Boom!
Perhaps unable to hold back any longer, or maybe just trying their luck, the turret of one of the T90s rumbled loudly!
Following the tank's firing, the SPAS-12, which had already approached the tank, leaped onto the top of the tank with a breaching axe in hand. The heavy machine gun that had just turned to aim at her had no chance to fire before being smashed into scrap metal by the axe in SPAS-12's hand.
Accompanying the damage were the anti-tank launchers on both sides of the tank turret and various other external devices such as the commander's observation periscope, all of which were trampled by SPAS-12 as if she were a locust passing through!
Meanwhile, Simonov and Jaeger were also firing directly at the armored vehicles. Although the BK27 was also an antique from decades ago, the armored vehicles in front of them weren't exactly brand new either.
With just a few shots, the armored vehicles, which had been relentlessly pursuing the powered exoskeletons with their machine guns, were all silenced.
Almost every armored vehicle had dozens of bullet holes on its body. The crew inside were probably already riddled with bullets by now.
After dealing with several armored vehicles on this side, M1 Garand and the others turned their barrels and began looking for weak spots on the tanks.
However, although the machine guns equipped on M1 Garand and the others' powered exoskeletons were more than capable of dealing with armored vehicles, they weren't as effective against tanks, which were armored from head to toe. Even targeting the weakest rear part of the armor didn't yield significant results.
SPAS-12 jumping onto the top of the tank and smashing and trampling around turned out to be the most effective method.
The tank that she had wreaked havoc upon had now become blind, without night vision or targeting equipment. They couldn't even see where their nearby friendly vehicles were.
While SPAS-12 was handling the tank, M1911 decided to take matters into her own hands. She hoisted the RPG29 onto her shoulder and aimed at the rear of one of the tanks, pulling the trigger.
Boom!
M1911's attack was undoubtedly effective. After a loud bang, the rear of the tank exploded, flames erupting from within. The top hatch was also blown open, and the crew inside struggled to crawl out.
Unfortunately, these guys weren't wearing protective suits. Opening the hatch and crawling out in this situation was practically suicide.
As M1911 reloaded the RPG29, intending to repeat her success on another tank, Renault ran over and waved to the group, signaling them to back off.
Once the tactical dolls had all retreated to a safe distance, Renault, like SPAS-12, leaped onto the top of the tank.
However, instead of destroying the equipment on top like SPAS-12, he merely removed the ammunition supply system of the machine gun, then placed a device the size of a water cup on the tank's top.
In less than three seconds, Renault had placed two of these devices, then jumped down from the tank's top.
Sizzle!
The two cup-sized devices emitted dazzling electric light as Renault jumped away. The blinding white light was even visible to NZ75 at the factory gate.
The dazzling electric light lasted for several seconds, and when the light dissipated, the tanks that had been constantly moving in an attempt to lock onto the powered exoskeletons were frozen in place, sparks flying from the devices on their roofs as if struck by lightning.
"Hey, Commander, if you had something so useful, you should've brought it out earlier. If we had this earlier, we wouldn't have had to run around these tanks like idiots," MDR complained upon seeing how easily Renault incapacitated two tanks with the device.
Since her powered exoskeleton wasn't equipped with many weapons, and her single machine gun was of little use, MDR naturally played the role of repeatedly attracting fire in front of the tanks.
"You didn't say anything, and I almost forgot. You, aren't you carrying electronic warfare equipment on your back? Isn't that thing more powerful than what UMP45 and UMP40 have? Why didn't I see you hacking into the control systems of these tanks and controlling them?"
Upon hearing MDR's voice, Renault slapped his forehead and looked at the electronic warfare equipment, resembling a square box, on MDR's powered exoskeleton's back.
Although that thing was originally just a modified jamming device, its power undoubtedly exceeded that of the electronic warfare equipment built into UMP45 and UMP40's bodies.
Coupled with MDR's skills in electronic warfare, it would have been a piece of cake for her to disrupt or hack into the control systems of these tanks!
If MDR had done that earlier, they might not have needed to fight at all.
"Eh? Um... I forgot..." Upon hearing Renault's words, MDR scratched her head in embarrassment.
Since she got her powered exoskeleton, she hadn't used that set of equipment much. Plus, during battles, it was always Simonov or Vector who took the lead.
This girl who often stayed behind playing with her phone and posting on forums even forgot what equipment she had.
"Hey! Hurry up and disable the remaining tank, track down the location of these people's base, Nagant, quickly clean up here, send those who are still alive to reunite with their teammates, and then Vector, burn them out. Simonov and SPAS-12, go back and prepare the helicopter. Let's move, move."
Since there was a place selling pets in the city before, there's probably a veterinarian there.
However, Renault was pessimistic about whether those veterinarians could treat ELID. If they could, wouldn't that mean they could cure humans too?
No way animals could be treated for ELID but not humans, right?
The tactical dolls immediately sprang into action. MDR effortlessly disabled the tank that had been sabotaged by SPAS-12. The tank's control system was no match for MDR's computing power.
On one side was an antique from decades ago, on the other was a tactical tactical doll upgraded by Renault with electronic warfare capabilities. In MDR's hands, the tank's control system was as easy to manipulate as flipping open a flip phone.
The few remaining live occupants inside the vehicle couldn't help but jump out after MDR stopped the air conditioning system. Then Renault sent them straight to hell one by one.
Apparently, they'd rather come out and take their chances against Renault than sit inside a metal coffin waiting to die. Who knows, maybe they'd win?
The situation was even more tragic on the armored vehicle side. The crew inside the armored vehicles that had been pierced by machine gun fire were hardly intact. After confirming that there were no living beings among them, Renault simply left these armored vehicles here.
Although the equipment on these tanks and armored vehicles was still decent, Renault was starting to look down on them. And what they urgently needed to do now was to take the cats from home to find a veterinarian...
