Chapter 60 Be a decent human being!
Beep...beep...beep...
The pneumatic decelerator is inflated and deployed, and the deceleration rotors deploy simultaneously, working together to slow down, reduce spin, orient, and stabilize the bullet, adjusting its attitude. At the same time, the thermal battery activates, beginning to charge and power the electronic system.
Immediately afterwards, the sensor system was ejected from the projectile and began to detect and identify the target.
The central controller initiates scanning by controlling each sensor and disengages the final safety device from the warhead.
When the sensor first scanned the purple-clad, orbment-equipped mech, it reported the target information to the central controller...
The second scan of the target compares the target's sensitive data with the specific target's feature values...
The central controller quickly identified these purple mechs as the targets and issued an attack command!
The terminally guided missile was activated, the explosive charge detonated, and the warhead made of special metal tantalum was launched. Under the acceleration of gravity, it crashed into the orbment-equipped mech painted in purple at a speed of nearly 3000 meters per second.
Tantalum is twice as heavy as copper, and the kinetic energy generated when it hits the mech instantly turns it into a pile of shattered parts.
The entire mercenary squad was thrown into chaos when their teammates were killed before they even saw the enemy.
"Everyone be careful, the attack is coming from the sky!"
After saying that, the bald man crossed his axes above his head to block the attack. The other hunters followed suit, raising their shields above the mechs to defend against attacks from the air.
However, some of the hunters wielding two-handed weapons were going crazy...
Boom!
With a muffled thud, the tantalum warhead struck the shield. The shield, which could normally withstand the bombardment of ordinary orbal vehicles, was instantly pierced. The enormous kinetic energy directly tore off the mech's fragile joints, and the entire severed arm, connected to the shield, flew away.
After all, while mechs look cool, joint strength remains an unavoidable issue.
"Scatter! Don't stop here!"
The bald man took the lead in piloting his mech forward, while some of the hunters retreated.
The hunters running forward were fine, but those who retreated were immediately targeted by 155mm guided shells, which, guided by the Wing Loong drones, accurately struck the area around the mechs.
If a mech hit by a terminally guided munition still has a chance of survival, then a mech within the kill radius of the GP-1 155mm laser-guided cannon shell will instantly turn to ashes...
The flames instantly engulfed the mech, tearing it into fragments of varying sizes that flew everywhere, hitting other mechs and making crackling sounds.
After the explosion, a shallow crater appeared in the ground, and inside the crater lay twisted and mangled mech wreckage...
In the command center, Zhou Mingrui's lips twitched... Good heavens, the clown was actually himself.
Without radar, infrared, and optical stealth capabilities, mechs are basically sitting ducks on plains. They're only really useful in the complex battlefield environments of urban warfare.
After accurately knocking out several mechs that were trying to retreat, the 155mm howitzer ceased firing.
"Send the army aviation up! Armored groups, prepare..." the commander said coldly.
Zhou Mingrui seemed to understand something. These thirty mechs, without combat system support, shields, or even magic particles, had mediocre performance... They were just a matter of a few rounds of firepower against them.
Since these mechs haven't been completely eliminated, the intention is to collect data on the weapon performance of the local forces as a precaution.
After all, Shangqiu is an "outsider force" in the deep sea, and it is inevitable that it will have some friction with local forces in the process of development.
There are serious "cognitive differences" between the two sides. Even if China tries its best to avoid conflict, the situation will inevitably deteriorate. Some local forces, like India, may feel they have the upper hand again and launch an attack...
After all, you need real skills to succeed in this world!
On the plains.
Almost all the surviving Hunter mechs were damaged, and the gay purple paint job had lost its former imposing presence, while the bald man's red mech was in slightly better condition.
"damn it!"
The bald man stared at the destroyed mech with a grim expression, his vigilance at its highest.
However, these mechs were exceptionally clear to the Z-10 attack helicopter three kilometers away. The infrared night vision targeting device then selected a lucky mech and locked onto it.
The weapons officer activated the HJ-8 anti-tank missiles suspended on the wings. As for why they didn't use more advanced anti-tank missiles like the AKD-10 or Blue Arrow 7, it was obviously because of their cost-effectiveness!
The new anti-tank missiles are already somewhat overkill, so it's better to use a more cost-effective weapon like the HJ-8. It also helps to clear out inventory, as destroying expired weapons costs a lot of money. Weapons that can be fired are profitable.
The HJ-8 missile rocket engine ignited, and it flew straight toward the target pinned by the sight, blasting the entire mech into pieces with a deafening roar.
Then, it opened fire on another lucky mech with the 23mm chain automatic cannon mounted under the nose.
Boom boom boom!
In the light spot probe, the cannon shells fired by the machine gun were like small balls of light, sliding in parabolic arcs as they hit a mech, smashing its legs to pieces. The mech, having lost the support of one leg, fell to the side with a thud.
Just as the Z-10 helicopter was transferring its 23mm cannon to another mech, it became clear that the Juggernauts had realized that their attackers were in the air and raised their shields.
The 23mm shell struck the metal shield of unknown material, bursting into a dazzling "flame" in infrared vision. The 23mm machine gun failed to penetrate the shield.
The weapons officer was somewhat surprised and immediately realized that the shield's material might be somewhat special!
No problem, they immediately activated the rockets in the seven-tube rocket pod.
The rockets in the rocket pod were all unleashed in less than 10 seconds... Two hours of loading, 10 seconds of fun.
Under the onslaught of eight Z-10 attack helicopters, the mechs were picked off one after another. Hunted down by the attack helicopters, the mechs, armed with melee weapons, were utterly powerless to resist. The most frustrated were the J-16s in the sky, which had barely fired a shot since entering the battlefield and could only watch helplessly as their friendly forces were slaughtered.
