Chapter 725 The Second Battle of Hoover Dam
The Legion envoy Ranius appeared in the bunker on the front line east of the dam at five o'clock in the morning. The NCR soldiers on the west bank could only see the distant figures in the night. With the help of a small number of night vision devices that had just been sent, they could distinguish the outline of human beings. :../ Only officers carrying telephoto equipment could see the huge body wrapped in armor in the lens barrel. The Legion envoy was like a beast in armor, and his presence was unparalleled. He was surrounded by a group of guards like a lion standing in a pack of wolves, with cold eyes hidden under the mask of steel.
In the dark dawn, the envoy let out a war howl. The roar of extremely penetrating power crossed the entire dam and echoed on the Colorado River. For a time, the sporadic firefighting on the battlefield subsided, and the soldiers on the NCR were frightened, while the places where the torches flashed across the opposite side came from the caesar military camp on the mountain. For a moment, it was like the entire mountain coming alive, like a giant snake, making a demonstration howl at the Hoover Dam.
"The soldiers are scared." Su Jing stood on a tower and watched the situation. "A monster-level guy suddenly popped up on the opposite side. Whoever saw it would be afraid, not to mention that they had been in the dark for a night of fear and were exhausted now. Speaking of which, how did the guy on the opposite side do it? Can he yell so loudly with a shout?"
"Then you came up with this idea." Gaiqi moved a large speaker to the tower and placed it outside. The thick power supply cable was pulled up from the underground of the tower. This was the largest outdoor audio equipment that could be made. "If you want to tell me, you are really narcissistic."
"People always have to take advantage of their own advantages." Su Jing coughed twice, picked up a guitar from the female wall, and simply played the audition twice.
"The power is turned on." The mechanic quickly blocked his ears with two balls of rubber earplugs, and then sat in the drum set.
"Three, two, one...start." Su Jing turned on the switch of the microphone and then used a string of chords as the starting point.
The soldiers on both sides of the dam suddenly heard a distant and loud guitar sound from a dam tower to the west. Then a bang the spotlight lit up, illuminating the tower, like a huge torch at night. Then a slightly hoarse magnetic male began to hum the old rock in the leisurely rhythm of guitar and drums. At first, the noise was a bit loud, and after a few sentences, the soldiers below could hear the lyrics clearly.
"... Although this hotel is often crowded, I can find my place. The sad people there tell their melancholy with tears..."
In Elvis' famous song "Sad Hotel", Su Jing stepped on the exterior wall of the tower with one foot and sang in a colorful voice towards the firelight across the river. Two and a half centuries ago, the singing of the superstar of the Heavenly King floated on the wasteland again, which was very inconsistent with the flesh-and-blooded battlefield. However, it was this dissonance that made the soldiers at the foot of the tower feel a strange sense of peace of mind. Even though the sky was about to collapse a few minutes ago, there were still people who were interested in singing on the spot at this time. This absurd contrast made them less nervous.
The Caesar's Legion on the other side of the river is another idea. These people who are eager for war have established fanatical fighting spirit with the concerted war cry. Caesar's soldiers usually regard their opponents as incompetent cowards. The truly elite and combative team has entered a state of passionate battle, eager to use the sharp blades and bullets in their hands to harvest their lives and seize the honor of the warriors.
However, the charming songs across the river disrupted their rhythm. The fighters waiting for the blood-drinking warriors could not stop the sound wave from reaching their team. To be honest, this song was very nice and they couldn't help but feel distracted.
In the front camp, Ranius fell into a strange silence. Before this, as the commander's special envoy launched this iconic howl of battle, everyone would charge forward without fear of death under the guidance of his pure violence. However, today's atmosphere was destroyed by the opponent's strange moves. The painstakingly prepared charge mobilization dissipated in the strange singing, making the previous battle cry of the Eastern Divine Beast a little stupid.
"Call down the horn outside the building with a gun." The envoy finally spoke. His tone sounded calm.
