Chapter 104: Cougar
On the "Independence" aircraft carrier, the large screen in the command center projected the situation in the combat area, the PPDC, the air support unit in the center of the battlefield, and the Skua mecha located under the sea, that is, the front line of the battle, the intelligence resources of the three parties were shared at the same time, and they tried to communicate with each other.
"Is the chrysanthemum beast called the "Great Turtle" confined? ”
Admiral Ferrand, who was in charge of the command on the aircraft carrier, raised his own questions.
"Sir, according to the footage transmitted by the mecha, the bomb exploded right above the "Great Turtle", and the first wave of electromagnetic pulse was interrupted before it could be emitted. ”
The busy technicians quickly cut to the picture from the mecha, and through the dark seawater, they could see the "big sea turtle" in the distance, and the blue electric light condensed on their backs had been completely dispersed.
"Well done!"
Admiral Ferrand was obviously very satisfied with his pilots, and the two F-18 Hornets naturally took off from the "Independence," but they were placed under the command of Colonel Jones, and the PPDC base was mainly composed of helicopters and transport planes, and considering the problems of fuel consumption and distance, only two F35Bs were dispatched, which were able to carry out vertical take-off and landing on the "Independence" to replenish ammunition and fuel.
Fuel can be refueled in the air, but the replenishment of ammunition is a problem, and it is impossible to fly back to Hong Kong for replenishment, so the aircraft carrier fleet of the USS Independence in the Pacific Ocean has become a ammunition supply point and the main attacking force.
Before the notch, the cockpit was made of a special material. Four flames flickered on the other side of the gap, and the fatal blow of the giant turtle was interrupted, and not only that. This round of attacks directly caused the formation of the Kaiju beast on the opposite side to be chaotic.
"Mecha formation, attack on the left and right, in groups of two, give priority to killing the "big turtle", even if you can't kill that guy, you can't let it release the electromagnetic pulse! ”
The cockpit sounded with Pantcoster's voice, and everyone was in good spirits. The attack order begins!
Partnering with Zhang Yang was the Dangerous Wanderer, with two mechas, Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, following behind him, and the four mechs quickly approached from the left side. Eureka Raider and Puma, Alpha and Storm Crimson are on the right flank.
The speed of the six mechs under the sea was a little slow, but above them, the support of the air force bought them precious time. It only takes about 30 seconds. The mech will be able to reach the other side.
"Hurry up and don't let them fall apart!"
Among the eight mechs, the fastest moving is undoubtedly the Eureka Raider, and the second fastest is not the storm, but the new cougar.
In terms of size and model design, Eureka Raider and Cougar are both fast-moving models, while Storm Crimson is only more agile and not actually that fast. The rest of the mechs are more focused on hand-to-hand combat and defense, and their speed is slower. However, the attack power is greatly increased.
Walking in the sea is not an easy task, even if the mecha relies on nuclear power to drive, but it is still affected, Zhang Yang every time he lifts his feet and steps, he obviously perceives that it is more laborious than on land, especially the need to rush to the opposite shore as fast as possible, which accelerates the consumption of the body.
To put it bluntly, the strength consumed to fight a battle with a mecha and come back is definitely not much easier than running 10,000 meters in one go.
In the middle of the move, the Eureka Raider and the Cougar were already in front, while Colonel Jones, who was above the sea, seized the opportunity to launch a second round of attacks.
Because of the confrontation between the two sides of the Kaiju Beast and the mecha, they were directly isolated from the battlefield, and they only needed to bombard the location of the Kaiju Beast indiscriminately, and they didn't need to consider the problems that would affect the mecha for the time being.
Depth charges, anti-submarine bombs, anti-submarine missiles, anti-submarine torpedoes, anti-submarine aircraft and fighters over the sea water, directly regarded the Kaiju beasts as imaginary nuclear submarines, and all kinds of anti-submarine means were used, except for the deep water nuclear bombs, which were too powerful and not considered, the rest of the conventional weapons were used one after another.
Although it is a conventional weapon, but after increasing the yield, the effect is not bad at all with other weapons, the power of the explosion under the sea water is far different from the power of the explosion on land, the air itself can be compressed, and the explosion will have a buffering effect, and compared to the air, the weight of the water is 1000 times that of the air, almost incompressible, and the power of the explosion can almost be transmitted to the target completely, and the power is amazing.
If the nuclear submarine was here, it would have been blown to pieces, a 500-kilogram depth charge would be enough to destroy the outer defense of the submarine, and once the submarine was deformed and sunk, the entire submarine would become a huge iron coffin, and the people inside would not even have a chance to escape.
