Chapter Eighty-Five: Lost Lei Lou
As the sun set, the warriors in the trenches had begun to pass the time by killing the wild animals in front of the position that were gnawing on the corpses, but the enemy still did not come.
"Looking at this posture, eighty percent of them are going to fight at night." The commander of the fourth company skillfully washed the teapot and teacup with boiling water, "Do you want a cup?" The best autumn tea, sent by my dad. ”
"No need. I have this. The commander of the fifth company sat on the ammunition box with a telescope, trying to search for any enemy image that might appear. Next to him was a bowl of instant noodles that had not yet been soaked after the package was opened, waiting for the hot soup to be brought by the cooking class. He searched for a long time, and then put down the telescope in disappointment: "Instead of worrying in the dark light, I feel that it is appropriate to have a counter-charge." ”
"Boom!" There was another crisp gunshot, and a wild wolf that had boldly crossed the position fell to the ground. The commander of the fourth company couldn't help but scold his mother. Because his hand holding the thermos was shaken by the sudden sound of gunfire. Fortunately, he didn't shake too much, otherwise the water would have scalded his own hands.
"If you don't charge, you have to be afraid of how many people you fight......"
"If they don't come out at night, we won't sleep with them? What do you think this is ......?"
"Huh." The commander of the fourth company took a sip of tea. "Make a report, blow him up with the regiment's rocket artillery, or if he doesn't come out again, it will be a real hell."
"Don't talk about this grievance! Lao Tzu eats noodles first! The commander of the fifth company patted his ass and stood up from the ammunition box. In the traffic trench behind, the cooking team is pushing the soup pot and bread frame slowly. The lid of the pot did not block the tantalizing aroma of beef and tomatoes, which made everyone in the field hungry.
The head of the company had to obediently line up in front of the cooks to receive the soup at this time. The soldiers took their lunch boxes with soup and pieces of meat, took bread and returned to the trenches to eat. The company commander was special, he just wanted to soak his noodles in beef - the bread was eaten with soup, and he really couldn't eat it.
Self-heating food and even more frantic compressed dry food, at this time, had to be reduced to a cold palace within a cold palace.
"Phew!" At the top of the mountain in the distance, the Scout Five, who were using the Distant View Magic, began to curse or spit. Just by looking at the fresh broth, you can imagine how good it tastes. The only way the Northern Army could obtain fresh meat locally was to hunt and use a lot of magic to maintain the delivery of fresh meat in the rear. The amount of troops that can be obtained every day by assigning to the bottom scout is extremely rare.
"It's good now. I don't think that the soldiers who ate biscuits with bacon would be able to break into the enemy camp at night......"
"The attack that the general has asked for cannot be changed. We're just here to mark the special mages who can take down the steel golems...... Don't overthink it. ”
"That thing can only keep a certain distance from deception. I can only pray that the night will give the brothers plenty of cover. A magician said helplessly as he took the note.
"God......" The sorcerers who were still watching began to curse. What the hell is that? ”
As the sunset faded, the searchlights on the position were lit. "Damn it! Such a bright light magic! The hearts of the people were half cold. If you are exposed to such direct light, you will not even be able to open your eyes.
"We have to report this to the rear quickly...... From now on, only the Dense Mist Magic can attack! As soon as he finished speaking, one of the scouts quickly slid down the hill, summoning the messenger demon.
The pillar of light in front of the position was still moving back and forth at this time. Relying solely on the shelter that mimics the surrounding environment can still send troops to the meat grinder at the exit of the valley at night, but under the illumination of such a pillar of light, I am afraid that even the death line during the day will be discovered. Such a night battle is not at all more advantageous than the daytime. In the end, the massacre in the afternoon would continue to repeat itself in the evening.
"Although using such a magic mask to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred...... But is this the only way to get into the enemy camp? ”
"Yes...... I also know that such magic cannot be used lightly. But you also know Yurde's decision, Shogun. ”
"Then it's up to you. A fight for life and death is all tonight......" There was a sigh as the footsteps moved away.
The army gradually advanced, step by step into a thick fog that did not know the good luck and could not find the way back. The soldier walking in the back could only see the back of the soldier in front. The only thing they could pray for was that the enemy's powerful fire magic would not be blinded by the great walking shield in front of them, and that they would be able to keep their lives alive and roll into the trench where the enemy mage was stationed with the last charge, exchange my life for his life, and escape in your life or death.
"What? Dense fog, you say? What nature? The commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment also anxiously asked the operator of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft at this moment.
"In terms of nature, it is not much different from ordinary water vapor mist." The controller turned on the IR mode. "Now that the water vapor absorbs the infrared rays, we can't see anything. Oh, and the fog is also moving forward, and the fog behind is gradually drifting away. ”
"I really don't know what to do, I really think I'm an actor when I set up the stage?" The regimental commander had no time to report the situation and wait for instructions. Toss it in like this again, and wait until the thick fog mixes up your own people and enemies, and either the strong man cuts his wrists or adds oil to the bottomless pit, and it is too late to say anything.
