Chapter 38: The Strategist (II)
The battle resumed, and the overnight sneak attack did little real damage to the current army of this structure, except for the damage caused by supplies and personnel, and the morale of the soldiers was not there as it was at the beginning, and they attacked as they were always ordered, just like the soldiers in the RTS game.
Moreover, this time the battle was even more terrifying, more like hell, because this time the planes were thrown into new weapons.
Incendiary bomb, in fact, the official name should be a special vegetable oil low-temperature continuous incendiary bomb, this official name fully explains the raw materials and effects of ammunition, its ignition point is very low, only 36 degrees Celsius can be burned, and the substance itself has a strong combustion ability, the general fire extinguishing method - rolling, water splashing is basically useless.
After such incendiary bombs poured into the position, there were one wail after another, and even though the soldiers of the opposing side had been transformed, their nerves as human beings had not disappeared, and after suffering excruciating pain, they would also scream and wail.
"What is the movement of the enemy?"
After waiting for about 3 minutes, the herald delivered the message, "My lord, the soldiers in the enemy's main position have begun to move, they have used dirt to cut off the road in the flame-covered area, and have withdrawn a position as a barrier, and the incendiary bombs thrown by our side are no longer effective against the enemy. ”
As expected, although the incendiary bombs have a strong burning ability, this was a previous level, and it was definitely not bad in terms of fire prevention measures, at least there would be nothing left on the position built in this ruins that could be easily ignited, and there was only a trench built of a mixture of masonry and stone.
"Air strikes are no longer possible." The enemy is very prepared for air raids, and after the plane arrived this time, it was immediately besieged by a large number of bipedal dragons, even though the plane was temporarily loaded with anti-air cannons, but this time the battle still basically consumed the remaining planes.
"Did the artillery arrive at the designated position?"
"At 7 o'clock this morning, the artillery has reached its position and is being repaired on the spot as ordered."
"Inform them to start artillery coverage, based on the line of fire, look back 500 meters, fire intermittently, ensure that the fire completely covers the local positions during the firing, and the soldiers charge at intervals between artillery fire."
In fact, before the attack on the position of the Yellow Turban Army yesterday night, the artillerymen had complied with the order and carried their weapons to the west peak to set up the formation, but in order not to attract the attention of the other side, this time they had to use manpower and animal power to carry the equipment, which took a long time.
But at this moment, the expenses were worthwhile, and the weapons used exclusively for long-range attacks were assumed to be halfway up the mountain, even if there were mountain peaks obstructing them, but after calculation, the shells fired accurately bypassed the mountains and landed in the positions in the rear.
"Report to your lordship, the enemy has launched an attack from the west peak, and the main position has been covered by artillery fire in all directions."
"Order the soldiers to withdraw into the dugouts and wait until the artillery fire is over before launching a counteroffensive."
30 minutes, the roar of artillery fire lasted for a full thirty minutes, this attack directly lowered the height of the position of the Black King by 30 centimeters, but because of the choice of the helmet man, the loss of soldiers and materials in this attack was not large, if the previous bombing was not used incendiary bombs, then the damage would not be so great.
Before the battle began, the level was completely remodeled in the same way as a modern army, not only trenches, but also bomb shelters for air raids, but because of this, the defenses on the positions were very weak at the moment.
"The soldiers had broken through the first two layers of positions and met no strong resistance, and the enemy soldiers seemed to have withdrawn. No, the latest, the enemy rushed out from some hiding places and launched an attack on our soldiers, and at the moment the commandos are heavily damaged. ”
"Air raid facilities?" A sharp glint flashed in Silver Mask's eyes, "Have you determined the direction of the enemy's sortie?" ”
"It has been determined that the direction in which the enemy is coming includes 23 degrees south-west and 22 degrees north-east."
"The next wave of attacks, the main directions of attack are these two directions, requiring a high degree of search for passages in the trenches, and when discovered, immediately blow up those passages with grenades."
Another round of fighting, artillery fire washed the ground, the soldiers drilled into the bomb shelter that had been cast a long time ago, waited for the news that the artillery fire had stopped, and then rushed out again to defend their own defense, but the same trick was no longer effective, after the Yellow Turban Army rushed into the position, along the previous enemy's way to the bomb shelter, before the enemy counterattack, desperate casualties, blown up the entrance and exit of the bomb shelter.
"The position has fallen by more than 30%?"
"That's right, according to the current situation, if no new reinforcements appear, our positions will be captured within today's time."
There was no light in the soldier's eyes, but there was no limit to the other party's thinking, and at this moment, the low-level commander made an analysis according to the information he received from the battlefield.
But there was no way, in fact, when the artillery fire began to cover from the west peak, the helmet man had already responded, not only the soldiers began to shrink, but he sent a flying force to attack the west peak.
There, the flying troops were met head-on, and even though the opposing planes were almost completely wiped out, all the artillery was lined up on the western peak, including the anti-aircraft guns, and when the two-legged wyverns flew over the mountains, countless ammunition poured down on them, reaching the poor guys into a honeycomb.
The man in the helmet looked up and saw that the sun was approaching the sky, noon was approaching, and now no matter what happened, he could not change the final outcome, and he had succeeded.
"It's a good time to kill."
Whispering to himself, the helmet man issued an order with a serious face, "Carry out the Earth Rifting Plan." ”
"The enemy's resistance has weakened." After receiving the news, Silver Kamen came to the conclusion that it was a matter of course, "It looks like they are planning to abandon this place." ”
"Pursue the enemy, do not stop the attack unless the enemy's air forces are attacking in full, we are going to reduce the enemy's numbers here as much as possible."
This time, he didn't just stay in the command post and watch, at this time, he needed to go to the front line and control the final pursuit.
"Pang Zhi, end this battle with me."
Of course, as a sane person, he certainly knows that when he goes to war, he needs to bring at least one person who can fight.
"No problem."
The two joined the cavalry, mounted the giant spiders, and began the final pursuit, and yes, they pursued in a place where many trenches had been dug.
After all, when mounts change from horses to spiders, many terrain exclusions become open roads that can be left to their own devices. And they also need to be thankful for this pursuit, because just after they rushed out, the calamity struck.
The first was the shaking of the earth, and even on the eight-legged stabilizer, many cavalrymen could feel the violent shaking, but this was only a gentle greeting at the beginning. Then, a roar rang out, and black smoke rose from the top of the West Peak.
"That's it."
"Volcano, immediately order all soldiers to evacuate Xishan, and you can throw away other supplies except for what you bring with you."
But late, the volcanic eruption was very violent, from the initial smoke, to the sky was obscured by black fog, only 5 minutes passed, as for the slopes, it has been dyed red by the rock flow, and most of the people who are still on the mountain at this moment are already ripe.
"Why, it's just an extinct volcano."
Looking at Pang Zhi's unbelievable eyes, Xifeng, who had already been dyed red, was sure in his heart, "My choice is not wrong." ”
Even if you can't be the main character.
