Chapter 393: Top Student
After being out of sight of the Imperial fighters, the Bloodhell Commandos ran towards the right flank of the Imperial base as fast as they could. They were to attack from the right flank of the Imperial base around the rear of the base. Since there is that kind of terrifying range and power beam cannon in front of the base, let's go around to the places where those giant cannons can't hit and attack, as for why they chose the right flank, it is because they are not sure whether there are also that kind of terrifying weapons in the hangar on the right, maybe only the left wing of the imperial base has that kind of weapon in the hangar.
Several times the Imperial fighters tried to climb high to see the movements of the 177th attack force, but the two Hellfires above their heads did not easily let go of the rising Pru, and after losing four Pru, the Reich pilots refused to climb high.
"This is the first and second commando of the 146th Attack Force's Sand Fox Squadron. 177 Attack troops, I heard that you are in trouble, and we are here to support you. "Another Federation warrior unit has appeared on the right flank of the Imperial base, they are responsible for attacking the right flank of the 177 Attack Force Imperial Base, obviously the 146 Attack Force composed of the main force of the Sand Fox Squadron has completed their mission, and has also sent half of the mechs to be led by their squadron leader to support.
"146 Attack Force, have you conquered the Empire's 604 transit base? How did you deal with those horrific beam cannons with terrifying range and power? Joe asked, surprised. Although Strike Force 146 had a whole squadron of fighters, Joe didn't think his troops would be worse than them, and the fact that they were able to easily pick up nine bears without any serious injuries was a testament to the fact that the guy's confidence came from.
"What beam cannons? There are only two two-pack 680mm defensive guns in the 604 transit base. "That Fox Squadron Leader confused Joe's inexplicable words.
Joe opened his mouth for a moment, then let out a wail. "Are you sure?" Why are we so unlucky? Not to mention the shift change of the 177 outpost, and the only base in the empire with a secret weapon, oh my God, is it April Fool's Day? ”
"Alright, Joe, stop complaining." Garth stopped Joe's howl and welcomed the pilot of the Shuffleboard squadron, "Thank you for coming to help us. Sand Fox Squadron, we're worried about the lack of firepower after we break into the Imperial base. Your arrival could not have come at a better time. ”
"This is what we should do, there is nothing to be thankful for, 177 Attack Force." The squadron leader of the Sand Fox squadron said politely, and then asked Garth about the terrifying beam cannon in Joe's mouth in front of him and said, "Boss, can you tell me what the terrifying thing the leader in front is talking about?" ”
"The 400mm beam cannon is the beam cannon used by the two giant turrets in the bow of the Galileo-class ship, and it is suspected that the mecha is used as an artillery platform." Garth explained simply.
"What? O my God. Mechs as artillery platforms, is the empire crazy? If it's true. We're going to let those beam cannons attack from behind. The Squadron Leader shouted, if they attacked from behind, the Imperial Beam Cannon with the ability to move would still be able to attack them, and at that time, they would also be attacked by the turrets and mechs in the base.
"So night. The Huaxia Special Major remained at the front of the Imperial base, and he was responsible for containing the Empire's heavy firepower. The Imperial beam cannon can't be very mobile, we can completely avoid their attack angles, and besides, the Night Major is ready to take advantage of these guys to turn around and send them some blasting shells from behind, haha, see how the Imperial commander can deal with our front and rear flanking attacks. Originally, I felt a little uncertain about the assault on the imperial base from the rear, after all, we have too few mechas, and it may be a little difficult to face twelve mechs at the same time, but I didn't expect you to come, hehe, there is no problem now. Garth laughed.
The squadron leader scratched his head and said, "We actually came here after receiving a call from Major Night, hehe." Originally, we were going to rest at the 604 transit base. ”
"I see." It dawned on Garth that the night before, despite their objections, insisted on asking them to attack the Imperial forces from the rear, and it turned out that the night had borrowed enough troops for them, and the time was just right.
Just when Garth fully understood what the night was doing, the commander of the Imperial 609 transit base was restless at the moment, the reason why he had received the news that the Empire's first outpost defense line against the Federation in the Terard Desert had been conquered by the Federation army around noon. And as a transit base for the second line of defense, more than half of it has fallen into the hands of the Federation. The Imperial Front lost nearly forty mechs in just one morning, and it can be said that the Federation's tactics of using the morning sunlight to interfere with the vision of the Imperial Sentinels were very successful, and most of the Imperial bases caught the Federal troops off guard, after all, it is impossible for the Imperial bases to be on first-level alert at all times, and those patrols with only jeeps cannot fully take care of every inch of the Imperial defense line.
