Chapter 21 This Is How We Engage in Party Struggles (Please Read! Please Collect!)
Titan, when it appears on the enemy's position, is the nightmare of infantry.
But if it is to cover its own side and falls from the sky.
It is the patron saint of infantry.
Viscount Ankarin had not planned to call the orbital attack ship to airdrop the Titan so early.
But the federal main battle tanks that are wreaking havoc on the streets cannot be dealt with for a while.
This long-standing land warfare weapon has been slowly withdrawing from the battlefield in the era of directed energy weapons flying all over the sky.
But since the deflection force field technology was deployed from space battleships, and superconducting batteries became more and more popular.
Main battle tanks have actually enjoyed a wave of "version bonuses".
Driven by a combination of high-power gas turbines and superconducting battery packs, main battle tanks have achieved higher output than before.
Not only can they be equipped with stronger armor, but also equipped with large-caliber straight and curved dual-purpose electrothermal chemical guns.
"'Red Wolf' access the channel!"
So he has more than just one regiment of orbital paratroopers.
Then they heard that heavenly voice in the communication channel.
Then they kicked both the man and the Titan down.
So facing the order of the big boss, the airdrop coordinator on the ship could only quickly run to the HCP squadron to find the bravest one.
"Don't worry about the others, just throw one down first and knock over the tank in front of me, thank you!"
He immediately asked the other party to airdrop the "grandfather" for support.
Even if the infantry has evolved to the situation of "all exoskeletons + all Gauss rifles".
Of course, if there is a father, there will naturally be a grandfather.
"In an emergency, use my position as the airdrop coordinates directly, and let the driver make fine adjustments at the end of the airdrop!"
As an imperial noble, Viscount Ankarin is also the leader of the "Blood Dragon Group" appointed by the emperor.
So when Viscount Ankarin relayed through the company's signalman to contact the orbital attack ship above his head.
When this powerful confinement magnetic field enveloped the tank.
It can also operate a low-power deflection field with the support of a superconducting battery pack.
The four orbital attack ships responsible for carrying the Blood Dragon Group were also under his direct command.
Viscount Ankarin and other members of the noble team on the ground went through a long and tormenting 10 minutes.
Most weapons attacks could not break through its defense.
HCP is the grandfather of the main battle tank.
Finally, a roar was heard from the sky, followed by an explosion.
That was the sound of HCP leaving the airborne capsule after completing the atmospheric penetration.
Your main battle tank father is still the father.
"It has entered the terminal airborne phase and is ready for ground support!"
"My lord, request target guidance!"
The rough voice of the HCP driver sounded like the voice of a war angel in the ears of Viscount Ankarin and others.
He immediately led several members of the noble team around him to conduct laser guidance through the gap in the bunker.
The crew members in the main battle tank also immediately received the alarm of the laser omnidirectional warning device.
But before they could call the mobile infantry around the tank to interfere with the opponent's laser guidance.
A plasma beam with a hint of blue in white fell from the sky.
After being hit by the plasma heated to tens of millions of degrees, the deflection field generator of this main battle tank was instantly overloaded.
The tank's armor plate melted like butter.
Then, the superconducting battery pack was detonated.
The "little sun" produced by the explosion not only directly engulfed the tank, but also engulfed the surrounding mobile infantry that were coordinating with infantry and tanks.
The Titan that completed the dangerous distance fire support, while retracting the small heavy particle cannon behind its shoulder.
It also released two strings of heat-induced bombs like red wings behind it.
In the firelight of two portable surface-to-air missiles that were detonated, this red-painted Titan, slowed down by the plasma propulsion array on its back, completed the landing.
"Red Wolf has arrived on the battlefield, salute you, Lord Viscount!"
Behind the tall body of the red Titan, in the night sky lit up by artillery fire and explosions.
More and more airdrop capsules are still falling.
With the support of HCP, the advance of the orbital paratroopers can be said to be like entering an empty land.
Most of the lightly armored targets were blown up by the 50mm Gauss rifles in the hands of HCP.
If they encountered a tough enemy like a main battle tank, the Red Wolf would directly deploy the small heavy particle cannon mounted on the shoulder and fire a shot at the target.
If one shot is not enough, then another shot will be fired.
On the ground, no unit can compare the output power with the HCP equipped with a subcritical reactor.
The HCP of the Yasin base was also destroyed along with the base hangar in the first round of orbital strikes.
When Viscount Ankarin led his noble team and an HCP to advance to the communication center.
Most of the battles in the Yasin base were also coming to an end.
After more and more imperial orbital paratroopers and HCPs landed, the surviving defenders lost their firepower advantage and were quickly divided and annihilated.
At the gate of the communication center, Viscount Ankarin also successfully joined the "Tail Needle" who had lurked in the Yasin base earlier.
"Emperor, you are finally here! We must quickly confirm the situation in the core communication room."
'Tail Needle' did not exchange too many pleasantries with Viscount Ankarin.
After losing contact with 'Judas', he always felt that something might have gone wrong here.
But during the fierce exchange of fire between the base defenders and the landing troops, he never found a chance to sneak in.
In this way, they waited until Ankarin and others arrived.
"My men have lost contact. I suspect that the two naval intelligence officers who were traveling with him have mutinied."
"Naval intelligence agent? Mutiny?"
Upon hearing the words of 'Tail Needle', Viscount Ankarin's eyes suddenly raised.
"This crime is not a small one. Do you have any definite evidence?"
"Of course, I had evidence that one of them had betrayed him three days ago."
After the leading orbital paratroopers sent back a safe signal, Tail Needle immediately led Ankarin and others into the communication center.
At this time, after thinking about the forces behind the Naval Intelligence Department and Star Dragon Fang.
Viscount Ankarin felt like he understood something.
"My Lord Marquis, it seems that you want me to make a choice."
At the same time, the 'Tail Needle' who was walking in front suddenly asked:
"I heard that the commander-in-chief of your fleet, the Marquis of Ascania, seems to have a good relationship with the regent?"
"Well, I can't answer this question, but it is said that their personal relationship is indeed good."
"I see."
‘Tail Needle’ slowed down his pace and walked to a position alongside Viscount Ankarin.
Then he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"What about you, Lord Viscount? I heard that the regent is recruiting talented people. At this time when the empire is in turmoil, many nobles have pledged their allegiance to the regent."
"Me? Hahaha"
Viscount Ankarin burst out laughing. He had completely understood the 'story behind' this mission.
And the direction of things is also the direction he least wants to see.
"Of course I am loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."
Hearing Viscount Ankarin's answer, 'Tail Needle' laughed twice, and then walked to the front again.
"Oh? It seems that you are really a loyal minister of the empire~"
