Kivotos Warlord Development Manual

"Ahem... I mean... is it possible that we can break through the refinery's defenses before the minister does?"

Xiao Hei, who was lifting up her shirt to receive the pain-relieving spray, gasped, but even that did not stop the smug look on her face.

Xiaohong, who looked disgusted, handed her a hemostatic injection and then casually continued the conversation.

"I just received news that the minister has blown up the refinery's pier and is currently taking a suicide ship to launch a raid on the refinery's dock area."

"If we don't hurry up, the minister might open the door from the inside soon."

"As expected of the Minister, she is able to break through the battlefield very quickly. Isn't she coming to the southern battlefield?"

"The liaison officer on the eastern battlefield didn't say anything, but if everything goes well, he probably won't come here."

Xiao Hei skillfully broke off the needle, squeezed the hemostatic agent into his mouth and swallowed it, then began to complain with a sigh on his face.

"This thing is too unpalatable. Let Qian-chan ask the Emergency Medicine Department if they can improve the taste..."

"Forget it, Chi-chan drank too much hemostatics. During the last physical examination, a slight blood clot was found. As a result, Director Sena held her in the emergency medicine department and gave her several injections before she was released. Now, those of us who frequently abuse hemostatics are also the focus of Director Sena's observation."

As they spoke, the two girls seemed to recall the scene of the gray-haired boy being pressed on the hospital bed and getting an injection, and they laughed almost at the same time.

Puff puff--

Just as the two of them were laughing at their superior commander, a series of rockets with flame tails fell from the sky again, but they were much sparser than the previous round of intensive bombardment.

After the shells landed, clouds of white smoke exploded on the battlefield, and then quickly covered the entire battlefield with the help of the wind.

At this moment, a strong engine sound suddenly came from the distance, and more than a dozen heavy motorcycles suddenly jumped up from the earth slope behind the "coalition forces". After landing, they scattered among the ruins of the battlefield like swimming fish, and drove towards the smoke area in front, as if they were exploring the terrain of the battlefield.

Then another sand-colored tank with a hexagonal turret jumped down the slope and landed heavily on the ground covered with sand and rubble, splashing a large amount of flying sand and dust. It then rushed towards the smoke-covered battlefield at full speed.

Tom-tom-tom——

A series of sparse mortar shells fell from the sky, seemingly trying to intercept the motorcycles, but they were left behind by this high-speed mobile team.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen armed vehicles equipped with machine guns jumped out from behind the earth slope. After landing, they quickly rushed forward in a trapezoidal formation. The members of the "Equestrian Department" who leaned half of their bodies out of the shooting positions on the roofs of the vehicles were holding general-purpose machine guns and staring at the situation ahead with murderous intent.

When the second-echelon mobile force found out the terrain conditions of the current battlefield, the secret weapons on the southern battlefield were also dispatched.

A van carrying more than 6 tons of explosives rushed down the slope and, following the route planned by its companions, headed aggressively towards the gate of the refinery.

After discovering the new movement of the "coalition", the observer from the "Mechanical Development Department" on the opposite wall immediately shouted loudly to his companions nearby.

Although they didn't know what the "coalition" had prepared, it was important enough to be escorted by armed vehicles and tanks, so it was impossible for them to deliver lunch to the front line...

Following an order from the refinery's frontline commander, a group of Gehenna students carrying rocket launchers climbed up the wall and quickly fired rockets with white smoke trails at the strange armored force, apparently intending to intercept them directly outside the smoke zone.

The other party's actions directly made the "coalition" girls who were resting near the wall anxious.

Although the enemy might not be able to hit their target at such a long distance, if their secret weapon is blown up by the enemy, those of them who have not evacuated yet will not be able to escape!

So without waiting for Xiaohong, the front-line commander, to issue a suppression order, the "coalition forces" at the front of the line quickly leaned out from behind various bunkers, frantically poured fire on the enemies on the wall, and desperately intercepted the anti-armor weapons that were about to be fired at their own blasting trucks.

Tom-tom-tom——

As fierce gunfire broke out between the two sides, a round of intensive mortar shells fell from the sky again.

Clouds of dust immediately exploded between the leading convoys, and three or four locomotives were overturned by the impact of the blast and shrapnel. One of the mortar shells hit the turret of the Crusader tank with extreme accuracy, shaking the entire vehicle a few times.

However, the power of the 50mm high-explosive shell was not enough to destroy the armor of the turret. It only left a charred area and a few silver scratches on the sand-colored metal slope.

Even after being hit by the mortar, the entire tank moved faster...

The Crusader tank in the middle of the queue not only gradually surpassed the group of motorcycles that were scouting the terrain and attracting firepower nearby, but the cavalry minister who was half sticking his body out of the commander's hatch also made a face with his tongue out in the direction of the refinery.

Then the Crusader tank turned around abruptly, and amid the exclamation of the Minister of Cavalry who was almost thrown out, it showed the eye-catching words temporarily sprayed on the side of the tank to the opponent.

