The first batch of Type 59 land-based ships almost all rammed into enemy land-based ships, which was the most effective method of impact that the Type 59 pilots found.

Traditional land-based ships have no ability to withstand a frontal impact, and a frontal impact can jam their propulsion system. If the impact is well-placed, it is not impossible for it to detonate something.

To do this, we need a group of soldiers who are willing to sacrifice, have strong ideals, and never retreat.

Terra Red Army succeeded; every Type 59 rammed into an enemy landship, or at least a medium-sized one.

If a heavy land-based warship is paralyzed, the situation becomes even more dire. In such a fiercely contested environment, there is absolutely no possibility of repair. Being stuck in place at this point is tantamount to a death sentence.

With a large number of land-based ships on the front lines paralyzed, the land-based ships behind the Yan army inevitably began to slow down. They could not crash into the wreckage and had to find a way to detour. But at this critical moment, a large number of Type 59s broke into the Yan army's ranks, and then the most courageous scene in the history of land-based ship battles on the Terra continent appeared.

One Type 59 ship after another charged into the enemy lines and opened fire on the enemy's land-based ships when the two sides were less than 200 meters apart.

A distance of 200 meters, a 155mm threshold—no land-based warship could withstand that.

The battlefield environment changed from a chaotic mess to a chaotic situation. In this state of disarray, the Yan army's land-based ships were completely unable to adapt. On the contrary, the smaller Type 59 ships thrived, weaving through the enemy forces like sieves.

The two Type 59 ships, numbered 110 and 119, were the first land-based ships to charge towards the flagship of the Yanlong Army. However, they were unlucky. The reaction speed of the surrounding enemy forces was unmatched by ordinary Yanlong forces. One was capsized on the spot, and the other had its turret blown off and was paralyzed in place. There were no more Type 59 ships after that.

At this point, the battle devolved into a chaotic melee, but it was clear to everyone that the Red Army was the one losing.

Because by this point in the battle, only 29 Type 59 ships remained that had charged into the enemy lines. They could only create chaos and could not deliver the decisive blow.

This scene caused Talulah immense heartache.

"Damn it! I wish we had more bullet hell-level content!"

But at this point, nothing could be said. Talulah and her staff could only watch as the main force of the Flame Army gradually regained order, while they were powerless to do anything but watch their comrades sacrifice themselves one by one, and then the enemy moved toward Meteor Dragon Gorge.

ended……

boom!

Chapter 235: You little rascal, your worker grandpa's here!

(I ran into some things that need to be taken care of, but I can't stop updating, just less often. Please don't mind ε=('ο`))) Sigh)

The massive explosion and countless rockets streaking across the sky once again engulfed the battlefield in flames.

At this moment, not only Yan Jun's side was dumbfounded, but even Talulah was dumbfounded.

Talulah looked at the staff officer beside her: "Do we also have artillery units?"

The staff officers were also dumbfounded. They did have a lot of artillery with them before, but those towed heavy artillery were used to defend cities. For example, after capturing the Jiuqu Plain, they would station these artillerymen in various areas and then give the Yan army, who came looking for trouble, a surprise.

But at this moment, these large, immobile machines actually managed to fire shells to the front lines.

The closest of them is 100 kilometers away. It's understandable that self-propelled artillery can move here, but how did towed heavy artillery manage to do that?

Just then, a reconnaissance plane flying behind transmitted this image back.

Along the long road behind, a large number of civilian machines, like ants carrying food, were transporting large pieces of equipment to the launch site. The most numerous of these were tractors, along with a large number of transport vehicles. These vehicles moved slowly but steadily forward in a series of tractions. In this way, the heavy towed artillery arrived at the front line.

"Command, this is the 37th Heavy Artillery Division. We have entered the firing position. Please designate the target!"

The previous artillery bombardment was carried out roughly by drones, but to truly realize the value of these heavy artillery pieces, the frontline command post needs to conduct artillery bombardment according to actual needs.

In any case, this place is 20 kilometers away from the front line, and we need the coordinates for artillery fire.

Only after the heavy artillery division commander explained the situation did the people in the command post realize what had happened.

Early in the battle, Talulah knew that barrage-level firepower alone would not be enough. At this stage, the only weapons available to supplement firepower were a small number of self-propelled artillery pieces and a large number of towed heavy artillery pieces. These heavy artillery pieces had been deployed on defensive positions, and it would be too late to bring them over to engage the main force of the Yan Army. Moreover, with such a large-scale earthwork operation, any enemy scout who wasn't blind would know how to avoid it, making any pre-planned ambush pointless.

Of course, if there's enough time, it's not a problem, but the problem now is that there isn't enough time.

