Chapter 419: Shooting Army

This blatant action was quickly caught by the Imperial Air Force units, who sent a commando squad of warplanes to ravage the poor convoy. Bartrick's mech was just as unlucky as its owner, and it became a shield for the Resistance vehicles underneath it, as it was attached to the truck. The huge body was hit by nearly ten anti-tank missiles, although these small anti-tank missiles could not destroy the mech's much thicker defense than the top armor of the tank, but the mech was still crippled, the head monitor was destroyed, the chest armor of the mech was hit four badly, and the armor of the right leg and thigh was hit once. The armor in all three places had to be replaced, and the head monitor had to be replaced entirely.

But it's not bad news that the repair date for the Barttrick Mech has gone from three days to a week, as Bartrick, the guy who has been unlucky since arriving in the desert, will be in the Resistance hospital for at least a week. The poor man was hit in the ass by shrapnel from a missile that hit his mech, knocking the captain of Boos to the ground on the spot, screaming loudly that he was going to die.

After being taken to the hospital by the smiling Resistance soldiers around him, the proud Lord immediately contacted Bous and asked them to send fighter planes, but Buos's air force was not even as powerful as the Empire, so how could he send precious fighter jets to the Resistance. Therefore, the person in charge of supporting the resistance could only send a large number of anti-aircraft shotguns, and explained that it was to prepare the pilots for a large number of fighters in the future.

But what pilot wants to do some boring escort mission? The Imperial Air Force units were targeted at the internal and external forces, especially the supply convoys of the Resistance Army, but the initiative was in the hands of these Imperial pilots. There are many times. These imperial flies will feign a swoop attack above your head. And then before entering the mecha air defense circle. Pull it up, shake its wings by the way, and laugh at the mecha below that looks like a great enemy.

This thankless task caused the Buos pilots to lose interest after one experience, and left the task of escorting the convoy entirely to the Cross of Hades. Ye has an indifferent attitude towards such a thing, he was originally trained to train resistance pilots, rather than let these pilots under his command be bored on standby, it is better to pull them out for exercise and increase some time on the plane. Moreover, anti-aircraft combat can better train pilots' shooting accuracy and ability to judge the amount of advance.

For each escort mission, they carry three clips of shotguns and three magazines of armor-piercing bullets at night, and the armor-piercing bullets are brought to prevent the empire's possible mecha assault, in case the empire's wolf cavalry sneaks up, and their own mecha troops do not bring armor-piercing bullets, then the Hades Cross seems to have to be explained in the escort mission.

"Instructor, the 11th supply convoy is about to return to the Gobi, and the 3rd Commando Team is already on standby, will you set off with the team this time?" Wang Hui manipulated the loader to press bullets into the magazine, and asked about the night when he walked into the hangar. Sixteen mechs of the Cross of Hades. It was divided into three commandos with five machines, and the night was independent.

"No, I won't. I just came to Cambeth with your first commando team in the morning, and I have to set off again in the afternoon, so I'm too tired, and Jimmy also has the ability to command independently, so I don't need to worry about it. "Night is very confident in the commando leader of the third commando, and the third commando, like the third commando, is composed of three tigers and three bears, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the first commando composed of five bears.

"Oh." Wang Hui nodded and continued to manipulate the loader in his hand. The huge bullet was accurately taken out of the ammunition box by the robotic arm and pressed into the magazine in front of Wang Hui's eyes. Mecha ammo is not something that humans can press into the magazine with both hands, not because the mecha ammo is too heavy, but because the ammo is too long for a single person to grasp the force when pressing into the magazine.

Most of the quality of today's live ammunition comes from its combat part, because the quality of this part directly determines the power of the ammunition. The standard 120 mm bullet has a length of 900 mm and an armor-piercing mass of 12 kilograms, of which eight kilograms is the weight of a 700-millimeter-long tungsten core alloy warhead. Such a light amount of propellant is also due to the invention of a new type of lightweight propellant gunpowder. In the words of the night, the live ammunition at this time, except for the tungsten core and the light metal shell outside, is foam. Compared with armor-piercing bullets, shotguns are even lighter, with thousands of steel balls weighing only five kilograms, and the total weight of the whole bullet is less than ten kilograms, so they can carry one more cartridge at night instead of armor-piercing shells with only five magazines in the Federation.

