Chapter 491 The Fighting Style of the Immortal
“Boom!!!”
As Baninger withstood the arc burning of the deflection force field, he rushed into the main battle of "First Arrival" Once the tank's side skirt armor is close, it will be difficult to have any suspense in the next battle.
After receiving a highly confidential development task directly from Amber, Atlas's military industry department has been wondering why it suddenly developed such an 'unmanned combat vehicle'. They suspected My boss may have created some unmanned combat unit that is more advanced than the 'Hive Core'.
However, due to the confidentiality level and the extremely strict discipline within Atlas Group regarding confidentiality, the employees in the military industry department responsible for this development task were very sensible and did not choose to ask more questions.
Instead, he focused on the development tasks and tried his best to meet the needs raised by Amber.
This includes the puzzling requirement of ‘having a high resistance to damage derived from the deflection field of ground units’.
“What do you mean? Is this power armor intended for melee combat?”
Although members of the development team were still full of doubts about the usage scenarios of this requirement, they finally adopted the replacement The main armor material and the method of adding additional isolation interlayers enable this power armor and its accompanying weapons to 'bath' under a deflection field of a main battle tank or even an HCP level.
Now, if these developers of Atlas Military Industry can see the battle of the Immortal Legion, their doubts will naturally be solved.
Because the immortals really know how to fight at close range.
In large plains or combat areas lacking cover, Baninger and the others would honestly use the performance of their own bodies and equipment to carry out standard battles.
But after entering urban areas or factory areas similar to urban street fighting, with the mobility of power armor and combat bodies far exceeding other heavy armored units in a small area, Baninger and the others may choose efficiency. Higher melee combat.
Just like now, when Baninger drove the Dauntless into the deflection force field of the "First Arrival" main battle tank, the three main battle tanks of this armored platoon suddenly unexpectedly Unable to threaten Baninger.
Not to mention the main gun and the coaxial cannon, which will not be able to hit Baninger at all.
The only thing that can successfully launch an attack is the remote-controlled weapon station on the top of the turret.
But the twin-mounted 25mm cannons above were spitting out tongues of fire, and after several rounds of scanning at the 'Dreadnaught' powered armor, which was much taller than the main battle tank, in addition to the external armor, It swept out a large number of sparks and left pitted marks, but failed to cause any substantial damage.
Especially when the operator was extremely nervous because the tank was approached by someone, and in a panic controlled the weapon station to set the attack target as the best but hardest front breastplate, even the relatively fragile The head-mounted viewfinder was not damaged.
Then Baninger used the electromagnetic machine gun in his hand to clean the weapon station, observation equipment and other bits and pieces on the turret.
“The target has been locked but is too close to friendly forces. If you fire rashly, it may cause damage to friendly forces!”
When Baninger broke through the wall of the building and successfully got closer, another nearby second-generation main battle tank crew of "First Arrival" also saw through the sighting equipment that the friendly crew next to it was larger than ordinary powered armor. The units in the circle were suddenly panicked.
Although they have now aimed at the target, they do not dare to fire at this moment.
Not to mention that the friendly tanks still have the deflection field activated, this shot may seriously deviate from the target. Even if it can attack directly, it is difficult to avoid damaging friendly units at such a close distance. Cause harm.
Especially the use of highly penetrating weapons such as electromagnetic reconnection guns to attack the already relatively vulnerable sides of main battle tanks.
And their hesitation also gave Baninger time to launch an attack.
An electric arc surged on the power glove on his left arm. As the electromagnetic force output by the power pack was converted into kinetic energy through the electromagnetic muscle bundle, Baninger punched the side of the main battle tank turret.
While a dent was created, the electric arc attached to the power glove also destroyed the regularly distributed metal protrusions on the outside of the turret armor.
These antenna-like things cover almost the entire turret and car body, and they are the key to allowing the deflection field generator to cover the entire car body.
Because there is a plasma propulsion array behind HCP, the deflection force field cannot completely protect the whole body. It can only pull out a force field of about 270 degrees.
But main battle tanks that simply travel on tracks do not have this worry. As this ancient weapon gradually regains its 'second spring' under some special circumstances on the battlefield, major equipment manufacturers He also began to pile up materials on this veteran.
And Atlas is currently the fastest one.
Amber knew that the main battle tank would be redeveloped as the war progressed, because the cost of this thing was lower than that of HCP, and the technical requirements were not as high as HCP, so it was In the later period, many small forces were even able to collect materials and components themselves and 'hand rub' them.
