Chapter 727 Chapter 17.05 The Burning Red Iron Star
In the multiverse, when the gods first came to the mortal world, they often fought wars of firepower and technology.
Wei Keng also likes to fight this kind of rich war. After all, "Who doesn't like to eat barbecue?"
If given absolutely more time and development opportunities, Wei Keng would accumulate wealth and crush his opponent to death in one fell swoop.
However, as a veteran time traveler, Wei Keng knows that his arrival is often accompanied by various accidents. When conditions are not sufficient, he will always consider being forced to attack the strong with the weak.
I recall that when I entered the plane for the first time, I encountered the "Pandora" plane. When I entered Pandora, I encountered "highly dangerous creatures", which laid the foundation for Wei Keng's hard work when he traveled back.
The most recent time he traveled was in the "dark plane", and Wei Keng had always traveled through such difficult planes.
Wei Keng doesn't know now that it will be more difficult for him to face an absolutely powerful interstellar impact battle in the "mind field plane".
Wei Keng's time-travel was "a matter of life and death as well as success."
Even an antelope that can run fast enough can lose weight to a lion and has to eat the carrion of a hippopotamus in the river. Its claws are sharp and useless, so large carnivores have to fight for their intestines and stomach in order to survive.
The gods of the multidimensional planes felt that the pressure of the divine war had been high enough to cause the collapse of "most of the time travellers", but for Wei Keng, who was very resistant to pressure, the water temperature was just right.
On October 2, the White Wing Knights' wilderness trip officially began. After being walked for ten days, they had absolute firepower and were forced to fight hard.
The terrain in the north of the Sky Empire is made up of ninety-eight bends divided by rivers.
In the shell armor of the Sky Knights, the stainless steel shield concept upgrades the defense to "third level". The shells fired from the cannon barrels are full of "high heat", "armor piercing" and "blast" three attack BUFFs, but they are always
A formal and regular war cannot be fought.
Lance couldn't even pursue him happily because the terrain in the countryside was too complicated.
There is a saying that goes like this: "Who can't accelerate in a straight line? The key is to curve."
The large land vehicles of the Angles were trapped to death by the northern terrain of the Sky Empire;
Each river crossing, which part is deep and which part is shallow, when the tide rises and when the tide does not rise. These are the data sent by the Agricultural Youth Association to collect.
The Anglo army often got stuck in the terrain halfway through pursuit, causing a slight delay.
Seven or eight "150mm self-propelled howitzers" from the light armored force of the Peasant Youth Army crossed over in river transport boats, and then unfolded, followed by a dense "blizzard".
These "Blizzard" shells fell one after another in seven or eight waves (five shells in each wave) within five minutes, giving the Anglo troops a wave.
The surface shield of the Land Cruiser was weakened by one layer, and the people who disembarked were also seriously injured.
These Iron Star 150mm artillery pieces immediately packed up their vehicles and boarded the ship, and then fled directly.
Give it to the Anglo bikers.
... Enma: Let's hit those we can fight. If the enemy has thick armor, let him eat his shit...
After circling for a full ten days, the mileage of each tank exceeded 1,500 kilometers. Lance cursed that this was a "mud-legged" fighting style and was not a regular army at all.
As a result, they began to ignore such harassment attacks and mechanized their advance directly towards Molten Steel Tower City, the established military target.
At the same time, the defense system of Molten Steel Tower City has been completed to 90%.
The 200mm long-barreled artillery pieces are being hoisted little by little along the steel brackets to the top of the 40-meter-high cement protection tower.
This tower was designed by Wei Keng based on the German Berlin Air Defense Tower. It can be said to have a scientific and practical design.
The cement modules are cast in advance and then transported through the arcana of the "air transport pad". Then steel bars are inserted into the reserved holes, and then concrete is poured. This process allows for rapid construction.
A lifting platform is reserved on the main structure to transport ammunition of various calibers.
These defense systems of Iron Star were almost completed on April 5, when the Anglians just left the city.
Of course, what is now added is the railway system, which allows the heavy armored artillery defenders in the city to quickly dispatch support.
... Enma: It's easy to come out, but you are not allowed to go back...
On October 7, the Anglian legion no longer pursued any harassers and prepared to attack the rear troops of Wei Keng.
Near the northern Norwegian Whale Port, a city "leased" by the Anglos, 42 descending points appeared with the flicker of electromagnetic light.
Well, this is Enma's ultimate move "Group Teleportation". At this time, the teleportation carries not only a 34-unit army, but also a large amount of supplies.
The Angles wanted to attack, and the "Lords" also tried to counterattack.
After the nine 20-meter-high containers were unfolded, the engineering team immediately began to dismantle the containers. At the same time, the Mountain Giant inserted thermal steel pipes into the ground and began to soften the foundation. After a little river water was injected, earth and rocks accumulated on the surface.
The foundation began to sink steadily like quicksand. After sinking to a certain extent, the quicksand ground began to harden, providing stability to the tower base and able to withstand the recoil of the artillery.
The cement castings required for these turrets, which often weigh tens of tons, are quickly hoisted into the foundation pit by iron star mechanical cranes. Then, after pouring cement slurry, they begin to be stacked like building blocks.
