One Thousand Six Hundred and Ninety-Eight Heavy Artillery, Heavy Artillery!

The range of the 120mm heavy mortar is up to eight kilometers. In other words, the mortars in half of the city can hit the Zerg.

The painful lesson of Building 76 made the Funing Command Center feel heartbroken. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, the command center spared no expense. At least more than 200 mortars fired at the Zerg at the same time, terminal-sensitive bombs, high-explosive bombs, and anti-personnel bombs... Various shells were launched in turn, some were targeted, some were slowly advancing, and some were flying.

The high-intensity bombardment caused the defenders' ammunition reserves to drop sharply, but the Zerg covered by the artillery fire also suffered heavy casualties. Not long after, the last giant insect was killed by the shells, and the first round of the Zerg's attack ended in heavy barrages.

In the interval between battles, the defenders quickly collected the remains of the martyrs, replenished ammunition and personnel, and prepared for the next round of attack.

Not long after, the statistical data was sent to the front command.

Although the time of the battle between the enemy and us was short, the losses of the defenders were not small. In addition, the collapse of Building 76 caused the death of more than 200 defenders, more than 30 missing, and dozens of others injured to varying degrees.

One fortress building collapsed, several fortress buildings were damaged to varying degrees, and the collapsed Building 76 blocked the street, with a loss of nearly 300 people... The front command believed that if the enemy situation was discovered and the correct judgment was made, all the losses could have been avoided.

The front command immediately made a profound review to the Funing Command Center and deeply analyzed the mistakes in the battle.

The review is not the point, the point is to learn lessons and take warning, and not make the same mistakes again.

Everyone knows that the previous battle was only the first round, and there will definitely be more fierce attacks next.

The Funing Command Center is very clear about this, so just after the battle ended, several black-painted drones took off in the city center and flew low to the north.

Satellites cannot penetrate clouds, and reconnaissance can only rely on drones. Even if it is still raining heavily and the lightning has not stopped, drones must be released.

Several drones flew away from the city from different directions. One of the drones was hit by lightning before it flew out of the city. The signal sent back by the drone was blurred for a while, but after a while, the signal stabilized.

Half a minute later, the drone flew away from the city and began to transmit the situation in different directions back to the command center.

Through the drone's lens, it can be seen that the swarm is gathering in the north of Funing. Although the sky is covered with dark clouds, the swarm is still cautious. Even if they gather together, they still keep a safe distance.

In this way,

the area occupied by the swarm looks particularly large, and the drone can't see the edge of the swarm at all.

Many people have the same thought in their minds: where do so many bugs come from?

After finding the swarm, the drone began to hover above the swarm and sent the detailed coordinates of the swarm back to the command center.

Soon, the heavy artillery group located in the center of Funing turned its black muzzle to the north, and the heavy 155mm shells were sent into the barrel.

At the commander's command, 72 self-propelled howitzers distributed in various locations in the city center poured fire on the insect swarm at a rate of one round every six seconds. The first round of more than 70 shells flew to the north with a piercing scream, flying towards the direction of the insect swarm.

In just over ten seconds, balls of blazing flames suddenly exploded in the insect swarm under the drone's camera, countless giant insects were shattered in the explosion, and more giant insects were flying all over the sky in the explosion, including both ordinary giant insects and heavy light insects that were heavier than ordinary giant insects.

Funing City has a fully equipped heavy artillery brigade. In addition to 72 155mm heavy artillery, there are also 12 large-caliber expeditionary rocket launchers.

A salvo from the heavy artillery brigade is enough to cover a huge area of ​​300 football fields, but rocket artillery can't really do anything in front of heavy light insects, so this time only 155mm heavy artillery fired.

The effect of the artillery attack is indeed worse than the salvo of the entire brigade, but it is enough to give the insect swarm a good drink.

The second round of the Zerg attack was ended by heavy artillery before it even started, and the atmosphere in the headquarters seemed to relax a little.

However, the commanders were just relaxed, but they did not relax at all. Under the arrangement of the command center, the drones were divided into several groups and continued to fly north to further understand the situation of the Zerg... Funing City did not have many artillery shells in stock, but it was no problem to bombard it a few more rounds.

Moreover, there were three warships on the sea. If necessary, the command center could ask for the assistance of the warships and directly bombard the Zerg with naval guns.

The firing rate of naval guns is much faster than that of self-propelled howitzers. The firepower density of one gun is equivalent to that of an artillery battalion!

In addition to naval guns, there are also missile vertical launch systems on warships. If this thing fires a salvo, the firepower intensity is much higher than that of naval guns.

Unfortunately, the interception ability of the heavy light bugs is too strong, and weapons such as missiles and rockets are of no use at all, and can only be fought with artillery.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people were shocked and sweating.

Since rocket launchers and missiles have long range, strong firepower and good mobility, these two weapons have developed rapidly in the war, while the role of ordinary artillery has become smaller and smaller. It is because of low cost and high power that the artillery group is retained as the killer of the fortress city.

If Funing did not have this heavy artillery brigade, how would the next battle develop?

The density of the insect swarm is not high. Although the artillery killed a large number of giant insects, there are also many surviving insects. They quickly retreated after the bombardment and joined another group of giant insects in a short while.

The drone has been following in the air, and it happened to follow the clues and sent the location of this group of giant insects back to the command center.

But the command center did not immediately order the artillery group to fire, but instead ordered the artillery group to stay put.

It was not that the command center did not want to fire, but the distance of the Zerg was a bit far, and the Zerg was particularly scattered. If the artillery was fired at this time, the effect of the artillery would probably be worse than the first round of artillery. Instead of wasting artillery shells, it would be better to wait for the Zerg to attack and give the Zerg a hard blow when the density increases.

Given the terrain in the north of the city, the density of the Zerg will definitely increase as the distance approaches. If it is as sparse as on the screen, there is no need for artillery fire, and the front-line soldiers can directly use guns to solve the battle.

Although the Zerg has not yet planned to attack, the Funing Command Center has not planned to wait forever. The hovering drone quickly found the heavy light bugs in the Zerg.

At this time, the heavy artillery group has replaced the laser-guided shells, and several cannons have fired successively, and the shells flew straight to the north... Only a few cannons are not volleys, which is not at the same level as the previous artillery fire.

But it doesn't work that way. When the shells are about to fly over the insect swarm, the drone will illuminate the heavy light insects on the ground with lasers at the right time. The shells in the air will accurately capture the target position and immediately rush towards the heavy light insects on the ground.
