The Breakout Battle of Shouwang State is destined to subvert the world's perception of "magicians dominating the battlefield", and leave behind a lot of things that will be recorded in the history of war.Airship bombing, airship missiles......
These weapons applications derived from high-explosive technology have left countless shocks and aftertastes for the world.But after the war, some good deeds launched a vote for "the weapon that impressed you the most in the Breakout Battle of Shou State", and the one with the highest number of votes was "Steel Torrent"!
At the starting point of the resistance coalition forces, where Luo Songxi's "Flying Falcon"-class airship took off, the ground rumbled and shook.One after the other, square, like a huge, flat iron box, with five pairs of load-bearing wheels and tracks hanging on either side, broke through the cover and concealed the floating earth and vegetation, and rumbled out at a speed that was not commensurate with their size.Justin stood up from the hatch at the top of the "iron cabinet" and shouted, "Steel—torrent!"
”The mighty more than 100 "iron cabinets" really converged into a torrent of steel, and from the passage that Luo Songxi had just blasted with the "Flying Falcon"-class airship, they drove proudly into the blockade line of the Imperials.Not long ago, the defensive position of four divisions and dozens of fortifications was blown into ruins by Luo Songxi.But the tenacious soldiers of the Imperial North Route Army have re-defended this area.Fortifications could not be rebuilt in a short period of time, but mages had dug trenches with earth magic, and sappers had put up iron nets and stood by for these makeshift facilities.However, the torrent of steel formed by these "iron cabinets" turned a blind eye to the enemy troops, and the loud noise of the metal tracks crushing through the dust was like the pride of mechanical creations, and they crushed towards the hordes of Imperial soldiers without any tricks."
Fire!
Fire with all your might!
”A Sacred Realm Rank Master who came from the Northern Route Army of the Empire also carried the pride of a magician.He came from the Angolo Valley, and under the command of Ameyes, he had sunk an ironclad ship that had been harassed by the Federation from the sea.Now it is also a powerful fire explosion technique, and his spells are followed by a flurry of gold-level and silver-level spells, as well as tongues of fire from elemental artillery and elemental rifles.The "Iron Cabinet" was very large and easy to hit, and the first few "Iron Cabinets" were soon caught in a cloud of fire and smoke."
Go on, keep hitting the back!"
Looking at the diffuse fire and smoke, the pride of the Sacred Realm Rank Master was filled, and a new flame explosion began to take shape in his hands.Just wait for the smoke and dust to clear, avoid the already destroyed iron box in front of you, and continue to hit the bulky guys behind.However, he found that he couldn't hit the back one.Not only because the smoke and dust had not yet cleared, but the iron box, which should have been smashed inside, was opened unscathed.And because he heard a low roar from the iron box that hit the head: "Fire!"
”Above the iron boxes, there was an arm-thick barrel stuck diagonally upward.In the smoke, the barrel had been leveled, and before he could throw the flame explosion in his hand, it erupted with blazing tongues of fire.Only about four or five "iron cabinets" in the front row carried out a round of main artillery fire, and the one integrated division that bravely made up for the defense, together with the iron network barricades they had just arranged, was nearly one-third less.However, the "iron cabinets" behind were still proudly holding their barrels high and did not bother to fire their guns together.To them, it seemed to be a giant beast from the wilderness, squirting a swarm of mosquitoes with a mouthful of breath.It's a waste.More than a hundred steel behemoths, as soon as they entered the blockade of the Empire, quickly expanded their spreadout, and instead of firing their cannons, they pressed over everything they passed.Pass through the trench and press through.Pass by iron nets and barricades, press over.Passing by the Imperial soldiers, press over.This is a veritable torrent of steel!
The defenders on the imperial blockade line did not fail to launch a counterattack against these steel behemoths.However, the back of the blockade line was originally less deployed, and although Dia consciously launched reinforcements here, most of the reinforced troops were not in a very good situation.Those who came by car for reinforcements were better, but the car was lying on the road, and those who came by airship for reinforcements had already crashed along with the airship.As a result, more than 100 "iron cabinets" quickly opened an unfolding surface of more than a kilometer on the position of the imperial blockade line.The "iron cabinet", which is more than three meters high, forms a formidable steel barrier on the battlefield.The trumpet sounded again, and it was only then that the large forces of the resistance coalition finally showed their form from various hidden points on the periphery of the blockade line.Leading the way is the legendary dwarven warrior Terry Far Mountain.Instead of carrying his trademark hammer, he carried an iron cylinder on his shoulder, which stood about as tall as him and looked like a large chimney.Behind him, there were three dwarves with huge backpacks, and further back, the special forces codenamed "Bazooka-002", about 1,000 people, also in a formation of four people, followed Terry Yuanshan and rushed into the battlefield under the protection of the "iron cabinet".At the tail of the "Bazooka-002" unit, there were more than a dozen dark green military vehicles.The back half of the military vehicle was also loaded with the big chimney-like iron cylinders, but not one, but ten in two neat rows.Wei Tiancheng's troops followed, also with a scale of about a thousand people, and their battle equipment was even more exaggerated, half of them were Black Rock Mountain dwarves, each pushing a shiny cannon.In the history of warfare on this continent, the bulky elemental cannons have always been mounted on strong fortifications with gun mounts, and no one has ever loaded the cannon on two wheels and pushed it onto the field battlefield like this unit codenamed "Cannon-001".Later, it was finally the regular force of the Resistance Alliance, a mix of dwarven warriors and human mages.Those old soldiers who were full of oily and slippery tones half a month ago are now like the dwarves around them, coated with a layer of slaughter that has been washed by blood and fire.Finally, there were Crowle's "Guide-005" troops, who were the least numerous and least armed, with six personnel carriers carrying all of them.They are characterized by wearing specially made military uniforms with large pockets filled with numbered arrays, and they suddenly change from magicians to mechanics.After experiencing repeated bombing by airships, targeted missile killing, and "iron cabinet" as the forerunner......
