Chapter 174 Chapter 6 Killing the Enemy and Competing for Merit

"Ah, mech troop? Who leads the team?" Liu Sihao and his subordinates had different expressions of joy, but asked seriously. Of course he knew that there were no mecha troops on the capital planet, if there were, it could only be those robots. Liu Sihao still doesn't understand why Tang Long didn't send all the robots to the front line. Millions of robots can at least kill these enemies, right? Of course, he didn't tell anyone about this question, because those Datang officers from the Wanluo Federation didn't tell the public about their comrades-in-arms, most of them were robots.

Regarding this point, Tang Long didn't order to silence them. The reason why they did so was that they were worried about being found out that they and the robot were actually comrades-in-arms, and they were afraid of being looked down upon. The second is that all these robots have the appearance of humans. That is to say, few people will believe it, because if you don’t peel off the flesh of these robots to expose the metal skeleton, you can’t see any difference between them and humans. The third is that these well-informed Datang military officers from the Federation have all been promoted now. Although they were promoted to officials from the Wanluo Federation, they are still high-ranking officials. position, so no one will talk too much.

"Your Excellency the Marshal is leading the team!" The officer who reported said excitedly. Hearing this, the other officers immediately showed excited expressions. No wonder they were so excited. In this year and month, it is impossible for the supreme commander to direct the battle in person, let alone visit the front line in person. An officer who belonged to the staff quickly suggested to Liu Sihao: "Sir, telling the whole army about this news will greatly boost our morale!" Liu Sihao muttered: "Sure enough." Then he nodded in agreement with his subordinates' suggestion.

Liu Sihao didn't think it was strange that Tang Long came to the front line in person. According to Tang Long's habits in Datang, Tang Long was very used to going to the front line. If he didn't come to the front line this time, Liu Sihao would feel strange. Before the mecha troop led by Tang Long arrived at the front line, the federal soldiers on the ground already knew the news that Tang Long was coming. The supreme commander's visit to the front line really boosted the morale of the soldiers, and the officers also tried their best to command and plan, and they all wanted to show their best side to the marshal.

So in an instant, the federal army, which was still on the defensive, suddenly pounced on the enemy like a tiger out of the gate, and the battle became more intense for a while. In the sky above the battlefield here, there are two black spots that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. The security troops on the ground using electronic telescopes turned their eyes to space, and the troops in space were either busy cleaning up the battlefield or cast their eyes on the battlefield on the ground, so no one noticed the two black spots in the sky at all. These two black dots are the two giant robots controlled by No. 1 and No. 2. They didn't pay attention to the battle situation below, let alone notice that as long as they give the machine troops an order to concentrate their assault, the Federation will The encirclement of the army will immediately collapse.

Maybe they don't care about the gains and losses on the battlefield below, maybe they don't understand military affairs at all, anyway, the two of them let the subordinates below fight on their own, while they are suspended in the sky talking. "Second brother, what should we do now? Just stay here and watch the fun? Don't you want to look for those two intelligences?" Number Two asked. "Don't worry, those two intelligences are hiding now, and we can't find them at all. Let's let these two robots go down to show off their power, and we will take the opportunity to settle down on this planet. I believe that the two intelligences are definitely not How long will it be silent, as long as they appear, we can immediately find out where they are.

"As long as you find them, it won't be their turn to hide again," Number One said. "Second brother, why bother, just destroy this planet. I don't believe that if this planet is destroyed, those two intelligences can still hide." Regarding No. 1's plan, No. 2 said disapprovingly. No. 1 sneered and said: "Destroy this planet? You can tell, not to mention whether we can do it now, even if we can do it, those two intelligences are not stupid. In such a dangerous situation, they can still do it." run out? "These two strands of intelligence are no better than those that have just evolved. If we are not careful, they will escape. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort? So we have to be patient with them, so that we can have a chance!"

After thinking about it for a while, No. 2 felt that he had no clue now, and it seemed that he could only follow the second brother's method, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will do as you said." No. 1 laughed and said, "Well, let's order the troops below to start guerrilla warfare, lest they just break out desperately. I don't want them to be wiped out so early, and I need them to attract everyone's attention." Hearing this, number two nodded indifferently. The troops defending behind the federal army suddenly found a large group of densely packed figures rushing towards them like a wave of red.

