Chapter 99: The Road to Killing
"Fire!"
Boom!
But before Pierre walked far, the sound of the mortar soon made him laugh, and then he quickly walked to the vicinity of the mortar.
Gunner A: "Do you know how to use it? Adjust the scale a little higher!"
Gunner B: "I'm not a professional, it's good enough that I can use it. If they hadn't let Heimao pretend to be dead and blow himself up, would we have to do it ourselves?"
Pierre heard the conversation between the two Japanese gunners and saw that not far away, about 40 meters away, there was a building with only one floor left with extremely dense bullet holes and blasting marks. He knew that the two gunners were definitely not professional soldiers.
Especially next to them, there was a black-haired dog-headed man with only his head left, and several lifeless remains of soldiers, which was enough to explain what was going on.
Pierre: "You two, stop wasting shells. Especially since you are using 81mm mortars, not small-caliber 60mm mortars."
Obviously, Pierre saw at a glance that these two were escaped prisoners of war and did not know how to use mortars to attack.
But think about it carefully, using mortars to demolish houses...how can mortars be used?
The Dark Elf, who taught the Japanese to do this, did not often use their own mortars in this way. Moreover, they have a self-propelled artillery called a mortar-howitzer, which is their versatile weapon for attacking and killing.
However, the caliber of this gun is 120mm, not the 81mm caliber that is more commonly used by infantry and is very powerful. Not to mention the accuracy, the 120mm caliber mortar-howitzer of the Dark Elf is a complete rear-loading gun, not the front-loading mortar of the same caliber on the side of the Krurod Empire.
Anyway, Pierre and his team, who knew the situation, continued to call the armored transport vehicle that had just helped collect the remains of their comrades, and then cleaned up the fallen companions, and took away the two unprofessional and completely unskilled militia prisoners.
Therefore, Pierre naturally made good use of the power of the mortar.
At the same time, Kash, who had found a place in the city to establish a front-line command center, also began to carry out the final encirclement and suppression of the enemy forces in the city. And what surprised him, but not unexpectedly, was that a large amount of Akitsu Empire military supplies were left in the city.
Cash: "Wave energy rifle, cutting gun, light missile launcher, flying backpack, energy bow... What is this metal hat used for? There are wires on the back?"
Guillermo: "According to the soldiers, it is used to quickly dig a single-soldier shelter. As long as the switch is turned on, this large umbrella-shaped hat that can completely cover a soldier's body can emit strong energy rays, and hollow out the ground under the feet to form a single-soldier shelter suitable for soldiers to crouch in."
Cash: "No wonder some of our soldiers were ambushed and buried alive or crushed to death by pig-headed people who blew up the houses next to them."
Guillermo: "And... it seems that the number of prisoners we rescued is a bit small..."
Cash: "A lot less, we have to wait for statistics to know. But before that, we must take the city and never allow any pig-headed people or black-haired dog-headed people to escape. At the same time, if possible, seize their supplies first to prevent them from destroying them. I believe in your majesty, he must have some new inventions."
Speaking of your majesty, Cash himself has a certain admiration. Don't be fooled by your immature appearance. Without your invention, how could he have enough infantry weapons to fight in the street battles after the siege? How could every soldier have at least two guns?
Of course, some scouts and assault soldiers, as well as special forces, are guys with three guns (two long guns and one short gun).
And Kashna is increasingly aware of one thing, street fighting with mortars and without mortars are two completely different situations.
At the same time, he himself is also glad that the pig-headed people do not attach importance to mortars. According to the information reported by the soldiers below, the pig-headed people prefer to fight street battles with hand-to-hand combat or bury mines under corpses to kill themselves.
He is not worried about the former, unless it is a soldier who can do magic, but he now has a shaman with the army, and a certain number of shooters who carry 11×67mm rifle bullets and special semi-automatic sniper rifles to solve this problem.
What's more, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, they are not without bayonets. Moreover, in street fighting, the Japanese have hunting rifles that can quickly knock down various prey at close range.
As for the latter...
To be honest, this is very annoying to everyone. If the goblins hadn't gone up to deal with it, the soldiers would have almost had a collective psychological shadow.
Even if some soldiers are smart now, they will treat the enemy corpses lying on the ground motionless by shooting the head of the corpse, and then use a long pole to push and pull the corpse or hook weapons and equipment to ensure safety.
But how to say it?
Uncomfortable.
And disgusting.
The pig-headed people have a kind of tenacity, a kind of tenacity that can definitely be called unyielding.
In addition, their homeland is similar to the Krurod Empire, and it is also a country formed by islands. Therefore, these guys who have also established an imperial ruling system have a kind of contempt for the weak, and even believe that the weak are not qualified to consume too many resources, and must unconditionally hand over the "excess" resources to the country.
So this is also the fundamental reason why the pig-headed people like to enslave the weak and do not hesitate to send the captives they capture into places like biochemical reactors to provide electricity and maintain the production of surrounding facilities.
Of course, if there were no facilities such as biochemical reactors, the experience of a soldier named Pierre among his men would probably be the end of many Japanese and Mai people.
The Pig-Headed Concentration Camp is not a hotel at a tourist attraction. The remains of prisoners of war who were tortured to death were once "seaweed" in the form of floating objects that blocked the waterway in the western waters of Apo Island.
This is why Pierre implemented various methods of killing without mercy in dealing with the pig-headed people.
In short, Cash shook his head. Listening to the sound of gunfire in the city becoming less and less frequent, and not as frequent as before, he began to think about how to get Apo Island back into business as soon as possible.
After all, there are two large islands in the Northern Province, and the situation on the two large islands is even worse than Apo Island.
Especially the pig-headed army will only be more, not less.
To do this, he needs to rethink how he formulates strategy. And in order to prevent the Akitsu Empire from counterattacking, he had to prepare a sufficient number of troops to counter the invasion.
If possible, he'd better have more bombers here.
Which means he needs help from the Air Force.
If you want to cut off the incoming claws as quickly as possible, the best way is to use the air force's sharp strike.
I wonder if the domestic air force has already equipped it with new types of weapons?
Compared to Cash's doubts, Pierre had wiped out all the pig-headed people in another neighborhood, except for the two black-haired kobolds who were kneeling on the ground and were so scared that they raised their hands high and did not dare to move. of prisoners.
Merlin: "Pierre."
Pierre: "I know."
Although Pierre is now eager to give these two things a head-exploding blow, he has to follow the order and keep these two guys under guard until they are transported to the designated area collectively, and let the Takagi Kingdom pay for the ransom of the prisoners. .
After all, no matter what, the Takagi Kingdom cannot completely abandon its captives. Otherwise, the current regime of the Takagi Kingdom will surely be destroyed by the rebel forces who are more willing to pay to ransom prisoners.
Moreover, most of these black-haired prisoners themselves were unwilling to serve as cannon fodder for the Akitsu Empire. There were even some soldiers and civilians who took advantage of the chaos in the city and shot the pig-headed men in the back of the head multiple times, openly and indiscriminately murdering the pig-headed soldiers and civilians.
However, Pierre himself never believed that these black hairs had any "good" performance, especially since at least 60% of the scars on his body came from the "gift" of the black hairs' repeated whipping with whips...
