Chapter 171: 171Fortunately I’m here

 Chapter 171171Fortunately I’m here

The soldiers did not take this level of artillery fire seriously, but the officers could hear something different from the sound of artillery fire of this magnitude.

An officer lightly tapped the edge of the table with his fingers. During the brief interval of shelling, he looked at his colleagues and said, "It's not a small scale. There are at least 50 front-loading field guns!"

"My calculation is about the same, about 50 artillery pieces. It seems that the opponent has assembled at least five legions of artillery..." Another officer also agreed with his companion's judgment.

“Is it worth a round of counterattack?” The officer who spoke first looked at the artillery commander beside him and asked.

The artillery commander nodded slightly and ordered the signal flag bearer standing not far away: "Let the battalion artillery fire! Give the enemy an appetizer!"

“You are so stingy.” The officer on the side laughed at the artillery commander and said, “The enemy has already displayed half of its cannons, but you are still reluctant to use the C80?”

"They deserve it?!" The artillery commander curled his lips in disdain, and countered the ridicule of several comrades with contempt: "I asked the artillerymen of the battalion to do it because I was bullying them. There is also a C80. I am afraid of the C80 cannon. It was so loud that it scared those **** away!”

 “Hahahaha!” A group of officers laughed like this. In their laughter, the two battalions of artillery deployed behind the position and 10 C64 breech field mounts retreated and let out their roars.

"Boom!" On the position, the air waves from the cannon's muzzle blew away the sand, raised dust, and filled the entire artillery position.

The ballistics of these retractable cannons are actually not very good. According to classification, they are all cannons with straight trajectories.

However, Tang Mo's C64 artillery uses breech loading, which has good air tightness, long range, accurate shooting, and most importantly - it uses grenades!

Compared to solid bullets, the explosive power of grenades is terrifying. The ten artillery roared together, and the momentum was not inferior to the Cyric muzzle-loading cannons that were firing in a new round.

For a moment, the sound of artillery rumbled on the battlefield, and then dust and columns of smoke rose from Cyric's artillery position.

 The grenade fell, hit the ground and triggered the impact fuse, detonating the shell and exploding at Cyric's artillery position.

These shells kicked up the earth, damaged the cannon, and destroyed many unfortunate Cyric artillerymen.

Just after a salvo, Tang Mo's artillery had the advantage of rapid reloading. While the fifty Cyric front-loading field guns were still cleaning the barrels, Tang Mo's cannon opened fire again.

Smokeless gunpowder allowed Tang Mo's artillerymen to save a lot of time when cleaning the gun barrels, and the new artillery shells also made loading very convenient.

 In short, the weapons of both sides have actually formed a generation gap. In this case, Cyric is naturally extremely passive.

Just when Cyric's artillerymen were preparing for the third salvo despite the enemy's intensive artillery fire, the fifth round of Datang Group's artillery shells fell on their heads.

An artillery shell detonated the gunpowder stored next to a cannon. The explosion blew away all the surrounding artillery and two cannons that were preparing to fire.

The wheels of the two loaded cannons were blown out, and the entire artillery fell down in the field, looking so miserable and miserable.

The soldiers hiding around stood up in twos and threes, dusted themselves off, and shook their heads to restore their hearing.

Under the supervision of the officers, these artillerymen, who had become somewhat numb and accustomed to it, returned to their own artillery fearfully, ignited the guns, and fired their third salvo.

 As for this salvo, the sound of artillery on Cyric's side seemed a little sparse. There are about 20 artillery pieces firing, and the impact points of the shells are still in the empty spaces...

"Are there any wounded? Is anyone wounded?" In the trench, a medical soldier with a white cuff on his arm, carrying a medicine box and holding a revolver on his waist, passed by one bored soldier after another. He drawled and seemed bored too.

There is no way. Since the war started, it seems that the entire Datang Group's security forces have not even had a single wounded person. Everyone feels a little bored with the current situation of the battle.

 So far, Tang Mo has only exposed two machine gun positions, and the full force involved in the counterattack is only 10 75mm-caliber field guns. The enemy on the opposite side was already showing signs of collapse.

It’s all like this, can everyone not be embarrassed? When they walked out of the barracks and entered the defensive position, everyone was determined to fight **** battles for the Datang Group. However, once the fight started, everyone realized that training at home would be more interesting...

The tactical ideas taught by the instructors are much more advanced than the combat literacy shown by the opponent: during the drill, the imaginary enemy was a pervert with machine guns and artillery, but in the actual battle, the opponent was a group of fools who couldn't even lay down...

This gap is too big. A group of warriors who have learned dragon-slaying skills go out to rescue the princess. In the end, they find that the person who kidnapped the princess is a little pine tree...

