Since the transport plane was not flying very high, a Marine only staggered for two steps after landing and regained his balance. Then he picked up his rifle and tried to see who shot down the transport plane.
The next second, he saw the giant bipedal machine in front of him, which was nearly ten meters tall. It used its honeycomb-like "head" to release anti-aircraft missiles into the air, and at the same time it moved its "hands" on the rotating, blazing machine.
The machine gun was aimed at him.
"...Shet."
Da da da da——!
The powerful thrust of the bullet knocked the unlucky Marine far away. Just looking at the badly damaged power armor and the bright red that kept bursting out of it, you knew that he had lost the value of saving him.
"The Federation's tactical manual for 'psychic infusion' should be updated," Renault, who was behind a nearby bunker, looked at the clone troopers flying away and shook his head: "I didn't immediately find a bunker after landing, but I actually planned to observe the surrounding situation."
"He at least helped us determine the firepower of the 'Goliath', which is not worthless." Tychus spit out his gum and then continued.
Does that kind of thing need confirmation? Renault looked at the flashes and roars that continued to erupt under the leaden clouds, and shrugged without comment.
The transport plane he was on had crashed on the other side of the mountain. Fortunately, there was no explosion. The driver probably survived. But the one carrying the tank was not so lucky. Because of its heavy load, it could not escape.
The rain of missiles that came from the store barely managed to drop one tank before it exploded in the air.
As the escort targets were under attack, more than a dozen Phantom fighter jets began to intercept those missiles, and having exposed themselves to a certain extent, they were also counterattacked by anti-aircraft fire.
It was obvious that the Minmatar commander did not intend to play rock-paper-scissors at the supply depot, and directly chose the ultimate tactic of strengthening anti-aircraft firepower and not giving the Federation forces a chance to airdrop.
"Goliath" armed robots and "Valkyrie" missile fighters are both heavy equipment that are excellent in the air but weak against the ground. If a federal transport plane accidentally breaks through the defense line and airdrops troops, everything will basically be lost.
But now it seems they are doing pretty well?
"We have to do something, otherwise this mission will fail." Raynor pointed at the missile groups flying high into the sky on the Minmatar position, turned to Tychus and said.
"This is an easy job," Tychus clicked the rifle in his hand with a inducing grenade: "The first step is to rush up, the second step is to blow it up."
"... Please postpone your first step plan for a minute." Raynor wordlessly grabbed Tychus' arm armor, and then issued instructions through the command system to the nearby clone troopers to cover each other and approach.
"Let's rock and roll! Guys! (Ro roll!)"
"GoGoGo!"
The shouts of the clone soldiers came from the headset of Raynor's helmet, and at the same time, the green outline of twelve nearby soldiers was displayed on the mask.
This is the authority possessed by "noncommissioned officer-level" natural soldiers. They can directly issue orders to up to twelve clone soldiers as long as the orders issued do not conflict with higher-ranking commanders.
The maximum number of lieutenant officers is 200. As for the colonel officer... the commander of Fortress Howe is only a lieutenant colonel.
The soldiers followed the instructions sent to them by Renault meticulously, quickly darting between different bunkers, gradually approaching the Goliath robot, and finally threw a few sticky grenades at it after reaching the range.
Boom boom boom!
The Goliath robot's mechanical legs were blown off and it fell to the ground. The clone soldiers completely ignored its tragic situation, and after a slight alternation, they threw the same number of sticky grenades at its head, directly destroying the Goliath robot.
The giant machinery exploded into scrap metal.
"Okay, let's go." Raynor gave up the command of these soldiers, set their action mode to "commission", and then waved to Tychus.
"Hmph, one minute and seven seconds, you've timed out." Tychus carried his gun and followed Renault and the clone troopers who continued to advance with a very dissatisfied tone.
Renault did not respond to this. Although commanding clone soldiers is the prerogative of every natural officer, Tychus is not good at it at all. If he is asked to command, there will only be one order: "All troops attack!"
Because he himself will rush to the front line after giving orders, the current record is still more wins than losses. However, with this kind of unskilled style of play, the wins are big wins and the losses are big defeats.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Although the aerial battlefield was still in a stalemate, the ground troops gradually gathered together. After Renault saw several Goliath robots fall from a distance, the roar of siege tanks even came from behind his own front line.
After all, each unit cannot be omnipotent. If it is good at air defense, it will not be able to cause effective damage to ground troops. If this situation continues, the supply depot on the Minmatar side should not be saved, unless they have some other surprise troops-
sough!
As soon as Renault thought of this, he heard a whistling wind coming from far away. Since he was familiar with most machinery, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
The next second, several mechanical vehicles that looked like a sharp triangle but had only a motorcycle-sized cockpit drove into the battlefield at high speed.
The vulture car has average firepower but extremely fast speed. Renault has one of its own. The grenades it throws are not very powerful, but its other function is really troublesome. I hope they don't have that thing installed...
Swish swish——
Contrary to expectations, while the vulture car convoy was speeding along, they also buried pale metal spheres on their route at extremely high speeds.
They were buried underground for less than three seconds before they jumped up one after another and rushed towards the nearby federal soldiers at extremely high speeds with their eight slender mechanical legs that had just grown out.
Boom boom——!
Along with bursts of smoke and roar, the green outlines representing clone troopers displayed inside Renault's helmet changed color instantly, from green to yellow, then from yellow to red, and finally disappeared from sight with the sound of explosions.
"Damn it, it's a Terror Drone! Don't let them get close!" Reno picked up his rifle and started shooting at the mechanical spiders that were approaching with their claws and fangs.
This kind of thing, which is generally used to destroy heavy ground vehicles, is not impossible to use against individual soldiers, but it is really wasteful. How many strange types of troops did the Minmatar commander arrange for this supply depot?
Zhizhi——
The drivers of the Vulture vehicles buried all the spider mines they carried, threw a few grenades at random and turned around a few times before planning to return the same way.
"You pissed me off, boy!"
Tychus obviously didn't intend to suffer the loss of being dumb, so he rushed out and blew up a Vulture with two shots.
Then, a spider mine that had lost its original target and was wandering nearby jumped directly on him.
