From Cannon Fodder to Sweeping Across Thousands of Stars

Chapter 42 Our Warriors Are Fighting the Enemy

When the ultra-short wave reconnaissance jammer began to interfere with the Empire's drones.

In the Empire troops besieging the village, two drone operators immediately found that they had lost control of the drones.

The remote control signal and image transmission signal all disappeared. Although the position of the drone could still be roughly observed with the naked eye, it was completely impossible to issue instructions to it.

Soon, as the uncontrolled drone flew farther and farther in a certain direction according to the last transmitted instruction.

The drone operator completely lost track of the drone.

"Sir, someone interfered with our drone!"

After hearing the report from the drone operator, the platoon leader of this Imperial Orbital Paratrooper Reinforced Platoon, Lieutenant Andrew of the Star Dragon Empire Royal Navy, immediately judged that it should be the support force of the Federal Army. (Orbital Paratroopers belong to the Royal Marines)

Due to their manpower, they were also somewhat stretched for siege operations.

So in order to concentrate their forces to take down the village, Andrew also did not set up a security team responsible for vigilance and cover.

Such a risky and radical plan led to the loss of their two cruising drones, and the orbital paratrooper platoon directly lost the reconnaissance control around the offensive area.

At the same time, since the other party has the ability to quickly interfere with two drones, it means that they should have high-power electronic jamming equipment.

And it is very likely an electronic jamming vehicle.

The federal troops currently surrounded in the village did not find such equipment in their preliminary reconnaissance.

Otherwise, they would not have allowed their drones to scout in the sky for so long.

This means that this round of interference can only come from other troops.

According to Lieutenant Andrew's "experience", this type of vehicle will definitely not appear alone.

So this federal reinforcement is probably a mechanized unit.

Andrew, who realized that the situation was not good, was about to issue an order to let the frontal attacking troops shrink and switch to a defensive posture.

He found that the communication of the entire platoon was completely interrupted, and only "rustling" white noise was left in the radio.

The tactical mask also popped up a prompt [Electronic interference detected, communication blocked! ] .

This orbital paratrooper platoon leader was following the "Holy Spirit" light multi-legged tank and slowly advancing under the sound of the electrothermal chemical gun.

He immediately made a sign to the signalman 10 meters to the right.

The latter looked at his platoon leader as soon as the communication was disturbed.

Andrew's sign was simple, "Notify everyone, switch to a defensive posture immediately!"

After receiving the instruction, the signalman left the attacking team and ran to notify others.

Two roars suddenly sounded behind him, and Andrew turned his head sharply.

He saw that the rear of the attacking team was quickly covered by the smoke emitted by the anti-infrared smoke bomb.

According to the combat instructions issued by Amber in advance, the electronic warfare technician completed the interference of the drone and waited until the time node of 'H+8'.

He immediately operated the vehicle-mounted electronic warfare module, obtained the enemy's communication frequency band based on electronic reconnaissance, and turned on the ultra-short wave interference.

In a short period of time, all the imperial soldiers using ultra-short wave communication were suppressed.

At the same time, two indirect fire groups had been deployed, according to Amber's markings on the tactical map.

Each fired an anti-infrared smoke bomb towards the target area.

Since it was only firing smoke bombs to cover the infantry attack, it only needed to hit the general area.

So there is no need for calibration.

But after firing this round of smoke bombs, the next target became the enemy mortar position located by the reconnaissance drone.

After quickly adjusting the bracket and resetting the angle and direction of the barrel.

The two indirect fire groups, at the command of one of the group's gunners, fired the first 120mm high-explosive bomb at the same time.

While the anti-infrared smoke bomb fired by the indirect fire group pulled out a large cloud of smoke.

The two mobile infantry squads in a triangular attack formation also crossed the attack starting line drawn by Amber at the time of ‘H+8’.

At this time, they were 852 meters away from the frontal attack force of the empire.

But the target of these two mobile infantry squads and the ‘Mongoose 4’ as fire support was not these imperial orbital infantry.

Instead, it was the mortar position at a straight distance of 438 meters in front of the left, and the ‘Holy Spirit’ multi-legged chariot in indirect fire mode.

After watching the assault team rush across the 1-meter-wide ‘white line’.

Amber, who was in optical stealth mode and hiding behind the ridge of the field, issued the command of "charge" in the command module.

"Swish!"

The sharp sound of the "simulated charge whistle" came to the ears of Private Ryan.

He knew that it was the command of the team's commander, Warrant Officer Amber, the psychic agent who rescued them from the ambush.

According to the order in the combat plan and details issued to all members of the assault team before the war.

Ryan immediately increased the output power of the exoskeleton, and the speed of 18 mobile infantrymen including him increased sharply.

"Huhu. Command: Combat stimulant injection!"

As Ryan panted while running, he issued the command through the voice control device.

The built-in injection device of the "Sabertooth Tiger Type 2" single-soldier medium exoskeleton injected him with 8mg of amphetamine injection by intramuscular injection.

The specially modulated injection acted on the cerebral cortex and brainstem reticular formation in a short time, which made Ryan feel a kind of mental excitement.

This kind of mental excitement was quickly reflected in his body movements.

Ryan, who was already running at high speed, increased his speed again, and at the same time, the distance he ran with each step also increased significantly.

The 18 members of the assault team naturally acted according to the combat plan and were injected with combat stimulants.

The running speed completely exceeded that of ordinary people. With the addition of the exoskeleton, they seemed to be a gust of wind and quickly ran hundreds of meters.

Ryan saw that the squad leader, who was 10 meters in front of him on the right, had the structure on his back shoulder unfolded to reveal the electromagnetic projection track inside.

In the projection track, a plasma grenade with a circle of green rings printed on the body had been loaded.

The soldiers on the Imperial mortar position and the "Holy Spirit" light multi-legged chariot in the indirect mode actually noticed something wrong when the communication was interrupted.

Unfortunately, they were still a little late.

"Zi——! Bang!"

Power on, charge, and launch!

The four mobile infantrymen equipped with electromagnetic projection devices instantly threw out the plasma grenades on the rails.

The four ‘cuties’ who had set up the detonation program were quickly ejected into the air above the mortar position.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Several bright blue-white fireballs rose from the mortar position.
