Chapter 7: The Shooter

Roger and Chen Yi exchanged glances with each other after hearing the abnormal sound.

And all the communication between them is only this one eye.

Of course, there are reasons for their respective positions in the normal formation of the squad - for example, there is at least one shock between Roger's assault guard and Chen Yi's artillery support - the most important thing is that there is no front-line Sino-Korean joint army to inform them about the movement of the BETA, and with the rank of second lieutenant now, they are not qualified to raise their arms and shout at all.

Then again, every time a recruit who has a nervous breakdown in battle does not appear, he usually goes crazy when he enters the cockpit, and he will immediately be directly remotely injected with sedatives by his superiors. But if you start dancing like that before boarding the tactical plane, you don't need to think about the sedative, just hit the squad leader and his colleagues with the military boots.

When everyone is abiding by the second-level combat readiness process, casually huddled together on the side of the highway, and expecting this batch of refugees to pass and immediately hit the road at full speed, you suddenly jump out and shout "BETA is coming", that is simply a long life, right?

Fortunately, two minutes later, at most, the latest information about the breakthrough defense BETA had been transmitted, so the squadron leader, who had already been in battle once, quickly issued a boarding order to the whole team. At the same time, suspicious smoke and dust were already floating on the distant horizon.

The flow of refugees crowding the highway seems to have changed much, but if you sweep the line backwards with the shocking head view, you will find that the motorized line seems to be slightly thicker in the direction of the end of the horizon.

"S01 calls each machine, and the presence of the BETA group has been determined in the direction of 1 o'clock ahead."

"The distance is 18000, and the scale is at the wing level (2000-3000)."

"The first squadron rushed forward, and the second and third squadrons deployed along the road on their own, and the crane wings returned to the formation."

Fortunately, Roger and Chen Yi belonged to the 1st Squadron. Therefore, after the two gave the order from above, they had to avoid the refugees while flying the plane to jump to the designated position and build a temporary defensive formation.

At the same time that Roger and the others were all 12 in front of the assault, the refugee ranks clearly began to stir. And not only that, the logistics supply vehicles that were originally in the front convoy also had to go in the opposite direction with Roger and them, trying to retreat to the defense line before the battle, so that the road rush became more and more intensified.

The refugees are obviously all Koreans, and what they are shouting about is impossible for the dispatch army to understand, except for Roger and Chen Yi, but they are already in the shock cockpit at the moment, and it is impossible to waste extra communication channels......

Therefore, before the distant enemy officially appeared, only the tactical aircraft unit and most of the tank units could really be in position as scheduled. The artillery units of the Dispatch Army were still mixed with the refugees, and there were almost no scaffolds in place.

And what is quite in line with the BETA habit is that the first batch of BETA that appeared in Roger's line of sight was indeed an assault class with a speed of at least 100 kilometers per hour.

The BETA Mass, which is similar in height to a tactical aircraft, has always been known for its speed, and of course, the strength and hardness of its frontal carapace are equally impressive, and it is not uncommon for it to be carelessly rushed into the defense line during battle.

As the vanguard of the BETA, these multi-legged streamlined starfish often move a little away from the BETA in the central defense section due to the speed of the straight line, so in normal battles, the assault level should theoretically be handed over to the artillery unit. But this time, due to the drag of the refugees, the artillery unit of the dispatch army did not have time to deploy at all, and this trouble was a bit big......

Of course, this is not to say that tanks and tactical aircraft cannot fight the assault class, but the problem is that these mobile units themselves are not used as fixed-point batteries. In the battle, if the enemy forward unit starts to entangle endlessly, once the BETA team then rushes over, it is not uncommon for the entire human unit to be directly dumpled.

In fact, four years ago, in the 96 operation in the Dalian area of China, the mainland dispatch army was raided by BETA in a similar way just to fight a support battle, and it was fully compensated to two brigades. It is said that the instructor of the Jingu Division was in that battle......

"Cut, why do you seem to be a little distracted? And what happened to some of the details that just popped up? "Roger's tactical machine looked normal on the surface, but only he (and perhaps Chen Yi) knew that for a moment just now, Roger's shock movement was obviously stiff and mechanical.

"Do you want to kill me here, DG?"

