The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 265 The Black Hawk Empire's Walking Cannons
"Huh? That's it? Nothing else?"

Upon seeing this task, Andrei couldn't help but laugh.

To be honest, this mission might seem very difficult for other Cambrian units, but for Andrei at this stage, it is far too easy to complete.

There's no need to deploy troops that haven't been reorganized and fully trained yet; those troops are either cannon fodder pulled up or defeated soldiers whose morale hasn't been restored.

Andrei only needs to use the players he has on hand to easily complete this mission.

"Alright, by the way, is there anything we need to be careful about for this mission? Like, has the enemy deployed the Titan Legion or something?"

General Constantine shook his head.

"There shouldn't be any Titan Legions. At least I haven't heard of the enemy adding any extra Titan Legions to this front. And as things stand, both of the Black Hawk Empire's Titan Legions are currently resting."

"Clearly, both the Emperor's Son and the Black Skull suffered severe damage in the previous battles. It is unlikely that the Black Hawk Empire will send these two Titan legions back in the short term."

"As for the other Titan legions, they have other fronts to attend to, and it's impossible for them to concentrate all their forces here."

"Ultimately, the Black Hawk Empire's main offensive target is still Moscow. They should concentrate all their forces on Moscow."

While General Constantine was speaking, Andrei was carefully examining the map.

He wasn't looking at a map of Petrograd, but rather at rough maps of other areas.

After glancing at the general movements of the Black Hawk units, Andrei suddenly spoke up out of the blue:

"Old man, I'd like to say, how about we make a bet?"

"I have a feeling that the Black Hawk Empire's Army Group Central might suddenly advance south instead of heading straight for Moscow. They are very likely to choose to encircle and annihilate the forces in the Kievan Rus' region!"

The map in front of me was all too familiar. Although it was still somewhat different from the early stages of the Soviet-German War, in general, the current Black Hawk Empire offensive was roughly in line with the early stages of the Soviet-German War.

Therefore, Andrei strongly suspects that the Black Hawk Empire is now very likely to replicate the Kiev siege at the beginning of the Soviet-German War.

Upon hearing Andrei's words, General Constantine frowned slightly.

"Are you sure? Where did you get this information from?"

"To be honest, they could certainly launch a brilliant encirclement campaign by doing this, but I always feel that it doesn't align with their strategic intentions, does it?"

In General Constantine's view, if he were the commander of the Black Hawk Empire, he would definitely choose to push the troops directly towards Moscow.

If the Black Eagle Empire can capture Moscow before the harsh winter arrives, it is highly likely that it will quickly force the Cambrian Empire to surrender, and then simply dismantle the Cambrian Empire completely.

Otherwise, when the harsh winter arrives, the Black Hawk Empire's forces will face extreme difficulties here.

"I don't know, and I don't have any suitable intelligence channels to find out, but I just have this intuition!"

Andrei shrugged; he didn't know how to explain the idea.

He can't exactly say that he thinks this war is very similar to a war that broke out in another world, and that's how wars are fought in that other world, can he?
If he really said that, then General Constantine would probably think he was crazy.

"Let me think, let me think..."

Perhaps it was because Andrei's past record was so extraordinary that the general developed blind confidence in his son.

Therefore, although the situation described by Andrei was not strategically appropriate, he still gave it serious consideration.

"...If I were the Black Hawk Emperor, and had enough confidence to attack Moscow, perhaps I really would have turned my troops around and formed a huge encirclement here!"

As he pondered this, the general slammed his fist on the table, suddenly realizing that the Black Hawk Emperor might actually have such confidence!

This is entirely possible!
In this world, Andrei couldn't figure out why the Black Hawk Empire's Operation Barbarossa seemed to have started two months ahead of schedule, with the enemy launching their attack in mid-April.

Although the Cambrian Empire initially chose to launch a counterattack, the Black Hawk Empire seemed to have set up a trap, wiping out the Cambrian Empire's counter-attacking army, which did indeed waste some time.

However, in terms of the overall timeline, the Black Hawk Empire still had a time advantage of more than a month compared to Germany during the same period of World War II.

