Chapter 238: The Encounter of the 123rd Independent Squadron
After the ground crew at the front raised the flag that the road was cleared and could take off, Lieutenant Liu Jiayao, the leader of the 123rd Squadron, took the lead in wearing strong attack artillery equipment.
The four bright blue magic tails left the ground hangar one after another, and the four witches of the squadron began to make a routine patrol around the vicinity of the Sichuan heavy industry base as usual.
With additional fuel canisters and mana canisters to keep them on endurance, a routine patrol that takes about a morning to make a round trip is a very boring act. And the witch's natural sharp intuition can allow the witches to react in advance at the moment of danger, so few enemies can sneak up on the witch.
So in such a routine patrol without any special circumstances, the witches of the 123rd Squadron began to chat with each other to play a long and boring patrol time.
"Lieutenant Qin Xinxin, oh, it's a captain today. Since Captain Qin Xin began to do what she was supposed to do and withdrew from the front-line battles, our 123 Squadron was finally able to do something decent. ”
There is no doubt that this is the second lieutenant Takeba, who is born with a lot of words, can't bear the loneliness, and immediately began to ramble randomly to open the topic.
"But sister, we're on patrol right now. Is what our 123 Squadron should be doing is to conduct patrols? Not far behind Zhu Ye, Zhu Qing, who was wearing a strong air combat suit like his sister, whispered.
"Hey, you're my sister, how can you tear down my platform like this!" Listening to the laughter of his captain Liu Jiayao and Gao Lu, Second Lieutenant Zhuye shook his fist and said to his sister. "Compared to the way we were almost forgotten by the above. Now it's a good start for us to start on a mission, even if it's on patrol! Team Liu, don't you think so?! ”
"Indeed, although because it is adjacent to the 233 squadron, you can get the latest equipment as soon as possible." Looking at the mecha with a faint fluctuation of magic power on his body, Liu Jiayao showed a wry smile. "But every time there is a special mission, the country will think of the 233 Squadron first. And what awaits us 123 Squadron is the task of guarding the base. It's really stressful in comparison. ”
"So, captain, don't feel guilty for driving Qin Xin back to the rear with Lieutenant Liu Mengshan, like Qin Xin's ...... The best place for a guy like the captain is to honestly go back to the rear. This foul guy stays with us all day, and I wonder if I'm a witch anymore. "Come to think of it. Second Lieutenant Takeba also couldn't help but sigh a little. "It's the same witch, why are we so far behind?"
"At most, our opinions can only be referred to by the military department, and it is not up to us to decide where Captain Qin Xin should go." As the pilot, Liu Jiayao adjusted the direction slightly, and then continued. "A talent like Captain Qin Xin should have been sent to the rear to protect it a long time ago. Until now, Captain Qin Xin has been allowed to stay on the front line, probably because of the military department's own considerations. ”
"Hmm. If I were the leader of the military department, I would definitely not send such a guy who can fight to the rear. Second Lieutenant Takeba nodded and said what he had guessed in his heart.
"The idea of the military department is not something that should be considered by us, and it is enough for us to complete the tasks that we should do." Lieutenant Liu Jiayao said with a faint commanding tone. "Second Lieutenant Takeba, I don't want to hear similar words from your mouth again."
"Yes, Team Liu." Second Lieutenant Takeba said undeniably.
"Look below, at four o'clock, there seem to be insects and beasts there!" Ensign Zhuqing, who has never been accustomed to speaking, listens. Suddenly pointed downwards and said.
"Worms? Stop moving forward! After sweeping his gaze and watching an insect beast disappear into the gap between the trees below, Lieutenant Liu Jiayao hurriedly ordered.
"Lieutenant Liu Jiayao of the 123rd Squadron calls the tower!"
"Please speak if you receive it!"
"123 Squadron at 10:03 a.m. at :*. *The location is now the trace of insects and beasts, now start to approach the reconnaissance! ”
"Mission Action Relay Completed, Mission Application Approved, Please Be Safe."
"Lieutenant Liu Jiayao received!"
After the operation report was completed, Liu Jiayao waved a few gestures, and the tight formation that was originally a normal patrol quickly expanded into a combat formation. Then began to lower the altitude, ready to observe the details of the ground.
