Starfighter

Chapter 144 Standing firm

The hilltop where Hao Yi and the others are located is facing an east-west avenue.After this avenue bypasses the mountain, it can be said to be the gateway to the east of Rakka Town by going north for several hundred meters.As long as they occupy that hill, they can block the avenue with long-range firepower and strangle the passage into Raqqa Town.Therefore, the position held by Haoyi's 12th Marine Company has undoubtedly become the primary target of the rebels.

After days of fierce fighting, the 12th Marine Company suffered heavy casualties.There were less than half of the 130-odd marines that were originally fully staffed, and the squad leader had almost changed. Together with Hao Yi, the company commander had changed four times.Normally, a company with such heavy casualties should have retired long ago to rest and replenish its strength.

However, what made the Marines of the 12th Company depressed and even desperate was that the division headquarters seemed to have gone crazy, trying to drain their last bit of blood, and pushed the 12th Marine Company to the line of fire over and over again.For example, this time, to stick to such a key position, let alone a disabled half-company like the 12th company, even a fully equipped battalion would be struggling for 24 hours.

"Humming buzzing" just as the round of fierce artillery fire ceased, the roar of engines of large tanks and mechs and the rumble of the ground trembled faintly and far away from that road.

"Is the fuck still alive? You can still breathe and report to me the casualties of each squad!" Hao Yi poked his head out from the half-collapsed fortifications, shaking the dust off his helmet vigorously, Frowning and looking at the distant horizon, he yelled into the headset.

"No casualties in the first platoon!" "One minor injury in the second platoon!"... The reports of the platoon leaders of each squad came from the headset one after another, and Hao Yi was also slightly relieved.During the whole round of shelling, the 60th Company, which originally had less than 12 people left, had no other casualties except for a minor injury in the second row, which made Hao Yi, the acting company commander, somewhat relieved.Under such fierce fire coverage of the siege tank group, the 12th company was able to achieve almost zero casualties. This has to be attributed to the many permanent fortifications originally built by the rebels on this position.

Before the 17th Marine Division attacked the town of Raqqa, the rebel 77th Corps stationed in the town built countless solid and thick permanent fortifications on the commanding heights of the mountains on the east and west sides of the town.A considerable part of these fortifications can even withstand the artillery bombardment of space battlecruisers.It was with these solid fortifications that the rebels made the attacking 17th Marine Division pay a lot of casualties.Although these fortifications were destroyed to a certain extent by friendly companies when they attacked.However, after a whole night of rush repairs by the 12th Marine Company, some available fortifications were repaired.

"Brothers, let's rest enough! Fuck it, my enemy is coming, so I'll have to cheer up my mother and treat these bastards well!" Hao Yi gave an order into the headset, and took off the helmet on his back. The rifle was loaded with a click, and Hu Er Pang Mao walked out of the fortification with his back bent. He lay down behind the thick concrete bunker, took out the electronic telescope and looked at the movement on the horizon from a distance.Blue figures began to pour out of the rest of the fortifications one after another, spreading out along the trench bunkers.

"Oh my god, four chariots and six mechas! You're crazy!" Hao Yi couldn't help taking a deep breath after seeing the scene on the distant horizon through the electronic telescope.The group of rebels that was slowly approaching was not only one or two hundred in number, it was also covered by tanks and mechas.Although he couldn't see the Banshee fighter plane, Hao Yi believed that there must be a fighter plane hovering above the rebels' heads for cover.Such a well-equipped armored unit needs to be resisted by 12 or [-] marines from [-] companies with almost no heavy equipment. It is no less difficult than letting a baby deal with a burly man.

"Er Fatty, have you fixed it, you foodie?" Hao Yi took a look, and Hu Erpang, who was squatting next to the laser rapid-fire gun again and nervously working, asked anxiously in a deep voice.

"It's almost ready!" Hu Erpang didn't bother to complain about the mess at this time, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, and replied without turning his head.

"Old Chen, how many individual anti-armor missiles do we have?" Hao Yi turned his head and looked at the rebel army slowly approaching in the distance, and asked in a deep voice.Lao Chen is the new platoon leader Chen Changhao. Before the battle, because there were not many brothers left in the first platoon, Hao Yi specially gathered all the individual anti-armor missiles he got from the regiment headquarters and handed them over to the first platoon. Use a platoon as an anti-armor heavy fire team.

"A total of 23 pieces!"

"Okay, tell the brothers to save me some time! Without an order, no one needs to use those missiles as fireworks! Do you understand?" Hao Yi knew that he had to deal with this rebel armored unit, those anti-armor The missile and the rapid-fire laser cannon are his trump cards.If there were no missiles and laser cannons, then I and the remaining dozens of marines from the 12th company would have to be massacred wantonly by those tanks and mechas.

