This Game Is Too Realistic

"Boom——!"

Early morning hours.

Artillery shells fell one after another, causing billowing dust to rise from the middle to the south of Songlin Valley.

Looking at the thick smoke billowing high ground two kilometers away, Xiong Ya held the telescope in his hand and sneered before waving his big hand.

Upon seeing this, the centurion who was waiting eagerly on the side immediately loaded the rifle in his hand and called to the brothers behind him to come forward.

"Brothers, follow me!"

A group of looters raised their rifles and howled excitedly.

"Cut off their heads!"

"Ouch!"

Although he raised his voice at the loudest level, the centurion did not rush to the front. Instead, he cleverly asked his subordinate centurions to lead the charge first.

The team of about one hundred and ten people was divided into three echelons on the left, middle and right. Each echelon had four teams of ten people, using the cover of the pine forest to advance quickly.

According to previous intelligence, there was a death claw lurking in this pine forest, and the brothers stationed at the northern outpost heard its roar.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, and even though their artillery had blasted the enemy's position into the sky, they did not dare to relax their vigilance at all.

At the same time, on the position that had just been plowed by artillery fire, two young players slowly poked their heads out of the trench.

"Fuck... I'm almost deafened." His little finger dug into his ear, and the Silver Sword cursed and spit in his mouth.

Ji Yin's father, who was squatting next to him, stretched his neck to look outside and kept asking questions.

"How many were shot just now? Did you count them?"

Jiyinzhijian thought for a while.

"I don't know...about ten rounds?"

Jin Yin's father curled his lips.

"Tsk, poor guy!"

The fire ceased after only 20 rounds.

There are hundreds of bullets coming down!

siskin!

Although the previous round of shelling was fierce, it did not have much impact on the players on the ground.

Thanks to Elder Brother Fang's foresight, he had a premonition that the Ya clan would bombard their position without any martial ethics, so everyone dug anti-gun holes in the trenches first.

When the first artillery shell just fell into the forest in front of the position, the players squatting in the trench immediately hid in the hole.

By the time the marauders moved the shells to their positions, there was no one left in the trenches.

Those anti-gunfire holes built in the trenches were fully 100 meters deep, and the walls and tops were reinforced with thigh-thick pine wood. Although the sound of artillery outside was earth-shattering, it did not cause any real harm to the players inside the holes. Sexual injury.

After all, the power of the 100mm 㱕 artillery is still too small.

Doubling the caliber and charge might help.

At the same time, the Burning Corps players who were sitting aside to rest in the anti-gun cave opened their eyes one after another and woke up from their sleep one after another.

He was startled by the sudden opening of his eyes. He squatted at the entrance of the bomb-proof hole and said in amazement.

"Damn, you guys are online so soon? I'm going to find someone to go down and call you."

Fang Chang shook his groggy head and looked at the dust falling on his legs. He immediately understood what happened and said calmly.

"What's going on outside now?"

The silver hand quickly answered.

"We rained down dozens of artillery shells on our opponent, and about seven or eight of them landed on our position. However, we hid in time and there were no casualties!"

"If it can hit our position accurately, there should be predator observers nearby..." After making a quick judgment, Lao Qi immediately looked at Ye Shi aside, "Ye Shi, go look for it on the mountain. , by the way, let’s see if anyone is coming from the high ground to our north.”

After turning off his helmet visor, he unconsciously grabbed the sniper rifle and backpack lying on the ground.

"Copy that! Guangfeng, let's go."

"Um."

As always, Guangfeng spoke little. He nodded, picked up the rifle and drone backpack that were lying next to him, and then ducked into the hole with a low body.

The two left the bomb shelter.

Fang Chang moved to the observation hole and took a look outside.

"...the shelling has stopped, and the opponent is probably planning to charge."

The pine forest down the slope was silent, and the early morning light passed through the gaps between the trees. If it weren't for the shell craters that exuded the slightest trace of heat, almost no one would associate this place with the battlefield.

However, through the observation hole, which was almost covered with soil, even if Fang Chang was not a perception player, he could still smell the murderous intention hidden under the silence.

Without hesitation, Lao Ji stretched out his index finger and tapped the VM twice quickly, switched the communication channel to the captain's voice, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, go to the fighting position immediately!"

"Prepare to engage the enemy!"

Players who had just logged into the game immediately emerged from the anti-gun holes, rushed into the trenches and took up positions, loading their rifles and light machine guns.

At the same time, a hundred troops of raiders passed through the forest and finally reached the edge of the pine forest!

The two sides met each other.

