Chapter 361 The Power of Heavy Artillery

At this moment, the orc infantry were lying in the trenches. Their positions were at the forefront and were more than 500 meters away from the shelling area, but the soldiers really felt the terrifying power of the cluster shelling!

Just like a mountain collapse, the whole earth was trembling, and the explosion of soil and building debris even flew four or five hundred meters away, falling into the trenches. From time to time, some unlucky guy was hit - fortunately, there were no powerful killers here, but at such a long distance, although some mud and dirt blocks could not kill people, it was inevitable that they would be injured by the skin and flesh. Fortunately, everyone was equipped with steel helmets modified from stainless steel pots, and the orcs were rough and not bleeding.

But this seems to be just a prelude.

After the three rounds of shooting were completed, the artillery soldiers located behind the infantry began to scatter.

This is also Li Yeling's previous order. After three rounds of volleys, it is free scattering. Li Yeling does not want to maintain volleys. After all, volleys can ensure the accuracy of the shooting and avoid overlapping the area of ​​shrapnel coverage. Although the zombies in front of him are everywhere, and throwing a stone can kill one of them. If he cannot maintain volleys, multiple shells will inevitably cover the same point, which is a bit wasteful, but doing so is a necessity.

Large caliber heavy artillery design, especially when heavy artillery clusters carry out super-intensive fire suppression or impact, can only carry out three relatively neat rounds of volleys, and then scatter them densely according to the speed of their respective gun groups and the maximum bearing capacity of the artillery barrels. During artillery attacks, according to the general military practice, every military unit, such as an artillery company and an artillery battalion, will have one or several commanders who specialize in commanding artillery bombardment and hold a small red flag in their hands. However, in this case, those commanders completely lose their function. The small red flag symbolizing "firing" in their hands can only be mechanically up and down, and in fact no one cares about it. Because at this time, no one can see or hear it.

Although smokeless gunpowder has been widely popularized in this era, smokeless gunpowder is not simply smokeless. After several rounds of heavy artillery fire, it is gray and dark. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that you can't see your five fingers, but it is absolutely impossible to see clearly what is five meters away. In a sunny day, you have to face it even more. The huge recoil force of heavy artillery fire caused the ground to shake and rise, which is enough to make the position look dirty and even worse than a sandstorm.

As for the sound, it was even more terrible. What was the sound of the large-caliber heavy artillery firing? During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the monkey Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded North Korea. The King of Korea sent a letter to the Kingdom to ask for support and conquer Korea, which is one of the three major expeditions of Wanli mentioned in later generations. When the Ming army entered North Korea, the Fran machine cannons, which were as thick as human legs, completely shocked those unknown sticks. According to the records of Korean history, the cannons were fired at the time of "the sky collapsed and the earth broke, and the Śrāvakas were miles away." There was such a huge power for the backward artillery in the Ming Dynasty, let alone the giant artillery that is now a thousand times more powerful than that of those artillery.

This level of heavy artillery basically comes after a few shots, the artillery soldiers can’t hear anything except the rumbling sound. At this time, even if they are talking in other people’s ears, they have to shout loudly. It’s purely a fool to expect them to hear any other command sound!

This is also the reason why artillery usually has ear problems after retirement.

At this time, all the artillery soldiers had only one word in their eyes and ears - Shoot! Shoot, Shoot, Shoot, Shoot, and Shoot!

For a moment, there was only a dimness in my eyes and a rumbling roar in my ears.

And in the zombie group, the violent explosion seemed to be endless, sweeping everything.

Ten minutes later, the roar of these giant cannons finally came to an end, not because these artillery soldiers had mercy or because they were rare to the lifespan of cannons. In fact, this Taisho fourteen-year heavy mortar, which was famous in history and was forged with super high-quality steel armored on the Yamato, casting the super battleship Yamato, had a gun barrel life of an extremely terrifying level.

To put it bluntly, the 21st century dynasty can create such high-quality dynasties?

The real reason is that the gunners are so tired!

The firing rate of the fourteen-year-old heavy mortar in the hands of the Japanese was good enough to achieve one shot per minute in the hands of the Japanese, but under the control of the powerful and professional Tauren Pighead Gunners, they can reach two shots per minute, and some of the better gunners can even reach five shots per minute. This means that the gunners need to install at least twenty giant shells weighing more than one hundred and thirty kilograms on the muzzle of the mortar within ten minutes of shooting time, and the many really have to carry twenty-five shots!

It is a ten thousand pounds to carry a heavy object weighing hundreds of kilograms up and down dozens of times, and it is almost uninterrupted. Even the taurens can't stand this intensity.

So according to Li Yeling's previous order, after ten minutes of blasting the blade, the sound of cannons that resounded between heaven and earth became silent.

