The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 292 What?! The players have captured the fortress-type warehouse!

"Then what about the cost? These soldiers' lives require a large amount of medicine to maintain; what exactly are their costs?"

The Tsar frowned, and soon a huge problem came to mind.

There's no worry about medicine. Just as Fabius said, as long as they can keep wearing power armor, they can rely on the devices inside the power armor to maintain their medicine supply.

Even if they get caught up in the heat of battle and forget about their injections, the timer device can automatically administer the injections for them.

But the thought that these soldiers needed constant medication to maintain their fighting ability, or even to survive, gave the Tsar a headache.

Let's not even talk about what will happen to these soldiers after they retire from the war.

Even just considering the present, the consumption of such medicines would probably be a huge expense.

Fabius seemed to have anticipated that the Tsar would ask this question, so he prepared a statistical table in advance, presented it to the Tsar, and gave a detailed explanation.

After all that talk, the Tsar felt a bit dizzy. In short, Fabius meant to say:

These super soldiers are powerful enough that one of them is equivalent to ten powered armored soldiers in the past!
If calculated based on this cost, even with their large expenditure on medicines, they would still be far more powerful than arming ten ordinary powered armored soldiers.

"Alright, in that case, we can start small-scale production for now..."

The Tsar nodded, which could be considered a formal approval of the reform model.

"But then again, what is the actual production volume of these soldiers?"

The Tsar had noticed before that Fabius's modified warriors seemed to require a series of procedures to complete, and even organ transplants were needed, which seemed much more troublesome than arming a powered armored soldier.

So never tell him that these soldiers can't be mass-produced yet, and that only a few can be armed.

When it came to production figures, Fabius seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"Well, Your Majesty, regarding this issue, we are indeed troubled by many factors regarding production..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Tsar interrupted the bald researcher.

"That's enough. Get to the conclusion. What do you need?"

"I have no interest in your long-winded explanation; all I need is to further increase the production of these soldiers!"

Upon hearing the Tsar's words, Fabius's eyes lit up.

Who wouldn't like a boss who's naive, rich, and efficient?

He first gestured, indicating that the Tsar must increase investment, and then continued:
“Your Majesty, the main problem restricting production right now is our laboratory. We can’t just manufacture in the laboratory, otherwise production will never increase. We need a production line to produce the power armor and the supporting drugs.”

"On the other hand, we have not yet found a way to quickly cultivate and modify organs, so we are currently unable to obtain enough modified organs for large-scale modification."

There was nothing they could do. They had tried every possible means to accelerate the growth of the cloned organs, but neither science nor magic could make them grow quickly.

If we calculate it this way, it would take at least six months to create an Imperial Eagle warrior, and that's only if they have mages and medical nuns constantly accelerating the process.

"So Your Majesty, do we have any other methods to accelerate the maturation of these organs? If we can solve this problem, then the mass production of Imperial Eagle warriors will be complete!"

The Tsar frowned and pondered this question.
To be honest, he is not an expert in biology; in fact, one could say he knows almost nothing about it.

Expecting him to find a suitable method for accelerating organ maturation is asking too much of him.

However, just because the Tsar couldn't think of it doesn't mean that no one else could.

One of the advisors who had accompanied the Tsar thought for a moment and then suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the enemy we encountered in the Far East..."

The Tsar was taken aback at first, then as if he had suddenly remembered something, he gasped.

"What do you mean to say...?"

The consultant nodded and said:
“That’s right, let’s go straight for the pills! That strange mixture of flesh and blood from the East, although it has an extremely terrifying corrosiveness, its performance is also very superior.”

"As long as we restrict and control the scale of this substance's use as much as possible, I believe it should not cause widespread pollution."

The Tsar stood there, silent, lost in thought.

It has to be said that the proposal does sound very tempting, but he is worried that the pills might accidentally get out of control.

He had already seen what the Northern Qing Empire was really like, and to put it bluntly, calling it a country of demons and monsters at this moment would be an understatement.

