Chapter 24 Chapter 1.24 Ambush Battle

Although the midsummer in September has not yet dissipated, it is not so hot in the mountains.

However, the autumn dryness of the people who came out of Ji'an City has intensified.Because they have been stuck in a battlefield that seems to be a "glue-infused swamp" for half a month.

At this moment, on a road suitable for ambushes in the mountains, the beastmaster Zeng He and Fang Hong, both dressed in woolen coats, were avoiding something next to their mechanical beasts.In front of the mechanical beast, another dragon and horse fell to the ground.

The dragon horse's head has completely exploded.The kinetic energy of the sniper rifle projectile is released on the head of the carbon-based creature, which is completely shredded. Because it has just been killed, it is still twitching, the muscles behind the anus are out of control, and the feces are pouring out.

After a few seconds, it seemed that the surroundings were less dangerous, and the two beastmasters asked the accompanying soldiers to drag the dead dragon horse in front of them.

After taking back the body of Longma, the mechanical beast opened its mouth and swallowed it.The belly of the mechanical beast, which was protected by the iron armor of the lobster ring shell structural steel, bulged.

Half an hour later, the mechanical monster spit out a meaty egg.After the meat and eggs were broken, a new dragon and horse emerged from the shell.After the newborn dragon horse was born, its legs were still trembling, and it couldn't wait to devour the meat and egg shells and surrounding plants.

At this time, 750 meters away, Wei Keng, with dried green grass hanging on his body, observed the situation of the Beast Master convoy through the 4-9 times free zoom lens of the sniper rifle, and had no intention of continuing to shoot.

200 meters to the left of the sniper position, Wei Keng over there was using semaphore to communicate with the artillery position four to 500 meters behind.In other words, once the snipers encounter any problems, they can directly report the shelling position to the mortar team.

But so far, the intensity of the war has not reached the level of letting the guns go.

The job of an outpost is to lag the opponent, constantly wasting the opponent's time.

……

In the face of the opponent's advance, at present, Wei Keng's main force has made observations in several passes, and the initial arrangements have been made in advance.Although it is said that the enemy will not take the initiative to hit this pocket array under normal intelligence, but what if they are mentally retarded?For example: a French roller enthusiast sent a clear order to turn in.So, prepare as much as you can within the strategic time.

As for the task of the front line, it is to keep an eye on which way the opponent is going.

Wei Keng's strategic brain: If the enemy does not take the pass and chooses an area with a width of at least 1000 meters to advance, this small battle group with only [-] carriages will have to go around a curve of three to four hundred kilometers.So it's right that the enemy scrambling team now specializes in killing these master's horses.

What kind of tactics to use against what kind of opponent.If the enemy is a military force with a strong will to fight and a quick artillery counterattack.Wei Keng's sniper team will shoot at multiple sniper locations at the same time, and directly kill its leader, or other high-value targets, and immediately transfer after one shot, to prevent the opponent from determining the position based on the sound and forcing it. Artillery fire coverage.

but now? ~
There was a joke, the soldier reported to the officer: There is a sniper over there, but his marksmanship is terrible, and he can't hit us for days in a row.Commander: Since we found out, why not kill it immediately.Soldier: So what if they switch to a standard marksman.

The above joke is the situation Wei Keng is facing, but the sniper whose marksmanship is "bad" is the opposite.Now Wei Keng makes Fang Hong and Zeng He's advance unable to travel five kilometers a day, which is a disaster for the army that undertakes the offensive mission.

Anyway, Wei Keng's stay in this plane has been extended to [-] days now, which is time-consuming.

Just like cooking meat with slow fire, attack their vehicles, and at least give them a little mobility to collect surrounding water sources and find firewood.The fire is under control, lest they jump over the wall in a hurry.

As an ordinary person, Wei Keng deeply knows what it will be like to enter a state of procrastination.Dragging and procrastinating, it changed from "progress to the number one place in the next test" to "it's better to take the test later" and "the test results will be released later".

Without a plan, you will end up getting nowhere.

As for Wei Keng, the new steelmaking furnace has already melted the rail steel, the brine by the sea is drying, and the tasks on the schedule are advancing every day.

……

Returning to the battlefield, seeing that the opponent is so bad, they can easily hold back. It is absolutely impossible for them to get close to the Weikeng area without taking some important passes.And if they walked through the pass at this speed, Wei Keng could send them a pocket formation.

Therefore, when it went on, there were no opportunities to create opportunities. Wei Keng deliberately gave up some corner fighters and was patient with them.

In the observation position,
Wei Keng was also very interested in these mechanical beasts.Originally thought that this was just a fusion of machinery and biology, with a strong recovery ability.

But when he found out that this thing could actually swallow the corpse, Wei Keng was very curious about this scene.

