1190. The price of freedom (Part 1)
As soon as the huge body of the Thor Mecha appeared on the battlefield, it immediately shocked the resistance fighters.
You know, there are huge war weapons. For example, the Galaxy Republic AT-TE tactical assault walker, which is 22.02 meters long, 9.57 meters high, and 5.7 meters wide, is a huge weapon commonly seen on the battlefield.
But the size of the Thor mecha is even larger than four AT-TEs arranged in a field! !
Of course, there are bigger ones, such as the SPHA-T self-propelled turbolaser cannon, which is 140 meters long, but ordinary people cannot see this thing, and even the production of the Galactic Republic is very small. I don’t mean anything else, I just feel bad. The cost of building such one is higher than that of an Aquitens-class light cruiser, and its effectiveness on the battlefield is not that great. So far, the Galactic Republic has only built a total of 100 of them. Ordinary people Didn't even know such a thing existed.
What now lies in front of these resistance fighters is such a behemoth that is nearly 20 meters long and wide and 24 meters high! For them, this is also the largest war machine they have ever seen!
It has a shape full of industrialized cold and ferocious atmosphere, thick armor visible to the naked eye, two twin-linked particle accelerator cannons on its hands, two sets of 8-link missile launchers on its shoulders, and behind its back, there are four ferocious Punisher cannons!
That's right, it's not the J-1 proton cannon in the rebel intelligence, but four 250-caliber Punisher cannons!
Since he planned to dig a hole for the rebels, General Kalani naturally made a complete set. After the first few tests, the two J-1 proton cannons were temporarily put down and converted into four Punisher cannons. Anyway, the Thor machine A's modular design makes such replacements very simple.
The rebels thought that THOR was a semi-finished product and that they needed to import the J-1 proton cannon to complete the final assembly. Little did they know that Dr. Zhang Jiarui came over with the finished product to grab the order!
After experiencing the initial shock, followed by an adrenaline rush, Saw Gerrera shouted: "Fuck me!! Kill this THOR!!"
In fact, without him opening his mouth, the resistance soldiers on the battlefield bravely rushed forward!
…
At this time, Zhang Jiarui had just woken up from the shock.
When the container disintegrated, this cruel battlefield was reflected in the cockpit through sensors, and the panoramic view was projected around him.
The remains of several AAT armored assault tanks were lying on the side burning. The only remaining AAT was still desperately fighting against the large number of rebel Soop-G hoverbikes - its firepower could hardly focus on those hoverbikes. On the contrary, , but the rocket launchers launched by the rebels continued to explode on the tank.
In the back, the MTT personnel carriers that had unleashed all the combat robots were slowly retreating, but the rebels had no intention of letting them go, and also continued to fire rocket launchers and EMP grenades to attack.
The phalanx of B-1 combat robots had been smashed to pieces. After the initial stage, most of the combat robots that had no idea how to hide and only knew how to move forward and shoot were quickly wiped out.
In the sky, all the HMP robot gunships were shot down, leaving only a few Vulture robot fighters still fighting the only ETA-2 fighter jets.
Zhang Jiarui had never been on a battlefield before. Such a battlefield full of wreckage and corpses, with flames and thick smoke everywhere shocked his soul immediately.
boom! ! A rocket landed on the Thor mecha. The shock absorber completely eliminated the vibration in the cockpit, but the alarm from the operating system still woke him up from the shock.
"Rebels? Since you want to take advantage of Thor, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zhang Jiarui yelled, "If you want to blame, just blame yourself for falling into General Kalani's trap!"
He suddenly pressed the fire button on the joystick, and the Thor's hammer particle accelerator cannon on the arm of the Thor mecha was instantly fired!
boom! ! ! ! ! A violent explosion exploded in front, and dozens of meters around the center of the explosion were affected by the explosion. Several hoverbikes were instantly exploded.
Explode.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Zhang Jiarui drove the Thor mecha and stepped out of the large truck, and the particle accelerator cannon in his other hand fired again.
boom! ! ! The attack failed, and the hoverbikes driven by the resistance fighters began to scatter.
But it doesn’t matter! There are two twin-mounted particle accelerator cannons on the arms of the Thor mecha, and the four barrels fire in sequence!
boom! boom! boom! ! The continuous bombardment blew up the hoverbikes of the resistance fighters.
