The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 33 Traitor! A traitor has launched a sneak attack from behind!

"Get down! Take cover!"

The sergeant, who had narrowly escaped being hit, quickly lay down behind a sandbag, shouting angrily:
"Damn it! Our artillery can't penetrate them! What kind of structure do their buildings have? How can they be so sturdy?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a soldier beside him shouted anxiously:

"Sergeant Walter, that should be the clock tower of this town. It's probably a stone building, almost like a bunker!"

"We need to switch to armor-piercing rounds to penetrate this thing, otherwise we won't be able to get through!"

Gan!
There was no need for the soldier to say it; Sergeant Walter actually knew what it was, he was just swearing!
Their infantry regiment was ordered to capture this town and several surrounding villages, but who would have thought that they would encounter a bunker-like building here!

Under normal circumstances, their infantry guns would not carry armor-piercing shells at all, since it was well known that the Cambrian Empire was backward in mechanization and lacked border defenses.

They had already broken through several fortified areas on the border of the Cambrian Empire long before, and in most cases, the infantry artillery did not need armor-piercing shells at all.

As a result, they are now in an awkward situation!

Meanwhile, the Cambrian soldiers inside the clock tower burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! Chekolov, well done! This is a really good defensive point!"

"To hell with those damned Blackhawks! Hold this clock tower, they won't be able to cross the bridge!"

This town has a history so long that, long ago, the local lords built a stone tower, or rather a small fortress, in front of the bridge, which was practically impregnable.

Although the building is quite old, it has been well-maintained, making the tower still quite sturdy even today.

Judging from the current situation, unless the other side uses 75mm infantry guns to bombard them continuously, they are unlikely to be able to destroy this small building!

Chekolov, who was in charge of operating the machine gun, smiled and prepared to continue using machine gun fire to suppress the enemy troops at the bridgehead, but then artillery fire came from afar.

"In vain..."

He was about to make a contemptuous mockery of the Black Hawk Empire's artillery when, in the next instant, a 75mm shell accurately flew through the window and exploded inside the clock tower!

The Black Hawk artillerymen on the distant artillery positions cheered excitedly. One artilleryman, with a chocolate bar still in his mouth, was surrounded by others who kept praising his skills.

"Hopman, you truly deserve to be called an ace artilleryman, you're simply amazing!"

"Incredible! How did you manage to fire a shell so accurately into the window from such a distance?"

The artilleryman named Hopman merely curled his lip in disdain and said with a smile:

"It's nothing special. Practice makes perfect. It's just that the backward Cambrian Empire has never seen what real artillery looks like!"

"Alright, guys, enough talk, keep firing and suppressing them, get the brothers up ahead to take over this bridge completely!"

After the clock tower was hit by a shell through the window, the battle situation on the bridge was immediately reversed due to the loss of the machine gun cover.

Previously, it was the Black Hawk Empire's soldiers who were pinned down by machine guns at the bridgehead, but now, it's the Cambrian soldiers on the other side of the bridge who are being suppressed by enemy infantry artillery. A heavy machine gun that was originally set up there hadn't even had time to be moved before it was blown to pieces by several shells falling from the sky, along with the machine gunner behind it.

The other Cambrian soldiers had no choice but to flee in disarray. Under such artillery fire, they had no chance to hold their ground at the bridgehead!

On the bridge, Sergeant Walter and several others waved to the soldiers around them and led them to rush to the other side of the bridge.

As long as they can use the cover of artillery to set up a bridgehead on the other side of the bridge, then the bridge will be completely theirs!

But just then, he suddenly heard what sound came from behind him.

He turned around curiously, only to be stunned by what he saw behind him.

While Hopman was busy firing at the enemy forces on the opposite bank, he suddenly felt a tremor in the ground, and a very obvious metallic scraping sound and engine noise were gradually approaching from behind.

He turned around curiously, wondering what was approaching from behind.

"What's coming? Is it our reinforcements? I haven't heard that any more reinforcements are arriving."

One artilleryman also came over, looking back with curiosity, while another artilleryman said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry about it, maybe it's just some unit that has arrived here."

"On this battlefield, we're the only ones with mechs. This commotion must have come from a mech. Who else could it be but reinforcements running up from behind us?"

As soon as the artilleryman finished speaking, sure enough, two huge iron cans, one tall and one short, rolled over the hillside on their mechanical legs.

The two armored vehicles looked like two giants, standing high above and looking down at the battlefield. The black falcon emblem on the armored vehicles was extremely eye-catching.

Upon recognizing their own men, the artillerymen breathed a sigh of relief. Some waved to them, while others continued carrying shells and began shelling the area ahead.

They ran out from behind their own troops, and the armored vehicles were also of their own country's type, and even had their own army's insignia on them. How could they possibly be the enemy?

But the next moment, a burst of machine gun fire suddenly rang out, and in the blink of an eye, this artillery position with six infantry guns was swept away by a storm of metal.

"Ah—! My legs, my legs!"

"You bastards, what are you doing? Are you all insane?"

"Traitor! There's a traitor!"

Various panicked screams rang out one after another on the position. The artillerymen who were not blown to pieces by machine guns fled in all directions, looking at the armored vehicles behind them in disbelief as they ran.

They never dreamed that their own country's mechs would betray them, that they would attack from behind the Black Hawk Empire's own army!

As for whether these two mechs were captured by the enemy and the pilots inside have been replaced by another group of people?

The Black Hawk soldiers didn't even consider this possibility, because not just anyone can sit in a mech and start operating it.

How could Cambrian soldiers be born knowing how to operate mechs without extensive training? There must be a traitor!
