Chapter 540: Chapter 344: Annihilation of the Siamese Steel Torrent
The battlefield situation underwent a drastic reversal due to the appearance of the Spider Main Battle Mecha.
Although there were only a little over a hundred Spider Main Battle Mecha, the Siamese Army had more than twelve hundred armored vehicles in its iron flood.
Yet in actual combat, the battle situation was completely one-sided.
Those cumbersome main battle tanks were at a loss against the agility and formidable defensive capabilities of the Spider Mecha.
A 120mm smoothbore cannon might require over twenty consecutive hits to possibly incapacitate and destroy a single Spider Main Battle Mecha.
However, the Spider Main Battle Mecha were highly agile, making it difficult for the tanks to achieve precise and successful hits.
Despite the Spider Mecha’s combat full weight of one hundred tons, its eight long legs endowed it with an off-road speed of eighty kilometers per hour.
Combined with the Biological Radar and the five senses of the Genetic Warrior, they often were able to evade just as the tank was taking aim and before it could fire, causing the shot to go astray.
Often, the tanks wouldn’t get a second chance to shoot, as the Spider Main Battle Mecha would immediately opt to use its 203mm main gun to blast them into pieces or employ a 30mm Armor-Piercing Incendiary Bullet to pry open the tank’s hatch, turning it into a fire-spewing, smoking steel coffin.
Besides tanks, other armored vehicles and infantry posed even less of a threat to the Spider Main Battle Mecha.
The multitude of machine guns and cannons surrounding the Spider Mecha made it seem like a lumbering, fire-breathing monster.
A storm of bullets continuously fired, riddling the armored vehicles with holes and shattering the bodies of the soldiers.
For the Spider Mecha, armored vehicles were delectably vulnerable prey, and the anti-armor weapons carried by infantry—such as Single Soldier Anti-Tank Missiles, Rocket Launchers, and small drones—
Small drones were directly blocked by the Spider Mecha and couldn’t even approach it.
Han Ruyan’s enchantment on the anti-drone jammer turned this favorite of the battlefield into a joke.
As for Single Soldier Anti-Tank Missiles, their deployment took too long; elite infantry needed about twenty to thirty seconds to set up and be ready to fire, enough time for a Spider Mecha to kill several times over.
Rocket Launchers were flexible but had a short range, making them very effective against tanks—
Because tanks have large blind spots in their field of vision, are slow to move, and suffer from firepower limitations, infantry can utilize these blind spots to close in on tanks. If they attack from behind or the side, even if the tank notices the infantry, it is unable to quickly turn its hull and turret.
But the Spider Mecha had no such concerns, with fire points covering its whole body, leaving no blind spots in its firepower output.
And attempting to ambush the Spider Mecha for a close attack was futile in front of its Biological Radar; most soldiers, along with their cover, would be torn apart by the machine gun before the mecha even drew near.
On the rare occasion that someone got lucky and landed a hit, the meat tumors inside the Spider Main Battle Mecha could effectively provide defense, making it difficult to truly threaten the pilot.
Therefore, in the fierce combat, these single soldiers’ anti-armor capabilities were like child’s play in front of the Spider Mecha.
The greatest threat to the Spider Main Battle Mecha actually came from the dozens of armed helicopters.
Intense barrages of rockets and powerful air-to-ground anti-tank missiles, along with the superior visibility from high altitudes—unlike the restricted vision of tanks—could not be easily evaded by the Spider Mecha; several had been hit consecutively and disabled or destroyed by armed helicopters.
The Spider Mecha weren’t powerless in retaliation, however; their sticky spider silk with a range exceeding one thousand meters could ensnare helicopters, leaving them no choice but to crash into scrap metal.
And when the Spider Mecha fired its 30mm Armor-Piercing Incendiary Bullets, like two red whips unfurling, one could occasionally witness an armed helicopter being swept from the sky.
Although the Spider Mechas began to suffer casualties, the tide of battle had become quite clear.
Watching the gigantic armored flood, with as many as thirty-five thousand soldiers, being overwhelmed by a little over a hundred Spider Main Battle Mecha was a sight to behold.
The battlefield was littered with burning war vehicles, crashed armed helicopters, human soldiers’ dismembered limbs, and those trembling, on the verge of collapse, hiding behind cover.
Spider Main Battle Mecha completely dominated the battlefield; wherever they appeared, all ground vehicles were either fleeing or destroyed, the soldiers’ rifles became mere sticks for kindling, their only purpose to deplete the Spider Mecha’s ammunition before dying tragic deaths, turning into cold corpses, their blood nourishing the grass on the plains.
“Surrender, we are willing to surrender.”
A group of Siam Soldiers raised their hands high; managing to hold out until now was already more than most of the Siamese Army could say, but still, they couldn’t withstand the slaughter of the Spider Mecha any longer, their morale nearing collapse.
“Surrender?”
Inside Mecha A180, Hao Guyu looked down at the surrendering Siam Soldiers below him.
They had thrown away all their weapons and knelt on the ground with their hands raised high, just to have a chance to survive.
“Brigade commander, what should we do with the soldiers who surrender?”
Hao Guyu contacted the commander of the First Mecha Combat Brigade through the radio, his father, calling him by his official title in times of war.

“There are no prisoners in this battle; we do not have the capacity to take prisoners with us as we leave.”
The commander Hao Guang’s voice came through, issuing this cruel order impassively.
They were within Siam, where the enemy could deploy combat aircraft at any moment. Carrying prisoners would compromise their mecha’s mobility, equivalent to courting death.
Mercy to the enemy equated to cruelty to oneself; as the highest-ranking officer of the Mechanical Army, he was already prepared for such decisions.