Ultimately, Talulah could only do her best and leave the rest to fate, preparing her heavy artillery units. Of course, it would be best if they could reach the front lines, but if they couldn't, there was nothing she could do. After all, these 300mm caliber weapons weighed over 25 tons, and since they were designed to be fortress cannons for building defensive lines, they were related to the fortress cannons on Kazdel's side. Once deployed, they basically didn't need to consider mobility.

You can't complain that it's too heavy; after all, it wasn't meant for you to drag around the mountain. Everyone has their own specialty.

Also, it will take time for them to unfold, so what will we do then?

But there's a saying: many hands make light work.

Just as the commanders and soldiers of the heavy artillery division were thinking about how to transport the heavy artillery, someone suggested that they should request tractors or transport vehicles from the villagers. As for the deployment of the positions, we can use Originium Arts to solve the problem. Although even if the ground is compacted by Originium Arts, it will break down after three shots at most, it is still better than having no way. Moreover, we have special cement, which can reduce the consumption of the casters.

After making the decision, the commanders and soldiers of the heavy artillery division immediately began to act, and then encountered an even bigger problem.

They are short-staffed.

Even if you manage to borrow enough transport vehicles from the local villagers, how will you handle the drivers and the loading and unloading?

Therefore, the division commander decided to recruit workers locally and provide the villagers with temporary treatment and compensation for injuries or deaths equivalent to those of soldiers in the army.

"Commander, we've only been here a short time. Do you think the local people will be willing to go to the battlefield with us?"

"Do your best."

To be honest, the division commander himself wasn't very confident, but when they started recruiting, people from the surrounding villages and towns who knew how to drive vehicles came running over.

Admittedly, the Red Army had only been here for a short time, barely a month at most, but the changes in the area during that month were undeniable.

In particular, the opening of granaries and the distribution of grain gave many people who were on the verge of starvation due to the exploitation of local landlords and powerful figures a chance to survive. In the eyes of the Yan gentry, they were cunning and unruly lowly people who never knew how to pay taxes honestly, but if someone treated them sincerely, the people would respond with the purest emotions.

Thus, a force completely outside the Red Army's organizational structure appeared out of thin air. Of course, the knowledge level of the Red Army commanders and soldiers was also very important in order to command such a large number of people. After years of efforts, the Red Army soldiers' education level has basically reached the standard of primary school graduation and junior high school. This is an unprecedented feat in the entire Terra continent.

The awakening of public wisdom enables many orders to be implemented efficiently. As long as everyone's initiative can be stimulated, the organization of the entire system will increase dramatically.

They were certainly not suited for fighting on the front lines, but as logistics personnel, they completely outclassed civilian laborers in any other country at that time.

Relying on the strength of the broad masses of people, the Red Army's least mobile garrison heavy artillery division appeared in a position it shouldn't have been at a crucial juncture, delivering the most cordial greetings to the enemy.

"Skyline System, maximum power! Charge!"

Meng Wu was completely unable to remain calm at this point. Under such intense firepower, the Tianqing system had already experienced localized overload, which was a precursor to full-scale overload. Once the Tianqing system collapsed, everyone would be doomed under this density of firepower.

Thinking of this, Meng Wu could only pray silently: hoping that the divine power from beyond the realm could protect them and help them escape their predicament.

Fortunately, the Type 59s that had charged into the front line were almost all destroyed, and the other Type 59s could not break through. As long as they pushed aside the land-based ship wreckage blocking their way, their journey home would be unobstructed.

The elite land-based ships of the Flame Dragon Army pushed aside the burning wreckage, but what they didn't know was that deadly ambushes remained among the debris.

Number 119 was one of the two Type 59 land-based ships that had previously charged the flagship of the Yanlong Army. Number 110 was capsized, while Number 119 had its turret blown off. Now, only the hull of the ship lies in a pile of ruins, looking no different from the surrounding wreckage.

But in the twisted compartment, a blood-soaked figure climbed onto the cockpit, pulled away his lifeless comrade, started the engine, and moved forward four steps!

He wasn't a soldier, but a worker technician who had been called in. But now, he was a soldier!

"You little brat, your worker grandpa's here!"

Chapter 236: Destroying the Flame Dragon

(Double update today, (~ ̄▽ ̄)~)

The sudden attack by No. 119 threw the entire Yanlong Army flagship into chaos.

At this moment, the two sides were too close, less than 100 meters apart. According to the trajectory of No. 119, it would crash into the most vulnerable track system of the Yanlong Army flagship. In any case, it was a heavy iron block weighing over 2,000 tons. Since the turret was gone, No. 119 was actually moving faster. Under such an impact, the flagship would be instantly paralyzed, and it might even cause other internal damage.