"Damn, in that case, we'll leave the siege isolated, damn it." The colonel analyzed the overall situation as quickly as possible, and found that his situation was quite bad, he already had plans to retreat, but he couldn't let go of the two heavy tanks, which he gathered the resources of the entire base to create independently.
The 177th Assault Force did not give the commander of the 609 transit base enough time to consider whether to fight or withdraw, and Pru, who was above the base, spotted the Blood Prison Commando and the Fox Squadron outflanked from the rear and issued a warning to the colonel.
"Punching back and forth? Do you think this will be able to avoid the attack of our porcupine? The corners of the Colonel's disdainful mouth hooked slightly, and then he ordered, "Let them drive the porcupines out of the hangar and teach the Federalists a lesson to those who are a little clever." "The porcupine chariot is the kind of vehicle that Sniper Night has a ship-grade beam cannon. These vehicles capable of moving make it possible for the Imperial base to be attacked from range by them in all directions. However, the Imperial Commander forgot to ask the pilots if there were any Night Kings of the Land among the outflanked mechs, and he only thought that the Federation forces were cutting off their own retreat.
A sortie siren sounded in the giant hangar at the front of the Imperial base, and a flash of red lit up the entire hangar. A massive chariot lit up its own bright red one-eyed monitor. With the spread of a shock wave. The air cushion that enveloped the entire bottom of the chariot swelled. With the chariot lifted off the ground, the porcupine chariot moved in a way that was roughly equivalent to that of a hovercraft, which made Night and Garth's original estimate of the poor maneuverability of the chariot completely wrong. The heavy hangar door slowly opened, and the giant chariot finally appeared in the desert sun, in the view of the Federation fighters.
The image of the porcupine chariot teleported the Hellfire hovering in the air to Night and Garth for the first time, and gave the two aces a big breath. This giant chariot looks like a giant cuboid, about the same length and width as the king of land. The height is about the same as the upper mecha of the Land King, but the appearance is much worse than that of the night chariot. There is a sloping slope in front of the boxy chariot, where the mech's protruding head monitor sticks out, and there are no arms in the picture, probably like the king of the land is roughly hidden in the massive body behind it. A thick beam cannon barrel stretches from the rear of the vehicle to the front of the vehicle for five meters, and the rear of the gun hull is protected by a large amount of armor, and these armors are designed in the form of heat sinks, which seems to be a weapon that can generate a huge amount of heat energy when firing. This heat is not caused by the beam cannon itself, but by the large transformers used to supply the voltage needed to generate the magnetic field. Battleships are able to convert this thermal energy into electricity through special liquid cooling equipment. But it was clear that it was impossible for the porcupine to mount such a large liquid-cooled device on the body of the chariot. As for why the Cannon soldiers didn't need a transformer to pressurize the magnetic field generator, it was because the battery output voltage used by the soldiers was just enough to meet the 680mm beam cannon. The power output of a battleship is usually 500mm of naval guns.
"Damn, it's got a lot of ugly boxes." The first sentence that popped out of Night's mouth after seeing the image of the porcupine was actually this kind of comment appearance, which made Gals, who had already contacted Night, want to hear Night's opinion on the next action, almost slipped from the seat of the mecha, but fortunately, Night's next sentence was more serious, and said: "I didn't expect it to be an air cushion, Gals, you have to be careful, these boxes are much more flexible than expected." Use smoke grenades if necessary, this method of masking ranged attacks is more earthy, but it is still very effective. ”
"Understood, Boss, we'll keep attacking." Garth understood that Night's meaning was to keep them attacking as planned, and began to explain to his teammates and the Shuffleboard what might happen next.
The silver chariots were also activated, and the reason why according to the latest situation from the hellfire, the two chariots of the empire had already turned around the hangar and began to move towards the interior of the base, and they were almost ready to attack.
The dust kicked up by the tracks of the silver chariot easily made the Imperial pilots notice the vision ahead of the base, and they told the colonel who was waiting for the Bloodhell Commando to come within range of the porcupines at the first time.