Thinking of the order sent by the military department, he immediately realized that this was the mecha unit directly commanded by the marshal, so he couldn't help but stand apart and salute the red mecha fighters. The soldiers who had built a defensive position, led by the panicked officers, began to dismantle the defensive facilities in order to sort out a passage for these mech fighters to pass through. "No need to remove it!" A majestic voice came from a group of red mecha fighters at the front. Before the officers and soldiers who dismantled the defense facilities came to their senses, the red mecha fighters jumped over the defense facilities very easily.

When the red wave surged past the defense facility, the majestic voice said: "Strengthen the defense facility immediately, the enemy's mecha fighters have the same jumping ability as us." The officer in charge of this area quickly saluted the departing red wave and said yes, and then ordered his subordinates to start strengthening the defense facilities. Although he didn't know who spoke just now, this group of red mecha fighters was directly commanded by the marshal. It can be said that these red mecha fighters are disciples of the emperor, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with obeying orders.

Liu Sihao put on the protective mech, took out his weapon, and ordered to his subordinates who were staring at him dumbfounded: "You stay at the headquarters, and I will lead the suppression troops to encircle the encirclement." Then, he took a group of soldiers who were also fully armed, He rushed to the front line in a chariot. Some officers who were not flexible enough looked at Liu Sihao's back and thought it was strange, why did he go to the front line as an officer?I don't usually see him being so passionate. And some clever officers started to get busy, even if they really had nothing to do, they gathered around the three-dimensional map to point and discuss changes in the battle situation with the people around them. It wasn't until seeing the performance of these clever men that those slow-moving officers realized that the marshal was about to come to the front line in person, so he had to show himself. As a result, the headquarters of each army became extremely busy, and some officers even got into a fight over an impossible battle plan. Sitting in the bulletproof tank, Liu Sihao begged the enemy not to look at him, while cursing Tang Long: "Damn Tang Long, you went to the front line as soon as you went to the front line, why did you pass through my position? "Damn it, and you, why did you order every army to send a suppression force to enter the encirclement? Wouldn't it be better to just send a large force to clear the enemy? Now I have to use the method of personally going into battle to fight against the enemy. Show me your bravery, damn it!" Liu Sihao said so, but when he received the order to form a suppression force, he had already decided to go into battle himself.Because after his observation for so long, he found that Tang Long didn't miss any old love at all, and if he wanted to climb up, he had to make enough meritorious deeds. Since the last combat battle of the battleship, Liu Sihao began to pay attention to it since he, the fighting regiment leader, only earned a little credit because he didn't contribute much, and his merit was the lowest in the entire regiment. To be honest, Liu Sihao was very concerned about his military position in Datang, anyone who had been in Datang could see how powerful Datang was.Now that Tang Long has put his hand into the Wanluo Federation, Liu Sihao absolutely believes that it won't be long before the entire Wanluo Federation will have the surname Tang. For my own ambition, I must climb up! What Liu Sihao is most afraid of is that his subordinates who have military ranks in the Tang Dynasty will become higher in rank than himself because of their military exploits.Now it doesn't matter if my military rank is higher than them. When their military rank is higher than myself, I will definitely not be able to control them, let alone let them continue to be loyal to me. And Datang's promotion system is very strict, if he wants to maintain his advantage, he can only do his best to make meritorious deeds.Although it is now in the Wanluo Federation, who knows if Datang's military merit evaluation system will follow? For this, Liu Sihao was very sure that Tang Long must have a way to calculate the meritorious service of the officers and soldiers from the Tang Dynasty after this battle. "Sir, we have entered the position, please be careful!" A soldier reported to Liu Sihao. Liu Sihao nodded: "Get closer to the suppression force closest to us, and pay attention to the surrounding area!" According to the military report, Liu Sihao knew that the enemy had begun to change their style of work, and instead of desperately breaking out, Liu Sihao started guerrilla warfare. Now I am in the encirclement, in which, I will be attacked by those elusive enemies at any time, so I can't be careful. Liu Sihao made a cautious decision from the very beginning to carry out this campaign of suppression. After all, if he accidentally dies, all ambitions will