From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Lyon took the lead and rushed to the front.

Ace, Maggie, Flos, Rico and others followed closely behind.

And the entire 226th combat platoon followed Lyon and rushed towards the town filled with smoke.

The surrounding combat platoons, especially the lieutenants and second lieutenants who were killed by clone snipers at long range in the first moment, also launched a charge.

Looking from the air, at least a quarter of the mobile infantry began the attack.

The remaining 3/4 chose to watch from a distance due to the orders of the lieutenant and Colonel Honard Thompson, as well as fear of the firepower of the clone soldiers.

soon.

Lyon and the 226th Combat Platoon, which he temporarily took over the command of, safely crossed the sand between the two sides and successfully arrived at the western part of the town, which was already covered with gullies and craters.

The clone soldiers stationed here suffered heavy casualties due to the risky bombing by the thunder attack aircraft, so they were temporarily unable to organize effective fire suppression.

This gave the mobile infantry the confidence that they could win.

Followed by.

Lyon and his men crossed the ruined western wall, rushed into the town, and began to set up defensive positions to cover the subsequent friendly units and to gain a firm foothold here.

The mobile infantry that charged ahead successfully broke into the town with almost no casualties, while the remaining 3/4 of the main force was "ready to move".

Colonel Honard Thompson had to give orders on the communication channel, asking all mobile infantry to go to the town and annihilate the enemy.

Unfortunately

There were already more than two thousand clone soldiers who had bypassed the western part of the town from the south and north sides, looking as if they were going to surround Leon and others who had gone ahead, but in fact, they were concentrating their firepower to block the main force of the mobile infantry led by Honard Thompson.

Ta-ta-ta-!

Ri~Boom——!!

Instantly, more intense gunfire sounds resounded throughout the desert again.

In addition, the clone soldiers also dispatched two Hunter support tanks with magnetic levitation chassis, which looked like "land destroyers".

The power of its twin-barreled 120mm Gauss gun is comparable to that of the ship-borne Gauss secondary guns, and it is extremely lethal to armored units.

However, there was not a single armored unit on the mobile infantry side, only infantry.

Therefore, the mobile infantry attacked by the Gauss cannon will be "shattered" instantly, and even the broken limbs and arms cannot be put together.

Of course, the clones responsible for driving the Hunter Main Battle Tanks will accurately scan, lock and kill the lieutenants and non-commissioned officers who give orders based on the communication network temporarily built by the mobile infantry.

This will make the already chaotic command system of the mobile infantry even more chaotic.

As for Honald Thompson, who was protected by many layers and was at the core of the main force, he was deliberately let go by the clones.

They don't know how to set up plans and calculate.

However, the Investigation Department, which completed the monitoring of the Mobile Infantry's communications, believed that Honald Thompson would help enhance the prestige of Leon, Maggie and others, so they gave the clone soldiers the order "not to kill the enemy's highest commander."

Moreover, according to the instructions of the Investigation Department, they deliberately spared the 1/4 mobile infantry that followed Leon and others into the town first.

Because those new recruits would most likely follow Leon Kennedy's orders in the subsequent street fighting and even in the subsequent "cooperative battle".

On the other hand, the main force of the mobile infantry who chose to obey the command of Honard Thompson and were hesitant became the main target of the clones.

But they won't really kill you.

So apart from accurately killing those lieutenants, non-commissioned officers and a few colonels, the clone soldiers' marksmanship can be described as "hard to describe in words".

If some recruits still unfortunately die, it can only be said that those recruits were just unlucky.

! !

"Oh my God! The lieutenant is killed!"

"Medic! Medic!"

"Don't bother the medics. The lieutenants are everywhere. Do we need the medics to put the pieces back together?!"

"Should we continue to charge? Or should we retreat?"

The main force of the mobile infantry, which was attacked by two thousand clone soldiers and two Hunter main battle tanks, had no idea of ​​the various arrangements of the Investigation Department. They had finally regained their morale, but were directly defeated again.

Although they were also firing back, and the missile team was even prepared to use conventional missiles to deal with the "land destroyer"-like Hunter main battle tank, the members of the missile team were once again subjected to precise sniper attacks.

