Interstellar Soldier

Chapter 535 Time to Counterattack
Following Yuyang's order, the 1 heavy artillery that had already entered the position opened fire at the same time, firing [-] powerful high-explosive shells within [-] minute.In order to avoid being hit by enemy artillery fire, these heavy artillery drove back to the bunker as quickly as possible after completing three consecutive shots.

It's just that the heavy artillery was not aimed at the humanoid rock demon army that was rushing towards the line of defense.

Tens of seconds later, as [-] high-explosive bombs fell, the artillery position behind the Silicon Demon army turned into a sea of ​​flames. Those artillery who were showing off their power at first and posing a serious threat to the human legion on the line of defense suffered annihilation. The heavy artillery of the Silicon Charm army also suddenly became dumb.

It can be said that this is an extremely beautiful artillery strike.

Although this was the first time to command a large-scale ground battle, Yang Yi's learning ability was extremely strong, and he immediately realized that the greatest threat was not the silicon demon army that had already reached the front of the defense line, but the artillery in the distance.Under the suppression of artillery fire, not only the officers and soldiers on the defense line could not go to the position to fight, even heavy tanks could hardly survive after leaving the bunker, so as long as the enemy's artillery was still firing, don't even try to hold the defense line.

After making this judgment, Yang Yi immediately asked Yuyang to adjust the deployment.

At this time, the detectors provided by the Weaving Stars played a vital role.

These detectors that have been hovering over the heads of the Silicon Demon army discovered the enemy's artillery positions in time, providing the most important information for the human legion to launch artillery counterattacks.It is precisely because of knowing the exact position of the enemy's artillery positions that when the enemy's artillery was suppressing artillery fire, the heavy artillery of the human legion got a chance to counterattack, and only one counterattack destroyed all the enemy's long-range artillery, at least it was exposed. long-range artillery.If there is no accurate information, let alone only a hundred heavy artillery, even a thousand heavy artillery will not help.

More importantly, this artillery counterattack effectively contained the enemy's attack.

With the end of the enemy's artillery fire suppression, the [-] heavy tanks on the position came out of the bunker again, and began to fire at the humanoid rock demon rushing up.

To deal with rock monsters, there is no need to use expensive armor-piercing rounds, and high-explosive rounds are more efficient.

Although the main gun of the heavy tank is not as good as the heavy gun, the power of the high-explosive shell fired is also huge enough to kill the humanoid rock demon without any problem.More importantly, heavy tanks have a faster rate of fire from their main guns.There is no need to aim when dealing with cluster targets, and the rate of fire can reach fifteen rounds per minute.

In addition to the main gun, the heavy tank is also equipped with small-caliber machine guns.

Four hundred heavy tanks are four hundred mobile firepower points.

Because they no longer worried about being hit by artillery fire, all four hundred heavy tanks remained on the position, becoming the most powerful firepower output point on the position.

At the same time, all the officers and soldiers of the four legions took their positions and began to fire at the rushing enemy.

Although the humanoid rock demon rushing to the front was less than 500 meters away from the human army's defense line, the last 500 meters became an insurmountable moat.Because the commander in the rear did not give an order to retreat, even if they were hit by covering firepower, the 15 humanoid rock demons of the fifteen legions did not stop, and they were still advancing without hesitation, and then became without any suspense. cannon fodder.

It can be said that this is not a battle at all, but a massacre.

Although the humanoid rock demons were also firing at the human officers and soldiers on the ground, there were trenches and bunkers, and the casualties suffered by the human officers and soldiers were minimal.

After a few minutes, the enemy commander finally realized that nothing was wrong with the storm and gave the order to retreat.

In just a few minutes, at least tens of thousands of humanoid rock demons were killed, and even those who escaped by chance were mostly seriously injured.

The battle didn't end, it just moved elsewhere.

When the humanoid rock demon army was withdrawing, the artillerymen of the silicon demon army spoke.

Apparently, the commander of the Silicon Demon army also realized that the human legions on the defense line are not to be feared, but the heavy artillery deployed in the barracks is the threat.

The shelling was extremely violent and accurate.

The first few rounds of firing covered the position of the heavy artillery. Although most of the shells were intercepted and did not fall, many shells still exploded in the barracks.

But, it still doesn't make much sense.

It's very simple, before the Silicon Charm army counterattacked with artillery fire, the hundred heavy artillery had already withdrawn to the bunker, and did not stay in the position where they fired before.

Obviously, the Silicon Charm army doesn't understand the situation of the human legion, let alone accurately grasp the movement of the human legion.

In contrast, Yang Yi can grasp every move of the Silicon Charm army in real time.

Just when the Silicon Charm army was fighting back with artillery fire, Yang Yi asked Yuyang to give the order.Before the shelling of the Silicon Demon army was over, the hundred heavy artillery that maneuvered to the reserve position opened fire again.The result is obvious, those long-range artillery that were firing on the barracks all suffered a catastrophe.

It can be said that this is a battle between artillerymen.

