The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 152 So... so this car has been driving backwards all along?
The whistling sound was all too familiar to the armored soldiers; it was clearly the sound of a shell slicing through the air before hitting the ground!
But where did this shelling come from? How come they didn't spot any artillery nearby?
Before they could think it through, a barrage of shells rained down around the tank, causing a series of explosions.

Although these explosions appear to have been caused by howitzers, such a dense barrage of explosions would have been enough to destroy a Dreadnought mech!

Although it wasn't directly hit, the people inside the mech were still shaken and disoriented by the explosion, and the mech itself lost its balance and crashed to the ground with a bang.

No sooner had it fallen than a grenade launcher struck the back of the mech, accompanied by a massive explosion that instantly shattered the entire Dauntless mech into pieces.

Surprisingly, the Saint-Saint-Baptiste tank was not destroyed despite the barrage of shells and was still able to move!

The reason is simple: not a single shell landed directly on the San Chamon tank; all the shells seemed to have just avoided the tank and instead hit the side of it.

Although the exploding shells and flying debris caused some damage to the tank, overall, none of the damage was fatal.

Unfortunately, the mechanic who had been repairing the tank was killed by the sudden artillery barrage.

At that moment, the repairman was busy respawning at a nearby spawn point while cursing their unsportsmanlike artillery fire in the chat, feeling that his teammate was really bad.

"...Well, we're driving a silly pigeon after all, shouldn't we have expected this?"

One player scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

The group deliberately chose the pigeon, so they must be planning to use this tank for shelling. Otherwise, why would they choose this model of the Saint-Saint-Baptiste?
"Damn it, take cover! Watch out for enemy artillery!"

The other Dauntless mechs in the vicinity did not witness the tank releasing pigeons, and even if they had, they would never have believed that the shelling was caused by pigeons.

According to the battlefield CG storyline, this pigeon was used to transmit the coordinates of the tanks to the artillery positions behind the lines, so that they could be destroyed together with the enemy.

However, in the game, as soon as the pigeon is released, a subspace bombardment will arrive in an instant. It is completely unknown where these shells come from. It can only be described as a subspace effect!
If we consider the time frame, even if the cannons were fired the instant the pigeons flew away, the shells still wouldn't arrive that quickly, since it takes some time for the shells to travel through the air!

They didn't know where the shelling came from, but they certainly didn't want to be bombarded by this barrage of howitzers.

Judging from the number of shells that exploded around the iron coffin, they knew that the artillery fire must have been very intense, and there must have been at least a regiment of artillery firing at them from the vicinity.
However, after they stopped their mechs and paused for a few seconds, they suddenly realized that something was wrong with the shelling!

Was it because the enemy artillery was too accurate, or because the enemy artillerymen were insane, firing at the same point regardless of who was firing?

Normally, shouldn't a large number of shells fall continuously, pushing the firepower forward like waves?
Confused about the sudden artillery barrage, the Fearless mechs kept a close watch on the surrounding area while continuing their charge towards the enemy.

Then... he encountered the enemy's tactic of releasing pigeons to fire cannons once again. The moment the pigeons were released, he was bombarded by cannonballs!

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Fearless mechs' pursuit of the Chrysanthemum Car was also going very poorly.

At first, they didn't understand the design of this armored vehicle and thought the rotating turret in front was the front of the vehicle. They didn't know how the driver inside could operate the cannon while driving. However, when they caught up with the armored vehicle with bayonets in hand, ready to stab it, they realized that something was wrong.

What's going on? How come this armored vehicle is reversing faster than it's driving forward?

They thought the armored vehicle wouldn't be very fast, but in fact, they found that their mechs couldn't keep up with it!

Even such a small difference in speed can lead to vastly different outcomes.

As the chrysanthemum-shaped vehicle moved forward, constantly dodging the pursuers behind it, it used the turret at the rear to keep firing at the enemy, much like a mounted archer firing backhand shots while retreating.

Under this kite-flying tactic, a single Chrysanthemum vehicle managed to take down three enemy Dauntless mechs in a row!
"No, we can't keep chasing like this, these armored vehicles are poisonous!"

"Stop playing with bayonets. I knew they were unreliable. Besides being able to charge at some slow-moving enemy weapons, what else can these things do?"

"Damn it, how did these drivers train their skills? Did they just drive in reverse the whole time?"

It wasn't until then that the other Black Hawk Empire armored soldiers realized that the Chrysanthemum Corps in front of them actually had its turrets on its rear end!
It's normal for the turret to be located at the rear, but the opponent's operating mode is very abnormal!
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't this kind of vehicle drive up quickly, then maneuver sideways and rotate the turret to fire to the side?

So how did they manage to drive the car so nimbly while driving it in reverse all the way?

Clearly, they don't understand what a player is.

For a normal, experienced driver, reversing and maneuvering the car this nimbly would be extremely difficult, but for players, this kind of maneuver is already second nature!

Realizing that the bayonets on their mechs were unreliable, the Black Hawk Empire's armored soldiers switched to their main cannons once again and began exchanging fire with the enemy.

Unfortunately, even in a direct confrontation, they didn't have any advantage!

Especially when they were busy exchanging fire, there were always small shells or strange shells that looked like radishes that would suddenly come at them and inexplicably penetrate their armor.

In the midst of the chaotic battle with the enemy, it wasn't just tanks that charged forward; infantry were also advancing.

Whether using an AT cannon or a radish launcher, the player's anti-armor capabilities are top-notch!

Perhaps the AT guns couldn't penetrate the frontal armor of the enemy's Dauntless mech, but in such a chaotic battle, the enemy had long since stopped caring about whether it was frontal or not.

Once the enemy exposes the weak side armor, the AT cannon can immediately become a deadly weapon!