This made no one dare to touch the individual missile launcher.

Even if the members of the mobile infantry had no combat experience, they knew that the clone snipers were specifically targeting those guys who raised the missile launchers.

As a result, non-commissioned officers and lieutenants also became the enemy's main targets.

However, ordinary infantry, signalmen, engineers and other arms did not suffer much losses.

However, everyone gradually discovered that the clone soldiers were still dispersing to the sides and gathering behind them, as if they were intending to surround them.

"Everyone keep moving forward!"

At this time, Honald Thompson shouted in the communication:

"We are exposed in the open and can do nothing to the enemy. We must rush into the town and use the buildings as cover to have a chance of winning! Charge!!"

After confirming that their commander-in-chief was still alive and that the orders had not changed, the mobile infantry no longer hesitated and crossed the ruined western wall and fully occupied the western streets and blocks of the town.

The 226th Combat Platoon, which rushed here first, has occupied a two-story shopping mall with several other combat platoons that also lost their lieutenants.

Not only did they use this place as a defensive position to cover subsequent friendly forces, they also prepared to serve as a front-line command center.

-

The first floor lobby of the mall;

"Sergeant, there are very few supplies here. It seems that they have been looted by those guys a long time ago."

Ace came over with two bottles of mineral water and handed one to Leon as he spoke.

Leon took the mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and drank nearly half of the bottle before screwing it back on.

Then, Leon pretended to frown and guessed:

"The other side may not want to leave us much, but the fact that we haven't even seen any civilians shows that they have long anticipated the Federation's actions."

"Perhaps before we entered the New Hope system, the enemy already knew about the deployment of the expeditionary fleet."

Tiz Froz, who was also carrying a radio, echoed this.

"There were no supplies, no civilians, and no farmland or livestock farms after the sand was improved."

After hearing what Tiz said and combining it with what they had experienced since landing, Johnny Rico made an analysis, then turned to look at Leon and said in a deep voice:

"Sergeant, have we fallen into an enemy trap?"

Ta-whoosh!

Boom.Boom!

As everyone talked, the noise caused by bullets hitting the walls, whizzing past from above, and explosions never stopped.

Several combat platoons of infantrymen were seen using all the heavy objects they could carry to block the doors and windows on the east side and use them as cover while engaging in a fierce firefight with the clone soldiers outside.

Here, the infantrymen could finally clearly see the clone troopers' weapons and equipment.

Almost all of them were wearing windbreaker-style combat uniforms that covered their entire bodies, and the eye monitors on their helmets emitted a creepy red light.

Moreover, the clones are equipped with mechanical skeletons that can only be used by the elite of the Federation, and heavy armor is hung on the mechanical skeleton to cover the important parts of the body.

Just by looking at its appearance, the infantrymen knew that the clones' weapons and equipment were far superior to those of the Federation.

What was even more horrifying was that the mobile infantry's precision shooters and snipers confirmed through their scopes that their bullets had successfully hit the clone's neck, side waist, and other parts of the armor that were weak.

Those clones that were severely injured neither fell to the ground and struggled nor shouted loudly. Instead, they continued to fight.

Only when vital parts are continuously injured will the clone fall to the ground and die.

This made the precision shooters and snipers who witnessed the whole process doubt their lives.

Is that something a human being can do?

The Morita precision rifles and sniper rifles they used could not kill a person with one shot, but the consequence of being hit by a bullet would be either death or disability.

However, after being shot, those clones were able to endure the pain and continue fighting, which really puzzled them, so they reported this phenomenon immediately.

Upon learning of this, Lyon and others rushed to the east side and looked out through windows and cracks in the wall.

Leon and Maggie know the characteristics of clones, but as native "locals" of "Starship Fleet", Rico, Tiz and others are deeply afraid.

Ace said with an exaggerated expression: "They can still fight after being shot several times?! Although they are enemies, I really respect their will! If it weren't a war, maybe I would buy them a drink!"

"Are you sure they are still human? You screamed and yelled when your hand was stabbed by the instructor, what about them?" Rui Ge asked back.

"Uh" Ace didn't know how to respond.