The abstract nature of those guys even made the Tsar wonder if they were the seven levels of hell descending to earth.

However, it must be said that such super-modified soldiers were indeed very tempting to him, so much so that even though the Tsar knew the dangers of them, he still wanted to take the risk and try them.

“Alright, in that case, I agree to the plan in principle, but I hope you will pay close attention to the operating procedures.”

"I don't want any bad news to suddenly come from here one day. If I find out that something is wrong, I will order the artillery to use white phosphorus incendiary bombs to burn this place down completely!"

As soon as the Tsar finished speaking, Fabius and several other researchers nodded repeatedly, swearing that they would not cause any accidents.

Although the Tsar didn't really believe the oaths of these research fanatics, the urgent war situation forced him to temporarily ignore the risks.

After leaving the research institute, one of the Tsar's aides suddenly whispered:
"Your Majesty, is it necessary for us to take such a great risk?"

"To be honest, I think modifying soldiers is a crooked and heretical approach. The Empire has enough manpower and resources; we can use human wave tactics..."

Before he could finish speaking, the Tsar suddenly shook his head, interrupting him.

"No, you're wrong. The human wave tactic is outdated now."

"War after war has proven that human wave tactics are not so effective, especially as the war machines of countries around the world have developed rapidly, ordinary soldiers will become the least influential thing."

"And let's not forget that the threats we face now are not just external; the internal threats we face are equally severe."

"If internal problems really break out, it remains to be seen whose side our people will choose to support..."

As he spoke, the Tsar gazed toward Petrograd, his eyes filled with gloom.

It must be said that he ultimately underestimated these local lords. For example, the Vorontsov family in this war brought him a huge surprise!

Therefore, he needs to consolidate his military power and must have a force strong enough to suppress all enemies!

The next morning, Andrei organized the players around him and the soldiers who had come with him to carry out repairs on the city of Volkhov, while also checking on the guerrilla warfare situation on the players' side.

A bright smile spread across his face when he saw that more than one of the Black Hawk Army's fuel depots had been destroyed.

"Haha, well done!"

"You little punk, you want to play with armored forces, huh? I'll cut off your fuel, let's see how you play with armored forces then?"

The more advanced the weapon, the more demanding the logistical requirements become, just like the situation the Black Hawk Empire is currently facing.

When their rear transport was repeatedly attacked by players, their frontline armored forces were immediately paralyzed.

Andrei didn't know exactly how much fuel they had left, but he was confident that the enemy's armored forces wouldn't have much fuel reserves.

Until they bring in a new batch of fuel from the rear, it will be virtually impossible for the enemy's armored forces to launch a large-scale offensive.

However, although the enemy did not intend to launch a large-scale offensive, sporadic small-scale skirmishes occurred from time to time in various regions.

The Black Hawk forces had previously launched an offensive into Petrograd city, and although they were repelled, they also captured many buildings on the outskirts of Petrograd.

Villages, factories, and even some deserted towns have become footholds for the Black Hawk Army. The enemy is using these small strongholds to continuously accumulate strength and prepare for the next offensive.

Regarding the situation there, Andrei did not intend to interfere too much; he believed that his father's troops could handle it.

If things really get out of hand, all you have to do is ask him for help, and he can immediately send troops to the other side of the front.

At this moment, Andrei was most concerned about the attack on the enemy's logistics, and he was also concerned about the situation on the outskirts of Volkhov.

Compared to the protracted battles that broke out on the outskirts of Petrograd, the situation in Volkhov was even more dire.

Because the Volkhov Army Group had very limited manpower, they had to adopt a defensive strategy focused on the railway station and the core urban area, and could only shrink their defensive perimeter.

This resulted in several factories and numerous villages around Volkhov falling into enemy hands.

Those villages are nothing compared to what happened in the previous battles. The evacuation of villagers near the Volkhov transportation hub was relatively successful, but considering the transportation situation of the Cambrian Empire's villages...

