From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 413

c402 Fighting “monsters”?

Lyon led the way and rushed to the front.

Ace, Maggie, Frost, Rico and others followed closely behind.

And the entire 226th Combat Platoon followed Lyon and rushed towards the town filled with smoke.

The surrounding combat platoons, especially the lieutenants and second lieutenants who were killed by the clone snipers at a long distance, also launched a charge.

From the air, at least 1/4 of the mobile infantry began to attack.

The remaining 3/4 chose to watch from a distance due to the orders of the lieutenant and Colonel Honard Thompson, and fear of the firepower of the clone soldiers.

Soon.

Lyon and the 226th Combat Platoon, which he temporarily took over the command, crossed the sand between the two sides without any danger and successfully arrived at the west of the town, which was already full of gullies and craters.

The clone soldiers stationed here suffered heavy casualties due to the risky bombing of the Thunder attack aircraft, so they were temporarily unable to organize effective fire suppression.

This gave the mobile infantry the confidence that they could win.

Then.

Lyon and others crossed the ruined western high wall, rushed into the town, and began to set up defensive positions to cover the subsequent friendly units and gain a firm foothold here.

Seeing that the mobile infantry that charged first successfully broke into the town with almost no casualties, the remaining 3/4 of the main force was “ready to move”.

Colonel Honard Thompson had to give orders on the communication channel to let all mobile infantry go to the town and annihilate the enemy.

Unfortunately,

there were already more than 2,000 clone soldiers who bypassed the west of the town from the south and north sides. It seemed that they were going to surround Lyon and others who were ahead, but in fact, they concentrated their firepower to stop the main force of mobile infantry led by Honard Thompson.

Ta-ta-ta–!

Ri~Boom–! !

In an instant, more intense gunfire sounded again throughout the desert.

In addition, the clone soldiers also dispatched two Hunter-Killer auxiliary tanks with magnetic levitation chassis, which were like “land destroyers”.

The power of its twin-barreled 120mm Gauss guns was comparable to that of the ship-borne Gauss secondary guns, and it was extremely lethal to armored units.

However, there was no armored unit on the mobile infantry side, only infantry.

Therefore, the mobile infantry attacked by the Gauss guns would be “shattered” instantly, and even the broken limbs and arms could not be put together.

Of course, the clones responsible for driving the Hunter-Killer main battle tanks would accurately scan, lock, and kill the lieutenants and non-commissioned officers who gave orders based on the communication network temporarily built by the mobile infantry.

In this way, the already chaotic command system of the mobile infantry became even more chaotic.

As for Honnold Thompson, who was protected by layers and was at the core of the main force, he was deliberately let go by the clones.

They did not know how to set up a game and calculate.

However, the Investigation Department, which had completed the monitoring of the mobile infantry communications, believed that Honald Thompson would help improve the prestige of Leon, Maggie and others, so they gave the clone soldiers the order “not to kill the enemy’s highest commander”.

Moreover, according to the instructions of the Investigation Department, they deliberately let go of the 1/4 mobile infantry who followed Leon and others to rush into the town first.

Because those recruits are most likely to completely follow the orders of Leon Kennedy in the subsequent street fighting, and even in the subsequent “cooperative battle between the two sides”.

On the other hand, the main force of the mobile infantry who chose to obey the command of Honald Thompson and was hesitant became the main target of the clones.

However, they would not really kill them.

So in addition to accurately killing those lieutenants, non-commissioned officers and a few colonels, the marksmanship of the clone soldiers can be said to be “hard to describe”.

If some recruits are still unfortunately killed, it can only be said that the luck of those recruits is really bad.

! !

“Oh my god! The second lieutenant is dead!”

“Medic! Medic!”

“Don’t bother the medic. The second lieutenant is everywhere. Are we going to let the medic put him back together?!”

“Should we continue to charge? Or should we retreat?”

The main force of the mobile infantry, which was attacked by two thousand clone soldiers and two Hunter-Killer main battle tanks, had no idea of ​​the various arrangements of the Investigation Department. They finally regained their morale, but were directly defeated again.

Although they were also raising their guns to fight back, and even the missile group was ready to use conventional missiles to deal with the Hunter-Killer main battle tanks like “land destroyers”, the members of the missile group were once again hit by precise snipers.

