Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 229 Rapid Support

The distance from Tianjin to the imperial capital is only a hundred kilometers, and the convoy led by Chen Jian arrived there in just three hours.

At this time, the imperial capital was in chaos.

A large number of civilians are fleeing out of the city. The Holy Blood civilians are maintaining order, but even if all the forces of the entire Holy Blood Temple have been mobilized, it is still too difficult for them to prevent the collapse of chaos.

The city gates were wide open. The parents driving the ox carts wore all the warm clothes in the house. The ox carts were carrying heavy food and precious tools. The young children followed the carts, chasing and playing ignorantly, as if they had not yet realized that they were about to face a difficult journey.

The merchants had already ordered the steam locomotive of the Mechanicus, and fully armed mercenaries stood beside the car with guns, using the butts of their guns to drive away civilians who tried to hitchhike.

The Holy Blood scouts dispersed in waves, and then returned covered in blood and their companions' bloody clothes.

The fighting spirit began to collapse, and the already loose Holy Blood Temple exposed its fatal weaknesses in this crisis. Even the powerful Source Blood people began to abandon the civilians and flee.

The dense crowd headed south, and the convoy led by Chen Jian became the only one going in the opposite direction.

Sitting in the Warrior vehicle, Chen Jian looked intently at the aerial images sent back by the drone, and then gave the order:

"The 152mm howitzers don't need to enter the city. They can be deployed on the open ground outside the city, which is the location of the former Imperial Capital Airport."

"All drones take off and monitor the monster's location in real time."

"30A bikes will be sent forward to defend Ming Tombs and Changping."

"The unmanned combat robots are deployed near Tianchi Lake in Mangshan Mountain, relying on lateral firepower to intercept the monster group."

"The first squad of the Chinese Army will stay in the city as the last line of defense to intercept any monsters that advance into the vicinity of the city."

"Ji Xing, Li Shi, Xie Liu, Xu He, follow me."

"We are responsible for decapitation operations. Our mission is to completely eliminate all monsters whose movements are restricted in the shortest possible time."

"The monster group is still 28 kilometers away from the imperial city. It is expected to enter the bombardment range in one hour."

"The combat mission has been determined. Everyone, execute it immediately!"

"understand!"

"Roger that!"

At the command, everyone took action immediately.

Without much hesitation, after deploying the cellular network base stations, Chen Jian immediately handed over the front-line command to Zhan Luan, then jumped off the Mengshi vehicle without hesitation, led Ji Xing and others to climb up 30A, and followed Lei Jie all the way to the assault.

Xie Yuan, who was leading the way, hesitated for a moment, as if considering whether to report to his Holy Father first, or follow Chen Jian's steps and board the tank.

"I'll go with you!"

Xie Yuan said firmly:
"There are only five of you. That's definitely not enough manpower!"

"Although we may not be able to stop those monsters head-on, if we are only responsible for the final kill, that will definitely be enough!"

"can!"

Chen Jian nodded decisively, and soon after, more and more Holy Blood Warriors caught up with the rapidly advancing chariot.

Heavy smoke and dust rose up, and figures of people were moving quickly and swiftly in the woods.

When the roar of this giant beast sounded across the plain, the shattered morale of the army seemed to be gathered together again.

Chen Jian did not interfere with the Holy Blood's command.

He knew very well that without any knowledge of this group of people's fighting style, the negative effects of blindly giving orders were sometimes no different from "moving the machine gun position forward 5 meters."

He only cares about his team.

Half an hour later, after traveling nearly 10 kilometers, train group 30A arrived near the Ming Tombs.

The unmanned combat cluster immediately dispersed and, under the command of Zhan Luan, went to build a defense line near Tianchi.

At the same time, Chen Jian led the team to bypass the west and occupied the commanding heights in Dingling.

At this time, the group of monsters had approached the upper entrance, less than four kilometers away from the Ming Tombs Pass.

This was the first time that Chen Jian had seen such a dense cluster of monsters, and the shock it brought was far greater than any previous experience.

Several huge monsters crowded through a pass less than 500 meters wide. The heavy footsteps and collision sounds echoed in the canyon like drums.

Those strange-looking monsters stretched out their fangs, claws, tentacles and limbs, and wherever they passed, they left behind sticky and smelly liquid and a mess of vegetation.

The poisonous fog gradually spread, covering the entire canyon like a cloud covering the sky and the sun.

