Chapter 68 Meat Grinder
The shelling lasted for a full eight hours.
From six in the morning to two in the afternoon, one of the four walls of Andur City had completely collapsed.
"Yesterday's rune shield has not appeared yet."
"It's right that it didn't appear."
Looking at the ruins of the city walls in the distance, Aquina's expression not only did not relax, but became even more tense: "The rune shield is mainly rune masters after all. This kind of defensive shield that requires human power is simply unable to compete with the shells that can be produced without restrictions."
Aquinas's adjutant nodded when he heard this: "General is right."
"The real value of this rune shield lies in the ability to delay time at critical moments and isolate siege troops, thereby creating the ability to fight more and less opportunities."
Give a simple example.
When the army attacked Andur City and just entered half of the people, the rune shield suddenly activated. What would happen?
There is no doubt that the remaining half will be blocked outside the city, while the half that remains inside will be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy's concentrated superior forces.
This is the function of the rune shield.
Simply using it to resist artillery fire and bombing is a tricky move.
"Let the 42nd Division launch an attack."
"Don't rush into the city."
"Let them take steady steps and take steady steps. We have at least half a month left. As long as we advance steadily, the enemy will be crushed by us."
"yes!"
As the order was conveyed from the large base car, soon, in the Akandia's position, a group of soldiers wearing steam armor came out. The commander in charge directly raised the rotary machine gun in his hand high above his head, and then let out a roar:
"Siege!"
With a command, shouts suddenly came one after another. Then a long line of scattered soldiers spread out from the Akandia's position. A large number of soldiers rushed towards Andur City in groups of three, ten groups, and ten groups in a company.
Watching the assault of these Akandian soldiers.
Fang Xiu, who was watching the live broadcast from the city lord's mansion, suddenly felt heartbroken.
Is it OK?
It seems like I'm about to run in.
Where are the Lancetines?
"Let's fire..."
Fang Xiu murmured in a low voice, leaning against the view on the screen to see the other party's distance.
"One thousand meters."
"Three hundred meters."
"Two hundred meters."
Just when Fang Xiu could even see the murderous eyes of the Akandian soldiers through the screen, a calm voice finally sounded from the screen:
“Confirm, the best distance.”
"Open fire!"
A whistling sound like a rainstorm suddenly sounded in Andur City.
The ground was turned open without warning, and from under the ground and from the ruins, the Lanstein robots who had already been prepared were rushed out one after another.
Then he pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand.
Lanstein traditional art: saturated firepower coverage.
In the ruins, a total of twenty-three bunkers began to spit out their flames, and a large number of Lanstein soldiers continued to support and shoot. Two fire nets, one in front and one behind, were like fishermen casting nets to catch fish, covering all the Akandian soldiers who rushed to the front.
There is no need to even aim.
You just need to point the muzzle directly in front. Anyway, once the bullet leaves the muzzle, it will definitely hit an enemy, just like harvesting wheatgrass with a sickle.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Don't be afraid, fight back immediately and open fire!"
During the bomb rain, the soldiers of Akandia were not panicked. As the assault troops, their equipment was the best. In addition to being strong, the steam armor on their bodies was even engraved with an additional Fusing Star rune, which further strengthened the defense ability of these armors.
【barrier】
Runes that Fang Xiu used before are now widely used in war. The light of runes shields was lit up, and combined with the strong steam armor, the Akandian soldiers continued to walk towards Andur under the fire of Lanstein.
If this scene was seen by a weak civilization, it would probably collapse on the spot.
But Lanstein won't.
Faced with this problem, Lanstein only had one judgment:
"Confirm that there is insufficient firepower."
"Strengthen the fire!"
Rumble!
The machine gun was still roaring, but the sound of the machine gun was mixed with even more violent artillery fire. The shells were shot out from Andur City and smashed into the stormtrooper crowd. The power of the shells was obviously higher than that of the bullets. This time, casualties finally occurred among the soldiers of Akandia.
The rune shield was shattered by the explosion shock wave.
The steam armor was torn apart by scattered pieces.
The exposed fragile human body has become a sacrifice for dense bomb rain.
The broken limbs and broken arms, the headless corpse, and the cruelty of the battlefield were fully reflected at this moment, but even so, no one of them chose to retreat, and the two sides collided head-on.
And Aquinas, who saw this scene outside the city, made a quick decision:
"Let the 6th Division, the 24th Division, and the 31st Division all pressed on!"
"Don't give them a chance to breathe!"
"yes!"
After a moment, the larger Akandia army rushed out of the position, and the front line that was originally stalemate three hundred meters outside the city finally began to advance.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
A close fight!
In Dawn Star, this is a normal form of war, because the advantages of individual shields and soldier armor, as well as the technical problems of beyond-visual weapons, the power that guns and weapons can exert is far less than imagined, and cold weapons still have considerable uses.
Just like now.
After rushing into Lanstein's position, the Akandian soldiers directly swung the rotor gun in their hands as a sledgehammer. The machine guns fell apart and grabbed an alloy sword or an alloy battle axe from the back, holding a shield in one hand and dancing a sword in the other hand.
Lanstein, on the other hand, held up the iron-beaten body, pulled down the short rope of the chainsaw in his hand, and then greeted him without saying a word. One side was a body of steel, the other side was a body of flesh and blood and steel armor. The battle between the two sides entered the bloodiest state after zero-distance contact.
"Everyone with the iron monsters, go to die!"
"Confirm, start melee fighting."
No compromise.
No communication.
All there is to say is the roar full of murderous intent and actions without mercy.
The groups of Lanstein robots, with more efficient movements and closer cooperation, with a smaller number of people, resisted the impact of Akandia. The artillery fire in the city was also constantly providing support, bombarding reinforcements that had not yet joined the battlefield.
Fanaticism and blood.
Knife, axe and firearms.
Life and death.
Fang Xiu, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, could only open his mouth wide and look silenced, not knowing what words to use to describe this scene.
But soon he understood.
Actually very simple.
Because the Earth before traveling through time had already helped him summarize a simple and direct word for thousands of years of war:
Chapter completed!
