Traveling through the infinite wasteland

Chapter 394: Artillery attack

( ) "I saw it. ●⌒," The high-speed King of Land finally broke through the last sand dune that blocked the view. The night when he put on armor-piercing bullets early, he lassoed the porcupine floating in the wreckage of the imperial base building. Aiming circle.

"Huh?" The imperial pilot looked up in horror at the King of Land who suddenly appeared in his field of vision. He was only focusing on aiming at the coordinates provided by the fighter plane, and he didn't realize that the coordinates were getting closer and closer to him.

"Go to hell." Ye has always been cruel to his enemies, showing no mercy at all. He didn't care what the rookie was thinking, he just took aim and pulled the trigger.

After completing the shooting, Ye Ye immediately backed up and left without looking. The reason why two imperial defense turrets were firing at him was that it was not fun to eat a 500mm armor-piercing bullet. And Ye was very confident in his shooting skills and the King of Land's artillery.

Ye's confidence was proved by the life of his opponent. The 480mm armor-piercing bullet accurately hit the porcupine's head monitor and penetrated the entire tank from there. Ye deliberately aimed at the head monitor, because he knew that the live ammunition was the largest and often used it, so he would not allow such an incident to happen to his shooting. Seeing that the tank's body was smooth and had sharp corners, in order to prevent ricochet, Yeji chose the head monitor that would not produce ricochet and was relatively fragile as the target of his attack. This was because he did not know the thickness of the opponent's armor but The best way to kill with one hit.

"Porcupine No. 2, the signal is interrupted." The adjutant looked up in disbelief and saw that the status of the base's specialty tank turned red on the display screen, while the face of the imperial commander on the side had changed from gloomy to So ferocious.

"Idiots, all idiots. Instead of destroying that damn tank, this idiot lost his own life and turned my base into ruins. How could I choose such a bastard in the first place? It's really unlucky. ." The colonel punched the table hard. He now deeply regrets that he had chosen the pilot from among the outstanding graduates of the military academy, but at that time, he had no choice but to do so. The reason why no senior pilot is willing to drive this porcupine that is more like a tank, and no one is willing to fight using this weapon that has not been approved by the military technical department. As the only unit in the empire that was independently developed by a combat base rather than a technical department, the porcupine was helplessly faced with the dilemma of having no pilots after it rolled off the production line. The colonel did not want the weapons that his base had put all its efforts to develop to rot in the warehouse. So since he couldn't find any volunteer pilots in the army, he targeted the empire's military academies and selected the best two among these outstanding graduates. But how can anyone who has never been on the battlefield understand the horror of war? This rookie's first battle was one-on-one with the Federation's first ace. The gap was really too big. Even though the weapon attack capability of the Porcupine is stronger than that of the Land King, the gap between pilots cannot be made up by the quality of the weapons.

Ye, who retreated to the back of the dune, successfully dodged the attacks of the two turrets. The sand and dust stirred up by the armor-piercing shells that hit the top of the dune covered the traces of the Land King, temporarily making the two turrets lose their targets.

"The worst thing about a fixed defense turret is that you can't dodge artillery shells, and you can't even dodge smoke bombs." The King of Land came out of the sand and fog. The smoke generator on one side threw seven or eight smoke grenades towards the defense turret on the left wing, while the main gun's aim was steadily aimed at the other turret, and the 480mm explosive shells accurately passed between the two barrels of the turret. , entering the huge turret with a large number of armor fragments, the powerful shell exploded inside the turret, the high-level fragments decoyed the ammunition in the turret, and two consecutive explosions smashed the entire turret into the sky.

The turret commander on the left wing responded very well. He immediately loaded a blasting bomb and fired it at the open space 300 meters in front of him. The shock wave generated by the explosion blew away the smoke generated by the smoke bomb. The turret only had to wait for the blasting bomb to fire. Once the dust subsides, the view can be restored again. The dust dissipates much faster than smoke bombs.

"Huh? A very good reaction." Ye turned around just in time to see the turret dispersing the smoke bomb, but during the time when the dust stirred up by the explosive bombs faded, it was enough for Ye's tank to reverse into the sand dunes and complete the process. Reloading is done.

