Chapter 8 The Enemy Helps Me Build a Pontoon Bridge

Saturday and Sunday were such a mess that Matsumoto almost pulled out all his hair. In order to leave enough buffer time to completely regain the initiative on the battlefield, Masamoto Matsumoto actually suppressed RB players from all over the country on Sunday and prevented them from moving. All the news units felt that this tactic was a bit unbelievable. It was obviously the most stressful three days, but they had to fight for two days and rest for one day. It was completely inconsistent with common sense.

RB players used this precious day to exercise crazily. They rearranged all the chaotic commands and strategic arrangements in various places. RB players from all over the country also used this time to familiarize themselves with the combat characteristics of all Chinese guilds in preparation for war. Find more effective ways to fight.

RB people are busy rectifying things, so of course we can’t just sit idle at home. The Great White Shark made several trips back and forth to transport more supplies to Japan. The Five Islands were all occupied in one go, and all participating guilds built cities on these islands. Of course our guild is no exception, but we did not want to be greedy and only built a large port city similar to a naval base. The name was Sunset City proposed by General Wu. We felt that it fit the current artistic conception and adopted this name.

The subsequent island construction belongs to island construction, and Fulcrum City, which is located at the forefront, is the top priority. Our people have added defense lines one after another and more dense and complex traps on the city. RB players have used reconnaissance skills in the distance to see the defense line outside Fulcrum City in the past few days, and their scalps are numb. The dense defense equipment really exceeds the standards of ordinary cities.

Nagasaki in front of Fulcrum City has now become a deserted city, and Isinger is hovering directly above Nagasaki. If rb players want to attack the fulcrum city, they must first cross Nagasaki, and we have deployed a large number of combat troops in the city. If they want to cross the city, be prepared to fight in the street with our people. Of course, when fighting in street fights, you have to pay attention to the big guy above you.

In any case, the teams on both sides had been adjusting for a whole day, and until early Tuesday morning, the armies of both sides still remained strangely silent. The rbnpc army had nothing to do after experiencing a disastrous defeat. The second wave of npc counterattacks that originally occurred in the early morning of Tuesday did not appear.

Several main leaders of our guild are gathering together for a meeting in Essinger's conference room. All the lay people were specially sent away. This is a high-level meeting, and laypeople are not allowed to observe it.

The wall directly in front of the conference room has been converted into a giant screen connected to a crystal communication machine. It is now considered a basic video conference center. At this time, what appeared on the screen was Ling Yuanchui, who we sent to rb to perform the task.

"What should RB do first in response to the recent abnormal situation?" Hongyue asked Xiaochui.

Xiaobuki shook his head in embarrassment: "This time, the various guilds in RB have reached a consensus. All scheduling was completed by Masa Matsumoto. We just followed the execution and had no idea of ​​their strategic intentions. All high-level meetings were It was carried out in secret. In order to avoid the action being leaked, Masamoto Matsumoto even issued the orders separately. Everyone only knew what they needed to do and didn't know anything about the superfluous things. Our little The guilds were ordered to concentrate on Hiroshima, but the specific reasons are not very clear.”

"Hiroshima? What are you doing there?"

"We don't know what we are going to Hiroshima for. Anyway, Masamoto Matsumoto's mobilization order requires us to concentrate on Hiroshima, and requires us to bring a large number of NPC troops there, and not to leave too many people behind in the city."

Rose frowned and said, "Matsumoto Masaru drained all RB's troops to concentrate on a decisive battle with us?"

Su Mei shook her head and said: "Theoretically speaking, the local numerical superiority between the Japanese and the Japanese is the key to victory. It is not impossible to gather troops for the final battle."

General Wu thought while thinking: "If I were the commander of the Japanese people, I would never attack all the troops at once. Doesn't it mean that there is no fighting skills in this way? The game is not as good as reality, and I understand now One point, the emphasis here is momentum. Overwhelming momentum is the most important resource. If you make good use of it, you can trample thousands of troops under your feet. But do the rb people really have momentum at present? Maybe their Enthusiasm is very high, but this and momentum are two different things. Our army has the initiative on the battlefield. And it has clearly shown that it has more powerful weapons. There is even this air base wrapped in fog that has been hidden. They should rush forward without any care. They definitely have something to do before they do this."

