Chapter 388 Mecha! Attack!

The commander's will was quickly implemented. The operators of the rocket vehicles that were raising the third round of missiles instantly changed the command input. The bombing direction originally aimed at the large-scale area behind the insect tide changed instantly, and all the rocket vehicles aimed at the only large target.

How the target's attack took effect and what kind of technological content was behind it were things that the people from the scientific research institute in the city needed to worry about when they returned to the city for analysis after the battle.

As a general commanding the situation on the battlefield, his most important duty at the moment was to reasonably arrange the distribution of his own combat power according to the threat level of the opponent.

Facing a brand new unknown behemoth, it is better to bombard it directly for a few rounds instead of cautiously testing it.

After all, the other insects are within their known cognition, and only this newly appeared insect has not yet known its full capabilities.

If there is a large-scale control ability similar to "Dominate", then the soldiers present will face an unimaginable severe challenge.

Even without mentioning the ability similar to "Overlord", the large-scale bombardment ability currently demonstrated by the target alone has caused far more damage than the combined killing of a group of scattered artillery insects.

Even their Titan-class combat mechas, which should have been indestructible and indestructible, lost almost all their mobility in the opponent's bombardment. This is the first target they have encountered that can threaten the Titan-class armed mechas except Overlord.

If this level of output is not solved first, their front will soon be completely destroyed.

The white missile clusters fired by a group of rocket vehicles carry everyone's expectations.

In the eyes of a group of people who can observe the overall situation of the war, including Bai'e, those white missiles dragging orange tail flames fell one after another towards the giant target that was difficult to move.

The giant insect obviously reacted, but its overly heavy body made it difficult for it to control perfectly.

Facing the bombardment of the missile cluster, even this giant beast that was born purely for war, under the guidance of survival instinct, changed its posture as much as possible, trying to resist the bombardment of missiles with the thick gray-brown chitin armor on its back.

"Boom boom boom!"

The missile clusters without a unified central control system failed to hit the target at the same time, so the continuous explosions continued for a long time, and even the earth was torn into pieces under this unified bombing, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust.

The broken soil clods were spread out in all directions along with the rising mushroom cloud, and only a huge black shadow was looming in the smoke and dust.

Until the smoke and dust slowly dissipated... the movement of the frontal charge finally fell into the eyes of the people who were originally focused on observing the situation of the giant beast.

"It's okay..."

Bai Er narrowed his eyebrows and eyes, his eyes were solemn.

Not that he didn't die.

But he was okay.

The missile cluster bombing that was enough to destroy everything was unable to shake the giant beast too much.

"It's useless!"

"Retreat?"

In the command vehicle, an atmosphere of despair spread.

Facing an unknown beast, they did not expect to be able to take it down with a single round of missile salvos, but at least they could achieve a considerable result, which would allow them to have a rough estimate of the beast's defense level. But now...

Unscathed?

"No! It's injured too!"

The beast's body moved, and its right foot, which served as support, twisted suddenly, making it difficult to support its heavy body.

"Its lower body does not have the same level of defense on its back."

As the beast stood up, its back with thick chitinous bone armor and its gray-white lower abdomen and claws formed a sharp contrast.

In the face of the missile swarm bombardment, there was almost no damage on its back, but a lot of damage and charred flesh could be seen in the gray-white area below.

"Two more rounds of bombardment should be enough to take it down." An officer looked excited.

All fears come from insufficient firepower. As long as it can be completely destroyed under the baptism of artillery fire, no opponent is to be feared.

"Two more rounds of bombardment, and the front battlefield will be difficult."

The situation on the battlefield is always in a state of balance. If you want to use long-range support firepower to specifically target the same target, it means that you cannot cause enough suppression to the opponent's main formation.

The V3 rocket vehicle has limited loading capacity, and the ammunition filling speed also needs time.

With two more rounds of salvo time, the situation on the front battlefield may be quite bad.

Whether it is the bombardment of the insect artillery insects, or the worker insects and bee insect swarms led by the opponent's many mantis insects, without the fire cover of the missile cluster, the pressure faced by the mixed army is unimaginable.

