Chapter 10 Artillery Battle
"I want all of your air support," the protagonist Giacomo asks of Pyrata for his own strategic purposes. Perata did not refuse, it was wise to take advantage of Pyrata by virtue of good relationships, after all, Miana's army was still in Pyrata. It is obviously the best choice to tie the king of the highest Miana with human love.
It wasn't until ten days after the end of the Mijana War that Ren Di understood the weakness of Perata. Pylata was divided in his support for Miyana and Venucci. The great disagreement directly tore the entire Parata higher-ups, and the Paratas represented by Lianlana occupied the entire Parata and completely fell to Miana, while the Paratas who supported Venucci gathered in the Ampertone Forest west of Perata. As long as the Pyrata people in Ampertone Forest are not wiped out for a day, the entire Plata force is actually divided. Accustomed to the trick of crossing through the former world's number one-stirring stick country, Ren Di understood that the Parata people who had kept the Andotone Forest first, and that it was actually good for Miyana to create a de facto split in the Parata.
After the end of the repair, the brother of the king of Miana, Giacomo, convened a strategic meeting. Determine the strategic direction of the expeditionary force. The only traversers who can enter the strategy meeting before that are Andrew and Inoue Ohno. Andrew achieved this qualification because he led his troops in the wilderness to ambush and harass his opponents many times, and he succeeded in demonstrating a new way of warfare.
As for Inoue Ohno, he can repair and build excellent industrial prototype prototypes that are transported behind Miana. These industrial prototypes are the high-end technology of Miana, including the electrically automated mine collector. Even the powerful weapons that appear on the battlefield, such as the Governor's Mecha and the Steam Steel Spider, as long as the damage is not more than 70%, he can create the missing parts and restore them.
Andrew's ability as a professional soldier, as well as Inoue's ability to repair machinery, are very effective in this scenario campaign, with the former creating chaos for the enemy with a small amount of infantry using super-era tactics. The latter's mechanical capabilities have doubled the number of mechanical heavy equipment in the Miana Expeditionary Force.
Ren Di is the third traverser to enter the strategic decision meeting. It's not as good as the previous two, but it's about the same. Seeing Ren Di enter, Andrew greeted him with a smile and whispered, "I'm so glad you can come here." We will have a great time working together in the future. Seeing Andrew take the first step to pull Ren Di away, Inoue Ohno, who was a step slower, stopped stiffly when he was about to get up.
Although Ren Di's reflex arc was a bit long, he now also felt that the two traversers had different attitudes towards him. There were only 15 people who came to the strategic decision-making hall of the expeditionary force, and each of them was in charge of important links in the army, including logistics departments, reconnaissance departments, and firepower departments. The total number of Miana's expeditionary force did not exceed 30,000, but its system was complete.
Now Giacomo summoned the members of all the key links of this army and asked a question: "Now that we have taken it out of the throat of Perata, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in the face of the vast Van Si land, where will the direction of the army's attack be dominant?" ”
"Governor Venucci has done a lot of secret things for his conquest plan, and there are some die-hard puppets in his service. In the West, Fliglow provided the Doge with money, while the Wasteland forces provided the Doge with precious mineral deposits. If the Doge is to be defeated once and for all, his minions and eagle dogs must be cut off. ”
Ren Di, who had a poker face, pouted unconsciously in his heart, and Ren Di knew how strong Miana's military power was at this time, and a huge transport airship supported the baggage transportation of the Miyana expeditionary force. After tying the production base of the Pyrata aircraft to his own chariot, Miana's military power was already able to crisscross the land of Van Si.
Don't underestimate the strength of these 30,000 expeditionary forces, these 30,000 expeditionary forces can set up a military security zone in one place, and let the airship transport brigade drop the weapons production system. Recruit soldiers to join the local area, assemble and produce robot legions, and mine copper ore to maintain military energy. Maintain caravans to control the economy of the region. Occupy the region's inherent industrial and military production systems to maintain production and produce powerful new weapons. In a given region, the total number of troops can be increased to more than 100,000.
Of course, after the area is completely cleaned up, the military-political-economic system belonging to the local territory of Miyana has been completed. The 30,000-strong expeditionary corps that had been reduced in battle in the region would be replenished with elites. Continue to the next region. Occupy, maintain and continue the expedition in the same way.
Venucci was also well industrially technologically advanced, but lacked the transportation system to sustain the expeditionary force. The other two, as Caniri called them eagle dogs, were unable to sustain such logistical forces by the so-called Venucci puppets. As for the Pyrata, there are many small merchant ships and combat air force weapons, but the long-distance large carrier airship is not something that their weak industrial system can do.