"Charge over! Launch! Launch!!"
"For freedom!" the resistance soldier shouted loudly, and fired the rocket launcher immediately after loading. The rockets drew long tail flames and hit the Thor mecha directly, without even aiming.
But when the smoke from the explosion dissipated, all that was seen was that the thick armor of the Thor mecha was only scorched and dented, and had not been penetrated at all!
On the contrary, the Thor Mecha continued to fire particle accelerator cannons!
boom! boom! boom! The continuous bombardment caused continuous explosions on the ground. This explosion was extremely powerful. Not to mention a direct hit, even if it entered within 30 meters of the explosion range, the result would be that both the person and the hoverbike would fall apart!
The continuous firing caused the temperature of Thor's Hammer particle accelerator to be too high due to the continuous firing. Zhang Jiarui pressed another button, and the cooling system he personally designed began to operate. A large amount of coolant was turned into mist and sprayed over to start cooling.
A burst of white smoke rose from the air valve behind the arm of the Thor Mecha, making the Thor Mecha look like a demon in the fog.
But it wasn't over yet. The Thor mecha knelt down directly on the ground, lowered its height to increase the grounding area, and then stretched out the four terrifying barrels of the four Punisher cannons on its back!
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! Shelling! Continuous bombardment!
explode! Continuous explosions! !
The area that was shelled in front of the Thor mecha was completely turned into a sea of fire! !
After that, the Thor Mecha stood up again and continued to attack with its cooled-down particle accelerator cannon.
boom! Another shot was fired, and two hoverbikes were blown up instantly by the explosion. Several other hoverbikes running around in a hurry crashed into rocks and trees in desperation, and the driver screamed and flew out.
"Kill!!!" Saw Gerrera held a blaster rifle and fired at the Thor mecha, but the Thor mecha didn't even call the police for such an attack.
He jumped onto a hoverbike and rushed towards the Thor mecha at high speed.
The Thor mecha was facing away from him at the moment. He rushed behind the mecha and found that he was not even as tall as someone else's feet. Gritting his teeth, he took out two EMP grenades and threw them directly.
Hey~~~~! The invisible electromagnetic pulse spread immediately, but the Thor mecha remained motionless, turned its body slightly, aimed at the other side and fired another shot!
boom! ! The Thor's Hammer particle accelerator cannon fired just a few meters away from Saw Gerrera. The huge sound of the cannon and the fierce muzzle hurricane blew Saw Gerrera away in an instant. He fell off the suspended motorcycle and fell to the ground with a thud. The roar of the giant cannon made me dizzy.
"What is this?" Anakin Skywalker, who was flying an Eta-2 fighter jet in the sky, suddenly felt frightened when he saw this terrifying mecha.
But he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately swooped down with the fighter jet, aiming the laser cannon at the Thor mecha and firing a burst of fire.
But the Eta-2 is just a light fighter after all, and this series of laser cannon bursts is like scratching an itch for Thor.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a burst of fire from the 8-unit missile launcher on the shoulder of the Thor mecha, and 16 cluster anti-aircraft missiles soared into the sky, exploding a large barrage in the sky!
Anakin Skywalker sensed the approaching danger and began to avoid it in advance. However, in the atmosphere, the fighter's maneuverability was still poor. In the dive state, he was unable to pull himself up immediately and avoid the hundreds of meters. Range barrage.
The wing of the fighter jet that could not evade was hit by a piece of shrapnel and lost immediately.
To balance, you can only make an emergency landing while driving.
Over there, the battle has been extremely fierce, and the resistance forces equipped with only light weapons are unable to cause any damage to the Thor mecha. After eating hundreds of rockets, although the main armor belt of the Thor mecha has suffered a lot of damage, the overall structure is still intact and does not affect the combat at all.
The desperate resistance fighters could only risk rushing over. On the one hand, they judged that the Thor Mecha was huge and would definitely not be able to take care of the immediate area. On the other hand, they had the only weapon in their hands that could still hope to harm the Thor Mecha. , only those EMP grenades are left.