It may be a little embarrassing to admit, but in fact, most of the villages in the Cambrian Empire were not suitable as outposts for the enemy.

Once they bring the supplies here, they will face enormous trouble, whether it's bringing them in or taking them out.

There are many terrible roads that are not passable by cars or mechs, and even horses may not be able to get through them, so transportation can only be carried out by manpower.

For Black Hawk Down to occupy such remote areas, it would be a complete waste of their energy.

Andrei is now more concerned about the factories located on the outskirts of Volkhov.

These factories are all quite important buildings, not only because they can be transformed into fortresses with some modifications, but also because they have a large number of warehouses suitable for stockpiling supplies and relatively developed transportation.

Furthermore, these factories with heavy production lines can become weapon manufacturing bases for players simply by being captured.

Therefore, Andrei planned to launch several counterattacks during this relatively calm period to recapture these fallen factories.

Once he captures this place, he can have the player quickly turn the factory into a fortress, transforming it into a military outpost and creating a satellite-like defense around Volkhov.

"Okay, let's seize these factories first, then we can mass-produce armored units whenever we want!"

"If necessary, players can even use respawn points to secretly gather troops from a factory and launch a flanking attack on the enemy!"

Thinking of this, Andrei's face showed a look of eager anticipation.

He was eager to see the enemy forces suddenly encounter a counterattack from the fortress chemical plant when they attacked Volkhov.

"First, send out a wave of air reconnaissance troops to check the enemy's movements, and then decide which factory to concentrate our forces on attacking..."

While Andrei was busy issuing missions to air force players, the phone in his headquarters suddenly rang.

"Hello, this is Vorontsov—Grandpa, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

As soon as he answered the phone and heard the familiar voice on the other end, Andrei was startled.

However, General Constantine clearly had no intention of arguing with Andrei at this moment. He said in a somewhat somber tone:

"Bad news! I just received a telegram that the Kievan Rus' Front has been surrounded by enemy forces! A total of 45 of our troops have fallen into the enemy's encirclement, and their retreat has been cut off!"

Tsk! He knew this would happen!
Andrei frowned. He never expected that the classic Kiev encirclement from World War II would eventually take shape in this strange world.

However, it must be said that compared to the original historical Battle of Kiev, the current situation seems to be much better than he imagined.

At that time, the German army surrounded a Soviet army of nearly 70 men, but this time, the Cambrian Empire's army seems to have been surrounded by only 45 men.

"Okay, so what does Moscow mean?"

As Andrei casually asked the question, he began to ponder what kind of order Moscow would issue.

It must be said that Moscow made the right decision by accident this time.

Because the Tsar had previously redeployed a large number of troops, seemingly intending to hold Moscow at all costs, the troops remaining in Kievan Rus' were significantly reduced.

As a result, by the time the encirclement was formed, the number of troops being surrounded had decreased significantly, and quite a few troops had actually managed to withdraw ahead of time by accident!
"...What else could it mean? It's just the same old idea!"

"Moscow is now refusing to send additional troops to support the Kievan Rus' Front. They are demanding that the Kievan Rus' Front break out on its own and rely on itself."

Upon hearing this, Andrei couldn't help but frown.

He didn't know what General Constantine's expression was like at that moment, but it certainly wasn't pleasant.

What is this operation?
Moscow has clearly stockpiled a large number of troops in the rear, but instead of supporting the front lines at this critical time, it keeps these troops in the rear to defend.

For some reason, this suddenly reminded him of the AI ​​opponents he had encountered when playing certain strategy games in the past.

Despite having a large number of troops at their disposal, they insisted on spreading them out for defense, even leaving a large number of troops to defend areas in the rear that were not yet in contact with the enemy.

In the end, he was always able to gain a local numerical advantage against these humanoids with a small force, and his cities and strongholds were captured time and time again, and his troops were constantly wiped out.

"Alright, when allies are in trouble, we remain unmoved. I wonder what's wrong with the commanders behind us?"

