Because there were so many gun emplacements on the ground, upon realizing this, the flying Destroyers, which were originally as dense as giant mosquito pillars, dispersed into groups of dozens or hundreds, and dived separately at the nearest location, attacking each ground anti-aircraft gun emplacement. .
During the high-speed dive, these flying destroyers make no evasive movements. They just pursue the shortest route and the fastest speed to approach the target, and then kill the target with bites and stings, or grab those strange metals and throw them down!
The air defense weapons of the God's Envoy King's Legion do not have a continuous fire function, and Zhu Jue is powerless against the overly sophisticated mechanical structure. The firearm technology of the God's Envoy King's Legion remains roughly equivalent to the level of human civilization in the 17th century. It is difficult to make progress. Think of ways to use it in shooting and tactics.
Although the anti-aircraft gun with an improved gun mount has a wide firing angle, even the millet gun with the fastest rate of fire still requires the ant artillery to load, aim, and fire step by step, not to mention those multi-barreled anti-aircraft guns and the laborious string pulling. Ballista. The ones with the fastest rate of fire are some of the newly manufactured sub-cannons, a breech-loaded cannon that can be fired immediately after installing sub-cannons in the open bore of the main cannon. The structural principle is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty Flange machine gun in the human world. , but it is still impossible to compare with real automatic weapons.
Therefore, the ground air defense forces relied entirely on quantity to make up for the lack of fire rate. The shell of the fortress anthill, which was as tall as a hill, was densely covered with thousands of artillery positions, three-quarters of the artillery, and three-quarters of the ballistae. After the first salvo, each artillery position began to fire freely, alternately weaving a barrage of fire nets in the sky!
Countless flying destroyers were hit by seemingly ubiquitous missiles whose trajectories were difficult to detect with the naked eye. Some exploded into a ball of blood and flesh and smoke, some were broken into two pieces, some were blown far away, and some were just wings. Damaged and dangling, he fell unwillingly, and a drizzle of flesh and blood fell from the sky.
However, there were too many Flying Destroyers, and a large number of Flying Destroyers were still involved in the counterattack. Black clouds generally shrouded the entire anthill mountain, and there was indeed a sense of oppression as the black clouds pressed down on the city and threatened to destroy it.
The enemy's dive counterattack poses a great threat to the air defense forces, and they are close to the gun emplacement in just a few breaths. At this time, a tough spider web suddenly appeared in front of him. The cobwebs were already there, but the flying Destroyers, who had poor eyesight, didn't realize it before. They didn't react quickly and ran into them one after another, and then got stuck and couldn't get out.
These trapped Destroyers struggled on their own, and with their combined efforts, they actually broke part of the spider web. But soon, the Angel King warrior riding a Darwin bark spider moved from the safe inside of the spider web, and ended the life of the struggling Destroyer with a single stab of his long poisonous stinging spear, while the spider mount Then he was spinning silk quickly to repair the air defense spider web!
There were also some flying destroyers that rushed into the air defense network through the openings that were torn apart by their companions or hit by anti-aircraft shells, and immediately showed their jaws and stingers towards the anti-aircraft gun emplacements with murderous intent!
Fortunately, there are covering troops at every gun position. In addition to anti-aircraft guns and gunners, there are several groups of covering soldiers on these gun positions platforms, operating guns or equipped with close combat weapons. A few approaching Destroyers were killed with a single blast from their guns. Even if they missed, there were melee infantrymen who risked their lives and came forward to fight. A small number of fish that slipped through the net did not pose much of a threat to the artillery positions.
However, as the number of flying destroyers that rushed in regardless of the situation continued to increase, some gun positions also suffered losses. The gunners were killed and dispersed, the ballistas were violently dismantled, and the artillery was thrown off the turret.
But the Flying Destroyers couldn't concentrate on dealing with the anti-aircraft fire. The Flying Knights who had lured them had regrouped and fought back, mainly fighting with them on the periphery. The Flying Destroyers scattered into small groups could easily be killed by a group of them. Stocks were eaten. As a last resort, half of the Flying Destroyers returned to high altitudes to fight the Flying Knights. During their return and assembly process, they were harvested by anti-aircraft fire!
With the coordination of air and ground, the carefully prepared Army of the God Envoy King gradually took advantage.
The battle continued until the afternoon. After "Rambo Van III" put into reserve - all the combat flying knights riding hornets under his command, the battle was no longer suspense. The flying destroyers that had suffered a large number of casualties were no longer organized. Being divided and strangled.
However, more than half of the flying knights tasked with luring the enemy were lost in fighting and accidental fire from friendly forces. More than 300 ground anti-aircraft gun emplacements were damaged, and the artillery and cover troops suffered thousands of casualties. Fortunately, the artillery was not lost and could be restored soon. In terms of combat effectiveness, the loss of the ballistae was also very slight.
"Rambo Wan III" was very satisfied. This air-ground coordinated ambush battle was fought beautifully, and it was won by the cooperation between him and "Centiper Python III".
"Centiper Python III" is a divine male ant who was born and married in the same batch as him. They grew up together and have a close relationship. The victory of the "Centiper Python III" plan was of great importance, and his active cooperation was also indispensable. The Divine Ants once again proved their leadership on the battlefield and proved that they could provide more for the cause of the Divine Envoy King. Much help.
At some point, several flying knights flying from afar landed next to them, interrupting the pride and reverie of "Rambo III".
He noticed that these Flying Knight messengers were all injured, and some relied on sheer perseverance to persist until they had finished delivering military orders and fell to the ground.
The order came from "Centiper Python III" and was authorized by Zhu Jue. It required all air forces to immediately reinforce the main battlefield!
"Rambo Wan III" felt nervous. It was obvious that something had happened on the main battlefield. The battle must have been difficult and even at a disadvantage. Otherwise, he would not have called for reinforcements so urgently. You must know that the original plan did not specify that the flying knights would have new tasks after the battlefield ended. The default was to rest where they were. Now they are forcing these soldiers, who are exhausted physically and mentally from a battle and most of them are injured, to rejoin the battle. Obviously, the situation is very bad.
"Rambo Wan III" did not dare to delay, and the flying knights who sent orders went out in all directions, issuing orders to the flying knights who were scattered everywhere or had returned to the base. They also sent orders to the ground support troops, in addition to the necessary reconnaissance flying knights who stayed behind. , all other air forces were rearmed and moved quickly to the main battlefield.
At this time, the sun had turned westward and gradually disappeared into a dark cloud. Although it was not dark yet, the earth had already been enveloped in haze.
————
At noon, when the battle on the battlefield was heating up, the third wave of air force led by "Centiper Python III" himself finally arrived at the scheduled battlefield!
There are ruins on the ground, and it is obvious that there used to be a large and continuous ant nest here. But now, groups of destroyers are entrenched in it. It is really a tragic scene where the land of China is sinking and the smell is endless!