"Target, behind the dunes, No. 2 gun barrel, armor-piercing shells, attack." The turret commander was very experienced. He immediately deduced the hidden position of the night retreat and ordered his gunners to aim and shoot.

Boom, this 500mm shell passed through the sand dunes accurately. Hitting the front left drive unit of the Land King hiding behind a dune. In the huge explosion, the driver on the left front of the night tank made a big hole, the track guide wheel at the edge of the wound was scrapped, and the huge track was also blown off. Sliding off the skewed guide wheel. In the control room at night, the warning light indicating the status of the left front drive unit turned red, and a loud alarm also echoed in the control room.

"I know, it's so annoying." Ye turned off the alarm impatiently and cut off the power supply circuit to the left front drive unit at the same time. The left front drive unit of the silver chariot suddenly began to slowly rise. This was the protective move of the King of Land after cutting off the drive unit. Prevent the drive unit from cutting off the power supply from affecting the movement of the tank.

Ye retreated again as quickly as possible. As he retreated, he murmured in a low voice: "I underestimated the enemy. I should have retreated a little more. Damn it, I actually let the ground defense artillery hit me. If those girls knew, I have to laugh to death.”

"I hit it, yeah." Compared to Ye's depression, the soldiers in the imperial defense turret were cheering. They clearly saw some armor fragments flying in the explosion behind the dune, and these armor fragments could only peel off from the King of Land. Even their commander had a proud smile on his face. In his opinion, although the defensive turret had a lot of shortcomings, the 500mm gun equipped in the turret was a real mecha killer. As long as the mecha body If it hits, you can basically declare that the mecha has lost its combat effectiveness.

While these imperial soldiers were celebrating, the angry God of Death raised his formidable scythe behind the sand dunes and swung it at those who dared to hurt themselves. Ye, whose eyes began to change color, completed the aiming work directly based on his previous impression of the turret's position. The huge barrel pointed straight into the sky and sent out a blasting bomb.

The people who were cheering in the turret were stunned by the harsh whistling sound of super-large-caliber shells that sounded again. Only the commander of the turret reacted instantly and shouted: "Damn it, that guy is fine, he can still attack. . Get out of here quickly, we are going to attack." After that. This guy opened the thick armored door of the turret, pulled the soldier closest to him and ran out. The soldiers who were in a daze also let their leaders wake up and hurriedly ran out of the door. Run for the nearest cover.

Boom, just when the last soldier ran out of the turret, the cannonball fired by Ye accurately kissed the top armor of the defensive turret. The powerful explosion blasted a deep dent in the armor, and the reason why the armor in the center of the explosion point Unable to withstand the explosion and let it penetrate. Suddenly a violent shock wave swept across the entire turret carrying a large number of armor fragments. Together with the high temperature, it detonated the ammunition in the turret, causing a second explosion. This internal explosion directly destroyed the solid structure of the turret, pushed the powerful armor out of the inside, and pushed the soldier at the end to the ground. But these turret soldiers were lucky. Even the last soldier miraculously had only a few scratches. All of this should be attributed to their leader. If it weren't for their leader's quick response, I am afraid that everyone would be buried in the flames instead of the current situation where there are no major casualties.

"Gars, my side is fine. Let's start attacking the square box now." Ye connected with Gars and briefly introduced the situation on his side. Then the upper body of the King of Land stood up and, driven by three driving devices, walked towards the entrance of the empire base.

The Blood Prison Commandos encountered a lot of trouble here. Although they could move very fast, the soldiers of the Sand Fox Squadron were holding them back. These running mechas simply cannot leave the porcupine's attack range before the porcupine targets them. Helpless, Garth could only order the pilots to run around the sand dunes and approach the Empire base, while he led the commando team to activate the commando's floating mode and assault the Empire base. He knew he had to get close to the tank quickly, even from a distance, even if he was hiding behind the dunes. There are dangers too.