And the Kaiju Beast is not a submarine, but the damage it suffers is also very painful, and a terrible roar sounded from time to time.
Five nautical miles away, two "Washington-class" nuclear submarines hid in a deep trench in fear, and couldn't help but shudder when they heard the sound of explosions coming back from sonar.
"These big guys are not ordinary skins, and they are still unscathed after so many bombs."
The sound of the explosion is transmitted very quickly in the seawater, and even if you hide 5 nautical miles away, you can still clearly capture the vibration caused by the explosion.
"Needless to say, not to mention that there are two fifth-level chrysanthemum beasts this time, and the pressure is very high."
Captain McAvoy listened to the movement outside and chatted with his first mate, and in the encrypted channel next to him, the voice of Evans, the captain of another nuclear submarine, came from the voice of Evans, two nuclear submarines hiding in the trench, obviously a little bored.
As nuclear submarines that spend their days under the sea water, anti-submarine aircraft and all kinds of anti-submarine weapons are completely their natural enemies, so as soon as they heard that the air forces were starting to attack, these two nuclear submarines immediately spread their steps, and ran as far as they could. Finally, taking into account the combat radius, this was hid in a deep trench.
Long before this, these two nuclear submarines belonging to the "Independence" aircraft carrier group received orders from the aircraft carriers, and the two nuclear submarines sneakily climbed out of the trench and fired four MK48 torpedoes silently, and the target was naturally the Kaiju beast in the distance.
The speed of the MK48 torpedo is 55 knots (1 knot = 1 knot, 1 nautical mile = 1.852 km / h), the maximum range is 46,000 meters, and the maximum depth is 1,200 meters.
The four-nautical-mile journey takes only two minutes for the torpedoes, and long before the air force drops the depth charges, these four torpedoes have already been fired, and they are passing through the dark waters, and they are soon close to the back of the Kaiju Beast.
When the torpedo arrived, the five Kaiju beasts were struggling to cope with the various bombs dropped on their heads, and the fireballs rang out one after another, one of the torpedoes was accidentally detonated by a deflected bomb in the approaching distance, and the remaining three were directly drilled into the interior of the Kaiju beast's formation, and then exploded.
Boom Boom!
All kinds of high-power bombs continue to explode under the sea, and the Kaiju beasts located at the explosion point are naturally exhausted, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the fastest eureka raiders and cougars have approached the rear of the Kaiju beasts, and the "big sea turtles" with round bodies are holding their heads to find a cover to dodge, but unfortunately the size is too large, no matter how it hides, it can't avoid the bomb attack.
Because it is in the water, the thermal weapons carried by the mecha itself cannot come in handy, such as the electromagnetic cannon and the anti-aircraft missiles carried by the Eureka Raider, which are prone to problems, and the entire battlefield combat is limited to the range of cold weapons and hand-to-hand combat.
"Air support, please note, I'm a cougar mech, I've arrived at Kaijumon's side, please stop dropping bombs for the time being."
The purple and red decorative stripes of the cougar converge into a beautiful cougar, and the mecha itself is also full of streamlining, although it is a third-generation mecha, but the movement speed is enough to rival that of the fifth-generation Eureka raider.
At the part of the mecha's fist, five metal tips similar to claws extended from the fingers, which were also made of hard special alloy materials, which looked like the sharp claws of a cougar, rushed in front of Eureka and pounced on the "big sea turtle" who had not yet reacted!
The cougar pilots are the Anderson brothers from the United States, the two are cousins, have a very good synaesthesia, and have served in the U.S. Army for a period of time, and then transferred to PPDC as a driver.
The fighting style of the two people is used together with the mecha, just like the three Liu brothers control the storm red, and they are better at flexible operation, while the Anderson brothers, just like the name of the mecha, are like a vigorous cougar, sharp and fast attacks, good at preemptive strikes, which is the natural advantage of speed-type mechas.
"Destroy the launcher first!"
This is the order given by Pantcoster, and the two brothers also knew very well what their goal was, so they suddenly took a step forward, stirring up a piece of dirt, and at the same time, the cougar's right fist hit the head of the "big turtle", directly hitting the big guy tilted his head, and the claws also turned into claws, and they lifted the hard bone plate on the opponent's head, and grabbed the green tissue inside!
Whew!
A fluorescent-blue liquid spread out in the seawater, and anyone who was familiar with the Chrysanthemum Beast standing here could recognize it on the spot, it was the unique acidic blood of the Chrysanthemum Beast.
In the cougar's right paw, it is "bloody" holding a ball of soft tissue glowing with fluorescent green, and the surface is still twitching slightly. (To be continued......)
