Chapter XXXIII

After the steam fortress on the north bank of the bridge was blown up, it meant that Venucci could not produce heavy steam trucks on the south bank and could not produce new tracked gun trucks. Poisoned by the yellow-green smoke screen on the bridge, Ren Di no longer has to defend the bridge with a rigid defense that cannot be used even an inch. Vinucci's army could not deliver large quantities of blasting explosives to the bridge in one go. It is not possible to cause serious damage to the main support structure of the Lanconi Bridge in a short period of time.

The most difficult task in the construction of a bridge across the river and sea is the construction of the bridge piers, and the second difficulty is the main bridge on the piers. These two main structures were blown up and could not have been built in a short period of time due to the intrusion of enemy ground forces. Of course, it is also very difficult to destroy the main structure of the bridge piers, which support the weight of the entire bridge, and are the strongest structure of the super bridge, the solid reinforced concrete pillars of the bridge on earth. The amount of explosives is less, and at most a layer of cement skin collapses, and the cement muscles firmly grasp the theme of the cement pier.

The situation of the girder bridge of the Lankoni Bridge is the same, without two truckloads of explosives, the two places that support the bridge in the center of the bridge explode, creating a complete fracture layer, and it is simply impossible to cause damage to the bridge in a short time that is difficult to repair in a short time. Therefore, in the defense battle of the bridge, the central position of the bridge is a rigid defense node that Ren Di cannot lose no matter what. Even if the combat capability of the army smoked by poison gas is greatly reduced, it is necessary to use mechanical troops to counter-charge and infantry to fire freely to continue the fierce battle on the bridge.

If Ren Di's mission fails. With the military atmosphere of Miana's current troops, Ren Di's fate must be very miserable. Of course, Andrew, who mixed into the North Shore, was even more unlucky. The war is fought by various units in concert with each other, and those who do not understand this and do not distinguish between personal grievances and the rules in the army are all given lunches.

When the steam factory was blown up, Ren Di finally breathed a sigh of relief. It means that when the poison gas blows over, I don't have to worry about losing my position. Over the next twelve hours, whenever Venucci's artillery carriage projected shells into the valley on the left side of the bridge and exploded in mid-air, creating a poisonous fog at the upwind of Rendi's defensive position on the bridge, Rendi told the army to abandon their positions and quickly retreat. On the long bridge, the Venucci army had to fire their mortars on the bridge in order for the gas projection to continue to cover the Miyana army positions on the bridge. At 12 hours, Ren Di gave up the 600-meter-long bridge deck position. Venucci's army advanced on the fifty-meter-wide bridge deck, and Miyana, who seemed to be defeated, was retreating.

When the roaring Celestial Steam Tank, with steam white smoke emitting from the huge air outlet at the tail, crushed onto the bridge in a giant posture. Venucci's achievements in twelve hours were instantly wiped out, and the 2,000-ton Celestial Tank was like a steam fortress, with a width of 31 meters, which meant that it was impossible for two Celestial tanks to travel side by side on the Lanconi Bridge. This monster pressed head-on, and the huge weight was crushed over the bridge deck through the tracks, and some sandbags, cement stone piers and other defensive items that were scattered on the bridge deck were directly flattened by the wide steel tracks, making a weird clicking sound.

The frontage, which is six meters high and thirty-one meters wide, is a moving steel wall, and when a bullet hits it, it is like sand and gravel hitting a steel plate in the wind. As for the heavy artillery, Venucci's tracked mortar is also a behemoth, but in front of the Celestial Tank is the scene of the confrontation between the white rabbit and the wild boar. Heavy shells slammed into the thickest frontal sloping armor of the Tenjin tank, and after the flash of fire from the explosion of the heavy shells, the immovable frontal armor rumbled over under the power of the tank.

