Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1198 Chapter 1199
Imagine the mood of the orc troops: they have seen all kinds of weapons they have used on the battlefield, and they used these rags to smash against the iron wall of Qin's Western Wall Fortress.

That was the first time they saw what "quick guns" were. At that time, they were beaten into disgrace by the breech-loading guns, and they were in a state of embarrassment without armor and armor, but they didn't get an inch of land.

Later, the orcs holding Cyric flintlock guns gradually heard that there was a human "company" called Datang Group, which developed a series of new weapons, and stepped Cyric, the former arms leader, on the ground. down.

Later, the story became familiar to everyone.They got the support of the Tang Empire, and then through the slave trade, they obtained the real sense of... modernization.

Hmm... Maybe we should be more modest. They are just walking on the road of modernization. As for whether they have just started from the starting point or have almost finished the journey, no one knows.

The ancient 75 cannon is not just a problem of short range. In fact, its shell has a thick shell due to processing, the explosion effect is not good, and its power is actually very limited.

In the past, when flowering bullets were compared with solid bullets, the power of the explosion was shocking, and it could indeed have a good effect. However, with the advancement of technology in various countries, this kind of explosion is almost like a pediatric.

Today's 155mm caliber shells are basically a crater of more than ten meters in one shot, and the damage radius of the explosion can reach hundreds of meters.Compared with this small steel cannon, its power is many times greater.

Mirage actually knew about this kind of thing, but they really had no other better way.If someone chooses, they also want to be a good person... No, if someone chooses, they also want to use advanced weapons.

In order to arm civilians, flintlocks and even axes and shovels have become weapons, bayonets are good things, and there are even wooden poles that have been ground into spikes.

Some daggers and spikes made of shrapnel have appeared on the battlefield. When the Mirage Army uses these things, it has a sense of sight of the end of the world.

Combined with the collapsed houses around them and the cracked walls, the scene is simply a beautiful moment that directors of end-apocalyptic movies would never have imagined.

After the battle of the South Island, the battle of the new island, the battle of the southwest of the main island, and the battle of the central part of the main island, the overall combat effectiveness of the mirage army has actually been continuously declining.

This is actually very easy to understand. The loss of the mirage army is really too great, and a large number of experienced veterans were killed on the battlefield by encirclement and annihilation.They can't bring their valuable experience back to the army, and the remaining troops can't improve their combat literacy.

Under such circumstances, the mirage army can hardly improve its experience, and the training of the troops is getting worse and worse. The untrained troops are eager to replenish and consume on the battlefield. It is only natural that the overall combat effectiveness will decrease.

Originally, this is a vicious circle. The loss of troops requires a lot of replenishment, and the combat effectiveness of the supplementary recruits is not enough, and the loss is even greater, so more and worse recruits can only be recruited.

Replenishment of recruits is a slow death. If you don't replenish the front line, you will collapse directly. No matter what, you are dead. The logic is closed.

"It's okay to reinforce some troops, our company is almost wiped out." The soldier who came to ask for reinforcements begged bitterly.

When he came out, the company commander asked him to bring back some reinforcements in a pleading tone, otherwise his position would not be able to hold.

He also promised his company commander that he must bring some reinforcements back.

Obviously, his battalion commander couldn't help him any more.The battalion commander said helplessly: "Look at what's going on! My battalion headquarters is about to become the front line. Where will the troops come to support you? Huh?"

What the battalion commander said is also true. In the current battle situation, he really cannot do without manpower here.If we deploy more troops, it will be even more dangerous to lose the main position.

The soldier who came to ask for support was also in a hurry. He grabbed the battalion commander's arm and continued to plead with tears: "Battalion commander! Two! You can let me take two people back!"

"..." The battalion commander looked at his subordinates and had no other choice. He shouted to three soldiers who were firing not far away: "You three! Follow him back! Help the 2nd company! Go! "

Asked for two and gave three, he felt that he had done his best.The three soldiers heard the order, put down their rifles, and followed the soldier to run along the ruins to the position of the 2nd company in the distance.