The guards immediately went to do it. As the first special envoy Ranius's guards, these soldiers were elite soldiers of the centurion level, and they must have one of the seized spoils. A guard picked up a sniper rifle, aimed for a while, and pulled the trigger. The bullet flew for a long distance in the air, and then hit the protective steel plate made into a honeycomb outside the speaker, which only triggered a buzz of metal vibration.
"It takes a larger caliber to break through." The guard turned his head for help. He knew that the best long-distance weapon here was the anti-equipment sniper rifle. Even at such a long distance, the special armor-piercing bullets can still maintain enough kinetic energy to penetrate the steel plate.
As soon as he turned around, an armor-piercing bullet pierced his chest, and the spiral spike-like alloy horn nailed him to the concrete wall behind him. The guards immediately lowered their posture, only Ranius remained motionless. He walked to the struggling guard, held the half-piercing angle exposed outside his body, and slowly pulled it out. As soon as the armor-piercing angle was pulled out, the guards spit out blood foam and rolled to the ground, leaving only the twitching force.
Ranius looked at the impact angle under the torch light. The metallic luster still emitted bloody heat after impact and friction. After the industrial mass-produced impact angle collided with concrete bunker, it revealed the deformed and stretched light.
"Lanius, they may snipe you at any time!" A guard who had followed him for a long time squatted behind the cover.
"...It's okay." The Eastern Divine Beast abandoned the horn of the collision, and the heavy metal made a jingle and rolled into dust. He shouted, as if it were wild beasts, without any meaningful syllables. The real meaning lies in the excitement in the tone. He held a huge machete, specially made for him, and established a famous giant blade in his conquest of dozens of tribes.
"rush!"
"Wait while those softies are having a concert!"
The entire dam is arc-shaped, with a length of 380 meters on the top and a road at the top fourteen meters wide. On the top of the dam of 380 meters, four towers are erected. These four towers are used to accommodate water storage units. The two towers on the west bank controlled by the NCR are basically intact, while the two towers on the Caesars' legion were blown down in the battle that had occurred before. Su Jing's personal concert platform was on the westernmost one. At this moment, he had put down his guitar and transferred the speaker system to the Montenegro Radio. Glados was playing a pre-war piano playing tape.
"When the battle is over, we will almost be able to complete the mission. Open the portal." Su Jing put the friendship destroyer on the female wall, replaced it with high-explosive bombs, aimed at the place where he was just launched and fired a few shots. Several small groups of fire broke out in the front camp of the Caesar's Legion, causing quite chaos to their army's attack.
"A road less than 400 meters. If you let go of the sprint, you can rush from that end to this end within a minute. To defend such a level, the commanding heights here are the place that must be controlled." Gaiqi found a squad with a machine gun mounted beside Su Jing, and the long chain dragged it to the entrance of the top floor of the tower. Not far from the feet of the two, the soldiers of the legion were rushing along the cover with the aura of a kamikaze assault.
The ncr's front was much weaker than at the beginning. Many soldiers could no longer bear the pressure and the ammunition was almost exhausted. The corpses left behind during the attack along the way also became good cover for latecomers to attack. Soldiers wielding machetes and hunting rifles, and equipped with various weapons came over in the night. The ncr soldiers could not see clearly and could only shoot when they rushed near. Su Jing heard the sound of a particularly stable and unhurried shotgun among these gunshots, and he knew it was Adam's gunshot.
"Where is General Oliver?" Su Jing's vision can be seen clearly even in the dark light at night, but Gai Qi needs the assistance of a night vision instrument. The girl put on the night vision instrument in an orderly manner, hid her emerald-like beautiful eyes behind the thick optical instrument, and then carried the machine gun and aimed at the enemy group where the ants gathered in the dark night.
"I heard that he temporarily transferred the headquarters, as if he had moved to Camp McAllen."
"No wonder the NCR soldiers below all looked listless. Even the Supreme Commander ran away in the face. Who else can they count on?"
