Section 659 Charge
Red Rock Front.
"Fire!"
At the commander's command, the rows of gun barrels jerked back, and large flames erupted from the muzzles.
Thousands of cannonballs streaked across the sky with a screeching sound and landed on the laterite rocky mountains one after another, blasting out mud and rock springs.
A shell landed in the bushes and instantly blew out the people hiding inside. The body was shattered, and the hands and feet flew into the air, which was extremely cruel.
"Next round of shelling, prepare!"
Just as the artillery mech exited the shell case and loaded with new ammunition, the artillery mech on the Red Rock Mountains launched a new round of return fire.
The dull sound of cannon resounded in the sky. A few seconds later, countless cannonballs exploded on the red earth, and a ten-meter-high earthen spring rose into the sky, like a huge flower blooming in the red wasteland.
A cannonball exploded between the two mechs, and the massive impact knocked over the multi-ton mech, but after a short while, the pilot recovered from the concussive vertigo, and the mech got back to its feet and fired the cannonball.
This is the first stage of the war in the Red Clay World, an artillery duel.
This is very similar to the World War II period on Earth, come up and do a round of artillery first, blow up the opponent can't find the north, and then launch a charge.
It's just that in the later stages of World War II, missile-type weapons of mass destruction were developed, and nuclear bombs appeared.
In fact, the red clay world also went through this process, and finally the war evolved into a duel of ultra-long-range nuclear bombs.
But after the cataclysm and the resurgence of psionic energy, the top combat power of the red clay world has changed from a nuclear bomb to a super powerhouse.
Nukes can deal devastating damage to ordinary soldiers, but they are not very powerful to super-strong soldiers.
And compared to the environmental damage caused by nuclear bombs, the super strong are more environmentally friendly. As a result, humanity's main force against otherworldly threats has changed from a nuclear bomb to a superpower.
And how to cultivate more super strong people has also become an important topic for the Human Survival Committee.
War is undoubtedly the place where the strong are best trained. In the battlefield of blood and fire, the Evolver grows the fastest.
But if weapons of mass destruction are thrown at them, the war will be over before it has even begun.
So the Commission for Human Survival limited the development of weapons of mass destruction, giving the low-level soldiers on both sides of the war a chance to fight and grow.
At the same time, restricting weapons of mass destruction can also reduce the oppressive force of the super-strong on the bottom.
Imagine a giant beast that is not afraid of pesticides against a group of ants, and when the pesticides fall, the giant beast will be the one who will ultimately benefit.
But without pesticides, the ant's numerical superiority manifests itself and gives it a chance to bite the behemoth.
For many reasons, weapons of mass destruction were hidden in the snow and their production and research were banned.
Artillery is currently the only thermal weapon capable of inflicting a certain amount of damage. But in reality, the number of soldiers who actually died from artillery in the war was very small, less than one percent. The role of artillery is more of a deterrent and threat than a lethal one.
The artillery on the side of the Red Dragon Principality is mainly the Art6 produced by Laterite Heavy Industries.
The Art6 is a humanoid artillery mecha with a barrel designed on the shoulder, and is available in two models: single barrel and double barrel. The production code of the twin barrel was Art6-T, commonly known as the "shoulder double gun".
And the artillery on the side of the Principality of Chiyan is MST produced by Chongshan Industries.
MST is the abbreviation of "MountainSpiderTank", commonly known as "Mountain Spider", is a cannon mecha with six mechanical legs, which is very adaptable to the mountains, but the price is twice as expensive as Art6.
The territory of the Red Dragon Principality is mostly plains and does not need to be climbed, so there are not many mountain mechas.
There are more than three thousand artillery mecha on the side of the Red Dragon Principality, while the Red Rock Principality only has six or seven hundred.
Although the number is small, the Chiyan side occupies the terrain advantage, and the artillery has a longer range and is easier to aim.
Several rounds of artillery came down, and the results were almost the same.
The artillery duel lasted three days and three nights, with both sides throwing most of their shells at each other's positions.
"I received an order from the upper peak to launch a general attack at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
On the position of the 79th separate battalion of the 3rd Army of the Red Dragon Principality, the captain of the gendarmerie gave Baron John Prader a military order from Count George.
"Huh?" Baron Prader was visibly stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to react, "You mean, you're going to attack tomorrow?" He subconsciously looked at the Chiyan Mountains in the distance, the steep laterite rocks were difficult to climb, not to mention that there were enemies on top, it was an impossible task.
Which lunatic came up with this?
He stubbornly resisted the urge to swear.
"You heard it right, attack at six o'clock tomorrow morning." The captain of the gendarmerie repeated, with a serious expression and no joke. As if to understand Baron Prade's feelings, he added, "It's the decision of the one above." ”
In the aristocratic circles of the Red Dragon Principality, everyone knows who the "one above" refers to.
"I see, tomorrow I will be on time for the fight."
How could Baron Prade, who was as small as dust, question a king-level decision.
Although he wanted to oppose it, and even had the idea of taking someone away, everything was just his fantasy.
Originally, he thought that it was just shelling each other on the Chiyan line to create some military friction, but he didn't expect that it was a direct death charge, and it came so quickly.
The successive lords, even if they couldn't think of attacking the Chiyan Mountain Range, would not be as prepared as they are now, and the one above really thought that everyone could fly away like her.
The gendarmerie captain's gaze swept back and forth in the camp, observing the soldiers' every move, like an alert hound.