In other words, Miana's military projection capability is the strongest in the entire Van Si. And the same is true in the game, where the army controlled by the protagonist can take down a territory in one turn, and those three villains can only take down an area in two or more rounds. This fully shows that due to the limited logistics, who has the ability to conquer the whole of Van Xi can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
If we say who is the biggest hegemon of Fanxi? The kingdom of Miana is this hegemonism. The forces in the other two regions, which Kalini called lackeys, actually lamented that they lacked industrial power, but they were forced to defend themselves by allied with Venucci, a powerful industrial power, before the Miana army.
Of course, all of you here are smart people, and no one refutes Kalini. Where to fight is now a question, Ren Di is actually biased to the north to seize the enemy's occupied mines. Ore is a strategic resource in industry. At the same time, the battlefield in the north has more room for detours, which is more conducive to the rapid expansion of the territory of the militarily strong Miana. If it goes north, its strategy is completely the strategy of Qin to avoid war and take Bashu first to enrich the rear of the country. If directly to the west, the blow to Fliglo was nothing more than cutting off the governor's economy and trade. It will not be able to deal a blow to the governor, but will be easily frustrated because the soldiers are too far forward.
However, Ren Di didn't dare to say this point of view after all, first of all, he strategically pointed out the country, after all, he was a mouth cannon, and he expressed his opinions on things he didn't understand, this kind of thing that showed his shortcomings, Ren Di, as a novice who had just participated in the battle for only two months, did not dare to have any arrogance. It just means that the artillery can obey the commander in all arrangements.
Moreover, this strategic decision is still in the hands of the protagonist, and the protagonist's new ally and confidante has a lot of say. To Ren Di's surprise, Andrew made it clear that he supported westward expansion. And every time he said a reason, Giacomo nodded in sympathy. The direction of the military offensive was thus decided.
When walking out of the conference room on the platform of the Mobile Machinery Association, Ren Di seemed to feel that Andrew was looking at him with a smile.
Seven days later, the siege of the Palatans in the Ampertone Forest against the recalcitrant Palata who had defected to the Doge began, and unlike the justice of Miana in the game, Ren Di felt that this opponent was really fighting for himself. At this time, Ren Di was also fighting for himself.
The smoke of red flames rose into the sky, and the shattered monoliths grazed his steel helmet, revealing a piercing grinding sound. The sound was like a file polishing all your teeth.
Which Japanese girl has been transferred by Ren Di, and artillery is not a safe post. Looking at the pale Japanese girl, her legs trembled, her eyes were blank, and she seemed to have collapsed. Under the pretext that the artillery needed an observer to get logistical support from the repair factory, Ren Di sent the girl to the relative safety of Inoue Ohno. The favor was returned.
When the enemy does not have artillery, the artillery unit can rely on powerful firepower to crush the enemy, which is a pure firepower school. However, a strong army always has to meet evenly matched opponents. Compared to this battle, the previous battle in Pyrata can only be regarded as a live-fire exercise.
The first in line of artillery, the enemy is always the enemy's artillery. So in this artillery battle, the artillery truck commanded by Ren Di is deeply appreciating the demeanor of the god of war. Powerful shockwave flames exploded around him, and Ren Di's legs were weak at first. But Ren Di can't leave like that Japanese girl. Before retreating, Ren Di's reason told him that Kalini would definitely shoot him.
Ren Di's legs were forced to stiffen on the artillery position, nervously judging the enemy's position based on observing the enemy's trajectory, but every time a shell hit his artillery position, the feeling of heartbeat for the rest of his life, and the fear of whether the next shell would fall on his head, made his calculations wrong again and again.
"The artillery truck retreated thirty meters and fired at a direction of 25.3 degrees and an elevation angle of 34 degrees." Ren Di shouted to the artillery riders under his command, shouting heartbreakingly. It seems to be a trilling voice that wants to hide his fear. Shoot a shot to change places, mobile counterattack. The enemy must not be given a second chance to correct the gun position. Ren Di used this tactic. But Ren Di unconsciously ordered the artillery to retreat. But they forgot that their artillery has another important task. Fight the steel pentagonal fortress where the enemy is stuck in the road.
A herald bent over and braved the artillery fire, ran to Ren Di and said, "Captain artillery, General Kalini asked you what you want to do?" From now on, you are strictly forbidden to take another step back, and within forty minutes the general will see you suppress enemy fire. Otherwise, it will be dealt with by military law. ”
Ren Di's face froze, the battlefield did not explain, even though he was under the care of more than 70% of the enemy's long-range firepower here, but this was not a reason, Kalini did not accept this reason.
The rockets fired from this steam fortress were extremely lethal to the infantry. Only the range of the cannon can destroy the enemy. Ren Di took on the task that he thought was just to be shelled. The steam cannon that drove out of the fortress of the pentagram shattered Ren Di's optimism.