But it's not easy to break through the fire blockade of two twin Quake particle accelerator cannons and rush over! The action of the Thor mecha is not as cumbersome as it looks on the outside. At least operations such as turning around are very smooth. Zhang Jiarui controlled the mecha without aiming, and fired wherever there were crowds of people, relying entirely on the shock wave of the explosion to kill.
One after another, the resistance fighters rushed to the location close to the Thor mecha and began to throw EMP grenades.
But if you throw this kind of grenade, it will only land at the feet of the Thor mecha. The electromagnetic pulse generated after exploding will not really threaten the mecha.
On the one hand, this is because the energy level of the Thor mecha is too high and the armor is too thick for electromagnetic pulses to penetrate; on the other hand, the weapons produced by Tyron Heavy Industry have fully considered the situation of dealing with EMP weapons. This kind of low-power EMP Grenades are no problem.
Of course, the main reason is... despite the overall appearance of the Thor Mecha, it looks like a short and thick little dwarf, but this thing is 24 meters tall! Those pair of short and thick mechanical legs are over 8 meters long. If you drop an EMP grenade on the ground and explode like this, can it spread to 8 meters away?
Anyway, the leg structure of the Thor mecha is all mechanical transmission. If you like to explode your EMP, it will have no effect at all.
In the cockpit, Dr. Zhang Jiarui has gone completely crazy!
The feeling of driving such a huge war weapon unparalleled on the battlefield is not much different from playing a game. All he needs to do is keep pressing the button to blow up all the moving targets.
As for how tragic it was for these resistance fighters who were blown to pieces with bloody flesh and limbs flying around, Zhang Jiarui, who was full of adrenaline, had not thought about it yet.
Seeing the rebel soldiers rushing over, Zhang Jiarui only felt funny. He felt happy and laughed out loud, "Hahahaha!! Do you think I really haven't considered the situation of being approached by infantry***!? Hahahahaha! Are you underestimating the IQ of our Tyron Heavy Industry engineers? Come on, try this!"
He opened a lid next to it, and there was a red button under the lid.
…
"Retreat! Retreat!! This is a trap! This is a trap!!" Stella Guerrera is also on the battlefield, but she is trying her best to persuade the resistance fighters to evacuate here as soon as possible.
But few of the rebel fighters who were already red-eyed were willing to listen to her. She could only watch helplessly as they attacked THOR like moths to a flame, and then were killed in pieces by the opponent's powerful artillery fire.
This is not a fight, not at all! This...this is a massacre!
Lux-Bontry stared blankly at the slaughterhouse, watching the huge mecha killing everyone, and watching the resistance soldiers being killed continuously. His face was pale and his whole body was shaking.
boom! ! There was another explosion, and a broken arm fell right on the glass of the suspended truck next to Lukes, making a snapping sound, and then gradually slid down and landed at Lukes feet.
Plop, Lux fell to his knees, "No... it's not like this... it shouldn't be like this! I... I'm fighting for freedom, I'm a freedom fighter! It's not like this... no..."
He watched as the rebel fighters, many of whom he knew personally, were killed. They have gotten together more than once to attack those separatist robots, talk loudly about freedom, and long for a better future...
But now... they are all dead, they are all dead!
And...it's because of himself and the information he gave!
This is a
Trap... I killed them... They died because of me...
Such thoughts kept lingering in Lukes' mind, hammering at his fragile heart.
He saw Stella Guerrera carrying a soldier who was almost burnt all over, placed it in front of him, then threw him a medical kit and said loudly: "You are here to treat the wounded! I will rescue people." !」
After saying that, she ignored Lux and turned around and rushed into the smoke-filled battlefield.
"It hurts...it hurts...Help me, help me quickly...Help..." The wounded man lying in front of Lux kept screaming, but the burn area on his body had exceeded 95%, and he could not be found at all. to a complete piece of skin. The body exudes a smell that is mixed with the aroma of barbecue and the smell of burnt...
Lux vomited out when he smelled the smell, and all the vomit fell on the wounded. The wounded let out an even more shrill scream. Lux was completely confused. He didn't know what to do. He just kept apologizing and apologizing...
"Retreat! Retreat!!!" Stella shouted loudly while rescuing the wounded.
At this time, Zhang Jiarui had already pressed the red button...
All I saw was that the shoulder armor of the Thor mecha opened, revealing the honeycomb-like launch hole below, and then... launched!
