1005 Gustave
"I don't know what else these demons have. It's worth attacking the Burkeland Fortress..." Putting down the telescope in his hand, a man with a general on his shoulder seemed to be talking to himself.
He looked at the not-so-low mountain in the distance through the glass in front of him, with a disdainful smile on his face: "Those demons are still not giving up, they are considered very good fighters."
In his opinion, usually under such circumstances, a wise choice of surrender is the only way out for these demon defenders.
Those seemingly solid castles are just perfect targets for the bombers of the Airland Hill Imperial Air Force.
Originally, after invading the Demon Realm, the demons still owned a large number of floating castles, but now, these expensive ones, just to show off their powerful war weapons, have almost disappeared.
Because in front of the powerful air force of the Alan Hill Empire, these eye-catching floating castles are just some excellent targets for attack.
In just a few weeks, after losing a large number of demon dragons and demon bats, the so-called air force of the demons completely gave up the fight for air supremacy.
Even, they even lost the courage to take off to face the Airland Hill Imperial Air Force.
The remaining demonic forces basically began to evolve themselves into the early form of the Alan Hill Imperial Army - they began to dig trenches and trenches, camouflaging themselves as much as possible.
They used giant logs and all kinds of messy things to reinforce their defenses, and then used their flesh and blood to face the iron torrent of the Alan Hill Empire.
The gap in firepower between the two sides is like heaven and earth, and the superiority of the demons in terms of military strength is also being overtaken.
In the past, it was often the troops of the Alan Hill Empire who faced hundreds of thousands of demons with hundreds of thousands. Now the demons can only deal with the army of the Alan Hill Empire with almost the same strength.
Sadly, even if the troops are equal, the demon troops are no longer at the same level as the Alan Hill Empire in terms of logistical supplies and personnel replenishment.
An officer pushed open the thick steel armored door on the top floor of the command tower, walked behind his immediate superior, stood at attention, saluted and reported: "Sir! It's ready!"
"Has the feedback from the drone reconnaissance unit arrived?" Picking up the binoculars again, looking at the mountain in the distance and the dry forest around the mountain, the commander in the uniform of the lieutenant general asked in a long voice.
The officer who came to report the news immediately replied with his chin raised: "It has been sent to the investigation room!"
"Get ready for shelling..." the lieutenant general ordered without looking back.
"Yes!" The officer turned around at attention, walked to a phone, and grabbed the receiver: "The main gun is aimed according to the parameters... Authorized to fire!"
Slowly, behind a huge building, a giant steel cannon as thick as a chimney slowly began to point towards the sky.
The barrel of this giant cannon can even be stuffed into a grown man. Under the sunlight, the round barrel shone with awe-inspiring light.
On the other side of this cannon, at almost the same speed, another cannon was slowly erected.
After the latest modernization of Fortress Burkeland, today is the first time that it really participated in the war. In other words, it was the first time to show its amazing firepower to everyone.
"I understand! I understand! Yes! Target the enemy's defensive position! Special fuze... Destructive ammunition reloading!" Grabbing the phone, the shooting commander in charge of a giant gun stood at attention and replied.
He hung up the phone, turned around, and looked at his men who were ready: "Destroy bombs, not to attack the fortress..."
"Destroy bomb!" The assistant loader sang loudly, and then pressed the button. Four people supported the shell weighing more than 7 tons hoisted on the automatic loading mechanism, and escorted the shell to the loading position.
"The fuze is not an attack on the fortress!" After confirming the fuze on the shell, the deputy shooter raised his arm high and made a gesture of letting go.
The main loader presses the red button, and a huge push rod extends forward from the rear of the gun. The huge force pushes the shell into the barrel, and the propellant powder, which is larger than a millstone, is pushed into it one by one. Finally, the hydraulic rod assist system closed the heavy breech block.
Wearing earphones to protect their hearing, everyone looked in the direction of the shooting commander. A second later, the shooting commander raised his arm, then pressed forward heavily, and issued an order gesture to fire.
"Boom!" The huge cannon, which looked like a chimney pointing obliquely at the sky, spewed out black smoke and flames that covered the sky and the sun.
This cannon, cast by Ironforge and the largest caliber in human history, finally fired a powerful cannon two years after it was successfully grafted to the Bulkerland Fortress.
The different world version of the Gustav Railway Cannon, after being converted into the Bulkeland Fortress Cannon, fired for the first time in the Demon Realm.
The heavy shell was pushed into the sky by a large amount of propellant, and then began to fall after the kinetic energy was completely converted into potential energy.
It drew a beautiful parabola and rushed obliquely towards the enemy's position.
Then, the moment it hit the ground, the 7-ton shell exploded. Because it used a trigger fuze, the shell did not have the effect of penetrating the ground.
The huge explosion expanded instantly, swallowing everything around. The land as large as two football fields turned into a super terrifying circular crater at the same time as the explosion.
The trees around the circular crater were broken and fell in the direction opposite to the center of the circle. And the devil's trench closest to the crater has long since ceased to exist with the explosion.
Even though it was a hundred meters away from the crater, the unprepared demon soldiers in the trench were still killed by the spreading shock wave.
Some demons even bled from their seven orifices, and were directly killed by the huge explosion on the ground. Many of the demons who were farther away were seriously injured and unable to fight.
There were only humming in the ears of many demons, and they looked around helplessly, as if they were looking for something.
Just as they looked around blankly, a distinctive heavy rain began to fall in the sky.
Countless gravel and gravel fell down, hitting the armor and helmet of the demon soldier, making a crackling sound. These demons can no longer hear such a small voice, but they can feel...
He felt the sound of the damned gravel falling and hitting the armor on his body. And this kind of beating didn't stop for a long time, as if these demon soldiers were going to be buried alive.
