Chapter 9: Goodbye "Hanging Tail"

An electronically synthesized sound was heard from the cabin, and the reading meter indicating the time of the airdrop also lit up. Zipf star is mainly composed of 8o% ice, and the rest of the material is carbon. There are no stars around, so Zipf is a dark star, and the weak gravitational pull can barely grasp anything, so the airdrop needs additional forced thrust, otherwise it is likely to deviate from the direction.

"Drop a long-lasting flare, and the optical mode is on."

"Team 31 arrives at the predetermined location and carries out the search mission, and the seventh and eighth airdrop teams spread out along both wings."

"The seventh squad is in position, and the eighth squad is in position. Spread communication fibers to maintain regional coverage. ”

Chu Ming, who was walking outside, saw a faint light shoot out from several armored vehicles, which was an extremely fine fiber, which was a common means of wired communication on the battlefield. This fiber will completely cover the area, forming a regional wired communication network. The Zamford interarm blind spot is characterized by chaotic cosmic background noise, otherwise it would not be called a blind spot.

"Luck, action."

Carson's command came, and the communication fibers were able to conduct sound waves. This order was also something that Carson had just recently grasped, and it was a vague enough order anyway, and Carson felt the need to ask Gunther for advice, these strange things were too confusing to him.

"Chang" was moving fast not far ahead, this was a routine line change to avoid the action, the detection range of this planet was greatly limited, and everyone was very cautious. Chu Ming turned on the gripping device of his footsteps, and after a while, he adapted to the weak gravitational pull. The thermostatic force field is also waving, and there is a terrible low temperature here. Composite materials can be competitive, but low-temperature lubricants are not very reliable.

"Team Eight, pay attention to your three-point direction, the original site of the permanent detection defense base station is there."

"Seven squads, fan-shaped, fixed-point lurking."

"Team 8 reported that the base station was not completely destroyed, and the self-destruct device did not start normally."

"Team Eight reported that the base station was artificially destroyed from the outside. Given the uncertainty of the function and location of the self-destruct device, complete destruction is recommended. ”

"'Chief' No. 1, in place of the guard position of the eighth squad."

"Team Seven is in a normal direction."

"Team Eight has completed the destruction mission and requested the next step."

"In the second phase of the implementation plan, the seventh and eighth teams will release the floating jellyfish."

Chu Ming looked around nervously, obviously, this base station had been destroyed by the enemy, and it was likely to be an encounter next. Floating jellyfish, nicknamed "paintball", is a small, self-destructing, low-altitude detector. If the current situation is to transmit information in the form of explosions, sounds, and high-frequency waves, it is a weapon specially opened by the Fast Empire against this kind of planet. Battlefield reconnaissance and remote sensing are the scientific and technological strengths of the Fast Empire.

"The 'paintball' in the O32 area self-detonated, and the information is being interpreted."

"The additional 'paintballs' in the O32 area self-detonated, and the information interpretation was incomplete."

"Incomplete interpretation of the O32 region information, unknown organisms, with carbon-based life characteristics and metal reactions."

"The O32 area is the target area, the first level of combat readiness. 31 'long' mecha squads, in battle formation. Other squads followed, allowing unidentified attacks. ”

Both sides adopted the same tactic - cautious reconnaissance, all-out attack. Basically seeing each other on this planet means that the distance is so close that you can't escape, no matter what the strength of the other party is, you have to fight hard, just like flipping a poker to compare the size. This is also where Zipf Star makes everyone talk about it. Chu Ming's reconnaissance should be in place, and the long-distance firepower suppression does not know how effective it is, but it will definitely be effective. Cone armor-piercing shells and Magnetic Storm high-explosive rounds have completely disrupted communications in the area. The "chief" began to communicate with each other in sign language, and the ground squad used light signals to communicate, which could only convey a small amount of information on the changing battlefield, and everyone could only act according to the predetermined plan and their own judgment.

"Damn, Rob Rossi's 'Broken Foot' mobile fortress, the troublesome big turtle."

At the same time that Chu Ming was in trouble, "Chang" was also in trouble

"'Hanging tail', damn it, Raya is back, the number is confirmed."

"Sigo, Wakeson, I'm the one here."

"Xiguo, there is another one here, there are two in total, we have no chance of winning."

"There is no way to retreat, dual wingman mode, the one that attacks in the direction of Raya with all his strength, you must first take down a 'hanging tail'."

Sigo decisively made the most reasonable decision, taking advantage of the suddenness of the encounter was their only chance of winning. Xiguo: They also met an old enemy. The two hanging tails are Deqi and Shani, Gru is still in confinement, Deqi is really itchy, so he risked being ridiculed to participate in this mission, the purpose is to destroy the ground base station of Fast and replace it, this place is needed for the latest campaign plan of the Robrossi Empire.

"Shanny, back off, roundabout, come closer to me."

Deqi also showed "long", and after the number was confirmed, he realized the tactic of "long" and immediately pounced. But after all, the "long" has to move one step earlier, with one enemy and three, Shani is not afraid, but obviously these "long" do not want to be eliminated, as soon as they come up, they take desperate moves, and the main attack of Xiguo basically does not do evasion and defense actions, it is completely a fighting method. Shaniku didn't want to fight hard, they had an advantage, so she immediately retreated, while the three of Sigo chased after her, and made it impossible for Shani to make peace with Deqi. The "long" is weaker than the "vertical tail", but the degree is not weak, so the three "long" and two "vertical tails" quickly broke away from the ground battlefield and disappeared from Chu Ming's field of vision.

