Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 489 - 243: Airdrop

"For this mission, we’ll likely be facing nurous armored targets or heavily armored unmanned combat robots, so weapons with armor-piercing capability should be prioritized."

"A total of six explosive guns, one is with He Shuo, and there are exactly five here, just enough for us."

"Guo Xu, Liu Hao, Zhang Chao, you three wear the chanical exoskeletons."

"Li Shi, Ji Xing, you two can’t use the exoskeletons, but make sure to wear your bulletproof vests properly."

"Stun grenades and smoke grenades are essentially aningless, the opponent is likely equipped with infrared detection capabilities, so we don’t need to bring them."

"Carry more thermal grenades, each person should carry a base of eight."

"Rocket launchers... Is this thing really necessary?"

Chen Jian slightly furrowed his brow, and at this mont, Fu Xi’s voice also ca through the microphone overhead.

"There are several level-one or higher monsters on the outskirts of Mountain City; although the probability of conflict is low, I still suggest maintaining so anti-armor capability."

"It’s useless."

Chen Jian shook his head.

"If we really encounter a level-one monster, a few rocket launcher shots obviously can’t inflict effective damage on them."

"Our load is limited, so we must make choices."

"I need at least one 12.7mm caliber machine gun, two Model 201 general-purpose machine guns, and a large amount of ammunition."

"If we consider area killing weapons, we would also need a sniper grenade and a semi-automatic individual grenade launcher."

"As for indirect fire weapons, I think at least two Model 201 mortars should be carried."

"The load is completely maxed out, even considering the exoskeleton hook points, the margin is extrely limited."

"At most, there are 3 hook points left, less than 30 kilograms of surplus."

"What to bring? Rocket launcher, recoilless rifle, or grenade launcher?"

Chen Jian turned to Ji Xing, who pondered for a mont before tentatively asking:

"How about bringing a flathrower?"

"Flas should still be effective against unmanned combat robots, right?"

"Are you crazy??"

Chen Jian voiced his frustration:

"Mountain City is equipped with plenty of microwave and laser weapons. It’s reasonable to assu that the enemies we face will also have similar miniaturized weapons."

"By the ti a laser hits your fuel tank, you’d explode imdiately, wouldn’t you?"

"..... Lasers are visible, right? Shouldn’t they be avoidable?"

Ji Xing asked with confusion.

"..... You are completely naive."

"Infrared laser, ultraviolet laser, in reality, laser weapons aren’t visible light!"

"Got it..."

Ji Xing nodded thoughtfully, while Guo Xu and the others who were listening beside him were stunned and didn’t know why.

They actually didn’t understand the significance of "equipnt counterasures."

In their view, to make themselves stronger, it was nothing more than having larger calibers and faster rates of fire.

But now it seems...

It’s not just that.

Even if they are both grenades, the application scenarios of thermal grenades and fragntation grenades are different.

Previously, they never paid attention to these differences.

So, is this how the combat power of the Huaxia Army is stacked up in such details?

Guo Xu looked at Ji Xing and Chen Jian, who were still discussing weapon configuration, and suddenly spoke up:

"If we can only carry 30 more kilograms of equipnt, why not disassemble the heavy machine guns?"

"Each of us can carry a part, and after assembling it, use it as a fixed fire point."

"That way, we don’t have to consider too much constraint..."

"Good idea."

Chen Jian nodded slightly.

"Then that’s decided."

"Bring an extra 12.7mm caliber machine gun to increase the margin for error."

"Alright, the basic weapons are now set up, let’s move on to accessory equipnt."

"Huh?"

Guo Xu was dumbfounded.

"Isn’t our load already... maxed out?"

"The weapon load is maxed, but not the other equipnt."

Chen Jian gestured with his hand and said:

"Communicators, UAVs, night vision devices, PDAs, anti-sniper radar, smart goggles..."

"Also, evaluate your load with the equipnt you wear properly."

"If you have spare capacity, you can carry one or two more weapons."

"I need to go prepare the plane now."

"Ji Xing, you guide them in choosing."

"No problem."

Ji Xing imdiately replied, and Chen Jian walked out of the armory.

All the equipnt on him was already worn neatly, and at the airport, Lei Jie had also prepared the modified "ground attack aircraft."

However, it had now been converted into a dedicated transport plane by emptying out its cabin again.

"Is the equipnt arranged?"

Lei Jie asked.

"Arranged."

"Those three Forbidden Army soldiers are still a bit unaccustod, but our equipnt is actually not complicated."

"They can even handle linked guns, so the explosive guns should pose no problem."

"Indeed."

Lei Jie nodded, then said:

"But that’s not what I’m worried about...."

"Do you really think it’s aningful to drag these three Forbidden Army soldiers into this action?"

"I an, they are not Jin Zhong, and they have absolutely no intention of ’rebelling.’

"Moreover, they won’t betray the church anyti soon either."

"That fact was determined when they refused my request for them to retreat."

"Eventually, they have to return to Jinling City, we can’t truly keep them here."

"It’s precisely because they can’t stay that what we are doing now has aning."

Chen Jian exhaled lightly and pointed to Shen Yue, who was busy training a new batch of paratroopers nearby:

"You should ask Shen Yue about this issue, he’s the head of our political work."
