"Thirty seconds to prepare."
Taking a look at Lin Feng, Yang Yi pulled down the visor of his helmet.
Although as a soldier, Yang Yi and others do not need to use the "Warrior R" system, but for the sake of safety, everyone hides their true strength.
Quite simply, the action of the Simei Alliance to besiege the outpost is extremely abnormal.
It is undeniable that all the important strategic value of No. 828 is for the human federation and not much value for the Silicon Magic Alliance. If the purpose of the Silicon Magic Alliance is to occupy the 828 outpost, it will dispatch enough troops to eliminate the defenders of the outpost as quickly as possible, instead of fighting a protracted battle with the defenders. If the Silicon Charm Alliance is not trying to capture the 828 outpost, it should directly destroy the outpost.
This battle, which lasted for several days, was a problem in itself.
It was with this awareness that Yang Yi decided to go to the post to find out.
"Five seconds to prepare!"
When the airlock opened, Yang Yi jumped out first, followed by Lin Feng, and Jackson and others also jumped out of the "Shadow" in turn.
Although Yang Yi didn't say it clearly, Jackson knew that the Simei Alliance's fleet besieging the 828 outpost was probably a conspiracy. If you don’t figure out the situation, you can ask the theater command for help, and let the theater command send a fleet to come, it is very likely to be ambushed by the Silicon Magic Alliance.
In fact, this is why Yang Yi decided to hide his strength.
If the Silicon Magic Alliance is not calculating the fleet of the Human Federation, but someone, then Yang Yi and the others going to the outpost as soldiers are tantamount to throwing themselves into the net.
Driven by the jet thruster, Yang Yi and others quickly flew towards the post.
Although the "Warrior R" individual soldier system is designed for ground warfare, it can gain some additional capabilities by installing additional equipment. In fact, in addition to individual weapons, the "Warrior R" system is a multifunctional backpack. All the subsystems are integrated in the backpack, and additional devices are also installed on the backpack. For example, the individual jet thrusters are fixed on the backpack, allowing Yang Yi and the others to obtain limited flying capabilities.
Five thousand kilometers is not short, but not far away in space.
You know, the length of the S-class warship in the 828 post is ten kilometers.
The battle is still going on, with violent explosions happening from time to time, and flying debris around the outpost. Compared with these fragments, Yang Yi and others seem very small. Even if the enemy is near the surveillance post, it may not be possible to find eleven human fighters flying to the post at high speed.
At this time, at the back of the post, near the hangar.
Said it is a hangar, it is actually a semi-open area.
Although the space is huge enough to house thousands of space fighters, in peacetime, the military did not deploy space fighters in frontier surveillance and reconnaissance posts. It is not that space fighters are expensive, but in accordance with the armistice agreement signed at the time, offensive weapons and equipment are not allowed to be deployed in the demilitarized zone, and space fighters are included. In the huge hangar, there were only a few small patrol boats, which were to be precise patrol boats that had been bombed.
"Everyone hold on, the reinforcements are coming soon!" shouted, the major officer continued to raise his gun and fire outside.
In fact, the major officer himself didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive, or even if they would arrive. It was just a lie for insisting on fighting.
Under the violent fire from the enemy, the gate of the hangar, the two-meter-thick door panel made of special alloys, had already been blasted into fragments. Although the energy barrier has not disappeared, it has been shaky under the continuous shelling of the enemy and may disappear at any time.
This is the last line of defense for the outpost. If the enemy breaks through, none of the officers and soldiers in the outpost will be spared.
However, Major Zheng Xiaolong didn't know how long he could hold on.
After being attacked five days ago, Colonel Qin Qiuming, the commander of the 828 post, sent out a signal for help and told all officers and soldiers that the theater command will soon send a fleet over. All you have to do is to persevere and fight the enemy until the reinforcements. The moment that comes. Unfortunately, the next day, when the post was surrounded by the enemy, Colonel Qin Qiuming was killed while leading the Marines to launch a counterattack.
The brutal fighting lasted for five days and five nights, and Major Zheng Xiaolong officially became the highest commander of the post yesterday afternoon.
Before that, he was just a major officer in charge of logistics support. He had never thought that he could become the highest commander, let alone be so fast.
It is not that he is brave, nor is he powerful, nor is he volunteering, but that all the officers above him have been killed.
Zheng Xiaolong was able to live until now, mainly because he stayed in the rear, and was responsible for transporting ammunition for the officers and soldiers fighting on the front line.
Will reinforcements come
A huge landing ship approached, carrying thousands of enemies of the Silicon Charm Alliance, mainly humanoid rock demons.
Although this body is similar to humans, enemies with a height of less than three meters are the most numerous and weakest units in the Silicon Magic Alliance, but they are still very powerful in front of human fighters. Even with armor-piercing bullets, it is difficult to kill with a single shot. If it is close combat, human warriors are not even the opponents of humanoid rock demons.
Seeing the landing ship, Zheng Xiaolong was also helpless.