In terms of the three major indicators of protection, firepower, and mobility, the protection indicators of main battle tanks are the same as or even slightly higher than those of HCP.
In terms of firepower indicators, in addition to being unable to use heavy particle cannons, the killing effect of its equipped electromagnetic reconnection cannon or plasma cannon is not weak.
Compared with the HCP, the only shortcoming of the main battle tank is its maneuverability index. Although the main battle tanks currently in service can easily run at a speed of 70-80 kilometers per hour on paved roads, even if it is It can also maintain a speed of about 60 kilometers per hour in off-road environments.
However, the HCP's jumping ability, flexibility in making various human-like movements, and the use of the burst of plasma propulsion array to reach a sprint speed of Mach 1 in a short period of time can be said to overwhelm main battle tanks.
But even so, in some battles that do not require high mobility, such as position defense operations, main battle tanks can still occupy a place by virtue of their protection and firepower.
It’s just that the armored platoon under General Lampard was really unlucky. Not only did it make it a taboo to let the enemy get close in urban warfare, but the close-quarters weapon was also a close-quarters melee machine. A five-meter-tall large powered armor.
After Baninger punched down, the deflection field that the main battle tank was still maintaining first had a hole due to damage to the diversion metal parts on the side of the turret, and then in this Under the continued attack of the Immortal Legion Commander, the entire deflection force field was completely disrupted.
The final deflection force field generator also triggered the emergency procedure - shut down and restart.
And this also gave other immortals the opportunity to attack.
As an orange-red ballistic trajectory rolled up a wave of air through the burning streets, and accurately hit the head of the 'first to board' main battle tank, the high-speed flying alloy penetrating rod quickly penetrated After passing the passenger compartment of the car body, and after smashing the commander sitting in the middle, he plunged into the power compartment at the rear of the car body, eventually causing the entire superconducting battery stack to lose speed.
When the brilliant aurora-like plasma shot straight into the sky under the action of the tank's pressure relief device, Baninger also drove the Dauntless towards another target in the distance.
The left and right electromagnetic reconnection cannons on the back weapon racks were also deployed at the same time. At the moment when charging was about to end, Baninger made an emergency stop and deployed the auxiliary support hoes on the legs of the power armor.
“Buzz! Buzz!”
The sound of charging and releasing was followed by two ear-piercing screams.
The piercing rods fired by the two electromagnetic reconnection cannons flew to the left and right to another target directly in front of him. The main battle tank that was turning its turret just aimed its muzzle over. Being hit by the high-speed piercing rod caused a dazzling arc of electricity.
At this distance, the deflection force field is somewhat difficult to defend against kinetic energy weapons such as electromagnetic guns. Although the crew had already turned the power of the deflection field to the highest level when Baninger killed their teammates, the kinetic energy carried by the two high-speed penetrating rods fired at close range still exceeded the defense threshold of the deflection field.
After being slightly twisted to a certain angle, the two piercing rods still successfully passed through the deflection force field and bombarded the left and right 'cheeks' of the turret - and here too The 'Xianden' main battle tank has the highest physical defense of the entire vehicle
Another group of designers from Atlas Military Industry obviously considered some extreme situations, so they piled up defenses on this most important 'face to face'.
The final result was that the two high-speed piercing rods fired by Banninger still failed to penetrate the turret armor after leaving deep bullet marks on the left and right sides of the front of the turret.
Looking at the two balls of fire that exploded after the hit, but finally flew away crookedly elsewhere, even Baninger couldn't help complaining at this moment:
"Fuck ! Why is the quality of the company’s foreign trade products so good!”
Of course, complaints are complaints, and Baninger did not stand still waiting to be beaten. He quickly put away the auxiliary support hoe and electromagnetic gun. A lateral displacement away from the original place.
This move also caused the target main battle tank to immediately counterattack based on the enemy's firing direction after being attacked, missing the best chance to hit.
This faster penetrating rod finally only scraped the side of the deflection field in front of Baninger, but the huge kinetic energy it carried still forcibly knocked the running Fearless to the ground.
The crew of another main battle tank that had not yet fired suddenly found that the only opportunity was right in front of them.
Their position is just on the other side of Baninger's sprint direction, which means that this huge power armor has exposed its relatively fragile back at this time.
The moment the sight in the sighting device was placed on the power armor that was getting up from the ground, the gunner of the main battle tank felt his whole body trembling with excitement.
