Behind the counter, the watch shop salesperson listened to their conversation in silence.
It seems like what they said is correct?
But why don’t I have the same sense of loss and crisis as them?
why?
Chapter 141 Artillery Battle
A slap in the face always comes unusually quickly.
Beidou signed an agreement with them, loaded the goods, and dragged the communication cable from Haiji Island back to Liyue. Right after that, Jiang Ming received an urgent call from Bayun Island.
The shogunate army began to use elemental cannons to bombard Fujikado Fort through the narrow gap of the Wuxiang Blade.
That was the latest electronic equipment production center. The most accurate shell of the Shogunate Army had landed in the factory yard and blew down a section of the wall. Fortunately, it did not hit the factory building.
At present, the workers in the Tengdouzhai factory are in panic, and the local garrison has arranged emergency shelter. Currently, the production activities of the Tengdouzhai factory have been stagnant, and a large number of materials have been scrapped.
A "?" slowly appeared above Jiang Ming's head.
It turns out that the shogunate army would really touch their own cash cow.
"No, where did they get so many cannons? Did they just rely on their craftsmen to make them? Where did they get so many people who can use elemental cannons? And what do they want?"
Jiang Ming frowned as he looked at the telegram from Bayin Island. He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why the Shogunate army wanted to attack them.
You said he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, it's not like they wouldn't cooperate, so why would he suddenly start taking action?
Didn’t we cooperate well with each other in the previous few times?
You said he has come to his senses and is determined to deal with this mess, so why not just report it directly to the general?
Otherwise, the Shogunate army would not be able to defeat them with these elemental cannons.
What is the purpose of this confusing behavior of neither high nor low? Are you complaining about having too many mouths to feed and coming here to throw your head away?
There must have been something fishy going on inside the shogunate that they were unaware of, which is why they did such an irrational thing.
But for some reason, Iwasaki Masaru, who was in Inazuma Castle, did not report anything at all, and there was no movement from the Coral Palace Intelligence Department and the Final Command. They did not receive any intelligence in advance.
"This is not right. Unless all our intelligence networks have surrendered to the enemy or collapsed, and the Sumeruban will no longer help us, it is impossible for us to not receive any information at all. As far as I know, Kujo Takayuki is not capable of this."
He suspected it was the Fatui.
After all, justice may be absent, but the Fatui will never be.
Only the Fatui have the ability to deceive both of their intelligence agencies at the same time.
"Our top priority right now is to come up with a response plan. This was only the first round of shelling. Fortunately, it didn't hit the factory or cause casualties. It's hard to say what will happen next."
Xinhai rubbed his eyebrows and also felt a severe headache.
These things keep happening one after another without any end. Why is it so difficult for them to develop themselves and grow crops?
"Fight back. We didn't break the rules first. We should fight back in kind. At least destroy their turrets or artillery positions first. Then contact Inazuma Castle and find out what happened right away. Otherwise, we won't know what to do next."
Jiang Ming decisively gave his opinion, and Xinhai nodded in agreement.
They both looked at Goro.
"We have deployed three artillery positions in Tengdou Fort, with a total of 18 75mm guns, ready to fire back at any time. In addition, the Swordfish Commando is also in Tengdou Fort."
"Take action immediately and destroy the enemy's artillery first. Also, let Swordfish go to the south to scout and see what's going on."
As several people clarified the combat strategy, the signalmen began to get busy, and the order to counterattack was transmitted to the garrison command post in Tengdou Fort through the radio.
"Damn it, I finally figured it out. Have you figured out the position of the enemy's position?"
"I've roughly calculated it, but I can't guarantee it."
"We'll attack once we figure it out. We'll cover with firepower and move our positions right away. Isn't this just an artillery battle? We have vehicles and ballistic computers. Are we still afraid of him? Beat him up!!!"
For no reason, I was drinking milk tea and humming a song when I was suddenly bombed by a shell. I was in a panic. Who could bear this anger?
"Yes!"