The centurion at the foot of the hillside had no time to think about why the artillery on his side had clearly fired several rounds of high-explosive grenades at the high ground, but there were still so many people standing in the trench in front of him.

There is only one thing he can do now——

"Fire! Everyone fire!"

Roaring loudly, the centurion fell down behind a pine tree as thick as his thigh. While shooting at the high ground with his rifle, he urged the centurion beside him to lead his team to press forward.

Of course, the players stationed on the high ground would not let them succeed. Lao Yi took the lead in pulling the trigger and fired the first shot of the Songlin Valley defense battle.

"Free fire! Repeat, free fire!"

"Attention, all team members, hit me hard!"

The battle is about to begin!

As soon as the predators rushed to the bottom of the slope, they were crushed by firepower sloping down from the high ground.

Seeing the ferocious firepower on the high ground, the looters were forced to stop charging, and they all fell into the craters left by the previous shelling. They used the fallen pine trees and rocks as bunkers, and started a fierce fight with the players on the high ground. fire.

Suddenly there was loud gunfire up and down the slopes.

The battle situation is extremely anxious!

Seeing that the high ground ahead could not be conquered for a long time, Xiong Ya, standing on the north slope about a kilometer away, looked anxious and couldn't help but curse.

"Have these idiots not eaten?"

Standing next to Xiong Ya, Tumen, who served as the staff officer, held a telescope in his hand and frowned while observing the distant position.

The firepower is too intensive!

There were probably hundreds of people squatting in the trenches, with more than a dozen light machine guns pressing down the slope, and they couldn't even lift their heads. This position didn't look like it had been washed by artillery shells.

"...Those people probably dug bombproof holes in the trenches."

Tumen was puzzled.

No matter how he calculated, the opposite side only had 18 hours to build defenses.

Even if we dig non-stop, it will not be easy to dig out the trenches in such a short time. However, they not only dug trenches, but also dug holes to withstand shelling.

Even for a real gopher, this speed is a bit exaggerated.

Putting down the telescope, Tumen saw the captain standing aside and said solemnly.

"The opponent has rich experience in field combat, so this battle may not be easy to win!"

Hearing the staff officer's comments, Xiong Ya's eyes flashed with irritation.

Especially when he thought of the mocking eyes of the Torch Church apostle, it made him furious.

Not easy to fight?

He still doesn’t believe it!

Seeing that a mortar had just been set up not far behind you, Xiong Ya spoke loudly.

"Mortar team listen!"

"The high ground in front of the target, hit me!"

Following several bangs and bangs of cannons, dozens of mortar shells rose into the sky one after another and landed heavily on the southern slope of Songlinyu.

Explosions sounded one after another, and dust flew up from the high ground on the south side of Songlin Valley.

I didn't expect these predators to be so stupid. They didn't care about their teammates who were still charging, and even their own people were blown up.

The players squatting in the trenches were caught off guard by the bombardment, and they all lay down behind the bunkers to avoid the raging shrapnel.

Feeling the shrapnel flying around above his head, Fang Chang looked at Hu Laoqi and shouted.

"There are too many people in the trenches. Three ten-man teams are enough! The other people go first to hide in the anti-gun holes. If the people outside fall, the people behind will come up again!"

"good!"

Lao Dong was obviously aware of the problem, and immediately issued orders to each team through the command channel.

Ten light machine guns were left on the position, and two people stood next to each machine gun. One person fired, one person was responsible for delivering ammunition, and the remaining person squatted at the mouth of the gun hole as a substitute, ready to step up and take over the position of his teammates at any time.

With the adjustment of deployment, although the firepower on the position has been slightly weakened, the efficiency has improved a lot.

Down the hillside, the looters were much worse off.

The mortar shells that came from behind them were completely inaccurate, and less than half landed on the high ground.

As for the remaining half...

Either it hit too far, or it landed on your own face.

Machine guns were set up on the hillside in front, and teammates were firing mortars behind them. Being caught in the middle, they were in constant pain and were in a dilemma.

In less than ten minutes, half of the entire hundred-man team was defeated!

"MMP! You can really explode, right..."

Lying in the trench, Mosquito cursed and fiddled with the VM screen with his index finger, setting the coordinates for the artillery attack on the hillside north of Songlin Valley.

Songlinyu is about ten kilometers away from Qingshi County. This distance is close to the maximum range of his 130mm rocket.

But it’s not a big problem!

The rocket launchers of the Goblin Corps were all mounted on electric mule trucks. After Qingshi County was captured, they were stationed in a camp near the department store center.

When the battle just started, he made a decision and asked the artillery team to drive the truck with the launch tubes to the open space in the northern suburbs of Qingshi County for deployment.

