Section 28 Seizing the Priesthood 5
Another wave of enemy attacks was repelled.
The remains of the battlefield were covered with meat, but there was no smell of blood. In fact, these corpses were weathering, turning into tiny particles, and eventually turning into a wisp of smoke and dust, disappearing into the air.
Their armor has no resistance to heavy machine gun bullets - but you can't expect too much in this regard. Because heavy machine guns, even ordinary bulletproof equipment on the earth cannot be stopped. In fact, it is only a matter of resurrection, and it is troublesome to be able to learn enough experience and lessons from the last death! During the first attack, these holy spirits were arranged in a formation and moved forward slowly, just like straw to easily be wiped out by the cross firepower of heavy machine guns. But now, they have learned to bend down and run quickly.
There are only a few Holy Spirits remaining on the battlefield, and it is only a matter of time before the final battle with the Immortal Legion fails.
Yiji breathed a sigh of relief and put down the red machine gun that had been shot at the gun. He didn't need his support to go on the field for the time being.
Normally, a machine gun team requires two to three people, but they are one person and one group here.
Based on previous combat experience, they will have battlefield rest time ranging from five to fifteen minutes, which can be used to restore their tired body and mind.
This fatigue is not caused by exercise - they are wearing exoskeleton armor, which contains advanced artificial muscle systems, which can greatly reduce the burden of human strength - but because of the fatigue caused by killing.
Yiji opened the exoskeleton armor and walked out from it. A hand came over from behind him. Yiji looked back and saw Thomas. He did not refuse, and silently took the cigarette, took out the lighter from his pocket, and lit it for Thomas first.
Their employers are very generous in this regard, cigarettes, drinks, etc., and they can get as much as they want. Of course, they are even more generous in terms of weapons and equipment. However, the facts proved that the initial judgment was correct, and heavy machine guns were the best weapon in this war.
"What does it feel?" asked Thomas.
"Well, I now know what Hanscat soldiers felt during World War I, during the Battle of the Somme. In that battle, they killed 100,000 people a day."
"One hundred thousand? Shouldn't it be sixty thousand?" Thomas asked in confusion.
"No matter it is tens of thousands, one hundred thousand, sixty thousand or eighty thousand, it is almost the same," Yiji took a vicious breath of cigarette. "It is said that when he hit the back, some Hanscat soldiers refused to shoot. Because it was not a battle, it was a massacre."
"It's not right now!" said Thomas. "They have learned the formation of scattered soldiers without any instruction. There was a group there just now that the movements were great, and even if the regular United States Army was doing it, it would not be better... The only thing we are lucky is that they did not suppress the firepower from a long range."
If there is long-range suppression of firepower, they will not be able to survive this wave.
Yiji looked at the Bone Fortress behind with a blurred look. The corpses of killed undead creatures were constantly transported into the fortress on the front line, and then at least part of them returned to their front line with staggering steps. Around the Bone Fortress, the strong negative energy condensed into a red light, making people feel something was wrong all over their body from a distance.
Although the Holy Spirits are as fragile as white flowers in the wind under the machine gun bullets, they are still very hard in front of the undead creatures. Basically, they can easily cause two or three times the casualties. If it is a team that cooperates with each other, they can even make an exchange of more than one to five. However, considering that both seem to be resurrected infinitely, no one cares about their casualties and results.
"However, they really don't need long-range firepower." Thomas said, pointing a little further away.
There, lightning was shining, and a powerful Holy Spirit rushed into the battle formation of the undead creatures.
Specifically, he had already broken through the battle formation, and in a blink of an eye, he had broken through the defense of the undead creatures and rushed towards the other side.
There are two and three major machine gun positions.
Four Earthlings, including Yiji, were divided into four machine gun positions on the left and right. The task was to use heavy machine guns to provide fire support from a condescending manner and kill the enemy in large quantities. Therefore, they became the targets for those strong enemies to pay attention to.
The guy rushed over and was covered in lightning. He looked familiar. In fact, this was not the first time it broke through the front line.
