be feasted upon.

The structure in the metro station is quite complex, because it is built underground, and there are not only drains, aqueducts or cable ducts, but also maintenance stations at certain distances. Although this is reasonable in design and easy to maintain, it is undoubtedly full of a lot of dangers for the current Liszt. Just because deathclaws couldn't tear through the hard armor didn't mean they couldn't tear through their fragile human bodies.

The sharp claws are like a brand new short sword that has just been created, and with a simple swing of that great force, it can tear a person to pieces like rags. And in that complicated situation, even if a deathclaw jumped out of their marching team, they would not dare to fire all their power in order to avoid accidental injury. It is also easy to imagine that once they are unable to use even the advantage of firepower, then a group of light infantry will not be optimistic about the deathclaws that are being studied with biological weapons.

And everyone's thoughts were basically the same, because they had all seen deathclaws before, and they knew how powerful this terrifying monster was. Just as everyone fell silent, the infantry fighting vehicle, which was still moving fast, slowly stopped. At the same time, the commander of the infantry fighting vehicle also turned to them behind him and said, "General Bunnard, Sofitel Company Commander, Mr. Liszt, we have arrived at the Oak Flower subway station. ”

Liszt opened the shooting hole on his side, and through the hole, which was only the size of a fist, he clearly saw a depression in the ground outside, which was the entrance to the subway station. The headlights of the chariot illuminated the surrounding terrain like a light, and the lush shopping streets and towering office buildings loomed in the distance, as well as the dozen or so black burly figures, roaring at the entrance of the subway station, the surrounding gardens, and the streets, their two muscular hind limbs making them so fast that even the best athletes could not match them.
