Chapter 181 Breakthrough

Under the threat of the super heavy artillery, the Japanese all hid under the city wall in order to escape the first round of bombardment. Their own artillery quickly entered the attack state and planned to fight with our super heavy artillery. However, what frustrated the Japanese was that What happened next completely exceeded their expectations.

"Elevation angle is sixty, fixed distance is thirty, prepare to fire." With a burst of order, all the barrels of the super cannons were raised, and behind the barrel was a huge one that looked like a small yacht. The shells are being pushed into the gun barrel with the assistance of several large machines, waiting for the firing command.

Before all the artillery on our side was ready, the Japanese artillery fired clouds of fire first. It was obvious that they fired before us. After all, small artillery also has the advantages of small artillery. At least it fired. The shooting speed is much faster. A few seconds later, with a whistling sound, artillery shells passed through our artillery positions and fell into the positions behind us. Small mushroom clouds instantly appeared on the battlefield. The Japanese cannons have all been replaced with magic crystal steam shells. Although the shells themselves are not large in size, their power is astonishing. Several gaps were missing in our neat battle formation in an instant, but the following troops soon The casualties were cleared out and the formation was restored to a complete state. This kind of artillery preparation before the war is inevitable. In the game, you can't find people to dig trenches a few days in advance like in reality. There is no good way except hard top.

Seeing the large number of troops on our side being bombarded, the Japanese observers couldn't help shouting with excitement. Then the Japanese players hiding under the city wall also shouted with joy. It was obviously the observers above who spread the news. The following is to boost everyone's morale, but their good mood can only go so far. Although the reloading of our guns is a little slow, no matter how slow it is, it will not be so slow that we can't fire a single shot in the time it takes them to fire two. Just as the Japanese were cheering for the results of their shelling, the shelling on our side also started.

As the six orange magic balls took off, all the heavy artillery emplacements immediately began to move. The people who were busy at the emplacements all jumped off the artillery carriage, ran to the back of the vehicle, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. Then there was a muffled sound, and everyone standing around the artillery truck felt their feet shake. The ground seemed to have sunk slightly due to the impact of the artillery truck, and when everyone regained their balance, the huge cannonball It had already flown over the Japanese city wall, but what happened next stunned people who didn't know it, because those shells did not fly over the city wall and then slam into the city wall, but opened up in the sky one after another. The blossoming umbrella flowers began to sway and slowly fell down.

"Eh? Why do Chinese artillery shells have parachutes?" The Japanese in the city were stunned when they saw the parachutes blooming like flowers in the sky, but soon they understood why our artillery shells were equipped with parachutes. After the parachute opened and the speed stabilized, the shells suddenly exploded in the sky. However, it was not the shells themselves that exploded, but the shells. The shells of all the cannonballs exploded to both sides, exposing the objects wrapped in the warheads. "Baga, it's a special cannon! We've been fooled! Go back to the city wall, quickly, quickly!"

Although the commander among the Japanese players yelled at the others to rush to the city wall, it was obviously too late to run back at this time. When the cannonballs hanging under the parachutes in the sky exploded, what was revealed was the guild's third-generation Mobile Angel, a new version of the Mobile Angel powered by magic crystal steam. The weight of these big guys is amazing, and even if they are attached to a parachute, their falling speed is not very slow. The real function of these parachutes is to keep the mobile angel's head upward when falling, rather than to actually slow down. We adjusted the flight angle when we first fired, so the height of the shell when it hit the city wall was not too exaggerated. With the structure of the mobile angel, even if it fell directly from this height, there would not necessarily be any problems. , not to mention that no matter how small the parachute is, it can always share part of the force, so it would be weird if it can still break.

When they were still a few meters high from the top of the city wall, the mobile angels cut off their parachutes and crashed directly onto the city wall. At this time, the fastest Japanese player had just climbed onto the city wall. The first mobile Angel to land turned towards the Japanese player who was rushing toward him as soon as it landed. Following its wrist flip, the mechanical arm retracted into its wrist, and a huge wolf-tooth sword slipped from the wrist with a clatter. came out, and then the Japanese player was stunned. The saw teeth on the wolf sword that was larger than others actually started to move. Soon the high-speed moving saw teeth were completely connected. If you don't pay attention, I thought the blade of that giant sword was smooth. Of course, the Japanese player standing in front of it knew the situation of this thing very well. After all, the constantly vibrating sword body and the huge friction sound reminded him all the time that it was not an ordinary sword. This thing was simply a chain saw. And it's the kind specially used for cutting stones.