The excavated sand was not wasted, but was mixed with a viscous agent and piled on the surface of the building blocks as an external defense like sandbags.
…When the Anglians were preparing for a wave of attacks, the Iron Star Command quickly intercepted them…
Lance is planning firepower, troops and political deals, while Enma has to calculate more, such as "time"
A strong army, equipment, and quantity are not the decisive factors for victory. Among the weights of victory, organizational strength and subjective initiative are often the highest.
How to proactively create a time crunch for the opponent, and how to take advantage of the opponent's time crunch to expand conditions that are favorable to oneself.
When junior heroes such as Anjiexin and Bess dragged Lance on the battlefield, they created conditions for the layout of the defense system in the "Molten Steel Tower" city.
Now that Lance has spared no effort to stab Molten Steel Tower City to death, Iron Star has seized the gap again and "built towers" on the road behind it.
Enma: What? A wretched and disrespectful person? Oh, don’t worry, there will be regular battles sooner or later, because our strategic goal is also to completely annihilate our opponents.
Total annihilation can only be achieved by regular warfare.
We, who have taken the initiative, must wait until the time is favorable to us to initiate the war. You can start the war, but how to fight it is not up to you.
...The intervening army and the intervened army are engaged in a decisive battle in the northern part of the Sky Empire...
On October 14, finally, the Lance Corps arrived and the Anglo Corps launched a large-scale offensive in Molten Steel Tower City.
In the land cruiser group of the Anglo intervention force, Lance used advanced observation equipment.
Oh, this is a ten-meter-long telescope installed on the central cruiser. After the red copper-cased telescope is unfolded, it is like a transmitter facing high in the sky. It first emits a stream of material, and this material stream unfolds in the high sky.
A temporary mirror.
And this mirror can just use the reflection effect to allow the telescope to look down on the position from a high-altitude perspective! The effect of this equipment is similar to Wei Keng's skill "Gold Foil Perspective Drone", but of course it also consumes industrial concepts.
And the price is quite expensive, more expensive than three "heavy infantry" tanks (three hundred tons), mainly because of its high precision.
Lance saw a continuous line of defensive positions, ground towers, and complex tunnels, guarding the industrial furnace area of only 25 square kilometers in the center of Ronggang TC.
Lance hesitated for a moment. Among the siege weapons he brought, only four heavy mortars were effective.
The Angles only had mortars that could pull out the turrets in the steel city opposite.
Iron Star's rising airship observed that once the Anglo mortar entered the firing state, the mechanical hoe was inserted into the ground. Within three hours, it could not be easily moved and it was extremely easy to be attacked.
…Iron Star has the best light armor penetration tactics.…
Without waiting for Lance to hesitate further, Iron Star took the lead in launching the harassment. As the stinking compound rocket warheads were released one after another, the entire battlefield was filled with the smell of farts. This type of stink bomb is not lethal enough. In fact
In the open area, the damage effect of any "chemical warhead" is low, but this is the psychological effect.
When the smelly Anglo sergeants rode in the mechanical maintenance spider, the machine spirit soon became displeased.
This world is idealistic, and human consciousness itself has spiritual diffusion. That is, when a person thinks that he is covered in shit, he will subconsciously equate the things he picks up with the concept of a spittoon.
...During the war, Wei Keng will continue to mess with people's mentality...
In the front tunnel of the Peasant Youth Army, wearing a rubber protective suit and a breathing mask, a 15-year-old young man looked at the Anglo mechanical spider lying in the distance and sneered: "Spreading evil? Such a low method, I
Do they know how to use it? No matter what, they need to chemically purify it, so that they can see how smelly artificial compounds can be."
This fifteen-year-old young man is the new arrival of Wei Keng.
Three years ago, this young man was pushed into the water and drowned by the Sky Empire's food collection team, and Wei Keng's conscious soul from the second batch of people who arrived in this plane penetrated him.
Because it is a "middle-level asset", it is not in the focus of the gods, and it is also not in the special care of the first Wei Keng's "Enma", so it is very hidden.
There are many individuals in the second batch of Wei Keng who have traveled to this plane, and the time and space are uncertain. For example, in this time and space, Wei Keng's soul has penetrated this young man. When the gods find the corresponding time and space, this young man is not Wei Keng's soul.
Wearing an individual, Wei Kenghun wears another ordinary person.
All in all, in this great era, Wei Keng's absolute main force in many worlds is not a leader like Enma, but an indomitable resister hidden among all living beings.
...Wei Keng: When this world wants to swallow me up, I will fight to the death...
On October 15th, at 1:00 in the morning, there was no wind at night, but the Anglo bombardment began.
Under Lance's order, four steam chariots parked slowly like ships behind the fifty-meter-high earth mound bunker. These thirty-meter-long artillery carts, weighing 260 tons, opened a series of
The ten-meter mechanical hoe then stepped firmly on the ground like a spider.
