Girls Frontline: Griffin Security

Chapter 26 Highland Defense

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two flares suddenly launched into the air, shattering the brief silence, and then the sounds of heavy machine guns and tank engines came from the woods opposite...

"Commander, the enemy has begun to attack!"

"Understood, all humanoids, get into combat positions. Hide behind the ridgeline and block the enemy as I assigned you to do before. Stay away from the boulder shelters and fire in echelons!"

While giving orders, Xu Bin limped towards the observation position, leaning on his rifle.

Generally speaking, a fighting team that wants to defend a high ground will deploy its troops on the direct slope.

The so-called positive slope is the side of the high ground facing the enemy. Only there can the defenders spread their troops evenly and fully exert their firepower to attack the enemy.

The situation on Xu Bin's side was different. He had only seven combat-capable humanoids. Not only would it be meaningless to place them on the direct slope, they would also be fully hit by the enemy's firepower. By then, even digging trenches would not be able to save themselves (the enemy's trainee soldiers had grenade launchers that could attack the trenches on the direct slope).

But hiding behind the ridgeline is different. The ridgeline is the ridgeline at the top of the high ground. It can fully hide the position of the humanoids and protect them from artillery fire.

The principle is actually very simple. When the humanoids hide behind the ridgeline, they only need to stick out half of their heads to shoot each time, and they can accurately take out an enemy. When the enemy's covering fire notices this position and aims at it, the humanoids have already retracted their heads and left.

Not only that, this tactic can also render the enemy's grenade launchers and tank guns ineffective.

First, the grenade launcher is a curved-fire weapon that requires the operator to make corrections after observing the landing point. But the humanoids are hiding behind the ridgeline... This means that the grenades fired by the grenade launcher will either explode at the highest ridgeline or explode on the reverse slope that the operator cannot see.

This made it impossible for the operator to observe the landing point of the grenade, so he could only shoot at the reverse slope where there was no one. In addition, the cadets were not fully trained, so these grenadiers simply became the atmosphere group on the battlefield, and the humanoids were too lazy to shoot them with bullets.

Next came the tanks. At this moment, the enemy brought in two Type 95 light combat vehicles to cover the infantry's advance. However, these direct fires, like the grenade launchers, basically hit the highest point of the ridgeline, or flew directly into the sky along the ridgeline, basically threatening the fighting humanoids.

Correct tactical command, strong combat capability... With these advantages, the members of the Pacific Squad were able to pin the enemy down in the open field ahead, preventing them from advancing even a bit.

Boom!

A high-explosive bomb was fired by an enemy tank and landed on the "rock bunker" that Xu Bin had mentioned earlier. Then the Japanese grenade throwers also reacted and fired grenades there.

At this moment, M1918BAR, who was lying not far away, shuddered with fright.

When the commander asked her to stay away from the boulder shelter, she couldn't understand why he asked her to give up such a good position?

Now she understood that the more conspicuous the cover was, the more likely it was to attract the enemy's attention. The commander had saved her life...

"M3, the enemy tanks are about to enter the preset ambush site, prepare to attack!"

"Got it, I... promise to do it well!"

At this moment, M3, who was inside the turret, put down the intercom, kicked the driver M1911 on the back and shouted:

"Drive to the designated location and return after ten seconds."

"Okay~ Drive to the designated location and return in ten seconds~"

The latter pulled up the joystick and drove the captured tank forward...

In the period before the enemy launched the attack, Xu Bin had already found the best ambush position for his tanks and calculated the shooting parameters.

At this moment, M3 and her team only need to drive the car to the designated position and then fire at the enemy, but when the enemy tanks want to fight back, they have to measure the distance and calculate the trajectory on the spot.

This is the importance of a commander to the team.

Bang!

The tank where M3 was located opened fire, and an armor-piercing grenade flew towards the enemy tank. With a "clang" sound, it hit the interior of the Japanese turret, and then with a "bang" the ammunition exploded.

"One hit, reload~"

M1911 temporarily took over the communications soldier's position and reported the battle results to Xu Bin via the walkie-talkie.

At this time, in that open ground, another surviving enemy tank only discovered that the vehicle behind it had been destroyed after being reminded by the following infantry. It then hurriedly turned its gun around and began looking for the target.

"Damn it! Where did the enemy's artillery fire come from?"

The commander of the Type 95 light tank was very anxious. He stuck his head out of the turret and began to search for the target with a telescope...

call out---

Click——

Only two strange noises were heard, the first came from the air being cut by a bullet, and the second came from the driver's head...he was shot in the head.

The shot was fired by Xu Bin, who was lying in an inconspicuous position observing the battle situation when he saw this damned ghost sticking his head out...

"Yuta, help me pull the trigger!"

Xu Bin spoke weakly to the child lying beside him, and the latter then used both hands to laboriously help him complete the operations of ejecting the shell and resetting the bolt.

He was so weak now that he didn't even have the strength to load the bullet. He even had to ask Yuta to help him hold the rifle to reduce the shaking when pulling the trigger. It was a miracle that he could hit the tank commander just now.

"call....."

Xu Bin rubbed his painful shoulder, put down his rifle, and continued to observe the battlefield.

Bang—!

Under the operation of M3, the second armor-piercing grenade was fired out of the barrel, and the last enemy tank also fell down. Soon, a raging flame burst out from the turret.

"Report to the commander, both enemy tanks have been destroyed, requesting to take the initiative to attack the enemy infantry."

"No, retreat to the reverse slope and wait."

Xu Bin flatly rejected M3's proposal.

In fact, it is reasonable to let them drive the car back at this time.

The two shots fired earlier had already exposed M3 and the others' position. At this time, they didn't know what equipment the enemy had hidden in the woods in the distance. What if the enemy had direct-fire artillery? At that time, even a heavy machine gun could threaten this poor thin-skinned coffin, so it was the safest order to let them retreat at this time.

However, M3 did not understand the commander's thoughts at this time. She thought that she was withdrawn because her artillery fire was too slow... and did not satisfy the commander.

This timid girl, like the M3 submachine gun, often feels inferior because of her low cost...

After driving the car back to a safe location, M3 immediately squatted in the small turret compartment in shame, and said with a little cry:

"Ahhhhh...it's all my fault for not firing well. I disappointed the commander..."

"What are you talking about? You don't think you are hated just because the commander rejected your proposal, do you?"

M1911 released the joystick, covered her face and said shyly:

"He's such a gentle person, and he saved me with a shot before... Darling~ so cool~!"

The enemy was now being pinned down on the open ground by other humanoids, and the two humanoids, M1911 and M3, whose weapons did not have a sufficient range, had a moment of leisure. They were able to chat while waiting for orders.

At the same time, Xu Bin, who was lying on the observation seat, did not have the leisure to figure out the girls' inner thoughts. He was almost going crazy!

Now he is relying on his own eyesight to observe the enemy's movements, and at the same time he has to use the walkie-talkie to indicate high-value targets to the T-dolls using rifles. Sometimes they are so busy that he has to lift up his Type 38 rifle to help, and he doesn't even have time to drink a sip of water!

How many of these bastards are there?

Xu Bin couldn't help but feel a headache. Nearly a hundred people had fallen on the open ground in front of him... The other side was still rushing forward recklessly. Are you zombies?

Xu Bin was just thinking about taking a breath as Yuta reloaded the bullet for him, but suddenly he heard the report from the doll that he least wanted to hear at the moment:

"I'm running out of bullets!"
