People's Federation will live forever

On the crater behind the colonel, several light spots flew into the distance in a row, and the sound of solid sound transmission gunshots came from the radio!

Chapter 31 Victory in sight?

The horizon that the sniper sees doesn't match what the colonel sees, and it's not the same as the black hand.

Only an idiot would fight the enemy face to face.

On the shooting platform built on the crater at the side and rear, the sniper company wearing a pure white hard spacesuit set up a stabilizer. Relying on the power of the exoskeleton, a big guy nearly two meters long was fixed on the tripod. Accompanied by Jin Tai The green light on the battery box was on, and the observation drone was released by the deputy and climbed rapidly.It will weave a wider field of view of the battlefield together with the drones released from other positions of the Guards.

"Azimuth at 12 o'clock, distance, 3674 meters, number of targets 300.400...The number of targets continues to grow."

After the tactical data network is integrated, the optical observation and intelligent aiming programs will report back to the shooter's helmet.The shooter puts the shoulder-mounted 20mm rail rifle in the right position, the cabinet-type ammunition box sends the large magnetized iron nail into the gun chamber through the bullet chain, the gun is locked, and the sawtooth double cannon...the barrels are shining white The arc...

What flew out of Colonel Malashenko's head was the magnetized iron nail flying at Mach [-], and what glowed was its ionized high-temperature surface.Twenty rounds at a time, without paying attention to the principle of engagement, the shooter and the deputy fired simultaneously, dimmed a negligible bit in the dense beta group on the radar, although the disappearance was quickly replaced by others, but its incidental effect was hard to be witnessed .

From the 32-fold horizontal sight of the rail rifle, which is more like a rocket launcher than a gun, the shooter can clearly see the glowing projectile rushing into the beta vanguard with the chariot class as the main force, flying in a vacuum is a nearly perfect straight line The projectile pierced through the chariot-level red chest, and while the powerful kinetic energy tore the body apart, it got into the tightly packed cluster, rushing out a road of blood along the way.

Kill statistics... can't be done, but the first round of twenty snipers is not just one shot and one kill, maybe it will be double digits?

"First hit, correct trajectory!" The shooter chief shouted as he pushed the auxiliary sight on his helmet, and then he thought about it again, "Overkill, reduce battery output! No primary target, all personnel, free fire, repeat, free Fire!"

The heavy rail rifles started their salvos again. These modified versions of the anti-tank weapons once carried by the heavy armored soldiers began to shoot at an average speed of 1.5 seconds. From the perspective of the guard soldiers on the ground, this It was like an artificial meteor shower flying overhead.Since the snipers started to exert their strength, beta's forwards began to decrease in number slowly but firmly like a pile of sand blown by the wind.

The tactics are effective... Malashenko boosted some confidence in his heart. Seeing that the tank-level charging at high speed was enough to be visible on the horizon, he took a deep breath to ensure that his voice could shake the hearts of every soldier. Eardrum: "This is no different from Jia Xintu, our defense line will never fall! Rookies who have never seen blood, your chance is here!"

The distance of the exchange of fire has reached one kilometer, which may be too far in the atmosphere, but here is a vacuum, and the soldiers are not aiming with their eyes.The auxiliary system combined with the tactical network marked the best shooting parameters for their weapons, and the only thing they had to do was-"Hold the gun steady, hold it against your shoulder, and pull the trigger with your finger...but don't pull it dead, whoever even If you can't shoot one down with a few shots, go back and ask the political commissar to write a review!"

The colonel's encouragement was very encouraging, and the soldiers leaned against the vehicle, aiming their muzzles towards the horizon, and blue-white arcs flashed from the muzzles of their rifles.

According to battlefield data, although small-caliber ammunition and fragments can penetrate the skin of beta, it is difficult to cause fatal damage in the face of beta's strong self-healing ability.Moreover, at the moment when all materials depend on rear transportation, it is impossible to build a chemical plant on the moon to mass-produce metal fixed ammunition, but the rich basalt in the lunar sea can be used to extract iron from fusion furnaces.

Energy and iron, these two rare surpluses at the moment, force the guards after landing to replace them with electromagnetic weapons first. The heavy rail rifles used by the snipers are already infinitely close to the caliber of the gun (the 25mm standard of the People's Federation is the gun ), in contrast, the pulse rifles used by ordinary soldiers are coil-accelerated large-caliber metal ammunition with a fully automatic rate of fire.

