"What is this?" Lieutenant Martinez looked at the wheeled combat vehicle that had just stopped in front of him and asked with a puzzled expression, "I remember, didn't we add tanks?" Even if there is no Guardian style, at least M1A2 still exists, right? How did you get this back? ”

"That's what came down above. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Sergeant Nanz jumped down from the wheeled tank, patted the armor plate of the tank, and said, "There are too many troops that need to be replenished and need heavy equipment, and because we are the first troops to enter the battle, we have the opportunity to receive this best equipment." ”

"Sergeant, are you sure you're not joking with me?" Lieutenant Martinez looked at Sergeant Nanz in amazement, "It's not that we haven't used wheeled combat vehicles, and you have also driven a few times in the Stryter armored car, what do you think this kind of thing is useful in front of those strange things?" ”

"I don't know why, Lieutenant." Sergeant Nanz shrugged, also with a helpless expression, "It says that this thing is better than the M1A2, at least the firepower exceeds the 120mm gun of the M1A2." ”

"Ah, yes, 150mm guns, caliber is justice." Looking at the huge barrel on the turret of the eight-wheeled chariot, Lieutenant Martinez's face was full of bitterness, "We're going to fight street battles, and we need something thicker armor, do you think these wheeled chariots can protect us?" ”

"Maybe it's possible, Lieutenant." Another subordinate of Lieutenant Martinez, Corporal Imre, also jumped from the wheeled combat vehicle, "This thing is 35 tons, except for the unmanned turret and the entire power and drive system, the rest of the weight is basically concentrated on the armor." Although I don't know what kind of armor this is, the instructions say that it is equivalent to 1000 mm of homogeneous steel armor, and it is also in full position. If it weren't used to coax people, then the defense of this hunter chariot would have surpassed that of the M1A2. And it also reaches a high speed of 120 kilometers per hour on road and 80 kilometers per hour on off-road. This is simply a sports car in a chariot! ”

"It doesn't matter, Imre." Martinez pressed his temple with a bit of a headache, "What we need is reliable equipment that will allow us to go in and come out alive." We hadn't even trained this kind of vehicle, so we immediately let it be used on the battlefield, and I had never heard of such a thing! ”

"Luckily, it's actually pretty easy to handle." Imre gently kicked the Hunter's chariot's huge mine-resistant solid wheels with a tread width of one meter from his leg, "as comfortable as driving a luxury car." Only two people are needed to fight, and four more infantrymen can sit inside. ”

"But what I want to know is its operational data. We have not even heard of this tank before, and we do not know anything about its data, nor are the tactics of its application. ”

"That's why I've given you an hour to get used to this new vehicle, Lieutenant." At this time, a man's voice came from behind Martinez, and when he looked back, it was his regiment leader, Marico? Colonel Baldwin.

"Sir, I remember we had 48 hours left." After saluting the chief, Martinez asked in a whisper, "Why do you say it's only for an hour?" ”

"There are no more 48 hours." Marico? Colonel Baldwin didn't lower his voice as Martinez did, he didn't care if anyone else heard their conversation, "Things have changed. ”

"Change? Did the rebels send reinforcements, or did the Sijing people leave the landing ground and start attacking the rest of New York? ”

"It's a rescue and reconnaissance mission." The colonel motioned to the lieutenant to come up to the side of the map, "You should know that in the previous combat operations, although most of the civilians in the combat area were successfully evacuated, there were still many people stranded, and we estimate that the number is between five and one hundred thousand. Moreover, in the previous battle, we did not completely wipe out those rebels, and conservatively estimated that there were at least 3,000 to 4,000 rebel troops in the city. As for the strength of the Sijing people, you have also read the information released, those things can directly send troops to New York, and we have no way to estimate how many troops they have. Now, a group of identified civilians, as well as some NYC police officers, are trapped inside a high school near Ricky Bay. The total number of people who need to be rescued is 573. Your mission is to cross the river by boat, escort everyone back to the ship, and then head to Brighton Beach to scout the landing area of the Scythrians up close. ”

"Do you want someone to scout?" Martinez hesitantly asked, "Where are our satellites and drones?" ”

"Satellites are jammed, drones are shot down." The colonel spread his hands, "Even the high-altitude reconnaissance plane sent did not come back alive." Otherwise, why don't you think we just send a helicopter to airlift those trapped people back? Now it is very difficult to maintain radio communication, don't think about satellite communication, Sijing people will not give us these opportunities. ”

"When will the battleship come back?" Martinez asked, "Isn't it only the main guns of the Iowa-class battleships that can destroy the shields that the Sjerlanders cover on the landing ground?" With those shields, it is difficult for us to reconnoitre, especially with the presence of plasma clouds, and metal objects that are close to a certain distance will be burned into char by lightning. Those fighters have proven this for us many times. ”

"It will take some time, and the above plans to concentrate a few battleships and act together to drive the Sijing people out of Brighton at once." At this point, the Colonel looked around, lowered his voice and said to Lieutenant Martinez, "Attention, don't let your men know what I'm going to tell you next." ”

"Yes, sir." Knowing that the colonel was going to say some classified information, Martinez nodded.

"There is reliable information from above, a fleet of Sijing people is flying in the direction of New York, numbering one mothership and two gunboats. Although the other side was blocked on the way, lost one gunboat, and caused the other two to be stranded for a considerable time, in the end, the two air warships remained in place for a few days, and they continued to fly towards New York, and are expected to arrive off the coast of New York at about 10 o'clock this evening. You've heard about Pearl Harbor, which means that if that fleet reaches New York, then we might lose New York. So your real task is to provide accurate laser positioning for possible tactical strikes later. ”

"But the satellite system is not already ......"

"No need for satellites." Marico? Colonel Baldwin turned and twisted his neck at his retinue, and his entourage, two young noncommissioned officers, placed a black suitcase on the table where the map was placed.

After motioning for the two non-commissioned officers to step back, the colonel pushed the suitcase to Lieutenant Martinez and said, "This is the locator transmitter, it has its own set of intercommunication lines, and you don't need to make a signal connection anymore." You just need to be a kilometer away and aim the laser at the target with the laser above. It doesn't need to be positioned all the way, and the strike unit no longer needs the laser to continue guiding after entering the final attack program. So after the positioning is successful, you have three minutes to leave the original position. To be honest, I don't know what will be used from above for tactical strikes. If it's just a conventional missile, it doesn't matter if you stay where you are, three minutes is enough time for you to leave a short distance. But the three-minute evacuation time was specifically mentioned above when handing over this thing to me, that is, the so-called tactical strike, which is very likely to be ......"

"It's probably a tactical nuclear bomb." Martinez shrugged and said, "Three minutes, if it's a nuclear bomb, I don't have the confidence to run to safety." But I guess we can hide in the subway tunnel. I just don't know if the subway can withstand a nuclear strike. ”

"It's hard for me to give such an order that could cost you your life, Martinez, we've known each other for years, and we've been neighbors since before you joined the army, so I shouldn't have given this order, but you know, now is not the time to think about personal feelings. There are orders from above, and we have to carry them out unconditionally. ”

"That's enough, sir." Martinez smiled, opened his suitcase, checked the equipment, and said, "You didn't need to tell me the truth. But since you've found me, it means that in your mind, I'm probably the only one who is the best person. Since I'm the best candidate, I might be able to bring myself and my men back alive. What's more, don't we have a new toy? An armored sports car with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, this thing should be able to take us safely out of the explosion point. Besides, it doesn't have to be a nuclear bomb. The White House should want to keep New York. (To be continued.) )
