126: Chapter 126 What is a real cannon?
"Use artillery, we must use artillery now!!"
Tojo Injin's expression was ferocious as he roared at the simulated battlefield below.
"There can't be many soldiers like that; as long as we bomb them to death, we can win!!"
"Use artillery, use the damn artillery for me!!!"
Tojo Injin could no longer suppress his emotions.
This mission in the Forbidden Ground was intended to crush Dragon Country.
He could not bear to be defeated by Dragon Country time and time again.
They were clearly a dying, defeated dog; how could they possibly make a comeback just by relying on some obscure civilization!!
This is impossible!!
He, Tojo Injin, would not allow this to happen!!
Tojo Injin's madness drew side-glances from the lords of other countries.
Once generals enter the battlefield, they cannot receive any more information, so Tojo Injin's roars were merely futile.
Bang, bang, bang ββββββ
The next moment, a series of artillery explosions erupted in the field.
The two howitzer positions of the Eastern Island side opened fire at full capacity, and the area where the skirmish had just occurred was instantly engulfed in explosions.
"They actually fired artillery!!" the lords of various countries exclaimed.
Their own people were still in there and hadn't retreated yet!
Wouldn't this round of explosions kill their own people along with the enemy?
Seeing the explosions, Tojo Injin's face twitched as a smile emerged.
"Well bombed! Well bombed! Bomb these damn vermin to death!!"
"As expected of the Eastern Island general; in a situation like this, one must be decisive!" MacArthur also spoke up.
"The soldiers on the front line of Dragon Country are indeed strong, but they have no artillery and no heavy weapons."
"Trading soldiers is not a loss for us at all!"
"As long as we cripple their frontline forces, Dragon Country will have no chance of a comeback!!"
Bang ββββ
Bang ββββ
Dense sounds of explosions rang out in the forest, with smoke and dust rising and dirt flying everywhere.
General Li Xin had intended to let the Armored Elite Soldiers finish things off once the killing was mostly done, and withdraw the ordinary soldiers.
He hadn't expected the Eastern Island side to be so decisive, bombing their own people as well.
After a rain of howitzer fire, three enemy platoons were completely wiped out, while his own side also lost nearly 200 men.
Some of the grenades that exploded nearby also damaged the armor of the Armored Elite Soldiers by about 2%.
However, these losses were meaningful because they revealed the location of the enemy's artillery positions.
This was exactly the effect he wanted!
General Li Xin's eyes flickered as he waved his spear.
"Skyfire Guard, prepare!"
"The Skyfire Guard is here, the Skyfire Guard is here!"
Someone in the high-level conference room shouted.
They had all seen the mighty power of the Skyfire Guard and were highly anticipating their strike.
"Those little Japanese devils probably think we don't have artillery, to dare to fire so continuously!"
"I hope they've placed all their artillery together so the Skyfire Guard can wipe them out in one go!"
"Not to mention anything else, with the accuracy of the Skyfire Guard, these few field howitzers are definitely done for."
"Bomb them to death! Let them witness the power of Great Qin's artillery!!"
Official livestream channel.
"Wow, the Skyfire Guard is here; those little Japanese devils are going to have a rough time now!"
"A few 80mm field guns dare to bark! Let us show you the heavenly might of our 500mm Great Qin artillery!!"
"Hahaha, one shot and they'll be sent straight to heaven to see their great-grandmothers!!"
"Come on!! Open fire on the little Japanese devils!!"
"Skyfire Bomb loading complete, target calibrated, requesting permission to fire!"
Both Skyfire Guard units were loaded, and the power of the Skyfire could be unleashed in an instant.
After firing a few rounds, the Eastern Island howitzers found no retaliation, so they added two more artillery positions.
Now, three artillery positions were exposed within the bombing range of the Skyfire Guard.
General Li Xin had originally wanted to save the Skyfire Guard for the end, but it seemed unnecessary now.
"Fire!!" General Li Xin roared.
With a boom, two blazing Skyfire Bombs shot straight into the sky.
After reaching their peak, the explosive stones split, and hundreds of small explosive stones fell toward the ground like a rain of fire.
Boom ββββββββββββββββββ
At the Three Alliance lords' seats, the light of the explosion struck everyone's eyes, and they instinctively shielded their faces with their hands.
The monstrous flames directly engulfed the artillery positions behind the entire camp.
The massive roar produced by the explosion almost shattered their eardrums.
Although the explosion occurred within the simulated battlefield, they felt as if it had detonated right above their heads.
Whoosh ββββββββββββ
A powerful shockwave spread out.
Trees toppled, vegetation turned to charcoal, and the earth became scorched soil.
The two artillery positions were unrecognizable, and the soldiers caught within were smashed beyond recognition.
MacArthur instinctively took out a cigar to light it, but found no fire, so he put the cigar down and wiped his sweat with his collar.
Tojo Injin's smile froze on his face, and the color was draining from it bit by bit.
Bear Country and the various independent powers were also silent, and the atmosphere at the lords' seats dropped to freezing point.
"Aha." MacArthur gave a miserable laugh.
Was there some special event involving falling meteorites? That couldn't have been artillery shells, right?
Boom ββββββββββββββββ
Another Skyfire Bomb landed, and the third artillery position vanished into the flames.
"Hahaha."
MacArthur suddenly laughed in resignation.
Although they couldn't see as clearly as those who had died, the England lords' seats also felt the intensity of the explosion.
Is this the power that artillery units of this era can have? All the lords were dumbfounded.
Especially those lords who had voiced skepticism; they were secretly hoping in their hearts that Su Yang was not the type to hold grudges.
Dragon Country's performance from the beginning until now was telling everyone just how foolish their doubts had been.
From the command of the generals to individual combat prowess, and now to powerful artillery.
Dragon Country was already far, far stronger than them.
In the future, all they needed to do was shut their mouths and listen to orders.
Elizabeth's eyes were full of shock as she stared at the screen in disbelief.
"The shock brought to her by those monstrous flames was even greater than that of the Armored Soldier."
"To master artillery is to master the future; in this light, Dragon Country has firmly grasped the future!!"
On the other side, the Lord of Spain looked horrified, and his expression toward Su Yang turned to one of awe.
Wait, those explosions at the Insect Nest that were enough to affect communication, they couldn't have been caused by the Boss, right!
The Dragon Country livestream channel was ignited by the power of the Skyfire Guard.
"It's truly exciting every time I watch it; the Skyfire Guard has really struck a chord in my heart!"
"This is what you call real artillery, my dudes!"
"I really want to see the expressions over there; they must be sweating buckets by now."
"So what if the Three Alliance forces combined! A true master is not afraid of being targeted!"
"Too strong, too strong..."
Simulated trial field.
After three shots from the Skyfire cannons, General Li Xin felt the world had become quiet.
He even felt that the spear in his hand was a bit weak; if only he could carry the Skyfire Guard to kill the enemy.
After three rounds of artillery, General Li Xin reorganized his troops.
Although they had lost nearly 300 men, the damage the Skyfire cannons inflicted on the opposite side was certainly greater.
General Li Xin gripped his silver spear, his eyes flickering.
Let's take advantage of the enemy's shock to end this battle!