The dense gunfire barrage covered the sky, and as the infantry fired, the automatic turrets deployed in various places also sprayed out scorching rays to cut through Beta's thick body. Pressurize and gather into a white light (3 stars) into the tide of flesh and blood.A red line seems to be drawn within the one-kilometer firefighting distance, and Beta has to pay dozens or even hundreds of dollars for every step forward.

It would take less than a minute for a chariot class to pass through this place at a speed of 1 kilometers per hour, but the oncoming bullets were not only dense but also very precise. They penetrated into the belly, crushed the head, severed the hands and feet, and hindered the advance of the large army.The spearheads of the forwards were flattened, and the fallen corpses were trampled into mud. Although Beta had no fear and had enough numbers to spread out the battle line, it also took time to spread out, and the wide wings were not thick enough, and the guards would choose not to go Regardless of the individuals spreading to the two wings and handing them over to the automatic turret, most of the firepower is concentrated in the center where Wuyang Wuyang can hardly see the end.

Stabilize the position. According to this progress, they will all be killed before they can move the distance to the defense line. Victory is in sight!

After finishing a standard forty-round wide magazine, reaching for another from the ammunition box of the armored vehicle is gradually becoming a mechanical repetition.The veterans recalled the great battle ten years ago. They also had sufficient psychological immunity in the face of hundreds of times the enemy, and their marksmanship was reassuring.But for the new recruits, especially Adonis, this was not only very fresh, but also very exciting, so that his long-term shooting fingers trembled slightly, and his hand slipped when he took out the magazine.

"Calm down, why panic, they haven't rushed to the front yet!"

The non-commissioned officer on the side quickly grabbed the magazine, and then slapped it on Adonis' chest. The latter shrank his neck, not daring to explain that he made the mistake because he hadn't adapted to the thick gloves of the hard spacesuit.He raised his gun after reloading - under the fierce fire of the guards, the edge of Beta's line had been piled up with layers of corpses, but they rolled over indifferently and continued to shorten the distance to 400 meters.

At 400 meters, he could already see the huge toothy mouth under the monster's abdomen through the auxiliary aiming. Before he pulled the trigger, he remembered some legends circulating in the military camp.

It is said that there is a star system 25 light-years away from the galaxy where the monsters came from.He didn't think about this issue before, but the more he looked at these five-fingered monsters with human-like teeth, the more he felt that the birth of these betas might be related to humans, or their appearance was a kind of monster aimed at humans. malicious?

Suddenly, a crimson light beam took away the target he was aiming at, and in a moment of astonishment, more light beams appeared from the side of the battlefield. Although the firepower was not stronger than that of the guards, they also drew away part of the betas on the flanks. up.This is not support, at least for now they don't need support.

What fired was a convoy that circled the side of the battlefield. They kept driving at high speed and did not miss a shot while driving.The plasma propulsion of the hoverbike led the vehicle to make a terrible drift in mid-air. They helped the guards eliminate the vanguard of beta while connecting to the guards' communication.

"These are just clusters of reconnaissance units gathered together, why haven't you solved them yet!"

The commander of the black hand asked sharply, as if he was addressing his subordinates, which made Colonel Malashenko furious, and was about to scold back, but the other party didn't give the colonel a chance to speak at all.

"Quickly clear the battlefield and strengthen your defense line, large-scale clusters are behind!"

Chapter 32 Capture Plan

The bullet was loaded, the sight was synchronized with the eyepiece crosshair, and he walked carefully across a section of gravel on the desolate lunar surface.Of course, it was difficult for such a large rifle to be carried by young arms. For example, when he was leaning against the wall and bypassing a meteorite, he accidentally let the barrel hit the rock wall-and what was worse, there was a Staring at the dead fish eyes, the pale and pale soldier level "smiled" at him with a grin.

"Wow--"

He was so frightened that he couldn't help screaming, and quickly pulled the trigger to shoot the monster in front of him at zero distance. The number of ammunition displayed on the screen dropped sharply, and the dense rain of bullets hit the soldier level from the abdomen to the top of the head. It became a lot of mosaics.The sudden fright made his heart beat faster, and adrenaline was secreted. While shouting, he held the gun and squeezed the trigger tightly, and he didn't slow down until the magazine was emptied.

"Careful, sideways!"

The girl's voice reminded him, and reminded him that the soldiers were all in groups, but it was too late.The little soldier was surrounded by a large group of soldiers in a blink of an eye. This scene was much scarier than before. Pairs of pale arms grabbed him like zombies. Nothing can be done.

