At this time, the radio hissed and a deep voice came from it.
"I am Captain Lastimosa. The airborne troops have landed. Hold on and wait for reinforcements from the large troops."
After saying this, Lastimosa controlled the Titan and strode away.
Titans and Pilots are the backbone of the war, so they naturally will not stay in one place for too long. They must effectively kill the enemy, and the enemy's Pilots and Titans are their main targets.
After the enemies in this area were eliminated by the Titans, Cooper and Bai You reunited.
"What should we do?"
Bai You asked Cooper.
He had never participated in such a war filled with gunfire. Once he made a wrong decision, he might die inexplicably under the gunfire.
"Let's go, let's follow the captain."
"Why? Isn't that the most dangerous area?"
There was no time to hesitate on the battlefield. Cooper started to act after giving the order, and Bai You followed him closely while asking.
"The landing point of the main force is far away from us, and it is not easy to rush over to join us. Our commander will not waste troops to rescue us ordinary riflemen."
Cooper said on the radio very quickly.
The sound of gunfire on the battlefield was very loud. Without the radio, it was difficult to hear what the people next to him were saying.
"Titans can quickly clear out ordinary enemy soldiers. Following the captain, the number of enemies we encounter will be greatly reduced, which will be safer, unless we encounter many enemy Titans."
Cooper is worthy of being called Cooper, and he can judge the situation very quickly. However, the Titans also move very fast, and it is impossible to catch up with them with flesh and blood.
Along the way, Bai You and his party encountered many remnants of the resistance army fighting bravely.
Even though there are Titans leading the way ahead, the enemy seems to have been prepared, and the troops deployed here are several times more than ours.
"This area, I'm Bandicoot-11, attached to the 1st Company of the 41st Militia Rifle Battalion. We're from the aircraft carrier USS McCarran. We've been shot down by the enemy. Requesting orders from headquarters, over."
"Can you hear me? Over."
"We can't contact headquarters. Who's still alive? Who's in charge?"
"Just shoot!"
"No, Ghost Warriors keep appearing, they're everywhere!"
"Then shoot everywhere!"
Ghost Warriors are a type of enemy. They are not flesh-and-blood soldiers, but robots, widely used by the IMC in war.
They have a set of combat procedures that make them no less capable than trained human soldiers.
Seeing their own soldiers in danger, Cooper and Bai You, who came from the rear, rushed to help.
"It's our people, we're saved!"
"No, there are too few of us, our defense line is about to be breached!"
At this time, Cooper said on the radio:
"There are too many Ghost Warriors, we have to move! Go! Don't worry about those damn robots."
In the chaos, Cooper stood up to command, giving these soldiers a direction.
The remaining troops fought and retreated, slowly distanced themselves from the ghost warriors in front.
"Be careful! Fragments are coming!"
"Fragments?"
a rebel rifleman asked in confusion, and then the area where he was was hit by a piece of metal, and the soldiers standing next to him and many ghost warriors were all smashed into meat paste and powder.
"It's the fragments of the spacecraft, be careful to avoid it!"
There were still many fragments in the sky, carrying blazing flames, attacking this area diagonally.
The chaotic battlefield became even more chaotic.
In this emergency, many of our own riflemen were crushed to death. Fortunately, the enemy suffered greater losses because they had more people and were more densely stationed.
"Retreat, retreat quickly."
Cooper commanded the remaining soldiers on the radio, left the battlefield, and continued to move in the direction of Captain Lastimosa.
This war happened too suddenly. Due to insufficient intelligence, we did not expect the enemy to have orbital guns, so the warship was destroyed and a large number of soldiers were lost.
Cooper and Bai You, the lucky soldiers who landed in the lifeboat, were also being besieged by the enemy.
Ten minutes later.
Bai You and Cooper led dozens of rebel riflemen and marched quickly on land.
For some reason, there was silence around, as if this was not a battlefield at all.
"What's going on? We haven't encountered the enemy for several minutes."
Someone wondered. The number of ghost infantry just now showed that the enemy had been prepared in this area.
"Could it be attracted by the large army?"
Cooper thought. We didn't know that the enemy had installed anti-orbital defense devices on Typhon, so the McCarran they were on was shot down.
If the enemy's original plan was to shoot down most of the warships and then send troops here to siege the surviving soldiers, that would make sense.
In fact, not so many warships were shot down, so the strength of our large forces was still intact. If they had landed and joined the battle, the enemy's focus would have shifted to that place.
"It seems that there is salvation."
Bai You was not blindly optimistic. He thought of something.
"Although all this makes sense, why did Captain Lastimosa call for the Titan to land here?"
To save a group of rebel soldiers including his student Cooper?
No, if that was the case, he would not have marched into the enemy's position alone.
"He must have a special mission, in this area."
Otherwise, his actions could not be explained at all. In this case, this area must not be safe.
Suddenly, Bai You felt the sound of wind above his head, and his mental perception kept issuing warnings.
Without time to see what was on his head, Bai You quickly grabbed Cooper and retreated, shouting:
"Everyone, disperse!"
Everyone was stunned. Although they didn't know why, they still did what Bai You said, but they were still half a beat slower.
Bai You rolled on the ground with Cooper, moving away from the warning range as quickly as possible.
Then, he heard a loud noise behind him.
It was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Bai You looked back and saw that it was a Titan that landed.
All the rebel soldiers around the landing point were flattened or stunned.
Some experienced veterans quickly pulled out their guns and fired, but for the Titan, these bullets were only slightly more useful than the summer cicada's urine.
The Titan's armor was very strong. In front of it, the rifles used by the rebel soldiers were no different from fire sticks. Bullets hit the Titan and could not penetrate it at all.
But it is not completely impossible to defeat the Titan with a rifle.
This mecha uses a special battery as its energy source. The battery is an insert-type design, and the insertion hole is on the shell of the Titan.
As long as all the energy batteries can be blown up, there is a chance of winning.
But the enemy is not a target, and the Titan that has landed has already started to act.
