Chapter 0005 Warrant Officer
It's a nuisance.
What heavy artillery is most afraid of is a blow from the air.
After all, no matter how large the caliber of heavy artillery is, there is no way to defend it. The Red Devil Tiger's own armament of the Ballista-16 anti-aircraft missile, not a single one.
Rushing into battle is such a result. Weapons that should be equipped, none are equipped. Once you encounter the enemy, you will only be slaughtered.
Luckily, the Red Devil Tiger has a lot of weapons.
The super large body gives it plenty of space to equip with weapons.
There are eight direct-fire particle cannons equipped with various main mechs! There are two doors for each hand and legs. The caliber is still 152 mm.
And there are only two mechs in general! The caliber is still 122 mm. The power is a little bit worse.
There were also six sets of triple-mounted 20-mm anti-aircraft phalanx guns.
In addition, the Red Devils have sixteen sets of Gatlings.
Yes, you read that right, it's sixteen sets! 16 sets! Gatling spins the machine gun!
This is to prevent the enemy's infantry from close to close attack, specially installed all-round close protection system without dead ends. Can attack any angle.
Nam no Gatling Bodhisattva,
Six clean depleted uranium shells.
Three thousand six hundred revolutions in one breath,
Great mercy for the world.
No mech has more firepower than the Red Devil Tiger.
After all, it's a super-sized guy that weighs 880 tons. That's almost the equivalent of ten storm mechs!
As long as it is well operated, the Red Devil Tiger is a mobile battle fortress.
The 152mm direct-fire particle cannon can smash any main battle mech to pieces.
On the contrary, if it is an enemy's 122mm particle cannon, it will not be fatal if it hits the Red Devil Tiger. After all, its energy shield is not covered.
Yes, the Red Devil Tiger is protected by an energy shield. Same as space battleships. It has plenty of space to install an energy cover.
On the contrary, the average mecha is more compact. You can only discard the energy shield.
Now the question is......
The 152 mm particle cannon cannot be used.
It can only be used while on the march. It is in opposition to the 406-mm howitzer. Both cannot be expanded at the same time.
To fire a 406-mm howitzer, a 152-mm particle cannon cannot be used. Vice versa.
Well, can the firing of 406-mm howitzers be stopped now?
Of course not.
A million no.
Now the front line is hanging on 406-mm howitzers!
Once there is no threat of 406 mm energy bombs, the lone wolf mecha of the Hausa clan will be like a flood without embankment, instantly submerging all the Tang troops.
Therefore, the 152mm particle cannon can only be temporarily abandoned.
Part of the Phalanx artillery also had to be abandoned.
Due to the change of attitude, some of the Phalanx guns did not have a firing range.
Instead, there are sixteen sets of Gatling machine guns, which can be used in all directions without dead ends. It's a pity that it doesn't have much effect on attack aircraft and flying mechas.
Fortunately, for the time being the enemy's air strike force was not seen.
Keep launching!
Keep bombarding!
The crazy energy bomb turned the front line directly into a sea of fire.
It is extremely dangerous for any lone wolf mech to cross this sea of fire. Out of a hundred mechas, being able to successfully cross five is already lucky.
All the Buran artillery groups have stopped firing. There is no longer any need for them to shoot.
Energy projectiles with a caliber of 152 mm have little destructive effect.
According to the order, they were all ready to go to the front line and face to face with the lone wolf mecha.
Liu Zhenbei's heart suddenly sank.
He saw a familiar and unfamiliar name.
Lin Zhenyue!
The commander of the 803rd Garrison Brigade!
He also sacrificed. His name was also recorded on an obelisk.
This means that the other troops around Quarin Fort may have suffered a devastating blow and are gone.
Sure enough, the name on the obelisk increased to three thousand in a very short time. Immediately, it quickly broke through 4,000 and 5,000 people. The speed of increase made Liu Zhenbei stunned. This is a total slaughter! One-sided slaughter! The Don Army died too quickly!
"What? The army of the Zunqi Empire? ”
"The mecha legion of the Zunqi Empire is also attacking us?"
