Chapter 53: The Baptism of Fire
Each thermal imager can scan a heat source within a radius of three kilometers at 360 degrees, which is enough for thousands of thermal imagers, and the scanning area is enough to cover most of the Longquan Mountains, excluding the overlapping scans.
Soon, the loach said, "The enemy has been found." They were more than fifteen kilometers away from us, and they had already dispersed into small teams of a dozen or dozens of people, fanning towards our search. However, only more than 700 people have been able to scan them, and 200 people have not been found. ”
Zhang Yue said to the loaches, "Analyze their precise coordinates and immediately send them to the * artillery unit." ”
The loaches act immediately.
Zhang Yue began to call, "Platoon Commander Li, have you obtained equipment from your department?" ”
The Huaxia troops are in the north of the Longquan Mountains, and the Baodun soldiers are in the south of the Longquan Mountains. At such a distance, the Baodun Kingdom simply did not have time to find and destroy these * cannons. And the * cannon was also dropped on the northern edge of the mountain range to facilitate the search.
Platoon Commander Li said, "Looking back, the current equipment acquisition rate is 80 percent. ”
A total of fifteen * guns were fired, and now half an hour has passed, and there are twelve that can be used.
"What shells have been collected so far?"
"Twenty boxes of main artillery shells, one box of hot pressure bombs, one box of gas bombs, one box of shock bombs, two boxes of armor-piercing shells, and two boxes of poison gas bombs. ”
"Enough. Zhang Yue said, "Time waits for no one." Platoon Commander Li, according to the coordinates I provided you, assign the target by yourself, now listen to my order, put on the main shell, bomb me, three rounds in a row. ”
"Yes. ”
A minute later, Platoon Commander Lee opened fire. Twelve * guns roared in unison, and the cannons did not stop.
The loach couldn't accurately judge the situation on the other side of Baodun through the thermal imager, but it didn't bother him, because there were still a considerable number of drones floating in the sky, and these drones were providing images for the viewing area. Loaches begin to implant small viruses. This is a "harmless" small virus, which does not attack the system of Yang Tianjiao's unit, but opens a small tributary on the mainstream of their system, so that the picture on the mainstream can also be received on Loach's computer. With the rank of a loach hacker, this small action did not attract the attention of Yang Tianjiao's signal soldiers.
Zhang Yue looked at it and was overjoyed, he slapped the loach's shoulder fiercely, "Well done." ”
Unexpectedly, this shot actually knocked the loach to the ground, and even the computer was thrown to the ground.
Zhang Yue was shocked and hurriedly helped the loach up. The loach covered his shoulders and felt a pain in his heart, "Brother Yue, do you want to be so strong, my shoulders are going to break." ”
The other four Lin Zi and the other four also looked at Zhang Yue like monsters.
Zhang Yue secretly blamed himself, after he refined Qi, his physical fitness had improved dramatically, and today he had to be nourished and transformed by the Heavenly God Tree in his body, and his physique was even stronger. The drastic change in his body caused him to be unable to control his strength as he wished, so he accidentally slapped the loach over.
"Haha, my bad, my bad, I'm so excited. Loach, I'll show you. Zhang Yue was very apologetic, he checked the loach's shoulder, but fortunately, his strength was still greatly controlled, and he didn't really break the shoulder bone.
Loach rubbed his shoulders, picked up the computer and continued.
Soon, the picture on the side of the Baodun people was brought up.
Oh, and it's especially emphasized that the Baodun envoy group is the escort of the Baodun Emissary Regiment, and like the thousand-person escort team of the Yudun Kingdom, it is also composed of pure cultivators. This thousand-person escort team was named by the Baodun Kingdom: Scales.
Whether it is snake scales, dragon scales, turtle scales, or fish scales, scales have only one function, protecting their bodies from harm.
However, after all, they are the cultivator troops of the Baodun Kingdom, and the Baodun Kingdom does not like to defend, even if there is defense, it must be both offensive and defensive. The scale is a thousand battalions of pure cultivators who focus on defense, but have equally excellent attack power.
The picture shows that almost every scale warrior is equipped with a hexagonal shield twenty centimeters long and more than ten centimeters wide. The shield is tied to their left wrist and does not prevent them from using other weapons.
When the cannonball fell, the scale warriors immediately activated the shield with Yuan Qi. After activation, the shield suddenly had a dark yellow light curtain that expanded to about a meter in length and width.
The essence of the yellow light curtain is still the Yuan Qi wall.
Then, all the fighters connected their shields together, either to block the front of the bombing point, or simply to form a circle to defend against the bombardment from all sides. Basically, it can effectively defend against debris after the main shell explodes.
However, the bombing was not without success. Because of the support of precise coordinates, the error of their artillery bombardment did not exceed 30 meters. Thirty meters is actually a big loophole, and it can no longer effectively kill and injure those cultivators. However, three rounds of shelling in a row were dense enough, and there were some explosions that were so close that they even fell directly into the shields of the scale warriors.
It still caused close to one-twentieth of the total number of casualties of the scale warriors.
Zhang Yue looked at these pictures calmly and analyzed them carefully.
"These shields are strong enough to protect against ordinary bullets and shells, especially when they are formed in a circle or merged into a wall, and they are indeed very impressively defensive. But the weakness is also obvious, and that is the weakness on the inside. Zhang Yue saw that there was a cannonball that fell into the shield by luck, and almost the entire formation was destroyed with one shot, and the shield was shattered to the ground.
"Gotta find a way to disrupt their formation. Zhang Yue thought about it and ordered Platoon Commander Li, "Change the shells and put on the gas shells." ”
In modern warfare, there are as many as 1,000 types of artillery shells, and in addition to the main purpose artillery shells, there are also various special artillery shells and auxiliary artillery shells. Gas shells are a type of special artillery shells.
The loaches immediately sent the latest coordinates of the scale warriors after the shelling.
The preparation of gas shells is not particularly large, and only one box was collected, that is, about ten, which is not enough for one round of firing.
Still, it's barely enough.
Gas shells, tear gas, choking, the scale warriors were condensing their shields with all their might, and suddenly the shells struck again, this time not shrapnel flying sideways after the shells exploded, but releasing violent smoke. The smoke was filled, and the smoke was even more spicy, and many people were immediately hit.
After the scale warrior activates the shield, in order to maintain the long-term expansion of the shield, it is necessary to continuously output Yuan Qi. The sudden spicy smell made the mouth and nose unbearable, and many people were angry. As soon as Yuan Qi was broken, there was a hole in the shield's condensed formation. Coupled with the large area of smoke dispersion, they will not be able to clear the smoke for a while and a half.
Of course, there were also tenacious squads of scale warriors who reacted quickly, or those who were close to the edge of the smoke, quickly retreated.
The shield formation of the scale warriors had already loosened, and Zhang Yue couldn't wait to yell, "Hurry up, concussion shells, main artillery shells, open guns one after another, open cannons!"
Concussion bombs, fire!