"The Grim Reaper's murmur on the front of my base? Hmph, let Porcupine Two turn around against the Federation's first ace, and Porcupine One continues to move behind the base for a wider shooting angle. The Colonel, as expected, wanted to spread out the two chariots. The troops outflanked in the rear could not be left alone, or they would be able to force the rear defense lines of the Empire, and the fixed defensive turrets had limited firing angles, and a mech colonel with a single squadron was not confident that they would be able to stop the Bloody Prison Commando with half a squadron of reinforcements. And the Colonel of the Grim Reaper in front of him can't ignore it, and he is also ready to use the glory of killing the night to push himself to the rank of major general, and the king of the land of the night is equipped with a 480mm cannon with a strong ability to demolish buildings. Since the rear of the base is the main attack direction of the Federation and needs support, and the front is the person that the colonel wants to kill the most, the colonel naturally chose to separate the two tanks, the reason why he is very confident in the long-range sniping ability of the two tank pilots, after all, these two people are the best sniper guys in the military academy who were personally dug by the colonel from the military academy, and should be able to hit the king of land with poor lateral movement ability, and can also kill those ordinary federal pilots.
Even though the porcupine's maneuverability greatly exceeded Night and Garth's expectations, the vehicle's ability to turn was still very slow, and it was only after Night was already in range that the second machine completed the turn, aiming its gun in the direction of the dust drifting, which was the approximate direction of the position of the king of land. Although there are still a few sand dunes between the two vehicles, the powerful guns of both sides already have the ability to hit the opponent.
At this time, the excellent quality of the Federation pilots was reflected, and they carried out a wave of suppression of the Imperial Pru fighters without any care, successfully causing the Imperial fighters to panic, and then evacuated the Imperial air defense circle when the Imperial anti-aircraft fire was about to severely damage them. At the cost of three warplanes, these valiant pilots managed to disrupt the actions of the Imperial planes, leaving the rookies to focus on avoiding the bullets from above and ignoring the location of the king of land.
A short disturbance on the battlefield is the key to victory or defeat, and the night who was the first to get the opponent's exact position opened fire directly on the move, and the 480mm grenade flew towards the porcupine with a piercing scream. The pilots of the porcupine could only dodge helplessly, and at the same time kept urging the fighters above to transmit the coordinates.
"Bastard, I let you escape before, and this time it definitely won't." It turned out that the guy who accidentally injured Joe in the sniper night in front was the pilot of the second plane. However, this rookie, who had just graduated from the military academy, had accurately aimed at the coordinates provided by the fighter through the gap between the two buildings in front of him, but he did not realize that he had made a mistake, that is, he did not understand the power of the enemy's giant cannon and the characteristics of the vehicle he was driving.
At the moment when the rookie pulled the trigger, the 480mm cloud-explosion-bomb exploded a hundred meters behind his battle vehicle. The powerful shockwave successfully demolished the buildings on both sides of the road, and thrust the air-cushioned porcupine forward. This deflected the rookie's shot, and the huge beam shifted directly to the right, cutting off half of the building on the right side of the original trajectory. The pitiful building was baptized by the remnants of the cloudburst blast blast after being attacked by the beam, and in a cloud of dust, it was reduced to a pile of ruins made of reinforced concrete.
"God, how can this be." The rookie slammed the control panel in front of him, but didn't realize his mistake at all. The self-weight of the porcupine is indeed very heavy, so in order to solve the problem of poor maneuverability, it chose to rely on the air cushion drift, but this way solves the original problem and brings a new problem, that is, the ability to carry recoil is greatly reduced, more precisely, the resistance ability becomes worse. Of course, the Reich's engineers chose the recoilless beam cannon as the main weapon of the vehicle. But the problem of resistance did not let these engineers find out, after all, who would have nothing to do with throwing a bombshell next to the new equipment to play, and there are only two porcupines, which are roughly equivalent to the king of the land, which is out of print.
The grenade of the night unceremoniously exploded around the porcupine, and it seems that the god of luck is still standing next to the night who uses the hanging attack, otherwise the landing point of the cannonball will be so close to the porcupine.
The continuous bombardment of the cloudburst bomb of the porcupine can't help but be a little flustered, although the cloudburst bomb can hardly seriously damage the armor of this porcupine if it is not a direct hit, but the scene of the surrounding buildings turning into ruins and the sound of building debris hitting the armor on the fuselage at all times makes the pilots who have not really experienced the war in the porcupines begin to fear and begin to make mistakes. He didn't care about avoiding it, and he didn't have the ability to carefully aim according to the coordinates provided by the fighter, and the air waves generated by the continuous explosion made the balance of the porcupine extremely poor, so that this high-achieving student, who was originally the second in the sniper ranking in the military academy, had no way to stabilize his aiming circle, let alone attack night.