Eagle suddenly said to Vader: "As the commander of the NPC legion of our guild, what do you think?" The artificial intelligence of the game "Zero" has been unanimously recognized by the majority of players. In previous games, NPCs could only be killed or say a few repetitive words to you, but here, players began to seek the opinions of NPCs, because their suggestions were often very original.

When Wei Da heard the question from Eagle, he replied: "Actually, I don't know how to judge it myself. The current situation is very unclear. I thought the silence yesterday was caused by the mobilization of troops, but now it seems that is not the case at all. We can make guesses based on the only information we have. First, the other party plans to concentrate their efforts to capture our place in one go. Second, the concentration of force is an illusion. The other party has special channels to launch attacks and sneak attacks on us. Third, the other party is waiting. Something, or waiting for something. This may be a turning point or the intervention of a new force. From my personal point of view, the first one is unlikely, unless our opponent is an idiot. As for the last two, I really don't know what they are. "

Bai Ling slapped the table and said, "We need information!"

I looked at Woma: "Can Babel Tower see the situation in Hiroshima?"

Woma shook his head: "The Tower of Babel is not omnipotent. Hiroshima has been obscured by clouds recently, and it does not look like naturally formed clouds. It is probably artificially released. Even the power of the magic mirror cannot peek into the internal situation."

Shura Ziyi stood up immediately: "Then send the air force to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance. Unfortunately, let the army use a small force to break in for fire reconnaissance. Otherwise, let the navy support semi-offensive reconnaissance. In short, reconnaissance at all costs. We need intelligence."

"You don't have to go to so much trouble if you really want to conduct reconnaissance." Rose said, "Just let the Giant Mosquito Outpost go."

"Yes, how can such a good thing be wasted? We must start reconnaissance operations immediately."

I nodded: "Send the Giant Mosquito Outpost, along with the Mantis Clan's Iron Blade Castle and the Spider Clan's Spider Fortress. Provide cover when necessary."

"learn."

After the meeting, we summoned the lay people and held a larger meeting, but this time we avoided the unspeakable part. The new resolution came out soon. The take-off deck of the Essinger superstructure was busy, and three big guys were dispatching urgently.

Both Giant Mosquito Outpost and Iron Blade Fortress can fly. Although Spider Fortress cannot fly, its movement speed is definitely no slower than those that can fly. After the reconnaissance personnel and instruments were all ready, the three castles started up one after another. The huge eyes of the insect castle flashed red, and then the sound of metal friction was heard. Spider Fortress moved the fastest, pressing its body downwards. Then all eight legs straightened at the same time, and the body quickly rose up from the ground and jumped out. The Spider Fortress landed directly on the lower deck of Essinger for the first time, and once again he jumped out of Essinger's range.

The Japanese players and the news reporters who were observing our movements on the ground suddenly noticed a small cloud falling out of the cloud. This small cloud was different from what had appeared before. Instead of flying forward, it fell downwards in the second half of a high throwing curve. As this thing gets closer to the ground, its size becomes larger and larger. Suddenly the clouds around this guy were completely blown away by the airflow, and everyone saw this huge mechanical spider.

Many people in the audience who were sitting in front of the TV or computer watching the broadcast shouted: "Isn't this the big spider that appeared in country H?"

The Spider Fortress was completely exposed in the battle scene played some time ago where our guild supports players from Country H, and everyone has always maintained a high degree of attention to this huge mechanical spider. Now this thing suddenly appeared in rb. And it appeared from the mysterious cloud. This special situation immediately made everyone understand. This thing had been hiding in the cloud and waiting for an opportunity.

