From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 245 Atlas pulls out the knife for cancer

Rubian 5, these imperial soldiers on the outskirts of the satellite city of Ptolemaic City, the survivors among them may never forget the battle that took place that night in their lives.

First, there was a beam of light coming from above like a divine punishment.

It was like a blow that penetrated the stars, directly and organically annihilating a battalion of their friendly units.

Immediately afterwards, those HCPs in the coalition forces that launched the attack, like demons returning from hell, rushed directly into their direction under the illumination of the huge plasma fireball and started a hand-to-hand battle with their own HCP troops.

These nearly ten-meter-tall steel giants kept flashing and moving around on the battlefield, and from time to time they would launch a dazzling charge amidst the screams of sonic booms.

The harsh collision between steel and steel hit the hearts of these imperial soldiers one after another.

But among them, the dark red HCP leading the enemy is even more terrifying.

It was the first to break into the defensive position, and directly hit the Zealot that came up to block it with its shield and flew backwards.

The fanatic's combat auxiliary AI quickly took over the attitude control of the aircraft and activated the main propulsion array on the back in an attempt to restore balance to the aircraft.

But the attack of the dark red HCP did not stop at that step. After completing the impact with the shield, the propulsion array on its back also erupted with a round of bright blue light.

The entire machine body seemed to be attached to the target, and it immediately rushed forward.

The huge plasma heavy sword was held in his right hand at some point, and the edge of the heavy sword quickly lit up with plasma blue light after being powered on.

Just like a 'blue crescent' that suddenly appeared in the night, driven by the electromagnetic muscles of the mechanical arm, the heavy sword slashed in an arc from the lower right to diagonally upward.

The high-temperature and high-speed plasma constrained by the pointing magnetic field at the 'sword edge' position dissipated the surface silicon carbide armor plate the moment it came into contact with the cutting site.

Immediately afterwards, the laminated armor, whose heat energy release efficiency had reached its upper limit, and the third layer of memory metal armor, which had no time to repair itself, were also violently torn apart.

Finally, the titanium alloy skeleton of the body structure was built. Under the huge kinetic energy of the heavy sword, it was cut off like the spine of a swordsman inspecting a knife.

The Imperial HCP pilot who was so close could only sigh, "What a quick kill!" ’, and was reduced to ashes under the high-temperature plasma blade that streaked across the cockpit.

But this is not over yet. Under the mapping of the on-board operating system, this dark red HCP jumped up and performed an extremely standard 'Rider Kick' just like a human, using the final inertia of sprinting.

The main structure of the Imperial HCP was basically damaged. Under this flying kick, the entire upper body flew directly out and was completely scrapped.

This is a hand-to-hand battle between HCPs. When both sides hold heavy swords with excessive cutting power, a precise attack is enough to end the battle.

This is why at present, whether it is a pilot from the Federation or the Empire, even if they can kill seven in and seven out with their heavy slashing swords like a god of death in a simulated battle.

But when they actually go to the battlefield, they will never draw their swords in hand-to-hand combat unless absolutely necessary.

Because the fault tolerance rate of such a battle is too low, it is very likely that due to a low-level mistake of one's own, the opponent will be "sent away with one sword".
But these Atlas pilots are different.

Under the influence of Amber, the chief instructor of the HCP unit, the situation of 'drawing knife cancer' is very serious, and all of them are in the late stage.

In Atlas, any pilot who can be selected into the HCP unit and successfully complete all training subjects and be assigned to the corresponding unit will have no poor hand-to-hand combat skills.
Because the last item in the all-subject assessment is to turn on the training machine and use a training sword that feels the same as a plasma heavy sword to survive 1 minutes in a 1V5 duel with Amber.

Although this training subject has become increasingly difficult for Amber to find time to participate in, the 'training syllabus revision team' is looking for other subjects to replace it.

例如在和毕业机师的1V2或者1V3对决中撑过5分钟——这是为了模拟在战场上遭遇数量优势敌人攻击的情况。

After all, you can't expect more enemies on the battlefield to play a 1V1 'just duel' with you.

All in all, at least on this planet right now, you would be hard-pressed to find another team that is better than the Atlas HCP pilots in the subject of 'HCP hand-to-hand combat'.

"No one knows hand-to-hand combat better than us!"

These are the words posted by many Atlas HCP pilots on the multi-function screens in the cockpits of their aircraft.

So when this group of wolf-like pilots controlled the aircraft and broke into the range of hand-to-hand combat, the HCP unit of the Imperial Armored Battalion in front was almost instantly wiped out.

When the HCPs on both sides were mixed together, the supporting firepower such as main battle tanks and multi-legged tanks in the rear were dumbfounded.

It was originally a night battle with extremely low visibility, and the sound of firing from various energy weapons had been interfering with the optical equipment. Now the units of both sides were still mixed together, and they were constantly maneuvering.

