From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 414

c403 “Fear” against the clones “Incoming” from the bottom of the tank

Ta-ta-ta-!

Ta. Ta-ta-!

More than 300 mobile infantrymen led by Leon and Ruige had a direct confrontation with several clone tactical teams on the main road leading to the city center.

The sound of the guns of Morita and AMWS resounded throughout the streets.

There are winners and losers between the two sides.

However, the mobile infantry often need to work with their surrounding comrades, spending half or even the entire magazine to barely kill a clone trooper.

Looking at the clones, even if their accuracy is deliberately lowered, the various warheads used by AMWS firearms, especially armor-piercing explosive shells, can easily penetrate federal standard armor and helmets.

What troubles Lyon the most is the .30cal smart machine gun.

The auxiliary aiming and intelligent tracking bullets of the individual soldier system will not be deliberately lowered or the data will be completely changed because of this operation. Otherwise, stability and safety cannot be guaranteed.

Fortunately, the clone controlling the .30cal smart machine gun did not use fire suppression as before. Instead, it fired lightly and rushed directly to the most conspicuous position on the street to withstand the concentrated fire attack of the mobile infantry.

If they start firing continuously and strafing when they come up, the clone soldiers only need four .30cal smart machine guns to wipe out more than 300 mobile infantry including Leon and Ruige.

Therefore, Lyon and others, who clearly had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, finally eliminated a total of more than 30 clone soldiers at the cost of more than 50 deaths.

At the same time, Leon also deeply realized how much pressure and fear the former enemies and organizations of the Human Empire and Atlas had to endure when facing clone soldiers.

Clone troopers are equivalent to “cheap versions” of re-engineered warriors.

After being cultivated with the Veronica virus and special nutrient solution, the strength, speed, and reaction of each clone soldier are far beyond those of ordinary humans.

Moreover, they cannot feel pain, let alone understand fear. Coupled with all-round protection, it is extremely difficult to kill each of them.

Just as the mobile infantrymen will directly doubt their lives when they see a clone soldier with their own eyes, after being attacked by more than ten or even dozens of warheads, and still moving forward.

That is to say, Maggie, who knew the clone soldiers, told part of the truth through discussion, and then used radio communication to remind the various combat platoons and combat companies of the mobile infantry that the enemies they faced were “clones” and not anything else. The “monster” barely stabilized the morale of the army.

To be honest, if we had not anticipated the clone troopers, we would never have pulled the trigger on these investigators, and they were locals in the “Starship Fleet” universe.

Leon and Maggie may also collapse directly.

On the main road at this moment;

“We… survived?”

“Jesus Christ, do they really not know pain?”

After seeing that there was no more movable clone trooper here, the mobile infantry were in disbelief.

A few brave infantrymen stepped forward and kicked the corpse a few times with their feet. After confirming that it was really dead, they excitedly said on the communication channel:

“Sir! These guys are really dead!”

“It’s so hard, oh my God.”

Leon walked forward and half-crouched next to the dead clone team leader.

Pretending to observe, he reached out and took off the bullpup rifle belonging to the AMWS series. He also took out a large number of magazines, grenades, and various props and props with instructions for use from the corpse’s armed belt and storage bag. potions and says:

“Our weapons and ammunition are consumed too quickly, so we can seize the enemy’s weapons and ammunition for our own use. Hurry!”

“yes!”

In fact, all the infantrymen present had this idea, but they did not act without permission due to orders.

Now with Lyon’s approval, the infantry naturally quickly collected all weapons and ammunition that could be recycled.

Some infantrymen even thought about peeling off the clone’s mechanical skeleton, but they didn’t know how to operate it, so they gave up slightly unwillingly.

After finishing, Leon and Ruige continued to lead more than 200 infantrymen to advance.

And after previous charges and battles, these more than 200 infantrymen, mainly composed of new recruits, had also undergone transformation unconsciously.

At least there will no longer be any surprises or “crying for father and mother” when encountering high-intensity confrontation.

There is still a big gap between them and the elite, but they are generally considered usable soldiers.

The most important change is that this group of mobile infantry is no longer “headless flies”, and is gradually led by Lyon’s orders.

Because they discovered that by following Leon they could not only survive, but also defeat the enemy.