The fortress is very rigid. It takes half an hour of blows to wreck. However, in this half hour, it was necessary to carry out a confrontation with the enemy's cannons.
The sound of "boom" louder than thunder exploded in Ren Di's ears, leaving a long ringing sound on his eardrums. A steam cannon carriage was hit fifty meters away from Rendi. The boiler that boiled water was like an apple hitting the ground from the third floor, and it was instantly flattened by the shock wave of the cannonball, the boiler shattered into countless cracks, high-pressure steam sprayed out along the cracks, the barrel shattered in the flames of the explosion, the gun carriage fell, and the boiler was deformed and sprayed in the firelight. An artillery carriage was destroyed.
Twenty minutes into the battle, Ren Di controlled his emotions. When these two vehicles are destroyed, it means that the artillery that can now hit its own place will not be able to fire again for at least fifteen seconds. As for how Ren Di was determined? After many battles, the sound of artillery on the opposite side, Ren Di roughly felt the direction, Ren Di was very afraid of death, and from childhood to adulthood, he had obsessive-compulsive attention to the sources of danger such as speeding big trucks, towering platforms, etc.
In the twenty minutes of tension, Ren Di, who was too lazy to remember things before the crossing, surprisingly remembered the location information exposed by the enemy's fire again and again, as well as the movement information. An impression of the enemy's artillery movement was roughly formed in my mind.
Fast, be sure to calculate faster. The invisible urging forced Ren Di to calculate quickly. Estimate for yourself how many chances you have to know how much time you have when fifteen seconds of safe time passes. Ren Di's quick calculations have all been converted into mental arithmetic. Relying purely on brain memory, I don't type drafts anymore.
There is no way back to squeeze all of a person's potential. In the 28 minutes of fighting the enemy, Ren Di achieved unified command of the remaining 18 artillery carriages on the Miyana side, and completed the ballistic shooting of the rear position of the 18 artillery carriages in 3 seconds, taking into account the time difference between the 18 artillery carriages and the readjustment of the angle. The maximum probability location of the local artillery truck cluster is estimated.
"Start, salvo 15, 12, 17, 1, 9." This battle of artillery bombardment, in the present, is beginning to reverse. Miyana's heavy artillery, under the command of Ren Di, finally fired a covering shot. This cover shot was effective, and the steam cannon that had destroyed the Miana gun carriage had not had time to dodge the cover blow. A violent shock wave overturned the gun carriage. The artillery carriage of the Pyrata rebels, which belonged to it, rolled down like a toy, riveting various parts rivets and falling as they collided with the earth. The tragedy is unspeakable. The combustion gases from the gun carriage's furnace spewed flames and set the trees on fire in an instant. The crackling flames set fire to the otherwise moist trees, and this flame could not actually ignite the damp forest, but the burning smoke filled the entire battlefield. The field of view becomes more invisible.
However, this is just the beginning.
Ren Di, who gradually grasped the state, also commanded four salvos one after another. Four salvos, all hits, all of which were ready to shoot the steam gun wagons that exposed their ballistics and were destroyed before they could evacuate. In the process, only one of the artillery carriages of Miana was incapacitated and withdrew to the repair area with the permission of Rendi.
The four volleys were like four giant flames and giant palms. The artillery battle in this world is that the distance between the two sides is four or five hundred meters. If you stand a little higher, you can see each other. At such a close distance, the sound of artillery on both sides could be heard. You don't need any high-tech equipment to probe the location of the artillery on the opposite side, the ears will do. Fear of death can't solve anything, it's incompetent, and it can't be used as an excuse to escape. Sharks have no swim bladder, but they can prey on other fish, and do it with all their might, sometimes better than talent support.
This is a careful battle of courage. All four strikes annihilated the Perata artillery, leaving the Pyrata artillery in disarray. They are also novices, even in the previous confrontation with Ren Di, they suffered a lot, but now that Ren Di has entered the state and began to shell in an orderly manner, after showing efficient killing, the accuracy of the shooting of this group of Pyrata artillery who can fight meaninglessly in the long sky has dropped by a level. The enemy's strong powerlessness seems to be unable to resist, and the period of resistance is lost.
Rumors that "we were under artillery fire by the enemy's suspected seven groups (a group of ten steam heavy guns)" appeared in the camp of the rebels in Perata.
Standing on the tall mech, he could look out from afar, looking at the explosion coverage area formed by the salvo of four artillery guns in front of him, and said, "They are afraid. "Three self-detonating robots with a height of three meters and carrying a large amount of explosives with flashing electric sparks, swaggering towards the fortress, because these self-detonating robots have long legs, walking speed is no less than ordinary people running. Five minutes later, the first bastion was blown up with three earth-shattering bangs.
Ren Di's artillery unit began to advance towards the next fort area.
