Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh new information
"What a surprise!"
After everyone left and there were only Reiming Kai, Lokita, and the strong man standing behind him in the room, Lokita spoke slowly.
"I wonder why Leader Lokita is surprised?"
Lei Mingkai replied knowingly.
Even if Lokita didn't say anything, Lei Mingkai knew what surprised this man with a disabled lower limb and only one eye.
As an ordinary reporter, even if he is wearing the uniform of the federal army, he has no way to travel alone through this tropical rainforest, which is undoubtedly difficult for ordinary people, and at the same time carry that
equal quantities of materials.
Not to mention, there is still room for it to be placed near this village without anyone noticing.
Therefore, as long as Lokita is not stupid, he will naturally think of this aspect,
Seeing that Lei Mingkai was obviously pretending to be stupid, Lokita chuckled and didn't point it out. Instead, he changed the topic and raised his hand to signal to the strong man standing behind him.
The strong man nodded, turned around and walked into the inner room.
"So, Mr. Second Lieutenant, I don't know what you want to know? If you give us such an expensive gift just for the simple reason of an interview, then I will just accept it."
Lokita's remaining eye shone shrewdly deep in the depths.
"Haha. I knew I couldn't hide anything from you, leader of Lokita. That's right. The purpose of my coming here is not just as simple as an interview. My fundamental purpose is to find out the distribution of the Zeon army strongholds hidden nearby.
.”
As soon as Lei Mingkai opened his mouth, Lokita frowned. But after he pondered for a while, a look of understanding appeared on his face.
At the same time, the strong man who walked into the inner room also returned to Lokita's side, and in his hand was a stack of photos that was estimated to be about 3cm thick.
"Second Lieutenant, I guess that's your purpose?"
Rokita took the stack of photos from the strong man's hand, and while handing it to Lei Mingkai, he said slowly:
"A few days ago, a battle broke out between the Federation and Zeon not far to the east. The result of this battle was that the Federation won by seizing the goods transported by the Zeon army and defeating the Zeon army.
I believe the reporter should know about this matter."
Lei Mingkai nodded while taking the photo.
"Yes. Not only do I know, but I also witnessed that battle."
However, before Lei Mingkai had finished speaking, his attention was attracted by the shadow on the photo.
The shadow had a shape that violated aerodynamics, but the tall and protruding cockpit and the flat, wide and weird shape made Lei Mingkai recognize its identity at a glance.
Dora.
This is a transport aircraft developed by Zeon. It is mainly used to transport soldiers and supplies.
It was this kind of machine that was actually photographed somewhere in this tropical rainforest by Lokita's men.
From the scenery in the photo, it is easy to see that this Dora is flying over this tropical rainforest as a single aircraft, and its flying altitude is at the lowest altitude of the flight limit.
You can even fly close to the tops of trees.
"It's true that a talented artist is brave."
Lei Mingkai looked at Dora in the photo and sighed secretly.
Lokita ignored how Lei Mingkai lamented how brave Dora's pilots were, and continued:
"The time when the aircraft was photographed appeared was probably around the same time as the battle between the Federation and Zeon. Our eyeliner captured the appearance of this aircraft."
Rokita paused, staring at Lei Mingkai with his one eye, watching the changes in Lei Mingkai's facial expression.
"Mr. Reporter, why do you think this aircraft flew alone and in such a dangerous flying attitude over the rainforest?"
The answer is obvious.
Lokita's question was nothing more than a clear answer.
While Lei Mingkai participated in the ambush battle as a pilot of the Sixth Squadron, such an unknown thing actually happened somewhere in this tropical rainforest.
If Lei Mingkai hadn't come to this village on a whim today, he probably wouldn't have known that something like this would happen again.
"It's cargo."
Lei Mingkai was silent for a while and said an ambiguous word.
But Lokita didn't care whether this word was close to the truth. All he knew was that his guess was right.
During the MS battle between the Federation and Zeon, this Dora quietly flew through the rainforest in a low-altitude penetration posture without anyone noticing.
