Chapter 737 Chapter 1713 Digging at Each Other's Vital Points

Chapter 737 Chapter 17.13 Playing against each other

All of Enma's skills, combined with the Iron Star Corps under his command, have excellent fire concentration capabilities.

When the two door-like covers on the platform with a white circle in the middle of Osimar's "Earth Bear"-class land cruiser were opened, an electromagnetic tower with a diameter of three meters slowly rose.

Enma corrected his tactics in time and focused a round of fire on these busy "Repair Force Field" tanks.

Enma: Give all the hatred to the wet nurse.

As for the second round of shells, they were replaced with "rusted thermal bombs", shells with dispersive properties, which are shells specially designed to deal with magnetic field repair.

Iron Star's suddenly dense rain of bullets focused on the Earth Bear, which shone with blue light.

Among them, the external floating armor of Earth Bear No. 1 only blocked and deflected three shells. The fourth one hit the electromagnetic repair tower, and the fifth and sixth heavy shells caused it to ignite a fire.

Sixteen minutes after the battle, the seventh Initiation shot directly entered the interior. The 700-ton Earth Bear Level 3 overweight unit was killed by a salvo. Huge flames and thick black smoke could be seen dozens of kilometers away.

After half an hour of fighting, two of the 15 ships of the Osima Corps were destroyed on the spot. The existing gap in military strength has become even greater.

Enma's highest-level "group hit probability improvement" skill is fully utilized in team battles.

Each Earth Bear on the battlefield was severely injured one by one, incapacitated, or directly turned into black and tarnished metal remains.

…The battle is developing in a direction that is unfavorable to the Osimar people. Morale begins to collapse. As a general, Zhengqiu must do something...

The Midas Hand, after an hour of experience, had almost restored the shell armor. He had to join the battlefield and began to look for combat troops that could fill the gap.

Yes, he locked in a powerbuster.

The four-legged land cruiser was on the road, its four mechanical legs squatted down slightly, like a squatting dung beetle.

The square cover at the rear of the Land Cruiser opened, and a three-meter-long super-heavy warhead flew into the sky. This palm skill dropped from the sky and spanned twenty kilometers. It dived to the ground with precise guidance, letting the energy The saboteur deployed three energy protective shields in the sky, but there was no obstruction at all.

Enma could see clearly that the amount of information contained in this thing in the etheric world was huge, enough to melt any steel.

Enma made a prompt decision and ordered the No. 12 Energy Destroyer battleship to abandon the battleship, but it was already too late.

Well, as the molten warhead sank into our own steel land cruiser, the entire tank melted, and the soldiers inside melted like they were submerged in molten steel. After the hot molten steel lasted for thirty seconds, it immediately lost its temperature and turned into a pile of powder.

…None of the “heroes” above level 6 in the industrial age are simple. …

Enma sensed that no one left in that convoy and determined that all the combatants on the No. 12 ship were sacrificed. Wei Keng also fired real fire in this regard.

The two-hundred-ton "bazooka" behind Iron Star began to project, and groups of warheads also emitted long smoke and hit Zhengli. The electromagnetic flash caused the chariot to become sluggish, causing its speed to drop to 30%.

However, the "Vine" level missile vehicle (300 tons) in the back row of Osima also projects "magnetic fluid warheads", which purifies the electromagnetic residual effects. Both sides carry negative buffs and warheads that remove negative buffs.

The "state" of this 600-ton mechanical spider is like a broken light bulb, flickering and changing repeatedly. Various magnetic pulses and flashes of condensed matter erupted alternately on the tank's shell.

Of course, Enma also knew that time was running out at the moment. Once Zhengli returned to the battle queue and received a round of force field repair, this round of attacks would be wasted again.

Enma mobilized peripheral light armor reserve forces.

Ten kilometers away, Iron Star's self-propelled artillery vehicle, which was optically hidden on the periphery, began to raise its gun barrel and fired five consecutive salvoes that swung from top to bottom.

These "light warheads" fell on the original long battle line of the Kingdom of Osima, and the "missile system" land frigate that was preparing to mobilize towards the rear suddenly appeared with a huge dust cloud following the falling steel hail.

On this marching railway line, in the eight-meter-wide heavy armored train, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Osima who were jumping out of the chariot were also beaten to pieces by shrapnel. The Osimar Land Cruiser loses its infantry cover capability.

Twenty minutes later, the Iron Star Legion began to approach,

The Iron Star heavy artillery projectile ship also began to hurl one-ton artillery shells to the rear, and one artillery shell landed in the middle of the train on the Osimar side.