If that's the case, even if they waste some time in Kiev, they'll still have plenty of time to attack Moscow.

If the Black Hawk Empire can capture Moscow as quickly as possible before the harsh winter arrives, it might actually be able to end this war.

After all, the Cambrian Empire is currently a feudal state. Once the central government of a feudal state is destroyed, it is only natural that warlords would rise up in various places.

"Your idea is very feasible. I'll inform Moscow right away and warn them to be on their guard!"

"But I think Moscow will be on high alert, right? As far as I know, Nicholas III has been constantly moving troops towards Moscow!"

While touching the phone, General Constantine spoke with some uncertainty.

He's starting to not understand what Nicholas III is doing!
Prior to this, he had consistently advocated concentrating a large number of troops in the Kievan Rus' region, using Kiev as a center to launch a counterattack against the enemy.

In contrast, the Tsar seemed prepared to replicate the scorched-earth policy he had previously implemented, leaving a large number of troops to guard the capital and abandoning the territories along the way.

In general, the scorched-earth policy implemented by the Tsar was not very successful because the Black Hawk Empire's offensive speed was too fast, and the Tsar's control over the local areas was too weak.

Therefore, the Black Hawk Empire was generally able to occupy the land before the Tsar could persuade the local nobles to burn their own territories to the ground.

If General Constantine had thought the Tsar was weak and incompetent before, then when he realized that Kiev might be surrounded by the enemy, he suddenly had some doubts. Could it be that Nicholas III was actually a military genius?

From this perspective alone, Nicholas III inadvertently saved a considerable number of troops!
Andrei quietly left his study and then went to gather the players.

He doesn't just want players to rescue the besieged army; he also plans to have that army break out and then counter-encircle the Black Hawk Empire's besieging forces.

According to his estimation, if he could get the players to penetrate deeper into the encirclement, then launch a central attack, and then coordinate with another group of players to launch a pincer attack from the north.

If handled properly, he could very well wipe out the two mechanized infantry divisions that were encircling the north, and might even be able to destroy a portion of the enemy's armored forces before they could withdraw!

As for whether to take this opportunity to further expand the gains?
Andrei doesn't really have any ideas about that for the time being.

It would be easy to expand the gains, but once his troops were deep in enemy territory, the enemy would take back the land they had captured.

The other friendly forces were simply not up to par; they were in no position to hold their ground or cover Andrei's rear.

If Andrei keeps pushing forward to break through, he will eventually be surrounded by the enemy, turning the battle into a complete mess and then ending inconclusively.

Andrei's troops were mobilized, and a large number of players joined the expedition. Even a group of players who were busy fighting a guerrilla war against the Black Hawk Empire outside all withdrew.

This was a relief for the Black Hawk troops, who had been suffering from guerrilla warfare for a long time; they were simply fed up with this endless guerrilla warfare.

Andrei was unaware that although the Black Hawk Empire had launched another attack, the fierce offensive had continued until now, and they still hadn't been able to completely capture the city of Chudovo.

Before evacuating, Andrei left more than a dozen respawn points in the city of Chudovo.

It was precisely because of the existence of these respawn points that the Black Hawk Army, which came to attack, was unable to completely occupy the city. Instead, they lost tens of thousands of soldiers in the street fighting!
Honestly, they were all shocked by the amount of losses they had suffered in just a few days.

An infantry division that was sent in to prepare for garrisoning was inexplicably decimated, and even two armored regiments that were originally passing through the area suffered considerable losses when they joined the battle.

Now, some legends, almost like ghost stories, have emerged about the Black Hawk Down army.

Many Black Hawk soldiers believe that the city is filled with the vengeful spirits of Cambrian soldiers because the previous Guards had committed too many atrocities in Chudovo!

That's why they always encounter Cambrian soldiers in this city. They try their best to kill them, but they can never kill them all, as if there is a group of immortal soldiers!
The Black Hawk Empire has now begun deploying a special forces unit to this area, attempting to thoroughly cleanse the city.

However, they were unaware that the players who stayed behind and fought a guerrilla war had rejoined Andrei's main attack force by relocating through the respawn point.

