Actual practice is indeed the best way to master new things.
At this moment, Li Xin felt that his control over the mecha had taken another step forward.
The Dagger Servant shuttled back and forth in the ruins. The entire C33 combat area was not particularly large, and the three mechas swept across it with ease.
After clearing out the ground defense positions one by one, Li Xin even saw the elite infantry of Heng'an Defense who had entered the area last night, as well as the defensive strongholds they occupied.
Because of the friend-or-foe identification function, these infantrymen were lucky enough to avoid Li Xin's machine guns and plasma cannons.
And those unlucky Milda servants and soldiers who were discovered by Li Xin were in big trouble.
In the rear, when the mecha troops were clearing the front battle zone, Heng'an Defense's tank company and armored infantry company also successfully passed through the smoke and headed straight for the Beshimo Steel Plant.
The mecha, which had already gone quite deep, also returned at this time and returned to the side of the tanks and armored vehicles.
Although the mecha is very powerful, it is not strong enough. If it continues to go deeper without any other support, it will be surrounded if it is not careful.
Even ordinary infantry can cause damage to mechas after using more heavy firepower.
Apart from anything else, if more than a dozen anti-tank electromagnetic guns or several heavy artillery were assembled to focus their fire on the mecha's void shield.
A sudden concentrated fire attack can also overload the mecha's void shield. Even a mecha cannot withstand the attack of several armor-piercing bullets relying solely on the protection of armor.
After arriving at the outer defense line of the Behemoth Steel Plant, the elite armored infantrymen on the Rat Infantry Fighting Vehicles quickly got off. They maintained their combat formation and deployed quickly.
In the four cleared areas around here, start building your own defensive strongholds and crossfires.
The battle has just begun. The Behemoth Steel Plant on the surface alone has been divided into hundreds of combat areas.
We have only taken down four so far. If we want to completely take over this steel plant, there is still a tough battle to fight.
And this is just the surface combat area. The underground environment of the Behemoth Steel Plant is even more complicated. If you want to take over the underground, you will have to pay a lot of casualties.
Among the subsequent troops, two infantry battalions also began to enter the war zone. Their vehicles were much inferior to those of the first round of armored infantry.
The vehicles of these motorized infantry battalions are just ordinary jeeps or large trucks.
Their weapons were also inferior, but fortunately, under the cover of smoke, they did not encounter any counterattacks and successfully arrived at the Behemoth Steel Plant.
Jiang Lou's voice rang out from within the mecha cockpit: "03, how do you feel?"
"01, I feel good!" Li Xin's voice was steady, and he no longer felt the nervousness he had at the beginning.
"Keep it up! The battle has just begun!"
"yes!"
…
In the underground headquarters of Milda's retainers.
The commander here had a calm expression, as if the captured position and the soldiers who died in the battle were not his.
"I didn't expect that they would directly send out mechas!" The chief of staff of the motorized infantry brigade said gritting his teeth.
This time, four combat areas were captured, and at least dozens of soldiers were killed in the battle, either forced to fight back or unable to escape.
These soldiers were originally waiting for the tanks and armored vehicles to lead the way so that they could deal a heavy blow to them, but they didn't expect that they would be dealt a heavy blow by the enemy instead.
"The battle has barely begun, and they've already sent out their mechas. Let's get the front lines ready. We'll slowly play with their mechas. I want to see how much psychic energy they have available!"
Brigade Commander Roy calmly issued new combat orders.
The order was issued lightly, but it was not an easy task for the soldiers who were responsible for carrying out the task.
Every word Roy said might cost several lives.
…
Inside the Behemoth Steel Plant.
After gaining a foothold in the four combat areas they had occupied, the soldiers of Heng'an Defense began to continue their attacks on other combat areas on both sides.
They need to expand their positions as much as possible, kill enemy soldiers and seize their positions.
When the infantry and armored troops launch an attack, the mechas also need to follow the battle, with the infantry and armored troops acting as bait and search teams to lure out the enemies in the dark.
It may sound cruel, but this is the normal way of warfare. Even without mechas, these infantry and armored soldiers still need to fight in this way.
With the support of mechas, their casualty rate will be reduced a lot.
The battle at this time did not require every mecha to be deployed.
For example, the fifth group of mechas began to fight in rotation, with one mecha dispatched each time to follow the infantry into battle.
Of course, the other two are not resting completely. They will follow at a relatively distance, not using psychic connection, but using propulsion rods to follow.
In this way, a simple battle can be handled by a mecha in the front, and the two mechas behind them do not need to consume spiritual energy.
Once the battle becomes intense or a high-value target is discovered, they can join the battle at the first opportunity.
Following the two mechas at the rear were four auxiliary soldier teams from the fifth group.
They drove tracked armored vehicles, carrying ammunition and soldiers,
The electromagnetic machine guns on the armored vehicles are also operated by soldiers, who are always on guard against the surroundings.
Once there is any unusual movement around them, they will open fire immediately and launch a fire attack.
At this time, the one following the infantry to fight was Li Xin, and the first two rounds were Jiang Lou and Feng Dai.
Li Xin sat in the cockpit, following the infantry not too far away, so that he could support the infantry at the first time.
Of course, the soldiers in front were not just infantry. They were led by a Deerstalker, followed by three Short-tailed Rats.
The infantry and tanks worked together, with the infantry scattered on both sides, and three or four infantrymen formed a combat group.
Each combat group is separated by 20 to 30 meters.
This distance prevents everyone from being wiped out in one fell swoop if danger arises, and also ensures the density of firepower.
The deer hunters led the charge, with the short-tailed rats moving back and forth to provide fire support.
As for why mechas are not used as the vanguard, the reason is very simple. If combat weapons such as mechas appear on the front line, the enemies will not appear at all.
They are all hiding underground like rats, so even if we sweep the entire Behemoth Steel Plant, it will not help us capture this large stronghold.
To occupy this place, we not only need to occupy the territory, but also need to kill the enemy's manpower.