The super-heavy warhead immediately penetrated the train and exploded at the bottom. The 120 kilograms of explosive warhead inside the one-ton heavy shell pushed the eight-meter-wide train three meters away, and then the car body derailed. The inertia of the train caused the train to fly. The carriage of the derailed train continued to slide forward, turning into a "Z" shape, blocking the road.

The essence of land warfare is impact, not mutual shelling at sea. The cooperation of lightweight mechanical units and engineers can play a decisive role at the critical moment of confrontation.

...Iron Star’s mechanized infantry are currently the best tactical executors on the Wanlun Continent. …

When behind the Iron Star, a new round of steel hail (rapid fire of 150 mm caliber artillery) suppressed these "land frigates" and won ten minutes of charge time for the forward mechanized infantry.

The armored cluster on the Iron Star side, more than 40 50-ton assault light tanks, and motorized light infantry equipped with "air cushion suspension", quickly approached the core formation of the Land Cruiser of Zhengli, despite the sporadic firepower of "light artillery" (70 to 90 mm caliber) of Oshima.

This is the tactic that the Iron Star Corps has repeatedly figured out in several major battles. After suppressing the attention of all parties with precise firepower at all levels, it then takes advantage of the enemy's time difference and the gaps in space pulling to carry out close-range assault and blasting.

The 44 light armored vehicles on the Iron Star side quickly charged and attacked the flank of the Oshima troops. The first wave of six chariots that rushed forward were destroyed by the 80mm anti-aircraft secondary guns of the "Golden Touch", but then the spherical turrets on the mechanical dung beetle-shaped armored vehicles of Zhengli were destroyed by armor-piercing shells.

Most of the Iron Star chariots relied on their small size and high speed to penetrate the side and successfully suppressed the "Golden Touch" secondary guns with armor-piercing shells.

The Storm Commando who jumped off the chariot had already been modified into steam armor. A steam backpack on the back, emitting hot steam, began to support the pulley flying board under their feet to start interlacing.

These Iron Star Commandos came to the "Golden Touch" land battleship that needed to be looked up, and hung the explosive pack on the thigh of this mechanical chariot. As the metal spring on the explosive pack ticked, the clock reached the time, and with a bang, the leg exploded with flames, and the Golden Touch broke.

The 20-meter-high land battleship where Zhengli was located, like a horse being tripped, immediately knelt on the ground. After the thigh was exploded, a series of mechanical steel cables immediately shuttled down from the chassis of the Golden Touch, ready to evacuate.

In the Golden Touch, General Zhengli looked out the window at the "Storm Commando" who were evacuating quickly.

The general was silent, because when this light armored unit approached, he had already sensed the crisis.

The main gun firepower of the Land Cruiser on the Oshima side, which could have suppressed the "Light Armor Commando" with firepower, was suppressed by the Iron Star troops at the same time.

The old general was sure that the Iron Star commander had a superb ability to coordinate and created a gap in his own defense.

…No matter how strong the fortress is, there will be times when the corners are dug, and no matter how powerful the armored force is, it needs infantry cover. …

Fifteen minutes later, when the Storm Commando had just evacuated, the Midas Touch had not yet repaired its broken mechanical foot, and a new round of artillery fire came.

Six 500-kilogram heavy artillery shells penetrated the armor plate of the Midas Touch successively. The explosive warheads caused large pieces of metal distortion and gaps in the steel plates on the armor plate, even though these steel plates tried to close like life after the explosion.

On the Iron Star side, An Jiexin, who attacked again, drove the spaceship and approached two kilometers, stopped and deployed the mechanical foot. The front end of the spaceship slowly stood up, a 20-meter long-barreled cannon like a longbow. As the red circle in Anjiexin's field of vision shrank to a point, a blazing torrent directly penetrated the "Golden Touch", which was already full of cracks.

The blazing flames directly penetrated most of the "Golden Touch". When the blazing burning ended, the large amount of toxic substances in the cabin had caused the battleship of the Golden Touch to suffer 40% damage.

After a successful attack, Anjiexin put away the artillery of her warship, "bang bang..." After firing a large number of smoke shielding bombs, she immediately unfolded the mechanical wing surface, relying on the chassis rocket jet to quickly take off and leave the original place.

The "Golden Touch" was annihilated after the second hour and forty-seven minutes of the battle, and General Zhengli was forced to abandon the warship. And this land battleship is the flagship of the Oshima Eastward Corps this time.

The troops of the Kingdom of Oshima temporarily lost their leader. The original dispatch along the railway line was already chaotic, and now it has changed from a long snake formation to a caterpillar broken into three sections.