The gorgeous emblems composed of golden swords and crystal red roses on the abdomen and head of Spider Fortress were deliberately taken in close-ups by the camera players. Everyone knows that this is the symbol of our guild, and our guild is the only one in the whole game who spends so much. Money decorates your own coat of arms. Other guilds would just use brass covered with gold and inlaid with glass. Only our guild uses gold and crystal together. In some places, even high-grade magic crystals are used.

The close-up picture suddenly opened to give a panoramic view of the Spider Fortress, followed by a loud bang. The ground shook violently amid the flying smoke, and the lenses of the cameramen who were closer shook violently. The shocking scene of Spider Fortress' forced landing conquered all players. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door. Amateur players think the Spider Fortress landing posture is cool, but expert players see the tactical significance. The Spider Fortress can be forced to land directly from a high altitude in a free fall. This is not as simple as it looks cool, it represents a powerful surprise attack capability. What matters in airborne combat is speed. This thing can fall directly and strike the enemy suddenly without worrying about the enemy's anti-aircraft weapons. It is simply a killer of air defense positions.

Before those expert and lay players could recover from the shock, the Spider Fortress started moving again. He suddenly squatted down, then jumped up again, easily flying over a distance of more than 900 meters and landing again.

Some layman players couldn't help shouting: "This thing actually jumps and walks."

Another group of expert players who played with cannons said: "Damn, one jump can cover one kilometer, what a strong maneuverability! I guess no cannon can hit such a sensitive object. But with the size of this guy, small cannons may not be effective. !”

After the Spider Fortress landed, it jumped out of the city limits, and then disappeared after a few ups and downs. The cameraman behind kept pushing the camera until it was out of sight. Everyone in the game was frightened by the terrifyingly powerful maneuverability of this thing.

"Look up there. Something's coming out again." Someone yelled. Countless shots once again turned to the clouds facing the sky.

What appeared this time was the Giant Mosquito Outpost, but the size of this little guy was incomparable to that of the Spider Fortress. However, the wings vibrating at high speed allowed him to quickly reveal his true form. "A mosquito?" A strange feeling suddenly appeared in all the players' hearts.

The Giant Mosquito Outpost is not much larger than a large missile boat, but such a small thing shows unimaginable high speed. As soon as it appeared in the air, it flew straight out.

Compared to the Giant Mosquito Outpost, the appearance of the Iron Blade Fortress is much more spectacular. This big guy spread his wings and glided directly out of Isinger. The place where he landed was far away from Isinger, but he was almost at the Japanese position. Because of the appearance of the Spider Fortress and the Giant Mosquito Outpost, the Japanese were already prepared. A super-large heavy cannon was rolled out to intercept these big guys. Who knew that the Mantis Iron Blade Fortress actually rushed directly in front of it. Click. Two white lights flashed, and the Iron Blade Fortress used its two giant two-hundred-meter-long blade arms to perform a criss-cross slash on the super fortress cannon and then flew into the air and flew away. After the Iron Blade Fortress flew away, it took ten seconds for the cannon here to shatter into four main bodies and a pile of small fragments with a loud roar.

A reporter from a certain station stood in front of the player who was in charge of the camera and reported on this terrifying blow, which was shattered without any sloppiness. From this destructive effect, we can see how terrifyingly lethal this big mantis-like guy is. The giant cannon can be used as a fortress cannon against the city. One shot can blow away an entire section of the city wall. Unexpectedly, it was chopped into pieces along with the base.

The three castles headed northeast after leaving Essinger. RB players along the way tried to block them, but the air units had no offensive capabilities and could not defeat these flying things, and the units on the ground could not keep up with the speed. Although the only spider fortress cannot fly, the jumping and jumping method of movement is really too troublesome. There are almost no projectile weapons that can hit him directly. Even small-caliber rapid-fire weapons can hit the edge with more success, but for such a big thing, those things really don't have any ability. The effect is in vain.

