Chapter 36 Military orders are like a mountain

After annihilated the heavy cavalry of the empire, Epla's heavy armored group stopped when it continued to advance about 80 meters. It turned out that the opponent they were going to face next was the dragon cavalry unit of the Imperial** regiment.

As mentioned earlier, the dragoon can be divided into grenade cavalry and light cavalry. Grenade cavalry has armor second only to heavy cavalry and can throw large-scale special grenades to combat. The grenade used by the Emperor** is more precisely equivalent to the mines on the earth. It is relatively large in size, but its power is not much greater.

The speed of the dragoons was much faster than that of the heavy cavalry, and their armor did not reach the level of the main battle tank, which was only equivalent to ordinary armored vehicles. Therefore, the tank gunners of Epla operated automatic loaders and replaced the shells with high-explosive killing bullets. After a round of volleys, the dragoons were blown up and overturned, with heavy casualties. However, many dragoons continued to rush forward with the firepower of the tanks. Finally, they successfully rushed to a distance of 100 meters.

At this time, because the distance was too close, using tank guns was not a good choice. So the commanders controlled the remote-controlled weapon stations installed on the turret and used the vehicle-mounted 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun to deal with them. At the same time, the infantry fighting vehicles following closely behind the tank also followed.

Compared with the 12.7mm heavy machine guns carried by tanks, the 30mm automatic cannons carried on infantry fighting vehicles are undoubtedly more suitable for the armor of these dragoons - heavy grenade cavalry, which is roughly equivalent to the level of infantry fighting vehicles. The general 12.7mm machine gun has limited killing effect and cannot guarantee 100% direct breakdown. Therefore, it is the turn of 30mm automatic rapid-fire gun to be equipped with the zbd-04 infantry fighting vehicle used to fight enemy infantry fighting vehicles.

The tank that stopped advancing was heading in front and was used as an iron fortress. The 30mm cannon and machine gun began to suppress the attacking Emperor*. The fire sickles that were rushing up and down whipped the Emperor* hard like a whip, causing a burst of flying sand and stones. The bullets and shells beat the Emperor* who was charging wildly like a life-losing one after another into flying bloody rain and flesh.

One orchid light after another flashed over the infantry fighting chariots. One light ball after another flew towards the Imperial Dragoons who were charging, and they broke their bodies and fell off their horses. Although some Dragoons successfully threw out the grenades in their hands, although this grenade was stronger than the grenades on Earth, it was still not enough to deal with the main battle tanks blocking the front.

However, although the lethality of conventional grenades is not enough compared to tank armor, in addition, grenadiers are also equipped with a small number of magic grenades - these magic grenades have more or less special effects, which also brings some minor trouble to the Epla armored forces.

For example, a thunder-attribute grenade can emit high voltage electricity, causing damage to advanced vehicle-mounted electronic equipment of Type 99 tanks. Although tanks generally have mechanical backup structures, damage to electronic equipment will inevitably seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the vehicle - and electronic equipment accounts for a considerable proportion of the tank's cost, and it costs a lot if it needs to be repaired or replaced. This makes the Epla logistics department very annoyed. For example, if an ice-attribute grenade explodes under the vehicle, the generated ice will freeze the tracks of the tank and infantry fighting vehicles, making it unable to move forward for a while.

At this time, I saw a flame that was not very high in temperature emitted from above the Epla's infantry chariot, melting the ice and snow generated by magic, allowing the tank to continue moving forward.

Some grenades were thrown more accurately and landed in front of the infantry fighting vehicle that was gathering fire. After the sound of the explosion, the armor was relatively weak, and the infantry fighting vehicle that was probably destroyed was unharmed - but there were some blue fluctuations on the periphery of the vehicle. This was the result of the array-type magic shield system of infantry fighting vehicles that had been installed in large numbers, combined with Epla's new infantry organization and tactics.

It turns out that in Epla, every mechanized infantry squad, there is a warlock - while this warlock is equipped with an assault rifle, it also has a specially developed "magic pistol". Simply put, this "magic pistol" is actually a combination of a staff and an ordinary pistol, which can be used for shooting and casting. The built-in staff of the pistol has specially optimized some spells often used by warlocks, which can make the casting speed faster.