The messenger quickly passed the order down, and soon, several positions began to fire at the shogunate army's artillery position south of the Wuxiang Blade Space.
In just three minutes, eighteen cannons and more than three hundred shells fell around the shogunate's artillery positions.
Afterwards, the artillery was quickly mounted on a truck and left its original position.
The area around the shogunate's artillery positions was in ruins, but unexpectedly, a considerable number of them were not destroyed after the bombing.
An elemental shield blocked the attack.
"It seems that what the gentleman said is right. This thing is indeed useful. Unfortunately, it can't last too long and can't withstand too fierce firepower."
The shogunate soldiers near the artillery position were filled with fear.
The earth-shaking, deafening feeling was enough to make people tremble even under the protection of the elemental shield. The thin, transparent elemental shield made people feel like it would shatter at any time.
They looked at the unsupported turrets not far away. The elemental cannons themselves were blown to pieces. The people who were originally responsible for operating these turrets had disappeared, and only occasional fragments appeared on the ground.
Imagine if their turret elemental shields failed to hold up...
The soldiers of the Shogunate army shuddered involuntarily.
"It's our turn now. Cheer up, everyone! Find out where the other party is!"
"Yes."
The soldiers of the Shogunate army returned to their original posts trembling with fear, and those responsible for calculating the parameters began to take out their abacuses to calculate the trajectory.
It was not until about a quarter of an hour later that they completed the relevant preparations, adjusted the parameters of the elemental cannon, began to fill the interior with elemental force, and prepared to open fire.
"fire!"
As the order was given, a flash of purple flame appeared on the shogunate army's artillery position, and the elemental shells left a purple trail in the air before landing on the Kaigi army's original artillery position.
"Hu~Hu~" The two people who were responsible for using the evil eye to power the turret were now panting and enduring the pain in their bodies.
Their right arms, which had been directly exposed to the turret function, were now trembling slightly, completely powerless and unable to exert any force.
"Come again!"
This time they switched to the left arm to take on the responsibility.
"boom--"
The two of them could no longer stand this time.
"Carry it away, next group!"
One shot in the left hand, one shot in the right hand, and then he was carried back to the hospital to receive a commendation. This is not an exaggeration or a ridicule, but an accurate description of the person who uses the evil eye to power the elemental cannon.
It has a strong impact and is very labor-intensive, but it is also very powerful, far more powerful than the 75mm howitzer used by Jiang Ming.
——Even though all these powerful shells fell on the rutted ground, they were in vain.
At this time, the commander of the Second Regiment widened his eyes when he saw the previous artillery position being attacked by elemental shells.
Pick up the telescope, look at the original position that was attacked, and then look at the enemy's position displayed by the ballistic computer.
"How is it possible? All the attacks came from the enemy positions that we have already covered? Is this a ghost?"
Chapter 142 Fear of Insufficient Firepower
One side has strong mobility and high dodge ability, while the other side has thick shield and can withstand heavy damage. On the Bayun Island, the two sides engaged in an artillery battle.
As for the front-line troops, the Shogunate Army used unknown means to ensure that their elemental artillery could survive the fierce attack of the Kaigi Army and even launch a counterattack.
At present, the intensity of the battle between the two sides is still limited to long-range artillery bombardment, but the changes in the shogunate army are seriously beyond their expectations.
They could not rule out the possibility that the shogunate army had other means, and this was just a exploratory attack.
Perhaps other means of the shogunate army would pose a more serious threat to them.
This news was reported as quickly as possible, and to be on the safe side, the front-line troops began to request reconnaissance and support.
Afterwards, according to Goro's order, part of the artillery units stationed on Kaigi Island were incorporated into the Second Regiment stationed at Fujidou Fort, and the rest of the troops were prepared for battle. Secondly, the Swordfish Commando entered the area south of the Wuxiang Blade Space to carry out reconnaissance and positioning tasks.
"Head, this is it."
The commandos stopped halfway up the mountain.