"On the contrary, I was just experimenting with how to operate a tactical aircraft without a driver's data acquisition module in the OS."

Compared with the previous attitude of ignoring answers, DG's answer this time was definitely enthusiastic and immediate, but there seemed to be something wrong with this in itself, so knowing that the war was about to start, Roger still couldn't help but continue to ask.

"I thought you'd have assimilated this shock to perfection."

"Your previous order was to prioritize the modification of your teammate's mech. Working without alarming Chen Yi himself was quite more difficult than expected. ”

"Isn't that right? I've already hinted at it to him, so why do you have to hide it from him. ”

"A matter of principle."

Well, this conversation really seems to be a bit of a waste of time, but even the assault level can't surpass the level of mental communication in speed, so Roger still has to frown and ask what he wants to know.

"Is there really a need for you to take over that level of difficulty in this first battle?"

"If you don't want to just have two planes back across the channel."

"It's just an assault level of the size of the wing, even if it is pushed backwards according to the ratio of 7%, there are 40,000 people who can attack...... Wait a minute?! What would be the Legion-level BETA scale? How big of a hole is there in the front line of defense? ”

"The degree of each fight."

"Are you saying that the entire line of defense of the Sino-Korean coalition has collapsed? Impossible, right? That side is the key point of defense for the entire peninsula. ”

"Cheorwon HIVE has been basically completed."

There was a moment of silence in Roger's mind, for the information provided by DG was shocking and obviously different from what he had just heard from his superiors. But if you think about it a little deeper, this is South Korean territory, and it is not surprising that this situation occurred on the battlefield, and it is very suspicious that the two brigades of the 96 Combat Dispatch Army were raided by surprise that year. Even judging from the word "separate battle" used by DG just now, it is estimated that the Huaxia Army has not completely lost its combat effectiveness, otherwise it would have changed to "all annihilated" a long time ago......

"FATCAT-01 calls all machines, distance 2000."

The half sentence that came out of the communication channel was very strange, and the captain seemed to have swallowed some instructions that he should usually follow closely.

He can't be blamed for this, the number of refugees who have left the road and fled in all directions is still quite large, and although there is no targeted massacre in the assault class, the high-speed crushing itself is deadly enough. However, the crux of the matter is that the BETA and the human community at a distance of 2000 (probably not now) are simply mixed.

"Is this the reason for the collapse of the defense line of the Sino-Korean coalition?" Roger's eyes flashed with coldness, but he was also helpless at the moment.

"Extremely fast, assimilating all the dispatched army war machinery, the assault class is completely destroyed, and the civilian population survives three percent." I don't know if this is a sarcasm or a consolation from DG.

Of course, Roger knew that DG deliberately emphasized the reason for the assault level in the previous sentence, and there were theoretically more than 30,000 BETA mixed troops behind, even if he and DG were at full power, the dispatch army that lost its weapons and the remaining less than half of the civilians were still a dead end. Even if there are skills from the previous plane, they are mostly moves used by humans or mechs to fight alone, and are not suitable for one-to-many group fights at all......

“…… All machines, shoot accurately! Presumably, the command system of the dispatch army, which was also in the same dilemma as Roger, could only issue such an ambiguous order after repeated weighing.

The meaning of the so-called precision shooting will definitely not exist in the normal exercise. Theoretically, this requires each guard to be able to hit the assault level before firing. In this way, even if the elimination of BETA will inevitably affect nearby refugees, at least it will not be charged with reckless human life.

But the order is good, and the difficulty of implementation is far from ordinary. AT THE VERY LEAST, ASSAULT GUARDS LIKE ROGER, WHO ARE USUALLY PROFICIENT IN MELEE COMBAT, DON'T DARE TO USE THE TYPE 87 ASSAULT GUN IN THEIR HANDS, BUT CHEN YI TOOK THE LEAD IN SOUNDING THE ROAR OF THE 120MM SMOOTHBORE GUN.

Immediately afterward, artillery support planes of other friendly and neighboring forces also opened fire one after another.

In the first wave of shelling, about dozens of people fell as soon as they were hit by bullets, but this was obviously only a drop in the bucket of the BETA shock formation, and there were also two or three refugee vehicles affected by the shelling, let alone on foot.

