The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 279 Let the enemy tremble in the sound of gunfire!
"Wait a minute, everyone! I have a feeling something's not right..."

Andrei stopped the tank, jumped out, found a random respawn point, got his warhorse, and rode it all the way to his mobile command post behind him.

Upon arriving here, Andrei told his staff what he had noticed and asked them to help analyze what was going on.

It has to be said that having an advisory group is really useful.

Andrei wasn't quite sure how the staff of other Cambrian officers were used, but his staff was definitely effective.

Generally speaking, he doesn't need to consider too many things; he just needs to hand over the battlefield issues to the staff for analysis and let them come up with several different solutions.

He will then choose one of the options and have his officers implement it, without needing to deal with too many details.

This largely compensates for Andrei's shortcomings in details. After all, even though he has been desperately trying to improve his military knowledge, his common sense is still not very reliable in many aspects.

Upon hearing Andrei's question, the staff officers quickly analyzed the situation, but they came to different conclusions.

Some suspect that the Black Hawk Command may not have been aware of the fighting capabilities of this force, so they only sent a small number of troops, thinking they could defeat them.

Some suspect that the Black Hawk Down troops might be using this method to provoke them, possibly wanting them to go deeper and then launch some kind of ambush.

To be honest, Andrei thinks both arguments make sense.

The battlefield is not a game. The enemy cannot always have the entire map open. If there are intelligence gaps in certain aspects, it is normal for the strength of the troops sent to them to be incorrect.

But after thinking it over, he felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

The Black Hawk Army's intelligence system was far superior to that of the Cambrian Army. Moreover, he also discovered many new weapons within the enemy ranks.

Both the rocket launcher and the newly copied tank surprised Andrei.

Although in his view, both of these things were rather primitive and backward, with basically nothing to learn from them.

However, it must be said that the Black Hawk Empire's military research and development speed is truly impressive. He doesn't know exactly how they did it, but this research and development speed is definitely much faster than that of Germany during World War II.

Since the other side has already deployed new weapons, their troops must be quite formidable, and it's unlikely that such an obvious intelligence oversight would occur.
After much deliberation, Andrei ordered the player's air force to conduct a large-scale reconnaissance of the surrounding area, and to bomb it as well.

He wanted to see just how many Black Hawk troops were hidden around there before deciding what to do next.

Andrei issued a warning, indicating that there might be an ambush ahead, and advised players to retreat and advance with the main force.

However, he seemed to have forgotten the nature of these players, so his reminder backfired somewhat.

Brother Haonan: [Everyone, what do you think of this reminder?]

Veteran10086: [I'm just sitting here watching! Is there even a need to watch? It's obviously an ambush ahead, and it might even be some kind of plot-driven death!]

King Gigi: [I don't think the possibility of a plot-driven death is very high. This game rarely features plot-driven deaths; its main appeal is its high degree of freedom.]

Hao Nan: [Since that's the case, let's just form an armored column and charge up, thwarting their ambush! I want to see what kind of ambush they have!]

Although some players did indeed follow Andrei's advice and temporarily halt their advance, waiting for the air force to provide reconnaissance results before taking further action.

However, at the same time, most players simply assume that there are enemies lying in ambush ahead, and that there may be some formidable units.

So, to Andrei's utter bewilderment, they excitedly drove off, completely ignoring Andrei's warning!
Watching the armored forces disappear into the distance, Andrei's staff officer was also somewhat bewildered.

"General, what's going on? Why have they all been mobilized?"

Andrei slapped his forehead and couldn't help but sigh, saying:
"Oh no, it's very likely that the messenger relayed the wrong message. I'll go ask what's going on."

"Never mind that for now. You all follow the main force. Our air force should be able to reach a conclusion soon, and then we'll consider how to fight!"

After saying this, he quickly ran towards the tank in front of him, afraid that the players would abandon him and run away.

Sorry, messengers, you'll have to take the blame for this!

