Chapter 10: Artillery Battle

“我需要你派出所有的空军来支援我……”主角贾科莫为了自己的战略目的,向佩拉尔塔提出了这个要求。佩拉尔塔城邦不可能拒绝这个要求,毕竟米纳的军队还在佩拉尔塔,所以最好还是用爱把米纳国王的弟弟关起来。

Ten days after the end of this battle Renyu realized that the Peralta city-state was divided, part of the people were in favor of Mina city-state and part of the people were in favor of Governor Vinucci. The huge division tore the whole Peralta city-state apart. the forces represented by the Carlini, who occupied the whole Peralta city-state, decided to support the Mina city-state, while the Peralta people who supported Vinucci gathered in the Ambertone Forest, which was west of the Peralta city-state. As long as the Peralta people of the Ampertone Forest are not eliminated for one day, the entire Peralta City-State is actually divided. Having been accustomed to the tactics used by the western countries of Earth to provoke unrest in other regions before crossing over, Renyu understood that keeping the Peralta people in the Amphetone Forest first and creating a substantial division of Peralta would actually be beneficial to the Mina Legion.

Ending the post-battle respite, Giacomo holds a strategy meeting to decide the strategic direction of the expeditionary force. The only travelers who could enter the strategy meeting were Andrew, Inoue Ohno before this.

Andrew had this qualification due to the fact that he had led his troops in the wilderness to ambush and harass his opponents many times and succeeded, showing a new style of combat. As for Inoue Ohno, he could repair and build the industrial machines that Mina city-states transported from the rear. These industrial machines were the high-end technology of Mina City State, with power automation mine collectors and more. Even some of the enemy's weapons, such as the Viceroy Mecha and the Steam Spider, as long as the damage was not more than seventy percent, he could manufacture into missing parts and restore them.

Renyu was the third Traveler to enter the Strategic Decision Meeting. Seeing Renyu enter, Andrew greeted him with a big smile and whispered, "I'm so glad you're here. We'll have a great time working together in the future." Seeing Andrew pulling Renyu away ahead of him, Inoue Ohno, who was a step behind, stopped stiffly in his movements just as he was about to get up.

Renyu's reflexes were slow, but he could sense the difference in the two travelers' attitudes towards him. There were only fifteen people who participated in the strategic decision-making hall of the expeditionary force, but every one of them held an important link in the army, there was the logistics department, the reconnaissance department and the firepower department.The total number of Mina's expeditionary force was not more than thirty thousand people, but The system of the expeditionary force was very complete.

Nowadays Giacomo gathered the members of each key part of this army and asked the question, “Go out from the city-state of Peralta. The vast plains of the continent of Vinci will be faced, and in which direction will the expeditionary army's attack be directed.”

Kalini said infectiously, “Governor Venucci has many unspoken secrets for his conquest plans and some deadbeat puppets to serve him. While the Fliglos of the West provide the Governor with money, the forces of the Wastelands provide the Governor with precious mineral deposits. If we want to defeat the Governor once and for all, we have to cut off his minions and hawks.”

Expressionless Renyu, the heart unconsciously skimmed, into the expeditionary force high level Renyu is aware of Mina city state at this time how strong the military power in the end. A huge transportation airship unit is responsible for the logistics of Mina's expeditionary force. After tying Peralta City State, a base for airship production, to its own chariot, Mina City State's military force can already attack at will on Vinci's land.

Don't underestimate the power of these 30,000 expeditionary forces, these 30,000 expeditionary forces can arrive at any place and set up a military security zone where a blimp transportation brigade can drop off weapon production systems. Recruit soldiers to join them in the area, assemble and produce legions of robots, and mine Timonium mines to maintain military energy. Maintain a merchant fleet to control the region's economy. Occupy the region's inherent industrial military production system to maintain production and produce powerful new weapons.

The system belonging to the city-state of Mina had been set up after the complete occupation of the changed region. Elite troops are then recruited locally to replenish the Expeditionary Corps, and when the Expeditionary Corps' complement of 30,000 is filled, it can move on to capture the next region. In the same way it occupies, transforms the local city-state, and continues the expedition.

Venucci's industrial technology is also well developed, but lacks such a transportation system to sustain an expeditionary force. And the other two forces, called hawks and dogs by Kaniri and supposedly manipulated by Venucci, could not maintain such a logistical force either. As for the city-state of Peralta, they can only build small merchant ships as well as combat air force weapons, not large carrier airships.

