From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars

Chapter 63 Counterattack from now on

Although traces of friendly forces have appeared, the current battle situation is still very unfavorable for Amber.

With the equipment he currently has, it would be difficult to cause harm to this HCP.

Moreover, after the imperial troops took the lead, the entire team was dispersed.

This also resulted in the fact that the only three equipment in the team that could fight HCP - the ultra-short wave reconnaissance jammer vehicle, the 'Breaker 2' exoskeleton, and the portable electromagnetic gun - could not be found by Amber in a short period of time.

Under electronic attack, the entire data link is blocked. Friendly units that usually can know their location by just glancing at their tactical visors are now harder to find than the enemy.

In this case, Amber was unable to regroup her troops.

In the shadow of the woods, Amber kept adjusting her position so that she was always behind the 'fanatic'.

Although a large amount of space is occupied by the plasma propulsion array behind this HCP, there are still many sensors arranged, so that the 'back position' is not a blind spot for its perception.

But the sensors behind these are more often used to provide early warning of attacks launched in blind spots of vision.

Without exception, HCP has a full-circle cockpit. The pilot inside has a 360° omnidirectional field of view, but the human field of view is only 120°, and what can be seen at the same time is limited.

As the core head main monitor, although it integrates a large number of composite investigation equipment, it is the investigation unit with the strongest detection capability on the entire HCP.

But the main monitor is bound to the pilot's head through the 'Control Operating System'.

It will amplify the corresponding operations based on the pilot's head movements in the cockpit.

Generally speaking, when the orientation of the aircraft remains unchanged, the pilot only needs to turn his head 35°-40° to rotate the main monitor 180° to see the picture directly behind him.

The premise is that the pilot must turn his head.

Therefore, as long as Amber can avoid triggering the attack warning of the sensor behind the 'Zealot' and avoid the observation range of the main monitor on her head, she can avoid being discovered by this HCP to a certain extent.

If it were a plain area with no shelter, this would definitely not be possible.

No matter how high the HCP's back sensor is, it can still detect approaching human units and issue early warnings.

But with the help of optical stealth and the complex terrain of mountains and forests, Amber is still confident that she can do this.

"Lilith, I have given you access to the communication and data link modules."

"Received, the module has been connected!"

While Amber kept roaming covertly, he also began to try another way to find the ultra-short wave reconnaissance jamming vehicle.

The current communication channels and data links are interfered by electronic attacks, resulting in blockage and loss of contact, but this does not mean that various units are not sending and receiving signals.

It can even be said that the communication modules of all units have triggered emergency mode under the electronic attack and are running at higher power than usual in an attempt to restore contact and data transmission.

But in a complex electromagnetic environment, when faced with the powerful HCP electronic warfare module, the small equipment was temporarily at a disadvantage.

It is impossible for humans to find those communication modules that are overloaded in this situation.

But for AI that can directly read digital signals, it can be done.

If you materialize this scene.

That is, when Lilith was connected to the data link and communication module, she seemed to briefly leave Amber's body and turned into a string of digital signals wandering in the surrounding space.

While avoiding the violent and messy electronic attack storm and virus data flow, he found the high-power communication equipment around him.

In Lilith's 'eyes', these radiation sources were as bright as a fire in the dark night.

"Marked according to the radiation intensity of the signal source!"

"The relative position of the signal source has been projected on the tactical visor, and the signal strength is distinguished according to the color depth!"

Lilith is very efficient in serious mode, or for an artificial intelligence, this is her job, not to peek at Amber's study materials.

"Well done, Lilith! Keep it up!"    "Hehe~"

Ignoring the silly laugh from the artificial intelligence, Amber quickly glanced at a large number of red marks on the tactical visor.

This is the communication module marked by Lilith. The darker the color, the higher the radiation intensity of the signal source.

Among them, most of the marks with shallow radiation intensity and similar working modes are probably the individual communication modules of the mobile infantry.

And just as Amber had judged before, they were already scattered throughout the mountain forest.

At the same time, Amber also saw the darkest signal source at a glance.

Among the team, only the ultra-short wave reconnaissance and jamming vehicle could achieve such signal radiation intensity.

Now that the target's location had been confirmed, Amber stopped inking and began to touch in this direction.

At the same time, this ‘fanatic’ also gave Amber a chance.

His pilot seemed to have become somewhat interested in the crushing battle situation.

This guy actually put the Gauss rifle on the weapon rack behind his back during the battle, and took off the ornately decorated solid heavy sword.

As the hilt of the epee was connected to the energy supply interface on the mechanical arm, the edge of the epee's blade also lit up with the blue light of plasma.

Immediately afterwards, the 'Zealot' rushed in a certain direction amid the sudden burst of blue light from the propulsion array.

"Fuck! This pervert."

Amber, who took advantage of this opportunity to pass quickly, couldn't help but curse secretly.

There is no target worthy of drawing the sword in his own team.

Switching the weapon to a physical epee at this time can only mean that the pilot is planning to start killing 'soft targets' such as mobile infantry.

Amber did not waste this opportunity that might have been bought by the mobile infantry with their lives, and quickly found the ultra-short wave reconnaissance and interference vehicle that was covered in camouflage nets and hiding behind a dense group of trees.

The sudden appearance of Amber after the optical stealth was released startled the three mobile infantrymen near the interference vehicle. A highly nervous recruit even almost opened fire.

But Amber didn't have time to talk to them at this time. After ordering them to continue to find a place to hide and be on guard, he stepped into the interior of the interference vehicle through the tailgate in two steps.

The three busy electronic warfare technicians in the crew cabin seemed to have seen a savior and backbone after seeing Amber.

After losing contact with other people just now, without the commander's interference vehicle, the crew lacked subjective initiative, so they didn't know where to maneuver for a while.

If the most senior crew member in the team hadn't risked his life to expose himself and attracted the firepower of the 'fanatics', this interference vehicle might have been discovered and blown up long ago.

"It's old John and his son"

An electronic warfare technician said with a lonely expression: "This is the first time I have seen old John so brave."

Amber couldn't help but clenched his fists because he had an impression of the father and son.

The former was the first soldier to stand up and report to him when he rescued the team that was under attack.

But Amber had no time to mourn for the father and son at this time, because every second wasted may result in the death of another soldier.

"Lilith, I will now hand over the electronic warfare module of the ultrashort wave reconnaissance and interference vehicle to you for operation."

Amber took out a shortcut interface from the wrist of the combat suit and connected it to the electronic warfare module of the jamming vehicle.

"Fight back and then kill me!"

"understand!"
