What's the best way to test a weapon's performance?

Actual combat, of course.

Paper data and actual combat performance are completely two different concepts, and no matter how good the performance of the shooting range is, it is better to pull it to the battlefield for practice.

The Burning Corps, which was at the forefront of the war, soon received the first major combat mission after the launch of Operation Warrior......

Late at night.

The northern urban area of Xizhou City.

A group of marauders with rifles on their shoulders were cautiously walking through the dark streets, flashlights in their hands cautiously cruising on both sides of the street.

From time to time, I shine a picture on the top of my head.

The continuous attacks caused panic among the entire tribe.

The guerrillas formed by the local survivors were enough to give them a headache, but now there is a group of uninvited guests in Xizhou City.

Not only are these people well-armed, powerful, and well-trained, but they are also physically unusual, and many of them even show the characteristics of the Awakened.

These paratroopers roam the abandoned city, haunting like ghosts, looking for lone patrols to attack, or sneak up on fixed checkpoints, sentry posts, and artillery towers.

Not only that, but the tactics of these paratroopers are also quite cunning, and once they reach a stalemate, they immediately retreat, without giving them the slightest chance to catch up.

What was particularly troubling for the raiders was that the raids did not take place in the same urban area, but could even take place in both the south and north of the city.

This was a headache for predators who lacked radio equipment.

Since the communications equipment was not sufficient to distribute to the ten-man team, they could only report the approximate location of the attack through flares.

And when multiple facilities are attacked at the same time, the sky is full of flares and sirens pulling the gates.

As for where there are more people, where there are fewer people, and what equipment the other side has, these key information is not known. The 100-man or even 1,000-man team in charge of the defense zone often fell into the dilemma of not knowing where to go for reinforcements.

But that's not the biggest headache for the marauders.

What's really damn is that those elusive blue coats are like they can't be killed.

Occasionally, the raiders were able to kill one or two raiders, but never saw a decrease in the number of raiders.

How many paratroopers are there in these blue coats?!

Do they have so many planes to complete the training?

This series of questions has become a curse on the hearts of the top leaders of the Tooth Clan such as Golden Fang.

Even the Uren who boasted about the sea mouth at the Golden Tooth and vowed to pull out those gophers.

In the past week, he and his men had killed at least eleven New Alliance paratroopers, and in another case even a squad of four.

But what's weird is ......

The man he killed three days ago, he sees it again today.

“…… Is it a twin? ”

Removing the smoking muzzle away from the corpse, Urun frowned, staring at the face on the ground, the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

Could it be a clone?

It's not out of the question.

After all, cloning is not a rare thing these days.

But it's not easy to train clones to be just as normal, let alone trained into well-trained soldiers.

Uren noticed the vital signs monitor on the man's arm and reached out to remove it, tapping his index finger twice on the right side of the exoskeleton helmet.

"Hack into the VM system."

A line of windows is projected on the helmet eyepiece.

【Ongoing......】

The Blue Jackets of the New Alliance not only reset the vital signs monitor system and turned it into a wrist-mounted computer, but also reworked the system in their own language.

But.

It's just a terminal, and it's nothing to his combat-assisted AI with an "A-level hacking plug-in" installed.

Leaving the hacking operation to the AI, Uren waited quietly for a few seconds.

However, at this time, two lines of pop-ups popped up on the VM screen and his helmet eyepiece at the same time.

[Illegal access is detected, and DNA information verification fails.] 】

[The system has been deleted.] 】

Looking at the Chinese characters that appeared on the VM screen, Ulun was stunned for a moment.

“…… What is this written about? ”

……

Residential building 500 meters away.

The three young players quietly lay on the edge of the roof, holding binoculars to peek at the corpse of the sixth in the corner of the wall, and the team of exoskeleton soldiers next to the corpse.

Lost Meng Xin whispered: "Damn...... Customs Men's Group! ”

The props belt master snorted: "Tsk, I was knocked out as soon as I landed, and the sixth child is too miserable......"