Andrei couldn't help but complain, but General Constantine didn't respond.

"Forget it, don't think too much about it. Let's focus on strengthening our own defenses first. I'm just letting you know. The war over there doesn't really concern us."

After a pause, General Constantine said this to Andrei, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Andrei finally came to his senses.

Indeed, there are some things that are not really suitable to say on the phone, because they can easily be overheard by certain people.

Andrei didn't know what General Constantine originally wanted to say, but from a darker perspective, he suspected that the Tsar might want to use this opportunity to weaken the local power factions!
Kievan Rus' has always been the second largest state in the Cambrian Empire, and its strength has remained second for a long time.

Especially during the Cambrian Empire's emancipation of serfs, Kievan Rus's resistance was very serious; they were not of one mind with the Tsar.

From this perspective, if their local powerful nobles could be weakened, it wouldn't be such a bad thing for the Tsar.

"Alas, these are truly turbulent times!"

The players' air force had already taken off, and they quickly flew over the front-line battlefield, launching airstrikes on several enemy camps in the process.

The Black Hawk Empire's air force doesn't seem to have made much progress yet; at the very least, they haven't been able to replicate any combat aircraft that can be deployed in battle.

Therefore, they simply don't have any good countermeasures against players who move extremely quickly and attack in one wave and then leave.

Even with anti-aircraft guns on the ground, it would be difficult for them to stop the player's air force attack. Ultimately, it is impossible to stop all attacks by simply defending.

As the player's air force continued to penetrate deeper, Andrei also noticed more and more enemy movements.

"It seems that the Northern Army of the Black Hawk Empire is not planning to launch a large-scale offensive?"

Andrei muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled.

Although he had previously dealt a huge blow to General Ron's logistics, it was only an armored army group.

However, judging from the overall situation of the war, the Northern Army did not seem to have any intention of assembling a large number of armored forces.

On the contrary, a significant portion of their armored forces are being redeployed, seemingly to provide support to other fronts.

Andrei summoned his staff and asked them to examine the enemy's situation. "General," they reported, "my analysis suggests the enemy may be preparing for a prolonged siege of the cities in Petrograd Oblast..."

After thinking for a moment, one of the staff officers suddenly looked up and said.

"Because they don't need to launch large-scale offensives, they don't need many armored units, which will naturally be used to support other fronts."

Expected.

Andrei had long anticipated that the enemy would most likely not launch a strong attack on Petrograd, as the terrain there was more suitable for siege.

However, after seeing the enemy's movements, he was still somewhat disappointed.

It's a pity; if the enemy were really willing to launch a forced attack, that would be great.

He could immediately exploit the player's characteristics to turn Petrograd into a semi-city, leaving the enemy stuck there, neither willing to retreat nor able to break through.

When the brutal street fighting begins, his side will be like Stalingrad unfolding ahead of time!

Not long after, the player's air force seemed to have detected some other situations.

Some players seem to have successfully seized an important supply dock on the Black Hawk Army's river. At this moment, they have chosen to garrison the warehouse at the dock and have started a fierce war of attrition with the Black Hawk Army.

When Andrei saw the situation, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Good heavens, what kind of tactic is this? The Four Banks Warehouse?"

It has to be said that the player's actions in front of him felt somewhat familiar to Andrei.

Although they couldn't produce a large number of armored units because they failed to seize a heavy factory nearby, they could still mass-produce gunboats here by relying on the docks behind them.

Utilizing amphibious tanks and rocket launchers on gunboats, their firepower is equally formidable.

The warehouse in front of us was originally converted from an old fortress, and its structure is extremely sturdy.

Once the player captures this area, the Black Hawk Army will be in trouble.

"Ugh, the Black Hawk Down army is really unlucky..."

Andrei figured it out by looking at the players' chat logs.

The Black Hawk Down troops have stored a considerable amount of fuel here, as well as a large quantity of food and winter clothing.

