Except for anti-aircraft guns, other heavy weapons, from rocket launchers to anti-tank missiles, cannot be fired upwards. Even the large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns are still looking at them because they do not use anti-aircraft gun mounts. .
But before Su Qin could start taking action. Probably after finally controlling the balance of the ship's hull, the target suddenly moved. Go straight up.
A lump suddenly bulged on the Taishan's protective shield, and the target's protective shield was about to separate. Fortunately, Su Qin's reaction was quick and he immediately followed the movement, finally preventing the opponent from escaping.
"I almost let him run away. Can't you stop him? What kind of forced formation?" Xu Siqi was very dissatisfied with this. While complaining to Su Qin, he picked up the intercom and shouted.
"Reload the front main gun!" But after reloading, it should still be an armor-piercing incendiary bomb. This battle will have nothing to do without him.
"There is a trainee knight opposite. Only he can force me to form a formation, but I can't force him." Needless to say, Xu Siqi said that Su Qin is now the biggest opponent of this hierarchical system.
While Su Qin was chasing the target tightly, he adjusted the attitude of the Taishan and slowly moved the target towards the bow.
At this moment, the target suddenly crossed its own hull, suddenly sank down on its own initiative, and actively entered the bow position of the Taishan.
"Okay! Red Arrow 73 is ready to shoot." Staff Officer Li quickly gave the command to prepare for shooting, but what he didn't expect was that the windows on the side of the opponent's ship that looked like gun windows finally revealed their true colors.
"Boom...boom...boom..." Among the incoherent gunshots, billowing smoke spewed out from the gun windows.
Ice debris flew across the bow of the Taishan, and Su Qin's instinctive reflex was to move the Taishan back dozens of meters.
"I'll go, there are real cannons." Staff Li braved the smoke that splashed into the air and turned into a cloud of ice mist as he rushed over to inspect the damage.
Only seeing a gap in the parapet, he couldn't help but take a breath. A spherical cannonball was embedded in the gap. Fortunately, the power only stopped there, and there was no one behind the wall at the time.
But where are the other shells?
Staff Officer Li jumped out of the parapet, ran to the edge of the ice and looked down. He found that a large chunk of the ice at his feet was missing, and the protective shield could no longer be reached from where he stood.
Now there was a hollow that was not too big or too small but sunken inward. The barge arranged horizontally in the direction of the Taishan's bow was partially suspended in the air, and the ice under the remaining part was only a few meters thick.
But where did the shattered ice go? Now there is only a small pile of crushed ice at the bottom of the cavity, with two black spherical solid shells in the middle.
Looking up at the target dozens of meters away, Staff Officer Li found that there was also a lot of ice in the opponent's protective shield.
It seems that the opponent's other several shells were not in vain, and just now he took another hard bite on the Taishan.
At this moment, Academician Wang on the top of the command tower is concerned about another thing.
"Is that a signal flag that's raised?" A few dozen meters ahead, the target, which had been hit by nearly a hundred artillery shells and an unknown number of rifle bullets, was still flying normally.
There was even a long pole extending from the side of the body, with several colorful flags on it. It really looked like signal flags no matter how you looked at it.
"Zhao Rongguang..."
"I can't understand." Signal soldier Zhao Rongguang responded reflexively.
"This is an alien signal flag. It is not an international signal." Zhao Rongguang, who has been transferred to the artilleryman position, has never let go of the 14.5-caliber machine gun on the control tower since he took up the fighting position.
Especially after Academician Wang said that he could fire at any time once contact was made, he was even more eager to try. Unfortunately, this large-caliber machine gun is now installed on a temporary horizontal gun mount on the command tower.
Zhao Rongguang could only stare when the twin 25 anti-aircraft guns on the front deck, which served as the forward main gun, fired fiercely overhead.
"Who told you to read the signal? Find something to record and take pictures!" Academician Wang really wanted to knock Zhao Rongguang.
"Oh oh oh, yes." Zhao Rongguang jumped off the shooting stand and hurriedly found the equipment.
"Has anyone seen another target?" This signal flag also reminded Su Qin, who couldn't help but ask questions in the cabin.
"Attention! They are coordinating their attacks!"
A group of people stood in a back-to-back circle on the command tower, with their eyes open. The answer was of course no, no one saw it.
"We can no longer engage the enemy head-on!" At this time, Staff Officer Li began to report the damage to the bow.
"We still have to keep attacking from above. The ice under our feet is not as strong as we imagined."
"It's not that the ice is not strong enough, it's that once the two protective shields merge, the part of the ice that loses the direct support of the protective shield may be directly torn apart by artificial gravity, especially when the gravity within the two protective shields is completely out of sync. Down."
Xiao Song was carefully observing the target directly in front of her, and of course she saw a lot of ice cubes in the opponent's protective shield.
"Yes." Staff Officer Li usually would not comment on such technical judgments, but today was an exception.
"I also think that the spherical solid cannonballs above will not be so lethal to the ice. It is normal for it to be able to block even a parapet."
"Doesn't that mean I can't roll anymore?" This is not difficult to understand. After Su Qin figured it out, he immediately became a little helpless. When the Tarzan is rolling, if the opponent dares to come up to it.
There is no need to use any effective weapons to fire. Just relying on the mutual interference of the gravity field at the core of the spacecraft, a lot of content can be torn off the ice of the Tarzan.
I'm afraid that the previous target noticed this, and now carefully maintained a distance of tens of meters, put up a signal flag and started to contact his accomplices.
"Boom..." There was another loud noise, and the Taishan was hit again. But the target in front is still dozens of meters away, outside the protective cover.
Being able to hear the sound of gunfire means that the protective shields of both sides have been connected together. Su Qin and the others are very sure of this, but now Su Qin does not dare to make any drastic operations.
Losing some ice is nothing, but the barge and the containers on the barge are supported by the ice, and the materials and equipment inside are crucial to this mission.
"Send someone to take a look at the back." Now there are people on the Taishan observing from all directions, but the back is relatively weak.
"If we are still being attacked under the ice, just ignore him for the time being. Let's deal with one target at a time." The final decision can only be made by Academician Wang.
"Su Qin! Go at full speed! Get closer."
"Yes!" Su Qin felt that he had a backbone and immediately answered loudly, while operating the Taishan to rush forward.