Otherwise, Andrei really couldn't explain why these guys wouldn't obey orders. He couldn't exactly tell his staff that these players got more excited when they encountered danger, could he?

Anyway, the messenger is also a player, so he's not afraid of taking the blame!

At the same time, he couldn't help but remind himself:
Next time this happens, he shouldn't issue any warnings, and he certainly shouldn't issue any commands to stop the players!

Many players have a rebellious streak; the more the game warns them against doing something, the more they want to do it, since there's no harm in trying it out for them.

Located in the sky, the newly deployed air force players quickly arrived at this battlefield.

Thanks to the good habits that Andrei had developed recently, his troops built a field airfield almost every time they reached a town or open area.

In any case, players don't need high-quality field airfields; an airfield of similar quality is sufficient for them to dock.

With the airport, the departure and resurgence of the air force became much more convenient, and there was no longer a need to temporarily depart from the airport in the rear of Petrograd.

"Note that our mission this time focuses on reconnaissance. The enemy has definitely set up some ambushes in this area, so our task is to find them!"

Inside the plane, one player gave a reminder to the others.

According to their thinking, since the NPC has already issued a reconnaissance mission and clearly stated that it is necessary to investigate whether there are enemies lying in ambush nearby, then there must be enemies lying in ambush, right?

The mission has already been assigned. If they still can't find the ambush, wouldn't that mean the mission has failed?
This is one of the differences between reality and games, since games have scripts.

However, after searching for a while, some players suddenly noticed that there seemed to be enemy troops moving in the distance.

"Wait a minute, could those enemies over there be considered an ambush?"

"These guys' troops are deployed here, they're definitely not here to deal with our friendly forces in Volkhov, they're most likely here for us!"

Seeing the large number of Black Hawk soldiers and armored units being mobilized in the distance, the air force player's eyes lit up, and he calmly analyzed the situation.

He had initially thought that the enemy might be hiding in a small grove or behind a small hill. He even specifically referred to the map of the area and tried to fly towards places with complex terrain.

Unexpectedly, the enemy forces were not as well-hidden as they had imagined; they brazenly formed a large encirclement.

"Submit the screenshots of the enemy forces here and see if we can get a reward. If we can, this must be what they call an ambush!"

When Andrei saw the scene captured by the player from the air, he was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that the Black Hawk Army would actually be preparing to encircle and annihilate him.

He couldn't help but laugh as he thought about the elaborate plan devised by the Black Hawk Army.

"Hehe, these guys are quite interesting. They're definitely planning to take me down!"

Andrei quickly gestured the encirclement area on the map, somewhat alarmed by the Black Hawk Army's large-scale operation.

This encirclement probably involves at least five divisions, and it's unclear where the Black Hawk troops came from.

Considering the Warsahnia cavalry that had previously appeared on the battlefield, Andrei suspected that some of the enemy's troops might be auxiliary forces or something similar.

Otherwise, he doubted where the enemy could possibly have drawn five divisions from; the Black Hawk Army shouldn't have that many mobile forces.

"If nothing unexpected happens, and they launch an ambush here, even a typical Cambrian army could suffer heavy casualties..."

After a rough assessment in his mind, Andrei found that the Black Hawk Army's plan this time was quite feasible.

Under normal circumstances, if they launched such a sudden attack and were hit from different directions in succession, an ordinary Cambrian army would inevitably fall into chaos.

In this chaotic battlefield, even elite guards are unlikely to be able to quickly relay orders, since they don't have a chat area like players do.

Once they are in disarray, Black Hawk's armored forces can quickly divide them into smaller pieces and then concentrate superior forces to wipe them out.

Meanwhile, the Cambrian army, in a state of chaos, was in no way able to muster an effective counterattack force, and they had almost no chance of breaking through.

However, this kind of strategy is not very effective for players.

Putting aside the sheer ferocity of Andrei's combined attack in one direction, which would unleash a devastating offensive, just considering the players' respawn time, he could simply keep wearing down the enemy indefinitely.