In the grayish white and purple-red mixed mist, the branches and leaves of the plants were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The shocking scene made the Holy Blood people gathered around Chen Jian feel fear, but under Xie Yuan's command, these people still suppressed their fear and dispersed in small groups, heading to various locations and ready for battle.

"There are three targets in total."

"The first group has entered the canyon pass and is expected to reach the bombardment position in 20 seconds."

"152 howitzer ready, set the firing parameters."

"30A, move forward and stop them!"

"understand!"

The order was given, and 30A sped away.

At the same time, Chen Jian followed closely behind and led several Holy Bloods to start the sprint.

Their target is not the monster in front of them.

To be precise, it is the half-dead corpses of these monsters in front of us.

Ten seconds later, the first explosion was heard.

"boom!"

The explosive bomb fell in the middle of the canyon, and under the impact of the overpressure, a small cloud of fog was instantly cleared away.

Then the drone opened fire.

The 8.6mm caliber bullets fell like a rainstorm, stirring up countless dust and smoke like raindrops on the ground.

The speed of the monsters' advance was slowed down instantly. The monster in the front, which was very similar to the mother monster in Chuansha City, had its forelimbs accurately cut off by a round of large-caliber bullets and collapsed in the canyon with a loud bang.

"Tank gun! Fire!"

That's it now.

The monster's fallen body blocked the monster following closely behind. The 30A tank adjusted its gun position with an extremely smooth drifting action, lowering the muzzle and pointing it directly at the monster less than 500 meters away.

The tungsten core armor-piercing bullet has been loaded, the next second.

"boom!"

The shell penetrated the monster's body with unparalleled high temperature and kinetic energy enough to destroy everything. The flesh and blood were pushed away by the shock wave like tofu, and the bones were shattered under the high pressure.

This armor-piercing bullet with a penetration depth of 1200mm penetrated the monster's body without any hindrance. The greatest resistance it encountered was even the unstable lateral force exerted on it by its flesh and blood.

After passing through the back of the first monster, the bullet flew across and hit the head of the second monster.

Maybe it's luck, or maybe it's a kind of inevitability.

But in the end, the head that looked like a leopard's head, with upright triangular eyes and fangs over two meters long, shattered under the huge impact force and exploded into a magnificent firework of flesh and blood.

The bodies fell to the ground with a loud bang, and there was no need to shoot again.

But Chen Jian still moved forward and sent the opponent on his way with a rocket launcher.

"continue!"

As Chen Jian gave the order, the second 152mm howitzer exploded almost simultaneously.

"boom!"

The explosive bomb fell directly on the back of the third monster, which had no time to dodge or retreat. As if it was punished by heaven, the monster with slender limbs immediately fell to the ground.

The bones shattered instantly, and its limbs slid outward at an exaggerated angle like a flattened chair, while the scarlet blood soaked the ground beneath it like a torrent. "Boom!"

An explosion sounded, and the monster's fragile body was blown to pieces from the inside out.

A bloody rain of flesh and blood fell down. Chen Jian dodged under a tall tree and continued to give orders:

"30A tanks continue to advance forward, kill the current target and then detour to the direction of Shaling to intercept the enemy's second squad."

"152 adjust the firing direction, set the parameters, and launch a suppressive bombardment towards the west side of Lianhua Beach!"

"Everyone else, follow me! Use the artillery cover to quickly maneuver towards Juyong Pass!"

"There are only two monsters over there, stop them!"

"understand!"

A neat response rang in Chen Jian's ears. He looked back and saw that after receiving the order, several Holy Bloods had already taken quick action.

Obviously, their confidence has returned.

After witnessing the amazing combat power of their own team, and seeing four monsters of at least level four fall under the gunfire in just one encounter, they realized that this was not a battle without an absolute chance of winning.

What to prepare?
what's the message?
Firepower is everything!
Everyone quickly moved towards Juyongguan, and at the same time, the sound of 152 howitzer fire had already been heard in the direction of Lianhuatan.

The running Holy Blood warriors looked in horror at the smoke rising in the distance.

They don't understand how efficient this is.

The order to fire was given less than a minute ago, and now the shells have already fallen?

Compared with the team in front of them, the "artillery formation" that the Mechanicus was proud of was as slow to react as an old man.

No wonder they had no power to fight back when facing this Chinese army.
-
But now, they have no time to sigh.