Lost and new: "It's so miserable +1, I was brushed by the boss team before I even picked up the gun." ”

"Convergence failed...... Side quests are canceled, let's go to the main story. Shiroki looked at the vanishing icon on the VM and quietly retreated from the edge of the building.

Lost and touched, he touched the semi-automatics in his hands, and reluctantly looked at the group of "elite monsters" on the street in the distance.

"Gan, I really want to take a shot secretly."

The prop belt master nodded in agreement.

"Their exoskeletons are very expensive at first glance, and I'm afraid they can be sold for a lot of silver coins!"

Shiro rolled his eyes at the sniper.

"Don't dream, the mission matters."

There are two missions tonight, a branch and a main story.

The branch line is to recover the teammates who parachuted to the battlefield, but I didn't expect the sixth guy to be so lucky, not to mention falling directly on the street, and crashing into the patrolling boss team, and died violently without touching the gun.

As for the main quest, it is to attack any of the Marauder outposts on the north side, causing chaos in the northern city.

The main force of the Burning Corps will launch an attack in the early hours of the morning on an ammunition depot with 1,000 people in the southern part of Xizhou City.

And what they have to do is to create as much chaos as possible in the north and pin down the marauders' reinforcements before the main force starts to move.

To sum it up in a word, it is to do things!

The bigger the noise, the better.

Of course, try not to run into the team just now.

With the little equipment on them, it is still a little whimsical to want to go head-to-head with those exoskeleton soldiers who are armed to the teeth.

When the fight really started, people directly shot the chest and the head, without the full protection of the armor, no matter how high the attribute was, they would have to die violently.

The three quietly retreated from the upper floor.

After about 1 kilometer in the opposite direction to the exoskeleton soldiers, they soon found a Tooth Clan outpost.

In order to limit the area of activity of the guerrillas, the Ya clan set up checkpoints at the entrances to various roads in Xizhou City.

A marauder stands inside the sentry with a homemade cigarette in his mouth.

There were also two left, one on the right, standing next to the barricade, chatting with each other. The remaining one sat by the fire, carrying an unknown meat skewer in his hand, interjecting from time to time.

Seeing this, Bai took a sniper and immediately gestured to his teammates to stop, and then without saying a word, he took off the RPG bazooka on his back, inserted a high-explosive grenade into the launch tube, and aimed at the roadblock to pull the trigger.

Just listen to the whoosh.

A cloud of white smoke flew over, and an RPG shot slammed straight into the barricade.

"Boom ——!"

Before the two marauders standing at the barricade could react, they were blown away by the blast wave of the explosion.

Whizzing shrapnel flew wildly, scratching bullet marks on the concrete floor and concrete walls.

"Bazooka!"

The marauders in the sentry, short to avoid the debris flying in through the window, screamed and hurriedly drew their flare guns and fired a shot into the sky.

The marauders sitting by the fire did not care about the blood on their faces, and ran into the rubble, leaning out their rifles and firing indiscriminately into the eyes.

Bullets whizzed down into the windows of the players, more than ten meters away.

Seeing the green flare rising, Bai Qisni smiled, stuffed the smoking launch tube back into his backpack, and loaded the rifle in his hand.

"Mission accomplished!"

"Brothers, fire freely!"

"That's it!"

……

Dadada——!

The streets strewn with ruins and wreckage, and the sound of gunfire shattered the city's tranquility completely.

The three men who had taken out a post did not stop, and continued to move towards the next target on the map, taking advantage of the fact that reinforcements had not yet arrived.

At the same time, a W-2 ground attack plane with a shark's head painted on it had quietly flown over Xizhou City.

Hanging under the fuselage is not an aerial bomb, but a "switchblade" with its rotors folded inward.

The course and distance were reconfirmed by the VM, and the mosquito, wearing a pilot's cap and windscreens, skillfully turned on the safety of the bombardier, and shouted with his voice torn open.

"Hey, hey, hey, here's a mosquito, please answer when you receive it!"

A cacophony of voices can be heard in the communication channel.

“…… The Burning Corps received, I'm an old white ...... We've arrived at our target location and are ready to go. ”

"Oak!"