As for supplies, players have very low demand for supplies; armored units only need some fuel.

Andrei brought back a considerable amount of fuel this time, and more fuel will be transported from Petrograd.

It's important to know that Volkhov is a crucial transportation hub. Once he breaks into the city, he can immediately obtain supplies from the train station.

Of course, all of this was contingent on the railway not being cut off by the enemy, but he believed that the enemy would not be able to cut off his railway.

Having figured all this out, Andrei stopped worrying about the player's actions and confidently ordered the tanks to charge forward!
Of course, during the assault, he had his tanks closely follow the P1000 giant rats, which were his biggest safety guarantee.

"I wonder if the enemy has deployed any Titan units in this area?"

After glancing at the photos sent back by the player, Andrei muttered to himself as he carefully observed the scene inside.

If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy should not have deployed any Titan legions here. At least, his air force circled the area and found no trace of any Titans.

Without Titans, what is there to fear?

Without Titans, his P1000 giant rats are practically land battleships!
It's time to make the Black Hawk Army tremble under his firepower!
Meanwhile, in the air, the players' continuous air raids were giving the Black Hawk troops below a terrible headache.

"Anti-aircraft guns! Anti-aircraft guns! Please, aim your shots!"

"I can't hit it! That thing flies way too fast! Where's our mage? I need magic!"

On an anti-aircraft gun emplacement, an officer who charged at the gunners from above shouted at the artillerymen.

Earlier, a plane had strafed his troops. Although the strafing did not cause many casualties, it did destroy two military vehicles in his unit!
Now that's a problem. Without vehicles for transport, is he going to have to lead his soldiers on a run and follow the armored units on foot?
And most importantly, those two military vehicles had a lot of fuel on them!
Although the fuel that burned on the two military vehicles did not cause much damage because they strictly followed safety regulations.

But this also means that their armored forces will run out of fuel!
Everywhere, people were calling for mages, especially abyss mages who knew the Vicious Shot spell. A group of anti-aircraft gunners looked at them with extreme superstition, hoping they would quickly use magic to shoot down the planes in the sky!

Faced with this situation, the several abyss mages who had just run over all wore bitter smiles.

Brother, it's not that I don't want to use magic to help you, it's just that I really don't know how!
Vicious Shot is an extremely obscure spell, and very few people in their unit have learned it.

Expecting any random abyss mage to know this skill is giving them far too much credit!

Even though they had been frantically studying magic these past few days, they still hadn't made much progress, because magic is really not easy to learn.

The battle mages of the Black Hawk Empire are a typical example of this extreme approach. They only need to learn a few spells, the ones considered the most practical, and spend the rest of their time meditating to accumulate magic power.

No one knows why they can accumulate magic through deep space meditation. The Black Hawk Empire has studied this subject extensively, but without much progress.

This has led to a conflict:
A mage only has so much time to study, but they also have to accumulate magic power and learn spells.

If they learn too many spells first, they will run out of magic power and have very poor endurance on the battlefield.

In comparison, they only use a few spells on the battlefield. While most spells are not useless, they are rarely used, or they can be replaced by something else.

This has resulted in the Black Hawk Empire's battle mages basically only knowing a few spells, making them quite rigid, like products manufactured on an assembly line.

A Spitfire fighter jet was hit by an 88mm anti-aircraft gun and spun around before crashing to the ground.

At the same time, the exposed 88mm anti-aircraft gun position was immediately attacked by several other fighter jets.

A somewhat foolish abyss mage attempted to use a high-energy ray to fight the enemy, which involved channeling a laser from his staff to shoot down enemy planes.

This thing is indeed quite effective against aircraft. It can easily correct the trajectory and lock onto the enemy aircraft, making it almost impossible for any aircraft to get rid of it.

The problem is that using this spell is too revealing, especially since the position was already exposed. Doing so is practically tantamount to courting death.

