419 narrowly won
Despite the overwhelming superiority of human firepower, there were only about twenty commandos and forty temporary members on the human side, and more than a dozen temporary members were assigned to other positions to defend, including a few low-ranking holes on the side and fire points on the ship's ridge.
There is an average of more than five meters on the more than 200-meter-long city wall, and the helpless reality causes the firepower of the city's humans to not reach the necessary strength, which gives the outer skeleton people an opportunity to take advantage of.
Four machine guns were arranged on both sides of the city wall, and although the crossfire eliminated a large number of Exoskeletons, they could not be hit under the city walls at all due to the angle problem, and this loophole, which was not a loophole, gave the Outer Skeletons who broke through the fire net a chance to breathe.
Braving the rain of bullets and bullets, the outer skeleton man rushed to the city wall directly on the wall, curled up his limbs and lay under the foot of the wall, like building a brick made of bones under the city wall.
The enemy who followed him learned from him, and he clenched his limbs and lay down on his companion's body, and in this way he stacked up layer after layer like a building block, as if he wanted to build another wall of outer skeletons outside the city walls.
The soldiers invariably turned their guns and fired vertically at the wall, trying to take out the "bricks" that were constantly being erected, but the enemy stubbornly did not move, knowing that they would be shot, allowing the dense bullets to penetrate their bodies.
The bullet pierced the Exoskeleton's body, and brown blood flowed out of the bullet hole, gradually taking their life away, but the Exoskeleton under the wall remained motionless until death came.
The dead Outer Bone Man can still keep his original posture unchanged!
The sturdy bone armor is the best support, and more and more of the outer skeletons are dying in the rain of bullets from humans. The bone wall has also been constantly being built.
The commandos are veterans who have been fighting against the Outer Bone Man for many years, and they are well aware of the characteristics of the Outer Bone Man who do not want to die in battle, so they are not affected in the slightest.
But most of the temporary team members only heard about the Exoskeleton Man, and after witnessing all this, their hearts were more or less affected, and some of them even stopped shooting in horror.
The scissors kicked down a soldier who had stopped shooting, and shouted: "What the do you want, shoot me if you don't want to die!" β
The fighters suddenly woke up like a dream, and the gradually thinning bullets became dense again.
"Grenade-" Ye Fei wasted no time in yelling, taking off the grenade on his waist and throwing it out of the wall. "Grenade guns - dive shot!"
The explosion of the grenade is inconspicuous on a battlefield where the gunfire is dense. However, the bone wall, which was not afraid of bullets, could not withstand the shock wave of the explosion, and was blown up in one piece.
The commandos were unhurried and threw grenades in turn, although there was a little effect on the shooting. But it's not obvious. The temporary team members were a little scattered. A swarm of grenades was thrown. The density of the bullet rain on the wall dropped by more than half in an instant.
"Shoot me, grenades in turns!" Ye Feihuo hit it upward, eager to kick it alone.
He knew that the soldiers were not to blame. But I just couldn't suppress the anger in my heart.
Although these temporary members have received a certain amount of training, in essence, they are still a technical arm of long-distance combat.
The most important characteristic of the combat of the technical and technical arms is that they are beyond the visual range, and the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers is often tens of thousands of kilometers, and the eyes cannot see where the enemy is at all, and can only aim at the target through instruments and data.
They are also soldiers, but because of the different combat environments, there are few sturdy nerves like commandos.
The ten-meter-high walls were almost the same as face to face for the warriors who were accustomed to not seeing the enemy, and it was strange not to panic.
The commandos hurriedly stood up and began to instruct the temporary team members around them on how to fight, and the situation on the city wall immediately changed, and both shooting and bombing became much smoother.
At the same time, dozens of grenades fell from the sky, instantly blowing up the bone wall under the city wall, completely eliminating the hidden danger.
After receiving Ye Fei's order, the three grenade machine guns immediately stopped firing, but the connection between the ship's ridge and the side was not a right angle, but a smooth transition of the arc, so standing on the ship's ridge could not see the city wall at all, let alone hit the grenade under the city wall.
But the order had to be carried out, and the three team members pulled out the magnetic buckle and fastened it to the ship's ridge, stepped on the gradually sloping outer armor and quickly ran down the ship's ridge, until they ran up the vertical side and saw the city wall parallel to the ground, then stopped on the spot, picked up the grenade machine gun and began to shoot.