The march was as tedious as ever, but because Andrei was leading a force entirely of players this time, their movement speed was beyond imagination.

By now, the players under Andrei's command have been almost entirely mechanized, allowing them to move around quickly by using trucks or other means.

Of course, that's not the point.

The key point is that players don't need to worry about mechanical wear and tear or malfunctions when riding in trucks.

Although the Cambrian Empire's trucks were never of good quality and were particularly prone to breaking down, they were always able to run at top speed thanks to the maintenance of a large number of repairmen.

As for fuel, although Andrei's troops need to consume fuel when using land vehicles, as the vanguard of the entire Petrograd Front, his army naturally cannot lack fuel.

When General Constantine was resupplying his troops, he almost openly displayed his favoritism.

In the past, when Andrei could only lead division-level units, he was able to enjoy the same fuel supplies as corps-level units.

Of course, if other Cambrian units were dissatisfied with this treatment, General Constantine would also have valid reasons:

Who made Andrei's troops so capable of winning battles?
War isn't about playing averages; troops that are good at fighting naturally deserve better treatment and superior supplies.

If they confidently promise that once they obtain supplies equivalent to those of Andrei's unit, they will achieve similar results, then General Constantine is perfectly capable of providing them with such supplies!
However, even though General Constantine made the promise, no Cambrian army dared to make such a commitment.

Although they were amazed and even unable to understand Andrei's various achievements, they were not unaware of the Black Hawk Empire's combat capabilities.

It is precisely because they understand this clearly that they dare not agree to such conditions.

They were well aware that the gap in combat capability between the Cambrian Army and the Black Hawk Army could not be bridged by a simple supply issue.

Even if they were given such extraordinary supplies, they would still be unable to win.

Since it's highly unlikely we'll be facing the enemy's Titan Legion this time, Andrei's two P1000 Giant Rat tanks weren't transferred over.

These two tanks are currently merged with Katyusha's Titan Legion as a deterrent force against the enemy Titan Legion, and are not suitable for direct deployment to this battlefield.

Of course, if Andrei really encounters any troublesome enemies here, he won't care about intimidation.

If Andrei were to discover any enemy that his unit couldn't defeat, he would issue a mission as quickly as possible to summon his two super tanks.

Besides the p1000 giant rat, the Karl mortar was also not brought along.

The main reason this thing wasn't brought along was that it was too slow and couldn't keep up with the pace of Andrei's army.

Therefore, these two cannons were also temporarily left in Petrograd as special mobile artillery.

However, besides these things, Andrei brought all the equipment he could with him this time, including the "Andrei's Hammer" that had just been modified by the players.

The original Stalin's Hammer cannon had two versions: one was a self-propelled cannon with a self-propelled mechanism, and the other was a towed cannon.

Although players can manufacture both versions of the artillery when Andrei unlocks this unit.

In the end, after going around in circles, Andrei discovered that not a single player had chosen to build artillery with self-propelled mechanisms; they had all chosen to recruit towed artillery.

The reason is simple: artillery with a self-propelled mechanism is much more expensive than towed artillery, and the self-propelled mechanism of this thing is not very good.

Rather than building an old-fashioned self-propelled device from World War II, players prefer to recruit towed artillery and then find a chassis to mount the artillery.

Because of the new artillery, the British-made BL 9.2-inch siege gun from World War I was completely phased out.

The player simply removed all the old cannons from the chassis and then installed the newly recruited Stalin's Hammer.

As for the old artillery pieces, they were simply thrown into the warehouses of the army base by the players to gather dust, otherwise they would not have been able to be transported normally.

After the Stalin's Hammer was installed, the original walking machine chassis seemed to have a slightly reduced speed, but not seriously, only about 18 kilometers per hour instead of 20 kilometers per hour.

For a self-propelled artillery piece, maintaining such speed indefinitely would be incredibly impressive.

With the player's repair skills, these self-propelled artillery pieces can indeed maintain this speed indefinitely, making them extremely mobile.

"...When I get back to him, I'll have to ask the old man again to see if he has any better chassis for the mobile platform?"