There are two reasons for this, the frontal armor of the first god tank is 1.2 meters of metal steel, and then the frontal armor is thick and there are several layers of compartments containing boiler cooling water, the outermost steel plate of the frontal armor is 1.2 meters thick, and the back is separated by a grid-like tank layer separated by 20 centimeters of steel plates, so that the tank layer is 0.5 meters thick, and there are three such tank layers. Between each tank layer are 25 cm steel plates. This is the frontal armor of the Tenjin tank's excess defense.

The thickest part of the armor of the battleship Bismarck was 35 centimeters. Battleships floated on water, and the weight of the armor took into account the buoyancy of the ship, while heavy tanks sank to the bottom when they went down the river. Tanks of equal size had thicker armor compared to battleships.

And the Celestial Tank is simply a Land Cruiser, and if a metamorphosis armor-piercing bullet penetrates the frontal armor in time, its impact will also spread horizontally in the tank layer, which is the same theory as the liquid body armor of the new concept of American imperialism. And when encountering incendiary# shells, at most they leave burn marks on the outer armor. A paper pot filled with water and burned in the fire will not burn. Frontal armor backed by cooling water is not afraid of incendiary weapons, an advantage that has been battle-tested against a series of magical units summoned in the Irene Circle of Fire.

Now let alone breaking through the tank layer, even the outermost layer of armor, Venucci's heavy artillery can't penetrate it. Venucci's steam cannons were loaded with high-explosive shells that were lethal to infantry. The kind that blows up when it falls into the ground. Rely on the shock wave to kill people with shrapnel. However, against the frontal armor of the Land Cruiser, the effect was limited. In the Battle of Jutland on Earth, the explosive power of the British high-explosive bomb picric acid was stronger than that of the German ship's T~N~T bomb. But they all exploded outside the armor when they encountered it. The German artillery shell T~N~T shell is a pointed metal shell that drills into the inside of the armor by dynamic inertia, and then explodes. The Jutlander's reputation for being well protected was created by the defective shells of the British.

In the same way, if a shell with good lethality against infantry hits the frontal armor of the Celestial Tank, it is equivalent to adding a flash buff to the frontal armor of the Celestial Tank. Use the flames of the explosion to hold the Celestial Tank's coercion. The position that Venucci had fought for 12 hours collapsed during the half-hour advance of the Tenjin tanks.

The weak point of the terrestrial sea snake is the mechanical structure under several joint baffles. The weak point of the Tenjin tank was the transmission structure of the side tracks. Now the tanks on the march on the bridge are invincible. Ren Di was the first of several traversers to bring the Celestial Tank over to participate in the battle under his command. On the one hand, Ren Di's tactics have been recognized by the above, and on the other hand, it can also be seen that the importance of the Battle of Lanconi Bridge.

The turret of the Tenjin Tank slowly turned, and the two long-barreled main guns aimed their muzzles at the enemy troops on the bridge who were trying to attack the sides of the tank, like thunder. The cannon erupted with piercing tongues of fire, and countless points of light erupted from the muzzle of the cannon like a dragon's breath. A large number of high-temperature metal particles swept the 100-meter area in front of the Celestial Tank like a sand storm, and after the firing, the 100-meter bridge deck in front of it was like starlight, covered with red high-temperature metal particles embedded in the bridge deck. The faint red light is like a bridge embedded with rubies, and these high-temperature metal particles are vividly injected into the bridge deck by the powerful jetting power of the artillery.

The remains of some of the corpses that remained on the bridge deck instantly smoked. A tracked gun carriage that could not retreat was shot through hard, and the high-temperature metal particles penetrated into the gun carriage, which instantly caused the explosion of the remaining shells in the gun carriage.

This is the naval gun version of the Dragon's Breath Shell. In order not to cause damage to the bridge deck structure with the kinetic energy of the shells ejected by the long-barreled artillery. Ren Di asked Inoue for the customization of this special shell, and the appearance effect was amazing and terrifying.

Countless high-temperature projectiles dispersed and slowed down under the strong air resistance, and at the same time, it also drove a strong air flow, and a gust of wind swept along with countless projectiles, rushing towards the participating enemy troops on the bridge, and the clothes worn by the corpses on the ground were stripped off by the high-temperature air flow group driven by the high-heat projectile group. Burn into a fly back.