Worried about the "long", Chu Ming fought for himself seriously. The long-range covering bombardment had ended, there were not many people on both sides, and there was no need to extend the bombardment, and the hand-to-hand battle began in an instant. Rushing in front is the all-mechanical mecha and the armor, the all-mechanical mecha and the semi-replacement mecha both belong to the mecha, but the combat effectiveness is completely different, the all-mechanical mecha is actually a firepower output platform, and most of them are low-lying animals or insect forms.

"Lucky lucky! You are there, free to move. ”

Carson was obsessed with his luck. Whether lucky enough to hear it or not, he also shouted. Chu Ming didn't hear it, he followed behind a frog-footed mecha and advanced completely. Leaving the brigade here can only be strangled. The frog-footed mech's low body is very sturdy. Ordinary armor-piercing projectiles had no effect on him.

"Boom", Chu Ming jumped away, and the bombardment of the overflowing additive energy cannon ended the service life of the frog-footed mecha. 'Severed-foot' mobile forts are a big nuisance.

"Damn, energy attacks don't work, only physical attacks can take out this big turtle. The eighth squad couldn't get in. ”

Chu Ming used the 'Hail' double-linked proton cutter to blast off the head of a Jia Li, the 'Hail' is a semi-melee weapon, the chain blade is quite sharp, and it can be swirled and thrown, which is also a point that Chu Ming values. After killing a few guys in a row, Chu Ming began to become the target of the public, which was the basic target value judgment set in advance by the machine and the armor, and Chu Ming became an important target, so Chu Ming began to run away. Fortunately, the battlefield was chaotic enough, and no one noticed that a substitute was running away, and a substitute was a weapon, and whoever had ever seen a kitchen knife would automatically escape. The battle of the first substitute should be indomitable, there is no need to worry about life and death at all, aiming and shooting and some basic evasive actions come from the instinct of the controller, and the stupid A substitute can't even carry out the order to lie down and shoot, there is no need for this, cannon fodder is cannon fodder. This cannon fodder is a little gray, more gray than dark gray, gray and slippery gray.

"Damn 'broken foot', damn mobile fortress, the eighth squad can't hold on, and it's going to be finished once it retreats. What about the Seventh Squad? Damn, it's all messed up. Carson, I hope you're lucky. I can't save you, so save yourself. "Chu Ming was observing the situation on the battlefield while fleeing, how could he say it? It's bad

The shape of the 'Severed-Foot' mobile fortress changed, the hunched back was sunken, and the six metal knots were stretched out, like a double diamond-shaped paramecium. 'Broken Foot' converted to an attack form, although 'Broken Foot' moves slowly, but it has a short-range bounce function, and the weak gravitational pull of Zipf Star allows it to swing better, and the main attack team of the eighth team is immediately in danger of annihilation.

"Bang", a scorpion-shaped ground effect tank was directly slapped into a discus, and the self-weight of the "broken foot" is its good weapon. Then there was a ferocious 45 blue caliber laser cannon suppression shot, and Chu Ming lay on the ground and didn't dare to move. Many of the armor and mechs disappeared in this burst of light.

"'Spider' hits the torpedo."

Chu Ming finally saw Carson's seventh squad, and the light signal from Carson's command car also flashed. Everyone knows that no one can survive without solving this "broken foot". From the light signal, it is known that all combat units will have "broken foot" as the goal.

"It's a big problem, the power of the 'spider' is too small, what a damn turtle shell."

A fearless soldier drove the Scorpion ground effect tank underneath the Severed Foot, where one of the Severed Foot's legs was torn to pieces by nearby enemies. The "broken foot" has six legs, and the double foot also has the function of folding, which does not hurt the root cause.

"Strike! Top Strike! Nothing else works. ”

Carson roared in the command vehicle and signaled his intentions. The "severed foot" can move even if all its legs are broken, and the folded part of the base of its feet is in the torso and can be extended if necessary. This is where the name "Broken Foot" comes again, and the brave soldier who died just now was not worth it.

Countless top-strike weapons flew towards the "severed foot", and the most effective one was the "Spider" top-fire torpedo with terminal guidance and adsorption. Effective here refers to the attack probability, not the effect. The Spider can avoid the Severed Foot's short-range defenses, but it can't break through the Severed Foot's armor.

"Damn, saturation attack, that's the 'grille' external armor."

Carson looked at the blue gleaming back of the "Broken Foot" and realized that the force field cancellation effect of the "grille" external armor consumed the explosive energy of the "spider" in the thin atmosphere, and there was also a part of the energy refraction function, which was a way to use force to fight with force, and the force of the "spider" was canceling each other.

"Damn, saturation attack, critical saturation attack. Eighth Squad, hold on! ”

Carson's hoarse voice was like a cat climbing into a tin house. His command was right, and it was best if there was no other interference. But there is more than just a "broken foot" on the other side, so his decision is a hypothesis. After the second bounce of "Broken Foot", the eighth team disappeared, and now only the lonely seventh team remains. Retreat was impossible, the blind spot between Zamford's arms prevented them from receiving air support, and the fleet anchored in the distance could not know what was going on here.

"I want to think about it, I want to think about it." Chu Ming lay on the ground and knocked on his metal head, where there was no head and no amino acids. He was thinking all over his body.

"I am reminded of two stories, one is the adventures of the braggart king who rides a cannonball, and the other is the galactic fleet that rides bugs. Am I going to do that? I'm definitely crazy, I'm about to become a real substitute, stubborn like a wrench, okay, okay. It's a role-playing game, I'm a stubborn wrench and hate all the screws. The point is that I don't want to die. ”

Chu Ming made up his mind and ran towards a nearby scorpion.
