Drones are the future.
Whether in the civilian field or the military field.
In front of a bay on the island of New Guinea, raging waves slapped against the side of the ship. He pressed his body tightly against the edge of the landing craft. Zhang Feng thought this while playing with the little guy in his arms.
"Don't mess up." The comrade sitting next to him joked with a grin without any nervousness.
"It's not that easy to mess up -" Zhang Feng was about to say a few words when a wave hit the landing craft. He was so frightened that he pressed the Hummingbird drone to his chest.
"Ahem - it's so salty!" The man sitting opposite him sighed and wiped his mouth hard with his hand.
"Cheer up! This is an exercise, but for us this is war! Keep an eye on your target, pull your trigger, and rush towards the target with all your might! Do you hear me!"
"yes!"
Together with his comrades on the boat, Zhang Feng roared at the top of his lungs, and then stuffed his Hummingbird drone into the groove on his chest. Theoretically, this thing is waterproof, but if the engine gets water, the failure rate will be very high.
This exercise was related to the bonuses for the next month and the month after that, and he didn't want to lose the chain at the critical moment.
In the air, two Aurora-20s roared past, and black smoke exploded on the beach without warning!
Zhang Feng skillfully opened the holographic screen on his arm, looked at the long string of dense red dots sweeping across the map, and then watched the dense string of red dots extinguished instantly under the cover of two cluster aerial bombs. Most of it.
An orange beam of light passed over the landing craft, directly erasing the traces of a concrete bunker on the beach. The landing craft finally approached the shore. Zhang Feng raised his heart to his throat and crossed his arms across his chest.
The captain who was lying on the front of the landing craft had already raised his voice and pressed his rifle against the side of the landing craft.
"Two hundred meters!"
"One hundred meters!"
"Fifty meters! Turn on the safety! Release the drone!"
The soldiers on the landing craft all slapped their arms on their chests. A dozen Hummingbird drones popped out from the grooves on their chests, their muzzles pointed precariously at the beach, and spread out uniformly to all sides of the landing craft!
Viewed from the air, the white streaks were like sharp knives, piercing the imaginary enemy's defense line.
The signal light changed from red to green, and the captain's roar immediately came from the bow of the landing craft!
"Action! Quick! Quick! Quick!"
As soon as the landing craft broke through to the shoal, Zhang Feng tore off the nylon buckle tied to his body and rolled into the sea from the side.
The tactical helmet marked all the heat source information of the enemy units on the screen. The drone took the lead in attacking the hinterland of the beach, and then the Marine Corps soldiers began to charge towards the collapsed defense line. At the same time, dense marking bombs formed an orange-yellow bullet net, strafing from the imaginary enemy's position across the heavy smoke!
With his feet touching the beach, Zhang Feng took a deep breath, adjusted the output power of the exoskeleton to the maximum, lowered his body and started charging.
They had rehearsed this scene countless times in the virtual reality training system.
The mechanical exoskeleton is set to be able to withstand ten beacon bullets, and if ten hits are considered out. Casualty status, breakthrough time, number of kills, these items will be converted into points for assessing the strength of the team according to a certain formula.
The chairman of Star Ring Trading said at the mobilization meeting before the exercise that in addition to special medals, bonuses of more than 100,000 US dollars will be awarded to the top three teams in each branch of the military!
Thinking of this, Zhang Feng licked the corners of his mouth, and locked the flat rifle on the red dot behind the smoke.
In this exercise, their C team must take first place!
…
At this moment, they are far away in the command post on Crescent Island.
Starring Trading executives headed by Jiang Chen, Ivan and others gathered in front of a holographic sand table, overlooking the three-dimensional situation of the entire battlefield.
The small infantrymen and armored vehicles that mark the green dots are the marines of the Halo trade. In the first minute of landing on the beach, the drone swarm had already broken through the local front lines and "switched off" local machine gun fire points. At the same time, the infantry, which moved as fast as armored vehicles, captured the first line of defense in an instant with the help of mechanical exoskeletons.
"From putting down the landing craft to breaking through the defense line, the landing time is five minutes! The Starlink Marine Corps' landing combat drill was a complete success!" Ivan turned around and stood at attention to report to Jiang Chenhui.
Judging from the expression on Ivan's face, he was obviously proud that the soldiers he had led personally had achieved such impressive results.
Jiang Chen looked at the picture on the holographic image and nodded with approval.
Four minutes and 49 seconds, to be exact.
Looking around the world, the performance of the Halo Marines is absolutely top-notch.
At this time, the messenger came in.
"The Prime Minister of Malay sent a text message to congratulate us on the success of the exercise. At the same time, the Prime Minister of Malay asked us what the Hummingbird drone was and how much it would cost if sold."
Laughter rang out in the command post.
The Hummingbird drone is one of the most powerful weapons of the Star Ring Trade Army, and it will not be sold to anyone else. Even to its own vassal Moro Kingdom, the Future Military Industry has never sold even half a Hummingbird.
"Reply to the Malaysian Prime Minister and thank them for their congratulations. In addition, tell him that the Hummingbird drone is not for sale. In the future, after it is produced by the military industry, it will be directly installed in the army and will not be put on the shelves." Jiang Chen said in a teasing tone.
"Yes!" The messenger saluted and exited the command post.
Translating the chairman's words into English and diplomatic language, Starlink Trading responded with congratulations from the Malay side.
After the landing operations are over, the next exercise is urban street fighting and mountain and jungle warfare.
Although this exercise is nominally an anti-terrorism exercise, the content of the exercise includes landing operations, tank attacks, infantry anti-armor drills and other exercises. The equipment invested far exceeds the level of anti-terrorism in terms of scale and quantity.
At first, the Malay side rejected the joint military exercises proposed by Star Ring Trading. Although we have a good relationship, you can't talk about military exercises, let's do military exercises. This must also take care of the relationship between neighboring countries and the stability of the regional situation!
But soon Jiang Chen used the green Franklin to persuade the Malay Prime Minister and Parliament to launch this joint military exercise.
No matter how much you say, it can't compare to the visible benefits.
Compared with the last Civil War in Mindanao, this exercise of Star Ring Trade far exceeded its performance in every aspect.
Fighter planes and naval guns provided fire cover, infantry cooperated with drone groups to seize the beach, and armored units subsequently landed. The entire set of actions was as smooth as a flow, showing the dual strength of the Halo Marines' breakthrough and annihilation.
And who exactly the target of this military exercise is is self-evident from the simulated terrain! (.)