Under the continuous barrage of machine gun fire, the anti-aircraft guns on the anti-aircraft position were quickly destroyed, and the abyss mage was also blown to pieces.

When he realized something was wrong, he even tried to activate his shield to save himself, but it was clear that his shield couldn't withstand the combined fire of so many machine guns and cannons.

After the air force had ravaged the area, before the Black Hawk troops could even recover from the chaos, they suddenly noticed:

On the distant hillside, a large number of enemy armored units appeared!

"Wait, how did the Cambrian armored forces arrive so quickly? When did their mobility become so great?"

A Black Hawk soldier discovered a blind spot, even though in his memory the Cambrian army's armored units had always moved very slowly.

Unfortunately, among the Cambrian army's armored units, the fastest mobile unit was the reindeer mech, but its speed was only comparable to that of an ordinary medium tank.

As for the abstract incinerator and the later moose mech, both of them are slower than the other.

The Burner was simply too weak to power itself due to its engine, while the Moose Mech was too heavy!

On the battlefield before him, Andrei found almost no use for the moose mech except in ambushes, as it had no long-range mobility whatsoever!

Even setting aside long-distance maneuverability, in most cases, ordinary bridges cannot support such heavy mechs.

Therefore, when this thing needs to cross a river, it has to walk underwater. For this reason, the Cambrian Empire even installed a detachable snorkel on this mech!
This thing is exactly the same technique used by the German armored forces to cross rivers during World War II, but considering its terrible mobility, Andrei can only say that this technique is practically useless.

In comparison, the large number of T-34 tanks currently attacking in front of them were truly no different from tigers in the eyes of the Black Hawk soldiers!

"Quickly! Organize a counterattack, don't let them charge in!"

The commander in charge of defending this area hurriedly shouted to his adjutant.

He simply couldn't imagine what kind of tragedy would result if such a massive force of steel rushed into his ranks while his troops were in chaos.
boom!
A Dauntless mech fired at the charging T34 tank from a distance, but the shot did not seem to hit.

On the one hand, it's because the players are indeed far away from them, which is somewhat beyond the usual firing range of the Dreadnought mechs. On the other hand, it's also because the scenes of players driving are just too fast!
"Wuhu! Take off!" "What?! Eagle Black Hand Bro?!"

"Holy crap! Do you even know how to drive? You almost flipped my car over!"

Unlike armored units that typically form battle formations, players, while also consciously forming battle formations, do so in a rather abstract manner.

The players in the guild were alright; they communicated with each other regularly, and they had also practiced together in previous battles, so their battle formations were still somewhat decent.

But for new players joining the game, they don't care about any of that; they just focus on driving as fast as they can!
So much so that some players were driving perfectly fine, but suddenly a tank crashed into them from the side!
The sudden impact sent his car flying, almost causing it to overturn on that damned downhill road!
The player's side is also firing, and compared to the enemy's artillery, the 57mm gun seems to be more accurate.

Several Black Hawk Armed Forces mechs were suddenly hit by powerful 57mm shells, which instantly tore a hole in their front and then passed through them from behind.

The Dauntless mechs were ultimately too fragile defensively, a fact the Black Hawk Army had already discovered in previous battles, but they had no better alternatives.

This type of mech overemphasizes mobility to the point of neglecting defense, ultimately turning it into a fragile assassin on the battlefield.

However, when the enemy gains a longer-range attack capability, this thing becomes quite vulnerable after losing its preemptive firepower.

Some players will choose to stop and find a hidden spot to fire, but most players, when driving a tank, just charge forward headlong.

They fired their cannons as they drove, not caring where their shells would fly, and just focused on rushing forward.

The players riding behind the tanks were also shouting loudly, and every now and then someone would set up an AT gun and fire at the front.

Andrei's heavy tank unit followed closely behind, and when he had just crossed the hillside and saw the T-34s charging ahead, he couldn't help but cover his face.

"Waaagh!"

