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

Chapter 77 Siege
"Set off fireworks and send a signal to have all the scouts out there withdraw!"

After Huang Yu finished speaking, Chen Jian decisively ordered:
"He Shuo, bring Zeng Yi back quickly, the two of you don't take any risks!"

"Xie Liu, go forward to support the scouts. If you encounter an enemy, don't get entangled. Try to bring everyone back!"

"Lei Jie and Shen Yue, the two of you will operate the automatic howitzer and the heavy machine gun respectively, and be ready to meet the enemy."

"Li Shi is operating the 301 heavy machine, just like you did last time!"

"Huang Yu, gather the city defense team and strengthen the defense line!"

"understand!"

"understand!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone rushed out and ran to their own posts.

Chen Jian released the drone and moved forward according to the instructions of the returning reconnaissance personnel, hovering over the S78 highway on the southwest side of Huangshi City, monitoring the enemy's movements in real time.

Through the blurry images sent back by the drone, he was surprised to find that an enemy advance team had actually approached to within 15 kilometers of Yellowstone City!
There are not many people, only a few dozen.

But it is conceivable that these dozens of people must have organized themselves as soon as they received the news and rushed straight from Xianning at the speed of a forced march!
The enemy's determination was stronger than I expected.

They might not have been frightened by the mimic heretics, but simply been stunned.

So much so that more than a hundred years had passed, and just as the slightest sign was discovered, the entire old order gang was already in a state of panic.

Judging from their equipment, these dozens of people are still members of the Mechanicus. The Holy Blood Ones encountered by the Yellowstone City scouts should be even closer.

Fortunately, Yellowstone City has a unique geographical location, with an entire Dazhi Lake as a barrier, which almost eliminates the risk of the Holy Blood people sneaking in.

If I had really chosen to drive "Mongolia" to the 7025 ruins, I might have been crushed to death there by now.

lucky!

The good advice of losing land but saving people is really applicable everywhere.
Chen Jian did not dare to delay. He urged He Shuo to return as soon as possible to replenish the already insufficient number of weapons operators. At the same time, he grabbed the weapons neatly stacked in the church and hung them on the racks in an orderly manner.

3 rocket launchers, a recoilless rifle, and a 201 aircraft hung on the No. 1 rack with a laser aiming system. He held another 201 in his left hand, a PBP201 mortar in his right hand, and a 191 hung around his neck.

Now he really has become a human arsenal.

However, it was absolutely impossible to fight in this state, and he just wanted to move the weapons to the designated combat site as quickly as possible.

With the mechanical exoskeleton running at full power, his movements did not slow down much.

Two minutes later, he unloaded most of the weapons behind the bunker, set up the tripod of the 201 aircraft, and with his other hand operated the drone to lower its altitude to prepare for a round of low-altitude reconnaissance, in order to first find the Holy Blood Ones hiding in the woods.
-
But at the moment the drone was descending, the drone's active survival system suddenly issued an alarm.

Immediately afterwards, before Chen Jian could react, the drone quickly pulled up and made a large-scale evasive maneuver.

The next moment, gunshots were heard and Chen Jian also saw flames coming out of the woods.

Holy Blood!
They knew to shoot down the drone first!

徐猎
I really shouldn't have let him go back.

Now, he has been given the job of a staff officer!
He must have played an important role in this encirclement and suppression. It is even possible that he was the one who proposed the strategy of using water ghosts to consume one's own ammunition.

Damn.

But anything we say now is hindsight. Under the circumstances at that time, who could have predicted the consequences of letting him go back?
There was no way to make a decision. If he was killed on the spot, Xie Liu and the other two would not be able to join the team.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Letting him go was the best option at the time.

But if I have the chance to catch him, I must not let him go a second time!
Chen Jian has raised the drone again to maintain a safe distance for surveillance. At this time, other residents of Huangshi City have also taken action.

Most of them had not slept all night, and their energy and physical strength were exhausted to the limit, but they also knew what the upcoming battle meant to them.

No one wants to back down, and that's the significance of the first round of screening.

The elderly and frail pregnant women who were unable to take part in the battle were busy preparing food, and they sent children who had just learned to walk to deliver the food to the people lying in the shelters.

Chen Jian did not stop this seemingly dangerous behavior, but only informed Huang Yu to prepare for battle after breakfast, and non-combatants to hide in the basement of the Mechanical Church. Time passed by, and the few Holy Bloods that the drone was staring at were less than 1 kilometer away from the shore of Dazhi Lake. Just before they were about to catch up with the Huangshi City scouts, Xie Liu finally led everyone back to the island.

At the same time, He Shao also drove back at lightning speed with Zeng Yi.

Both of them were covered in blood. Chen Jian threw the Flight 201 in his hand to Zeng Yi and asked:
"What's going on? Is there a fight?"

"We encountered two groups of Holy Bloods, killed three and let three escape."

He Shuo took a breath and then said:

"It's a damn good thing I brought Zeng Yi with me. If it weren't for him, I would probably have died there."

"The Holy Blood is too powerful in close combat, the gun can't keep up at all!"

"We must not let them get close. Damn it, sooner or later Lei Jie will have to make a close-in defense gun and teach them a lesson."

Having said this, He Shuo paused, then got to the point:
"All the enemies coming from Hanshui City in the north came by boat. Lei Jie must have missed them when he returned."

"It is estimated that this enemy force should have arrived near Yuqing Prefecture, but we don't know whether they will land in Yuqing Prefecture or take the water route from Shangqipan Prefecture to Dazhi Lake."

"We have to use mortars to shoot them down first. If we let them deploy smoothly, it will be difficult to deal with them!"

"That's assuming we still have enough mortar shells - we only have 26."

Chen Jian said in a deep voice:

"Pull out the two cannons in the Mechanicus Cathedral as well."

"Will it work? I've seen those two cannons, and the weight of their projectiles is only about 5 kilograms, which is roughly the same level as the Napoleon Cannon, but their range and power are probably not as good as the Napoleon Cannon, and it's hard to even fire more than two kilometers."

"Move out first, Zeng Yi, you go."

"He Shuo, you stay and help me deploy the mortars."

"There is a small group of enemies in the southwest Xianning direction, with a number of about 40 people, about 3 kilometers away."

"Since they dare to come, let's give them a surprise and let them know who we are!"

"understand!"

He Shuo took action immediately, and a moment later, two PBP201 mortars were deployed.

After the drone guided the distance measurement, the two men adjusted the artillery parameters with the help of the optoelectronic aiming system.

Then, a double salvo fired!
"boom!"

"boom!"

30 seconds later, the shell fell accurately.

"boom!"

"boom!"

From the drone's perspective, a squad of Mechanicus Crusaders that was advancing rapidly along the highway were thrown into disarray.

At the same time, several vague artillery sounds suddenly came from the direction of Yuqingzhou, nearly 4 kilometers away.

"puff!"

The black shells fell into Dazhi Lake, splashing several huge water splashes.

Chen Jian's eyes fixed, and he said:
"Large caliber smoothbore cannon!"

"They really spent a lot of money!"

"Everyone, take cover and prepare for the impact!"
