Chapter 369: Intention to Transfer
Sarah wanted to throw it away and change a mount, but Andariel chased her relentlessly and forced her to continue attacking to avoid being caught off guard by the guy's poisonous claws.
At this time, Ruger's vanguard tank troops had rushed back from the first line of defense to the second line of defense.
The average distance to the west of the Rogue infantry fighting vehicles was no more than 300 meters.
In other words, most of the tank troops could fire at Andariel.
However, under Ruger's order, except for the two fastest Leopard 2A4s, which were allowed to shoot with steel needles, the rest, including the Leopard tanks and the Horse Bear tanks, were ordered not to attack, but to continue to move west to support the Rogue infantry fighting vehicle troops to retreat.
There was no way. As most of the main forces of Rogue were involved in the fight with Andariel, more and more monsters rushed out of the catacombs.
The thick-skinned and hard-armored monsters that were originally handled by the tanks were now unattended.
Led by these sharp knives, the monster tide gathered together again and attacked the west with great force.
As a result, the pressure on the Rogue infantry fighting vehicle troops responsible for dealing with them doubled.
The Rogue troops responsible for the second line of defense, Ruger called them infantry fighting vehicle troops, but their core vehicles were just thin-skinned ENOK light armored patrol vehicles.
Not to mention compared with real infantry fighting vehicles, their armor is not as thick as armored transport vehicles.
Although the most types of monsters are melee, there are also many ranged units among them.
In particular, the higher the level and the stronger the ability of the monsters, the more proportion of them are ranged.
Although the long-range attacks of monsters are mainly aimed at the long-range in the cold weapon era, that is, a hundred steps, with a maximum distance of 60 meters to 80 meters, not all monsters' long-range attacks cannot shoot farther.
What's more, there is a way to accumulate a little to make a lot.
So as a new wave of monsters approached, although the ENOKs were equipped with heavy machine guns that could effectively suppress the hell-level monsters within a range of 500 meters, they still had to continue to retreat in order to avoid casualties caused by sporadic long-range attacks.
At this time, the several magic-modified tanks sent by Ruger based on the chassis of the World War II Zoo became the key to helping ENOK complete the retreat.
It can even be said that if these tanks did not help but participated in the siege of Andariel, at least half of those ENOKs would be killed by the monster tide.
But what was the result of such sacrifice?
Those 75mm caliber capped armor-piercing bullets of the horse bears were definitely more than enough to bully the ordinary version of the hell monsters, and there was no problem dealing with the elite version or the enhanced defense version, but against Andariel?
After all, those were just old ammunition with a warhead of less than seven kilograms and a penetration depth of just over 100 mm at a distance of one kilogram.
In order to save costs, Ruger did not distribute many new armor-piercing shells to them.
When Ruger rushed to help Sarah, he also used the 105mm high-pressure rifled gun on his Leopard to test a capped armor-piercing shell APCBC.
As a result, the soft metal cap on the outermost side of the ammunition was corroded soon after entering the poisonous cloud area.
Under wind resistance, the shell quickly deviated from the shape.
Even the APCBC made by Ruger for the 105mm gun was like this. The old shells on the horse bear that were exchanged from the underground arsenal did not need to be considered. If one out of ten hits, it is good.
However, with Andariel's thick skin and flesh, what effect can those small tanks have if they fired twice to hit her once?
So instead of letting them participate in the battle to siege Andariel, it is better to let them play to their greatest advantage and help the ENOK troops complete the retreat.
The only thing that was a bit tangled was the hard-core armor-piercing projectile APCR fired by the 75mm caliber but 70 times caliber tank gun of the Little Leopard, which should be able to pose a certain threat to Andariel.
But after a few hesitations, Ruger finally let it go with the Horse Bear No. 4 to help ENOK.
His idea was that he should also add a trump card insurance to Rogge and others.
In case a monster like Andariel's adjutant rushed over, they would not be able to fight back for a while.
Waiting for Ruger to take the time to help, it would be easy for distant water to not be able to save the nearby fire.
So the battlefield temporarily became like this:
Taking Andariel as the benchmark, the area about six or seven hundred meters long from her east to the original cathedral crypt area fell into the hands of monsters again.
About two or three hundred meters southeast of her, there were two Leopard 2A4 tanks that turned back to help.
Sarah still rode the huge green-haired beast to fight Du An at close range.
Between Sarah and the Leopard 2 is the modified Leopard tank driven by Ruger, whose main gun was replaced with a 105mm high-pressure rifled gun.
The diesel engine horsepower of the Puma infantry fighting vehicle on the modified Leopard is nearly one-third weaker than that of the two Leopard 2s.
However, the design idea of the entire vehicle from the beginning was to let Ruger, wearing a full set of homemade Iron Man armor, operate alone.
In addition, the modified version has at least half a century of time bonus in the field of materials, so the weight of the entire vehicle was controlled within 30 tons, far less than the 45 tons of the original Leopard.
In this way, coupled with the 1080+ horsepower engine, the power-to-weight ratio of this modified little Leopard engine is even higher than the 1500+ horsepower of the Leopard 2A4.
(1080/30=36)\u003e(1500/55≈27)
Therefore, even though Ruger was unable to bring out all of his driving skills because he was wearing a full set of Ironjaman armor, the modified little leopard on the battlefield was much more maneuverable and flexible when fighting Andariel. Two Leopard 2A4s are even better.
Seeing him driving a tank of dozens of tons like a nimble Rogge running through the forest, or doing some fancy things like extreme lane changes, Sarah couldn't help but half-jokingly half-emotionally said, "How about that?" Just come here and be my mount!"
"Don't even think about it! He's my mount!"
Before Luger could speak, Tiya, who was arranging the retreat of Luger's ENOK, immediately turned around and shouted loudly.
"That's not what I meant! That's not the kind of mount I'm talking about!" Sarah replied, somewhat dumbfounded, "Oh, what nonsense am I talking about?"
"Who knows what you are talking about." Tiya didn't know whether she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand. After throwing the Ruger ENOK to a group of Rugers for temporary use, Tiya immediately summoned a small-caliber coil gun. Carry onto the shoulder armor.
She and Luger can now share more than half of the logistics space. As long as Luger agrees, they can use the logistics space as an item courier.
Therefore, Luger's coil gun, which had just been released and had not been used much except for killing a few Nephalem with evil intentions, passed through the logistics space and found its way into Tia's hands.
