Chapter 249, Death of Titan
On the Black Arrow Star, Pinser City, the capital of the Luman Kingdom, and the residents on the outskirts of the city, were frightened and confused.
The fear lies in the war, even if neither side deliberately kills or injures civilians, and even deliberately protects them.This is true for the Alliance troops from another planet. After occupying the suburban town, they only occupied the necessary areas and imposed military control on the entire town, but did not harm the civilians.
However, war itself is the most destructive thing, no matter from any perspective.Guns have no eyes, and there is nothing anyone can do about the civilians who die as collateral damage.
It is natural for civilians to be fearful.
As for the inexplicability, it is also easy to understand: two days ago, everyone was still decorating with lanterns and festoons to celebrate the festival. It is always a happy day to have the so-called Gu family come to hold a meeting.The last time I came to the Luman Kingdom was more than 30 years ago. In the memories of some old people, it was very beautiful.
Why did a war suddenly break out in the blink of an eye?
No matter how much they can't understand, war always breaks out in a way that people's will cannot reverse.
They could only face all this with horror and bewilderment.
Farmers in the middle of the mountain looked at the battlefield in the wilderness below the mountain from afar.
Two armies confront each other in the wilderness.The terrifying war machine ran over their farmland.
One of them is the traditional army of the Luman Kingdom.Two Knight Titans led more than [-] Sentinel mechas and [-] infantrymen to advance.
The Luman infantrymen, who only wore civilian uniforms and had almost no protection, rushed to the front.
They are not well equipped, but there are many of them. To put it bluntly, they are positioned as cannon fodder.
Of course, even if it is cannon fodder, it is still valuable, even if you want to die, you can't die in vain.
They maintained a relatively loose formation, and according to their training experience, they were barely able to form a skirmishing combat team.This is mainly to avoid being wiped out by others with one shot or machine gun fire.
The rifles issued to them did not have too many bullets. The main reason was that the survival time of the cannon fodder infantry on the battlefield was not long, so too many bullets were wasted.Their mission is to charge, attract firepower, and at the same time, try to get rid of the ammunition in their hands before dying. The mission is considered completed.
The Sentinel mecha accompanying them is the main force.This thing, which is over three meters tall, carries a double-barreled machine cannon, which is already powerful enough.They couldn't penetrate the Lion tanks, but the armor of those Ramblers armored vehicles couldn't withstand the heavy fire from the machine guns.There are often three or five mechas, and one round of intensive shooting can destroy an armored vehicle.
The two more powerful Knight Titans are big killers.At the beginning of the battle, they destroyed three Lion tanks.
However, despite having dealt a heavy blow to the alliance army, Earl Delux, who was driving the Knight Titan, still looked tense.
With his many years of war experience, the opponent encountered his own superior firepower at the beginning of the battle and suffered such huge casualties that even the strongest combat weapon, the Lion tank, lost nearly 20%.Logically speaking, morale should have been hit anyway.
But why do these alien armies show no signs of wavering?
Not to mention those tanks and armored vehicles.In Count Dellux's concept, people who drive powerful weapons are generally elites. They have high morale and are not easily shaken. This is understandable; but those who were originally transported by troop-carrying trucks or infantry fighting vehicles are now all Shouldn't the infantrymen who dismount and fight on foot also be cannon fodder?
Why haven't they even wavered?
On the contrary, what surprised Delex most, other than armored vehicles and tanks, was the performance of these infantrymen in the Alliance army.
There are obviously only about 2000 people, but they are not timid at all when facing ten times the enemy; they will not cower and hide behind armored vehicles or tanks, but will bravely lean forward and use rifles to shoot from a distance. Their shooting skills were far more accurate than those of the Luman infantry, destroying the invading enemies; they clearly moved in squads and carried modified machine guns, which powerfully suppressed the advance of the Luman infantry.
Wherever the machine gun swept, the Luman infantry had to stop.They were either shot directly, or they had no choice but to lie down and find cover on the spot, and then wait for an opportunity to fight back - but often there was no chance.
And the only thing that can stop the firepower of these alliance soldiers for a while is the sentinel mecha.
The 'Knights' are not so easily eliminated by bullets. On the contrary, after they detect the firepower of the Alliance soldiers, they will often attack the double-barreled machine cannons.
The soldiers of the alliance are brave, but they are flesh and blood after all. When the machine guns come up, a series of shots will make half of the squad disappear immediately.
