"Attention everyone, an unknown convoy appears in the direction of D2. Turn off the jamming system and prepare for battle."
The sound and light communication of the command vehicle issued the above command, and the receiving systems of other vehicles automatically translated it and played it to the crew. This system actually has a fully automatic working mode, but the guard captain is worried that his command error will lead to serious consequences again.
That's why everyone is required to respond on their own, so that even if something goes wrong, they can blame others or say the system is broken.
To the right rear of the convoy, a group of assembly vehicles rushed out of the ravine, dragging dust and rushing towards the convoy. These vehicles had a distinct scavenger style and basically could not belong to other forces. However, this time the caravan's transport vehicle looked
He also looks like a scavenger, and it's a bit embarrassing to say that.
This planet does not have the popular clock directions in various works on Earth, because in this era, except for the nobles in the Paradise District, basically no one has seen a watch with hands. There may have been similar things, but they have all changed with the changes of the previous era.
It died and disappeared, and the effect of the WSAD orientation system that replaced it was the same.
There was no unexpected attack method, and the convoy behaved calmly this time. The classic attack method of scavengers should be like this, and this method is a relaxing target shooting time for the convoy. Vehicle-mounted weapons after system linkage
It is very accurate, and can reasonably allocate targets to avoid wasting firepower. It can often cripple the scavenger team after one round of shooting. The transport vehicles are staggered under the coordination of the system, leaving space to provide more shooting windows.
The scavenger's assembled vehicles move between hills and depressions, and from time to time they will make leaps from high slopes. This is their way of avoiding the automatic aiming system. Although it is not very effective, it can still reduce the probability of being hit. These vehicles
The side of the car is also equipped with claw plows that can be lowered. These things are specially used to create a "dusty" effect, and the dust is the smoke bomb they use to interfere with the aiming system. The small unprotected car body is equipped with high power
The engine and high-strength suspension make these junk-looking things extremely maneuverable, but the disadvantage is that their endurance is extremely poor. In fact, as long as the convoy runs far enough, it can kill the scavengers even without any counterattack.
Left behind because their fuel and batteries can't travel very far.
"The other party has no corresponding communication. It is determined to be a scavenger. Everyone is in combat mode!"
The guard captain confirmed the identity of the enemy in accordance with standard procedures, and then ordered the convoy to start fighting. The weapons that had been aimed at the target stood under the control of the linkage system and began to roar in an instant.
"Bang bang bang bang bang~~~!"
The rate of fire of vehicle-mounted machine guns is not high. This is due to both technical and economic considerations. Most scavenger vehicles have almost no protection, and small-caliber explosive warheads can effectively cause damage as long as they hit, so there is no need to pursue
High-speed strafing only requires accurate shooting. But this also leads to a fatal problem, that is, it cannot effectively fight against heavy targets. When it was attacked in the valley before, it was because these artillery could not break through the defense of the bunker and could not be used.
The high rate of fire effectively suppresses the enemy, which is why the convoy was beaten so badly.
The two steel-framed vehicles at the front of the scavenger convoy were hit and overturned in an instant, rolling and throwing away various fragments of the vehicle body and the driver. These unlucky ones at the head were not protected by the sand and dust, and were immediately killed.
The system is locked as a target. More scavenger vehicles put down their claw plows and started to "pull smoke". Although this will affect mobility and one's own vision, the transport vehicle is a huge and obvious target, and its own mobility far exceeds that of the transport fleet.
, this is a sure way to make money. Although the transport vehicle has huge wheels and can walk on flat ground in the wilderness, it still has to climb the slopes in hilly areas, and once it climbs, it will be damaged due to its huge mass.
They are forced to slow down. No matter how slow or detour the scavenger's car is, they can still catch up with the convoy. All they have to do is stop one or two cars as fast as possible to win.
Hunters do not play much role in this kind of long-distance mobile warfare, so they are now guarding the end of the team to prevent scavengers from approaching for boarding battles. Although these transport vehicles have heavy armor, the cabins will be blown up after being climbed on.
If you cover it, it will be doomed. There can be no more than three people in the car, and they are still technicians with little combat effectiveness, so they are unable to resist. Therefore, destroying the enemy within the range is the best way to defend the convoy, while the bounty hunters
It is the insurance after the line of defense fails.
Under the interference of sand and dust, the hit rate of the automatic aiming system dropped sharply. The biggest natural enemies of these devices that rely on optical enemy tracking are all kinds of fog and dust. Even in this era, there is no good solution. At this time
, the second role of the bounty hunter comes to the fore.
"It's time to get to work!"
"What are you doing?"
"Indicate the target!"
"What instructions?"
"It's not a laser pointer. You just pick it up and shine it on the enemy! Be careful not to shine it on the dust, but try to shine it on the car!"
"Oh, I don't want it! I don't want to kill anyone!"
"I didn't ask you to kill! I just asked you to mark the target! No need to shoot!"
"That's an accomplice too!"
"Are you stupid? How many times have I told you, if you don't kill them, you will..."
"Whoosh~!" "Thump!"
"Yeah~!"
"Look! The other party won't be reluctant to kill you! Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"
"Oh~ I don't want to~~~!"
