Chapter 813 The Attack Was Frustrated

Qi Lin took a step back and used the energy shield to forcefully knock open the two power armors behind him, roasting the soldiers inside the power armors into cooked meat.

He had to withdraw. If he didn't withdraw, after the energy was exhausted, the Revolutionary Alliance's armored forces would be able to pile him up here alive even if they used human sea tactics.

There are still a large number of heavy infantry trapped in the enemy formation, but at this time, the only thing Qi Lin can do is wish them good luck...

"Retreat! Old Zhao, detonate the explosives directly!" Qi Lin shouted at the communicator.

"knew."

Zhao Weiju gritted his teeth and waved his hand vigorously——

"boom!!!"

A huge explosion sounded, and in an instant, a large amount of smoke and dust enveloped almost half of the battlefield, followed by a dense and chaotic sound of falling gravel.

This was a back-up plan that Qi Lin and Zhao Weiju had made long ago. They buried a large number of explosives under the load-bearing walls of the buildings in the border blocks. If the attack was blocked and they needed to retreat, they would have people detonate these explosives and destroy the block. All the buildings collapsed, and the collapsed rubble and ruins of the buildings were used to block the pursuing enemies.

The smoke slowly dispersed, and Qi Lin had already retreated to the road. The remaining fuel was less than 10%. Qi Lin had to take the initiative to turn off the energy shield, but at this time, even the beam saber in his hand began to appear. There were signs of instability, the light blade was bright and dim, and its length began to gradually shorten.

At the other end of the street, the collapsed building had completely blocked the retreat, but Quake jumped over the ruins with just a slight jump and caught up with the retreating Alliance troops.

As for the old-fashioned power armor of the Revolutionary Alliance, they do not have the mobility of Thor's hammer, and it is impossible to jump over these obstacles.

Qi Lin and Zhao Weiju quickly retreated to the second block and began to use modular armor plates to build temporary barricades. They did not have much time. Collapsed houses and broken masonry could not stop the Revolutionary Alliance for long. After clearing this area, When planting ruins, power armor is much more efficient than humans.

"Old Zhao, what are the casualties?" Qi Lin found two brand-new fuel rods from the supply box, inserted them into the Thor's Hammer reactor, and then threw the two spent fuel rods that emitted strong radiation. Arriving at the ruins on the opposite side.

Although this little radiation may not necessarily cause much hindrance to the Revolutionary Alliance's troops, it is at least better than nothing. Anyway, if he doesn't throw it away, Qi Lin will have to find a way to deal with the radioactive waste himself.

"Twenty-six of my men died and 11 were seriously injured. Seven of them had to be sent to the field hospital immediately, otherwise they would be dead. Not to mention minor injuries, the number is unclear, but the heavy infantry troops... …”

Having said this, Zhao Weiju paused and sighed heavily.

"Only one-third of the heavy infantry returned..."

one third? Although Qi Lin was already prepared, this number still made him a little shocked.

In just a few minutes of fighting, more than two hundred well-trained and well-equipped heavy infantry were left on the battlefield forever...

Needless to say, the fate of those heavy infantry who retreated to this side of the street before detonating the explosives can be basically guessed.

"No, the other side has a well-organized armored force. We are definitely no match for it. We must ask the superiors to bring in an armored force. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to capture the southern middle area, but even the Eagle Station may be threatened." Qi Lin said that powered armor is generally used on ground battlefields as fire support and vanguard troops. Its status is not much different from that of tanks. However, when a large number of powered armors gather together, the torrent of steel formed is It is enough to wipe out any enemy position without permanent fortifications.

During World War II, there were several large-scale tank battles. In such battles, infantry fighting on foot had almost no sense of existence...

In the absence of air force and artillery support, only armored clusters of the same size can contend with such a torrent of steel.

"Armored troops... don't think about it. If there were still armored troops that could be dispatched, they would have been dispatched long ago. Otherwise, it would be impossible to give us a heavy infantry unit as a substitute." Zhao Weiju shook his head with a wry smile. He shook his head. The battle on the frontal battlefield was much more intense than here. It was impossible for organizations and alliances to transfer troops from the frontal battlefield to support the side lines.

Powered armor is very expensive to build. A standard version of the "Bird-Eating Spider" can carry six sets of heavy infantry equipment or more than thirty sets of light infantry equipment, and the resources for producing power armor have always been limited. It's very tight. After several consecutive battles, many power armor production lines under the control of the Alliance have been forced to stop due to shortage of materials. Only after the power armor scrapped on the front line is transported back and dismantled can it be Be able to obtain enough materials.

The disassembly process is not like the "one-click disassembly of equipment" in online games. Many parts of the scrapped power armor have been completely deformed and damaged. At least 30% of the parts need to be remanufactured after being disassembled. Casting, this all takes time, and what is most lacking for organizations and alliances now is time.

In addition to the shortage of power armor, not just anyone can be a pilot to operate power armor. A civilian who has never touched a gun can be sent to the battlefield after a week of emergency training. , but if you want to become a pilot, you must complete a full training course that lasts for two and a half months - and this course is still a castrated version that cuts out many aspects of maintenance, repair and principles. Even so, it is It takes at least three months for a famous pilot to obtain a "driver's license".

"Can't you piece together an equipment unit to make up the numbers? Look at the power armors of the Revolutionary Alliance. They are basically dusty old goods taken out of the warehouse, covered with rust. As for the pilots, I dare say they At most, I only learned the basic operations, so that the pilot training course can be compressed from two and a half months to three weeks." Qi Lin said quickly.

"I also know that the other party is a half-hearted person, but I have no way to convince the people above to train such a half-hearted armored force to support us. And you also said that it will take three weeks to train a group of half-hearted people. We Do you have three weeks?"
