Data Wasteland

~: Section 714 Artillery

Chen Xing's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the Four-Nation Alliance was verbally criticizing and penalizing. Wei Haitang even directly called Qin Wu: "Fight, beat me to death!"

"The troops are all up, I'll make up for you again!"

As the leader of a medium-sized principality, Wei Haitang did have the confidence to say such words. Including the refugees, the Silver Claw Principality has a population of more than 30 million, a standing army of 700,000, and a reserve of 2 million, capable of pulling a million-level force at any time.

Qin Wu was originally the character that Jai Xing must reciprocate, and he suffered successive losses in Chen Xing's hands. There was no need for Wei Haitang to speak. Within a few days, he regrouped his troops and brought an army of 700,000 to the weather where Chen Xing was Rock group.

He is very confident in his own strength. Looking at the entire Red Dragon Principality, the only people who can fight against the gluttonous monarch are the Northern Princess and the Red Dragon Grand Duke. Needless to say the former, the supreme powerhouse of the great king class, he could only take a detour when he saw it, but the opponent was restricted by the "King Manifesto" and could not make a move. The Great Duke of Red Dragon is a legendary powerhouse at the Little King level. As a rule, he will not make a move without hitting the capital of the principality.

Therefore, he is invincible here.

Although the opponent has an advantage in terrain, he also has an advantage in numbers. In his eyes, soldiers' lives are spent. Seven hundred thousand people rushed up and cooperated with his gluttonous monarch. What kind of position could not be defeated?

At this moment, in the middle of the Guiku Plain, tens of thousands of soldiers are hiding in the weathered rock group, holding steel guns, waiting for the coming of war.

However, they are generally calm, and they are not disturbed by the fact that several times the enemy forces are advancing here. They either smoked or whispered to each other, with low laughter from time to time, which seemed very relaxed.

The soldiers guarding the weathered rock group are the Chinese Army and the Right Army. The soldiers are basically mercenaries. The other small group is the troops from dozens of border towns in the Northern Wilderness. These people fight against the mutant creatures in the wasteland all year round, and their mental qualities are relatively hard.

In contrast, the atmosphere of the reserve army whose front is set more than 30 kilometers behind the weathered rock group is very tense. Most of these people are recruits. They are on the battlefield for the first time, and people who are retching because of excessive tension can often be seen.

Zuo Jun was guarding a corner of the Nolan Snow Mountain to the northeast of the Weathered Rock Group, where the terrain was the highest, the terrain was difficult, and the defensive ability was the strongest. Qin Wu would basically not be interested in it.

The commander of the left army is Viscount Ramon, and the main composition of the army is the private army of the Ramon family, the personnel drawn from the private army of the various major families in the Dragon City, and the recruits recruited by the Red Dragon Principality.

Regardless of whether the left army or the right army, Chen Xing's control force is relatively weak.

In terms of "fetters", the bond between the Left Army, the Reserve Army, and the Logistics Brigade and Chen Xing is "the same court as ministers", and the bond between the Right Army and Chen Xing is a "common ideal." The Chinese Army and Chen Xing The **** of the army is "private friendship", while the guards and reconnaissance brigade are "community of destiny."

It's clear at a glance.

Generally speaking, Chen Xing should give priority to placing his side troops on the main battlefield of the Weathered Rock Group, and placing his direct troops on the Nolan Snow Mountain defense line to reduce battle damage.

However, leaving aside the logistic battalion without combat capability and the reserve forces that supplement the battle losses of the various military forces, of the three main forces on the left, center and right, the central army has the largest number and the strongest combat capability, the right army is the second, and the left army is the weakest.

The weathered rock group is a barrier from east to north. Once this strategic point is lost, the coalition forces will drive straight in, passing through the Guiku Plain into the hinterland of the Red Dragon Principality, and approaching the Crow Ruins.

Qin Wu didn't need to pay attention to the garrison on Nolan Snow Mountain to achieve strategic goals. At that time, Chen Xing will be charged with unfavorable defense and will be pressured by public opinion to take the blame.

Job.

Therefore, the weathered rock group must not be lost.

"Find the enemy, find the enemy!"

"All units are ready to fight, and all units are ready to fight!"

On the distant horizon, black and heavy troops appeared. There are many people, and it stretches for tens of kilometers.

"Cannon Mech, ready to shoot!"

"Reload, release!"

The artillery and mecha of the Expeditionary Army took the lead. The weathered rock group has a higher terrain, a wider field of vision, and a longer range,

The roar of cannons sounded, and hundreds of shells pierced the sky and fell into the enemy's formation with a sharp whistling.

Amid the dull sound of the explosion, a series of earth springs rose into the sky. The enemy army that was directly hit by the shell was torn apart on the spot, and the broken body was blown up in the air, flying like a kite with a broken line, and then plunged to the ground mixed with blood and mud.

After several rounds of shelling, there was also a roar of artillery from the opposite position.

The two armies faced each other, and the first round was the "artillery showdown." The two sides blasted for a few days and nights, blasted their positions to pieces, and then charged.

As the red earth world has experienced the baptism of nuclear bombs, weapons of mass destruction have been completely banned, and artillery is currently the only weapon of mass destruction.

"Fell down!"

The sharp whistling sound of artillery shells fell one after another in the weathered rock group, blowing up a few feet of earth spring.

The soldiers hid in the bullet crater or behind the weathered rock, clutching their buzzing ears and shrank into a ball. The dust fell from the sky, and the whole person turned into a mud ball.