While answering, the mosquito pressed the button of the bomb dropper and said with a smile, "...... The drone is coming live, the transfer of control is complete, and we have fun! ”

The "switchblade" attached to the bomb dropper separates from the fuselage and makes an unpowered glide towards the target airspace.

At the same time, in the southern urban area of Xizhou City, a dark alley.

Hurricane, who was sitting on the ground with headphones on, raised his head and looked at Lao Bai standing at the mouth of the alley.

“…… Connected. ”

The drone's camera has been synced to his VM.

Lao Bai nodded, made an OK gesture, and ended the communication with the mosquito.

At this time, a fat mouse with a gray body and a length of one meter rushed out of the other end of the alley with a few younger brothers.

Lao Bai half-squatted.

Stopped, the strongman stiffened up, and with his distinctive sharp and hoarse voice, excitedly reported what he had just infiltrated the investigation.

"I've checked it!"

"The tank is still parked in the northeast corner of the underground garage, and the location has not changed! There are two modified anti-aircraft trucks next to it, presumably just driven in during the day! ”

Lao Bai gave a thumbs up.

"Thank you, brother."

It's hard for a strong man to smile.

"You're welcome! There are quite a lot of people in it, and there will be a good show to watch in a while! ”

Standing up from the ground, Lao Bai neatly loaded the rifle in his hand, looked at Fang Chang and the wind in the alley and gestured.

"Ready to go!"

"Roger!"

Replying succinctly, Tempest reached out and tapped twice on the headphones, then slowly closed his eyes, his consciousness synced to the perspective of the drone gliding in the sky, and unfolded the six rotors.

The control circuit of the switchblade drone is the same model as the Y-1 Firefly, and even the operating software is the same.

It can be operated through the VM touch screen, or through the neural connection of the device, with the assistance of the communication base station for immersive connection.

Finally, after confirming the information on the VM, Lao Bai turned off the screen and walked out of the alley first.

[Mission 1: Destroy the ammunition depot in the "TV station" located in the southern part of the city]

[Mission 2: Use the "Switchblade" experimental self-detonating drone to destroy a Conqueror 10 tank and take pictures of the wreckage.] 】

Located in the south of Xizhou City, the former site of the TV station has a total of three buildings and a double-storey underground garage, stationed 200~300 marauders and 20~40 craftsmen serving the Ya clan.

This is the camp of the Tooth Clan outside the Four New Districts, led by a centurion named "Wind Roar", and this is also his territory.

According to the intelligence of the strongman's brothers, twelve o'clock in the morning is the most lax time of the day in this camp, especially between twelve and half past twelve.

The sentries who were about to change shifts, and almost no one was focused on patrolling.

The camp's ammunition depot is located in the basement of the west wing of the TV station, and the easternmost underground garage is right next to a Conquistador X in the process of being repaired.

The two tasks happened to be done together.

The operation officially began.

Lao Bai took Fang Chang and walked quickly along the dark street in the direction of the TV station.

Ye Shi, who was crawling on the roof of the building, used an LD-47j semi-automatic equipped with a simple silencer to quickly shoot and kill the two sentries standing at the main entrance of the TV station and the wooden watchtower respectively, covering Lao Bai and Fang Chang to approach the wall of the TV station.

Over the wall.

Avoiding the campfire in the camp, the two moved quickly against the wall, but just as they were about to turn the corner, the sound of slow footsteps came from the right front.

Lao Bai quickly raised his hand to signal Fang Chang to stop, then gestured two fingers, and clenched his left hand into a fist.

Fang Chang immediately understood, took an arrow from his quiver and put it on the string, and quietly moved behind the wooden box on the left.

Lao Bai let go of his rifle, pulled out his dagger, pressed his steps close to the base of the wall in the corner, and gestured to Fang Chang behind the cover.

‘OK？ ’

‘OK。 ’

Fang Chang, who was hiding in the shadows, held his breath, and while pulling the bowstring, he began to count the seconds in his heart.

