Chapter 602 The Demise of the 38th Armored Division
As a frontline artillery camp, it has a battalion-level mortar company and a brigade-level reinforced artillery company.

The mortar battery has six 120mm heavy mortars, capable of firing at a range of 7 to 9 kilometers.

Nine 81mm medium mortars, with a range of 3 to 6 kilometers.

Of course, these clones don't really care about mortars; the most important thing is the brigade's artillery company, with eight 155mm howitzers.

This is a self-propelled howitzer that looks like a truck, with 6 wheels and a top speed of up to 80 kilometers per hour.

In the artillery position, the company commander was hurriedly issuing orders.

"Provide fire support immediately. The armored battalion claims to have been attacked by the Giant Legion. Although I'm a little skeptical, we still need to provide the necessary support. What's the radar detection like?"

The radar operator's expression quickly changed.

"Company commander, someone is approaching rapidly, very fast."

The next second, as soon as the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was heard, the driver turned his head and saw a giant bending over and looking at him outside the car window.

"Should I come out myself, or should I drag you out?"

"what"

The clone ripped off the car door and threw the person inside dozens of meters away.

Not to mention the artillery company, even the mortar company was destroyed instantly.

When guns and cannons are useless, mortals are simply unable to put up a fight against the giant army.

Three minutes later, the two military camps, which together had more than 1000 people, returned to calm. The camps were littered with corpses, and only a few people managed to escape into the forest. Naoki Hanyu didn't bother to pursue them.

[Ding! Intentional homicide has accumulated to 8 stars of evil.]

"Destroying two battalions in 7 minutes still requires 8 stars? Looks like we still need to work harder."

Naoki Hanyu looked up and saw that the entire military camp had come alive again.

More than 30 Merkava vehicles left the military camp in an orderly manner, heading straight for other military bases along the highway. The nearest target base was 9 kilometers away, and the farthest was more than 40 kilometers away.

On the artillery position, the mortars had already been moved to transport vehicles and left; they were going to engage in close-range artillery fire. Only the artillery company was currently aiming.

The 155mm howitzer at the back of the truck was being raised, and the clone in charge of operating it seemed to be handling it with ease, after all, Naoki Hanyu had played with similar things many times.

"Target: 48th Tank Battalion, 35 kilometers away. We have already aimed and fired 6 test shots."

"fire."

"bang bang bang"

With all eight cannons firing simultaneously, from their vantage point, they could even see small mushroom clouds rising from distant targets that had been attacked.

"Second round of calibration, loading shells."

"Prepare."

"fire."

The tank battalion, which had just received the notification of the enemy attack, was stunned. Eight howitzers bombarded the camp to pieces.

The tank, which had just started up, was hit by a howitzer shell. The shrapnel was thrown more than 20 meters away, piercing soldiers passing by.

The battalion commander was stunned in the command room. He knew that their garrison was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was hard to spot them from the north, let alone hit them. This was beyond the battalion commander's more than ten years of war experience.

Before he could figure it out, his command post was blown to the sky by a howitzer.

The Northern Command of the oil-producing country was also at a loss, and the entire command center was in chaos.

Major General Ori Ben Moshe Dagan, the commander of the Northern Command, was furious.

(The highest military rank in oil-producing countries is lieutenant general, and only the chief of the general staff holds that rank. Major generals are the commanders of the army, navy, and air force, as well as the commanders of various theater commands.)
"Where did this attack come from? Could it have been launched by Lai Chu's gang?"

The staff officer said with surprise and uncertainty.

"Commander, I think you should watch this video before you speak."

"Ok?"

Ori leaned closer in puzzlement, then his expression changed drastically, because the 3-meter giants in the picture were hundreds of times larger, and each one was invulnerable to swords and spears, making them seem inhuman.

"What the hell is this?"

The staff officer offered his answer based on his own insights.

"Commander, there are indeed people in the world who can do this, namely martial arts masters. I know they have an ability called muscle control, which allows them to transform into giants, while simultaneously increasing their strength and defense. But..."

