Red Rock Front.
"fire!"
Following the commander's order, rows of gun barrels suddenly jerked back, and large flames spewed out from the muzzles.
Thousands of artillery shells streaked across the sky with a sharp sound, and landed on the laterite mountains one after another, blasting out springs of mud and rocks.
A cannonball landed in the bushes, immediately blowing out the people hiding inside. The body was shattered into pieces, and the hands and feet flew into the air. It was extremely cruel.
"Get ready for the next round of shelling!"
Just as the artillery mecha pulled out of the shell shell and loaded new ammunition, the artillery mecha on the Red Rock Mountains launched a new round of counterattack.
The dull sound of artillery resounded across the sky. A few seconds later, countless cannonballs exploded on the red earth, and a ten-meter-high earth spring rose into the sky, like a huge flower blooming in the red wasteland.
A cannonball exploded between the two mechas, and the huge impact knocked the several-ton mecha over. However, after a short while, the pilot recovered from the shock and dizziness, and the mecha stood up again. Get up and fire the cannonball.
This is the first stage of the clay world war, the artillery showdown.
This is very similar to the World War II period on Earth. Come up and fire a round of artillery, blasting the opponent so hard that they can't find their way, and then launch a charge.
It was only in the later stages of World War II that missile-like weapons of mass destruction were developed, and even nuclear bombs appeared.
In fact, the red earth world has also experienced this process, and the war finally evolved into a duel of ultra-long-range nuclear bombs.
But after experiencing the catastrophe and spiritual recovery, the top combat power in the red earth world has changed from nuclear bombs to super strong ones.
Nuclear bombs can cause devastating damage to ordinary soldiers, but to super strong people, their power is not obvious.
And compared to the environmental damage caused by nuclear bombs, superpowers are more environmentally friendly. Therefore, the main force for mankind to fight against alien threats has changed from nuclear bombs to superpowers.
And how to cultivate more superpowers has also become an important topic for the Human Survival Committee.
War is undoubtedly the best place to cultivate strong men. On the battlefield of blood and fire, evolvers grow the fastest.
But if weapons of mass destruction were thrown in, the war would be over before it even started.
Therefore, the Human Survival Committee restricted the development of weapons of mass destruction, allowing the bottom soldiers on both sides of the war to have the opportunity to fight and grow.
At the same time, limiting weapons of mass destruction can also reduce the oppression of the superpowers on the bottom.
Imagine a giant beast that is not afraid of pesticides versus a group of ants. When the pesticides fall, the giant beast will be the one who ultimately benefits.
But if there are no pesticides, the ants' numerical advantage will become apparent, and they will have the opportunity to kill the giant beast.
For many reasons, weapons of mass destruction have been hidden and their production and research are prohibited.
Artillery is currently the only thermal weapon that can cause damage on a certain scale. But in fact, very few soldiers actually died from artillery fire in the war, less than one percent. The role of artillery is more to intimidate and threaten than to kill.
The artillery of the Red Dragon Principality is mainly Art6 produced by Red Clay Heavy Industry.
Art6 is a humanoid artillery mecha with the barrel designed on the shoulder. It is available in single barrel and double barrel models. The production code name of the double barrel is Art6-T, commonly known as "shoulder double gun".
The artillery of the Chiyan Principality is the MST produced by Chongshan Industrial.
MST is the abbreviation of "Mountain Spider Tank", commonly known as "Mountain Spider". It is an artillery mecha with six mechanical legs. It has excellent mountain adaptability, but the price is twice as expensive as Art6.
The territory of the Red Dragon Principality is mostly plains and does not require climbing, so there are not many mountain mechas deployed.
The Red Dragon Principality has more than three thousand artillery mechas, while the Chiyan Principality only has six or seven hundred.
Although the number is small, Chiyan has a terrain advantage and is condescending. The artillery has a longer range and is easier to aim.
After several rounds of artillery fire, the results were almost the same.
The artillery duel lasted for three days and three nights, with both sides throwing most of the artillery shells onto the other side's position.
"After receiving the order from the summit, we will launch a general offensive at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
On the position of the 79th Independent Battalion of the Third Army of the Red Dragon Principality, the military police captain issued Earl George's military order to Baron John Prader.
"Ah?" Baron Prader was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react. "You mean, we are going to attack tomorrow?" He subconsciously looked at the red rock mountains in the distance. The steep laterite mountains were difficult to climb. It's difficult, not to mention there are enemies above, and it's simply an impossible task.
What madman came up with this?
He forcefully resisted the urge to curse.
"You heard that right, we will attack at six o'clock tomorrow morning." the military police captain repeated, his expression serious and not joking at all. As if he could understand Baron Prader's mood, he added, "This is the decision of the person above."
In the aristocratic circle of the Red Dragon Principality, everyone knows who the "one above" refers to.
"I understand, I will be on time for the battle tomorrow."
How could Baron Prader, who was as small as dust, question a king-level decision.
Although he wanted to object and even thought of taking people away, everything was just his fantasy.
Originally, he thought they were just shelling each other on the Chiyan front line to create some military friction, but he didn't expect that they were directly launching a death charge, and it came so quickly.
The kings of the past generations, even if they could not think of attacking the Red Rock Mountains, would not be as unprepared as they are now. The one above really thought that everyone could fly into the sky and escape like her.
The gaze of the military police captain swept back and forth in the camp, observing every move of the soldiers, like an alert hound.
