Chapter 263: 【Various Ways to Die Under Drones】(4k)

As the training side, Zhao Ming naturally couldn't arrange drones for them early on.

They had to experience this process in detail before being assigned to units using drones to fight against the opposing NPCs or the six major Blue Star federations.

In the plot.

Daxia Federation, 7th Special Operations Brigade.

At this time, the team led by Shen Yan had been scattered.

Mainly because the other side dispatched a group of drones.

Shen Yan had just escaped death.

On the other side.

Battalion Commander Liu Feng of the 1st Special Battalion was hiding in a trench.

The buzzing sound in the sky was like the Grim Reaper, circling over this battlefield.

Liu Feng was pressed into the trench by the corpse of an NPC soldier, looking as if they had been killed together.

Liu Feng moved his body slightly, gripping the gun in his hand; although his heart was pounding, his mind had been forcibly calmed down.

He quickly thought of a solution in his mind.

Suddenly.

The buzzing in the sky sounded rapidly, and it dived down!

The moment this thought flashed through his mind.

Liu Feng knew he was exposed, so he threw off the corpse covering him and raised the gun in his hand to shoot at the diving drone.

In his haste.

Bang!

One wing of the drone snapped.

Bang!

Another shot.

The drone suddenly shattered in the sky more than ten meters above him.

Before a look of joy could appear on Liu Feng's face.

Boom!!!

A loud noise came from in front of him.

The next second.

The whole world turned fire-red, a huge fireball filled his entire field of vision, and Liu Feng only felt a scorching, violent airflow rush over.

It flipped him to the ground.

A buzzing sound rang in his mind for a moment, and then the whole world lost its color and fell into darkness.

Until a few seconds later.

Liu Feng, who returned to the main interface, came back to his senses.

Dead.

Blown to death.

Damn it!

Liu Feng's face was ugly; it was simply insane.

This explosion power.

What kind of explosives were they using? It was more than enough to blow up a tank.

And they were using it to blow up people.

Liu Feng gritted his teeth, but he was also helpless.

Who would have thought that the opposing NPC troops would be so ruthless.

Logically speaking, this kind of suicide drone should be used against tanks, based on the previous two times they were bombed.

These drones were at most a bit more powerful than grenades.

That's why he thought about shooting it down.

After all, he had some confidence in his marksmanship.

Although the drone was small and couldn't be shot down from too far away, he was sure he could hit it once it got close; it was just that he didn't hit the center on the first shot.

Liu Feng estimated that if the first shot had hit the center.

The drone's altitude would have been higher, and maybe one wave wouldn't have killed him.

Now he could only wait to start again.

On the other side.

Antarctic Star Federation, C Group Army, 1st Armored Brigade.

On the other side of the battlefield.

When the game started half a month ago, the 1st Armored Brigade had more than 20 tanks, but now only 3 tanks were speeding on the plain.

The engines erupted with beast-like roars, crushing over the bumpy dirt road.

Raising thick dust into the sky.

The exhausted voice of Mobile Corps Commander Zachary of the 1st Armored Brigade sounded from the communication channel: "Maintain formation, watch the woods on both sides... Damn it!"

"There's a drone!"

"Accelerate! Accelerate to break away!"

"Release smoke!"

Mobile Corps Commander Zachary's shocked and angry voice sounded.

The driver was startled, immediately stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the engine roared louder, and the tank suddenly lunged forward.

The loader was scrambling to pick up a smoke bomb to prepare for loading.

But compared to the drone.

Everything seemed too slow.

The loader inside the tank cabin had just picked up the smoke bomb.

Without any warning.

The roar of the engine also covered the sound of the drone.

Boom—!!!

A violent explosion spread out.

Unlike armor-piercing shells that directly penetrate the tank cabin, the suicide drone that hit the top of the tank was more like an iron fist smashing down.

At the moment the explosion spread.

The entire tank was blown downward by the explosion impact.

And the Antarctic Star Federation soldiers inside the tank felt a loud noise like the end of the world.

In those one or two seconds of terror.

One could clearly see the tank collapsing and deforming from the top down.

Until the crimson violent flames filled the tank cabin.

The perspective instantly fell into darkness.

Ahead.

Two tanks that were running wildly did not stop at all.

