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

Chapter 78: Big Explosion
The cannons roared, and hollow bullets filled with gunpowder kept falling.

Explosions rang out one after another, and the island where Yellowstone City was located was filled with smoke.

Chen Jian lay in the bunker and stared at the aerial images from the drone, wanting to do something but being powerless.

There is no way, the long-range firepower delivery capability is too poor!

The longest-range weapons they have are a few mortars, but their maximum range is only 3.5 kilometers.

Moreover, they only had 24 shells left, which must not be wasted but must be used in the most critical places.

In contrast, their enemies' logistical supply capabilities are extremely strong.

Relying on the Yangtze River waterway and steam-powered ships, they could easily communicate with several nearby large towns, and even transport artillery and ammunition from Nanjing over a long distance.

What they had to do was very simple, which was to use artillery fire to continue to suppress the people in Yellowstone City, and then slowly advance and block the periphery.

The longer the time goes, the stronger their support will be.

When the time is right, they will be able to attack Yellowstone City in one go, with the cover of a large number of artillery and hot weapons, and use the Holy Blood's advantage in close combat to exchange lives with the defenders in Yellowstone City!
The most important thing is that they won’t lose if they fight like this!

Because, for them, the level 3 monster in the Han River ruins was originally very difficult to deal with, but it was much easier for Chen Jian and his team to deal with.

As long as they take down Huangshi City, they can enter the Han River ruins without any scruples to plunder and get rewards.

Not only is the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, they are also racing against each other
This is absolutely an invincible tactic. From any perspective, the opponent can definitely be called a master if he can use medieval weapons to achieve such coordination and make such a decision in a short period of time.

Be steady, be smart, and play to your strengths while avoiding your weaknesses.

They knew that it would be difficult to defeat the so-called "mimic heretics" with information advantages and strong firepower advantages within visual range, so they simply bombarded them with large-caliber smoothbore cannons at a distance of 4 kilometers without even showing their faces!

Chen Jian couldn't remember the last time he fought a battle like this.

I was used to crushing the enemy with my equipment, but when I was really suppressed by the enemy, I realized how frustrating it was.

You can't fight back!
This was even more frustrating than being blinded by an electromagnetic pulse bomb fired by Man Guangzhi as he landed, because at that time he at least still had available troops, but what about now?

If we rash out with these rookies who are going to the battlefield for the first time, it would be tantamount to delivering food to the Mechanicus!

difficult!
Facing the occasional artillery fire, Chen Jian shuttled back and forth to stabilize the emotions of the combatants in Huangshi City.

But it was visibly visible to the naked eye that their will had been slightly shaken by the shocking bombardment.

Cannons and guns are different. The fear that is implanted in the bone marrow will make everyone instinctively want to escape.

"Hold on!"

"Don't worry, they can't hit you!"

"Hide in the bunker! Don't run around!"

Chen Jian kept shouting to boost morale, while He Shuo, who was operating a drone at a commanding height to observe and try to find a fighter plane, reported on the radio:
"I can't find any flaws!"

“Their style of play is very solid!”

"We must take the initiative to move forward and look for opportunities. Let me lead the team to give it a try!"

"Give me 10 city defense members, at least take out their artillery first!"

"Pointless!"

Chen Jian decisively refused:
"A muzzle-loading smoothbore cannon with a range of more than 4 kilometers is at least equivalent to the Great General Cannon of the Qing Dynasty."

"Unless you hit it head-on with a recoilless rifle, there's no way to destroy it directly."

"The enemy is not stupid. There are also Holy Bloods scouting in close range. You have no chance to shoot at all."

"What should we do? Let them surround us and kill us?"

He Shuo's tone was anxious. Chen Jian brushed off the dust on his helmet. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Let's go big."

"Let Li Shi move the lead box out!"

"You want to blow it up?!"

He Shuo was stunned and asked anxiously:

"Are you sure? If the killing radius of this tactical nuclear bomb is too large, we will also suffer!"

