Bang!
The Spider Mecha stomped down, crushing Ruan Chengfu to death; everything above his chest was turned into mincemeat, leaving a pit filled with a mixture of flesh and bone shards.
Hao Guyu didn’t care what he had stepped on. He coordinated with the Genetic Warriors and Super Soldiers to continue advancing, clearing trench after trench.
The soldiers lying in ambush within the trench tunnels would be dealt with by Genetic Warriors leaping into the trenches, while the exposed fire points were destroyed one by one by the Spider Mecha.
Their cooperation was seamless. The fortifications, bristling with various machine gun bunkers, which a battalion of infantry would struggle to capture in half a day, were breached as easily as tearing through paper with the deployment of just one Spider Mecha and a few heavily armed soldiers.
Although the depth of the Kerimu Defense Line was vast, the efficiency of the coordinated mechanized infantry assault was still extremely fast, capturing trench after trench.
“We’ve advanced three kilometers. The Eye Worm’s recon shows no enemy fire points ahead, I’ll take you all to the next enemy sector. Can you still hold up?”
Hao Guyu had just cleared an area of Siam Soldiers’ covert combat fortifications, killing most of them with the 203mm main cannon, followed by the Super Soldiers finishing off the badly injured Siam Soldiers.
At this point, his position was somewhat deep, and he had begun to separate from the main armored forces behind him.
“No problem, we still have the strength,” replied Cao Yangchun, shrugging his shoulders and signaling a few Super Soldiers to come over. Together, they climbed back on top of the Spider Mecha, sitting on its top.
The Spider Mecha then sped up, conserving their strength as it carried them to the next enemy defense line.
The Super Soldiers on the mecha’s back rested while retrieving ammunition provided by the meat tumor from the open hatch, replenishing their own weapons.
The Spider Mecha, with its hundreds of tons of combat weight, had plenty of capacity to supply several infantrymen’s ammunition needs.
Whoo!!!
However, while they were en route, suddenly a screaming sound came from the sky.
A shell landed, blasting a deep crater forty meters away from the Spider Mecha, and shards of flying rocks battered against the Spider Mecha’s body.
“Artillery!”
“Spread out and take cover!”
“Use the mech as shelter.”
Shouts rose from atop the A-180 Spider Mecha, and Cao Yangchun and the others, well-trained, flipped down from atop the mecha and used the body of the Spider Main Battle Mecha as cover. They grabbed onto the handrails and indentations on the upper part of the Spider Main Battle Mecha, moving to the area where the mecha’s belly and long legs joined.
The belly of the Spider Mecha was slightly indented inward, equipped with grab hooks and safety straps, allowing the men to hide within the insides of the long legs and under the belly of the Spider Main Battle Mecha. The Spider Mecha’s metal legs were exceptionally sturdy, and with the inward curve of the belly, they provided more than enough cover for a person.
“It seems Siam can’t hold back their artillery anymore,” realized Hao Guyu. The Siamese Army, evidently unable to handle the rapid advance of the mechanical army, had deployed their hidden artillery to counterattack.
As soon as Hao Guyu had this thought, he controlled the Spider Main Battle Mecha to quickly move from the spot. Not long after they had moved, several fireballs exploded around their previous position.
From the firepower of the enemy’s artillery, it was clear that they were shelling with 155mm howitzers.
Yet relying on howitzers to destroy Spider Mecha was unrealistic—trajectory shells had a large deviation, threatening the Spider Mecha only if they luckily hit its main body. Clearly, the goal was to obliterate the Genetic Warriors and Super Soldiers.
Fortunately, the robust bodies and meat tumors of these mechas were sufficiently effective at absorbing shrapnel and shockwaves.
“That was close!”
Bits of shrapnel smacked against the long metal legs of the Spider Mecha where Cao Yangchun hung, creating shallow dents and sending a chill down his spine.
But this was only the beginning as suddenly, the sky lit up with red trails.
These were dozens of 122mm rockets carpet bombing the area, a relentless pursuit by the Siamese Artillery born either from determination or deep resentment to kill the Genetic Warriors.
Logically, such carpet bombing with rockets, given their lack of precision, would rarely hit a moving Spider Mecha, but coincidences do happen, and this time it did.
A rocket landed squarely on the Spider Mecha’s main body, the high-intensity warhead bursting open at the top, ripping apart and warping the armor, scattering the internal meat tumors.
One of the Spider Mecha’s long legs broke, causing its massive frame to sway. It was severely damaged by the blast.
Below the Spider Mecha, Cao Yangchun and his companions felt a surge of nausea and disorientation.
Thanks to the Spider Mecha’s strong defense, its outer armor and meat tumors effectively countered the shrapnel and shock waves.
Therefore, even with a direct hit on top, Cao Yangchun and the others, sheltered beneath its belly, survived due to the absorbed kinetic energy.
“What crappy luck, hang tight, I’m going to move.”
Hao Guyu yelled out, accelerating the Spider Mecha’s movement to dodge the Siamese Artillery’s covering fire.
The Spider Main Battle Mecha ran at full speed, with Cao Yangchun and others clinging underneath between its long legs like koala joeys clutching their mother, gently swaying with the mecha’s run. They could only hold tightly to the hanging supports and wrap the safety straps tightly around their waists to secure themselves.
Once they ran out of the bombing area, the Spider Mecha was charred black with smoke, its body riddled with a dense pattern of shallow pits from the artillery shrapnel, and two metal legs were broken. Its top had cracked opened, exposing the slowly writhing meat tumors inside, which were gradually starting to regenerate.
“Bastard, it’s my turn now.”
Hao Guyu saw the position of the enemy artillery plotted on the biological radar. With its unique capabilities and aided by the Eye Worms in the sky, it could also partly function as counter-battery radar.
The 203mm main cannon raised high, guided by the ballistic trajectory calculated by the biological radar. Hao Guyu fired without hesitation.
A 125kg shell flew out of the cannon at 980 meters per second, speeding over dozens of kilometers, eventually exploding in a hollow 27 kilometers away.
When the shell hit the ground, it burst with extraordinary power, typical of a 203mm shell.
The targeted artillery position housed a battalion-sized force with fifteen towed field guns and two 40-barrel rocket launchers.
When the Spider Mecha’s high explosive bomb went off, it directly destroyed one of the rocket launchers. The blast wave flung the artillerymen into the air, blasting a large crater nearly seven to eight meters deep in their place, littering the vicinity with limbs and body parts.