They stepped on the accelerator to the bottom completely.

And the fear in their hearts had reached a certain point.

Tanks.

These steel behemoths that pushed across the world in World War II.

Were now so easily destroyed by a drone.

The cost of a tank ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, but that small drone... no matter how they thought about it, the cost wouldn't exceed a few hundred dollars.

Trading a few hundred dollars for a few million dollars.

This isn't fighting a war.

Isn't this just throwing money?

It wasn't until the sky turned dark and the tank's fuel ran out that the two remaining tanks stopped.

The hatches on top of the two stopped tanks opened.

The few remaining Antarctic Star Federation soldiers climbed out, their uniforms already soaked with sweat, sitting on the tanks to seize the moment of peace.

Under the sunset.

The whole world seemed to have turned orange-red.

An Antarctic Star Federation soldier looked at the endless wilderness plain and the woods in the distance: "Where is this?"

"It feels so familiar."

The driver next to him took a tattered map out of his pocket: "Let me see..."

At this moment.

An Antarctic Star Federation soldier on the tank next to him slapped his thigh: "This sunset, this environment?!"

"This is Kursk, right!"

The soldier next to him was a little confused: "Kursk?"

The driver holding the map looked at the map and said: "That's right."

"This is Kursk."

"I fought here before in the [World War II] series."

"I didn't expect that decades later in the plot."

"We're fighting here again."

There were many soldiers on Blue Star who had played the [World War II] series, especially when it first came out and became popular; almost every major battle had people trying to participate.

The Battle of Kursk was one of them.

The Antarctic Star Federation soldier on the tank next to him said: "When was that in the plot?"

"1943, right."

"It's 2022 now."

"The plot is so fast."

"In the blink of an eye, 79 years have passed?"

"It's just that I didn't expect that after decades, this land would be at war again."

"Hell."

The tank driver next to him looked at the map and said: "It's more than 79 years."

"Our current plot has already passed the 2022 node."

"So."

"This land has been at war again after more than 80 years."

Everyone looked at the beautiful sunset, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly.

The tank driver who was looking at the sunset noticed something stuck behind the tank when he lowered his head.

He leaned over and pulled it out.

Everyone was attracted and looked over.

Seeing the slender stick in the tank driver's hand, they couldn't help but be curious: "What is that?"

The tank driver flipped through the stick in front of him and said: "It should be a bracket for some part of the drone."

"It should have been knocked here when the Mobile Corps Commander was sent to the sky just now."

Hearing this.

Everyone laughed inexplicably: "Oh."

"Mobile Corps Commander to the sky... hahahahaha."

"Sorry, I can't help it."

"Hell, why is it so funny."

"Hahahaha, it's good that this is just a plot, the Mobile Corps Commander didn't really die."

"But this is a livestream, there are people watching outside."

"...hiss!"

"Pretend I didn't say anything!"

Everyone laughed nonsensically, then suddenly stopped, feeling a bit inexplicable, but this also relaxed their tense hearts a lot.

The tank driver flipped through the stick and found some handwriting on the edge: "There's writing on this too."

The soldier next to him asked: "Where was this thing produced?"

The tank driver looked at the familiar font on it and read it out: "yi."

"..."

Outside the plot.

The soldiers of the Daxia Federation had already exited one after another.

In the plot projection cast in the conference room.

Only Shen Yan and a few soldiers in places not discovered by drones were still alive.

The others had already arrived in the conference room.

Watching together with the others.

Chief of Staff Qu Guang looked at the projection, then looked at the 1st Special Battalion, Battalion Commander Liu Feng, then the 1st Company Commander, 2nd Company Commander...

Basically, all the cadres of the 1st Special Battalion were present.

Qu Guang said: "Tell me, what are your thoughts?"

The officers of the 1st Special Battalion looked at each other, and Liu Feng said: "To be honest."

"This drone is a bit outrageous."

"We can only find a way from the electronic warfare aspect."

"But the plot didn't arrange such units or equipment for us; if we fight according to past experience, we will really die without a whole corpse."

Hearing this.

The soldiers of the 1st Special Battalion who had just exited the plot nodded deeply.

It was simply too outrageous.

Originally in the [World War II] series, they trained and progressed so much.

