Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 135 War begins

Early the next morning, Chen Jian led the team back to the temporary camping site near the bridge.

At this time, Lei Jie and Xie Liu had been on the move for two hours. They had established a forward base on the other side of the river and completed the cleanup of scattered enemies in the surrounding area.

They remained unexposed and maintained maximum concealment.

In fact, although the most important part of combat reconnaissance is "exposure", how and when to expose also has its own rules.

A successful combat reconnaissance must mobilize the enemy's forces to the greatest extent possible, find out as much of the enemy's deployment as possible, use the smallest amount of troops to leverage the largest battle situation, and obtain enough intelligence so that subsequent large forces can launch a general offensive.

It is for this reason that when conducting combat reconnaissance missions, reconnaissance teams often have to carry a considerable number of heavy weapons.

This is not to cause damage, but to make the feint appear more realistic.

The same thing is what Chen Jian is doing now.

He counted all the weapons and took with him all the equipment he could carry.

Apart from the remaining reserves necessary for subsequent battles, he could be said to have lost everything he had.

The weapon racks of the exoskeleton are already full, with DZJ19 rocket launchers, PBW024 recoilless guns, Xiujian individual missiles, and Flight 201.
His single-person load reached an astonishing 120 kilograms. If it weren't for the exoskeleton, it would be extremely difficult for him to walk with such a weight, let alone move quickly.

The same went for the others. Even the Holy Blooders without exoskeletons tried their best to carry as much equipment and ammunition as possible.

Ji Xing is not good at using firearms, and it would be a waste to just let her act as a "human packhorse".

So Chen Jian gave her a rather difficult task.

Go forward to lure the enemy.

Moreover, advancing here does not mean simply surpassing one's own fire line, but going straight into the enemy's rear from the front of the battle, and constantly using explosives including grenades to harass the enemy.

She is a catfish, a catfish that is going to stir up the entire city of Anqing.

If this catfish of hers can play its due role, then even if Chen Jian's battle is not so smooth, the results of the combat reconnaissance should be guaranteed.

While leading the team to advance towards the forward base in a cat car, Chen Jian said to Ji Xing:

"You have to remember that your mission is to harass, and it is pure harassment, without any other tactical requirements."

"Move forward stealthily, find a suitable position, throw a grenade, and then evacuate quickly. That's all you need to do."

"Don't worry about casualties, and don't consider ammunition consumption."

"If you have used up all the grenades before completing the harassment of all points, then evacuate directly without any hesitation. Do you understand?"

".clear."

Ji Xing nodded slowly, but then asked again:
"Do you really want to do this? Is this kind of combat reconnaissance really meaningful?"

"Don't you already know the number of Terror Demons there? You even know how many Level 4 monsters there are."

"Isn't this information enough? Why take the risk?"

"not enough."

Chen Jian shook his head and replied:
"This is enough information to make an evacuation decision."

"But what we have to do is make offensive decisions, so we have to get as much information as possible."

"This is not your concern - although strictly speaking, you are not my subordinate."

"But if you want to cooperate, I still hope you can follow my orders."

"If you have any concerns, then withdraw now and Zeng Yi will take your place."

"But once the mission begins, if you quit halfway, we will regard it as betrayal, and you will become our enemy directly. Do you understand?"

".clear."

Ji Xing answered solemnly. Although his expression was not firm, he did not seem to have any intention of giving up.

At this time, the two cat cars had arrived at the forward base. After meeting up with Lei Jie and Xie Liu, Chen Jian made the final battle deployment.

"After setting off, we will march 206 meters west along the G500 Expressway in a single column, then continue west along Huazhong West Road, turn right at the intersection of Linghu South Road, and head north to the vicinity of Linghu Park."

"This route is wide at the front and narrow at the back. After entering Linghu South Road, the buildings on both sides of the street rise and the complexity of the terrain increases rapidly."

"The drone has already done a round of reconnaissance and found no abnormal heat sources or signs of enemy activity."

"But to ensure absolute safety, we still need two people to guard the buildings on both sides. Lei Jie and Shen Yue will be in charge."

"Xie Liu will be responsible for the rear guard, and the rest of the personnel will only focus on the forward direction."

"Our goal is to advance to the memorial hall on the riverside of Lianhu Park as quickly as possible and establish a firing point on the right square."

