Chapter 449 The fear of being dominated by giants!
About ten kilometers southwest of the Star Gate.
Thick and long barbed wire fences can be seen crisscrossing the arid land.
Looking down from a high altitude, the dry yellow earth seems to have been whipped countless times, leaving behind these horrific and ugly ferocious 'scars'.
Behind this dangerous zone.
The first trench appeared, with no end of its length visible.
They are mainly divided into forward fire trenches and rear support trenches, as well as zigzag communication trenches connecting the two main trenches, with 400,000 to 500,000 army troops stationed inside.
Around these trenches, you can also see bunker buildings that look like little giants.
The United World Army has several years of sufficient preparation time.
Therefore, these semi-permanent machine gun bunkers, sniper posts, observation posts and other defenses were directly made of concrete and stone bricks, basically one every fifty meters.
On the left and right sides of the traffic trench, two armored trains drove slowly along the rails below, like giant snakes patrolling their territory.
Each armored train is divided into five steel carriages, and each carriage is equipped with a 105-mm anti-giant cannon and two Maxim heavy machine guns.
Together these form a line of defense.
Its length is hundreds of kilometers, which just separates the three states of Bari/Sanag/Sole/Nogar in Somalia in the Brak Peninsula region.
And there is a similar defense line every one kilometer, with a total of twelve defense lines, housing nearly 10 million troops, thousands of machine gun bunkers and more than 20 artillery positions of various types.
And behind these lines of defense is an even larger logistics area.
A large number of houses, small buildings, squares, roads and airports prepared for airships and aircraft troops.
This is a battlefield built with nearly 80% of the giant world's military strength and massive resources and manpower. They are ready for a comprehensive war of resistance...
"Blake, have you noticed that the noise coming from the front is getting louder and louder?"
In a fire trench somewhere on the second line of defense.
A young man wearing a silver-gray steel helmet, with many small pockmarks on his face, and brown hair, while holding the Mosingana rifle in his arms tightly, used his brown eyes to carefully bow to his companions. said the voice.
In his ears, the continuous roar of explosions and rapid machine gun fire came not only from the front, but also from above his head.
But he is just a soldier in the army, and there is no need to care about heavenly matters for the time being.
"It should be that the fire trenches in front have been captured. Now our people have retreated to the support trenches..."
The black-haired young man known as Black leaned against the earthen wall of the trench with his eyes closed. He casually said something to Arnold, and then said: "Before it is our turn, you should seize the time to recuperate and cherish this place." There is not much peace left.”
Anol pursed his lips and asked again: "Do you think we can defeat these alien invaders?"
"I don't know whether we can win or not, but I know that no matter we win or lose, we are both dead. But I already got Melissa before I came here, so I have no regrets."
Blake still didn't open his eyes, because in the dark world, he could more clearly imagine that beautiful, white and gentle smile.
Ever since he was assigned to this second line of defense, he realized that he was destined to die.
"Ah, you actually?!"
Arnold looked at his friend in shock. Soon, his eyes were full of envy and disappointment, because he also liked Melissa.
"No, Melissa can't possibly like you. She always said she wanted to marry a rich man. You..."
"Well, she doesn't like me, but that doesn't stop me from taking her body before coming here. I can't go back anyway, so why shouldn't I feel good about it?"
Blake suddenly opened his eyes and looked calmly at the nine small black dots in the blue sky.
He knew that those were spaceships from another world. They were obviously not airships, but they were able to float in the air, which was incredible.
When they first arrived, they were besieged by countless anti-aircraft guns, and then many blue afterimages and green-yellow flames appeared to block all attacks.
However, they didn't seem to have any intention of fighting back, and directly raised the altitude.
After reaching a position beyond the reach of anti-aircraft guns, it stopped there motionless, as if waiting for something.
"What, Blake, how could you do this!"
After hearing this, Arnold stood up abruptly and glared at Blake angrily. He ignored the surprised looks of others and loudly accused: "You are committing a crime, and the person you are hurting is Melissa. She is terrible.
I have never offended you!"
"crime?"
Blake sneered and said: "Now that I am on the battlefield, I will fight against the invaders from another world for everyone, so no matter what the crime is, it should be offset!"
"you......"
Arnold was so angry that he stretched out his hand to grab Blake's collar.
boom!】
But at this moment, a violent explosion occurred outside the trench. The deafening sound and turbulent air waves caught him off guard and pushed him to the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]
In an instant, more cannonballs fell from the air to the area covered with wire and thorns, and groups of fires shot up into the sky.
"They are clearing minefields..."
Blake's face was livid, and he stared at the nine black spots above his head, only to find that they were landing on one side and firing continuously towards the outside.
It turns out that there are a large number of landmines buried under the barbed wire fences, and when our own side needs to pass through, they use railroad tracks and armored trains to transport supplies and soldiers.
"It seems that the opponent has already suffered losses at the first line of defense!"
Indeed, this bad boy named Blake guessed correctly. At the first line of defense in the front, from the Army of the World Government, more than a dozen Kabaneri warriors died on landmines, and even several giants.
The soldiers all suffered some injuries.
The kind of serial explosions that suddenly occurred from under your feet was too late to prepare for it.uuReadingwww.uukanshu.com a>
The key is that people in Starfish World basically have no idea about landmine tactics, so they only see those barbed wires blocking the road.
As a time traveler, Yin Mu certainly knows something about it.
But he really didn't expect such a thing, so he reminded the people in the headquarters to pay attention to landmines and so on.
But even if he noticed it, Yoon Mu probably wouldn't interfere.
After all, it is best for the people below to accumulate this kind of war experience on their own, little by little, even if they have to pay a certain amount of sacrifice as tuition.
This is not the case.
Now that he had learned his lesson, the Air Chief of the headquarters directly gave Marco an order to command the nine flying warships he led to bomb the minefields on the second line of defense.
As for Charlotte Lingling, she is an honorary general and actually has no actual command authority.
Half an hour later, the artillery stopped, the explosions subsided, and there was a mess outside the trench.
But the next second, screams and exclamations sounded one after another from all over the trench. Arnold lay trembling on the earth wall, looking at the other end in horror, one after another appearing in the smoke.
A scary figure.
"Giant... giant..."
They were giant warriors about twenty meters tall. They wore black armor with blood-red lines on the surface. They were holding giant cold weapons made of the same material as the armor. The black coats behind them were swaying in the wind and waves.
The brave aura was mixed with a strong evil spirit. As they continued to approach, it turned into a raging wind of fear that blew in the hearts of all the soldiers in the trench.
Giants seem to be a fear passed down from generation to generation in the blood of most people in this world.
At this moment, they once again experienced the feeling of their ancestors being dominated by giants, but this time it was giants from another world...
