In the court, a letter with the transparent elytra of the golden beetle was sent directly to Xia Hong Island by the flying beetle. At the same time, under the telegraph transmission, a number of warships also rushed to Xia Hong Island. These fleets were ordered to assist Viscount Xia Hongdao in his military attack.

And in the City of Trade Winds, Zeyu received a letter from His Majesty the Emperor.

The content has the crisp style of a soldier - 10 days ago to the east coastline, stream ports, 15 days ago, where the legions are stationed, to open up your new fiefdom.

When the central imperial power faced local challenges, it was not stingy in the face of the first force that took the initiative to fight for it. On the side, in this kind of major decision, the earlier you stand in line, the greater the benefits. Of course, it's too early, the situation is uncertain, and the risk is great.

On the 3,000-ton destroyer, Zeuyou pinched the corners and tore open the cover of this 'cicada wing letter'.

After taking a look, he took a deep breath: "Woo, attack, troubled times." ”

……

November 8, 106 of the Holy Gu calendar. The legion of the Celestial Tour and the three Golden Beetle battleships of the Central Empire converged and swooped straight to the south. At 11 a.m., arrive on time at the outskirts of Xishui Harbor.

This port is the territory of the Black Tong Heavy Niu, a vassal family belonging to the second prince.

The top class of the family is the 40-ton Super Heavy Unit, the Black Pincer Heavy Ox. On the stream harbor, cylindrical turrets with hemispherical roofs pointed their barrels far away at the sea on high ground. And between the turret and the turret, the banner of the huge black pincer was waved in the wind.

On the sea, the 1,000-ton mechanical frigate of Zeyo made waves on the periphery of the port and did not enter the turret strike range. However, the turret of the Black Pincer Heavy Bull family here still fired at the sea, and the cannonball fell into the waves and splashed on the surface of the sea, splashing a huge column of water.

The mechanical frigate, which was warned by the shelling, flew out of the waves and fled quickly, looking frightened. On the fortress, the soldiers of the Heavy Pincer family in black armor held binoculars and cursed at the fleeing battleships in the distance, and exposed the drainage organs to spray. Well, this worm-insectized hard-shell organ sprays quite far.

However, Zeuyu: "Will I admit it? ”

Batches of drones flew over the castle of the Heavy Tong family, and used heavy machine guns to "water guns" on their castle, crackling and shooting a large number of stone fragments on the city walls. Before the heavy machine guns fired into the air from the opposite position, they dropped troll leaflets such as "Take your dog's head".

Persuasion? What doesn't exist is that they are all high-ranking nobles with a large number of votes commanding the Gu Worm Corps, and they won't look at it at all if they persuade public opinion, but these troll remarks can attract their attention.

And forty kilometers away, the flagship of the aircraft carrier, inside the hull command room.

Zeyo asked Xinzhu to spread out the map, which was taken by the fighters in front of him at low altitude reconnaissance around the coastline.

Zeyou pointed to the flat shoal on the east side of the stream port and said: "Here, land from here and then detour to the rear, cut off the link between the stream port and the interior, and then send the legion up to uproot the fortress." Everything has to be fast, and now we will discuss the details of the charter. ”

In the eyes of Zhou You, the nobles of this world currently know that the explosive soldiers are all loopholes, and they poke them very casually.

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, under the light of the setting sun and under the order of Zeyu, the commander of the Golden Beetle Support Fleet ordered an artillery attack on the port of Xishui. Artillery flames echoed back and forth on the sea and land.

In this exchange of battles with the fortress artillery, the final result was that the capital ship of the Golden Beetle was heavily damaged. Zhou You was speechless about this: "Just ask you to test at the edge of the sea, how did you let the cannon of the opposite fortress hit the bow of the ship?" ”

On the east side of Xishui Harbor, the feint force of the burning wheel was about 74 propeller fighters to attack. These wooden plank planes, Zeyo didn't expect them to be able to do anything at first, just mocked them to attract the attention of the place.

Logically speaking, the defense here was very tight, but in the end, Zeyu overestimated the low level of the opposite side, and this feint force successfully penetrated into the fort defense line, and then ran into the opposite logistics line.

After finding their target in the darkness of night, these biplane fighters circled and fired light machine guns at the insect force carriers on the eastern line of communication.

This kind of bug cart is a horse-drawn cart structure, and it is covered with 100 kilograms of black bugs. All transport Gu worms are ectotherms, they can hibernate at low temperatures to reduce forage consumption, and they are better than horses, which is the reason why this world does not study internal combustion engines.

When the hovering warplanes appeared above the transports, the leader of the Heavy Pincers fled in a hurry and ran back to town to telegraph the viscount in the harbor about the threat to the east flank.

The Viscount of the Heavy Clamp Family, who was in charge of the Streamwater Harbor, immediately dispatched a mobile force to support the east.

After the reconnaissance plane in the sky saw the army of the Black Pincer Heavy Bull family moving to the east, the sky tour immediately launched the landing on the west bank.

In other words, this kind of trick is not very clever. In his previous life, if he wanted to use this hand on other people at the Commander Academy, he would be 100% recognized.