Even in the [Global Anti-Terrorism] DLC, they could fight back and forth with those NPC troops.

But it had only been 20 years.

In [2022], everything was pushed over and started over.

The tactics and methods learned before had almost no effect.

Trenches?

Even if they were dug in all directions, it was useless; "Earth" doesn't need to bomb wildly anymore, the other side just opens a small drone."

Buzz, it flies over."

Even if there are foxholes in the trenches, it's useless."

They aim carefully."

A dive, and it goes straight into the foxhole."

Boom, like popping popcorn."

A bunch of debris sprayed out of the foxhole..."

Steel torrent?"

If you dare to play like that, that would be great."

How much does a tank cost, how much does an armored vehicle cost, ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Even if it's not these."

A regular military transport truck costs at least tens of thousands of dollars."

What about the other side?"

A drone."

The cost is a few hundred dollars, and if you buy it wholesale, it might be even lower."

The only valuable thing might be the explosives mounted on it."

A $2 million tank, a small drone charges... Boom—!"

Directly turned into scrap iron."

This fighting method."

I'm afraid even the American Federation can't withstand it."

Trenches can't stop it, steel torrents can't stop it, urban warfare... that's even more nonsense."

Before, it required house-to-house fighting, or even artillery coverage."

To destroy the enemy's effective strength."

But now... as long as they know which floor you are on, a few drones."

Buzz, they rush in."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Directly taken away."

And with the size of this drone."

It's not much bigger than a palm, and once it's a little distance away, it's basically a small black dot."

Unless you wait for it to rush to your front, you can't hit it."

But once the drone rushes to your front, you're basically gone."

And the original bunkers and such have almost no effect when facing drones."

The drone flies to an altitude of several hundred meters and can easily overlook any movement on the battlefield below, and it's clear where people are."

But the distance is too far, and you might not even be able to find it."

Until the drone flies over your head and dives down, you can hear the terrifying whistling sound."

Then..."

Naturally, the screen goes dark."

During this time."

At least 70% of the soldiers in the 1st Special Battalion were eliminated by drones."

There were all kinds of ways to die."

But there were no cases of counter-killing."

In fact, they couldn't counter-kill."

Even if they shot down the drone, they only shot down a drone, causing no damage to the other side, just losing a few hundred dollars."

But if they didn't shoot it down, they would be the ones to die."

Qu Guang also looked at the projection, thinking."

But after thinking for a long time, he shook his head: "The cost of drones is too low."

After thinking for a long time, Qu Guang could only sigh."

There was no other way."

The fact is that the cost is too low, too low; compared to a tank worth millions of dollars, a drone is really cabbage price."

A $2 million tank, if buying cheap drones, using the simplest "swarm" tactics, calculated at $1,000 per drone."

"The price of one tank can buy 2,000 drones."

"And these 2,000 drones, carrying bombs, even if only one-third hit, would destroy hundreds of the opponent's tanks, trucks, and other large equipment."

"This wave of the opponent's losses would be more than tens of millions of dollars."

"And this is just dealing with equipment."

"What about people?"

"A $1,000 drone, one dive, and the child that a mother raised for ten or twenty years is gone."

"This ten or twenty years of hard work is worth more than $1,000."

"But this thing has a low technical threshold."

"Some soldiers on Blue Star have picked up drones that crashed but didn't explode, and they were only the size of a plate, with extreme weight bombs hanging on them."

"They could be easily disassembled, and the batteries inside weren't even enough for half an hour of flight."

"It's a proper consumer-grade drone."

"The kind that ordinary people buy to play with, but this thing, plus a bomb, can easily take a person's life."

"And it has diverse functions."

"Integrating reconnaissance, surveillance, fire strikes, electronic interference, communication relay, and psychological warfare."

"Discovery means destruction."

"It can launch attacks from any unexpected place."

"Even if you are facing the enemy blocking you from the front, a drone might fly over from the direction of your friendly forces behind you and bomb you in a dive."

"And the countermeasures are limited."

"Because complex electromagnetic interference might affect your own communications."

"The soldiers on Blue Star are also worried."

"If this continues, there's no way to fight."

"How can the [2022] war on Earth be so outrageous? It evolved too fast, right?"

How could the war on Earth in [2022] be so absurd? Has it evolved too quickly?
