Chapter 49: Spike

If practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, then actual combat is the ultimate test of the performance of weapons and equipment.

Gathering experts from materials, medicine, machinery, physics, mathematics, computer and other fields, the advanced weapons and equipment laboratory spent a lot of manpower and material resources to launch the 'human exoskeleton battle armor', also known as 'metal skeleton', officially entered the actual combat test.

The Huaxia Legion Zhanlong Special Operations Brigade, which was responsible for this task, finally selected a small coral island and sent a total of four squads to participate in the monster eradication operation.

The comprehensive training performance of the first squad ranks first among the 14 squads, and this battle must be the main force.

Before setting off, Ling Hao obtained intelligence materials in various aspects, including meteorology, hydrology, and aviation reconnaissance, and completed the deployment of combat missions overnight.

This coral island is very similar to the crescent moon island that Ling Hao once fought on, there are not many ants and insects on the island, mainly crocodile beasts, and there may be a small number of giant crabs, bantam turtles and other reptile monsters.

Ling Hao combined the characteristics and specialties of each person and made a clear arrangement of battlefield duties.

'Meat Tower' Fan Shaohui, as a heavy machine gunner, formed a heavy firepower group with Wu Tian, who was good at anti-armor, and Chen Jiaqiang, who was good at directional blasting, while Fatal, Dai Li, Deng Hua, and Cao Guichuan formed an attack group, and Ling Hao, Hu Hai, Jiang Da, and Qian Wei formed a support group.

Among the three groups, the attack group is mainly responsible for the frontal main attack, the heavy fire group provides fire support, and the support group is mainly responsible for support and fire replenishment.

After clarifying the battlefield responsibilities, Ling Hao, as the temporary acting captain, and the deputy captain went to count the equipment and receive ammunition overnight.

The next day, dawn.

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning had not yet appeared, accompanied by a roar, the four heavily armed teams participating in the combat test mission took a large transport plane to the base of the extinct volcanic island, and then transferred to the coral island in front of the eight transport helicopters.

Because of the large number of heavy weapons and ammunition they carried, each squad flew in two helicopters, and the base also arranged for two helicopter gunships to escort them, and an additional medium transport helicopter to deliver several tons of ammunition.

The helicopter fleet flies at an altitude of thousands of meters, between the blue sky and white clouds, bathed in golden sunlight.

The blue sea is calm and the sea is extremely wide, and the remote coral island is like a brilliant green jewel set in the sea.

There was a roar of noise in the cabin, and everyone had a high fighting spirit written on their faces.

Since entering the War Dragon Special Operations Brigade, it has been high-intensity training at every turn, and it has been a long time since it has returned to the battlefield, and now that it has returned to the battlefield, it will fight monsters again, and everyone's hearts are full of manic excitement.

After glancing at his tactical watch, Ling Hao clapped his hands to attract the attention of the team members in the cabin.

"Now, let's check the gear!"

Ling Hao shouted loudly, and at the same time, he pointed his right index finger and middle finger at his eyes, and used gestures to tell everyone that it was time to do a combat inspection.

The group slowly lowered its flight altitude, and the coral island, which looked like a green bracelet, was already in front of you, and the translucent blue lake in the middle of the island was beautiful, like a mirror embedded in the island.

A helicopter gunship at the forefront roared past at a low altitude and randomly exploded several machine gun shells for fire reconnaissance, causing the water in the lake inside the island to splash and ripple, and the grass and trees on the shore were broken, and the movement was quite large.

"Ready in a minute!" The mechanic shouted a reminder.

The two transport helicopters of the first squad took the lead and took the lead in breaking away from the group, and under the fire of the armed helicopters and transport helicopters circling in the air, they selected a relatively flat and gentle slope to carry out a rapid landing.

As soon as they arrived on the ground, the first squad immediately deployed according to the established plan, covering the other three squadrons to complete the landing one after another.

The roar of the helicopter had already awakened all the animals on this coral island, so when the landing continued, several juvenile crocodile beasts had already rushed over.

"Attack group, kill them!"

As soon as Ling Hao's words fell, Deng Hua and Cao Guichuan stepped forward, pressed the shooting switch, and with the drive of the DC motor, the six 7.62 mm caliber barrels rotated at high speed, and immediately burst out of a dazzling line of fire.

I only heard the sound of explosion, the countless shells falling from the jingling bells beside the two people, and the 3,000-round automatic ammunition feeding receiver on the back, which continuously fed the bullets into the ammunition feeder through the bullet chain, and quickly completed the off-chain loading and firing under the drive of the motor.

The two dazzling lines of fire swept away accurately, and in an instant, I saw several juvenile crocodile beasts rushing wildly, as if they had hit a meat grinder head-on, and in a moment, they were beaten to a splatter of flesh and blood, and in a few seconds, they became a blurred pool of flesh and blood.

Turning off the shooting switch, the barrel that was spinning at high speed continued to rotate for a while before it came to an abrupt halt.

And on the ground of the two-man firing position, a large number of bullet casings have been sprinkled, and for a rapid-fire machine gun with a combat rate of fire of up to thousands of rounds per minute, hundreds of rounds may have completed its mission in a few seconds.

"Tsk, that's amazing!"

"If only there were a few more!"

