Although the independent corps is half a size higher than the ordinary corps, it is still half a step worse than leading a single corps and affixing a general title to the end of the name.

This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers brought out by Commander Demps over the years, and even spontaneously engaged in a joint lettering activity.

Captain Demps himself had no complaints about this, and in line with the principle of where he needed to go, the book in the joint letter submission activity was not handed over at all, and he was pressed down by himself.

When he arrived at this independent corps, Commander Demps knew that it was not that the top did not pay attention to him, on the contrary, it was putting a burden on him.

Artillery is an unprecedented type of troops, and the coordinated operation of infantry and artillery will be the regular combat mode after the Eternal Night Army.

Only by flexibly mastering this mode of operation can one become a qualified commander.

If you want to know about this branch, what is more convenient than becoming the commander of an independent regiment of this branch?

Therefore, the independent corps is more like a stepping board, and how high he can jump depends on what kind of results he achieves here.

With this realization, Commander Demps naturally did his best to study this new type of troops, not only trying to maximize its power, but also pondering how this battle should be fought if it cooperated with the infantry.

In the course of training, Commander Demps inevitably compared the mortar detachment with the infantry artillery detachment.

I have a deeper understanding of the painstaking efforts of my lords and high-level leaders.

Compared with the latter, the physical fitness requirements of soldiers in the mortar independent corps are obviously higher than those of the infantry artillery independent corps.

Because infantry artillery is usually vehicle-mounted, training a large number of war horses, the use of manpower is too inefficient, even the outstanding strength of the mountain Kentana barbarians, can not last long.

Mortars are different, of course, they can be pulled by carts and horses on flat land, but when they reach the mountainous swamps with complex terrain, they need to be carried by people, so in this corps, the proportion of tall mountain Kentana barbarians is quite high.

Throwing him here, apparently intending to train him into a second Death Scythe with the help of his previous harsh training methods.

"This is the first battle of our artillery, it is a rare opportunity to collect all kinds of mortar combat information, how can I miss it, this is the meaning of my army, if the mortar has problems on the battlefield, I can also carry out battlefield repairs. Master Baker shook his head again and again, and said resolutely.

Master Baker is one of the twin pillars of the Firearms Bureau, and he is distinguished from Director Tobias.

Director Tobias came from a purely technical background, specializing in theoretical design, and most of the technical things of the Firearms Bureau came from him.

Master Baker was born in the army, and before the Independent Engineer Regiment was converted into the Firearms Bureau, he had been specializing in explosives technology, and once personally handled the blasting performance in front of Princess Regent Sophielia, blocking the mountains and blasting, and he was the first-line commander.

After the establishment of the Firearms Bureau, he became a technician, but he still specialized in ammunition, plus combat tests.

After the infantry guns and mortars were put into mass production and installed, Master Baker applied to lead a part of the Firearms Bureau to form a team of engineers to track and record the actual combat situation and accumulate basic data for further improvement.

As the first batch of products, limited by craftsmanship and technology, there are still many problems inside, which are obviously not solved by gunners who have only undergone simple maintenance training, and also need professionals such as Baker masters.

"These tasks can be left to the other engineers in the army, why should Master Baker go out himself, when the time comes, the battle will probably be very tense and urgent, and there will be no time for repairs. Captain Demps shook his head vigorously.

After a few months of getting along, he knew very well the importance of Master Baker to the new branch of artillery, and if there was any mistake on the battlefield, he could not afford to take this responsibility.

"I'm the same engineer, I'm no different from them, don't worry, I know that when the time comes, I'll protect my life as my first priority. "Master Baker clearly knows what Captain Demps is worried about.

"Lord Lord, you see ......" Seeing that there was no way to convince Master Baker, Master Demps could only turn his attention to his lord for help.

After all, the other party is a seconded technician, and although it is temporarily under his own control, it is difficult to give a mandatory order.

"Let him go, after all, he has a lot of experience in this area, maybe he can help, as long as you send someone to keep an eye on him, if necessary, carry him away from the battlefield, remember, your combat range, must be kept above 400 meters, no unauthorized approach, let alone easy to enter, you are only the first line of defense, not the only line of defense, when necessary, abandon the artillery to protect people, they are all the seeds of our artillery." Sean finally clapped.

"Yes. "Captain Demps commanded, Lord Lord's spoke, that is to be hard-headed.

Putting technicians on the front line is a risky move, but it also speeds up the accumulation of experience.

And this time the battle is different from the ordinary battle, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a moving target.

