Chapter 2858 Military March (5)
Walking past the corpses and debris on the ground, Hayes stared at the young soldiers with one eye.
"What does the battlefield discipline say? It is forbidden to pick up all the enemy's tissues, organs and weapons and equipment without permission. Do you know what the consequences will be if you are discovered? Fortunately, the company instructor has not come down yet. If he is discovered, you know what the consequences will be. "
These young people were a little embarrassed when he said this.
“Company Commander, we are just curious and want to collect it”
"Collect? Shut it!"
Hayes kicked away half of a genestealer's body.
"These aliens are poisonous all over their bodies! How do you think these farmers got infected? If you are infected, the end result will be a shot, you know!"
Being so affected by him When frightened, all the boys turned pale, and Hayes shook his head.
“Go back! I’m leaving soon!”
"Yes, yes!"
Just when Hayes turned around, an ornithopter flew over the manor and landed in the designated area under Hayes' gaze. Then the hatch opened and a large " The petals were scattered to the ground.
The ultimate goal of this suppressive operation is to evacuate the people who have not been infected by the gene stealers. Therefore, in addition to key cities, the combat command has also set up many safe zones in some small towns to evacuate large numbers of scattered people. The manor's population, but the gathered population naturally attracted the attention of the gene stealers. They continued to attack and harass the empire's rescue team, and would also gather in large numbers to attack the safe zone. In this case, the command formulated a blockade plan In addition to using unmanned aerial vehicles and ornithopters to conduct long-term aerial surveillance patrols, in order to compress the scope of activities of the gene stealers, the command also decided to spread a large number of unique miniature anti-personnel mines.
This weapon was made by Roglis, the forging master of the Chapter, based on the Chapter's many years of combat experience and some of his personal understandings. Its characteristics are that it is small, with a length of no more than 100 mm. It is also very unique. There is a tubular main body in the middle, and there are two rounded short wings on both sides, one thick and one thin. The thick wings contain liquid explosives. The entire shell of the mine body is made of a softer material. The triggering mechanism is also very simple. Once the projectile is under pressure, it is easy to deform. When the liquid explosive container in the thick wing is under pressure, it will be squeezed into the central tube through the opening at the bottom of the ready piston, pushing the piston at the upper part of the tube. Ascending, the two steel balls that originally resisted the firing pin separated to the left and right, releasing the firing pin to strike the flash cap, thus detonating the explosive charge inside and detonating the entire mine. The left and right sides of the thin short wings allowed the mine to be deployed during the deployment. Land at a slower speed.
The reason for this is that this fuze is very sensitive. The container part of the mine body will detonate as long as it is subjected to a pressure of about 5kg, so it is very difficult to release. Although the 30g charge cannot kill, it has certain protection. target, but it has enough lethality for small units without any protection. More importantly, the structure of this mine is very simple, and the materials are very cheap. Just a small factory in Ulan Huda has an annual output of It can reach the tens of billions level casually.
However, there are also company commanders of the battle group who are skeptical of this weapon, not because of its capabilities, but because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this kind of landmine is obviously not aimed at a "military target", and even a green-skinned boy may be exploded. It is not translated, but it is an extremely terrifying threat to civilians.
In other words, this is more like a "riot control weapon", and its main application range seems to be suitable for those insurgent areas.
However, Soshyan saw the value in it. It was cheap and plentiful. It was very suitable for dealing with the Tyranid "sea of insects" or planets where large-scale rebellions broke out. When it was sown in large numbers, it could be established. A death blockade, thereby restricting enemy movement.
So this weapon quickly entered the army's arsenal and was named the Rogris anti-infantry mine. However, because it looked like petals when falling from the sky, it was also called a petal mine. , and some warriors jokingly called it Rogris' death gift.
While the ornithopter was still spreading petal mines, Hayes had already arrived on the armored vehicle. When he looked at the mansion, he took a deep breath of the lit cigar and snapped his fingers. As the three soldiers lit the flamethrowers, the entire mansion was soon engulfed in raging fire. It was not that Hayes liked to cause destruction, but that was the requirement from above. Anything that could not be taken away would be burned and not given to the gene stealers. Leave nothing behind.
In the co-pilot position of the rickety Taurus off-road vehicle, Hayes was holding a cigarette and checking the battle report on the data board. There were no casualties, but two unlucky guys were flown in from nowhere. The bullets were scratched, but the ammunition consumption was relatively large, especially for mortars and howitzers. One-third of the grenades were also consumed, and more than half of the machine gun bullets were consumed. The light weapons were okay, after all, they did not fight for too long.
Didi——
Suddenly, a blast of horns interrupted his concentration. Hayes turned his head and saw that a Taurus off-road vehicle was driving alongside him at some point. A smiling face appeared behind the car window.
“How is it?”
Seeing that it was another company commander in the regiment, Hayes put down the data tablet and shook his head helplessly.
“Everyone was gone, and the whole family fell into the belly of the gene stealers. We were also fished by those aliens. They used an empty manor to lure us into the bait. Fortunately, the walls were quite high there, so there was no Something happened."
"Wow, is it so dangerous? There are no casualties, right?"
"Fortunately, no, what about you?"
The company commander pointed. later.
"Isn't this all here?"
Hayes stretched out his head and saw a civilian truck. It could be seen that it was used on this planet. It was also emitting black smoke. There was a group of people on the back of the truck. There were people, both men and women, old and young. A middle-aged man wearing a black tuxedo and a top hat was blowing his beard in the air and staring. There were several ladies beside him who were wiping their tears. There were also a dozen young men and women sitting dejectedly. However, those fair and cute children were still playing and playing, and even climbed on the guardrail to make a lot of noise, keeping the gray-faced servants busy.
“Everyone was rescued?”
“He was rescued. This old rich man is quite stubborn. When will he ask us to help him save his land? He also said that he would marry a daughter to him. I, damn, I have a wife, but the result is that she refuses to leave. I have no choice but to order the house immediately if he refuses to leave. Only then will he be willing to leave with me. He will also waste my time for half a day. I have to Helping him move his property, I was so angry that I really wanted to light a fire!"
At this time, Hayes noticed that there were many trucks in the convoy, and the backs were filled with sacks that were almost higher than the front of the truck! , asked:
"Food?"
"Ah, this bitch is quite cunning. When the gene stealers started to riot, he bought a large amount of food and hoarded it. He also spent a lot of money to hire three to four hundred bodyguards, each of whom He carefully checked to ensure that there were no gene stealers, and bought a lot of arms. After that, the door was closed. Not to mention, those aliens seemed to be really unable to do anything to him for a while, and the one where his family lived The manor is also well-built. It looks like a bunker against the mountains and rivers. The shooting area is very tricky. His ancestors must have been soldiers and specially designed firepower points. There are also ammunition hidden in the underground warehouse, and there are even machine guns and two Mortar.”
