[Daily Mission: Wild Wolf Town has obtained your location information and has already organized people to attack the base… [Defeat this attack. Reward: 50 Technology Points]
” How did they know?!”
Zhao Yu didn’t expect that in less than a day, Wild Wolf Town would already know his location.
“It must be the surrounding villages…”
Zhao Yu realized the problem. Near the photovoltaic power plant, there were several small villages.
It’s likely that people from Wild Wolf Town had sent soone to inquire in various places.
The villagers, who had seen Zhao Yu and his people driving by several tis, might have inford on them, which seed normal.
“Forget it. Let’s fight!”
Zhao Yu was not one to shy away from a challenge. Since the enemy knew his location, he was ready for a straightforward battle.
Wild Wolf Town was heavily guarded and difficult to attack, but if they dared to co out, he could catch them off guard.
With this in mind, he quickly gathered several commanders to discuss the combat situation.
“Sir, there are two urgent matters…”
“One is to equip walkie-talkies to ensure that the reconnaissance team can be reach and relay information back…”
“Second is to acquire so drones to keep track of enemy movents…”
Zhao Yu imdiately went to the Munitions Factory, exchanged a batch of walkie-talkies, and equipped each Recon Soldiers with one.
He then dispatched the five mbers of the reconnaissance team under the command of a sergeant.
Following that, he exchanged for a batch of small drones, so electrical driven power and others fuel-powered.
However, no one under his command could operate these devices. He could learn but what he lacked most was ti.
Therefore, Zhao Yu spent the ten technology points he had naturally accumulated that day to train two drone pilots.
There were recon soldiers capable of controlling drones, but they were too expensive, so Zhao Yu chose the cheapest options.
Right now, what he lacked most were technology points. Other resources, besides gasoline and ammunition, were not in short supply anymore.
Therefore, Zhao Yu chose the costly military reconnaissance and strike drones, capable of both scouting and combat missions.
He also made a few regular reconnaissance drones, noticing so differences compared to the military ones.
The regular reconnaissance drones could be controlled with a notebook-like remote.
However, the high-end military reconnaissance drones simulated airplane controls with a complete ground cockpit. It had two joysticks for direction control and pedals for throttle and adjusting the drone’s flight attitude.
Moreover, the ground cockpit had a large display screen showing the drone’s view, with multiple modes, displaying the distance to the enemy and other paraters.
Of course, the military reconnaissance and strike drone Zhao Yu chose was not the best. The best ones were much larger, about ten ters long, like fighter jets, equipped with missiles.
Currently, Zhao Yu couldn’t manufacture missiles, so exchanging for such drones was pointless.
The drone Zhao Yu chose was a kind of small reconnaissance and strike drone, two ters in length, with a wingspan of over three ters, equipped with a machine gun for strafing missions.
“Operate the two Hummingbird drones to scout out the situation…”
The Hummingbird drone was smaller in size, one of the rechargeable models, and it was equipped with a high-definition cara for reconnaissance purposes only.
Although Zhao Yu had so gasoline on hand, it wasn’t much, so he decided to first deploy the electrical driven reconnaissance drones to survey the situation.
Under the control of the two pilots, two small drones took off, circling around the base to ensure there were no abnormalities, then flew towards the northwest.
Following this, Zhao Yu exchanged a large amount of military equipnt as advised by the commanders.
Mortars, rocket launchers, ladder trucks, and more.
Since his base lacked watchtowers and sentry posts, he acquired several ladder trucks that could extend up to a height of several ters, where machine guns or sniper rifles could be mounted.
Uncertain of the direction the enemy might attack, Zhao Yu didn’t deploy these ladders yet; they were kept near the base, waiting for intel from the reconnaissance drones.
“Report, suspicious targets spotted!”
One of the pilots suddenly reported to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu quickly gathered with several commanders.
On the drone’s display, a convoy of dozens of vehicles was seen moving along a road, heading towards the direction of his base.
“They haven’t discovered our drone, have they?”
“Report, sir, we’re on a covert reconnaissance mission, the drone is at an altitude of 1500 ters…”
One of the commanders explained, “At this altitude, unless they’re using telescopes or electronic radar to scan, it’s very difficult to detect such small reconnaissance drones…”
“Good!” Zhao Yu nodded. Now that the enemy was discovered, it made things much easier.
After detailed observation, the commanders obtained the information they needed.
“The enemy has a total of 150 people, equipped with rocket launchers, mortars, machine guns, and other weapons…”
This ti, the enemy had sent out all combat soldiers. Moreover, to prevent ambushes, they deliberately used more vehicles than needed, ensuring that each vehicle was not fully occupied. This way, even if they were attacked with rocket launchers, the loss of combat force would not be too significant..
