Chapter 455: Mission Impossible
The Dryad Brigade piled up more and more under the height of 192. The occasional grenade or bullet hit by a human being only seriously injured a few heads, and it could not solve the fundamental problem. They slowly formed a semi-encircled circle and attacked the hilltop position from the bottom up.
However, it was safe on the defensive depth between the two heights. Pan Zhixing's battalion and Zhao Dingying's battalion can form crossfire in this direction, and the dryads that attack rashly will be flanked from both sides, so there is less defensive pressure in this direction. If there are three defensive positions on the high ground covering each other, the defensive pressure will be much less.
But there are no ifs on the battlefield, and there are only two decent mountain buns here. Therefore, the defense of the front and left of the 14 battalion was extremely difficult.
Although the slinging tree spirit was not accurate and the damage was average, the warriors were so crushed by these endless, half-human stones that they could barely lift their heads.
Hundreds of tree spirits in the back, under the cover of the boulders, slowly climbed up the hillside. The barbed wire array hindered them somewhat, but not for long. Treants are huge, and a single fall can crush many traps.
The braver soldiers braved the rocks to enter the machine gun position and rain bullets at the dryads clearing the wrecker below. However, for a large tree spirit with rough bark, a steel core bullet is not fatal. They weren't as fragile as the vine demon just now.
A bullet that could easily kill a cow hit them with nothing but a large splash of wood chips. Only staring at a part to break their trunk, or supporting the root system of their body, can they be stopped.
The heavy machine gun was about as accurate at this distance as a boulder flying overhead. The best option to deal with this kind of large, slow-moving monster is a large number of accurate flat-firing smoothbore cannons that can be deployed in large numbers, and their kinetic energy shells can take away one end with one shot. This is company-level equipment, and the 14 battalion is equipped with four guns. But like more good things, it's still on the other side of the Wuyang River.
So you can't fill in this river?" Pan Zhixing kept complaining in his heart.
He replaced Tao Hua, the deputy battalion commander, and himself manipulated the heavy machine gun to fire wildly at the approaching enemy. Tao Hua had just been hit by a boulder, and his spiritual power had been halved from Ruo Buyi. If you take another shot, Liruo cloth will be the same as ordinary cloth clothes. They need to be buried in the dirt and absorb the power of the depths of the earth for days on end. But in this case, a soldier who has no defense is equivalent to losing his combat effectiveness.
The soldiers in the other machine-gun positions also adopted this rotation strategy, and everyone took turns to be shot.
Don't forget that the top is just an ordinary tree spirit now, and there must be an elite tree spirit with a demonic shield in the back. This kind of enemy bullet has no effect, and you have to use the divine lightsaber to melee combat.
At that time, if there was no spiritual power from Ruobuyi, ordinary soldiers would be as dangerous as fruit bodies. Everyone will lose the courage to face the youkai head-on, and they must leave behind the defensive spirit power that can be swept by the Dryad at least once.
Guan Xiaoqiao was guarding Pan Zhixing's side, and if there was a stone flying over, she would use the divine light sword in her hand to block the stone. Her magic weapon is a coin, which can kill very powerful monsters, but the sword is not good at it. This divine lightsaber was still held temporarily. As a high-level cultivator, she is still very stable in dealing with slow-moving big stones. The material of the divine light sword is sturdy black iron, so you don't have to worry about breaking if you collide with granite.
But she can only protect Pan Zhixing alone. More than a hundred stone-throwing tree spirits pressed up in the main formation of the tree spirits, and they moved to the front of the position and threw stones upward. It seems that the commander on the demon side has discovered the doorway of the 14th battalion, and their fortifications in this direction are almost zero.
"Oh, why is there so many stones on this big mountain!" Guan Xiaoqiao's face was hit by a stone, and although he was not injured, he was also scattered. She was so angry that she thumped her fists on the ground and tied her hair up with a headband.
At this point, casualties at the top of the hill began to increase significantly. The two soldiers, who had exhausted their defensive powers, were smashed into meatloaf, and although they had managed to shrink into the deepest part of the trench, they did not escape their fate.
So more machine gun positions were muted.
Without the interference of rapid-fire fire, the tree spirits clearing the obstacle on the hillside quickly consumed the barbed wire. The dryads in the back step on the remains of their companions to cross the obstacles, which is the dryad's specialty.
The eight-headed tree spirits at the front quickly approached the top of the mountain, their teeth and claws sticking out of their dense sharp branches. If an unlucky egg is caught by this branch, he will be dragged out and smoked indiscriminately, and his death will be extremely tragic.
But before that, the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time threw their hands and thunders to blow them all up.
Another batch of tree spirits poured in. This time, there were three tree elves in front of them with a faint green aura on their bodies. More than a dozen hand thunder volleys exploded, only to make the demonic shield shake, and the dryads were unharmed.
Live weapons have little to no effect on demonic shields. In the previous battle with the demon clan, when it came to this point, ordinary soldiers had only one choice to retreat.
Because what follows is the battlefield of cultivators.
However, the current mortal soldiers are not as embarrassed as they were back then.
"Draw your sword!" Tao Hua ordered with a roar.
The soldiers of the two squads drew their swords and slashed angrily, and twenty divine lights flew vertically and horizontally, dismantling the three elite tree spirits in front of them. The remnants of the divine light continued unabated, and he cut down more than half of the ordinary tree spirits behind him.
The Divine Light Sword has two major flaws. First, the firing range is too short, fifty meters is the limit, which is almost the combat distance of a pistol. So at a longer distance, the soldiers still have to rely on automatic fire.
Another point is that the spiritual power reserve is only three light wheels, and it can only be saved again and again in battle.
