Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 2150: An Opponent Who Knows How to Think

After the tank troops retreated back to the city, they immediately began to rest. New crew members were assigned to new convoys. At the same time, the crew members of the previous attack held a meeting to share their experiences. The staff was preparing the next attack plan.

There were still many tanks in the warehouse. What was lacking was actually the drivers. So the people who returned from the tank unit were mostly sharing their experiences on how to come back alive from the battlefield.

Each attack could only delay the enemy's advance to a certain extent, but in order to cause greater damage to the enemy's manpower, they still had to launch attacks again and again. While the tank troops were resting, the heavy artillery troops were bombarding the front positions all the time.

The large amount of ammunition that had been stockpiled was all released at this moment. If these shells were not fired before the enemy's trenches were dug under the city walls, there would be no chance to continue the bombardment later.

Their continuous bombing was also very effective. Everyone cherished their own lives. Even if the probability of the extraordinary people surviving the bombing was very high. A high probability of survival was one thing, and a mortality rate was another. Once a job had a mortality rate, the enthusiasm of the workers would drop to a terrible level.

The threat of artillery shells to soldiers digging tunnels is not particularly great. However, the efficiency of digging will still be greatly reduced during the bombing, basically less than 1/10 of the normal digging efficiency.

Dongfang Yuliang had no good solution. He tried to form a commando team to destroy the enemy's heavy artillery position. But the effect was not good. The commando team encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy. There were many soldiers wearing heavy armor on the enemy's artillery position. They were able to temporarily resist the assault force. When other troops finished adjusting and concentrated their fire on the commando team, they might even cause casualties to the fourth or even fifth turn masters. After leaving two bodies of fourth turn masters on the artillery position, the commando team had no choice but to evacuate.

Although a heavy artillery position was destroyed, the coalition forces could not accept such casualties. The fourth-level strongmen were all family heads. The death of such a person could very likely mean that a family was about to fall apart.

Although those were not the Golden Family, but just small tribes that had been gathered together, this was enough to shake the morale of the coalition forces. For the strong men above the fourth level, it was not allowed to have too many casualties in the battle.

After the artillery positions were destroyed, new heavy artillery was quickly pushed up. The first batch of evacuees were experienced artillerymen, and only some of the most unlucky soldiers who died in the first attack were unable to evacuate. Later, under the cover of the heavy armored forces, the experienced artillerymen basically successfully hid in the underground bunkers and evacuated to the safe rear through the underground passages.

Dongfang Yuliang looked through the telescope at the artillery position that had been extinguished and roared again. His expression was extremely ugly.

"We must also have a means of ultra-long-range attack. We must destroy the enemy's artillery. Otherwise, this battle cannot be fought at all. The enemy's commander is definitely an expert, most likely a master of slavery, or even close to the level of a master of slavery. He can command the army in such an orderly manner. His ability is probably extremely strong.

If we don't get rid of his artillery, we won't be able to advance into the city and get rid of their underground base within half a month. We can't worry about that anymore, let the new weapons try to attack. Don't worry about the explosion and other problems, anyway, the ones who died are the beast kings and the like. "

As he gave the order, the ground began to tremble, and giant war beasts several dozen meters tall were driven out. They had chains on their bodies and huge heavy artillery on their backs.

The backs of these war beasts were transformed into huge firepower platforms, with barrels several dozen meters long and almost one meter thick on their backs. These were temporarily cast, and because the casting technology was not up to standard, they were likely to explode on the spot when fired. What was even worse was that these heavy artillery pieces that were hastily made were all front-loading guns, and the shells needed to be loaded into them from the muzzle before they could be fired. This undoubtedly greatly reduced the firing rate. The only thing to be thankful for was that there were many extraordinary people who could fly or were extremely powerful. Even if the shells were loaded manually from the muzzle, the speed would not be too slow.

One by one, the war beasts crawled out from their hidden depressions. They came to a position close enough to the enemy's position, and adjusted their postures under the command of the operators, thereby adjusting the direction of the muzzles. The operators of these war beasts were all extraordinary people with strong perception abilities. Although they were not proficient in geometric calculations and did not know how to solve trigonometric functions or calculate parabolas, they could rely on their strong perception and feelings to judge the landing point of the shells. Under their control, the war beasts squatted on their hind legs like dogs sitting on the ground, making the heavy artillery present an upward tilt angle, and then the shells were loaded. With deafening noises, the shells whistled through the sky, drawing a parabola and bombing in the direction of the city wall.

Above the city wall, a huge speaker was pointed at the sky. The scout who had integrated the Diting Flesh Ear Gu lay on the huge speaker and used his keen hearing to identify the location of the enemy's flying units and the location of the artillery shells.

The whistling shells flying in the sky caused a violent whistling sound during the flight, and this violent whistling sound was captured by the loudspeaker. Through the Doppler effect of sound, the strictly trained scouts could hear the trajectory of the shells and quickly calculate the approximate landing point of the shells in their minds.

After estimating the general weakness of the shell, he quickly picked up the phone beside him. Although the chip could not be manufactured, the underground base could still make a phone.

The call went directly to the artillery position: "There are 12 shells flying towards your position at high speed, please make preparations to evade the artillery quickly." He repeated it again, then hung up the phone and called the headquarters, which issued the same order, requiring the artillerymen to abandon the heavy artillery and quickly hide in the underground bunker.

If heavy artillery is destroyed, new ones can be produced or spare ones can be taken from warehouses. However, if skilled artillerymen are killed, it will take time to replenish them.

