Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 840: Sinking in the Gunfire

On the plains outside the city, the various troops worked closely together like precision mechanical parts to form an unprecedented group of artillery positions.

As the battle progressed, the command system operated efficiently, and orders were transmitted accurately to every combat unit via radio waves and wired communication networks, crossing distances of several kilometers in an instant.

"Artillery Cluster Headquarters, this is the 105th Heavy Artillery Brigade. All artillery positions have been calibrated and ammunition is sufficient. Please request to begin fire preparation." The commanders from each brigade spoke in firm voices, reporting the situation to the headquarters through the encrypted communication channel.

Inside the headquarters, a large tactical map was spread out on the table, and commanders held batons, constantly marking the latest battle situations and instructions.

"Approve the request of the 105th Heavy Artillery Brigade. At the same time, notify the 117th and 108th Heavy Artillery Brigades and all heavy artillery regiments to prepare to implement synchronized fire coverage. Make sure that the artillery coverage area is seamlessly connected to form a saturation strike." Chen Tong's voice was steady and powerful, and every word revealed unquestionable authority.

He quickly examined the tactical map, running his finger across it as if he was directing an invisible battle.

As the commander-in-chief issued the order, troops at all levels responded quickly and began to implement more complex coordinated combat plans. After receiving the order, the battalion commander immediately issued specific combat instructions to the company through the internal communication system, including key parameters such as shooting angle, shooting rhythm and firepower density.

The company then breaks down these instructions into each artillery position, and the gunners adjust the muzzles, load shells, and make final preparations before firing according to the instructions.

"Second Company, pay attention to changes in wind direction and adjust the firing parameters by 0.5 mil!" The company commander issued fine-tuning instructions to the artillery positions via radio to ensure that the artillery fire could accurately hit the target.

The gunners responded quickly, and with a slight turn of the knob in their hands, the muzzle of the gun pointed accurately at the designated shooting area.

"Open fire! I want to reduce the entire Gaoyun County to ruins in the artillery fire!"

Chen Tong's orders spread to every corner at the speed of light through the encrypted communication network, and an unstoppable will to fight surged in the hearts of every artilleryman.

Following this order, the entire artillery position group seemed to be driven by an invisible force, and four thousand 75MM mountain cannons roared first.

Although their caliber was not large, their numbers were large, and the dense artillery fire was like a torrential rain, weaving the sky of Gaoyun County into a dense firepower network.

The shells whizzed out, cut through the sky, and headed straight for the target with the breath of death.

Soon after, nearly 105 mm howitzers also joined in the destructive feast. These artillery pieces were known for their powerful explosive power and long-range strike capabilities, and each shell hit the city walls and enemy positions like a heavy hammer.

They drew graceful arcs in the air, then exploded with a bang, releasing huge energy and razing the target area to the ground. Smoke and dust rose up, flames shot up into the sky, and the entire Gaoyun County trembled under the baptism of artillery fire.

However, this was just the beginning. The most shocking moment came when hundreds of 208-caliber Thor's Hammer heavy artillery and hundreds of 150MM howitzers fired at the same time.

These huge cannons stood like giant beasts in the artillery positions. Each shell weighed several tons and was incredibly powerful. When they roared collectively, the entire sky seemed to be torn apart. The shells fell towards Gaoyun County like a meteor shower, piercing through the clouds with destructive force and hitting the target directly.

At that moment, the entire battlefield was illuminated by the light of artillery fire. Every roar was like the roar of the gods, shaking everyone's heart.

The shells exploded on the city wall, and the huge shock wave threw bricks, soil, and flesh into the air, and then slammed heavily back to the ground. The city wall was crumbling under the bombardment of artillery fire, and some places were even directly blown down, revealing the terrified enemy soldiers in the city.

Gaoyun County was in chaos and despair. Artillery fire covered every corner, and neither the sturdy fortifications nor the streets escaped the fate of being destroyed.

The Fuso soldiers fled in all directions amid the gunfire, but no matter where they fled, they could not escape the pursuit of the god of death. The streets were stained with blood, wailing was heard one after another, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in a shadow of death.

However, for Chen Tong, this was exactly what he wanted to see. They used artillery fire to show the enemy their determination and strength, making the enemy feel unprecedented fear and despair.

In this unprecedented feast of artillery fire, they were not only destroying a city, but also destroying the enemy's will and confidence.

This may be the largest-scale artillery bombardment in human warfare history. An unprecedented artillery feast raged over Gaoyun County, vividly demonstrating the cruelty and destructiveness of war.

The sky seemed to be torn apart, and countless artillery shells, like angry meteors, streaked across the sky, carrying destructive power and mercilessly smashing into this ancient and fragile city.

Every roar was accompanied by an earthquake, and the entire Gaoyun County seemed to be in the midst of a doomsday catastrophe.

The moment the shells fell, the air was torn apart, and the shock wave spread at an alarming speed, dragging everything around into a vortex of destruction. Houses, shops, government offices, temples... these buildings, under the ravages of artillery fire, were as fragile as paper and collapsed one after another, turning into ruins.

Dust and smoke intertwined together, covering the sky and making it difficult to distinguish between day and night.

The flames jumped in the ruins, illuminating this land of death and reflecting the fear and despair on people's faces. The Fuso troops in the city had almost no effective counterattack under this sudden artillery attack.

They were completely overwhelmed by the artillery fire and could only struggle and shout in despair, but they could not escape the fate of being destroyed.

On the streets and among the ruins, one could occasionally see bloody corpses or dying wounded soldiers.

Their eyes were filled with desire for life and fear of death, but under the relentless bombardment, everything seemed so small and powerless. The entire city turned into a hell on earth, with wailing, crying, and explosions intertwined to form a tragic symphony of death.

However, for Chen Tong, this feast of artillery fire was a prelude to victory. Through this unprecedented bombardment, they not only destroyed the enemy's fortifications and manpower, but also dealt a heavy psychological blow to the enemy.

After three consecutive rounds of artillery fire, Gaoyun County was completely engulfed by the raging waves of artillery fire. Each round of bombardment was like an outpouring of natural power's fury, pushing the city from prosperity into the abyss of destruction.

At this moment in Gaoyun County, the sky is still shrouded in thick smoke. The sunlight struggles to penetrate this gray barrier, casting mottled light and shadows.

However, this weak light can no longer illuminate the vitality of the city, but only reflects the devastation and desolation.
