Section 714 Artillery
Chen Xing's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest. The Four Kingdoms Alliance was criticized and Wei Haitang even called Qin Wu directly: "Beat, beat me to death!"
"The troops are exhausted, I will make up for you!"
As the lord of a medium-sized principality, Wei Haitang really has the confidence to say such things. Along with refugees, the Silver Claw Principality has a population of more than 30 million, with a permanent army of 700,000 and a reserve of 2 million, and can raise a hundred at any time.
A large army of ten thousand levels.
Qin Wu was a vengeful personality, and he suffered losses in Chen Xing's hands one after another. There was no need for Wei Haitang to speak. He regrouped his troops within a few days and led a large army of 700,000 to fight towards the weathering where Chen Xing was.
Rock group.
He was very confident in his own strength. Looking at the entire Red Dragon Principality, only the princess of the North and the Grand Duke of the Red Dragon were able to fight against the glutton. Of course, it goes without saying that the former is the supreme powerhouse of the king level. He could only take a detour when he saw it, but the other party was affected by
The restrictions of the "Declaration of Kings" cannot be taken. The Red Dragon Grand Duke is a legendary powerful man of the little king level. According to convention, he will not take action without hitting the capital of the principality.
So, he is an invincible existence here.
Although the other party has the advantage of terrain, he also has the advantage of numbers. In his eyes, the lives of soldiers are consumed. Seven hundred thousand people rushed forward and cooperated with his gluttonous monarch, what kind of position could not be defeated?
At this moment, in the middle of the Ghost Crying Plain, tens of thousands of soldiers hid in the weathered rock group, holding steel guns, waiting for the war to come.
However, they were generally in a peaceful mood and did not feel uneasy because the enemy was pushing towards it several times. They were either smoking cigarettes or whispering to each other, and laughing from time to time, which seemed very relaxed.
The Central Army and Right Army guarding the weathered rock group are basically mercenaries. The soldiers are basically born in mercenaries, and fighting is common and not uncommon. Another small number are troops from more than a dozen marginal towns in the Northern Wilderness. These people have been with each other for many years.
The mutated creatures in the wasteland have relatively strong psychological qualities.
In contrast, the atmosphere of the reserve army, which is located more than 30 kilometers behind the weathered rock group, is very tense. Most of these people are recruits. When they are on the battlefield for the first time, they can often see people who are retching due to excessive tension.
The left army guarded a corner of Nolan's snow-capped mountains to the northeast of the weathered rock group. The terrain here is the highest, the terrain is dangerous, and the strongest defensive ability. Qin Wu basically won't be interested in it.
The commander of the Left Army was Viscount Ramon, and the main components of the troops were the private army of the Ramon family, the personnel drawn from the private armies of the major families of the Giant Lizard City, and the new recruits recruited by the Red Dragon Principality.
Whether it is the Left Army or the Right Army, they are all troops with weak control.
If we talk about "bound", the left army, reserve army, logistics brigade and Chen Xing are "the same dynasty as ministers", the right army and Chen Xing are "common ideal", the middle army and Chen Xing are "common ideal", the middle army and Chen Xing are "
The bond is "private friendship", while the Guards and Reconnaissance Brigade are "community of shared future".
Closeness and distantness are obvious at a glance.
Generally speaking, Chen Xing should give priority to putting the side-level troops in the main battlefield of the weathered rock group, and putting the direct troops in the Nolan Snow Mountain defense line to reduce combat losses.
However, putting aside the logistics brigade that has no combat capability and the reserve army that supplements the combat losses of each army, among the three main forces on the left, middle and right, the central army has the largest number of people and the strongest combat capability, followed by the right army and the weakest left army.
The weathered rock group is a barrier from east to north. Once this strategic point is lost, the coalition forces will march straight into, cross the Ghost Crying Plain and enter the hinterland of the Red Dragon Principality, and approach the Crow Ruins.
Qin Wu could achieve strategic goals without paying attention to the garrison on Nolan's snow mountain. At that time, Chen Xing would be charged with unfavorable defense and resigned under pressure from public opinion.
Therefore, weathered rock groups cannot be missed.
"Discover the enemy, discover the enemy!"
"Each unit is ready to fight, and each unit is ready to fight!"
On the distant horizon, there were black troops. There were numerous people, stretching for dozens of kilometers.
"Architecture mecha, prepare to shoot!"
"Recharge, put it!"
The artillery mecha of the Expeditionary Force took the lead. The weathered rock group has a higher terrain, a wide field of vision, and a longer range.
The roaring cannon sounded, and hundreds of shells cut through the sky and fell into the enemy formation with a sharp roar.
Amid the dull explosion, the earth springs soared into the sky. The enemy troops who were directly hit by the shells were split into pieces on the spot. The broken body was blown into the air, flying like a kite with broken strings, and then mixed with blood and mud and sand.
On the ground.
After several rounds of artillery attacks, the roar of artillery sounded from the opposite position.
When the two armies face off, the first round was a "artillery showdown". The two sides first hit a few days and nights, knocked the position down and then carried out a charge.
Since the Red Clay World has experienced the baptism of nuclear bombs, large-scale weapons of destruction have been completely banned, and artillery is currently the only large-scale weapon of destruction.
"Look down!"
The sharp whistling of shells fell one after another into the weathered rock group, and the earth springs several meters high were blown up.