Baron Prader wanted to leave, but he knew in his heart that as long as the other party found the slightest sign of escaping, they would immediately notify the strong men of the military police department and execute them on the spot.
Not only that, the Prad family will be accused of deserters and will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever until the surname dies.
The red country favors martial arts and respects the strong. Once you desert, not only will your personal reputation be ruined, but your family will also be discriminated against and implicated. Therefore, even the lowest-level mercenaries rarely desert.
At six o'clock the next morning, an order swept across the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Red Dragon Principality launched a massive charge.
More than 100,000 people were mobilized, and the battlefield spanned dozens of kilometers.
"Kill!" "For the princess, for the glory!" "The holy light guides us to victory." "The power of the red dragon is invincible!"
In the endless wasteland, a tide of mechas and soldiers rushed towards the laterite mountains.
"The enemy is within range, fire with full force!"
The Red Rock soldiers on the mountain peak came out of their bunkers and shot at the Red Dragon soldiers below.
"Blow them up!"
The can-like grenade bounced along the hillside, and finally fell next to several Red Dragon soldiers who were climbing the mountain.
"boom!"
There was a flash of fire, sand erupted, and the two nearest Red Dragon soldiers were blown away. The remaining ones raised their assault rifles and fought back.
"Kill all these red rock pigs!"
Bullets were fired wildly, but the upward field of view was very narrow, and the enemy's position could not be seen at all, so he could only shoot in the general direction.
On a certain mountain, Baron Prader, his two sons and all the combatants from Prader Town climbed up little by little.
Baron Prader sat in the cockpit of the Valkyrie, controlling the body with a brainwave headband, and rushed to the front. The bullet hit the thick steel plate, clanging and sparks flying.
As the Valkyrie climbed up, she used the machine gun on her shoulder to suppress fire from above.
The most cumbersome Art6 at the rear of the team was climbing on hands and feet. The artillery could only be effective after occupying the high ground.
In the bushes above, a sand camel suddenly appeared, and four Vulcan cannons under its iron wings spurted out tongues of fire at the same time.
Dense bullets swarmed out, hitting the mountain below with billows of smoke. The soldiers in Prad Town hurriedly looked for bunkers, and a few who could not escape were blasted to pieces by Vulcan cannons on the spot, and their broken bones and flesh fell down in a splatter.
"Peter, knock it off!"
Peter, who was behind the bunker, quickly pulled the bolt and loaded the weapon, condensing his psychic energy, and then shot the cockpit of the sand camel above him.
Blood sprayed on the glass of the cockpit. The sand camel lost control. Its two slender mechanical legs tilted to one side and rolled down the mountain with a clang.
"Be careful!" "Get out of the way!" "Ah!"
A soldier was unable to dodge and was hit by the rolling sand camel, and fell down with him.
On the other side of the mountain, the same thing is happening. The soldiers of the Red Dragon Principality braved the hail of bullets and struggled to climb the steep slope. From time to time, one or two grenades dropped, making their ears buzz.
The soldiers were like ants climbing up a glass. Some fell down and others rushed up.
The soldiers in Prad Town climbed up a while and encountered enemy firepower again. This firepower point consists of a team of twelve Chiyan soldiers and two heavy machine guns. It is hidden in the gap of the cliff and is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Sniper rifles are ineffective from this angle. Chiyan soldiers threw incendiary grenades one after another, burning the place below into a sea of fire.
"Commando, take out the fire points!"
"coming!"
Sean waved and led a team of commandos wearing armor with a blue light film emerging from their bodies to break through the line of fire and climb up despite the firepower of two heavy machine guns.
"Da da da da da da da!"
A series of bullets hit the assault soldiers in the front row, and blue star sand flew everywhere.
The psychic armor was quickly consumed, the armor was dented, and a large amount of blood overflowed from the gaps.
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
The commandos screamed and charged upwards, only to be knocked down by fierce firepower. A large area of the chest was sunken in, and an unknown number of ribs were broken.
The personnel at the rear immediately took up the task and continued to approach despite the firepower.
"Hurry!" "We'll be there soon!"
When he was about to reach the point of fire, Sean rushed forward with all his strength and threw himself into the gap. He pulled out his sword and stabbed the Chiyan soldiers inside wildly.
"Puff puff!"
The sword stabbed into the machine gunner's stomach continuously. The white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the bright red intestines flowed out. The scene was extremely bloody.
"Kill them!"
"I asked you to hide, I asked you to hide!"
A Prader commando pressed a Red Rock soldier against the mountain wall and smashed the opponent's head until the flesh was bloody and the whole head was deformed.
After half an hour of bloody battle, the Valkyrie driven by Baron Prader was finally the first to rush up the hill.
But as soon as it emerged, a large number of rockets were fired from the higher mountain opposite, causing the entire mountain top to burst into flames, smoke and dust billowing, and the vision blurred.
"Disperse quickly!" "Find a bunker and hold on here!"
"Roar!"
Before the soldiers could take a breath, they heard a deafening roar.
Several white tigers covered in iron armor appeared on the top of the mountain, with emeralds embedded in their foreheads. They were huge, more than two meters tall and more than five meters long, like a military truck.
"Yu Ling!"
Baron Prader loudly warned the soldiers at the rear. An armored tiger tilted its head and locked its green eyes on the Valkyrie. With a roar, he rushed over.
