Chapter 646 Tactics
Nanye immediately looked at the big screen and saw a barrage of artillery fire falling on two huge tortoise-shell shields. There seemed to be faint cracks in the two huge tortoise-shell shields.
"Zoom the camera closer to get a clear picture!" Nanye shouted.
"Sir, the camera has been stretched to the limit!" the intelligence officer said helplessly. In order to ensure the survival rate of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, all the drones responsible for reconnaissance fly at the highest altitude. It is difficult to detect the enemy at this altitude. The picture is extremely clear, and the resolution is simply not up to par.
"Lower the flying height of a drone. I want the clearest picture!"
Nanye said in a deep voice, and soon, a black-painted unmanned reconnaissance aircraft began to lower its altitude silently. As the altitude of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft continued to decrease, the picture on the big screen gradually became clearer and clearer. , everyone in the command center saw a shocking scene.
"There are cracks on the tortoise shell!"
Someone exclaimed in disbelief that the high-explosive shells did not crack the huge turtle shields, but everyone in the command center could clearly see that only these two giant turtle shields were densely covered with a special kind of Warheads, those warheads were deeply embedded in the tortoise shell, densely packed.
There were cracks everywhere on the edge of the warhead, and many tortoise shells even showed signs of being pierced.
"It's a tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet!" Nanye's face changed slightly, and he immediately recognized the densely packed warheads. They were Qinghu Fortress's 155mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets. This kind of artillery shell can penetrate a hundred millimeters of homogeneous steel plate frontally. If two or three armor-piercing bullets hit the same location, they can penetrate the giant tortoise-shell shield.
"Sir, according to the ballistic calculation, it is an armor-piercing projectile fired from the A17 defense zone!" The intelligence officer made a few operations on the computer and immediately shouted loudly.
"A17? That's the defense area of Li Mu and Zhao Xin!" Nanye recalled the list after thinking for a moment. It was obvious that the order to replace the artillery shells should be issued by Li Mu. Although Zhao Xin was the son of a general, it was not Nanye who looked down on him. He, he doesn't have the ability to think of this at all.
"Order all artillery units to replace armor-piercing bullets and continue shelling with armor-piercing bullets!" Nanye ordered without hesitation. I didn't expect that Li Mu was not only strong, but also had such a keen sense of war. He is definitely a good seedling. If he can be officially recruited If you join the alliance military, you will definitely become a top general in charge in the future.
But all this will have to wait until after the war.
"Yes, sir!"
"Quick, quick, quick, the artillery unit will replace armor-piercing bullets, all of them will replace armor-piercing bullets!"
As soon as the order was issued, all the artillery units in the entire Qinghu Fortress facing the direction of the water demon army immediately began to replace armor-piercing bullets and directly use armor-piercing bullets for bombardment.
"Li Mu, you want them to change armor-piercing bullets? But I heard that the killing effect of armor-piercing bullets on monsters is very average, far inferior to high-explosive warheads!" Nangong Mingyue said with a curious look.
"Mingyue, please ignore this idiot. He gives random orders during the war. This kid is going to go to the military court!" Zhao Xin followed him at some point and said disdainfully.
Li Mu glanced at him and smiled lightly.
"You know nothing!"
Since this kid is full of hostility and murderous intentions towards him, Li Mu must save face for him. Even if he is the son of a general, Li Mu still doesn't look down on him.
"What did you say?" Zhao Xin's eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly became furious.
"Boy, apologize to Mr. Zhao!" Luo Jiuye had a gloomy look on his face, full of momentum, and shouted coldly towards Li Mu.
"What are you doing? Zhao Xin, don't go too far!" Nangong Mingyue's pretty face sank and she shouted dissatisfied. When she was angry, she stood in front of Li Mu and directly faced Luo Jiu's momentum. Fang Hong and the others, the four great kings of the Nangong family, He had no choice but to step forward to protect her.
When Zhao Xin saw Nangong Mingyue standing up for Li Mu, a flash of blood flashed in his eyes, and his heart was filled with anger.
"Sir, according to the command center's order, all artillery units have replaced armor-piercing shells!" At this moment, the artillery commander of this section of the city wall suddenly said loudly.
His words made Zhao Xin and others' expressions change, and they all showed puzzled looks. Armor-piercing bullets were obviously not as effective against monsters as high-explosive bombs. How could the command center make such a mistake?
"Hmph, it's impossible. How could Nanye give such an order? How could he make such a stupid mistake!" Zhao Xin said with an ugly face.
"You're so free, why not ask him in person!" Li Mu sneered, too lazy to talk nonsense to him, and immediately paid attention to the picture sent back by the master brain.
Nanye ordered all the more than 20,000 heavy guns at Qinghu Fortress to be replaced with armor-piercing bullets. The dense armor-piercing bullets began to pour in like crazy. Each heavy gun only had ten armor-piercing bullets. Nanye had no intention of keeping these armor-piercing bullets. The black rain of armor-piercing bullets was directed towards The pieces of turtle shield fell over.
"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!"
Densely packed armor-piercing bullets directly hit the giant tortoise-shell shields, and dull crashing sounds sounded wildly. However, in just a blink of an eye, the giant tortoise-shell shields were filled with tungsten alloy warheads.