"From this position to the northwest, across Linghu Lake, we will have an open shooting range that goes straight to the central square of Anqing without any obstacles."

"After arriving, Li Shi, Lei Jie, and Zeng Yi quickly deployed a 301 heavy machine gun and two automatic howitzers."

"He Shuo looked for a commanding height to set up a sniper position and eliminate scattered enemies."

"Shen Yue is responsible for blocking the western passage. The number of enemies on the east side should be smaller, so Xie Liu will be in charge. At the same time, Xie Liu will advance eastward to clear an evacuation route for us."

"I'm in charge of all high-value targets, namely the Terror Leaders."

"Unless necessary, no one is allowed to change goals or tasks without authorization."

"All battlefield command is handed over to He Shuo, and the management of firepower resources is under the responsibility of He Shuo."

"do you understand?"

"understand!"

Everyone answered one by one. Ji Xing listened to Chen Jian's deployment in a daze and didn't react for a while.

Understood?
What do you understand?
It seemed like everyone in the team had a lot to do, but she only had one simple order.

Go as deep behind enemy lines as possible and harass as much as possible.

So is this a lack of trust in oneself, or a full trust in oneself?
Ji Xing couldn't understand it for a moment, but for the first time in a rare period of time, the thought of "wanting to fit in" appeared in her mind.

Isn't a fight like theirs a real fight?

The cooperation I had with others in the Basilica of the Holy Blood in the past might seem as ridiculous as child's play in front of them.

Ji Xing looked at Zeng Yi and the others who had serious faces. She didn't know yet that the same idea of hers had actually appeared in their minds a long time ago. It was this idea that allowed the three Holy Bloods to quickly integrate into Chen Jian's team.

No one knows how this process happened, it's as if it was just a matter of course.

At this time, Chen Jian and his companions had already driven the cat car forward. Xie Liu, who was slightly behind, suddenly rushed to the front. After saying "take care" to everyone, he quickly left the road, went deep into the jungle and sneaked into the depths of Anqing City.

Chen Jian looked in the direction where she disappeared, and then immediately turned his gaze to the back.

The convoy headed westward at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

Half a minute later, the convoy arrived at the turning point. The drone hovered at the turning point to provide alert and continued to move forward along the set route after the convoy turned.

With only the last kilometer left to the target assembly point, Chen Jian's heartbeat began to accelerate.

Adrenaline is pumping like crazy as we prepare for the upcoming battle.

The weapon racks on the exoskeleton were not deployed to avoid encroaching on other people's shooting space.

But Chen Jian had already adjusted the power mode to combat status, ready to jump out of the car and open fire at any time.

The hum of the engine seemed a bit harsh in the quiet ruins, but fortunately the dense vegetation absorbed a lot of the sound waves, and their progress was not immediately noticed.

He Shuo kept reporting the drone's reconnaissance and analysis results, and just when the convoy reached the midpoint of the road, he suddenly warned:

"300 meters ahead, an abnormality was found in the jungle on the right side of the road."

"The bushes are moving. The thermal imaging can't see the target. I guess there's an enemy coming!"

"clear."

Chen Jian responded quickly and then ordered:
"The team turned to the right, entered the fork in the road, turned off the engine and hid." "The drone increased its altitude to avoid being exposed."

"Roger that!"

At the command, everyone acted quickly.

Twenty seconds later, the two cat cars turned off the engines and the drone rose to an altitude of 500 meters.

Just as a few people were quietly waiting for possible enemies to appear, vague heat signals appeared on the drone's screen.

"51012."

"12 enemies, no leader."

"600 meters from the target location, no other enemy traces found in the surrounding area."

He Shuo calmly reported the results of the investigation. Chen Jian thought for a moment, then decisively gave the order:

"Fight it!"

"We need to create a window of time for Ji Xing. Any delay may affect subsequent plans."

“It’s a distance of 600 meters, and we can reach it in two minutes.”

"Lei Jie, Li Shi, and Zeng Yi take the lead vehicle and pass quickly. We will stay behind to provide cover!"

"understand!"

As soon as the words fell, the two cat cars started at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jian jumped out of the car and unfolded the weapon rack.

At the same time, the enemy finally appeared on the opposite road.

Twelve blood-stained demons, each carrying what appeared to be "parts" of prey they had just killed, walked onto the main road and paraded through the streets.