At this moment, their artillerymen have arrived at their position and can launch counter-artillery strikes at the enemy's mortar positions at any time!

"Attention, artillery team of the Goblin Corps! The coordinates of the artillery attack have been updated, a rocket salvo—"

"Blow it up for me!"

After waiting for several minutes, a whistling sound could be heard coming from above everyone's heads, like a pipe organ being played.

Accompanied by the shrieking of the buzzer, thick and long tail flames tore through the silence of the morning and dusk, falling like raindrops on the northern part of Songlin Valley.

Ten rockets suddenly poured out!

Although these rockets are not very accurate, their quantity makes up for this shortcoming.

The deafening roar caused the mortar position in the north to shut up immediately, and a thick smoke billowing from the high ground in the north could be seen.

In less than half a minute, dozens of people were killed by the indiscriminate bombardment from rockets, and nearly a hundred people were injured.

The smoke was boiling, wolves were crying and ghosts were howling on the battlefield, and countless looters had their arms and legs blown off. The scene was like hell.

Struggling to get up from a piece of muddy land, Xiong Ya could not ignore the mud on his face, and his face was full of shock.

"Mom, what was that just now?!"

He has never seen such a terrifying weapon.

Countless missiles almost covered the sky, and one of them landed less than ten meters away from him. The shock wave of the explosion knocked him to the ground.

He had never been so close to death.

At that moment, he even felt like he had lost his breath.

Perhaps, I shouldn't be too full of words...

"Rockets...fuck, they've got all this stuff out!"

Tumen, who was not far from Xiongya, had the same embarrassed look on his face, but he was a man who had seen the world, so his reaction was quite calm.

After taking a look at the messy battlefield behind him, Tumen's heart sank to the bottom.

Lacking fortifications and bunkers, this sudden round of saturated firepower caused them to lose at least the combat effectiveness of a hundred-man team.

Fortunately, he saved a hand and did not let all the troops behind him catch up, otherwise the losses would have been even heavier...

"I'm afraid the opponent's support firepower is greater than ours. We need the support of vehicles... Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, even a thousand more people will not be enough."

"Get your men back!"

Although he doesn't want to admit it, the fact is before his eyes.

"Damn gopher...if he has the ability to come down from the high ground, he can have a fair fight with me like a man!"

Xiongya cursed tremblingly, pulled out the flare gun from his waist, inserted a green-painted flare, and fired a shot into the sky.

As the green light rose into the sky, the centurion who was directing the battle on the front line finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the signal light in the sky, calling for the surrounding predators to retreat.

"Lao Ji, they retreated! What do you mean, chase them?"

As he watched the predators below begin to retreat, Qin Qing, who was holding the machine gun, immediately shouted excitedly and looked at Lao Jin beside him.

Lao Ji, who was staring down the slope, frowned and shook his head.

"Hold your position!"

Compared to the 500 people they blocked yesterday, these people were obviously much more difficult to deal with. At least they knew how to find cover and spread out their advance instead of swarming into their guns.

It seems that the difficulty of the levels is gradually increasing...

However, at this moment, Lao Dong suddenly noticed Mr. Junk squatting at the door of the bomb-proof cave and gearing up. He felt a move in his heart, and then added another word to his previous order.

"Except Brother Trash."

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but pick up rubbish. Level 99 immediately got out of the bombproof hole.

"Hahaha! It's finally my turn! Brothers, cover me!"

After that, the heavily armored lizard raised its head and roared excitedly, jumped out of the trench without any delay, and ran towards the pine forest at the foot of the hillside.

Seeing the big lizard jumping out of the trench, the commander and staff holding telescopes on the opposite position were dumbfounded.

"...What was that thing just now?" Xiong Ya swallowed and said.

Staring at Tumen at the edge of the pine forest, he spoke with difficulty.

"It looks a bit like a death claw...but it looks a bit smaller."

If this monster were allowed to rush behind him, none of the hundred men he sent out to seize the high ground would come back.

Xiongya didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly pushed the centurion standing next to him, urging him to give the order.

"Quick! Bring your people up!"

"The people who are covering us, get back!"

Armed with Iron Fist rocket launchers and heavy rifles for hunting large alien species, a team of 100 headed down the hillside.

However, they were still a step too late.

The garbage man charging into the crowd is like a rampaging tank. Every time he swings his steel claws, he will kill several people.

When the reinforcements running down the mountain finally caught up with the fleeing friendly forces, there were only a dozen people left in the centurion sent to seize the high ground.

When he saw the reinforcements from the predators, Mr. Garbage was not willing to fight. He immediately gave up the pursuit and turned around to escape into the pine forest behind him.

