In the end, Military Technology had no choice but to place another bet on Super Earth.
After all, Super Earth is considered a 'famous unit' among players, known for their courage to charge and fight without fear of sacrifice, often engaged in siege warfare, and rarely, if ever, have they been recorded to fail in direct confrontations.
A large batch of weapons, which can neither be seen nor purchased in Night City, was transported to the front lines by several hovercars from the rear by Military Technology.
Changing weapons at the last minute is not a good idea, as it would cause considerable trouble to logistics, but since Military Technology provided the weapons, logistical support naturally won't be withdrawn before the end of this battle.
Ordinary soldiers might find new weapons unwieldy and need so training ti to adapt, but those with high-level firearm skills not only excel in marksmanship but also adapt quickly to new weapons.
The lieutenant pulled out a rifle from a weapon box and introduced it to his brother in arms one by one.
"Swat Electromagnetic Technology Rifle, muzzle velocity 6.3 Mach, penetration depth 60mm...."
"Viper Loitering Munition, besides the conventional launcher, can also be aided with mortar shooting, available in high-explosive, cluster, incendiary variants...."
Regrettably, under the specific requirent of the Truth Departnt, Military Technology did not deliver the expensive and less practical smart firearms, as the profits from these are much higher compared to technical weapons.
The lieutenant then took out a few chips and a Super Dream Headband and said,
"Additionally, my superior hopes that you can assist in filming a wtwo about the use of these warfare weapons, which will be sold as part of product instructions in the future, hope you understand."
"Understood."
The Truth Departnt received the chip, although suspecting it might have more functions than just recording emotions, they didn't say much.
When facing hostile hacker intrusions, players generally just end up with so DEBUFFs or simply die, as no one has ever extracted any intelligence from players' minds, so players have always been unconcerned or possibly unaware in this regard.
After the elite squad led by his brother in arms finished distributing the weaponry sufficient for over fifty people, Super Earth began to assemble, preparing to launch an attack on Hokuma according to the original plan.
But at this mont, the command channel suddenly received new information, regarding the upcoming tactical guidelines, with minor changes compared to before, including the drones from the rear also adapting to the electronic warfare systems bought from Military Technology.
Upon reading, the Truth Departnt didn't know what to say, only uttering a single phrase after a long pause:
"....6...."
Then contacted the Mongolian Toplaner
"Did you finish organizing the firepower plan on your end?"
[Mongolian Toplaner: "As long as your scouts don't screw up the reporting points, there shouldn't be any issue, okay?"]
Once everything was ready, the Super Earth unit advanced, simultaneously launching the Sky Net to control the Reaper drone swarm, moving towards the Hokuma outer defenses over a dozen kiloters away.
————
Since the night of the air raid days ago, when zombie units popped out from air-dropped coffins, Skai has been escaping back to Hokuma, where he constructed defensive structures and remained defensive.
The events of that night were just like a nightmare, even by the next night he dreamt of a stealth soldier lying next to him, awakened by the maniacal laughter and stayed awake for the rest of the night.
The opponent's multiple probing attacks were all repelled by the periter defenses he set up around the town, waiting until more units arrived one after another, with a total of four or five chanized infantry battalions, tank companies, and artillery companies each joined, forming a blockade line before he gradually relaxed.
Especially, when the new radar equipnt from the rear started functioning, any drones from the opponent were imdiately detected as they approached, followed by the air defense vehicles launching missiles to take them down, the process was relatively smooth.
Subsequently, the number of reconnaissance drones from the opponent indeed decreased.
This led Skai to think that perhaps that night's sudden attack led to their defeat, as those people's skills were typical, and once troops encircle them for a joint attack, driving them off the beach was just a matter of days.
An aide ca in carrying a report, saying to Skai:
"Radar detected enemy drones appearing, but this ti they are staying out of missile range, is it possible they are too scared to co in after being hit before?"
Skai shook his head:
"I don't think so, it feels like they are asuring our radar detection range."
After thinking for a mont, he asked,
"Are you sure there's only one?"
After contacting the periter, the aide answered:
"Another three were detected by radar, they seem to be attempting to bypass routes and approach us, one target has already been locked by air defense missiles."
A few seconds later, the aide added:
"Air defense missiles hit the hostile drone, target signal disappeared, other drones have returned and retreated, only the initial drone remains hovering at the periter for reconnaissance."
This inexplicable act of sacrificing one drone raised Skai's alertness.
Is this an attempt to exchange drones for missiles?
Or are they testing our anti-air firepower?
Wait..... there is still one drone left
Suddenly recalling sothing, Skai hurriedly asked:
"Where have we deployed our air defense jamming radar?"
The aide confidently replied:
"Three kiloters behind the village in an open field, they can't get past our lines to strike the air defense site, they can't even find it."
Yet Skai said, "Relay my order, relocate the radar vehicle just in case."
However, his order was already too late.
The drone that had been hovering on the periter, unlike others, was not just there for a short visit, but the signal relays from the airborne early warning aircraft behind.
Even the first drone that was taken down was rely a decoy.
The purpose was to bait the opponent's air defense to preemptively fire, the multiple directions and multiple instances of radar-interfered Reaper drones instantly captured the air defense fire control paraters, relaying them back to a Reaper AEW radar several kiloters away.
Then, the Reaper that had been outside the firing range all this ti, fired an air-to-ground missile purchased from Military Science with a swish.
That expensive, precious, European Community Sweden military-produced radar vehicle, safeguarded at the rear with heavy troops, was rcilessly torn apart by the player's big hand, pulverized in the flas.
Before being utterly humiliated, it tried to fight back by launching an air defense missile.
But sotis, defense systems contribute to their downfall, and more so when the attacker isn't using second-hand goods, the Military Science sent specially made for advertising and wtwo's stuff, can it be inferior?
This is the systematic way of unmanned air force warfare, even though it was simply assembled using the equipnt players already had, it took out Hokuma's air defense system at a stroke.
If it wasn't for advertising for the client's side and just in case, it wouldn't even need Military Technology's missiles to take down the opponent's air defense.
Inside the Cyberspace command room, players coming back online saw the live transmission from front-line drones, and the vanishing interference signal made their mouths gape wide. Just like that, a radar disrupting them for two days was destroyed, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
Family Joy maintained modesty but had a gleam of pride in the corner of their eyes.
"Piece of cake, this is sothing we stopped using over ten years ago, it's a retired tactic."
"Over ten years ago? Retired?"
"Ahem... nothing."