The winter coats aren't urgent; it's not even September yet, and they can easily ship a new batch from China.

However, fuel and food are extremely scarce resources. Without these two things, even the Black Hawk Army, no matter how strong, would not be able to hold out.

Not only that, when the players raided the warehouse, a major general from the Black Hawk Empire happened to be there for an inspection.

I don't know what that general was thinking, suddenly coming to inspect the warehouse. Could it be that he was worried that someone was embezzling?

Anyway, this unlucky guy just happened to be cornered in the warehouse by the player and then captured by the player.

It's unclear whether it's because the general himself is of high value as a prisoner, or because some players are planning to use the general as bait.

Anyway, the players didn't kill him. Instead, they tied him up like a pig being tied up and hung him on top of the warehouse for a while, making an example of him!
"What a pitiful general! I wonder what he's planning to do next? Anyway, this guy's finished!"

When Andrei saw the general's miserable state, he said with some reluctance.

Being captured alive by the enemy in such a sorry state, and even stripped naked and hung up for public display, this guy has successfully made himself a laughing stock in the Black Hawk Army.

If he died in battle, or chose to commit suicide for his country, that would be alright; at least he would still be able to obtain a relatively good honor.

But if he remains in the player's grasp and captured alive, even if he is rescued alive, his future will be bleak, and he might even face a military court!
Thinking of this, Andrei only hated that these players were not within his minimap range, and even more so that he could not share the vision of all players.

Otherwise, he really would have liked to go to the scene and see what was going on.

At this very moment, in the Alexanderrovsk warehouse located on the banks of the Neva River, more and more players are gradually arriving at the warehouse, which has just been turned into a respawn point.

No player knows exactly when the warehouse was built, since none of them care about such background details.

If they examine it closely, they will discover that this warehouse was once a massive fortress built by the Cambrian Empire during its last civil war.

However, due to the end of the civil war and its unsuitable geographical location, the fortress was gradually transformed into a giant warehouse.

When the Black Hawk Army captured this place, the Cambrian Empire was unable to transport a large amount of supplies in time, and a considerable amount of grain ended up in the hands of the Black Hawk Army.

But to their utter surprise, a group of guerrillas, who appeared out of nowhere, sneaked into the warehouse without anyone noticing, and then attacked and occupied it.

In a dark room, Major General Crown, who had come to inspect the manufacturing warehouse but was inexplicably captured, was now being bound together by the player in an extremely humiliating manner.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah!"

He struggled and tried desperately to spit out the gag that had somehow appeared in his mouth, but his saliva spilled all over the floor and he still couldn't get the gag out, since it was held in place by a leather strap.

Beside him, two players watched the unfortunate fellow with smiles on their faces. One of them nudged his teammate and said:

"Alright, alright, you know me so well. I never expected you to be so crazy!"

"Gags and turtle shell bondage, wow, this is truly an eye-opener!"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, and tried to save face by making a desperate attempt to explain:
"Garlic clove toad, you can't say that. I just happened to find this thing while searching a place earlier. I thought it was some kind of rare item."

"After I threw it in my backpack, I forgot about it until now..."

Despite his attempts to defend himself, the news that he knew I, the Celestial Venerable, was involved in the BDSM community had already spread throughout the entire player community due to the rapid dissemination of information among players.

At that moment, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

Just then, from the window in front, a player suddenly shouted:
"Attention! The Black Hawk Army is advancing! They have armored units! Tank hunters, get over here quickly!"

Hearing the commotion, the other players quickly ran forward, and two players equipped with the Tank Hunter Elite Soldier Set carefully crept to the window.

It's unclear whether it was their previous action of publicly denouncing the major general that successfully provoked the Black Hawk Army's anger, or whether the Black Hawk Army was unwilling to part with the large amount of supplies in the warehouse.

At this moment, a large number of Black Hawk soldiers were assembled and were launching a fierce assault on the warehouse in front of them.