This is how the first round of confrontation between the Beartooth Tribe and the Burning Legion came to an end.

The 100-man raiders who first launched the attack dropped more than a hundred corpses, and only a dozen of them fled back to their positions on the north side.

The previous round of rockets not only caused more than a hundred casualties, but also completely shocked the Xiongya tribe who arrogantly clamored to contribute to Qingshi County within ten days.

Let alone Qingshi County.

Just a high ground on the north side of Qingshi County cost them nearly 20% of their casualties...

After weighing the pros and cons, Xiong Ya followed the advice of his staff, abandoned the position on the north side of Songlin Valley, and withdrew the five men stationed in the direction of Xizhou, leaving only two centurions to build on the position they had left. Trenches and blast bunkers.

As for the players, they also suffered 17 casualties, half of which were carried away by mortars from the opposite side.

After discovering that the looters on the northern position had retreated, they had no time to cheer for victory. The players in the trenches, led by the corps commander, immediately consolidated the position under their feet.

The other party obviously won't give up.

No one knows when the next round of shelling will come.

At the same time, Lao Dong, who was digging trenches with his comrades, quickly received a new task through VM - to hold the high ground on the south side of Songlin Valley for at least 48 hours.

Supplies will arrive within 2 hours, including 10 10mm heavy machine guns, and a mortar team composed of 20 NPCs.

After 48 hours, the Death Corps will switch defenses with them.

…

Qingshi County.

Temporary headquarters.

Looking at the battle reports sent from the front line and the logistics department at the same time, Chu Guang felt mixed feelings.

In just 24 hours since the war began, his little players had destroyed 150 130mm rocket launchers, 400 100mm howitzers, and dozens of 100-kilogram aerial bombs and bomb-dropping aircraft for him.

In addition, there are nearly 31 tons of basic ammunition-including full-power rifle bullets and several machine gun bullets.

As for the mission rewards given to players?

That's all trivial.

Even if calculated based on the battle reward of 1,000 silver coins per capita, the money distributed was only just over one million silver coins. With the silver coin consignment platform as a "secondary field" as a reservoir, some players will exchange silver coins into real money to improve their lives, and the large base of reservation players will absorb this part of the inflation for them.

However, there is no place to pay for the bullets fired.

The biggest difference between the virtual economy and the real economy is probably here.

Although he had made sufficient preparations before the war, Chu Guang still deeply realized how expensive it was to fight.

Of course, with the superior firepower, the results achieved were quite astonishing.

In less than half a day, the thousands-man regiment annihilated the Ya clan's entire thousand-man regiment. The Burning Corps stationed in Songlin Valley even relied on the strength of a company to defeat a regiment that came to seize the high ground.

In addition, the equipment seized from Lion Tooth and the copper mine that was recovering its production also allowed him to regain some blood.

While Chu Guang was silently calculating the expenses, the officers in the headquarters were discussing the next battle plan.

It is Wrench who is speaking now.

After several battles, although his frontline combat experience was still lacking, his strategic vision had improved greatly compared to when he was in the Guard.

At times like this, it was usually Vanus who spoke. Now he can also put forward his own opinions based on the intelligence fed back by the frontline troops.

"...Songlin Valley is the only way from Qingshi County to Xizhou. As long as the commander of the Ya clan is not a idiot, he will definitely win this strategic location at all costs."

"Currently, the Ya clan's thousand-man team has been repulsed by our troops, but I believe that a more violent second round of offensive will come soon!"

"I think so too."

Vanus, who was standing aside, stared at the map and nodded slowly.

"...If the Ya clan is allowed to occupy the high ground on the south side of Songlin Valley, their 100mm artillery can hit the county seat of Qingshi County."

"Since we have the conditions to hold it, my suggestion is to send more manpower and do everything possible to control this position!"

Although until the morning of the first day, Vanus still thought that the strategy of "advance the front line ten kilometers further north" was too radical, after seeing the battle report sent back from the front line by the Burning Corps, all worries in his mind disappeared. .

The strength of this elite corps was far more powerful than he imagined!

If each of these people has the ability to match ten, maybe they can really create miracles and turn the impossible into a reality.

Chu Guang, who had been listening to the discussions among the officers, sitting at the command table, suddenly spoke.

"Approximately how many people do you think we will need?"

Vanus thought for a moment and said.

"The terrain of Songlin Valley can deploy up to three thousand-man troops. If we want to block the attack of three thousand men... conservatively, at least one thousand men will be needed."

Chu Guang asked.

"How about something more radical?"

Vanus was silent for a while.

"Five hundred people."

At this time, Bernie, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.

