Chapter 535: Timing to Fight Back
With Yuyang's order, the hundred heavy guns that had already entered the position opened fire at the same time, and three hundred powerful high-explosive shells were fired in one minute. In order to avoid enemy fire, the heavy guns returned to cover as quickly as possible after completing three bursts of fire.
It's just that the heavy artillery is not aimed at the humanoid Rock Demon Legion that is rushing towards the defensive line.
Dozens of seconds later, as three hundred high-explosive shells fell, the artillery position located in the rear of the Silicon Charm army turned into a sea of fire, and the artillery that began to show off their might and posed a serious threat to the human legions on the defense line suffered a catastrophe, and the heavy artillery of the Silicon Charm army suddenly became dumb.
It can be said that it was an extremely beautiful artillery strike.
Although this was the first time to command a large-scale ground battle, Yang Yi had a strong learning ability, and immediately realized that the biggest threat was not the Silicon Charm Legion that had already killed in front of the defense line, but the artillery in the distance. Under the suppression of artillery fire, not only can the officers and soldiers on the defensive line not be able to fight on the position, but even heavy tanks will have difficulty surviving after leaving the bunker, so as long as the enemy's artillery is still firing, do not think about holding the defensive line.
After making this judgment, Yang Yi immediately asked Yuyang to adjust the deployment.
At this time, the detectors provided by the Weaver Constellation played a crucial role.
These probes, which had been hovering over the heads of the Silicon Phantom army, had discovered the enemy's artillery positions in time, providing the most important information for the human legions to carry out artillery counterattacks. It was precisely because of knowing the exact location of the enemy's artillery positions that the heavy artillery of the human legion was given the opportunity to counterattack while the enemy's artillery was suppressing its artillery fire, and it only took one counterattack to destroy all the enemy's long-range artillery, at least the long-range artillery that had been exposed. If there is no accurate intelligence, let alone only a hundred heavy artillery, even a thousand heavy artillery will not help.
What's more. This artillery counterattack effectively contained the enemy's attack.
As the enemy's artillery suppression ended, the four hundred heavy tanks on the position once again came out of their bunkers and began to fire at the rushing humanoid rock demons.
Instead of using expensive armor-piercing shells, high-explosive shells are more efficient against humanoid rock demons.
Although the main guns of heavy tanks are not as good as heavy guns. But the power of the high-explosive bomb is also huge enough, and there is no problem at all in killing the humanoid rock demon. What's more, the main guns of heavy tanks have a faster rate of fire. It does not need to aim when dealing with cluster targets, and the rate of fire can reach fifteen rounds per minute.
In addition to the main guns, heavy tanks were armed with small-caliber machine guns.
Four hundred heavy tanks is four hundred mobile points of fire.
No longer worried about artillery fire, all 400 heavy tanks remained on the position, which became the most powerful firepower output point on the position.
At the same time, all officers and men of the four corps took positions and began to fire at the rushing enemy.
Although the humanoid rock demon that rushed to the front was less than five hundred meters away from the defense line of the human legion. But these last 500 meters have become an insurmountable moat. Because the commander in the rear did not give the order to retreat, even if they were hit by covering fire, the 150,000 humanoid rock demons of the fifteen legions did not stop, and they still pushed forward without hesitation, and then became cannon fodder without any suspense.
It can be said that this is not a battle at all, but a massacre.
Although the humanoid rock demon is also firing at the human officers and soldiers on the position. But with trenches and bunkers, human casualties were minimal.
A few minutes later. The commander of the enemy finally realized that there was nothing wrong with the assault and gave the order to retreat.
In just a few minutes, at least tens of thousands of humanoid rock demons were killed, and even if they were lucky enough to evacuate, most of them were seriously injured.
The battle did not end, it was simply transferred somewhere else.
When the Humanoid Rock Demon Legion retreats. The artillery of the Silicon Charm Army spoke.
Obviously, the commander of the Silicon Phantom army also realized that the human legions on the defensive line were not to be feared, and the heavy artillery deployed in the barracks was the threat.
The shelling was extremely heavy and accurate.
The first few rounds of fire covered the positions of the heavy artillery. Although most of the shells were intercepted and did not fall, many shells still exploded inside the barracks.
It's just that it still doesn't make much sense.
Quite simply, before the Silicon Charm army could launch an artillery counterattack, the hundred heavy guns had already withdrawn to their bunkers and were not left in the positions they had fired at before.
Obviously, the Silicon Phantom army does not know about the situation of the Human Legion, let alone accurately grasp the movements of the Human Legion.
On the other hand, Yang Yi can grasp every move of the silicon charm army in real time.
Just when the Silicon Charm army was counterattacking with artillery, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to give the order. Without waiting for the shelling of the Silicon Charm army to end, the hundred heavy guns that had maneuvered to the reserve positions opened fire again. The result was obvious, all the long-range artillery that was firing at the barracks was wiped out.
It was, so to speak, a battle between artillerymen.
If there's one advantage of the Silicon Charm Army, it's that there are more than enough long-range artillery, while the Human Legion only has a hundred heavy guns. That is, even if it receives a heavy blow and suffers heavy losses, the artillery of the Silicon Charm army will not immediately lose its combat effectiveness. Comparatively speaking, the human legion could not afford to lose much. It only takes one mistake to allow the enemy to seize the opportunity and lose the main long-range firepower.