After shooting, Deng Hua and Cao Guichuan were overjoyed, obviously very satisfied with the benefits brought by the metal bones in vitro, if it was before, the multi-barreled rapid-fire machine gun that exceeded 25 kg without bullets, they would never dare to pick it up and shoot wildly.

Today, they not only carry wild shots, but also carry 3,000 rounds of ammunition on their backs, and they lift their weights lightly, and most of the vibration and reaction force when shooting are absorbed by the metal bones, and the human body does not feel tired at all.

Killing a few underage crocodile beasts in seconds is indeed just a small episode on the battlefield.

As the last team landed, with the two teams as an attack line, the two lines rushed to the left and right, and began to wipe out the monsters on the island.

The first team led by Ling Hao was in a V-shaped formation, advancing parallel to the third team not far away, like a comb, slowly combing the coral island clean.

"Watch your step, slow down!"

"Watch out for toothed rats and bantam turtles!"

Searching all the way forward, teammates reminded each other to move forward slowly, and soon ushered in the first wave of monsters, they were complex, there were ants, insects, crocodiles, and a few monsters similar to black bears, rushing out of the small forest, very fast.

"Prepare for battle!!"

Ling Hao shouted loudly, and it reached the ears of every team member through the radio headset.

The main attack task is still the attack group, under the leadership of the four people, the multi-barrel rapid-fire machine guns in their hands quickly played a death overture, and the high-speed spray of bullets rushed away.

Like a death scythe, the raging monsters were torn to pieces of flesh before they could scream, and a large number of shrubs and tropical trees were also broken and collapsed, becoming the burial objects of the monsters.

And the third squad on the other side, after quickly strangling a group of monsters, the front continued to push forward in a flat line, and the same was true for the other front, under the domineering attack of high-velocity weapons, the small monsters couldn't parry at all, and could only be blown into minced meat.

However, the good times were short-lived.

The large crocodile beasts that love to live along the lake suddenly woke up, roaring and screaming like never before, and rushed towards them like raging armored vehicles, knocking over a large number of bushes and rushing towards them with their hooves.

This time, the attack group alone was not enough.

The heavy firepower group coordinated by Fan Shaohui also pressed up, and Fan Shaohui, who was tall and mighty like a meat tower, was directly carrying a 25 mm single-barreled automatic machine gun.

Knock knock knock......

The gun's gunfire was extremely ferocious, and one after another armor-piercing bullets slammed into the crocodile's body, sending the scorching blast wave and shrapnel into a carnival of death.

Almost at the same time, Wu Tian, who was holding a 38mm multi-barrel grenade launcher, continued to shoot anti-armor anti-personnel grenades into the vicinity of the crocodile beast, and in the turbulent explosion of the air wave, several crocodile beasts exploded into flesh and blood on the spot.

The 12.7mm heavy machine gun in Chen Jiaqiang's hand also burst out with ferocious firepower at the right time, and the frenzied strafing of waves of death bullets rained down.

The super firepower was very powerful, and Ling Hao had already ended it before he even let the support group participate in the battle.

Such a perverted attack power really made everyone feel a sense of horror, if in the previous foot combat, at least one mechanized infantry platoon would dare to fight with this group of crocodile beasts.

But now, the attack group and the heavy fire team are only 7 people, and they don't even have the strength of a machine infantry squad, but they have destroyed seven or eight fierce crocodile beasts in minutes.

"Damn, can you be gentle, I haven't fired a single shot!"

Hu Hai, the 'veterinarian' who walked behind the team, had long been eager to shoot a few shuttle machine guns to enjoy it.

"Come on, just their virtue, don't think about the scraps!"

Qian Wei held a light machine gun and followed Ling Hao leisurely, he could feel that the captain was actually not enjoying it, but he didn't say it.

After continuing to walk a few hundred meters, seeing that he was about to join another front, Qian Wei finally couldn't hold back to express his opinion.

"Captain, why don't you let the heavy fireteam rest and rest in a while, shall we go? It's not like we'll go back without firing a shot, that's too ......."

Ling Hao was not in a hurry, but he also had to admit that the firepower of the current squad was almost as powerful as a machine company, and the groups of monsters were almost enough.

And what about himself?

In order to pursue the first hit rate and at the same time simplify the bolt mechanism to ensure stability, the large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle is designed to be non-automatic, and the bolt must be pulled once to unload the case.

Ling Hao asked the weapons experts in the laboratory to improve a semi-automatic large-caliber sniper rifle, in fact, he also wanted to find a few monsters to try how effective the improvement was, but obviously, the monsters were not enough to enjoy the first two groups.

"Don't worry, there will be a time when you will be asked to fire!"

Ling Hao could only comfort Qian Wei and continued to command the team to move forward to clear and advance, but he faintly looked forward to whether the crocodile beasts that had appeared on Crescent Island last time could appear on this circular coral island.

The crocodile beast really did not disappoint Ling Hao, and when the four squads of the two fronts were about to meet, the sea off the island and reef suddenly swelled with ripples.

A crocodile beast that had been killed with Ling Hao on Crescent Island appeared domineeringly with fluttering waves.

Of course, it was not greeted by flowers and applause, but by an unprecedented rain of guns and shells, and all members of the four squads fired a volley of fire, setting off a hurricane of death.