"Also, delivery is a problem. We don't have any means of long-range delivery. Are we going to rush up and detonate it ourselves?"

"Need not."

Chen Jian shook his head and said:
"Bypass the encirclement and transport the warhead to the ruins of Huangzhou, and then float down the river from there."

"Remove the two IFF long-wave triangulation positioning modules used to indicate the position, and then trigger the detonation via radio."

"Conventional tactics are no longer effective here. No matter how we fight, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses." "Then what's the point of occupying this Yellowstone City? It would be better if we didn't come here in the first place."

"You have to believe that this thing we picked up must be useful. It is used here!"

"I just don't believe that they would dare to continue rushing forward after the nuclear bomb exploded!"

".Understood. Li Shi! Go and move the lead box!"

At the command, Li Shi immediately rushed out of the bunker.

At this moment, the artillery fire of the Mechanicus paused briefly, and after the last shell fell, several extremely swift figures quickly jumped out of the bushes on the other side of the lake, as if they wanted to take advantage of the loose gaps in Yellowstone City's defenses to cross the water and rush into the city.

But when it comes to infantry and artillery coordination, they are still too inexperienced.

He Shuo, who never let his guard down, finally found an opportunity to open fire. The 201 machine gun opened fire at full power, bullets flew everywhere, pointing the way for everyone else.

Then, the 301 heavy machine gun and the 22 high machine gun in Shen Yue's hand opened fire at the same time. Countless slender tree trunks were directly broken under the sweep of large-caliber bullets, and at the same time, the body of a Holy Blood Man who had no time to dodge was also broken.

The enemy's close-range offensive was temporarily broken up, the gunfire stopped, and Li Shi dragged his injured leg and limped to move the lead box in front of Chen Jian.

Without any hesitation, Chen Jian reached out and pried open the lead box.

The environmental monitoring system immediately sounded an alarm, and the radiation value instantly reached the red range.

But fortunately, the CPM was only around 300.

This means that the preservation condition of this nuclear warhead is actually quite good.

This can actually be seen from the still quite smooth warhead casing.

And the moment he saw the inscription inside, Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

"2000 to 2 kiloton adjustable nuclear warhead, the same design as the B2112, but with a more powerful atomic trigger."

"Fortunately it wasn't a real tactical nuclear bomb. If it was a neutron bomb, it would have been a waste."

"The tritium hasn't been replaced for hundreds of years, so it's impossible for it to fire."

"What do you say now? Just detonate the atomic trigger, or use the maximum yield?"

Hearing Chen Jian's words, Lei Jie, who rushed to the side, immediately said:

"All bombs must be detonated."

"Within hundreds of years, if it weren't for cryogenic storage, the fuel abundance should have dropped to very low levels."

"Under normal circumstances, the comprehensive killing radius of a 2-ton atomic warhead should be about 2 kilometers, but if the abundance decreases, we'd be lucky if the radius could be one kilometer."

"Just blow it up, don't think too much!"

“Declining fuel abundance?”

Chen Jian frowned and asked:

“Will it become a high-yield dirty bomb?”

"Not too possible."

Reggie replied:
"Although the fuel abundance has decreased, as long as the atomic trigger is strong enough, it can still be blown to pieces."

"Besides, we don't have a choice."

“Now the situation is clear.”

"They can't kill the monsters, but they can kill us."

"If we don't deliver this blow, and Yellowstone City doesn't stand firm, even if we kill all the monsters in the future, we will only become their tools!"

"Captain, you are right, blow it up!"

"Then explode!"

Chen Jian nodded vigorously, and then ordered:

"Rest for one hour, everyone cease fire, and get them closer!"

“We counterattacked on time after an hour and created a chance for Reggie to break through.”

"Lei Jie, take Zeng Yi and Xie Liu to break out to the Huangzhou ruins and deploy the warheads."

"You plan the specific detonation method, but you must ensure that the warhead explodes after it emerges from the water."

"We have to show them what a real big explosion is!"