In the depths of the weathered rock group, in a weathered rock cave, Chen Xing and Xiang Caidie stood side by side, staring at the three-dimensional combat map in front of them.

Also in the command room were Jianyue Canglian and other guards, as well as Xiao Yang as a driver and assistant.

A virtual keyboard is floating in front of Chen Xing, and the keys light up with the tap of his fingers. On the suspended screen, rows of coordinates were scrolled up under Chen Xing's input, and a model of artillery mecha appeared on the three-dimensional map.

"The Seventh Artillery Squadron, loaded with grenade, at 11:16 direction, distance 7.28 kilometers, elevation angle of 47.5 degrees..."

"The Twelfth Artillery Squadron, loaded with grenades, at a direction of 9.45 minutes, a distance of 8.92 kilometers, an elevation angle of 49.77 degrees..."

The tactical satellites in space continuously transmitted the position of the enemy's artillery armor on the battlefield to Chen Xing's mind. Chen Xing then input the coordinates into the battle map, and Xiang Caidie used the walkie-talkie to direct the artillery force to carry out precise strikes.

In the clay world, "artillery" generally refers to "cannon howitzer", which can carry two kinds of shells, namely cannon shells and grenade. The former can be directed or projected at a low angle, and the engagement distance is usually about two kilometers, and the farthest is no more than five kilometers. The main purpose is to penetrate fortifications or armored units, while the latter can be projected at long distances and large angles, and its main function is to cover long-range firepower. , To carry out deterrent killing.

Although the maximum range of a grenade can reach seventy to eighty kilometers or even longer, the accuracy of the grenade over ten kilometers will be very low due to the influence of wind and distance, so the artillery showdown is basically within a range of ten kilometers.

Among Chen Xing's direct descendants, only Lin Shiyuan and Xiang Caidie have military talents. Lin Shiyuan is good at defensive formation and logistics support, while Xiang Caidie is good at artillery command.

After receiving the command from the commander-in-chief, the artillery unit immediately adjusted its angle and direction. The artillery support hand picked up the heavy shell, stuffed it into the barrel, closed the lid firmly, and buckled the safety lock.

"Ammunition Loading

complete! "

"Get ready, shoot!"

The three-row cannon on the shoulders of the mecha slammed backwards, spewing out a large expanse of flames.

This is a squadron of artillery mechas, each with twelve units, and the twelve squadrons totaled 144 units. The shooting scenes at the same time were spectacular.

More than a hundred artillery shells came out of the barrel, flew across the sky in a long arc, and landed exactly on the heads of a group of mottled old mechas.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The grenades bloomed everywhere, and the artillery armor was blown up and down. Distorted steel plates and broken parts were thrown into the air one after another.

The hot and sharp shrapnel whirled past, cutting the head of a support hand who was responsible for loading ammunition in the narration, while the abdomen of the other female support hand was swiped by a corner of the shrapnel, and the intestines suddenly flowed all over the place. The smoke passed, and the ground was in a mess.

Although heavy armor can withstand high temperatures and explosions, it cannot offset the impact generated by the explosion. The driver in the cockpit was bleeding from his nose and mouth and died with his eyes wide open.

In this round of precise shelling, except for a few who had psionic armor that could offset the internal impact, two teams, twenty-four artillery mechas, and forty-eight supporters were all killed.

The cruelty of the war is embarrassing.

Chen Xing used the precise positioning of tactical satellites and coordinated with Xiang Caidie's artillery command. Within less than an hour of the battle, he dropped eight artillery positions in a row.

"My lord, the firepower on the opposite side is so fierce that our artillery unit is simply untenable!"

In the four-nation coalition command camp, the artillery captain hurriedly reported to the coalition marshal. They have lost two artillery squadrons and more than 300 mechs. If this continues, the entire artillery brigade will be maimed.

"How is it possible!" Qin Wu was shocked. According to the line report, the Expeditionary Army has only 3,000 artillery mechas, and 1,000 of them are deployed on the southwest line of Nolan Snow Mountain. There are only about two thousand weathered rocks here.

Although the artillery and mechas on the coalition side are a bit older, there is an artillery squadron, plus other armored divisions. There are more than 5,000 units, and the firepower is stronger than that of the opposite.

"I don't know why, their artillery shells seem to have eyes, where to hit, the hit rate is too high!" said the artillery captain. He felt it was too abnormal, and the accuracy of the opponent's shells was almost as accurate as the tactical missiles before the catastrophe.

Qin Wu thought for a while, then ordered, "Retreat the artillery position five kilometers."

Last time he fought, he already knew that Chen Xing's Heavenly Armed Forces were tactical satellites.

The things manifested by the psychic energy have very obvious characteristics, such as unstable energy positions, and carrying the life mark of the user, and so on.

Secondly, the imperial spirits, pseudo-devices, and heavenly weapons all have different energy structures and volatility, and it is not difficult to distinguish them.

If the satellite has a positioning function, it is not surprising that the artillery is accurate.

Various signs indicate that the other party's satellite is not infinite line-of-sight, but has a certain detection range. It's just that he doesn't know exactly how big this range is, so he can only try step by step.

Sure enough, after stepping back five kilometers, the extremely precise shelling disappeared.

However, after opening the distance, the shooting rate of the artillery on both sides dropped drastically. Chen Xing directly ordered to stop the shelling, save the ammunition, and continue to wait and see.

Anyway, he is not the offensive side, don't worry, fight slowly.