"No!"

15 minutes later--

"Player JD, score: 20. Player Kate, score: 130... This simulation is over, and the battle data is restarting."

The soft voice of artificial intelligence tells the cruel reality. As the indoor lights come on, it is clear that this is a large-scale high-tech battle simulation field. Players can wear light augmented reality glasses and protective gear. Immerse yourself in a holographic environment.Since the popularization of this technology, it has become one of the most respected entertainments by the residents of Renlian, but due to the situation, fewer people play.

It is said that there will be an upgrade here to become a training ground for recruits... But these are not important, the little man squatted on the ground in frustration, even ignoring the red light warning of the cleaning drone on the side.

"JD, you died too fast, why don't you act like you've never touched a gun before."

The girl on the side took off her glasses and complained, and the other friends seemed to start talking about this girl——

"It's too nervous to play for the first time. My dad said that recruits make such mistakes most often, and they don't let go of the trigger."

"No way, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of?"

"Of course it's not scary. Although the data is collected from the moon, we are a children's zone, and the image has been harmonized. Even the blood has become a mosaic!"

The boys chatted, almost all of them military families, and soon discussed the war going on in the sky.Today's children are terribly precocious, and probably because of military families, their topic quickly rises from "my dad is the second batch of expeditionary forces" to the realistic problem of "what should I do if the traditional artillery completely fails in a vacuum" , I immediately forgot the little JD who looked disappointed.

But the girl named Kate didn't, she stretched out her hand and pulled JD up: "It's okay, you don't know how I will teach you."

JD's face turned red immediately, both of them were little guys under ten years old, and their shyness was purely because of their embarrassing performance.It took him a long time to tell the reason in a dull manner: "My dad...doesn't want me to touch the gun."

Kate tilted her head to express her incomprehension—Sira favored martial arts, and the People's Federation after the war also attached great importance to military affairs, and the status of soldiers was very high.At least in the eyes of children, being a soldier is a career worth aspiring to, no worse than being a scholar.

JD regretted it when he said it, and was especially afraid that Kate would ask who his parents were.This is Poseidon City. My mother Anya, the Chief Executive Officer of the People's Federation, brought me with me when I came here for a meeting. The agent responsible for taking care of me is nearby!As a child of a big man, he will naturally lack some freedom.

And his father, Marcus Phoenix, was a magnanimous, but extremely stubborn man in some ways.He vowed not to let his children step into the vortex of war again, hoping that he would become a scientist like his grandfather.Now that his father is fighting on the moon, little JD is very curious about the enemies his father will face.

"My mother went on a mission, and I have a whole day to arrange freely~ Do you have time, let's play another game?"

Carter didn't seem to care much, and after JD nodded excitedly, he grabbed his hand: "Follow me this time, follow my plan!"

---

"This bastard!"

Marcus sighed and turned off the information screen on his helmet.It might compromise privacy, but he and Anya, the two high-level children of the People's Federation, are under the protection of the Security Bureau, and it is easy to know his son's situation.The agent reported JD's news truthfully, and he knew that his persistence was meaningless.

And this caught Bud's attention—he drank a large mouthful of nutrient solution from the straw inside the helmet, smashed his mouth and patted his brother on the shoulder: "Brother, you can't ask your son to follow your plan Go, give him some freedom, let him choose what he likes to do... As parents, if we control too much, our children will hate it."

"Times have changed, but nothing has changed!"

Bud got up from the suspension motorcycle, and stretched out his fingers to the distant place, which was covered by the crater, but the blond man's eyes were so far-reaching, he saw the beta swarm rushing like the tide, and saw the artillery fire flying over the guard position, The soldiers lit up all the guns on hand, and the burning will had been transmitted to his ears via the radio.Fighting, the tide of flesh and blood trembled the earth, and the human defense line was in jeopardy.

"As parents, we all want to clear the way for our children and give them a carefree life, but it's impossible, bro."

Bud looked at the bright starry sky above his head, and the beautiful Sira, who was so close at hand.If it weren't for the low gravity, he would almost shed a poet's tear: "You know what I found, Marcus? It's that the world is full of malice, and there's only so much our generation can do. Our children must It is good for them to recognize the cruelty of reality earlier."

The blond man shook his head and concluded with a sigh: "Times have changed, but war, war has never changed."