"Understood, boss!"

"Everyone obeys my orders, stay behind the trench bunker honestly for me, and no one is allowed to show up without my order!" Haoyi gave another order to all the members of the 12th company, and then put away the electronic telescope, Leaning short on the inside of the trench, he began to silently count down the time in his heart according to the speed of the rebel army.

With the external sound transmission system of the cmc armor, the unique engine roar of the chariot mecha became more and more clear, Hao Yi guessed that the rebels should not be far away from the position, so he got up and slowly poked out with the electronic telescope Come on.Through the binoculars, it can be seen that the rebels have advanced to the foot of the mountain. Four siege tanks are lined up, and they seem to be busy switching tank modes, probably preparing to provide close-range fire support for the attacking rebels.The six mechas and more than 100 marines behind them are slowly gathering, probably making final preparations before the attack.

A few minutes later, the four tanks that had been switched to siege mode suddenly trembled in unison with their high-raised gun barrels, and there was a low roar, and four huge fireballs rolled up on the position of the 12th company. , The violent explosion shook the souls of the marines hiding behind the bunkers.The close fire support of the rebels then kicked off.

However, probably in order to save ammunition, after four or five rounds of heavy bombardment, the siege tanks stopped firing.At this time, those mechs took a step forward, led a team of marines, and began to attack the position of the 12th company.Due to the steep slope of the mountain, the moving speed of those mechs was quite slow.Even so, after one or two minutes, the rebel mechas and the marines behind them were less than 2 meters away from the 12th company's forward position.

At such a short distance, Hao Yi can see the serial numbers on those mechas without even using an electronic telescope.However, Haoyi did not give an attack order for a long time, and the rebels probably did not find the 12th company marines hiding behind the trench bunker.

"Miller, start!" More than ten seconds later, those rebel mechas and marines stepped into a low and sunken area in front of the position. Hao Yi suddenly had a cold light in his eyes, and gave an order in a deep voice.

"Boom, boom, boom!" As soon as Hao Yi finished speaking, balls of fire suddenly exploded in the low and sunken area, engulfing the rebel marines who entered the area one by one, including the six mechas. His figure was also blown up and down by the violent explosion shock wave.In an instant, countless steel fragments and broken limbs of flesh and blood flew in all directions, and there were bursts of miserable wailing sounds everywhere, and the low and sunken area in front of the 12th company's position was as miserable as hell.

"Good job!" Seeing the rebel attacking force being engulfed in flames, Hao Yi exclaimed excitedly, punching the bunker with his fist.It turned out that in that area, the brothers of the 12th company had laid dozens of landmines of various types in advance.These landmines include anti-armor mines and anti-personnel mines, and they were obtained by Hao Yi from the quartermaster of the regiment headquarters in a shameless way.After that, Haoyi asked Miller, the only remaining engineer in the company, to change all the mine fuzes into remote control fuzes, and after all the rebels entered the minefield, they would detonate at the same time.

The dense and powerful minefield killed and injured most of the rebels in this wave in an instant. Those rebel marines who were lucky enough not to step into the minefield were also frightened out of their wits by the horror of their comrades. Fleeing backwards, Hao Yi and others didn't even need to fire a shot, and the first wave of the rebels' attack ended anticlimactically.

"Boom boom boom!" Probably in order to cover the retreat of the remaining rebels, the four siege tanks standing at the foot of the mountain aimlessly bombarded the position of the 12th company on the top of the mountain.

"Bah bah bah! Damn it, I don't have a heavy guy in my hands!" Hao Yi spat out the mud and saliva that had choked into his mouth, and yelled cursingly.However, before he could catch his breath, another puff of smoke and dust rolled up on the distant horizon, and rows of mechas and marines were vaguely revealed in the dust.

"Damn it, these bastards want to play wheel battles!" Hao Yi hurriedly raised his binoculars to observe the formation of the second wave of rebels, and cursed with gritted teeth.The minefield in front of the position has been exhausted by the first wave of rebels, and the second wave of rebels seems to be larger than the first wave of rebels. There is no doubt that the fierce battle of the 12th company has just begun.

As time passed, the second wave of rebels slowly drove to the foot of the mountain to meet with the remaining rebels of the first wave.Seeing at the foot of the mountain, the dozen or so chariots, thirty or forty mechas, and hundreds of marines, Haoyi's little head suddenly grew bigger.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" before Haoyi could wake up from his astonishment, a series of ferocious yellow beams of light emerged from the low and dark clouds without warning, accompanied by deafening explosions all over the place again. The sound sounded, and the mountain was immediately engulfed by countless fireballs.