With a click, Wang Hui immediately jumped off the console, ran to the bottom of the huge magazine, and broke an erected iron rod. This is the first spring holder of the three-layer magazine common to mechs. The three-layer magazine used by the mecha can ensure the continuous firepower of the mecha, but a hundred bullets cannot be discharged in one layer, so smart people designed the three-layer magazine to strengthen the firepower of the mecha. It's just that these magazines are a bit complicated to operate when loading, and they need to fix the feed springs of the first and third layers.

Boom, there were a few explosions outside the maintenance hangar, and it was the Reich's Pru again, dropping a few small bombs. These small bombs could not even penetrate the roof of the tank, let alone the heavily reinforced hangar and warehouse roof of the Resistance, and the bombs dropped by the Reich fighters who were far away from the range of the anti-aircraft artillery. The night I walked out of the hangar was only a few thick smoke rising from the distant town, but there was not even a pit in the base.

"The third commando team of the Hades Cross is ready to go out, and after meeting the eleventh supply convoy outside the town, it will advance towards the Gobi." In the next hangar, Jimmy, the commando leader of Commando Team 3, is giving a briefing on the mission. When he saw him coming in at night, he immediately turned around and saluted and asked, "Instructor, are you going to set off with us for this mission?" ”

"No, Jimmy, I'm a bit tired of running back and forth like this, and you're getting to the point where you're able to act on your own, so it's time to go out and be independent."

"Understand, instructor, I will complete the task and live up to your hopes." Jimmy, the tall black guy, saluted.

Night, who was accustomed to Jimmy's serious style, did not stop it, but only reminded: "Bring both shotguns and armor-piercing shells, and contact the reconnaissance unit responsible for the vigilance around you at all times." Don't let the Imperial mechs sneak up on you. Other than that. Encounter an irreversible form. Give up when it's time to give up, the supplies will be replenished without the Federation and Buos, and the mecha will be difficult if you don't have words. ”

"Yes, Instructor."

"Let's get on board, we're ready to go."

"Board the board and check last."

"Yes."

In the hangar, one mech after another lit up their one-eye. At the request of the night, the Iron Giant, painted in the protective color of the earthy desert, began to move his steps towards the outside of the town.

"Instructor, they should have gained something this time, hehe, with the instructor, the imperial fighters don't dare to fly down, they are independent this time, they should be able to eat alone." Wang Hui, who had finished pressing a magazine bullet, came out behind the night for a while and said with a smile. Night in the first few escort missions. Shot down at least one squadron of Imperial fighters, leaving Pru's pilots no longer afraid to attack a convoy escorted by the Silver Bear. After all, no one wants to experience that kind of accurate shotgun attack in a lightly armored warplane.

"It's fine. In this way, they can be tempered, anyway, even if Pru has bombs and missiles, he can't do anything with the bear pose. Just hope there aren't any Imperial mechs, although the odds are low. In the future, I will not participate in your escort tasks, so let you complete it independently. ”

"Understood, instructor." Wang Hui looked excited, he liked the feeling of attacking with the night, but this hot-blooded kid preferred the thrill of fighting with the imperial troops.

Apparently, the Resistance's offensive did not stop with the huge losses of the infantry units at Cambeth, and only three days later, the Shiranui mecha troops, led by Henry, set out again to attack another front-line town, Pompeii.

The commander of Pompeii imitated the tactics of the last Commander of Cambeth, but as it is often said that the first man was a genius, and the third was usually an idiot, this expensive pyrotechnic did not hurt even a single Resistance infantryman. Then, one of the commando mechs in ambush was defeated by the resistance under superior forces, and had to retreat after losing three commandos Bear.

"Whatever you do, Boos's guys, they're playing really well." On the night when I got the battle report from the front in the rear, I had to sigh that these personnel on the front line really played beautifully.

"Under the inferior forces, they can still play two to one battle damage, it seems that their mecha is very good." Wang Hui said enviously on the side, in this battle, the Resistance Army only lost one commando mecha, and the pilots of these mecha were all students of the Resistance Army.