"I'm afraid five hundred people are not enough. I know your infantry is strong, but the Ya clan has tanks. They have suffered a loss at your hands once, and they will not make the same mistake next time."

Everyone looked at him in unison.

This man was the commander of the 210,000th team of the former Legion Expeditionary Force. After following his superiors to join the Bone Chewing Tribe, he served as a staff officer under the Lion Fang Account.

Since he surrendered to the New Alliance under Vanus's persuasion, he is currently serving as a prisoner of war and serving as a temporary "Advisor on Military Operations against the Bone-Chewing Tribe".

Although Bernie's identity was somewhat sensitive, Chu Guang did not ignore the information he provided, but looked at him and asked.

"How many tanks they have."

Bernie shook his head: "I don't know the specifics... If it's just the equipment they took over from us, there would be about a dozen, but if you count the ones they bought from other places, it's hard to say."

"Buy?" Chu Guang frowned slightly, "Is there anyone else selling tanks to them?"

Bernie smiled bitterly.

"Not just tanks, but also replacement parts, maintenance tools, fuel, and artillery shells... You wouldn't think that those barbarians can be self-sufficient."

Chu Guang: "Continue."

Bernie paused for a moment and continued.

"...As far as I know, there is a place called 'Bugra' in the north-central part of the Valley Province. They call themselves the Free State of Bugla. Most of the residents there are bounty hunters, mercenaries or thieves... and sell stolen goods for them. Businessmen and factory owners who pay for stolen goods. These people are never picky about buyers and sellers, and naturally they also do business with predators. Due to their proximity to the Great Rift Valley, they can even get a lot of rare good things in the wasteland. "

Chu Guang said slightly surprised.

"I thought the bone-chewing tribe would rob everything they came across."

Bernie made a helpless expression.

"They are indeed doing this, and even want to establish a kingdom of plunderers in the River Valley Province. However, nothing is absolute. The treasures they robbed must be traded with others, so they do not rob everyone. For example, in Red River Town, It used to be their second largest place for selling stolen goods, but the garbage mountain there was too eye-catching, and it happened to be in the way of the Snake Clan heading east... so the honeymoon period for both parties came and went quickly. "

"As for the Bugla Free State... it's too close to the Great Rift Valley. The Bone Chewing Tribe didn't dare to provoke those ruthless people and kept going south."

No wonder.

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

He had been curious about how the marauders drove the tanks here from the north. Even if there is fuel, any broken parts on the road must be repaired, right?

Equipment that is separated from logistical support are non-renewable resources.

And this is one of the reasons why Boulder City would rather spend money to hire a large group of cannon fodder to deal with the wave than send power armor up.

Chu Guangdao was not worried about this trading partner of the Bone Chewing Tribe. Those people are doing it for free, not for charity.

The Ya clan's march southward has stopped. There is not enough loot, and there is no industry to earn income. Even if there is a trade route, it is just a decoration.

As for those tanks?

Chu Guang was even less worried.

Are you afraid of a 100 kilogram aerial bomb?

No matter how hard the coffin board left to them by the legion was, the people inside were still made of flesh. If a 100-kilogram aerial bomb is thrown down, even the slime mold will be blown to pieces, let alone a few rookie tankers.

Chu Guang hoped that they would bring out the tanks as soon as possible. This thing was similar to the power armor of Boulder City, with one less broken one.

"...The longer this battle lasts, the better it is for us. Although the Ya clan has the numerical advantage, their logistics situation is not at the same level as ours!"

"As long as we do our best to hold them on our position and consume their effective strength and supplies through solid front lines and artillery fire, the final victory will definitely belong to us!"

Liu Ding, who had been staring at the map, suddenly sighed.

"It would be great if we could send a force to infiltrate their rear... Even if we don't fight them head-on, it would be good to unite with the local resistance organizations to create some trouble for them."

Of course, he just talked about it.

Infiltrating into the enemy's rear is easy to talk about, but it is not that difficult to implement it.

Because this is equivalent to asking a group of soldiers to continue fighting while being separated from supplies and trapped in a tight siege.

Without a sufficient advantage, such a risky plan is tantamount to sending someone to death.

However, after Chu Guang heard this, his eyes lit up.

"This is a good idea!"

Bernie frowned and shook his head.

"Emergency...According to my understanding of the terrain in this area, Songlin Valley is the only road from Qingshi County to Xizhou. Unless we go around from Tianshui, but that is the territory of the Snake Clan."

Vanus also cast a doubtful look at Chu Guang.

"How are you going to send the troops there?"

Chu Guang stood up and looked at the map, smiling slightly.

"Fly over of course!"