Of course, after a systematic introduction, this is not a resurrection, but a new individual based on the wreckage.

The vomited Ryoma is actually not in good condition, and as soon as it comes out, it eats a lot of the surrounding vegetation.

And this is regenerated under the life radiation of the mechanical war beast, and the mechanical war beast also consumes energy in the process.Therefore, every time the mechanical beast "recasts" the dragon horse, it will be sluggish like seven times a night.

After understanding the ins and outs of this process.

Wei Keng: "I will kill the horse, you will build it, I will kill it, and you will build it again. We will continue in this mode. I will consume a few bullets, and you will consume time and energy."

However, if the people of Ji'an City really follow this model and slowly go to failure like a computer AI, it would be abnormal.

As for people, they often take advantage of the cards in their hands, so they have to jump once!
……

In the afternoon, when the new dragon horse was barely pulling the cart, the two beastmasters did not move on.

In the slowly setting sun, they had a heated discussion.

Since it was too far apart, it was unclear what they were talking about, so Wei Keng thought it was discussing the issue of "advance or retreat".

After the two discussed.There seems to be some conclusion.

Zeng He walked to his dragon-shaped beast, closed his eyes and resonated with it.

A few minutes later, an egg was born from the tail of the huge mechanical dragon beast.After the eggshell was opened, a carrier pigeon flew out.The two tied the letter to the pigeon's leg and released it.

It was difficult for Wei Keng to aim at the galloping small target, so he could only let it fly over.But Wei Keng here notified himself who was stalking near Ji'an City.And the combat decision-making circle took out the record of "relief".

In this plan, a capable team is dispatched and begins to intersperse the rear to observe which way the reinforcements will go.In order to facilitate their own large troops to move to a suitable position to intercept and kill.

However, here Wei Keng is calculating how much force Ji'an City will send out of the city.Over there, things have changed again

He was in charge of staring at the outposts of Zeng He and Fang Hong's team and discovered new situations.

Wei Keng was on duty at eight o'clock in the evening with night vision goggles, and suddenly found that the two animal masters were moving tonight.

After 10 minutes, it was determined that their entire convoy seemed to be feeding Ryoma something, and moved quickly.Wei Keng has already confirmed that these two guys will make a big advance by taking advantage of the darkness.

Good guy, Wei Keng is directly good guy. Like a mobile game player who caught a money brushing bug, he immediately greeted the reserve team that he has been on standby through the system's communication system.

Don't worry about when to fight, you can eat meat tonight!
In the rear camp, Wei Keng's 200-man team immediately pulled up the camp.

As for where the other party wants to intersperse?Wei Keng didn't even have to look at the map, he marched at night, and he was still driving a horse-drawn carriage, waiting on the mountain road to roll down the cliff.If they didn't escape, there was only one way ahead.

As a result, Wei Keng arrived at the area two hours ahead of schedule and set up an ambush.

……

Zeng He was sitting in the carriage, and there was a silent night outside the window. All the dragons and horses now have their eye sockets enlarged in the opening and closing of their head bones, so as to receive more light, and all the personnel are also mouthing. The wooden balls move silently.

The mountains are like crawling beasts in the night, retreating little by little, and as the mountains continue to move, new mountains appear ahead.And as we moved forward, the mountain in front was getting closer and closer, and gradually the convoy entered it.The shadows of the mountains on both sides clamped the convoy, like a beast opening its mouth.

Somehow, Zeng He felt uneasy, and although she urged to act fast during the daytime argument, it didn't mean she was completely sure.Since the march at night, her heart has been pounding.

Fang Hong was the first to speak. After reading the surrounding terrain, the beast master said in a low voice, "This is not a good place."

Zeng He stuck his head out of the window and looked at it, agreeing: "If you arrive here during the day, there must be an ambush on the mountains on both sides. We have to pass here quickly."

She gestured to the soldier on the periphery, who put his finger to his lips, simulating a few night owl calls, and then the line began to speed up.

……

At the same time, on the top of the hill, Wei Keng watched the team start to accelerate, and recklessly drilled into the pocket formation.

This, for anything that is not safe, the closer to the result, the faster Wei Keng's heart beats.

Wei Keng did not have ventriloquism to learn bird calls to signal, but he had a system to relay messages.

As early as when Fang Hong's team was delayed, Wei Keng's brigade dug trenches on both sides of the hillsides at some important ambush locations along the way.Therefore, after getting the information, you will be the first to march here, and you will be able to enter the battlefield immediately.

As the adventurers in Ji'an City completely fell into the trap, Wei Keng, the "stable dog", finally exported the "big name" in his hand.

More than 30 waste rubber wheels stuffed with hay ignited and rolled down the hillside. The flames illuminated the position of the convoy in the valley, and at the same time chilled Fang Hong and Zeng He's team.

