Chapter 467: Not Lost Yet

Chapter 461 – Not Lost Yet

The ear-piercing whistling sound that suddenly resounded in the air made everyone freeze, the commotion was from far and near, and spread out over the sky, the sound was extremely appalling, and at the same time, it brought a sense of crisis that made quite a number of people with sharp senses fall into an icy abyss, and their bodies stiffened to the point that they couldn’t move.

As a senior knight Cross did not freeze, his powerful physique allowed him to have better eyesight, but at this moment he would rather be blind, so that he did not have to see the cruel scene that was about to happen.

Three types of artillery directly covered the entire battlefield, but the first to fall were short-range mortar shells.

Don’t see in order to facilitate the movement, mortar caliber are not big, but how not big than the lethality of the grenade, a round of fall in a radius of more than ten meters are in the shrapnel kill the shrapnel within the scope of the cage, not to mention the speed of fire fast, the time to open a gun, mortar three or five rounds have been shot out, so rushed to the forefront of the soldiers were blown up on the spot, the horse was tumbled over.

Next is the infantry artillery, covering the middle of the Border City Alliance soldiers charge, causing a large area of confusion, so that the charge is difficult to continue, even because of the speed of the problem is gradually overtaken by the infantry charge of the ten steam tanks, but also suffered a number of rounds, a lot of places in the armor have appeared to be dented and twisted, a few of the unlucky ones were blown off the tracks, directly lying down, can only be used in support of the duplex turret, can play a role in small pathetic.

Lastly, the heavy artillery of the house, the heavy mass made the air that was squeezed out make a piercing whistling sound, and after cutting through a long distance, it landed directly on the Alliance soldiers who were gathered in the rear and ready to go.

Good military literacy allowed the Border City Alliance soldiers to instinctively arrange themselves into neat squares, waiting for the start of the charge before using the spreading out learned from the mobilized soldiers as a way of charging.

But this time they didn’t have a chance, the larger the caliber the longer the range, so there was nothing below one hundred and fifty millimeters that could fall on their heads.

And how lethal is the one hundred and fifty millimeter heavy artillery, basically nearly a hundred pounds of a shell goes down half of the playground is gone, two hundred millimeter heavy artillery is even more capable of turning the entire soccer field into a dead zone.

In order to maximize this rare opportunity, Howard also used the rocket launcher, a round of metal columns with trailing flames fell from the sky, the terrifying lethality made Cross completely lose his reaction to the outside world, and just watched dumbfounded as countless soldiers continued to turn into debris rising up into the air with the explosions, and then spilling down to a farther place.

As the artillery fire extended, this horrible scene continued, but it didn’t matter to Cross anymore, he was finished, the army was finished, and the alliance was finished.

As soon as the artillery fire began to extend, the officers of the Glorious Union blew their shrill whistles with great force, and the soldiers who had been staying quietly in the trenches were the first to grip their bayoneted rifles and rush out, as if they wanted to chase the artillery fire without stopping.

They are not a reserve regiment, but the territory’s most elite main force regiment, the scene in front of the eyes of the artillery roar is not enough to shake their hearts and minds, in the face of the enemy who will soon be blown silly, but also has no intention to show mercy, skillfully in the running of a short stop to shoot quickly, and then pull the bolt to load the rifle on the run.

The main corps in ten people a squad, by a machine gun as the core, in addition to the main and deputy machine gun shooter, there are six riflemen and two sub-machine gunners, at this time they completely put their weekday training into play, encountered the gathering of the enemy immediately lie down, by the machine gunner strafing, the riflemen precision kill the enemy, sub-machine gunners to deal with the enemy who rushed too close.

Each squad was at a distance where they could support each other, and not far behind them were artillerymen carrying mortars, so that whenever they encountered a difficult enemy, they would immediately receive artillery support.

The whole process is like constantly dividing the enemy’s flesh and blood with a sharp knife, from the whole into small bites, and then swallowed in one mouthful.

Although the soldiers of Border City Alliance who were already in total chaos were still resisting, they had already lost their establishment, not to mention their superiors, they didn’t even know what they should do now, there were those who wanted to continue charging in a feverish manner, there were also those who wanted to keep their cool and retreated to the rear to rely on the fortifications to counterattack, and there were also those who had already been completely scared out of their wits.

Even how elite, facing the overwhelming artillery coverage, randomly selecting a piece of teammates into broken pieces flying into the sky, not everyone can carry it.

“We haven’t lost yet.” Master Eugene, who had hurriedly arrived, gripped Cross’s shoulder tightly to bring him back to his senses.

Taking a deep breath, Cross forced himself not to look at the scene of the army’s collapse to think about the opportunity that Master Eugene was talking about. Right now, the Glory Alliance seized the opportunity of his general attack and hit the Alliance’s soldiers in one fell swoop, at this point, the defeat was already set, therefore, they would definitely choose to ride on their victory, and in this situation, the opponent’s rear would become empty.

“Master Eugene, order them to move out, I will try to buy you as much time as possible.” Thinking of this, Cross spoke to Master Eugene.

“Good.” Master Eugene sniffed and glanced at Cross and sighed as he spoke.

Obviously Cross decided to go with the soldiers to fend off the Glory Alliance’s attack, and dying in battle was the only thing that would happen to him, and it was also the best ending, otherwise, with such heavy casualties, even if he went back alive, he would still be burdened with all the responsibility and shame, and at that time, not only him, but even his family and the new faction would suffer a fatal blow.

Although Cross decided to die, he had to die in a worthy manner, to be in line with his status as an upper general, so he took his own soldiers and braved the artillery fire, personally gathered the scattered soldiers around him, then rebuilt a second line of defense outside the range of the artillery fire, and used the reserve regiment.

Not mentioning this war that won’t end anytime soon, Master Eugene hurriedly came to a special camp, where even the soldiers watching the gate were all professionals, so don’t look at the small number, the combat power was the top of the entire Border City Alliance army.

The only pity was that the number was too small, adding up to just over a thousand, which was the reason why the new school of the Gunnery Stream was able to rise to prominence.

Professionals are strong, but not everyone can become a professional, generally speaking there are at most three or five out of a thousand people.

And this is only the threshold of entry, the next not only need a master teacher to guide, but also need to have enough time and materials to meet the learning and training, otherwise while farming while practicing martial arts, unless it is the reincarnation of the brave, or else certainly can not be practiced what the hall of fame.

In addition, even if these conditions are met, it is not 100% possible to become an intermediate or even advanced professional.

Therefore, under various limitations, the entire Border City Alliance’s population of millions of people did not reach 10,000 professionals, including apprentices who were not very useful.

With the same amount of resources and time, the Border City Alliance was able to train at least 100,000 elite soldiers equipped with guns and cannons.

Comparing them, as long as you are not brain-dead, you will know which one to choose.

So in the battle between the old and the new, the new faction was bound to win, especially with the development of guns and machinery.

In this situation, Master Eugene was not certain that he could talk the Professionals Corps into making a move.

Anyone with a clear eye can see that the new faction of the Border City Alliance’s army has failed miserably this time, and even if they manage to go back, no matter whether they have power or influence, they will inevitably suffer a great loss, or even suffer a setback.

What’s more, even if you help, I’m afraid that it is difficult to restore the defeat, and even not only themselves in this battle to take part of the responsibility, will also suffer a great loss, after all, the power of the heavy artillery they have seen, even professionals can not carry.
