Suddenly, a beam of light penetrated a building on the side of the road, hit the turret of the first pursuer, and put a piece of high-temperature resistant ceramic armor in front of the beam, which lasted less than two seconds, and was melted through a hole, and the beam hit directly on the main armor of the tank!
This beam of light comes and disappears quickly! As soon as it hit the main armor of the Stalker's turret, it disappeared weakly, and the surface of the armor that was hit appeared to be almost melted!
To Lieutenant Younger's surprise, who had observed the status of all the vehicles through the data link, the cannon had been fired by a Devourer, and the high-energy rays had pierced not only the buildings that had been used as obstacles, but also the ceramic armor, and finally nearly melted the main armor of the Stalker, which was much more powerful than the data collected during the previous tests.
"Car No. 6 and car No. 9, armor-piercing shells, concentrated fire!" Younger was not in the habit of not fighting back after being beaten, he immediately calculated the position of the opponent with the beam, and sent the target coordinates to the two pursuers with the best shooting position.
"Boom! Rumble! "Directly input the coordinates given by Janger into the fire control system, the two pursuers opened fire at the same time, and the two armor-piercing shells flew back in the direction from which the beam came, and after making two large holes in the wall of that building, two flames exploded on the other side of it! The Devourer who opened fire was hit by counter-fire artillery!
But these two cannons didn't destroy the Devourer, they only weakened its force field and made two deep pits in its armor, but they couldn't penetrate it!
"Spread out, spread out!" Yanger yelled at the communicator, since he couldn't kill the enemy with one shot, he naturally had to be careful of the opponent's counterattack, just like they did before, after using the satellite to collect the enemy's location data again. As he fed the data to all the tanks, he ordered, "All of them cast e-smoke!" Again freely distribute concentrated fire attacks according to new coordinates! ”
Sure enough, before all the pursuers could disperse, several beams of light pierced through the nearby buildings and shot at them! Just due to the fact that all tanks are in motion. As a result, only one of these beams hit a Stalker, but as before, it didn't damage the tank, only a piece of external armor.
Subsequently, the Yanger tank company also launched a counterattack, and it was a counterfire with the enemy across a row of buildings! Thanks to the precise coordinate data provided by satellites, these pursuers in groups of three began to shell non-stop!
With such a dozen on both sides, the row of houses in the middle is miserable. Under the heavy artillery fire, they were reduced to piles of rubble, and the smoke and dust were even thicker than the smoke unleashed by the pursuers!
"Hell, there are too many opponents, let's step back!" Through the satellite system, Janger saw the results of the two sides before the smoke cleared, and he lost no of his own side, and one of the enemy devourers was reduced to burning metal garbage by concentrated artillery fire in the exchange of fire.
So many shells were fired, but only one Devourer was destroyed. This made Younger very dissatisfied, and it was clear that his side had an absolute advantage. Both in intelligence and quantity, he is stronger than the other party, but the results are hardly satisfactory, and he does not think that his tank is worse than the Devourer.
But what I didn't expect was that those devourers on the left flank actually stopped attacking after losing one. Instead, he began to reverse and retreat, which made Yanger completely confused, and just handed over the fire, there was a loss, could it be that Sijing people were afraid?
As an officer. Yanger is very aware that the vast majority of these Sijing people's combat weapons are just unmanned weapons, and there is no problem of personnel loss, as long as the production line is still there and the resources are sufficient, they will be manufactured endlessly.
And according to the battle situation observed before, the Sijing people actually don't care about the loss of these unmanned weapons, the previous few battles, which one did not destroy hundreds or thousands of unmanned weapons of the other party, but the next time, the Sijing people still lose so much and don't care, so unless the devourer is driven by the Sijing people themselves, it is impossible to make the Sijing people nervous with just one loss.
But judging from the previous observation and the subsequent firefight, even if it is a heavy weapon like the Devourer, it is also an unmanned weapon, and the number of combat weapons of the Sijing people is not small, at least the satellite has found nearly a hundred such weapons in Gorgon City, and the loss of one is not enough to make people feel anything.
"Major, did you see that?" I couldn't figure it out, Janger simply went to ask others, and he directly connected Yu Qian's communication, "It's just a preliminary exchange of fire, and they retreated, although it is not yet possible to judge whether they retreat or regroup their formation, but they gave up attacking us, which is true." ”
"I see that not only your left flank, but also the Devourers who attacked your right flank are retreating at the same time." Yu Qian spoke to Younger as he sent him the satellite image, "I don't think they're scared or something, it's probably just a ploy on the other side." It's just that due to the lack of intelligence, we can't judge what the next plan of the Sijing people is, so I suggest that you also come back for the time being, so as not to be attracted into the enemy's possible traps. ”
"Our satellites can see it clearly, and it's impossible for them to set up traps that go undetected by us." "I think we should pursue and use this opportunity to push the front back," Younger replied. ”
"Even if we can clearly see all the other party's movements, don't forget," Yu Qian immediately reminded him after hearing Yanger's words, "The Sijing people have several times more troops on that front line than you. Although there are less than twenty Devourers in front of your company, which is basically the same as your company's strength, the performance of the Stalker does not seem to surpass the Devourer at the moment, and I can now see that the Sijing people seem to be mobilizing Devourers from other places, so that they will have more main battle tanks than you. ”
"Hell, in the city, the army can't be fully deployed!" Janger complained, "Before, I couldn't take out a few more Devourers because I couldn't deploy my forces, but now even if the opponent outnumbered me, but in a head-to-head fire, the forces that can attack each other are the same, and because the main weapon of the Devourer is a straight-line fire weapon, it is impossible to skip friendly attacks, while the tanks in our rear can raise the elevation angle and carry out curved artillery fire, and if we really fight, we still have an advantage!" ”
"Don't think about it so much, Jangar!" Yu Qian raised his voice and said, "Even if the Stalker has this ability, it is not a curved cannon after all, and you want to use this tactic in the city, unless you reduce the projectile charge of the cannonball!" But then it's even more impossible to penetrate the Devourer's force field and armor! Don't think I'm an infantryman and don't understand this! Now you come back first! We've determined that there are no civilians left in the area of the firefight, so we can request artillery support from the base! I'll have the Poison-tailed Scorpion cover that area with precision-guided projectiles and raze it to the ground!" So I command you to withdraw it for me now! ”
"Alright, yes, sir, I'll do the order at once." In the end, the biochemical clone soldier who engraved the obedience order in the genetic sequence, after Yu Qian made it clear that it was an order and no longer a suggestion, no matter how dissatisfied he was, Lieutenant Yanger, the tank commander who was also a little tough in character, could only choose to obey rather than resist.
No matter how much he complained, he could only order his tank company to start retreating and return to the position before the attack.
Not long after the tank company retreated, a guided artillery shell slid through the sky with a whistling whistle and landed in the control area of the Sijing people, exploding countless fireballs! A large number of urban buildings collapsed in these shells, and more pillars of dust were stirred up!
Through the satellite, people can clearly see that the assembled and huge number of Sijing people's combat weapons are constantly turning into ashes under such dense artillery fire, and a large number of gaps appear in the dense formation in an instant!
Not only artillery shells, but also dozens of cruise missiles are interspersed. Since the planetary assault carrier that activated the plasma storm could not be effectively attacked for the time being, the cruise missiles that had been prepared naturally could not be left there all the time. When the troops in the city needed fire support, in addition to the poison-tailed scorpion artillery, the Gorgon base also launched a third of the cruise missiles to attack the powerful devourers and reduce the pressure on the ground troops.