"I don't know that the fire performance is better than the Tiger style, this battle is completely a mistake of the opposing commander, and in these years, imitation is not so easy. The Imperial commander hastily sent an attack force without confirming the situation in the town. Moreover, the attacking forces were divided into four directions to completely encircle Pompeii. ”

"His appetite is really big, and he wants to extinguish all the ignorant fire, but unfortunately his teeth are not very good, and this time he has broken his teeth." Wang Hui said with some excitement.

"Well, that vice-captain of Boos is not bad, he knows that he should concentrate his forces on inflicting heavy damage on the enemy, and at the beginning of the battle, he unexpectedly routed the enemy in three directions." Night gave a very high opinion of the tactics used by Henry in this battle. However, this guy drank the water in his cup in one gulp and continued: "But then again, the real hero should actually be the commander of the other party, if he only chooses to flank the left and right, and is not a total encirclement, the empire will not lose so much." ”

Wang Hui shrugged, took the cup that kept shaking in his hand and poured a full glass of ice water for the night. There was no way, the poor air-conditioning facilities of the Resistance were all installed in the hangar, and in the dormitory, they had to drink ice water to cool down.

The three victories of the Resistance completely infuriated the Empire, a country that could compete with the Federation, erupted into a terrifying fighting force. The three reorganized mecha commandos that were being repaired were mobilized and began to march towards the front line of the Resistance Army, and the leader of this mecha unit was the Imperial Ace Commando in the Red Cloud Desert area, the black triple star, which made the Federation pilots smell and change.

The Imperial military originally thought that relying on the three commando mechs stationed in Cambeth and Pompeii, there was enough information to show that the Resistance Army did not exceed one mecha unit of the commando, but the facts told them that the Resistance not only has a large number of mecha troops, but the average performance of its mecha is still above the bear type used by the Empire in large quantities, and the pilots of the other side are not just some stunned young people, on the contrary, the opponent's tactical commander is also quite good. This forced the Reich to order to be in a period of recuperation, ready to deal with the mecha forces that might be formulated by the upper echelons to attack Boos, and draw out three integrated commando teams, and form a wing with the original three commandos, as the main force to attack the resistance.

Such a large-scale movement of the empire could not have been concealed from the ubiquitous eyes and ears of the rebels. The Resistance's mechs were transformed almost instantly, with the Immortal Cross, who had been escorting supplies, being pushed to the front lines of the war, and the Resistance Ignorant Troops taking their place. Buos's Shiranui unit also retreated from the position of the main attack and became a mobile unit, after all, their purpose was to come and exercise, and they needed to participate in the battle with the mech, not in any escort mission.

I don't have much cold with Buos's mobile troops at night, to put it bluntly, they are the ones who pick up soft persimmons and pinch them, and it is not possible to expect them to be like normal mobile troops, in the most difficult places in the most difficult battles, and help you.

The atmosphere in the Resistance's hangar was a bit heavy, and this time the Resistance faced an enemy that was completely beyond their imagination. In previous battles, the Empire was unable to even send mechs to wipe out the Resistance due to the Federation's pindown. But by this time, the Resistance had acquired the mech unit they had always dreamed of, and it was more than a commando formation. However, when they found themselves with mecha, the Empire did outmaneuver them again. It's like a person fighting with a dagger with his bare hands, and when he gets a long sword, he finds that the other person has a submachine gun in both hands. This feeling made Zakhaev, the new leader of the resistance, almost smash his desk.

Contrary to the atmosphere in the hangar, the Resistance infantry was not too frustrated, and they were still in high spirits to prepare their jeeps and wipe down their assault rifles. The Imperial Mecha Force had fought against them before, and in their opinion, it was just that the number of Iron Giants they had to deal with this time was a bit large.

Compared with the optimism of the synchronized soldiers and the dullness of the pilots, Ye's heart is extremely pessimistic about the judgment of the battle situation. The Resistance personnel may have noticed that the forces that the Empire has liberated from the front line of the Federation at this time include fighter planes in addition to mechs, but how can the Resistance, which has basically no air supremacy, understand what it means that these fighters have almost never flown over the heads of the Resistance before.