Here, the 75 mountain artillery beside the battalion commander is still firing, but the shells it fires are not as powerful as the 80 mortars commonly equipped by orc troops.

The goblins have nothing to do here, they don't have so many advanced mortars, so they found such a mountain cannon to use as support firepower for the battalion.

If it is placed in an ordinary army, this artillery should be placed in the infantry regiment, or even the artillery team directly under the infantry division!That's a good thing!
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. When the Mirage troops are struggling to support under the pressure of the orc troops, the orc bombers rushed to the battlefield.

These seemingly outdated bombers seem to have exerted their residual heat on the battlefield of Mirage: the short flower-house-style nose and huge propellers on both sides have become the signature appearance of the Junkers 88 bomber.

Junker bombers loaded with bombs took off from the airfield near Dingcheng, and could easily reach Mirage, and then dropped the fully loaded bombs.

Because the distance is too short, the range can no longer restrict the Junker bomber.It can be fully loaded with ease, dropping bomb after row upon row of mirages.

For the soldiers of Mirage, this was not good news: the raindrops of aerial bombs fell from the sky and hit them densely on their heads. It felt really sour.

The accompanying earthquake and mountain shaking forced all mirage troops on the ground to curl up, hold their breath, and wait for the disaster to pass quickly.

The originally weak building swayed and collapsed amidst the sound of the explosion, stirring up dust all over the sky and engulfing everything around it.

The battle had to be suspended because of the bombing, and soldiers on both sides were waiting for these damn planes to get away.

The communication between the army and the air force is sometimes so sloppy, the orc army doesn't even know that at this time today, the air force actually has a damn bombing of this scale!
The little grains of sand on the ground were bouncing from the blast, and those damn bombs went on and on, like they were going to wipe entire cities off the map.

The power of an aerial bomb is much greater than that of a shell of the same size and weight, because the aerial bomb does not need to rely on a hard shell to accelerate the rotation in the barrel.

Therefore, these aerial bombs can add a lot of charges, so that when they explode, they will be more authentic.

Although the raindrops of aerial bombs gradually receded, and the orc bombers had already flown to the center of Mirage City, the battlefield on the edge of the city remained silent.

Everyone needs time to slow down and let the shock just fade away from their minds.This kind of statement belongs to the spiritual level, and the physical level is much more straightforward: there is no way to fight if the smoke is too big.

Collapsing buildings and exploding aerial bombs will kick up dust, and the battle will resume only after these choking things floating in the air dissipate.

However, the bomb just now really caused chaos in the rear of the Mirage Army. Some newly established headquarters were destroyed, and some distribution sites were buried or blown up.

In short, it takes time to recover and requires a lot of manpower.At this time, if you get a few civilians to help clean up a collapsed building, they will probably steal everything buried inside.

Whatever it is, military stuff is a good thing: anything but high-caliber shells is now considered a good thing by civilians.

arms?Keep the bullets and guns for your own use, which can give you a sense of security in the chaotic battlefield.Hand grenades and all weapons that are easily concealed can save lives in critical moments, so pistols, grenades, bayonets and the like are very popular among civilians.

On the other hand, it goes without saying that rice, flour, and food are also very precious, as are clothes and military supplies: the weather is getting colder, a pair of leather shoes, and a few pieces of clothing, no matter how thin they are, can be used to keep out the cold, right?

If you are lucky and can find medicines while cleaning up the ruins, you will really make a fortune: these medicines can really save lives at critical moments, and they are truly "price ratio gold"!
The smoke gradually began to fade, and the frontline troops of the Mirage Army began to get nervous: because they had just experienced bombing, some ammunition deliverers had not arrived, and some reinforcements had not arrived...they themselves did not know what was wrong in the rear.

The orc army was different. A large number of soldiers got up from the ground cursing, and then sent the accidentally injured soldiers back to the starting position, and the rest would continue to attack soon.

This kind of bombing accuracy is impossible without accidental injury, so the Army has a lot of resentment towards the Air Force pilots.They are eager for air support, but are annoyed by their frequent complaints about eating bombs dropped by their own planes.

