Chapter 21 This is how we engage in party disputes (Please read it! Please collect it!)
Titan, when it appears on the enemy's position, is an infantryman's nightmare.
But if it is to protect one's own side, it falls from the sky.
It is the patron saint of infantry.
Viscount Ankarin had not planned to call the orbital assault ship to airdrop the Titan so early.
But there is really no way to deal with the federal main battle tanks currently raging on the streets.
This land warfare weapon with a long history has been slowly withdrawing from the battlefield in the era of directed energy weapons flying all over the sky.
But since deflection field technology was removed from space battleships, and superconducting batteries became more and more popular.
The main battle tanks actually received a wave of ‘version bonuses’.
Driven by a hybrid of a high-power gas turbine and a superconducting battery pack, the main battle tank achieves higher output than before.
Not only can it wear stronger armor, but it can also be equipped with large-caliber straight and curved electrothermal chemical cannons.
It can also run a low-power deflection force field with the support of a superconducting battery pack.
When this powerful confinement magnetic field envelopes the tank.
The attacks of most weapons cannot break through its defense.
Even if the infantry has evolved to "all exoskeletons + all Gauss rifles".
Your main battle tank dad is still dad.
Of course, where dad exists, grandfather will naturally exist.
HCP is the grandfather of the main battle tank.
So when Viscount Ankarin used the company's communications troop as a relay, he contacted the orbital attack ship overhead.
Immediately began to ask the other party to airdrop 'Grandpa' for support.
"The situation is urgent. Use my position as the airdrop coordinates and let the pilot make fine adjustments at the end of the airborne landing!"
"Don't worry about anything else. Just throw one down first and knock over the tank in front of me. Thank you. ! "
As an imperial noble, Viscount Ankarin is the leader of the 'Blood Dragon Group' appointed by the emperor.
So he doesn’t have just one regiment of orbital paratroopers.
The four orbital attack ships responsible for carrying the Blood Dragon Regiment are also under his direct command.
Therefore, facing the big boss's order, the airdrop coordinator on the ship could only quickly run to the HCP squadron to find the bravest one.
Then he kicked Titan down.
Viscount Ankarin and other members of the noble team on the ground spent a long and torturous 10 minutes.
Finally I heard a roar from high in the sky, followed by an explosion.
That was the sound of the HCP leaving the drop capsule after completing the atmospheric entry.
Then they heard that heavenly voice in the communication channel.
"'Red Wolf' accesses the channel!"
"It has entered the terminal airborne stage and is preparing for ground support!"
"Sir, please provide target guidance!"
The rough voice of the HCP pilot was like the voice of a war angel in the ears of Viscount Ankarin and others.
He immediately led several members of the noble team around him to conduct laser guidance through the gap in the bunker.
The crew members in the main battle tank also immediately received an alert from the laser omnidirectional warning device.
But before they could call the mobile infantry around the tank, they stepped forward to interfere with the opponent's laser guidance.
A white and blue plasma beam fell from the sky.
After being hit by plasma heated to tens of millions of degrees, the deflection field generator of this main battle tank was instantly overloaded.
The armor plate of the tank melted like butter.
Immediately afterwards, the superconducting battery pack was detonated.
The 'little sun' produced by the explosion not only directly swallowed the tank, but also swallowed up the surrounding motorized infantry who were coordinating with the tanks and infantry.
The Titan, who completed this dangerous distance fire support, retracted the small heavy particle cannon behind his shoulders.
Also behind him, two strings of heat decoys like red wings were released. Amidst the flames of two detonated portable surface-to-air missiles, the red-painted Titan completed its landing under the deceleration of the plasma propulsion array on its back.
"The Red Wolf has arrived on the battlefield and salutes you, Lord Viscount!"
Behind the tall body of the Red Titan, the night sky was lit up by artillery fire and explosions.
More and more airborne pods continue to fall.
With the support of HCP, the advancement of the orbital paratroopers can be said to be like entering uninhabited territory.
Most of the lightly armored targets were detonated by the 50mm Gauss rifle in the hands of the HCP.
If he encounters a tough opponent like a main battle tank, Red Wolf will directly deploy the small heavy particle cannon mounted on the back of his shoulder and fire a shot at the target.
If one shot is not enough, try another.
On the ground, no unit can compare with the output power of an HCP equipped with a subcritical reactor.
The HCP of Yasin Base was also destroyed along with Base Gnaku in the first round of orbital strikes.
When Viscount Ankarin advanced to the communication center with his noble team and an HCP.
Most of the battles in Yassin Base are coming to an end.
After more and more Imperial orbital paratroopers and HCP landed, the surviving defenders lost their firepower advantage and were quickly divided and annihilated.
At the gate of the communication center, Viscount Ankarin also successfully merged with the 'Tail Needle' who had been lurking in the Yasin base.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is finally here! We must quickly confirm the situation in the core communication room."
‘Tail Needle’ did not exchange too many greetings with Viscount Ankarin.
After losing contact with ‘Judas’, he always felt that there might be something wrong here.
But during the fierce exchange of fire between the base defenders and the landing troops, he never found a chance to sneak in.
Just like this, we waited until Ankarin and others arrived.
"My men have lost contact. I suspect that the two naval intelligence officers who were traveling with him have mutinied."
"Naval intelligence officer? Rebellion?"
Hearing the words of 'Tail Needle', Viscount Ancarin's eyes suddenly raised.
"This crime is not a small one. Do you have any definite evidence?"
"Of course, I had evidence that one of them had betrayed three days ago."
After the leading orbital paratroopers sent back a safe signal, 'Tail Needle' immediately led Ankarin and others into the communications center.
At this time, after thinking about the forces behind the Naval Intelligence Department and Star Dragon Fang.
Viscount Ankarin felt like he understood something.
"Lord Marquis, it seems that you want me to make a choice."
At the same time, 'Tail Needle' who was walking in front suddenly asked:
“I heard that the commander-in-chief of your fleet, the Marquis of Ascania, seems to have a good relationship with the regent?”
"Well, I can't answer this question, but it is said that their personal relationship is indeed good."
"I see."
'Tail Needle' slowed down and walked to meet Ankarin. Viscount side by side position.
Then he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"What about you, Lord Viscount? I heard that the regent is recruiting talented people. At this time when the empire is in turmoil, many The nobles all pledged their allegiance to the regent."
"Me? Hahaha"
Viscount Ankarin laughed dumbly. He had completely understood the 'story behind' this mission.
And the direction of things is also the direction he least wants to see.
“Of course I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.”
Hearing Viscount Ankarin’s answer, ‘Tail Needle’ laughed twice, and then walked to the front again.
"Oh? It seems that you are really a loyal minister of the empire~"
