Chapter 448: The Prelude to the Battle
At a distance of 2,500 meters, this is almost the ultimate range of this K1A6, and if it is farther, the power of the electromagnetic bomb fired will be greatly reduced.
Qi Lin chose a hunter-level parasite as his target—this hunter-class was grabbed by the "Iron Tower-class" next to him and threw it forward with all his might.
Although the Hunter parasite in mid-air is faster than on the ground, it has no power in the air, and the direction of movement does not change, making it easier to estimate the advance of the sniper.
The "Eagle Eye" opened, and the hunter-level that was rolling in mid-air instantly turned into a gray-white slow motion, and a bright red virtual trajectory that showed an arc spanned more than 2,000 meters, and ran through the entire gray-white picture very abruptly, connecting Qi Lin's muzzle with the hunter-level parasite.
"Targeted!"
In the next moment after the virtual ballistic appeared, Qi Lin gently pulled the trigger, only to see a small arc of electricity flash on the outside of the coil-wrapped suspended ceramic barrel, and then a golden streamer drilled out of the muzzle, and went straight to the target two kilometers away along the bright red virtual ballistic.
Due to the special material of the rapid-fire electromagnetic bomb used in the K1A6, the tail streamer formed by the high-speed friction combustion of the bullet and air is also different from the dark blue of the general electromagnetic bomb, which is an extremely conspicuous and bright golden yellow.
With the help of Eagle Eye, the surrounding gray-white space seems to be imprisoned, and the golden streamer can only move along the only bright red virtual ballistic with color in the gray-white world.
In the slow motion, which resembles "bullet time", it took a full dozen seconds for the golden streamer to come to the front of the hunter, and at this time, the hunter completed a roll in the air, and the whole picture looked as if the hunter-level parasite took the initiative to hit the golden streamer shooting from a distance.
"Poof!"
The golden streamer hit the head of the hunter-level, and the entire head instantly burst open like a smashed watermelon, while the remaining headless corpse flew forward for a distance of dozens of meters under the action of inertia before falling heavily to the ground.
In the eyes of others, from Qi Lin's shooting to the hunting-level parasite being shot in the head, the whole process was less than a second, but in Qi Lin's world, the whole process was stretched dozens of times.
This is also the first time that Qi Lin has watched the entire process from shooting to hitting in the state of Hawkeye, before he usually turned on Hawkeye, locked on the target, and immediately closed Hawkeye after shooting, only this time, Qi Lin clearly saw the slow motion of the skull exploding from the high-powered scope, and even captured part of the body fragment of the minced parasitic worm in the pile of rotten meat.
It wasn't until the hunting-level corpse landed on the ground that Qi Lin turned off the state of Hawkeye, and this time the side effect was only a slight dizziness for less than half a second.
After stepping into the ranks of fifth-level evolutionaries, although the increase in spiritual power cannot be directly seen from the attribute panel, at least when using the skill of Eagle Eye, there are no longer as many restrictions as at the beginning.
……
……
On the Herrens Line, in the E4 defense area of the city wall, a newly recruited soldier was leaning out and looking out, and the golden electric light shot out by Qi Lin startled him so much that he almost fell off the city wall.
"Damn, who's that guy? How come the guns are fired before they even fire? According to the rules of the defense zone, isn't it only allowed to shoot when the Kuroshio is close to within 400 meters? Even if you are a sniper, the shooting distance should be within 800 meters, right? ”
The soldier immediately shrank back and shouted in some confusion.
Now, Kuroshio is still two kilometers away from the city wall, and at this distance, even with an eightfold mirror, each parasite is smaller than an ant, and it is impossible to shoot at this distance and accurately hit the parasite's head.
But as soon as he finished speaking, another veteran on the side let out a sneer: "You don't look at what guy is in someone's hand, Gauss sniper rifle, you know?" If you can get one, you can shoot it now—"
……
……
After killing the first Hunter-Rank Parasite, Qi Lin pulled the trigger again and again, and it was not until he killed the fourteen Hunter-Rank that the Kuroshio entered within 1,500 meters of the city wall.
After coordinated calculations, the most effective strike range of the artillery of the Herrens Line was within the range of 500 meters to 2,000 meters, and the depth and thickness of this first wave of Kuroshio was only two or three hundred meters.
At a distance of 1,500 meters from the city wall, there was a striking marking line, and when the first tower level rushed through the marking line, Qi Lin stopped shooting.
Then, with a roar tearing through the air, various shells exploded at the core of the Kuroshio, and the huge explosion sound was heard two kilometers away, still deafening.
"The artillery attack is divided into three waves, after three waves of shelling, they will put the participating parasites within 500 meters, let the machine guns and flamethrowers solve the problem, and the ordinary infantry is responsible for those who rush to the blind spots of the flamethrowers under the city walls." Cheng Yanqiu inserted a magazine containing four airburst rounds into the XM25 grenade launcher, and sat down on top of an ammunition box with his back against the thick wall battlements.
"Hmm." Qi Lin nodded, pulled out the magazine with only six bullets left, grabbed the electromagnetic bombs stacked aside, and began to fill the magazine.
At 3:59 a.m., the first round of shelling ended, and twenty seconds later, the second round began.
At 4:06, the second round of shelling ended, and twenty seconds later, the third round began.
At 4:10 p.m., all three rounds of shelling were fired, and according to the results estimated by the Battlefield Observation Group, these three rounds of shelling wiped out nearly 80 percent of the parasites in the first wave of the Black Tide.
This would have been good news, but anyone who knew something about the Hellens Line didn't look very good on their faces when they heard the news.
The Kuroshio Tide that poured towards the Herrens Line numbered 1.5 million, and this first wave of the offensive contained only about 200,000 or so parasites.
But in order to solve 80 percent of these 200,000 parasites, the Coalition spent all the ammunition base of three salvos from artillery, and the stock of shells in the entire Herrens Line was only enough to support ten to twelve salvos.
The results of this artillery attack were in fact not ideal.