The bald man stared with bloodshot eyes as he watched the Hunter mechs around him being destroyed one after another. The Empire's strongest weapon was like a lamb to the slaughter here.
The frustrating thing is that we didn't even see the enemy's shadow before 80% of them were wiped out!
The remaining six mechs were almost completely unable to complete the tasks assigned by the adults, and as for the group of hunters who were feigning an attack on the other side, it was obvious that they had already been wiped out.
"Continue the attack... or retreat?"
Chapter 61 Smoothbore 125
As the bald man was contemplating whether to attack or retreat, he suddenly felt the entire earth tremble.
"This is?!"
Looking up, he saw the tank appear in his field of vision through the image collected by the "orthogonal optical sensor" on the mech's head.
One after another, tanks that differed somewhat from the Imperial tanks were rapidly charging towards them.
"It's finally here!"
A ferocious smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face. The hunters, who had been pent up for so long, finally had an outlet for their frustration. They piloted their mechs and charged towards the oncoming armored formation.
The surviving mechs were undoubtedly all carrying shields; those who chose to use dual weapons to show off were all wiped out after several rounds of fire.
The Jaegers used standard anti-tank tactics, tilting their shields in front to increase the chance of ricochets.
The mech's weapons were concealed behind its shields, and its legs moved alternately forward as it charged towards the armored formation on the ground.
Based on past experience with anti-tank warfare, from entering the tank's firing range to close-range engagement, one will be bombarded by 2-3 rounds of orbment cannon fire. As long as one uses serpentine movement and the assistance of a shield, one can successfully pass through this dangerous area.
Once the mech gets close enough to the tank, its agility will allow it to unleash a massacre.
The Type 99A main battle tank was traveling at an off-road speed of 50 km/h on the plains, and the gunner's lips twitched slightly.
What did he see? A target with a terrifyingly large frontal projection was hurtling straight toward the 99A...
The automatic loader inserts a 125mm discarding sabot finned submunition into the gun barrel and rotates the muzzle to lock onto the running humanoid target.
The two-way muzzle stabilizer is activated, firmly locking onto the target that is rushing straight towards it.
boom!
The 125mm smoothbore cannon roared as the armor-piercing discarding sabot projectile flew out of the barrel. After exiting the barrel, the sabot detached automatically due to resistance, and the projectile continued to fly along the direction of the barrel.
Like a sharp arrow, the tungsten carbide armor-piercing projectile flew toward the target at a speed of 2000 m/s.
The tungsten carbide armor-piercing projectile, as fine as a needle, struck the mech's shield. Without reactive armor, the shield relied entirely on its own rigidity to defend against the attack.
The shield was instantly pierced by the thin armor-piercing projectile, and the next second it pierced the cockpit hidden behind the shield. The pilot was churned into mincemeat by the kinetic energy carried by the armor-piercing projectile and the shock wave that generated it, and was evenly pasted on the cockpit walls.
Like a human without a soul, the mech that lost its pilot ran forward a few steps before kneeling on the ground. Its flesh and blood, drawn by gravity, dripped onto the ground through a cross-shaped opening.
"How could this be?!"
The bald man's eyes widened. He was attacked at this distance?! Even farther than the range of an Imperial tank!
In order to survive, the remaining mechs used serpentine maneuvers to try to minimize the possibility of being attacked, while heading towards armored cluster A.
Just like a sniper's roll call, one shot can take down one mech. Against a 125mm glide vehicle, it can be penetrated with a single shot.
"what!!!"
The bald man, his face contorted with bulging veins, roared and charged toward the nearest tank, determined to take someone down with him even if he were to die!
Then he discovered in despair that these vehicles were faster than his special-equipped orbment mech. No matter how he rushed over, the distance between them not only did not decrease, but continued to increase.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for the orbal gun he had looked down upon.
Before the 99A could even fire, the 04A infantry fighting vehicles that were moving alongside it opened fire.
You can't just eat the meat and not even get the soup, right? The 30mm autocannons on the four 04A tanks opened fire, 30mm bullets sweeping towards the mechs one after another.
Puff puff puff...
A 30mm armor-piercing discarding sabot round swept across the red mech, piercing the armor and damaging the internal structure. Holes appeared on the main body of the mech, with the torso being the primary target.
A 30mm discarding sabot round lost its static stability after penetrating the mech's armor, tumbling and slamming into the bald man's arm. The kinetic energy it carried instantly shattered his arm, leaving bone fragments mixed with shredded muscle and skin, hanging on his shoulder by a thin layer of skin.
"what!"
The bald man screamed, then his scream was cut short. The shattered bullet, carrying kinetic energy that the body couldn't withstand, turned the bald man into minced meat...
The red-colored orbal mech slowly knelt on the ground, losing its firepower.
The attacking hunters were all wiped out. In the pterosaur's observation footage, landmines could be seen being triggered from time to time... It seems that a few lucky ones still wanted to escape.
"Clean up the battlefield and see if anyone is still alive..."
"Commander, the family residence has been attacked by unidentified armed men! We are in engagement!"
"what?!"
...........
Outside the family residence.
More than a dozen expressionless hunters wore cloaks made of the leather of a special wild beast from Mingrui Star. This beast was extremely rare, and the cloaks made of its hide could conceal their presence (infrared detection) and provided them with a certain degree of camouflage.
The team leader in charge of the mission lay prone on a high ground to the side, using his microscopic vision to examine the map provided by the middle-aged man. After confirming it several times, he determined that the building in front of him was the location where the little thing was hiding.
