Chapter 378

A 120 millimetre mortar is very fast.

The imperial soldiers in charge of these mortars were like sophisticated war machines. They kept on grabbing a heavy shell. As soon as the last one was ejected from the chamber, they put the next one into the muzzle.

The dull roar of the propellant kept on ringing.

Waves of shells with the call of dead birds, falling from the air, burst out a dazzling fire.

The barrage was three hundred feet from the front of the trench, and continued to move forward.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom"!

There was not much smoke, only snow, mud and blood flying all over the sky. The shock wave of the shell disappeared, and the disordered objects fell to the ground. The air on the battlefield became clean and the vision was extremely clear.

The wolves are wailing and the Highlanders are roaring.

Their simple heads couldn't figure out what was going on with these shells that were making terrible explosions.

In the past, when they exploded, should there be a lot of black smoke around them? Those smoke, should not be the most perfect cover for the charging wolves?

Under the shadow of the smoke of gunpowder, whether it is Musketeers or field artillery, they should not be able to aim at the heroic highland soldiers or the fierce wolves?

But what's going on now?

Many highlanders, who were swept up by the shock wave, were still racking their brains in the middle of the air.

What about the smoke?

How can the shell explode without smoke?

Also, there was no thick smoke from the firing of muskets above the imperial trench!

It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense!

High speed guns are roaring.

High speed machine guns are roaring.

Assault rifles were in the hands of the elite imperial soldiers, and they kept firing with a rhythm.

The Highlanders, who have already broken through to less than 300 feet away from the trench, are like straws harvested by giant scythes. They fall down one by one. They are more and more far away from the trench, 300 feet Four hundred feet Five hundred feet A thousand feet

Three hundred to a thousand feet in front of the trench were covered with the bodies of Highlanders and wolves.

In the dense corpse, a fire exploded, exploded the blood mist all over the sky, and exploded countless limbs and broken arms.

The Highlanders gritted their teeth and continued to rush forward.

The young nobles are miles away from the trench line.

They just heard the gunfire and gunfire, but they couldn't see what was going on ahead.

They just keep giving orders, constantly let the heralds blow the horn, and urge the Highlanders and wolves in front to rush forward with the fastest speed.

High in the air, a small airship flies by quickly.

Several scouts, armed with binoculars, have locked in the waving totem flag under these distinguished tribal nobles.

The airship circled in the air. A signalman reached out of the window of the pod and shook the two red flags in his hands.

In the woods, the big caliber howitzer is adjusting.

According to the information sent back by the air signal troops, several officers calculated the enemy's position, distance and the firing angle of these howitzers.

After just a few breaths, these big guys let out a crazy roar.

At high altitude, a new-style shell with a caliber of 155 millimetres flew by at a high speed, making a dull sound in the air.

After a few finger flicks, a large number of shells roared down and hit those waving totem flags.

The shell exploded.

The white shock wave, visible to the naked eye, swept out.

At the place where each shell landed, a huge flame swept across a hundred feet; the shock wave roared and spread around, and everything within 500 feet in diameter was blown away, torn and torn to pieces by the shock wave

On the ground, craters with a depth of more than ten or twenty feet and a diameter of tens of feet are constantly popping out. The craters are steaming hot, and there are melting snow water and hot blood falling into the craters.

Several hapless young nobles were hit by shells, and they, and their guards, disappeared directly in the light of the fire.

The young nobles near them, who were shocked by the terrible explosion, broke their eardrums, and blood kept falling down their earlobes. Many people rolled down from their own wolf's back, shouting like a madman.

A large group of black wolf cavalry were shocked by the shock wave. They vomited blood and curled up on the ground like their own wolves. They kept rolling and moaning in pain.

In the woods, Imperial Artillery opened the gun door, pulled out the steaming shell, and stuffed the new shell into the gun chamber.

For these artillery, which had at least opened up the sea of strength, the 155 millimetre caliber shells seemed light. They quickly reloaded, and the cannon roared again.Another wave of big caliber shells fell

Every shell sweeps out all life within hundreds of feet.

This is a terrifying firepower that has never been seen in medland. The lethality of these new howitzers is far more powerful than the old-fashioned mortar guns of 300 millimetres, 400 millimetres or even 800 millimetres.

But the firing speed of these new howitzers is at least ten times that of the old ones.

