"The Honkai Beast swarm is attacking!" A dense mass of Honkai Beasts dove from the clouds on the horizon. The combined shrieks of over a hundred Assault-types were sharper and more piercing than Stuka sirens.
"Bang bang bang..."
The cannons thundered across the entire position, sounding like long strings of firecrackers set off by the people of Shenzhou during festivals, only far more muffled.
The automated anti-aircraft guns swung their barrels at an almost absurd speed. Their compact twin barrels spat out long streams of fire, while gleaming brass casings poured out like water.
The automated anti-aircraft gun system integrated advanced Soul Steel computers for automatic targeting, control systems, and ammunition management, requiring no gunners at all. That was also why it was so valuable—one automated anti-aircraft gun cost even more than three state-of-the-art tanks. A single 35mm shell could absolutely tear apart the weakest Assault-type Honkai Beast, and the eight automated anti-aircraft guns formed a dense barrage net with their blazing muzzles. The Infantry Fighting Vehicles' 25mm cannons also joined the low-altitude defense.
The lively orange-yellow barrage looked almost like the entire city was setting off fireworks.
The Assault-type Honkai Beasts fell from the sky one after another like geese shot by hunters, but Honkai Beasts did not fear death—especially not now, when they had been enraged by the screeching Honkai energy signal. The diving Assault-types showed no intention of slowing down. Though the anti-aircraft company's defensive barrage wiped out most of them, some still slipped through.
The diving Assault-types blasted crater after crater into the ground. The automated anti-aircraft guns' computers could determine which diving Assault-types posed threats to themselves and friendly units, so no anti-aircraft guns were lost in the raid. The Infantry Fighting Vehicles were not so fortunate. Their long, narrow hulls greatly increased their chances