That means Mina's military placement is the strongest in the entire world. This is also true in the game, where the army controlled by the protagonist can take down a territory in one turn, while those three villainous characters can only take down an area in two turns or more. This is a good indication of Who has the power to conquer the entire continent of Vinci.

Of course, everyone didn't refute Kalini's words. Now the question was where to fight, Renyu's suggestion was actually to attack to the north and capture the enemy's Timonium mines. the Timonium mines were the strategic resources in the industry. Meanwhile, the northern battlefield has more space, more favorable for the militarily powerful Mina Expeditionary Army to expand its power quickly. If you attacked to the west and struck the city-state of Frigglow, it would merely cut off the Governor's economic trade. Instead of dealing a serious blow to the Governor, the army would be too prominent and easily encircled.

But Renyu didn't dare to speak his mind.Renyu, as a novice who had just joined the battle, simply stated that the artillery could obey all the commander's arrangements.

Besides, such strategic decisions are still in the hands of the protagonist, whose new ally and confidante has a lot to say. To Renyu's surprise Andrew made a clear statement in favor of going west. And every time he stated a reason, Giacomo seemed to nod with some empathy. The direction of the military offensive was thus decided.

While walking out of the conference room, Renyu seemed to feel Andrew glancing at himself with a strange smile.

Seven days later, the battle to round up the Peralta people in the Ambertonay forest begins, and unlike the game's Mina, who is full of justice, Renyu senses that this opponent is truly fighting for himself. And at this point Renyu is also fighting for himself.

There was a steam fortress on the other side, and the rockets that came out of it were a nightmare for the infantry. The only weapon that could compete with it was the artillery's ability to fire at long range. At first Renyu thought that he only needed to perform artillery duties, but when he saw the five steam artillery guns coming out of the five-pronged fortress, the optimism in his heart was instantly shattered. These prismatic fortresses were incredibly sturdy, and it would take a sustained half hour of heavy attacks to destroy them. But The problem, however, was that in that half hour they would not only have to take most of the fire from the fort, but they would also have to destroy the fiveartillery next to it.

When the enemy had no artillery, his own artillery unit could rely on its powerful firepower to crush the enemy. But a powerful army always has to meet an evenly matched opponent. Compared to this battle, the previous battle in Peralta city-state could only be considered a live-fire exercise.

The first target of an artillery attack is always the enemy's artillery, and the distance of an artillery battle in this world is around four or five hundred meters. Shelling each other at this distance spelled out courage, speed and care and a little bit of luck. So in this artillery battle, Renyu's commanded artillery group is personally feeling the elegance of the God of War. A strong and powerful shockwave of flames exploded around them, the smoke wrapped in red flames rose up to the sky, and the shattered shrapnel scraped past their steel helmets, emitting an ear-piercing friction sound.

The Japanese girl, who had already been transferred out of Renyu's care, had been scared shortly after the war started, her legs trembling, her eyes lifeless, and she seemed to have collapsed.Under the pretext of needing the artillery to need an observer to the maintenance factory for logistical support, Renyu sent the girl to the relative safety of Inoue Ohno.

Initially, Renyu's legs were also trembling uncontrollably, almost collapsing to the ground. However, unlike that Japanese girl, Renyu understood that he must not leave so easily. If he chose to retreat at this critical moment, Kalini would definitely execute him without hesitation. Therefore, he could only clench his teeth, hold back his inner fear and uneasiness, and hold on to the artillery position with deadly determination.

In the midst of the battle, Renyu was absorbed in watching the trajectory of the enemy's shells and trying to determine their position by calculation. But every time a shell hits his position, the thrilling sound of the explosion and the smoke that fills the air sends a pang of post-hoc fear through him. And the fear of whether the next shell would fall on his head continued to eat away at his nerves, leading to frequent errors in his calculations.

“Fall back thirty meters! Clockwise: 25.3 degrees! Elevation angle: 34 degrees! Fire!” Renyu yelled at the commanders of the artillery, his voice filled with a tremor of trying to hide his fear. Firing one shot for another, taking a mobile counterattack, and never letting the enemy have a second chance to correct their gun positions-this was the tactic Renyu employed. However, in the midst of the tense battle, Renyu unconsciously ordered his artillery to retreat, forgetting that his artillery was also tasked with another crucial mission - striking the enemy's steel five-pronged fortresses stuck in the road.