The three moving castles moved very fast and arrived in Kitakyushu in a few hours. After crossing the Kanmon Strait, they will reach Honshu Island. After that, there will be no natural dangers that can stop them from moving forward. Masamoto Matsumoto reacted relatively quickly to this situation. He mobilized a large fleet to the Kanmon Strait in a short period of time to block it. Matsumoto Masaru and the others had carefully confirmed the characteristics of the three fortresses. The Giant Mosquito Outpost is small in size, fast in size and flexible in movement. But relatively speaking, the defense is low and cannot be beaten. Although the Iron Blade Fortress can fly, its flight distance is very short and it must land and take off again from time to time.

The Kanmon Strait is not very wide, but it is definitely not a small river. There is no way to jump across the Spider Fortress. The Giant Mosquito Outpost is too small to hang on to the Spider Fortress and fly. The Iron Blade Fortress is not bad in terms of size. Unfortunately, its flying ability is not high. It can fly across the strait by itself. It won’t work if you bring another one.

Reporters who knew the news once again gathered like flies on both sides of the Kanmon Strait to see if the Japanese interception operation was successful. Matsumoto Masaru congratulated himself on being full of confidence in the plan. He believed that the Giant Mosquito Outpost could be shot down with dense shotguns, but the Iron Blade Fortress had poor flying capabilities, so he took advantage of the fleet's powerful firepower to shoot him down in one fell swoop when he was over the strait and did not dare to maneuver to avoid maneuvering to fly across the strait. As for the Spider Fortress, this guy can't fly at all, can't jump far, and can't cross the strait at all.

At around 10:40 in the morning, the three castles finally approached the strait. To everyone's surprise, the two enclave castles were not the first to arrive. But the guy who can jump. The silhouettes of the Spider Fortress are particularly eye-catching. From afar, I saw this big guy jumping towards the strait.

"Target found." The lookout hand of the rb fleet discovered this big guy almost at the same time.

"Each battleship loaded armor-piercing bombs and waited for the order to fire." Shota Tanaka, who was in charge of the interception mission, gave such an order, and the captains of each battleship immediately complied with it.

The fleet assembled this time is one of the few remaining fleets in rb that is still decent. The naval battles in the past few days have hurt the navies on both sides, and now we don't have many warships. However, for his own Hiroshima plan, Masamoto Matsumoto reluctantly mobilized one of them here to intercept the attack of the three Zerg castles.

The entire fleet has more than 30 warships and over a thousand large and small artillery pieces. At least six hundred cannons can exert their power when firing in salvo, which is enough to cover a large area. The RBs knew that the Spider Fortress had a special way of moving and it was difficult to aim, so they did not intend to hit it directly. Instead, they used artillery fire coverage to cover all the approximate target points at once. At least a dozen will hit the target close to the ground. The rb people believe that this big guy will not be able to move quickly as long as it is injured, and it should be possible to destroy it by concentrating firepower at that time.

The reporters took out their game recording cameras to first take a panoramic view of the RB fleet, then take a close-up of the Spider Fortress, and then opened the panoramic view to see how the two sides would fight. Tanaka Shota had been resisting the urge to wait for the Spider Fortress to approach, waiting for the final blow, but the Spider Fortress continued to approach the strait as if it had not seen the fleet at all.

When he saw the Spider Fortress jumping closer to the strait, Tanaka Shota finally couldn't help shouting: "Fire."

boom. Pieces of cannonballs flew out like raindrops, quickly covering the position where the spider fortress that had just taken off was about to land. Tanaka Shota calculated the reaction time of his own people and the jumping pace of the spider fortress before calling the launch site. What he wanted was the chance that the spider fortress could not turn in mid-air. But it's a pity. These guys have poor association skills.

A white thing shot out from the tail of the Spider Fortress, directly hitting a large forest behind the Spider Fortress. The white thing turned out to be something like a solution, and it exploded as soon as it came into contact with the trees. A large piece of latex-like white substance spread rapidly and covered a large area of ​​trees. As soon as these liquid substances attached to the trees, they quickly solidified and turned into a soft, elastic substance with strong pulling force.

"Idiot, spiders can spin silk!" The operator of Spider Fortress couldn't help but cursed.

