Chapter 66: The Armored Giant

Chen Jian and He Shuo ran out of the inn. In the lobby, the boss behind the counter subconsciously wanted to look for a weapon under the counter, but was knocked down by Chen Jian who was passing by.

At this time, all the camouflage on the two men had been removed, and the weapon rack on the back of Chen Jian's mechanical exoskeleton revealed an extremely ferocious aura. In combat mode, when he ran quickly, the dust stirred up on the ground seemed to announce the arrival of a war monster.

The two separated in front of the inn entrance. He Shuo was responsible for going forward to seize the assault point, while Chen Jian provided cover in the rear with 191 in his hand.

The selector was adjusted to single-shot mode, and with the help of drones and anti-sniper radars, each of his bullets was accurately fired at the city defense team defenders who had already raised their guns or were about to raise their guns.

"Bang! Bang!"

"boom!"

After three consecutive shots, the defenders on the street scattered and fled away from him.

At the same time, continuous gunfire was heard from Xie Liu and Zeng Yi. They were using the 191 rifle they had just learned to use to clear out the gathered city defense troops.

"Thank you Liu Zengyi! Take the initiative to expand the combat range!"

"The city defense team's fighting spirit is lower than expected! Don't pursue killing, focus on deterrence!"

"understand!"

The electromagnetic shielding has been lifted, and Zeng Yi's slightly vague reply came over the radio.

The moment his voice was heard, Chen Jian heard the sound of gunfire from a 301 heavy machine gun from behind.

"Bang Bang Bang——"

Bullets flew across the sky, and a cloud of dust rose from the edge of the residential area nearly 600 meters away from the two men. Then, Lei Jie started to report:

"Mortar rapid fire complete!"

"20 seconds left to the explosion, the expected landing point has been marked!"

"understand!"

Chen Jian opened his mouth to answer. At the same time, the 3D map on the tactical eyepiece quickly unfolded, and two parallel dotted lines that were obviously hand-drawn flashed by.

Marked there is the location where the 12 mortar shells will land.

The explosion of the mortar shell will open a passage for Chen Jian and He Shuo to reach the fortress of the Mechanicus Cathedral.

Not giving any chance for counterattack, this is Chen Jian’s requirement and also what they are doing.

"Distance 300 meters, close to 15 meters in 200 seconds!"

Chen Jian gave the order again, and He Shuo moved quickly with the 201 machine gun in his hand in the most standard battlefield maneuvering posture. Chen Jian held his gun and moved forward steadily, lagging behind He Shuo about 50 meters to provide cover.

15 seconds later, He Shuo arrived at the designated position, fell to the ground, unfolded the tripod, aimed at a crusader outside the church who reacted and tried to fight back and opened fire.

At the moment the gunshots rang out, the mortar shells that had been fired long ago finally fell.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Two lines of fire extended forward, and several crusaders who had just been organized were thrown to the ground in an instant.

Chen Jian did not stop and used 191 to continuously call out the exposed Crusaders. Within a few extremely short seconds, four Crusaders had already fallen.

He always kept a distance of about 50 meters from the landing point of the mortar, and after the last mortar exploded, the first shell fired by the automatic grenade also landed meters in front of him.

What is infantry-artillery coordination?

Infantry-artillery coordination does not mean that the infantry charges forward after the artillery bombards. In the most ideal state, the infantry-artillery coordination should be that the infantry rushes into the trenches with the aftermath of the vibration just as the shock wave of the artillery shell dissipates!

No army in the world can do this.

But there is indeed an army that can compress the safe distance of infantry and artillery coordination to the limit.

A certain unit called the "Long Live Army" could even advance its infantry to a distance of 155 meters from the point where the shells landed under the cover of mixed artillery fire of 150, 105, and 150 calibers.

If small-caliber mortars are used for cover, the distance may be shortened to 50 meters.

Just like what Chen Jian is doing now.

Even professionally trained soldiers could not withstand such an impact, not to mention that Chen Jian was facing a group of fanatics who were armed with modern weapons but still held absurd religious beliefs.

Under the continuous fire output of the 201 aircraft, even those Crusader Army soldiers who were lucky enough not to be suppressed by the artillery shells had no chance of escape.

The highly penetrating 7.62mm bullets accurately hit their torsos, piercing through the heavy armor they were wearing before splitting into sharp shrapnel that continued to tear apart their muscles and bones.

The remaining fighters of the Third Crusader Army realized the seriousness of the problem, and all the remaining personnel who were still able to move retreated into the church fortress.

At the same time, new information came from Zeng Yi.

"Someone sent out the fireworks signal!"

"The second squadron of the Skitarii is heading towards your rear! The distance is about 300 meters!"

"Li Shi! Intercept with fire!"

Chen Jian immediately gave the order, and after the 301 heavy machine gun was briefly silenced, the bullets flew in the direction of the Second Squadron of the Crusaders.

At a distance of 1500 meters, even with the help of sights, even for a well-trained professional heavy machine gunner, it is actually very difficult to hit a person.

What's more, Li Shi actually didn't understand the characteristics of this gun at all. All he could do was to aim the crosshairs at the target as best as possible, and then use all his strength to hold down the gun and pull the trigger.