And now, eh, it can only be said that the Golden Beetle Empire has been in power for sixty years, and there has been no large-scale war, so there is a shortage of all kinds of generals. Even the system of the art of war began to be forgotten.

Eight o'clock in the evening, under the cover of night.

Sixty amphibious buffalo chariots landed on the shore. This is the floating version of the armored ox chariot, and the nose of the vehicle is even a wave-resistant shear boat, carrying a 30mm automatic cannon for fire suppression after landing.

The tracks of these mechanical combat vehicles quickly ran over the beach, and without firing a single shot from the 30-mm cannon, they managed to break through to the beach, cutting off the road, and the follow-up landing ships quickly entered from the beach. 150 human soldiers commanded the motorized unit, controlled all the communication arteries within 50 kilometers of the landing area, built bunkers with bulldozers, and deployed 80-mm mortars to complete the erection of firing points.

Zhou You looked at the time, and it could be completed in half an hour. This achievement is within the standard of the previous daily landing exercises.

After the first wave of amphibious pontoons, without any interception, it was easy to control the beachhead.

The follow-up landing ships of the Burning Wheel landed directly on the shore, and one after another heavier armored tanks landed on the shore. These tanks received another layer of reinforcement before the war, mainly by strengthening the gap armor. This makes the turret appear bulging and the hull expands considerably. The barrel is still an eighty-millimeter long-barreled armor-piercing gun stage.

There were a total of fifty main battle tanks, and their landing heralded that the universe had a strong offensive front on land.

The soldiers were very fast, and this main battle chariot corps began to quickly detour towards the rear of the Xishui port. Due to the good support of the Sky Scout Information, he calmly intercepted the Black Pincer Heavy Bull family and prepared to support the Black Pincer Heavy Bull in the east.

Emphasized, it's the East! Or the place where the previous biplane feints.

Zeyou successfully landed in the west, and the reinforcements of the Heavy Pincer family who had originally feinted to the east set out. As for them, I'm afraid they haven't found that the west side has been torn apart.

Zhou You: "Back then, I fought a whole group of heroes in the Federation in my last life. Now it's you? ”

……

The collision began.

On the winding gravel road, the tank and the giant creature war beast began the world's first confrontation.

The commander of the Blacktongs Heavy Armor Corps saw that it was not his own vehicle, and the flag with a wrench and a screwdriver crossed. He immediately gave the order and launched a charge towards the tank at a distance of 1,200 meters.

The fifty-ton behemoth marched seven or eight meters like an earthquake. This heavyweight beast was a nightmare for the heavy cavalry in the early days of the Holy Gu Calendar, and its chitin heavy armor could resist all kinds of solid bullets, and of course, it could also bounce off explosive bullets.

However, the so-called bulletproof. Well, the times are different, and the bulletproof effect is different.

In the early 21st century of the earth, 20 years of progress in armor-piercing technology turned the world upside down. Zeuyou heard that the shell of the war beast can be bulletproof, so he specially targeted it technically.

The main battle tanks raised their 80-mm barrels and stuffed them with shells. Inside this shell is a tungsten steel rod, and the head is a flat top with threads on it, occluding the projectile body.

After testing, the depth of the homogeneous steel plate is 300 mm. - Zhou You: "The armor-piercing performance from the 'one meter of sunshine' is still very weak. In the future, it is necessary to lengthen the bullet core, and the tank gun chamber pressure must also be tackled. ”

But it turns out that the tour is still overestimated.

The giant beast in front of him, the chitin shell is no more than twenty centimeters, and the welded steel plate is one or two centimeters, in fact, this can be played with armor shattering bullets.

Muzzle fireworks erupt at the flat end of the tank gun control retractor, and this is like two puffs of white gas from the nostrils in winter.

After the shell was discharged, it immediately cracked, leaving only a long pole in the middle, which pierced the giant beast 1,500 meters away as a line.

Almost as soon as the cannon fire rang out, the giant beast staggered. The armor-piercing bullet pierced directly from its thick physique, overturning three or four square meters of bone plates behind it. The steel plates nailed to the carapace were not only defenseless, but also like a dogskin plaster, tearing off the original chitin shell under the kinetic energy penetration impact of the armor-piercing bullet.

This giant beast is worthy of the war weapons assembled by insects, and its vitality is strong enough. After receiving such serious damage, he did not collapse immediately, but continued to charge for seven or eight steps before he began to slow down his charge.

From the original speed of 40 kilometers per hour, the speed has been slowed down to 20 kilometers per hour. As its speed slowed, its massive body showed signs of unsteadiness as it walked.

The commander of the Blackpincer family was frightened by this round of shelling, and the steel plate seemed to be pierced without protection. After the giant beast was hit hard, his aura weakened abruptly, all of which reminded him of how fierce he was.

So, he hurriedly ordered a counterattack.

The two bony plates on the back of the behemoth opened as if they were open, and the mechanical structure on them was jammed with a large number of rockets.

Ignited by the electric spark of the behemoth, clusters of rockets begin to fire. Meteors of fire rained down on the tank.