Accompanied by a series of whistles, squads of Black Hawk soldiers launched a fierce attack on the warehouse ahead, with several Hunter mechs following behind them.

"Damn it, what's going on? Where did these Cambrian soldiers come from?"

A colonel who was directing the attack couldn't help but curse, "If it weren't for these guys suddenly occupying the warehouse and even capturing one of our major generals, we wouldn't have needed to be urgently transferred here."
They were truly astonished. What were the guards in this warehouse doing? They had been captured by the enemy just like that.
"Colonel, it's said that these Cambrian soldiers were transported here by gunboats on the river..."

"fart!"

Upon hearing this explanation, the colonel retorted without hesitation:

"At most, how many people can they transport with just a few gunboats? There must be at least a thousand garrison troops in this warehouse. It's impossible that they sent hundreds of gunboats!"

"And I'm also puzzled. What are our patrol gunboats on the river doing? Why can't they stop them?"

He was speechless. He never expected that the Cambrian Empire's navy would be so ineffective on the sea, but these guys would actually be useful in the inland waterways.

Of course, this takes into account that the Cambrian Empire's navy was not particularly good at naval warfare, but rather at land warfare.

The occurrence of such abstract events seems much more normal now.

Several infantry guns were pushed out and began to bombard the walls of the warehouse in the distance.

However, because this warehouse was a fortress during the Cambrian Empire's civil war, their artillery fire had negligible effect.

At the very least, until their heavy artillery units are deployed, they will have a hard time achieving effective output with just these infantry guns.

Boom boom boom!
Shells kept pounding against the warehouse walls, and every now and then, soil, stones, and bricks would crack open.

However, overall, their shells were basically useless; the players hiding behind the walls were completely unharmed.

"Well, the Cambrian Empire really used the best materials when they built this fortress. The walls here must be at least a meter thick!"

One player patted the wall he was leaning against and said excitedly.

With such thick walls, he has nothing to fear as long as the enemy doesn't bring over their super artillery!

Of course, even if the enemy brought over super artillery, it wouldn't have much of an impact on them.

At worst, they can just retreat, run to other locations within the fortress, or even go to the underground space of the fortress. It doesn't matter if they die.

They have already set up a respawn point underground in this fortress, so they can immediately crawl out of the respawn point once the shelling ends.

In contrast, the Black Hawk Army's heavy artillery couldn't just stay stuck here forever, could it?

Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat!
A burst of rapid fire rang out as support players, armed with water-cooled machine guns, began firing at the Black Hawk soldiers charging down the street.

Although players can now set up fixed machine gun positions, their engineers haven't set them up here.

Because they weren't short of machine guns at the moment, and fixed machine gun positions were too easy for enemy artillery to target.

A sudden burst of gunfire immediately struck and killed Black Hawk soldiers, but the other Black Hawk soldiers reacted extremely quickly.

They quickly hid behind nearby cover, and could even drag their fallen comrades over.

This alone makes them far superior to most Cambrian armies. When faced with gunfire, most Cambrian soldiers instinctively either lie down or stand still, completely bewildered, far from being able to react so decisively and efficiently.

The player used machine guns to fire, and the Black Hawk Army's machine guns also started firing.

Several heavy machine guns set up at the street corner kept firing, attempting to suppress the player's machine gun firepower in this way.

At the same time, right at the window where the player had just fired, infantry artillery immediately began to concentrate fire in that direction.

In a burst of explosions, the windows were riddled with holes, but the players hiding inside were unharmed.

The fortress walls were so thick that they completely ignored the enemy's infantry artillery.

If they can dodge quickly enough, it will be very difficult for the enemy to take them down.

The two Hunter mechs came to a stop with a thud in the distance, lay down on the ground, and began to bombard this area.

Both of these Hunter mechs are fire support types, meaning they each carry a 120mm mortar on their backs.

The heavy shells slammed into the top of the warehouse, blowing away a mortar position that a player had just set up there.