It's normal to miss the target, but if you hit the target, that would be strange.
-
But it doesn’t really matter.

His role is to suppress and deter.

The deterrent power of a 12.7mm caliber bullet is far beyond the limit that normal humans can withstand. When you see a bullet completely tearing an entire wall apart, even if the wall is dozens of meters away from you, you will subconsciously slow down your pace, lower your body and dodge.

The Second Team of the Crusaders who wanted to rush back to provide support were intercepted instantly. During these few seconds, the last explosion of the automatic grenade ended, and Chen Jian had advanced to within 60 meters of the church fortress.

There were no more opponents around him, only a heavy steel door.

"Load the rocket launcher with assault rounds!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

Shen Yue and Lei Jie replied at the same time. At the same time, the weapon rack on Chen Jian's exoskeleton unfolded.

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Three explosions sounded in succession, and a huge crater appeared on the outer wall of the church. The iron gate, which was hit head-on by two assault bombs, collapsed into pieces in the explosion.

The door is open.

Chen Jian continued to give orders:
"Thunder!"

"Understood!" He Shuo, who followed the advance, pulled the pull rings of two thermobaric grenades while running, and almost at the same time as Chen Jian, threw the grenades into the church through the door.

There was a loud bang and thick smoke rose in the church, but their suppressive fire was far from stopping.

After calibration, Lei Jie has deployed the sniper grenade.

Three consecutive grenades were accurately fired into the church. The shock waves of the explosive bombs caused the dust on the outer wall to fly down, and the church was filled with smoke, making it almost impossible to see inside.

"Turn on thermal imaging, prepare to enter!"

"understand!"

He Shuo and Chen Jian both pulled down their night vision goggles at the same time. From the thermal fusion perspective, the smoke became their best cover.
-
That’s right, in the absence of smoke bombs, explosive bombs can barely be used.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, scanned the most dangerous corner of the wall. After each of them fired and knocked down three enemies, they kept moving the muzzle of the gun and continued to call out the moving targets.

There were at least 15 enemies in the church, but after a round of bombing, only four or five of them were able to stand up and move.

And these four or five crusaders were killed by the guns in an instant.

"Refill the gun!"

Chen Jian gave the order again.

Intermittent gunshots rang out, and in less than 20 seconds, there was no living creature left here.

At this time, Zeng Yi's voice came from Chen Jian's headphones.

"Have you entered?"

"The city defense troops are scattered. Xie Liu and I will go intercept the second team of the Guardian Army!"

"There's a crypt in the church! Under the Trinity altar!"

"The priest should be inside. That's his penance cell!"

"understand!"

Chen Jian made a gesture to He Shuo, and after a brief search, the two of them indeed found the meditation room where the door had not even been closed in time.

"Capture him alive or kill him?"

He Shuo asked.

"Try to catch them alive first."

After that, he fired a round of faith shots at the basement with his gun, and then shouted a warning:
"Come out now or I'll blow you to death!"

There was silence in the ascetic room for a moment, and then a hoarse voice was heard.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

A priest wearing the black and gold cloak of the Mechanicus walked out of the basement. Chen Jian took a few steps back and fired mercilessly with the 191 in his hand, hitting the priest's knee.

Next, his two arms.

He Shuo looked at him in surprise and asked:
"Didn't you say you wanted to live?"

"If he lives for 5 minutes, he's still alive. Let's remove his ability to move first. His clothes look very dangerous."

"Makes sense."

He Shao decisively shot the priest in the other leg, and after making sure that he had no ability to move, he stepped forward to drag him out and tore off his cloak.

And under the priest's cloak, there was actually a bundle of cylindrical explosives.

"Tear it down and wake him up!"

"understand!"

He Shuo quickly dismantled the explosives and then punched the mechanical priest in the liver.

The priest, who had fainted due to severe pain and fear, woke up again because of the pain. Chen Jian did not waste time and asked directly:
"What happened in Yellowstone? Where are the people here?"

The priest had a painful expression on his face, but he still smiled mockingly and said:

"Heretics, you are heretics."

"Heretics are destined to be destroyed! The divine light of Trinity is destined to melt you completely!"

"Howl, heretics!"

"The Holy Statue of Trinity is about to crush your tiny bodies!"

Chen Jian pointed a gun at the priest's head, but at this moment, Lei Jie's voice came from the headset again.

"There's a monster approaching quickly from the north!"

"It should be the one at the Huangzhou ruins!"

"Shit, it's wearing metal armor!"

"There's someone on my back!"

Chen Jian's heart tightened as the drone's image flowed to the smart eyepiece.

In the picture, a huge four-legged monster was running wildly towards Yellowstone City.

Wherever it passed, smoke and dust rose, and on its back, there was even a ball of fire rising.

Someone sprinkled hot sparks on its head to control its direction.

This is "Mongolia".

And it is obvious that those people on his back are the "slaves" of the Mechanicus!
blasphemy.

What a blasphemy this is.

The mighty Mechanicus is actually associating with aliens!

Chen Jian has already guessed what these Mechanicus did in Yellowstone City.

Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger of 191.

"boom!"

The priest's head exploded, and Chen Jian said:
"They are all scoundrels."

"Everyone, get ready, quickly eliminate the remaining enemies, and then intercept the monster outside Yellowstone City!"
