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

Chapter 81 Change of plan
At 10 o'clock in the evening, in Yellowstone City, inside the lobby of the Mechanicus, Chen Jian and two other people had just finished treating the wounds of all the wounded.

They won the counter-raid, but at a heavy cost.

Three of the already small number of city defense team members were unfortunately killed by the knives of the Holy Blooders who rushed into the bunker, and two were hit by bullets fired by the Mechanicus miners and were seriously injured.

In addition, among the total of 62 combatants, 5 were slightly injured. Given their lack of professional training, they were simply unable to participate in the next stage of combat operations.

In other words, the number of available fighters at Chen Jian's disposal was only 52.

This is definitely not good news.

But there is some good news.

The weapons that Lei Jie brought back were enough to arm all the fighters.

After experiencing the baptism of a fierce battle, Chen Jian believed that these people deserved better weapons.

As a result, a large number of Type 191 rifles and two Type 201 machine guns were quickly distributed to all combat personnel. After a brief explanation and training, everyone who got the gun learned how to aim and fire easily.

How do you say that?

A group of peasants armed with muskets could easily defeat a group of well-trained heavily armored knights.

That was the era of muzzle-loaders, where gun operation was extremely complicated.

Modern firearms are simpler. You just need to change the magazine, aim, pull the trigger, and then wait quietly for the enemy to be hit and fall to the ground. That's enough.

The originally low morale was quickly boosted by this batch of new weapons, and many people even forgot the brutality of the battle that had just taken place.

They couldn't wait to do something, and couldn't wait to use bullets to vent the depression and anger in their hearts.

But Chen Jian stopped all irrational behavior.

He knew that the outcome of this battle was not actually in Yellowstone City.

The kite that is released far away is the key to victory.

Standing in the temporary command center, Chen Jian looked at the map displayed on the PDA and said:
"Lejie's operation is going smoothly. He is currently 15 kilometers away from us. According to his estimate, he will reach the designated drop-off point in eight hours."

"The nuclear device will follow the water flow to the vicinity of Yuqingzhou in the next nine hours plus or minus one hour."

"It's the dry season now, and the river here is only 700 meters wide. No matter where the device explodes, the comprehensive killing range is enough to cover an area of about one kilometer deep on both sides of the river."

"That is to say, the only thing we need to ensure is that the device explodes near Yuqingzhou."

“It’s almost no difficulty.”

"But that assumes the enemy is still there when the explosion occurs."

After Chen Jian finished speaking, He Shuo nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

"That is to say, we must ensure that the enemy does not launch a general attack before 14: tomorrow afternoon."

"Is this possible?"

"I think that's unlikely."

Shen Yue tapped the metal tabletop subconsciously, his eyes moving, and the information recorded in the PDA instantly flowed to the smart eyepieces of the other three people.

"According to drone reconnaissance, a reinforcement force has arrived from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River near Jiujiang. There are two steamships in total, with about 300 combatants."

"Adding the two enemy forces from the Xianning direction and the Han River direction, the total number of enemies has reached nearly 2000."

"Surround them with ten and attack them with five. Even if the enemy is cautious, we should try to launch a real attack."

"uncertain."

Chen Jian waved his hand and then said:

"It's true that they have 500 people, but you have to know that among these people, at least are artillery priests who specialize in operating artillery, and there are also a large number of mechanics, priests and other inexplicable clergy."

"That is to say, they have less than a thousand infantrymen who can actually conduct close-quarters combat."

"And in the first two rounds of attack, they have already figured out the defensive strength of Yellowstone City."

"If it were you, would you use these 1,000 people to try to attack Yellowstone City?"

".I don't know how to call in."

"Yeah, you can't get in."

Chen Jian spread his hands and said:
"It's not that I'm overconfident, this is the truth." "Both the Skitarii and the Holy Blooders are too vulnerable to the dense automatic firepower. Blindly attacking will only cause unnecessary losses."

"Their current artillery fire poses little threat to us. If we want to truly suppress them, we must mobilize more large-caliber artillery."

"And now, the number of artillery they can mobilize is obviously not enough."

“So, they will continue to wait.”

"But we don't know exactly when."

When Chen Jian finished speaking, Shen Yue frowned and said:

“I don’t think it will take long.”

"These crazy people of the Mechanicus are not the brainless villains in TV dramas who will come to deliver food to us one by one like the gourd dolls saving their grandfather."

“They will definitely give it their all.”

"If they need artillery, they will most likely transfer it from the big cities they control."

"We know the speed of steamships. The average speed is about 12 knots, and the maximum speed is estimated to be 15 knots."

"The total length of the waterway from here to Jinling City is 400 kilometers. Considering that the enemy's mobilization capability is not low, it is possible that the artillery or warships from Jinling City will reach Yuqingzhou within 30 hours."

"If you calculate it this way, they will receive new reinforcements around 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"It will take a few more hours from deployment to deployment. I'm afraid they will launch a general attack before 14:."

"Once they start attacking, who can our nuclear bombs hit?"

"Unless someone rushes into the crowd with a bullet, this is the last resort."

"The main problem is the time difference. Reggie was slow."

After Shen Yue finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

After a moment, He Shuo said:
"We can't speed up the flow of the Yangtze River, so there is only one way."

“Let them go to a closer location to deliver.”

"impossible."

Chen Jian let out a long breath, and then said:
"If they could deliver it closer, they wouldn't have to go so far in the first place."

"You yourself ran into the Holy Blood, which means they must have a lot of reconnaissance forces deployed upstream."

"That's an important supply line. They know how to fight. How could they leave it empty?"

"Especially since Lei Jie is going to release the materials close to the river, it will be difficult for them to escape if they are discovered."

"Even if we can get away, even if we can win, we will lose the opportunity to launch the attack after being targeted. This is the key point."

“So we have to create opportunities for them.”

He Shuo said firmly:
"After being surrounded for so long, it's time to take the initiative."

"There are Holy Blood over there, and there are Holy Blood near us, too. What if all the Holy Blood near us are dead?"

Chen Jian immediately understood what He Shuo meant.

That’s right, the enemy’s main reconnaissance force is the Holy Blood scattered at various key points.

The number of people who can obtain holy blood is limited.

If his team can kill a group of them, then the upstream will inevitably expose a huge gap as the strength of the team decreases.

“You can do it!”

Chen Jian nodded heavily, and then said:
"The timing is perfect. They know that night is our home ground, so they will definitely not organize a large-scale attack."

"Let's take this opportunity to go out hunting!"

"understand!"

At the command, everyone took action.

At this time, on Yu Qingzhou's ship, Xu Lie, who thought he had seen through these "chosen ones", did not know that with the help of modern intelligence analysis technology, his enemies had already walked ahead of him.
