Chapter 945 Hurricane Chariot
Fortunately, after a period of time, about two platoons of reinforcements arrived. They were logistics maintenance personnel who escaped from a repair boat. They had 3 multi-purpose boarding vehicles and could carry out light fire cover and small-scale engineering operations. { <[net
The Master Chief on the halberd-class light cruiser led his team members to dig trenches on the edge of the depression to snipe at the scattered Monya soldiers, and those logistics maintenance personnel used multi-purpose boarding vehicles and engineering armor to dismantle the battleship hangar with all their strength so that It can release the ground vehicles and various aircraft in it to help the Covenant Navy win this ground battle.
The black rock formations on the surface of the wandering planet are very strange. They can not only shield the spectrum of the internal elements, but also absorb the electromagnetic waves floating in the environment of the planet to the maximum. This seriously interferes with ordinary radar and radio communication equipment, and even the quantum communicator of the battleship. It also loses its effectiveness under the influence of the violently fluctuating magnetic and gravitational fields of the wandering planet.
Fortunately, the laser transmission equipment based on optical signals can still operate, and a ground communication network can be established by setting up laser relay stations to integrate one's own combat forces, share information, and complement each other's advantages, instead of fighting each other like a mess.
If you want to set up a laser relay station to form a large-scale communication network, the best way is to launch a ship-borne military satellite to help the survivors of each ship get in touch. Unfortunately, the rogue planet is very special, and its weird gravitational field and gravitational disorder zone make this idea come to naught.
Since military satellites cannot be launched into space, the only way left is to fly communication drones and electronic warfare aircraft as mobile relay stations to support the entire communication network.
Affected by the gravitational turbulence, many large ships of the 42nd Fleet, the 87th Fleet, cruisers and above were destroyed, turned into broken wreckage and disappeared in space, or fell to the ground and broke into fragments. Vehicles will naturally not have good results. The few large ships that were not visited by the gravitational turbulence, because they could not balance the suddenly weakened gravity, could not make an emergency landing in a proper posture, and collided with the ground causing great damage.
There are very few battleships with a relatively complete hull like the battle halberd-class light cruiser numbered 42-3o1J in the center of the depression. However, some destroyers and frigates have limited internal space and relatively small hangars, so naturally the aircraft for different purposes will not be stored. Many, plus some damage during the forced landing, very few can be used as relay station components for laser communication networks.
42-3o1J is a cruiser, and its hangar capacity is much higher than that of destroyers and frigates. There are a lot of aircraft that can be used as communication relay stations. In addition, the driver operates properly, and the loss caused by the forced landing process is small. If Being able to open the hangar and put these aircraft into the air will form an immeasurable strategic advantage.
Therefore, 42-3o1J cannot be lost, even if you do your best, you must hold the position to ensure that the logistics maintenance personnel have enough time to liberate the aircraft and ground vehicles in the hangar. As for whether it is possible to leave this planet, and how to leave this planet,
That is a question that needs to be considered after defeating the opponent.
The crew of 42-3o1J worked very hard, even the captain and deputy captain, ship officer, communication team, driver... These bridge staff all took up weapons and relied on the bunkers and trenches around the battleship to snipe the incoming land.
At the beginning, there were only sporadic and small groups of troops from the Monya Navy, and 42-3o1J existed, and then launched an attack on the Covenant Navy soldiers.
Naturally, this kind of attack was unable to break through the defense line set up by the crew of 42-3o1J, they were firmly blocked from the circle, unable to take a step forward. However, with the passage of time, especially when a wasp reconnaissance drone produced by the Monya Empire flew over the battlefield, more and more members of the Monya Navy's 6th fighters and armored personnel carriers entered the 42-3o1J forced landing area, and the battleship itself and The peripheral defense launched a tide-like offensive.
The Nightmare sailed through the crater, and when it approached the battle zone, there were more tanks and long-range artillery-level heavy weapons on the ridges along the edge of several nearby volcanic craters to cooperate with the front-line mechanized infantry to move forward.
The cutting operation of the 42-3o1J hangar has not been completed, and the infantry in the rock mass and trenches alone cannot resist the 6th Marines of the Mengya Navy and the saber-toothed tiger multi-functional armed personnel carrier attacking from a high position.