In addition to the array-type magic shield, the infantry fighting vehicle is also equipped with an amplification magic crystal. This magic crystal can be used by the sorcerer casting in the car, which saves the sorcerer's magic power and magic effect amplification. The magic crystal itself is connected to the generator of the infantry fighting vehicle, and can be recharged through the electric energy conversion technology discovered by the Jin Kezhe trio to ensure reuse and reduce costs.

Just now, the warlocks on the infantry chariot used the most basic arcane magic - arcane missiles and arcane shields. Although the magician casts very weak spells, after the magic crystal is strengthened, these spells become quite powerful.

Epla has conducted an extreme test. If a warlock outputs mana with all his strength and casts an arcane shield, then under the amplification of the magic crystal, the defense ability of the infantry combat vehicle can even reach the level of a Type 96 tank. Of course, due to the mana of the warlock, this level of defense ability is unsustainable. Even so, after obtaining the strengthened arcane shield, the Celestial Infantry Combat Vehicle, which had relatively weak protection ability, finally had the strong protection ability of the Western infantry combat vehicle - and it was obtained without increasing weight or sacrificing firepower. Now, the Emperor has become a sacrifice to the Epla armored soldiers, the sharp knife.

Under continuous firepower suppression, the Dragoon Regiment of the Seventh Legion of the Empire was destroyed in the blink of an eye and the entire army was wiped out. At this time, they did not even cause effective damage to the Epla. At present, only five Type 99 tanks were damaged, but they could still continue to fight. The real serious damage and loss of combat effectiveness were just a few low-end Type 96 tanks and Type 72 tanks. Not only were the personnel not killed or seriously injured, but even the vehicles could be easily repaired by dragging them back. This is the gap between the modern army and the feudal army.

The magic and fighting spirit of this world and the advanced technology on the earth are not an incompatible opposition relationship between water and fire, nor are they a replacement relationship between who eliminates and who, but a cooperative relationship that integrates and promotes each other. Now this armored legion of Epla can not only be called an invincible existence in front of the Emperor, but also has considerable advantages over the mechanized army on the earth.

Due to the widespread promotion of fighting spirit, the same tank has greater lethality in the hands of Epla. Through lightweight magic equipment that does not occupy the space in the car, the protective ability of infantry fighting vehicles has also been greatly enhanced, and it is no longer extremely fragile to the tank as before. At the same time, the original carrying capacity and maneuverability have not suffered any losses.

In fact, Jiang Yucheng's estimate is actually a bit conservative - although there is still a little gap between the soldiers' combat qualities of soldiers and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, the advantages in equipment can completely make up for such disadvantages. In other words, the current Epla's newly-edition 38th Army is already comparable to the 38th Army of the Celestial Empire, which is of the same scale (the army is still not satisfied with the group).

During the bombing just now, because the number of infantry units of the Imperial** regiment was extremely large and the threat level was very low, Epla's artillery and air force did not pay special attention to these battle infantry at the beginning. Although several battle infantry phalanxes were hit by 155mm grenades and were directly blown into ashes, compared with the entire Imperial** infantry unit, these phalanxes can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

Since these infantry, which have no combat power even 5, have relatively "harmless", these traditional cannon fodders have become the most surviving imperial troops on the battlefield. The "elite troops" that originally had a high survival rate and often gained a lot of military achievements were almost wiped out because they directly endured the overwhelming superior firepower of Epla. It has to be said that this is really ironic.

However, after all, Jiang Yucheng's goal is to completely wipe out the Imperial** regiment, cavalry, artillery and magical forces, and it will be these infantry's turn next.

Although the fierce battle ahead made these Yoman-born soldiers scared and almost completely lost their will to fight, even so, they still instinctively chose to form a tight array.

The reason is very simple - after seeing Epla's powerful maneuverability, most of these middle-class Yomans have formed such an understanding: if they scatter and flee, their only fate is to be caught up by Epla's tanks and planes and eliminate them - no matter how fast they run on both legs, can they still be faster than those monsters? And if they form a square array, at least they can still be protected by array shields, and they are not completely unable to resist the monsters.

So, the officers led the team found that these unlucky people who were usually lazy and often passively and did not obey commands today, unexpectedly cooperated today. Any order issued by the officers (also played military music by the military band) would be responded to the first time, and their obedience to the orders even reached the level of colonial corps. Faced with death, these young citizens who were summoned by the lords and fought for the honor of the empire (actually for military pay) instinctively gave up laziness and slackness. For the first time in their service, they obeyed so much, and even loved the military orders issued by their officers.
