The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 150 Saint Samon VS The Fearless

Boom!

Another sudden explosion rang out, and an unfortunate Dauntless mech had one of its mechanical legs blown off by a landmine, crashing to the ground and completely losing its combat capability.

Upon seeing the second mech that triggered the landmine, the others realized one thing:

This place is not safe!

The enemy had planted countless landmines here, and they've already stepped on two!

When players were preparing to ambush the enemy here, they naturally took the opportunity to throw a lot of landmines.

They didn't know if the landmines they threw would hit their targets, but what if the enemy had poor eyesight or bad luck and accidentally stepped on one?

In hindsight, their decision to drop landmines was definitely a wise one.

After stepping on two landmines in a row, the remaining enemy armored vehicles dared not move at all!

Damn it, they didn't know exactly how big a minefield the enemy had laid here, but they certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly at a time like this.

They might rush forward and not step on many landmines, and the losses they suffer might not be significant, but no one dares to do so.

Compared to direct-kill mines, the biggest advantage of this type of mine is actually restricting the movement of the enemy.

Not everyone is so reckless as to charge headlong into a minefield. When they hesitate to make any moves, it creates an opportunity for other defending forces.

"Now's the time! Charge!"

Upon seeing that all the enemy's armored vehicles had stopped, Andrei suddenly shouted to the soldiers around him.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a red signal flare suddenly rising, one Santa Samon tank after another suddenly drove out of the woods, roaring towards the enemy forces in the distance.

Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat!
The continuous machine gun fire quickly wiped out a group of enemy infantry accompanying the mechs. At the same time, several 75mm shells destroyed two more enemy mechs.

This sudden ambush startled the Black Hawk armored forces, who were still in a stalemate.

Many armored vehicles wanted to move, but then they suddenly remembered that there were countless landmines buried in the vicinity!

"Fight back! Fight back now! There's an ambush here!"

In the communications channel, the commander of the armored battalion roared orders to the others, while the commander of another mechanized infantry battalion was already urging his soldiers to pick up their anti-tank rifles.

They didn't know how thick the armor of the enemy's armored vehicle was, but they were confident that their artillery could definitely penetrate it, as long as they got used to its low chassis.

This is really weird. Could this be the secret weapon that the Cambrian Empire has been hiding all along?
This was the first time they had ever seen armored vehicles without mechanical legs, and they were stunned by these mobile iron coffins, wondering what the enemy was all about.

Under the continuous shelling, both sides suffered losses, with Black Hawk Empire armored vehicles being destroyed frequently, and Saint-Samon tanks being taken down by the enemy. However, overall, Andrei's side still held the advantage, achieving a very good exchange ratio: for every three enemy armored vehicles lost, they would only lose one Saint-Samon tank.

In terms of actual performance, Andrei felt that the Fearless Mech was no worse than the Saint-Samon Tank, and was even better than the Saint-Samon Tank.

Judging from the frontal armor, the Dreadnought's frontal armor is thicker. The Dreadnought's main gun is also superior to the Saint Samon's 75mm gun, whose exaggeratedly long 75mm barrel has stronger penetrating power than Saint Samon's 75mm gun.

As for mobility... the Dauntless mech has already fully demonstrated its powerful mobility in previous wars. When this thing runs on its two long legs, its speed is simply astonishing.

However, the current situation is very awkward for the Black Hawk Empire's armored forces, because they cannot make full use of these advantages.

Although on paper they have the advantage in armor and firepower, the actual combat situation is a different story.

They can both penetrate each other's armor, so that advantage is essentially negated. In comparison, the main gun of the Saint-Samon has an incredibly fast reload speed!
As for mobility, although Saint Samon's mobility is not as good as the Dreadnoughts, their mobility is restricted by the landmines, so they can only stay in place and stand still to output damage.

At least before they went all out, these guys didn't dare to run around recklessly. Who knows if they would be taken out by landmines before they were even shot down by the enemy's main guns if they took a few steps to the side?

However, none of this is the biggest reason for the gap between the two sides. The biggest gap lies in their respective survival capabilities.

The Fearless Mech is a two-person controllable mech. Compared to the Saint-Shamon, it is smaller and more compact, but this also means that once it is penetrated by the enemy's main cannon, it is basically finished.

Putting aside the actual probability of being hit by the ammunition rack, the sheer density of personnel inside makes it virtually impossible for the Dauntless mech to survive once it is penetrated.

However, for players, riding in tanks doesn't seem to have this problem!

A Saint-Chamon tank can carry several players. Even if a player is killed, as long as one person survives, the tank will not be affected and can be instantly switched to the main position.

Furthermore, the larger interior space makes the San Chamon tank more difficult for the enemy to hit its ammunition depot, engine, and other critical parts, and even if it is hit by a shot, it is difficult to be destroyed instantly.

In addition, the tireless mechanics working behind the tank made the Saint-Samon tank extremely survivable at this moment, even unbelievably so!

More than one Black Hawk Empire armored soldier has noticed that even though they hit the enemy tank with a single shot, the metal monster instantly regenerates!
Damn it! The enemy's armored vehicles are practically alive; they can even heal themselves!

How are they supposed to fight this thing? It's impossible to kill!

"Retreat! Retreat immediately! Return along the original route as quickly as possible, do not take any other route!"

"Their armored vehicles are strange; we must retreat immediately!"

As he watched his armored battalion's mechs being destroyed one after another by the enemy, the battalion commander's expression grew increasingly grim.

In the end, he couldn't hold back and gave the order to retreat, because in his view, there was not much chance of winning now, and if they didn't retreat, they would all probably perish here!
But just then, a new shell suddenly came flying from behind them.
