Why would I join the army if I can’t drive a Gundam!

Chapter 4 Exercise (IV)

"Calling Red Dragon Two, how are our lower horses being prepared?"

"No problem, we are ready!"

"Where's the blue team's inferior horse?"

"We are heading in the direction of 036, and we are advancing side by side with you!"

Less than ten kilometers ahead of Red Dragon No. 1, the other three tanks of the Red Dragon team had already entered combat positions in ambush formation. Because they had ample preparation time, these vehicles even laid camouflage nets outside the ambush positions. This camouflage net can greatly reduce the infrared characteristics, and it looks no different from bushes from a distance. In order to accomplish this, the members of the Red Dragon team put in a lot of effort.

"Captain, I see you!"

"Then I'll leave what's behind me to you!"

Red Dragon No. 036 quickly passed through the ambush position, and then turned to the direction of without stopping. This was the Tian Ji horse racing tactic he had planned. It was a bit difficult for him to fight against eight enemies rushing towards him alone, so he left the enemies in front to his teammates. With three against eight, they also had cover, and the opponent would not be able to take them down in a short time.

As for Macharius, the superior horse, he took the initiative to attack and launched an active assault on the enemy's isolated flanking team. One against four is much easier than one against eight!

"Type 61, 12 o'clock direction, distance meters!"

"Destroy, next one!"

The Lightning team, which was encircling the opponent, did not expect that the opponent would take the initiative to attack, and the one who came was a monster who seemed to have cheats.

The captain's vehicle, which was still advancing in a marching formation, was the first to be destroyed. It had no time to react. Less than two seconds after the laser warning sounded, the artillery shell flew over.

"team leader?"

"Captain? What should we do?"

Listening to the slightly panicked shouts of the rest of the team on the communication channel, the captain of Team Lightning pressed the transmitter helplessly and said.

"I'm dead, you guys figure it out on your own!"

Then, the captain of the Lightning Team regretted his decision. He never dreamed that the three tank commanders under his command were all reckless men!
"Avenge the captain, brothers, charge!"

After hearing the captain's helpless answer, the three tank commanders immediately became excited and formed a charge without saying a word.

"These pigs!"

The captain held his forehead and sighed, and then the arrows representing the three teammates on the electronic map disappeared one by one.

"Sorry, Captain, we're all dead!"

Afterwards, the team members' apologies were heard in the channel.

"It doesn't matter. Victory and defeat are common in the military. Next time we team up with the Red Dragon Team and we'll win!"

What else could the captain say? He couldn't let these reckless men run back to the camp, so he could only say some comforting words.

"As expected of you, Captain!"

The subordinates were all amazed at the captain's amazing wisdom.

But on the other side, the blond handsome guy was not so happy!

"Team Flash is finished! We're the only ones left!"

"It's okay. If we eat the rest of the Red Dragon team, it will still be considered a victory!"

The ambush by the Red Dragon team was considered a success. They exchanged three vehicles of the Blue team for the loss of two vehicles. Now, the power comparison between the two sides is five to two. At this moment, there is only one Red Dragon No. 3 left, which is moving madly in an irregular route and fleeing frantically under the volley of fire from the Blue team.

"Kill him, kill him!"

The blue team's communication channel was already in chaos at this moment. Five tanks were lined up in a row, trying to kill the fleeing guy as quickly as possible, but they obviously could not use super-precise artillery like Macharius to hit a tank running at 60 kilometers per hour from more than four kilometers away. The marking bullets they fired were either too far away or off target.

"Hurry, hurry, open fire! Red Dragon One will be here any minute!"

With the blue team commander's urgent urging again, the tank he was in finally made progress. The marking bullet exploded on the side of the enemy tank, and blue paint splashed onto the tracks of Red Dragon No. 3.

In a real combat scenario, the Red Dragon III's tracks would likely have been damaged by this attack, forcing the vehicle to a halt. However, this was a drill, and the sensors hadn't detected a malfunction. Therefore, the Red Dragon III showed no signs of stopping. This, however, gave the blond man considerable encouragement. "Just one more hit!"

His eyes were fixed on the electronic screen until the buzzer sounded, and then he pressed the gun button.

The shell flew out of the barrel, drew a curve in the air at a seemingly very slow speed, and then landed on the turret of Red Dragon No. 3.

"Okay, I won!"

"boom!"

Before the smile on the blond handsome guy's face faded, the electronic screen in front of him suddenly dimmed, and then a large destruction warning appeared on the screen.

"That rascal"

He just pressed the transmitter subconsciously, but suddenly remembered that he was dead. He could only sigh helplessly and then speak to the driver through the in-car channel.

"It's over, we're ready to pay!"

"No, I was planning on taking my girlfriend to Von Braun over the holidays! I've already paid the deposit for the engagement ring!"

The driver banged his head in despair. Although the allowances of these third-year armored cadets were not as high as those of active-duty soldiers, they still received two thousand hites per month. During field training and exercises, they also received additional subsidies. The accumulated allowances for half a year amounted to a considerable amount of savings. After all, the ticket price for an ordinary spacecraft was only about five hundred hites.

After the commander was destroyed, the remaining four Blue Type 61 tanks reacted quickly and began to fight against the Red Dragon No. coming from their nine o'clock direction, but the latter launched another round of accurate salvos at a distance of four thousand meters, killing another tank and telling the remaining people how the genius boy fought.

"He's too fast, I can't lock on!"

"Switch to manual operation!"

"No, he's firing again! Get out of the way!"

"John's been destroyed! It's just the two of us!"

"Spread out, spread out!"

The drivers of the two Type 61 tanks wanted to get out of their vehicles and run with their tanks. They tried hard to evade the enemy by maneuvering, but the red tank with a flaming red dragon painted on its turret was still able to track their direction steadily.

When the Type 61 on the right ran for more than ten seconds and rushed into a low ground, the commander felt that he was safe and ready to start a counterattack, but then he found that Red Dragon No. was actually maneuvering while watching him closely. When he was commanding the tank to just show its little head from behind the hillside, the marking bullet hit it and rubbed the top of the turret hard, leaving a long blue mark.

"wreck!"

"Very good, Yudin, that's it. Move left for five seconds, then fake a move to the right and then turn to the 12 o'clock direction!"

Under Macharius's instructions, Yudin always managed to dodge the attack of the last blue tank with extremely strange maneuvers while driving the tank, and then continued to close the distance between the two sides.

"Damn it, why didn't it hit!"

Several rounds of sure-fire attacks failed, putting great pressure on the blue team's captain. He tried to steady his breathing and kept telling himself that the closer the distance, the more difficult it would be for the opponent to dodge with that strange posture, but the beads of sweat that kept dripping still showed that he had little confidence in attacking the opponent.

Seeing that Red Dragon No. 1 had entered the 2,000-meter range, and being certain that it would not miss this time, he waited for the buzzer to sound and then pressed the gun button. However, what the commander did not expect was that a big pit suddenly appeared in front of Red Dragon No. 1, which was about to be hit. The enemy tank jumped directly into the pit and avoided this round of attack.

"Did you calculate this too?"

The captain gritted his teeth and ordered the driver to move forward because he could not see the red dragon in the lowland. However, even after driving forward for a full thousand meters, he still did not see any trace of the other party.

"Moved? To the left or to the right?"

The driver kept turning his head, observing the left and right directions of the depression, and then he heard the driver's shout.

"That guy is right in front of us, and he's not moving?"

"what?"

The commander quickly turned the camera to the front and saw a 61a2 tank with its double-barreled gun facing him.

"boom!"