There are no secrets here, and no one can believe it.
"Lieutenant, are you interested?"
After learning that his guess was correct, Old God Lokita spoke from the ground.
Obviously.
The man who maintained this militant group with his broken body is up for sale.
This is also inevitable.
As a militant struggling to survive in the gap between the Federation and Zeon, you must learn this survival skill.
"I want its location. Can it be done?"
Holding the photo in his hand, Lei Mingkai pondered for a while.
If you can exchange materials for the information you want, this business is still a good deal.
After all, no matter how Lokita and other militants guessed, they would never guess that the person standing behind Lei Mingkai was not the Federation, but a huge force from another world.
Therefore, exchanging some unimportant materials for important information can be described as a satisfactory transaction for both parties.
Lokita didn't speak, but held out three fingers.
"Thirty percent? Yes. As long as you can take me to the destination, I can add another 30% to the original amount."
In the end, Lei Mingkai's generosity allowed the deal to be concluded.
However, before heading to the destination where Dora was hidden, Lei Mingkai still needed to make something.
"Chief, send someone here! Next, I should go to support Captain Amada and the others. Only by freeing their hands will our next journey be easier."
Lokita lowered his eyes, but quickly raised them again, nodded, and approved Lei Mingkai's suggestion.
Half an hour later, under the leadership of the subordinates sent by Lokita, Lei Mingkai took a shortcut from this small mountain village and returned to the station of the mechanized mixed brigade.
After just settling in the villagers who had followed him, Lei Mingkai was blocked by a 74-type air-cushion truck before he could enter the camp.
"Hey! Lieutenant, what are you still dawdling about? Your body is waiting for you!"
Moster poked his head out from the sunroof on the roof of the car and waved to Remingkai repeatedly.
"Hurry! Second Lieutenant! Those guys from Team 8 seem to be in serious trouble and are waiting for us to come to the rescue!"
"trouble?"
Lei Mingkai blinked and subconsciously looked at the location of the villagers who were following him.
It seems that once upon a time, Lei Mingkai remembered that with the help of Qiqi and other militants, Team 8 finally captured the Zeon Army's stronghold.
Why is it now that the sixth team is asked to go to support?
Although he was confused, Lei Mingkai decisively turned around and ran into the station. Under the greeting of the maintenance team, he jumped on the No. 3 Marine Gundam in one breath, picked up the gradually improved meteor hammer, and strode like lightning.
Walked out of Gnaku and walked towards the outside of the station.
"Didi!"
As soon as the cockpit of the No. 3 Marine Gundam was closed, the communication from Team 6 Captain Leot came in.
"Second Lieutenant. Now we need to immediately go to the area where Team 8 is located to provide support. Have you received it?"
"Copy that! Captain! I have no objections. In addition, while I was out collecting information, I gained some intelligence. I need to take a local cooperator with me to continue the investigation deep in the rainforest after this battle."
Lei Mingkai responded, and then told the results of his trip very calmly.
This also made Leot feel a little embarrassed while being surprised.
The local residents mentioned by Lei Mingkai, Leot, and even everyone in the entire mechanized mixed brigade are very clear. In their impression, the local residents are undoubtedly difficult to deal with, very resistant to foreigners, and even in violent moods.
Sometimes, they will also take drastic actions that harm the lives of others.
After much hesitation, Leot finally spoke:
"In that case, let him get on Murst's hover truck! However, we must give a warning. Except for the duty of guiding, he is strictly prohibited from touching any equipment and facilities."
Having said that, Leot added.
"Sorry! This is my bottom line. I'm afraid it's also the sentiment of everyone in the mechanized mixed brigade. Before you came here, Second Lieutenant, we had already had many bloody conflicts with local residents."
Lei Mingkai was well aware of what Leot said.
"Understood! Then, please go and pick up that man, Meister. It's right next to the woods just now."
Lei Mingkai readily accepted Leo Te's suggestion.