The soldiers hid in the craters or behind the weathered rock, covering their buzzing ears and shrank into a ball. The ashes all over the sky fell, and their whole bodies turned into mud.
Deep in 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 guards such as Jian Yue Canglian, and Xiao Yang, who was a driver and assistant.
A virtual keyboard was floating in front of Chen Xing, and the keys lit up with the tap of his fingers. On the hanging screen, rows of coordinates scrolled upwards under Chen Xing's input, and a model of the artillery mecha appeared on the three-dimensional map.
"The Seventh Artillery Squadron, loaded with grenades, at 11:16, distance from 7:28 kilometers, elevation angle of 47:5 degrees..."
"The 12th Artillery Squadron, loaded with grenades, at 9:45, distance from 8:92 kilometers, elevation angle of 49:7 degrees..."
Tactical satellites in space continuously transmit the position of enemy artillery mechas on the battlefield to Chen Xing's mind. Chen Xing then inputs the coordinates into the combat map, and then Xiang Caidie uses a walkie-talkie to command the artillery troops to conduct precise strikes.
In the red clay world, "artillery" generally refers to "cannon howitzer". It can carry two types of shells, namely cannon shells and grenades. The former can be direct or low-angle projected, and the combat distance is usually about two thousand meters, and the farthest does not exceed
Five kilometers, the main purpose is to break through fortifications or armored units, which can be projected from a long distance and has a large angle. The main function is to cover the firepower with a long range and perform shock damage.
Although the maximum range of a grenade can reach seventy or eighty kilometers or even more, due to the influence of wind and distance, the accuracy of a grenade exceeding ten kilometers will be very low, so the artillery duel is basically within a range of ten kilometers.
Among Chen Xing's direct subordinates, only Lin Shiyuan and Xiang Caidie have military talents. Lin Shiyuan is good at defensive arrangement and logistics support, while Xiang Caidie is good at artillery command.
After receiving the commander's order, the artillery troops immediately adjusted the angle and direction. The artillery support hand picked up the heavy shell, stuffed it into the barrel, closed the cover and locked the safety lock.
"The ammunition is loaded!"
"Prepare to fire!"
The three rows of gun barrels mounted on the shoulders of the mecha suddenly stumbled backwards, spewing out large pieces of flames.
This is a squadron's artillery mecha, each with twelve squadrons, a total of 144 squadrons. The scene of firing at the same time is extremely spectacular.
More than a hundred shells emerged from the chamber, flew across the sky in a long arc, and accurately landed on the heads of a group of mottled and old mechas.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Grenades bloomed everywhere, and the artillery mechas were blown upside down. The twisted steel plates and broken parts were thrown into the air one after another.
The high-temperature and sharp shrapnel flew past, cutting the head of a support hand who was responsible for loading ammunition, while another female supporter hand was cut by a corner of the shrapnel, and her intestines suddenly flowed all over the ground. The smoke passed by and the ground was covered with a piece of smoke.
Disarray.
Although the heavy armor can withstand high temperatures and explosions, it cannot offset the impact caused by the explosion. The driver in the cockpit was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and died with his eyes wide open.
In this round of precision artillery attack, except for a few who had psychic armor that could offset the internal impact, two teams, twenty-four artillery mechas, and forty-eight supporters, all died in battle.
The cruelty of war is sad.
Chen Xing used the precise positioning of tactical satellites and cooperated with Xiang Caidie's artillery command to start the war less than an hour ago, and he successively dropped eight artillery positions of the coalition forces.
"Sir, the firepower on the opposite side is too strong, and our artillery force is not tenable at all!"
In the command camp of the Four-Nation Alliance, the artillery brigade leader hurriedly reported to the coalition marshal. They had lost two artillery squadrons and the mechas lost more than 300. If this continues, the entire artillery brigade will be destroyed.
"How is that possible!" Qin Wu was shocked. According to the report, there were only 3,000 artillery mechas on the expeditionary army, of which 1,000 were deployed on the southwest line of Nolan Snow Mountain. It was full of plans, and there were only about 2,000 weathered rock groups here.
Although the artillery mechas on the coalition side are a little older, there is an artillery brigade, and other armored divisions are equipped with more than 5,000 units. No matter how you look at the firepower, it is stronger than the opponent.
"I don't know why, their shells seem to have eyes, and they hit the target wherever they point, and their hit rate is too high!" said the artillery captain. He felt it was too abnormal. The accuracy of the opponent's shells was almost as accurate as the tactics before the catastrophe.
Missiles are here.
Qin Wu thought for a while and ordered, "The artillery position retreated five kilometers."
Last time he fought, he had already clearly known that Chen Xing's Heavenly Kingdom armed forces were tactical satellites.
Things that are manifested by spiritual energy have very obvious characteristics, such as unstable energy positions, and carrying the user's life mark, etc.
Secondly, the imperial spirits, fake weapons, and the heavenly armed forces all have different energy structures and amplitudes, so it is not difficult to distinguish them.
If the satellite has positioning function, it is not surprising that the artillery is accurate.
All signs indicate that the other party's satellite is not infinitely visible, but has a certain range of reconnaissance. However, he is not sure how big this range is, so he can only try it step by step.
Sure enough, after retreating five kilometers, the extremely accurate shelling disappeared.
However, after the distance was widened, the shooting rate of the artillery on both sides dropped significantly. Chen Xing directly ordered the stop of artillery shooting, save the ammunition, and continue to wait for the rabbit.
Chapter completed!
