Titanfall (2)

Monday morning.

"Bzzt..."

"Get ready. The fourth wave is here." reminder can be heard throughout the people with a Luna II or III devices on their wrist.

"Go, Go, Go!" the soldiers from other gangs prepared for battle. Now, eight platoons from Azure Wind Base are posted in this zone, which gave them the strength of 400 fully equipped soldiers.

As for those from the two Top Tier gangs, 1,000 soldiers were deployed for this wave, with three Abraham Tanks and five Spider II warming up for battle.

This time, they're no longer using the outdated Leishen and Daschund Rifles. Equipment from Ghostling, with some privately made Tactical Rifle, replaced their current equipment.

Even more remarkable is their ability to copy Qingfeng's Backpack System Variant. Half of a platoon is equipped with its own version of BSV, named Low-Caliber Railgun Pack. It was heavy to use but allowed their soldiers to have a better fighting option when against the Elites and Warriors.

Some of the smaller gangs came forward with their rented RR-HU, which is quite a surprise to the two Top Tier Gangs. Half of their soldier, about 600, were posted along the now completed wall to provide longe range assistance.

"400 meters from contact!" the soldier in the duty of alarming everyone continued.

"300 meters!"

"100 meters!"

"CONTACT!" swarm of bullets swept through the battlefield, with Water Lurkers moving faster this time. The shots fired by the soldiers seem to bring least to no effect at all on their durable carapace.

Although the RR-HU from Qingfeng brought the desired results, against a swarm of close to 5,000 mutants, the result is nothing worth to be mentioned. Even Zhang Qin Feng's soldiers are facing the same trouble.

As long the mutants managed to close the gap between them and reach the wall, their victory will be guaranteed.

But the second they stepped into the 50 meters distance, the Abraham and Spider II's bombardment reminds the mutants about mankind's strength. Each shell they fired killed at least three targets while injuring more. With the situation getting worst this early in the battle, there's no reason to delay their next shot.

"Bam! Bam! Bam!" shells were ejected out on the ground each time a shot is fired.

"Elites in sight! Weapon's hot!" a Lieutenant threw a grenade over to the crowd of mutants as he orders his unit to start firing. Using the Ghostling Tactical Rifle against the Elite, it's still possible to create a difference!

"Qingfeng Troops! We need assistance!" the second lieutenant's word came to Wu Manya's Luna III Device.

"Cao Zhen, press the button," Wu Manya pointed at Cao Zhen as he ordered.

Once again, Honeybee activated.

The entire battlefield got the bombardment it deserved.

But this time, their sheer number managed to withstand that attack. Blast radius was controlled using piles of flesh and brought mankind their first negative results.

It was powerful, but not powerful enough!

"Need to assist - Aargh!" the first casualty finally happened.

Warriors were born from contact with infected blood. The closer they get, the easier it is for the soldiers to get infected.

"Retreat! The soldiers from the wall shall provide backup to the vanguard soldiers! Qingfeng Soldiers, get ready!" the lieutenant from Yang Militarized Group ordered a full-scale retreat. With soldiers on the wall providing long-range assistance, it will be more manageable for Qingfeng's Soldiers to protect their back.

"Affirmative. The Azure Wind will provide cover." Wu Manya replied. With his next hand signal, Cao Ying and Cao Zhen covers the path returning from the northern and eastern hill.

A hundred RR-HU are ready to fire at their order.

"All soldiers, wait for my command," the Cao brothers put their hand on hold at their chest level.

"Hoo... Hoo..." they soldiers are listening to Cao Ying and Cao Zhen's breath as they patiently waited for their Alliance member's return.

...

...

While the battlefield is fighting for the safety of everyone behind their wall, Zhang Qin Feng tinkering on his Mother-Key.

On its display is a newer weaponry model, which just got added into his list of blueprints. Speaking of this blueprint, Zhang Qin Feng decides that he'll have to reward Elder Lucas.

The elder patiently persuaded the people from two top Tier gangs to sell proper parts to him at an attractive price. This time, he returned with a Minos Truck full of exceptional components.