In contrast, when the main force was hit by clone fire, Colonel Honald Thompson didn’t know what to do for a while.

It’s obvious that Leon Kennedy is more reliable as the sergeant.

There is a big difference in military rank between the two sides, but the “aura” between the two sides, especially in terms of calmness and calmness, is very different.

On the communication channel, due to the fierce firepower of the clones stationed on the high wall, they were constantly arguing and discussing whether to retreat. Only Sergeant Kennedy directly provided a solution.

The recruits are “stupid”, but they are not stupid.

Honald Thompson relied solely on his rank as colonel. If Sergeant Kennedy dared to “conquer his superiors” and remove him from the position of commander, the recruits would 100% agree with it, but there was no way they would participate.

Because after the battle, the soldiers involved in the removal will go directly to the military court.

The fact that he can serve as a colonel in peacetime and can also hold the position of commander-in-chief of the expeditionary infantry, which is easy to earn political achievements and military honors, shows that Honored Thompson’s background is far beyond what a sergeant can compete with.

Therefore, once sent to a military court, the result is equivalent to being directly sentenced to death by hanging.

In other words, from the moment Sergeant Kennedy made an “unauthorized claim” to apply for an air strike to the Thunderbolt attack aircraft formation and ignored the colonel in public, he could not survive in the federal army.

However, at this stage, everyone is focusing more on how to annihilate the clones in the town.

At the same time, dozens of fighting platoons, under the liaison of Ace and Tiz, began to form an advancing force, cooperating with Leon, Ruige and others to advance towards the center of the town to expand the area of ​​occupation.

Although the mobile infantry was still defeated when fighting against the clones whose “difficulty” was deliberately lowered, fortunately, the mobile infantry knew that their numbers had the upper hand and knew how to use their firepower advantage to suppress them.

After Lyon, Ruige, and the sergeants and corporals who were willing to cooperate with Lyon, jointly led their infantry to form a pushing force and created more scope for the main force to move, the colonel finally arrived under the guard of his trusted lieutenants. A frontline command center transformed from a shopping mall

At this time, in the lobby on the first floor of the mall;

“Sergeant Kennedy, the 104th, 107th and 121st combat platoons are on the southeast side of your street. They are expected to complete the rendezvous with you in 3 minutes.”

“Please ask the 221st, 227th and 230th combat platoons to go to your northwest main road. The guys there need support!”

“Guys on the north and south sides of the town, please pay attention to the enemy’s air defense fortifications deployed on the surface. Only by destroying them as soon as possible can the thunder and lightning formations provide us with better fire support.”

I saw that relatively complete facilities had been built in the hall, and Ace, Tiz, and more than a dozen other combat platoon communications soldiers were giving prompts and instructions based on real-time intelligence obtained from various ministries.

Maggie, who took off her helmet and tied up her long red hair, discussed with the few sergeants and corporals who stayed here through the overhead view displayed on the personal computer how to provide assistance to the advancing troops.

Moreover, because the expedition fleet had been captured by the Blood Angels gang, Maggie and others had to manually update the aerial view so that they could understand the current battle situation more intuitively.

and–

“Sir is here!”

And with a loud reminder from an infantryman, what was originally in order was forced to a standstill in an instant.

Everyone had to put down what they were doing, stood up, saluted, and looked towards the west side of the mall.

Colonel Honald Thompson, who had a carefully groomed beard and a black beret, walked into the mall and came to the lobby surrounded by several lieutenants and escorts.

“.”

Honard just raised his hand slightly, indicating that no one needed to be polite.

Then, Honard approached Maggie and several sergeants and corporals and asked:

“What’s the situation now? Where is Sergeant Kennedy?”

After hearing this, Maggie took the initiative to report:

“Reporting, sir! We have now taken control of the western part of the town and are continuing to expand our results!

As for Sergeant Kennedy, he personally led a mixed team of about 400 infantrymen and was at the forefront of the battle line. ”

“Yeah, good.”

Upon learning that Leon did not stay in the mall, Hornard frowned slightly, showing displeasure, and ordered in a tone that left no room for doubt:

“Inform all troops on the front line to hold their current positions for the time being, and the main force will be responsible for the rest of the battle.

