A series of requests were conveyed to the guard, and Wei Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The unknown is the scariest thing. Once you really discover the enemy's situation, you won't be so nervous.
He did not ask for the small fixed-wing aircraft to be withdrawn, but instead brought the aircraft closer for reconnaissance.
Even if the support from the empire system cannot arrive in time, at least the aircraft will detect the enemy's whereabouts at a longer distance, giving his group more time to escape.
Wantong, Wuyou, and Yunzhou immediately followed the standard regulations and hid in the bushes. They took a forest camouflage fabric from the guard and covered their bodies to camouflage themselves on the battlefield.
Wantong and Wuhuo's movements were smooth and smooth, showing no control disorder at all.
The control of the cloud axis was a little confusing, obviously due to lack of experience and nervousness, which took more time.
Yun Zhuo disguised himself, lay on the ground, and couldn't help but gently hold the black stone bead on his chest.
It was an ordinary stone bead that Yun Zhu picked up from somewhere many years ago when he was very young.
The material of the beads is somewhat similar to obsidian. It is threaded through a thin high-strength fiber string and worn on the body. This is one of the few childhood toys of Yunzhou.
While waiting for the system instructions, Wei Ling was speculating on the response measures of Yasi County.
After all, the opponent has not yet penetrated into the range supported by the barrier system. Perhaps the empire will send a more powerful team to encircle and suppress this enemy team.
However, the boundary of the barrier is not the boundary of the empire's territory, and the other party has obviously crossed the boundary.
But Welling still has a question. Judging from the current images, the enemy seems to want to build a camp on the outside. What is the purpose of this?
The waiting time was far less long than Welling imagined, because a moment later, he had already heard the sharp roar passing above his head.
Looking up, there are only hundreds of tail marks in the sky left by rockets, missiles and other precision strike weapons passing by and causing ballistic disturbances in the air.
Welling instantly turned his attention to the detection screen of the rotary-wing aircraft.
In that flash of lightning, hundreds of rockets and missiles had arrived at the predetermined coordinates, rushing towards the opponent's camp like streaks of lightning.
The security facilities at Xixuan Camp had already detected the air attack before the missiles arrived, and several small air defense formations were already spitting out flames.
Directed energy weapons and magnetic storm devices located in every corner of the camp emitted rays of light, almost forming a dense grid over the entire camp to intercept sudden air attacks.
Most of the rockets and missiles had been exploded in the air before landing, and countless debris fell slowly with flames.
On the ground, the enemy has long been hidden, and the jumping and cruising mechanical locusts cannot be seen.
Because almost all mechanical locusts are in a squatting posture, pointing their mouthparts at the sky, firing their high-speed weapons one by one to lock on the approaching missiles and rockets, spitting out tongues of fire.
Judging from the real-time images, the missiles and rockets in the imperial air strike were almost completely destroyed, and the purpose of the air strike was not achieved at all.
However, the accident happened right after the exploded missiles and rockets.
A small number of small black dots mixed in the clusters of rockets and missiles. Their small size and faster speed cannot be shielded by the air defense force of the Xixuan Camp.
That is the most traditional artillery shell, and it is also the conventional warhead fired by the new super cannon and howitzer, with a range of more than three hundred kilometers.
Some howitzers are also loaded with submunitions, guided shells, incendiary shells and chemical shells.
Almost no shells were lost, and all fell into the predetermined ground area!
In the image from the fixed-wing aircraft, the focused area almost became a violent sea of fire.
Almost all the armored huts turned into fragments that were violently torn apart and scattered in all directions.
Enemies covered in flames were shouting and fleeing in confusion, hoping to escape from the attack range.
The biggest result of this wave of traditional artillery attacks was that the Phalanx, directed energy and magnetic storm weapons fixed in the corners of the camp were almost wiped out.
However, the matter was not over yet. Just when Welling was regretting that the mechanical locusts did not seem to be devastated, a late missile appeared in his sight.
This missile was probably launched last. It successfully avoided interception by ground air defense forces, reached its target with unimaginable smoothness, crashed into the center of the camp, and exploded.
The initial explosion didn't seem to be too powerful.
The blazing explosion tore apart and shattered all objects in the central area, forming a crimson hemisphere visible to all eyes. That hemisphere seemed to be filled with even more destructive energy.
Just tens of thousands of seconds later, an even more violent explosion occurred.
This second explosion turned an area of several hundred meters into a larger sea of hell.
However, it was not over yet. After the second explosion, the debris within a radius of several hundred meters seemed to suddenly shrink towards the center.
In that thousandth of a second, all the surrounding air seemed to be sucked in!
The fuel-rich products produced after the second explosion, combined with the pre-mixed powders of aluminum, boron, silicon, titanium, magnesium, zirconium and other substances, caused a third, more violent and large-scale explosion.
The explosion produced a high-pressure shock wave that lasted for several seconds, and the burning area also expanded to a radius of 500 meters.
A mushroom cloud mixed with dark red and black clouds rose in sight.
Thermobaric bomb, the legendary thermobaric bomb!
With Welling's eyesight, he could only see that the few remaining mechanical locusts outside the camp had not been completely powdered, but had turned into countless stumps and were thrown in all directions.
Is this the power of thermobaric bombs?
Wei Ling was secretly wary. In the face of such a thermobaric bomb, which was second only to a nuclear explosion, no matter how powerful the warlock was, he would probably be able to hold on for only a second and then disappear.