In the frightened eyes of the Japanese player, the Mobile Angel rushed straight in front of him without any pause, then raised his sword and lowered it, cutting the guy's upper body in half with his knife, and then followed. When the guy was completely dead, the Mobile Angel took a step forward and blocked the stairs of the city. The Japanese players who rushed up later had no power to fight back in front of such a behemoth, and they were all chopped down to the ground one by one with a sword. , the blood soon followed the slope to the stairs, making the entire passage to the city extremely slippery. It became increasingly difficult for those who rushed up to move, but they had to rush up. After all, there were all obstacles outside the city. The enemy, but none of them are on the city wall. How can they defend this city?

After a small number of Mobile Angels were separated to block the intersection, the remaining Mobile Angels began to run towards the various city defense forts connected to the city wall. At this time, the Japanese players on the forts had also noticed the movements of the Mobile Angels, and they were somewhat clever. The people in charge quickly began to turn the fort and aimed at the connection point between the city wall and the fort, intending to rely on artillery to block the passage. After all, the passage was only so wide. As long as the cannon was flattened, the passage could be completely blocked, unless the opponent relied on speed to take advantage of them. Rush over while changing shells, otherwise don't even think about getting close to the fort.

it is a pity. The Japanese players had a good idea, but their intelligence failed to keep up. When they worked hard to level the muzzle and aim at the connecting channel, they found that the mobile Angel rushing to the other end of the channel suddenly stopped, and then a pair of wings suddenly popped up from the back of one of the mobile Angels, and then they saw that The mobile angel squatted down slightly, and then jumped upwards with the sudden burst of flames from behind. The steel giant-like mobile angel suddenly jumped up to a height of more than ten meters, and then hit the gun behind the turret with a bang. On the operating table. The personnel who were operating the artillery found that the target suddenly jumped from the front of the muzzle to behind them. They were so frightened that they rolled down from the operating position and started to run away. They were all operating weapons. non-combatants, not to mention super killers like Mobile Angel, even an ordinary player can kill them all like chopping melons and vegetables. Resistance is meaningless at all, but after running for a while, they discovered that Mobile Angel Instead of catching up, he stopped at the door of the turret, raised his hand and fired a small rocket into the turret, and then saw it suddenly spread its wings and flew up. Before the player could figure out why the Mobile Angel suddenly ran away, there was a loud bang and the entire turret was lifted up by a huge fireball. All the operators who were running slowly nearby were thrown off by the shock wave. He fell over the city wall and lost his life or death.

After quickly pulling out all the defensive forts, except for the mobile angels guarding the passage, other mobile angels took off and flew towards the independent forts in the city. Originally, because they knew that our guild's air force was powerful, the Japanese also prepared anti-aircraft weapons in the city, but what they didn't expect was that our Mobile Angels did not fly into the city by themselves, but directly fired in with cannons, and theirs Anti-aircraft weapons were never thought to be needed for defense in the city, so most of them were deployed near the city walls. As a result, almost all of them were wiped out in the first round of strikes. Although the several air defense points inside the city still have some defensive power, the mobile angels are all injected with artificial souls, so they are not rigid in intelligence. After discovering the anti-aircraft weapons, they immediately changed to approach at low altitude along the city streets. Japan Human anti-aircraft weapons can only shoot horizontally at best. There is nothing they can do against the mobile Angels flying close to the ground on the streets. Because the height of the streets is lower than their forts, the anti-aircraft weapons have no angle to aim at. .

The mobile angels who successfully approached the fort in the city did not bother with them. They popped out small magic crystal steam missiles from their wrists and fired them into the fort, blasting them all into the sky.

Looking at the fireballs rising in the city, the Japanese players and our players were in completely different moods. The Japanese players' eyes were red with anxiety but there was nothing they could do. The mobile angels on the city wall were too strong and the stairs were too narrow. Players who don't have a numerical advantage can't defeat the mobile angels at all, but compared with the city, it's pretty good here. At least they can still attack. Those mobile angels who rush into the city don't stop at all, relying on their mobility. Qiangqiang was running around in the city, specifically targeting their defense nodes. The suppression team composed of Japanese players could only turn into a fire brigade to follow behind them to put out the fire. As for the mobile angels, they only You can just see the tail flames when they leave.

"Is it almost done?" Feng Yinpiaomiao, who was standing on the command podium, looked at the flames rising in the city and turned to ask me.