"Sergeant!! Look at this guy!"

"Oh my God, what on earth are we fighting?!"

Suddenly, several mobile infantrymen who were in charge of searching the underground warehouse of the mall came here shouting and dragging the body of a clone soldier.

Hearing this, Leon and others turned around.

The clone soldier's body was full of holes, with almost no intact part of his windbreaker-style combat uniform and the armor attached to his mechanical skeleton.

The wound was so deep that the bones were visible, and even the internal organs were exposed to the air.

The damaged helmets were also taken off by these infantrymen, revealing the true appearance of the clone soldiers.

It was a horrifying face that was pale, wrinkled, and covered with scars.

The clone trooper's eyes were still open with an expressionless face, and his pupils were blood red.

It seems that this clone soldier may have been injured by the shrapnel of the bombing, causing serious damage to the body and affecting his combat capability, and he was forced to find a hidden place to treat himself.

However, with injuries like this, even if he was discovered in time by the technical staff of the Biology Department, it would be too late to save him.

"Oh my god! Sergeant, are we fighting a bunch of monsters?!" Ace said in disbelief.

"There's not just one here, there are six more guys who look exactly the same," an infantryman added.

"Completely consistent." At this time, Maggie, who had not spoken much during the whole process, spoke up:

"Sergeant, they might be clones. And judging by their performance, the so-called human empire should have blocked their pain nerves."

"Clone"

"Um"

After hearing Maggie's explanation, everyone present nodded in agreement.

Indeed, cloning is not a strange word to the Federation of Starship Fleet.

In fact, the Federation’s biotechnology is not bad.

As long as the person is not dead and the brain, heart and vital organs are still intact, there is a chance of being saved.

Johnny Rico in the movie timeline, due to the ignorance of the federal high-ranking officials, became one of the first cannon fodders to land on the Zerg home planet Clandaff.

His right leg was directly pierced by the warrior bug, and he lost too much blood and fell into a coma.

But after being rescued by the lieutenant of the Hard-Boned Combat Platoon, the medical staff on the ship sent Johnny Rico into a medical cabin filled with nutrient solution, allowing his body to recover.

So when people learned that the Human Empire sent clone soldiers to fight, they could accept it. After all, it was more realistic than "monsters".

"Okay, stop standing there. Clones or not, they can be killed anyway."

Leon took over the conversation, looked at Ace and Flos, and ordered:

"Let the combat platoon that rushes into the town first help us build a communication base station here and make it the front-line command center."

"Yes, Sergeant."

After receiving the order, the two men left quickly.

Then, Leon looked at the several infantrymen who were in charge of checking the underground warehouse and said:

“You go and collect the enemy’s corpses and their weapons and ammunition. We need to recycle and make good use of everything of value. We may face a protracted war in the future.

By the way, pass this order to the other combat platoons and ask them to spare some manpower to assist you."

"Yes"

"Brother Rui, Xiao." Seeing the infantrymen leave, Leon checked his commander rifle and finally said to Brother Rui and Maggie:

"The first squad led by Rui Ge will follow me and the third squad to continue charging and expand the occupied area.

Xiao, the 2nd Squad you are in charge of will stay here with the 4th Squad.

Also, if Colonel Honard Thompson comes here and issues the same orders as mine, then let him do as he pleases.

If not, just ignore it, understand?"

"Understood, sir," Maggie nodded in response.

Rui Ge led the team members to follow Leon out of the mall and continued to advance to the east. He then closed the communication and said:

"Sergeant, by doing this, aren't you clearly going to confront the colonel? I'll tell you when we get back."

"Martial court?" Leon smiled bitterly and interrupted Rui Ge's persuasion:

"If we continue to let someone who knows nothing command us, it will be a question whether we can return alive. Let's solve the current dilemma first."

"Ok."

Rui Ge stopped reminding and immediately ordered the team members to guard the streets.

Moreover, with the communication links provided by Ace and Frost, their advancing team of less than 20 people received support from several combat platoons.

Finally, a total of more than 300 people formed an advancing team and began to expand the area they had occupied. At the same time, they also engaged in a battle with several tactical teams of clone soldiers.