"Pass my orders! The artillery battalion maneuvered forward, and the fire covered the enemy's fog azimuth! ”
"Yes!"
"Wait!" The regimental commander thought suddenly. What if the enemy only uses these forces to test the intensity of fire? "Hmph, the order is as usual. If you want to try how many catties and taels we can have, then try it with your life! ”
Three kilometers behind the position of the 1st battalion, the 212 jeeps of the artillery battalion quickly maneuvered into place with rocket artillery. The 63-Type 107 rocket launchers, which weighed less than 700 kilograms, carried a large amount of ammunition in one jeepra -- each ammunition weighed less than 20 kilograms, which was more than enough. This weapon is a great weapon against an enemy force that has already launched an offensive posture. If you want to use that long-range fire of a BMW 3 Series in the other world, then there is really nothing to say. In the case of only a quarter of the Elta automobile troops and artillerymen who have undergone complete emergency training, a quarter of them are from the PLA and the remaining half are from temporary recruitment, so they can only play with BJ212 and 63 rocket artillery.
Placing the hoe and adjusting the angle of fire are all professional tasks that can be done by themselves. The improvised artillerymen unloaded the shells from the vehicles next to the gun carriages and loaded the shells into the chambers. One of the advantages of the 12-pack 63 type is that it is convenient for manual loading, and there is no need for the crane and auxiliary rod required for the loading of rocket artillery above 122mm, and the loading is all by hand. Even the full manual reloading was faster than the modular reloading of some rocket launchers, and the reason for this could only be that the design at the time was too much in line with Elta's operational conditions.
The twelve rocket launchers were quickly loaded, and the group of cannon barrels glowing in the night sky looked doubly hideous at this time. From a distance, I only saw the officer's hand wave downward, his mouth open and closed, and the twelve guns with a total of 144 barrels instantly emitted a dazzling red light.
Rockets with fiery tails in the night sky create a long red line with the residual image mechanism of the human eye, and at the end of the red line is the enemy battle formation that is still advancing with the dense fog.
"Looks like it was a hit." The operator of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft handed the headset to the nervous regiment commander. "Sir, you can hear the screams." The fog can block out lasers, visible light and infrared rays, but unfortunately it still can't stop the cannonballs and the wails of the hit. Faintly visible on the screen, the constant formation of fog was pushed out of its original range by the explosion wave. One can imagine what kind of hell the soldiers are going through.
"Well played! Cantonese Yankees! The excited regiment commander picked up the walkie-talkie and scolded the commander of the artillery battalion with a smile.
"Captain Xu, I'm throwing Lei Lou! Hurry up and ask the baggage company to send me shells! ”
The second round was filled with phosphorus and aluminum incendiary bombs. The commander of the artillery battalion is worthy of being from a military academy, and even lost Lei Lou so decisively. The convection of hot and cold air caused by the incendiary bomb can quickly cause a strong wind, and then the fire will borrow the wind momentum, and the wind will help the fire, and even the strongest fog will be blown away by the wind.
The first wave of explosions actually had little effect on the team, and a large part of the shells hit the front of the team due to the low projectile extension. The hapless large puppet and the soldiers behind it suffered some bullet kills, and the morale damage was much greater than the actual losses.
"Keep going! The enemy's magic can only hit the golem in front of you! Don't panic! Don't panic! "Even the commander himself couldn't confirm how far he was from the position. He knew that the result of spreading a bounded mist would be a good target for wide-area killing magic. He had no other way than to do it - unless he went and cut it down.
Phosphorus and aluminum burned bombs, and the main meal of this shelling soon roared. The burning sound of spin rocket engines and the screeching of the projectiles against the air first startled the large number of infantry, who began to flee backwards, trampling the soldiers who had not yet reacted. The team began to lose shape and fell into disarray.
However, it was too late. Although the phosphorus aluminum incendiary bomb is not as good as TOS-1's trimethyl aluminum, it can still turn the ground hit by it into a karmic fire hell.
Even if there were only weeds on the ground, ankle-high bushes, and even wasteland roads, the flames of burning bombs were spreading rampantly among the crowd. If the soldiers who were directly sprinkled with flames did not have time to take off their steel armor and roll on the ground, then they could only sit and watch the flames spread into the leather armor and even cotton clothes inside the steel armor. By then, if you take off the steel armor, you will be completely hopeless.
Mages with only leather armor or even cloth robes have a relatively higher chance of surviving the bombardment of incendiary bombardments. However, providing cover from the fog, they gradually discovered that the hot wind was blowing away, carrying away the accumulated water vapor. The thick fog that had covered the entire force would soon disappear without a trace.