be in vain, so he is going to contact other troops in order to increase his strength and increase his safety factor. Now the armored troops guarding the front line have no enemies to attack them, except for the large troops outside who continue to surround the entire battlefield and prevent the enemy from leaving. Scurrying enemies. As for those armored troops, they also cooperated with these elite troops and began to slowly shrink the encirclement. At the beginning, the Federal Army found that the enemy was no longer attacking the encirclement, and was happy for a while, thinking that the morale of the enemy was low.But when these enemies were divided into small groups and started to move around in the encirclement, the federal army began to have a headache. Because the area of ​​this encirclement is very large, although there are millions of enemies surrounded, their room for activity is still very large. When the troops began to shrink the encirclement, the places where there were many ruins of buildings blocking the way, or the places where the troops began to be weak due to movement, were immediately attacked by the enemy who appeared from nowhere, if it was not outside the original encirclement , and the defensive facilities built by the follow-up troops to intercept, I am afraid that the enemy has already run out. The federal troops had no choice but to propose to Tang Long that they should slowly and cautiously shrink the troops while dispatching troops to wipe out the enemies that were divided into groups. However, for those enemies that cannot be found by radar and can only be searched by naked eyes, the suppression troops are very sad.Because these enemies will come out without warning, attack fiercely for a while, fight to death if they win, and run away immediately if they don't win. And when chasing these enemies, as long as they are out of sight, there is no trace of them at all. In order to wipe out a small group of enemies, the suppression troops had to go back and forth several times in a small area. At this moment, the heavy artillery unit is completely useless, because the radar cannot show the enemy. Even if the suppression unit finds the enemy and calls the heavy artillery unit to attack, it is mostly useless, because the enemy has run away before the shells fall. And fighter jets can't continue to bomb, because after the enemy is scattered, it is impossible to find the enemy with the naked eye during high-speed movement. If the speed is slowed down, the enemy will attack again. I don't understand how the enemy suddenly became smarter and learned to attack fighter jets. Not long ago, they allowed themselves to bomb. However, these planetary air forces are not useless, they can transport casualties to the rear, and at the same time deliver supplies to the suppression forces. However, due to the extremely difficult progress of the cleanup and the heavy casualties, several troops that were originally responsible for the cleanup mission quit. They thought they had suffered heavy losses, while others watched the fun.Of course, this cannot be said to the above, so they proposed to Tang Long that they should take this opportunity to let all the troops practice ground warfare. Tang Long, who agreed with this very much, immediately issued an order that all troops must send out suppression troops. Liu Sihao poked his head out from the chariot and looked around, all he could see were ruins, but judging from the layout of these ruins, it should have been a bustling street. Now looking at the potholes all over the ground, and the piles of ruins, I can't help feeling how easy it is to destroy a city. Just as Liu Sihao sighed with emotion, a red ball of light suddenly shot out from a pile of ruins, and very accurately hit a chariot in Liu Sihao's team. When the chariot that was blown up to the sky told Liu Sihao that they were attacked by the enemy, it was also a signal for the enemy to launch an attack. Just as the explosion sounded, hundreds of enemy mecha fighters wearing mechas suddenly appeared from the surrounding ruins. As soon as these mecha fighters appeared, they rained bullets on Liu Sihao's troops. And from the ruins where the red light ball was emitted, a metal spider climbed out, firing a light ball every few seconds, and rushed towards this army at a fast moving speed. Liu Sihao, who hid in the chariot when he saw the first luminous ball appear, found the number of enemies through the monitor in the chariot, and immediately calmed down after being a little flustered. He hurriedly opened the army communication and shouted: "Don't panic, The enemy only has about a hundred people, we can definitely destroy them!" Since they had never experienced ground warfare, the federal soldiers who were frightened by the enemy's surprise attack were either hiding beside the chariot, or running around, or shooting everywhere aimlessly, when they heard Liu Sihao's words from the earphones , Looked at the enemies around again, and found that the chief hadn't deceived himself, so he couldn't help but become more courageous, and attacked these enemies with curses. After Liu Sihao issued the order to fight back, he suddenly remembered that the target