But this was just the beginning. More than 20,000 heavy artillery fired continuously, and half of the armor-piercing projectiles landed directly on the tortoise shells. In one salvo, more than 10,000 tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles landed on these giant tortoise shells. After ten rounds of salvos, , all the armor-piercing bullets were fired, and more than 100,000 tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets covered those giant tortoise-shell shields.
"If it's not enough, apply to the command center to transfer armor-piercing ammunition from other places!" After ten rounds of salvo fire, Li Mu shouted to the artillery commander without hesitation.
The artillery commander didn't know why. He didn't know what Li Mu wanted to do, but judging from the reaction of the command center, Li Mu's decision seemed to be the right one, so he did not hesitate to directly apply to the command center.
The artillery troops on the city wall didn't know the significance of using armor-piercing projectiles, because the water monsters were still far away from Qinghu Fortress, dozens of kilometers away, and they couldn't see what was happening so far away.
"Mobile all the armor-piercing bullets, hurry!" Nanye received the request and saw the densely packed tungsten alloy warheads on the giant tortoise-shell shield. He chose to trust Li Mu's judgment and immediately mobilized the armor-piercing bullets from other places without hesitation.
There are 100,000 heavy artillery pieces in the entire Qinghu Fortress wall defense line, and other heavy artillery pieces are also equipped with armor-piercing projectiles. Boxes of armor-piercing projectiles were quickly picked up by military vehicles and pulled over through the roads inside the city wall.
"Keep firing!"
Then the artillery that had just cooled down for a while began to roar again, and rounds of artillery salvos lasted for nearly half an hour.
When the armor-piercing bullets stopped falling, at least two to three thousand tungsten alloy warheads appeared on each turtle shield. Some of the warheads even overlapped and almost penetrated the turtle shield.
The water demon army did not stop for half an hour and continued to approach Qinghu Fortress.
"Change to high-explosive bombs!"
Li Mu looked at the picture in his mind and continued to order. The command center had been following Li Mu's orders. The city wall defense area where he was located had just been replaced with high-explosive bombs, and the other 20,000 artillery pieces had also been replaced with high-explosive bombs.
"fire!"
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
The deafening sound of artillery reappeared, and heavy artillery shells roared out. After dozens of seconds, these high-explosive warheads began to fall.
Densely packed high-explosive bombs landed directly on those giant tortoise-shell shields, but after a round of salvos, these giant shields still showed no reaction.
"No effect?" There was a sudden silence in the command center. The armor-piercing bombs were replaced, and the killing efficiency against the water demon plummeted again. Could it be that the armor-piercing bomb attack that lasted for half an hour resulted in this result?
"Keep firing!"
Nanye remained expressionless and continued to order the firing.
More than 20,000 artillery pieces continued to roar, and high-explosive bombs gathered into dense raindrops and fell.
"I thought you had some clever tricks up your sleeve, but I didn't expect that you would have to switch to high-explosive bombs in the end!" Zhao Xin said sarcastically in the city wall defense zone.
The nearly a hundred supreme masters who were assigned all looked at Li Mu one by one. Many people also felt that Li Mu was giving random orders. There was no point in replacing the armor-piercing bullets. It also delayed the artillery unit's attack on the water demon and asked Qinghu Fortress to wait for a while. Will be under greater pressure.
The roaring sound of artillery continued, and high-explosive warheads continued to fall directly on the huge turtle shields. Just when everyone in the command center thought that the strategy just adopted was useless, a turtle shell with a diameter of more than two hundred meters appeared. The giant shield shattered.
"boom!"
The tortoise-shell giant shield shattered directly in the center of the huge screen, followed by the second, third, and fourth tortoise-shell shields. In the blink of an eye, all the tortoise-shell giant shields that were suspended in mid-air just now were shattered. They all shattered and fell, and there was no longer any obstacle in front of the cannonball.
Dense high-explosive bombs fell again, harvesting the lives of the water monsters.
"Blow it up!"
Excited cheers rang out in the command center. Armor-piercing bombs were used to bombard the structure of the turtle shell intensively, and then high-explosive bombs were used to bombard it, destroying the giant shield of the turtle shell from the inside and outside. This battle plan was so thoughtful. If it weren't for this battle plan, it would only Relying on heavy artillery bombardment, I am afraid that the giant tortoise-shell shields at the foot of Qinghu Fortress have not yet been destroyed by the water demon.
"Okay, keep shooting and kill as many of the water monsters as possible!" General Nanye said in a deep voice with a smile on his face.
However, Nan Ye also had a flash of doubt. How did Li Mu know the situation over the water demon army? Did Li Mu have special means to see those giant turtle-shell shields?
"Sir, the command center said that the combat objective has been achieved and the target has been destroyed!"
The artillery commander of this section of the city wall received the notification and told Li Mu excitedly. Although he didn't know what the combat purpose was, the command center was obviously very excited.
"What is the purpose of the battle? What are you talking about?" Zhao Xin looked dissatisfied, feeling that some secret was being hidden from him. Unfortunately, Li Mu ignored him at all.
This war has just begun.
