Chapter 246: Just Here to Provide Backup

"This is totally out of reach now!" SpectreM4 gazed at the helicopter in the sky, which had already distanced itself from them, and sighed as she looked at the imprinted weapon in her hand.

On the other hand, M1919A4 beside her still kept pressing the trigger, with dense bullets falling on the helicopter in clusters.

Unfortunately, they only sparked and didn't pierce through the enemy's armor plate.

Using the same ammunition as her, M1 Garand, after unsuccessfully attempting to aim at the armed personnel inside the cabin, reluctantly slung her weapon behind her back.

All those guys inside the cabin were wearing protective suits, so what's the point of shooting at them?

Even if they hit, what's the use? Bullets at this range simply couldn't penetrate; it's better to save ammo.

Moreover, the people in the helicopter weren't fools.

After the initial attack, they immediately closed the open cabin door, completely avoiding the possibility of being targeted by M1 Garand.

The helicopter in the sky had now turned its head towards them, and the inconspicuous machine gun hanging below it began to slowly turn towards M1 Garand and her companions.

"Retreat! Spread out!"

Seeing the movement of the helicopter, M1 Garand made a prompt decision and shouted loudly.

She pointed towards AK47 and then lifted M1919A4!

P38 also came to the side of AK47 and M14, carrying one in each hand. As for SpectreM4, she was hoisted up by UMP40.

HK416 frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Only the first burst hit, and afterward, although there were a dozen or so bullets, they didn't hit anything important on the helicopter, failing to cause any harm to the personnel inside.

As she carried the somewhat sluggish Elf, HK416 looked at the two sample guns in her and UMP40's hands. These two dolls weren't doing well either; despite firing so many shots, not a single one hit.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as the group of T-Dolls had just dispersed from behind cover, a barrage of cannon shells from the helicopter below rained towards them.

The cannon shells, loaded with high-explosive warheads, hit the concrete cover directly, causing it to burst open!

The weathered concrete, under the attack of the cannon, shattered into pieces, flying everywhere!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

SpectreM4, clasped under UMP40's arm, immediately felt many stone fragments hitting her body.

Coughing, perhaps because her clothes were thinner, her reaction was much greater than that of UMP40 beside her.

AK47 and M14 also had similar reactions, feeling the sensation of the stones hitting their bodies. Although it didn't break their skin, the pain was real.

In contrast, P38 and the others beside them weren't wearing skirts like them!

They all wore thick pants! Some parts of their attire looked particularly sturdy, almost no different from stab-proof vests!

They had been wondering before, why did M1 Garand and the others go back to change clothes before they set out... so they were all waiting here!

These flying stone fragments might not be able to harm their main bodies, but the surface layer of their biomimetic skin was very fragile!

Too cunning! Why didn't they remind us earlier! Did they already anticipate such a situation!?

Well, of course, it wasn't that M1 Garand and the others anticipated it, but because today was a gun trial, coupled with Simonov's miserable situation last night, M1 Garand and the others were all apprehensive, fearing they would also get damaged like Simonov.

Naturally, they had to dress more securely, at least not letting their main bodies get deformed.

Like Simonov, who had to have her head manually repaired after receiving two injuries, it was really embarrassing...

But that girl was really unlucky. After changing her body, she got injured twice, and both times were serious head injuries.

"Now what? The helicopter is moving now, and it's a bit far from us, making it difficult to hit them." P38, carrying two T-Dolls, asked M1 Garand.

"I've already sent a message to the commander, SPAS-12 should be able to come over soon."

"SPAS-12? Doesn't her powered exoskeleton not carry a machine gun? Shouldn't BM59 or Simonov come over at a time like this, or at least let M37 come over to support?" Hearing this, P38 immediately tilted her head.

Among the powered exoskeletons at home, only the powered exoskeletons of M1 Garand and her rifle T-Dolls carried machine guns. It seemed that SPAS-12's powered exoskeleton didn't have any anti-aircraft weapons, right?

"It should be the commander again..."

M1 Garand just started to speak, intending to say that Renault had come up with something new again, but a rumbling sound came from the direction in front of them.

A helicopter flew straight from the location of the factory area towards the airport!

"MDR! Have you locked on?"

"It's done! The fire control radar on this helicopter is outdated, and it's taking forever to lock on!"

Before the helicopter approached, M1 Garand and the others heard the familiar voices of SPAS-12 and MDR coming from the cabin.

And as MDR's voice fell, two missiles, resembling battle-damaged versions, were ejected from the weapons rack of the helicopter piloted by SPAS-12, and flew towards the helicopter that had been frantically firing at them from behind!

"Damn it! Decoy! Where's the decoy!?"

The helicopter's pilot, upon hearing the sudden alarm in the cabin, began to panic as he fumbled around, but no matter how he switched the switches, there was no sign of any decoy being launched!

It wasn't until he watched the missiles approaching him that he remembered...

This refurbished helicopter hadn't been reloaded with decoy flares at all!

It's over!

Boom!

The two missiles hit the helicopter successively, turning the helicopter that had just been aggressively firing at a few T-Dolls into a mass of scrap metal in an instant!

"Wow! How was it? Did we arrive just in time?"

MDR directly spoke in the communication channel, and as she spoke, she released the control stick in her hand, took out her phone, and took three consecutive photos of herself.

"If you were a little faster, maybe we could have taken down this helicopter as soon as it took off from home."

"How is that possible? The fire control radar on this helicopter is completely useless, I fired immediately after getting a response from it!"

Of course, she knew that the missiles on this helicopter had a range of over ten kilometers, so it wasn't impossible to shoot down the helicopter flying from the factory area to the airport.

It's just that the environment in the polluted zone affected the helicopter's radar system, and it didn't detect any flying vehicles at first. She had actually prepared to control the machine gun to fire at the helicopter as soon as it approached.

But fortunately, after getting closer, the fire control radar that had previously had no response finally started to work.

"Well, there was no need to fly the helicopter over here, right? Couldn't you have Simonov run over?"

"Cough, actually helping you take down the helicopter was just a side task for us. We actually came here to support you."
