Chapter 972 They are coming! !
Between the land of swamps and the land of ghosts.
There is a desolate land that does not belong to any country.
At this time, a large number of black-painted armored vehicles were driving into this place that was usually rarely visited.
At the same time, heavy howitzers with straight barrels have also been placed at the front at a distance of twenty meters from each other.
Its huge and deep muzzles were all pointed in the direction of the Swamp Country.
At this time, the three division commanders under Sakaski, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, Lieutenant General Dauberman, and Lieutenant General Fabien, were gathered in this military tent that served as the command room, but the atmosphere seemed very depressing. and dull.
Nahasiu, who was standing behind Ghost Spider, looked at the foul faces of these lieutenant generals speechlessly.
The adjutants looked at each other and shook their heads slightly to express their helplessness.
Here's the thing.
When General Akainu assigned combat tasks, he ordered Lieutenant General Charlotte Owen's Third Division and Lieutenant General Dalmecia's Fifth Division to go to the frontline battlefield to fight against the demon army.
At the same time, Lieutenant General Dauberman's Second Division and Lieutenant General Fabien's Fourth Division were responsible for deploying artillery arrays to provide artillery support to the front line.
Lieutenant General Ghost Spider's First Division serves as a reserve army and can only be deployed when the frontline battle situation requires it.
The key reason for General Akainu is that although it has been proven that Armed Haki can cause damage to demons, people with Devil Fruit abilities have an advantage.
It just so happened that Lieutenant General Charlotte Owen and Lieutenant General Dalmecia, one was a superhuman type user with the heat fruit ability, and the other was an animal type user with the dog fruit ability.
Not only that.
General Akainu also requested that the Devil Fruit users from each division be temporarily transferred to the command of the 3rd Division and the 50th Division.
In this way, the three lieutenant generals, Ghost Spider, felt uncomfortable.
There are so many demons right in front of you, but you can only fire cannons from behind?
"Hey, please bear with me a little longer. I heard that those artillery pieces will be transferred away soon. From now on, this kind of artillery unit will no longer belong to our main battle corps."
Lieutenant General Dauberman, who had a smoking cigar in his mouth, let out a long sigh.
When he was in the navy, he actually liked artillery, especially the scene where he stood on a warship and watched his own artillery fire blow up the pirate ships and sink them to the bottom of the sea.
Lieutenant General Fabien said in a deep voice: "The main reason is that the Swamp Country is too small. There are already nearly 20,000 ninja coalition troops, plus those tide demons. If we rush in swarm again, it will be too crowded."
"But we can't let the ninja coalition retreat immediately. The demon army's offensive is coming one after another. Doing so is likely to cause a major rout, so it's better to let them continue to stabilize the defense line, and we first send some troops to take over in an orderly manner. Shou."
But Lieutenant General Ghost Spider remained silent, smoking his cigar expressionlessly.
To be honest, this is what Nahasiu feels most uncomfortable about.
When he was in the Imperial Army, General Brand strictly ordered not to smoke during meetings, so he didn't feel anything yet.
But these world government generals like smoking too much, especially cigars, causing every meeting to become smoky.
"Report!"
At this time, a messenger walked in quickly and shouted: "The survey corps has sent back the coordinate data, and the calculation team is calculating the shooting points. Please give instructions!"
"When the artillery squads are ready, let them carry out annihilation shooting and directly fire two base Tianyuan bombs."
Ghost Spider suddenly spoke and gave an order.
Lieutenant General Dauberman and Lieutenant General Fabien also had no objections.
Because the other party was not only the commander of the First Division, but also General Akainu did say before leaving that the rear was dominated by ghost spiders.
"yes!"
The messenger hurriedly left after hearing the order.
at the same time.
Nahashu thought secretly: "The large-scale confrontation between the world government and the devil is finally about to begin."
The Swamp Country on the other side.
The Ninja Alliance are still struggling to support themselves.
