The 219th chapter is to fight or die (1)
The three seaplanes flying above the battlefield each carried four rocket pods, carrying a total of 360 50mm caliber rockets. In less than twenty seconds, all of these stocks were given to the monster group on the ground. Then, these seaplanes moved into real fire strike mode, after all, using the nose against the enemy was not their strength. With the design of the small door reserved on the left side of the cabin, it was slowly opened under the control of the hydraulic device, and four 40mm gun barrels extended out of the cabin together. With them as the protagonist, various light and heavy firearms equipped on the aircraft began a chorus.
The shooting sound produced by the mixture of multiple weapons has developed to the point in the future. Human ears cannot hear the points, but they just feel the low roar like a strong wind blowing through the woods.
Unexpectedly, they received air support from Taohuayuan. In addition to surprise, the mercenaries who had already retreated were cheering up. They shouted loudly and encouraged the undertrained soldiers, preparing to welcome the monsters to launch a new round of attack.
There is no doubt that the war between humans and monsters has just begun. At this time, it is extremely irresponsible to say that victory or defeat is an extremely irresponsible act. However, it seems to be to prove the correctness of life that is more bizarre than the novel. When the survivors on the position were able to see the wounded beasts running from afar, the smell of adrenaline mixed with sweat spread on the position of human survivors. Suddenly, a subtle cry as pleasant as a singing of a yellow oriole came with the northwest wind.
"Chicky chick..."
The gentle screams that seemed meaningless to humans fell into the ears of those monsters, like an order that could not be violated. After being injured, they became more and more fierce, and the group of monsters that rushed forward slowed down. After a brief hesitation and hesitation, they collectively turned around and ran backwards.
All the people who witnessed this scene were stunned. They patted each other on their cheeks to make sure they were not dreaming. Even Meng Shenji couldn't help but mutter to himself:
“…They ran away.”
If in the inherent impression of people in the past, these monsters with developed body and simple minds have always been three-dimensional incarnations of the word "no fear of death", then today humans can only admit that they are ignorant.
Although there have been a small number of monsters who actively retreated in conflicts with humans in the past, those few precedents have special premises. For example, the sea snake that Wu Han and others encountered on the back of the Goryeo Peninsula gave up chasing humans because they needed to protect the eggs they laid under the threat of the blade lizard, and the retreat of the monster group was too unreasonable. The aerial attack in Peach Blossom Land was in full swing, and the current strength was far from enough to scare them away.
In such a strange situation, the monster's retreat did not make the survivors who escaped the disaster feel relaxed. The people who survived the disaster exchanged their eyes and gathered together to whisper about what happened today. They could see the same doubts and fears as themselves in each other's faces.
Meeting those opponents who are not afraid of death is certainly awesome, but is it even more difficult to deal with opponents who know how to weigh the situation and immediately withdraw as long as they feel that the situation is not good for them? I believe this problem is different and wise.
"What are you all doing in a stand-alone manner? Quickly clean the battlefield. While the land is blown up by shells, quickly lay out anti-tank mines. Can standing here and staring blankly solve the problem of monsters?"
The sophisticated and calm Meng Shenji was one of the first people to react. With his loud scolding, the survivors of the Principality of Changchun were devoted to the busy work of preparing for the next war.
The constant labor of work at least temporarily diluted people's deep fear of the future, while Meng Shenji, who looked solemn, held the mercedes of the settlement wall with his hands, and his eyes were fixedly looking at the horizon in the west.
This time, the monster cluster launched an unprecedented winter invasion, which broke the historical record of survivors in both quality and quantity. This unprecedented crisis situation made everyone in the Northeast region suffer. Taking advantage of the moment when the monsters temporarily retreated, everyone immediately began to strengthen their military preparations and strengthen the defense function of their settlements. If it weren't for the cold and cold weather, the outdoor land was as cold as steel, and the strong man swung his pickaxe and digged it on the land, he could only leave a white spot. It is estimated that the survivors would have to work hard to build a large amount of construction to dissolve the uneasiness hidden deep in their hearts.
As the saying goes, a thin camel is bigger than a horse, and this is true. Although the Torrent Company of the past and the Principality of Changchun today are not as good as before, it is not as good as the one who works in the outside world.