One of them is this currently in made rifle, which has its production halted due to human right disagreement.

[Toot!]

[The manufacturing is complete]

[Gigacorp's Weaponry Division - Model M1-55-US (ChemRail) Rifle is now ready]

[Please take note that this weapon only accepts 9mm Rail-Accelerator Sabot Rounds. I had Olympus Peak prepared six mags for your entertainment, 16 rounds each]

Stein's reply made Zhang Qin Feng chuckled. Even a Spatial Quantum Supercomputer understands entertainment nowadays. Soon, Dao Bao came to collect the weapon and six mags of Sabot Round.

Zhang Qin Feng had Stein continue to produce the weapon with additional ammunition. He'll consider fitting a platoon with this weapon when the weapon report came back.

It takes Olympus Peak close to forty minutes to complete the M1-55-US rifle. But after a quick consideration of the name, he decided to shorten it into ChemRail.

Close to an hour later, the two returned with a shocked expression and a taken video.

From the recording, the weapon test came with a three-Point Destruction System. By testing the gun on Concrete, Tantalite Brick, and Grade-C Steel, they can roughly calculate the stability, destructive force, and efficiency of this weapon.

The recording shows how deadly is the ChemRail when they're fired on automatic mode. The sabots literally tear the Grade C Steel into two sections with the wall made of Tantalite Blocks still suffered damage.

The result is ridiculously over the chart. Perhaps it was due to the fact this weapon is similar to a railgun, only faster, crazier, and more destructive.

Each sabot is fired at a force equivalent to 600 kilojoules, which is comparable to a 150gm worth of TNT. Furthermore, because this ChemRail is made from an alloy with Duranium added in, it helps stabilize the weapon when firing.

If it was to be compared, firing a ChemRail in automatic mode is stabler than an RR-HU. Of course, trying to find the fault between the two guns is pointless as they both created for different purposes.

But when used in a battle against the crowd, a weapon like ChemRail produces better results compared to the slower firing RR-HU.

"Boss, if we're using this weapon..." Dan Bao wanted to tell Zhang Qin Feng his excitement if they issued the weapon on the frontline, but stopped before he's finished after he realized something.

"Bzzt!" Zhang Qin Feng was going to speak, but before he did, a buzz came to their Luna III Device. It was from Wu Manya, the lieutenant from the 1st platoon.

"Report," Wu Manya asked for permission the moment it's connected.

"We're listening," Guo Jing replied instead of them because he's the direct officer for Wu Manya and the other nine lieutenants.

"The frontline was pushed back from the fourth wave attack. We're currently defending the entrance to Alliance Fortress, but so far, the casualties have raised to 30 soldiers."

"What? How about the Honeybee?" Guo Jing cannot believe what Wu Manya just reported.

"Activated, but barely kill more than 1,000 mutants," Wu Manya answered without any excitement in his tone.

"I am calling to allow our backup platoons to participate in the battle," he asked for permission from Guo Jing. The latter turned to his superior for a reply, and Zhang Qin Feng nodded.

"Approved. You're allowed for one deployment." Guo Jing's reply made Wu Manya nodded at nothing.

"I will begin the preparation!" the call disconnected.

Back to the battlefield, the metal gate finally closed after the two platoons from Azure Wind retreated. But under the attack from Warriors and few fully grown Titans, it's falling is just an hour or two apart.

The Elites already started to climb the wall trying to reach the top. Right now, only Rifles and RR-HU works against the mutants. The APV, Abraham Tank, and Spider II are no longer useful in this situation.

"Platoon 1 to platoon 8, get ready for your order!" Wu Manya's voice echoed inside their ears.

"Return to Armory and get ready for your refit. We're moving to the next equipment. Regroup after you're done and help remind the workers!" the new order brings the 400 soldiers back.

Soon, all of them regroup right outside of their armory, with the same Honeybee package! Furthermore, the APV has been refitted with the same Hailstorm unit, ready to be fired at any time!

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, Sir!" the soldiers and APV drivers answered.

The scene even puzzled the two top tier gangs for a moment before they decided to ignore them.

"What's use using the same equipment all over again?"