"Two of two, you adjusted Chen Yi's shock well."

"There are too many personal elements attached to the weapon system and it has not been modified."

Roger, who originally wanted to gag, was coldly blocked back by DG, who didn't seem to have any emotional factors in his voice, but Roger seemed to understand the reason why DG had always been wary of Chen Yi......

The shelling continues, and it must continue.

At first, there were still only artillery support planes, and as the distance got closer, the tank unit and Roger's melee aircraft were gradually forced to open fire. The cries of humans in the smoke began to grow clearer......

Of course, there are those who were accidentally injured by the flying shrapnel and have not been directly killed for a while, and there are also those who have been directly hit or stepped on by the assault-level BETA, struggling to swallow the last breath. Of course, there are many more who are deafened by the explosions and shockwaves around them, and no matter how hysterical they shout, they can't even hear their own voice.

Blood and fire are intertwined, hell on earth.

The BETA main battle class does not have extra sound organs, so whether it is directly bombarded, or torn off half of its body, the assault class, which can still fall to the ground and convulse, never makes a sound. But even if this ugly and hideous alien species does not move, their very existence is to construct that living hell.

Not to mention that some assault classes that have flipped to the ground on their sides will still instinctively raise their lower limbs to trample on the humans that may exist around them......

"Distance 500, 1st squadron, retreat." This is an order from the captain of the brigade.

"No!"

A hoarse and shrill voice came from the communication channel - of course, this was not either Roger and Chen Yi - a certain assault vanguard aircraft 200 meters to Roger's right completely ignored the captain's order, and then he not only used the 36MM machine gun, but even started the engine of the tactical aircraft at full power and began to actively rush in the direction of the BETA.

"FATCAT-19, don't be impulsive!" "FATCAT-19, obey orders! Come back immediately!! ”

The communication channel was noisy, but the sudden shock did not mean to turn its head in the slightest.

And it's not just him, in the blink of an eye, there are even four or five shocks that have rushed out of the city. Among them, there were even one or two assault gun shells that had already run out, and the guards simply dropped their empty guns and pulled out the 74-type long knives behind their backs.

If Roger remembers correctly, those were all recruits who were contemporaries of his time and were on the battlefield for the first time.

Two minutes later, Roger's first squadron was still at a distance of 500 from the assault-class strikers—because they had been strictly following the captain's instructions to retreat—and the previous impulsive shocks had been completely submerged in the remaining nearly a thousand assault-class BETAs.

"The amount of residual ammunition is still within the normal range, I really didn't expect that guy Chen Yi to be able to retreat obediently without saying a word." Roger's heart rate was slightly faster, which was also within normal range, and he was forcing himself to consider the above questions objectively and calmly.

DG's voice rang out unexpectedly. "Shock, number five. Assault class breakdown, number sixty-two. Type 87 support assault gun, hit twenty-seven. Chen Yi, hit six. ”

"In less than two minutes, keep the retreat posture and still hit six? You want to say that guy is hotter than I thought? Roger, who had gradually become accustomed to DG's expression, quickly understood what the other party wanted to say.

This time there was no answer to the previous question, "This machine has 120 guns, 4 shots, 1 hit." ”

"So what? At least I'm much calmer than that guy! Or do you want me to rush in with you, so that you can get more human and alien biomaterials directly? Roger's right hand subconsciously clenched the joystick.

There was no answer, as if the words were just plain mockery.

……

The remaining nearly 1,000 assault-level BETAs were finally completely wiped out five minutes later, and the sending army also paid the price of dozens of tactical aircraft. The tank units in the front line were completely wiped out, and the South Korean civilians suffered countless casualties.

Roger didn't believe the so-called black eight minutes, but at this moment, dozens of recruits had lost their lives in front of him, and when the order was given from above, most of the remaining recruits were also obviously sedative.

Chen Yi was doing everything normally, and the squadron leader made a special trip to express encouragement to the new ace shooter's hit rate. It's a pity that only people like Roger, who has been with him for more than half a year, can see that although Chen Yi answered the squadron leader decently, there was not even the slightest emotion in that guy's eyes.

"Are you afraid of him? DG? ”

"You're the one who is afraid."