This made no one dare to touch the individual missile launcher tube.

Even if the members of the mobile infantry had no combat experience, they knew that the clone snipers were specifically staring at those guys who raised the missile launcher tubes.

As a result, the non-commissioned officers and lieutenants also became the focus of the opponent’s attack.

However, ordinary infantry, communication personnel and engineers did not suffer much loss.

However, everyone gradually discovered that the clone soldiers were still dispersing to the sides and gathering behind them, as if they were trying to surround them.

“Everyone keep charging forward!”

At this time, Honard Thompson loudly ordered on the communication:

“We are exposed in the open and can do nothing to the enemy. We must rush into the town and rely on the buildings as cover to gain a chance of victory! Charge!!”

After confirming that their commander-in-chief was still alive and that the orders had not changed, the mobile infantry no longer hesitated or hesitated. They crossed the ruined western wall and fully occupied the western streets and blocks of the town.

The 226th combat platoon, which was the first to rush here, has already occupied a two-story large shopping mall with several other combat platoons that also lost their lieutenants.

They not only use this place as a defensive position to cover the following friendly forces, but also prepare to serve as a frontline headquarters.

——

The first floor lobby of the shopping mall;

“Sergeant, there are very few supplies here. It seems that they have been looted by those guys a long time ago.”

Ace came over with two bottles of mineral water and handed one to Leon as he spoke.

Leon took the mineral water, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank nearly half of the bottle before re-tightening it.

Immediately afterwards, Leon pretended to frown and guessed:

“Maybe the people on the other side don’t want to leave much behind for us, but the fact that they haven’t even seen any civilians shows that they have already anticipated the Federation’s actions.”

“Maybe before we entered the New Hope Galaxy, the other party already knew the various deployments of the expedition fleet.”

Tiz Floz, who was also carrying the radio on his back, echoed.

“There were no supplies, no civilians were seen, and there were no farmlands or livestock farms after improving the sandy land.”

After hearing Tiz’s words and what they had experienced since landing, Johnny Rego made an analysis, turned to look at Leon and said in a deep voice:

“Sergeant, have we fallen into an enemy trap?”

Tah. Phew——!

Boom. Boom!

While everyone was talking, the noise caused by the warhead hitting the wall, whizzing past from above, and explosions never stopped.

I saw several combat platoon infantrymen using all the heavy objects they could carry to block the doors and windows on the east side and use them as bunkers to engage in fierce firefights with the clone troopers outside.

Here, the infantrymen could finally clearly see the weapons and equipment of the clone soldiers.

Almost all of them were wearing windbreaker-style combat uniforms that covered their whole bodies, and the eye monitors on their helmets also emitted a penetrating red light.

Moreover, the clones are equipped with mechanical skeletons that can only be used by the elite for the Federation, and thick armor is attached to the mechanical skeletons, covering important parts of the body.

Just by looking at their appearance, the infantrymen knew that the clones’ weapons and equipment were much stronger than those of the Federation.

What was even more frightening was that the precision shooters and snipers of the mobile infantry confirmed through their scopes that their bullets successfully hit the clone’s neck, side, and other parts with weak armor.

Those clones that had been severely injured did not fall to the ground and struggle, nor did they shout. Instead, they continued to fight in a flash.

Until important parts are continuously injured, the clone will completely fall to the ground and die.

This made the precision shooters and snipers who witnessed the whole process couldn’t help but doubt life.

Is that an action that humans can do?

The Morita precision rifles and sniper rifles they used cannot be said to be able to kill people with one shot, but the consequences of being hit by one shot are either death or disability.

However, after being shot, the clones were still able to endure the pain and continue fighting. This really confused them, so they reported this phenomenon immediately.

After learning about this, Lyon and others rushed to the east side and looked out through the windows and cracks in the wall.

Leon and Maggie know the characteristics of clones, but as “locals” born and raised in “Star Fleet”, Rigo, Tiz and others are deeply afraid.

The ace even said with an exaggerated expression: “You can still fight after being shot several times?! Although these are enemies, I really respect their will! If it weren’t for war, maybe I would buy them two drinks!”

“Are you sure they are still human? You screamed when the instructor stabbed your hand. What about them?” Rui Ge asked.

“Uh” Ace didn’t know how to answer.

“Sergeant!! Look at this guy!”

