Chapter 560: Special shells

Although the independent corps is half a standard higher than the ordinary corps, it is still half the difference compared to a single corps with a general title after its name.
This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers brought by Demps Commander over the years, and even spontaneously initiated a joint letter-writing activity.
Head Demps himself has no complaints about this. Based on the principle of where is needed, the letter in the joint letter activity was not delivered at all, and he was suppressed by himself.
By the time this independent corps, the Demps commander knew that this was not because he was not paying attention to himself, on the contrary, it was putting a burden on him.
Artillery is an unprecedented type of arms, and the coordinated combat of infantry artillery will be the regular combat mode of the Yongye Army.
Only by flexibly mastering this combat mode can you become a qualified commander in command.
If you want to understand this unit, what is more convenient than becoming the commander of the independent regiment of this unit?
Therefore, the Independent Corps is more like a stepping board, and how high it can jump depends on what kind of results he achieves here.
With this understanding, Captain Demps naturally did his best to study this new type of arms. Not only did he try his best to maximize its power, but he was also thinking about it. If he cooperates with the infantry, this battle should be How to fight.
During the training process, Demps's Regiment inevitably compares the Mortar Independent Corps with the Infantry Artillery Independent Corps.
I have a deeper understanding of the painstaking efforts of my lord and high-level leaders.
Compared with the latter, the physical requirements of the independent mortar corps are obviously higher than those of the independent infantry artillery corps.
Because the infantry artillery is usually vehicle-mounted, it is too inefficient to train a large number of war horses, and the manpower efficiency is too low. Even the mountain Kentana barbarian with outstanding strength will not last long.
Mortars are different. Although you can use carts to carry horses on flat ground, you need to carry them when you reach the mountain swamps with complex terrain. Therefore, in this corps, the mountainous Kentana barbarians are tall and horses. The ratio is quite high.
Throwing him here, he obviously wanted to use his previous harsh training methods to train him as the second death sickle.
"This is the first battle of our artillery. It is a rare opportunity to collect all kinds of actual combat information on mortars. How could I miss it? This is the meaning of my army. If the mortar goes wrong on the battlefield, I can still Perform battlefield repairs." Master Baker shook his head again and again, resolutely said.
Master Baker is one of the two pillars of the Firearms Bureau, and he is different from Director Tobias.
Director Tobias has a purely technical background and specializes in theoretical design. Most of the technical stuff of the Firearms Bureau comes from him.
Master Baker was born in the army. Before the Independent Engineer Corps turned into a firearms bureau, he had been specializing in blasting technology. He once personally performed the blasting performance in front of the Regent Princess Sophie Liya. He was a frontline commander.
After the establishment of the Firearms Bureau, he was transferred to a technician, but he still specialized in ammunition, plus actual combat tests.
After the infantry artillery and mortar were put into mass production and installed in parallel, Master Baker applied to lead a part of the firearms bureau to form a team of engineers with the army to track and record the actual combat situation, and to accumulate basic data for further improvement.
As the first batch of products, there are still many problems that are limited by craftsmanship and technology. Obviously, these problems cannot be solved by gunners who only have simple maintenance training. Professionals like Baker Masters are also needed.
"These tasks can be handed over to other army engineers. Why should Master Baker take care of himself? At that time, the war is likely to be very intense and there is no time to repair." Head Demps shook his head vigorously.
After several months of getting along, he was very aware of the importance of Master Baker to the new arms of artillery. If there were any mistakes on the battlefield, he could not bear this responsibility.
"I am also an engineer. I am no different from them. Don't worry. I know in my heart that I will protect my life as the first priority." Master Baker obviously knew what Demps was worried about.
"Lord Lord, look..." Seeing that Head Demps couldn't persuade Master Baker, he could only turn his eyes for help to Lord Lord.
After all, the other party is a seconded technician, although it belongs to him temporarily, it is difficult to give mandatory orders.
"Let him go. After all, he has rich experience in this area, and he might be able to help. Just send someone to stare at him and carry him away from the battlefield when necessary. Remember, your combat range, You must stay above 400 meters, do not approach without authorization, and you are not allowed to enter easily. You are only the first line of defense, not the only line of defense. When necessary, abandon the gunners, they are the seeds of our artillery." Xiao En finally decided.
"Yes." Head Demps led the command. Lord Lord has spoken, and it is worthwhile to bite the bullet.
Putting technicians on the front line is certainly a risky move, but doing so will also accelerate the accumulation of experience in this area.