However, as the witches of Squadron 123 carefully lowered to a position close to the ground. In the quiet forest around, there was no sign of insects and beasts.
"Qing'er, you read that right, right? You don't think of any animal as an insect beast, do you?! Zhuqing's radio station sounded Zhuye's voice.
"It's impossible to be mistaken, because I seem to have seen the insect beast just now." Lieutenant Liu Jiayao, who was holding a large ion cannon, said while being on guard. "Zhu Ye Zhuqing landed on the ground with me to reconnoitre. Gao Lu continues to be vigilant in the sky! ”
"Yes!"
Click!
After a crisp stamping sound between the metal boots made of the armor and the dead branches, a standard three-person combat team carefully scouted all the tracks on the ground with the help of the witch in the sky.
There is no doubt that the traces left on the ground of large, sharp objects touching the ground are the traces left by insects and beasts. But there was no movement of any insects and beasts nearby, which made these witches can't help but have a burst of suspicion in their hearts.
Worms rarely act alone, and once traces of worms appear in this location, it proves that the Worm Beast army is very close to here.
So since there have been traces of insects and beasts here, where have those insects and beasts gone?
It's impossible that the insect beast you just saw is a lost insect beast!
"Captain, over there!" Just when Liu Jiayao was suspicious in his heart, Second Lieutenant Zhuye suddenly pointed to the cave on the mountain wall not far away.
Obviously, the traces of insects and beasts on the ground only disappeared after extending all the way here.
Looking at this location, which was likely to be the hiding place of the insect beast, Liu Jiayao, who suddenly thought of something, carried the heavy ion cannon in his hand and ran directly to the location of the cave not far away.
The landform of Sichuan is a huge basin, and in addition to flowing down the rivers to the sea, many of the water flowing from the surrounding mountains will directly seep into the ground, forming complex underground caverns in the underground.
These underground caverns, formed by the erosion of underground rivers day and night, are so complex that no one knows where they lead.
As a nesting insect beast in the ground, burrowing is an innate talent.
Until now, humans have not broken through the defense line because of insects and beasts digging tunnels, and a large reason is because high-precision seismic detectors can detect the vibrations caused by insects and beasts digging tunnels, so they can give early warnings.
However, no matter how accurate the seismic monitor is, it is useless in the face of these natural underground troop transport channels.
If the insects and beasts followed these passages to cross the well-established defense line and invade the industrial base that was gradually forming inside, the consequences would be simply unimaginable.
Hurriedly rushed to the entrance of the cave, looking at the pitch black inside and extending to the depths of the cave, even Lieutenant Liu Jiayao, who was a mechanized witch, did not dare to break in lightly.
At the moment, the most important thing is to call for support and blow up this cave as quickly as possible, so as to prevent the insects and beasts inside from running out silently and attacking the industrial area.
After all, the vanguard of the insect beast has already appeared, so it is almost a matter of time before the large army that follows behind appears.
"Squadron 123 is stationed on the spot, ready to snipe any insects and beasts that appear here!" Turning on the radio, Liu Jiayao quickly ordered his teammates.
"Yes!"
"123 Squadron calls the base, coordinates *, * is now the insect and beast transport channel, request support!"
"Base received! The Engineer will arrive in the shortest possible time, so continue to scout the movement of insects and beasts in the same place! “
"Yes!"
"Captain, worm beast!" Second Lieutenant Gao Lu in the sky warned. "At seven o'clock, a large number of insects and beasts came out of the crack that suddenly collapsed in the ground!"
"Taking advantage of the narrow passage and the fact that the insects and beasts that escaped from the inside could not spread their formations, all these insects and beasts that drilled out of the ground were blocked underground, waiting for the arrival of follow-up troop support!"
"Yes!"
In the sky, four witches are using the weapons in their hands to continuously attack the insects and beasts that emerge from the caverns of the ground.
The dazzling glare of ion rays, the sound of insects and beasts being steamed and blasted by high-temperature ion streams.
The two sides that were close to each other tried their best to repel each other in this small battlefield, and won the first chance for their rear troops to win the war. (To be continued)
