Chapter 22: Weapon Matching

Auxiliary soldiers are the other leg of the mecha division, just like armored soldiers will cooperate with infantry in infantry-tank operations.

The mecha division also has its own supporting troops.

The fifth group has four auxiliary soldier squads, each squad has ten elite infantrymen, and also has a mechanic team, all of whom will follow the mecha into battle.

Among them, the mechanic team will generally stay outside the battlefield, near the command center, or in some relatively safe strongholds.

However, the auxiliary soldier team has to follow the mecha into battle.

They need to drive tracked vehicles, follow the mecha, transport ammunition for the mecha, and sometimes they also need to get close to help the mecha share firepower and assist in shooting.

They are much more dangerous than mecha masters.

But they are safer than ordinary infantry and armored troops.

Although the fifth group of mechanized divisions did not receive any manpower support, the auxiliary soldiers were replenished very quickly.

Although two groups had been completely wiped out in the previous battles and soldiers from the other two had died, they have now been replenished.

Feng Dai brought Li Xin to the mecha, slid a light notebook and said:

"This time we're heading to the Behemoth Steel Works. This battle won't be over in a short time. Do you have any ideas about the weapons the mecha should carry?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I haven't officially used a mecha to join the battle yet, so I'm completely clueless. Brother Feng, please help me with the matching."

"My only requirement is a power halberd for a melee weapon."

The power halberd is also one of the melee weapon options for the dagger servant. This weapon is about ten meters long, and the halberd blade is almost two meters long.

The material of the halberd blade is very precious. It is usually made of rare materials such as refined gold. These materials are not only hard, but also can withstand the huge energy generated by the decomposition force field.

The disintegration force field on the halberd's blade is the best weapon to deal with enemy mechas or other vehicles with void shields.

After the decomposition field is activated, a circle of light blue electric light will surround the halberd blade. The decomposition field can decompose matter at the molecular level.

Even the armor alloy of the mecha will shatter under the attack of the decomposition force field.

The reason why Li Xin chose this weapon is very simple. Whether it is a power hammer or a power sword, it requires very high combat skills.

The halberd is the only weapon that Li Xin can use relatively well, because during his career as a military trainee, he had only received training in stabbing with a short knife and rifle.

The halberd can maximize Li Xin's melee ability, although it is also very weak.

Feng Dai nodded and continued, "Okay, then I'll match it for you according to my ideas!"

"First, the six-wheeled cannon. This is definitely necessary. I'll give you a 20mm electromagnetic cannon."

"As for the main weapon, considering the complex terrain of the Behemoth Steel Plant and the fact that we'll be fighting for a long time, we've equipped it with an 85mm plasma cannon!"

"As for shoulder weapons, since the battle in Behemoth shouldn't involve air defense, anti-aircraft missiles are not needed."

"Plus, your experience level is low... How about this? I'll give you two Sawtooth Ant-type 12-barrel rocket pods!"

"This is a 105mm caliber rocket. It's quite powerful, whether it's against armored units or infantry, it has good lethality. Sometimes you don't even need to aim, you can just fire it!"

"As for melee weapons, I'll take your advice. Let's go with the power halberd. Although it might be somewhat limited in the factory area, considering your experience and feel for it, let's go with this one!"

"How about this outfit?"

After finishing the matching, Feng Dai looked at Li Xin.

After listening to Feng Dai's matching and analysis, Li Xin was quite satisfied with this set of weapons. He had used all these weapons before, although in the shooting range, but at least he had operated them and had a clear understanding of the power of these weapons.

"No problem, just follow Brother Feng's configuration!"

"Okay, get moving! Arrange the mechas according to the one given to Li Xin!" Feng Dai instructed the team of mechanics who had been waiting for a long time.

"As for the mechas of the leader and I, we don't need to change the configuration for the time being. We just need to restock the ammunition and other supplies!"

"Yes!" The leader of the maintenance team saluted and immediately started working with his men.

Feng Dai had nothing to do, so he got on his mecha and began to check its status.

Li Xin thought about it and recovered from the state of being blackmailed.

He had been mentally prepared for this. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable when he really faced it, he recovered after matching his weapons.

He also entered the cockpit of the mecha and watched the weapons being placed on the mecha one by one by the mechanics.

Feeling the mecha becoming increasingly powerful, it made him excited.

Feng Dai, who had entered the cockpit of the mecha, suddenly remembered something. He opened his cockpit and shouted to Li Xin, "How about adding an extra set of armor to your mecha?"

"External armor will reduce your flexibility, but it will significantly increase your defense."

Li Xin thought about it in his mind.

The external armor will obviously make Li Xin's mecha move slower, but the increased defense is also very attractive.

Li Xin's control over the mecha is just at the beginner level. Even if he is given the opportunity to perform quite flexible operations, he cannot do it.

Thinking about it this way, it is better to sacrifice flexibility in exchange for higher defense. At least when you can't avoid the attack, you can withstand a few more hits.

So he also responded: "Then add a set of external armor!"

Therefore, an additional set of external armor was added to the movable parts of Li Xin's mecha.

It looks like Li Xin's mecha is going to be turned towards firepower.

But this is what Li Xin thinks is good. Since the combat flexibility and technology are not good enough, then he can use firepower coverage to deal with the enemy.

First cover them with firepower, eliminate half of them, and then slowly deal with the rest.

Then there will be no existence that can threaten Li Xin's mecha. If all the enemies are bombed to death, then no enemy will be able to get close.

Soon, as weapons were placed on the mecha one by one, the last set of composite armor was also installed on Li Xin's armor.

From the outside, this mecha is at least a little more bulky than Jiang Lou's mecha, but it's not just Li Xin's mecha that is like this.

The same is true for Feng Dai's mecha. As expected, he is also a mecha master who trusts firepower.

When Jiang Lou came back from outside, he looked at the two mechas that had almost grown a circle larger, and his own mecha that looked a little smaller.

He frowned, but didn't say much.
