Chapter 31: Goliath in Flight
Strange to say, although the vulture chariot is inexpensive, it is a high-tech product of the 26th century from beginning to end, but when it starts, the engine, which looks very sophisticated, is constantly making sudden and loud noise, and the noise is comparable to that of an elderly tractor...
But at least it's faster than a tractor, and in fact, the Vulture is also the fastest of all the human standard weapons in the world, limited to the Army, of course.
The southern part of New Gettysburg is a slum, so the bugs didn't take special care of Tasannis when they attacked it, and there were quite a few human survivors in the midst of all kinds of shabby illegal buildings. And also because the bugs are not here, the star spirits are not here, and the son of Koha chose this place as the landing site, also because this is a vacuum area for the other two forces, so that it is convenient to gain a foothold in the first place.
As for the Tylen Federation troops, which are scattered around the world of Tassanis, struggling to catch their breath and unable to make any waves, they have been ignored at this time...
After the Sons of Koha landed here, they also rescued some of the surviving humans in the slums, but it is not known whether they did it in a humanitarian spirit, or if they were just trying to save some people, and then propaganda brainwashed them into fanatical cannon fodder fighting on the front line.
Because the street planning of this area is as chaotic as the mentally retarded, and the closer you are to the suburbs, the more illegal buildings are in a mess, and you can't even find a straight road, and in the official digital map of New Gettysburg, this area is still the same as it was ten years ago, so much time has passed and it has long been unrecognizable... Therefore, when the plan was formulated at the beginning, Xue Qiong did not believe that he could come up with a reliable escape route, so when the reincarnators really escaped, they were also completely chaotic, as long as the direction was roughly outside the southern city, it didn't matter.
According to Xue Qiong, if he didn't know where to run, how could the enemy catch up? Not to mention predicting their escape route and then blocking it ahead.
In fact, the siege and pursuit of the reincarnators by the Son of Koha only lasted for a while, and then it had to be stopped, and only a squad of scouts was dispatched, and the twelve vultures had just finished laying mines on the front line... In addition to the fact that tanks can't drive into the messy narrow streets and alleys, and the air force is fighting with the stars on the front line for air supremacy, the reason why the sons of Koha don't pay so much attention to the reincarnators is because they think that this planet will soon be completely taken over by the swarms, and these "remnants of the Federation Army" are just dead people in their eyes.
In fact, the reason why this vulture squad was sent to pursue the inexplicable "Federation Army" was only because the squad leader was their leader's brother-in-law, and the previous minelaying mission was easy and simple and there was no danger, and now they came to hunt down this enemy who was less than half of them, which was a manifestation of this kind of care.
Of course, the premise is that the commanders of the Sons of Koha don't know the horror of the reincarnations, and they don't know that according to the original plot, it is not only the Federation Army that will die at the hands of the bugs in the future, but also themselves...
The Vulture Chariot is the fastest ground vehicle in the Tyranid Federation, so all weapon standards are copied from the Federation, and even the son of Koha, who has not been working for a long time in the production line, has the fastest and only the Vulture. In terms of performance, the vehicles used by both parties are the same, and the speed is the same, so it is difficult to catch up with the reincarnators, but even if the reincarnators have experienced a lot of plot worlds, even if they have experienced a hundred battles, it is impossible for everyone to make a cameo appearance in the rampaging family, and even motorcycles are not necessarily familiar, not to mention that these are just vultures that are a bit like motorcycles in driving style, but they are still very different from motorcycles when they actually drive.
And the vulture team of the sons of Koha, although they drive the same car, but they have been systematically trained, even if no one has the face to call themselves the battlefield car god or something, but at least in terms of the skill of driving vultures, they are not known to be higher than the reincarnations, so soon, this team chased behind the ass of the reincarnators in the dirty and chaotic streets like cobwebs.
The howitzers at the head of the vulture opened fire, but the first attack was blocked by the guy who was left behind, a small shield behind him.
The bald head silently withdrew the wailing barrier, the firepower of the round just now was still a little dense, and the energy shield on the shield was directly blown away. The reason why he fell last, in addition to being responsible for protecting the team, is also because his driving skills are really not strong, and people will always want to seek stability when they reach middle age, and they always don't want to twist the accelerator.
He didn't make a warning, because his teammates could hear it clearly even if they were deaf, because of the big movement just now, he just added the accelerator and drove the car into the middle of the convoy... His energy shield had been used up, and now he was useless in this kind of intensive attack, so it was better to give that position to someone else than to stay behind and find death and block the way.