The white silk thread was quickly recovered, and the strong pulling force uprooted the small forest, but at the same time, the Spider Fortress also stopped advancing and flew back, landing further back than the starting point. The distance error was more than one kilometer, so of course it was impossible to hit. All the Japanese shells fell in the open space. Not a single shot hit.

Just when the Japanese were hurriedly loading the shells and preparing to fire again, the Spider Fortress took off again, and several landings had already reached the shore. Originally, everyone thought that Spider Fortress was going to stop here, but who knew that instead of stopping, he started to accelerate. When we arrived at the shore, the Spider Fortress suddenly jumped up and flew into the air, frightening several reporters standing on the embankment and falling into the sea. The huge spider fortress jumped directly over their heads. And his landing target is the sea.

"Could this guy know how to dive?" Reporters on the scene asked this question at the same time. But they soon found the answer themselves. Just now I was just taking pictures of the majestic Spider Fortress taking off. As soon as I opened the camera and pointed it at the sea, I saw the result immediately.

The reporters estimated that the location where the Spider Fortress would fall into the water was actually not sea water. The RB fleets on the sea were widely separated in order not to block their own bombardment. There happened to be a warship at the landing point of the Spider Fortress. "He wants to use battleships to step up!" the reporters shouted almost simultaneously.

boom! Bang! Bah! The eight legs of the Spider Fortress landed accurately on the not too big battleship. This small battleship couldn't bear such a heavy motive at all, and was stepped under the water. But Spider Fortress has an advantage, this guy has long legs. Although the battleship was stepped into the water, its buoyancy did not disappear, and the Spider Fortress could still use its strength. I saw Spider Fortress suddenly kicking down, and then its body left the water and flew up again. The battleship he used as a springboard immediately rushed to the bottom of the sea at an unimaginable speed.

The Spider Fortress takes off on a surface battleship. The battleship is no different than the land, it is not fixed. Therefore, the maximum take-off force cannot be achieved, which affects the jumping distance. But it doesn't matter, because there are many battleships nearby, and although the distance has been widened, it is only about 600 meters. Only two-thirds of the maximum jumping distance of the Spider Fortress is still within the jumpable range.

boom. There was another loud bang, this time it was a large cruiser. It's a pity that there are only a dozen large cruisers left in the whole country. This is great. Suddenly there was one less ship. With the weight of the Spider Fortress, even a battleship can barely carry it. What's more, the Spider Fortress is not just standing on it, it is jumping over. This impact is estimated to be enough to crush even the large battleships of our guild. After Spider Fortress found its foothold, it immediately took off and jumped towards the third target. The cruiser that had just been used as a springboard naturally changed its job to become a submarine. It’s hard for surface ships to get along these days! Or submarine safety.

After a few ups and downs in the Spider Fortress, seven or eight battleships were successfully converted into submarines. Shota Tanaka finally realized that if he didn't think of anything else, his fleet would become a pontoon, and it would be all at once. Spider Fortress is literally burning bridges across rivers. And it takes one piece apart step by step.

"Don't worry about accidental damage, fire for me!" Shota Tanaka almost yelled, and the loud voice made the signal flag bearer feel dizzy, but the flag bearer still quickly sent out the order.

The rb fleet immediately sounded a chaotic sound of shelling, and the shells flew over like raindrops. But what is very dramatic is that the Spider Fortress' stepping target at this time is Tanaka Shota's command ship Musashi. This is a battleship, and it is one of the last three battleships in the world. This time it can be regarded as being pulled out to fill the scene. I didn't expect that it would be used as a pontoon.