But... there are only eighty Sentinel mechas.
What's more, these infantry are not completely without countermeasures against the Sentinel mecha.
On the contrary, after realizing that the Luman infantry was quite fragile and the threat was low, those infantry aimed their main targets at the 'knights'.Team-level firepower, fired from machine guns, jingled on the surface armor of the Sentinel mecha.
If you can't penetrate it, you can't penetrate it, but in the case of several machine guns, the sentinel will still falter and its forward speed will be suppressed.
Often at this time, individual rocket launchers will be aimed at them.
But individual rocket launchers are still not enough to reimburse a sentry mecha.Dellux saw that there was a Sentinel that had eaten at least four individual rockets. It was burned black, its left arm was blown off, and its power system failed. But it still had one hand that could be raised and used the remaining He tried to counterattack with the machine gun he fired, and wiped out several infantry squads that attacked him in the face.
However, after the sentry shot and killed less than ten people, it was met with the Union infantry's ultimate means: a company-platoon-level mortar attack.
After a while, at least four mortar shells exploded on him.
At the same time, there was a heavy bolt machine gun fixed on the ground. It seemed to be a company-level support firepower from the opponent's army, and it also fired dense heavy bombs.
There are also machine guns on infantry fighting vehicles...
After withstanding such a level of attack, the Sentinel mecha could no longer withstand it and was destroyed.
Dellux had already reacted. He raised his left hand and fired several rounds of heavy grenades mounted under the mechanical arm, destroying the fire position composed of the company's mortars and fixed heavy bolters, and incidentally fired another round. The laser cannon blew up an infantry fighting vehicle accompanying it.
However, Dellux was still confused.
While he was doing this, with a glance, he saw two more Sentinels, destroyed in a similar manner.
Even faster.
After all, the army on the opposite side is not just infantry.
The Lion tank is also showing off its power. The rail-mounted main gun mounted on it can destroy the Sentinel mecha with one shot.
On the contrary, the Sentinel Mecha has nothing to do with the Lion.
By this time, he realized that the difference between the Sentinel Mech and the Lion Tank was too great.
The cost of the two may be similar, and the Sentinel mecha is cheaper, but it should be of the same order of magnitude; however, the difference between the two in terms of their positioning on the battlefield is huge.
The Sentinel Mecha is at most an infantry companion equipment and an anti-infantry unit. It is flexible and can accompany infantry into bunkers and fight inside buildings. Its human-like leg structure can enter complex environments.
This is its advantage.
However, it would be too stupid to confront the Lion tank on the plain landscape.They are big, have thick armor, and have heavy artillery.
A machine gun that could penetrate an armored vehicle would only produce craters on the Lion's body.Only by concentrating fire and firing rapidly for one minute to enlarge the crater and cause metal fatigue can the armor be penetrated.
But that's too difficult. The barrels can be turned around, whether it's the laser secondary cannon or the main rail cannon, they are all things that can penetrate the soul with one shot.
It's been 10 minutes since the start of the battle, and fifteen sentinel mechas have been blown up.
This is a big loss.
These 'knights' are also his people.
They are his vassals and can be regarded as his direct power.These losses must be calculated on his head.
It's also getting red-eye in Deluxe.
After quickly eliminating the main firepower of an infantry company, he turned around and went to fight the Lion tank.He no longer hesitated.After sending a message to the companion next to him on the communication channel to provide fire cover, he activated the automatic reloading and reloaded the grenade launcher on his left arm while striding forward.
He focused on the three finished glyphs, the fastest Lion tank team.
He has been unhappy with these three channels for a long time.
The railguns and laser cannons on it are always bombarding him.
The shield generator, which has never been fully restored to its full state, can still faithfully block one blow after another, but if it is ignored and allowed to continue to hit like this, there is a risk that the shield will be broken.
And those three lions were indeed a bit too close to him.
The distance was less than two kilometers, and with the Knight Titan striding towards them, the two sides were heading towards each other again. He arrived in 3 minutes.
The three male lions had already sensed the danger, so they split up and tried to go around.But how does their mobility compare to that of the Knight Titans?
Delux caught up with one, and against the round of running shot it fired, he raised his power fist with his right arm, piercing the tank from top to bottom.
The height of the Lion Tank is about three and a half meters, which is a little more than half of the Knight Titan.