"If we could take out all these mobile chassis and let the players modify them, they might be able to create even more amazing jobs!"

Looking at the "Andrei's Hammer," whose abstract design seemed slightly top-heavy but moved swiftly across the wilderness, Andrei thought to himself.

He felt that the player's engineer skill had even greater potential for development; it was practically like the Greenskins' "I Think Power".

While this thing isn't quite as overpowered as the Greenskins' abilities, at the very least, players seem to be able to easily mount various weapons onto the chassis of the mobile suit and secure them in place.

I wonder if it's because the screws that players tighten with a wrench have some kind of system bonus, so they don't come loose?
From Andrei's perspective, looking at the chassis of this mobile machine carrying such a large cannon barrel, he felt it was rather precarious, fearing that it might accidentally throw the cannon off when moving at high speed.

Just then, several planes suddenly flew over Andrei's head.

These aircraft are all Spitfire fighters that have been upgraded from basic weapons. Compared to the original biplane fighters, which, even with the system's enhancements, could not exceed 200 km/h, these things are much faster.

And clearly, players who now have the new plane are having more fun operating it.

Judging from the comments in the chat, at least Andrei felt that players seemed quite satisfied with the new aircraft.

Frozen Pear Emperor: [Isn't this amazing? These WWII planes are truly useful!]

Jackdaw: [Indeed, at least with this, we're much better off against the Black Hawk Army's 88mm anti-aircraft guns. As long as we fly more nimbly, their anti-aircraft guns won't lock onto us so easily!]

Before this, the Black Hawk Empire's 88mm anti-aircraft guns were practically air force killers.

This thing is not only highly accurate, but also extremely lethal; a typical aircraft unit would be wiped out after just one shot.

The biplane fighters and bombers that players previously piloted had limited flight speeds, making it difficult for them to escape the lock-on of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, unless they were engaged in high-altitude combat.

To be honest, the field of vision in high-altitude combat is really not good. For players, the game experience of high-altitude combat is extremely poor. They can't even see the results of their bombing.

Therefore, even if it's risky, many players are willing to continue dive bombing, and at worst they can just use the firepower on their planes to bombard the 88mm anti-aircraft guns!
However, nowadays, players no longer need to take such a big risk.

With the new aircraft, it became very difficult for enemy anti-aircraft guns to lock onto them.

Clearly, the Black Hawk Empire's air defense forces had never encountered an aircraft flying at such a high speed before.

Let alone World War II aircraft, even old World War I aircraft were too fast for them, because their daily training involved using anti-aircraft guns to shoot down airships.

In this situation, with such a large speed difference all at once, it would be difficult for veterans who had developed a feel for airships to turn things around.

They knew how to calculate lead time, but they had absolutely no idea how much lead time they should calculate for this new aircraft.

Compared to the new recruits who were haphazardly figuring things out, these veterans, because of their past experience, had a lower accuracy rate than the new recruits.

Rice Noodle Roll Cat: [By the way, just a heads-up to our brothers behind us, the enemy has set up some artillery on the two hills ahead!]

Upon seeing this, Andrei's gaze sharpened, and then he looked at the two mountains in the distance.

Indeed, if he wanted to take the normal route, he would have to pass through two high points east of the Neva River on his way to Ulyanovka.

If the enemy were to set up artillery here and unleash a barrage of fire, he might actually suffer considerable losses if caught off guard. "How strange, how did the Black Hawk Empire manage to get the artillery up here?"

But when Andrei looked through his binoculars at the terrain of the distant hill, he always felt that it would be really difficult for the Black Hawk Empire to move its artillery up there.

Although those two high points were not particularly steep, it was clear that the slopes were not something that ordinary artillery vehicles could drive up.

Since the Black Hawk Empire has deployed artillery units there, either they have found a suitable route to climb up, or they must have also developed self-propelled artillery using mobile suits.

"It seems like it's about time. They should really be able to get the self-propelled artillery with a walking mechanism out of the way. It's not like it's a complicated technology."

Andrei thought to himself that the Black Hawk Empire's research and development speed seemed a bit slow before.

