At this time, information about this heavy tank had already appeared in Li Xin's chip.
Skullcrusher heavy tank.
The main gun is a heavy plasma jet cannon.
The secondary weapon is a 14.5mm electromagnetic machine gun.
The armor is made of the same material as the Gladius Sergeant's mecha, also a D-grade military alloy.
This heavy tank can also be equipped with external armor to enhance its defense.
The crew consists of five people, except for the lack of a psychic to activate the void shield. The thickness and defensive power of the armor are even stronger than those of a mecha.
The long-range combat capability of this tank is not inferior to that of a mecha, and is even stronger.
After all, mechas like the Dagger Sergeant cannot penetrate the void shield of mechas of the same level with one shot, but the Skullcrusher can.
After seeing this tank and its heavy plasma jet cannon, Li Xin felt that even sitting in the mecha might not be safe.
Heavy plasma jet cannon, this is an energy weapon, one shot will overload the D-level void shield. If you are lucky, the mecha may be penetrated along with the void shield.
If you are unlucky, then another shot can directly kill the D-class mecha.
Even a C-level void shield can only resist two more plasma jets.
Li Xin asked Jiang Lou, who was standing beside him, "We have skull crushers, so does the enemy have weapons that can counter them?"
Jiang Lou's eyes were still fixed on the Skullcrusher heavy tank. He said, "Don't worry, there must be one!"
"It depends on this battle whether they will use it."
"Anyway, we need to be careful in this battle."
"We advanced smoothly before because we hadn't encountered such a strong defensive stronghold. Now, it's hard to say."
Li Xin made a bold guess and said, "The last time we were ambushed, we didn't encounter this kind of heavy tank. Master, do you think the enemy doesn't have such tanks in the Behemoth Steel Plant?"
Jiang Lou shook his head and said, "I don't know what the enemy is thinking, and I'm not sure about the specific information about the enemy's vehicles."
"But it's always better to be cautious. This time, the weapons need to be updated."
Li Xin nodded and said, "Master, what updates are being made to the weapons?"
"Everyone should add an additional alloy armor shield and load it onto the left arm."
"Yes! Master!"
…
After returning from the vehicle loading and unloading yard, the maintenance team in the hangar began to get busy again.
They changed the hanging position of the Dagger Sergeant's weapons, and moved the six-wheeled electromagnetic cannon and the plasma cannon to the two sides under the left arm.
This will somewhat affect the center of gravity of the weapon, but it's not a big problem.
At the same time, he took out a knight's kite-shaped shield. This armored alloy shield was four and a half meters high and three meters wide.
The thickness is even thicker than the Dagger Servant's own armor. If holding this shield, the Dagger Servant's movement speed will be reduced by 12%.
But if you hold this shield, even if your movement speed is reduced, it's worth it.
First of all, the armor itself is such that ordinary enemy anti-tank missiles cannot penetrate it at all.
Moreover, the shield itself has a deflection force field, which can directly divert some enemy attacks to other places.
This can directly reduce the defensive pressure of the Void Shield, of course this is just one point.
Li Xin and his men were worried that the enemy had heavy weapons like the Skullcrusher. With this shield, even if the Void Shield was broken by a single shot, they would be able to withstand any damage.
With an extra armored shield, it would be no problem to withstand the blow from the overloaded void shield.
This gives the mecha more time to escape and react.
Li Xin’s mecha weapons are basically the same as before.
The left arm is equipped with a six-wheeled electromagnetic machine gun and a plasma cannon, while the right arm is a melee weapon, a power halberd.
On the shoulders, there are still two Sawtooth Ant twelve-mounted 105 rocket nests.
The defense has an additional armor shield, and external armor is also worn.
The external armor last time also saved Li Xin's life. If it weren't for this armor, his cockpit might have been chopped open by the enemy long ago.
However, thick armor also has disadvantages. The first is the movement speed. External armor will reduce the speed by 10%, and armored shields will reduce the speed by 12%.
Overall, the speed of the Dagger Sergeant has been reduced by one-fifth, but fortunately the armor shield can be discarded at any time.
If you need to turn around but are not fast enough, it is not a problem to just throw away the armor shield.
Although the price of this armor shield may cost Li Xin several years' salary, that is not a problem, as this is the money spent by the group.
The weapons of Jiang Lou and Feng Dai were no different from the last battle, Jiang Lou just had an extra armored shield.
Feng Dai added a little more, and he also reloaded the rocket pod. It seemed that Li Xin's rocket bombing last time still made him feel that this weapon was very useful.
…
A new round of battle begins again.
Li Xin and his men have already entered the front-line stronghold.
Here stayed all the soldiers and commanders who were needed to launch the attack this time.
Inside the mecha cockpit, Li Xin was looking at a map projected from the chip.
Here is the map of the large warehouse area we saw earlier.
Lu Quan's voice from the command center came to my ears.
"Attention all units, this is the target of this operation."
"Area B3 is also a large warehouse area. I believe you have all read the basic information about this area."
"There are a total of eight large warehouses here. Previously, the Fifth Mech Support Group, along with its supporting infantry and armored troops, were ambushed here."
"Now, according to the latest intelligence, the defenses here have been strengthened again. Since there's no need for an ambush, many of the fortifications are now directly exposed."
"The enemy is bound to stop us here for a while. Judging from the current situation, this is not a place that can be easily taken."
"In this battle, the fifth and sixth mecha support teams will join as mecha troops."
"In addition to the mecha troops, there will be two platoons of skull crushers, a total of six skull crusher tanks, as fire support."
"As for Hengan's defense, they will deploy an infantry battalion, a tank company, and an armored company as the main force of the attack."
"In the rear, we will deploy two howitzer batteries to provide heavy fire support for this operation."
"I hope everyone can completely eliminate this enemy defensive stronghold within three days!"
"Yes!!" Everyone responded loudly.