I glanced at the crystal communication machine next to me, which was displaying a huge battlefield map. At this time, a large number of red circles highlighted on the map were turning into red crosses one by one, and each cross represented A turret or defensive node. Because the Japanese know that they cannot win this time, their strategic goal is to give us a clear victory and defeat and consume as much of our troops as possible. Based on this idea, the Japanese adjusted their defense strategy to a mode of continuous resistance. There are blocking lines and various defense points everywhere in the city. Even if we knock down the city wall and enter the city, they can still use these defense points to continuously consume us. With our effective strength, even if we can capture the city in the end, the losses will be terrible. However, they did not expect that we had already guessed their intentions, so before the battle began, I authorized the God of War to use the scanning function of the Tower of Babel to scan out the defense status of the three cities and draw a map. Now we The mobile angels carry out targeted clearing of these key nodes under the command of the God of War. Although the Japanese built so many defense nodes, they did not arrange guard troops at the nodes from the beginning. After all, the pressure on the city wall was the greatest at the beginning, so they sent people to the city wall, planning to wait until the city wall could no longer be defended before letting the troops use it. These defense points were retreated piece by piece, so now these nodes are basically empty except for a few guards. The mobile angels attacked and removed most of the nodes without encountering any decent resistance. .

Seeing that the red cross representing target clearance now occupied more than half of the marked points on the map, I nodded and said, "Let's get started."

"Send the order to start the artillery bombardment. Each artillery position should pay attention to the signal given by the military god, and don't kill our own mobile angels!"

After receiving the order, all the previous special-mounted guns suddenly folded up and began to retreat. However, from behind our battle formation, a large row of artillery pieces that were much smaller than the mounted guns was launched. Of course, they were only smaller than the mounted guns. , the actual caliber is still very large. These artillery did not wait for orders after being in position, and began to fire freely. However, before each launch, they had to report their launch data through a small crystal communicator. Singer's military god used this information to constantly calculate the impact point of the artillery shells, and while helping each artillery position correct the firepower, he directed the mobile angels to avoid his own artillery shells. Under the terrifying battlefield calculations of the God of War, although our shelling was unusually intensive, miraculously not a single Mobile Angel was hit by our own artillery fire. Instead, many Mobile Angels used the cover of shelling to break through the Japanese players. The formed defense line began a close-quarters massacre.

"Hurry, hurry, rush to the city wall, the Chinese have begun to prepare firepower, they are about to attack!" Nobunaga Ghost Hands ordered loudly in his headquarters, and the messengers also passed the orders truthfully, but on the front line However, the commander had trouble saying that the Mobile Angel in front of him was blocking the passage to the city. He had many people under his command, but only three or four of them could fight against the Mobile Angel every time. Those big guys were one They are all like giants. A single thrust of the sword will block the entire passage. No matter how many people there are, they will not be able to rush forward. Some frontline commanders have tried to use mages to cooperate with magic archers who have explosive skills, but the effect is minimal. Although a few Mobile Angels are occasionally destroyed, the gap will soon be filled by the Mobile Angels behind them, and these guys also have magic crystal steam weapons. If they are really desperate, they will start to shoot with full firepower without restrictions. The Japanese players' chances to save their lives were defeated again and again by this kind of indiscriminate firepower. What's worse is that after the fire attack started, they discovered that some mobile angels would request artillery support. Whenever the Japanese players were about to break through the obstruction, a large number of artillery shells would fly from nowhere and wash the entire stairs. It was not easy. The results of the establishment were instantly knocked back to the starting point by shelling, which made the Japanese players want to die.

When the Japanese players were feeling depressed, the guild presidents on our side were also sighing. Yanyu looked at the images sent back by the reconnaissance mosquitoes at the Giant Mosquito Outpost and exclaimed: "Damn it, Ziri and your guild's bombardment are so accurate. You can actually cover such a narrow passage with firepower. You are not afraid of being bombarded." The mobile angel up there?”

Hongyue said proudly: "It's not called artillery support if it can hit it, it's called fire coverage. Ours is called precise battlefield interception. We hit wherever we want. If I say I hit your kitchen, I will never touch your living room. Otherwise, why are our artillery twice as expensive as others'? The price is already higher than this. As long as you can tell me the precise location of your own people, we will dare to bombard them even if the soldiers from both sides are mixed together."

"Awesome, the research funding of hundreds of millions of crystal coins every month is indeed not wasted."

Feng Yin Piaomiao couldn't help but ask: "How long will this bombardment last? We have already fired out tens of millions of crystal coins in this moment. We can't stand it if we keep bombarding like this!"

"You can stop the bombardment when you see the signal from the Mobile Angel."

"Signal?"

Feng Yin Piaomiao was about to ask more questions when she saw me suddenly shouting: "Success, the troops are ordered to start charging." Feng Yin Piaomiao heard my voice and quickly looked towards the opposite city. He immediately became excited when he saw it. Get up, because the other side's city gate has opened.

"You've been waiting for this for a long time! Haha, the city gates are open. Let's see how they guard this time. Send the order to attack."

The commander on the artillery position in front of the battle formation shouted loudly: "Add one to the elevation angle and start extending the firepower."