According to the information currently available, thermobaric bombs are already the most extreme weapons that can be used in the world. All super strategic weapons such as nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs are not allowed to be used.
However, the empire actually used thermobaric bombs against such a small enemy camp!
Is this necessary?
what does that mean?
Is the empire already so arrogant or timid?
Welling had too many doubts in his heart, but not much information to support his predictions and judgments.
Faintly, Wei Ling had a guess in his mind.
Maybe there are already a large number of enemy camps like this in the northwest, due west and southwest directions of the entire Yasi County.
The Xixuan Federation is weaving a line of defense or a strangulating front line, and once the time is right, it will fully attack Yaxi County.
Only when dozens or hundreds of such points are lined up in a line, forming a real threat of cannibalization, can the empire adopt the strategy of violently demolishing the points and then sending out some small teams to defeat them one by one.
Before Welling could further analyze the possibility of this "killing a chicken with a bull's-eye" strategy, the system information was sent to several people's minds via the Shou Gong platform:
To evaluate the results of the air strike, and after eliminating danger, you can consider sweeping the battlefield to look for useful information.
In the picture transmitted by the aircraft, the area hit by the air raid gradually became calm. Except for some rising smoke, no living people or moving facilities were found.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Welling once again confirmed that there should be no more dangers in that area, and then ordered the garrison to report the barrier, send back all the captured air raid images, and decided to clean up the battlefield.
Based on Welling's knowledge of the power of thermobaric bombs, he didn't think there would be much danger at the scene.
Once the decision was made, the group moved quickly towards the target. The detection aircraft above their heads was in the sky above, giving Welling a clear decision-making image.
After about half an hour of rapid march, several people arrived at the area where the air raid was taking place.
The entire area hit by air strikes has been bombarded by thermobaric bombs into a depression about 500 meters in diameter.
There are still some bare trees on the periphery, with sporadic residual fire smoke and green smoke, all leaning towards the periphery.
Countless blackened pieces of broken metal and charred stumps covered the entire area.
The surroundings were completely silent, except for the slight footsteps of a few people moving forward cautiously and scanning around.
Wei Ling's eyes were slightly closed, and his consciousness analyzed all the subtle movements in the world of Yuan Ling.
The further inside you go, the smoother the ground becomes.
In some places, you can already see the flow of glassy rock, soil and metal mixed together after being instantly melted by ultra-high temperatures.
There were also some other black, shapeless marks.
These things are mottled and variegated, but they shine with the light of glass and metal in the sky, like a strange abstract painting.
"Yun Zhu, calm down, not all enemies may be dead!"
Seeing that the "Lynx Type IV" controlled by Yun Zhu was somewhat deformed, Welling reminded him.
After taking a breath of the slightly weird air, Welling glanced around the battlefield as smooth as a mirror and calmly ordered:
"Spread around and search, and keep watch in the center.
Others collected pieces of enemy equipment, especially those from the mechanical locusts. "
After the order was given, Welling immediately walked towards the outside of the explosion point.
Near the explosion point, basically everything is melted and mixed together, and there won't be anything valuable at all.
There are only some damaged material samples on the periphery that can be analyzed by the imperial military.
His consciousness was released, and his mind scanned everything around him.
Welling discovered that the scanning range of his spiritual consciousness now exceeded two hundred meters, which was nearly double the distance when he discovered the mysterious masked warlock at night during his first patrol.
Just as Wei Ling was analyzing secretly, he suddenly felt a sharp pain like a needle pricking between his eyebrows, and a feeling of fatal threat surged into his heart!
"There are remaining enemies! Be alert! Attack!"
Welling only had time to send an early warning message to his companions, and his body immediately fell to the ground on the right.
As a wisdom warlock and an origin warlock, he had instantly judged that he was locked by the enemy's "sure-hit" spell.
The opponent is a golden spirit warlock, and he has already used a large-caliber firearm to attack!
The other party did not take the lead in attacking Wantong, Wuhuang and Yunzhu, because they also judged that they were the greatest threat in the team because they were wearing warlock robes.
Welling's body only tilted less than thirty centimeters to the right, and a bullet with a caliber of up to 20 mm had already arrived!
At that moment, Welling felt as if the whole world had stopped. The high-speed rotating bullet emitted fiery energy, broke through the blocked air, and hit Welling's left shoulder with deadly accuracy. Shoulder socket.
If Welling hadn't tilted to the right without hesitation, the bullet would have hit him directly in the face!
In the ten thousandth of a second before the bullet hit his shoulder, Welling had locked onto the bullet and added a rusty spell to it.
At the same time, a water shield spell and a wood spirit body protection spell were simultaneously applied to his body.
Although Wei Ling did not expect that he could cast three spells instantly in such a short period of time, he understood that this was not enough.
Because he felt that his body had been overturned by a huge force, and he heard the sonic boom of the bullet shattering the magic shield, and also heard the muffled sound when it hit the shoulder socket!
He felt his body being thrown away by the huge force, falling backward to the ground at a faster speed, and the severe pain had been transmitted to his brain.
However, Welling did not hear the sound of bones breaking, nor the sound of muscles and tendons tearing, which gave him infinite confidence at that moment.
He did not deliberately adjust his unbalanced body, but in such a short period of time, he captured the approximate location of the enemy through the direction of the bullet's attack.
It was outside the explosion point, next to a rock shelter six hundred meters away. Welling discovered the protruding barrel and the slight trembling of the barrel!