Without the continuous generation of gunpowder, coupled with the weather today, the cloudy and windy days, as the breeze hit, the gunpowder and the clouds generated by the explosion were blown away. The scene on the wasteland was slowly revealed in front of everyone.

The zombie group that was originally densely spread across the wasteland and seemed to spread to the horizon, and from a distance it looked like an extremely huge black blanket, but now it was like a grass arched by a pig, with a pothole. When a shell fell, it could explode a huge blank area of ​​more than ten meters in the zombie group. All the zombies in this area were either directly blown to pieces by explosions or were cut into pieces by flying shrapnel. Anyway, it was a corpse that was left without any remains.

I saw that there was smoke everywhere on this huge black blanket, and there were large pits and holes everywhere, and fireworks were everywhere. Due to the explosion, it caused violent flames. The human body was originally a big candle. When the oil inside burned, it was a first-class beauty. Otherwise, there would have been no such thing as turning candles in ancient times. Although humans turned into zombies, most of the oil inside their bodies disappeared, it still existed after all.

When ignited by the fire, countless zombies were moaning in the fire, and were plucked by the fire, making strange sounds. Among the zombies, there were huge fire-like things burning, and there was a tendency to spread to both sides.

A heavy mortar shell with a caliber of 270mm can cause the death of hundreds of zombies. During the ten-minute shelling, forty-eight heavy mortars fired at least one thousand shells. Although there were a large number of shells that caused the repeated landing points due to ballistic and shooting problems, this short but terrifying shelling still caused the death of at least 30,000 zombies.

Note that this is just the number of zombies that are purely dead. The number of zombies that have lost their fighting power is not weaker than this number!

The zombie group, which had not reduced the number of days of siege on Steel Town, is now visible to the naked eye, and has been thinned a thick layer, and the number is obviously much smaller.

The headquarters located on the steep cliff with the best terrain is actually just a slightly larger tent. The tent is the simplest conical shape, with a radius of only five or six meters. It is thick canvas on it, and then a thick layer of soil is covered with water. It is wet with water and sticks to it like wet mud.

Li Yeling was still afraid of the Platinum Fire, which was the artillery zombies. Although Qingyuan told him that all the artillery zombies were killed by Miss Ice's volley, he still did not dare to neglect them.

There were only five people in the tent, Li Yeling, Qu Yanxiao, Liu Yun, Peanut, and Mingsuo. As for the Mastiff Yass team, they were distributed within dozens of meters around the tent to patrol and defend. On the outside, there were several Warcraft Knights teams of alert. The entire defense was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, which was very strict.

The five people in the tent stood at the door and looked at the zombies. It was high and it was wide in front of me, but the vision was very good.

"I really didn't expect that a round of cannon would have such great power. The power of this cannon is much stronger than that of us practitioners." Peanut sighed, but he couldn't help but sigh in his words. No matter who it is, he saw that the thing he was proud of was crushed by another thing, even if that thing belongs to him, he would feel uncomfortable.

"You're the difference." Li Yeling smiled: "When practicing to the extreme, its power is not inferior to these heavy artillery, and it's even farther than that. Don't tell me, you don't know what magic will be like when practicing the Vajra Handprint to the extreme."

Peanuts thought about it and thought it was the same.

Mingsuo put down his telescope and smiled and said, "Commander-in-chief, we killed almost 30,000 zombies this time. According to the classics and records found by his subordinates in the Dali County Civil Affairs Bureau before, the population of the entire Dali County County is about 350,000. According to your previous statement, almost all the people in the county town have become zombies. This means that the zombies that have emerged this time are at least 300,000!"

Seeing everyone listening carefully, Mingsuo continued: "According to his subordinates' estimates, in the offensive and defensive battle in the Steel Town, almost 10,000 or 20,000 zombies died. In addition, this time the shelling was killed and injured, what we need to face next are more than 250,000 zombies!"

Two hundred and fifty thousand zombies!

Although zombies are no longer regarded as dishes now, 250,000 zombies are still enough to attract everyone's attention.

Quantitative change causes qualitative change. If such a huge number is blocked by them by the barbed wire, the consequences will be really unimaginable. Even if 250,000 mice are going to kill them all, it will take some time, let alone these zombies with thick skin.

"The strength of the barbed wire has been confirmed, right?" Although Li Yeling knew that he was the chief adviser to do his duty, he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Mingsuo smiled respectfully: "The arrangement of these barbed wire mesh is done according to your instructions. It is very strong and the zombies cannot get through for a while. What's more, we will kill most of them before they get close."

Li Yeling nodded, feeling a little relieved.

But those zombies had abnormal movements again.