The three commandos had completely attracted the attention of the Porcupine No. 1 aircraft. The pilot had no time to pay attention to the soldiers hiding behind the dunes, and focused all his attention on the top of the dunes from time to time. The Blood Prison Commando appears. The pilot loudly asked the fighter planes in the sky to keep reporting the positions of the three assault troops to him, while he himself. He also drove the tank towards the back entrance of the base, where the view and shooting angle were the best.

The porcupine arrived at the predetermined location and began to read the coordinates provided by its fighter plane. What frustrated the military academy graduate was that the coordinates provided were changing every second. The irregular changes made the rookie sniper a little depressed, but he quickly thought of a good way.

The porcupine parked at the back door of the base sent a map to each Prue pilot, with the attack ray of the tank drawn on it. This ray passed through the area where the Baron Commando moved most intensively. Once Prue When you find an assault trooper or other federal mecha on this ray, you only need to notify the Porcupine pilots, and several pilots can hit the opponent just by pulling the trigger.

At this time, the federal fighter force saw the dilemma of the Blood Prison Commandos. The reason why the porcupine's maneuverability exceeded expectations allowed Gars and the others to greatly shorten the distance they could attack before the porcupine was in place. There was no way to include the porcupine. They were very compromised in terms of range. But the tank stopped after a while of looking left and right. These senior pilots immediately understood the pilot's attention, so these people once again gave up their own safety and launched a missile at the imperial fighter below. A round of attacks was launched to buy a certain amount of time for the Blood Prison Commandos, and at the same time, the pilot's planned plan was told to Gals and the others.

A melee broke out again in the sky above the 609 transfer base in the distance. Although the federal fighter planes successfully disrupted the formation of the imperial fighter planes, several more fighter planes crashed into the desert under the attack of the imperial air defense firepower.

"Damn it. Please be careful not to move around this ray." Garth shared the images transmitted by the fighter pilots to his mechas to the nine mechas and told him that he could not let the sacrifices of these pilots become meaningless. The three commandos also saluted the five fighter planes that crashed in the distance.

When the imperial pilot saw the melee above, he couldn't help but sigh that the federal pilots had a good grasp of the battle situation. This suppression not only disrupted the attention of the imperial fighter planes, but also provided sufficient time for the federal mechas to be alert in the distance. . The depressed pilot knew that his trick had been exposed, so he could only start the tank's air-cushion engine again, preparing to cooperate with the base's 50-meter-high watchtower to snipe the federal troops. He was completely disappointed with those imperial eagles.

The watchtower on the ground did not disappoint this rookie who had just graduated from the military academy. The continuous coordinates were reported to the pilot, giving him a basic understanding of the movements of the Blood Prison Commandos and enabling him to shoot.

A thick beam of light swept across the desert and shot towards Joe, who was constantly maneuvering left and right. This made Joe, who had been paying attention to the direction of the empire base, very dissatisfied. While controlling the direction of his mecha, he kept muttering: "Why is it me again? Do I have any grudge against you?"

The power of the light beam is still powerful, but it is only a particle after all, not a photon. It does not fly as fast as the speed of light, but only at a speed roughly equivalent to that of a live ammunition. The Porcupine's long barrel allows federal fighters in the air to easily predict its attack target, and the bright light bursting out at the moment of shooting also allows ground troops to accurately understand the timing of the attack. Aces like the Blood Prison Commandos can easily control the direction of their mechas to avoid these known attacks.

"Damn it." The pilot shouted angrily, knowing that his attack allowed his opponent to easily dodge. At the same time, the second beam rushed towards Joe again. He wanted to see how many of his attacks the federal pilot could dodge.

After receiving the fighter plane alarm and successfully evading the sniper attack by the imperial pilots again, Qiao couldn't help but wailed, "I must have not looked at the almanac when I went out today. Why are all the high-power beam cannons aimed at me?" Oh my God."

Compared with Qiao Rang's depression, the imperial pilot seemed even more depressed. Failure to hit the target twice in a row was something this talented student had never encountered before. The rookie, who regarded this as a shame, stared at Qiao, vowing to smash this guy who looked like a loach and was very slippery to ashes. The Imperial mecha squadron on the side also came to help. They rushed over with nine mechas. The porcupines surrounded them to prevent the other two commandos from charging in at high speed and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the porcupines.