Hearing that familiar battle cry, Andrei suddenly realized that his players were really heading in the direction of becoming greenskins!

Wow, he used to think that the greenskins were a bit silly shouting like that, but now he realized that when players get excited, this kind of yelling is really easy to vent their emotions!

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a waaagh field, so no matter how frantically the players shout, he won't transform into a warboss.

"General, our soldiers in front have already charged forward. What should we do next? Should we follow them?"

King Gigi, who was in charge of driving, suddenly turned around and asked Andrei, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

Although the Tiger tank isn't really suited for high-speed driving, it's still pretty exhilarating to drive this heavy tank at high speed, crushing the enemy in its path. He couldn't even imagine the kind of destruction this 50-ton behemoth would cause!
"Find a spot to the side and then set up your cannons to snipe!"

"The 88mm gun is such an accurate artillery piece, wouldn't it be a waste if we didn't use it to shoot from the shadows?"

Andrei didn't care about theories like heavy tanks should be at the front to hold the line; he wasn't playing World of Tanks.

I'll use underhanded tactics and treat heavy tanks like tank destroyers. What's wrong with that?

Do you know what a key NPC is? Do you know what an important VIP character is?

If he had brought a large number of ordinary soldiers with him, then as a general, Andrei might have been interested in personally charging into battle to boost the morale of his troops.

The problem is that, apart from the guards and staff in the command post, almost everyone else in his unit is a player!

If that's the case, then who is he performing for?
The players' morale is already off the charts. Even if he charged in with a tank, he would only earn the nickname "Reckless Warrior" among the players.

boom!
With a single shot, a Fearless mech was instantly destroyed.

Seeing such results, Andrei nodded in satisfaction. The Tiger's 88mm gun was as satisfying as ever!

"Wait a minute, Black Hawk troops are flanking us from the flank. It looks like they're trying to surround us!"

Suddenly, the colonel, who was leading the Krieg Regiment in an attack, noticed enemy troops coming from the flank.

He always preferred battlefield command in combat, so he never fought mindless charges. Therefore, he was also the first to spot the enemy appearing on the flank.

Upon seeing this, Andrei's pupils contracted slightly.

I never expected the Black Hawk Army to react so quickly!
He thought it would take at least half an hour for the other side to flank them!
It seems that the Black Hawk Command has identified this area as a major target of attack, perhaps because of the player's previous airstrikes.

Thinking of this, Andrei suddenly revealed a sinister smile, and then shouted into the radio to the colonel:

"Colonel Jurten. I now need to assign the Krieg Regiment a difficult task. I wonder if you have the confidence to complete it?"

Without waiting for a reply, Andrei continued speaking to himself:

"The enemy has flanked us from the side, but we absolutely cannot allow ourselves to be surrounded here!"

"Next, I need an absolutely fierce offensive to tear apart the enemy's defenses. I need to bombard the enemy, but the Krieg Legion must launch its attack simultaneously with the bombardment! Understand?"

"Next, I will have the artillery prepare a barrage of fire on the front lines. Assemble your soldiers immediately; this war has reached its most critical moment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Andrei issued a mission, ordering the players to launch a breakout.

Upon receiving the mission, the colonel immediately summoned all the players in the guild and then sought help from other players to prepare to organize the Krieg forces and launch another desperate assault!
Upon seeing this exciting-looking mission, a bunch of players got carried away, shouting for the Emperor and for Krieg's honor, and then they charged forward.

But immediately afterward, players reminded them:
Krieg's attacks are always silent, but these cosplays don't even look right!
Newbies are just so bad!
At the same time, Andrei ordered the Katyusha rocket launchers behind his troops to launch a fierce bombardment in the designated direction!

A Black Hawk armored regiment that had just flanked from the side was now heading straight for Andrei's flank.

Although they didn't fire directly due to the distance, judging from the speed of their charge, they would be able to penetrate directly into Andrei's troops in just a few minutes.

