Chapter 17: Assault on the Iron Cat Knights

sizzle-

The gap between the two homogeneous steel plates was bridged and cooled in the hot blue sparks, eventually turning into a perfect whole.

When the last bright spark faded, the blue smoke from the burning metal slowly rose up, as if igniting the glass-colored dawn in the distant sky.

As the rising sun cast its golden light on the earth, Garage No. 7, which was brightly lit all night, seemed to gradually lose its miraculous glory.

The view comes to the inside of the garage.

A large vehicle body without a turret was standing quietly under the fluorescent light emitting a cold white light.

The front of the vehicle is a complete piece of sloped armor, sandwiched by the raised tracks on both sides, giving it a sense of being wrapped and sharp.

When the line of sight extends backward from both sides of the tracks, pieces of sturdy armor plates are hung on the quick-release racks with rounded edges, perfectly protecting about half of the tracks. Under the armor are eight pairs of staggered road wheels, reflecting a cold metallic luster under the light of the garage.

The rear of the vehicle continues to retain the highly recognizable short-bottom-long-upper inward-cut structure of the Type 6 tank, and two thick exhaust pipes with mufflers protrude upward, full of industrial power and muscularity.

The armor plate on the top of the vehicle body has not yet been laid, revealing the bare half of the turret ring and the complex rear half of the vehicle interior, as well as the sturdy transmission structure and huge black engine.

At this moment, there were two blankets on the floor of the carriage. Iroha was sleeping soundly on the inner blanket, with an open notebook next to him, which was filled with assembly diagrams of electromechanical devices drawn with a blue ballpoint pen.

The red-haired girl had the Pandemonium uniform cap on her face, her long, soft red hair hung over the automatic ammunition feeder bracket under her head, and the long uniform windbreaker that she never took off was draped over her body crookedly, revealing a large area of ​​fair skin at her neckline and waist without any obstruction.

And Xuefeng, who had been working hard before she went to bed, was now slowly inserting the welding gun back into the hanging slot of the welding machine.

When the welding gun was returned to its place, the blonde girl with her eyes rolled back fell backwards, making a dull sound on the concrete floor, which also woke up Iroha who was sleeping in the carriage.

Then the sleepy red-haired girl rubbed her eyes and poked her head out from the seat. She looked around hard and found that Xuefeng was nowhere to be found. So she simply climbed out of the car and slid down the front inclined armored area that had been laid.

As a result, he stepped on the unconscious Xuefeng, and then his feet went soft and he fell to the concrete ground in front of him with a thud.

"I've already prepared a blanket for you, why do you want to sleep outside..."

Iroha got up from the ground, rubbing her cheek and complaining. However, when she saw the highly completed car body behind Yukikaze, her drowsy brain instantly became clear.

I clearly remember that when I had finished installing the electromechanical components, the chassis was just an empty frame with the tracks and part of the main body installed. How come in such a short while even the armor has been welded?

After walking around the chariot in amazement, Iroha suddenly felt that after the chariot was assembled, regardless of its combat efficiency, at least its appearance would be absolutely beautiful.

And the production cost must be very high...

After all, the welding process required for the No. 6 tank is already very advanced, and the manufacturing process required for this tank seems to be much more complicated than that of the No. 6 tank...

After a slight shock, Iroha climbed into the carriage using his hands and feet and took out the blanket and notebook inside.

Then he found a clean place, spread out a blanket, and carried the drowsy Xuefeng onto the blanket. He even carefully folded another blanket into a pillow and stuffed it under her head. Finally, he took off his windbreaker and covered her with it.

In her opinion, this somewhat naive golden-haired girl is now the most important chariot designer and technician in Pandemonium. Even if she, Iroha, catches a cold, she must not let this super talented person catch a cold.

Hmm... Ibuki really found a treasure for Pandemonium...

After doing all this quietly, Iroha slapped his cheeks while yawning, and muttered to himself with a bitter face.

"Although it was my request from the beginning to the end, I feel a lot of pressure when you are so proactive..."

"But I can't fall behind in the things I've done myself..."

"It's so annoying... Anyway, just keep doing it..."

After forcing herself to cheer up, the red-haired girl with a miserable expression walked towards the huge car body that was almost as tall as her.

Continue to follow the assembly diagram on the notebook and start working.

Behind her, the sleepy Xuefeng subconsciously stretched out his dirty little hands and tightened his windbreaker.

"Mmm...Mom...I'm so tired..."

After Yukikaze and Iroha completed the handover tacitly, the revenge war launched by Qianjiang and others also came to an end.

However, to talk about this thrilling debut of the War Research Department, we have to go back more than an hour ago.

The outer suburbs of Gehenna.

Inside the Iron Cat Knights' chariot camp.

Da da da--

On the east side of the camp, the furious gray-haired Dumpling and Xiaocha simultaneously pulled the trigger at the three problem students holding basins of water on the opposite side. The torrential rain of burning bullets instantly engulfed the other side's figures, but the sound of their counterattacks also completely alarmed the other people in the wooden house in the camp.