And the battle this time was different from ordinary battles. To a certain extent, it was a moving target.
After Xiao En manipulated the thundering golden eagle to repeatedly provoke, he has roughly measured the farthest attack range of the dragon skeletal battleship, which is between 350 meters and 400 meters.
The 13-type mortar equipped by the Independent Mortar Corps should be more accurately named the 13-type medium-sized mortar, which is between the portable and the towed type, and the effective range is between one hundred meters and two thousand five hundred meters.
Effective does not mean precision.
According to Yongye Army leader's current various auxiliary technical methods, the accurate maximum range of the mortar is only 1,200 meters. This is still in cooperation with auxiliary combat techniques. It would be good if it was replaced with the previous six or seven hundred meters.
A medium size should be added to the middle of the name, naturally to distinguish.
According to the fired ammunition and its own weight, mortars can be divided into light, medium and heavy.
According to the mobile mode, it can be divided into portable, traction and self-propelled.
The firearms bureau currently produces mainly light portable and medium portable.
Among them, the light portable mortar is also called the guard-level mortar, which is mainly equipped to the guard and squadron level as fire support.
The medium-sized portable is a battalion-level mortar, which mainly provides fire support for the regiment and battalion level.
Like the independent mortar corps, the main combat weapon should be towed heavy mortars according to common sense, but it is obviously not suitable for combat in the relatively complex environment of the Swamp of Despair, so temporarily retreat.
After five or six years of fermentation, most of the floods of Despair Swamps have receded, and many mud swamps have dried up and turned into good places.
But don’t expect this to become a plain in the Pingchuan River. The rainfall here is still relatively high. All kinds of small rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and blisters criss-cross, and it is still a water village pattern, like small warships like assault ships. Far better than a war horse.
Fortunately, the mortars used by the Independent Mortar Corps are mainly portable, which provides the feasibility of intercepting along the river. If it is a towed type, it will be troublesome.
Because both sides of the Darren River are relatively soft, half sand and half soil, it is quite troublesome to move if towed.
The mortar position of the Independent Mortar Corps was placed on the southern bank of the Darren River, at the corner of the Danube and Darren Rivers.
The main reason for choosing to place the position here is that after the interception failed, they quickly inserted it diagonally, and then set up a second position on the east bank of the Donau River for a second interception.
When the black mist-shrouded dragon skeletal battleship approached quickly or slowly, they arranged the artillery positions and completed the test firing for nearly half an hour.
"The combat target is expected to reach the No. 1 combat area in five minutes!"
"three minutes!"
"One minute!"
"The combat target enters the No. 1 combat zone."
"Operation plan No. 1 is activated, and a team will release flares!"
The scout cavalry of the Independent Mortar Corps followed the dragon-skeleton battleship and delivered the target message to the temporary command post.
Commander Demps gave orders in an orderly manner.
With a burst of pop, ten mortar shells blasted into the air at the same time.
The first wave of flares was not used because it is night. At this moment, the sun is just westward, which is the best time of day.
This wave of flares was directed at the black fog around the dragon skeletal battleship.
Since the discovery of the Thunder Golden Eagle, the Dragon Skeleton battleship has always maintained a black fog circle with a diameter of over a hundred meters. Its purpose is to shield Shaun from observing the Dragon Skeleton battleship, but unexpectedly intercepted the guns led by Yongye Army Brings natural obstacles.
No one can say that the battleship of the dragon skeletal must be located in the center of this black fog circle.
Even if it was at the beginning, after feeling the power of the shelling, it might not be.
Finding a way to crack the black fog area is king.
Ten flares drew a beautiful parabola and directly hit the center of the river.
Then ten dull and thunderous crackles sounded.
The dazzling light that made people unable to open their eyes burst out from the center of the black fog area, and people couldn't help but turn their eyes away.
Head of Demps and his party's front-line commanders had been prepared for a long time, with sunglasses of the same style as their lord on their faces, blocking most of the light, and staring at the direction of the shelling without blinking.
The first round of shelling was even better than expected.
There are six straight targets, and the remaining four deviate from the target by no more than ten meters.
Such a high hit rate is naturally a surprise, and it is related to setting the budget in advance.
The guy who claimed to be the of death did not have the supernatural powers of the real gods, and could predict that the Yongye Army leader had this brand-new weapon, so the Dragon Skeleton Battleship did not make any ghosts at all, and was located in the center of the black fog area.
And now it is walking on the Darren River, in order to increase the speed, it is still walking in the deepest water.