After the baptism of this storm, the mechanical spider seemed to have been stripped of a tendon and fell to the ground crookedly. Moving castle-like tanks push artillery carts in front of them, and steel wreckage heaps made of mechanical spiders propel forward. The ten-meter-wide passage on either side of the tank was blocked by the wreckage that had been pushed away in this way, and only the infantry could pass through.

After the Celestial tank fired. Two red spots formed on the bridge, both of which were made up of points with dense red-hot shotguns embedded in the ground. There was not a single living thing on the bridge deck baptized by such a rain of flames and steel bullets.

After the Celestial Tank fired, the Governor, sitting on the Governor's mecha, raised his robotic arm that fired a powerful beam two hundred meters away. A blinding white light shot out from a three-meter-long launcher with multiple separate diamonds. Spotted on the frontal armor of the Celestial Tank, in an instant metal sparks appeared on the thick armor of the Celestial Tank, a red-hot markings appeared, and then the markings expanded in the smoke, turning into a hole the size of a human head, and the molten metal liquid flowed out of the steel plate, but that's it.

If it were on the plains, the Governor's stream of cutting particles would shoot into the side armor of the Celestial Tank, destroying the complex mechanical energy transmission devices such as the rotating bearings of the transmission rod, and destroying the power performance of the Celestial Tank in one fell swoop. But now, if you shoot through the frontal armor, you don't have much energy even if you can shoot through the water layer. The Governor's blow was more symbolic than practical. Ren Di, who was hiding behind the turret of the tank, began to feel relieved by the side of the canyon wind. Looking at the governor who was poor in donkey skills, he said to the soldiers next to him: "Anyone with a little common sense can see that if our tank continues to advance, this mantis arm is the ...... of the car, woo."

The moment Ren Di spoke, the tank track pressed on a Governor mecha in the shape of an iron box lying on the corpse, and the cannon with two legs bent on the left arm on the iron box was destroyed by artillery fire, and after the track was opened, the right side of the tank was slightly raised, but how could the iron box structure of the Governor Mecha withstand the weight of the two thousand tons of the Celestial Tank, and it was deflated almost instantly. And that's why the Tenjin tank shook a bit. Ren Di, who was behind the tank battery, feeling good about himself and giving a victory speech, bit his tongue under this sudden upheaval.

The murder weapon that caused Ren Di to bleed the most in this battle was Ren Di's own teeth.

The Celestial's on the narrow bridge deck was like a bulldozer, pushing over, along the way, Venucci's various heavy weapons that blocked all kinds of retreats were destroyed by the Celestial Tank, the 600-meter road was a road of steel, fire and blood, and the side weaknesses of the Celestial God had never been completely avoided as today. Perhaps when the tank came out of the bridge, it could not turn, and both sides were exposed to fire on both sides of the bank of the canyon bridge, which was the best time to destroy the Tenjin tank.

Venucci's generals were hopeful, believing that Commander Miana, who had won such a great victory, would take advantage of the victory and pursue it again, driving the tanks to the exit of the north bank of the bridge, where various ambushes were prepared on both sides of the bridge.

However, when the Tenjin tank drove to two hundred meters from the exit of the bridge, it retreated under the gritted gaze of Governor Venucci. Everything was restored to the way it was, and Ren Di used the longbow steam heavy artillery mechanics to rearrange the battle line here, what it was two days ago, and now it is still the same battle line. For two days, Venucci's troops used all means to occupy almost two-thirds of the entire length of the bridge, and within half an hour they were pushed to their original positions, and on the north bank of the gorge, the steam cannons on the bridge began shelling the Venucci troops on the north bank.

Losing troops on the bridge, the Venucci army, which had suffered a great loss of vital forces, faced the invitation of Rendi's artillery group. Do not stay away from the bridge. The battle for the bridgehead guards came to an end.