Baron Prade wanted to leave, but he knew in his heart that if the other party found the slightest sign of escape, he would immediately notify the strong men of the gendarmerie and execute them on the spot.
Not only that, but the Prad family would be branded as deserters and nailed to the pillar of shame forever until the surname died.
The red country is martial and respects the strong. Once you become a deserter, not only will your personal reputation be ruined, but even your family will be discriminated against and implicated, so even the lowest mercenaries rarely desert.
At six o'clock the next morning, an order swept across the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Red Dragon Principality launched a massive charge.
The scale of the mobilization exceeded 100,000 people, and the battlefield spanned tens of kilometers.
"Kill!" "For the princess, for the glory!" "The Light guides us to victory." "The red dragon is mighty, invincible!"
In the endless wasteland, a tidal wave of mechs and soldiers rushed into the laterite mountains.
"The enemy enters range and fires with all his might!"
The Chiyan soldiers on the mountain peak reached out of their bunkers one after another and shot at the red dragon soldiers below the mountain.
"Blow them up!"
The can-like grenade bounced down the hillside and ended up falling next to several Red Dragon soldiers who were climbing the mountain.
"Boom!"
The fire flickered, the sand erupted, and the two nearest Red Dragon soldiers were blown off, and the rest returned fire with assault rifles.
"Slaughter this group of Chiyan pigs!"
Bullets shoot wildly, but the upward field of view is so narrow that you can't see the enemy's position at all, and you can only shoot in the general direction.
Somewhere on the mountain, Baron Prade climbed little by little with his two sons and all the combatants of the town of Prade.
Baron Prad sat in the cockpit of the Valkyrie, controlled the body with a brainwave headband, and rushed to the front. The bullets struck the thick steel plates, clanging, and sparks flew everywhere.
The Valkyrie climbed upwards and suppressed the fire from above with her machine gun at her shoulder.
The heaviest Art6 at the rear of the team, climbed hand and foot on the ground, and the artillery could only be useful if it occupied high ground.
In the bushes above, a sand camel suddenly appeared, and four Vulcan cannons under the iron wings spewed tongues of fire at the same time.
Dense bullets swarmed out, slamming into the mountains below and billowing with smoke and dust. The soldiers of Prader Town hurriedly looked for cover, and a few who could not escape were shattered by the Vulcan cannon on the spot, and the broken bones and rotten flesh fell down in a clatter.
"Peter, knock it down!"
Behind the bunker, Peter quickly pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet, concentrating psionic energy, and then hit the cockpit of the sand camel above with a single shot.
Blood sprayed onto the glass of the cockpit, and the sand camel lost control, and its two slender mechanical legs fell to one side, clattering, rolling down the mountain.
"Be careful!" "Get out of the way!" "Ahh
One of the soldiers was unable to dodge and was hit by a falling sand camel and fell together.
On the other side of the mountain, the same thing is happening. The soldiers of the Red Dragon Principality braved the rain of bullets and climbed the steep slope with difficulty, and from time to time one or two grenades fell, which exploded their ears buzzing.
The soldiers were like ants climbing the glass, constantly falling and rushing up.
The soldiers of Prader climbed up a section and met the enemy's point of fire. This firing point consisted of a group of twelve Chiyan soldiers and two heavy machine guns, hiding in the crevices of the cliffs, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Sniper rifles do not work from this angle. The Red Rock soldiers threw incendiary grenades one after another, burning the ground below.
"Commando, unplug the fire!"
"It's coming!"
Sean waved and broke through the line of fire with a team of armored and blue light film assault soldiers on their bodies, climbing up against the fire of two heavy machine guns.
"Dada!"
A barrage of bullets hit the assault soldiers in the front row, and the blue sand flew everywhere.
The psionic armor was quickly depleted, and the armor was dented in, and a large amount of blood spilled out of the gaps.
"Wow, wow, wow!"
The assault soldier screamed and rushed upward, only to be bombarded by heavy fire. The chest was large and inverted, and I don't know how many ribs were broken.
The personnel in the rear immediately made up for it and continued to approach under fire.
"Quick!" "It's coming soon!"
When he was about to reach the point of fire, Sean rushed forward with all his might, and threw himself into the gap. He pulled out his sword and stabbed wildly at the Chiyan soldiers inside.
"Puff puff!"
The knives stabbed the heavy in the stomach one after another, the white knives went in and the red knives came out, and the bright red intestines flowed out, and the scene was extremely bloody.
"Kill them!"
"I'll let you hide, I'll let you hide!"
A Prader assault pinned a red rock soldier against the mountain wall, smashing the opponent's head with all his might until the flesh was blurred and the entire head was deformed.
After half an hour of bloody fighting, the Valkyrie piloted by Baron Prad was finally the first to rush up the hill.
But as soon as he showed his head, a large number of rockets were fired from the higher mountain peaks opposite, which exploded the entire mountain with raging waves of fire, smoke and dust rolling, and blurred vision.
"Disperse!" "Find cover, hold here!"
"Roar!"
Before the soldiers could catch their breath, they heard a deafening roar.
On the top of the mountain, several white tigers covered in iron armor appeared, with emeralds embedded in their foreheads, and their bodies were huge, more than two meters tall and more than five meters long, like a military truck.
"Imperial Spirit!"
Baron Prade shouted a warning to the soldiers in the rear, and an ironclad tiger tilted its head, and a pair of turquoise eyes locked on the Valkyrie. With a roar, he pounced.