Less than 10 seconds after receiving the order, the first shell had already landed on the position. Fortunately, the first call was made to them. Before receiving the order, they had already begun to evacuate to the underground bunker. The shells landed and exploded, creating a terrifying storm. The heavy artillery weighing several tons, along with the barrels and racks, were blown into scrap metal, but almost everyone successfully hid in the tunnel, which fell a lot of dust in the vibration of the explosion. But that was all. The reinforced concrete structure of the fortifications was not so easy to be destroyed unless it encountered a targeted bombing of a ground-penetrating bomb.

The artillery position lost almost all of its heavy artillery, but fortunately not all artillery was deployed in the same place. The Air Force had sent back the coordinates of the enemy's heavy artillery, and other artillery positions immediately launched a counterattack based on these coordinates. The muzzles of the heavy artillery set off a storm, and the shells fell like raindrops.

A war beast on the coalition side was instantly covered by countless shells. Although the beast instinctively held up its shield and released defensive killing moves to protect itself, the artillery fire was too dense. Although the defensive killing moves were powerful, they could even barely withstand the full force of the fifth-level strongman. The continuous bombardment caused continuous consumption of the shield. In the end, the shield was broken and the war beast and the heavy artillery on it were blown into pieces.

This scene made the other Gu Masters who controlled the war beasts show fear on their faces. They originally thought that the defense released by the beast kings they controlled was enough to resist most attacks. But now it seems that they thought too much. The huge size does have its advantages. In a duel, the huge size brings huge power and size advantages. It can be invincible in a duel. Whether it is true essence or strength, it is more than ten times or even dozens of times that of the enemy. But this huge size has become a sitting duck on the battlefield. No one on the battlefield cares about one-on-one duels. They always try to use more people to fight fewer people and create a force advantage in the local battlefield. This huge size, which has no way to hide its flaws, has been revealed.

The two sides exchanged several rounds of fire, and the three war beasts were blown to pieces. They also completed the destruction of five artillery positions. But just when they were about to destroy the sixth artillery position, a bright fire flashed again at the previously destroyed artillery position, and one shell after another drew a parabola in the sky and fell towards them again.

Dongfang Yuliang saw this and immediately ordered to stop shooting and evacuate everyone. It turned out that this order was useful. The war beasts were huge and looked bulky, but in fact they walked very fast. They could usually reach 50 to 60 kilometers per hour, which was much faster than the running speed of ordinary people.

This is enough to get out of the range of the shells before they land. But this constant movement also means that you can't fire. If you want to shoot at the enemy, you can only stand still and take the enemy's firepower.

At this time, Dongfang Yuliang discovered that the opposite artillery position could be quickly rebuilt even if it was destroyed. He decisively gave up the plan to fight against the opponent. The war behemoth still had many losses and these were not considered serious damage.

The enemy's fierce firepower also forced him to come up with new tactics.

Lan Nuo felt a little tricky when he saw the other side evacuate quickly and get out of the coverage of the artillery fire. He was now in the command center on the airship and could have a panoramic view of the overall situation from high above. With such a bird's-eye view, his command was naturally easy.

But the enemy he encountered this time was no ordinary one. He was a truly intelligent being, totally different from those who nominally claimed to be strong in wisdom but actually only relied on killing moves similar to divination and cheated as if they had read a script.

This kind of opponent who can quickly summarize experience in war is the most troublesome.

Dongfang Yuliang asked the war beasts to retreat to the back of the hillside. Although they had no angle to shoot, the heavy artillery on the artillery position had no way to bombard the back of the hillside. While the war beasts were evacuating, Dongfang Yuliang began to gather engineers and began to build new war fortifications.

Large pits with slopes were dug one after another. These pits were in the shape of stairs. The deepest part was facing the underground base, with a depth of nearly 100 meters. The further back, the shallower it was, thus forming a slope.

With the help of the Earth Dao masters, these large pits were dug very quickly, and each pit was just big enough for a war beast to drill into.

When Lan Nuo saw this thing, he wanted to curse. The principle of this thing is the same as the tank bunkers during World War II. The tank hides in the deepest part of the bunker before firing. At this position, the bunker covers the entire tank, and all direct fire cannot hit it. The probability of hitting with projectile fire is also greatly reduced due to the obstruction of the earth slope in front.

When the tank needs to shoot, it only needs to retreat to a higher step to give itself a shooting angle. After completing a round of shooting, it can quickly move forward and continue to hide in the pit under the slope to avoid enemy artillery fire.

This tactic was carried out by war beasts. The effect was even better than that of tanks. After firing, these war beasts could take two steps forward and hide in the deepest part of the pit. And unlike tanks, they could even squat down after hiding in the deepest part of the pit. This made their chassis lower, thus blocking almost all the firing lines of the heavy artillery. Unless the slope in front of them was completely blown up, there was no way they could be hurt at all.

"Damn! Why haven't I met such a smart commander before? I remember when my original body was fighting, the other side was in chaos as soon as the cannons were fired. How come these people learn so quickly?" Lan Nuo's clone felt a lot of pressure. His original body had never encountered an opponent with such a strong learning ability when commanding a battle.

On the one hand, the Shanhe Republic rose too fast in its early days, and had already opened up a huge technological gap with the outside world. When it first faced a family with a fourth-level strongman, it had already used missiles on the battlefield. Even if the enemy wanted to learn, they simply couldn't.

On the other hand, there is the geopolitical issue. Although Southern Xinjiang seems to be full of mountains and constant wars, it is truly a peaceful and prosperous era compared to the Northern Plains, which has to experience a world war-level royal court battle every 10 years.

The battle for the royal court arranged by the Great Sun Immortal Venerable was indeed a training exercise for people. As a result, almost everyone on the Northern Plains was a natural warrior, and the wise men on this grassland were natural war commanders.

So now it was Lan Nuo's turn to worry about how to get rid of the enemy's heavy artillery bunker.