Seeing the Iron Cat Knights members pouring out like a tide in the distance, the two wet girls gritted their teeth and rushed over while changing magazines.

The previously devised sophisticated tactics no longer matter...

It doesn't matter how many people I have to face next...

It doesn't even matter whether I can leave standing...

But all the bastards here won’t be able to leave standing today!

When the distance between the two sides was close enough that they could almost see each other's appearance clearly, Chiba threw forward his backpack full of explosives and flash bombs in front of Xiaocha's horrified gaze.

Three seconds later, everyone in the camp seemed to see a dazzling sun.

A loud explosion and shock wave followed. The problem students who were directly below the explosion were the first to be hit. The moment they lost their vision, they were thrown into the sky by the air wave, and then crashed through the nearby wooden fence and the wall of the wooden house behind them.

at the same time.

Xiaocha, who hesitated for a moment and failed to fall down in time, was also knocked backwards by the air wave. However, when she lost her balance, she subconsciously supported the ground with her hands, and after gracefully flipping her body twice in the air, she successfully adjusted her landing posture, leaving two long marks on the gravel ground with her two small round-toed leather shoes.

"Qiye, you bastard! Next time you throw flash bombs and explosives, can you please give us a heads-up first?"

"There won't be a next time! I'm going to kill those bastards right now!"

Chiba got up from the ground and yelled without looking back, then rushed towards the problematic students who were trying to regroup on the opposite side. Seeing this, Xiaocha didn't even bother to wipe the dust off his hands, and quickly raised his MP5K submachine gun and followed.

At this moment, Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong, who had just rushed in from the front entrance, saw two teammates rushing past them at full speed and subconsciously stopped in their tracks.

"Didn't we say to go in quietly? Never mind. Let's go up and help!"

Xiao Hei, who suddenly became energetic, pointed at his teammates' backs and said excitedly. Xiao Hong sighed and said, "Give me the explosives and go over to help. I'll go load them on their car first. Otherwise, if the attack fails, we won't be able to escape!"

The excited Xiao Hei immediately threw the backpack full of explosives to Xiao Hong, then raised his rifle and rushed forward.

The firepower from two automatic rifles and two submachine guns instantly suppressed the members of the Iron Cat Knights who were severely damaged by the bomb. Almost all the enemies who tried to raise their guns to fight back were hit head-on by these three people.

During the fierce exchange of fire, several problem students suddenly ran away. Xiaocha turned the gun around and fired several shots but missed the target. Finally, they ran into the dark repair workshop at the back.

However, Chiba and Xiao Hei next to her didn't care after seeing that she failed to intercept. The gray-haired ball quickly made a series of tactical gestures, signaling them to attack from the left and right sides, while he continued to maintain frontal fire suppression. The three of them soon pierced slowly into the Iron Cat Knights' counterattack line like a trident.

Seeing that the situation was very good for his side, Xiao Hei, who was attacking crazily on the side, shouted excitedly: "Come out! Don't you guys like to join in the fun?!"

Xiaocha, who was sitting opposite her, smiled cruelly and raised two submachine guns, spraying bullets and taunting her: "Aren't you the fearless Gehenna Speed ​​Legend? Why are you lying in the mud and not daring to move?!"

Seeing the increasingly arrogant looks of her two teammates, Chiba in front did not say a word, but just threw two grenades consecutively towards the increasingly smaller encirclement. When she saw someone trying to throw the grenade back, she half-knelt on the ground and slowly fired several bursts of shots, successfully injuring the opponent's arm.

My sister is good in everything except that she likes to exaggerate. She must have kept the muzzle of the gun steady, otherwise how could she have shot so accurately.

Then two grenades exploded one after another, and the impact waves instantly destroyed the nearby fences and bunkers, revealing only a dozen problem students left in the encirclement. Just when they were planning to kill the other side in one fell swoop, a sharp engine roar suddenly came from the repair workshop in the distance.

Then, in the dazzling light, a Type 6 tank with strange paint rushed out of the repair workshop and rushed towards Xiaocha, who was closest to it.

bang——

A blinding white light pierced through the night, instantly blinding everyone.

Xiaocha closed his eyes as he threw a flash bomb at the tank behind him, then threw out the backpack full of explosives based on the direction he remembered, and then rushed into the sandbag bunker beside him without looking back.

boom--

Another violent explosion sounded, and the sand and gravel blown by the air wave hit the shelters around the crowd like bombs. After the field of vision was slightly restored, everyone poked their heads out to look at the position of the tank.

At this time, the tank that suddenly appeared had stalled, half of its track had rolled into the big hole created by the explosives, and the tank was tilted and stopped there without moving.

The armor on the front of the vehicle had obviously fallen off in a large area, revealing the rusty steel plate underneath, which looked miserable.

For a moment, almost everyone on the battlefield held their breath, except for the faint sound of burning debris.

