"Boom! Boom! Boom! The three Riemannus tanks began firing in quick succession, blasting three huge fireballs and countless fragments of stumps in the dense swarm of shockwave robots with high-explosive grenades, leaving three conspicuous gaps in the swarm, which were quickly filled by the robots that surged behind.
Subsequently, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun and 20mm G25 heavy rifle hidden in the structure around the tank also fired, and these targeted weapons were extremely effective against the originally heavily armored robots, and a large number of robots were penetrated by high-speed projectiles when they rushed into the intersection, and then collapsed to the ground, or exploded into blue-purple fireballs!
In just a few minutes, the gap they had deliberately left behind was almost blocked by the wreckage of those robots!
However, the tanks that had been prepared for this had a few high-explosive grenades, which were deliberately blasted open by the closed gap, so that the robots could continue to attack from here, and then be eliminated one by one under the dense fire of the defenders. After all, the defenders, both in terms of numbers and firepower, were far inferior to the troops of the Sijing people, and if they didn't use this method, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long, even with the Iron Eagle troops.
The gunfire intensified, and it was Ensign Vincent who had finished his blasting operation and rushed back with his men to join the firing team.
And the counterattack of those shockwave robots was not without gain, many human soldiers who did not hide themselves were hit by plasma bombs, and without even making a sound, they turned into a body of immobile coke.
The fight lasted a full fifteen minutes, and they eliminated at least three times their own shockwave robots. Fifteen minutes later, however, the Shockwave Robots stopped attacking, and instead of continuing to attack the gap, they all retreated.
The entire battlefield fell silent in an instant, except for a few buildings around it, which were in the midst of a firefight, set ablaze by shells or plasma. The sound of burning material is still coming out.
"They've retreated?" Major Carter covered the wound on his head and asked in a low voice, the building where he was hiding had partially collapsed after being hit by multiple plasma bombs during the firefight. The falling debris of the building landed right on him, who was not wearing a helmet. Thankfully, he wasn't stoned, and now that the fighting is suspended, he's being bandaged by medics.
"It's not clear." Second Lieutenant Vincent shook his head and said, he was wearing the full force field armor suit and now had no bruises at all, "I'm contacting my superiors." Apply for satellite map observation. I don't think they're going to retreat, though, because they still have the upper hand. ”
"Why don't we take this opportunity to evacuate?" "They don't know when they'll come back, and if they do, they'll be better prepared, and we'll have a harder time fending off their attacks." ”
"But now the civilians have not been transferred, not only the people in the bomb shelters, but also those who have been controlled. The transfer of non-combatants is now less than halfway complete, and we cannot just leave. Vincent objected, "And we have reinforcements too." We just need to hold on a little longer. ”
"But I'm afraid we won't make it that far." Major Carter's morale was visibly low, and he was saddened and frightened by the fact that he had lost forty-seven of his men in the fifteen minutes of the previous battle, all of them killed and unwounded.
"Okay." Seeing this, Ensign Vincent shook his head a little imperceptibly, he was a little disappointed, but he still said, "Since you are injured now. It's better to hand over command to Captain Cheney, and you go to the transfer area to direct the evacuation of civilians. In your current situation, you will not be able to command the battle normally. ”
"No, I can't leave now." Major Carter shook his head. As if trying to get rid of his headache, he looked at Ensign Vincent and said, "I must be responsible for my people, and since I am ordered to command the battle here, I will not leave my men behind unless I am killed or truly unable to command." ”
"So let's talk about whether we can take advantage of this halftime. Strengthen the defenses here, after all, we don't know what the enemy plans next. As he spoke, Second Lieutenant Vincent took out the electronic map again and put it in front of Major Carter, which had just been updated with satellite photos, "Look at it, our enemies are not evacuating, they are just a block away from us and are regrouping." Judging from satellite imagery, they appear to be remobilizing and re-equipping. Previously, they only relied on the shockwave robots as infantry to attack, and the obvious losses made them feel a little heartbroken. ”
"I thought they wouldn't care about the loss." Pressing the wound that had been bandaged, Major Carter said, and then focused his eyes on the map, "Look at this number, unless we concentrate the strength of the entire regiment, don't try to block them in the plains, fortunately this is the city." ”
"Look here," Ensign Vincent pointed to a corner of the enemy's assembly area, "there are about sixty foot guns here, but this six-legged mechanical vehicle is not enough to defend itself, and the main gun of the Riemannus Ruth tank can be solved with one shot, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Here, there are more than seventy Seeker hovering vehicles, and their defense is also very poor, equivalent to our infantry fighting vehicles, but they move very fast, if it were not for the streets here that may limit their mobility, once they are allowed to run, it will be difficult for Riemannus tanks to lock onto them, and they can only be effectively dealt with with missiles that can be tracked and locked. None of these things are a problem, we need to be careful, it's this. "Ensign Vincent's finger, where he was pressing, were parked ten vehicles larger than the Seeker and Foot Cannon.
"What is this? A model you've never seen before? Major Carter asked, "There is no data on this kind of thing in the information you gave before. ”
"That's when we got the name of the weapon, and there is very little data on it." Second Lieutenant Vincent was also very helpless, he had just received the news about this kind of large vehicle, and this was just asked by Lieutenant Colonel Li Zhengyang when he interrogated those Sijing prisoners, "This kind of weapon, called Devourer, belongs to the heavy equipment of our main battle tank level, and it is also suspended and traveling, so the mobility will not be bad." But the firepower and defense, we don't know, because we don't have any experience fighting them. However, judging from the ratio of the number of this Devourer to other heavy equipment, it will definitely not be weak, otherwise the number of other vehicles will almost exceed 100, and this Devourer will not only appear in ten. ”
"Then we'll have to be more careful." Major Carter glanced at the three Riemannus tanks parked outside the house, "We need to strengthen the defenses of these tanks, they are the only heavy firepower we can rely on at the moment." ”
"No problem." Ensign Vincent said, then waved his hand, and several clones immediately ran towards the tank with a few crates.
"What's that?" Major Carter asked, puzzled.
"The new accessories of the Riemannus Ruth tank, the newly researched enhanced external armor, although it will make the tank slower after installation, but the defense power has increased more than a lot." Second Lieutenant Vincent motioned to the major to look at the past, "It is a kind of high-temperature resistant ceramic armor, and its defense against live attacks is similar to that of the previous external armor, which is specially targeted external armor." ”
"Then why didn't you take it out before?" As soon as he took a few steps, Major Carter suddenly stopped screaming in dissatisfaction when he heard this.
"Because this thing has just arrived, too." Second Lieutenant Vincent pointed to the rear of the position, where several APCs were parked, and the clones were carrying boxes of various sizes from them.
"When did they arrive?" Major Carter was astonished that he had not noticed the arrival of the armoured vehicles at all, and that no soldiers had come to report the situation to him.
"Didn't you say that? Just arrived. Second Lieutenant Vincent said calmly, "Although we are working together, we are not under your command, so there are some things that we will not report to you." ”
After speaking, he walked towards an Iron Eagle soldier who was standing next to the APC and was talking to someone, although it was said that after the EVA system, many contacts within the Iron Eagle could be carried out through the communication equipment in the helmet without alarming anyone, but the one in front of him, he still had to go to greet it, and the clone soldier was also very strict about the distinction between superiors and subordinates.
Walking up to the Iron Eagle soldier, Second Lieutenant Vincent first saluted, and then said, "Major Yu Qian, Second Lieutenant Vincent reports to you!" (To be continued.) )