The commander next to the gunner seemed to feel the emotional changes of the crew. Although he was very nervous at the moment, he still reminded:
"Be patient and don't get excited."
< br>"Boom!"
The next second, a loud noise came from above the vehicle body. The entire main battle tank directly crushed the paved road below under the huge impact force. At the same time, The crawler running gear was also severely damaged, and the entire body tilted to one side.
That is to say, this foreign trade tank does not equip the crew’s helmet with an integrated head-mounted display function. Otherwise, the three people in the car would just look up and see another huge power armor stepping on them. On the car body, one of the mechanical legs even stepped on the armor plate above the power pack until it collapsed.
Under this huge impact, the main battle tank's deflection field generator, power unit, main gun and other important equipment all malfunctioned.
Before the surviving crew members could recover, the power armor dropped from the sky and jumped off the body again. At the same time, it used a multi-function launcher to throw two melta bombs at the top of the tank's turret. Sticky bomb.
With a special 'hissing' sound, the high-temperature plasma formed a huge heat beam that melted all surrounding materials, including the armor on the top of the turret.
When a huge explosion sounded, knocking the main battle tank's turret aside, Memphis, who had completed the attack, looked in the direction of Baninger.
At some point, the Immortal Legion Commander took out the plasma halberd that was originally folded and stored behind his back. He was standing next to the last main battle tank with the halberd in his hand, and then The electromagnetic reconnection cannon in the center of the turret has been cut off by the halberd, and the remaining half is hanging to the ground as if it is not lifted.
A bullet hole on the side of the turret also means that it was hit by a team member hiding in the building responsible for long-range anti-armor missions.
“It’s done!”
Banninger’s voice rang in the communication channel, and he himself rushed towards the direction from which the three main battle tanks came.
“Memphis, Andes and I will continue to attack and eliminate the remaining infantry fighting vehicles!
Grace! Try to establish a tactical-level neutrino communication network and reconnect with several other combat groups Get in touch! ”
Lilith's quantum entanglement communication equipment is generally used for long-distance communication, so only the leader of each team has the relevant equipment on his aircraft.
The complex electromagnetic environment on the ground coupled with the need to maintain communication confidentiality, so conventional microwave communication has been completely abandoned by the immortals.
In addition, after the immortals "descend" inside the carrier, they cannot communicate in real time like they can in the virtual space, so they still need to rely on other communication methods to maintain contact.
Due to the close distance within the combat team, they are basically within the visual range, so the blue-green laser communication method will be adopted after the blue-green laser communication codes are assigned.
But if you want to contact other combat groups further away, you can only use this neutrino communication equipment that is still in the testing stage.
This technology was previously used on battleships, satellites or large HCPs such as 'ATLAS'. However, due to the increasingly urgent communication technology needs of the Atlas ground combat forces, this technology was quickly miniaturized and put into use. test.
"Legion Commander! We have contacted other combat groups! Except for Group D, which has not yet contacted the enemy, both Groups B and C have repelled the enemy's tentative attacks!"
" Very good! Tell them to continue attacking the important targets as planned!" Baninger said while aiming at an armored infantry fighting vehicle that was racing in the distance.
As the electromagnetic reconnection cannon on the fearless man's shoulder flashed with lightning, the orange-red trajectory 'collided' with the firmly locked armored infantry fighting vehicle at lightning speed.
The penetrating rod hit from an oblique angle caused maximum damage to the interior of the car body. While flying the turret, it also almost tore the car body into two pieces.
After confirming that the target had turned into a pile of burning wreckage on the plain, Baninger continued:
"Grace, after completing the communication, put out the reconnaissance terminal and confirm the direction of our next attack. Situation!"
"Roger, Legion Commander!"
Soon, Grace, who was in charge of combat communications, put down the equipment storage box on the side of the weapon rack behind his back.
Different from the other three Dreadnoughts in the combat group, which are mainly responsible for combat, the Dreadnought he drove canceled the heavy equipment on one side of the weapon rack and replaced it with this one equipped with a reconnaissance terminal. storage box.
As the laser communication device transmitted a code to the storage box, the latter was quickly opened with the help of the hydraulic rod. Grace also quickly operated to activate the detection terminal inside the storage box.
When these detection terminals, which were no more than the size of a baby's fist and looked like a 'golden snitch', flew out of the storage box like a swarm of flies, they quickly flew away under Grace's instructions, like a horizontal sheet. Like a large net in the air, it covered Banninger's target point.