"Papapapa..." With twenty gunshots, all the animal forces of the team fell to the ground again. This time, it wasn't one or two. With the current terrain, Wei Keng felt that he could use the minimum cost. They all stay.

"Counterattack!" Fang Hong took the lead in issuing an order when Zeng He was still in a daze.

The water-cooled heavy machine gun in the carriage opened fire, and the bullets hit the positions on the hillsides on both sides, sending out a lot of smoke. Of course, wherever the bullets were strafing, Wei Keng bowed his head.Wherever the machine guns left, Wei Keng would open fire.

The water-cooled heavy machine gun is heavier than the general-purpose machine gun, but the firepower is better.If it weren't for the geographical advantage of occupying the high ground on both sides, Wei Keng really wouldn't have the confidence to control the casualties.

The 60mm mortar on the top of the hill opened fire. According to the trajectory marked by the system, the shell precisely landed on the first carriage and penetrated in. Then the entire carriage exploded in the flames, and the heavy machine gun on the carriage also became Several pieces of parts flew 20 meters away together with the wreckage of the car body.

The firepower of sweeping the hillside suddenly decreased, and even the other machine gunners panicked and began to look at where the artillery came from.

At this time, there was a sound in the valley, and Wei Keng thought that the words were correct, but for this place, it was obviously the persuasion of the northern accent: "We already have an absolutely dominant terrain, and have enough artillery to destroy you, now put down your weapons and attack me. Fang's surrender is your only chance, and stubborn resistance will only lead to perdition."

Zeng He raised his head, looked at the flickering torches all over the mountains and plains, and felt that his 150-man army was too small.

In fact, Wei Keng's ambush team consisted of 200 people, but after relying on the mountain, it seemed that the encirclement was very large. Of course, her feeling was correct, it was true that thousands of people could not rush up.

Following Wei Keng's shouting, the team had obviously lost their will to fight, and the gunshots were scattered.

Boom, the huge mechanical beast charged.People's will to fight may disappear, but the mechanical beasts controlled by the beast master will never be like this. As a beast master, Fang Hong does not want to admit his current failure, so he overwhelmed his last one. cards.

Looking at the steel behemoth that was ignoring the bullets, Wei Keng gave him a thumbs up.

If these people in the valley still have the will to fight, rely on this heavy semi-mechanical biochemical unit to carry out the tactics of step-tank coordination.You might be a little troublesome yourself.But now, this solitary thing rushed up, not threatening.

The sniper shot first, and the projectile blinded the beast's eyes. Of course, for its tyrannical vitality, it was only a short-term blindness. Wei Keng knew that this thing could repair the eyes.

[Actually, if you dissect this monster, you will find that there are multiple sets of eyes under the eye sockets, just like grape tumors. When the outermost eye is broken, one will be turned up within 10 minutes, and then nerves will emerge like worms. Brain nervous system docking.On average, it takes half a month to grow such an eye, so it is not possible to regenerate on the spot as Wei Keng thought. 】

Right now, Wei Keng doesn't expect to use sniper bullets to destroy this giant beast of repair power, and of course he doesn't expect submachine gun bullets to wear off the bloody skin a little bit. All the vital points of this beast are blocked by the steel shell. .

Wei Keng was sure that he didn't think about it carefully, so he had to study the double-base propellant and the concave charge when he went back. Iron fist was still needed.

Now, the guards on the hillside suddenly turned on their firepower, suppressing the machine guns below the hill.

Then, a few Wei Keng ran down through the ditch, followed the traffic ditch to the side of the giant beast, and smashed the clay pot with the burning cloth in his hand directly at the beast's head.

Morovsky cocktail, this is the drink that the Armored Forces always have to taste.

After throwing the cup, the defender Keng hid in the corner of the Z-shaped trench, and the flames covered the entire body of the behemoth.

A few minutes later, the high temperature of the burning destroyed the mechanism of the giant beast's muscles to open the mechanical cover and pull the firearm.Because of the good heat conduction of this metal armor, when the flame continued to burn, some oil dripped out from the inner gap of the iron plate, stabbing and stabbing.

In the end, these armored monsters stomped through the trench on the third line of defense on the slope. After a few slaps with the mechanical claws, they grabbed a few pieces of soil on the edge of the trench, and fell to the ground in the pit.

At the bottom of the hillside, Fang Hong, who had originally relied on the beast as the decisive unit, and his soldiers.After raising his head in the suppression of firepower, he found that the war beast was finished, the last hope was shattered, and morale was wiped out.A white flag hangs high from the carriage.

At the same time, the kumquats contained in the pots were ripe, but after one fell, there was not much pulp inside, like cotton wool.
