Chapter 105: The Roar of the Steel Giant
Over the simulated town training ground, a sharp electronic buzzing sound cut through the silence, announcing the start of the confrontation!
Almost in the same second the sound rang, inside the cockpit of the prototype, Li Yang took a deep breath and held the joystick steadily with both hands.
Through the panoramic display screen, he could clearly see the figures moving between the buildings in the distance.
Old Li, how does it feel? Wang Hao's voice came through the communication channel.
This big guy of ours is much more exciting to drive than a car, right?
Li Yang didn't answer; all his attention was focused on the battlefield in front of him.
Just then, fire flashed from a window of a half-collapsed three-story building in the distance!
Bang!
At the same time the sniper shot rang out, a small cluster of marking dye exploded on the main armor plate of the chest.
Beautiful! Right on target! Someone whispered on the observation platform.
But the next second, something unexpected happened to everyone.
Only to see the massive body suddenly crouch down, and the back thruster erupted with a short, ghostly blue tail flame.
The steel giant weighing several tons actually hid accurately behind a broken cement wall with a fierce lateral leap!
Damn! That reaction speed! Wang Hao slapped his thigh excitedly in the rear control vehicle.
Old Li, you're something!
Li Yang's voice remained calm: Thruster-assisted maneuvering is very effective, but energy consumption is 15% higher than expected.
On the other side of the battlefield, the squad's communication channel received the captain's command: Group A frontal containment, Group B flank detour!
Use the building blind spots to get close to it!
Remember, it's big, there will be blind spots in close combat!
Two special operations soldiers equipped with exoskeletons rushed out of the ruins like cheetahs, their simulated rifles spitting fire.
The other four team members used the complex terrain to quickly outflank from the side and rear.
Want to play close combat? Feng Yan smiled slightly on the observation platform.
Old Li, show them what three-dimensional combat is.
The moment the command was issued, the shoulder launch bay opened quietly.
Dozens of mechanical spiders and mechanical butterflies swarmed out like a bee colony, quickly disappearing into the intricate streets.
Almost simultaneously, on Li Yang's tactical screen, the large fog of war was quickly lit up.
Every street corner, every window, every high ground was covered by these micro-reconnaissance units.
Group B is passing through the right alley, expected to arrive at your 10 o'clock direction in fifteen seconds.
The sniper has moved to the D-zone water tower and is re-finding a shooting position.
Group A of three is attempting to detour from the left ruins.
Chen Guang's calm voice came through the communication channel, accompanied by real-time updated battlefield information.
With all-around vision support, Li Yang's operation became more calm and unhurried.
When a team member tried to launch a surprise attack by swinging down from a high place using a hook rope, the mechanical arm swung out in an exquisite arc.
It didn't attack the person directly, but accurately shattered the wall protrusion the team member was using for leverage.
Ouch! That team member lost balance in mid-air.
Although he landed steadily relying on the excellent performance of the exoskeleton, the surprise attack plan had already gone down the drain.
What made the squad even more troubled was that whenever they tried to organize an offensive,
there would always be a few mechanical spiders crawling out from some corner, either using micro-lasers to interfere with their sensors or crawling directly onto their exoskeletons.
Although they couldn't cause substantial damage, they greatly distracted their attention.
This fight is really suffocating! The Iron Wolf team member complained in the communication channel.
Feels like being stared at and beaten by a group of flies!
At the same time, the head-on battlefield duel was even more eye-opening for the officers on the observation platform.
Relying on their excellent mobility, the two exoskeletons darted rapidly through the ruins, firing potshots one moment and charging forward the next.
Displaying the special operations soldiers' exquisite tactical literacy and the exoskeleton's excellent performance.
However, the performance of was even more amazing.
It used its mechanical arm to easily push away the car wreckage blocking the road, and advanced in short distances with agility inconsistent with its massive body.
When the team members tried to use buildings for cover, the non-lethal weapon module on its shoulder would fire sound wave shock bombs, forcing the other party to leave the cover.
See that? Wang Hao said proudly to Zhao Kaiyuan beside him.
This is called using strength to overcome skill! Our big guy standing here is a mobile fortress!
Zhao Kaiyuan frowned: Energy consumption is still too high.
At this rate of consumption, I'm afraid the continuous combat time won't meet expectations.
On the battlefield, Li Yang also realized this problem.
In a rapid turn, he clearly felt a short delay in power.
Kaiyuan, power output is a bit unstable.
Understood, adjusting energy allocation strategy.
Just then, the squad seized this fleeting opportunity.
Three team members advanced from different directions simultaneously, and the simulated rocket launchers in their hands fired at the same time!
At the critical moment, Li Yang made an operation that surprised everyone.
Only to see crouch down, the mechanical arm smashed heavily into the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
At the same time, the back thruster opened fully, and the entire machine body actually jumped back several meters with the help of the recoil force!
Three rockets grazed under the mech's feet narrowly and exploded in the open space in the distance.
Beautiful! Brigade Commander Gao Hongbo finally couldn't help but exclaim.
After landing, didn't pause at all, and the engineering grapple at the front of the mechanical arm quickly switched to simulated combat mode.
An eye-catching laser marker instantly locked onto a team member who hadn't had time to retreat.
Beep beep beep—the training system on that team member emitted a prompt sound of being hit.
The subsequent battle completely turned into a one-sided performance.
Under the all-around surveillance of the Insect Legion, any tactical intent of the squad was invisible.
And relying on absolute strength advantage and increasingly skilled operation, it knocked one team member after another out of the battlefield.
When the last team member was gently tapped on the helmet by a mechanical finger, the whistle ending the training sounded in the field.
The smoke of gunpowder gradually dissipated, and the prototype stood quietly in the center of the ruins, its massive body covered with traces left by training ammunition, adding a few more points of majesty of a battlefield warrior.
The observation platform was silent, and everyone was still immersed in the shocking confrontation just now.
Feng Yan led the team to Brigade Commander Gao Hongbo, before he could speak.
The brigade commander walked to the field in big strides, walked around, and looked up at Li Yang, who was taking off his operating equipment in the cockpit.
Good! Very good! Gao Hongbo's voice was loud and powerful, this is what I want to see!
He turned to face everyone, his eyes burning: Iron Wolf is good, flexible, mobile, suitable for special operations.
But this one... he patted the thick leg armor of the mech.
This is the trump card of the future frontal battlefield!
Wang Hao couldn't help but interject: Brigade Commander, then our big baby...
Gao Hongbo waved his hand, decisive and firm:
Equip it! Must equip it! But... he changed the subject and looked at Feng Yan.
Solve that energy consumption problem for me first!
Feng Yan nodded with a smile, but his gaze drifted involuntarily to the distance—several technicians were recovering mechanical spiders scattered all over the battlefield.
Today's confrontation made him more convinced that the combination of the Insect Legion and the heavy mech would completely change the future combat mode. ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