Marcus watched Bud's performance speechlessly, he opened his mouth, wanting to point out that these words were spoken by the leader, and he was just learning and selling.But when it came to the next generation, he became serious: "You and Sharman said the same? Does she agree?"

"It's... different! My daughter is only five years old, it's better to be a little later."

Cole on the side laughed, but suddenly found it very embarrassing, he was the only one present who was not married yet!An athlete who was famous all over the world, a war hero, he never seemed to think about marriage...

But—"I'm sorry to interrupt your topic about children's education. Such topics are not so pleasant to me, a single dog."

dog?What kind of creature is that? (Sylla has no dogs)

As soon as Li De summoned the three of them with a wave of his hand, he opened a holographic map around the hoverbike.Although this is about business, Bud chuckled and said, "Leader, I've always wanted to know, can an existence like you reproduce?"

...

Talking and laughing can't hide the reality that this is a battlefield, and Li De didn't bring their three protagonists here to watch.Everyone knows what happened a hundred kilometers away, and the urgency to send all the troops of the expeditionary force into the battlefield is to create a condition for this elite force.

Capture light levels.

The meeting held in the city of Poseidon on Sira also revolved around this matter. The biggest threat of betas to human beings is their light level-light-speed strikes, destroy when found, artillery shells, missiles, and any form of aircraft. Ability to survive before it.Even if Li De can use the ability of the prophet to avoid most risks for the army, and there are watchers who use light-level instincts to develop super-saturation strike methods, human beings still need to know its fundamental operating mechanism.

And Li De just knows the root of making a small light-level body unleash great destructive power, which comes from the two artifacts that human creators can't decide when they are in trouble-quantum mechanics and the latter of the new substance, the new substance G element.

Li De has carefully recalled the efficacy of the G element. This element that only exists in light-level bodies and lairs is a substance extracted by beta by unknown means, and it may also be the main target of these biological mining.Through its MUV Earth humans developed the "Seraphim" force field (commemorating the first victim, Dr. Seraph), which is an artificial gravity control technology—

I repeat, gravitational control. In terms of gravitation, human beings have made no progress except for the discovery of gravitons. Einstein's "unified force field" has been proven to be the crown of the next generation of basic science for human beings. This is certainly a ready-made treasure.

Capture it, master the gravitational technology, and human beings will have a chance to be reborn.

"Even for this war right now, it's critical."

Li De said so, and he motioned to Bard to let him prove that this operation is definitely not exchanging the lives of soldiers for useless gains at the moment.As a top student, he thought a lot from Li De's explanation.

"We can't use the air force or warships to bomb the beta because of the light-level lasers, and the heavy light-level lasers can burn the entire Nibelungen."

Bard, who had just been taught by Li De for talking too much, put his hand on his chin in the helmet and fell into thought: "If there is a shield that can deflect laser light, it will be completely different...Shield, I will go! This is not science fiction Is it only in the novel?"

"The sci-fi of the predecessors is the life of today's people, and we, the People's Federation, are always looking for the future. It's not surprising."

Marcus and Cole looked at each other, suffering from being uneducated, but at least they understood that what they were going to do was really important, so they couldn't help but raise their heads and ask Li De.

"What should we do?"

"Hunting, capturing." Li De snapped his fingers silently, causing the suspended motorcycle to move. "The target is attacking the ray level in the beta cluster of the guards."

Have you forgotten the image of our protagonist team?

Marcus, Dom, Bud, Cole, the blonde is Anya, the brunette is Sharman

This is the protagonist team over there, let's compare it yourself 2333

PS: Let a group of European-style tough guys and protagonists fight against the enemies of the butter world view. The two different styles always make me feel a bit...special.

Readers who have written a little bit of daily life and don't understand the characters or the new trilogy of Gears of War, just need to know

JD: Son of Marcus, only 8 years old at this time

Kate: The granddaughter of the orc queen Mira, the heroine of the fifth generation.Her mother appeared as a soldier in the National Day special, and Li De ended their family's twisted fate. Her acquaintance with JD is undoubtedly the result of the end of the world line.

Chapter 33 The Line of Defense Broken

The battlefield on the lunar surface was silent, only the continuous flashes of light proved the ongoing battle here - the lightning of the thunder put its power on the metal bullets that were ejected at high speed, and they shot out with great force, and the distance of two kilometers In a flash.

