Chapter 475: The Price of the Mission
Chi Xing's weather is extremely extreme, it seems that it is only divided into winter and summer, and the temperature difference between day and night is also frightening, obviously the eggs on the stone can be cooked a few hours ago, and after night, the cold wind from the pavement is like a knife.
The Chiming battlefield was already very familiar to Chen Fengxiao, but the cold wind from the shop tonight had a little more inexplicable taste.
In front of Chen Fengxiao, it was a desolate road, as if it had been stretching to the end of the sky, and at the end of the road was the territory occupied by the imperial people.
Although the road chosen by Chen Fengxiao this time is remote and desolate, for the Imperial Army, unless the troops on the ground are near complex karst landforms or magnetic ore veins, theoretically, for them, there should be no dead ends in the area of the front line.
However, they had been driving into the Qingxi Plateau for more than five hours, but along the way, although there was the cover of air power, they did not encounter any reconnaissance planes from the Imperial Army, let alone snipers from the Empire, everything was so quiet, and the silence was a little too much.
If it weren't for the wreckage of mecha and armored vehicles still remaining on the plains in the distance, it would even make people wonder if this was still the late star battlefield known as the meat grinder, but a tourist attraction.
When things go wrong, there must be demons, and Chen Fengxiao, who is blindly quiet, thinks that this is not a good thing.
This only shows that the Imperial people noticed something, but the other party still did not give any reaction, which made him feel a little puzzled.
Although Chen Fengxiao is not good at military law or the way of scheming, he can feel that this mission may be a little unusual just by intuition.
In order to keep the large force from getting out of touch, the locomotive basically kept moving at a constant speed of ten kilometers.
After the seventh hour of marching, in the holographic tactical board in Chen Fengxiao's hand, it could already be seen that their position was less than four kilometers away from Sangjiang City, where the Imperial Army was stationed. Even from the front, you can see the deployment of the Imperial Army.
They had already entered the range of the Imperial Army patrol.
Chen Fengxiao stopped the locomotive, and led a team of more than a dozen people to creep cautiously to the edge of the cliff, taking out a tactical telescope and staring at the city in the distance.
Around the city, there are sporadic guard camps, and occasionally you can see patrols in teams, and you can even see a few mechs transporting some large metal boxes, and I don't know what kind of supplies are being hit inside.
However, seeing this, Chen Fengxiao felt more and more that their unit was really veritable cannon fodder, facing possible mecha attacks. They don't have many mechs in their own hands.
And he had listened to Shi Chen's warning, don't use those biological mechas.
Thinking of this, Chen Fengxiao's heart tightened slightly, he took the anti-armor equipment sniper rifle behind him into his hand, and casually pressed the prepared magazine into the body of the gun.
This gun was also designed by the group of madmen he asked the Yuechi Military Institute of Physics at a high price, and this sniper rifle is not only long range and high accuracy, but also has a magazine that can feed three rows at the same time.
This allows Chen Fengxiao to switch between sniper armor-piercing shells, high-explosive shells and grenades without changing the magazine, which theoretically means that the weaker armor of the mecha can be successfully penetrated.
But. This kind of big guy with terrifying recoil and extremely precise calculations can only be used well by a guy like Chen Fengxiao, who is not bad in physique and has a relatively good brain.
And the combat boots under their feet are also specially made for this assault operation, and can easily pierce the granite grip spikes. It allows them to easily walk on steep slopes.
Chen Fengxiao glanced at Ye Mengqi and Ma Yuming on the side, reported the location and attack signal to the expeditionary force, and then dispersed the troops into forty units, leading their respective troops to bend their bodies one after another. I began to trot down the cliff, and after a while, I reached the bottom of the cliff without danger.
Chen Fengxiao tightened the ties and straps throughout his combat uniform and sped up. Led a group of new crusaders to rush towards the city at a constant speed of twenty kilometers.
In the distance, you can see anti-aircraft artillery and rockets shooting high into the air from the city, and the originally silent sky once again resounded with the roar of all-domain fighters.
It was the covering force that the Federation Expeditionary Force had sent for their operation, and with them attracting Imperial firepower, they could buy some time for a surprise attack on their side.
At least at this moment, this tactic seems to have been successful, and the fire and smoke rising in the city can already be seen in the distance, and the entire Xicheng District, which is facing them, is almost paralyzed.
“GO! GO! GO! GO! Keep up! Chen Fengxiao picked up speed again and rushed into the battle-torn city with his elite troops!
After Chen Fengxiao and the others cautiously infiltrated the city, the fierce air defense battle had just come to an end, and there was a multi-functional light armored vehicle parked near the city's military factory, and the muzzle of the anti-aircraft gun on the car pointed at the surrounding all-domain fighters that were still circling, and from time to time a shot was fired.
The caliber of the anti-aircraft guns is not outstanding, but the power of the artillery fire is surprisingly large, and the accuracy of the artillery fire is also somewhat high, and it has already knocked down four all-domain planes of the Federation in a row.
In the building next to the armored car, more than a dozen heavily armed Imperial soldiers were dragging several comrades who had been unfortunate enough to be hit by shrapnel into the factory, apparently wounded in the previous high-altitude bombardment.
Chen Fengxiao originally interrupted with a small force to bypass them, after all, their mission this time was to raid and lure the enemy, so it was naturally good to choose a better target at one time, and under this consideration, it should naturally be an arsenal, a large military factory, a hospital, or if you are lucky enough, you can also go out and do a big deal when you encounter the command of the imperial army.
However, apparently Chen Fengxiao's good luck came to an end, and after a dull gunshot, the head of an adjutant next to Chen Fengxiao was directly lifted off, and blood suddenly splashed all over his face.
Just as Chen Fengxiao turned his head, another bullet hit the wall behind him, splashing a cloud of sand.
"Damn! Avoid! Fight back! Chen Fengxiao lowered the head of a young soldier beside him who was still stunned by the sudden death, and without thinking about it, he directly shot an armor-piercing projectile at the armored car.
With a bang, the upper perimeter of the entire armored vehicle collapsed, and flames erupted, and the attacking Imperial soldiers also flew into the air with the smoke of gunpowder.
Immediately, another grenade was fired directly at the munitions factory, and with a loud thunderous sound, the entire exit collapsed.
And this seemed to be just a signal, at the same time, the entire city of large machine factories, quartermaster camps and even food processing factories rose in the violent explosion of smoke and fire.
Obviously, the other squads did a much better job than they did.
This should be half the task.
Just when all the soldiers in the squad were mentally relaxed, a low roar suddenly came from the end of the street.
Chen Fengxiao's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly in the communication channel: "Mission accomplished!" Evacuate! ”
The sound was nothing else, it was the roar of a mecha! And there's more than one mech, it's the roaring mixture of engines that only mech squads have.
Chen Fengxiao's voice had just fallen, and a mecha had already appeared in everyone's field of vision, with the opening of the airborne Gatling, the street in front of him suddenly spewed up one after another, like a wild dragon that extended, when he heard several screams, one person's leg was directly penetrated, one person's arm was broken, and the last one was much more unlucky, the entire waist was swept twice, and half of the body flew directly.
Although the terrible casualty rate had already been expected when they took on this mission, when this moment really came, these soldiers from the lowest level of the Federation all fell into a brief panic, and it was still in Chen Fengxiao's angry shouts that they made their own tactical moves, covering each other and retreating, avoiding possible follow-up strikes.
Bowing down and looking back at the mecha pouring out like a torrent of steel, Chen Fengxiao's heart was a little settled, but infinite sadness emerged.
Although this bodes well for the success of their mission, the price to pay is too great, and is it too smooth? (To be continued......)