The staff officer became hesitant at this point, which made Ori extremely anxious.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"Yes, but there are very few such strong people in our country. Even in America, let alone dozens, it would be a lot if we could gather 30. Moreover, I have never heard of a martial arts expert who can't even be killed by machine guns. Only fungal corpses can."

Ori was shocked.

"You're saying these are fungal corpses, and that oil-producing countries are about to experience a fungal crisis?"

Don't blame Ori for making a fuss; the fungal crisis is, besides the nuclear crisis, a crisis that all countries on Earth believe could destroy a nation or even human society.

The staff officer shook his head.

"These people in the video seem to have some sense. I wouldn't dare say it's fungus. I've heard that some major countries have even more powerful martial arts experts. Maybe they can do something like being unharmed by machine guns?"

“But that’s dozens or even hundreds of us. They destroyed two of our battalions in less than ten minutes.”

"."

The staff officer lowered his head, not daring to say more. After shouting, Ori calmed down a bit. He remembered the news he had heard the day before yesterday. It seemed that a religious organization called the Apostle Legion was planning to cause trouble. Could it be related to these giants?

"Report this immediately, let the higher-ups know what kind of enemy we have encountered, and that the enemy is attacking our other strongholds. Give me all the means to stop them."

"Yes."

It's easier said than done. Naoki Hanyu's attacks were comparable to the Blitzkrieg of World War II. They were so fast that they didn't even have time to use any of their methods before they were overwhelmed.
.
Back in the capital of the oil-producing country, President Eldad, a warmonger, recalled hearing about the Apostle Legion not long ago, whose arrogance in claiming they could destroy the oil-producing country, coupled with today's events, led him to believe that they had begun their operation.

"Damn it, wipe out these monsters at all costs!"

Eldard was furious. With Naoki Hanyu hiding in the capital, the entire cabinet dared not show their faces, and a large number of troops were being wasted in the capital. Unexpectedly, a crisis broke out in the north.

Just then, the secretary walked in.

“President, the court wants you to appear on Friday.” Eldad roared again.

"Those guys don't even know what time it is. Their petty corruption is nothing compared to the crisis of national survival."

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom"

"Boom boom boom boom boom"

After attacking the armored battalion, the artillery battery engaged the artillery battalion in a firefight, firing as they ran, and getting closer and closer to the artillery battalion.

Anyway, there's no need to cherish the equipment; use it however is convenient. Once it's anchored, it transforms into a giant and charges into the enemy's territory.

In addition to the artillery barrage, more than 30 tanks have split into two groups and are heading towards two targets. One is the third tank battalion, which is paired with an infantry battalion, just like the two battalions that were defeated. The other is the infantry brigade's garrison, a town that is now deserted.

"Stop them."

Scattered artillery fire is unlikely to hit a fast-moving tank; after all, it takes 40 seconds for a howitzer to fire 20 kilometers, making it impossible to aim accurately.

Instead, the tanks' guns were aimed directly at the infantry brigade's position; they didn't need to aim much, they could just fire.

Shells rained down on the position, causing buildings to collapse and people to die.

Of course, the infantry brigade was not without ways to deal with mere tanks. The sound of dense drones rose up as suicide drones arrived.

More than 200 drones swooped down. These "Harop" suicide drones from oil-producing countries were all in top-attack mode, specifically targeting the most vulnerable top armor of tanks.

Justice Doppelganger: "Hey, the drone's coming."

The rational clone: ​​"Understood."

Lazy Clone: ​​"Should we temporarily avoid the limelight?"

The arrogant clone: ​​"I should avoid him? He should be avoiding my sharp edge."

Khorne's clone: ​​"If he can't kill me, I'll kill him."

Doppelgangers wielding heavy machine guns appeared atop 18 tanks, standing on their roofs and firing at the drones.

"bang bang bang bang bang"

The barrage of metal bullets destroyed drone after drone, leaving the infantry brigade command completely bewildered. "This works?"