In addition, Sergeant Kennedy was notified, as well as the non-commissioned officers who chose to follow Sergeant Kennedy’s actions for the first time, to return to the forward headquarters immediately. ”

After listening to Honard’s previous sentence, Maggie’s face remained cold, but when she finished listening to the second sentence, she also had a frown on her face.

And said: “Sir, recalling Sergeant Kennedy and all the non-commissioned officers at the forefront of the battle line now will extremely damage the momentum of our infantry.

It will also cause the existing command system to fall into chaos, so sir, please consider the life safety of all federal soldiers instead of releasing your personal emotions. ”

? !

When he saw a young recruit corporal and dared to confront him righteously, Honnard was shocked and annoyed.

! !

Everyone present was also extremely shocked.

Ace, Tiz, and the communications soldiers responsible for conveying news to various ministries actually agreed with Maggie’s words.

They finally built a communication network and became familiar with the locations of the combat platoons led by each noncommissioned officer. If they were forcibly replaced, they would not only spend energy to get to know them again, but also delay the opportunity to fight.

Maybe the advantageous situation will be completely eliminated because of Hornard’s desire to retaliate against Sergeant Kennedy’s order, causing more comrades and pals to die.

“Watch your tone, Corporal!” When a captain saw Maggie replying to Honnard, he immediately scolded:

“The person in front of you is the commander-in-chief of this military operation. You will not be allowed to question the colonel’s order. Stand down!”

But Maggie was unmoved and said bluntly: “According to Section 6 and Article 12 of the Federal Constitution, it is clearly stated that when a soldier commits a serious offense, the commander has the right to execute him on the spot. There is no need to arrest, charge and court-martial.

Similarly, when a commander makes a decision that is inconsistent with the battlefield situation and endangers our war situation, subordinate officials and soldiers have the right to stop or even remove the commander from his position.

Safeguarding the interests of humanity and the Federation is a duty that commanders and every Federation soldier must perform and uphold! ”

With that said, Maggie raised her right hand and pointed at Honnard, and raised her voice and asked:

“Then let me ask Colonel Thompson, when we lost contact with the fleet, the thunder and lightning formations were unable to provide fire support, and had to rely on motorized infantry to quickly occupy the town, what was your intention in ordering to recall the frontline non-commissioned officers before the battle?!

You know that once this order is conveyed to the ministries, it means that thousands of federal soldiers will die in vain because of your decision!

Even I, a corporal, understand this, why don’t you understand? In other words, you have already defected to the enemy’s camp, and all your decisions are made in order to create an advantage for the enemy?

If that’s the case, then I have to doubt whether you can still be qualified to be the commander-in-chief! ”

! ! !

After Maggie finished speaking, Honor Thompson’s face instantly turned pale.

Even when everyone present looked at the colonel who had taken shortcuts through family and interpersonal relationships and had not experienced many large-scale wars, their eyes and faces also showed suspicion and questioning.

Indeed, the colonel’s various instructions cost them dearly, so was the colonel indirectly creating an advantage for the enemy?

And Honard obviously didn’t expect that a young corporal would be so good at verbal arguments.

In just a few sentences, the charges of “spy”, “incompetence” and “treason” were pinned on his head.

If he continues to insist on the order to recall Lyon and those non-commissioned officers, it will be equivalent to directly admitting these crimes. After all, Honnard himself knows that his order will cause a large number of casualties to his own personnel.

Immediately, Hornard suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said:

“Okay, very good. The corporal is right. Give all ministries the order to maintain the original advance. At the same time, the main force will arrive one after another to provide support.”

“Yes, Colonel!”

Ace responded quickly, fearing that Honard would change his mind temporarily.

“Sir!”

Suddenly, Tiz’s expression changed, he turned around and loudly reported to everyone:

“The team responsible for investigating the crash site of the wreckage has received the latest intelligence, saying that what crashed was not enemy or own warships, but a group of unknown giant insects of huge size that have never been mentioned by intelligence agencies!

They have released countless Arach warrior bugs and tank bugs, which are currently rushing towards the capital town where we are located, and are expected to arrive at the outskirts of the town in thirty minutes! ”

“What? The bugs are here too?!”

“How to fight this?!”

“Colonel. Let’s run!”
