Chen Xing's words were like poking a hornet's nest. The Four Nations Alliance was full of verbal and verbal criticism. Wei Haitang even called Qin Wu directly: "Fight, beat me to death!"
"The troops are all gone, I'll replenish them for you!"
As the head of a medium-sized principality, Wei Haitang did have the confidence to say such a thing. Including the refugees, the Silver Claw Principality has a population of more than 30 million, a standing army of 700,000, and a reserve force of 2 million. It can mobilize a million-level army at any time.
Qin Wu had a character that was determined to retaliate. He suffered losses at the hands of Chen Xing one after another. He did not need Wei Haitang to speak. Within a few days, he regrouped his troops and led an army of 700,000 to kill Chen Xing in Fenghua. rock group.
He is very confident in his own strength. Looking at the entire Red Dragon Principality, the only ones who can resist the Gluttonous Lord are the Princess of the North and the Grand Duke of the Red Dragon. Needless to say about the former, he could only take a detour when he saw the king-level supreme power, but the other party was restricted by the "King's Declaration" and could not take action. The Grand Duke of the Red Dragon is a legendary powerhouse at the level of a small king. According to convention, he will not take action until he reaches the capital of the principality.
Therefore, he is invincible here.
Although the opponent occupies the terrain advantage, he also has a numerical advantage. In his eyes, soldiers' lives are just for consumption. With 700,000 people rushing forward and cooperating with his gluttonous monarch, what kind of position cannot be defeated?
At this moment, in the central area of the Ghost Crying Plain, tens of thousands of soldiers were hiding among the weathered rocks, holding steel guns, waiting for the war to come.
However, they were generally in a calm mood and were not disturbed by the fact that several times more enemy troops were advancing towards this place. They were either smoking cigarettes or whispering to each other, with low laughter coming from time to time, looking very relaxed.
Guarding the weathered rock group are the central army and the right army. The soldiers are basically mercenaries. Fighting is a common occurrence and is not unusual. Another small group are troops from more than a dozen edge towns in the Northern Wasteland. These people have been fighting mutant creatures in the wasteland all year round, and their psychological quality is relatively tough.
In contrast, the atmosphere in the reserve army, whose front was located more than 30 kilometers behind the weathered rocks, was very tense. Most of these people are new soldiers. It is their first time to go to the battlefield. You can often see people retching due to excessive nervousness.
The left army was guarding the corner of the Nolan Snow Mountain in the northeast of the weathered rock group. This place has the highest terrain, difficult terrain, and the strongest defensive capabilities. Qin Wu basically would not be interested here.
The commander of the left army is Viscount Ramon, and the main components of the army are the private armies of the Ramon family, personnel drawn from the private armies of the major families in Dragon City, and recruits recruited by the Red Dragon Principality.
Both the left army and the right army were troops that Chen Xing had weak control over.
In terms of "tie", the tie between the Zuo Army, the Reserve Army, the Logistics Brigade and Chen Xing is "the same dynasty and ministers", the tie between the Right Army and Chen Xing is "common ideals", and the tie between the Chinese Army and Chen Xing is The bond between them is a "personal friendship", while the Guards and the reconnaissance brigade are a "community of destiny."
Closeness and distance are clear at a glance.
Generally speaking, Chen Xing should give priority to placing the collateral troops on the main battlefield of the Weathered Rock Group and the direct troops on the Nolan Snow Mountain defense line to reduce battle losses.
However, leaving aside the logistics brigade that has no combat capability and the reserve army that supplements the battle losses of each army, among the three main armies of the left, center and right, the center army has the largest number 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 through the Ghost Crying Plains into the hinterland of the Red Dragon Principality and approach the Crow Ruins.
Qin Wu did not need to pay attention to the garrison on Nolan Snow Mountain to achieve his strategic goals. And when that time comes, Chen Xing will be charged with poor defense and will resign under pressure from public opinion.
job.
Therefore, weathered rock groups cannot be missed.
"Enemy found, enemy found!"
“Every unit is ready to fight, every unit is ready to fight!”
On the distant horizon, dark troops appeared. There are many people and it stretches for dozens of kilometers.
"Artillery mecha, prepare to shoot!"
"Load and release!"
The expeditionary force's artillery mecha took the lead. The weathered rock group has a higher terrain, a wider field of vision, and a longer range.
The roar of artillery sounded, and hundreds of artillery shells pierced the sky and fell into the enemy's position with a sharp roar.
Amidst the dull explosions, earthen springs rose into the sky. The enemy soldiers who were directly hit by the shells were torn into pieces on the spot, and their broken bodies were blown into the air, flying like kites with broken strings, and then plunged to the ground mixed with blood and sand.
After several rounds of shelling, the roar of artillery also sounded from the opposite position.
The two armies faced off, and the first round was an "artillery showdown." Both sides bombarded for several days and nights, destroying their positions to pieces, and then launched a charge.
As the red earth world has experienced the apocalypse of nuclear bombs, weapons of mass destruction have been completely banned, and artillery is currently the only weapon of mass destruction.
"Lie down!"
The sharp whistling sound of the cannonballs landed in the weathered rocks one after another, exploding earthen springs several feet high.
Soldiers hid in bomb craters or behind weathered rocks, huddled together, covering their ringing ears. Dust fell all over the sky, and the whole person turned into a ball of mud.