"Idiot!~ Trash!~"

"The cannons you made can't even penetrate the tanks of Trinity Academy!~"

The view turns back to the refinery wall.

The frontline observer of the "Mechanical Development Department" hiding behind the observation hole jumped up and smashed the telescope in his hand after seeing the other party's ridicule.

However, the front-line commander now had no time to care about such cordial greetings from the enemy.

After noticing that the convoy was getting closer and closer to the refinery, all the fighters near the south gate quickly assembled under the commander's order. The fire suppression on the wall increased rapidly, and the fire suppression of the "coalition" girls outside the wall was pushed back.

Then the two heavy doors of the refinery slowly retracted to the left and right. Before the "coalition" girls who were suppressed behind the bunker could launch an attack in that direction, more than a dozen armored vehicles equipped with machine guns rushed out of the gate at a high speed and fired dense metal bullets at the enemies outside the gate.

Then a large group of armed men wearing heavy bulletproof vests surrounded a low tank and walked out of the gate. They paid no attention to the "coalition" forces that were suppressed by the armored vehicles, but drove slowly towards the outer blocking positions, seemingly intending to take back the lost positions.

Both sides simultaneously unveiled a new round of cards.

Chapter 113: Battle Front Reversal

While the heavy-armored counterattack troops of the "Mechanical Development Department" were advancing, the girls of the "Allied Forces" who were directly suppressed by both the upper and lower sides had to retreat. Xiaohong, with a bad look on her face, stared at the low tank in the distance that was gradually disappearing in the smoke, spat, and called the liaison officer next to her over.

"Notify the command center immediately. The armored forces of the "Mechanical Development Department" have entered the battlefield. Let our armed vehicles and tanks act with caution."

At this time, Xiao Hei next to them also put down the optical sight of the G36 rifle and quickly explained to the two of them.

"That's a Type 50 assault gun, with a frontal armor of about 80 to 39 mm. It's probably the tank equipped with the Pak75 mm tank gun that the observer observed before..."

"Remember to explain that these parameters come from the intelligence of the Pantheon. The cannon above is obviously a later modified model. We cannot determine whether the tank has undergone other modifications."

"By the way, I have to make it clear that we only saw about 14 armored vehicles and 1 tank. We haven't visually confirmed other tanks yet. Let the command center notify friendly forces in other battlefields to be careful."

"Yes!"

The view returns to the command vehicle on the southern battlefield.

After receiving the report from the front line, the gray-haired ball immediately went to the tactical map and quickly gave orders to the liaison officer beside him.

"Notify the mobile forces outside that the enemy's mobile forces and armored forces have entered the battlefield!"

"Students from the Riding Club should have seen their armored vehicles, so there's nothing to worry about."

"But you have to remind them to pay special attention to the StuG III. This tank is specially designed for anti-armor combat. It has a low body and thick frontal armor. It is not only highly concealed, but its reload speed is only about half of that of the Crusader tank. So you must not confront them head-on."

"Of course, the disadvantage of the assault gun vehicle is that it has a fixed gun, and the lateral aiming speed is very slow. It is basically impossible to hit a Crusader tank at high speed."

"And the Crusader tank's 6-pound gun should be able to penetrate the enemy's frontal armor, so as long as they don't stop there and play artillery games with that tank, they'll be fine."

"Yes!"

"By the way, notify Iroha that she can operate Marder III for anti-armor support. However, her self-propelled anti-tank gun moves very slowly, so be careful not to be discovered by the enemy."

"Also, notify the friendly forces on both sides of the northeast as soon as possible. There is at least one tank equipped with an 1mm tank gun in the refinery. Remind them to be careful."

"Yes!"

……

at the same time.

The interior of the Crusader tank.

After receiving Qianjiang's message, the cavalry captain who had already rushed into the center of the battlefield immediately unfolded the tactical map on his tablet computer. He first quickly determined the distance between the enemy and us, and then gave a bright smile to the crew members around him.

"Our opponents have also appeared. They are now moving towards the central area of ​​the blocking position. They probably want to come over and challenge us. Let the Crusader tanks go around from the side and give them a surprise!"

"By the way, drivers, please keep the speed under 50 kilometers. Although we can reach speeds of over 60 kilometers after removing the differential lock, it is easy to explode even if you replace the special engine."

"The gunner releases the drone and maintains the highest possible flight range to ensure we can observe the entire battlefield."

"Don't worry about the safety of the drone. Our snipers have been conducting high-intensity air combat. Those guys from the "Mechanical Development Department" haven't flown a drone for a long time."

"Yes!"

With a burst of fine propeller sounds, a small gray-blue twin-rotor drone jumped out of the ejection box behind the tank and quickly merged into the smoke-filled battlefield airspace.

While the Crusader tanks were beginning to maneuver, the motorcycles and armored vehicles at the rear drove into the smoke area in the center of the battlefield one after another.

