An Unscientific Mechanic

"The first attack echelon is preparing to withdraw supplies, the second attack team is advancing, and the third attack team is resting on the spot and building temporary fortifications."

"This is the Jinpu Marine Corps. The ground defense line has been established, and the retreat route has been secured."

"Understood, please complete the construction of the forward base as soon as possible, we need a lot of fire support here."

"The first wave of combat robots has been dispatched, please evaluate the results."

The Marine Corps commander of the Jinpu, a clone veteran who participated in several battles in the Star Wars world, waved his hand, and hundreds of three-meter-level spider battle robots crawled down the wall.

This small and medium-sized combat robot has been adapted to the battlefield based on the battle against the Flood in the past few days. For example, the weapon has been replaced by a medium-sized blaster cannon and four six-barrel blasters installed on both sides of the fuselage. Lin machine gun, two 40mm short-barreled automatic grenade launchers, two medium-range plasma flamethrowers and full armor high-voltage electrification device.

These types of armed forces are currently the best weapons for various troops when facing the battle with the Flood. The explosive Gatling has fast heat dissipation, sufficient ammunition, and fast firing rate, which can effectively and continuously suppress and eliminate the Flood. troops. The ZL-1-e 40mm automatic grenade launcher is a support weapon for individual soldiers used by the standard squads of the Ministry of Integration. It has many types of ammunition, moderate power and moderate rate of fire, and can effectively clean up the first armor unit.

Plasma flamethrower, the flamethrower with a maximum range of 200 meters, is a must-have weapon for incinerating the corpses of flood demons at home and on land.

The armor high-voltage power supply device can effectively prolong the battle armor's combat time on this kind of battlefield. The small Flood infected body will often break through the fire blockade and quietly touch the back of the battle armor to invade the armor's control system. , by the way parasitizing on the spinal nerves of the personnel inside the combat armor.

Of course, in order to prevent leaks and other problems, the ground combat group of the Consolidation Department adopts that as long as the armor is breached, the internal self-destruct system will be activated. The neurotoxin will instantly kill the combatants inside the armor, and the armor will also be destroyed by thermite. Meltdown, not a single bit of data will be left for Hong Mo.

but…

It really should have been a quick and unquestionable victory in anticipation...

But now it's a meat grinder...

"Let the troops withdraw, let the battle robot troops go up, relying on the three-meter-level spider robot, equipped with B2 battle robots, and slowly sweep over.

The active force of the battle group should be invested in key areas, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop in the form of a battering ram.

It is too wasteful to throw them into this kind of meat grinder battlefield. "The emperor arrived on the Enterprise 30 hours after the battle started for battle command.

But to avoid Hong Mo's kind of thing that doesn't talk to you about tactics, but just wants to hate you, Huang just thinks this thing is as annoying as the ELS back then...

As a tactical forecaster, I can hardly show my professionalism. It is not so much commanding the battle as it is the redistribution of firepower...

After all, Hong Mo's whole tactic on the frontal battlefield is a full-army assault.

You lure the enemy deep? I attack with the whole army.

Are you interspersed with detours? I attack with the whole army.

Do you gather around to fight for aid? I attack with the whole army.

...

But in local battlefields, even in battles behind enemy lines, the Flood showed a high degree of tactical creativity.

Take the Flood Demon Squad with no more than ten infected bodies as a unit, cover alternately, encircle the spot to fight for reinforcements, show the enemy weak and lure the enemy to go deep...

They will even concentrate their forces to fight mobile warfare and ambush warfare with the Consolidation Department. By pretending to be dead, hiding in the bodies of different Flood Demons, they suddenly explode at close range to parasitize or control combat robots.

For this reason, tens of thousands of battle robots had to explode after being parasitized.

But... The Flood's large army battle mode is really too much like the AI ​​of a real-time strategy game...

Huang pointed in this direction both from the analysis of the tactical department and his own feelings when commanding.

The large group of Flood Demons sometimes just stood still in the battle zone, not even glancing at the combat robots of the Consolidation Department passing by. It looks like a real-time strategy game unit with the S key pressed by the player behind it.

So the large group of Floods are actually Graveminds operating with a mouse and keyboard?

"The bombing mission of the Third Strategic Bomber Brigade is complete and returning."

"The Thirteenth Strategic Bomber Group is performing incineration operations in the C91 area."

"The first and second strategic bomber fleets have begun to carry out aviation strike missions."

Strategic bomber... A large aerospace amphibious ship urgently developed or transformed by the Technology Development Department. machine" heavy electromagnetic gun...

The only function of this heavy-duty electromagnetic gun with a short acceleration orbit is to throw bombs under two tons out of the ship to achieve the bombing effect.

"Just a little bit of bombing is not the answer..." Huang looked helplessly at the bombing missions that only completed less than 1% of the bombing missions.

"No way, our usual orbital bombing method can't be used at all. If we follow the conventional orbital bombing, using strategic-level fusion warheads and heavy-duty turbolaser bombardment, it will only take a day or two to plow this planet the size of Mars. .

But this Dyson sphere is not strong enough for us to use powerful weapons." Ian spread his hands.

"However, the CPV-class destroyer on the Covenant side is very happy to burn glass... It is much more efficient than our side." On the screen, the energy projector under the prow of the Covenant destroyer fired to the ground once, It can burn and vitrify hundreds of square kilometers of ground.

"That energy projector is quite interesting. That ship seems to be a professional planetary bombing warship?"

"No, most of the ships of the Star Alliance are equipped with similar equipment on the bottom of the ship. Maybe they are more concerned about orbital bombing?" Linda checked the hull information of the Star Alliance collected so far.

"Who knows."

"Commander, a large number of advanced combat floods have appeared at the thirty-seventh vent on the surface, and the army's firepower cannot suppress them."

"Which ship is the closest to there?" Huang looked at the holographic commander.

"It's the seventh ship."

"Is that a standard first-class C-type electromagnetic gun battleship..." Huang checked the configuration of the ship on the holographic commander. "I don't have very suitable equipment... Order the No. 7 ship to go directly above the 37th vent on the surface, and let him shoot vertically with the side particle cannon to suppress the vent. I don't want the swarm to break through to the surface.

Let the Phoenix Group's second company gather at the thirty-seventh vent, and push back. "

"This is Ship No. 7. It has arrived at the target coordinates. The bombardment has started." Three bright golden beams of GN particles descended from the sky and shot into the No. 37 vent.

I haven't caught the seriousness of the eight classics for three days, and my thoughts are a bit broken...Let me find my feeling...