"And it may not be possible to take it down."

Humans do not know the capabilities of the new Zerg bugs, and the new Zerg bugs will also collect accurate data through battles. This is the experience gained by humans through flesh and blood in previous wars with the Zerg.

Facing the bombardment of human artillery fire, the giant insect has an instinctive self-protection action, but it did not completely cover its own shortcomings.

If it returns to its original "lurking" state, then its "weak points" of lower abdomen and limbs will be hidden under the thick carapace.

"Salvo fire is not realistic."

"It's time for our boys to come out."

The mecha squad that came with the army this time is to deal with such emergencies.

Even if there was no preparation for launching a battle against this newly appeared behemoth in the initial plan, when encountering such a target that ordinary combat power cannot deal with, it is time for the Titan-class armed mecha to play a role, even if this batch of pilots is stepping on the battlefield for the first time...

The commander who is responsible for commanding the mecha team gave a solemn order, "Mecha Combat Team 1, attack! Kill the behemoth, victory belongs to mankind!"

[Trigger the side quest - End the behemoth. ]

[End the behemoth: The behemoth that suddenly appeared on the battlefield is wreaking havoc. Its existence is an unimaginable threat to your joint army. Only by completing the decapitation operation as soon as possible, your attack on the Zerg expansion operation this time will have a chance of success. Mission requirements: Decapitate "behemoth" 0/1 within 3 minutes. Mission completion reward: Behemoth illustration. (Countdown: 2 minutes and 59 seconds)]

"Yes, sir."

As the captain of the mecha squad, Bai'e responded calmly and issued an order in the squad voice, "Everyone, use me as the spearhead to launch a surprise attack, and be sure to complete the decapitation operation within three minutes!"

'Increase the time limit privately..." The mecha squad commander who gave the order had his eyes flickering slightly, with a bad look.

What I dislike most on the battlefield is a soldier with his own thoughts.

Soldiers only need to perform their duties, not have thoughts.

He did not ask for a time limit, but he increased the time limit privately.

Is it to show off in front of his superiors? Or is it just to show his authority as the captain internally?

Either way, it is obviously an unpleasant starting point.

It does not count as a bonus if you do it, and it cannot be done...

"Received!"

"Received!"

A voice of response sounded in the mecha squad voice.

No matter what these team members think, on the battlefield at this moment, the order issued by Captain Bai'e, as their direct superior, is everything to them.

Except for the unfortunate mecha whose calf was directly disintegrated by the giant beast, the other five mechas launched a sprint from different positions at the same time.

Facing the giant mecha that was more than ten meters high, the insects on the ground were as vulnerable as reptiles.

With every step, countless insects turned into a mixture of broken armor and pus under the big feet of the machine. Only those larger mantis insects could launch some resistance to this behemoth, but it was not very useful.

Even so, these insects still climbed up frantically along the non-smooth surface of the mecha, and tried to use their sharp symbiotic weapons and their acid to attack some weak points on the surface of the mecha.

Just like a giant entangled by ants, if it cannot keep moving, even if the whole body is made of eight-element alloy, it will eventually be buried in the insect swarm.

The design of the mecha is a highly coordinated whole, and any external weight will cause this perfect balance to be broken.

This abnormal feedback requires the pilot to rely on his own experience and operation to make up for it.

Of course, there are simulations of similar situations in simulated battles, but the reason why abnormal situations are abnormal is that they are varied and difficult to replicate.

You can only rely on the pilot's keen perception of the body to adjust the operation at all times.

Bai'e also felt that the body was out of control to a certain extent.

Every moment when the footsteps fell on the insect swarm, those crazy insects would climb up desperately, so that his feet were now full of small worker insects and bees.

Although he was always moving, the surface of the mecha that could not be cast in one piece and required a certain amount of activity space for dexterity was actually full of splicing cracks, which was enough for those insects to use their symbiotic weapons full of spikes and barbs to tightly absorb themselves.

