Chapter 612: Besieged City (IV)

How many wings are needed to block the sunlight.

The light cast by the sun is too strong, and nothing can block the glow from the stars.

Only when the planet turns to the other side, under the gray sky, can people see the light of another star from a distant world.

Starlight, the light from the distant stars.

But the sky in the dark area of ​​the sky island is not the "night" that appears when the earth turns to the dark side. It is composed of solid rock mountains and vines, and the heavy sky does not reveal any "starlight".

Looking up, you can only see the upside-down mountains and forests.

At this time, the sky is flashing with starlight, like fireflies rising in the night sky.

Spreading holy wings, wearing enchanted armor... "people".

The sharp air defense alarm swept across the entire fortress with the mechanical device pulled down, awakening every defense node on high alert, and the stationed infantry entered the defense facilities in a state of preparation.

The moment the Vatican army arrived at the front line, the fortress was kept on the highest alert for 24 hours.

They would not act according to the enemy's plan. The Vatican would fight the Vatican, and the coalition would fight the coalition.

To be practical, it is to pay attention to every tactical step of the enemy and complete the coalition's action goals.

When one side loses the strategic initiative and follows the actions of the other side every step, they are not far from the failure of the war.

Such a strategy will eventually become a battlefield fire brigade, and in the end, it will be found that there are raging fires everywhere.

Both sides use the resources in their hands to play cards, exchange resources, and formulate their own strategic plans.

After the heavy artillery bombardment, the Angel Air Assault Wing targeting the heavy artillery will be ushered in. The Vatican has gathered 1,500 holy soldiers and asked them to go forward to destroy the enemy artillery in the fortress.

This is a 100% suicide action, but even if it is suicide, the bishops want the holy army to destroy the heavy artillery of the fortress group.

After they were awakened and became holy soldiers, they were engraved with the patterns of the divine army by divine arts, and gained unprecedented powerful power, and their lives entered a three-month countdown.

Only loyal believers will get the opportunity to be promoted to the Holy Army. Ordinary people can also fight with the Templars after receiving the ceremony.

The coalition's fortress artillery opened fire, and the lords saw the fire. The Holy Army, which was ready to go, also followed the trail. They immediately confirmed the position of the heavy artillery in the fortress.

"It's time to be loyal to God. Destroy the enemy's heavy artillery, and He will guide our souls to heaven."

They shouted slogans, spread their wings, and entered a gliding state of fast sailing.

The 203mm heavy artillery used in the fortress was not equipped with corresponding gun shields and cement armor. Only a simple concrete artillery fortification position was specially designated.

Although the use of armored gun shields and cement armor will enhance survivability, heavy artillery requires a lot of sacrifices in shooting angles, turning speeds, and loading speeds.

At least the high and low shooting angles must be the same.

To use armored gun shields, it means that each fortress gun must be equipped with a mechanical steering machine, otherwise the turning speed will also be the same.

For experimental technical equipment that needs to replace parts frequently, they cannot use embedded structures, which makes maintenance very inconvenient.

In World War II, even if the gun crew was killed, as long as the gun body was not damaged, the next spare gun crew could rush up and fire again with heavy artillery after a simple inspection.

Even the 75mm field gun was not so fragile that it would be destroyed by close-range splashing.

The heavy artillery itself is extremely heavy and hard steel. As long as the gun barrel, main load-bearing and buffer mechanism are not destroyed, they can be repaired urgently.

Spell attacks and grenades are just tickling this monster. Only explosive packs and anti-tank grenade groups can cause serious damage to it.

So this batch of heavy artillery is almost placed in simple artillery fortifications, in a state of free firing.

"30 degrees north by east, enemy air force wing, all positions are ready to meet the enemy."

The anti-aircraft positions near the artillery positions began to raise the anti-aircraft guns and put the targets into the iron rings on the weapons for aiming.

The anti-aircraft positions are alternately equipped with 12.7mm water-cooled heavy machine gun teams and 20mm automatic gun teams. Like the close defense weapons on ships, they are responsible for the final stage of air defense interception.

After all, the enemies they face are basically flesh and blood, not the large steel monsters that dived down in World War II.

They only need to use high-density firepower to intercept high-speed enemy targets within 3km. Using large-caliber anti-aircraft weapons will lead to serious overflow of firepower.

As long as the enemy air force approaches the 3km close defense circle of the fortress, more than 300 small and medium-caliber automatic weapons from the 36 defense positions will pour bullets on the target.

Intercept the flexible flying infantry with a small bullet-receiving surface, the monster flying cavalry.

Or use the fire net to tear the infantry rushing to the front of the line into pieces, and smash the monster infantry and their armor into mud.

The appearance of automatic weapons and artillery officially ended the era of military formations. Since then, humans have been thinking about how to reduce their own operational organization so that each small organization under the large organization can work together to undertake combat tasks.

The light spots in the distance became more and more obvious in the glass lens. The holy army angels using divine magic to accelerate pulled out one track after another in the air. A full 1,500 flying infantrymen carrying siege weapons attacked the fortress.

The water-cooled heavy machine gun spewed out flames, tracer bullets drew conspicuous trajectories in the sky, and the 20mm automatic cannon fired fragmentation bullets in an orderly manner. The more dull sound of firing was interspersed between the sounds of the heavy machine gun firing.

One by one, brass shells were thrown out and fell to the ground.

The reflection was the light spots that kept falling in the sky.