Last time, he was torn into pieces by the cross firepower formed by four machine guns. Last time, although he avoided the cross firepower and wanted to attack the undead commander, he was beaten up by a group of powerful undead creatures. This time, it indeed broke through the enemy formation, and seemed to want to kill two and three kids, at least destroy their firepower positions.
But now Thomas and Ichiki can face all this with a relatively calm attitude.
Well, in addition to machine guns, four people also have electromagnetic guns, missiles and bazooka - this is the benefit of exoskeleton armor, and it is easy to use anything. But in fact it is not just this.
The lizardman appeared in front of the lightning creature for no reason.
The lizard men have always been mingling behind, with no other armed forces except a long sword in their hand, and they look completely inconspicuous. However, when the eyes are facing each other, the four mercenaries can detect the stunning cold light deep in the other person's eyes.
Now, it turns out that they were not mistaken. Because at this moment, he faced this creature with no fear, which was as fast as a Ferrari sports car, but still could not match the speed of the lizardman swinging his sword.
With a sword swing, the Holy Spirit covered in thunder instantly turned into two halves. The undead front that was broken up in front made up for the gap again, and the fallen undead were brought to the bone fortress behind by some guys who looked like spiders. They would soon wake up again, and with their more broken bodies, they staggered back into their queue.
This wave of attacks ends here.
But the next wave is about to begin soon - Thomas has seen it very clearly. The gap between the two waves of offensives is about ten to fifteen minutes. If the time period is, the force will be slightly less, and if there is enough time, the force will be more. On average, the enemy's force will be about ten thousand people per wave, and they have launched six attacks so far.
It was only an hour before they had killed 60,000 enemies, and the battle here was twenty times more intense than the Battle of the Somme!
The ability to achieve such efficient killing is of course firstly due to the killing tool made by the earth - heavy machine guns, and secondly, due to the enemy's obvious lack of necessary preparations for high-tech civilizations to participate in the war. In fact, in the first wave of offensive, there was almost no melee battle between the two sides. However, in the sixth wave just now, some of their troops caused considerable casualties to the undead legion in front of them.
These guys can not only be resurrected, but also quickly learn the necessary lessons from previous deaths.
This break is very short.
"They are here!" Thomas looked at the end, and the Holy Spirit had already appeared on the horizon. These Holy Spirits were arranged in relatively neat formations, and then stopped at the end of the effective range of the heavy machine gun. Or at the end of the field of vision.
"These guys... have been able to correctly judge the effective range of the machine gun. Unfortunately, what they estimate is not enough." Thomas said, looking at the battle formation of the enemy in the distance.
"Photshoot!" Yiji also understood immediately.
Point the muzzle at the sky forty-five degrees to shoot, and you can conduct an out-of-visual range attack. This is the shooting tactic that appeared during World War I on Earth. There are not many modern things to do, but this time they are facing opponents from the cold weapon era.
Before they started doing it, gunfire on the other side was already like fried beans. It seems that Erji and Sanji had thought of this method one step ahead of time.
Bullets volleyed out of the air and would be thrown on the enemy's head, causing terrible damage.
They originally thought that they would immediately cause obvious chaos in the enemy's formation, but the facts proved not as simple as expected.
The continuous projection of the machine gun did not seem to cause any damage.
Thomas and Yiji exchanged doubtful gazes with each other. One person jumped into his exoskeleton armor and activated the optical sensing device attached to the exoskeleton armor to check the situation there. The other person picked up a new telescope on the spot and observed it on the spot.
The killing effect of these bullets can be clearly seen in the telescope: but when the bullet falls from the sky, you can see that the space where it hits will be twisted, like ripples and hot air. It is an invisible wall, and the bullet will exhaust the kinetic energy on this wall and eventually turn into a harmless metal projectile.
"No..." Thomas murmured.
This is the battlefield of the gods, a different world space that they know very little. At the beginning, I thought that modern weapons on Earth were very effective, but now it seems... it is actually that. At the beginning, it was because the other party was not familiar with it.
