As Mazhe falls back, his bullets towards the rear managed to hit one of the soldiers, and then a few more times to finish him off. Looks like the gangster was too eager for some success, which might bring him up from being just a regular hooligan to an actual standard Grappler soldier. Another possibly bothersome thing that Mazhe might have spotted as he shoot, is that some of the injured soldiers are being treated by their allies and are rejoining the battle, another advantage that actual humans have over wild beasts. Wedging the ammo out and taking a Recovery Pill takes only minutes or even seconds, which means it won't be too hard to heal the injured on the spot.
"I think we should focus on the foot soldiers, we need some pretty lucky shot to take down these unmanned tanks, and we don't have explosives to blow them up either. But the stray shots don't seem to do enough on the troops, if we don't finish off the injured ones then they could be treated and come right back in with their guns blazing... "
Sarah had to constantly moving to try and deal with the Grappler Tank that had turned round to fire at her, good thing it's not a very agile unit so it's not very successful at its job. Eventually it managed to get itself in a lucky position, and was about to fire a shell from it's cannon... only for Sarah to have a sharp turn to stop herself, and shoot down the shell while it's still in the barrel, causing it to explode internally. A move that requires guts and skills to intercept shots from a vehicle, something that you only see Soldiers being crazy enough to even attempt it.
After regrouping up with Mazhe, the Soldier listened to his plans and nods without anything to add. Sarah's a great warrior that's skilled in battle, but she had always let her former teacher James do the plannings in battle, so her tactical side is a bit lacking compared to her combat side. After coordinating their plan, she would once again head around the outskirt of the town, ignoring the burning debris of the tank that she had taken out in order to prepare for battle once again.

However not everything would be going to plan, the ideal situation is that the Grapplers would come one by one so it'll be easier to deal with their numbers, but obviously someone is there to give out orders for the Grappler side as well. Seeing that they are in a disadvantage, the Grappler Hooligans begins to fall back from their position and head deeper into the town. As they retreat, three of them gets hit by the Doctor's shots, and gets pulled back by their retreating allies. One of them however soon died from their injuries, and are then abandoned on the side.
They don't provide coordinated retreats like a profession army could, but they still have some degree of tactical ability in them. After they had fallen back a distance, barricades are built by the earlier batches of soldiers, providing protection and cover for the rest of the forces. Right now they had retreated just behind the town center, which would give the adventurers a chance to advance, and to evacuate any survivors they might find in the area while it is still a safe zone.
"Lilia! Keep the guns blazing! Hit them while they're running!"
"Can't you see I'm doing it already? Maybe I should make some sound effects here! Tadatadatada..."
James and Lilia's tank would try to shoot at the retreating soldiers, with slightly more success thanks to the heavier weapons. Two of the soldiers are snapped in half by a barrage of bullets, with three more injured and pulled away. But that's as much as they could do before they notice the tanks changing tactics, they all turn towards the attackers that had stolen the tank, and charges right at them with their guns blazing. James tries his best to dodge the coming shells, using amazing driving skills that are unlike the coming attackers, however it is still a six to one battle in a tight terrain.
"The three of you! Scatter!"
He gave off a warning when he realize this will be a bit out of hand, firing a return shot to destroy another tank a few moments before he got hit himself, blowing up almost half of the tank's upper parts. Just before they got he, the two inside ducks and was enough to avoid getting their heads taken off, but the vehicle starts to go on fire. James grabs Lilia and keep his coat around the two as they bail out of the burning vehicle, thankfully the jacket was designed for situation like this, something that he had grown to wear thanks to their past experiences.
The return shell did some success as well, hitting the bottom part of the vehicle, destroy much of its mobility. As long as you stay away from the frontal areas of the damaged tank then it should be a safe target to engage.
"You alright?"
"I'll get them for that! Oh, yeah I'm fine too."
James quickly got back up and took cover, staying out in the opens against several tanks would be suicide. While James thinks of another plan, Lilia's focus is to steal another tank, which might not be that easy when they're charging at you.
The rest of the tanks don't have a clear sight, and there's not enough room for them to all charge over, so they decided to wait and see how the hunters would do in response.
Mean while, the mechanic seems to have been trying to approach a tank, but was a swing and a miss when the vehicle sudden began their assault. Not entirely his fault but he took was too much time to get to the vehicle, a possibly fatal mistake in battle.