Thankfully, that didn't happen.
In the back-and-forth artillery battle that lasted for several hours, the Silicon Charm army lost at least a thousand long-range guns, while the human army had less than ten heavy guns damaged, and only slightly damaged. According to the artillerymen's report, these damaged heavy guns can be repaired, it just takes some time.
The shells in the past few hours have also completely destroyed the confidence and fighting spirit of the commander of the Silicon Charm army.
To put it bluntly, as long as the heavy artillery of the human legion is still firing, let alone a hundred Silicon Charm Legions, even if there are a thousand Silicon Charm Legions, they may not be able to win. What's more, to launch an attack before suppressing the heavy artillery of the human legion is to send the Silicon Phantom Legion to death.
The problem is that relying on the long-range firepower of the Silicon Phantom Legion alone cannot suppress the heavy artillery of the Human Legion at all.
This has been proven by shelling, which lasted several hours.
Although the commander of the Silicon Charm army has realized that the other party has a reliable way to obtain battlefield intelligence and grasp every move of the Silicon Charm army, otherwise those heavy artillery can't be so sharp, let alone avoid the shelling of the Silicon Charm army in time every time. But the commander of the Silicon Charm Army could only sigh, because after fighting for so long, the Silicon Charm Army had not found the few small detectors hovering over it.
With no other choice, the commander of the Silicon Charm army had no choice but to call for reinforcements.
As those Silicon-glamorous battleships reappeared, the fierce artillery battle came to an end.
Although the heavy artillery is extremely powerful, as long as it hits directly, it will definitely destroy the small warships of the Silicon Charm Alliance, but no one will use heavy artillery against the battleship.
Quite simply, the rate of fire of heavy artillery was too slow, and the speed of the shells was not fast enough, and the probability of hitting the battleship was almost zero.
In the face of the battleships of the Silicon Charm Alliance, Yang Yi had no choice but to let the heavy artillery withdraw to the bunker.
It's just that the enemy came prepared this time.
After the battleship began to bomb, Yang Yi found that it was not the artillery position that was bombed, but the air defense position, that is, the air defense weapons deployed in the barracks.
Now, the problem is serious.
Although the anti-aircraft weapons are heavily protected, each anti-aircraft turret has a separate energy barrier, and is directly driven by an SSS-class Origin Energy Converter, which can also be reinforced by soldiers when necessary, which is enough to cope with a general attack, but in the case of a focused bombardment, the energy barrier will certainly not be able to maintain forever. Because the anti-aircraft turrets are all fixed and cannot be evaded like heavy artillery, as long as the energy barrier is broken, it will be destroyed. Without an anti-aircraft turret, the entire barracks would be exposed to enemy warships. At that time, the enemy does not need to launch a ground attack at all, but can completely destroy the barracks and kill all the human officers and soldiers in the barracks just by bombing.
Apparently, the enemy found the right tactics.
To this end, Yuyang proposed to send the Special Reconnaissance Brigade and the Female Samurai Guard to strengthen the anti-aircraft turret, that is, to use its own small Origin Energy Converter to strengthen the energy barrier. Female samurai all have S-level origin converters, and the officers and soldiers of the special reconnaissance brigade are not bad, and they will definitely be able to hold out for a while.
The question is, how long can it last?
Besides, the Special Reconnaissance Brigade and the Female Samurai Guard are the trump card units in Yang Yi's hands, and they are the only mobile units that can go deep behind enemy lines and fight alone. If it is used to fight with the enemy, even if it is only to consume the ubiquitous Origin Energy, it is tantamount to destroying the heavens.
In addition, in Yang Yi's view, the best defense is offense.
The enemy has begun to attack the barracks, and the battle has lasted for several hours, although the defense line has not been broken through, it is still in the hands of the human legion, but it has been pressed and beaten by the enemy, and the officers and soldiers on the defense line will definitely be affected. There are no problems now, just because there are not too many casualties. As the fighting continues, casualties are certainly inevitable. When the time comes, there will definitely be problems with the morale of the front-line corps.
The only way to change this situation is to launch a decent counterattack and use victory to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the officers and men.
In fact, Yang Yi has long been aware of this, and has been waiting for the opportunity.
In addition, before that, the situation was not urgent, at least the morale of the front-line corps was not a problem, and there was no need to rush to launch a counterattack.
With the arrival of the Silicon Charm battleship again, and the focus on bombing the air defense turret of the barracks, Yang Yi had no other choice.
Even from the perspective of the battle situation, now is not the best time to launch a counterattack, because even if it is won, it will not help much to improve morale. It's just that if those Silicon Charm warships are allowed to bomb unscrupulously, even if they do not suffer losses, they will be attacked by the enemy all the time, causing the officers and men to lose confidence and hope for victory.
Considering these, Yang Yi did not adopt Yuyang's suggestion, but decided to change from passive to active.
If you can kill those Silicon Charm battleships in front of millions of soldiers on both sides, it will not only boost the morale of human officers and soldiers, but also hit the morale of Silicon Charm soldiers.
Why not? (To be continued.) )
