The tanks of the Northern Army moved forward, firing shells from time to time, and the infantry followed the tanks in an orderly manner.
Bullets flew whistling, and the tanks were rattled by the incoming bullets. The sound of bullets flying past could be heard. From time to time, a tank would be blown up by enemy artillery shells.
Su Xiao followed a tank, and within a few steps, a shell fell nearby.
Su Xiao didn't care about the cannonball, nor did the Northern Army nearby. They all looked at the cannonball calmly. After determining the distance of the cannonball, they continued to move forward and let the cannonball explode.
It is not unreasonable for recruits to be afraid of cannons and veterans to be afraid of machine guns.
As long as the distance is not too close, the danger from artillery shells is not great. You can avoid most shrapnel by lying down. Unless you are very unlucky, you will be hit by shrapnel.
On the battlefield, bullets flew across the battlefield, roars continued, and fires from explosions appeared from time to time. The technological level of the steel-making world was somewhat similar to that of World War II.
The tanks of the Northern Army rolled forward, and the Central Army immediately returned fire.
The weapons of both sides were similar, and the Central Army was slightly more advanced. Even so, the Central Army was beaten and huddled in the trenches, unable to raise its head.
This is not a difference in weapons, the combat qualities of both sides are not on the same level.
The Central Army was stationed in the center of Asia and the United States, and the war was far away from them. On the other hand, the Northern Army was surrounded by powerful enemies. They had small battles every three days and one big battle every month. Everyone was baptized by war.
A whistling sound was heard in the air, and the fighter jets of the Central Army were coming.
This is a weakness of the Northern Army. It has no air power. They are guarding the border, not invading the surrounding areas. Moreover, the central city will not provide air power to the Northern Army. Fortunately, the Northern Army has anti-air power.
Based on the technological level of the Steel World, the most that fighter jets can do is drop bombs or shoot with heavy machine guns. Although it is troublesome, it is not impossible to fight against it.
Hundreds of anti-air cannons were set up, but the effect was not obvious.
The war gradually became more and more fierce. Continuous explosions could be heard in the distance, and the residents of nearby towns were trembling with fear.
The thousands of tanks of the Northern Army are thousands of small combat units. There are several soldiers in each tank, and they each perform their own duties.
Inside a tank, the commander, with a dark face, observed the surrounding situation through a telescope at the entrance of the tank.
In war, every soldier has a nickname, which is not only convenient for calling him, but also reduces the risk of retaliation from the enemy.
Black Face used the telescope to look for enemies hidden around him. The battle location was a large plain, and not all of the Central Army was concentrated in the trenches on the opposite side. There were many earthen pits on the plain, with soldiers hidden in them.
These pits are very threatening and may contain anti-tank guns or heavy machine guns.
Ding, ding, ding.
The bullet hit the tank shell, making a sharp and crisp sound, and the black face quickly retracted into the tank.
"There is a heavy machine gun in the pit at five o'clock. The wolfdog will deal with it!"
Black Face shouted, and the gunner Wolfdog in the tank immediately turned the direction of the muzzle.
"Sage, change the grenade, the hole is a bit deep."
The saint was the bomb loader. Ten seconds later, the tank opened fire.
Boom, one shot went down, and the soil flew up, but unfortunately it missed the target.
Click, click, click. The machine gunner on the tank showed his strength and beat a Central Army soldier who poked his head out of the pit to pieces.
boom!
Another shot went down, this time it hit the pit. Wolfdog saw a flying corpse through the main gun sight, and he laughed.
"Solve one..."
Ding, weng~.
A shell came from a distance and did not hit the tank where Black Face was. Instead, it grazed the Iron Skeleton tank beside it and splashed a large amount of sparks.
The commander of the Iron Bone shrank his neck in fright.
"It's drizzling."
The commander of the Iron Bone laughed loudly and didn't care about the anti-tank gun.
"Fart, that's an 88mm cannon. You'll know it as soon as you hear it."
Black Face roared angrily, this anti-tank gun must be dealt with, otherwise several nearby tanks will be lying here.
…
The war intensified. An hour later, thousands of tanks from the Northern Army marched 100 meters in front of the Central Army's trenches.
"Concentrate and open up!"
The machine gunners in all tanks are active. At this distance, the heavy machine guns loaded on the tanks are life harvesters.
Da da da……
Mud was splashing in front of the trench, and now the Central Army could not even lift its head.
Thousands of tanks set fire to the trenches, and the indiscriminate bombardment stopped after ten minutes.
"Infantry ready!"
Olivia shouted, all the tanks stopped moving forward, and the infantry in the rear began to pour firepower using the tanks as cover.