"Tu-Tu-Tu-Tu-Tu-Tu-Tu!" The voice of the tearing machine appeared again, tracer bullets shuttled through the turbid air, densely packed M35 helmets crossed the street full of bomb craters under the cover of the barrage, and began to attack the small highland piled up with rugged ruins .

The mirage soldiers on the high ground began to fight back, and the clear gunshots from the Cyric 1 rifles began to echo, and the orcs fell down from time to time, but soon the soldiers with steel helmets rushed into the mirage's defense line.

The shouts of bayonets came and went, followed by some Mirage soldiers shouting the slogan "Long Live the Mirage", holding grenades and rushing out of the trenches to strangle with the orc troops.

Explosions resounded through the sky, and the orc troops finally began to retreat.The mirage army finally held their position, but paid a heavy price.

In fact, this is the real battlefield, and not every attack will gain something.In fact, most attempts will fail, because the opponent is not a target that will not fight back.

On the ground that gradually fell silent, three mirage soldiers walked along the twisted natural tunnel.The leader was the signal soldier who went to the battalion headquarters for help just before the bombing.

Carrying his own Cyric 1 rifle, he carefully avoided the corpses of the mirage army on the ground and the corpses of some orc soldiers.

The two people following behind said nothing, the bombing just now cost them a comrade in arms while walking on the road.The other party was also unlucky, a brick flew from nowhere and hit him in the head.

It should be fine, but he doesn't have a helmet...

The steel helmets that were more common in the past have become a rarity in the mirage army, and only officers can guarantee that all members will wear them.As for the soldiers, probably only half of them can be distributed with such good things.

The other half could only make do with a cloth military cap, and in case of shelling or bombing, a high death rate became inevitable.

The remaining soldiers of the mirage army on the ground stared blankly at the "reinforcement" who had arrived, not knowing whether they would survive until dinner time.

That's right, now their greatest comfort is the stuttering.This stutter is what soldiers are for, because without this stutter, they would have starved to death a few days ago.

Several officers were collecting various bullets from the corpse. If they were lucky, they could pick up a Thomson submachine gun from the orc's corpse, as well as a relatively sufficient number of bullets.

This process is very risky, because there are orc sharpshooters who will attack the goblins who clean up the battlefield. The safest thing is to find the weapons of the orc corpses in the bunker, but not all weapons are very useful.

In fact, when it comes to rifles alone, there is not such a big performance gap between the Mauser 98K rifle and the Cyric 1 rifle, and you can use either one.

It is nothing more than changing some goblin soldiers who use Cyric flintlock guns to Mauser rifles to make them look more like soldiers than COSPLAY players.

"Collect ammunition!" The goblin's 2nd company commander reminded his drowsy subordinates, telling them to hurry up and do something meaningful.

Sometimes the replenishment of ammunition is not timely. Some enemy weapons can be found and some enemy ammunition can be used, which can save lives at critical moments.

"Company commander! I brought back two reinforcements." The messenger introduced the two soldiers from the battalion headquarters with some embarrassment.

The company commander of the 2nd company nodded, indicating that they can be more casual: "There are not so many particulars here! I am very grateful that you can come to help."

After introducing themselves, they were assigned a task, and then they also picked up a good-looking steel helmet from the goblin's corpse and put it on their heads.

No way, even though the orcs' M35 helmets are all over the place, they dare not pick them up and use them on the battlefield.Because it is easy to be accidentally injured by a highly nervous comrade in arms, and die under one's own gun, that is the real unjust dead ghost.

A few minutes later, the orc shelling began again, but this time the shelling was not directed at them.The explosions in the distance sounded dense, but for everyone on this unshelled position, it was really a soothing lullaby.

Soon someone fell asleep to the sound of the rumbling guns. They were so tired that there was no reserve team to replace them. All the goblin troops could only stick to their positions and be eaten away bit by bit. ...

Nobody complained because there was no strength left to complain.They found a place at random and fell asleep leaning against the rocks. Only the people who were assigned to be on duty stood guard continued to hold on to their tired bodies.
