Chapter 609: Besieged City (I)

The priest grabbed the magic communication element, his hands trembling with fear.

"This is the 1st Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Holy Cross Mixed Division. We see that we are under attack from the 4th Battalion of the 1st Regiment..."

The 203 heavy hammers representing fire fell, and the dust explosion clouds formed a line, like ink marks drawn on the ground with a brush.

The dark gray ink marks fell, turning everything on the path into part of this scar on the earth.

"The 4th Battalion of the 1st Regiment, the 5th Battalion of the 1st Regiment, the 6th Battalion of the 1st Regiment, no response..."

The magic communication element in the priest's hand flickered, transmitting his information to the command post ten kilometers away, staring at the furrows plowed in the distance and trembling.

A battalion, fifteen centurion teams, and six divine artillery guns disappeared from his sight in less than ten seconds.

In a blink of an eye, the marching team was left with only broken flags and broken armor fragments.

They were still 10 kilometers away from the enemy's front-line base.

"What the hell is that..."

The hot shell was pulled out as the mechanical structure rotated, and the officer waved the hand signal flag.

The rotating gear pushed a new shell into the chamber.

203mm barrel heavy artillery.

Each shell weighed 110 kilograms, equivalent to the weight of two lighter adults, more than twice the weight of the 152mm artillery, and could crush the enemy within 35 kilometers and their equipment into powder.

Humans no longer have a way to quickly load this heavy artillery, and need to use mechanical devices to assist loading and fire quickly.

But the recoil generated by the heavy artillery when firing is also amazing. The huge recoil generated by the firing can even shake up the sand and dust on the ground, leaving a significant dent on the load-bearing frame on the ground.

Every operator must wear earmuffs in accordance with the regulations to prevent their eardrums from being injured by the shock wave generated by the shells.

It can only be used for fortress defense and land-based weapons, and a land-based platform is needed to bear the huge recoil generated when firing. The airship will be easily damaged by the backlash of this heavy artillery when firing.

Naval warships can still rely on water to unload, while airships can only rely on their own bodies to absorb all the backlash.

These twelve 203mm heavy artillery on the ground are all experimental technical equipment of standard mining. They are too heavy and have too much recoil to move forward with the air force. Ji Lin can only send this batch of experimental technical weapons to the ground with regret.

He originally wanted to use this heavy artillery to smash the six frontline fortresses of the Church to pieces, but now it seems that heavy attack aircraft are still needed to drop bombs.

The frontline supplies are placed in the center as defensive weapons and land-based fortress artillery.

The land-based fortress artillery can release energy to the earth as much as possible, allowing the earth to unload the recoil generated by firing.

The signal flag was waved, and the fortress heavy artillery roared, and twelve shock waves shook the smoke and dust.

The falcons circled in the sky peacefully, the cavalrymen soothed their frightened horses, and the hunters had already left with their sensitive alien hounds.

A new gray ink mark was added to the already dark earth.

Like an invisible hand waving a pen on the earth.

This artillery used to destroy fortresses and permanent fortifications now points its firepower at the infantry still in action, receives firepower information provided by the reconnaissance airship through radio, and adjusts the muzzle.

The high-speed airship used for reconnaissance only carries automatic machine guns to provide the minimum self-defense firepower and will not pose any threat to the ground, but when they appear on the battlefield for artillery reconnaissance...

Soon, other forms of attack will arrive.

Just as you see a drone on the battlefield... If it is a suicide drone rushing towards you, it means that you only need to deal with it to get a moment of respite.

But if it is a type of artillery reconnaissance drone that is attacking and staring at you, you, your squad, and your entire wing.

It may be a big trouble.

Reloaded, fire again.

The shock wave and shrapnel swept across the earth, sweeping out a hill on the hard ground.

The pen fell, and a battalion was eliminated.

In order to avoid being harassed by the assassins and shadow troops of the coalition forces, the Church chose to advance in a dense formation, so that they would not have to worry about being defeated one by one by the enemy's assassins.

The stealth troops hiding in the shadows of the coalition forces brought a lot of trouble to their actions.

According to the original plan, they would disperse when they were fifteen kilometers away from the coalition front line. Set up camp and build a defense line.

According to the information they received, fifteen kilometers is the enemy's attack limit. No matter what happens at this distance, the troops of the Church can react in time.

A wide enough isolation zone can allow the holy army with wings to maneuver around, intercept the enemy's outbound troops, and be ready to deal with the enemy's floating ship troops at any time.

After completing the preparations, a mixed force of more than 100,000 people besieged the fortress, bombarded and attacked with divine artillery, and used a large number of troops to pull the enemy into a bloody grinder of hand-to-hand combat...forcing them to lose the advantage of long-range weapons.

As they learned from experience, the enemy is also human. Although they can come back countless times, they will also bleed and die.

"As long as we invest more troops than they do, and let them revive to catch up with the consumption, we can win the battle. This is why they are always willing to fight a large-scale strategic decisive battle with us."

The strategic plan is perfect.

"Ten kilometers..."

But after they stepped into the 10-kilometer line, the enemy told them with bloody reality... It was absolutely not safe here.

This place changed from the original isolation zone to a killing field of artillery.

On the first day of entering the 10-kilometer line, the Vatican troops lost 15,000 soldiers due to artillery bombardment.

They used their heads to catch the wolf's stick and withstand the pressure of the fire.

The use of people forced this batch of experimental heavy artillery to produce mechanical fatigue due to long-term firing, and had to stop the rhythm of self-fire, and consumed most of the artillery shells in reserve.

The first batch of 150,000 troops still had 100,000 people who gritted their teeth, sang praises, and arrived at the original first 15-kilometer defense line under the artillery fire.
