The screeching of shells was constantly heard in the distance, and more than a hundred poison-tailed scorpion self-propelled howitzers had all been concentrated in the direction of the city, constantly attacking the storm pillar with guided shells, and they couldn't let the storm pillar run!

However, after the cannon pack had destroyed two of the Storm Pillars, it was no longer able to destroy the third. Because the hemispherical protective force field enveloped those storm pillars, the flying cannonballs exploded in advance when they hit the force field, and they could not damage the storm pillars protected by the force field!

The dense artillery shells could not directly penetrate the defensive force field provided by these ground facilities, and could only slowly weaken it, indicating that the resistance of that defensive force field was close to that of the destroyed Destroyer battleship before.

"This won't work!" Seeing that the cannonballs continued to explode in the air, blasting the originally transparent and invisible defensive force field out of its original form, Yu Qian's expression was not good-looking, he knew very well that with the current bombardment speed, it was impossible to break through the force field before the storm pillar was running, not to mention that there were four more storm pillars, and they needed more powerful weapons!

"Can we ask the base to launch another super-high-speed cruise missile support, and kill them directly with the missile?" Vincent proposed, "Only a cruise missile with a charge of nearly a ton can break through this defensive force field in a short time." ”

"That's all it can be." Yu Qian sighed, "Although the base's hypervelocity cruise missiles are reserved for that planetary assault carrier, once that planetary assault carrier shuts down the plasma storm generator to move, those missiles will destroy it before it restarts. But now, we can't wait for that time. Contact the base, and in addition, let the base send all the Auger attack planes, we need more than half a firepower. ”

"Understood, I'll contact you right away."

didn't let them wait too long, Zhou Yi also knew how dangerous the current situation was, so not only did he launch all the ultra-high-speed cruise missiles in the launch module, but he even ordered the Colossus to shoot at the mecha as well! Dozens of high-powered missiles. With the addition of 60 rounds of 380-mm high-explosive armor-piercing shells, after calculating the flight speed and time of the shells and missiles, these striking forces will hit that force field at the same time, and the error will not exceed two seconds!

Thereupon. A huge explosion that had never been seen before rose in the defense field, and a huge fireball rose up like a mushroom cloud, and the dazzling light was extremely conspicuous in the night sky, even making Yu Qian and the others who were watching from a distance have to either close their eyes or close their masks. No one could stand the huge fireball!

In just an instant, the huge defensive force field that had been hit by hundreds of cannons before had disappeared, and along with the storm pillar protected by the force field, as well as the large number of Sijing troops around, all turned into ashes in this dense explosion!

"Good fellows! That's a lot of power! Ensign Vincent said excitedly, "The problem is solved at once!" ”

"But it's not a small cost." Yu Qian said, "Those ultra-high-speed cruise missiles are not cheap, and the 380-mm high-explosive armor-piercing shell is not the price of cabbage." If it's used to attack big guys like the Destroyer or the Planetary Assault Mothership, that's nothing. But it's not cost-effective to just bombard a tower, or a tower that can be easily mass-produced. If there are a few more storm pillars, Zhou Yi will definitely be reluctant to use missiles to blow them up again, at most use the shelling of the Colossus. ”

As if he hadn't heard Yu Qian's words, Vincent continued: "When will the next wave arrive?" There are three more Storm Pillars, and even one of them will cost us more to reclaim the city! ”

"Wait." Yu Qian glanced at him, "The Colossus is okay, it has an auto-reloading system, and it will soon be able to carry out a second round of attacks." But for ultra-high-speed cruise missiles, then wait slowly, those missiles are bulky, and each one takes about ten minutes to load. I thought of achieving the effect I have now. It is necessary to use a saturation attack, which means that at least 20 missiles must be loaded, and the missile launch system can only be loaded one by one for safety, instead of all launch positions at the same time. That is, to see missile launches again. That's more than an hour's wait. But we don't have that time. ”

"Didn't we call in air support too?" Vincent looked back at the sky, but didn't see any flying machines with flashing red and green navigation lights, "Why haven't they arrived yet?" ”

"Even if they come, it's better than nothing, the firepower of the Auger attack aircraft is not enough to blow up those protective force fields, and calling them here before is just doing their best." Yu Qian glanced at another storm pillar in the distance, it was the fourth, five meters away from its periphery, there was a continuous flash of fire, it was the poison-tailed scorpion self-propelled artillery that was perseveringly bombarding, trying to weaken a little force field energy for the next Colossus bombardment, "Now it seems that we still expect a little more Colossus firepower, when attacking alone, can it meet our needs." ”

As he spoke, a fireball larger than the fireball produced by the 150-mm shell of the Poisontail Scorpion Cannon suddenly appeared on the surface of the defensive force field protecting the fourth storm pillar! That's the result of another hit from the Colossus's 380-mm naval guns! The night sky is once again illuminated by a huge fire!

It's just that the power of the Colossus's large-caliber naval artillery shells is obviously not as powerful as the super-high-speed cruise missile, which has a charge of nearly one ton, and the vast majority of the 60 shells hit the protective force field, but they failed to break through it with one blow, but it only made the protective force field visible by the shelling much darker, proving that its shelling still had an effect. A salvo can't destroy these protective force fields, so a few more shots, anyway, the Colossus's shelling speed is not much slower than that of the poison-tailed scorpion, and with an automatic reloading system, the 380mm cannon can also fire 5 rounds a minute.

This round failed to solve the problem, and the next round may not be solved, after all, that layer of protective force field is extremely dim with the naked eye, and it doesn't look like it can last another round at all.

"Inform the base that there is no need to launch any more missile support, twenty colossi alone will be enough to take out those storm pillars." Seeing this, Yu Qian nodded and said to Ensign Vincent, "Let the base keep the missiles for the assault carrier, you don't have to spend it here anymore, anyway, the cruise missiles won't be launched at this time." ”

"But we don't know how long it will take for those storm pillars to be operational." Ensign Vincent reminded, "The captives don't speak very clearly, just that they could start running at any moment!" I think that no matter how many missiles are loaded, if there is one, it is better to launch it when it is loaded. After all, the power of a cruise missile is also more powerful than the salvo of several Colossus main guns, and it can also speed up the destruction of the storm pillar. ”

"That being said, we're also going to guard against that planetary assault mothership." Yu Qianyao pointed into the distance, "That battleship still carries hundreds of combat aircraft, and even its own firepower is not weak, if it flies over the base or the city, and then starts the plasma storm, then we don't have to fight, just surrender." ”

"But the Colossus's firepower is still somewhat insufficient......" Ensign Vincent shook his head, he still knew that the threat of the planetary assault mothership was great, "If only we had prepared more Colossus mechs this time." ”

"We underestimate our opponents and we overestimate ourselves." Yu Qian said calmly, "Our battles were too smooth before, so we despised the force of this era. The Sijing people are different enemies, even different from any enemy we have encountered before, their way of thinking, combat habits, weapon performance, we know nothing, just rely on the data collected during several conflicts, isn't it very arrogant? ”

The second round of shelling of the Colossus Artillery Support Mecha arrived, and after the protective force field was hard topped with half of the shells, it finally couldn't hold on and disappeared into thin air, and the rest of the 380mm shells all hit the fragile storm pillar, instantly blasting it into flying fragments!

But at this time, Yu Qian and Vincent were already full of shock, because above the last two storm pillars, dark clouds began to gather, and a storm vortex eye was slowly emerging! After seeing the Planetary Assault Mothership activate the plasma storm, they knew it was too late! (To be continued.) )
