Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Armored transport units have arrived on the outskirts of town."

As the French army approached, Serena, like the announcer, reported to everyone present:

"The infantry of the two regiments left the vehicle and prepared to cooperate with the armored units to start the attack, and the fire support units from the air also arrived over the town.

At 9:45 Atlantic time, the French Front officially engaged the alien forces. "

As he said that, Serena's pupils continued to emit blue light, and multiple real-time videos appeared in the sky above the 3D map.

The content of these videos is the infantry soldiers selected by Serena from the front line, and they are connected to the helmet individual cameras of the other party, so that everyone in the bridge can also see the local battle situation.

Just look at one of the army infantrymen with the rank of sergeant, leading the infantry platoon to which he belonged, followed a personnel carrier equipped with a large amount of reactive armor, and entered from the street of the town first.

At this time, the dust and mist caused by the falling of the 'meteorite' had long since dissipated, but the road and the buildings on both sides of the road were in dilapidated condition, and there were corpses of townspeople everywhere.

So far, the fact that alien forces have declared war on mankind has been thoroughly confirmed.

As the infantry platoon continued to penetrate, the sergeant, his infantrymen, and everyone on the bridge of Infinity also saw the true face of alien creatures for the first time.

Humanoid.

But their skin or appearance seems to be covered with a hard shell, and even judging from the reflection in the sun, it looks like a metal shell.

Their arms, limbs and backs also have sharp spikes that look like metal.

A face-to-face meeting between human beings and alien creatures led to a firefight.

"Free fire! Squads 3, 4, and 5 go up! Squads 1, 2, and 2 follow me to cover the armored vehicles!"

In the video taken by the individual soldier, the sergeant shouted orders in French.

As for why everyone in the bridge can 'understand' it, it is because Serena has already performed an automatic translation and presented the subtitles below the video.

"yes!"

Hearing the sergeant's order, a group of infantry soldiers recruited from France also roared in response.

And through the individual camera of the sergeant, you can see the army's equipment, which has been significantly upgraded compared with the equipment during Yuri's rebellion.

The armor installed on the mechanical skeleton has increased a lot, and the style of the helmet is also close to that of the marines, and the 'old-fashioned' M41A pulse rifles in his hands have all been replaced with M41C models.

M41C has a more stable trajectory, faster exit speed, and good stability.

Each platoon has two equipped with M62 smart machine guns, which greatly increases the firepower output of the infantry platoon.

"Tat-tat-tat!"

The unique gunshot of the pulse gun is transmitted to the bridge through the holographic screen.

"Boom-! Boom-!"

When the caseless explosive bomb hit those alien creatures, it exploded instantly, but the effect was somewhat unsatisfactory.

If the aliens and humans were hit by shells without shells, the end would be extremely bloody and cruel.

It is often a few shots to kill an alien, but a human being without protective gear will either die or be disabled after being shot.

But the caseless explosive bombs only blocked the progress of these alien creatures, and they would completely lose their combat capabilities unless they were hit by several people.

What made everyone's scalp tingle even more was that the speed of these alien creatures was extremely fast.

The army infantry in the individual camera, even with the auxiliary shooting function of the individual computer and the mechanical skeleton, still cannot effectively lock the opponent.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Fortunately, the chained 30mm Gauss cannon of the armored vehicle played a certain role in the continuous fire support of the infantry platoon.

However, after only a moment of relaxation, a large number of alien creatures rushed into the infantry's line.

"Puff! Puff!"

"what!"

"Forehead…"

The alien creatures that rushed between the infantry used their spikes to easily pierce the armor and body of the infantry.

And the spikes seem to be able to stretch and shorten at will according to their wishes, making them extremely effective melee 'creatures'.

What refreshed everyone's knowledge on the bridge was that the arms of the alien creature at the rear began to 'deform'.

Liquid metal like T-1000 or T-X, but not as smooth as liquid metal deformation, more like their clay-like changing arms configuration.

seconds later...

"Shh~! Shhh~!"

"Boom-! Boom-!"

On the side of the alien creatures, they also have long-range fire output.

Those alien creatures with deformed arms stood in the distance to provide long-range fire attack for the alien creatures in hand-to-hand combat, firing densely packed cannonballs emitting orange light.

When it hits the ground or an armored vehicle, it will also explode twice like a caseless explosive bomb.

When an ordinary infantryman is hit, his body will explode in an instant, and he will not even be able to utter a scream.

"Retreat! Withdraw... 嗞~——!"

Finding that the situation was almost at a disadvantage, the sergeant immediately gave an order to retreat.

But before the roar was over, an orange shell hit the camera lens of the individual soldier. The orange light became more and more dazzling and approaching, and finally lost the signal of the individual camera.

It seems that the French sergeant who ordered to retreat without receiving orders from his superiors should have died under the attack of alien creatures.

see.

William immediately said to Serena: "Tell the commander of the French front to order the troops to retreat immediately! This situation is beyond what the UNSC can handle."

"yes."

While William was speaking, Serena had contacted the French commander.

A few seconds later, the UNSC troops marked with a green light on the 3D map also began to retreat in an orderly manner.

However, the alien creatures marked by the red light actually launched a pursuit counterattack when the French front army began to retreat.

And the aliens are clearly capable of completely annexing the 30,000-strong UNSC army, but they seem to be deliberately 'catching up'.

Or keep a certain distance intentionally, and take this opportunity to quickly spread to forests, mountains, villages and towns in south-central France.

What made everyone on the bridge even more dignified was that the number of red light signs was increasing, indicating that this alien force possessed a certain ability to reproduce rapidly.

"Fack!" Seeing this situation, Myron couldn't help but cursed:

"These alien beasts have a good plan, and they won't let us go if they bite us, making it impossible for us to carry out large-scale bombing and orbital attacks.

Really Nima's slippery head! "

"."

After hearing Myron's analysis, William, John, Carl, and Serena all showed expressions of astonishment, but they soon returned to normal.

After all, they were used to Myron's usual silliness, but they were able to say a few useful words at critical moments.

"That's right." Serena also said in a deep voice:

"According to the operation mode of the alien side, we cannot carry out large-scale bombing, or drop tactical hydrogen bombs."