The firepower bombardment of the Jaguar light tank and the reinforced Rhinoceros heavy tank had already overwhelmed the crew members of 42-3o1J. To make matters worse, 4 Phantom armed shuttles quickly attacked from the core of the battle zone, dropping a large number of them in the vicinity of the battleship. HE bombs.
Anyone can see that the 6th team of the Monya Navy has sensed their plan and launched a joint attack. However, judging from the fact that the 4 Phantom armed shuttles did not bomb the 42-3o1J hull, they are probably in the hangar Those ground vehicles and aircraft ideas.
Colonel Bunian Clive, the captain of the Warhalberd-class light cruiser, was very anxious. Faced with the enemy's increasingly fierce offensive, more than half of his crew members were killed in battle. Even his deputy, Lu Maoxue, died in the bombing of the Phantom armed shuttle. Down.
Behind him, Master Chief Faulkner Lauber fell in a pool of blood, his right leg was blown apart by a missile from a saber-toothed tiger-class multi-purpose armored personnel carrier. If the emergency procedures of the Lancers' power armor were not activated in time, he might have already returned to his soul. Qingming.
There was only one person left in the medical class, and there were only a few pieces of medical gel left in the medicine box, and empty injections with different labels were thrown everywhere.
what to do? Facing the approaching enemy forces, they had no chance. Even if the people in the logistics maintenance department open the hangar and remove those obstacles, so what? It just fell into the hands of the enemy and became a tool for the other party to slaughter their own compatriots.
Bunian Clive picked up the booster antenna half buried in the sand with trembling hands, and slowly inserted it into the accessory device interface of the Lancer II power armor.
It was just a booster antenna, used to strengthen the signal, and a communication tool to get in touch with the logistics and maintenance personnel in the hangar on the starboard side of 42-3o1J not far away. It was very light and small. But such a small object was as heavy as a hill in his hand.
It wasn't the booster antenna that was heavy, it was what he was about to say next that was heavy.
He wants the logistics and maintenance personnel to blow up the ground vehicles and aircraft in the hangar that can change the trend of this ground war, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy.
It can be seen from the enemy's ability to separate the Phantom armed shuttle and the Wasp drone to the edge of the theater to carry out operations. The combat resources available to the 6th battle team of the Monya Navy are far higher than those of the 6th team of the Star Alliance Navy. He does not want to blow up those weapons. He wants to save his comrades, but he knows better than anyone else that this is an extravagant wish and wishful thinking, and the reality will not change because of what he wants, and the 6th Star Alliance Marine Corps is very likely to lose this ground war.
The price of losing the war...is death, the annihilation of the entire army.
Before that, though, he might be dead. Together with Master Chief Faulkner Lauber, and the only 20 crew members around him, they stained this dark area red with blood.
Wandering planets have been traveling alone in the universe, without satellites, and without being illuminated by strong light, the entire surface can be described as pitch black, and even the night vision system of the power armor is difficult to clearly distinguish the environment and objects in the distance.
Faulkner Lauber told the medical soldiers in a weak voice to leave him alone and go to see if the newly injured crew members in front were still alive. Bunian Clive took one last look at the one-horned rhinoceros that was continuously swallowing flames on the opposite ridge, and sighed heavily.
He couldn't see further away, so he naturally didn't know that above the ridge, a frigate-class battleship was approaching the battle zone without a sound.
Inside the Nightmare, Tang Fang frowned looking at the picture on the big screen, then turned his head and looked behind him, "Are you ready?"
Walton put away those complicated emotions, nodded and said, "I know what to do."
"Go and be safe."
Walton nodded and turned away from the bridge.
When I was young, a special operations transport ship, 2 medical transport planes, and 2 Banshee fighter jets left behind the Nightmare and flew towards the depression where 42-3o1J made an emergency landing.
Walton was sitting in the special operations transport ship, Tang Fang and Aros did not stop, and continued to enter the core area of the entire theater.
42-301J may have great strategic significance and play a vital role for the Covenant Navy, but in Tang Fang's view, this is only a corner of the entire theater. His goal is to rescue the senior management of the 42nd Fleet or the 87th Fleet, gain command, and at the same time destroy the command system of the Monya Navy 6 Squadron, ending this meaningless war.
The special operations transport ship did not land directly into the area where Bunyan Clive and the others were located, but landed extremely quickly to the area in front of the Jaguar light tank and the Rhinoceros heavy tank.
