Chereads / Cowardly hero / Chapter 17 - Stealth

Chapter 17 - Stealth

"Fatty has landed, coordinates 1045.2207, safe. Come closer to me."

[Fatty] is Tian Xingjian's nickname. Rashid wanted to call him [bitch], but Fatty refused. He said, "Either call me a hero or a fat man."

There is no such a wretched hero, and your medal can't prove anything. Everyone said, let's just call him Fatty.

The deputy position is usually the vanguard of the scouts. In squad operations, the deputy squad leader walks in the front, and in platoon operations, the deputy platoon leader walks in the front. Of course, deputy battalion commanders and above are definitely not included. In other words, the highest military position to walk in the front during an operation is the deputy company commander.

The fat man, who felt it was nonsense, opened the cabin door and spat hard. The air outside had a damp smell. The mechas of the first company of soldiers landed in the sky one after another. The boosters on the mechas were turned to the maximum, making a rumbling sound. The rapidly falling mechas seemed to be held up by an invisible hand in the air about 50 meters above the ground. That was the effect of the recoil of the boosters acting on the ground.

These mechas are the best standard equipment of the Lele Federation. Due to the special nature of the special forces, almost all weapons and mechas that can be equipped in large quantities will be provided to the special forces first.

There are three models of mechas equipped by the first company. The most is the seventh-generation Warrior Mecha, which is a single-soldier mecha, but it has extremely high mobility and defense capabilities, enough to compete with the sixth-generation medium-sized mecha. Ordinary soldiers drive ordinary models of Warrior Pioneers, while Hillard drives the Leader that is exactly the same as Grant, the commander of the special forces battalion. This is what he asked Nadal for. Nadal uses his private mecha, which has been professionally modified and equipped with many customized configurations, and its combat effectiveness is higher than that of standard mechas.

Another type is the two medium-sized anti-joint quadruped mechas used by the communications class. These two mechas, named [antennas] by the military, are mainly used to maintain contact with the rear and coordinate with the air force. In combat, the biggest role of this mecha is electromagnetic interference, which can cut off the communication between the enemy and attack radars, mecha computers, scanners, locators and other electronic equipment, paralyzing them or causing chaos.

The last type is the Fury-class heavy fire support mecha. A company is equipped with a total of four such mechas. Fury is also the seventh-generation mecha, a smaller version of the sixth-generation heavy mecha. The reduction in size brings an increase in strength. This mecha with a capacity of five people is equipped with a curved artillery, three energy machine guns, and a missile launcher. The fuselage is made of a more solid alloy, the external armor has extremely strong defense, and is equipped with a large energy shield. It can basically be said to be a mobile fortress with fierce firepower.

The fat man was originally equipped with a Warrior-class Pioneer, but he firmly refused. Therefore, the only private mecha in the company is Fatty's "Logic." The soldiers of the company were very impressed by the new deputy company commander who dared to play with his life and drive such a shabby mecha to the battlefield.

Fatty stared at Logic's scanner and radar, and there was no sign of enemy mecha around. However, this quiet mountain jungle will soon be filled with the swarming Gacharin Empire mecha. This area must be evacuated within ten minutes. The

airborne assembly of the company was swift and silent. Each of these battle-hardened special reconnaissance soldiers knew what to do and how to do it. The mechas with the boosters turned off silently approached Tian Xingjian's position in the jungle. Only when some larger mechas forced their way through the dense bushes would the sound of branches breaking be heard.

Two minutes after landing, Logic's mecha computer issued a crisp prompt that the company's two [Antenna], four [Rage], seventy-seven Warrior Pioneers, and one Warrior Leader had all arrived.

Fatty passed the command signal to Rashid through the mecha computer. Rashid waved his hand, and the mechas that gathered together immediately dispersed. Two mechas were in a group, one in front and one behind, and three groups in a row. The whole team became a long snake that could coil up at any time. There were scouts in front, behind and on both wings responsible for protection. The whole company marched quickly and rushed to the destination on the mecha electronic map.

About fifty kilometers west of the airdrop point, there was a blind spot scanned by a space spy satellite. This dark place on the satellite military map must have anti-detection jammers. This location is between two cities surrounded by the empire, thirty kilometers away from north to south, and there is a road passing by it. The most likely possibility is the enemy's air base.

Radar and electronic jamming facilities are generally not set up near roads, and the Federal Air Force has always suspected that this place was built when the enemy's giant transport ship landed and then converted into an air defense missile base. Because the missiles intercepted by the two cities in the north and south were launched from this direction several times, the federal military intelligence department initially judged this black spot as a mixed air force temporary airport plus a missile base. This judgment was enough to tempt a special company to attack it.

However, the fat man felt that this place was a bit strange. If it was really an air force or a missile base, no matter which one, the airborne would not be so smooth. But if it was not these two, what would it be?

Soon, the distance to the target was less than ten kilometers. The third platoon leader Jason led his platoon to stay and was responsible for the support force. They quickly formed a circular defense formation at the moment Rashid's order was issued. The scouts responsible for peripheral observation automatically entered the alert position 500 meters away. Tian Xingjian had been observing these subordinates who had only been together for a few hours since the beginning of the operation. The performance of these soldiers made him believe that he was in a well-trained team. These warriors who had been tempered by the fire showed a kind of silent determination, decisive judgment and swift action, and standard tactical actions without rigidity.

One [Antenna] and one [Rage] automatically broke away and stayed to cooperate with the defense. The others continued to move forward almost without stopping.

Once they enter the jammer range, they may encounter patrolling enemies at any time. Tian Xingjian and three Warrior Pioneers walked in the front. They had to ensure the safety of the team. Fatty chose a small hill in the southeast of the base, from which he could observe the entire base from a high vantage point.

Two platoons of special reconnaissance soldiers trusted Fatty's choice without reservation. They turned the mecha into stealth mode and followed the broken mecha in front of them. Everyone felt it was very strange. This mecha that emitted black smoke and made clanking noises during the day was now like a cat approaching its prey in the jungle, with soft and silent movements. If it were not for the close distance, they would have almost lost it. This broken mecha seemed to have merged into the jungle in the dark. This phenomenon made Fatty even more mysterious in their eyes.

Led by Fatty, they had penetrated into an area only about one kilometer away from the base. Along the way, the tattered mechas in the front occasionally emitted heavy particles that penetrated the hollow trees or holes, which were all enemy sentries. These sentries were killed silently in an instant. Without armor protection, their organs would be instantly destroyed by the penetration of heavy particles.

However, no one could have imagined that a heavy particle machine gun would appear in the hands of a mecha.

The special reconnaissance company soldiers following behind could not have imagined it either. They just felt that this journey was abnormally smooth. Logically speaking, five kilometers from the target was the shortest distance they usually launched a raid. The

enemy mecha patrol team appeared on the logical radar. This was a team composed of an Imperial Iceman 1 mecha and a squad of infantry. They were patrolling in a direction parallel to the base wall. Ten minutes later, this slow patrol team would reach the location where Fatty and his team were.

The base one kilometer away was still silent in the dark. There was no sound of fighter planes taking off, nor were there any transport ships taking off or landing. This did not conform to the characteristics of a battlefield airport. Whether to launch a strong attack was up to Rashid to decide.

The fat man stopped, raised his logical mechanical arm high, and clenched it into a fist.

After everyone hid, the signal was returned to Rashid.

One minute later.

The leader mecha issued an order for a full assault.
