Chapter 1240: A tragic victory, but with gains
Anthony discovered that his shot did not have the desired effect, but the robot dog with red light seemed to be activated by the shot.
"Boss, they are coming, damn, my shooting is ineffective, boss, you'd better prepare for artillery fire." Anthony shouted excitedly in the tree.
Since the opponent is not a human, it doesn’t matter whether he is exposed or not.
In fact, Anthony's shouting exposed a fact, that is, among all the villages in the world, there is only one village that has been fighting, has rich war experience, and is on the road to victory.
Except for the United States, other major powers have not experienced large-scale war for a long time.
Of course, it doesn’t count when you are a younger brother or a follower.
In other words, Luo Fen's men are not veterans who have experienced many battles.
"Gunners, get ready..." Luo Fen immediately gave the order based on the robot dog's distance coordinates provided by Anthony, "Fire..."
Everything!
Mortars flew into the sky one after another.
sizzle!
Bazookas were also firing at the edge of the woods.
The grass was then covered with shells, raising clouds of dust.
Now there is no need for Anthony to provide reconnaissance information, Luo Feng can use a telescope to see the situation on the battlefield by himself.
He found that there were not many robot dogs emitting red light, only about dozens of them, but these robot dogs were so agile that they could even dodge. This round of bombardment did not seem to have much effect.
"Site, you son of a bitch." Luo Fen cursed and shouted, "Keep firing, don't stop, cover our positions from a distance, everyone, get your grenades ready."
After another round of bombardment, the distance between the robot dogs was shortened to about three or four hundred meters, and their numbers seemed to have decreased a little.
At this time, Luo Fen saw that the gun barrel above the head of the robot dog that was advancing at high speed began to rotate slowly.
"Get down, fuck..."
"Da da da!"
Countless tongues of fire began to shoot from the grass into the woods, and the thinner trees in the woods were broken by bullets, like cut wheat.
Luo Fen's men were beaten so badly that they could not raise their heads, and only the mortars at the back were still firing.
More than 200 meters away, the firepower became even more intense.
"Shoot, shoot!" Luo Fen raised his head, grabbed the assault rifle and fired a grenade, "Let these ghosts rush in, we will all die."
The fear of death inspired the courage of this group of people, and they began to fight back despite being bulleted.
At this time, command seems to have lost its function. All that is left is to fire, reload, and continue firing, unless you die.
Almost half of Luo Fen's thirty men were killed within one minute of the firefight. The rate of casualties was horrifying and left almost no time for them to react or adjust.
Not to mention people like Luo Fen who had hardly fought in a war, even the unlucky soldiers at the Dam battlefield were unable to react in time and were beaten badly.
The robot dog carries a six-barreled Gatling machine gun with a capacity of 1000 rounds and 7.62mm bullets. Its terrifying firepower is too powerful for the flesh to withstand.
At one hundred and fifty meters, the number of robot dogs decreased, and the remaining robot dogs slowed down their firing speed. They no longer shot rapidly, but instead moved their heads and fired purposefully.
A dozen soldiers fighting against less than ten robot dogs, the outcome of their lives was uncertain.
Luo Fen was unable to raise his head after being hit by a volley of bullets. He was sad and desperate. He took out a grenade, pulled the fuse, counted the time silently, and threw it backwards, not caring whether it would hit the target or not.
The other soldiers started using grenades as the robot dog got closer.
After throwing all the grenades, Luo Fen noticed that there was no more gunfire on the grass.
"Boss, cough cough cough..." Anthony, who was hanging on the tree with a safety rope, coughed up blood and laughed miserably, "They ran away. It seems we won the fight."
He was hit in the leg by a volley of bullets. The observer was very unlucky and was knocked away. No sound could be heard at this time, so he was probably dead.
From Anthony's perspective, he could clearly see the entire battlefield.
From the opening of the shooting to the end, which took a few minutes, two-thirds of the people in a platoon were killed or wounded. If the robot dog had not retreated for unknown reasons, the result would be obvious: all of them would have died.
Luo Fen pulled his helmet and looked out, only to find that the red light on the grass was gone.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to stand up. He asked someone to count the troops. The final report was that twelve were killed and nine were injured.
"Phone..." Luo Fen waved his hand, then took out a cigarette and lit it with trembling hands, "You guys save them, I'll go get backup."
This battle has to be fought, and we can only call for support after it is over.
"Captain, this is Luo Fen. We suffered heavy casualties from the attack of the robot dogs..." He heard intense gunfire on the phone, and it was obvious that they were also fighting.
"I'm Steve from Company B. The captain of Company C has been killed. You are under my command. You have no backup. You need to continue moving forward according to the plan... What? The robot dogs retreated, and you messed up the robot dogs' remains?"
"Yes, we will escort the wreckage back immediately."
Luo Fen was freed and didn't have to move forward.
But that night, Brute's troops suffered a terrible defeat. His 36th Brigade fought for two hours, and finally reinforcements arrived, but... the enemy retreated and disappeared mysteriously again, as if they had never been there.
If it weren't for the pile of captured wreckage and the camp full of wounded soldiers, there would be no proof that the enemy had been there.
Brute and his troops eventually achieved his strategic goal and "recaptured" Birmingham at daybreak.
In the morning sun, Brute set up camp at the place where Zeng Wangcai had set up camp before, and part of the troops entered the city to count the losses in the city.
Brute himself, while asking the communications and logistics departments to count war-related data, was also collecting the "captured" remains of the robot dog.
At around eight o'clock, a pile of scrap metal was piled up on the open space.
All the robot dogs were smashed to pieces, and it was impossible to count their exact number.
There is no way. Gun bullets rarely cause fatal damage to robot dogs.
Brute picked up a relatively intact robot dog and studied it for a long time, but couldn't find a single Chinese character. He then went to look for the junk, but still found nothing.
"Mr. President!" Brute called Sister Mei to report the results of the battle. "After a night of fierce fighting, our troops won a tragic victory and successfully recaptured Birmingham. Birmingham is relatively well preserved. Under our attack, the enemy had to flee in panic. Our troops suffered heavy casualties. The 36th Brigade completely lost its combat effectiveness and faced reconstruction... But our troops also gained something. We seized a large number of enemy robot dogs... Yes, I'll send someone to deliver them to you right away."
......
The Land Rover was speeding on Highway 42. Xiaobao was driving, while Zeng Wangcai and Zhang Xiuzhi were sitting in the back.
Among them, Zeng Wangcai was holding equipment in his hands and watching the news. He was now preparing to leave the southwest of the country and go to the north. He would move to another place after each shot. It would be unsafe to stay in one place for too long.
And after such a long time, almost everything that should be collected has been collected.
"Brother, I'm afraid of death on this journey. Pah, Pas, this crappy name is really hard to say." Little Leopard complained, "It's a bit far, why should we go there?"
"I want to take advantage of you. There are many mines over there. You can open your mines..." Zeng Wangcai saw the press conference hosted by Sister Mei herself. Sister Mei was showing the wreckage to reporters from various countries. "What is this guy saying? It's all broken into pieces. How can it still be useful?"
