Chapter 2669 Jackal Squad
Sand, gray sand, is like the residue of burning embers.
As long as there is the slightest disturbance, they will be blown away briskly, mixed with rolls of unclean air, and slap on the desolate slopes, like waves licking the shore.
Looking under the dazzling sunlight, there seemed to be something bright and sparsely arranged among the gravel.
But if you walk over, bend down, and grab a handful of rough sand, the sand grains will immediately flow away from the gaps between your fingers, so softly that it can almost be said to be brushing, even the tiny particles falling on the ground. There was no sound.
Yaya let go of the hand protected by the glove and let the gravel fly into the distance. Just a dozen meters in front of her, something seemed to be burning, exuding a strong smell of burning gasoline. This area was dotted with Many shining fragments of earth behind the slope.
Treading heavy steps, she moved forward a little, and finally saw clearly that a Wild Ass Creeper of the Mechanicum was almost burning out.
The two walking machines are like a huge square weight, with four legs tilted, like a dying beetle. It is unclear whether it was destroyed first and then rolled over, or whether it rolled over first and then was destroyed. Red The iron shell of the car has been burned by the fire until it looks like remanufactured steel. The burned part has turned into a rough and uneven gray scab. Someone seems to have used some kind of explosive to penetrate a large hole in the side of the car shell. There are remains on one side of the car. There were several white signs that were burned to pieces by the fire, which seemed to represent its number.
The observation port on the front of the car now lacks any trace of its former order. The two armor plates are missing. The hatch at the top is open, and the round-covered hatch is swaying, like an insect against death. It is unyielding and still waving its tentacles. There should be a plasma cannon in the front of the hull. There used to be a machine gun in the top hatch, but it is now a trophy that belongs to the winner.
The fate of the crew members who have never met seems to have become intriguing: were they lucky enough to escape, or were they captured when they got out of the car, or were they transformed into nothingness like everything else in this wasteland? A ridiculous plume of black smoke?
With hatred, Yaya hoped that the death of the slave robot soldiers inside would be more painful, although she knew very well that these cyborgs would not suffer any pain at all.
“Yaya, it’s time to go.”
Behind her, the voices of her companions came. The female knight in heavy protective clothing immediately bent down and took away the wild donkey to crawl. He picked up a small piece of debris from his motorcycle, then turned around and trotted all the way to his motorcycle, sat astride it, and slapped the piece onto a magnetic board, which already had more than a dozen pieces on it.
In addition to her, there are fifteen motorcycles and two Atalan all-terrain vehicles around. This is the entire strength of their 0083 Jackal team.
And their vehicles all come from the "enemy", that is, the Mechanicus. First of all, motorcycles are a very common means of transportation in the Forge World, and the Atalan all-terrain vehicle is the most common small industrial vehicle in the empire. They are often equipped with destructive industrial tools such as mining lasers and flamethrowers, allowing ATV riders to support agile crews on mining expeditions and battles. With machines like this, a mining company can reach out far enough. New locations can be found to feed the Empire's endlessly hungry network of planets.
As a result, Atalan-class ATVs can be found in almost every industrial, forging, or agricultural sector of the Empire - and like the ubiquitous lasguns, they are cheap to make, highly durable, and easy to repair, sort of. It is a symbol of human industry, and of course its models are also diverse, especially in marginal areas and frontier areas. The Black Limb Church attached great importance to vehicles during its development period. From its initial days of picking up trash and recycling scrapped vehicles, to later directly controlling the workshops in the mining areas, the church accumulated equipment while training new blood who were good at driving and combat.
Eventually before the riots, the Black Limb Order already had a huge mobile force of more than 20,000 vehicles of various types, and formed more than 300 teams of various vehicles. A small team was formed and named the Jackal Team.
In battle, the Jackal Team will be like a difficult snake that keeps shuttling in the enemy's fire. The simple weapons in their hands become more deadly with the huge impact, and those who think they are just The stragglers of the Mechanic-Priests soon realized their mistake, because some jackals secretly carried mining explosives and unexpectedly dropped them among the enemies while moving at high speeds, causing annoying disasters.
But their most important task is to fight against the roving troops of the Mechanicus, such as the Dark Cavalry and the Hunting Intelligent Robots, or mobile troops such as the Steel Walkers, to maintain the ground in Scorch Oven City and other war zones. transportation network.
In the early days of the riot, with the help of seizures, the number of Black Limb Order's combat vehicles once climbed to more than 100,000. They even organized an "armored force" in a decent manner, claiming that they would defeat steel with steel——< br>
The idea is very good, but unfortunately the Black Limb Order still underestimated the explosive power of a forged world. Although it was indeed caught off guard by the Jackal Team at the beginning, it once allowed the gene stealers to connect several war zones together. But as the foundry director mobilized his forces in time, a fierce counterattack ensued.
Tens of thousands of Hades Cavalry and Hunting Troopers, together with Wild Ass Crawlers and Heavy Cavalry Fighter Servants, began to form a giant network in the vast desert. At the same time, a large number of Archaeopteryx formed a tight surveillance network in the sky. , the jackals soon discovered that they had become birds in a net.
After a month of continuous fighting, the Black Limb Order was horrified to find that their vehicles had been reduced by half, and now they were less than 50,000 vehicles. And they finally realized clearly that those trucks, off-road Cars or various engineering vehicles are difficult to fight against real weapons. Even the wild ass crawlers that have been ridiculed are difficult to deal with, let alone those combat soldiers.
At this time, the cult realized that the ground battle had turned into a bottomless pit, so they decisively changed their strategy and direction, abandoning the direction of Cui Fanke City where the enemy's power was most concentrated, and concentrated the Jackal Team in the direction of the No. 3 Holy Furnace Mining Area and Direction of Slag Mountains.
Yaya's team is responsible for the 200-kilometer straight-line desert area from the No. 3 Holy Furnace Mining Area to Coke Oven City.
The Holy Furnace Mining Area No. 3 is very important to the Order, because after the Order took control of Scorch Oven City, it was confirmed that the Mechanicus was unwilling to bomb their precious machinery and foundry, so they immediately began to resume work, trying to manufacture weapons at the same time While fighting against the enemy, raw materials and energy are needed to manufacture equipment and weapons. Raw materials are okay. After all, there is no shortage of metal in Coke Oven City, and a lot can be dismantled, but energy cannot be solved. The energy reserves in the city have been exhausted during the riots. Part of it was destroyed, and the remaining part could only last for 2 months at most. At this time, it relied heavily on the energy provided by the refinery in the No. 3 Holy Furnace mining area. Fortunately, the energy pipelines were buried deep underground, so there was no need to worry about being destroyed. The enemy bombed it, but the No. 3 Holy Furnace Mine was not completely occupied from the beginning, because the Black Limb Order dispersed its power to Cui Fank City, resulting in insufficient troops here, and finally allowed the Mechanicum's defensive forces to stand firm. heel.