After Sean's repeated provocations by manipulating the Thunder Golden Eagle, the farthest attack range of the Dragon Wreck Battleship has been roughly measured, which is between 350 meters and 400 meters.

The Type 13 mortar equipped by the Mortar Independent Corps, the more accurate name should be the Type 13 medium mortar, which is between portable and towed, with an effective firing range of between 100 meters and 2,500 meters.

Effective doesn't mean precise.

According to the various auxiliary technical means of the Eternal Night Army, the maximum accurate range of the mortar is only 1,200 meters, and this is still with the cooperation of auxiliary combat skills, if it is replaced by the previous six or seven hundred meters, it would be good.

In the middle of the name, a medium-sized is added, naturally to distinguish it.

According to the ammunition fired and their own weight, mortars can be divided into light, medium and heavy.

According to the mode of movement, it can be divided into portable, traction and self-propelled type.

At present, the Firearms Bureau mainly produces light portable and medium-sized portable products.

Among them, the light portable is also known as the guard-level mortar, which is mainly equipped at the guard and squadron level as fire support.

Medium-sized portable mortars are battalion and regimental mortars, which mainly provide fire support at the regimental and battalion levels.

For example, the level of the mortar independent corps should be towed heavy mortars as the main combat weapon according to common sense, but it is obviously not suitable for fighting in a relatively complex environment such as the desperate swamp, so it is temporarily retreated to the second.

After five or six years of fermentation, most of the floodwaters that plagued the Desperate Swamp have receded, and many of the mud swamps have dried up and become fertile ground.

But don't expect this to become a plain with a flat river, there is still relatively much rainfall here, all kinds of small rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and blisters, criss-crossed, still a water town pattern, such as the assault warship is far better than the warhorse.

It is also a pity that the mortars used by the mortar independent corps are mainly portable, which provides the feasibility of interception along the river, and if it is a towed type, it will be troublesome.

Because both sides of the Darren River are relatively soft and half-sandy and half-earth, it is quite troublesome to move if it is towed.

The mortar positions of the Mortar Independence Corps were placed on the south bank of the Darren River, at the corner of the Danube and Darren Rivers.

The main reason for choosing to put positions here was that after the failure of the interception, they quickly inserted diagonally, and then set up a second position on the east bank of the Danube for a second interception.

When the black mist of the dragon wreck battleship approached quickly, they arranged their artillery positions and completed the test firing for nearly half an hour.

"The combat target is expected to arrive at the No. 1 combat area in five minutes!"

"Three minutes!"

"One minute!"

"The operational target entered the operational area No. 1. ”

"Operation Plan No. 1 is activated, and a team sets off flares!"

The reconnaissance cavalry of the Mortar Separate Corps followed the Dragonwreck battleship and relayed the target message to the temporary command post.

Captain Demps gave the order in an orderly manner.

With a popping sound, ten mortar shells rose into the air at the same time with a screech.

The reason why the first wave used flares was not because it was night, the sun was just setting in the west, and it was the best time of the day.

The flare was directed at the black fog circle around the Dragonwreck battleship.

Since the discovery of the trace of the Thunder Golden Eagle, the Dragonwreck Battleship has always maintained a black fog circle with a diameter of hundreds of meters, its purpose is to shield Sean from observing the Dragonwreck Battleship, but he did not expect it to bring a natural obstacle to the artillery interception of the Eternal Night Army.

No one dared to say that the Dragon Skreck Battleship must be located in the very center of this black fog circle.

Even if it was at first, after feeling the power of the shelling, it was not necessarily the case.

Finding a way to crack the Black Mist Zone is the way to go.

Ten flares struck a graceful parabola and smashed directly into the center of the river.

Then ten dull thunderous bangs rang out.

The bright light that made people can't open their eyes burst out from the center of the black fog area, and people couldn't help but open their eyes.

The front-line commanders of Captain Demps had already prepared, with sunglasses of the same style as their own lords on their faces, blocking most of the light, and their eyes looked at the direction of the shelling without blinking.

The first round of shelling, the effect was even better than expected.

There were six straight targets, and the remaining four were no more than ten meters away from the target.

Such a high hit rate is naturally related to the unexpected account and the amount of budget set in advance.

The guy who called himself the god of death didn't have the magical powers of a true god to predict that the Eternal Night Warlord had this new weapon, so the dragon wreck battleship didn't play tricks at all, and was located in the center of the Black Mist Zone.

And now it walks on the Darren River, and in order to increase its speed, it is still walking in the deepest water.