Although the scope of the battlefield is not large, it can be said to be clear at a glance if it is placed in an ordinary planetary environment. A special operations transport can be invisible, but it can never be silent when it drops vehicles and personnel on the ground.
It’s just that the ground environment of the wandering planet is too special, until 2 Hurricane chariots, 2 Goliath armed robots landed on the ground, and the ridge area focused on bombing the 2 Jaguar light tanks and 1 Horn in the position where Bunian Clive was located. Even the rhinoceros heavy tanks did not notice that a group of unexpected guests suddenly appeared on the middle battlefield.
In the leader's Hurricane Chariot, Walton moved his hands, held the joystick in the cab, and looked up at the target position and various scan values marked by the display system.
"Come on, let me see how good you are."
He held the joystick, stepped on the accelerator, and the four sets of tracks of the Hurricane Chariot chassis retreated at an extremely fast speed. The body crushed countless gravel and kicked up not heavy dust. There were traces of uneven anti-slip ribs on the originally flat ground.
"It's not bad, at least it's more comfortable than the Hellion Chariot." Walton nodded approvingly, and pressed a few buttons on the console with his right hand, which showed that the array of red triangle marks in the center of the system screen shrank toward the center, and the night vision lens kept showing The horned rhino heavy tank and the Jaguar light tank, which spewed a large cloud of flames, were locked by the vehicle radar.
In the next second, the red center indicator light of the fire button on the top of the joystick lights up.
Several waves of air and clouds of smoke were ejected from the left and right typhoon missile compartments of the cockpit of the Hurricane Chariot. The five typhoon missiles rose from the bottom of the ridge with surging light and fire, and went obliquely upwards, nailing the Jaguar light tank and the one-horned rhino accurately. The positions where the heavy tanks were located exploded into balls of rapidly expanding flames.
The sound of the explosion spread to the surroundings, and the rocks splashed like rain. The Rhinoceros heavy tank actually ate a typhoon missile, and the entire turret was almost blown to pieces, leaving only the overturned scarred metal chassis, slanted Inserted in a pile of rubble.
The fate of the two Jaguar light tanks was even more tragic. The hill where they were located was almost flattened. The body of the Jaguar light tank in front was torn apart by the simultaneous explosion and implosion, and the wreckage of the car body was flying everywhere. The front of the Jaguar light tank behind was torn open, flames and shrapnel poured into the cockpit, the commander and gunner were directly incinerated by the high temperature, the shock wave blew the entire vehicle away, and rolled down the inner slope of the ridge.
This is not the first time Walton has driven the Hurricane Chariot. Tang Fang asked him to practice before, and this is the first time he has driven the Hurricane Chariot in actual combat. The power of the typhoon missile was beyond his expectations, not weaker than the twin plasma cannons of the siege tank, and even more flexible in terms of flexibility.
You must know that he did not activate the laser locking system of the Hurricane, but only turned on the enemy radar. In addition to long-range bombing of ground units, Typhoon missiles can also be used to deal with air targets.
Perhaps the speed of the Hurricane Chariot is slightly slower than that of the Hellfire Chariot, but it is far from comparable to the latter in terms of all-terrain suitability and combat effectiveness. Of course, the Hellion Chariot can be transformed into a Firebat, which is a second-to-none infantry killer, while the Hurricane Chariot is an all-round vehicle, which can be used not only for air defense, but also for dealing with heavy mechanical units on the ground. It is the most suitable choice for those who have heavy weapons like the Thor Siege Mech, and those who regret that light and fast vehicles such as the Vulture Chariot and Hellion Chariot do not have powerful weapons.
The power of the typhoon missile is not low, almost killing two Jaguar light tanks and one horned rhino heavy tank on the ridge almost in one encounter, killing all the crew inside. There is no doubt that this is something to be happy about, but Walton can't be happy, because those people inside are all his compatriots, and they are all who he used to be.
But he had to do it again. Without killing them, there is no way to save those people in the hollow.
He didn't feel sad for too long. After all, he was no longer young and naive. He knew that no matter how much he sighed, no matter how sad he was, he couldn't change the facts in front of him. Only by destroying the tyranny of the Stewart family as soon as possible can more young people be avoided because of the greed of the nobles. and deceit to lay down their precious lives.
Another Hurricane tank had already detoured to another high ground not far away before he shot, and launched an attack on the one-horned rhinoceros heavy tank and the saber-toothed tiger A3 short-range missile vehicle above.