To be honest, once you have a chassis, it should be easy to install various weapons on it.

Once you have a mobile platform, if you want to install a cannon on it, all you need to do is modify the turret.

Andrei was talking without a care in the world, but he had no idea that the Black Hawk Empire couldn't develop a brand new armored vehicle so easily.

Needless to say, the engineers of the Black Hawk Empire don't have the same level of repair capabilities as the players. If they want to create a brand new self-propelled artillery piece, they have to design it from scratch.

If the subsystems are not properly arranged, the artillery will inevitably have many flaws and is very likely to malfunction.

In comparison, players can easily screw the cannon on by simply tapping a few screws, and it won't even come loose, which is truly enviable.

After confirming that there were enemy artillery pieces on the high ground ahead, Andrei immediately deployed a mission to eliminate the artillery.

The mission had just been deployed when the Katyusha rocket launchers at the rear of the formation came out one after another.

At the same time, a large number of players of various types, along with a bunch of spider mechs, launched an attack on the distant mountain.

"...That damn air force, that damn mechanical bird!"

On the foremost hilltop, the Black Hawk troops, fresh from an air raid, scrambled to their feet, the colonel in charge of the artillery grumbling.

"What are you all standing there for? Quickly take stock of our losses and see how many men and equipment we've lost!"

Seeing that his adjutant was still in a daze, he kicked him in annoyance.

So what if we were attacked by enemy air raids? Are we going to be scared out of our wits like this?

After being kicked hard by his superior, his adjutant finally realized what was happening and quickly ran off to assess the damage.

Before long, their list of losses was compiled.

"Reporting, Colonel, we have just lost a total of four Wasp cannons, four 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and 226 soldiers!"

Upon hearing of such losses, Colonel Schudman, the artillery commander at the position, almost felt like vomiting blood.

"Damn it! How could the losses be so huge?"

He asked incredulously, but when he thought of the horrific scenes of the previous air raids, he felt that such losses seemed insignificant.

After such an air raid, the fact that his troops suffered only this level of losses seemed acceptable to him.

In fact, the reason he only suffered minor losses was mainly because the players did not target this area as a primary objective.

After the air force player symbolically bombed the area twice, they flew off to a more distant location.

On one hand, they were clearing a path for reconnaissance, and on the other hand, they were preparing to take the opportunity to provide air support to the friendly forces that were being surrounded.

"Report! Our reconnaissance units at the front have spotted enemy activity! They've entered artillery range!"

"However, the enemy seems to have discovered us through aerial reconnaissance, and they appear to be preparing to attack our high ground."

Just then, a communications soldier suddenly rushed over.

The reconnaissance troops at the front have discovered the enemy forces, but at the same time, the enemy also seems to have discovered them.

"Let them come at me. I want to see just how many troops they're going to lose on this high ground."

Colonel Schudman waved his hand and immediately ordered the artillery to fire, while simultaneously instructing the infantry on the perimeter to prepare for defense.

With the firepower on the hilltop and the defenses provided by the infantry, he believed that the enemy would not be able to easily capture the high ground.

His artillery was deployed in advance in fortifications, and because the latest Wasp guns used a mobile chassis, his artillery had excellent mobility and could move freely on the hilltop.

If the enemy wants to attack this high ground, then their chariots will be useless.

To be honest, if the Cambrian Empire didn't deploy those tanks and relied solely on mechs for combat, he wouldn't be too worried.

Judging from the current situation, none of the Cambrian Empire mechs he has seen are particularly durable.

If the enemy only deploys reindeer mechs, their anti-armor infantry on the perimeter are not to be underestimated.

With a series of cannon shots, the remaining 16 Wasp cannons on the hilltop unleashed a fierce bombardment of the parameters reported by the scouts.

These Wasp artillery pieces use 105mm caliber howitzers, but thanks to the adoption of the latest extended barrels, their range has reached 13 kilometers.

Such a range is enough to overwhelm the Cambrian Empire's artillery of the same caliber, not to mention their height advantage here.

Unless the Cambrian army can quickly deploy corps-level heavy artillery, they simply cannot suppress the artillery on the hilltop.