After destroying one tank, he quickly turned around, ran to the second tank, and knocked over the tank from the side with his power punch.
Then it was Channel [-].
The whole process only takes a few minutes in total.
Delux feels quite refreshed!
At this time, the grenade launcher in his left arm has also been loaded.He raised his head and looked for new targets through the visual information transmitted from the observation sight on the Knight Titan's head.
However, at this time, two things happened.
First, his comrade, the driver of another Knight Titan, sent him a rather anxious voice message.
"Preparing to evacuate, another group of people guarding the town rushed out. Our rear army was not blocked and had already collapsed."
Dellux was quite dissatisfied: "So what? With the two of us working together, as long as we don't encounter dense heavy artillery, there is nothing to be afraid of? Your Majesty has given us an order to win at all costs. Don't you... ..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt shocked!
This is the consequence of the second thing that happened before.
It turned out to be an infantry fighting vehicle, which drove within a short distance of him and dropped a group of infantry.
He was aware of it, but in the process of communicating with his comrades, he was distracted and made a judgment that he didn't realize beforehand, but that may have been wrong later: he regarded the armored vehicle as the main target.
A howitzer blasted it to pieces.
However, the infantry that rushed in dispersed and approached him.
The gravity punch hit, and the infantry squad on the left was reimbursed almost instantly.
Gravity punch does not only cause damage to the part actually hit.When it hits the ground, gravity waves and gravel are scattered in all directions. These can kill infantry, and the alloy plastic steel armor plate is of no use.
However, there was still a group of infantry approaching his feet.
Realizing something was wrong, he raised his legs and trampled or kicked those people to death one by one.
However, what they want to do has already been done.
What the Knight Titan is equipped with is a shield generator.This thing has the same characteristic as the void shield: it cannot identify and block slow targets.
Close infantry, of course.
So are the bombs they posted.
Even though it was an ordinary explosive, it still caused a very bad effect when it exploded at the knee-like joint of the knight titan.
He wanted to move back and get closer to another comrade, but found that he was limping a little.
He has not completely lost his mobility, but there are some problems with the power system of his left leg, causing an imbalance on both sides.
This alarmed him.
Then, he saw three more armored vehicles approaching.
Having suffered a loss, he raised his hand to fire the howitzer, preparing to blow up the three vehicles from a distance first.
However, a blue light suddenly appeared.
A plasma-charged gun hit his left leg, which was already having problems, on the knee.
His figure suddenly tilted, and he knelt on the ground with his left leg. The howitzer, which was supposed to be a sure hit, also flew away.
La Crocha, who was clinging to the infantry fighting vehicle, put the recharged plasma gun back into the gun bag on his thigh, and then jumped off the roof of the vehicle.
After landing, he rolled twice and stood up again, running with all his strength. With the powerful physical strength and the blessing provided by the exoskeleton, his short-distance burst speed was even faster than that of an armored vehicle.
In order to cover him, an armored vehicle was destroyed by the gravity punch of the Knight Titan.
But this also brought La Crocha into attack range.
Reaching back, he pulled out the chainsword he was carrying.At the same time, he also approached the Knight Titan from the side.
He dodged the second punch and withstood the push of the gravity wave. He grabbed the upper edge of Knight Titan's knee with one hand, climbed a few steps and nimbly jumped to the side of its back.
He was going to attack the Knight Titan's cockpit, but couldn't.The cockpit is the top priority of the Knight Titan. It has heavy protection. Not to mention the chain sword in his hand, even if it is a melta bomb, the miniature one he is equipped with may not be able to burn through the driver. cabin, kill the pilot inside.
So, he changed his target to the shield generator next to him.
First, he attached the melta bomb to the back of Knight Titan's head and activated it, and then he used the chainsaw sword to slash at the structurally weak point of the shield generator.
Bang!
The shield generator exploded first, and the impact directly sent Lacroxia flying; afterward, the melta exploded, burning half of Knight Titan's head from the back.
La Crocha, who rolled in mid-air and fell more than 20 meters away, reluctantly stood up and looked at the results of the battle.
The energy shield around the Knight Titan has been extinguished; the Titan's head, which integrates observation, calculation, and servo skull assistance, has been destroyed.
Although this terrible war weapon has not yet been destroyed, it has undoubtedly become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
Oh, maybe an elephant waiting to be slaughtered is a more appropriate description.