It's just that their chakra is no longer enough to use large-scale combined ninjutsu, so they can only rely on detonating talismans to barely prevent the demons from approaching.
However, there are not many detonating symbols left.
It's not that the reserves of the major ninja villages have been exhausted, but that the country of marsh is too far away from the major ninja villages. Even if supplies are replenished from the nearest Sunagakure Village and Iwagakure Village, they can't keep up with the consumption rate of the detonating charms.
Fortunately, the return defense of Rasa, Uchiha Fugaku, Onoki and others shared a large part of the pressure.
With the cooperation of Sand Gold, Amaterasu, and Dust Release, an unknown number of middle and lower level demons were killed.
It's just that the three of them are not Senju Hashirama after all, and their chakra content is slightly more than that of ordinary people.
After fighting until now, even ninjas like them with 'kage level' strength have exhausted their energy.
Among them, Uchiha Fugaku's situation is the most serious. Not only has his chakra bottomed out, but his eyes have also become slightly moldy due to excessive use of child arts.
"This is troublesome. I can no longer use Chuchen Escape."
Ohnoki floated to Luo Sha's side and said in a serious tone.
"I'm about the same." Luo Sha sighed: "Are these demons really endless?"
Ohnoki shook his head: "Probably not. The Styx demon mentioned before that they are the demons on the first level of Hades. There can't be infinite demons on the first level."
"Even if it is not unlimited, this number has exceeded the upper limit of what we can bear, unless support from other ninja villages can arrive in time." Luo Sha replied.
"They should be on the way, but our side may not be able to hold on until then."
Ohnoki looked down worriedly.
At this time, many ninjas had to fight the demons at close range.
As a result, they were either killed by various weird magics, or were used as food and eaten alive.
Among them are ninjas from Sunagakure Village and ninjas from Konoha Village.
There are even some ninjas from their Iwagakure Village who he can even call each other by their names.
"Now we can only count on support from the World Government, and I don't know when they will be there."
Just as the tired Ohnoki was mumbling to himself, he suddenly subconsciously turned his head to look at the sky behind him.
Because he seemed to hear a faint scream, was it an illusion?
[Hai Xiu Xiu————]
Sure enough, it's not an illusion.
More and more ninjas also heard the rapid sound of breaking through the air passing quickly overhead.
Before they could react, bright fireballs rose up one after another in the middle and rear areas of the demon army amidst the roaring sound of explosions. The raging explosive hot wind swept the entire place instantly, overturning the whole place. A large swath of mid- to low-level demons.
And the sound of breaking the air was almost endless.
Because the base number of shells for the main battle army heavy howitzer is sixty.
Ghost Spider ordered to hit two base numbers in a row, that is, one hundred and twenty.
And this is just the firing volume of one artillery piece.
Each artillery regiment under the main battle division is now equipped with twenty-four heavy howitzers.
Therefore, this artillery bombardment was carried out jointly by seventy-two heavy howitzers.
Not only that, every cannonball is a "Tianyuan bomb" that is rarer than conventional cannonballs.
The so-called "Tianyuan bombs" are cannonballs loaded with the secret family recipe gunpowder donated by Yu Zhuan Tianyuan.
This is an amount of gunpowder about the size of a pill, capable of blowing up an entire room.
It's a bit similar to the detonating talisman of the ninja world.
But this is no longer the latest generation of ‘Tian Yuan Gunpowder’.
As Bucky's scientific research abilities are best cultivated at the Academy of Sciences.
He further improved the 'Tian Yuan Gunpowder' to give it more explosive power.
For example, a pill-sized bomb can blow up an entire three-story house.
Therefore, these ‘Tian Yuan Bombs’ are actually the second generation now.
Basically, the maximum killing radius of a 40-kilogram artillery shell is nearly six times that of a conventional howitzer shell!
With such terrifying power, even these middle- and low-level demons will end up with no bones left on the spot once they are affected.
"This! This! Is this the support of the World Government?"
"They're coming!
! "
