A military off-road vehicle rushed out from the base. This off-road vehicle completely inherited the rugged and durable construction of Jeep. The leading officer pulled up his military cap, took out his pocket watch from his pocket and took a look at the time.
Exactly twelve o'clock.
Alfonso pulled his collar. He was once a robber and robber, but now he paid the most attention to appearance and posture.
He is the captain of the Sixth Regiment of the Second Corps and is responsible for the task of pioneering the road.
Following closely behind were hundreds of military trucks, which in addition to being loaded with soldiers, also pulled more than twenty Merlo A-type 75mm electromagnetic infantry cannons.
This electromagnetic infantry gun is light in weight and can be carried away by five soldiers after it is disassembled. It is the main support firepower of the regiment.
Mortars are naturally indispensable. Each brigade is equipped with ten 120mm mortars, and the squadron is equipped with five 80mm mortars.
At three o'clock in the morning, Alfonso arrived at the designated combat position and began to order people to set up the Merlot A 75mm electromagnetic infantry cannon. The fortress located at the outermost edge of the anti-Melot defense line was a full twelve kilometers long. This was also the Merlot A type.
The maximum range of the 75mm electromagnetic infantry gun.
Alfonso stood on a hillside and observed the condition of the fortress, then estimated the design drawings obtained and ordered people to select the weakest areas of the fortress.
"Put on the magic-breaking armor bullets!"
The artillery moved quickly, and the advantages of this army composed of professionals were undoubtedly revealed.
A box of artillery shells weighs more than 100 kilograms. One artilleryman can easily carry it and run. If the position of the Merlot A 75mm electromagnetic infantry gun is offset, several artillerymen can lift it up and adjust the position easily.
Alfonso once experimented that when two artillerymen join forces, they can easily lift the infantry cannon and run it for thousands of meters without even dismantling the infantry cannon. The speed is not slower than that of ordinary soldiers, which makes Aslan's black artillery plan perfect.
Just shoot and run away.
As the flag bearer waved the command flag in his hand, deafening cannon fire rang out, and twenty cannonballs with yellow arc light flew out from the muzzle and fell towards the fortress of the anti-Japanese defense line.
Although the distance was twelve kilometers, in the quiet night, the sound of artillery was still clearly transmitted to the anti-Mei defense line fortress.
When the officers on the fortress heard the sound, it was already too late, because the cannonballs fell to the fortress faster than the sound, and several weak points of the fortress were directly blasted. The magic circuits on the fortress walls only lit up slightly and then completely lost their function.
The magic-breaking armor-piercing bullet does not have any explosive effect, but its powerful penetrating power can easily penetrate 200mm steel plates. It is as easy as drinking water to deal with ordinary cement walls such as the Anti-Mei Defense Line.
Of course, those key forts with walls as thick as one meter are a bit weak.
The sound of artillery quickly awakened the soldiers and officers within the anti-Japanese defense line, and they quickly entered combat positions.
The air cannons on several key fortresses quickly adjusted their angles and positions. Even if they relied on terrain advantages, they could not quickly hit the artillery of the United Army.
On the one hand, they have not gone through systematic artillery training and calculated angular range. On the other hand, the air compression of the air cannon is relatively slow and can only fire one shell per minute at the fastest.
Alfonso saw that the turrets on the anti-Japanese defense line had extended their barrels and shouted: "Let the artillery troops move immediately."
The artillerymen who were in high spirits quickly picked up the Merlot A 75mm electromagnetic infantry cannon and ran away. When nearly a hundred artillery shells fell into their position, although the shells hit scattered locations, they successfully hit the original artillery position.
cover.
Seeing this scene, Alfonso couldn't help but say something.
"It seems that the other party also has capable people!"
This is trading range for time.
Although the air cannons on the anti-Mei defense line have a low rate of fire, they can't stand up to other people's cannons, and they still have a good reputation.
"Ask the Air Mage Brigade to knock out these artillery pieces." Alfonso said to the herald next to him.
Within a moment, the aviation magic brigade set off and flew towards the anti-Mei defense line. They did not dive bomb at low altitudes, but stood at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. Everyone began to aim at the gaps in the turrets.
"Pyroblast! Fire!" Medoriya said coldly.
A magic circle appeared at the guns of the Aviation Magic Brigade, and then a flaming explosive bomb flew towards the turret.
The pyroblast bombs instantly enveloped the entire turret, causing the turret to misfire. Behind the team, magician-level magic soldiers were already accumulating power.
"Siege technique! Launch!"
Pyroblast bombs cover the strike to cover the real killer behind.
The magic siege cannon perfectly combines pyrotechnic bombs and armor-piercing bombs, plus the thrust of the second-stage electromagnetic magic, which can explode with terrifying power. It is a new war magic specially developed for turtle-shell facilities such as fortresses.
The new magic developed by Verdilon and Jeddu only needs to be combined with a gun and staff to exert its true power.
Duke Medea also personally commented that its power is worthy of top-level magic.
The aftermath of the pyroblast explosion had just dissipated, and the gunners in the turret were blown to pieces, with many of them bleeding from six or seven holes.
Obviously, the fortress considered artillery protection, but did not lay sandbags inside the walls to reduce the explosion shock wave.
"Hurry, get back to your post." The gunnery commander had just finished shouting when he heard a deafening sound from the turret ceiling above his head. He subconsciously covered his ears, and then saw the air cannon split into pieces, and the dazzling flames instantly engulfed them.
One wave of attacks directly blew up ten turrets, causing the artillery fire on the anti-Mei defense line to slow down slightly. The aviation magic brigade quickly flew towards another target. They had to catch up before the aviation force of the Federal Kingdom of Cleveland arrived.
Take care of the turret.
The fortress lost its turret this time, and the United Army slowly advanced with shouts.
This moment shocked the Kingdom soldiers in the fortress inside the anti-Mei defense line.
After the bombardment, there was a siege, and then the aviation magic troops of the Cleveland Federation Kingdom also arrived. The battle became anxious, and the troops originally stationed on the outer border were transferred back to the anti-Japanese defense line.
A large number of troops reinforced the anti-Mei defense line, leaving a large number of gaps in the original defense line. Although these gaps cannot allow large troops to pass, small-scale troops can pass without difficulty.
Of course, the federal kingdom of Cleveland cannot be without any defenses. There are outposts every kilometer along the border, leaving only a few old, weak, sick, and disabled people at the outposts.
"Squad leader! Do you think Marquis Aslan's unified army will come to kill us?" A thin middle-aged man pulled up his helmet and asked around with wary eyes.
The squad leader among the middle-aged people is an old man over fifty years old, with gray hair on his temples and a stooped body. When he heard about the United Army, his eyes couldn't help but sharpen.
He recalled an encounter he had when he returned home some time ago.
At that time, he understood that this would be the last chance for his family to turn over.
