Following the battle was a company, with the commander conducting pre-battle command in the center and rear.
The roar of tank engines echoed in the ruins, and fire control radars scanned the surroundings.
An infantry combat team on the side moved forward quickly and entered a small ruin.
The assaulter threw a grenade inside and quickly rushed in after the explosion. After checking the entire small ruins, the team determined that it was temporarily safe.
Start establishing a simple defensive perimeter here, where they can hold their position for at least the next few hours.
The progress of the war is much slower than expected.
It was not like what Li Xin watched on TV in his previous life, where a ruthless guy could hold a machine gun and fire away, quickly clearing out the enemy's fortifications one by one.
Although the mecha can indeed do this, as long as the enemy shows up, Li Xin's machine guns and even electromagnetic guns can react instantly.
But this requires the enemy to emerge.
The Behemoth Steel Plant was a complete urban fighting environment. In such an environment, it would not be urban fighting if you just bombed it with heavy artillery or bombers and then came back to fight.
The previous offensive and defensive battles had turned the steel plant into a large ruin.
No matter how much firepower is poured in or how many explosions are carried out, it will still be a ruin, but the location of the ruins will change.
This is a ruined street fighting environment, with too many places for the enemy to hide.
When the enemy does not show up, even if Li Xin fires plasma cannons at all the places where people may hide, he cannot hurt the enemy at all.
Life is precious, and the infantrymen need to find good cover when moving. There may be people hiding behind every street, every alley, and every ruin they pass by.
These Heng'an Defense soldiers are not cabbages. They can die and be used as cannon fodder, but they cannot die in vain.
To advance to a location, it takes at least ten minutes of peripheral reconnaissance. If there are places to hide inside, it will take more time to investigate.
The infantry's advance was much slower than expected.
In front, four people from a combat team were passing through the street quickly, but a gun muzzle was seen about a hundred meters ahead.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
A series of bullets shot out from the muzzle, directly knocking down an infantryman. The projectiles from the electromagnetic gun directly tore the infantryman's upper body into pieces, making him deader than dead.
Of the other three, one rushed forward, while two returned to the shelter they had just taken.
A combat team was intercepted and split in half.
"Call for backup!"
"Call for armored support!"
The leader of the combat team shouted loudly into the headset.
The Deer Hunter tank, which was not far behind, started its engine quickly and rushed to the front.
The 120mm electromagnetic gun aimed at the place where the fire had just started and opened fire instantly:
"boom!"
An electromagnetic cannon shell flew out of the barrel and hit the small bunker!
"boom!!!"
The high-explosive ammunition blew the bunker away, but there seemed to be no enemies inside.
After firing, the enemy infantry quickly moved their positions.
But no matter how fast the infantry ran, they couldn't run far unless there was a tunnel below.
The Deer Hunter started up quickly, its tracks spinning at high speed, approaching the place where the explosion had just occurred and began searching for the enemy's escape route.
The Short-tailed Rat in the rear also came to support, and the machine gun began to intensively strafed the position where the enemy might be hiding.
“Thump, thump, thump!”
“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”
Any windows, ruins, or caves around here where people might be hiding were strafed by machine guns.
But after a random sweep, no trace of the enemy seemed to be found.
Under the cover of the armored vehicles, the infantry team quickly collected the bodies of their fallen comrades and loaded them into the rear of the armored vehicles.
Although the soldiers are dead, their bodies still need to be recovered, otherwise it will have a huge impact on morale.
Li Xin, who was standing a little behind, looked at the bloody ground in front of him and sighed imperceptibly.
This is war, modern warfare.
Even though new combat weapons such as mechas have emerged, infantry still suffer the highest casualties on the battlefield.
The soldiers continued to advance, and Li Xin also controlled the mecha to move forward. Although he did not open fire, the existence of the mecha itself was a huge threat to the enemy.
Li Xin passed by the place where the shooting had just taken place. Through the scanning of the psychic chip and the mecha, he vaguely discovered that there was something wrong below.
Just a hint, because there was no sign of life below on the radar.
And below the ruins that had been bombed by a tank's high-explosive bomb, there was a small pit that was temporarily built.
At this moment, a soldier from Milda's Retainers Army was crouching among them. He was wearing urban camouflage uniform and a light bulletproof vest on his chest.
This type of bulletproof vest can only resist gunpowder bullets and has no resistance to electromagnetic gun ammunition.
The defensive power of the clothes worn is almost zero in such a war intensity.
He was also wearing a blanket. This blanket was not cheap and could block electromagnetic signals, prevent thermal imaging from showing up, and even block psychic energy.
This was also the reason why the veteran did not escape from the rear after the battle.
According to what happened just now, if he really wanted to escape, he might have died on the way.
The Deer Hunter tank just now didn't give him time to escape.
Now, the old soldier huddled down below, listening to the heavy footsteps beside him.
He knew that the enemy's mecha was approaching. At this time, the veteran was more calm. He slowed down his breathing and even consciously adjusted his heartbeat.
He believed in his hiding skills, and the place had been bombed by high-explosive tank shells and had become a ruin. Even if he wanted to escape, it would be difficult.
No one will come to check again.
Li Xin on the mecha stopped. He had just felt something was wrong and was about to leave, but stopped again.
"Buzz!"
The power halberd on his right arm instantly activated the decomposition force field, and a light blue light appeared on the hard halberd blade.
Li Xin controlled the halberd as if using his own arm, and stabbed it fiercely towards the ruins below.
“Sizzle!”
The ruins were directly penetrated, both the bricks and reinforced concrete above were directly penetrated.
The veteran below was so frightened that he dared not move, because the light blue halberd blade was less than a meter away from him.
As long as the veteran raised his head, he could even see the light blue decomposition force field on the halberd blade.
"brush!"
The power halberd was taken back, and Miranda's attendant veteran also breathed a sigh of relief.
He sneered in his heart: What a crappy mecha, I still managed to dodge it!
As a result, the next moment, a plasma cannon shot in through the hole left by the halberd!
"boom!!"
