Chapter 64. First contact
"Report, the wireless communication base has been installed, and the contact is normal!"
A report came from outside the car, Zhou Jinru looked down at the full grid of signals on the electronic screen, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked: "How is the engineering army doing to erect the ground defense line?" ”
"Report to the chief, construction is underway ahead, the drone probed two kilometers forward, and no anomalies were found."
A resounding answer came from the communication link, proving that everything was working properly.
Judging from the floor plan, most of the buildings in this block are small buildings of two or three floors, according to the notes of translation experts, this was originally a commercial area, after the night of the big empty city, most of the buildings in disrepair collapsed, and the rest are inaccessible dangerous buildings.
"It's enough to fight positional warfare."
Zhou Jinru commented, he is now a layman, and he doesn't understand the way the army fights in the world of Terra, although he is very reluctant to admit that Rhode Island, as a mercenary, hard power is not enough in the face of large-scale wars, he cautiously did not express his opinion, but let the two staff officers make decisions.
At this time, he cannot go out, and he must stay in the command vehicle before exiting the battlefield, because on the battlefield, the command vehicle with bulletproof functions can protect his life as much as possible, and a sniper can easily take his head before the shield value.
"Your Excellency, the conclusion of our deliberations is that the fundamental purpose of establishing a defensive line of defense in this neighborhood is to prevent any enemy troops from passing through here, and if necessary, we can ask for support from our comrades on our side, and they will certainly not stand idly by, after all, once we are broken, then the flank of the advancing troops will be exposed to the enemy's edge, and no side can bear such losses."
Zhou Jinru nodded, he looked at the electronic screen, all the operators had already entered the combat position, the heavy troops in the front row had erected their big shields, and the engineering troops who had erected ground fortifications had officially retreated.
When they retreated into the defensive line, Zhou Jinru asked, "How many fragmentation mines do we have?" ”
A staff officer gave the exact number and wondered, "What do you mean?" ”
"There is no other meaning, just set up some in these places, and if there is no detonation, it can be recovered after the war."
Zhou Jinru pointed to the side of the sniper platform and said, after all, some places are still difficult to defend, they are blocked on the main road, and some side roads cannot be taken into account.
"Yes."
The two staff officers agreed with Zhou Jinru's statement and rearranged the engineering troops to erect fragments, and at this moment, the frontal battle was about to break out, and the two sides launched a tentative attack on a park area in the ruins of Area 59.
On the electronic screen, the blue side representing the gantry officially made contact with the red side of the integrated movement, and ten minutes later, the two sides touched and left, and the gantry temporarily took control of an area.
Zhou Jinru noticed that the area was the same plot of land that had changed hands repeatedly between the two sides before.
"Nothing unusual about drones?"
He asked.
Then I got an affirmative answer, so I settled down a little.
Looking down at the distribution map of the drone swarm in the abandoned city, the two staff officers didn't ask much when they saw it, and just as he was about to put away the drawing, he caught a glimpse of the corner of the drawing out of the corner of his eye, and asked casually: "What should I do if the troops who are fighting meet the drone swarm?" ”
A staff officer said seriously: "The drone swarm will patrol the abandoned city at a fixed time, and once the large-scale drone swarm arrives, both sides will consciously die down, after all, no one can withstand the bombing of the washing floor." ”
Zhou Jinru said thoughtfully: "So now the retreat of the integration movement is related to the imminent arrival of the drone swarm?" Have you ever tried to artificially interfere with the arrival time of a swarm of drones? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency Ah Guang, a long time ago, some military experts mentioned the use of drone swarms to eliminate the integration movement, but this cannot be established, because the drone swarms in abandoned cities are not rigid operating procedures, and there is a logical master behind them."
Zhou Jinru nodded, everything he could think of, Longmen must have noticed it, after all, the other party is the enemy, and of course he will do everything to destroy the enemy.
Ten minutes later, the communication base stopped working, and the electronic equipment in the command vehicle also stopped working, Zhou Jinru looked out through the car window, only to see a dense group of drones flying over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the entire sky was darkened.
He had never seen such a spectacular scene, and he was curious like the citizens who looked up curiously when the Germans bombed London.
"Your Excellency, all communications are now interrupted, and the devices can not be turned on again until the drone swarm is not visible to the naked eye, and we are all exposed to their scanning range, and the master behind it will default to us as residents of the city, so there will be no attack."
Therefore, in the ruins of Area 59, and even the entire abandoned city, both the Dragon Gate and the integration movement consciously prohibit the operation of air units, in order to avoid drone swarms.
"Let me ask you a digression, how did you Longmen deal with the collapsed buildings here?"
The staff officer said unexpectedly: "Longmen has a set of treatment plans for construction waste, and the reuse rate has reached 95%. ”
Zhou Jinru asked this question out of his own personal thoughts, and before he could say anything more, an explosion suddenly came from outside, which shocked him and almost got up from his seat.
"What's going on?"
"Check it up! What happened?! ”
This explosion touched everyone's nerves, and the entire defense line was on emergency alert, and soon got an embarrassing report, a soldier of the engineering unit accidentally triggered a fragmentation mine, fortunately the people around him pulled him, only slightly injured, and now transferred to the rear temporary field hospital.
"The crisis is over."
The staff officer wiped the sweat from his forehead, no one was not nervous in this environment, Zhou Jinru took out a few pieces of sugar from his pocket and gave them them, the sugar that the rat king gave him was secretly groped for a few pieces, and a little turtle was given, and now there are only three or four pieces left.
Tearing open the candy wrapper and stuffing the sugar cube into his mouth, he forced a smile and said, "We're relatively remote here, so we don't attract much attention, maybe we're too nervous." ”
As soon as the words fell, I only heard a gunshot in front of me, Zhou Jinru's face changed, the electronic screen in front of him was pitch black, the drone swarm had just passed, and the electronic equipment had not yet returned to normal operation, I didn't expect that there was really an integration movement!
"It's not the first time, it doesn't matter." The staff officer comforted.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of piercing the air in my ears, and a grenade landed in the open space not far from the command vehicle, exploding a charred crater, and the resulting air wave even pushed the command vehicle a certain distance!
