Chapter 214: Ghost Base

"West Trail 15, South Trail 7, North Trail 22, Flying Insects Found, Be Careful!"

It didn't take long for the light source to turn on before the warriors spotted the Screamer.

The Screamer is a fixed Marine Air Force of bugs, a formation that has always existed, and has evolved over the years, from a simple aerial bite attack to a dash attack and a jet attack.

A dash attack is a sudden assault at a speed of one or two hertz, sweeping over the target human at high speed, and then decapitating the human through the wings that have been transformed into weapons. This type of attack is especially suitable for a single air raid to interfere.

When the Screamers reach a certain number, their dash attacks will only target air targets, and switch to jet attacks against ground targets, and they will spray Mitsubishi bone nails from their tails that are not only corrosive and poisonous, but also have the ability to scatter - when they hit a hard target, the Mitsubishi bone nails will splash in all directions.

The Mitsubishi Bone Spikes fired by the Formed Screamer are quite terrifying, with a dense coverage comparable to the Female Fish Bullet (a highly effective battlefield clearing bomb), but much more powerful than the Female Fish Bullet, at least the Female Fish Bullet only works on unprotected personnel, and the Screamer's Bone Nails can beat the land combat robot into scrap metal after reaching a certain number.

The environment of the canyon is not good for the tough guy troops, but it is very conducive to the sneak attack of the screamers, but when Xiao Ming's humanoid radar knows their existence in advance, and then artificially creates a wide visual range, the threat of the screamers is greatly reduced, after all, in such a canyon, it is impossible for the screamers to carry out group jet attacks, there is not enough room for movement, so it will only be used as a target by the anti-aircraft guns of the tough guy troops - the biggest weakness of the bugs has always been the problem of range.

The Screamer attacked several times, but they were all cracked because of Xiao Ming's advance notice and the fact that the fighters could easily see everything around them. Only one fighter was too unlucky to react a little slowly, and was killed by a bone spike on the Screamer's deathbed, but in the hundreds of Screamer's surprise attacks, only one member of the team was killed, which was quite a good result.

Soon, the tough-guy troops came out of the canyon.

"The troops listened to orders. All combat robots enter air defense mode, and the ground personnel carry out wave propulsion!" Podol had already discussed tactics with Xiao Ming, and issued a new order as soon as he left the canyon.

This time, the tough guy unit brought two Thor heavy robots, four arc combat auxiliary mecha vehicles, and more than fifty logistics auxiliary robots.

Although Thor had many shortcomings, so much so that it was later replaced by a subsequent improved model "Hercules", in 2533, Thor was still quite a tall armored combat robot. The old general is one of the few who used his power for personal gain to get two units for the tough guy troops. Thor's actions and combat are completely controlled by the powerful light brain, and the role of humans in the cab is more than a horizontal understanding of commands.

Thor's main weapon is the "Punisher" multifunctional artillery mounted on both arms. The Punisher has two attack modes. Normal mode allows it to fire high-explosive energy projectiles at a rate of 5,000 rounds per minute, each of which reaches 1,000 energy degrees. According to the needs of the operation, the "Punisher" can also change to a mixed energy and kinetic energy shooting mode at any time, firing 250 mm depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, so that the power of each round can be instantly increased to 3,000 energy degrees, and has a strong armor-piercing ability.

Of course, using the hybrid fire mode not only greatly increases the demand for ammunition, but also makes it more difficult to replenish logistics. And the rate of fire needs to be reduced to 500 rounds per minute, otherwise the "punisher" will be destroyed by excessive temperatures.

In addition to the "Punisher" multifunctional artillery. Thor also has several "Cavlin" missile launchers, which can launch various models of miniature air-breaking missiles, which are the main weapons of anti-aircraft. In the canyon before, it was Thor's miniature air-breaking missile that caused great damage to the Screamers. And because the miniature air-breaking missile is small and can be carried in large quantities, it is far more practical than the 250 mm depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile.

And the arc combat auxiliary mecha car. It sounds like a complicated name, but if you change it to an old name, it's easy to understand - it's actually a modified tank. However, due to the practical application and popularization of combat robots, tanks have changed from the backbone of ground combat to combat assistants.

But there's no denying it. In some specific situations, the role of the tank is still strong.

The arc light combat auxiliary mecha car is a piece of equipment that has long been popularized in the army, so the tough guy unit has been equipped with four, if it is not for the fear that the terrain and other reasons are not suitable, this number may be added by the old general to the back of a zero.

As a combat auxiliary mecha car, Arclight is no longer a fortification unit in essence, but a combat auxiliary unit, so the most important ability is combat assistance, so Arclight has a variety of special models, such as troop transport, battlefield medical care, fire support, etc.

Of the four Arcs of the Tough Guy Unit, two are models whose main purpose is transportation, and two are battlefield medical vehicles - although they are all the same on the outside, they are completely different on the inside.