The former mercenaries who were relied on by Meng Shenji as Gancheng, whether they had the cooperation ability of small-scale clusters, or their personal combat awareness and practical experience, were not something that those survivors who became monks halfway could match. Such a strong armed force, which was the best in the Northeast, seemed at a loss in the face of monsters' cluster assault tactics, undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for other forces. There is no doubt that driven by the strange creatures with incredible abilities, the actual combat power of monsters who had little brains has doubled. Whoever insisted on using the old eyes of the past to figure out their behavior can only be explained as if they were determined to die.
Anyone can see that the situation is not good. How could a cunning figure like Meng Shenji not understand? After forcing him to survive this round of monster attacks, he immediately placed a new order in Peach Blossom Land. To be precise, Meng Shenji has switched to Wu Han to ask for help from him.
Despite this, Meng Shenji's request was far beyond the actual production capacity of Peach Blossom Spring. Wu Han could not agree to him easily, so he could only explain patiently:
"Large-caliber fortress cannon? Brother Meng, don't say that I don't have any goods on my hands, even if I have them, I can't transport them now! You think that the game is a bundle of straw, and you can just carry it away if you come and take it away!"
Experience has been gradually explored, and war practice has proved that guided weapons like missiles do not work very well against monsters. The reason is very simple. The warhead of light missiles is limited in charge. High-explosive warheads that could have killed a squad of human soldiers. It can only cause a little skin trauma when it falls on those thick-skinned monsters. It is a bit unprofitable for those powerful heavy missiles to attack close-range targets. In addition, the lack of an effective targeting system makes it a fool of yourself to hit targets quickly in a long range.
Since missiles are not easy to use, we naturally have to settle for the second best. In fact, this is true. Technically outdated cannons are more economical and affordable. This is the lesson that survivors have exchanged for their blood and the cost of their lives.
After surviving the crisis of his life on the line, Meng Shenji summoned people to discuss and made a careful decision to set the purchase order. The urgent need for heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 220 mm. Although this thing is extremely bulky, the field maneuverability is almost zero, and can only be used as a fortress defense, or in turn attacking a solid fortress. Otherwise, it will be used as a train gun on the train, but it is necessary to curb the charge of the herbivorous monsters with a weight of 100 tons or less and ten or eight tons. At present, it seems that only such large-caliber artillery has sufficient lethality.
Meng Shenji knew this truth. Are others fools? Wu Han's similar orders have been scheduled for next year. The reason why the output is difficult to meet customer needs and the problem of being attacked by monsters and blocking the path of ore transportation is that the fortress cannon itself is much more complex than that of ordinary cannons.
At this time, Wu Han's tone of gritting teeth made Meng Shenji feel a different feeling. He immediately changed his tone and said:
"Oh! I'll tell you, there are not a few decent cannons that hold on to the scene, and something big is going to happen. In any case, you have to help this!"
Hearing this, he knew that Meng Shenji was exaggerating, but it might not be true. Wu Han hesitated, and it seemed that he would not be able to do it! The Duchy of Changchun to the west was a windproof wall of the people of Taohuayuan in the conflict between monsters. If Meng Shenji fell, Wu Han would have to prepare to go into battle and defend Xin'an Town. Now he was watching the show next to him, ignoring Meng Shenji's request for help. One day, he might have to come out to sing about this man and beast in person. This matter would be more than worth the cost.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wu Han said calmly:
"...so! I have two 203mm caliber cannons here, which are originally intended to be installed on the train. Since you are urgent, I will send a car to transport it with 200 shells. How about it?"
Hearing the sound, Meng Shenji, who had no expectations, laughed happily and immediately replied:
"Okay, the faster the better. Are there still some inventory of rocket launchers and anti-tank mines? Please get some of them as well. Let's settle the accounts of these weapons together in the future."
Settlement? Wu Han grinned and shook his head and smiled bitterly. Monsters appeared in the wilderness and attacked human settlements everywhere. Although there had not been any news of being attacked by monsters in the neighboring provinces in the south of the Duchy of Changchun, the road to Huanglong Mansion, the capital of the Principality, has clearly become a paradise for monsters to appear. Who dares to take such a big risk and walk on the road? The ore in the south cannot be transported. Wu Han really can't raise any interest in the so-called settlement of Meng Shenji. The weapons provided by the current weapons are considered as relief and disaster relief.
Anti-tank mines are a powerful weapon for humans to deal with monster attacks. Comprehensively measuring cost-effectiveness, mines are undoubtedly the most affordable and affordable killer.