While the bald head twisted the accelerator, Xue Qiong also silently held the brakes, slowed down, and left his car behind. In the short interval between the two salvos of the vultures in the back, Xue Qiong and the bald head tacitly completed a defensive exchange, and then Xue Qiong stared intently at the rearview light screen, waiting for those vultures to fire another salvo, and then opened the telekinesis at the moment when the cannonball was coming.
But someone is faster than him.
The Goliath mecha, which was mostly running at the front of the line, and under the precise control of the driver, the speed of its two mechanical legs was actually equal to that of the vulture chariot, and suddenly stomped heavily in front of him, forcibly stopped his body, and then jumped high with the force of the recoil...
In the narrow alleys, this steel monster weighing dozens of tons jumped up like this, which can be regarded as covering the sky and the sun. Under the jumping mecha, five vulture chariots, which were already very fast, rushed over, and then the mecha fell to the ground heavily, splashing smoke and dust in the sky, making everyone feel a shock under their feet, and at the same time a pain in their eardrums, they also blocked in front of the twelve vulture chariots behind.
The Goliath mecha of the Tyrann Federation has short arms and cannot move, and is only used as a weapon platform, and even made into arms just for aesthetics. And the structure of the whole mecha is notoriously top-heavy, the weight of the upper body is not known to be much heavier than the two legs, such a structure is reasonable as a mobile firepower platform, but it should not jump up anyway, because in the air it does not have any means of adjusting the balance, although the power of the mechanical legs is enough to support the whole mecha to jump, but there is no special impact resistance design, so as long as it jumps, it must mean falling into a piece of parts...
But Du Zhenhuan did it.
In mid-air, the two legs of the mecha quickly changed two strange postures, and the upper body was slightly deviated to the side and forward, so as to change the center of gravity in the air, and even behind the mecha, it also shot an anti-aircraft missile at the enemy who did not exist in that direction at all, and forcibly completed the attitude adjustment in the air with the weak anti-thrust of that moment.
With this kind of mecha that is so weak that the melee performance is so weak that it makes people sigh because of the different design concepts, and makes people wonder if it is just because of feelings to be a human, it is a complex action that is absolutely impossible to appear in any military academy textbook in this world, and it is impossible to appear on any frontal battlefield, made by a bulky mecha, but can only appear on a gymnast or acrobat.
The reincarnators are okay, they don't know much about the Goliath mecha, so they don't have that much shock, they just feel that this is a move that Du Zhenhuan can do as a matter of course. After rushing from under the mech, they calmly braked the car one by one, and took out their weapons to prepare for battle.
But the pursuers in the rear have all participated in the frontal battlefield, and even if they haven't driven it, they generally know what kind of routine the Goliath mecha usually appears on the battlefield. Du Zhenhuan's sudden crazy action had a huge impact on the worldview of all the pursuers, so much so that after the huge black shadow hit their heads, they didn't have time to react... So the first two vultures were directly trampled by the mechanical legs, and all kinds of metal parts and human flesh and blood became two strange beaches on the ground, and the driver who followed was still in a daze, and he didn't have time to brake at all, so another vulture was directly mounted on the knee of the Goliath mecha, and then the front of the car was deformed, and the back half of the driver also flipped straight forward, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Rao is based on Du Zhenhuan's anti-heaven control ability, when the mecha landed, there was also a mechanical leg that had some damage under the vibration, and the already low flexibility was reduced again, temporarily losing most of its mobility. But this didn't matter to Du Zhenhuan, he activated the revolver cannons on both arms of the mecha, and while shooting wildly at the remaining vultures that had finally stopped the car, the other mechanical leg was also raised high, and he stepped on the nearest one fiercely.
At the same time, a deafening huge gunshot sounded from the side and rear of the mecha, which was the enchanted Gauss sniper rifle in Nangong You's hand and fired... With the familiar sound of the gunshot, the head of another driver in the pursuit exploded into a rotten watermelon without any suspense.
The battle was soon over. One of the most important reasons is that the weapon equipped with the vulture chariot is an anti-infantry grenade, and the kind of thing stuffed with iron pieces and steel balls is good against flesh and blood, but in front of the thick armor of the Goliath mecha, it is like scratching the boot, and these chariots also use light metal in order to ensure mobility, and the defense is of course not as good as pure steel plates, so the heavy revolver cannon of the Goliath mecha can easily shred the metal structure of the vulture chariot.