Raeder whimpered and picked up the laser pointer, shining it at the dusty scavengers all the way behind. There wasn't much dust between the convoy and the enemy, so the sighting equipment could identify one's own laser irradiation, but it relied on image recognition.
The system cannot detect targets in the dust.
With the assistance of the hunters, the vehicle-mounted turret started shooting again. However, because the manual instructions on the bumpy vehicle were not stable, the hit rate was still not very ideal, but finally the results were achieved. In fact, at this time, experienced shooters
Directly controlling the turret to fire can achieve better results, but because the guard captain did not issue relevant instructions, these weapon operators who are good at obedience can only control the body machine guns for auxiliary shooting. These machine guns do not have advanced fire control systems.
It completely relies on the operator's manual aiming, and for economic reasons, only small-caliber ammunition is fired, and the rate of fire is not very high. The scavenger's vehicle is difficult to aim as it rushes back and forth, and the range of fire of the vehicle's machine gun is also limited.
At most, it can only be used to push back the guys rushing to both sides of the convoy.
The complete destruction of the scavenger convoy by the transport convoy actually only exists in an ideal situation, that is, the other party does not make any interference, stupidly rushes straight over on the plains, and is all killed by the turret. However, after so many years, the scavengers have long been
No longer such fools, they have also developed corresponding counter-attack tactics. Therefore, under actual conditions, although the scavengers are at a disadvantage, they are not helpless to fight back, and they are almost impossible to be wiped out by a volley.
situations that will arise.
Because the people on the team's side have been at an advantage for a long time, their personal combat effectiveness is actually not very high. They rely entirely on their equipment advantages, and experienced bounty hunters exist to make up for this disadvantage. The team's standard tactics are actually to use
Suppress the enemy with firepower to prevent them from getting closer, and then delay the pursuit until the opponent runs out of fuel and gives up the pursuit.
"Team H4 has discovered a large enemy vehicle, bearing S0. Its characteristics cannot be identified for the time being. It may have heavy firepower. Pay attention to defense."
A group of hunters issued an early warning, and the hunters at the end of the group immediately maneuvered their vehicles to disperse to avoid being called out. The recent scavengers always came up with unexpected "surprises," so they had to be more careful.
"Conduct a test shot!"
The guard captain gave the order, and the transport vehicle at the end of the team immediately changed its target and fired at the huge silhouette in the dust. The hunters tensed up and tried to see what it was. They did not use the weapons on the vehicle to help, because in the
At this distance, it's basically a waste of ammunition.
The shell exploded on the scavenger's large vehicle, and the flames and debris caused the scavenger's light vehicle, which was already jumping up and down, to scatter further. However, the target seemed not to have suffered much damage and was still accelerating towards the convoy.
"The target is a heavy-duty vehicle. No visible weapons were found. It is presumed to be a scavenger transport vehicle!"
"Ignore the target, focus on the scavenger fast vehicle."
The guard captain made another judgment. Since it was just a "target" with high defense and no attack power, then attacking it would fall into the enemy's scheme, and he must not fall for it.
"Tsk~ It feels wrong, we may be in big trouble again."
Xiao Wu poked her head out from the hatch on the top of the cab and looked back. She was using the high heels of her boots to hold the steering wheel to control the vehicle. As for stepping on the accelerator, there was no need for it. The accelerator of this car was similar to the throttle of an airplane.
The control lever is like a valve. Push it to a certain position to activate cruise control.
"What's the trouble? What did you find again?"
Raeder panicked as soon as she heard this, and hurriedly loaded the grenade launcher installed on the truck body. She completely forgot about things like "not wanting to kill people". Xiao Wu said that if there is trouble, there must be trouble, and there is also trouble.
It will be very serious.
"Everyone pay attention and do your best to prevent the enemy transport vehicle from approaching. I suspect it is a bomb truck!"
Xiao Wu shouted loudly on the public channel.
"What? Such a big bomb truck?"
“‘Somewhere swears’ is too generous!”
"Are all those lunatics crazy?"
"Where did they get so many explosives?"
The hunters were confused for a moment in the channel, but they regained their composure with the help of professionalism and steered the vehicles to both sides away from the convoy in order to attack the scavenger transport vehicle from the side. Doing so would lose their own firepower.
Protection, but there is no way to do it in an emergency.
"Are you sure your judgment is correct?"
The guard captain also panicked. Even a transport truck couldn't withstand such a big vehicle if it exploded. But he couldn't easily trust Xiao Wu's judgment. Disrupting the formation at will would cause danger to the convoy.
"uncertain!"
Xiao Wu replied confidently.
"Then you will give orders on my behalf?"
"I didn't give the order~ They followed it voluntarily!"
"you……"
Xiao Wu was absolutely right, because she had left an extremely strong impression on everyone before, so everyone subconsciously followed her words once she spoke.
"Anyway, that car must be blocked. If it gets close, there will definitely be big trouble. This is my experience!"
"...Attention, everyone, block that transport truck!"
The guard captain felt aggrieved, but considering that the other party was a very powerful elite hunter, he decided to adopt Xiao Wu's advice.
"We arrive at the flank, ready to fire at any time and request friendly cover."
"Cars No. 27 and 28 cover the flanking hunters. Cars No. 29 and 30 switch to manual mode to suppress the target group with fire. All hunters target local transport vehicles and start attacking!"
