Obviously, the gene stealers ambushed the "elite" in the pond, just waiting for the Imperial Army to be attracted by the cannon fodder in the north, and they suddenly climbed over the wall from the south. I have to say that the plan is quite good.
However, their lurking skills were not yet good, so they were discovered so simply that Hayes immediately mobilized his strength.
"Has the grenade team been set up?"
"Okay! Company Commander!"
"Stop shooting!"
The moment the order was issued, two automatic grenade launchers began to roar. This weapon was considered a substitute for the "heavy explosive bomb" in Vatish. Its structure is simpler than the explosive gun, and its weight is reduced a lot, but its range is much lower, but it can be shot in a curved manner. The grenade can cause a killing radius of nearly ten meters, which is very suitable for slaughtering light targets without any protective gear.
Soon a dense rain of bullets fell on the heads of the ambush gene stealers. The grenades that continued to fire formed a continuous wall of death. The explosion shock waves shattered their wet clothes, and the flying shrapnel cut off their skin and blood vessels, but they were still charging and never reeling.
"They are testing our firepower limit little by little..."
Hayes murmured at the fallen gene thieves, then he heard the drums and immediately picked up the telescope.
Directly along the open avenue, a large group of gene stealers rushed in like a tide with modified tractors. The modified tractors were inlaid with iron sheets. Gene stealers kept hitting the human skin drums on them with hammers made of human leg bones. The flags symbolizing the Gene Stealer Sect fluttered high above their heads. On one of the most "luxury" tractors stood a commander holding a sickle. He held a pistol in one hand and a sickle in the other and shouted:
"The day of ascension has arrived! Dedicate yourself! Return to the embrace of the Star Emperor, and say goodbye to hunger, illness, and death forever!"
Hayes stared at the group of enemies. If he read correctly, the claws and carapaces that flashed between the gaps in the metal plates of the tractor were probably pure blood.
"I'm very smart, I know to use armor to protect their most lethal units."
Hayes has studied the horror of pure blood many times. Whether it is words or film and television pictures, the characteristics of these creatures are kept in his mind. He can be said to be the hardest-working person in the officer crash course - and he has been studying day and night not to climb up, but just hopes that he can lead the people in the company home.
"If the pure blood species are brought close, the guardrail may not be able to be defended. Their climbing and jumping abilities are too strong. Once they get close to their sharp claws, it will be very terrible..."
Hayes then reached out and picked up the communication microphone from the back of the communications soldier on the side, and then quickly called the regiment command center.
"The regiment headquarters, here is the third company. We are besieged by a large number of gene stealers and need shelling support. The coordinates are..."
The regiment artillery position 50 kilometers away from the battlefield was lunch time. The artillery soldiers had just surrounded the big pot and had not eaten a few bites when the communicator broadcast suddenly came.
"Architecture Company, coordinate determination, orientation, 1-7-2-0..."
"Wori!"
The artillery officer threw the can in his hand and jumped up immediately.
"Hurry! Stop fucking eating!"
Amid the artillery soldiers' cursing voices, the originally raised muzzles of the six weapons similar to petrified lizard self-propelled cannons began to neatly choose and slightly lower the height, and the calibration was quickly completed with the help of data sent back by the servo skull.
These petrified lizard self-propelled artillery are very different from the commonly used models of the Astral Army. Although its chassis is still the Chimera chassis, the one above is a closed turret, which makes it better in environmental adaptability than the conventional models of open turrets. The turret is equipped with air extraction devices, thermal sheaths, modular anti-rear seat systems and survival systems, which can maintain combat in an oxygen-free or radiation environment.
Just as the artillerymen quickly adjusted the shooting angle, Trojan bomb supply vehicles also arrived at the designated location, and used their robotic arms to stuff one high-explosive shell to bring destruction into the barrel.
The Trojan Support Vehicle can be said to be one of the cornerstone vehicles of the Astral Army. It can be used as a tractor to tract a weapon platform or an armored ammunition transport vehicle. After the weapon platform is in place, the ammunition will be transported to the weapon platform, or the ammunition will be transported to the front line troops that need supply. Since it is a logistics vehicle, it is difficult to see them on the front line, but in the rear, they can often be seen transporting supplies from the rear warehouse to the front line.
The support vehicles provided to the artillerymen have specially transformed the robotic arm to capture heavy ammunition. With the help of this special ammunition supply vehicle for loading, the fastest firing rate of this model of petrified lizard can reach 6 seconds.
Of course, artillery soldiers can also choose to manually load the vehicle with auxiliary facilities, but this will take longer.
At the same time, the main gun used by this model of petrified lizard is not the mainstream ground-shaking gun of the Empire, but a large-caliber impact gun. This type of artillery is an upgraded version of the ground-shaking gun. Combined with extended range shells, the entire artillery range exceeds 100 kilometers.
Because of this series of improvements, these self-propelled artillery are actually no longer petrified lizards. After friendly consultation with the manufacturers of Ulanhuda, Soshiyan named this model the Assassian self-propelled artillery to commemorate a master of artillery in the old legion. This thousand-man commander is also one of the few people who left a record of name in Avesta.
"complete!"
"Open fire!"
The next moment, the roar of the God of War resounded through the sky, and 6 high-explosive bombs crossed the sky, almost passing through dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom-
In a few breaths, violent explosions covered both sides of the road, and countless gene stealers were thrown into the sky screaming, while those modified tractors were directly overturned or split into pieces under the huge impact. The pure blood species hiding inside were buried in the sea of ​​fire or crushed into meat foam without seeing them. The huge craters were then imprinted on the ground. Since there was no shield around them, the lethality of the shrapnel was magnified exponentially. One hundred meters around the crater was scattered with countless broken limbs and bloody whining bodies.
"This is a three-company, the orientation remains unchanged, the shelling distance is reduced by 50, and three rapid fires are fired."
Hayes checked the shelling effect and adjusted the coordinates.
"The bombardment distance is reduced by 50!"
"aim!"
"Fill in!"
"Open fire!"
Chapter completed!