The contact between the tumbling metal and flesh and blood was brutal, although we still can't tell whether Beta's body is flesh and blood.Not to mention the kinetic energy impact of heavy orbital sniper rifles as high as 8-12 times the speed of sound, the "I"-shaped warhead flying out of the coil pulse rifle in the hands of ordinary guardsmen touched the body of beta with the blunt surface, and the irregular shape caused The tearing of the beta diffuses its powerful kinetic energy throughout the body, one round of ammunition is a hole, and a few consecutive rounds are enough to smash the main body of the beta into pieces.

This is space without an atmosphere, and it is the home field of directed energy weapons. The powerful firepower of electromagnetic weapons and particle beams makes the scene of the Jacinto battle seem childish, but so what?

Tens of thousands of blue bullets spewed out from a breathing pulse rifle, without the slightest restraint, the soldiers fired with full firepower just to slow down the endless sea of ​​insects in front of them—if we said just now A confident firepower strike in the battle, and now this line of defense consisting of more than 400 people has been pushed to the brink of collapse.

Boundless and endless, the tide of flesh and blood spread like a flood from the ground.The soldiers looked around, and there were only scenes that made the panic patients scream. The group led by the red high-speed chariot rushed to the front of the defense line 1 meters in one minute. The twisted monster is real.

The two rapid-fire cannons carried by the APC armored vehicle have not stopped from the very beginning. These twin 37mm guns send diamond warhead shells into the sea of ​​insects at a rate of fire of 350 rounds per minute, and with the mass of tank-level After crossing the cordon, the engine was started at the officer's "retreat" command, and the soldiers who were still firing through the firing port were carried back to the vehicle in an emergency.

"Automatic turret! Don't save me ammo now!"

Colonel Malashenko's order was superfluous, because the turrets were already fully operational toward scrapping—engineers had deployed more than a hundred superpressure particle beam turrets on the battlefield, and when they fired at the same time, the scene was no less than Looking directly at a solar flare, the scorching rays cut through countless tank-class bodies, firing so hard that the dissipating liquid nitrogen mist created an artificial fountain landscape.

How many did they knock down?This may be difficult to explain, but the firepower of the guards is still not enough to block the [-] betas estimated by the system.Many people have an irrational understanding of numbers. As the saying goes, if a person passes a thousand, the clouds cover the sky, and if a person passes ten thousand, there is no limit, and four hundred is against one hundred thousand. An intelligent species that has lost its combat effectiveness.

Even if two chariots would be sliced ​​apart by the particle beam every meter they advanced, they would still be willing to pay two thousand casualties to get close to the turret.Tank-classes overwhelm auto-turrets, their maws crunching casings, snapping cables to feast on, advanced weapons smashed and crumbled into ever-hungry maws...

The Jintai battery executed the last command of the system, and after the unstable current flow, a group of violent plasma flames erupted, and the chariot level was all vaporized in the place covered by the flames, and several small suns rose intermittently in front of the position. Enough to be seen on the surface of Thira.

But without the air, the explosion would not cause much damage. The current situation makes the guards need artillery more than ever, and they need powerful air force support, but this is impossible.

"Retreat to the second line of defense...Engineering team, are things ready?"

Colonel Malashenko put down the binoculars. At this time, his heart was under tremendous pressure, but there was not much he could do.The troops retreating from the first line did not have time to deploy, and the tank class followed closely behind to the second line of defense.

The second line of defense made more arrangements, and the armored vehicles marched into the defense area according to the strict route requirements, and the monsters that rushed up seemed to hit an invisible wall, and their heads were separated into several pieces in an instant. The more you smash, the more you smash.

There are many strange pillars standing on the wide flat ground, beta will not notice it, and the human eyes can't see the tight and fine nanowires between the pillars - Li De's experience in the first battle was absorbed by the army, and the layers of nanowires played a difficult role. Words have a good effect, and the wide battlefield is like a meat grinder that swallows a large number of betas. The faster you rush, the faster you die.

The soldiers cheered, right now they need everything that can inspire their fighting spirit, even though they know in their hearts that Beta's corpse will soon fall into the nano trap, but a moment of breathing is precious.Machine guns (rapid fire), barbed wire (nanowires), and the tactics of lunar warfare plummeted, falling straight to World War I. Unfortunately, there was no heavy artillery, but the rear positions seemed to be preparing for some big guys.

Adonis' heart was beating so hard that he no longer knew the expression on his face under the helmet.The people in the armored vehicle could see the turbulent waves outside just by turning their heads slightly. Shooting no longer paid attention to accuracy, and everyone felt that no matter how much they fired, it was just a drop in the bucket.
