1492. Battle of Zion Spaceport.
Countless mechanical squids swarmed out of the hole with a diameter of about five meters. These mechanical squids were very mobile. Even though they were densely packed together, they did not make any mistakes!
"All units, fire at will! Fire at will!! " Under Locke's command in the command center, countless weapons in the spaceport opened fire at the same time!!
Da da da da da ~!!! The two 30mm cannons on the arms of hundreds of APU Mechs spewed out long tongues of fire! Countless large-calibre armor-piercing bullets were accurately fired at the hole! As long as the powerful armor-piercing bullets hit, they could easily tear apart the outer armor of the mechanical squids. Only a few armor-piercing bullets were needed to completely destroy these killing machines!
Not only that, the fixed turrets whose firing range just happened to cover the hole also opened fire! Some were the 100mm heavy cannons that Zion had originally installed, and some were machine gun turrets. However, the most numerous were the electromagnetic cannons built with the technical support of Tang Yu!!
These electromagnetic cannons used the same type of armor-piercing bullets as the APU Mechs, but they only had warheads. This was because the electromagnetic cannons did not need cartridges to fire. These armor-piercing bullets were also the most common ammunition in Zion's inventory! Under the control of the human soldiers, these electromagnetic cannons took aim and immediately pulled the trigger to fire! A dazzling electric light flashed from the coiled track. A 30mm armor-piercing bullet was fired at a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound!
Whoosh!!! A mechanical squid was instantly pierced by this armor-piercing bullet. The bullet even penetrated the armor of another mechanical squid behind it. It was killing two birds with one stone!! However, the soldier operating the cannon did not check his own record. He immediately operated the electromagnetic cannon to continue firing!
The rate of fire of this electromagnetic cannon was not fast, about two rounds per second. It was incomparable to the APU that could fire ten rounds per second. However, the initial speed of the projectile fired by the electromagnetic cannon was more than three times that of the APU's gunpowder. The destructive power was also greater! Under the extremely dense formation of the mechanical squids, it was completely normal for one shot to directly penetrate two or three mechanical squids!!
The wreckage of the destroyed mechanical squids continued to fall from the hole and fell into Zion City. Under the firepower of Zion, which was several times larger than in the original plot, the mechanical squids could not rush out of the hole and were immediately destroyed!
"Yeah!! Well done! Kill these mechanical trash!! " Some of the turret operators who did not fire because of the shooting range, and the militia who were on standby because they did not join the battle for the time being, looked at the completely suppressed attack of the robots and cheered loudly.
But right after that, only the rumbling sounds continued to be heard. Then, the second and third drilling rigs pierced through the rock stratum and fell down! Immediately after, more Mechanical Squids rushed out from the newly opened hole! More turrets on Sion's side immediately opened fire, and the sound of gunfire rang out incessantly!
As the battlefield expanded, the defensive firepower set up at Zion Spaceport was completely unleashed! Over a thousand Electromagnetic Cannons continued to rain down high-speed projectiles, while hundreds of APU mechs continued to open fire! The ammunition poured out at an unimaginable speed. Almost every second, there were hundreds of thousands of artillery shells flying in the air!
The wreckage of the mechanical squid covered the ground of the spaceport in a thick layer. There were even a few human warriors who were accidentally killed by the wreckage that fell like rain. However, after all, the three holes still dispersed part of the defensive firepower. The mechanical squids began to gradually emerge from the holes!
At this time, some of the APU mechs began to run out of ammunition and began to replace the ammunition. Some of the Electromagnetic Cannons also needed to replace the capacitors and replace the red-hot electromagnetic rails. Zion's defensive firepower began to weaken. Taking advantage of this fleeting gap, the mechanical squids immediately sped up! They charged forward without fear of death. Even if they sacrificed themselves to attract some of the firepower, they would not hesitate! The army of robots had always been like this. There was no death, no fear, only killing!
The mechanical squids began to drill out from the holes! These mechanical squids had very high intelligence. After they drilled out of the holes, they did not immediately rush forward. Instead, they immediately changed direction and moved at high speed along the surrounding cave walls! As a result, some of the firepower abandoned the holes where the mechanical squids were most concentrated and attacked the mechanical squids that were scurrying along the cave walls! The defensive firepower was further weakened!
Then, the fourth and fifth drilling rigs also broke through the rock stratum and fell down! More holes appeared and the mechanical squids that had been on standby immediately swarmed forward. From five directions, five holes were launched at the same time! The firepower of the human defenders was further dispersed and mechanical squids began to swarm out from the holes!
Moreover, the mechanical squids were very clear about their own division of labor. Some of the mechanical squids immediately ran around along the surrounding walls after they drilled out of the holes to attract the attacks of the defenders. Most of the mechanical squids gathered in the middle. They even grabbed the wreckage of some of their destroyed companions and used them as shields to quickly approach the human defenders' line of defense!
At this critical moment, all the human militias in the spaceport roared and rushed out of their bunkers! They held a variety of firearms in their hands. As long as they could fire bullets, they would take them out and shoot at the mechanical squids! The addition of thousands of militias further strengthened the firepower of the defenders.
"Pass down the order immediately! Let the infantry units attack the mechanical squids that are scurrying around! All APUs and fixed turrets focus their firepower on the five holes! Do not disperse the firepower! "Locke, who was in the command center, said sternly.
"Yes!" The orderly replied loudly and immediately passed down the order.
Tat tat tat tat! Tat tat tat tat! All the human soldiers were firing without any regard for their lives. Although most of them were using small-caliber assault rifles, which could not penetrate the armor of the mechanical squids, the kinetic energy of the bullets could still affect the movements of the mechanical squids. Moreover, under continuous attacks, the armor of the mechanical squids would also develop metal fatigue. If they were lucky, their sensors would be destroyed or their joints would get stuck.
After the adjustment, the human defense line was once again stabilized. The wreckage of the mechanical squids fell down like rain, but these mechanical squids were almost endless! Some mechanical squids had already begun to rush into the defense line, destroying the fixed electromagnetic pulse turrets and killing the soldiers who came out of their bunkers!
Seeing that the pressure on the defense line was increasing, Peacock turned to Jane Connor and said, "It's our turn. You go take care of those drilling rigs, I'll deal with these mechanical squids!"
Jane Connor looked at the five huge drilling rigs. Although they were directly transported to the bottom by Peacock's space ability when they drilled through the rock stratum, they did not cause any damage when they crashed down. Not only that, but with the movements of the four mechanical legs, they had already turned over with difficulty. The drilling bit was aimed at the bottom and they began to drill down!
If these drilling rigs were allowed to penetrate the rock stratum of the spaceport, then the city of Zion would face a direct attack!