"Imperial warriors, do you see the enemy's armored forces ahead? That's their last elite force!"

"Tear them apart, turn this place into a graveyard for enemy armored forces, and destroy that victorious general's last struggle!"

Their leader, riding in a somewhat slow-moving Hunter mech, spoke loudly to the others via radio with an extremely fanatical expression on his face:
"Warriors, we have torn open the gates of hell! Let this plain burn along with the last of the enemy's elite! We are the embodiment of purgatory!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than someone asked him:

"Sir, but how do we deal with that behemoth of the enemy?"

Upon seeing the P1000 giant rats that had also climbed over the hillside in the distance and aimed their turrets at them, the commander's pupils contracted slightly.

But he remained calm and spoke confidently to the soldiers:

"Don't worry, the Empire has war machines to deal with that behemoth. There's no way that thing could survive!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a barrage of cannon fire erupted from a distant hillside.

The two howitzer regiments that the Black Hawk Army had already deployed there launched a fierce bombardment in this direction, or more precisely, towards the P1000 giant rat.

The mission of these artillerymen is to use concentrated artillery fire to destroy the enemy super tank's void shield and expose the tank!

Once that's done, they naturally have other weapons to deal with that thing!
Almost simultaneously, the artillery on both sides opened fire.

A barrage of shells rained down on Andrei's charging armored forces, but the firepower of this salvo was not particularly effective.

Most of the artillery pieces in the Black Hawk Army were not super-heavy artillery pieces. Relying on the shrapnel and shockwaves generated by the shells falling nearby, they were unlikely to cause damage to the tanks in Andrei's army.

After all, Andrei's unit had almost no tanks from World War I. Even the T-34 tanks, which had the weakest armor, were practically indestructible on the current battlefield.

Therefore, unless they are hit directly by a howitzer, these tanks are difficult to destroy on the spot.

Even if various mechanical failures occur due to vibration, players will repair them as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, the players sitting outside the tank were unlucky and were inexplicably killed by artillery fire.

Some players were still completely bewildered when they were blown into the air by the cannonballs, not understanding how they died.

But when Andrei's artillery, deployed behind the hillside, suddenly opened fire, the Black Hawk troops were caught off guard.

They assumed that Andrei's troops had abandoned their artillery units in preparation for the attack, leaving them completely unprepared.

But who would have thought that most of the artillery carried by Andrei's unit were highly mobile self-propelled guns?

Both the Katyusha and the Andrei Hammer are mobile enough to match armored units and are extremely easy to deploy.

Therefore, when the rockets and 203mm heavy artillery rained down on the Black Hawk armored units as they charged forward, they immediately felt what a devastating blow it was.

When the 203mm heavy artillery shells hit the ground, it felt like a heavy hammer had struck their hearts.

Black Hawk troops rarely encounter such artillery fire, let alone armored units being bombarded while on the move.

A Dauntless mech that was charging forward was violently knocked to the ground by the shockwave from the explosion!
Although this thing's walking mechanism has the ability to climb, after encountering such a series of impacts, the drivers inside were either stunned or simply killed by the overpressure.

The mechs that were directly hit by the shells exploded into a huge firework right before everyone's eyes.

"Sir, what should we do? Retreat or continue the attack?"

The shelling had left the commander of the armored regiment with ringing ears. He tried to make out the sounds on the radio while also taking in the battlefield before him.

At this moment, this battlefield has completely transformed into a purgatory, with both sides, friend and foe, finding themselves in a raging inferno.

Armored vehicle wreckage was everywhere, and compared to the relatively intact steel tanks on the other side, their wreckage was even torn to shreds!

"Attack! Attack! Charge forward and engage in close combat!"

"Damn it! Soldiers, raise your bayonets! I refuse to believe that once we get close, their tanks will still be able to fight our mechs in hand-to-hand combat!"

As he said this, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in the armored commander's eyes.