"Hey, how can I fight this?" Yiji asked in the mechanical armor.
The enemy's phalanx over there began to move forward slowly. Obviously they had confirmed that the bullets would not take effect and restored this formation.
They also knew very well that the straggler formation could not break through the undead creatures in front of them, after all, they could also be resurrected infinitely.
"Try it with other weapons!"
The employer left them with a lot of weapons, guns, missiles, and ammunition was sufficient. At least it was the spoils obtained by looting a Maple Leaf Country military base.
The most basic ability to be a mercenary is to be proficient in operating a variety of weapons and equipment. Those who can only use guns cannot be mercenaries.
A single-soldier missile drew a trajectory in the air and hit the distant local formation. When the explosion smoke dissipated and looked over again, a large gap had been dug in the enemy's battle formation before. It is estimated that this shot would destroy at least dozens of enemies!
However, the enemies behind immediately filled the gap.
On the other hand, they also opened fire. They did not use missiles, but electromagnetic rifles. The lethality of this weapon is not as simple as heavy machine gun bullets.
Sure enough, the machine guns and electromagnetic cannons were blocked there. In the relatively dense cold weapon array, the electromagnetic rifle produced terrible damage. It was estimated that at least more than ten people had penetrated. A gap was made in front of the entire array.
The square formation continued to advance slowly without waveringly.
"The power of all ranged weapons has been greatly reduced," Thomas said. "The same goes for explosion!"
The power of missiles is actually very great. If the air waves of normal explosions are not to mention people, even vehicles can fly, and ordinary fortresses can penetrate. But this time there is no such situation in the enemy formation.
Their weapons kept firing, and there was a missile in a few dozen seconds. In addition, the electromagnetic rifle did not stop at all.
The square array is slowly approaching. From the speed, it can be judged that it takes about ten minutes to reach this side, or maybe twenty minutes! Because they seem to be moving forward slowly, but in fact they are not slow, almost as fast as ordinary people running.
The only problem is... Unlike heavy machine guns that spray dozens of bullets in one second (each bullet can hit multiple enemies), the rate of fire of both missiles and electromagnetic rifles is limited.
Of course, it would be enough on Earth. No normal army can withstand such casualties. Before they enter the war, their morale will completely collapse.
But this time, it is an enemy that can be resurrected. And it is a square formation of ten thousand people after all. The so-called "university" is boundless, and the loss of dozens or hundreds of people seems to have no effect on them.
What's worse is that, as the approach is approaching, the resurrected enemies will be supplemented from the rear to maintain the integrity of their formation.
"Damn it! Their defense is still increasing!" Thomas realized that the situation was really wrong.
Their firepower effect is getting weaker and weaker. Now the lethality of missiles is like a grenade, and the lethality of electromagnetic rifles is like a sniper rifle. It is not that grenades and sniper rifles cannot kill people, but their lethality is significantly weakened.
"The situation is better than expected, please work hard!" A voice suddenly sounded. The four of them noticed it. When they turned around, the sound came from the pavilion called "Basic Point" in the rear.
"So it was the bear giving orders... Where is our employer? It seems to have run away?" Thomas said softly.
"Well, the order he gave us was here for three hours." Yiji replied. "At first I thought it was a very simple task. Now it seems to be redundant..."
The enemy's phalanx is still approaching. It is almost the speed of ordinary people running. The enemy who can't see the edge at first glance ignores the casualties and rushes towards this side like an unstoppable tide.
"Are there two hours left... can you stick to it?" asked Thomas.
"If you can't stick to the end, there seems to be no place to escape here, right?" Yiji replied. "Madan, it's really hard to get a subsidy of hundreds of thousands of US dollars. I must remember this lesson next time... If there is another time!"
"Hey, can you tell me where is better than expected?" Thomas shouted to the back.
"They spent a lot of strength to defend your weapons." Although Thomas didn't expect to answer, in fact, the other side replied immediately. "This reduces the strength of melee combat. More importantly,... there seems to be no particularly strong enemy."