After receiving the follower of the villager, Moster followed closely behind the three Land Combat Gundams.
The battle area where Team 8 is located is neither far nor close, but at the speed of the Land Combat Gundam, it will still take nearly an hour.
Moreover, half an hour ago, Meister's Type 74 air-cushion truck had already parked somewhere deep in the rainforest, and pierced its sonar deeply into the mud beneath the air-cushion.
"1,2,3, well, there are also forts."
After activating the sonar, Most settled down and carefully analyzed the feedback from the sonar.
"Captain! The enemy has three Zaku IIs and some forts that are still in operation. How many of them! In addition, I seem to have heard the propeller sound of Zeon's combat helicopter."
"Three Zaku IIs? It is indeed a tough battle. Everyone, move forward at full speed! We must join the battlefield before the entire eighth team is wiped out."
"Yes! Captain!"
The fighting spirit is extremely high.
It's just a Zaku II that defends in conjunction with the firepower of the position.
There is nothing to be afraid of!
“Chug tug tug tug!!”
The 100mm machine gun kept roaring, and the No. 2 Marine Gundam of Team 8 driven by Kallen was holding up the shield in its hand, struggling to survive the enemy's fire.
If it hadn't been for that seemingly small but actually quite practical shield, I'm afraid the No. 2 Marine Gundam of Team 8 driven by Kallen would have been disabled!
"Sandas! Where is the captain?!"
As soon as Kallen finished speaking, the machine gun turrets above the Zeon stronghold suddenly exploded one after another without any warning.
In just a split second, the Zeon position that had been effectively blocking the Land Combat Gundam of Kallen and Sandas was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire.
The main culprit that caused this sea of fire was the No. 1 Marine Gundam of Team 8 driven by Shiro Amada.
"boom!"
As the roar of the backpack exploded, the No. 1 Marine Gundam of Team 8, which fell from high altitude to the bottom of the water, soared into the sky and rushed straight over the Zeon army's position.
"Success!"
Seeing that under his control, the No. 1 Marine Gundam of Team 8 continued to do things that the previous commander of Team 8 could not do.
This also made Shirou Amada feel a little elated.
"Look out! The helicopter is coming!"
Qiqi, who was holding on to the driver's seat tightly, suddenly raised her hand and pointed.
Shirou Amada followed Qiqi's finger and immediately saw five combat helicopters appearing in an attacking formation over the Zeon battlefield.
In the blink of an eye, these five combat helicopters rushed into the sky above Kallen and Sandas.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Da da da da da!"
Without any hesitation or shouting, the moment the encirclement of combat helicopters was completed, the Land Combat Gundam driven by Kallen and Sandas was immediately surrounded by dense bullets and missiles.
"defense!"
Karen screamed.
The two Land Combat Gundams stood back-to-back, and while raising the small shields in their hands, they wildly swept the ammunition of the 100mm machine guns over the area.
Kallen and Sandas are in a precarious situation.
Even though the armor on the Land Combat Gundam is strong enough, the enemy is capable of attacking from all directions.
When faced with the staggering number of barrages and roaring missiles, Lei Mingkai discovered that even the most skilled pilots would only choose conservative defense strategies.
without any free time,
There was no announcement,
With just a simple pull of the trigger, the combat helicopter hovering over the Land Combat Gundam driven by Kallen and Sandas easily forced Kallen and Sandas back.
"Don't panic!"
At this moment, Shiro Amada's voice appeared. At the same time, the sound of a 100mm machine gun sounded again.
The barrage flew through the air from top to bottom, and also flew from bottom to top.
The only difference is that the combat helicopter followed the path of its predecessors.
explode,
explode,
Still exploded.
Amada Shiro, who was hiding in an unknown shadow, slightly licked his lips that had become a little dry. The No. 1 Marine Gundam he was driving was also firing bullets one after another, attacking Kallen and Sandas.
The combat helicopters of the Land Combat Gundam were shot down one by one.