The Spider Fortress landed accurately on the Musashi's hull. The eight legs maintained stability very well, but the Musashi's turret was severely trampled. The Musashi is also lucky. It is large enough to carry the weight of the Spider Fortress, and the pedal on the Spider Fortress is too small to provide enough power, so it does not jump very far this time, so the impact is not great. He barely managed to stand still on the Musashi. But the Musashi was also unfortunate. The Spider Fortress did not step it to the bottom of the sea, but the Spider Fortress was the target of bombardment, and RB warships were aiming at him. Spider Fortress attracted a hail of bullets as soon as it landed on the Musashi. Spider Fortress immediately jumped to the next target to avoid the attack. The members of the Musashi who had narrowly escaped death were smashed into briquettes by a dense rain of bullets before they could rejoice that the Plague God had left. The huge Musashi sank straight into the sea without even a single person escaping. He was hit by four to five hundred rounds of armor-piercing incendiary bombs. If someone wants to escape, someone must survive!

The spider fortress leaving the Musashi continued jumping without stopping. After several consecutive ups and downs and sinking more than a dozen battleships, a large cruiser was found near the coast. This was a good foothold. Spider Fortress accurately landed on its rear. One guy stepped the tail of the battleship into the water, and then Spider Fortress climbed onto the bow and jumped to the other side. The poor battleship disappeared on the sea in an instant. However, the Spider Fortress failed to obtain the expected reaction force and failed to land at once, but this was not a big problem. Although it did not land on the shore, the landing point of the Spider Fortress was already very close to the coast. With the help of the eight long-legged spider fortress, he still managed to reach the not-too-deep seabed, and then climbed onto the coastal breakwater with another small jump.

Originally, everyone thought it was time for Spider Fortress to leave at this time. After all, he had already crossed the strait, and he just needed to keep moving forward. But no one expected that he suddenly sprayed out that white slime again, and this time the target was a battleship. The Spider Fortress is larger and more powerful than the battleship. The battleship was immediately pulled to the shore. Just when everyone was wondering what he was going to do, Spider Fortress suddenly tied the battleship into a big cocoon with silk thread.

Spiders, arthropods, have a strange way of eating. They don't eat meat directly. This creature likes to wrap its prey into a silk cocoon with its own silk, and then inject corrosive biodegradable enzymes into the prey to melt all the prey's body tissues into liquid, and then it will come back like Drinking juice sucks up all the liquid.

Although everyone knows about this habit of spiders, it is an animal spider. Although the Spider Fortress is the fortress of the Spider Clan, it should be a magical machine rather than a living thing. Why is it wrapping the warship in silk?

Just when everyone was confused, Spider Fortress had completed its work. He opened his mouth wide and bit into the cocoon. Many people noticed that a long needle was inserted into the cocoon, and reporters who were close to the ground heard the sound of liquid flowing. After completing this project, Spider Fortress quickly carried the cocoon on its back. Then he turned and ran. The reason for the sudden escape was that the RB battleship had already reacted and they were firing. The Spider Fortress decided to get out of the way after being hit by a few shots.

Reporters were very curious as to why Spider Fortress had to carry a big guy on its back to escape. The battleship was only slightly smaller than Spider Fortress, and it was quite difficult to carry it on its back. After carrying this thing on his back, he never jumped over the Spider Fortress again, but instead crawled on the ground.

Everyone was still looking at the retreating back of Spider Fortress when suddenly there was a roar above their heads, and then the green figure of Iron Blade Fortress quickly passed by at low altitude over the sea. When he flew far away, the battleships in the straight line he passed on the sea were Suddenly it split neatly into three parts and sank into the sea. As for the Giant Mosquito Outpost, this guy is not as easy to deal with as expected, because at this time he is waiting in front for the Spider Fortress and the Iron Blade Fortress to approach. Don't really think that the Spider Fortress is the first to arrive, the Giant Mosquito Outpost has actually been passed long ago. The ability of this giant mosquito outpost is not only reconnaissance, but also camouflage. This guy can change his color. When the giant mosquito outpost with camouflage colors in the sky flew high above the fleet, no one below noticed it.

Although the three fortresses had different methods, they all finally crossed the strait. Masamoto Matsumoto scolded Shota Tanaka who hung back and did not dare to raise his head for fear of being sprayed with spittle. At this time, far away in Iwakuni Castle near Hiroshima, reporters were witnessing a powerful special ability of the Spider Fortress.