"We are about five minutes ahead of the standard time. We have to wait about 15 minutes before our artillery organizes a round of artillery fire, which will last about three minutes. We need to observe this process."
The view here is quite good, just enough to see the elemental cannons of the Shogunate Army firing, and the distance is far enough so there is no need to worry about accidental injuries.
"Hide where you are and let's see what's going on."
The captain took out a telescope and looked in the direction of the Shogunate's elemental artillery position.
The recorder nearby replaced the telephoto lens on the color camera in his hand and began to take pictures of the shogunate army's artillery.
Several others even started setting up movie cameras, preparing to record the event in video form.
So far, they have been quite successful. They haven't encountered any patrolling soldiers or anything on the road, and no one has discovered them.
"It's weird. There are craters everywhere, but there's nothing happening around these cannons. It's like something is blocking the shells."
"Isn't it an elemental shield? I heard that people who hold the Eye of God can use this thing to block bullets and artillery shells. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"How could there be so many people with the Eye of God in the Shogunate Army? Even if there were, do you think that an elemental shield that could block artillery shells over such a large area could be made by just anybody? How could there be so many here?"
The Swordfish Commandos didn't know how to explain this abnormal phenomenon.
They were halfway up the mountain, watching the Shogunate army fire two shots and lift two people, fire two shots and lift two people.
"If they continue at this speed, I'm afraid we won't have to take action at all. The ones who kill the most people from the shogunate army will be the shogunate army themselves."
The people in the team couldn't help but complain.
It would be bad enough to use people as consumables for firing artillery, but the shells fired never hit the target at all.
"Not necessarily. Look at those who went up to provide energy. They are small and thin, and their actions have no military discipline. Some of them even want to escape from the battlefield. I think they are not the shogunate army at all, but just temporarily recruited or even captured strong men... Forget it, strong men are not even considered as consumables for the evil eye."
"Even if it's consumables, they've created so many casualties, can they handle it?"
"It's hard to say. The Tianling Fengxing have always been rude to people. Otherwise, can you and I go to Haiqi Island?"
Time passed little by little as everyone talked.
A little over fifteen minutes later, a sharp sound was heard in the sky, and flames began to explode on the Shogunate’s positions.
In the fierce fire and smoke of the explosion, the Swordfish Commandos vaguely saw a lavender transparent barrier appearing around the artillery positions.
The shells that landed on these barriers were directly detonated by the barriers, and the shock waves and fragments of the explosion were unable to penetrate the lavender barrier.
However, from time to time, the barriers of individual artillery batteries would disappear after a flash, and then the falling shells would completely destroy the artillery battery.
"Is it really an elemental shield???"
The captain put down the telescope, rubbed his eyes carefully, and observed the situation on the position again.
It was still that barrier that blocked the artillery attack.
His eyes are not blurry!
On the other side, the recorder pressed the shutter button "click, click", and the set-up movie camera faithfully recorded all the scenes.
Three minutes later, the shelling stopped on time.
When the smoke cleared, people saw that there was an inconspicuous small box around the turret, which was being powered by several people.
"It seems that this thing is the key to the Shogunate army's creation of such a large-scale elemental shield. Take a picture of it quickly, and then observe their subsequent actions, and then we will retreat."
They watched as the shogunate troops used abacuses to readjust the trajectory of their missiles until they opened fire again and the commando leader ordered a retreat.
The operation of these batteries, at least they have recorded it.
Judging from the way they calculated with an abacus and their reaction speed, the Shogunate army would find it difficult to hit their howitzers that were being pulled by trucks.
I was afraid that the shogunate army would change its strategy to shelling the factory area, and the priceless equipment and materials in the factory would not be taken away for a while.
The commando team safely withdrew to Tengdou Fort and returned to the forward command post.
The information that the Shogunate Army's artillery had elemental shields and that these shields could be penetrated was immediately reported to the Second Regiment Command via telegram.
The filmed materials and videotapes were loaded onto military vehicles and sent to the headquarters.