Breaking away from the overall advancement of the troops and rushing into the enemy camp alone is prone to this embarrassing situation of being trapped in the enemy camp. Not only Bai'e, but other mechas following not far behind Bai'e are in the same situation.

Being able to resist this interference and continue to achieve one's tactical goals is a consideration of the level of the pilot in each mecha.

The current interference is not enough to completely destroy a mecha, but they obviously cannot carry too many burdens to carry out the operation of beheading the behemoth.

"Speed ​​up the charge!"

In order to take care of his teammates, Bai'e did not start at full speed.

Every time the speed of the mecha is increased, the requirement for operation intensity is geometrically increased.

At this moment, if he wants to speed up, he must first need his teammates to keep up.

"Report to the captain, there is a risk of losing control!"

"Report to the captain, we are already moving at full speed."

It is not the full speed of the mecha, but the full speed of personal control ability.

Bai'e frowned, looking at the behemoth in the distance that was leaning down and preparing to bombard again, with some hesitation in his eyes.

It was also the first time for him to lead the team on the battlefield in a mecha. Unlike his own personal battle, he was familiar with the situation he could deal with. The situation he encountered when using the mecha was completely different. He did not dare to make a decision easily to leave his partners and fight alone.

Moreover, the link he had established since his first contact with the mecha has not yet fully taken effect--

[Link remaining countdown: 20 hours, 38 minutes and 52 seconds. 】

The 48-hour connection time is calculated based on the time Bai'er spends inside the mecha to operate it. Since he came into contact with the mecha entity, his actual training time has not yet reached 48 hours, and he is far from establishing a deep connection and communication with the mecha.

He didn't dare to take this risk easily.

"Shua shua~"

A mysterious image suddenly flashed through his mind, and the image of the deep rock land quickly flashed in Bai'e's consciousness.

Realizing this, Bai'e suddenly turned back and looked in the general direction of the image -

the rear of the entire army!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Almost the next moment Bai'e turned his head to look over, dozens of hideous sandworms jumped out from the ground.

The transport vehicle full of logistics was overturned in an instant, and the soldiers carrying guns were thrown high.

The sandworms with sharp claws all over their bodies danced their bodies wantonly in the sun...

"Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy!"

Needless to say, the voice channel must be in chaos now.

Although they knew the existence of sandworms and had expected it, when these evil creatures appeared behind the army at an inappropriate time, everyone's spirits were instantly tense.

The elite troops that had been reserved launched a counterattack in an instant, and the battle line was not only staged at the forefront where the flesh and blood insect nest and the steel torrent clashed.

"Boom! Boom!"

Misfortunes never come alone. The tremor of the earth was clearly transmitted from the body of the mecha to the cockpit link of Bai'e.

As a combat weapon, the design of the mecha has never considered comfort, but requires the pilot to have a clear perception of the environment encountered.

As for the load on the body brought by this perception, it can only rely on the pilot's physical fitness to resist.

Fortunately, Bai'e and Rose's physical fitness level is top-notch even in the entire military camp.

The tremor of the earth did not affect their combat status, but allowed them to focus their attention on the source of the vibration at the first time--

In the distance, three giant red figures were stepping on heavy steps, rushing from the southeast one after another.

"Master!"

The giant red insect is undoubtedly the easiest to make people think of that terrifying nightmare at the first time.

But it is not.

Bai'e carefully examined the three giant insects' bodies--

They were somewhat similar to the Overlord, with six arms and dark red giant beasts. Even the chitin armor on their bodies looked just as thick and heavy, reflecting bloody reflections in the sun.

But the new giant insects looked more like giant apes walking on all fours. Their forelimbs, which were equivalent to human arms, were not sharp double knives like the Overlord, but a pair of roller-shaped round hammers.

The bone armor on their bodies did not have too many spikes, and they looked much rounder overall.

"They look more defensive... maybe they are the guards of the artillery beasts?" Bai'e narrowed his eyes and made a judgment.

They're back! They're all back! They were a little shaky last month, but they won't be postponed this month!