But the Divine Light Sword is still too important. Civilians gave it another name: the Sword of Dignity.
Because the dignity of mortals is maintained by this sword.
Because of the divine light sword, mortals are no longer like ants in the face of the demon race. Because of the Divine Light Sword, cultivators no longer regard mortals as cannon fodder, but as important combat power.
The wishful thinking of the demon clan failed. However, they may have already gotten rumors of the Divine Light Saber, so they didn't appear too surprised. The Dryads no longer sent a small force to send them to death, but increased the input of long-range forces.
More than 500 Treads joined the battle, and they picked up stones and hurled them at the top of the hill, a number that caused great trouble to the soldiers of the 14th Battalion.
Even Guan Xiaoqiao couldn't stop so many stone throws, and she, like Pan Zhixing, had to hide in the trenches. The rocks smashed indiscriminately on the top of the head, carrying a huge amount of kinetic energy. The shock waves passed down the earth into the warriors' bodies, and each time it was like thunder, and everyone's chests ached.
And then there are more boulders. The tunnels of some trenches have been completely suppressed by boulders, and it seems that the demon clan wants to bury the humans on the hilltop alive. It's a good way to reduce battle damage.
"It can't go on like this. Guan Xiaoqiao shrank his head and suggested, "Old Pan, we have to chop up all those stone-throwing tree spirits." ”
"I know!" Pan Zhixing's eyes were serious, "I have a plan, but ......"
"Don't, but. Guan Xiaoqiao interrupted him, "Just choose C! Lao Pan, don't you trust me!"
Guan Xiaoqiao knew that this plan must be carried out by her, the only cultivator in the 14th battalion.
"Okay!" Pan Zhixing applauded loudly, and Guan Xiaoqiao clasped his hands tightly. The plan was dangerous and almost impossible to accomplish. However, he trusts this wise and brave girl more. This is the trust between comrades-in-arms!
Pan Zhixing took out the key materials from behind him, and it was the two boxes of incendiary bombs that he brought by the way.
He laid out the plan succinctly.
First of all, the Dryads are afraid of fire, so you can use these two boxes of incendiary bombs to burn all the Dryads that throw stones underneath.
However, the 14th Battalion did not have an incendiary bomb launcher on hand, so the only cultivator had to close the small bridge, and the human flesh threw this box of incendiary bombs into the middle of the stone throwing tree spirit.
"Smack!" Tao Hua, the deputy battalion commander who had been listening, shook his hand and gave himself a resounding slap.
Pan Zhixing and Guan Xiaoqiao looked at him inexplicably.
"It's okay, you go on. ”
Tao Hua actually wanted to say, there is a burning bomb, you should say it earlier!
This model of incendiary bullets is a general-purpose ammunition that can be fired with the underhanging grenade canister of an automatic rifle, just like a grenade. There is no need to risk rushing down at all.
But!
Maybe what kind of "battlefield intuition" is this? Tao Hua looked up to the realm of these two people. Don't you hear they even have option C?
Therefore, Tao Hua gave himself a slap in the face, so as not to be able to resist the military order.
Guan Xiaoqiao opened a crack in the earthen wall of the trench and looked down the mountain. Because the demon clan was already planning to bury them alive, there were no more tree spirits on the hillside, and most of them were concentrated in front of the slinging position.
It seems that the generals of the demon clan have realized that the humans may launch a counter-charge, so they have arranged guards in front of them. Rushing to the ground could not remove these big tree spirits in front of them. And those chaotic and damaged barbed wire positions are now an obstacle to humanity.
However, Guan Xiaoqiao is a high-level cultivator, and although it is difficult to rush over, it is not without a chance. She nodded, but there was one more question.
Before Xiaoqiao brought it up, Pan Zhixing already knew.
"Xiaoqiao, I know you can't use the fire trick, so you can't light an incendiary bomb. "So here's the hardest part of the plan!"
He actually lit a cigarette and stuffed it into Guan Xiaoqiao's mouth.
Throughout the operation, Guan Xiaoqiao needs to hold two heavy boxes of incendiary shells to overcome various obstacles on the hillside and avoid the entanglement of melee tree spirits. She needed to rush a full six hundred yards of dangerous distance, rush in front of the slingers, and finally throw the courier between them.
But it would be a mistake to think that this is all there is to the action!
The real challenge of this operation was how to detonate the incendiary bombs that were thrown. It definitely won't work with a lighter, there is no chance at all.
Pan Zhixing solved this problem with a cigarette genius. As long as Kobashi throws out the ammo box and then uses the method of catapulting a coin to shoot the cigarette butt into the ammo box in the Treant Brigade, it can be successfully detonated.
But this represents Guan Xiaoqiao's adventure, and the whole process is only a short cigarette. If the cigarette burns out and goes out, or if it falls out of your mouth due to coughing, the entire mission will be
Down for the count!
"So that's the real Missio
– Impossible!" Pan Zhixing said solemnly, "Xiaoqiao, if you think it's too dangerous, I won't blame you. I'm a strong man!"
"Knock! knock!"
Guan Xiaoqiao hadn't said anything yet, and Tao Hua, the deputy battalion commander on the side, found a stone, holding it with both hands and kept hitting his head.
Is there a vacuum in your mind? Tao Hua overturned the coffee table in his heart. Even if you have a little bit of air in your brain, you should know that the incendiary bomb is fused and not lit with a cigarette butt, bastard!
He hit his head on the stone and bled out, then smiled at the two commanders and said, "I'm fine, you go on!"
Guan Xiaoqiao's face was cloudy, and her heart was struggling violently. She loves life, she doesn't want to die, but.
"One hundred and fifty years of coastal monks, the righteousness of the war is today!"
"Old Pan, do it for me!"