This makes it impossible for these units to provide effective direct fire support.

Moreover, relying on their advantages in driving skills and the tacit understanding cultivated through extensive cooperation training, Atlas pilots can often achieve a 'many versus one' advantage in a small area.

The empire's HCP often managed to block an attack with their shields. Before they could stabilize their posture, they would find another HCP emerging from the shadow of the opponent directly in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, there was a simple horizontal slash.

Looking at the multi-function display in the cockpit, each friendly unit was marked with a 'red cross', the commander of this imperial HCP force also felt cold. The enemies who had killed their own units in three strikes and five strikes had already crossed the interception line formed by the HCP company and rushed toward the rear line.

But only main battle tanks and multi-legged combat vehicles were left there.

Although their main weapons can also pose a threat to HCP units, especially the electromagnetic reconnection guns equipped on some main battle tanks and heavy multi-legged combat vehicles, if they are shot well, they can also blast HCPs into parts with one shot.

However, in terms of flexibility, these units cannot compare with HCP. Once they get close, they will be surrounded to death.

These are the reasons why, whether it is an armored combined battalion or a heavy combined battalion, HCP is used to cooperate with main battle tanks and multi-legged combat vehicles.

However, the Imperial HCP commander could not worry about the friendly forces in the rear at this time.

Because on the all-circuit monitor, the opponent's dark red HCP has been eyeing him, and the distance between the two sides is shrinking under the opponent's supersonic sprint.

And he also knew very well that in hand-to-hand combat, he was definitely no match for the God of Killing.

"Hound No. 1, let's support you!"

Just when the commander was about to fight to the death in the Zealot Command Type, other people's voices came from the communication channel.

He turned around and saw that on a small slope more than 150 meters to the right, an anti-HCP team was nervously completing the erection of a portable anti-vehicle electromagnetic gun.

At the same time, remaining friendly units also appeared in several other directions, and the signal of 'prepare to cover the attack' was sent.

The commander immediately blocked the heavy shield in front of him and quietly activated the heavy particle cannon behind his shoulder.

Soon, just as the dark red HCP in front crossed a certain line, an orange line of fire flashed from the right without warning.

At the same time, there were two other orange lines of fire plus a stream of charged particles flying towards the target HCP from other directions.

Then, the commander saw a scene that was beyond his comprehension.

As if predicting the future, the HCP leaned down at the moment when the charged particle cannon fired, avoiding the charged particle beam.

Immediately afterwards, the huge shield was clasped diagonally in front of him, and in conjunction with the wild silver-white electric snake when the deflection field was fully activated, he twisted open two high-speed penetration rods that were rubbed red by the air.

Finally, he tilted his head outrageously, dodging the last high-speed piercing rod that came towards him. At the same time, the close-range laser cannons on both sides of the main monitor on his head followed the trajectory of the electromagnetic cannon and irradiated it. .

A ball of fire exploded in the night, announcing the fate of this anti-HCP group.

And this dark red HCP did not know when it switched the heavy sword in its hand to an electromagnetic rifle.

While the muzzle of the 50mm electromagnetic rifle flashed with lightning, several friendly units cooperating with the attack also lost their signals one after another.

But these imperial soldiers still gave their lives to give the imperial HCP commander a chance to attack.

The muzzle of the heavy particle cannon that had been fully deployed lit up with white light. On the all-sky screen in front of the commander's eyes, the target locked by the purple frame was finally swallowed up by the surging jet of heavy metal particles.

Unfortunately, when the white light dissipated, another HCP carrying a heavy laminated armor shield appeared in front of the dark red HCP.

Obviously, the fatal shot just now had been blocked by this uninvited guest.

"No!"

The imperial commander shouted an unwilling roar.

But the roar only echoed in the cockpit for a moment before it was interrupted by the heavy sword that ripped open the main propulsion array and armor plate from the rear, and finally penetrated the cockpit.

"The target HCP stopped its activities and it was confirmed that it did not cause the superconducting battery stack to quench."

Murat pulled out the heavy sword from the back of the HCP, and then waved towards Amber and Louis, who was holding a shield.

Just now, the two men rushed forward with their HCP companies, and other combat units from the two heavy-duty combined battalions also completed the breakthrough through the hole torn by Amber and the others.

Amber looked at the situation map of the enemy and ourselves on the multi-function display. At this time, the Atlas mixed brigade had penetrated into the Imperial Army's defense line like a sharp arrow.

The 30 assault-equipped HCPs assembled at the front are the sharpest arrows of this arrow.

"Continue to attack, and continue to expand the results before the opponent reacts!

Send a report to other coalition forces and tell them that we have launched a counterattack. Those who are capable should follow us, and those who are not capable should get out of the way and stay out of the way! "

"Yes, sir!"