Although it is no longer a storming unit, Arclight still has a strong combat ability. It has two modes of movement, in a flat environment, it can use the split track for high speed, and on complex terrain, the split track will become an eight-legged walking state, which ensures stability while still having a high moving efficiency.

In terms of weapons, the arc light has a 180 mm impact ion energy cannon, which can fire a burst artillery strike with an energy of 3,000, except for the relatively slow firing speed - 30 rounds per minute, and the firing angle can only be aimed at targets 500 meters above the ground, other aspects are still qualified, and it is still a common firepower configuration for human ground forces in 2533.

In melee combat, the four corners of the Arc have four highly effective Gatling Energy cannons, which are very effective against melee targets and air targets.

However, because it is a combat auxiliary unit, coupled with the multifunctional transformation of the interior, it lacks armor-piercing protection, and in 2622, it was eliminated, but after the Photon Revolution. The popularization of the high-efficiency photon shield has made the "Glory Charger" transformed on the basis of arc light active on the battlefield again.

Because the tough guy unit has the old general Tolstoy to open a small stove, it is equipped with combat equipment far beyond what they should have, but even so, whether it is the people above or the tough guy troops, they all understand. This mission of the Ghost Star is still a mission of death - no matter how well the ground is fought, once the swarm bursts forward and swallows the entire Ghost Star, then the ground troops will still be dead.

This is also the reason why the old general opened a small stove for the tough guy troops without anyone stopping it.

As for saying that humans launched an attack to get the ghost star within their own safety line, it is also impossible, because no one in the human race is ready for the battle, and the planets behind have not been completely recovered. Once a decisive battle occurs, the swarm behind hatches in large numbers, and humans face the danger of being attacked on their backs.

The military department did not dare to take this risk. Not to mention that it is Douglas on the ghost star, even if it is Tolstoy, the military department will still not launch a general attack.

The tough guy troops use Thor and Arc as the key points to advance in waves.

This is a classic tactic on the human ground battlefield, which has been invented as early as the Earth era, and has been continuously refined and improved since then, and has never been eliminated. The entire force was divided into three parts and moved forward like a wave. With the fire support and battlefield control of Thor and Arclight, it can guarantee the maximum combat survivability of the tough guy troops.

It's weird, though. The Screamers who continued to attack the troops in the canyon vanished as soon as the troops left the canyon. The insects on the ground were gone, as if the whole swarm had disappeared. This Podor couldn't help but think of what happened to him in Moshasa - are the bugs really afraid of Xiao Ming and Remidios?

With puzzlement, the tough guy troops continued to advance, without the interference of insects, and the last two hundred kilometers were carried out very smoothly and quickly, taking three hours. The troops can already see the forward base of the Ghost Star, the Ghost Base.

As its name suggests, the entire base is like a ghost in the dark, with no sign of opening at all, and all defenses are closed. Even the light source is completely gone. When the tough guy troops advanced into the base, the pungent blood rushed into their faces.

There were mangled corpses everywhere, and the swarm had bloodbathed the entire base, leaving no mouth alive.

"Oin, take someone to clean up all the defenses, and have someone inspect the power core to see if they can restore the energy supply. Zoch, you take people to search the entire base, I want to know if there are any living mouths, remember, I want information on every corpse, even if General Douglas is broken into pieces, if he is there, you have to find it for me! Big mouth, take someone to the communication room to see what is going on there. Xiao Ming, and the command team followed me to the base command room!"

Podol quickly gave the order.

"Yes!" the crowd took the order.

All sorts of more detailed orders were conveyed around, and all the warriors knew the danger here, and no one dared to be careless, and went about their work, and two Thor and four Arc lights were placed at the entrance to the base for defense, and before the automatic defense equipment was operational, it was all up to them - if the automatic defense equipment was still functioning.

The Knives temporarily acted as the guard of the command group, first raiding the command room, and after discovering that there were only corpses there, and then began to clean up, while Podol led everyone in the command team into the core area of the command room, the combat command center.

There is a light brain that controls the entire base, and all orders are issued from here, and all the control centers of the entire base are here.

The gate of the command center was blocked by a heavy alloy gate, and there were deep traces of attack on it, which showed that the insects launched a crazy attack on the command center, but because of the importance of the command center, the layout of the entire command center was simply a super alloy box fifty meters thick, and it was difficult to break even if it was an insect.

But now the box has also locked them out of the command center.

"This place hasn't been breached yet, is there still anyone alive in it?" said Podore with hope - as he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Ming.

"The alloy here is too thick, and there is a disturbing layer, and I can't sense the situation inside, but I can feel that there is no danger inside. Xiao Ming said.

"Find a way to get out of here!Oin, what's going on with you there, is the power core still working?" said Podore. (To be continued......)