Just then, a messenger, braving the heavy artillery fire, hurried up to Renyu and said anxiously, "Captain of Artillery, General Kalini is asking what exactly you want to do. From now on, you are strictly forbidden to take another step back! Within forty minutes, the General demands that you suppress the enemy's fire. Failure to do so will be punishable by court-martial."

Hearing this news, Renyu's face instantly stiffened. There was no room for explanation on the battlefield, even though his side had suffered from more than seventy percent of the enemy's long-range firepower, that was no reason to retreat.Kalini would not accept such an explanation.

"Boom ......" A deafening roar exploded in Renyu's ears, a sound louder than thunder, causing his eardrums to chime for a long time. Just less than fifty meters away from Renyu, a steam artillery carriage was hit by enemy shelling. The hot water boiler was mercilessly flattened by the shell's shockwave, countless cracks appeared on the boiler's surface, and high-pressure steam gushed out along the cracks, forming a spectacular fountain of white mist. At the same time, the barrel of the gun was torn to pieces in the fire of the explosion, and the entire gun carriage collapsed, an exceptionally gruesome scene. A gun carriage was successfully destroyed by the enemy.

Time passes by, the battlefield is filled with smoke, this fierce artillery battle has lasted for 20 minutes, Renyu has been trying to stay calm and focused, always paying attention to every detail on the battlefield, he has completely abandoned the traditional way of calculating with drafts, and instead relies on the powerful mental arithmetic to complete the complex calculation tasks. In this kind of life-and-death situation, Renyu's potential was completely stimulated.

Quick!

Be quick!

To calculate faster!

This invisible sense of urgency constantly urged Renyu to speed up his calculations. He clearly knew that there was not much time left for them, and every second was a matter of life and death. Originally, he was not a good memorizer, but now under the pressure of death, he was able to memorize the information about the enemy's position and movement trajectory exposed by each firing. The rough outline of the enemy artillery movement was gradually sketched out in his mind.

In the 28th minute of the battle, Mina's side only had 18 gun trucks left. At this time, Renyu has been able to unify the command and complete the azimuthal trajectory shooting of the 18 gun carriages in just 3 seconds after the movement. Not only that, he also took into account the time difference between the re-adjustment of the 18 gun trucks, and accurately estimated the most likely position of the enemy's gun truck clusters.

“Fifteen, twelve, seventeen, one, nine, artillery fire.”With Renyu's order, the situation of this artillery versus artillery battle was reversed. the Mina Heavy Artillery, under Renyu's precise command, finally succeeded in launching a covering shot. The effect of this covering fire was remarkable, hitting the enemy's target directly.

刚刚完成射击的蒸汽炮,还未来得及移动,就被这突如其来的掩护打击击中,巨大的冲击力让炮架在地上剧烈翻滚,炮架上的各种零件、铆钉弹了出来,四处散落,惨状不堪入目。

但现在才刚刚开始。

渐渐进入状态的伦宇,也接连指挥了四轮齐射,四轮齐射,全部命中。他们刚开火,就被反击炮火掩护,弹道暴露,来不及撤退。米娜只有一架炮车被击毁,伦宇同意将其撤至维修区。

连续四发炮弹命中叛军炮台,让叛军炮兵们开始慌了,他们也是新手,之前和任宇的枪战中,也损失惨重,现在任宇进入了大脑超频状态,打出了比之前杀伤效率高出一个档次的炮弹,让他们心里压力越来越大,炮弹射击的速度和准度也越来越差。

“我们遭到了七组以上(一组有十门重型蒸汽炮)疑似敌人炮火的袭击……”佩拉尔塔叛军营地中出现了这样的传言。

贾科莫站在高大的机甲上,从远处观察,听着对方炮火混乱的声音,说道:“他们很害怕,正在安排自毁机器人进攻。”

三台身形散发着电火花、身高三米、携带着大量炸药的自毁机器人大摇大摆地向棱柱堡垒走去。随着对方的防御火力被仁宇一点一点地消灭,自毁机器人也毫无问题地抵达了棱柱堡垒的底部。五分钟后,第一座棱柱堡垒在三声惊天动地的巨响中被炸毁。

任宇的炮兵部队继续向下一座堡垒推进。
