The Fourth Calamity never believed in the steel torrent!

Chapter 47 Throwing landmines like hand grenades, where did this Cambrian superhuman come from?

"Lieutenant Colonel, if I may be so bold, isn't what we're doing a bit too risky? What if the enemy has planted bombs on this bridge?"

Lieutenant Colonel August had just finished issuing the order when a battalion commander of an infantry battalion frowned and asked him a question.

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant colonel turned to the battalion commander and asked in return:
"Is there a bomb on this bridge? Didn't you say you had sent engineers to defuse all the bombs here when you attacked?"

"Uh, that's right, but..."

Before the infantry battalion commander could finish speaking, Lieutenant Colonel August waved his hand and said:
"No buts. Now that you've removed the explosives, there's nothing to worry about. The enemy couldn't possibly have reinstalled explosives on the bridge in such a short time, could they?"

Clearly, Lieutenant Colonel August doesn't understand players.

If he understood players, he would realize that when the Dauntless mech appeared and drew the attention of the other armored soldiers, the player had already used those few seconds to plant the bomb.

For ordinary soldiers, if they wanted to plant bombs under the bridge, they would have to run over first, then lower themselves down little by little, before finally planting the bombs in the key locations.

But for the player, all he needs to do is press a button, throw the bomb, and it will be installed in a second.

Seeing the Peacemaker mech on the other side braving a hail of bullets from the players, constantly firing its four machine guns as it quickly crawled towards them, the unscrupulous players who had just finished planting the bombs immediately revealed excited smiles.

"Hehehe, here they come! These idiots have taken the bait!"

"Wait a minute, I'm telling you, don't rush to press the buttons. Let a bunch of enemies come over first, then bomb their most elite parts!"

"Think about it, once their vanguard has crossed the bridge, we'll unleash a devastating explosion, sending their follow-up troops flying into the air and trapping those who just crossed the bridge. Wouldn't that be even more satisfying?"

Under the command of an experienced veteran player, several players who had planted the bombs hid in the trenches, ready to detonate them at any moment.

Meanwhile, other players would occasionally peek out from their positions and launch crossfire at the side of the bridge, drawing the enemy's attention while inflicting casualties on the Black Hawk soldiers.

"With so much automatic firepower, it looks like we might have really caught a big fish. This equipment configuration is unlike that of an ordinary Cambrian unit!"

Looking at the light machine guns and submachine guns that appeared on the position from time to time, as well as the long bursts of fire, Lieutenant Colonel August excitedly spoke to the officers around him.

Although he wasn't quite sure what type of weapons these Cambrian soldiers were using, he felt as if he had never seen such weapons before.

Regardless of the soldiers' skillful marksmanship or the number of automatic weapons they were equipped with, it was clear that they were an elite force, possibly even a unit with the Guards designation!
Thinking about it this way, a burning desire arose in his heart.

The merit and honor of annihilating a ragtag army and annihilating a unit with the Guards designation are completely different concepts!

The former can only be described as mediocre, while the latter is enough to make him a household name!
While Lieutenant Colonel August was busy talking, the first Peacemaker mech at the front of the group quickly and successfully climbed to the other side of the bridge, and then began to fire at the street.

The crew inside the mechs were unsure if there were anti-tank rifles on the street, but the intense machine gun fire was enough to suppress any potential anti-tank fire and cover the advance of the troops behind them.

Just then, a player leaped from the trench, throwing an anti-tank mine shaped like a rice cooker from his hand. The next moment, with a deafening roar, the Peacekeeper mech that had just charged forward was instantly blown up by the heavily loaded anti-tank mine.

"What the hell... where did this Cambrian superman come from?"

Lieutenant Colonel August, who watched the whole scene through binoculars, felt that the soldier's actions were rather outrageous.

Putting aside how dangerous it is to rush up while holding an anti-armor mine at such close range, just the sheer strength of this guy's arms is simply astonishing!

If he remembered correctly, the Cambrian Empire's anti-armor mines weighed at least ten kilograms!
So how did this guy manage to throw a ten-kilogram thing so far, like throwing a discus, with a single leap?
The player who rushed out was naturally doomed.

Although at that distance he wouldn't be instantly killed by an anti-tank mine, the machine guns of the other mechs quickly turned him into a pile of minced meat.

However, this player had an excited smile on his face as he died.

He wasn't smiling because of his heroic sacrifice, but because of the gains he had made.

Destroying such a mech is enough for him to revive several times over, and a large amount of merit points were instantly deposited into his account!
Other players followed suit, all wanting to replicate the mine-throwing tactic once again, but the Black Hawk armored soldiers, who were prepared, didn't give them that chance again.

After a barrage of gunfire, the few reckless players who had just rushed out were all killed on the spot, and their deaths were extremely gruesome.

Being targeted by at least 20 machine guns, his final death was predictable; all that can be said is that a few pieces of flesh and blood were found amidst a large number of metal bullets.

As the other five Peacekeeper mechs at the forefront crossed to the other side of the bridge and gradually began sweeping through the surrounding trenches with the accompanying soldiers, Lieutenant Colonel August showed a satisfied expression.

The Cambrian superman who suddenly appeared was just an accident.

Clearly, the war was still under his control overall!
But just then, looking at the few mechs that had just crossed the bridge and about a platoon of Black Hawk soldiers, and then at the dozen or so mechs crossing the bridge, and at least a whole company of infantry.

The veteran scout player, who had been waiting for his chance, immediately gave the order to detonate the bomb.

The next moment, with a deafening roar, a massive explosion instantly destroyed the sturdy bridge piers beneath the bridge.

The bridge deck near the town seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand, instantly soaring into the sky, along with a large number of mechs and soldiers crossing the bridge, all of whom were also heavily flung into the air.

Even the Black Hawk soldiers who were further back and not affected by the blast wave were instantly killed by the shockwave of the explosion.

In particular, the shockwave also contains a large number of metal fragments and brick debris, which are no less lethal than bullets when they are moving at high speeds.

Seeing the terrifying scene that had instantly transformed into a hellish landscape, Lieutenant Colonel August, who had previously felt that everything was under control, unconsciously dropped the binoculars in his hand.

　Sorry, I haven't played Battlefield before with Katyusha; I only knew about it from watching short videos. I didn't quite understand it then. I'll address the anti-tank issues later.