Rows of artillery began to raise their muzzles, and the impact point inside the city clearly left the city wall and pushed toward the core of the city. Outside the city, our army finally started moving again, but what everyone saw was not the heavy shield bearer holding the top of the shield. In contrast to the image of the opponent's arrows slowly moving forward, the battle formation on our side was in chaos almost instantly, and everyone almost relaxed their pace and started to rush forward. The mobile angels completely blocked the opponent's city wall and cleared away the defensive weapons. At this time, the formation was meaningless. Rushing to the city as quickly as possible was the most important thing. Advancing in formation was a waste of time. Of course, it was not the infantry that moved fastest, but the air force taking off from the rear. The Pegasus Legion of our guild is not a good-looking display. After flying over everyone's heads, the Pegasus began to release their speed and rushed forward. Soon the first NPC unit of the Heavenly Soldiers successfully landed on the city wall, and then they put down The mages and archers sitting behind them turned around and headed back to the outside of the city to pick up the second group of people. The mages and archers who had just been put down quickly rushed to the city wall. The mages began to throw magic at the densest places without looking, while the archers squatted behind the mobile angels guarding the stairs and began to shoot down the densely packed people on the stairs one by one. ladder. The stairs on the city wall are all straight, with nothing to block them in the middle. The stairs themselves are narrow, and there are so many people nearby. There is no place to hide, so you can only hold on and be 'shot' down the stairs one by one. .

Looking at the battlefield situation in front of him, Nobunaga's eyes almost popped out of his head, but there was nothing he could do. Originally, when the mobile angels blocked the exit of the city wall, they planned to use magic crystal steam weapons to blow down the mobile angels. However, for some reason, all the magic crystal steam weapons lost their explosiveness. No matter how they were triggered, they would not explode. Originally, The extremely dangerous magic crystal steam bomb seemed to turn into stone in an instant. After the failure of these magic crystal steam weapons, Ghost Hand Nobunaga felt that he had been completely fooled today. The attack method of Mobile Angel clearly showed that we had mastered the production method of magic crystal steam weapons, and the failure of their magic crystal steam weapons also showed that We have found a way to limit magic crystal steam weapons. In the absence of sufficient firepower to suppress the mobile angels on the city wall, Nobunaga can only let the players and NPCs below use their lives to pile up. However, the stairs on the city wall are only so wide, and no matter how many people there are, they can only line up obediently. The team rushes upward. Some people who can fly have considered climbing up from other places, but the rapid-fire magic crystal cannon equipped on the Mobile Angel is simply a professional anti-aircraft weapon. Anyone who dares to fly will be blown up in the air. In the end, everyone would rather squeeze the city wall than fly up the city wall again.

Seeing that the battle situation was completely out of control and developing in an increasingly unfavorable direction, Ghost Hand Nobunaga finally made a relatively wise decision. "Abandon the city wall and the first and second lines of defense, and order everyone to withdraw directly to the third line of defense to reorganize the defense line."

"What? President, how can you...!"

A Japanese player was stopped by Ghost Hand Nobunaga just as he was about to refute. "Needless to say, the city wall is now a meat grinder. No matter how many people we use, we can't fill this hole. The defense points on the first and second lines of defense have been almost destroyed. There is no point in retreating to the top. It is better to retreat directly. To the third line of defense. At least we can regroup during the break from contact. Now we are not fighting the Chinese at all, we are being massacred!"

The member originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it he had no choice but to go out and deliver the order. After receiving the order, the Japanese players left a small number of troops to block the pursuit of the Mobile Angels, while the large troops quickly withdrew towards the third line of defense. At first, some players couldn't figure out why they had to abandon the first and second lines of defense and retreat directly to the third line of defense when the city wall could no longer be defended. However, after they withdrew to the first line of defense, they understood what the above order was about. Looking at the wreckage all over the first line of defense and the half-battered fort, everyone knew that this place could not be defended, and the second line of defense behind it was obviously not much better than the first line of defense. Relatively speaking, although the third line of defense is a bit poor, at least there are still usable forts and fortresses, which is better than fighting the Chinese directly on the street.

Due to Japan's active retreat, our troops rushed into the city without encountering any resistance. However, I did not let them rush over in one go, but stopped the charging troops. In the past, everyone was asked to speed up and approach the city because they were afraid that something might happen over time. Now that the Japanese have broken away from our troops, it is better to stop and adjust the battle formation.

Unlike the battle outside the city, the battle formation cannot be set up on the streets of the city. At this time, the most suitable vanguards are not cannon fodder-type soldiers, but elite senior combatants.

On the city wall, I moved my wrists and said to Feng Yin Piaomiao and the others, "How are you doing? Are you interested in going to the front with me to try your skills?"
