Chapter 42: The Scales of Victory Are Tilting
It was at this point that several large crabs landed on deck, their size was quite large, like a small truck, and the exoskeleton hardened by the Void energy could withstand the frontal attack of the anti-aircraft guns, preventing the Void creatures that followed them from strafing.
This tactic is very similar to the infantry and tan coordination tactics, which is to let a large number of lightly armored units follow behind a small number of heavy armored units, relying on the latter as the spearhead of the attack to fight, and gradually advance to destroy fixed fire points.
It's a pity that the Void encountered it.
Blue Feather has tried a new ability, a new way to exploit vulnerability. He concentrated the fragility of the Void creatures in a smaller area, greatly weakening the monster's defenses in the front. Immediately after receiving the order, the Gaoping dual-purpose cannon opened ferocious fire on the big crabs.
Such a big target, not flying at a high altitude, and the distance is so close. The possibility of a short shot is almost non-existent. In just an instant, five anti-aircraft guns locked on the big crab and focused the fire.
The first crab was killed the moment it was set on fire, and its sturdy carapace could no longer protect it after it was weakened, and the explosion tore it apart and fell into the sea like a lump of rotten meat.
Without saying a word, Blue Feather stared at the anti-aircraft guns frantically slaughtering the Void creatures on deck, Void Fish and Crabs mixed, occasionally with sea snakes wriggling in their midst, as well as some rays and worm monsters from the deep sea.
They were bleeding on the deck, but they didn't know what fear was, and they had only one target—him and Blue Ice.
Lan Yu sneered, and it happened that the anti-gravity field was played by him with a new trick. He no longer increases or weakens gravity, but chooses to change the direction of gravity. The void creatures immediately sensed that something was wrong, and gravity formed an angle to the ground, just in time to pull them off the deck.
The Void Swarm, which had been steadily advancing, was about to destroy the first point of fire that suppressed them, but now they could only secrete slime and stick themselves to the deck to prevent themselves from falling back into the sea.
Blue Feather had already consumed too much power in battle, and the energy that the entropy ability could draw from the void creatures was limited, not enough to make up for his consumption. And he didn't worry about the Dark Star Scythe to draw energy. That's why the gravitational field lasted only a few minutes.
After the deflected gravity direction returned to normal, the void creatures in the sea had already landed on deck. Squeeze into a corner like a sardine can to fend off the shots. The corpses of their companions became the best cover, and the cannonballs were much less lethal after penetrating the corpses, making it difficult to penetrate many Void creatures in one go.
The triple anti-aircraft guns on the aft deck of the Dark Star did not stop for a moment.
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound of shell explosions is endless, and a void creature is killed, they may not be hit in the heart, but the 25mm shell is no better than the rifle bullet, the charge is dozens of times, as long as it is hit, the fuse will detonate the warhead, and the explosion will be destroyed along with the heart.
The Void creatures were like a low purple wall, approaching steadily but slowly, with "bricks" constantly peeling off from the walls, all of which were slain void creatures. Streams of purple blood flowed across the deck and poured into the sea, almost turning the Dark Star into a whaling ship.
Most of the small-caliber shells hit their abdomen and carapace, and each hit was a wound tens of centimeters in size, tearing the bones and killing them head-on.
The Void creatures straddled the mountain of corpses and blood, ignoring their fallen companions, even though some of them had only broken legs, and there was hope of rescue.
The Type 96 25mm triple anti-aircraft gun has the following data, its reload: 15 rounds / magazine. The theoretical rate of fire is 220 rounds / min. However, due to the lack of a corresponding mechanical ammunition feeding device, the theoretical maximum rate of fire could not be reached. This is also one of the important reasons why the Yamato was sunk in history. But the Dark Star has adopted a mechanical bullet lifter, which completely makes up for the shortcomings of history.
Many of the anti-aircraft guns ran out of ammunition, but after a second they again swallowed the tongues of fire, and the bullets shot out as if they didn't need money, forming a metal storm. Come to think of it, an average of four shells per second, and 220 rounds of ammunition in just one minute, although not as fast as a professional Erlikon anti-aircraft gun, the rate of fire when strafing Void creatures is also terrifying.
The concentrated fire of all the anti-aircraft guns in the later overtime brought more terrifying effects than the Vulcan cannons.
A medium-sized octopus collapses in front of it, leaving it exposed to a rain of bullets, the consequence of the metal storm is that it starts in the head and is smashed by bullets until it forms a mass of minced flesh that is still twitching. There are also a few tentacles that are unwilling to admit the death of the body,
From a distance, it's more like it's melting and disappearing in the middle of breathing.
After killing this medium-sized octopus, the anti-aircraft gun adjusted its angle and slurred the tongue of fire again, tearing the second void octopus apart. There is no need to hit their heads, this kind of firepower can completely allow them to dissipate under the heat energy like ice cream, and finally dismember.
A void octopus finally found a gap in firepower, and in the middle of the run, it attacked the anti-aircraft gun position, but was cut in two by the Dark Star Scythe.
"Innocent!"
There were more than a dozen void creatures following the octopus to break through.
Without the slightest hesitation, an anti-aircraft gun turned its head and strafed with a barrage of bullets, chasing the remaining fish that slipped through the net. Bullets wreaked havoc on this group of void creatures, instantly spurring them to the ground with blood.
The fire of the anti-aircraft guns has been fully fired, and the number of bullets is drastically decreasing. Like a devouring, the Metal Storm brings with it the Void biota that begins to dissolve from the tail and ends in the middle.
"Click!"
In the next second, Lan Yu became alert, and the sound came from the anti-aircraft gun, which meant that the anti-aircraft gun had missed the bullet.
"Click!"
"Click!"
The sound came from a few more anti-aircraft guns, and the fierce fighting left not a single round of ammunition in reserve. Now if you want to get them back to firing, you have to carry ammunition from the ammunition depot below deck, and it's too late.
And the void creatures in front of him are not one in ten, but they are still pressing forward step by step.
Now it's time for Blue Feather to come into play, as long as you are careful, it will be no problem to deal with the remaining void creatures, at most you will be a little injured. 、
The scales of victory have tipped in favor of the human side, the air force of the Void has been depleted of casualties, and there is not one in ten troops on deck, except for a sea monster, which is being suppressed to the death.
