Chapter 60: The Return of the Shelling
On a plain far away from the eastern highlands, although it is more than ten kilometers apart, the noise of the insect propulsion of the insects is still vaguely heard here. From a distance, the eastern highlands are like a piece of bread stained with honey, attracting endless insects to climb and wriggle continuously. Occasionally, you can hear a few gunshots that are even louder than thunder, a terrifying hell.
"It's almost done. They should have all gone to the eastern highlands, and their retreat was blocked and there was nowhere to escape." Zhang Zhongguo was wearing a dark green military uniform at this time. Judging from the style, it should be the military uniform of the Republic, but the badge and rank had all been torn off. In the wilderness of the day, wearing such a piece of clothing would definitely be so hot that it would die suddenly. But if you look closely, you will find that there was an invisible energy fluctuation on his body, blocking the heat of the scorching sun, and there was no drop of sweat on his head.
A cold commander came up and asked in a low voice: "Report to the regiment commander, the ammunition of the First Artillery Battalion has been replenished and can be bombarded at any time. Please instruct."
"Yeah, prepare to attack." Zhang Zhongguo took off the cigarette that was about to burn out of his mouth, looked at the eastern highlands, then turned around and left, leaving a sentence, "Don't stop the shelling before the other party is completely destroyed."
"Captain, where are you going?" asked the artillery battalion commander in confusion.
"Just in case, I will take people to protect the insect mother now. After the employer receives the prompt to complete the task, I will take people out. Until then, you are fully responsible for command."
"Abide by the order!"
"Execute the order." Zhang Zhongguo's finger flashed, and the cigarette butts that were burning to the end drew a graceful arc in the air, like a meteor falling in the sky. When the cigarette butts fell on the hot ground and burst out from Mars, the roaring cannons that tore through the sky sounded again...
...
"Go to take over Lu Ren's job." Luo You handed over the Desert Eagle to Arnold, saying, "Each shooting interval is ten seconds, otherwise it is easy to overheat, so you should be given priority to hit places with a lot of bugs."
"Hey! Don't underestimate me, it's just a few more holes." Lu Ren got up from the ground and lifted the soldier Gatlin, who was nearly 200 pounds, and said, "You can easily disrupt the rhythm of the ghost hand when you shoot randomly. Be careful that he will come to trouble you later."
"Wait! I just finished bandaging you, you should have a good rest!" Al gently grabbed Lu Ren's arm, his face full of worry.
"Hahaha, there are bugs everywhere, I have to let them shut their mouths to rest well." Lu Ren suddenly held El's white little hand, kissed the delicate and smooth back of his hand, and smiled at her little face as red as an apple, "Thank you, doctor, I will protect you."
Lu Ren roared and cheered himself up, picked up his weapon and ran to the core of the tower, continuing the task of fire support. Although his wound was very serious, the special effect bandage wrapped around him was an item from a cube, which had extraordinary miraculous effects, so his combat power was not greatly affected, and he still shot fiercely and accurately.
Just as gunfire and insect screams came one after another, and the situation slowly returned to stability, a sudden dull loud noise hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer. Countless scorching white lights rose from the end of the horizon, roaring with the power to destroy the world.
Since the basic networks of the old era were destroyed, the military's combat methods also changed from the former information-based dimension reduction to the mechanization during World War II. Artillery also lost the precise guidance of computer control, so the accuracy of the strike was not that high. Many incoming artillery shells were bombarded on the mountain, and even a large part of the insects were blown to pieces.
However, the Dawn Team was not at all uncomfortable at this time. Raindrop-like shells were coming wildly. They had no idea when these ghosts would hit them near them. For ordinary people, such field artillery would be severely damaged by shock waves within fifty meters of the explosion point. Even for evolvers, their killing range was twenty meters, which was very dangerous.
Under such intensive blows, they could occasionally feel some shells flying over their heads, and the burning pain made people wonder if their scalp was lifted.
Luo You couldn't help it anymore. It felt like he was hanging upside down in the sky with a rope, and then being beaten up like a sandbag. He didn't have the strength to fight back. He couldn't help but use the magnetic track sniper rifle to aim the artillery unit at the end of the horizon, but the red warning on the aiming interface told him that it had exceeded the range.
At this time, under the bombardment of artillery fire, the ghost hand seemed to have nothing to do with it, and he was still slashing wildly on the path. Moreover, his combat awareness was very strong. In addition to fighting, he could also use the sound and trajectory of the artillery shells to judge the landing point to avoid being injured by the bomb.
The experienced Lu Ren knew that fighting against artillery was stupid, so he simply gave up shooting and hid directly under the cover of the core of the tower. Although this turret did not have strong defense capabilities, it was also the only cover on the bare hills in the eastern highlands.
Arnold decisively pulled out the C-level giant shield that Luo You gave him, and supported the giant shield while protecting Ling and Al. Although the other party was not using large-caliber shells, they would suffer a huge impact within a radius of twenty meters. Most people could not hold on at all. Fortunately, Arnold's giant bloodline is extremely resistant in this regard, and the C-level giant shield in his hand also has the effect of alleviating the impact force, so unless it is directly hit by the shell, it can still withstand it.
Although everyone had countermeasures, without Lu Ren's firepower support, the ghost hand gradually could not stop it. Although he had no problem with it, there were too many bugs. The impact of group movement was like an irresistible tank. If one was cut down, the other would be filled up. If ten were cut down, the other would be filled up. There was no killing at all. This suicide charge was really hard to resist, and the front line was moving back little by little.
"Ano, you can cover Lu Ren and not let his firepower be cut off!" Luo You had already seen that Lu Ren was very important in this positional battle. His accurate and perverted firepower distribution could greatly slow down the suicide charge of the insect swarm. Without him, the front line would sooner or later be pushed to the high ground. Once the advantage of the narrow path was lost, it would only be a matter of time before the insect swarm drown them.
"Ling, protect Al." Luo You issued a second order. The reason is very simple. Although Ling's B-level Holy Shield Ring is not an active defensive device, it still has a defensive effect when attacked, and it is a perfect defense. As long as she protects Al, the two of them can enjoy the protection of the Holy Shield Ring at the same time.
Ling was very smart and understood what Luo You meant without explaining it. And the girl was very glad that she could contribute to this battle. She held Al's little hand and said seriously: "Sister, follow me, don't leave a step!"