The most brutal shooting period of the war begins, and the use of infantry is reflected here.
Although the offensive power of infantry is not as good as that of tanks, they are flexible and numerous.
Behind a tank, Su Xiao held the Spider Queen, and the optical infrared detection mirror 8x (active) had been turned on long ago. He had forgotten how many machine gunners and gunners he had killed.
Eject the magazine and there are five bullets left.
Each bullet costs 50 Paradise Coins. Su Xiao will not shoot unless necessary.
The 50,000 Northern Army completely crushed the more than 20,000 Central Army. Less than an hour after the war started, one-fifth of the Central Army had been killed or wounded.
Through the scope, Su Xiao found the enemy's general-level figure, a colonel, who was located high up in the town church. The opponent was observing the battle situation through the window. With the firearm range of the Steel World, this distance was absolutely safe.
When the trigger is pulled, the Spider Queen's gunfire is very low, but the kinetic energy of the bullet is extremely strong.
A cloud of blood mist exploded at the church window, and the colonel was headshot.
Bang, bang!
Two more shots were fired in succession, and the colonel's adjutant and a lieutenant colonel were all shot in the head.
The bullet casing fell to the ground. Su Xiao's gunshot was inconspicuous in the war, but he sniped and killed the enemy general.
The planes in the sky left after completing a round of bombing. The Northern Army suffered thousands of casualties.
The war was different from what was shown in the movies. The Central Army had some idiots, but the Northern Army also killed people.
They are all shooting with guns, but the number and frequency of casualties are different. The situation of killing tens of thousands of enemies and damaging dozens of others will only occur when the weapons are crushing.
…
Five hours later, the gunfire gradually subsided, and the Central Army in the trenches was dispersed, leaving more than half of the corpses behind.
The war was temporarily over. The Northern Army pressed forward against the advancing army, and the soldiers' faces were covered with mud.
"ah!!"
"Save me, don't give up on me."
"Where's my arm? Who's seen my arm?"
The wailing of the wounded and the low moans of the dying filled the battlefield. This kind of scene is rarely seen in modern times.
No one was unaffected by the war, and if so, it was only our Boo Boo Wang.
Boob Wang is performing a feat, it is chewing a tank!
Several tank soldiers looked helpless. Everyone knew that the dog belonged to Su Xiao, so they could only pretend they didn't see it, not to mention that it was an enemy tank.
Boo Boo's house demolition skills have been upgraded. Now demolition of houses can no longer satisfy him. Demolition of tanks is the romance of dogs.
Su Xiao walked towards Olivia, who was counting the number of casualties.
"How many people died?"
"More than four thousand people."
Olivia's voice was low, which was her fault.
Killing more than 10,000 enemies and more than 4,000 of our own troops was a great victory.
Four thousand people is just a number. If you go to the scene in person, you will know that the word "dead bodies everywhere" is not an exaggeration.
The flames ignited by the shells burned the corpses, and the smell of blood, earth, smoke, and the burnt smell of the corpses were mixed together. This was the smell of war.
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao didn't have much trouble in his heart. Compared with the war with hot weapons, the war with cold weapons was more tragic. He had not only seen it, but also been on the battlefield in person.
Wandering around in the reincarnation paradise allowed Su Xiao, a modern person, to experience various scenes, such as modern war, cold weapon war, medieval war, etc.
The war did not end here. The Northern Army opened the way with tanks and slowly drove towards the town of Kano.
There was a corpse hanging at the entrance of the town, with a sign hanging on it that read.
'This is what happens when you resist.'
This corpse was the mayor of Kano Town. He did not agree to the war in front of the town, and the Central Army directly executed him.
"Don't shoot, I'm not a soldier."
A priest holds a wooden stick with a white cloth tied to it.
"hands up."
A soldier shouted and pointed his rifle at the priest.
"Is there still Central Army in the town?"
Lidya Su walked forward.
"Yes, it's in a small town..."
Bang, a gunshot was heard in the town, and the priest was shot in the head.
"There are snipers, take cover!"
The infantry quickly hid behind the tanks, and dozens of tanks headed into the town.
There are remnants of the Central Army in the town. In the eyes of those Central Army, the Northern Army is a rebel army, but they don't know that the military leaders in Central City cooperate with the villain in the bottle for eternal life and do not care about their lives. They are just victims.
.
Those high-ranking military officials don't know that they won't get eternal life. At best, they will become sacrifices. The villain in the bottle will not cooperate with humans, but will only use them.
Invading the town and gaining control of the train station was the primary problem that the Northern Army had to solve. It would be too difficult to enter Central City without a train.