He initially thought the large bayonet in front of the Fearless mech was not very useful, because in most cases, they really didn't have the opportunity to engage in mech combat with the enemy.

But now, he suddenly realized that there was a turning point in the war!
As long as their armored forces can charge into the enemy ranks and engage in a bloody battle, they will not be afraid of enemy artillery bombardment.

Meanwhile, they can easily gain the upper hand in close combat thanks to their mecha fighting skills.

In this way, wouldn't they be able to easily defeat the enemy's armored forces?
Thinking of this, a ferocious and unrestrained smile appeared on his face again, and he was extremely excited.

Andrei paid no attention to the enemy's charge. He glanced at the P1000 giant rat next to him with some concern, wondering if he should move the tank back first.
In the battle just now, the P1000 Giant Rat's 380mm cannon demonstrated tremendous firepower against the enemy forces.

This thing is purely battleship firepower!
One shot, and no matter what armored units the other side has, they'll be blown to smithereens on the spot!
However, the intense bombardment also shattered the object's void shield, which is why Andrei was somewhat worried that this rare armored unit would be damaged.

"...Oh well, we've already brought them along. Weapons are meant for charging into battle!"

Andrei shrugged, but ultimately did not issue the order to retreat.

For players, the most important thing is definitely the thrill of combat. For Andrei, although this thing is indeed rare, it is not indispensable.

In any case, the Winter's Wrath Titan Legion has now been deployed to Petrograd, and its commander is none other than his fiancée.

If we round it up, wouldn't this legion be considered his own army?
Since he doesn't lack Titan units, he naturally doesn't need to be so meticulous; he can just throw these things out there!
Just then, a huge whooshing sound suddenly came, startling Andrei.

He watched helplessly as a huge shell suddenly fell from the sky, exploding not far in front of the P1000 giant rat, and then bursting into a burst of intense fire.

The terrifying shockwave instantly swept away all the players in the vicinity, and even the player who was in charge of operating the anti-aircraft gun on top of the giant rat tank was killed on the spot by the flying shrapnel.

Fortunately, after some modifications were made to the rear, the mobile shrine and choir were better protected and were not greatly affected.

There's no doubt that this shell was quite frightening.

"No way, it's Belsa again?"

Recalling a Black Hawk cannon he had seen before, Andrei suddenly realized something.

Before he could react, another shell came hurtling towards them, but it seemed to hit a spot even further away than the first one.

A Tiger tank, controlled by the player, was advancing alongside it when the shell struck the top of the Tiger tank, instantly piercing through it.

A one-ton shell pierced through the heavy tank and detonated inside, instantly blasting the massive turret high into the air.

As the turret fell, it also happened to hit an unfortunate fellow nearby—a T-34 tank that happened to be passing by. The Tiger tank was smashed to pieces by the falling turret!
"Holy crap? Two big Belsas, they really came prepared!"

Andrei was startled. He never dreamed that the Black Hawk Empire would send two such ruthless characters to deal with him!
What grudge or hatred could this be?

Do you have to be so cruel?
"Air Force! Locate the enemy's heavy artillery and destroy it immediately!"

Andrei quickly issued orders to the Air Force over the radio and simultaneously released the mission as fast as possible.

At the same time, the two armored units that were engaged in a head-on collision also happened to collide.

When the Dauntless mech, bayonet raised, pierced through a T34 tank charging at the forefront, the regimental commander who issued the melee order felt as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Who would have thought that mecha combat techniques could have such an effect?

Doesn't this mean he's found a way to deal with Cambrian armored vehicle forces?

But the next moment, he heard that familiar, chilling whistling sound again.

"No, that's impossible! How could they fire on their own people?"

As he watched as a barrage of rockets hurtled toward the armored battle group engaged in fierce combat, he exclaimed in disbelief.

But he didn't notice that the T34 tank he had pierced was still printed with the skull of the Human Empire and the Eagle symbol, and a Krieg Death Legion banner was fluttering at the top of the tank!