'Bullet time-'

'Open! ’

The moment the two marauders appeared from around the corner, Fang Chang let go of the bowstring in his hand, and Lao Bai, who was lurking under the base of the wall, also moved at the same time.

Whoosh –

The buzz of the air was gone, and the marauder walking on the left was pierced through the throat by an arrow, his eyes widening and squeaking, and he fell backwards in blood.

The man on the right didn't have time to react, only heard the bowstring hum, and was covered by a big hand stretched out from the shadows and wiped his neck.

Release the dagger with your right hand.

Lao Bai took advantage of the situation to drag the predator who was shot in the throat and fell backwards, and dragged the two corpses together to the corner of the wall and put them down quietly.

After making an OK gesture to the chief of the square, Lao Bai re-grasped the rifle hanging on his body and motioned to move on.

Sneaking into the camp by the wall, the sentry standing directly above the roof of the building had been knocked out from a distance by Night Ten, and the camp was quiet as if it was haunted.

Especially the ambiance here.

There was a smell of blood throughout the camp, and wooden telephone poles and windows were littered with hanged or crucified corpses.

Some are even rotten and stinking.

Most of these people are local survivors.

After executing the captured survivors, the marauders drained their blood, smeared them on the walls, and painted them with graffiti or strange symbols to curse and terrorize the survivors who were hiding underground, as well as the resistance guerrillas.

But it turned out that didn't work.

The bloody crackdown only galvanized the local survivors to fight to the end, even with black powder, bows and arrows, and spears.

Under the cover of Night Ten, the two tacitly cooperated, solved five patrolling sentries in a row, and quietly touched the west wing of the TV station.

The ammunition depot is hidden on the basement level of the west wing, the iron door is tightly locked, and the only key is in the drawer of the janitor's room.

It's a pity that the size of the strong brother is still a little bigger, otherwise he could sneak directly into the guard's room and steal the key while the doorman was dozing.

Lowered his pace and leaned over, Lao Bai touched into the guard's room, still skillfully silent + backstabbing, wiped the sleeping marauder on his neck, and then took the key in the drawer.

Unlock and enter smoothly.

The two of them glanced around the ammunition depot with flashlights, and their eyes widened in unison.

"......"

"The life of this group of bandits is quite nourishing."

Ripper's rifles leaned against the wall like burning sticks, and there were thousands of them. Based on the retail price of 100 silver coins in the NPC Shop, these rifles alone are worth 100,000 silver.

Not only that, but many rooms were filled with boxes and bundles of ammunition, and a single particle of bullet glowed orange-yellow and silvery-white in the light of the flashlight.

Among them are bought copper shell bullets, homemade steel shell bullets, and even reloading bullets processed by slaves and craftsmen.

From the hallway to the cubicle, the space, which adds up to less than 500 square meters, is almost filled with a dazzling array of munitions!

Lao Bai roughly calculated, the weapons and ammunition and other military supplies here are worth a million to say the least!

“…… Damn, there's even 100mm shells here. Standing at the door of the room at the end of the corridor, Fang Chang looked at the orange shells on the ammunition rack and couldn't help but smack his tongue.

That's too fatty!

Lao Bai: "I guess it was used by Conqueror 10, which is a little shorter than the one we captured in Qingshi County." ”

There are many types of turrets in the Conqueror 10 tank, and the corresponding barrel caliber is also different, but most of them are still based on 100mm caliber.

Fang Chang had a regretful expression on his face.

"It's a pity, if only I could steal it out!"

"Haha, don't think about it, you still have storage space in this game......" Lao Bai took out the mixed explosives from his backpack, divided half of them and threw them into Fang Chang's hands, "Hurry up and get to work, let's do it quickly." ”

All the ammunition in the ammunition depot has been photographed and preserved, and the mission reward for the destruction of a clear target will be a lot higher than the destruction of a vague target.

The explosives were placed under the ammunition box, Lao Bai and Fang Chang respectively set up the time-delay fuse, and immediately withdrew from the ammunition depot, and evacuated the television station along the same road before the marauder patrol changed shifts.

