Chapter 350: Secret Facilities (4)
The security center is much more defensive, and Ral reckons that the other side has concentrated the main defense forces near the security center. Ral's forces had a hard time, and they even had to force their way to every room in their path to make sure they wouldn't flank. But despite this, Ral managed to kill all the way to the door of the security center with the help of his own alien insects.
Lal told Four-Eyes and Miles to do the same thing, using the smoke grenades from the under-mounted grenade launcher and the remaining smoke grenades and flashbangs he was carrying into the security center, waiting for the smoke to fill up before the hoppers rushed in and slaughtered them.
This time, however, they miscalculated, and soon after the hoppers stormed the security center, there were gunshots and the sound of machinery spinning. Ral and several squad leaders quickly realized what was going on, and immediately instructed his men to get the hoppers back. But it was too late for them, and in the end, there were less than ten of them left, and all of them were wounded.
They miscalculated a little, this is a security center, how can there be no such thing as a security robot? They had never encountered a security robot before, so they subconsciously ignored this, but they didn't expect the other party to dig a hole for them here. Security robots use sensors to sense enemy troops, and these sophisticated sensors are not affected by conventional smoke grenades and flashbang grenades.
The tricky method failed, and in order to resolve the battle as soon as possible, Lal directly chose the method of frontal assault. Have the cockroaches use their heavy carapace to push in front, and then form an assault team to follow the cockroaches and break into the security center. In order to prevent the cockroaches from suffering from the fire and lying on their stomachs when they entered, their only remaining cockroach was "transformed" a little. Of course, it is better to say that it is a transformation, but it is better to pile up accessories. They had planned to take off the shield of the other party's heavy armor, but they tried to move it but they couldn't move it at all, and although they could rely on some tools to remove the shield, they couldn't move the shield at all, let alone put it on the cockroach.
In desperation, they had to settle for the next best thing, and piled all the M98 explosion-proof shields they used on the cockroach, and directly piled up the poor cockroach with only two eyes and a mouth that could spray acid, and he almost couldn't walk.
But no matter what, the effect is remarkable. As soon as the battle began, the cockroach began to "clang" non-stop, and all kinds of bullets tilted to it like raindrops, but most of them were blocked by the "external armor" on its body. The only effective ones are the small-caliber guns used by the security robots, which can blow up the shield that was finally hung up, but it is still not enough to penetrate the heavy biological carapace of the cockroach itself.
Relying on the advantages brought by the cockroaches, Lal and his men successfully broke into the security center. By the time they managed to break through to the security center, the battle would be over. Despite this, the fighting continued for about an hour and a half throughout the secret facility, and it was not until the last six scientists shot themselves near the facility's warehouse that the entire facility fell into the hands of Ral.
Although they ordered the use of the entire facility to be locked off as soon as they seized control of the security center, it was too late. Most of the data and personnel have been evacuated from the facility first. Ral was disappointed, but knew that this was the best outcome for their slow pace.
At that time, the opponent did not hesitate to lose personnel to the point of disadvantage, but also launched multiple rounds of counterattacks on their rifts, probably to delay time. Ral ordered the technical sergeant to copy all the materials he copied, take everything he could collect, and then ordered his men to plant explosives at key locations and blow up the facility once they left.
Judging from the purpose of this facility, Lal estimated that the operation was not mainly for the purpose of the information in the facility, but should be for the purpose of testing the strengths and weaknesses of the new unit in actual combat. On the way back with the troops, Lal was full of thoughts about the operational report. Unlike his usual boring reports, he had so much to write about this time.
When they came, the passage was also blocked by them with cockroaches, that is, the walls of the underground facilities of the arsenal could not be restored, and the cockroaches would not be able to decorate and build after all, and the blocked passage would always become an earthy yellow scar on the wall.
After Lahr finally returned to the arsenal with his platoon, the technician was also the first to come up and ask them about the battle.
After giving the order to the other squad leaders to disband and recuperate, Ral pulled the technician aside and informed him of some of the problems he had found. The technician did not dare to slack off to record all these problems with the PDA, and after recording them, he also showed Lal a special look, and left immediately after making sure that it was correct, and at the same time told him that the reinforcement and the next mission would be arranged for him as soon as possible.
As for the regular combat report, there is no hurry, and what Ral wants to do most now is to take off his power armor and take a cold shower, wash off the tiredness on his body, and then go to sleep well - as for the meal, he is not in a hurry to eat, because the scene of the jumping worm disemboweling will make him vomit the food he ate in its original place.
The wounded jumping worms were cared for by the medics and their cooperating soldiers upon their return. This is a rare opportunity to strengthen the relationship, and the rest of the people who don't have the jumping worms can only stare dryly.
Miles and Four Eyes were a rare way to get together. It's just that they're just for the captured sets of armor. They brought back several corpses of dead enemy soldiers. Since they did not understand the techniques of these armors, they did not dare to take off the armor easily, so they could only let the corpses wear them and conduct rough research.
The heavy shield, they tried, not even a cockroach could carry it, to say the least weighed three or four tons, this thing was not to protect against direct fire from heavy artillery. They didn't understand what the shield was all about, and what the Zenith's hydraulic drive was used to make their power armor lift a shield of this magnitude. Tapping your fingers on the surface of these shields made a muffled sound of hitting the concrete wall.
And the artillery, they didn't find out how it worked. As for the technology on these soldiers, they can hardly make the most superficial guesses when they dare not easily disassemble them.
After returning from the mission, the arsenal returned to its former calm after a brief period of commotion. After most of the people lined up to take a shower at the facility's only supply depot, one by one, most of them lay down on the cold floor of the arsenal and closed their eyes.
Fortunately, they all slept in power armor. The Power Armor was able to block out their sounds, otherwise the hard-won silence would have been shattered by the earth-shattering snoring......