After a series of foreshadowing, the large forces that resisted the coalition finally appeared!
77 Among the concepts of modern warfare that Luo Songxi talked about, the one that Luo Songxi most recognized was that the goal of the application of new technologies in warfare was not to pursue the killing of the enemy, but to pursue the protection of the survival of one's own soldiers.Whether it is the bombing of airships or the opening of the way by the "iron cabinet", it is to create the most favorable conditions for the charge of the soldiers who have been waiting for the resistance coalition soldiers who have been waiting for thousands of times.The "iron cabinet" weighing more than forty or fifty tons was indeed moving extremely fast, and in a moment, the steel giant beast had already covered the troops of more than 10,000 people behind it, approaching the core area of the blockade line.In addition to crushing the enemy's weapons and technology, the resistance coalition forces can also take advantage of their information gap with the enemy.General Dia is already considered the leading general of the empire, and the efficiency of his troops, both in terms of communication and command, is first-class.But he was still far from keeping up with the pace of the war against the coalition forces.From the very beginning of the airship bombing, the transmission system of the Imperial Northern Route Army was significantly slower than the speed of the airship's flight.Dia hastily dispatched Lanisia to fight after seeing the airship with the naked eye, which eventually led to the death of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Legendary Rank, and the position was blown to pieces.If Diya had just begun to advance at the beginning of the airship's advance, he would have received information and made a systematic response to resist the bombing of the coalition forces, it would not have been so smooth.Now it is also the case, the resistance coalition forces are approaching the core of the blockade line under the cover of the "iron cabinet", and Dia still does not know what is happening at the rear end of the blockade line.He still thought that the maneuvers he had made were being carried out in an orderly manner, and he still thought that the entire blockade was running like a sophisticated machine.These are the things he does best in warfare.He didn't know that his personnel carriers were lying on their stomachs en masse, he just vaguely saw what seemed to be several airships in the air catching fire and falling, and was sending people to investigate the cause.Reports of these incidents have either just been written by the grassroots combat units, or the falcons that pass on this information are still flying in the air.The resistance coalition forces had already advanced nearly ten kilometers in one breath in the second half of the blockade line where the rhythm of reinforcements had been destroyed, using the area blown up by Luo Songxi with airships as a breakthrough and the "iron cabinet" like a steel giant beast as a cover.Dia didn't even know the news of Ranisia's death, and he only let those airships find an opportunity when he was single-handedly out of the station, and when he was chasing the airship, he was entangled by the opponent's high-level combat power.Even as a legendary high-level magician standing at the top of the powerhouse of the plane, he did not have the ability to invisibly monitor the entire battlefield situation like 77 and Sotheby's.So after approaching the core area of the blockade line, the resistance coalition forces met the Imperial soldiers who did not know what was happening behind them, and were temporarily avoiding the sharp edge of the all-out advance of the Eastern Military District according to Dia's instructions, and retreating backwards.A large number of retreating Imperial soldiers poured in, and they saw for some reason that huge square iron boxes appeared on their positions.They didn't know where the iron boxes came from or what they were for, but they could only see that they were slowly lowering the barrels on top.More than a hundred of the main guns of the "Iron Cabinet" erupted in the next second, and the steel behemoth finally showed its fangs!
This was not enough, the "Artillery-001" unit behind the "iron cabinet" had stopped rushing forward, and with the assistance of the auxiliary troops, the artillery mount had been quickly erected.More than 500 large-caliber smoothbore guns, divided into three rounds, fired nearly 2,000 shells.The Imperial soldiers who were retreating in an orderly manner fell in pieces like wheat harvesting, and even the magicians of the Golden Rank and the Holy Realm Rank were no different from ordinary soldiers in this sudden artillery bombardment that swept through thousands of troops.In the devastating explosion, in the shock wave radiated from the explosion, he died without resistance.After four rounds of shelling, the soldiers of this part finally collapsed.The survivors of the shelling turned and ran, trying to escape from the Shura-like area, and they and the rear team did not know what was happening, and the soldiers who were still carrying out the order to retreat were huddled together and trampled on each other.After the officer in charge of military discipline shot several of the routers in a row, the soldiers began to change direction and flee to both sides, spreading the chaos farther afield.Suddenly only the strongest fortifications were left on the battlefield full of soldiers, still resisting with elemental magic.These fortifications were in the heart of the blockade, and the massive fortress that had been repeatedly reinforced for more than a month had partially collapsed after four rounds of shelling, but it was still tenaciously functioning.The dwarves with their huge backpacks beside Terry Toyama had untied their backpacks, which contained a row of metal posts with conical heads and tail wings.A dwarf loaded a metal pillar into the large chimney-like iron cylinder on Terry Distant Mountain's shoulder.Terry Distant Mountain shouted, "Indestructible!
”The "Bazooka-002" troops behind him have already carried iron cylinders.Pull the trigger, hundreds of metal columns, tail blazing, fly towards those giant fortresses.The backbone of the blockade, the giant fortress made of stainless steel and spent more than a month to build, along with the magicians stationed inside, was wiped out in an instant.The tracks of the "iron cabinet" continued to move forward, rumbling over the positions that had been repeatedly destroyed by artillery shelling and rockets, resisting the coalition forces, and the screams and roars of the Eastern Military District not far away could already be heard struggling to break through.The large forces of resistance to the coalition are like a march singing all the way, and the entire blockade line is about to be broken through in an instant!