“Oh my God, what the hell are we fighting?!”

Suddenly, several mobile infantrymen responsible for searching the underground warehouse of the mall came here shouting and dragging the body of a clone soldier.

Hearing this, Leon and others turned around.

I saw that the clone soldier’s corpse was “riddled with holes.” Almost no part of the windbreaker-style combat uniform and the armor attached to the mechanical skeleton was intact.

Bones were visible deep in the wound, and even the organs were clearly exposed to the air.

The badly damaged helmets were also removed by these infantrymen, revealing the true appearance of the clone soldiers.

It was a pale, wrinkled, horrifying face covered in scars.

The clone trooper still had his eyes open expressionlessly, and his pupils were blood red.

It seems that this clone soldier may have been injured by bombing fragments, which caused serious injuries to the body and affected the combat ability, and then had to find a hidden place to treat itself.

However, with the injury like this, even if it was discovered by the technicians of the Biology Department in time, there would be nothing he could do to save it.

“I’ll go! Sergeant, are we fighting a bunch of monsters?!” Ace said in disbelief.

“There’s not just this one down there, there are six guys who look exactly the same.” An infantryman added.

“Exactly the same.” At this time, Maggie, who had not spoken a few words during the whole process, said:

“Sergeant, they may be clones, and judging from their performance, the so-called human empire should have blocked their pain nerves.”

“Clone”

“Um”

After hearing Maggie’s explanation, everyone present nodded in agreement.

Indeed, cloning is not an unfamiliar word to the Federation in “Starship Fleet”.

In fact, the federal biotechnology is not bad.

As long as the person is not dead and his brain, heart and important organs are still intact, there is a chance that he can be saved.

Johnny Rigo in the movie timeline became one of the first cannon fodder to land on the Zerg home planet of Clandaff due to the ignorance of the Federation’s top brass.

His right leg was directly penetrated by the warrior bug, and he lost too much blood and fell into a coma.

However, after being rescued by the lieutenant of the Hard Bones Combat Platoon, the medical staff on the ship sent Johnny Rigo into a medical bay filled with nutrient solution to restore his body to its original state.

Therefore, everyone is still able to accept the fact that the human empire allows clone soldiers to participate in the war. It is always more realistic than “monsters”.

“Okay, don’t stand still. Regardless of whether they are clones or not, they can always be killed.”

Leon took over the conversation, looked at Ace and Flos, and ordered:

“Ask the combat platoon that is the first to rush into the town to help us build a communication base station here and turn it into a frontline command center.”

“Yes, Sergeant.”

After receiving the order, the two people left quickly.

Then, Leon looked at the infantrymen responsible for inspecting the underground warehouse and said:

“You go collect the enemy’s corpses and collect their weapons and ammunition along the way. We need to recycle and make good use of everything of value. We may face a protracted war next.

By the way, relay this order to several other combat platoons and ask them to free up some manpower to assist you. ”

“yes”

“Brother Rui, Xiao.” Seeing the infantrymen leaving, Leon checked his commander’s rifle, and finally said to Brother Rui and Maggie:

“The 1st team in charge of Rui Ge will continue to charge with me and the 3rd team to expand the scope of the occupied area.

Xiao, the 2nd team you are responsible for will stay here with the 4th team.

Also, if that Colonel Honald Thompson comes here and issues the same order as me, then let him go.

If not, just choose to ignore it, do you understand? ”

“Understood, sir.” Maggie nodded in response.

Rui Ge led his team members to follow Leon out of the mall and continued to advance to the east, then he turned off the communication and came closer and said:

“Sergeant, by doing this, aren’t you making it clear that you want to confront the colonel? We will meet when you get back.”

“Martial court?” Leon smiled helplessly, interrupted Rui Ge’s persuasion:

“If we continue to be commanded by someone who knows nothing, it will be a question of whether we can go back alive. Let’s solve the current predicament first.”

“All right.”

Rui Ge stopped reminding him and immediately ordered his team members to guard the streets.

Moreover, their advancing team, which consisted of less than twenty people, had several combat platoons coming to support them thanks to Ace and Flos’ communication.

In the end, a pushing team of more than 300 people was formed and began to expand the area they had occupied. At the same time, they also engaged in battles with several tactical teams of clone troopers.