If it were a human army, even if there were a million people, it would probably collapse immediately under the bombardment of such violent artillery that was almost a disaster. It would be rare to have a broken mind after a shelling. Before the state reached the top, it would be difficult to move into the world. During the three-year civil war with the Kuomintang, they frequently adopted this tactic that was not a tactical one.

When the State Administration of China sent the Shandong Bureau and the Hebei Central Bureau army to enter the Northeast in large numbers before the complex and inefficient war machines of the National Army reacted, it almost completely accepted weapons and equipment enough to equip several Japanese divisions, which were nearly ten divisions, with the support of the Soviet army. The most were various standard heavy artillery. You should know that the Japanese artillery technology at that time might be slightly inferior to those of the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union, but it was much stronger than China. Therefore, after receiving these equipment, the red army of the National Administration, especially the artillery, had experienced nouveau riche development.

In the battle between the National Army and the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army, under TV series and movie materials and overwhelming conscious propaganda, always thought that the People's Liberation Army had defeated the National Army with the entire United States with the guns and cannons. In fact, it was purely nonsense. In the battle between the National Army and the People's Liberation Army, the People's Liberation Army's artillery can be said to have the upper hand, and the number of artillery invested in each battle was more than several times that of the National Army. Almost every battle was first a crazy bombardment of artillery soldiers, which made the National Army so dizzy.

At that time, there was even a 240mm caliber heavy howitzer regiment under Mr. Lin's command. Not to mention that the national army had never seen this thing, this regiment was a trump card in the United States and the Soviet Union, which was a major artillery country!

But at this time, the group opposite Li Yeling was not human at all. The casualties of the same kind, the countless artillery fire, the smoke of gunpowder, and the loud noise that could shatter the eardrums would not attract the attention and attention of the zombies. They were all companions who were killed and injured by the bomb, but these zombies were still dull and had no reaction at all.

There was no panic, Mei was not panic, but the zombies' heads twisted towards the hillside.

From birth to the present, there is only one thing the zombies care about, that is fresh flesh and blood!

At first, because the distance was a bit far, and the zombies were all focused on the Iron Town ahead. However, this round of shelling made the zombies turn all their attention to this side. With the zombies' keen sense of smell, they could soon find these people here. After all, the orcs are extremely full of essence and blood, more abundant than ordinary humans. If an orc and a human run to both sides, the zombies will definitely chase the orcs. Thousands of strong orcs gathered together, and the blood of the qi condensed, like a pillar of smoke, penetrated into the sky, extremely conspicuous.

For zombies, this is the most delicious big cake.

Almost a dozen seconds later, the zombies turned one after another, turned their heads and crowded towards this side. Although many were killed, the number of zombies was still quite large and dense, so they pushed and shoved and began the "charge" in chaos.

Seeing the actions of the zombies, almost all the soldiers raised their hearts. They were the most elite warriors and possessed one of the most elite weapons in their peers of this era. However, for most of them, it was still the first time they faced war.

Although the previous three days of drills can also be called war, it has no real lethality after all. I know that the bullets fired will not kill me, so I will naturally not be so nervous.

But this time, the silent enemies rushing over from the opposite side, with murderous aura, were zombies!

Zombies have an extremely special status in the world in the end of the world. They can be said to be the destroyers of the entire world, but they are the creators of this new era. If zombies do not appear, even if all animals turn into monsters, humans will not have the power to fight.

Therefore, everyone in the end of the world has an extremely strange attitude towards zombies. They hate zombies, but they are vaguely afraid of them.

And this time there are hundreds of thousands of zombies opposite each other! Naturally, the soldiers would not have the knowledge of Mingsuo and excellent ear analysis ability, and Li Yeling would not be stupid enough to tell them the specific number of zombies they faced. These soldiers only know one thing, there are many zombies on the opposite side, like a black ocean.

Looking at the wave of zombies that were constantly approaching us, the soldiers began to swallow their saliva secretly, and their nervousness caused dense sweat to seep out from the soles of their hands and feet.

But the results of the training came out. Although the soldiers were nervous, they were still stable. Everyone stood on their posts and firmly held the guns in their hands. The officers walked around the trenches, constantly watching the movements of their soldiers. For an army that had just formed an army, this was the most difficult time. At this time, the soldiers were very nervous. If anyone accidentally fired the first shot, it would inevitably cause a chain reaction and lead to chaos on the entire front.

This was explained by Li Yeling before. Compared with these civilians in the old era, Li Yeling, who came from a military academy, knew more about military affairs and knew some common sense in this area.

Fortunately, the officers' worries did not become reality.

The soldiers were also silent, and the roar of cannons became silent. The position was quiet and suffocating. There was no sound. Only the rustling sound of the soles of the zombies in the distance stepping on the ground. Millions of rustling sounds gathered together. The huge sound was like a heavy hammer, constantly pounding in everyone's heart.