With this series of limiting factors, if the First Artillery Regiment led by Demps could not hit the target, it would be a shame.
The power of the flares is beyond imagination.
The flares they used were not flares in the ordinary sense, but should be more accurately called light attribute spells.
The black fog entwining around the battleship of the dragon skeletal is not fog in the ordinary sense, but the formation of death magic energy, the illuminating substance in the ordinary sense, against it, the effect is only ideal.
To deal with the magic energy, it is the most suitable.
In fact, there are not one type of artillery shells in the hands of the Yongye Army leader, but seven types.
Needless to say, the six types correspond to the six elements respectively, which are flares, black domain bombs, incendiary bombs, frozen bombs, seismic bombs, and tear bombs, as well as pulse bombs composed of a mixture of six elements.
By looking at their names, you basically know their corresponding attributes.
The flares correspond to the light attribute. After its explosion, the scattered light attribute spell energy will last for a long time, which has the auxiliary effect of lighting.
The black domain bullet corresponds to the dark attribute. The dark attribute spell energy in it has the same effect as the death spell energy. It can form a dark area that shields the line of sight and perception. The coverage and duration are related to the spell energy contained in it.
Incendiary bombs, corresponding to fire attributes, have a combustion-supporting effect. Regardless of whether you are organic or inorganic, they will fall into violent combustion until the magical energy contained in them dissipates to a certain extent.
Frozen bombs, corresponding to water properties, are highly condensed water elements, which are not pure water elements. When they are released in an instant, they will absorb surrounding energy and produce a freezing effect.
Seismic bombs correspond to the properties of soil, and their principles are similar to those of water. They can vibrate with the land and then produce a shock wave effect. This bomb is the best choice for destroying city walls and tall buildings. It starts directly from the foundation.
The tearing bullet corresponds to the wind attribute. The principle should not be difficult to understand. Once it explodes, countless wind elements shoot at high speed. It is an invisible knife with a handle. If the distance is close enough, even steel will be torn apart, let alone. human body.
The impulse bomb is composed of six mixed elements. The explosive power of this bomb should be considered the greatest, and it will form a powerful pulse, hence the name, but the elements inside are too mixed, with all effects and nothing at all. Strong, but not as characteristic as the first six bullets.
The choice of flares is naturally based on the principle of attribute mutual restraint.
The six elements interact with each other. This statement is correct in most cases.
At least when the light element and the dark element meet, they will neutralize each other.
In other words, a black domain bullet was shot in front, just forming a black domain, and a flare bullet hitting the back foot would directly flush out the black domain, which was fine.
This is not a theory, but has been verified by Yongyejun.
Although the death magic energy is magical and even qualified to be called the seventh element, it is still the magic energy at the root, especially the dark element occupies the main tone, and the flares are the most likely to restrain it.
Whether it is from the perspective of lighting or from the perspective of neutralization, flares are the best choice.
The test results proved the correctness of their guess.
The flares exploded in the black fog area, and the light element rammed straight, even if it was nearly a kilometer away, it seemed that the two elements could be heard neutralizing, and then one after another, thick or faint silhouettes jumped from it. Came out and wailed in pain.
Those were the souls who had been imprisoned in magical energy, and the magical energy of single attribute was burning them.
But they seem to hate the black mist that once imprisoned them even more, turning their heads to tear the energy in the black mist.
Every time a part of the energy is torn from the black mist, their body will become richer, and their strength will grow.
But more, because the body is too thin, once exposed, it will not last for a few seconds, and it will completely dissipate.
Compared with this unique effect, the explosion effect brought by directly hitting the dragon-skeleton battleship is not enough.
"Humble maggots, how dare you attack the great of death, you are fighting death, I want to kill you all! Kill you all!" The black mist face appeared again, roaring frantically towards the First Artillery Corps The ground came.
"Gosh, is that still a dragon skeletal battleship? How come it's all made of bones?"
"Could it be the soul that we just saw? This black mist is entirely composed of dead souls?"
"Is this guy really the of death? Can we defeat death?"
"No~EbookFREE.me~ This guy is about to rush over, what should I do? What should I do? Do you want to escape?"
"No chaos, all people, stick to their posts, and those who leave without permission will be dealt with by military law."
"Don't be scared by this guy. This guy is just bluffing. It can't hurt us."
"If he is really the of death, he will be hurt by us just now, and everyone will proceed as planned."
"Do you remember the name of our battle plan this time? God Tu, even if he is really a god, we will slaughter it, God Tu!"
"God Tu!"
"God Tu!"
"God Tu!"
