The leader of the squad suddenly stopped and waved his fist to signal for them to stop moving forward. When the members behind saw this, they all stopped and looked around vigilantly.
A sergeant looked at the squad leader who was vigilantly looking around and asked in a low voice,"Captain, what's wrong?"
The captain looked around again and frowned."The forest is too quiet. I suspect that there's something nearby!”
The forest should be very lively in the early morning, but as they went deeper, it became quieter, as if there were no animals around.
After hearing the captain's words, he was also shocked. He felt that the atmosphere around him was a little strange. Then, he looked at the forest again. It was like a huge mouth that was choosing people to eat. He could not help but panic.
Li Jiulong, who had been staring at them, was full of questions when he saw this. Could it be that they had discovered something? That shouldn't be the case. However, they had already entered the predetermined location, so there was no need to keep them.
Just as they were vigilantly observing their surroundings, 200 meters away from them, Gate's cannon barrel began to spin. Then, flames suddenly appeared, and cannon shells shot out one after another.
"Wuwuwu!" "Boom!"
A ball of fire exploded on one of the team members 'body, and half of his body was missing. Blood sprayed out and flew everywhere.
"Enemy attack!"
This thought appeared in everyone's mind. Then, they quickly moved, preparing to find a thick tree as cover. However, it was already too late.
"Machine gun, damn it, throw the smoke grenade!”The squad leader was very lucky to avoid this wave of shots. A series of dense explosions sounded. The shells exploded on the tree trunk, and the bowl-sized tree trunk was directly blown apart, causing his pupils to shrink.
The team members had also recovered from the sudden attack. A few smoke grenades were thrown not far ahead. However, they did not know that the machine guns were not operated by humans, but by the base's AI. Smoke grenades were nothing to the Gate machine guns that had many detectors.
Gate's cannon stopped firing, and his turret started to rotate slightly. The cannon started to rotate again, and shells shot out at high speed. A team member hiding behind a big tree did not even have time to react when a series of cannon shells pierced through the tree trunk, breaking him in half.
Gate's machine gun began to roll call one by one. Although they wanted to run, it was all in vain. In less than a minute, everyone stayed in the forest. With the help of Gate's machine gun, they directly destroyed an elite special force of the Thousand Island Kingdom.
Li Jiulong wanted to see what other tricks the Thousand Island Country's army could use after he destroyed this special force. There were only two paths in front of them now. They could either continue to investigate or attack!
No matter which option they chose, he had already bought enough time. His strength had increased greatly every day. Although it was not enough to turn the world upside down, it was enough to protect the safety of the base. Not to mention anything else, just the firepower network he had set up around the base was not something they could break through.
Defensive buildings were useful, but they consumed a lot of electricity. He had already built three power plants, and two-thirds of the electricity was used on these defensive buildings. Now that the electricity was running out again, he had to build power plants.
When the time came to the next morning, Li Jiulong once again formed two platoons of troops, one of which was the mechanical infantry platoon. Now, there were already three mechanical infantry platoons in the base.
The other was the artillery platoon. There were only two 155mm super-light howitzers, two artillery divisions, and one ammunition supply division. Each artillery division used one cannon.
Artillery could be said to be able to attack and defend at will. It was his only long-range firepower.
This howitzer was also very advanced. It was very light, only about 3.5 tons. It was even lighter than the M777 howitzer equipped by the Bald Eagle Army.
The firing rate was between 3-5 rounds per minute, and the maximum range was 40 kilometers. Of course, if this cannon wanted to unleash its greatest power, it would need a lot of supporting facilities.
The smallest combat unit of the artillery was a company. With the current training speed of the Red Police Barracks, it was enough to build an artillery company in a day.
