Chapter 197: Giant Cannon
Lieutenant Aono Saburo, the leader of the 39th Battalion of the Star Infantry Regiment, walked into the corps headquarters. He bowed and said, "Your Excellency Star God, the enemy is digging a star tunnel!"
Colonel Koshio Toranosuke, the star tiger, walked quickly to the observatory and took a glimpse with the magic telescope.
Sure enough, in a dark place not far away, thousands of enemy soldiers were digging mysterious tunnels with star shovels.
Colonel Kosei Toranosuke sneered, "The Chinese are a bunch of fools, trying to defeat us with such a stupid tactic! Order the entire army, if they get close, respond with star bombs!"
"As ordered!"
Wang Chen, commander of the baggage and engineering company, led two guards to patrol the defense line.
Liao Yun, the company commander of the engineering company, held a star shovel and worked hard with his subordinates.
Seeing Wang Chen approaching, he put down his tools and took the opportunity to catch his breath.
Wang Chen pointed to a cave: "This place is not deep enough, we need to dig more. Remember, we must not let the star ghosts notice it!"
Liao Yun handed over a pack of Xingchen tobacco and gave one to Wang Chen: "Captain, I understand the tunnels, but what is the purpose of these earth holes?"
Wang Chen knew the secret order from his superiors, and after taking the cigarette, he replied, "Don't ask useless questions, just execute them. Don't be long-winded, remember that each soil hole must be at least half a star foot deep, and the surrounding soil must be compacted!"
Seeing that Wang Chen was unwilling to elaborate, Liao Yun could only promise: "Don't worry! We are experts in this field and will never make mistakes!"
"That's good!"
The 358th Regiment continued to dig star tunnels, but these tunnels suddenly ended more than star feet away from the Star Ghost position.
Lieutenant Aono Saburo was puzzled: "What are these enemies planning? Why don't they continue digging?"
Colonel Kosei Toranosuke glanced at the sky and thought he had seen through the enemy's intentions: "It seems that the enemy intends to launch a surprise attack on us under the cover of night. Pass the order down, we must be vigilant tonight and must not let the enemy's trick succeed!"
"As ordered!"
When the full moon is high in the sky, the silver moonlight spreads all over the earth, and everything is clearly visible even without turning on the lights.
Chief of Staff Cao Geng, accompanied by Deputy Chief of Staff Fang Ligong and Thunder Cannon Battalion Commander Liang Guoping, inspected the Thunder Cannon positions on the front line.
In addition to trenches, there are more than forty mysterious caves in the tunnels here.
A star oil barrel was half buried in each hole, with only the barrel mouth exposed.
Looking at these oil drums, Cao Geng asked, "Captain Liang, there won't be any accidents with these Thunder missiles, right?"
"Don't worry, sir! I have tested these thunder missiles many times. I know all the factors, such as the amount of explosives, the weight of the explosive pack, the delay of the detonator, and the length of the fuse. There will be no accidents!"
"Well, let's see your wonderful performance. Don't let us down!"
"Please rest assured, it's foolproof!"
"Ok!"
The Thunder Artillery Battalion raced against time to place explosives in the oil drum, install the fuse, seal it with isolation boards, and then place the explosive pack on top.
Everything is proceeding tensely and orderly.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Cao Geng checked the time and immediately gave the order: "Fire!"
Upon hearing the order, the gunner immediately put down the red flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Fire!"
The thunder artillery at the front position immediately ignited the fuses of the explosives and explosive packs...
Fashoyi's magic wire burned out, causing an explosion.
The explosion released astonishing energy and broke through the magic barrier. At the same time, the still burning pyrotechnics were pushed into the clouds.
It followed an arc trajectory and landed in the orc camp two hundred yards away.
The power of the Flying Flame Cannon is incredible, but its accuracy depends entirely on fate.
Maybe it will fly to 200 yards, maybe only 150 yards, everything is determined by the will of the god.
Once the flaming spell is launched into the air, the destined collision can only be guided by trust.
Either it explodes the moment it hits the ground, or flames dance wildly in mid-air.
roar!
When the explosive talisman exploded, the sound waves shook the heaven and earth, like the thunder of divine punishment.
The force of the explosion was so terrifying that everything could be destroyed.
Some of the craters were twenty feet deep!
The beastman warrior was right under the explosive fire spell and his flesh and blood flew everywhere in an instant.
The orcs who were lucky enough to avoid being covered by the talisman could not escape the blast and shock caused by the bomb, and their internal organs were shattered.
These forty-two flying flame cannons are magical weapons that Cao Geng transformed from oil barrels over the years.
He gave his all to completely defeat the 9th Brigade of the Orc Mixed Legion.
Forty-two flying flame cannons instantly paralyzed the orc front line.
After several rounds, hundreds of orc warriors died in the artillery fire before they could react.
Some exploded in the air, some hit the orcs, and some fell to the ground and exploded.
In addition to the Flying Flame Cannon, the Barracks' nine 75-caliber Mountain Spirit Cannons, eight 82-caliber Wind Breath Cannons, and four 120-caliber Earth Vein Cannons were also unleashing their firepower without reservation at this moment.
Numerous artillery pieces fired simultaneously, and the entire orc position was bombarded everywhere.
There is no blind spot left.
The broken flesh and bones of the orcs were scattered on the charred ground, forming a sad and beautiful picture against the scorched earth.
The orcs had never experienced such a horrific bombardment and they were almost crazy.
What is going on with all this?
Why did such a horrific bombardment come?
Could it be that the elves launched an attack?
The foundation of the command post of the 9th Brigade of the Mixed Corps was shaking, almost causing Major General Toranosuke Oshio to lose his footing.
He exclaimed: "What happened? What happened?"
Lieutenant Colonel Saburo Aono, the commander of the 39th Infantry Regiment, rushed in frantically, shouting, "General, something is wrong. The enemy got a super cannon from somewhere and is bombarding us!"
Major General Kosei Toranosuke almost lost control and shouted: "Giant cannon? How is it possible? How can humans possess a super giant cannon!"
"It's real, and it's probably a cannon with a caliber of 203mm or more. It's terrible. With one shot, almost all of our squad was wiped out. We really can't hold on any longer. General, let's break out!"
Major General Toranosuke Oshio couldn't believe it, but the explosion outside forced him to accept reality.
Listening to the continuous roar, there were at least forty or fifty cannons firing.
Under such terrifying artillery bombardment, any earth and stone defenses were useless.
Even if a soldier is made of steel, he cannot survive such fierce artillery fire.
Major General Kosei Toranosuke shouted angrily, "Order, break out in the direction of Taiyuan!"
"Yes, sir!" Several captains hurried to convey the order...
It was almost midnight, the moon was low in the sky, and Cao Geng tossed and turned in anxiety. The magic smoke in his hands was swirling, one wisp after another, just like the endless worries in his heart.
Why didn't the orc warriors retreat? How did they resist the impact of this mysterious force?
This flying thunder cannon is comparable to the ultra-short-range large-caliber magic mortar. It was originally a secret weapon reserved for critical moments. Now the dark army of the Japanese army is approaching.
Cao Geng had no choice but to reveal his last trump card in advance. If the orc army still held on, the 358th Regiment's secret magic potion would be exhausted, and it would be difficult to defeat the th Orc Brigade.
Just when Cao Geng was extremely anxious, Fang Ligong rushed into the tent with a happy look on his face.
"General, scouts at the front reported that the orcs have begun to break out! They are rushing towards Taiyuan!"