Beigong Yu's voice trembled obviously, "What? And the Simon Empire? They join forces to attack us? ”
"Zunqi Empire? Simon's Empire? Liu Zhenbei was also shocked in his heart.
No wonder the casualties of the Don army were so fast.
It turned out that it was attacked by the joint attack of two starry powers.
The Hausa tribe is only the indigenous of Jiaoluo Xing, and their strength is limited, and they are going around Jiaoluo Xing. Not to worry about.
But the Zunqi Empire and the Simon Empire are different. They are all behemoths like the Tang River Empire, and they all have hundreds of millions of planets. The number of armies is calculated in tens of billions. There are countless warships, countless warplanes, and countless mechas. They are in the control area of the Horned Luo Star, and they are also on a par with the Tang River Empire. Now with their participation, the defeat of the Tang River Empire's army is already doomed.
The most terrifying thing is that after they occupy the planet, will they launch attacks on other planets?
You must know that the current Tang River Empire is indeed relatively weak.
The chaos and war in the core area have been going on for more than a decade.
This kind of internal friction is very fatal to the national strength of the Tang River Empire. Once it is invaded by a strong enemy, it is really unknown whether it has the ability to resist!
The battle situation is erosive, and the gods can't get it back.
The only way is to save the living force for another battle!
To put it simply, retreat immediately!
It must not wait until Kwarinburg is surrounded.
Once it is encircled, no matter how powerful the heavy artillery is, there is no way to save it.
"Liu Zhenbei!" Chen Zhan shouted.
"In!" Liu Zhenbei knew what he was going to do.
"Artillery fire covers the retreat of the whole army!"
"Understood!"
Sure enough, it's time to retreat.
Chen Zhan's order was still very timely.
Retreat is also a technical job, it must be clean and neat, and it must not be dragged with mud and water.
Fortunately, the Quarin Fort military fortress is a purely military restricted area, and there is no military family, which saves a lot of trouble. Otherwise, those who drag their families with their mouths will not be able to run away.
"Do you know how to string mechs?" Chen Zhan asked.
"I don't understand." Liu Zhenbei replied.
"Parallel?"
"I don't understand."
"In this way, I will leave all the Red Devil Tigers to you to command."
"Huh?"
"I now promote you to the platoon commander of the Red Devil Tiger Heavy Artillery Platoon, and confer the rank of warrant officer! All the Red Devil Tiger mechs are under your command! ”
"Huh?"
Liu Zhenbei was deeply surprised.
The reward came too suddenly, and I wasn't mentally prepared yet!
He was still the lowest-ranking third-class private just now, and he became a warrant officer in the blink of an eye? A warrant officer is a reserve officer! It's not even enough to upgrade to three levels!
But the old man in the family said that it is not a good thing to be promoted too quickly......
To be a man, you have to be humble and low-key......
"I listened to Company Commander Chen Pianqi." Liu Zhenbei said slowly.
"No! He's going to retreat with us! Chen Zhan said, "He has another appointment!" ”
"What about the others?"
"Just the four of you!"
"What?"
Liu Zhenbei was stunned again.
It turns out that he is the commander of the light pole!
There are only three big soldiers under his own men! What is the use of such a promotion?
Sure enough, officials like to fool people!
"I'll send you someone who knows how to assemble mechas." Chen Zhan said again.
"I'm only three people, how do I do that?" Liu Zhenbei couldn't figure it out.
"No one else can do it. But you can. ”
"Why?"
"She'll explain it to you."
"What?"
"I'll tell you when she comes."
"Okay."
Liu Zhenbei said sheepishly.
I really wondered. How do four people command the twelve Red Devil Tigers?
Could it be that he has three heads and six arms? I'm not Nezha!
However, Chen Zhan was already busy directing the troops to retreat. He had already learned the news of Lin Zhenyue's death. The other regimental commanders also died. The 803rd Garrison Brigade collapsed.
Now, around Qualinburg, Chen Zhan is the supreme commander. He had to direct the troops to retreat.
Someone must break off the retreat. After the break, there will definitely be sacrifices.
Chen Zhan decided to personally lead the team to break the back.
Liu Zhenbei's Red Devil Tiger heavy artillery platoon is his greatest reliance.