Of course, since the vehicle's control system is controlled by internal biological Gu worms, it has good external sensing capabilities, especially for some targets that come at low speeds. Considering that there are a large number of biologically guided weapons in this world, Zeyo also uses the sensing function of Linlong to make an active defense system.

When the rockets flew in, rockets were fired from both sides of the turret. The rockets fired by your own side exploded 20 meters in front, and the rapid projectile flow detonated all the incoming rockets. This system proved to the world that only armor-piercing shells with high bore pressure were most effective against tanks.

Of course, this wave of attacks made the mood of the universe a little nervous (stimulated).

The tank engine drove the tank forward, blasting out the smoke of the explosion, then coming to a halt and raising the barrel for a second aim.

Technical supplement: The muzzle stabilization technology when driving, Linlong Creatures can't do it, and the electronic level of Zeuyou can't do it, so you can only stop and aim.

This time, at a direction of nine hundred meters, six tanks were like Reaper reapers, firing accurately at the heavy creatures and war beasts in front. Six behemoths fell.

Then, the remaining behemoths continued to charge. However, the Linlong main battle tank directly soared the engine, the tracks turned up, and then collectively turned right and ran directly from the side.

An eighteen-ton tank can reach a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. It is said that it can cut the enemy outside the firing range, why veneer?

The suspended short-barreled guns on both sides of those war beasts have quite a large caliber, and they still seem to be a little powerful.

After driving some distance, the armored bull tank stopped, and continued to raise its barrel.

Tungsten steel armor-piercing bullets entered from one side of the beast with striking flames, and then flew out with blood, meat scraps, and bone residue at the other end.

An hour later.

Twenty-one war beasts are lying on the road, this is the degradation of morality, or ......, uh, string stage, this is the comprehensive victory of mechanical technology over biotechnology in terms of power and destruction.

Twelve o'clock in the evening.

Zeuyou managed to cut off all communication with the outside world from the rear, and then with the assistance of double-edged fighters. An assault was carried out on two highland forts on the east side of the port.

Before launching an assault on these two heights, Zeusa persuaded the leaflets to be surrendered. Of course, I don't really expect the other side to surrender, but I hope that when I attack in the future, these fortresses and strongholds will be able to recognize themselves.

Three o'clock in the morning.

In the combat command post, Zhou You received a notice from the other side that he was unwilling to lay down his weapon, and raised his hand to the side. After the student saluted, he immediately excitedly started the bombing procedure.

The student took control of sixteen tiltrotor double-bladed fighters and flew six waves, smashing penetrating incendiary bombs into the top of the fortress.

The warhead is dropped from an altitude of 600 meters, and when it falls to the top of the target, the tail undergoes a blasting acceleration. The tip of the warhead made of tungsten steel is capable of penetrating half a meter of concrete, and then a secondary explosion is carried out inside it. The charge is only 50 kilograms, but the lethality is amazing.

In an instant, on the high ground of these hills, in the various windows and shooting ports of the fortress, flames rose. The roars and shouts are especially piercing at night.

After the bombing, two mountain troops dressed in Linlong's auxiliary biological breeding suits, a total of eighty-two people and more than seven hundred and forty infantry Gu worms, entered the highland. With the assistance (deterrence) of high-altitude firepower, the two heights were taken without much fighting. The speed was so fast that some of the seriously wounded of the enemy on the high ground did not miss the rescue time.

After taking these two heights, the Burning Wheel side quickly deployed 105 mm howitzers to the top of the hill.

Amid the roar of large helicopters, heavy artillery hoisted by steel cables stood on the top of the hill. The students climbed onto the artillery positions and looked through their binoculars at the distant stream and port. On the radio, Zhou You reported to the command in the agreed words: "Everything is ready, ready to pee." ”

When the first rays of sunlight shine in the wee hours of the morning.

The nobles of Xishuigang were still playing dead after getting the latest leaflets, and the howitzers on the hill began to fire. Under the roar of cannons, the city's guard towers and warehouses were named.

They wanted to bomb wildly, but they were reprimanded by Zeuyou for this low-level idea.

Zhou You: "Artillery, you have to shoot accurately. If you can hit with one shot, you blow up two shots, that's sixty points. If you miss three shots, you will fail. The five guns were not accurate, and the industry was disgraced. Go home and wash up and sleep. The good gunner on the other side can second you twice. ”

The siege of Xishui Harbor, after the artillery on the hill destroyed the port in one round, the next step began.

A large number of automatic motorcycle regiments of the burning wheels, as well as tanks, blocked all directions in all directions. As this force prepared to make a wave of assault towards the traffic entrance of Xishui Harbor, a white flag was raised in the harbor.

For the nobles in the port, this could not be beaten. They were ready to resist to the death, and hoarded a large number of rockets and machine guns, all of which were destroyed by the artillery. There was no such thing as the pattern of fierce resistance that they had envisioned inflicting heavy casualties on the invaders. Only they eat cannonballs. When the shells stopped, that is, the combat vehicles and infantry were at a distance of three hundred meters, and a large number of bullets fed them.

At 8:00 a.m. on the 9th, the boat took the Xishui port, and the red flag of the wrench screw was planted in the port city hall.