Without any hesitation, Chen Jian pulled the trigger.

At the same time, Shen Yue, Xie Liu and He Shuo also opened fire at the same time.

"Boom!"

"Bang bang bang-"

A series of gunshots rang out, and 12 of the 4 demons fell instantly.

The remaining demons looked in astonishment at their companions who were pierced by bullets. For a moment, they seemed to not understand whether the blood gushing out of their bodies came from their own bodies or was stained by their prey.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was only 150 meters.

With the help of high-precision sights, Chen Jian quickly changed his target and continued to fire at the demon that had not yet fallen.

The team was very efficient. In just the moment when the other side was stunned, two more demons fell down.

But at this time, 5 seconds had passed since they launched the attack.

The terrifying demon in front finally reacted.

"Roar--"

A heart-wrenching scream was heard, and even the birds in the woods, which were not startled by the sound of the gunfire, took off into the air.

Chen Jian moved forward quickly, and the Demon Squad rushed towards him.

Zeng Yi and Li Shi on the lead vehicle took on the role of fire support. When the Terror Squad was less than 50 meters away from them, the two machine guns fired simultaneously. The enemy didn't even have time to react before they were beaten into pieces.

The terrifying power of a large-caliber heavy machine gun is beyond the imagination of a demon who does not truly understand "heavy weapons".

The 12 terrifying demons were cleared out in an instant, but after a roar that was obviously a warning, the surrounding bushes immediately became unstable.

"Abnormal heat source! Abnormal heat source!"

The drone, which had lowered its altitude again, continued to sound the alarm. Chen Jian gave the order again:

"Don't worry about the lead vehicle! Quickly head to the designated location and establish a position!"

"Xie Liu drives! Shen Yue and I will walk forward and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"understand!"

As the order was given, new demons began to appear in the bushes on both sides of the road.

Such an environment was originally extremely unfavorable to Chen Jian's team, because even if one demon launched an attack before being discovered, it would pose a huge threat to everyone in the team.

But fortunately, the demons wandering around the edge of the Anqing ruins are obviously not the "core members" of this super-large demon settlement.

They didn't have any decent weapons, let alone automatic weapons, there were not even many hot weapons!
Most of the horrors were holding deformed spears made of scrap steel, or knives picked up from somewhere.

The best long-range projectile weapons they used were single-shot rifles, and the worst were even javelins.

As for weapons like bows and arrows, which are extremely complex to use and require extremely high technical skills, they seem to have not been developed at all.

There was no way they could catch Chen Jian and his companions.

Because the moment they get close, they will be knocked down by accurately shot bullets.

In just two minutes, the car behind where Chen Jian was located fought and escaped, not only tying down dozens of demons, but also advancing to the vicinity of the target point.

At this time, Lei Jie's team had arrived at the designated location and began to establish a position.

Li Shi found a suitable position and unfolded the tripod of the 301 heavy machine, pointing it at the demon camp on the square on the other side of the lake.

Lei Jie and Zeng Yi each set up their automatic howitzers, ready to fire at any time.

"Lei Jie, fire two grenades behind us to stop the pursuers!"

He Shuo, who had already taken over the battlefield command, gave the order.

"understand!"

Lei Jie quickly turned the muzzle of the gun, and two grenades flew out with a "bang", and then landed accurately 50 meters behind Chen Jian's team.

"boom!"

"boom!"

A huge explosion was heard, and the pursuing demons were instantly frightened and fled into the jungle.

Although their bloodthirsty instincts soon drove them to continue the pursuit, at this time, Chen Jian and his companions had already driven the car to the assembly position and quickly prepared to meet the enemy.

"Carry out as planned!"

Chen Jian gave the order.

"understand!"

He Shuo quickly found the commanding heights, and after climbing up the outer wall to the platform, he immediately gave the order:
"The enemy is gathering in the target camp, and the shooting conditions are good."

"Li Shi, aim at the target and shoot from the front!"

"Lei Jie Zeng Yi, rapid fire coverage!"

"The rest of the personnel follow the planned tactics!"

"understand!"

There was a reply, and then it was covered by heavy gunfire.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

The heavy machine gun spewed out flames and the automatic howitzers also began to show their power.

Explosions continued to sound, and this battle, which was aimed at reconnaissance, escalated to an unprecedented intensity the moment the firing began!