If there is any advantage to the Silicon Charm army, it is that there are enough long-range artillery, while the human army only has one hundred heavy artillery.In other words, even if they suffer a heavy blow and suffer heavy losses, the artillery of the Silicon Charm army will not lose their combat effectiveness immediately.Relatively speaking, the human legion cannot afford too much loss.As long as there is a mistake, let the enemy seize the opportunity, and the main long-range firepower will be lost.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen.

In the artillery battle that lasted for several hours, the Silicon Demon army lost at least thousands of long-range artillery pieces, while the human legion had less than ten heavy artillery pieces damaged, and the damage was only slight.According to the artillery report, these damaged heavy artillery can be repaired, but it will take some time.

These few hours of shells also completely destroyed the confidence and fighting spirit of the commander of the Silicon Charm army.

To put it bluntly, as long as the heavy artillery of the human legion is still firing, let alone a hundred silicon demon legions, even a thousand silicon demon legions may not be able to win.More importantly, launching an attack before suppressing the heavy artillery of the Human Legion is to let the Silicon Demon Legion die.

The problem is, just relying on the long-range firepower of the Silicon Charm Legion, it is impossible to suppress the heavy artillery of the Human Legion.

The shells, which lasted several hours, have proven this.

Although the commander of the Silicon Demon army has realized that the opponent has a reliable way to obtain battlefield information and grasp every move of the Silicon Demon army, otherwise those heavy artillery could not be so sharp, let alone avoid the Silicon Demon army in time every time shelling.But the commander of the Silicon Charm army can only look at the ocean and sigh, because after fighting for so long, the Silicon Charm Army has not found the few small detectors hovering above it.

With no choice but to call in backup, the commander of the Silicon Charm's army.

With the reappearance of those Silicon Phantom warships, the fierce artillery battle came to an end.

Although the heavy artillery is powerful, as long as it hits directly, it will definitely destroy the small warships of the Silicon Magic Alliance, but no one will use heavy artillery to deal with the warships.

Very simple, the rate of fire of the heavy artillery is too slow, and the speed of the shells is not fast enough, the probability of hitting the battleship is almost zero.

Facing the warships of the Silicon Charm Alliance, Yang Yi had no choice but to let the heavy artillery withdraw to the bunker.

However, the enemy came prepared this time.

After the battleship started bombing, Yang Yi discovered that it was not the artillery positions that were bombed, but the air defense positions, that is, the anti-aircraft weapons deployed in the barracks.

Now, the problem is serious.

Although anti-aircraft weapons are heavily protected, each anti-aircraft turret has an independent energy barrier, and is directly driven by an SSS-level original energy converter. In the case of focused bombing, the energy barrier will definitely not be able to last forever.Because the anti-aircraft turrets are all fixed and cannot be maneuvered like heavy artillery, so as long as the energy barrier is damaged, they will be destroyed.Without anti-aircraft turrets, the entire barracks would be exposed to enemy warships.At that time, the enemy does not need to launch a ground attack at all, and can completely destroy the barracks just by bombing, killing all human officers and soldiers in the barracks.

Clearly, the enemy has found the right tactic.

For this reason, Yuyang proposed to send the special investigation brigade and female warrior guards to strengthen the anti-aircraft turret, that is, to use its own small original energy converter to strengthen the energy barrier.The female warriors all have S-level primary energy converters, and the officers and soldiers of the Special Investigation Brigade are not bad, so they will definitely be able to hold on for a while.

The question is, how long can it last?
Besides, the special investigation brigade and the female warrior guards are Yang Yi's ace troops, and they are the only mobile troops that can go deep into the enemy's rear and fight alone.If it is used to compete with the enemy for consumption, even if it is only to consume the ubiquitous original energy, it is tantamount to reckless waste.

In addition, in Yang Yi's view, the best defense is offense.

The enemy has already begun to attack the barracks, and the battle lasted for several hours. Although the defense line has not been breached and is still in the hands of the human legion, but they have been pressed and beaten by the enemy, and the officers and soldiers on the defense line will definitely be affected.There is no problem now, just because there are not too many casualties.As the fighting continues, casualties are certainly inevitable.At that time, the morale of the frontline legion will definitely be a problem.

The only way to change this situation is to launch a decent counterattack and use victory to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers.

In fact, Yang Yi has long been aware of this, and has been waiting for the opportunity.

In addition, before this, the situation was not urgent, at least the morale of the frontline legion was not a problem, so there was no need to rush to launch a counterattack.

With the arrival of the Silicon Charm battleship again, and the focus on bombing the anti-aircraft turrets of the barracks, Yang Yi had no other choice.

Even from the point of view of the battle situation, now is not the best time to launch a counterattack, because even if they win, it will not help much to improve morale.It's just that if those silicon demon battleships are allowed to continue bombing unscrupulously, even if they don't suffer losses, they will lose confidence and hope of victory because they are constantly being attacked by the enemy.

Considering these, Yang Yi did not adopt Yuyang's suggestion, but decided to change from passive to active.

If those silicon demon warships can be killed in front of millions of soldiers on both sides, it will not only boost the fighting spirit of human officers and soldiers, but also weaken the morale of silicon demon soldiers.

Killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?
