Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Hammer Cannon
The army of Miana advanced to Venucci, using Lanconi as a springboard, and the war materials of the entire Vanisi were gathered in the southern part of the Venucci plain. Entering Venucci, Ren Di felt the industrial atmosphere of this land, where there are not only airship transportation, but also train transportation. The railroad tracks derived from the mine openings were laid directly on the Venucci Plain, saving the time of airship loading, and directly transported to the city-state of Venucci by dozens of kilometers of rail, from which a steady stream of heavy industrial machinery and armament was produced. The air was filled with gray mist.
A Celestial Tank drove on the plain like a moving hill, and on either side of the Celestial Tank, sixteen teams of infantry followed behind the massive war machine, and six teams of long bow mechs and three teams of mechic spiders moved in front of the tank. This huge army is now under Ren Di's command. Four hours ago, at the morning meeting, Ren Di received this long-prepared military mission.
For this task, Ren Di refused in his heart, and knew from the battles that Ren Di had played that this bridge was blown up in the plot. After arriving in this world and fighting for a year, Ren Di found that although he couldn't fully believe in the justice described in the game, the plots that appeared in the game were roughly present, and the bridge section that blew up the bridge appeared in the game, indicating that this task was almost impossible to complete.
At the beginning of the army's advance, Ren Di found that the battle at Venucci was different from most of the battles of the year. The march on the plain of Venucci was met with hostile eyes from the inhabitants of the area, and three hundred meters away, the cavalry troops of Johor Bahru were engaged in a fierce battle, and the three cavalry teams of Johor Bahru were met by two elite infantry regiments of the Governor. Faced with an enemy whose cavalry was still superior to its own numbers, the governor's elite troops did not retreat, but raised their bayonets directly against the cavalry commanded by Johor Bahru.
The powerful impact of the cavalry is incomprehensible to the infantry, often a charge saber is wielded, and then the impact of the horse, the head will be easily cut off by the sword light. This easy slash was devastating for the morale of the infantry. Most of the infantry could not stop the first assault of the cavalry, because the first axe of the cavalry was too strong. However, the infantry's iron will, under the onslaught of the cavalry, continued to maintain the array, and the contest between the bayonets and the sabers gradually tended to balance.
Riding on a tall horse, Josan looked very hideous with his face covered in blood, and was obviously extremely annoyed by the recalcitrant infantryman. This elite Venucci unit, shouting "Long live Venucci, death to Miana's dog mongrel", held the horse's head and pulled the grenade on its body, and the scene of dying with the cavalry abounded.
The will of this army to resist is so distinct that Ren Di is dignified. Hitting Venucci's house and encountering such an army is the worst situation in Ren Di's heart. Don't expect a country that has completed the Industrial Revolution to be as insensitive as its citizens when invaded by a foreign force. The people of Venucci are entitled to show pride against the other backward forces in the land of Van Si.
A huge stone statue of the Doge was erected in front of the city-state of Venucci, the symbol of Venucci, and the shouting of the Doge here was to trample on the pride of the entire Venucci for decades.
Suddenly, Ren Di thought of something and immediately ordered all the infantry to retreat. Ordered the mechanical spider to take over the cavalry of Johor Bahru and attack the troops in front of him.
The clattering mechanical spider came from the rear, and the rush alarm bell on the mechanical spider's boiler for the retreat sounded. Hearing this voice, Xinshan, who was killing the red-eyed man on horseback, wiped the blood on his face, looked at the enemy army that was about to be broken by himself, and then looked at the mechanical spider rushing over, with a stunned expression on his face, and then looked in Ren Di's direction with disdain. Raising his saber and saying to the cavalrymen beside him, "They are too late, we don't need this kind of support!" "The last two words of support are very yin and yang. If you look at it purely tactically, the mechanical spider that arrives now but wants to let the cavalry withdraw is very much like grabbing credit.
One hundred and twenty kilometers away, 60 meters high, 60 meters long, and a 2,000-millimeter caliber super-large caliber heavy artillery slowly raised its muzzle under the operation of dozens of hydraulic systems after receiving the coordinate signal transmitted by the telegraph transmission of the elite troops in front. Heavy shells weighing forty-two tons were transported to the bottom of the muzzle by a steel pulley block.
The entire cannon is a giant steel monster. When the cannon was raised, steam spurted out of the exhaust ducts around the cannon with a thud, sending out a blast wave of white gas. A hundred meters away from the cannon, the timer building of mechanical gears rang the steel bell sullenly one by one. The rhythmic sound of steel provides the final countdown to the launch of the heavy artillery.
When all the giant timers around the heavy artillery, the "bell" fell for the last time, all the timers, the electric gate fell at the same time, and the current passed through the wire at an untraceable time through the wire more than a hundred meters of wire, reaching the bottom of the barrel of the heavy hammer cannon. The electric spark flickered instantly, igniting the gunpowder in the chamber of the super cannon.
A large amount of combustible ore powder and oxidant react instantaneously to form a deflagration in the bubble chamber of steel.
Immediately, there was no unheard, incredible, terrible explosion, whether it was thunder, a volcanic eruption, or any other sound that could give a sense of the sound. Like a volcano erupting fire, a flash of fire sprayed the internal organs of the earth into the sky, and the earth seemed to stand up suddenly, and at this moment, only a limited number of people seemed to see cannonballs triumphantly splitting the sky from the smoke and flames.
