Chapter 373 Veterans of the teaching team, move forward!
On the other side, the retreating teaching team alternately covered the retreat. They relied on powerful individual firepower and concealed explosives set in advance to prevent the pursuit of federal troops, and quickly combined with the fifth medium-sized troops in the other direction. The battalion completed its rendezvous.
But according to the situation detected by the latter, the current situation is not optimistic for them.
Because the troops here are already surrounded by federal troops at this moment, and the strength of the encirclement is still increasing, it is obvious that the opponent has deployed two heavy-equipped rapid reaction troops here in advance as an ambush.
“This is the situation now, if we can’t seize the time to create a ‘channel’.”
"Boom! Boom!"
Two explosions and a slightly delayed 'scream' from the distance interrupted the words of the commander of the 5th Medium Combined Battalion.
He and Baninger beside him couldn't help but look in the direction of the explosion, and saw thick smoke rising from the woods over there, accompanied by some firelight.
"This movement should be the fixed hypersonic tactical missile at Camp 4?"
"80% yes, but it seems that it has been intercepted a lot on the road, more than 800 kilometers away. The distance was enough for the federal air defense forces to intercept them. You see, only two of them succeeded in penetrating the defense."
Tucker, the commander of the 5th Medium Combined Battalion, leaned out of the top hatch of the command vehicle and said.
Although his cheetah-like animalistic features make his body appear extremely slender, he is even taller after wearing a combat exoskeleton.
But now that he was leaning out of the car, he was only just level with Baninger, who was wearing heavy power armor next to him.
"By the way, Captain, where did I just say?"
"Open the 'channel'." Baninger replied calmly.
"Yes, yes, if we don't open a passage quickly, it will be difficult to break out from behind."
At this point, Battalion Commander Tucker's tone also became a little anxious.
“Although our medium-sized combined battalion has mobility and firepower, and can penetrate behind enemy lines with communication support, if we are surrounded and attacked like this, the lack of heavy units will still be a big disadvantage!”
"If the teaching team uses firepower to forcibly open a passage, can you find a way to rush out?"
Hearing Banninger's words, Tucker fell silent.
Because he instantly realized the opponent's plan, on the current battlefield where the strength of the enemy and ourselves were greatly disparity, even the teaching team, all equipped with power armor, could not sustain for long under the opponent's firepower.
So Banninger's "forcibly opening a path" is actually the teaching team using their lives to open a path.
"Instructor." Tucker subconsciously used the title that he had not used for a long time,
"Do you know the consequences of doing this?"
"Of course I do. ”
"I still have 3 HCPs on hand, which can also be used to open roads."
"No" Baninger interrupted Tucker, and then said:
"These precious Mobile power cannot be wasted here, and we cannot afford to lose the strength of your battalion now.
There is less than 150 kilometers between Camp 5 and here. If the 5th Medium-sized Combined Battalion successfully breaks out, the enemy must If they have to worry about you stabbing them from behind, the pressure on Camp 5 will be greatly reduced.”
Baninger paused and continued with a smile:
"And if you don't have us 'burdens', you can also abandon those field heavy trucks, and your mobility will be enhanced. I know the tactical maneuvers these days, because transporting heavy power armor like us is actually a waste of detours. "It took a lot of time."
Tucker wanted to say something more, but Baninger's tough posture reminded him of the time in the training camp, and the shadow of the 'Devil Instructor' overlapped with the person in front of him. Together, the words in his mouth were immediately suppressed.
"Okay, let your troops be ready. After we find a way to open a passage through the weak point, you can pass quickly!"
——
Baninger quickly returned to the other members of the training team. At this moment, everyone was replenishing energy next to a camouflaged mobile supply vehicle of the 5th Medium-sized Combined Battalion.
At the same time, there were many soldiers in ammunition transport vehicles nearby, helping to replenish ammunition for the heavy powered armor, which had been almost depleted of ammunition.
"Veterans, the time has come."
Banninger's words seemed a bit confusing, but those members of the teaching team who had fought all the way from Robert IV understood them immediately. Got what he meant.
“After so long, it’s finally time”
“Come on, come on, my halberd is already thirsty and thirsty!”
Everyone in the training team activated the power armor in standby mode, and the Roma soldiers around to help with supplies also accelerated their movements, and at the request of these veterans of the training team, they mounted the excess ammunition and equipment. .
"The combat plan has been shared through the data link, so I will tell you our goal."
Baninger waved his hand, and everyone quickly approached.