The brilliant tongue of fire spurted at the muzzle, and the rain of death fell from the sky in an instant, blocking the charge of the Legionnaires soldiers outside the precise range. There is a saying that the simple sea of manpower tactics completely withdrew from the stage of history after the invention of heavy machine guns. Although the tactics of the Caesar Legion were not ordinary sea of manpower assault tactics, under the overwhelming firepower, even if these mortals had high fighting enthusiasm, they could not defeat the cold high-speed iron blocks.
She was sweeping happily. Gai Qi was pulled over by Su Jing. The next second, several bullets passed through the place where she was staying. The opponent's reaction was also very fast, on the only tower controlled by the legion. A group of snipers who appeared at some point were aiming Gai Qi at a distance of 300 meters. They were all using sniper rifles, and this distance was exactly the best distance to play. Fearing the heavy firepower they had, the sniper team was bombing the top of the tower without hesitation, and the steel plate outside the speaker was making a loud noise.
"What's going on?" The two of them lay on the ground, temporarily suppressed and unable to raise their heads.
Su Jing jumped up suddenly. The Friendship Destroyer had switched to continuous firing mode and aimed at the tower three hundred meters away to bombard continuously. More than a dozen high-explosive bombs fell on the tower like raindrops, and none hit the sniper team on the front, but the series of explosions made the structure of the tower tremble. The solid and solid dam walls were not so simple to collapse, but the smoke and continuous shock waves scattered around obscured the vision of the sniper team, making them unable to continue to suppress the firepower here.
"I have a way." The brunette girl took out a small piece from her waist and tied a string of grenades to the small piece. Su Jing immediately understood her intention. This small piece was a compressed Fulton balloon. After liberating the balloon, the hydrogen balloon quickly flew straight into the sky with five timed grenades that had been pulled out of the security.
“glados, correct the balloon navigation coordinates.”
The correction is completed.
The hot air balloon floated to the east, and Su Jing added several bombs, blew the upper part of the tower, until the balloon floated to the designated location, which was directly above the opposite tower.
Su Jing replaced an armor-piercing bomb and simply exploded the balloon. The timed grenade inside exploded in mid-air. The metal fragments of five broken grenades sprinkled a rain of death on the top of the tower, killing the sniper team to the ground.
"Low, they rushed over!"
In the brief moment when the firepower was stopped at the top of the tower, the legion's front line had already crossed the dam. After entering the middle and close range, the legion soldiers' advantage in breakthrough power was quickly revealed. They were equipped with a large number of explosive weapons and the grenade launcher showed their power. Even Su Jing's Mr. Qianfeng robot combat regiment could not survive under the violent propulsion of this dense bombing of grenades. Once the external sensor was broken by the fragments, the seemingly powerful robot would quickly become a useless blind man.
The combat department of the Black Cross Caravan played a mainstay this time. More than a dozen Black Cross warriors who were once the Knights of the Iron Brotherhood have laid simple but effective defense lines. Unlike many NCR soldiers who have only experienced the most basic military training, the Knights of the Iron Brotherhood are all elite among the elites. The effective cooperative tactics and firepower concentration alone have brought the firepower of these just a dozen people to the limit. The green laser flashed in the dark night before dawn, resisting the impact of the legion.
The heavy machine gun started to spit out the flames again, but after a while, it suddenly got stuck. The mechanical warlock quickly checked and found that it was due to the influence of wind and sand caused by the desert area. It might not be repaired in a short time, which made the brunette girl so angry that she kicked the machine gun away.
Su Jing held the friendship destroyer and was not in a hurry to kill the enemy's living forces. He carefully observed the movements of the enemy group, but only occasionally fired a few grenades into places where the crowd was dense.
"...There is still enough to be able to do the opposite." Su Jing looked at it for a while and said, "Their commander has not used all his strength yet. The current attack is just a prelude. If this adapts to their rhythm, then he will be really fooled."