When a white light rose into the sky, the whole of Venucci was illuminated by the light of fire, and in that incalculable moment, day replaced night in a large part of the land. This chiseled flame that penetrated the sky and the earth could be seen in the upper echelons of Miacomo and other Miakomo, more than a hundred kilometers away, like a huge meteorite streaking across the sky.
A huge burst of chemical energy turned into the kinetic energy of a super cannonball, and under the action of powerful kinetic energy, the cannonball broke through the atmosphere and reached the outer atmosphere with weak resistance.
When the white rainbow of the cannonballs was there, the harsh sunlight silently pierced the sky (the sound of the cannons had not yet been heard.) Ren Di thought it was going to be bad. Ren Di immediately climbed down from the gun truck and ran directly to the underground of the Celestial Tank. After waiting for seven seconds, Ren Di reached the vicinity of the tank. At this time, Ren Di felt that the sky was bright.
Just as a giant star is about to descend on the earth, and the dense air violently rubs against the giant cannonball, it seems that two suns appear in the sky when it returns to the atmosphere. For such a strange scene, Ren Di didn't look up at the sky without Wen Qing, and rolled directly to the territory of the Tianshen Tank.
At a distance of five kilometers from the earth, the heavy artillery shells disintegrated, and pieces of metal parts of about ten kilograms fell into the ground with a streamer in tow. Ren Di, who was hiding under the tank territory, felt the dazzling light emanating from the ground outside, and his ears suddenly became deaf. Countless debris rushed through the cracks in the bottom of the tank. Ren Di's left side of his body was exposed to the side of the entrance to the bottom of the tank, and his flesh and blood were blurred in the aftermath of the impact.
Seconds later, the belated roar of the Governor's cannon announced its terrifying launch.
In the south of Venucci, Giacomo watched the terrifying sight of the light falling dozens of kilometers away, and muttered, "What the hell is this?" The faces of the military leaders behind Giacomo were also very ugly. Kanery opened his mouth and said, "The direction of the attack should be, the direction from which Lieutenant Ren Di's army is departing, and you need to get in touch with him quickly." ”
"I'll go find him, he's in need of medical attention," said Dischucchio. Giacomo said: "Okay, ask him if his army can continue to complete the mission, and if not, save the strength and return quickly." ”
Giacomo regretted his sudden decision to order Ren Di to open up traffic in the morning. In the absence of sharp soldiers and reconnaissance, he rashly ordered Ren Di to lead the army to take the bridge by surprise and quickly. It seems to be a hot head.
Camera cuts.
Ren Di only suffered the aftermath. Shotgun weapons fired from heavy hammer cannons, weapons designed specifically for lightly armored soldiers. Carrying huge kinetic energy to break through the atmosphere, and then enter the atmosphere and fall from the sky, the huge kinetic energy carried itself is no less than the explosion of gunpowder, and finally scattered more than 3,000 metal blocks, covering a range of 500 meters in diameter, each metal block fell into the earth, directly creating a five-meter-sized pit three to four meters deep on the earth.
If hit head-on by this thing, the Medium Unit Steam Gunboom will be hit in an instant. The top of the Celestial Tank is now beaten by this blow, and the incomparably strong steel plate armor of the water layer is mercilessly pierced through the surface steel layer, and the huge thermal energy impact force is consumed in the water layer, but the water layer suddenly gets such a huge amount of energy, which has an impact on everything around, and the impact force puffs up several large bags in the surface armor of the Celestial Tank.
One of the barrels of the Celestial tank was hit exactly and broke directly.
From the very beginning, the Governor's unit engaged the Johor Bahru cavalry used portable spark radios to send battlefield coordinates to the city-state 10 kilometers away, and the city-state communicated the information to the hammer cannon 120 kilometers away through the central tower. The loading of the heavy hammer cannon, the adjustment of the muzzle has begun.
Ren Di's order was given very early, and the ground infantry corps quickly withdrew from the battlefield, leaving only mechanized troops. Under this blow, thirty percent of the troops composed of mechanical soldiers and steam spiders were directly beaten into metal trash. The rest of the mechanics in the fire range were brought with them. The shockwave of the ground from the shrapnel smashed into a machine with severe mechanical failure.
Ren Di survived, and as for the other lifeforms exposed to this blow, it was finished. After being swept away by a storm of rubble kicked off by metal bullets, men and horses are like a skin bag full of blood. Instantly full of holes. Courage cannot bridge this gap in absolute power.
Johor Bahru is dead. When he was found, half of his body was gone. Blood, muscle, and fatty tissue are blurred in the sand. Ren Di's scene Ren Di felt a desire to vomit. The more advanced the weapon, the more brutal the war. And the soldiers facing the war are under unimaginable pressure.
Ren Di did not linger on the battlefield of this lunar landscape.
"The original goal remains unchanged, and the attack on the bridge continues." When Ren Di said this order, the adjutant who came to pick up Ren Di looked at Ren Di, who was generally good, and the other half was bleeding everywhere, and showed a stunned expression for a while.
Looking at the adjutant's hesitant performance, Ren Di endured the pain in half of his body and said, "The heavier the artillery, the longer it will take to prepare for firing. We dodged this shot, are we going to go back and repair it and wait for this shot in the next mission? At least for now, the offense does not have to worry about being attacked again. Venucci couldn't be more terrifying than this one. ”
The tracks of the Tenjin Tank started again, and a large number of damaged mechs climbed onto the Tenjin Tank, while a large number of infantry followed the Tenjin Tank, Ren Di decided to continue advancing towards the goal of this battle, the Venucci Bridge.