Seeing the player's corpse fly high into the air, the attacking Black Hawk soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

boom!
A sharp crack suddenly rang out, and a Black Hawk soldier who had accidentally poked half his head out was shot and fell to the ground, his entire skull being ripped off.

The tank hunter, who had been hiding in the shadows, quickly changed his position, then set up his gun again, pulled back the bolt, aimed, and fired.

The enemy Hunter mechs were too far away for him to aim at, but the enemy infantry in front of him could be easily dealt with.

As for what to do about the Hunter mechs in the distance?
Do they really think the fire support from their gunboats on the river is just for show?
As a familiar whistling sound rang out, the Black Hawk soldiers who had been hiding were immediately terrified and turned pale.

Their previous offensive was interrupted by these rocket launchers, and the Black Hawk soldiers suffered extremely heavy casualties when a large number of rockets landed on the charging troops.

However, this time the rocket artillery didn't seem to be aimed at them, but rather at the infantry guns and Hunter mechs further back.

Rockets continued to fall, and although their dispersion caused significant errors, the infantry guns and mechs deployed there were still affected.

The two Hunter mechs were destroyed on the spot, and even several infantry guns were blown to pieces by rocket launchers.

When the four gunboats attacked with rockets together, the 32 rockets fired were enough to turn the area into a sea of ​​fire.

"Oh no, this is absolutely terrible! Why didn't we deploy more troops in this warehouse?"

The colonel watched this scene from behind, muttering curses under his breath.

If it weren't for those incompetent fools losing this warehouse and even capturing a general, they wouldn't need to attack such a strong defensive fortification right now.

It's worth noting that they had already put in a lot of effort to take this place.

Unexpectedly, the enemy recaptured the warehouse not long after it was taken, and the fortress siege seemed to have become even bloodier.

"Sir, should we use some special shells?"

A Black Hawk officer ran over, his eyes flashing with annoyance.

The enemy's defenses in the fortress seemed very strong, and with artillery support from the rear, their attacking forces were firmly suppressed, resulting in two unsuccessful attacks.

This made him quite angry and embarrassed!

"Sure, let's give it a try. I wonder if they're wearing gas masks?"

The colonel thought for a moment, nodded, and then agreed to this action.

Their Black Hawk Army doesn't have many rules when it comes to attacking.

Under normal circumstances, they do not use special shells because they are unnecessary; ordinary shells are sufficient to eliminate the vast majority of enemies.

However, the current situation clearly cannot be categorized into ordinary circumstances. In that case, let's use poison gas!
Mustard gas shells were loaded into the newly arrived infantry guns, and then the guns began to bombard the fortress again.

At first, the players didn't think much of it, but when they saw the shells explode and a green area marked as poison gas appeared in front of them, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Holy crap! These bastards are ruthless, they used poison gas so quickly?"

Players gasped in alarm as they quickly put on gas masks or fled the area where the toxic gas was spreading.

Perhaps because Andrei's soldiers mainly used the Battlefield 1 template, they perceived all poison gas grenades as releasing thick green smoke.

This also made them more likely to detect poison gas than ordinary soldiers, and their reaction was also faster once they detected it.

"It is impolite not to retaliate. Since they used poison gas against us, we will use poison gas against them in return!"

The players who had just run over had a ferocious smile on their faces, but unfortunately, their smiles were hidden under their gas masks and could not be seen clearly.

Everyone has poison gas grenades, although in Battlefield 1, the mortars used by players cannot directly release poison gas grenades.

However, with Andrei, these mortars could release poison gas and smoke shells; after all, he had even developed these types of ammunition.

Now that the enemy has already used it, what else do they have to consider?
So, just as the Black Hawk Army was hoping that the players would suffer heavy casualties from the poison gas bombs, they suddenly heard a burst of cannon fire coming from the top of the warehouse.

Immediately afterwards, mortar shells rained down on every corner of the street, and large plumes of green smoke rose from the shells, quickly forming a poisonous circle.

(End of this chapter)