If it hadn't been for a moment's delay, there would have been no need for the soldiers on the city walls to throw grenades.
After the threat under the city walls was lifted, the three commandos simply hung in the air without getting up or down, raising their guns and shooting far down, but they were more agile and maneuverable than staying on the ship's ridge.
Not only did the soldiers above and below the city walls fight with all their might, but the landing craft that took off were also unwilling to be lonely, and the machine guns and cannons were constantly splashing death.
The Exoskeletons that rushed under the walls were quickly depleted, but at this critical moment, a large group of Exoskeletons who had just arrived rushed into the war zone, and long-range firepower such as mortars and Gatling had to give up attacking the enemy at close range, and the target was changed to the Outer Skeletons in the distance.
The battle instantly heated up, with gunfire, cannonballs, and ricochet shells mingling into an alternative tidal wave, and the smoke of gunpowder rising into the sky.
Ye Fei secretly rejoiced while shooting, fortunately, the outer bone people of these two groups also had long-range attack abilities such as corrosive balls, otherwise the battle would not have been fought.
After the bone wall was destroyed, a large number of corpses of the Outer Skeleton were piled up under the city wall, and the Outer Skeleton Man simply didn't build any walls, and directly stepped on the pile of corpses piled up under the wall and climbed up, and the Outer Skeleton Man behind even dragged the corpses of the Outer Skeleton who died on the way to the charge and threw them under the wall!
Ye Fei was shocked, with the number of external bone people, it was definitely not a problem to pile up a ten-meter-high slope with corpses! But he couldn't think of a good way to do it for a while, so he could only throw a few grenades every once in a while and crash into the corpses piled up under the wall.
Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers wearing only light armor rushed out of the rear passage with messy equipment, and rushed to the city wall in a puff of smoke, and Xiao Qiang, the leader, shouted out of breath: "No. 1." One, the laser cannon is coming! β
Ye Fei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Quick, send it up!" β
"Huh?"
"Ah what? Don't hurry up yet! "The battle is tight, Ye Feihuo is so angry that he almost opens his mouth to curse.
"One, this is a laser cannon removed from the main gun, there is no battery, it must be installed before it can be used!" Xiao Qiang wanted to be euphemistic, but at this juncture, how could there be that American time? It's better to go straight ahead.
Ye Fei, whose mind was full of battles, realized that he was dizzy: "Hurry up and install it...... How many are there? β
"Two. I just opened it and sent it over. Xiao Qiang said.
Ye Fei said without thinking: "There is a hole in the hull on the left. It's all packed there. β
Xiao Qiang led the soldiers to more than twenty meters to the left side of the rift, where a large piece of armor seemed to have been bitten off by something, forming a hole that was small on the outside and large on the inside, and the cavitation-like hole could accommodate seven or eight people. It's just that the opening to the outside of the ship is too small. Only twenty centimeters long, seven or eight centimeters wide, not to mention. The position is still oblique.
"This is a nice place!" Xiao Qiang said with satisfaction.
You can see the situation outside through the breach, and this hole is basically level with the skin of the stubborn beast outside, which is a good firepower point.
If it weren't for the fact that the breach was too small. Ye Fei had arranged the machine gun fortress here early in the morning, and it was not Xiao Qiang's turn at all.
"Quick!" Xiao Qiang waved his hand, everyone immediately got busy, one soldier erected an egg-thick steel pipe at the position designated by Xiao Qiang, and the other soldier immediately showed the laser welding gun, welded the steel pipe to the ground in a few clicks, and then cut off the steel pipe at a suitable height, and finally welded the cardan shaft of the laser emitter above the steel pipe.
The main body of the laser is a roughly rectangular shape, with a spherical cardan shaft connected to the bottom of the cuboid, which looks very delicate and precise. There is a thick tube at one end of the cuboid, and that's where the laser shoots out.
"Done!" Several fighters shouted in unison.
Another group of fighters, two seconds behind, also finished welding.
"Cableβ" Xiao Qiangqiang roared.
