Chapter 569 Seized
Just as the auxiliary soldiers launched an attack like a tiger descending from a mountain, the Apocalypse tanks in the rear roared like giant steel beasts, spitting out hot flames from their muzzles, and powerful shells whizzed towards the positions of the planetary defense forces.
At the same time, the Chimera armored troop carrier was not to be outdone. The onboard machine guns fired dense rain of bullets, which intertwined into a deadly firepower network and suppressed the enemy.
With such powerful firepower support, the planetary defense force's position was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire.
The formerly sturdy fortifications were blasted to smithereens, sending clouds of dust billowing into the air, obscuring the sun. With a resounding explosion, the entire position trembled, finally crumbling under the ferocious assault of the auxiliary troops.
Seeing that the time had come, the auxiliary soldiers, under the solid fire cover provided by the Apocalypse tanks and Chimera armored transport vehicles, rushed into the position of the planetary defense force with an overwhelming force.
They were all dressed in power armor and armed with advanced weapons and equipment, as brave and unstoppable as the gods of war.
Faced with the fierce offensive of the auxiliary army soldiers, the soldiers of the planetary defense force still put up a stubborn resistance, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.
The auxiliary soldiers pulled the triggers mercilessly, and laser beams and bullets hit the targets accurately. One after another, the enemy soldiers holding weapons fell down with screams.
However, the auxiliary troops did not intend to kill them all. They kept shouting through the external loudspeakers of their power armor: "Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The deafening sound resounded across the battlefield, echoing in everyone's ears over and over again.
Some soldiers who had just been forcibly recruited into the planetary defense force were simply unable to withstand the extreme fear and threat of death brought about by the war.
Amidst these well-intentioned calls for surrender, their psychological defenses finally collapsed, and one soldier after another slowly laid down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands in surrender.
The shouts and sounds of gunfire on the battlefield gradually subsided, and only the words "those who surrender will not be killed" were still floating in the air.
In the fierce battle, one after another, the strong positions of the planetary defense forces, although they had been placed with high hopes, were like paper and were easily broken through under the powerful and tacit double attack of the auxiliary troops and the Space Marines.
Faced with such a fierce attack, those brave but disproportionately strong soldiers of the planetary defense force were completely unable to resist and were defeated one after another. Among them, a large number of soldiers voluntarily surrendered and became prisoners of the auxiliary army.
Two important industrial worlds in the Volas galaxy were completely destroyed in less than half a day under the fierce and violent attack of the Raptor Regiment.
The speed of victory in these two battles was astonishing.
When the auxiliary army successfully took complete control of the two industrial worlds of Volas, they did not slack off at all, but immediately began to carry out a comprehensive sorting of various weapons and equipment seized in this battle.
After a careful inventory, the harvest was quite rich: there were a total of 25 Conqueror tanks alone, and more than 150 Chimera armored troop carriers!
In addition, there were thousands of ordinary artillery pieces of various types, as well as two powerful volcano cannons. This dazzling array of spoils undoubtedly greatly enhanced the Raptor Regiment's armaments.
Standing before the numerous captured tanks, Dalaran felt an indescribable joy. If the Chimera armored transports and various tanks currently in the regiment were added together, the total number would be approaching an astonishing 500!
Counting the terrifyingly powerful Apocalypse tanks, the entire Raptor Regiment now possesses nearly a thousand tanks! Such a large and well-equipped armored force lineup is a super-luxury configuration that was simply unimaginable in the past!
Ralph stared at the unconcealable joy on Dalaran's face with his sharp eyes, and slowly asked:
"Master, we have captured a large number of tanks this time. However, I feel that their combat effectiveness is still somewhat unsatisfactory.
Do you think there is any good way to make them more powerful?"
Ever since he witnessed the Apocalypse Tank's astonishing offensive and defensive capabilities, Ralph began to look down on the Predator Tank, Conqueror Tank, and even the Chimera Armored Transport Vehicle, tanks without shield protection that he once prided himself on.
Although the Raptor Regiment now has a total of 500 majestic Apocalypse Tanks, this number is still far from enough compared to the auxiliary army that has now expanded to a million in size.
There was no other choice. In order to meet combat needs, the Conqueror tanks and Chimera armored personnel carriers captured from the battlefield had to be incorporated into the equipment sequence of the auxiliary army.
After hearing Ralph's question, Dalaran slowly swept his eyes over the neatly arranged and diversely shaped tank formations in front of him.
Each tank exudes a cold metallic luster, but compared to the Apocalypse tanks in our impression, they clearly lack a layer of crucial shield protection.
A powerful Apocalypse Tank, with the support of its shield, can fearlessly face the fierce attacks of hundreds of enemy tanks of different models.
The incredibly strong shield was like an indestructible wall, easily withstanding the enemy's surging artillery fire. When the Apocalypse Tank began to counterattack, the terrifying destructive power it displayed was even more astonishing - with just a single round of artillery fire, it could completely destroy the surrounding enemy tanks one by one.
Thinking of this, Dalaran couldn't help but rub his chin and muttered to himself:
"If we can equip all of these tanks with force shields, then even if we're surrounded by dozens of tanks of the same level, we'll be able to easily annihilate them all."
His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had already seen the spectacular scene on the battlefield where his own tanks were fighting ten tanks at a time and were invincible.
Ralph, standing by, shattered Dalaran's beautiful fantasy. He sighed helplessly, then warned:
"Master, the military merits we have accumulated so far are far from enough to meet the demand for installing field shields on hundreds of tanks."
This bucket of cold water immediately brought Dalaran back to his senses from his reverie.
However, Dalaran was not discouraged. After a brief silence, he suddenly had an idea, as if he had thought of something good:
"Although our current military achievements are indeed limited, don't forget that we still have a batch of equipment maintenance robots on hand! I just wonder if these robots have the ability to manufacture position shield generators?"
