Chapter 20 Tasting the Storm! Ta-da~~~ (Please subscribe)

The observers strained their eyes and quickly relayed the enemy situation ahead to all units!

"A massive invasion by an alien army! Repeat! A massive invasion by an alien army!"

"Mark the enemy's location! Mark it immediately! Instruct all defense soldiers to be on high alert."

The well-trained soldiers' fingers flew across the keyboard as they quickly marked several enemy threat points that had just been detected on the tactical tablet.

Although electromagnetic interference is present, it has little impact on communication over a distance of only a few hundred meters.

At the 9 o'clock position, 530 meters directly in front of the camp, the initial estimate of the number of targets exceeds 300!

They are assaulting the camp, triggering numerous landmines, which has also drawn the attention of the camp's soldiers.

Because the cautious soldiers had laid out a dense network of barbed wire, the night raiding force's formation became extremely tight. The flares they had dropped had already revealed their location.

At the four o'clock position, 600 meters away, there are approximately 216 targets. Their formation is relatively dispersed, and they are quietly lying in ambush, waiting to launch a surprise attack.

The camp did not deploy flares or other detection equipment to that area.

At one o'clock, 580 meters away, the target is about 221. They are also in a dispersed formation, lying in wait, their intentions unclear.

At the seven o'clock position, 720 meters away, the number of targets is the most terrifying, exceeding 1,100!
These humanoid creatures, scattered in formation and varying in size, stood eerily still, as if waiting for something.

The detectors were severely interfered with, significantly reducing their range, but the soldiers estimated that some distant enemy swarms had not yet been detected.

The data collected from battlefield reconnaissance is being instantly synchronized with the information flow to the tactical helmet display and handheld tablet of every defending soldier.

The enemy's initial attack focus was clearly visible.

The advance camp currently has more than 270 people.

Given the undead nature of those undead bullets, the losses would likely be heavy if the attackers were caught off guard.

Fortunately, I discovered the strangeness of this world this morning.

Li Jing kept a close eye on the constantly updated battlefield information.

The combat mission discussed during the day was spoken aloud: "Listen to my orders! The 12.7mm heavy machine guns will conduct long bursts of suppressive fire to probe the enemy attacking from the nine o'clock position! Flamethrower soldiers, be alert for approaching enemies."

"All other defensive lines shall remain on high alert and closely monitor the enemy in front! Heavy artillery units shall prepare to provide fire support!"

The order was issued, and each department confirmed receipt of the message.

A young gunner operating a 12.7mm heavy machine gun had a look of excitement in his eyes.

He quickly confirmed the enemy attack location information transmitted by the non-cooperative detection device on the combat tablet.

The heavy gun was suddenly turned around in his hand and aimed at the pre-set target area shrouded in wind and snow.

Even when the wind and snow blinded him and he couldn't see the target at all, the precise shooting range he had memorized during the day was his most reliable eyes.

He pursed his lips, wiped the snow debris off his closed helmet, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

*Pfft... Pfft...*

The distinctive roar of a heavy machine gun rang out.

Short bursts consist of three to five rounds, while long bursts consist of five to eight rounds.

Each bullet is a mixture of armor-piercing incendiary rounds and tracer rounds.

The scorching metal storm instantly tore through the snow and wind ahead, carrying the aura of death, and plunged deep into the unseen horde of humanoid monsters in the snow and wind!

The next second, the crisp cracking sound of a bullet hitting its target could be clearly heard from afar!
And the monsters' even stranger, more mournful roars!

And some short, desperate cries!
Several green tracer bullet trails, like the scythe of death, briefly illuminated the snow-covered night sky.

With just a few dozen bullets fired, the enemy group, which had been charging forward with great momentum, suddenly halted its offensive!
The young gunner, upon hearing the observer's report, suddenly brightened his slightly tense eyes. A slight, uncontrollable smile began to spread across his face…

Li Jing stared intently at the real-time updates transmitted back by the detection equipment.

On the screen, the glowing dots representing the enemy showed obvious confusion and... disappeared under the impact of 12.7mm bullets!
Most of the bullets achieved their intended results with precision!

The otherworldly enemies that were swept away were like tattered sacks smashed by a heavy hammer; their bodies exploded, and their limbs and fragments flew everywhere!

Some unfortunate creatures that resembled skeletons were instantly ignited by armor-piercing incendiary bombs, turning into twisted and dancing torches in the wind and snow!
"12.7mm caliber weapons are effective!"

Upon seeing the results, Li Jing spoke, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

The seemingly large-caliber, powerful weapons, along with the frequent flares launched into the sky, also enraged the enemy.

After a brief pause, the enemies who had attempted to storm the camp launched an even more frenzied attack, like a tidal wave.

Before he could even celebrate, Li Jing shouted again, "Heavy machine gunners, fire freely! Give them a good beating!"

"Aren't you going to fire, squad leader?"

"Unless it's absolutely dangerous, let's leave the otherworldly enemies with a little surprise~"

"But I'm afraid the enemy will be wiped out!" The soldier on the infantry fighting vehicle looked at the area he was aiming at, feeling unwilling to give up.

Upon hearing this, the young gunner operating the heavy machine gun grinned again, revealing a set of white teeth.

The soldier's shoulder braced against the machine gun stock, his fingers seemingly welded to the trigger, and he began frantically pressing it!

Dadadadadada——!
The three 12.7mm heavy machine guns positioned directly in front simultaneously unleashed a deafening roar!

Mixed with armor-piercing incendiary rounds, green tracer rounds, and ordinary heavy machine gun bullets, it poured out like an unstoppable waterfall of metal!

They intertwined in the snowy night, forming a scorching, deadly metallic storm that instantly enveloped the entire target's field of fire!

The terrifying metal storm tore through the wind and snow with unparalleled force, crashing violently into the fearless, surging, otherworldly undead creatures!

The attacking enemies consisted of only a few skeletons; most were corpses with flesh and skin still attached.

This resulted in dense and powerful kinetic bullets easily piercing the undead's carbon-based body.

Dense enemy hordes, under the baptism of the metal storm, exploded, collapsed, and turned into dust in large swathes!
Flesh and bone fragments danced wildly in the light of tracer bullets, mingling with the swirling snow!
In addition to heavy machine guns, there are also sniper grenade launchers that are fired according to a firing range chart.

The 40mm incendiary grenade slammed into the front, causing widespread combustion and kinetic energy damage...

In addition to heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, there were also the soldiers' rifles.

More than twenty rifles swept across the field of fire in three-round bursts...

Such a powerful metal storm inflicted fatal damage on the attacking army!
A few dozen seconds later, one of the heavy machine guns temporarily ceased fire, and the ammunition handlers nearby quickly replaced it with pre-prepared ammunition boxes.

"My turn! My turn!"

The second archer muttered to himself.

"Let me fire another burst! I can take another burst!"

The young soldiers pulled the triggers, their minds and bodies in a state of high excitement.

Seconds later, more metal storms were spewed out, forming a deadly rain of bullets... while the enemy in the distance seemed to be completely enraged by the terrifying power of the human heavy machine gun weapon.

A shriek, sharper and more mournful than any of the previous roars, suddenly rang out from somewhere in the distance!
The wind and snow began to intensify and become more violent at this moment!
The equipment used by the advance team to detect electromagnetic interference also started ringing frequently, and the frequency gradually became unsettling.

Urged on by this shrill whistle, the enemies surrounding the camp could no longer hold back.

They completely abandoned all probing and tactics, and began the most primitive and frenzied human wave charge...