"It's coming!" Several fighters struggled to drag the fist-thick cable backwards into the hole, expertly peeling off the insulating skin behind the two fingers and carefully attaching the finger-thick copper core to the tail of the laser emitter.
"Good!" The fighters snapped the insulating cover and completed the connection of the cables.
"Power up!" Shaw forced himself to order.
"Power on!" The location of the crack is not far from the reactor, and the fighters can solve the problem of power supply by connecting a cable directly from the reactor.
The power-on indicator on the laser transmitter suddenly flashed, and there was no need for the soldiers to answer, Xiao Qiang also knew that the laser cannon was ready to be launched.
He grabbed the improvised steering gear at the rear of the launcher and pressed the firing button suddenly.
The so-called shooting button is actually the power-on button, when the laser is still a part of the main gun, the power-on time and intensity are all controlled by the computer, but now all changed to manual.
The light at the front of the laser flashed slightly, and a finger-thick laser pierced the breach accurately, Xiao Qiang rotated the laser, and the powerful light directly cut through the armor more than ten centimeters thick around the hole, and in the wisps of green smoke, the molten steel splashed in all directions.
The armor-piercing lasers even cut off several of the Exoskeletons.
When Xiao Qiang stopped, the original two palm-sized breaches had turned into a narrow window twenty centimeters wide and more than four meters long.
The hole was completely transformed into a fortified bunker.
Xiao Qiangchong, the soldier who controlled another laser, tilted his head: "Come on, cooperate!" After speaking, he took the lead in starting the laser, and a laser shot out of the narrow window, and then Xiao Qiang pulled the laser horizontally, and the laser immediately swept across the battlefield.
Ye Fei, who was fighting hard, just ran out of a magazine, and when the magazine was changed halfway, he saw an inconspicuous light on the battlefield flickering slightly, and the outer bone figure of the charge was cut by an invisible giant blade, at least hundreds of enemies were cut off by the waist, and a large piece suddenly fell, or the kind where the lower body kicked and kicked randomly, and the two arms were slapped, and the upper body crawled randomly.
As soon as the first laser dissipated, the other laser swept across the battlefield again, and the grief-stricken outer skeleton fell again.
The warriors on the city wall shot again and again, and after destroying the enemy under the wall, they suddenly found that there were no more outer skeletons rushing over, and the cheers suddenly resounded in the sky.
The first two groups of outsiders who took the initiative to attack were completely lost, and the group of enemies who had just arrived took the initiative to retreat after paying the price of thousands of killed, and once they retreated, it was more than ten kilometers. Good and dead withdrew from the range of mortars several kilometers away.
Although the process was a bit dangerous, it eliminated more than 20,000 outer bone people, successfully completed Ye Fei's pre-battle planning, and the enemy's strength was greatly damaged, and he lost the strength to attack again in a short time, buying a period of valuable time for the battleship.
The soldiers let out a long sigh of relief, but Ye Fei's nerves tightened.
Although this battle dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the enemy, it also exposed the strength of one's own side. There are many smart people among the Outer Skeletons, and the next attack will never be a battle of 20,000 men.
Don't let the enemy sit idle!
Ye Fei thought darkly.
Rocket artillery can hit the enemy's position, but the stock of rockets is far less than mortar shells. He was reluctant to waste it on harassment warfare.
However, the use of rocket artillery does not mean that harassment is abandoned. Ye Fei thought silently for a while, then ordered Ni Hong to send the three snipers of the Ninth Squadron to carry out the harassment mission.
A sniper means a lethal blow to a single enemy, but what is the loss of 1,800 exoskeletons to the enemy?
Ye Fei sat on the city wall with a gun, exhaled lightly and said to the radio, "Scissors." Come here. β
"It's coming!" Dozens of meters away. Scissors got up with guns in their hands. Stepping over the warrior who fell on the wall, he strode over to Ye Fei and sat down, "What's the matter?" β
"How's the starboard gun compartment?"
"Gun bay?" Scissors hesitated. "It doesn't seem to be a problem, and I haven't taken care of it yet."
He subconsciously looked deep into the breach, where there was a broken starboard heavy gun accelerator...... If the gun compartment is damaged, the detonation of tens of thousands of shells is no joke, and it is impossible not to see the slightest indication.