The distance of less than 5 kilometers was crossed in the blink of an eye, and when they climbed over the last hill, two monsters suddenly appeared in front of them like a mountain pressing down on their heads.

"Spread out! Spread out!"

Xie Yuan's pupils constricted. As he shouted out orders, several grenades and incendiary bombs were thrown.

Flames rose up instantly, but at the same time, a light green transparent liquid spewed out of the monster's mouth.

"Acid!"

Xie Yuan shouted at the top of his lungs.

The next second, the acid fell.

A faint green smoke rose up, and the Holy Blood Those who were unable to dodge were soaked all over their heads and faces.

He didn't even realize what was happening.

But when he began to feel a burning pain on his skin, he realized that his fate was sealed.

The long sword is unsheathed.

Chen Jian once again witnessed the battle between the Holy Blood and the giant monster, but this time was different from the time with Chuansha. The Holy Blood who rushed forward was already convinced that he would die.

A thin steel cable was thrown out from his hand, and then the Holy Blood Man stood up, clambered onto the monster and rose and fell quickly.

The advantage of flexibility was brought to the extreme. In just a dozen seconds, he had climbed to the top of the monster.

Then, there was a rapid fall.

"boom!"

After a loud bang, the Holy Blood Man stood up again and rushed towards the monster's belly.

Behind him, more Holy Bloods also swung out steel wires, as if they wanted to completely entangle the monster.

Their tactics worked.

But, it has a minimal effect.

Chen Jian could understand their intentions. When facing monsters with weak defenses, these Holy Bloods could use their own mobility to completely trap a monster to death with just a few simple steel wires.

Unfortunately, this is not a simple monster.

Just by shaking his body slightly, several steel wires were broken.

The steel wire whipped across and hit the Holy Blood Man who was doused in acid and had no time to dodge, cutting him in half in the blink of an eye.

The other Holy Bloods also had to retreat temporarily.

Without any preparation, the Holy Blood's fighting power was truly touchingly weak.

"Li Shi! Heavy machine gun!"

"Roger that!"

"Bang bang bang bang -"

The 301 heavy machine gun fired, and large-caliber bullets tore through the air.

The huge projectile flew head-on towards the head of the already violent monster, and at the moment its movements were slowed down, the weapon rack behind Chen Jian had already deployed.

Recoilless gun, one shot to the soul.

"boom!"

A bloody hole exploded in the monster's abdomen, but the first thing that flowed out was not blood, but the acid stored in the poison sac in its abdomen.

Chen Jian retreated quickly to avoid the acid splashing range, and at the same time, he had already aimed at the second monster that had broken through the Holy Blood's defense line.

Aim and fire.

The rocket went straight towards the monster, but just missed it.

The smaller monster leaped high into the air, spread the wing membranes under its armpits and glided forward, dodging the rocket that was sure to hit it with its super high maneuverability.

"Drone!"

"understand!"

Fuxi's voice sounded in my ears.

The next second, two Pufferfish opened fire.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

The lethality caused by the 8.6mm bullet is certainly not as great as that of the 301 heavy machine gun in Li Shi's hand, but how could the fragile wing membrane of that monster withstand such a dense rain of bullets?

The monster was knocked down instantly and fell heavily to the ground.

The Holy Bloods rushed forward and threw a large number of incendiary bombs at the monster.

Chen Jian looked back and after confirming that the monster had no power to resist, he immediately turned around and retreated.

The monsters from the direction of Shaling have been successfully blocked by Lei Jie's 30A, but the problem is that there is another group of monsters that are rapidly advancing towards the Imperial Capital City from the direction of Lianhuatan.

They are incredibly fast.

Just one 152mm howitzer was not enough to stop their attack.

This group of three monsters had already rushed into the firepower range of the unmanned combat cluster near the Ming Tombs. Chen Jian originally thought that his deployment could slightly slow down their advance, but he did not expect that they could use the terrain cover to bypass the dense firepower area.

It is less than 1 km away from the Imperial City.

In two minutes at most, they will enter the imperial capital.

Chen Jian saw that Holy Blooded Ones kept jumping down from the city wall, as if they were trying to use their bodies to block the monsters that were charging forward.

"Xie Yuan! Let everyone retreat!"

Chen Jian shouted and ordered:
"107 fire, nine salvos! Kill them!"