Confirming that his teammates had left and that the targets on the way to the garage had been cleared, the wind-controlled drone began to descend in altitude, whistling towards the entrance to the underground garage, following a pre-planned path to the tank in the northeast corner.

The hum of the hexacopters quickly attracted the attention of the marauders, but by the time the drone had already rushed into the garage, it was impossible to intercept it.

The drone flying close to the ground quickly got under the chassis of the tank, and the fifteen-kilogram warhead exploded in an instant, and the power of the mixed explosives mixed with magnesium and aluminum powder was comparable to two 155mm!

Especially in a confined environment like an underground garage.

The violent shock wave not only blew up the dozens of tons of tanks to scrap on the spot, but also blasted the two anti-aircraft trucks parked next to it and the patrol that rushed to reinforce them into debris, and a quarter of the garage collapsed, adding a large crater to the ground out of thin air.

The marauders of the entire camp were stunned, and they hurriedly got up from their beds, and rushed out of the barracks in the main building before they had time to put on their clothes.

A crowd rushed to the ammunition depot.

However, before they could reach the guard's room, a brilliant fire lit up before their eyes.

The power of this wave of explosions was several times that of the previous wave, and the entire west wing seemed to be blown out.

The detonated ammunition exploded like firecrackers, and was even thrown into the sky by the shock wave of the explosion, and the crackling light of the fire turned the night into day.

The marauders in the camp were killed and wounded in an instant, and there were painful and desperate wails everywhere.

The centurion stood in the ruins, despair written on his face.

Thinking of the Golden Fang's cruel methods and the horrific punishments, he shuddered and drew his pistol and shoved it into his mouth.

The thump of the gunshot, so insignificant in the boiling night that no one even noticed......

"It's so powerful!" The footage of the explosion was recorded, and Ye Shi, who was lying on the edge of the roof, couldn't help but sigh.

The scorching air even blew to him.

There was a stench of burnt burning......

Before, when I watched people discuss the formula of mixed explosives on the forum, Ye Shi didn't have any intuitive feeling, but now I have a deep understanding of how many punishments these people have.

I hope these people spend their excess time and energy on the game, and don't mess around in reality......

Having saved the video via VM, Night Ten put away his semi-automatic rifle and immediately left the building and rushed to the rendezvous point eight hundred meters away.

Lao Bai and his party are already waiting for him here.

"Anyway, what about the photos that confirmed the destruction?" Suddenly thinking of a key matter, Ye Shi looked at Lao Bai and asked.

Fang Chang glanced at the green dot on the VM map.

“…… It's hard for the strongman to go over and shoot, so let's go back to the base of operations first and wait for his news. ”

The whole camp was in shambles now, and no one should have noticed that a fat rat had burrowed into the ruins of the explosion.

Originally, there was an outbreak of plague in Xizhou City.

It's so normal for rats alarmed by the explosion to scurry around the rubble, and even if anyone notices him, most people will not care about him at this juncture.

But this time they stabbed the powder keg.

The thunderous Golden Fang sent a full five thousand troops, and gave a death order to the commander in charge of patrolling the southern city that night-

If you can't clear the paratroopers of the New Alliance in Xizhou City before the end of the month, you can cut him into a stick and throw him into the lake to feed the crabs!

The marauders of the entire Xizhou City are like crazy.

The size of the patrol team has changed from the original 10-person team to a 100-person team, and the original patrol for the main road has also become a carpet search building by building.

However, the players did not panic at all, but were excited.

What does this mean?

It shows that they are in a hurry!

There is feedback to be motivated, next time we will increase our efforts to continue, this time we will destroy a battalion of the Chewing Bone Tribe, and next time we will strive to destroy a division.

Having said that, it was clear that the base of operations in the abandoned mall was no longer safe, and the radio station on the roof of the apartment building had to be moved to the east.

After discussing with other squad leaders in the group, Lao Bai immediately made a decision and ordered each squad leader to take his teammates into pieces, a team of eight people, and a group of four people to act separately and scatter into the ruins, alleys, and underground transportation networks in the city.

