Chapter 25 The Power of Steel Needle Bullets

In fact, with the exoskeleton, the mortar can be fully deployed and fired by a single soldier.

Especially when there are not enough people, one more person on the front line can add a Gauss rifle and grenade launcher firepower.

However, the Imperial Orbital Paratroopers still arranged another guard soldier in a relatively rigid manner according to the combat regulations.

This is also the characteristic of the Imperial Army. They will strictly abide by the combat regulations under any circumstances.

Even though they have been tricked by the Federation several times because of this habit, they have not corrected it.

The soldier in charge of the guard was carefully guarding the surroundings with a gun.

Because the terminal carried by the medium exoskeleton has less computing power than the power armor.

Therefore, the picture of the low-light night vision observation device in the face armor has not been supplemented.

The soldier scanned the surroundings and found that there was nothing abnormal in the night vision mode, so he switched the observation mode to infrared mode.

When the picture in the face armor became black and white after switching.

He saw a heat source behind a boulder 150 meters away.

"Hmm?"

The imperial soldier immediately raised the muzzle, and the HUD's ray indicator also synchronously moved the Gauss rifle's ray over.

Unfortunately, he was still a step late.

As the heat source in the picture suddenly flashed, a 12mm steel needle bullet accelerated to 2,800 meters per second penetrated the connection between the visor and the chest armor in an instant.

The huge kinetic energy broke the neck of the orbital paratrooper.

"Pop!"

Until the headless corpse fell to the ground, the explosion of the steel needle bullet cutting through the air alarmed another soldier who was carrying the shell.

But he didn't even have time to turn around, and the second steel needle bullet followed.

Almost hitting the same part, under the huge kinetic energy damage, the human tissue above the soldier's neck was completely torn apart.

A moment later, with a strange phenomenon of air distortion under the moonlight, Amber's figure appeared at the edge of the mortar position.

He examined the Gauss sniper rifle in his hand, named "Ghost", which is specially used by psychic agents.

Sacrificing the ability to fire fully automatically and a larger size than ordinary Gauss rifles.

In exchange, it has a more powerful motor and a higher muzzle velocity.

There are not too many tactical accessories on the slender gun.

In addition to the folded tripod, there is a multifunctional sight on the receiver that is not small in size.

Tactical accessories such as suppressors do not make much sense for Gauss rifles with too fast initial velocity and even sonic booms.

The entire gun, including the tripod and the sight, is covered with a black coating similar to rubber texture.

This is the same synthetic cell coating as the surface of the psychic agent's combat uniform and exoskeleton.

In order to make the optical stealth of psychic agents more thorough.

The equipment development department spared no effort to add this precious coating to all equipment related to psychic agents.

This will prevent the embarrassing scene of a sniper rifle "floating" in the air after the psychic agent activates the optical stealth.

After confirming that the two Imperial Orbital Paratroopers with nothing above their necks will not get up again.

Amber carried the Ghost sniper rifle on her back and squatted beside the 120mm mortar.

This mortar made of special alloy has a caliber of 120mm.

But its weight is not too heavy, and a single soldier equipped with an exoskeleton can run with it.

It is also the easiest accompanying fire support for infantry.

Therefore, the ground forces of the Empire and the Federation are equipped with a large number of such weapons.

A small artillery terminal is attached to the bracket of the mortar in front of Amber.

Soldiers only need to set the shooting coordinates on the terminal, and the terminal will automatically calculate the trajectory and give the parameters for adjusting the gun body.

And now the screen of this terminal is showing the electronic topographic map of this area.

After connecting with the personal terminals of other orbital paratroopers in the team through the data link, the real-time positions of other soldiers are marked with green triangles of "friendly units".

And in the valley, there are a bunch of red triangles marked as "enemy units".

At this moment, after discovering that the vital signs of two teammates have disappeared.

Three green triangles representing the Imperial Orbital Paratroopers were moving towards this side.

Knowing that time was running out, Amber quickly clicked a few times on the terminal and moved the mortar's target to the side of the Imperial soldiers on the valley side.

After calculation, the artillery terminal quickly gave the corresponding adjustment parameters.

Although Amber was not from an artillery unit, whether in the game or in the real world.

But he often played land battles in the game, and he also fiddled with this kind of mortar.

After adjusting the mortar's firing direction and angle at a speed not inferior to that of a professional mortar gunner.

Amber took out a 120mm high-explosive bomb from the ammunition box next to him.

The special coating in front of the warhead told Amber that this mortar shell also had a terminal guidance function.

However, Amber did not need this function. The area killing range of the high-explosive bomb was enough to cover the ambush point of the Imperial soldiers.

After stuffing half of the shell into the muzzle, Amber took a deep breath.

Then he let go and let the shell slide into the barrel by gravity.

At the same time, the whole person turned around and squatted down.

Although the full-coverage tactical face armor has the function of noise reduction and sound insulation.

But because the distance was too close, Amber still subconsciously opened his mouth.

"Boom!"

With the dull sound of the barrel, this powerful mortar shell flew into the sky with a high-throw curve.

A moment later, the loud sound of the high-explosive shell exploding came from a distance.

But Amber didn't have time to confirm the killing effect now.

He adjusted the shooting direction according to the prompts of the terminal, and fired a high-explosive shell at the imperial soldiers on the other side of the valley.

After doing all this, Amber activated the optical stealth again and disappeared from the mortar position.

Soon, several imperial orbital paratroopers in a "pin" formation surrounded him.

After seeing the two headless bodies on the mortar position and the muzzle still emitting hot steam, the soldiers at the front secretly thought it was not good.

The next second, the steel needle bullet that broke through the air hit the armor plate on his chest.

With the huge kinetic energy, the tungsten alloy steel needle bullet not only penetrated the hard silicon carbide armor plate, but also knocked him back.

The other two soldiers, in the panic of their teammates being attacked, found that they did not find the enemy in the low-light night vision screen.

Then they suddenly realized and switched to infrared imaging mode.

At the same time, one of them shouted in the communication channel:

"Everyone pay attention, we are attacked by optical stealth targets, turn on infrared"

But before he could finish, another steel needle bullet directly blew his head.

And the last soldier, at the moment when the infrared imaging switch was completed.

He saw a human-shaped heat source rushing towards him like a monster right in front of him.