"Fire! Secondary guns fire! Stop him!"

A dense barrage of bullets swept over, but an embarrassing thing happened: the main guns couldn't hit them, and the secondary guns were ineffective.

The Type 59's frontal armor was already very thick, equivalent to the main armor of a medium-sized land battleship. Since the Type 119 no longer has a turret, its height has been reduced by almost half. Land battleships don't have gun depression on their main guns. They were designed from the beginning as land battleships. What warship would use gun depression on its main guns?

As a result, everyone could only watch helplessly as No. 119, like a raging rocket, crashed into the lower body of the Flame Dragon Army's flagship.

"No!!!!!!!!"

Amid Meng Wu's mournful cries and the massive explosion, the Yanlong Army's flagship had its entire track system overturned. The violent impact caused severe internal deformation, with several important drive shafts jammed or even deformed. However, the flagship's forward inertia remained, resulting in it becoming completely immobile after the violent braking and collision.

"Damage control! Send damage control to repair it! Hurry up!"

At this moment, Meng Wu was like a beast that had lost its mind. However, it was clear to everyone that this was not damage that could be repaired in an emergency. As for towing, given the flagship's tonnage, at least twenty medium-heavy land-based ships would be needed. The problem now was whether the shields of the Sky-Piercing System could hold out until other land-based ships came to tow the flagship. Even if they could, the enemy would not let them go so easily.

After all, this tiger is now lame. Having witnessed the power of the Sky Guardian System, it's impossible for the community not to have designs on it. Once it falls into enemy hands, everything will be over.

Then the staff officer beside him spoke up: "General, please make a decision as soon as possible."

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of self-destruction; even if it destroys the Skybreaker system, it can't fall into enemy hands.

But Meng Wu roared, "Of course I know that! But even if we self-destruct, the Tianqing System won't be destroyed. That thing is from beyond the realm, an indestructible artifact. Do you understand? We must take it back now, at all costs!"

Another staff officer immediately said, "In that case, let's disassemble it and take it with us. There must be a main body, right?"

Then Meng Wu rewarded the staff officer with a large slit.

"Idiot! When we dismantle the machine, the Skybreaker system's shield will be gone. How are we supposed to defend against the Red Bandits' air force then!"

Well, at this point everyone realized that there was no solution to this problem.

"Order the other land-based ships to converge on us. Tow the flagship back at all costs, understand? Otherwise, His Majesty will not forgive us. Go now, immediately!"

"Yes!"

Even though I know the chances of it being feasible are slim, it's the only way, and I have to make it work.

But at this moment, the shield of the Skybreaker system became noticeably unstable.

In the sky, the Red Army's reconnaissance planes were constantly monitoring the enemy's situation. Upon discovering the abnormality of the shield, they immediately reported it.

"This is Red Eagle One, this is Red Eagle One, headquarters please respond, headquarters please respond."

"This is our stronghold. Red Eagle One, please proceed."

"The enemy's energy shield is malfunctioning! The enemy's energy shield is malfunctioning! I see it! There's a vulnerability in their energy shield! This is a perfect opportunity for an airstrike! This is a perfect opportunity for an airstrike!"

"Found the base. Immediately organize an air strike. Red Eagle One, be careful to avoid enemy air defense fire."

"Red Eagle One received."

At this moment, more than fifty Il-2 helicopters took off from the land-based carrier waiting in the rear, twenty of which carried five tons of heavy bombs, ready to deliver a final blow to the stubborn enemy.

When the Red Army's air power appeared on the battlefield, the enemy below became even more panicked. By this time, the energy shield was riddled with holes, and many shells could penetrate it. The appearance of the air force, capable of precision strikes, clearly aimed at the flagship, forced the Yan Army to fight desperately.

Many elite mages from the Flame Army stepped forward, using continuous Originium Arts for air defense, creating a dense barrage of bullets in the low-altitude area. If an attack aircraft touched one of these points, it would detonate a large area.

Such spells consume a great deal of energy, and may even allow Originium Crystals to take advantage of the vulnerability, leading to acute infection.

But things had come to this point, and if they didn't fight desperately, everyone would die; Yan Jun had no other choice.

Both sides were at their last gasp, fighting for their last breath.

The Il-2's attacks are like a storm, but attack aircraft attacks are typically launched in one go. After one wave, the attack trajectory must be replanned. And a five-ton Grand Slam can only be carried by one Il-2.

Due to the enemy's stubborn resistance, half of the fifty Il-2s were lost in the first wave of attacks, but bombs still fell on the flagship, one of which hit its main gun. Although it did not explode, it severely damaged the flagship's firepower, allowing the other surviving Type 59s to continue advancing.