The 500-millimeter-caliber, 15-meter-high gun barrel slowly raised up, followed by a burst of crimson flash, flashing along the flame lines of the gun barrel, and then hot waves sprayed from the bottom of the gun. One gun was as high as a person, with water
Cannonballs as thick as a cylinder flew into the sky with flames, drawing an arc, and fell towards the turret of the defensive position seven kilometers away. The heavy artillery hit the cement protective tower, exploding with bright flames.
At the same time, the artillery counterattack from Iron Star also came over. The heavy firepower from both sides wiped out the light of meteors in the night sky.
On the Anglo side, due to the electromagnetic force loaded on the top of the Anglo steam mortar by the "energy tank" every half hour to lift the metal plate protective cover, all the iron star shells that occasionally fell were deflected to the ground.
Directly in front of the hill, bursts of explosive soil fog formed.
The earthen ball barriers built by the Anglos before the war with land tanks attached to excavator arms provided good protection for their artillery positions.
...As an opponent, the Anglos are obviously more competent than the Sky Empire...
Willie, who was in charge of the defense, looked at the artillery in front and said: "We cannot just let the enemy safely project firepower on the outside of our position."
At this time, there is an open area of seven kilometers between the defensive position and the opponent's long-range firepower. The direct-fire artillery of the defense tower can effectively penetrate within a range of five kilometers. The protection of knight-level heavy armor is currently unable to penetrate the enemy behind the mound.
Siege artillery.
Cruz, the joint defense captain of Iron Star in the city, said: "We must allow the opponent's troops to engage us within the range of our defense towers. But dispatching heavy armored troops now will be very passive."
Because there are fewer troops dispatched, it is easier for the opponent to send tanks to attack, but if there are more troops dispatched, the opponent can attack from the flanks.
In front of this confrontational position, both sides can suddenly rush to the enemy's position and show their presence, but whoever rushes to the central open space outside the confrontation first will be more likely to be targeted by the opponent's artillery.
For example, if the Peasants and Workers Army sends two or three tanks to attack the Anglo artillery positions.
Anglian will definitely send five heavy knight-level tanks, and then use "energy destruction" to slow down the speed and firepower of two or three tanks, annihilate them, and then withdraw before the city defenders prepare for rescue.
This is just like a martial arts master, striking first means revealing the gap.
But it is absolutely impossible to allow the opponent's "heavy artillery" to destroy defensive buildings. However, there are current methods, but they require courage.
Enma mirror appeared in front talks.
Enma Mirror said: "We must take the initiative and order the infiltration troops to enter. As long as we can force the opponent's heavy units to reach the front, the combatants will receive first-class merit."
...On the outskirts of the city, Iron Star prepared a light mechanized infantry assault...
So, at three o'clock in the night, the tremors of artillery fire on the ground still broke out. On the forward position, soldiers one by one were armed and adjusted the power of the gas motorcycles.
This is the positional warfare force formed here by Iron Star, the "Storm Hammer" commando team.
Compared with ordinary soldiers, the commandos hold alloy steel furnaces instead of submachine guns. These are very effective enchanted weapons, and their attacks have special effects. Everyone in the team drank the "Wind Sensitivity" potion and carried
Collected "Treatment Bottle", "Automatic Suture Mud" (Fusion for heavy torso bleeding), "Replaceable Prosthetic Legs" (Replacement for broken legs and hands.)
On the eve of preparing for the attack, the captain of the fifth battalion who led the charge looked at the soldiers and said, "Everyone, a few years ago, we encountered an opponent that the empire failed to defeat in the trenches. Are you afraid?"
The soldiers raised their heads, and a fifteen-year-old young man said: "Captain, are you kidding me? If you are afraid, you will have lost your eggs."
The captain nodded and began to chant: "Well, for the blazing iron star!"
Soldiers: "Cut through the gold dust of hypocrisy!"
...In the dark night, under the illumination bombs, the Anglos encountered Sky Empire soldiers who were different from the past...
At 3:30 in the morning, the attack began.
The large-scale howitzers of the Rongta Corps conducted a covering artillery bombardment on the front line. Under the cover of rows of artillery bombardments, the "Storm Hammer" commandos quickly assaulted the mound position and waited until the Anglo defenders discovered
, the "Storm Hammers" have successfully assaulted the enemy's artillery position 500 meters away and launched a steam-propelled charge.
When Iron Star's demolition infantry charged, Iron Star's artillery fire automatically suppressed and covered them, clearing the way for the impact troops.
Ten minutes later, blazing flames, mushroom clouds of ammunition explosions, and huge steel pipes collapsed on the Anglo No. 3 earth ball artillery position, reminding the Anglos that it was impossible for them to shell safely.
.These mud-legged people they despise have the courage to fight back in the face of artillery fire.
Immediately five minutes later, explosive fire clouds also rose from Mound No. 2 and Mound 4.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Anglians sent heavy infantry tanks to protect Mound No. 1, and finally protected this last long-range firepower.
In this assault battle, one-tenth of the "Storm Hammer" commando team was unable to evacuate. Among the unknown heroes who fell, two individuals from the second wave of Wei Keng died. The one who was only fifteen years old
A young man who joined the Iron Star Agricultural Army at the age of 18 and was chatting and laughing when his own side fired "Skunk Rockets" a day ago.
