In many cases, infantry are consumables, and there is really nothing we can do about it.
A tank is very expensive, and an armored infantry fighting vehicle is not cheap either.
If you use them to clear a path, you might get shot in the head by an electromagnetic cannon shell if you're not careful.
The losses were too great, and these tanks and infantry fighting vehicles also had the task of providing fire support.
Without these armored vehicles, the battle would be really difficult.
In comparison, these ordinary infantrymen of Hengan Defense are much more cost-effective.
Most of their weapons are X-49, and they even buy their own bulletproof vests and bulletproof plates.
Moreover, most of these soldiers have very little combat experience.
It's hard to imagine that this is an infantry unit from the Star Wars era, and it feels like a militia.
One night, Feng Dai, sitting around a campfire, gave his own explanation for Li Xin's doubts:
"You think they're weak and suck, right?"
Although he didn't want to admit it, this was indeed what Li Xin thought. He nodded and said, "It seems so."
"I thought the armored troops were bad enough, but I didn't expect the soldiers in these infantry battalions to have even worse combat skills."
In Li Xin's opinion, the combat skills of these veterans must be at least as good as those of the group of infantrymen who rode on the big-bellied bird at that time.
Sitting next to the group of veterans at that time, Li Xin could directly feel how elite those veterans were, and this was not just the effect of their equipment.
What is more important is their temperament, that kind of indifferent temperament.
And even these may not be the real elite infantry of Blueprint Biotechnology Group, because the real elite will not be sent to such a meat-mincing battlefield.
Feng Dai smiled and said, "You are still too young."
"Where do you think this is? Do you think this is the city under the Blueprint Group?"
"This is Heng'an Defense. The soldiers you see are all veterans."
"You should just be happy that they didn't send us a batch of infantrymen who just picked up guns and went to the battlefield after a month or so of training."
"Such a veteran..." Li Xin sighed slightly.
Feng Dai said, "In a battlefield like Behemoth, even if you send the group's elite infantry and the expeditionary army's infantry battalion here, will they perform better than them?"
"What do you think?"
Li Xin shook his head and said, "Probably not."
In this kind of street fighting battlefield, even if elite infantry were really sent in, it would probably be the same. They might perform better, but there would also be the inevitable casualties.
The environment of the Behemoth Steelworks, coupled with the soldiers of the Milda Retainers inside, are good at pulling everyone to the same level as them, and then using their rich experience to kill and injure the enemy.
Feng Dai said, "If we send elite infantry, the casualties will definitely be lower, but they won't be much lower."
"We rarely even deploy mechas now. You know why. The enemies just hit and run, making it hard for mechas to chase them."
"A bad fight like this can only be won by heaping up lives."
"In the rear, Heng'an Defense has sent in another infantry regiment, more than 1,500 men."
"They really aren't afraid of casualties, because no matter how many casualties there are, to them, they are just a string of numbers."
"You know, in the mining towns, the mines that have long been mined are full of men with nothing to do."
"It's too easy for Heng'an Defense to recruit soldiers."
"Such soldiers, after only a month or two of training, are sent to the battlefield. How do you think they will perform?"
"Five thousand yuan can make a man from a mining area take up arms and work for Heng'an Defense for a month."
"We don't need any pensions, as long as they have enough to eat."
"Anyway, Guansuo Si doesn't have much of anything, but it has the most people."
Li Xin nodded silently, what Feng Dai said made sense.
That is indeed the case, five thousand yuan, this is planetary currency, the currency used by ordinary non-corporate people.
For example, the corporate staff of Blueprint Group and some official personnel of the Knights of Milda use different methods. They all use energy coins.
The ratio of energy coins to planet coins is one to one thousand, and they can only be exchanged one by one. Energy coins can only be exchanged for planet coins, but planet coins cannot be exchanged for energy coins.
In total, five energy coins can keep these Heng'an Defense infantrymen fighting for a month.
But if you think about it carefully, there is not much difference between Li Xin and them. The only difference is that Li Xin's salary is higher.
Now that Li Xin is in the war zone and on the battlefield, his income is quite considerable.
When Li Xin thought about the chip loan he still had, he fell silent. Even with his current income in the war zone, it would take him about ten months to pay off the loan even if he didn't spend any money.
Taking out loans to work, what kind of life is this!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
The only difference between himself and those infantrymen of Heng'an Defense may be that Li Xin has a higher income and a potential future.
These infantrymen of Heng'an Defense have almost no future.
Even if they could survive this meat grinder-like battle in Behemoth, there would be another battle waiting for them.
Life is just a journey, and death is their destination!
This sentence suddenly flashed through Li Xin's mind, and the next moment, the chip in his mind began to sound the alarm.
"alarm!"
"alarm!"
"Chaos pollution is rising!"
The chip's alarm echoed in Li Xin's mind. He watched helplessly as his own level of contamination, which had originally dropped to 13.6%, soared to 21.3% because of that thought!
Finally, after Li Xin tried his best to forget that sentence and cleared his mind, the pollution level stopped rising.
Feng Dai quickly noticed Li Xin's condition. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Are you shocked by reality?"
Li Xin quickly calmed himself down, forced a smile, and said, "Yes, a little, but fortunately, I can bear it."
He was extremely shocked. He had not done anything at this time. The previous contamination was left over from the use of the psychic stimulation compound.
During this period, Li Xin's bowel movements were unusually smooth, which reduced the symptoms a lot.
As a result, the price increased so much because of one sentence, which scared Li Xin!
Is this the threat of Chaos?
Li Xin didn't dare to think about it any further, fearing that the sentence he had thought of was not correct and would trigger the influence of chaos again.
He cleared his mind and chatted with Feng Dai, listening to his bragging and nonsense.
The intensity of the recent battles even made them a little lax, and they did not enter the mecha after eating like they did on the first day.