Tom-tom-tom——

Another round of dense mortar shells was thrown at the convoy array further behind. The two sidecar motorcycles that were clearing the way in front of the trucks quickly dispersed and dodged, but the heavy truck with several layers of sandbags on the top of the car body did not change direction to dodge at all, and took on four or five mortar shells.

Boom boom boom——

The shell landed on the sandbag buffer layer and exploded, raising a large amount of dark brown mud and sand, but the carriage below was not damaged at all.

However, the girl from the "Riding Department" who was driving in the cab at the moment was so nervous that she was sweating all over. She didn't relax until she saw from the rearview mirror that the car had safely withstood this round of impact. She turned around and complained to the girl from the "War Research Department" who was sitting calmly in the passenger seat.

"Hey... We are carrying enough explosives to flatten this battlefield..."

"You don't look worried at all..."

The girl from the "War Research Department" who was playing with the detonator nearby looked at her companion with a confused look on her face.

"It's just 6 tons of explosives. There's no way to blow up the enemy's permanent fortifications, right?"

"If you want to completely destroy the enemy's position, you still need the six-chamber rocket launcher of your "Cavalry Department". I heard that you also purchased several hundred tons of artillery shells. We are only responsible for blowing up the gate! ~"

"Oh, let me tell you!~"

"Our current position is actually the most comfortable spot on the entire battlefield. If we were injured by 6 kilograms of explosives at close range, we would have to endure the pain and go find a doctor."

"But if we get hit by 6 tons of explosives at close range, when we wake up we can directly eat the special physical supplement meal provided by the "Emergency Medicine Department"! ~"

After feeling the comfort from his companions, the "Riding Club" driver, who wanted to cry but had no tears, forced a miserable smile.

"Ah...I think so..."

"I'm sorry... I was just too nervous..."

For some reason, she suddenly felt that her temporary partner seemed more dangerous than the more than 6 tons of explosives behind her...

At this moment, the girl from the "War Research Department" in the co-pilot seat seemed to have noticed her companion's nervousness, so she put the detonator into her pocket and continued to comfort her.

"Don't worry, this level of bombardment is nothing to us. The sand and soil buffer layer on the roof can withstand at least 3 to 4 rounds of attack. In addition, the interior of the car has been specially reinforced with sand and foam buffer structures. Even if it is blown through, it will be difficult to detonate the explosives inside."

"As long as we are not unlucky enough to have the cab destroyed directly by the enemy's mortar or anti-tank gun, we can definitely deliver the explosives to their gate safely!~"

boom--

As he was speaking, a hot shell came out of the smoke area and blew up the sandbag on the top of the truck's cab. After continuously blowing up a large area of ​​the sand buffer layer, it got stuck in the metal plate on the outer wall of the car with a thud.

The girl from the "War Research Department" sitting in the passenger seat ignored the mud and sand and quickly leaned out of the car window to check the damage to the roof.

About ten seconds later, the girl retracted her body and waved with a smile at the trembling driver.

"Don't be nervous, there's no serious damage. The shell just blew up the sandbags above our heads, and the damage to the cushioning layer on the carriage was not serious."

"Does that mean... that our cab can be destroyed by mortar shells..."

"Ah... you're right..."

"It's just a 50mm mortar. When I fought with the discipline committee members before, I could only get hit three times at most!~"

"Don't worry. Although you look a little weak, according to my experience, your physical fitness can at least withstand one artillery attack! ~"

"By the way, the thing that blew up the sandbags just now wasn't a mortar, it was probably a 75mm anti-tank gun."

"Well, having said that, I still suggest you change direction. I remember Commander Chiba taught me a lesson about the opposite artillery a few days ago. Its fastest reload speed should be only 15 seconds, so it's easy for us to..."

boom--

Aaaa——

While the driver was concentrating on listening to the intelligence his companion was explaining, the bulletproof glass of the truck's cab was suddenly pierced by a shell, and then the girl from the "War Research Department" in the passenger seat let out a shrill scream.

When the girl from the "Riding Club" driving the truck came to her senses, her companion sitting in the passenger seat had disappeared...

The fierce wind, wrapped in the smoke and sound of gunfire outside the car, blew in through the broken windows and disappeared doors, and blew the burning fragments of the passenger seat to the driver's feet.

The driver looked away with a blank expression, turned the steering wheel silently and stepped on the accelerator, and the burning mat fragments at her feet slowly extinguished with a hissing sound...

Well... the guy who fell down was right...

It's just 6 tons of explosives... There's nothing to be afraid of...

No... the one you should be afraid of is your opponent...

That's right...everyone has to die...

Die to me all!!!

Amidst a burst of mournful cries and laughter, the high-speed truck quickly rushed into the smoke area and completely disappeared from the other party's sight.

However, the Crusader tanks that had already penetrated deep into the position also discovered the strange situation on the front battlefield. The counterattack troops of the "Mechanical Development Department" actually ignored the "coalition forces" evacuating from the vicinity of the wall, but instead directly surrounded the Type Ⅲ assault gun and moved towards the middle of the position.
