Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Battle Begins
At this time, Lao Liu in the kitchen had already run out of smoke for a long time!
It's definitely not good for this kitchen Lao Liu to go to the battlefield to fight, and the dishes he usually cooks don't taste very good to be honest, but now this guy's kung fu of manipulating the skeleton mecha to run away is compared to the fat Tom, which is not far behind!
Behind him, the three men in black were also cramping their claws, desperately manipulating the mecha to run fast! These three are worthy of graduating from the mecha major of the Federal Military Academy, and the professional counterpart is really not covered!
The four suspicious skeleton mecha in front of them ran wildly all the way, and the Imperial Army mecha team that received the order to pursue them in the back chased them desperately for a long time, but they were not able to catch up with the four skeleton mecha that had fled in the desert.
Seeing that the dozen or so skeleton mecha chasing and fleeing in the distance in front of him were about to run out of the range of the naked eye, Colonel Iizuka in the poisonous scorpion command mecha couldn't help frowning, and asked the adjutant to give an order with some dissatisfaction, asking the brigade to speed up the march a little more.
Colonel Iizuka had already led his team on many search and sweep missions in the savannah, and he was not afraid of any surprise attacks or ambushes here. Because the main ground forces of the Saitan Federation have long been defeated by the Imperial Army, the remaining scumbags and some occasional guerrilla rags are not worth mentioning at all in front of his more than 100 skeleton mecha of the latest standard of the Vilia Empire!
I thought that today would be another boring wandering search, but I didn't expect to encounter those four strange skeleton mechas, and they can all run away as fast as they can! So Colonel Iizuka, who was a little curious, ordered his subordinates to continue to speed up, hoping to catch up with the mecha team that was chasing in front as soon as possible.
In this era of cosmic colonization, the distance of five kilometers on the battlefield, under the full running of military mechs with a speed of more than two hundred kilometers per hour, is just over a minute!
So when Colonel Iizuka's mech team rushed into Tom and Sophia's ambush circle like a raging wind, Tom didn't have a chance to greet Sophia at all.
And Tom is not only unable to obtain communication with Sophia, in fact, the most important thing is that the one-eyed lady on the other side is now the guerrilla branch leader of Basel, and it is absolutely impossible for her to obey the command of the fat man, an ordinary guerrilla mecha. Now there is no way to coordinate between Tom's motley squad and Sophia's guerrilla armored battalion!
So when the mecha cluster of the Iizuka Brigade just rushed into the flank ambush circle, the guerrilla armored battalion on the opposite side took the lead under the command of Sophia, and suddenly fired more than 30 airborne missiles at the more than 100 skeleton mechs of the Imperial Army!
At this time, the miscellaneous mechs on Tom's side didn't have time to make a move, so they could only watch as those missiles dragged a long tail of smoke and rushed towards the skeleton mecha cluster of the Iizuka Brigade like wasps!
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble...... "In the sound of huge explosions that sounded one after another, more than a dozen skeleton mechs of the Iizuka Brigade were instantly hit by the swarming missile swarm, turning into more than a dozen large fireballs that were still running at full strength!
"Charge the whole army!" Sophia jumped out of the grass with the Glory II light individual mech!
As the camouflaged weeds covered in the fuselage fell, the one-eyed woman controlled the 20mm energy cannon on the mechanical arm while spewing out cannon fire frantically, while driving the Glory Mecha to take the lead, fearlessly rushing towards the Imperial Army's mecha cluster!
Behind her, except for the three Echo electronic mechs that were still in place, the remaining twenty-nine Glory mechs and three Tiger Ben III heavy four-person mechs also jumped out of the ambush at the same time, and rushed towards the Imperial Army's mecha brigade with Sophia!
In an instant, a torrent of steel slammed into the right flank of the Iizuka Mecha Brigade!
In the next second, Colonel Iizuka's mecha brigade was knocked out by Sophia's armored battalion! Thirty Glory Mecha fiercely rushed into the Iizuka Brigade's marching formation, wielding an alloy ion light knife and slashing viciously at the top of the skeleton mechs!
And the three Huben heavy mechs next to them, completely without the cover of light mechs and infantry, were next to the queue of the Iizuka brigade, desperately pouring fierce artillery fire with 47mm energy cannons!
Ten seconds before the start of the battle, Colonel Kazuo Iizuka of the 3rd Mecha Brigade of the 2nd Wing of the 1st Armored Division of the Blood Wolf Regiment of the Vilia Imperial Army was indeed caught off guard by Sophia and suffered heavy losses!
But the Iizuka brigade is not vegetarian either! Colonel Kazuo Iizuka is the number one mecha commander in the Blood Wolf Legion, and he did not panic when he found that the right flank of his mecha brigade was suddenly attacked by an unknown mecha unit.
Colonel Iizuka immediately ordered the mecha team to quickly separate from the gap that had been knocked open, reorganize the formation according to the squad formation, and then besiege the dozens of sneaking mechs from the front and rear directions.
