An hour later, the team of about sixty special forces was now hidden in a warehouse, unlike an hour ago, most of them were scarred, their power exoskeletons were also tattered, the number of humanoid combat robots with the team was mostly half, and the rest were all wounded.

Ten minutes earlier, the special forces had inadvertently encountered a Sijing combat team of fifteen shockwave robots and three Seeker hovering vehicles that had not been detected in previous reconnaissance.

Neither side expected that there would be a sudden encounter on a side street. Years of rich combat experience on the human side and the robots that take the lead have helped them. With the help of robots as cover, the human special forces successfully found suitable cover and attacked first. However, the huge Shockwave Robot cannot use the surrounding buildings as cover, and can only rely on its heavy armor to resist the attack of human firearms.

Fortunately, they also have three Seeker hovering vehicles. This kind of suspended weapon, which can only be regarded as a light chariot in the eyes of Iron Eagle, is also difficult to deal with in front of ordinary human armies without heavy firepower. At least their protective force field is not something that can be easily destroyed by ordinary methods.

After discovering that his side's ordinary firearms, with the exception of heavy anti-materiel sniper weapons, could not penetrate even the force field outside those hovering vehicles, Captain Tony immediately understood that they were in real trouble.

The 25mm high-explosive armor-piercing projectile of the M109, a heavy anti-materiel sniper weapon, penetrates the force field protective layer, but can only blow up fist-sized craters in the seeker's surface armor. and not destroy them. And grenades can only make them shake for a while, and they don't do much, while gun grenades have the same effect as grenades.

Only bazookas and anti-tank missiles can inflict effective damage on it. But the Shockwave Robots were clinging to the Seeker's vehicle, firing at every human who might fire anti-armor fire at the hovering vehicle, interfering with its anti-armor weapons if they couldn't hit anyone. At the time of the battle with Iron Eagle and Wang **, they had already suffered enough from all kinds of anti-armor weapons, although they were only a group of automatic weapons, but at least the Sijing people behind them could programmatically strengthen their defensive awareness of this situation.

Several anti-tank missile attacks were disrupted by these shock wave robots, which made Captain Tony already a little angry. But there are a lot of them, those shock wave robots can't be prevented, after all, a searcher was circled by the house behind them, and the special forces used three missiles to set fire to destroy the M Army, and the soldiers still knew that these targets were very protective. Even missiles need to be attacked by concentrated fire, and the intelligence gathering and reconnaissance capabilities of the people of country M are still very sharp.

One less Seeker would also be one less heavy firepower point, after all, compared to the Shock Wave Robot's single-soldier plasma bomb. The Seeker's plasma bombs are too powerful to hit armored vehicles. The bunkers used by those special forces to hide were completely eroded by the plasma after a few hits, and many people were injured in such a situation, and even their bones were gone.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, after paying a few Gordon robots carrying anti-tank missile launchers to attack and attract the opponent's firepower, Tony personally led a team of people to assault the Sijing troops again from another direction, and after a fierce firefight, they finally annihilated the Sijing combat team, which was actually very small in number. It has also paid a lot of price.

"We can't go any further." Second Lieutenant Rossley said solemnly, he was also being treated by the medics. In the previous encounter, his arm was grazed by a plasma bomb, which not only destroyed the part of his power exoskeleton arm, but also took away a muscle from his arm, which he had only wrapped around with gauze, but now that the battle is over and they are safe for the time being, they are free to receive more professional treatment.

"That's right, if we go any further, we'll be wiped out." Captain Tony nodded, and found a random place to sit down, although he was not injured, but he was tired enough, under such a high-intensity battle, even if there was a powered exoskeleton, his physical strength was seriously consumed, "The more you go inside, the greater the chance of encountering an enemy of that size, the satellite photos are useless, and the situation monitored is changing at any time." Those Sijing troops seem to have used the Storm Pillar as a rallying point? All the scattered troops came in. ”

"Maybe." Ensign Rosley looked at his wound, which was already bandaged, so he took the spare parts from his backpack and reattached the arms of the power exoskeleton, "Maybe we can infiltrate it by breaking it into pieces, but we definitely can't control the storm pillar, and there are more enemies inside." The point is, we can't pretend to be infiltrated yet, we can't make ourselves a ball. ”

Hearing Ensign Rosley's little joke, the soldiers around him let out a low chuckle.

"Alright, man, even if we sneak in, it won't help." Tony gasped for a moment, feeling better, then picked up his weapon and checked, "We don't have enough manpower to clear out all the Sijing people around the Storm Pillar, and we still have to hold there. What's more, we are running out of ammunition. ”

"Running out of ammo?" Ensign Rossley was stunned for a moment, and immediately checked his ammunition stockpile.

"I'm not talking about rifle bullets." Captain Tony said, "It's the heavy firepower of missiles and rockets. Although I thought about encountering armored targets before, I didn't expect that there would be so many encounters, and the opponent was so strong, we had to use a lot of anti-armor firepower every time to solve it. ”

"You're right, we've only gotten to this point, we've already used two-thirds of our heavy firepower, and we're still six kilometers away from the Storm Pillar. And ......," Second Lieutenant Rosley glanced at Tony, "according to the information provided by Wang **, that storm pillar also has its own attack power, and the range reaches 5 kilometers, which means that we will be attacked by it if we get closer to a kilometer distance." Ah, celestial weapons, it sounds sci-fi. Maybe we should abandon this mission? ”

"Don't worry about these things." Captain Tony said, "Regardless of whether the information provided by Wang ** is true or false, at least we have to judge for ourselves." Besides, we're not unprepared. ”

"Looks like you already know something?" Ensign Rosley didn't have many surprises, this kind of situation had happened a lot before, who called Tony's military rank higher, and it was normal for him to know more information than he did.

"I don't know much, Lieutenant Colonel Dean knows more." Tony shrugged, his movements amplified by the powered exoskeleton, which drew a lot of attention to this, "We have a set of equipment that is said to be able to disguise the identification signal of the Sijing people, so that it will not be attacked by long-range automatic defense devices such as storm pillars. But it also has the disadvantage that it cannot be disguised as video data, that is, as long as it is seen by the Sijing people, this set of equipment will not work. Otherwise, we would have used this system to enter the area where the Storm Pillar is located, which is why we have been trying to find a route to enter without the existence of the Sijing people. ”

"Has that system been tested before?" Second Lieutenant Rossley stopped what he was doing and asked in surprise, "Aside from that time in New York, have we ever dealt with the Sijing people?" ”

"How do I know this?" Captain Tony squinted at Ensign Rosley, "This set of equipment was given to us directly from above, except for knowing that this thing was made by Future Tech, even Lieutenant Colonel Dean doesn't know about it." ”

"Are we going to take an adventure then?" Rossley asked, was he a little reluctant to take any more risks now, or should he say he was going to die?

"I still have to go, this time there is a death order from above, you all know." Tony shook his head, "If we don't want to go to court-martial, we'll have to try again, or we'll be lucky enough to come across a good enough explanation." ”

"Where's that equipment? Maybe we can get the bots to try it? Putting the device on the robot, we watched from a distance. ”

"That's what I think, too, but only if we walk another kilometer, through the Szyg's zone of control, approaching the edge of the Storm Pillar. Can you still take such a risk? ”

"It's just a kilometre, we shouldn't have a problem because we're training for situations like this." (To be continued......)