The troops of Iron Star started to move in a T-shape, and attacked the First Legion of the Kingdom of Oshima in unison.

…This was the largest armored battle in fifty years. …

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Iron Star ended the war, and at the cost of destroying an "Energy Destroyer" land cruiser and four "Projector" land fire ships, 15 land warships including the Golden Point were completely wiped out. Twenty-five train cars and six locomotives of strategic materials were also seized. Thirteen thousand people including General Zhengli were captured.

The strategic mobile force urgently sent to the front by the Kingdom of Oshima was completely wiped out.

After the war, liquid metal repair fluid was injected into each chariot along with the mechanical arm of the battlefield support vehicle. Under the injection of ether field information, these liquid metals showed a highly intelligent effect and quickly repaired the Iron Star troops.

After the repair, the main force was divided into two groups. One group was led by An Jiexin. Three "Cheetah" class land cruisers started eight large wheels with a diameter of three meters, and all light mechanized troops escorted the prisoners back to Kaidi City.

The Enma Group carried the last ammunition and supplies and headed straight to the north! Time is very precious. This is the "risky move" of Beth's troops to delay.

Now the upper echelons of Oshima are worried about their capital after the great defeat, and are ready to fight a "royal capital defense war", but once they judge that Enma's strategic intention is not the Oshima capital on the Wind Whisper Plain, but Yuzui Port, then they will soon move again.

Narrator: Bess's group of combat forces is very dangerous. It is built on the fact that there are outstanding people in the royal capital of Osima. In fact, Wei Keng will look down on his opponents most of the time. As the defeat of Zhengli spread to the Wind Whispering Plain, the royal capital That group of nobles were not nervously engaged in a battle to defend the royal capital, but were panic-stricken and discussed moving the capital. All strategic mobile forces prioritized ensuring the safety of these important figures and did not dare to compete with Enma's strategy and cut off Enma's road.

…The perspective comes to the international level, Osimar is starting to fight, and Anglo has already “shot its bow without looking back” to project interference power…

In the first half of the 12th, Wei Keng broke through the defense. Behind Sky Mainland, the Anglians hastily launched a new round of intervention.

Iron Star's northern line is also facing strategic threats. The defense tower facilities built by the "Molten Steel Tower City" on the Reims retreat during the first intervention are now being attacked by waves of the second wave of intervention forces.

And on December 9, dozens of hours after Enma annihilated the Osimar "Golden Hand" regiment, this defensive front composed of eight defense towers was already equipped with heavy artillery and airships brought in by Anglo. The army's fire bombing turned it into smoking ruins. Iron Star paid the price of 3,000 casualties and was delayed for a full ten days.

The second defensive battle of Molten Steel Tower City is inevitable. While Anglian continued to deter Molten Steel Tower City to the south, the light armored troops were also ready to harass and delay the attack.

...The current uprising situation is linked to the entire northern continent...

Enma headed north, trying to cut off the Anglian's follow-up supplies in the Osima Fish Mouth Port. As long as this was cut off, it would be impossible for the Anglian to interfere with the Iron Star.

(Narration: Just like the founding battle on the island of Eastern Civilization in Northeast Asia in the ancient industrial age of the main world, instead of solving the problem on the island, America can directly infiltrate the Dongsanshan Industrial Zone in the option. Others will take the initiative. In the following decades, when the western border continues to instigate rebellion, do not think that the other party has a conscience and will not use "evil tricks")

Like a giant clockwise revolving door.

Seeing that Anglo turned around quickly, he first went south to Molten Steel Tower City, and then mobilized the conservative forces in the Sky Empire to force the Iron Star Corps to withdraw its troops.

The Enma force group was still fast enough to cut off the north, and Yuzui Port, the important port transshipment base of the Anglo, made the Anglo Persian fleet and the interventional armed forces a lonely force.

...Iron Star is now challenging the three northern empires of Wanlun Continent alone...

On December 10, the Enma Corps came to the city, Yuzui Port, the northern port of Osima. Before the subsequent infantry regiment arrived, the artillery attack mode was started.

Heavy artillery shells fell into the outer fortress of the port, causing the entire port to ring nervous bells.

But before the port defenders could recover, or in other words, the sudden fall of the shells caused panic in the port guard regiment, which had been mainly engaged in smuggling in the past two years.

Neither the Anglo troops stationed here nor the local officials of Osima thought that war would break out here one day. Now I'm suddenly in trouble and I don't know how to deal with it.