Just when the guerrilla war between the Burning Corps and the Chewing Bone Tribe was heating up, Chu Guang received a battle report from the front line and immediately held an operational meeting.

"Two pieces of good news!"

"In the early hours of the day before yesterday, our switchblades, guided by ground forces, successfully blew up the Conqueror 10 tank, which was located in an abandoned basement in the south of Xizhou City."

"Judging from the photos of the wreckage of the explosion, the chassis of the tank was seriously damaged, the structure was clearly deformed, and two pairs of load-bearing wheels fell off the hull."

"Practice has shown that the destruction effect of the fifteen-kilogram warhead on the chassis of the Conqueror X tank is sufficient! The tactical idea of a suicide drone also works! ”

"Our intelligence officers recovered part of the wreckage of the drone from the site of the explosion."

"Due to the short duration of the attack, the fact that most of the direct witnesses were killed in the explosion, and the explosion of the ammunition depot diverted the attention of the enemy, it is highly probable that our enemy is still unclear what weapons his tank was destroyed."

Hearing this, the faces of all the officers showed joy.

The news that the new equipment can restrain the enemy's tanks is even more gratifying than the thousand-man team that captured Qingshi County and annihilated the lion's teeth.

This means that they have one more card to play.

And it's a trump card!

Chu Guang was equally happy.

However, unlike the officers present, he actually thought more about the future.

Being able to destroy the Conqueror Ten tank not only means that the new alliance has the initiative to start a decisive battle with the Chewy Bone Tribe, but also means that they have the strength to fight even against the Legion's armored torrent.

Of course, Chu Guang also knew in his heart that if there was a direct conflict with the legion one day in the future, it would definitely be more than just tanks sent by the other party......

Vanus looked at Chu Guang, and his intuition told him that the manager in front of him probably hadn't finished speaking.

"Are these two messages?"

"Count one."

After a pause, Chu Guang retracted his thoughts and continued.

"The second message...... I think the good news. ”

"The Chewing Bone Tribe changed their deployment, sending more soldiers to the front line, and digging blast holes and vehicle bunkers in the col five kilometers from Songlinyu. Our planes spotted their trucks and anti-aircraft vehicles, but not tanks. ”

"In addition to this, a large number of slaves were sent to the front, and from the aerial photos, they carried a small number of modified excavators, bulldozers and other construction equipment."

"A conservative estimate is that there are five thousand people there!"

Five thousand!

Hearing this figure, a heavy expression appeared on the faces of many officers at the scene.

Including Vanus.

The total number of permanent residents registered in the new alliance is just over 5,000, including many elderly people, children and women.

There are too many opposites!

Vannus's brow furrowed, but he was thinking about something else.

"It's a lot like the style of the 210,000th team...... Eighty percent of the commanders are Dillon. Eighty percent of those anti-artillery holes and anti-aircraft guns deployed on high ground were prepared for tanks going to the front line. ”

The captain of the 210,000th team!

This guy is not easy to deal with!

Vanus could even guess what he was going to do.

It is nothing more than using the terrain and bunker fortifications to save armored units, and then concentrating forces and armor superiority to break through the lines of defense of the new coalition under the cover of anti-aircraft vehicles.

It is impossible for an anti-aircraft vehicle to stop all the aircraft, especially if they are not fully prepared.

It seems that the marauders were ready to sacrifice some of their tanks, and were even determined to storm the positions of the new alliance at the cost of heavy casualties.

Obviously, the continuous casualties and losses have made them anxious.

“…… Whether it was Dillon or Gold Tooth or someone else, my gut told me that the moment of our decisive battle against savagery was just around the corner. Our opponents have begun to realize that there is only one way to go if they continue to drag on...... But they're only now realizing that it's somewhat late. ”

With his hands on the table, Chu Guanghuan glanced at the officers standing in the tent, and said in a clean tone.

"We'll stop the armored forces of the Tooth Clan at Songlinyu."

"That's their grave!"

It's the New Year, and book friends with spiritual roots use this app to read aloud and listen to books on the road!
