After knowing the detailed information of the mission, Han Tiefang was relieved, this task was not difficult to complete, but it could take about ten days. The distance from the Silver Starfish to Harrodway is not close, because Harrodway is far away from the shipping lane, so there is no way to reach it directly through the artificial wormhole, so it takes a little more time, but it is not a problem.

After Han Tiefang took over the task, he summoned ten squad leaders to discuss the assignment, although this time the task was not heavy, and the probability of battle could be said to be zero, but because the task of escorting items was relatively large, and there was also a group of scientific researchers, Han Tiefang still decided to dispatch all members of the seventh squadron.

On January 28, at the Silver Starfish Spaceport, Han Tiefang commanded ten light warships to escort the five merchant ships of the Harold Consortium and set off. Head east and start the voyage through Artificial Wormhole 1.

Along the way, the security personnel of Xinghai Security Company were vigilant, which is also the proper attitude to do tasks. However, the journey was uneventful, without any accidents, and arrived at Harrodway ten days later. The peace along the way made everyone happy, after all, no one wants to have an accident.

Because Harrodway is a planet that has not yet been formally settled, therefore, there is only a scientific research city established by the Harold Consortium on the whole planet, which is a temporary city covering an area of tens of kilometers, and more cities will be built in the future due to large-scale migration. This research city is located at the confluence of rivers and seas in the eastern part of the largest continent, which is also an advantage that can take full advantage of water transportation.

Although the city has only just been built, it has all the necessary defenses. After the completion of the spaceport mooring in the city. The 7th Squadron set up a defensive cordon, and the merchant ships of the Harold Consortium could begin unloading those valuable instruments. It would take a whole day to uninstall it. After all. This is an instrument 10,000 times more valuable than gold. If you want to uninstall, you have to be careful. If you break one, that's bad.

Seeing the workers busy in the spaceport, Han Tiefang sat in the command room of his flagship Tiefang. Ling Meimei came over and ran through the door: "I said boss, don't you go down to rest for a while?" Seeing Ling Meimei's water-like eyes, the other team members on the Iron Square all smiled knowingly.

Han Tiefang frowned and said: "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I always feel that something is wrong, I feel that something is happening, but I can't grasp the point, Meimei." Inform everyone that everything is careful, we do our own thing, and we can't relax. When I got back to Silver Starfish, I invited everyone to drink. "Then you're going to have to go bankrupt, hehe. "Of course, Ling Meimei, who has a crush on Han Tie Fang in her heart, will not refuse the order given by Han Tie Fang.

"Do you want to make some preparations?" Han Tiefang was a little undecided. He suddenly remembered what his father had taught: "But in everything, it's always right to be prepared." You can't take everything into your hands, you can't control the enemy's mind, the enemy will always attack where you didn't expect it, so the only thing you can do is be prepared. Think about the worst, and only by preparing for the worst can you win the worst. He was determined. Immediately start sending a communication to Headquarters in person.

As the minutes ticked by, the 7th Squadron was already halfway up its defensive position. The individual force field cover generators have been installed. All kinds of automatic anti-aircraft cannons have also been fixed one by one, and it is believed that in another three hours the positions will be completely arranged.

The so-called construction of positions is certainly not about digging trenches or the like. Under modern technology, the power of all kinds of weapons is too strong, even any kind of weapon of a single soldier has the power of a small nuclear bomb, such as the rifle used by a single soldier, its attack reaches more than thirteen, the power of thirteen levels, but it is much more terrifying than a nuclear bomb. Not to mention other heavy weapons. Therefore, the positions under modern technology are no longer those useless trenches, but only two sides.

In terms of defense, it is a portable individual bunker and a large force field cover. The portable one-man bunker, to put it more easily, is a large mass of liquid metal like a liquid armor, controlled by an intelligent computer inside. You can freely set the shape, appearance, size, and other parameters of the cover, and you can also move freely. It can be said that it is very safe and flexible. Its defense is also quite high, although it is not as good as a battle mech, but it is not much worse, and the cost is much cheaper than a battle mech. As for the large force field cover, that is the focus of the construction of the position installation. A position that is not protected by a large force field cover cannot withstand a round of enemy firepower. Individual bunkers, while well defended, are far from powerful artillery fire. Therefore, this large force field cover is absolutely necessary. The large force field cover is not a small guy, it is a large guy that covers an area of more than 500 square meters and weighs 3,000 tons, it does not need any special construction to be able to place, but only one requirement: the ground where it is placed must be strong enough, otherwise, it is easy to have problems. Therefore, in order to place this big guy, you have to use heavy machinery to level the land first.

On the offensive side, it was not enough to rely on the rifles of the infantry and the anti-aircraft guns of individual soldiers. What really played a defensive role was the automatic anti-aircraft cannon. There are dozens of models of automatic anti-aircraft guns, which can be divided into heavy, large, medium and light in general, and in private companies such as security companies, it is good to be able to get medium and light ones, but you don't have to think about getting large ones. Automatic anti-aircraft cannons are a good treasure produced by Qian Technology, and they are also a unique business.