of the chariot he was staying in was too big. If he was spotted by that metal spider, wouldn't he be burned to charcoal without even thinking of running away? ?Thinking of this, Liu Sihao immediately left the chariot. Of course, he found a very beautiful excuse, that is, to go down and lead the soldiers to fight in person, and left the chariot. Liu Sihao's behavior of leaving the protection of the chariot and being directly exposed to the enemy's guns naturally won the respect of the soldiers, and the soldiers' morale was boosted to attack the enemy. After Liu Sihao fired a few shots at a mecha fighter, he found that the laser beam was bounced off by the mecha, and immediately shouted: "Use grenades and laser cannons!" A soldier threw it away. With a bang, the mecha warrior was blown up into the air, and very coincidentally fell to the ground with his head down, and then a puff of black smoke came out from the gap in his mecha, and then he remained motionless. Seeing how easily his commander killed a very difficult enemy, the soldiers followed suit by throwing grenades, and those soldiers equipped with portable laser cannons were called around as supporting firepower . Of course, the chariot also desperately poured artillery fire at the metal spider. Among so many enemies, only this metal spider is harmful to him, and he must be dealt with immediately. Others didn't pay attention, but Liu Sihao noticed the black smoke coming from the body of the enemy he had killed.He looked around and found that he was safe, so he couldn't help but trot to the mech to check. Seeing this, Liu Sihao was stunned, he didn't expect this enemy to be a robot. After he looked at the other mecha fighters who were killed, he couldn't help spitting, and whispered to himself: "Damn, they are all robots! No wonder these guys dared to airborne after the battleship was destroyed. Dare they just act according to the programming. "Tang Long, where did he provoke such a force equipped with so many robots? Isn't this force afraid of robot rebellion?" Although Liu Sihao only realized that this small group of enemies were all robots, but from a young age, he was sure that the enemies on the entire battlefield were all robots. Soon, when the balance of victory tilted towards Liu Sihao, Liu Sihao found that this group of enemies was retreating, and couldn't help shouting: "Don't let them escape, surround me and beat them!" Knowing that these enemies cannot be defeated Liu Sihao, who ran away, didn't want to search for them in this area. With the superior force, the battle ended quickly. Looking at the robots emitting black smoke and his own casualties, Liu Sihao suddenly felt that the war was very unfair. Because what the opponent consumes is just piles of steel, but what he consumes here is precious life. "Damn, this force is really smart enough. As long as you have enough equipment and materials, you can manufacture robots in an endless stream. Even if 100 million soldiers are wiped out, you don't have to feel bad. Make another 100 million. The robot comes out on the line. "And if their enemies are killed with 100 million soldiers, they will definitely be severely injured. If the war continues, if you think about it with your toes, the forces using robots will definitely win! "Damn it, it's no wonder that Tang Long wants to get so many robots in. It turns out that robots are so easy to use! But it's strange, why does that guy treat robots as normal soldiers? Robots are originally used for consumption, let them get the same benefits as humans. What is the treatment for you? I really don’t understand! Well, since robots are so useful, if my troops also want to equip robots..." Thinking of this, Liu Sihao hurriedly shook his head and threw away the thought. Now that he is still living under the fence and doesn't have his own private army at all, it's better not to think about these distant things. Liu Sihao is very clear that thinking about these things now will make him unrealistic, which is very detrimental to his ambition. Seeing that the transport plane was called to transport the casualties away, and at the same time the transported personnel replenished the troops, Liu Sihao boarded a chariot and ordered to the troops: "Keep going!" Following the order, this army with hundreds of chariots immediately began to move forward slowly. "Damn it, which enemy army is this? Why is it getting stronger and stronger? Could it be that these enemy troops running around are connected?" Liu Sihao looked at the hole shot by the light beam beside him, then looked at the fierce battle ahead, and couldn't help spitting and cursing. Not long after Liu Sihao's troops advanced, they were attacked by another enemy.However, the experienced troops quickly wiped out the same number of enemy troops as the one just now, and the casualties were not as many as last time. The confident soldiers all spoke to Liu Sihao, demanding that the enemies in this area be wiped out. Liu Sihao knew from the military report that the enemy was moving around in units of a metal spider and a hundred mech fighters, and his two encounters with the enemy proved the correctness of the report. Thinking that every enemy wiped out