"It's very simple. Help the 5th Medium Combined Battalion open a gap here on Highway 56, allow mobile vehicles to pass quickly, and prevent federal troops from re-sealing the gap." "Oh, it's really simple. Captain~"
The veterans laughed immediately, and no nervousness was felt on them at all.
“Smile, laugh, there will be a time when you cry!” Baninger also laughed and scolded,
“When the fifth medium-sized combined battalion passes through the gap, some of the soldiers and bees will be Stay in fixed defense and assist us in subsequent blocking operations. After confirming that they have withdrawn a sufficient distance, we will wait for an opportunity to retreat."
Although Baninger said this, everyone automatically ignored it. The last sentence.
After a long battle, everyone in the teaching team has been able to analyze the battle situation, so they know that the current situation is far from optimistic as Baninger said.
However, as Amber's earliest followers, they have no regrets about such an 'ending'.
Especially after Amber secretly brought their family back to the Tower of Babel from the Federation some time ago, they no longer have any worries.
The pie that Amber drew to them in the Robert 4 space elevator, although it is not said to have been completely realized, is indeed being practiced in this direction step by step.
Fair, transparent, and open internal corporate atmosphere, leaders who are capable and responsible while caring for their subordinates, high salaries, and advanced weapons and equipment
These things are all seen by them with their own eyes Achieved bit by bit.
Including Baninger, everyone reached a consensus when they arrived in the Thousand Planet Empire to escape the threat and saw the news that Robert IV was destroyed by a proton annihilation bomb - that is, they all owed Amber a life.
These former federal "soldiers" have gradually become "instructors" and "soldier kings" in the Atlas combat forces, and have become one of the most elite ground combat forces.
And now, it seems that it is time for them to 'burn out' for Atlas.
Obviously, on this battlefield, the fifth medium-sized synthetic battalion, a new force, will have a greater impact on the battle situation.
And Atlas's ground troops really cannot bear the consequences of a battalion-level unit being surrounded and annihilated at this moment.
Just when the Fifth Medium Combined Battalion was reorganizing its formation and preparing to quickly pass Route 56 after the teaching team launched its attack, Baninger suddenly received a communication from Amber.
"Baninger, are you crazy?"
The voice coming through the quantum entanglement communication channel was heavy breathing, and from time to time there were some dull vibrations. This familiar background sound combined with the previous "Heaven and Earth Battlefield Information Sharing" made Baninger quickly realize the situation of Amber.
"Boss, are you trying to teach me a lesson while attacking again?"
"Don't worry about what I'm doing. Are you out of your mind? Sacrifice yourself to help others. Do you think Is it great for you to do this?”
Although he was currently in the middle of a fierce battle, with a long tail trailing behind him, Amber's teachings were very smooth and without any lag.
"Isn't this what you taught us? Put the interests of the company first, don't have any worries~"
"Then I won't let you go on such a suicide mission!"
“Boss, listen to me.”
Baninger picked up the long-handled plasma halberd leaning against a supply box, waved his hand and led the teaching team towards the attack position. Walked away and continued:
"We have all listened to your pre-war speech. We all know that 'the future of Atlas lies in this battle.' Now is the time when we need to step up. Brothers will never have any complaints.
You also know that those of us who came out of Robert IV have been preparing for this moment for an unknown amount of time
And during this period of time in Atlas, those of us who lived We have the most dignified and valuable days, so we hope that this kind of Atlas can affect more people like us. This is the future we look forward to.
In this case, Boss. Let’s take the first step towards the future of Atlas!
Baninger. End of call.”
After saying the last sentence, Baninger cut off communication with Amber without hesitation and logged off the communication channel directly.
Behind him, the veterans of the teaching team who had listened to his speech all the way, also entered a state of frenzy with blood rushing to their heads.
It didn’t take long for the 20 heavy powered armor units of the training team to arrive at the offensive launch position.
One kilometer ahead, Highway 56, as the 'lifeline', is passing through the gap between two highlands. On these two highlands, the federal army deployed two reinforcements respectively. The company's troops defended.
At this time, the Federal Army reconnaissance unit in the air has discovered the movement here, and the company-level direct-fire weapons have also begun to calibrate fire in this direction. At the same time, charged particle beams and high-speed penetrating rods are constantly directed towards the suspicious area. Shooting.
Looking at the mud and gunpowder smoke being thrown up by the explosions in front of him, as well as the shadowy highlands in the distance, Baninger recalled the happy scene when he was reunited with his wife and children at the Tower of Babel for the last time, and then let out a war-filled cry. Roar:
"Veterans of the Atlas Training Team, move forward!"
