Chapter Twenty-Four: Speculation

……

Planetary Defense Force Line, where the 87th, 31st regiments are stationed.

After Qin Mo rushed to support and set up a small fortress, the rebels hadn't attacked for a while, but everyone hadn't let their guard down, and they were ready to receive orders from Qin Mo and rush to where he needed them to go.

On this quiet day, Duncan and Albert, two regimental commanders and soldiers, gathered outside the fortress to watch the logistics machinery constantly coming and going from the position.

These black spherical machines used to transport food and ammunition, but now they transport weapons.

The giant black metal crates were hoisted to the ground by the logistics machinery, and then they began to recover the metal from the crates, and improved laser rifles appeared in front of everyone.

"Is this a laser rifle with a scope?"

"Just try it."

The soldiers were ecstatic to pick up their laser rifles, then walked to the shooting range outside the small fortress and fired at targets made of rebel equipment and wooden men.

They were then surprised to find that the laser rifle had a faster rate of fire, and that the battery capacity had been significantly increased, allowing them to shoot more beams before they ran out of energy.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to weaponry.

Half a month has passed since I heard that the city of Cato has been stabilized, and all kinds of weapons and equipment are being sent to the position.

This includes, but is not limited to, a Riemannrus tank, several common power mails, unmanned transport aircraft, and even unmanned self-propelled guns.

The SPGs were built on anti-gravity levitating platforms, which did not require human control and did not leave room for the operator.

And when it is hoisted by the logistics machinery and lowered to the position, these guns will automatically gather together.

"Riemann Ruth tank. The Emperor is above. Albert, who was an armored soldier, looked at the Riemann Ruth tank parked with unmanned artillery outside the fortress in amazement, "The passage to the lower nest has been blown up, and I really don't know how this tank was made." ”

The Riemannus Tank is a heavy tank equipped with the Imperial Astral Army, and it is not something that can be built in any Hive or Industrial World.

If the Tyrone Nest had the ability to produce Riemann Ruth tanks, the Empire would have sent troops to deal with the rebels long ago.

"It's like this fortress." Duncan looked at the small fortress, "It must be the product of creation magic." ”

As one of the positions that had been saved by Qin Mo himself, everyone here had seen Qin Mo's creation magic, and a fortress could rise from the ground in just a few minutes.

Everyone here had also seen the power armor worn by Qin Mo and the survivors of the 44th Regiment, and on the whole, it was not particularly strange that the Riemann Ruth tank was built.

"Did you notice that the guns were unmanned? Just like those black eggs. Albert suddenly lowered his voice, looking mysterious.

Duncan understood what Albert meant.

Since Black Egg ...... From the beginning of the advent of the logistic machinery, rumors spread on the battlefield that those black eggs had abomination intelligence in them, because they were unmanned and unguided, but they could do anything.

The current unmanned artillery makes this rumor even more convincing.

"Perhaps, but we need them now, otherwise we won't even be able to guarantee the logistics, will we?"

"The truth is that this is the ...... of the truth"

"Keep quiet on this matter, sometimes it's bad to know too much and talk too much."

"Hmm."

After a few words, Duncan and Albert tacitly ended the topic and changed the subject.

"What do you think these weapons are for?" Albert asked.

"Obviously, build a synth." Duncan expressed his judgment, "Our entire corps is an infantry regiment, and the armored forces have long been lost in the offensive plan, and we need weapons and equipment that can be used to attack the fortifications. ”

"Synthesize......" Albert agrees with Duncan.

"I can even imagine what it will be like when all the weapons and equipment are rationed." Duncan pointed to the Riemannus tank, "Each regiment has the Riemanus tank as the core, and a small number of elite infantry wear power armor and advance under the cover of unmanned artillery, maybe those soldiers wearing more powerful power armor will also come to lead us in the counterattack." ”

"Counter-attack, you say?" Albert was a little surprised.

"That's right, otherwise what else could the synthesizer be used for? Holding back in the fortress? Duncan said indifferently.

Speaking of this, Albert suddenly felt that Qin Mo was brewing a big battle.

A counteroffensive battle.

Now that the defensive line has been consolidated, and according to the latest news, the Cato settlement has also been lifted, and everyone has been stationed and now has gained a firm foothold, and it is time to counterattack.

Although the number of their own side is very small now, and the troops are not elite, they have been passively beaten so far, and the concept of counterattack alone is enough to make people's blood boil.

"But we're too few in number, do you think it's realistic to counterattack?" Albert asked.

"Instead of being passively beaten, we should counterattack." Duncan looked down at the charred metal ground beneath his feet, "We're actually just trapped beasts until now, if we must die, why can't we bite the rebels and die again?" Maybe someone will record our heroic deeds in the future. ”

This sentence contained a deep pessimism, and Albert frowned and lowered his head in contemplation, but the result of his contemplation was exactly the same as Duncan's.

In fact, everyone is still trapped in the beast, but they don't want to sit on the ground and wait for death, and no one really thinks that they can win.

If death is inevitable, then it is indeed wise to punch the rebels before dying.

All things considered, although there are no orders for a counteroffensive or other war from the communicator, the answer is obvious: a counteroffensive is inevitable.

"We will shine like meteors in the night sky, even if it is short-lived." Duncan said very literally.

"What is a meteor?" Albert asked, "I'm a nester, man, and if this thing called a star is in the sky, I've never seen it." ”

"A meteor is an astronomical phenomenon that bursts into the sky from the bottom of the nest and then arcs like a slingshot." Duncan replied very seriously.

Albert suddenly realized and nodded: "I haven't seen a meteor, but I know that if you use a tank to bombard the rebels, the effect of the rebels' corpses being blown away should be similar to the meteors you said." ”

Duncan nodded in approval, thinking that it should have a similar effect, after all, he had only heard of meteors and had never seen them.

The two friends were silent for a moment.

Duncan suddenly said, "The effect of us being blown up by the rebels should be the same." ”
