Chapter 103 HCP stands on the earth
At the same time as the psychic shock exploded, the swarm drones automatically locked on the remaining "Holy Spirits" based on Amber's previous lock on them in mid-air. They split into several groups and flew towards their respective targets.
When Amber was wearing a psychic shield, using the 12mm Gauss machine gun and the 'Form Breaking Song' triple grenade on her legs, she opened fire on the Imperial defenders around the impact point who had not yet recovered. While killing.
The swarm of drones also approached their target.
The 7mm gunpowder kinetic energy weapons mounted under these small things swept past weak points such as the Holy Spirit's external sensors and mechanical foot joints.
The cartridge-type ammunition supply allows these little things to carry 120 rounds of ammunition at a time while maintaining their size, which is enough for them to complete a round of strikes.
Only a wealthy country like the Star Dragon Empire would equip swarm drones, which are basically consumables, with sophisticated gadgets like explosive warheads.
Under the swarm's fire, although the armor plate of the vehicle body was still unable to be penetrated for a while, the shock wave and fragments caused by the warhead explosion quickly destroyed the Holy Spirit's external sensor.
No matter how designers design and rack their brains to make the bomb-receiving area of the sensor component smaller.
Without the protection of a deflection force field, these delicate components are still fragile after being hit directly.
When the Holy Spirit light multi-legged chariots on the bridge defense became blind, the driver inside had to open the emergency observation port for observation.
The swarms gathered around Amber again and began to attack the surviving orbital paratroopers nearby.
Even if some of the soldiers quickly hid behind a bunker after being attacked, with the help of Lilith, these soldiers had actually been marked out.
So before they could lean out from behind the bunker to fight back, several drones would go directly behind the bunker and fire in their faces.
While Amber commanded the swarm to drive Wushuang, completely disrupting the bridge defense, other units of the assault team also rushed forward with sparks and lightning.
Without the support of other heavy units, multi-legged combat vehicles and orbital paratroopers alone could not stop Amber's mixed commando team.
Just as Amber told the armored vehicle not to put down the infantry, but to continue to rush towards Gnaku, the communication channel suddenly received an urgent warning from friendly forces:
“Attention, assault team! Two imperial HCPs have broken through the defense line and are approaching you at high speed! Repeat"
"Fuck, why were they broken through so quickly?"
To be honest, when I heard the news. , Amber was still a little sweaty.
If there is only one HCP, he may be able to win by blasting the seeds and relying on the cooperation of other units.
But now the empire’s two HCPs are dispatched at the same time. With tacit cooperation, the two HCPs can fully exert the effect of ‘1+1>2’.
So with no HCP on his side, and with his current psychic level, Amber has no chance of confrontation.
"Warrant Officer Amber, continue the assault! We will stay here to protect you!"
The voice of one of the Mammoth commanders came from the communication channel.
"Eighty percent of the empire's HCPs are not equipped with atmospheric flight components, so if they want to intercept us as quickly as possible, they must pass through here! Our multi-legged tanks may not be able to block them, but delaying time is still no problem. "
While speaking, the two Mammoth heavy multi-legged tanks activated the deflection field again and adjusted their direction, pointing the muzzles in the direction they came from.
The other three light multi-legged tanks also found a suitable position to set up their cannons, and loaded them with self-forged warheads, preparing to attack the weak points on the sides and rear of the HCP.
"That's all up to you! I'll leave the bee swarm to help you!"
Due to the emergency, Amber couldn't think of a better way for a while.
In order to reach Gnaku as soon as possible, he could only accept this plan, and then controlled the swarm to temporarily hide under the bridge deck, and set up a coordinated attack mode.
Then, he quickly left with the rest of the assault team.
Not long after Amber and the others disappeared inside the base area, these multi-legged tanks also captured the shadows of two Imperial HCPs on the other side of the bridge.
The two silver-white Zealots rushed onto the bridge without any hesitation. They rushed towards the bridgehead position with full thrust, and even exploded a sound barrier visible to the naked eye during the charge. .
"Alternate fire! Stop them!"
Under the command of the Mammoth Commander, the multi-legged chariot guarding the bridge opened fire. At the same time, swarm drones also flew up from under the bridge.
Faced with the deterrence of electromagnetic reconnection cannons and self-forged warheads attacking the side and rear engines, these two HCPs showed amazing driving skills.
They kept alternating positions, and during the high-speed charge, they relied on the vector nozzles to make various high-G evasive movements that were almost discounted translations, and reached the bridge in just a few seconds.