After a moment, the impatient members of the Iron Cat Knights couldn't help but yell.

"Damn it, even the tank was destroyed..."

"It doesn't matter, there are only three of them, and now we have the advantage!"

"Go, go, go! Avenge the destroyed chariot!"

After a brief period of disappointment, the besieged students began to cheer again with each other's encouragement.

Then all the problem students came out from behind their cover with rifles in hand, ready to fight to the death with Qianjiang and the others on the opposite side.

At this time, Xiaocha realized that although the tank had stalled, there was no obvious damage, so he quietly returned to Chiba with a submachine gun.

"The situation is not good. I can't be sure whether the enemy's tank has broken down. Moreover, the remaining people on the other side have reorganized their offensive. We have to leave quickly!"

"I'll go and draw the fire. You call Xiao Hei and Xiao Hong to leave quickly. This battle isn't over yet! They actually dared to use such large-scale equipment that exceeds the specifications. Now it's the turn of the discipline committee members!"

After taking a picture of the Type 6 tank on the opposite side as evidence, Qianye patted Xiaocha on the back to signal her to act as soon as possible. Then the petite figure flipped out from behind the bunker and once again rained bullets at the crowd gathered on the opposite side.

Chiba, who voluntarily exposed himself to the enemy's gun, successfully attracted most of the firepower. Seeing this, Xiaocha also took the opportunity to rush out. After knocking down several problem students who suppressed Xiaohei with two submachine guns, he pulled her out from behind the bunker.

Next, the three of them took turns covering each other, fighting and retreating towards the direction of the gate.

boom--

A cannon shot suddenly suppressed all the gunfire, and the shock wave generated by the high-explosive grenade instantly knocked over Chiba and others who were trying to escape.

"Ahem...Pah...I knew that big thing wouldn't break down so easily..."

"Pfft...hurry up...just run back to the jeep outside the camp and you'll be safe..."

The gray-haired ball that was blown away by the gust of wind rolled and crawled to its feet from the ground. While spitting out the mud and sand that had entered its mouth, it pulled up Xiao Hei and Xiao Cha, who were badly knocked unconscious beside it.

Then the three girls limped towards the gate again, and the No. 6 tank behind them started again and rolled over again with a harsh engine roar, as if it wanted to crush Chiba and the others directly.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Qianye realized that he could not escape, so he pushed Xiaocha, who was still in a dizzy state, away with all his strength, and turned around and kicked Xiaohei, who had no time to dodge.

Just as she was staring at the direction the tank was moving and preparing to slide under the vehicle.

Suddenly, another roar of an engine was heard behind me.

Chapter 18: Follow the Process Carefully

thump—

The armed jeep that was speeding from behind Chiba crashed into the front of the tank that was moving at high speed. The crude armor plate welded on the front of the car broke and fell off instantly, and then the rear of the car lifted up under the strong inertia.

This flabby and shabby-looking jeep was clearly no match for the heavy tank in terms of power. Then, under the push of the tank, the entire jeep suddenly turned sideways and collided with the front of the tank for the second time.

Between the electric light and flint.

The rapidly rolling tracks directly rolled over the body of the jeep. Under the crushing of the tank, the steel body of the jeep immediately made a teeth-grinding metal twisting sound.

Xiaohong, who was almost knocked unconscious in the driver's seat, struggled to pull out the tactical knife to cut the seat belt, quickly rolled out of the deformed car body, then staggered and pulled Qianye to rush behind a wooden fence not far away.

On the other side, the rescued Xiao Hei and Xiao Cha also stumbled over. They wanted to call Xiao Hong and Qian Ye to escape together, but they were dragged to the ground by Xiao Hong before they could say a word.

At this time, the tank behind them had completely crushed the jeep, and the turret, which had returned to its horizontal state, quickly turned, pointing the black gun barrel at the wooden fence where Chiba and others were hiding.

"Hey, hey, hey, run! That guy is going to fire!"

"They didn't get a chance to fire!"

After breaking free from her companions' pull, Xiaohong leaned against the wooden fence, covered her ears with one hand, and with the other hand showed the bomb remote control with the safety button pressed by her thumb.

This action immediately made the girls nearby open their eyes wide.

boom--

As Xiaohong pressed the detonator button hard, the wreckage of the jeep under the track suddenly exploded, and the strong air wave instantly overturned the tank above.

As the tank rolled sideways, the rapidly spinning tracks and road wheels splattered under the impact of the explosion. Then the turret and gun barrel that were squeezed due to the rollover turned into a pile of scrap metal with a terrifying sound of metal cracking.

When the smoke from the explosion slowly dissipated, the angry problem students behind the tank rushed up again and quickly surrounded Qianye and others who had no time to escape. However, Xiaohong still arrogantly shook the remote control in her hand.

"Drop your weapons and surrender, or I'll blow up all your remaining motorcycles!"

"If you have the guts, then go ahead and blow it up. Today, all of you..."