is a credit, and seeing that his troops killed the enemies so easily, Liu Sihao agreed with his subordinates' proposal, instead of approaching the nearby suppression troops, he began to search for enemies in this area . However, Liu Sihao soon discovered that he couldn't find the enemy at all, so he could only passively wander around to attract the enemy to attack him. However, even in this kind of battle that can only be fought back after being attacked by the enemy first, Liu Sihao's troops still easily wiped out five groups of enemies. Looking at the fruitful achievements, Liu Sihao and his subordinates became very proud. Some soldiers who were slightly injured were not willing to take the transport plane to the rear at all, and Liu Sihao's countless soldiers in the rear all asked to come to join the battle. Even those officers who stayed at the headquarters also asked Liu Sihao to parachute with the transport plane to the frontline troops to participate in the battle. After discovering that other troops were in the same situation, and even some suppression troops discovered the enemy at the same time, causing a phenomenon of fighting for merit, Liu Sihao suddenly discovered that this battlefield had changed from destroying the enemy to a playground for the troops to gain meritorious service. Thinking of this, he immediately adjusted the members of this suppression force, bringing in some subordinates whom he had bought.Now is a good opportunity to gain meritorious service. Wouldn't it be too stupid for me not to support my subordinates vigorously? As for those cronies, because Liu Sihao was concerned that their rank in the Tang Dynasty was only one or two ranks behind his own, in order to prevent them from being equal to or even higher than him in rank after they performed meritorious deeds, Liu Sihao did not transfer a cronies. Of course, Liu Sihao also sent them a message, saying some consoling words such as personally commanding the troops and making more meritorious deeds. As for whether these cronies believe them or not, and whether they have any complaints in their hearts, it is beyond Liu Sihao's ability to know. After easily eliminating a few more groups of enemies, Liu Sihao's troops began to relax, and the soldiers below began to fight for success, and when they saw the enemy appearing, they swarmed up. toss aside. Although Liu Sihao noticed this, he thought that every time the enemy appeared, there were only such a small number of people, and there was no danger to his troops at all, so he didn't control them. He is now focusing on eliminating the metal spiders, because he knows that the credit for eliminating the metal spiders is higher than that of those mech fighters. However, Liu Sihao's troops, who wandered around hoping to be discovered by the enemy and attack him, were quickly hit. After they encountered a group of enemies and eliminated one metal spider, they habitually relaxed, and then were caught off guard by another metal spider that suddenly appeared. Although the battle also ended with the victory of the federal army, the casualties this time were even greater than when they first encountered the enemy. However, the soldiers and officers, including Liu Sihao, who had been fascinated by the battle results, did not realize that something was wrong. They all thought that these two enemies appeared together by chance. So, after transporting the casualties and replenishing personnel and supplies, the troops began to wander around again, attracting the enemy to attack themselves. Soon, they were attacked by two groups of enemies again. Having learned a lesson, they wiped out the enemies again after spending a little energy. It's a pity that after this rest and replenishment, before they had time to attract the enemy, the enemy ran up to attack them, and it wasn't just one or two groups, but five or six groups of enemies suddenly surrounded them. don't run away. In this battle, Liu Sihao's troops won the battle with heavy casualties. Three-fifths of the chariots were destroyed, seven-tenths of the soldiers were killed, and two-thirds of the officers were killed. It can be said that Liu Sihao's suppression troops were defeated. Disabled. Liu Sihao didn't care much about the casualties of the troops, because the transport plane would immediately fill up the supplies with just one call. Anyway, he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, enough to replenish countless times. What makes Liu Sihao feel distressed is that those officers who died two-thirds, the officers who were bought by themselves and who can be judged to be promoted, so there are not more than half of them, it is really heartbreaking. At this time, Liu Sihao was glad that he did not transfer those cronies. If all those cronies were here, he would only have a few cronies left now. Seeing that the remaining soldiers and officers were terrified of being beaten, Liu Sihao simply sent them all back to the rear, and transferred a large number of people up to form a brand new suppression force. In doing so, not only can these survivors who have lost confidence affect their morale, but also they can preserve those loyal officers who were bought by themselves.