Waves of new shells continue to fly out, happily into the dense wolves

Blood, stumps, craters

High in the sky, three large war airships smashed the thick clouds and landed rapidly from high altitude. In the pods of three large war airships, a large group of soldiers held a high-speed machine gun and pulled the trigger.

A chain of fire fell from the sky and hit the head of the highland unprepared.

No one is on guard against this move.

This move, put in the age of the firerope gun or the flint gun, is basically an ineffective attack.

Thousands of feet above the ground, no matter whether it's a firerope gun or a flint gun, the bullets fired don't know where they will go with the wind.

These new large caliber high-speed machine guns have extremely fast muzzle velocity and an amazing range of more than one mile From a thousand feet above the ground, the bullet's lethality is the most terrifying distance.

The pods of three large war airships carry at least 300 high-speed machine guns.

The airship passed slowly from the air, and the barrage was evenly sprinkled on the Highlanders' heads.

When the war airship rowed across the battlefield and came to the rear of the wolves, more terrible attacks came. On the pylons extending from both sides of the war airship, bombs with a diameter of 1000 millimetres fell off and hit the ground heavily.

In the past, the 1000 millimetre diameter bombs carried by these war airships were filled with black powder, and their lethality was terrible.

Now, these 1000 millimetre caliber bombs are filled with new explosives from Joe.

There was an extremely loud and terrible explosion on the earth.

A black soil column exploded hundreds of feet high, and countless limbs and broken arms were sprayed thousands of feet away.

Even salean, who ordered the manufacture of these large bombs, did not expect that even Joe, who gave these drawings, could have such a terrifying effect on the battlefield.

Where the bomb landed, the Highlanders and wolves within a half mile radius were either directly crushed to pieces or completely lost all their ability to move. All of them were seriously injured by the shock and could not even howl.

One thousand millimetre round bombs were falling from the air.

There are so many bombs carried by the war airship. The density of the bombs dropped is so great that the interval between the bombs landing is only a tiny 500 feet

A black soil pillar rises continuously on the earth, the flames soar to the sky, and there are three death corridors from the east to the West under the three war airships.

Sarian stood on the hill, squinting at the effects of the war airship, and breathed heavily.

"Wasted At least 80% of the lethality is wasted... "

Salean said coldly: "the tactical effect of war airship combined with new bombs is excellent, but we must pay attention to effective killing There must be no waste of lethality. It's all golden marks

Salean, along with several generals of the army logistics department around him, was intoxicated and heartbroken at the wonderful scene in which only twenty or thirty thousand Imperial troops slaughtered highlanders wantonly.

In the past, the Highlanders' raids on such a scale required at least one million Imperial troops to rely on the high walls of male cities and the desperate resistance of battle fortresses to cope with the situation. When these highlanders had seized the pots and satisfied themselves with their cruel desires, these highlanders would return with their booty.

But this time, the imperial army only used tens of thousands of elite, combined with new weapons, and formed a hearty massacre on these brutal highlanders.

Even among the Highlanders, their personal combat power is the same as that of the imperial major general. Their extraordinary fighting power of the fifth level is actually blasted to pieces in front of the 30 milli caliber high-speed guns

The more powerful and more elite black wolf cavalry, who did not even have a chance to rush to the line of the Imperial Army, were blown apart by large caliber howitzers and giant bombs!

"Great changes have taken place in the way of war."

"With these new weapons, I am sure that the imperial army will have a huge strategic advantage over the entire medland countries."

"Generals, dear generals, your mission is here How to give full play to the maximum performance of these new weapons, and how to let soldiers make better use of these new weapons With new tactics, new tactics and new strategic ideas, your task has come! "

"In particular, you of the military university, you must study carefully what the future of the imperial army will be and what we will do to make the Imperial Army worthy of these powerful new weapons.""Do you have any ideas, people of the staff? With these new weapons, the Empire What should we do in the future? To Lucia, to the ice sea, to nice, to Saint Chia, to Gaul What attitude should we maintain? "

"But don't rush today Now, let's enjoy the roar of these guns, let's enjoy the blood and flesh of the Highlanders! "

Highlanders are struggling, yelling, and scurrying.

The chain is flying.

The shells are falling.

The imperial soldiers had already leaned out of the trench, laughing and scolding, pulling the trigger constantly, and knocking down one enemy after another who could not get close to them.