The Sophia armored battalion, which had gained a slight advantage on the battlefield at the beginning, was quickly surrounded by skeleton mechs that were attacking from front to back, as if they were caught in the middle by a huge iron tongs!
As the artillery fire of the Imperial Army became more and more intense, and there were occasional airborne missiles that continued to be fired, Sophia's armored battalion soon suffered casualties!
Under the concentrated fire of the skeletal mecha cluster of the Iizuka brigade's skeletal mecha and the concentrated fire of the head-sliding and face-slashing energy cannonballs and missiles, eight or nine glorious mecha were exploded on the spot in just an instant, turning into brilliant fireworks on the battlefield!
At this time, Sophia was slashing hard with the alloy ion light knife on the right arm of the machine, and at the same time controlling the energy cannon on the left arm of the machine to shoot at close range at the skeleton mecha that surrounded him!
The one-eyed mother-in-law was really not in vain, under her full charge, the skeleton mecha of the Iizuka brigade was quickly cut down by her and overturned four or five cars! The rest of the skeleton mechs saw that this glorious mecha was so brave, and they all flashed to the side from afar, not daring to approach it easily!
But the glorious mechs of the guerrilla armored battalion next to Sophia are not so good! Their mecha operation skills are not as skilled as Sophia's, and it is impossible to rush and kill like Sophia when fighting, and soon several more Glory mecha were destroyed on the spot under the frantic counterattack of the Iizuka Brigade's skeleton mecha cluster!
The three Tiger Heavy Mechas, which were suppressed by the pestle next to the queue but were not protected by light mechas, also became the focus of the Imperial Army at this time. The energy defense shields of the three Tiger Heavy Mechs have all been turned crimson by the dense artillery fire, and there is only one step left before the machine is destroyed and people die!
After the blind charge, the entire partisan armored battalion in Sophia is now in danger, and it is possible that it will be completely annihilated at any time under the front and rear attacks of the Imperial Army!
And Sophia, who is in the center of the battlefield, has now become the focus of the skeleton mecha cluster!
The skeleton mechs of the Iizuka Brigade found that they could no longer engage in hand-to-hand combat with this Glory Mecha like a tiger descending from the mountain, so they all ran to a distance of ten meters away from it and opened fire, and soon turned the energy defense shield of Sophia's Glory Mecha into crimson! If the fight continues like this, it won't be long before Sophia is likely to die at any time under the enemy's indiscriminate guns!
Looking at the whole situation, the ambush battle had just begun for less than a minute, and Sophia's armored battalion turned from an advantage to a disadvantage, from a brave assault to a heavy siege. The changes on the battlefield are often only in a moment!
At this time, Tom and Bai Jie, who were lying in ambush on the other side of the Iizuka Mecha Brigade, and all the men in black were still lying in the grass, and they had not had time to fire at the Imperial Army.
In the cockpit of a Glory mecha next to the test machine No. 2, Bai Jie looked at the guerrilla armored battalion that had fallen into a bitter battle in front of him, anxiously opened the communication channel, and asked Tom next to him: "Should we rush up now and help them?" ”
"Even if we rush forward now, we will die together! Don't move! With that, Tom started the engine of the mech of the test machine No. 2 and manipulated the mech to stand up.
Standing in a haystack about a hundred meters from the left flank of the Iizuka Brigade, Test Plane No. 2 lifted the ridiculously thick giant barrel.
"Boom!"
Tom's first shot caused a skeleton mech to catch fire and explode, instantly turning it into a pile of burning steel slag on the battlefield!
At this time, in front of Tom, there were skeleton mechs densely packed everywhere, and there was no need to aim at all, as long as the fat man didn't hit the armored battalion of the guerrillas.
"Boom!"
So Tom's second energy cannonball hit the second skeleton mech smoothly.
After the two shots were successful, Tom couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart!
Who said buddies aren't good at marksmanship?
At this time, the fat man, who was beaming with pride, found a scorpion type II two-human beast-shaped mecha located at the back of the Imperial Army's mecha cluster.
The front of the fuselage of that scorpion mecha is printed with the unique Ring of the Sun emblem of the Vilia Empire, and the wolf head emblem of the Blood Wolf Legion is also printed on the two sides, and the flag of the Vilia Empire is also inserted on the top cover.
After tasting the sweetness twice, the truth that the thief captures the king first begins to emerge from Tom's mind again. He knew that as long as he knocked out the opponent's command mecha, the Imperial Army's position would inevitably be in chaos immediately!
So Tom immediately turned the muzzle of the gun, aimed at the scorpion command mecha with the national flag and fired a shot!
"Boom!"
However, it is a pity that the location of the poisonous scorpion command mecha is now more than 500 meters away from the test machine No. 2, so with Tom's shooting level, it is impossible for this energy cannonball to hit the opponent.
