Chapter 572: Gobi Desert Fierce Battle 2 (Seeking Subscriptions)
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
Ramjet barely dodged one energy bullet fired at close range by the plasma cannon, but the other struck his wing with precision.
The moment the energy bullet burst, the powerful kinetic energy sent the F-15 that Ramjet had transformed into spinning over a dozen times in the air before he could struggle to stabilize his form in the sky over a hundred meters away.
A massive gap appeared on his wing, causing Ramjet to be overcome with shame and anger: "Damn it!"
He roared, his magazine opened instantly, and one missile after another shot out, carrying the flames of vengeance.
Sun Cheng fired two shots, forcing Skyboard, who had just closed in, to be compelled to lower his altitude to dodge, then increased his speed once more.
Mach 2.25, Mach 2.5, Mach 2.75, Mach 3...
The full-power activation of the auxiliary power system allowed his speed to quickly break through to Mach 4.
This was not Sun Cheng's speed limit, but it was the fastest speed he could master; once exceeding Mach 4, his reactions would not keep up with the speed, leading to significant deviations during combat.
At a flight speed exceeding Mach 4, the black fighter jet he had transformed into looked just like a ferocious aircraft from beyond the stars.
Sun Cheng easily avoided the missiles while simultaneously firing interference shells to detonate them.
The two plasma cannons were the close-quarters combat weapons he had prepared for himself in fighter jet form; relying on speed far exceeding Ramjet and Skyboard, he fought two against one in the air, biting down hard on the two Decepticons who had been ordered to come and encircle him.
"Boom!"
An energy bullet struck Skyboard near the hatch, and the massive kinetic energy sent the heavy bot falling from an altitude of over three thousand meters, spinning like a parabola for over a thousand meters before stabilizing his body.
And just as he dared to stabilize his body, four combat missiles had already arrived.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."
Four consecutive explosions caused Skyboard to fall toward the ground trailing thick smoke.
After Sun Cheng severely damaged Skyboard, he ignored him; Ramjet had already flown close, attempting to engage him in close-quarters combat, and the combat missiles he fired enveloped Sun Cheng from all directions.
Just as he was about to be happy, a strange electromagnetic wave suddenly struck.
"Hum..."
Electromagnetic system, strong electromagnetic wave attack.
The strong electromagnetic wave emitted by Sun Cheng instantly enveloped Ramjet; in an instant, crackling electric sparks continued to emerge from his body.
This electromagnetic system was something he had plagiarized and learned from human electronic warfare aircraft.
It looked like the effect was much better than Sun Cheng had expected; most Decepticons did not possess the ability to resist electromagnetic interference, and Ramjet was clearly no exception.
Seeing Ramjet fall for the trick and begin to plummet toward the airspace below.
With such a good opportunity, how could Sun Cheng miss it?
The magazine frantically pushed custom missiles one by one to the launch port, then fired them.
At the same time, the two plasma cannons did not care about consumption at all, locked onto the temporarily immobile Ramjet, and fired frantically.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
With continuous explosions, one missile after another and one energy bullet after another kept landing on Ramjet, soon breaking his wings and blowing off a transformed aircraft engine in the explosions; he, covered in thick smoke and gradually rising flames, fell all the way from several thousand meters in the air toward the ground.
"Boom!"
After an explosion, flames soared into the sky, and Ramjet fell.
After resolving this most troublesome opponent, Sun Cheng finally had time to pay attention to the battlefield.
Counting the Ramjet he had just resolved, there were twenty-seven Decepticons tracking Thunder and Excavator.
Among them, the two Decepticons, Ramjet and Skyboard, clearly belonged to the operational command; as for the remaining twenty-five Decepticon Warriors, this kind of cannon fodder mass-produced by Starscream, Sun Cheng really didn't look down on them.
Any Advanced Warrior could handle several Advanced Warriors simultaneously with ease.
The meaning of these cannon fodder's existence was to use human-wave tactics and fearless madness to defeat their opponents.
The Mariana Trench Battle that ended not long ago was a victory created by these Decepticon cannon fodder; the Decepticons had invested at least seventy or eighty cannon fodder warriors, and casualties exceeded fifty.
Yet they left at least thirty Autobots lying in the Mariana Trench forever, a brilliant result.
Unfortunately, using them to deal with Sun Cheng was undoubtedly a wrong move.
On the battlefield, hundreds of combat robots had long since rushed out from various hidden locations under the command of Pioneer, engaging in a melee with those Decepticon cannon fodder warriors.
Do not underestimate this batch of combat robots that had been improved to the third generation; they might still be far inferior to the Decepticon cannon fodder warriors in individual combat power.
But their numbers were seven or eight times that of the cannon fodder warriors, and the weapons they were equipped with were all heavy weapons.
The close-combat meat-shield type combat robots were equipped with close-quarters combat missiles and ship-slaying blades; their bodies were specially made and could withstand multiple hammerings and slashes from the cannon fodder warriors' melee weapons, belonging to the cannon fodder used for close-range attrition.
The heavy assault type combat robots were responsible for fire suppression, and they were equipped with grenade launchers, shoulder-mounted plasma cannons, and heavy machine guns.
In the highland area several kilometers away, there were also over a dozen long-range sniper type combat robots; they used a larger-caliber anti-materiel gun designed by engineers referencing human anti-materiel sniper rifles to conduct long-range sniping of these cannon fodder Decepticons from two or three kilometers away.
The efficiency of the long-range sniper type robots was very high; although their hit rate was not high, the sniper rifles they were equipped with had astonishing power, and the special armor-piercing shells could easily tear through the armor on the surface of the cannon fodder warriors' bodies.
They specifically targeted the Sparks and heads of the cannon fodder warriors; once hit, a cannon fodder warrior would immediately lose combat effectiveness.
On the battlefield, among the seven or eight cannon fodder warriors lying down, except for three resolved by Thunder, Pioneer, and Excavator, the rest were all the results of these long-range sniper type robots.
These three types of robots were a batch of new combat robots urgently manufactured by the engineers under Sun Cheng after Thunder was ordered to transmit the collected combat data back to Base No. 2 following the invasion of Severodvinsk.
Not long ago, they had just been delivered to Africa by a cargo submarine; Sun Cheng had originally thought he would need to wait for a period of time before having the opportunity to test the performance of this batch of improved combat robots.
He did not expect his opponents to provide him with the opportunity so quickly.
Once Ramjet died, the other operational commander—Skyboard—failed to take over the command of the operation.
Skyboard, who had been hit by Sun Cheng's four combat missiles not long ago, had already been entangled by Thunder.
Thunder's predecessor was Blackout, also a fierce general among the Decepticon air force.
Skyboard clearly discovered that he was no match for Sun Cheng in the air; after landing, he originally wanted to command the Decepticons to use human-wave tactics to win the victory.
As a result, he thought too much; Thunder had long been eyeing him, and the moment he landed, a plasma cannon blast sent Skyboard flying several meters away.
"You are mine!"
Leiting let out a great roar, gripped his battle saber, and charged forward to engage him in a fierce struggle.