The main defensive weapon of the post has been destroyed by the enemy, and the electromagnetic guns and small-caliber cannons in the soldiers' hands cannot prevent the landing ship from approaching. Although the energy barrier can block various energy beams shot from enemy warships, it cannot stop the enemy landing at the post. In the battles of the past few days, most of the officers and soldiers who died in battle died in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, including several senior officers.
"Major!"
"Keep all of them to me. Retreat is death. If the enemy is allowed to invade the outpost, we will all die!" Zheng Xiaolong was scared, but did not show it, because at this time, all the officers and soldiers looked at him. "Hold the front, even if you die, you must face the enemy to death."
"boom-"
The ground shook violently, and the enemy landing ship slammed into the outpost.
Being disturbed by the energy barrier, Zheng Xiaolong could not see clearly the enemies rushing down from the landing ship, but there were definitely a lot of them.
On the battlefield, humanoid rock monsters have always won by numbers.
At this point, it is very similar to the Human Legion.
The difference is that humanoid rock demons are better at close combat. Although the Silicon Magic Alliance has also developed some projection weapons similar to electromagnetic guns, they have not been popularized. It is not that the Silicon Magic Alliance has no corresponding technology, but that silicon-based life has a natural advantage in individual combat.
"Don't fire, listen to my orders!"
Behind the gate, more than a hundred officers and men on the three lines of defense held their breath.
Zheng Xiaolong stared at the platform outside the energy barrier, his hand holding the electromagnetic gun trembling slightly. Although he was a logistics officer in charge of managing supplies five days ago, he is now not only the highest commander of the post, but also an experienced soldier.
Against the enemies of the Silicon Magic Alliance, the power of the electromagnetic gun is too small.
Because the energy barrier has a certain shielding ability, it is almost impossible to pose a threat to the enemy by firing at the enemy through the energy barrier, just wasting ammunition.
On the outside platform, the landed humanoid rock demons formed a square formation of ten hundred people.
However, it is not just the humanoid Rock Demon who landed.
"Major, what is that!?"
When the soldiers nearby shouted out loudly, Zheng Xiaolong had already seen several extremely burly figures appeared in front of the humanoid rock demon's phalanx.
That is…
Ironclad wars!
Zheng Xiaolong's eyes widened, and the hand holding the electromagnetic gun shook more severely.
That's right, it's an armored war.
Ruined!
Zheng Xiaolong's facial muscles twitched a few times, and he unconsciously looked into the deep space in the distance.
If only the humanoid rock demons landed, they could still persist. Put the enemy in and fire at close range. The armor-piercing projectile fired by the electromagnetic gun can penetrate the enemy's body. Even if it cannot be killed by a single shot, the intensive bullet rain can beat the enemy into a hornet's nest, and then go up and chop off the enemy's head. No matter how tenacious the vitality of silicon-based life is, it will die without a head. It's just that the electromagnetic gun can't deal with the iron armor madness at all.
This enemy, who is more than five meters tall, and can even reach ten meters, is a monster pieced together with rocks, and its defense strength is equivalent to that of a heavy tank. Not to mention the electromagnetic guns used by soldiers, even small-caliber machine guns, may not be able to penetrate the rocks covering the surface of the iron-clad mad fighting body.
With the iron armor fighting madly in the front, the humanoid rock demon can rush to the front and give full play to the melee advantage.
In the face of a thousand humanoid rock monsters approaching, not to mention more than a hundred officers and soldiers, even if all the officers and soldiers in the outpost are here, it is of no avail.
Can this battle be fought
Zheng Xiaolong was desperate, and other officers and soldiers were no exception.
They are not afraid of death, as long as they can pose a threat to the enemy, even if it is only a small threat, they will continue to fight.
The problem is that the weapons in their hands cannot pose the slightest threat to the enemy.
This is not a fight, but a slaughter!
In front of the rows of iron armors fighting wildly, any of their resistance is meaningless.
Does such a battle still make sense
It's just that they have no choice but to fight.
In the five thousand and five Greenwich wars, neither side of the war had a tradition of receiving prisoners of war, and there was no interstellar convention for the protection of prisoners of war.
For Zheng Xiaolong and others, surrendering means letting the enemy slaughter them, and they will die miserably.
Although no one has personally experienced it, the officers and soldiers know that the enemy will treat captured human soldiers as snacks, and it is good to swallow them in one bite. It is common to be torn into pieces. The reason is simple. Silicon-based life, like carbon-based life, requires trace elements. For silicon-based life, the carbon-based life of human beings is a vitamin tablet. Even if the taste is not good, it has high nutritional value.
The energy barrier shook a few times, and a huge figure emerged, and then more huge figures.
"Major..."
"Ready to fight!" Zheng Xiaolong stood up. Since there is no way to retreat, let's die gloriously. "Fire, fire me all!"
The nearby officers and soldiers stood up one after another. Everyone was desperate, but no one fled because there was nowhere to escape.
It's better to die in battle than to be devoured by the enemy!
