Chapter 60: The Bombardment Returns

Far away from the eastern highlands on a plain, although separated by more than ten kilometers, but the noisy noise of the insect swarm advancing is still faintly heard here, from a distance, the eastern highlands at this time is like a piece of bread stained with honey, attracting endless insects to climb and squirm incessantly, and occasionally you can hear a few gunshots that are more roaring than thunder, a terrifying hell.

"It's almost over, they should all be on the eastern highlands, and the retreat is blocked, and there is nowhere to escape." Zhang Zhongguo was wearing a dark green military uniform at this time, judging from the style, it should be the military uniform of the Republic, but the badge and military rank have all been torn off, in the wilderness of the day, wearing such a dress can definitely be so hot that you can die violently, but if you look closely, you will find that there is an invisible energy fluctuation on the surface of his body, blocking all the heat of the scorching sun, and there is not a drop of sweat on his head.

A cold commander walked up and asked in a low voice: "Report to the regiment commander, the ammunition of the 1st Artillery Battalion has been replenished and is ready for artillery bombardment, please instruct." ”

"Yes, prepare to attack." Zhang Zhongguo took off the cigarette that was about to burn out in his mouth, looked at the eastern highlands, and then turned to leave, leaving a sentence, "Don't stop the shelling until the other party is completely destroyed." ”

"Commander, where are you going?" The artillery battalion commander asked suspiciously.

"Just in case, I'll take someone to protect the worm mother now, and when the employer receives a hint that the task is completed, I'll take someone to withdraw, and until then, you're in charge of command."

"Yes!"

"Execute the order." Zhang Zhongguo flicked his fingers, and the cigarette butt that burned to the end drew a graceful arc in the air, like a meteor falling in the sky.

...

"Go and take over Lu Ren's work." Luo Wei handed the Desert Eagle to Arnold, saying, "Ten seconds between each shot, otherwise it is easy to overheat, and I will give priority to hitting places with a lot of bugs." ”

"Hey! Don't underestimate me, it's just a few more holes. Lu Ren got up from the ground as soon as he was bone, lifted the nearly two hundred pounds of individual soldier Gatling and said, "Your indiscriminate shooting is easy to disrupt the rhythm of the ghost hand, be careful that he will come to you for trouble." ”

"Wait! I just finished bandaging you, you should have a good rest! Al gently grabbed Lu Ren's arm, a worried look on his face.

"Hahaha, there's bugs all over the place, I'm going to have to shut them up to get some rest." Lu Ren suddenly grabbed El's little hand as white as jade, kissed it on the back of his delicate and smooth hand, looked at her little face as red as an apple and smiled, "Thank you, doctor, I will protect you." ”

Lu Ren let out a low roar to lift his spirit, picked up his weapon and ran to the core of the tower again, continuing the task of fire support, although his wound was very serious, but the special effect bandage wrapped around his body was an item from the cube, which had an extraordinary effect, so his combat effectiveness was not greatly affected, and he was still shooting fiercely and accurately.

Just as the sound of gunfire and the screams of insects came one after another, and the situation slowly returned to stability, a sudden dull loud bang hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer, and countless blooming white lights rose from the end of the horizon, roaring with the power of destroying the world.

Due to the destruction of the basic network of the old era, the army's combat mode has also been reduced from the former informatization to the mechanization of the World War II period, and the artillery has also lost the computer-controlled precision guidance, so the accuracy of the strike is not so high, and many incoming shells are bombarded on the mountain, and even a large part of the insects are blown to pieces.

However, the dawn team is not at all uncomfortable at this time, the raindrops of cannonballs are coming wildly, they don't know when these ghost things will smash near them, this kind of field cannon, for ordinary people, within fifty meters of the explosion point, will be seriously damaged by the shock wave, even if it is an evolutionary, its killing range is also twenty meters, very dangerous.

Under this dense attack, they could occasionally feel some shells flying against their heads, and the burning pain made people wonder if their scalp had been lifted.

Luo Wei really couldn't help it, this feeling was like being hung upside down in the sky with a rope, and then being beaten up as a sandbag, he didn't have the strength to fight back at all, he couldn't help but take the magnetic rail sniper rifle and aimed at the artillery unit at the end of the horizon, but the red warning on the aiming interface was telling him that he was out of range.

At this time, under the bombardment covered by artillery fire, the ghost hand seemed to be indifferent at all, still slashing heartily on the path, and his sense of battle was very strong, and he could use the sound and trajectory of the cannonball approaching to judge the landing point in addition to the battle, so as to avoid being injured.

The experienced Lu Ren knew that it was stupid to fight under artillery bombardment, so he simply gave up shooting and hid directly under the cover of the core of the tower, which although it did not have strong defensive capabilities, it was also the only cover on the bare hill in the eastern highlands.

Arnold decisively pulled out the C-level giant shield that Luo Wei gave him, while supporting the giant shield, while protecting Ling and Al, although the other party used not a large-caliber cannonball, but a shot down a radius of twenty meters will suffer a great impact, ordinary people can't hold it at all, fortunately, Arnold's giant bloodline has a strong resistance in this regard, plus the C-level giant shield in his hand also has the effect of relieving the impact, so unless it is directly hit by the cannonball, it can still be resisted.

Although everyone has countermeasures, but without Lu Ren's fire support, the ghost hand is gradually unstoppable, although he has no problems himself, but there are too many insects, the impact of group movement is like an irresistible tank, cut down one and the other will make up for it, cut down ten and the other ten will make up for it, it can't be killed at all, this kind of suicidal charge is really difficult to resist, and the battle line is moving backwards little by little.

"Arnold, you go to cover Lu Ren, you can't let his firepower be cut off!" Luo Wei had already seen that Lu Ren was very important in this positional battle, his perverted accurate firepower distribution could greatly slow down the suicidal charge of the swarm, without him, the battle line would sooner or later be pushed to the high ground, once the advantage of the narrow path was lost, it was only a matter of time before the swarm drowned them.

"Ling, you protect El." Luo Wei issued a second order, the reason is very simple, although Ling's B-level Shield Ring is not an active defense device, it will still have a defensive effect when it is attacked, and it is a perfect defense, as long as she protects Ell, the two of them can enjoy the protection of the Shield Ring at the same time.

Ling was very smart, she didn't need Luo Wei to explain what he meant, and this girl was very glad that she could contribute to this battle, she took Al's little hand and said seriously: "Sister, follow me, don't leave a step!" ”