Even if they deployed their corps-level 152mm heavy artillery, they could still avoid enemy fire by moving quickly up the hilltop.

If all else fails, they can simply have their mobile artillery quickly relocate and bombard enemy artillery elsewhere.

With a whooshing sound, 16 shells landed directly on Andrei's attacking force.

Unfortunately, the Katyusha rocket launcher has a range of only 8.5 kilometers, so in order to attack the enemy's artillery positions, these rocket launchers must move forward quickly.

During this round of bombardment, two Katyusha rocket launchers were destroyed on the spot, and two other vehicles broke down, but were later repaired by the players.

Two rocket launchers were destroyed at once, which really broke the hearts of the players.

In particular, Andrei's team included a group of newly recruited, poor, new players.

During those days, they earned a lot of merit through patrols and espionage.

I finally splurged and bought myself a rocket launcher, but it got blown up by the enemy before I could even fire it!

The thought of losing their newly acquired rocket launcher, which they had barely gotten their hands on, sent some unlucky players into a panic.

"Aaaaaah! Holy crap! How could those damn Black Hawk devils be so evil?"

"My holy sword! My rocket launcher!"

Players who had reached the red temperature level didn't care about anything else. They respawned in the field tents that had just been set up at the rear and were being used as respawn points, and immediately started charging with bayonets in hand.

Damn it! You're the ones who bombed my house, aren't you?

Hey kid, it's time to show you what a Hundred-Star Bayonet Man really is!

However, compared to these players, the first to launch an attack were those who had already completed the replacement of Andre's Hammer.

The original Stalin's Hammer cannon had a range of 17.5 kilometers, and even after players swapped it out for a mobile machine, its range remained unchanged.

Therefore, while the Katyusha rocket launchers were still busy advancing, the 203mm heavy artillery, which had been set up not far from Andrei's headquarters, roared towards the distant mountains.

With a deafening roar, Andrei rubbed his ears, feeling a bit of toothache.

"That's a bit scary. Now I know why this thing is called Stalin's Hammer. When it fires, it really feels like your head is being hit by a hammer!"

The loud noise made Andrei's ears slightly uncomfortable.

Of course, compared to the noise of the Giant Rat Tank 380's giant cannon firing, the noise of this thing is just a drop in the ocean.

All six heavy cannons fired at once, and with a sharp whistling sound, six heavy shells landed on the distant hilltop in an instant.

Upon hearing the loud commotion, Colonel Schudman immediately realized that something was wrong.

Based on his many years of experience commanding artillery, he knew that these must be heavy artillery shells from the enemy!
"How is this possible? How could the Cambrian army's heavy artillery deploy so quickly?"

Colonel Schuderman, who quickly sought shelter, was somewhat bewildered. According to his understanding, Cambrian armies rarely equipped themselves with artillery exceeding 152 mm in diameter.

Even with such heavy artillery, they still had to unload the cannons from the tractor, install and secure them, and finally complete a series of procedures before firing.

After all this trouble, given the quality of the Cambrian artillerymen, they should have to wait at least half an hour before they could fire the cannon.
There's no time to think too much.

Colonel Schudman quickly ordered all the Wasp artillery pieces to be moved, but just as these self-propelled guns moved, shells began to blast them away.

Since the first round of bombing was only a test, the player's accuracy was not ideal this time.

Only one shell successfully hit its target, but this 203mm shell that fell from the sky tore a Wasp cannon to pieces on the spot.

The remaining shells that landed on the open ground also caused huge explosions, and the nearby Black Hawk soldiers were instantly hit by the blast wave and killed.

Some soldiers even fainted due to the overpressure, with blood flowing from their mouths and noses.

The Black Hawk troops at the foot of the mountain looked up at the commotion atop the hill, a lingering sense of awe on their faces.

"What's going on? How did the enemy's heavy artillery fire so quickly?"

Colonel Schuderman wasn't the only one puzzled; they were equally astonished.

The reaction speed of the Cambrian army's artillery was far beyond their understanding of Cambrian artillery!

"Take cover, or you'll get blown up by the shells!"