Of course, a mere 18 heavy machine guns could not completely eliminate all the drones, and more than a dozen drones still swooped down.

The train conductor's clone hurriedly shouted.

"Hey, hurry up and use your body to block the drone."

"Get lost, I'm not playing along anymore. You guys can see if you can survive on your own."

The clone slammed the hatch shut with one kick, then jumped out of the car and drove away at 100 kilometers per hour.

This wasn't the work of a single individual, but rather the collective decision made by all the machine gunners after their separation.

The next second, seven tanks were hit by the drone's top-mounted explosives.

"Boom boom boom boom boom"

A single drone attack wiped out two-fifths of a tank battalion, demonstrating just how high the threat drones pose to tanks.

Although the results were not ideal, there were still achievements in killing the enemy.

Just as the infantry brigade command was about to bring out all the brigade's drones, a horrifying scene unfolded: the hatches of the bombed-out tanks opened, and one by one, the drones crawled out in a disheveled state.

"How is this possible? These monsters aren't dead?"

The entire command center fell silent.

Meanwhile, all the clones on the battlefield were injured, some with only minor superficial wounds, others lying on the ground unable to move. Of course, not all of them escaped; three unfortunate clones died inside the tank.

The mortality rate of drone attacks on tanks is as high as 95%, and those who survive are all on the verge of death.

There are three types of methods used to cause harm.

The first type is the overpressure shock caused by an explosion, which causes a sudden increase in pressure in the sealed compartment, shattering the victim's internal organs.

The second type has a fragment density of up to 1200 pieces.

The third type is high temperature, with the explosion reaching 2000 to 3000 degrees Celsius instantly, which can severely carbonize a person.

Unfortunately, these types of attacks were not fatal to Naoki Hanyu. Overpressure impact? Sorry, with the indestructible furnace body inherited from his clone, this impact was not enough to destroy his internal organs.

The third type of high temperature is the same. With the A-level skill Unburnt Body, it can move freely in a 2000-degree high temperature. Although 3000 degrees is uncomfortable, it will only cause burns.

Only shrapnel damage could cause death or injury, since a dense barrage of shrapnel could potentially inflict fatal wounds, which is why three clones died.

Apart from the two unfortunate ones lying on the ground, all the clones, regardless of their injuries, ran and caught up with the tank, even getting a step ahead of it and reaching the infantry brigade's camp.

"monster."

"Fire quickly."

"Stop them, stop them quickly!"

The infantry position of thousands of soldiers was torn apart by dozens of clones that transformed into giants, disrupting the anti-tank capabilities of the infantry brigade.

Aiming at the giant with a rocket launcher, but these clones are so fast that they are impossible to aim at.

Firearms are useless, and cannons and rocket launchers are hard to hit, so how can we fight?
As the tanks arrived, the infantry brigade's first line of defense collapsed. Even if a few rocket launchers destroyed the tanks, the clones inside would crawl out and become giants to join the slaughter.

Ten minutes later, the oil-producing country's fighter jets finally arrived, but they didn't find an opportunity to unleash their missiles because what they saw was completely unexpected: a large amount of equipment and corpses were left behind on the defensive line in front of the infantry brigade.

Gunfire could be heard throughout the town, and giants could be seen wreaking havoc, along with a few giant corpses.

Large numbers of defeated soldiers fled towards the mountains and fields from the rear of the town, all crying and wailing.

They were no match for them. A mere 60-odd giants routed their 4000-strong force; it was a one-sided massacre.

The fighter pilot couldn't help but think: the 38th Armored Division is finished.

Because he had just learned of the casualties of the 38th Armored Division, an armored brigade was completely wiped out, and a reserve infantry brigade suffered the same fate.

Now even the infantry brigade has been wiped out, leaving only an armored brigade struggling to survive. I heard that although there are the fewest giants there, there is an even more terrifying monster that easily destroyed two tank battalions.

The 38th Armored Division is probably wiped out now. You know, the oil-producing country only has two armored divisions, which are elite units.
