Chapter 250 Young Soldiers Eager to Establish Merit

【go ahead! 】

Following the squad leader's signal, two light tanks emerged from the Type 726A hovercraft and moved forward. Marines armed with Type 191 assault rifles immediately joined forces with the Type 15 light tanks to form an infantry-tank coordination unit and probe deeper into Guam.

When facing alien civilizations, although the 105mm rifled gun of the Type 15 tank is not as effective as rapid-fire weapons, its thick armor and external anti-beam coating provide strong resistance to alien lasers, unlike the fragile armor of infantry fighting vehicles, which can be easily burned through by high-energy lasers.

All the shells fired by the 105mm rifled cannon can effectively annihilate the alien civilization's land combat units, and the sense of security that tanks can provide to soldiers is something that weak infantry fighting vehicles cannot provide.

The six pairs of road wheels of the Type 15 light tank turned slowly, the tracks churned up sand from the beach, and the turret slowly pointed towards any threatening area.

Ahead of this platoon, Lynx unmanned assault vehicles and robotic dogs are exploring outwards. According to US intelligence, a small number of lobsters and a large number of giant lice are entrenched in this area. Although naval aircraft and warships have bombarded the target area, ground units will eventually be needed to sweep it up.

In the area riddled with bullet holes, shattered seafood lay evenly on the ground, some of the debris still steaming. The robotic dog trotted into the area, its head scanning the soldiers, using optical sensors to scan the battlefield, giving a second glance to anything with a heat source.

The drone moved forward, its large wheels crushing the alien seafood, leaving some residue on its tracks.

A lobster with half its body shattered but still somewhat alive wandered the battlefield. When it saw the unmanned vehicle, it tried to raise its weapon. The Lynx unmanned vehicle immediately detected the still-alive lobster, and the 40mm caseless ammunition system on the upper part of the vehicle rotated, locking onto the lobster through the electro-optical system.

The primer was activated, and the 40mm caseless ammunition system fired with a bang, instantly shattering the lobster's body. Only the steaming lower half lay on the ground, the spent cartridge case ejected, and the next caseless ammunition was loaded into the breech and fired at the lobster's lower half again, until the lobster was completely unresponsive, at which point the attack ceased.

The optoelectronic system searched for new targets again, and the unmanned attack aircraft continued to explore forward, creating enough safe landing zone. Meanwhile, two Type 15 light tanks drove off the beach and onto the coastal road. A buzzing sound came from the sky as four Z-8 helicopters carrying rocket pods flew over the Marine Corps and headed towards the interior of Guam.

The pilot stared intently at the ground, searching for any alien lobsters that might still be alive. Since they were already there, they figured they should at least fire a few rockets, but randomly striking the ground would be a waste of ammunition.

Soon, the pilots of the Z-8 helicopter spotted a large group of unsteady figures appearing in their field of vision.

"Cyborgs?"

Regarding these cyborgs, the University of Tokyo had an internal report. They had considered the possibility of such things existing on Guam before the operation, but when they saw them with their own eyes, they still felt that it was a bit outrageous. It seems that the US military only protected the area around the military base and did not care about the areas further away. What were they protecting?
But since we're already here, it's a big no-no to land with missiles on and not launch them. So we'll just have to give these cyborgs a big rocket booster.

Swish swish!
The rocket engines ignited, and rockets launched one after another. Folded wings extended, and the inertial-guided rockets whizzed forward. After firing all their rockets, the pilots, regardless of whether they hit their targets, flew towards the taking-off ship. If they could reload quickly, they could launch another salvo upon their return. It's 2026 now; the younger generation has become the mainstay of the navy. These young soldiers are eager to earn honors, and even if they can't, they should at least fire a few missiles, shells, and rockets—that way they'll have something to brag about back home.

After the helicopter left, the robot dog made contact with the cyborgs and began firing at the remaining cyborgs with the rifle mounted on its back. At that moment, a high-speed spinning 105mm high-explosive round was fired into the group of cyborgs.

The projectile carries enormous kinetic energy. Even before it makes contact with a human body, the shockwave generated by the projectile easily tears the body apart. After tearing a bloody path through the cyborgs, the fuse is triggered, and the nearest cyborgs are instantly blown into a bloody mist.

Shrapnel flew everywhere like a torrential rain, mercilessly tearing people's flesh and blood apart. Blood gushed out and bodies shattered wherever it went.

After clearing a large area, the shell casings were ejected, and the automatic loader loaded the next high-explosive fragmentation shell into the breech. The commander observed the surrounding situation and was just about to order the gunner to fire when he discovered that these mediocre cyborgs had been almost completely wiped out by the drones.

Seeing the small groups of cyborgs, the tank commander abandoned the idea of ​​firing. Using high-explosive rounds to hit single low-value targets would be a waste, so he used the 12.7mm weapon station to pick them off one by one.

As the military continued to sweep away alien bio-weapons and cyborgs on Guam, the commander in charge frowned, wondering where these cyborgs came from.
Meanwhile, at the military base pier in Guam, a 100,000-ton cargo ship belonging to the University of Tokyo docked. The loading and unloading system transferred containers from the ship to the pier. The interior of the ship was filled with goods transported by the University of Tokyo. This system is known as the container missile launch system.

Inside the military base, a colonel was handing over duties to a US military commander. The colonel, who was taking over, had wide, piercing eyes, radiating murderous intent, and spoke with absolute confidence:
"On behalf of the Eastern Army, I am taking over Guam. You can step down! We'll take over! Safe travels!"

After saying this, the colonel and the commander shook hands, took a step back and saluted each other, and the handover ceremony ended. The Stars and Stripes representing the United States was lowered, and the flag bearer stepped forward to raise the flag representing the University of Tokyo. At this moment, it also meant that Guam was officially taken over by the University of Tokyo, and the defense was transferred to the University of Tokyo, including the cyborgs and biological weapons that had not yet been dealt with.

After the rotation, the soldiers boarded the prepared ships and fled Guam as if they were escaping. This made the colonel who took over the command frown. It was as if the US military had not explained something to them.

"Immediately increase security around the base, review surveillance footage, and deploy new security systems! Prohibit anyone from drinking unsterilized water! Everyone will eat the food we brought!"

"Yes! Understood!"

After saying this, a regiment of troops quickly took over the military base. Dongda remained silent as he watched the American security system, which hadn't been upgraded for who knows how many years, and simply continued to deploy new security systems.

As the troop transport ship, filled with American soldiers, slowly sailed away from Guam, escorted by a Type 054A frigate, some "bananas" (people of Asian descent who are Westernized and Westernized) held banners and cried more miserably than if their own mothers had died.
