However, not all Tyranid creatures are so reckless. A group of summoned Tyranid large flying creatures swooped down from high altitude. They opened their mouths and stretched out the jets in their mouths, spraying a large amount of strong acid towards the sea of fire. This unique strong acid is very
The flames were easily extinguished and several passages were cleared for the Tyranids.
But as soon as they got out of the line of fire, they were greeted by artillery shells falling in a curve. The mortar team from the stronghold began to fire rapidly according to their respective predetermined shooting parameters, projecting air burst grenades aimed at Tyranids at the enemy.
Above.
These artillery shells will detonate when they are more than five meters away from the enemy, scattering a piece of micro-munitions, and explode a second time. Their killing mode is similar to that of air-burst rockets.
In an instant, dust was flying on the ground, and there was a crackling explosion, mixed with flying carapace fragments and stumps. For knife bugs, gunworms or tearing bugs, the lethality of these mortar shells is fatal, and
Even the warrior bugs will suffer heavy damage from intensive shelling. Only the hag beast, a complete assault creature, can be immune to small-caliber shelling.
However, Soshyan has personally inspected the corpses of all the Tyranid creatures he has seen, and he knows their physiological structures very well. It is true that the evil woman beast is covered with plate-like thick chitin carapace, but these carapace do not cover the whole body.
Because this creature crawls on the ground, it cannot have any armor on its abdomen to ensure flexibility. Moreover, its abdomen also has a fetal sac that hatches small Tyranid creatures. It is a very fragile part. The carapace is mainly
On the head, back, legs and parts of the side ribs.
So, when the first evil woman beast appeared in front of the defenders, before it could roar, its huge body exploded directly from the middle, and the entire insect was split in two like a ship hit by a torpedo in the waist.
Landmines are the best weapon to deal with this kind of creature, because its defense structure is very similar to that of a tank, but more comprehensive. The front and back are very hard, and the tail is difficult to attack, but it also has a fragile "chassis".
If you ask what tank soldiers are most afraid of, the first thing is definitely anti-tank mines.
Therefore, outside the stronghold, the defenders deployed a large number of heavy-duty melt mines, specifically designed to deal with large creatures. Their power is enough to destroy them with one shot, and they will not be triggered by small creatures.
Moreover, another characteristic of the Evil Woman Beast is that in order to enhance its frontal defense, its sensing organs have been weakened to the maximum extent. Not only is its eyesight very poor, but its hearing and other senses, including its detector organs, are also very weak. If you don't look carefully, you can't even see it.
The head has eyes, which is almost a whole piece of chitin carapace, so it cannot detect the mines hidden underground.
Within a few minutes, all eight evil women beasts turned into huge biological ruins in the minefield, with pus and organs flowing everywhere.
The Weeper had also used underground explosives to ambush the Mistress Beast before, and the effect was very good, and Soshyan could be considered to have copied their success.
But even so, it still couldn't stop Tyran's pace. Countless knife bugs and gun bugs crossed the sea of fire and iron rain, stepped over the corpses of the same kind, and continued to flow towards the stronghold. Behind them were samurai holding biological firearms.
Insects, their vicious eyes are always fixed on the fortress on the mountain.
Boom boom boom——
There are anti-tank mines, and naturally there are anti-infantry mines. The Tyranids at the front were quickly blown to pieces, like waves crashing on a hard reef.
But not fearing life and death is their most powerful weapon.
"Aim and hit."
As Hayes spoke, he kept firing at the incoming sea of insects. The laser gun kept vibrating in his hands. The high-energy beam pierced the alien skull, scorching the carapace as it passed through and flowed out of the other side.
During the battle, he also noticed the position of other people in the company, and checked the efficiency of their current shooting modes through the miniature tactical meter on his helmet, and always discovered their shortcomings.
On both sides of the position, machine gun towers were spraying blue bullets at the enemies in the distance. The aliens that were hit would first shrink and then burst.
At the same time, the roar of the automatic cannon is also very rhythmic. Their main target is the warrior bugs. Under the powerful direct firepower, the towering Tyranid warrior had to stagger and fall. Its body was covered with single holes and steamed.
Breathe out heat.
Stronghold No. 7 stands above the angry alien ocean, like a hill made of metal and solid stone. The defense towers composed of hemispherical turrets are constantly rotating and rolling, constantly pouring cannonballs and flames on the front.
It is also mixed with flashing plasma and parabolic mortars. The soldiers hardly need to aim, they just need to close their eyes and shoot forward. This is more like a kind of labor than a battle.
"The enemy's speed has slowed down. It seems that they will give up this attack soon."
Bahram was always monitoring the "flow rate" of the Tyranids through his reconnaissance servo skull. He noticed that the number of Tyranids behind them was decreasing, which also meant that they would complete a successful defense.
"The chapter leader is right. Tyranids are not really single-minded beasts. After meaningless investment, they will choose to retreat temporarily and adjust their tactics."
The powerful firepower slowed down the crazy chitin wave. It will not take long for their offensive to quiet down, and the creatures on the front line will be exhausted.
Bahram did not completely focus on the front. He was also always paying attention to the flanks of the stronghold, that is, the cliffs. Soshyan emphasized to all the company commanders the evolutionary nature of the Tyranid creatures. They evolved during the battle.
The speed can be calculated in seconds, so there is no path they "can't walk".
Sure enough, just as the frontal fight was in full swing, Tyron also sent out sneak attackers.
It was a group of giant snake-like Tyranid creatures. Its upper body resembled a Tyranid warrior, with huge sickle claws and tearing claws that resembled a gene stealer. Its lower body was snake-like, but with a large number of inverted claws.
Thorns, they cling to the nearly vertical cliffs and slide silently towards the stronghold above. If no one pays attention, they may be able to directly cross the defense and pour into the stronghold, causing huge damage.
Below them, there seems to be a larger shadow approaching. Using the thermal infrared camera that detects the skull, it can be seen that it is also a huge serpentine Tyranid creature.
"Tyranid units were found, confirmed to be snakes, and large creatures suspected to be pythons. The Tyranids may evolve more creatures that can directly climb mountains in the future. Please pay more attention to the command."
Bahram sent the report to the headquarters of the Snow Palace while issuing new instructions.
"The 1st and 2nd Greedy Vulture Squadrons attack, and the Storm Claw task force is responsible for attacking those large creatures. In addition, each air defense formation is always vigilant in the sky to prevent interference from Tyranid flying creatures."