"Anti-tank soldiers, double-check your weapons for any problems?"

The officers in the ranks quickly calmed the soldiers' somewhat panicked emotions. Their task was to prepare to engage the enemy's armored forces, not to consider the issue of artillery fire.

Regardless, that previous barrage of heavy artillery fire certainly cast a shadow over their minds.

After several rounds of shelling, both sides suffered losses.

Even after the relocation, the Black Hawk Empire has still lost 5 Wasp cannons, leaving them with only 11 cannons.

However, it is precisely because they can quickly relocate artillery that they have not been completely destroyed by the players.

Otherwise, given the capabilities of the player's artillery, they would have an overhead view when they fired, allowing them to immediately pinpoint the enemy artillery's location.

When the time comes, adjust the artillery angle and fire at the locked target. Wouldn't that be a sure thing every time?
As for the players, another Katyusha rocket launcher that was advancing was destroyed.

Andrei silently watched the losses on his side from the back of the column, while also making a mental note of the incident:

The Katyusha rocket launcher is indeed powerful, but it is not suitable for engaging in direct fire with enemy artillery because its range is insufficient.

The next time he deploys Katyusha rocket launchers, he'd better make sure his artillery can suppress the enemy's artillery, otherwise he'll inevitably suffer losses.

In just a short while, the player's rocket launcher was already in place.

Leaving aside the players who were full of resentment because they lost their rocket launchers, the players who were busy operating the other dozen or so rocket launchers were all extremely excited.

"Fire! Hurrah!"

As the players cheered excitedly, more than ten rocket launchers simultaneously unleashed a fierce barrage of fire on the opposite hilltop.

In just a moment, hundreds of rockets were launched, instantly creating a dazzling meteor shower in the sky.

"Then...what is that?"

Black Hawk soldiers stared in disbelief at the meteor shower falling from the sky, momentarily stunned by the sight.

This was the first time they had ever seen such a peculiar barrage of firepower. Both the visual effects and the density of the attack left them deeply shaken.

The next moment, this terrifying meteor shower covered most of the mountain.

The more than 100 rockets landed at significantly different points, which is why they were able to cover a large area.

If before this, the Wasp Cannons had some room to dodge the fierce bombardment of Andrei's Hammer, now, faced with this saturation-like bombardment, they are completely helpless.

Amidst the fierce artillery fire, one Wasp cannon after another was torn to pieces on the spot, and some cannons were blown into huge fireballs due to the rapid explosion of ammunition.

Although the Wasp Artillery had taken cover in advance, the entire hilltop was only a small space, so where could they possibly go?

With such overwhelming firepower, they didn't even have anywhere to dodge!
When the shelling stopped, Colonel Schuderman emerged from his hidden underground bunker, staring wide-eyed at his surroundings.

He could hardly believe that this hellish scene of raging fire before his eyes was his artillery position just a minute ago!
"By the Emperor, how many cannons do we have left? Are there any survivors?"

Just as he finished speaking, Colonel Schudman suddenly heard a slight noise from the side.

He looked back and saw that a Wasp cannon, which seemed to have survived the previous shelling, was now struggling to move over.

No, this cannon did not actually survive, because one of the mechanical legs on its traveling mechanism had been blown off.

Although the cannon was still barely capable of firing, it had completely lost its balance because the traveling mechanism had been blown off, and the entire cannon was tilted to one side.

Without a doubt, the Wasp cannon in this state would be unable to hit its target accurately.

Even when firing, the recoil of the cannon could cause it to shatter completely.

Apart from this broken cannon that is still barely functional, all the remaining Wasp cannons on this position were destroyed in the previous round of bombardment.

From this perspective, the Katyusha rocket launchers might suffer some casualties when they get close.

If these rocket launchers get close, the enemy will probably have no chance to fight back.

Meanwhile, the Black Hawk infantry, who were already prepared at the foot of the mountain, also saw the first wave of enemies rushing up.

However, when they saw the strange-looking cavalry in the distance, and the spider-shaped mechs charging alongside them, they felt that this thing didn't look like the configuration of the Cambrian army at all!

(End of this chapter)