All in all, the Anglo defenders here are far from well-trained, so much so that the anti-aircraft cannons in some large warehouses do not have combat-ready personnel on duty at all.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Iron Star low-altitude dive fighters broke into the city from the east and accurately dropped fifty-kilogram thermite incendiary bombs. These warheads fell into the unguarded warehouses in the port.

For these large, forty-meter-high buildings, no one reacted within 20 minutes of smoke rising from the top, and eventually the warehouse was burned through, igniting a raging fire.

After the investigation, those who wanted to put out the fire found that the water pressure in the pool was insufficient, and those who started the steam press were transferred to the frontline defense tower to carry out work.

Of course, another theory is that there was a large deficit in the warehouse, so the fire was deliberately ignored by the warehouse executives.

...In the Kingdom of Osima, it threatened the interests of the Anglos and triggered a crisis of imperial rule on the entire continent. Later historians felt that this battle was particularly chaotic...

On December 11, during the Iron Star counterattack and occupation of Osimar, Iron Star reinforcements arrived at Osimar. Five infantry regiments crossed the defense line from the Sky Empire in chariots, along with three "Mountain Giant" logistics vehicles. Support ships arrived with siege weapons.

The defense of Yuzui Port is in danger

While Enma was planning a strong plan, he was also observing the city.

After Tie Xing's airship completed the work of laying mines at sea, the person in charge of this area, An Jie Xing, reported to Enma: The entire city's defenders had no intention of leaving the city to fight.

The map of Yuzui Port was unfolded during the group discussion hosted by Enma, with each coordinate point and channel accurately represented on it. And now the temporary weather observation station has given the arrival time of the next wave of cold wave.

A series of islands on its northern line produce a large amount of floating sea ice in November. Only Yuzui Port has a molten volcano on the sea surface, forming a safe channel that is not frozen.

Now, after Iron Star has uprooted a series of defensive fronts on the outside, Iron Star has blocked all land and sea communication lines here.

An Jiexin's ground-effect aircraft "layed eggs" on the sea, and the magnetic mines burst into the sea water, completing the tactical requirements of blocking the waves.

Since then, although Anglian has not lost its port, the entire port has not been able to function.

In the eastern part of the Bohai region, the Anglo intervention forces that landed in the northern part of Iron Star are now trapped in the ice sea.

…the unbreakable alliance between the Angles and Ocemar begins to rise to the challenge. …

Next, it depends on whether the internal political groups of each country are united and whether they compete with each other in strategic conspiracy.

During the period at the end of the 3232nd year of the Fire Emblem Calendar, the Iron Star's posture of encircling and annihilating heavy military groups on the continent one after another made the entire continent tremble.

Whether it is Oshima or Anglo, there are still a large number of heavy military groups in the vast territory, but these cannot be easily mobilized, because there is not only one enemy on the continent, the Sky Empire.

Furthermore, in traditional land power countries, when they were still in a feudal state, local legions were all related to local interests.

That is to say, it is similar to the state of Guanning Iron Cavalry. In the late Ming Dynasty, this elite force that consumed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year in the Ming Dynasty had industries in the local area and could not be transferred to the interior of the country.

The Kingdom of Oshima is the same, and now it is facing a very complicated problem.

Iron Star broke through the famous "reinforced concrete fortress defense line" on the east side of the continent, and was severely weakened in the subsequent siege battle. The heavy armored forces sent by King Wind Whisper showed the strategic determination to fight with Anglo-Saxon, which made other forces in the Kingdom of Oshima extremely confused about "investing in this war".

What about this ally? Should we save it? Well, we should save it, but there is no need to be so active.

Even if the Kingdom of Oshima defeated Iron Star, it would still be difficult to interfere with the situation in the Sky Empire, and it would not be able to get compensation. Therefore, in the international bond market, Oshima's new round of war bonds is like waste paper.

For the Anglo-Saxon people who are good at calculating, it is better to let the corpse of the old ally resist more bullets than to spend money to save the old ally.

Iron Star's edge is so strong that Anglo-Saxon politicians also have the idea of ​​"waiting a while".

...Enma's mobile warfare has given traditional empires such as Anglo-Saxon and Oshima great discomfort, and the situation is no longer the same as before. …

Why, three years ago, everyone worked together to fight against the Sky Empire, and continued to fight for a hundred years? Because the Sky Empire wanted to push down the entire defense line, trying to defeat the entire Lightning Alliance and demand compensation. The purpose was to harm the common interests of the Lightning Alliance, so of course everyone could fight.

And three years ago, the Sky Empire could not fight this strategic encirclement and annihilation war of "cutting off one of its fingers".