"Is anyone injured? Those with sprained feet are also included!" the medical soldier shouted, and he couldn't help laughing.

 “I may have had insomnia, I haven’t even fallen asleep yet!” A soldier holding a gun joked amid the sound of cannons, and the laughter of several soldiers around him became even louder. "Shut up! You're still laughing! Shut up! Be serious! This is a war!" the squad leader, who was patrolling the position with a lever rifle, yelled while holding back his laughter.

“Someone is wounded in front! Someone is wounded here!” Finally, a solid shell hit the trench, raising a cloud of dust. The soldiers shouted from the front, urgent and nervous: "Medic! Medic!"

Hearing the call, the medical soldier who was bored just now immediately became energetic, as if he was recharged. He held the medical box in one hand and rushed forward.

He was so excited that he took three strides and rushed to the side of the soldier who called the medic. He asked loudly and joyfully: "Where is the wounded! Where is the wounded?"

The soldier was patting the dirt off his shoulders, squinting and pointing to the other side of the trench where a piece of the trench had collapsed.

The medic rushed over, jumped over the round shells embedded in the soil, knelt down on one knee, and nervously looked at the body of the soldier sitting on the ground.

The soldier was a little embarrassed and embarrassed. When the medical soldier asked himself for the third time, he handed a hand to the medical soldier who had finally found a job: "This... hurts here."

The medical soldier took a closer look and finally found the wound: some skin was scratched on the fist bone on the back of the soldier's hand.

 “No, it doesn’t matter, right?” The soldier seemed to feel that his comrade was making a fuss out of a molehill. The soldier asked with some embarrassment.

"Thankfully I'm here..." The medical soldier took out the hemostatic powder and a piece of cut gauze from his pocket. He lowered his head and bandaged the soldier and said.

"Ah? Is it serious?" The so-called wounded soldier was a little confused. When he was working as a cobbler, he would occasionally get injuries on his hands, and sometimes they would be much more serious than this. He didn't even bandage it at that time, thinking that this minor injury was completely unnecessary.

 From what the medic said, it seemed as if this inconspicuous injury was serious.

“Fortunately, I ran here...otherwise everything would be fine.” The medical soldier said while wrapping gauze on the soldier’s hand and gasping for breath.

“Pfft…hahahaha!” A group of soldiers hiding in the trench with their guns couldn’t hold back anymore and laughed together. They laughed wildly, just like a group of children laughing during a spring outing.

 Finally, the sound of cannons began to subside. Cyric finally couldn't bear the loss and ordered the artillery to withdraw from the battle in embarrassment.

The 10 artillery pieces of Datang Group fired nearly 100 rounds of grenades at extremely fast speeds, teaching Cyric's private army how to behave.

After leaving the bodies of more than 300 soldiers and the wreckage of 29 artillery pieces, Cyric's troops retreated one kilometer before stopping to regroup.

 In this way, almost one-tenth of Cyric's troops were wiped out, and a third of the cannons were lost...

 And they don’t even know what their opponents are like, what weapons they have, or what trump cards they have.

What irritated Giese the most was that what he was most worried about had happened. Datang Group had risen from every aspect and was no longer so easy to deal with.

As for artillery, which he felt had the smallest gap, Cyric was no longer a match for Datang Group.

"Sir! You can't make fun of our capital! Letting the soldiers die in vain will cause more trouble." Baron Stella persuaded Guise with a guilty conscience.

He was unwilling to let his troops go up to die. In addition, he had just seen the enemy's artillery fire with his own eyes. He felt that he should not bury all his troops in this poor place.

"Then what should we do? Say sorry to that **** Tang Mo, I went to the wrong place, did you bother me?" Guis clenched his fists, stared at Baron Stella and asked: "Since you want a share of the pie, and You brought your troops here, do you still expect to go back? Do you think Wright VII can let you go?"

Stella felt dizzy when she mentioned this matter - after all, it was too early for him to place the bet. If he had known that Datang Group was so difficult to deal with, he would definitely not have caused trouble with Cyric.

Thinking of this, he sighed and asked in a somewhat broken voice: "Then, sir, what should we do now?"

"My people charge first! If one legion doesn't come down, it's your turn to continue attacking! If you can't come down again, I'll let another legion go up! I don't believe it! Three legions took turns to attack, but they still can't take it down That **** Tang Mo's first line of defense!" Gis said through gritted teeth.

　　Hearing that his troops did not have to be the first to charge, Baron Stella breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he felt that this was the only way to do it, so he stood up and said: "My lord, then I will go back to the legion to prepare."

　　When Stella walked out of the big tent, Jisi looked at Chumluo who was standing there doing nothing, and scolded in a low voice: "Why don't you keep an eye on him? Idiot!"