After this series of constraints, if the First Artillery Regiment led by Commander Demps could not hit the target, it would be a shame.

The flares are also incredibly powerful.

The flares they use are not flares in the ordinary sense, but rather light-attribute spell shells.

The black fog wrapped around the dragon wreck battleship is not a fog in the ordinary sense, but a death spell energy formation, a lighting substance in the ordinary sense, and the effect is only afraid of being careless.

To deal with spell energy, it is still spell energy that is most suitable.

In fact, there is not one, but seven types of magic shells in the hands of the Eternal Night Army Leader.

Needless to say, the six types correspond to the six elements, which are flares, black field bombs, incendiary bombs, freezing bombs, seismic bombs, and tearing bombs, as well as pulse bombs made of a mixture of six elements.

Just look at their names, and you can basically know their corresponding attributes.

Flares, corresponding to light attributes, after their explosion, the scattered light attribute spell energy will last for a long time, thus having the auxiliary effect of lighting.

The black domain bullet corresponds to the dark attribute, and the dark attribute spell energy in it has the same effect as the death spell energy, which can form a dark area that blocks the line of sight and perception, and the enveloping range and duration are related to the spell energy contained in it.

Incendiary bombs, which correspond to fire attributes, will have a combustion-boosting effect, regardless of whether you are organic or inorganic, will fall into violent combustion until the magic energy contained in it dissipates to a certain extent.

Freezing Bomb, corresponding to the water attribute, is a highly condensed water element, which is not a simple water element, and when it is released instantly, it will absorb the surrounding energy, thus producing a freezing effect.

Seismic bombs, corresponding to the properties of the earth, are somewhat similar to the water element in principle, and can produce vibrations between the earth and the earth, and then produce the effect of shock waves.

Tearing bullets, corresponding to the wind attribute, the principle should not be difficult to understand, once it explodes, countless wind elements burst out at high speed, that is, an invisible knife, if it is close enough, even steel will be torn, let alone the human body.

The pulse bomb is composed of six mixed elements, and the explosive power of this kind of shell should be considered the largest, and it will form a powerful pulse, hence the name, but the elements in it are too mixed, and there is a little bit of any effect, and nothing is strong, but it is not as characteristic as the first six bullets.

The choice of flares is naturally based on the principle of attribute restraint.

The six elements are mutually reinforcing, and this statement is true in most cases.

At least when the light element and the dark element meet, they will have a neutralizing effect on each other.

In other words, if a black field bomb is shot in front of you, a black field has just been formed, and a flare is smashed on the back foot, which will directly offset the black domain, which is fine.

This is not a theory, but has been verified by the Eternal Night Commander.

Although the death spell energy is magical, and it is even qualified to be called the seventh element, but at the root, it is still the spell energy, especially the dark element, which is the most likely to restrain it.

Whether from the point of view of illumination, or from a neutral angle, flares are the way to go.

The results of the trial proved their guess correct.

The flares that exploded in the black fog area, the light elements rampaged, even from a distance of nearly a thousand meters, it seemed that the sound of the two elements could be heard, and then one after another, thick or faint figures, jumped out of it, letting out a painful wail.

It was the souls who had been imprisoned in the magic energy, and the magic energy of the single attribute was burning them.

However, they seem to hate the black mist that once imprisoned them even more, and turn around to tear the energy out of the black mist.

Every time a part of the energy is torn off from the black mist, their bodies will become richer and their strength will increase.

But more, because the body is too thin, once exposed, it can't last a few seconds at all, and it completely dissipates.

Compared with this unique effect, the explosion effect brought by directly hitting the dragon wreck battleship is a bit insufficient.

"Humble maggots, you dare to attack the great god of death, you are fighting against death, I will kill you all!" The black mist face appeared again, roaring madly towards the position of the 1st Artillery Corps.

"Oh my God, is that still a dragonship? How did it all become bones?"

"Is it the soul we just saw? This black mist is made up entirely of dead souls?"

"Is this really the god of death? Can we defeat death?"

"Oh no, this guy is about to rush over, what should I do? What should I do? Do you want to escape?"

"No chaos, all people, stick to their posts, and those who leave without permission will be dealt with by military law. ”

"Don't be intimidated by this guy, this guy is just bluffing, it can't hurt us. ”

"If he really is the god of death, he will be injured by us just now, and everyone will go according to plan. ”

"Do you remember the name of our battle plan this time? God Butcher, even if he is really a god, let's slaughter it too, God Butcher!"

"God Butcher!"

"God Butcher!"

"God Butcher!"