Obviously, the two HCPs planned to rush to a close range that was more advantageous to them, and then rely on their advantages of flexible maneuverability in a small range to prevent the Mammoth's electromagnetic reconnection cannon from being easily aimed.
"'Volcanic Stone', you just break through and I'll play with them!" "Okay!"
Lieutenant Rudolf, whose call sign was ‘Volcanic Stone’, said nothing and directly accepted the wingman’s suggestion.
The Zealot he was driving suddenly jumped up from the bridge, and then passed over the head of the Federation multi-legged tank with the full force of the propulsion array.
After detonating a 'Tarantula Kai' with a Gauss rifle in the air, Rudolf landed smoothly, set up his cannon and aimed at the swarm drones that were about to attack the side and rear of his wingman, and directly charged The particle cannon swept over.
Amidst the crackling explosions, most of the swarms that were forming a dense formation and preparing to carry out suicide attacks relying on built-in explosives were swept away like mosquitoes swept by an electric mosquito swatter.
After completing the attack, Rudolph took advantage of the gap where the Mammoth aimed at him had not completed the turret turn, and disappeared in the direction of Amber and the others after a jet sprint.
According to the route guide, it didn’t take long for Amber and the others to find the spare granary at the bottom of the space elevator base area.
Major Randall jumped out of the armored vehicle without waiting for it to stop, then rushed to the Gnaku gate control terminal and started identity verification.
"Quick, quick, quick, this broken machine!"
As he cursed, the door to the Gnaku slowly opened, revealing Amber and the other two HCP pilots and the maintenance squad. The vehicle rushed in immediately.
The remaining mobile infantry, including Isabel, Randall, and several medics, quickly began to set up a defense line near Gnaku.
From the armored vehicles and transport trucks, everyone took down portable electromagnetic guns and anti-vehicle missile launchers that far exceeded the normal allocation of their organization.
Then, under the instructions of a motorized infantryman who was 'experienced' in fighting HCP, they dispersed and deployed.
Although I know this kind of firepower configuration, when facing an Imperial HCP, it is not even a drop in the bucket.
But everyone knows that they must buy time for the HCP to be prepared in the Gnaku.
Only by allowing them to complete the activation would those present have a chance of survival.
After an unknown amount of time in this tense atmosphere, Randall even felt that he had lost his judgment on the speed of time passing.
Until the passage where they came from, there was a sudden roar.
Then an Imperial Zealot, driven by the propulsion unit, rushed into the enclosed space in front of the Gnaku.
Just at the moment it appeared, the two Mongoose 4 armored vehicles didn't even have time to fire before they were detonated by the Gauss rifles in the hands of the fanatics.
The mobile infantry who reacted to the explosion immediately launched a counterattack from their respective positions.
The high-speed penetrating rod fired by the electromagnetic gun and the attack of the anti-vehicle missile made Rudolf, who became cautious after being defeated once, turn on the deflection field without hesitation and control the body to continuously move. Moving around in this limited space.
At the same time, the fanatic’s newly equipped ‘anti-psionic combat unit’ was also activated by him.
This equipment, newly developed by the Royal Equipment Manufacturing Bureau, can effectively suppress the psychic fluctuations of level four and below psykers on the battlefield.
In this battle, secret weapons were specially equipped to deal with Amber.
Although Rudolph's offensive rhythm was stopped, he also cautiously cleared the peripheral federal defenders first.
But this kind of obstruction is based on the sacrifices made by the mobile infantry every moment.
Attack positions are constantly being detonated by Gauss rifles, and motorized infantry are constantly being pierced by close-range lasers while moving between bunkers.
As the electronic combat vehicle and medical truck hidden deepest exploded under the attack of the fanatics, nearby Isabel and several medical soldiers were also knocked to the ground.
On the other side, Major Randall, who was helpless facing the portable electromagnetic gun that had been reduced to a pile of scrap metal, finally couldn't help but yelled in the communication channel:
"Amber, I can't hold on anymore! Are you okay?!"
"Boom!"
What Major Randall waited for was not Amber's response, but a sound from There was a loud bang at the door.
The gate of Gnaku was blown open from the inside out in the explosion.
Isabel, who was between the Imperial Fanatics and the Gnaku Gate, only saw a gray-painted steel giant rushing out of the smoke generated by the explosion with an indomitable momentum.
Amber's roar also reached everyone's ears through the communication channel.
“Here I am!”