"You work harder, take a few people to the gun bay to have a look, and dismantle the rapid-fire cannon for me." Ye Fei instructed.
"No problem, leave it to me." Scissors patting the chest for a guarantee.
The battle did not last very long, and the power assist system of the combat armor contributed more than people, and everyone was not tired, but more psychologically exhausted.
Scissors called a few familiar warriors out of the city walls and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Ye Fei raised his eyes and looked at the sun that was already slanting to the west, and said in his heart that it had been six or seven hours, why was the sun still hanging so high? How many hours does it take to make a circle around this planet?
I was looking at the sky and suddenly noticed that there were two more small black dots on the sun, and they were getting bigger and bigger.
It's a landing craft!
Ye Fei immediately realized what it was, and told the soldiers on the city wall to strengthen their vigilance, and he left the city wall alone and climbed the ship's ridge.
The landing craft approached quickly, hovered over the battleship and landed on the ridge.
The landing craft jumped out of the air and ran in front of Ye Fei in a few steps and stretched out his arms: "Boss!" It's great that you didn't have anything to do! β
"Fuck off, I don't have anything to do with you!" Ye Fei said incomprehensible words in his mouth, and hugged the tall black bear, "You won't come back until the battle is over, you're really in a hurry!" β
The black bear let go of Ye Fei, and said with a smile: "You didn't say that the fight would start here, I didn't know that I wouldn't come back sooner?" β
As he spoke, the landing craft descended, and dozens of soldiers in light armor jumped down, and when they saw Ye Fei, the officers leading the team hurriedly formed the team.
"Alright, alright." Ye Fei hurriedly stopped, "When has this been, still engaging in this kind of formal thing?" Hurry up and take someone down to clean up, the battle still has to be fought. β
"Yes!" The officers hurriedly took away the fighters who had not yet lined up.
At this time, Scissors climbed up with a few fighters, and then pulled up the rapid-fire cannon with nanoropes, along with a dozen boxes of shells.
"Hey, you're okay kid, are you?" The black bear unceremoniously punched the scissors.
"What can I do? A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory! Scissors rolled his eyes and waved at the soldiers behind him, and everyone immediately moved the rapid-fire gun to the edge of the ship's ridge to hold it in place.
Ye Fei frowned: "Such a cannonball? Who's-"
The officer who was about to lead the team down the ridge immediately ran over: "Captain! β
"Take people down and pack them up, and then mobilize everyone to bring up the shells in the starboard gun compartment." Ye Fei commanded softly.
"Yes!" The officer turned and ran away.
Ye Fei took a look, yes, this guy definitely didn't give the soldiers time to clean up, and directly arranged for the soldiers to move the shells.
But now the situation is changing rapidly, and it would have been better to transport it earlier, so he didn't call the officer.
The black bear over there slapped the rapid-fire cannon and asked curiously, "What are you bringing this guy up for?" β
"What else can you do?" Scissors gave a thumbs up and pretended to gesture, "Beat the outer bone mongrel!" β
There is a laser rangefinder on the armor, and the accuracy can reach millimeters, and there is no need for such a rough ranging method as the jumping eye method, and the scissors do not understand this method that only artillery can use.
"Huh?" The black bear put his hand on his forehead and looked at the position of the enemy army, "Condescending, barely able to, right?" β
"It's good if it hits the place, no matter what the hell it's doing? It really doesn't work, I put the rapid-fire gun on the landing craft and beat it up like a dog. Ye Fei walked to the side of the rapid-fire cannon and stopped to look into the distance.
"Bang-" In the distance, the dull sound of a sniper rifle came, and Ye Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Before the black bear could say something, the two soldiers fiddling with the rapid-fire cannon suddenly stood up: "Report to the regiment commander, the rapid-fire cannon is ready for shooting!" The report just happened to block what the black bear was going to say.
Ye Fei took two steps back: "Let's start, don't give me face." β
"Yes!" The two warriors replied dryly.
One pulled through the shell box and stuck the chain at the tail of the gun, and the other soldier raised the muzzle of the gun until the barrel rose forty-five degrees.
"Ready-to-go!"
The rapid-fire cannon trembled rapidly, and a series of shells whistled into the air, as if flying slowly towards the gathering place of the outer skeletons more than ten kilometers away. (To be continued......)
