As soon as the huge mobile base broke out of the smoke, it suddenly stopped. The weapon towers that were aimed directly at the fortress and had sufficient range opened fire almost simultaneously. The recoil brought the entire mobile fortress to a halt. As Chu Jun returned, he turned back the power. When it was increased to the maximum, the fortress slowly moved forward.
Inside the Jolly Roger's forward base, before the soldiers guarding the turret could see clearly what was coming out of the thick fog, the turret was already submerged in the explosion's fire waves and gunpowder smoke.
The first batch of bullets hit the base wall almost simultaneously, completely covering the entire section of the wall, and the top of the wall was completely engulfed in a sea of flames. Although the distance is far and the test body also has errors, plus or minus a few meters is still barely acceptable.
In the fortress command building, the commander was also stunned by the sudden attack, and for a moment he forgot to give the order to counterattack. In fact, even if he wanted to counterattack, he couldn't find the target at the moment. He could only wait for the fire and gunpowder smoke at the top of the city wall to disperse a little before he could observe the enemy's situation.
He waited like this for a full minute.
In just this minute, the mobile base of the test object squirmed forward 500 meters. Although the forward base is still several thousand meters away, the increase in accuracy is obvious. As the mobile base suffered another setback, the top of the walls of the Jolly Roger Fortress was once again flooded by explosions.
"Did you see anything clearly? Where is the target?" the commander roared.
"No, we can almost see it." The adjutant next to him turned pale with nervousness.
"Launch drones and launch reconnaissance missiles!" the commander was furious.
The adjutant immediately rushed to the console on one side. He moved quickly, his fingertips flying on the virtual screen like playing a piano. In just two or three minutes, he launched all four large reconnaissance drones and launched two reconnaissance missiles at the same time.
"Waste! What's the use of launching now?" At this moment, the commander finally caught a glimpse of the attacker's true face in the gap covered by artillery fire.
At a glance, all one can see is that it looks like a huge but ugly metal monster. The ladder-type layout retreating layer by layer has no sense of beauty at all. It is covered with various turrets, as if the multi-turret divine cult has been possessed and resurrected. . It's a miracle that such a small mountain-like thing is still rolling forward and not falling apart.
The commander immediately locked onto the target and pressed the rapid-fire destruction mode.
All the turrets on the outer wall of the advancing fortress received the order, and the tops of the turrets rose, revealing the dark firing holes, and automatically pointed in the direction of the mobile base.
There is no reason why we can't hit such a big target. The commander believed that no matter how big the guy was, he couldn't withstand the destruction of six rapid-fire cannons with a rate of fire exceeding 200 in this direction. It only takes a minute, no, 30 seconds, for the fortress's firepower to tear this ugly behemoth apart.
However, the rapid-fire cannon with the fastest response had just locked onto the target, and several blazing warheads were thrown into the newly exposed shooting hole of the turret one after another!
After a series of melancholy explosions, the six turrets on the screen in front of the commander were all marked in red and lost contact. In fact, there is no need to observe. From the window, you can see that the tops of the six turrets have blossomed, and the top armor of two turrets has even flown hundreds of meters away. In a solid, confined space, the power of the explosion is incredibly amplified.
On the side screen, the moment just now was played back.
This was an impact captured by a still-functioning monitoring point. Although the picture was blurry, a series of small black dots could still be seen accurately flying into the turret's firing port.
"The enemy's shells hit the firing port of our turret?" the commander couldn't believe it.
The exteriors of these urban defense turrets such as the Jolly Roger are protected by a layer of armor. They rise when fired, exposing the firing hole at the front, and the turret shoots out from the firing hole. The launch hole is just an opening half a meter square. It can be hit like this. Not one shot, but a series?
The officer next to him could hardly believe his eyes and said, "The ballistic parabola is so obvious, are you blind?"
"parabola!"
The commander was instantly reminded and immediately mobilized turrets in other areas and sent the location information of the mobile base. All the turrets began to rotate except for the two turrets whose firing paths were blocked.
However, at this moment, another hail of bullets fell. This time, the strings of small black dots were not directly inserted into the launch hole, but almost connected in a line, and they all hit the top cover of the turret. The continuous explosions instantly flooded all the turrets, even the two unmoving turrets.
The explosion did not explode the upper armor of the turret, but the explosion points were too concentrated, which put great pressure on the automatic lifting system of the turret. On the commander's screen, most of the turrets had mechanical failures, indicating that they could not take off or land, and more than half of the turrets could not even rotate.
The malfunctioning turret launcher is automatically locked to avoid the risk of explosion.
Before the commander could have any luck, another string of shells fell, and this time all the turrets lit up warning lights indicating mechanical failure.
The commander's despair had just spread when the third rain of bullets struck, once again hitting every turret with precision.
The commander closed his eyes in pain. With the naked eye, he could see that the closest turret had been distorted by the explosion. The inside must be a mess and it would be useless.
He calmed down, slowly opened his eyes, grabbed the pistol on the table, and was about to make the final push when a loud voice suddenly sounded over the fortress: "Jack, are you still at the command post?"
The commander was shocked. He knew this voice all too well.
The voice sounded again, "I am Colonel Cromar, Jack's good friend, and your former deputy commander. Soldiers, yes, I am in the mobile base outside now, and I am currently working for Agent Mr. Chu. And There are nearly 1,500 colleagues with me, and you should know many of them. I think what General Lightner told you is that they are already on the death list, right?"
Croma paused and his voice rose a lot: "No! We didn't die, we were just abandoned! When the battle was at its fiercest, Leitner grabbed the VIP he was scheduled to save, yes, that's right The little princess of the Winton family then retreated and left us there to die! At that time, the surrounding area was overwhelmingly filled with beasts!"
All the soldiers shuddered subconsciously. They are not very afraid of death, but no one wants to be eaten alive by a war beast.
Throwing injured warriors into the herd of war beasts is an act that fills people with rage whenever they hear of it.
Croma continued: "We were not injured, most of them had only minor injuries. We only had damage to our tanks or mechas, and lost the ability to move. However, Leitner didn't even think about taking us away, he didn't even think about it. try!"
Jack also listened with rapt attention, but immediately realized that something was wrong.
At this time Croma said: "Jack, stop struggling, it's useless. You know that without the defensive fort, you can't deal with any beast tide."