The appearance of the automatic anti-aircraft cannon is like a semi-circular ball, the diameter of the light is ten meters, the upper part of the cannon can move freely, the double diameter of the two anti-aircraft cannons of 150 mm caliber is 50 times the diameter, and it can move at a wide range of angles, basically all the enemies in front of it can not avoid its attack.

The most lethal thing about the automatic anti-aircraft cannon is the word automatic, as long as it is installed, it can run automatically around the clock, and it does not need any manual management at all, and Qian Technology Company has done a test for 50 years. A heavy automatic anti-aircraft cannon has been in the field for fifty years without incident. And it can continue to run. It is estimated that it will continue to operate normally for at least thirty to fifty years. This alone has already demonstrated the reliability of automatic anti-aircraft cannons. Therefore, the automatic anti-aircraft cannon has become the first choice of defensive weapons for arranging positions.

There are so many functions of the automatic anti-aircraft cannon that it is not clear for a while, and its instructions are as thick as a book, and if you want to understand its principle and all its functions, you have to sit down and read it for a few days. However, installing it can be a hassle. The light automatic anti-aircraft guns all weighed up to 2,000 tons. It also has to withstand the recoil of the cannon and the countless enemy artillery fire, and the ground on which it is installed must be very solid, at least more than the ground on which the large force field cover is installed. In addition, there are quite a lot of them, so it is also a relatively heavy task to install more than 100 automatic anti-aircraft cannons.

The 1,000 officers and men of the 7th Squadron were already very tired after flying a distance of tens of thousands of light years, and if they immediately threw themselves into the construction of the position without resting, they were naturally even more tired, and they inevitably complained to the commander of Han Tiefang: "It's really hairless." If you don't do things well, you are clearly playing with us. Just like this, we have to build a field position in a day and a half, are you really afraid that we will not be tired to death?" Of course, they didn't dare to say it in front of Han Tiefang.

Just when the unloading of the instrument was basically completed, suddenly, the radar soldier exclaimed: "Squadron leader, there is a situation." Han Tiefang jumped up like an arrow, and rushed to the radar soldier in a few arrows, but saw nothing but a snowflake on the screen. It's not just the radar screen on the Iron Square that has snowflakes, it's the same with all other radars, and it's clear that it's definitely not a radar failure, but signal interference, and it's also high-power all-channel interference.

Han Tiefang's heart sank, and he ordered: "Call the defense department of the scientific research city." "The captain of the report has been called, and there is a problem with the radar on their side as well. "Order all squads to immediately switch to special alert and open the force field cover. "Yes. The radar soldier immediately conveyed the order. Although there is full-channel interference, short-distance communication can still be guaranteed.

"Enemy attack. "Before the defense forces of the scientific research city could react, the fighters of the seventh squadron had already opened fire, and a group of masked star thieves had already launched an attack on the positions of the fifth and sixth squads of the seventh squadron. Countless automatic anti-aircraft cannons immediately opened fire, and for a time, the sound of gunfire woke up countless people.

Most of the people in the 7th Squadron are new recruits and don't have much combat experience, and in the face of the enemy's sneak attack, they are confused for a while, and they only know that they are firing at the enemy indiscriminately, so although the Dao Dao beam is flying all over the sky, the lethality to the enemy is not great. And the enemy's artillery fire was also fierce, fortunately, under the protection of the force field cover, the 7th Squadron did not cause any casualties.

Han Tiefang appeared on the seaside defense line and shouted: "All calm down, calm down, don't fire indiscriminately, concentrate, condense your primordial spirit, and use your primordial spirit to lock the enemy." That's it. Han Tiefang grabbed a single anti-aircraft cannon, closed his eyes and concentrated, and with a slam snap, a speed of light flew out of the muzzle, breaking through the force field cover, and hitting an enemy thirty kilometers away. The enemy had been shot head-on, and where was there to survive? had been turned to char by the great energy.

"Don't worry, we have the protection of the strong field cover, the enemy's artillery fire can't hurt us for a while, even if they lock on to us, we are the defending side, you can rely on the protection of the force field cover, and they don't, they hit us, they can't hurt us, and we hit them, as long as they hit them, they will die, so, fight slowly, hit one is victory. "The cold iron side continues to boost morale.

Combat is like this, if someone commands, a scattered army can be gathered and exert its due combat effectiveness, and if there is no one to command, then there is no combat effectiveness. Hearing that Han Tiefang was standing at the forefront of the position, from time to time there was artillery fire on the defensive cover of the force field cover less than fifty meters in front of him, emitting a point of light in the sky, with the artillery fire as the background, Han Tiefang's tall figure seemed taller for a while, seeing his javelin-like straight body, the soldiers of the seventh squadron slowly stabilized, and the cannon became much more orderly, at least, there would be no more empty guns. Anytime, if the commander can go to the front line in person, the morale of the officers and men on the front line will be greatly boosted. (To be continued......)
