Chapter 144 Encountering an Airstrike
In accordance with the command's arrangement, artillery battalion commander Lu Yifa ordered the engineering squad to dig trenches and establish the Red Army's defense system.
Although most of the work is mechanized and completed by robots.
However, engineers also need to solve many on-site problems, which is also a physical job.
This preparation took about thirty minutes to complete.
Everyone was sweating profusely, pointing at the scorching sun above their heads, cursing the hyper-realistic feedback from the Star Network, and waiting fearfully for the battle to begin.
Yun Mo suddenly stood up straight, put her right hand to her ear, then pressed her finger against her temple and yelled, "Get down!"
"What?" The boy next to him was a little confused.
"Enemy attack!"
As Yun Mo spoke, she quickly rolled into the trench that had been dug.
Several other boys reacted immediately and fell to the ground as well.
"What? Don't disturb the morale of the troops by making such a fuss!"
Lu Yifa shouted loudly and was about to order them all to come out.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
The whistling of weapons came from overhead.
"Shit! Air raid! Air raid!!"
Lu Yifa, looking dusty and dirty, yelled into the communication.
The anti-aircraft guns and air-to-air missiles in the battalion were all quickly loaded. The radar signal fluctuated sharply, and the missiles, with tail sounds and long flames, were accurately shot into the air, exploding into fireworks.
Boom boom boom…
The muzzles of the laser cannons and anti-aircraft guns glowed red, and they sprayed out ammunition densely, trying to cover the sky with their own firepower.
In the distance, visible to the naked eye, there are white delta wings gliding rapidly towards the ground. They are the enemy's paratroopers!
Hurry, hurry, hurry...
The students serving as artillerymen were busy loading bombs, adjusting coordinates, and firing...
However, the air raid was too fierce. At the beginning, they were able to load the weapons with peace of mind and adjust the coordinates carefully. But later, as more and more delta-wing aircraft appeared in the air and the huge black fleet passed overhead, they began to panic.
The ammunition falls everywhere, and the chance of hitting is greatly reduced.
This is the difference between an untrained student and a soldier.
"Hide first!"
Lu Yifa felt that things were not going well. His side's shooting rate was too low and the opponent's offensive was too fierce. It would be better to save the lives of his own battalion first and then hope that his air force would be equally strong.
An entire battalion of people quickly covered the gun body with tarpaulins, creating a visual confusion.
Then everyone hid in the trench nearby.
"boom……"
"boom……"
"boom……"
Countless explosions rang in my ears, followed by screams and curses.
Many students' clothes turned white instantly, meaning they had been sacrificed and ejected from the system.
The dust kicked up by the ammunition flew towards them, covering their heads and faces.
"Fuck!" Lu Yi angrily slammed his hand on the ground.
They had long known that there were ill intentions at the Qingtong Fort battlefield. Explosives had been buried in the area where they were located. Now, with the artillery fire from the air raid, the high temperature detonated the dangerous goods underground, taking away countless lives!
Yun Mo lowered his head and lay in the half-meter-deep trench.
She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the school would even think of this. They didn't treat them as students at all, but as opponents that they should take seriously!
She carefully moved to the side and looked out from the gap in the grass. She saw an armored military vehicle coming not far away, and several NPCs jumped out.
They used various detection data to observe the Red Army's equipment and personnel at close range, and then left in military vehicles.
"Biased maneuvers!"
Lu Yi roared angrily. Yun Mo sat in the trench, his back against the wet soil, analyzing possible information.
Half an hour had passed, and there had been three air raids, tormenting the Red Team like crazy.
"spit……"
Everything around him was completely quiet. Lu Yifa crawled out of the trench, his whole body covered in mud and sand, as if he had been buried.
"Damn Qingtong Castle! They're trying to kill us!"
Bai Geping is still a freshman. From the beginning to now, he has almost been stunned.
"What's going on with them?"
Bai Geping flicked the sand off his forehead, his voice almost sounding like tears.
"What's going on? Normal!"
Lu Yifa let out a breath and almost burst into a curse.
Jiang Yaozhou shouldered his equipment and gave a warning, "Take advantage of this opportunity to quickly prepare for battle. This is just an appetizer. Even if we lose, we can't be kicked out in a few minutes!"
"Seniors, have you experienced this battlefield before?"
Xuan Ling, the freshman who had just followed Yun Mo, asked while pushing the chariot.
"Don't even mention it! The last time we came here, we were chased for three whole days. We couldn't sleep. We were bombed all the way. In the end, we didn't even see the blue team. We were completely eliminated!"
"Ah? Is it so exaggerated?" Bai Geping clicked his tongue.
"What do you know? Since this battlefield was built, the Blue Army has fought over a hundred battles and never lost a single one!"
"You know what? They have everything!"
"Hey, Captain Lu, should we quickly report our situation to the higher-ups? At least we should get an idea of the damage. The commanders need to tell us where to go. We can't just stay here and be sitting ducks."
Lu Yifa finally wiped his face and contacted the command center through the encrypted channel.
At this moment, a particularly shocking song came from the signalman's channel. It was so moving that it lingered above the entire Blue Army camp and echoed for a long time.
"Dad, Dad, where are we going? I'm not afraid of anything as long as I'm here..."
"Dad, Dad, where are we going..."
Lu Yifa was very upset.
"Signalman, what's going on?"
"I don't know, there was a communication failure just now!"
"Air raid! It's coming again! Hide!"
As these words were spoken, countless aircraft flew across the sky, and black shells rained down, and there was another wailing.
Lu Yifa looked at the number of people in his regiment. It had dropped from more than 1,500 to 700, with more than half of them killed in battle!
How can we play this!
Just as they turned around, a system announcement sounded in the air.
"The 1st Regiment of the Red Army suffered a massive air raid by the Blue Army, resulting in a 20% loss of personnel, a 30% loss of ammunition, and a 25% loss of weapons and equipment..."
"The Red Army's 1st Regiment's artillery battalion suffered a 50% reduction in personnel, a 40% loss in ammunition, and a loss of air defense capabilities..."
…
As data came out one after another, Wang Tao from the combat command center threw his hat directly on the table.
He couldn't accept this result.
Wang Tao pressed the data verification request. "We have already launched a fire interception, and our soldiers counterattacked immediately. The enemy did not hit our ammunition depot. Why is this the result?"
The system quickly responded, "I'm sorry, the Blue Team's weapons and equipment are superior to the Red Team's. Please do not question the fairness of the exercise."
"Fuck, there is no justice in Qingtong Castle."
