Another Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle saw several vehicles being blown up and chose to fight back bravely, controlling the vehicle-mounted M242 25mm chain gun and unleashing a fierce barrage at the Spider Main Battle Mecha. Tracers drew purple chains of light, hitting the Spider Main Battle Mecha with a rapid crackling sound.
However, to their despair, the defense of the Spider Main Battle Mecha was so strong that the 25mm machine gun fire felt like scratching an itch, not even penetrating the exterior armor. The bullets either deflected off the sloped armor or turned into lumps of metal falling to the ground.
The Spider Main Battle Mecha, capable of effectively resisting even tank main guns, was an impossible target to deal with using a 25mm gun.
As a reward for bravery, Hao Guyu's mecha fired its 203mm main gun, sending a shell to dismantle the Bradley, leaving the crew members unrecognizable, their remains shredded.
An M1A2 Main Battle Tank fired armor-piercing rounds in return, but unless it landed dozens of hits in succession, it was difficult to destroy the Spider Main Battle Mecha.
Among the 14 M1A2 Main Battle Tanks, within just one minute, Hao Guyu had already destroyed seven of them.
In the complex urban battlefield, Hao Guyu couldn't target everything, especially smaller infantry targets hiding behind buildings and cover, using rocket launchers and single soldier anti-tank missiles for ambushes. The urban combat environment really suited infantry anti-armor tactics, where close engagement ranges and the dead corners of streets and buildings provided prime spots for infantry to ambush tanks successfully.
Though they appeared less threatening than tank targets, they had many anti-armor weapons. With the Beautiful Country's ample financial resources, their troops were well equipped with these weapons. Dozens of rockets and anti-tank missiles hitting their target consecutively posed a significant threat even to the Spider Main Battle Mecha.
"You bastard, take this shell!"
A National Guard soldier aimed his single soldier anti-tank missile at the Spider Main Battle Mecha, ready to fire.
But before he could pull the trigger, his expression froze, and his head rolled off his neck.
A silver-white figure flashed by, two gleaming swords flashing in the cold light, slicing down National Guard soldiers hiding in buildings and corners like chopping vegetables. Or it used its shoulder-mounted heavy machine gun to quickly eliminate threatening targets.
The Genetic Warriors arrived to support, wearing Second Generation Life Breeding Equipment, centering around the Spider Main Battle Mecha, continuously slaughtering enemy infantry within a 200-meter range.
Any armored vehicles capable of threatening the Genetic Warriors were identified and targeted individually by the Spider Main Battle Mecha, working seamlessly together. This kind of synchronized mech-infantry coordination was frequently practiced in joint drills between the Steel Camp and Mechanical Brigade.
Their coordinated efforts made the battle notably smooth. The seemingly powerful Cavalry Armored Battalion, with over 400 troops and dozens of armored vehicles, was crushed in no time.
Once casualties reached a critical point, the National Guard's morale plummeted, and everyone abandoned resistance, fleeing.
But in the urban combat environment, while it posed some restrictions for the Spider Main Battle Mecha, it was even more limiting for tanks and armored vehicles.
They couldn't escape the Spider Main Battle Mecha, whose eight legs offered superior mobility compared to their tracks, easily catching up and turning those expensive armored vehicles into steel coffins.
Ordinary infantry had no power to resist the near-invincible Genetic Warriors, wearing Mechanical Spider gear and sprinting at over 200 kilometers per hour. For infantry, the city was a natural battlefield; for Genetic Warriors, it was an open buffet, to feast at will, as long as there was no heavy firepower—no artillery coverage, no machine gun rakes, no high-explosive precision strikes—making them almost without predators.
As three Genetic Warriors and one Spider Main Battle Mecha chased and struck, screams and cries of agony filled the air, with blood and severed limbs strewn across the ground.
At this time, conflict raged not only in this area but throughout Camp Town.
One Spider Main Battle Mecha after another hunted the armored forces in the darkness, annihilating those steel behemoths one after another.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
On the north side of Camp Town, on the highest five-story building, a Bee Air Defense Mecha rained shell casing like drops of water. Its four twin 35mm high altitude artillery pieces atop the mecha spewed gigantic tongues of fire, while the legs launched bee needle short-range air defense missiles to prey upon the Sky Dome.
In three other directions of the town, similar arrangements with three more Bee Air Defense Mechas constructed an impermeable aerial network, occasionally downing Apache Armed Helicopters to prevent them from interfering with the Spider Main Battle Mechas.
In the southern granary warehouse of the town, National Guard soldiers fled into the building, cornered by the pursuing Spider Main Battle Mecha, only to encounter a Scorpion Flame Sprayer Mecha.
As the Scorpion Flame Sprayer Mecha's tail curved upwards, a fierce dragon of fire spewed from its tail end's nozzle.
Fire surged into the granary, eliciting inhuman screams from within—caused by burnt vocal cords.
On the eastern side of the town, two Fly Rocket Mechas crouched on the ground, their 48-tube rocket launch nests facing different directions, assisted by released Eye Worms to pinpoint large enemy groups outside the town.