Deep in the weathered rock group, in a weathered rock cave, Chen Xing and Xiang Caidi stood side by side, staring at the three-dimensional combat map in front of them.
Also in the command room were Jian Yue Canglian and other guards, as well as Xiao Yang, the driver and assistant.
A virtual keyboard floated in front of Chen Xing, and the keys lit up as his fingers tapped. On the suspended screen, rows of coordinates scrolled upward under Chen Xing's input, and a model of an artillery mecha appeared on the three-dimensional map.
"The Seventh Artillery Squadron, loaded with grenades, direction 11:16, distance 7.28 kilometers, elevation angle 47.5 degrees..."
"Twelfth Artillery Squadron, loaded with grenades, direction 9:45, distance 8.92 kilometers, elevation angle 49.7 degrees..."
Tactical satellites in space continuously transmit the positions of enemy artillery mechas on the battlefield to Chen Xing's mind. Chen Xing then inputs the coordinates into the combat map. Xiang Caidi then uses a walkie-talkie to direct the artillery troops to carry out precise strikes.
In the clay world, "artillery" generally refers to "cannon howitzer", which can be loaded with two types of shells, namely cannon shells and grenades. The former can be ejected directly or at low angles, and the combat distance is usually about two thousand meters, and the furthest is no more than five kilometers. Its main purpose is to penetrate fortifications or armored units, while the latter can be ejected at long distances and at large angles, and its main function is long-range fire coverage. , carry out shocking killings.
Although the maximum range of grenades can reach seventy or eighty kilometers or even further, due to the influence of wind and distance, the accuracy of grenades exceeding ten kilometers will be very low, so artillery duels are basically within a range of ten kilometers.
Among Chen Xing's direct subordinates, only Lin Shiyuan and Xiang Caidi have military talents. Lin Shiyuan is good at defensive formations and logistical support, while Xiang Caidi is good at artillery command.
After receiving the commander's order, the artillery unit immediately adjusted its angle and direction. The artillery support hand picked up the heavy shell, stuffed it into the barrel, closed the cover hard, and locked the safety lock.
"Ammunition loading
complete! "
"Get ready, fire!"
Three rows of cannon barrels mounted on the mecha's shoulders jerked backwards, spurting out large swaths of flame.
This is a squadron of artillery mechas, with twelve in each squad, a total of one hundred and forty-four in the twelve squads. The scene of simultaneous firing is extremely spectacular.
More than a hundred shells came out of the gun, flew across the sky in a long arc, and landed accurately on the heads of a group of mottled and old mechas.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Grenades were flying everywhere, and the artillery mecha was blown up and down. Twisted steel plates and broken parts were thrown into the air.
High-temperature and sharp shrapnel whirled past, slicing off the head of one of the narrator's support workers who was responsible for loading ammunition, while another female support worker's abdomen was scratched by a corner of the shrapnel, causing her intestines to flow all over the floor. The smoke passed and the ground was in a mess.
Although the thick armor can withstand high temperatures and explosions, it cannot offset the impact of the explosion. The pilot in the cockpit was bleeding from his mouth and nose and died with his eyes wide open.
In this precise round of bombardment, except for a few who had psychic armor that could offset the internal impact, the two teams, twenty-four artillery mechas, and forty-eight support personnel were all killed.
The cruelty of war is deplorable.
Chen Xing used the precise positioning of tactical satellites and cooperated with Xiang Caidi's artillery command. Less than an hour after the war started, he continuously destroyed eight coalition artillery positions.
"Sir, the firepower from the opposite side is so fierce that our artillery unit cannot stand at all!"
In the command camp of the Four-Nation Allied Forces, the artillery battalion captain reported eagerly to the marshal of the allied forces. They have lost two artillery squadrons and more than 300 mechas. If this continues, the entire artillery brigade will be crippled.
"How is that possible!" Qin Wu was shocked. According to reports, the expeditionary force only has 3,000 artillery mechas, of which 1,000 are deployed on the southwest line of Nolan Snow Mountain. All things considered, there are only about 2,000 units here in the Weathered Rock Group.
Although the artillery mechas on the coalition side are a bit older, there is an artillery brigade, and together with those deployed by other armored divisions, there are more than 5,000 mechas. The firepower is stronger than the opponent's.
"I don't know why, but their artillery shells seem to have eyes. They hit wherever they point. The hit rate is too high!" said the artillery battalion captain. He felt it was too abnormal. The accuracy of the opponent's artillery shells was almost as accurate as the tactical missiles before the cataclysm.
Qin Wu thought for a while and ordered, "The artillery position retreated five kilometers."
In the last fight, he already knew clearly that Chen Xing's Heavenly Arms were tactical satellites.
Things manifested by psychic energy have very obvious characteristics, such as unstable energy positions, carrying the user's life mark, etc.
Secondly, imperial spirits, fake weapons, and heavenly weapons all have different energy structures and amplitudes, so it is not difficult to distinguish them.
If satellites have positioning capabilities, it is not surprising that artillery is accurate.
There are various indications that the opponent's satellite does not have unlimited visual range, but has a certain detection range. It's just that he doesn't know exactly how big this range is, so he can only try it step by step.
Sure enough, after retreating five kilometers, the extremely precise shelling disappeared.
However, after increasing the distance, the hit rate of both sides' artillery dropped significantly. Chen Xing directly ordered to stop the bombardment, save ammunition, and continue to wait and see.
Anyway, he is not the attacker, so don't be in a hurry, just take your time.
