Chapter 629 Bombing
With a command from Lieutenant Colonel Macaron, the battle could begin at any moment, but as mentioned before, it was a steady and cautious approach.
Therefore, at the beginning of this war, he did not order his soldiers to rush forward, but instead carried out a few good men from the ranks.
Gulu~Gulu~
As the candy-shaped wheels spun, two or three soldiers pushed out of the army formation one after another ordinary-looking cars.
The vehicle consists of two wheels and a long tube. Judging from its design, it does not have a place to carry goods or passengers, meaning it is not a vehicle for transportation.
Rather, it's a weapon of attack!!!
Two or three soldiers were operating each vehicle. Since the battle had begun, they did not dare to slack off and quickly loaded the vehicle with ammunition.
It was clear that the vehicle was something like a candy rifle, and after the bullets were loaded, the soldiers quickly maneuvered the vehicle to aim at the enemy position.
"Aim at the target, fire!!!"
boom! ! ! ! !
With a loud bang, a huge, round candy flew out of the long tube of the cart and flew towards the insect demons' position at an extremely fast speed.
As the round candy grew larger before their eyes, the insect demons felt a sense of foreboding.
not good! !
Bang! Boom!
The moment the shell hit the wall, the impact instantly created a huge crater in the wall, and it exploded a second later.
boom! ! !
With a loud bang, the seemingly sturdy side wall was instantly destroyed by the explosion of the round candy. Although the insect demons reacted in time and retreated in advance, they were still shocked by the power.
This is........
Candy Cannon!!!
This mortar-like device was also manufactured by Wang Guozhong's candy factory. Due to its destructive power and its extremely strong ability to destroy enemy positions, it was highly sought after by many officers in the Wang Guozhong army when it was introduced.
After using it, Lieutenant Colonel Macaron deeply understood the terror of this weapon. It not only had a longer range than a rifle, but also greater lethality and attack range.
Aside from being difficult to carry, having a slow attack speed, and low accuracy, it has virtually no major drawbacks.
Lieutenant Colonel Macaron often used this weapon when hunting tooth worms. Faced with the thick-skinned tooth worms, conventional rifle bullets were difficult to inflict effective damage.
However, when the shells hit him, they could make him scream, and the generally huge size and slow movement of the Tooth Worm effectively masked the mobility and accuracy of the Candy Cannon.
Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Macaron was also very fond of this weapon. Although it was the first time he had used it in a battle between two armies, he was already very satisfied with the initial results.
"Continue the attack!!!"
Seeing the side wall destroyed by the cannons through his binoculars, Lieutenant Colonel Macaron was extremely pleased, so he did not hesitate to give the order to fire again.
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
With Lieutenant Colonel Macaron's order, shells flew from the cannon barrels and slammed into the insectoids' positions.
For a time, the insect demons' position was also under heavy fire. The explosion of a large number of shells not only destroyed the side walls, but also caused the ground to tremble slightly.
Damn...
Seeing this, the previously calm Captain Insect's face instantly darkened. This move by the enemy was indeed beyond his expectations; he hadn't anticipated such a powerful weapon. It seemed he had underestimated these mortals...
"Sir, the enemy's firepower is too intense. Requesting a retreat!"
At that moment, the voices of several little demons sounded beside him.
These guys put pots and pans from several biscuit houses on their heads as helmets, and crawled on the battlefield to avoid shelling. Although the scene looked serious, it was also somewhat comical.
Why do they seem like puppet troops?
Captain Insect shook his head, withdrawing his thoughts, and at the same time gave the others the order to withdraw from the position.
With the enemy possessing such formidable long-range strike capabilities, there's no point in them fighting to the death on the front lines; it's disadvantageous and meaningless for them.
Although they did have a few ranged units, such as dragonfly spirits, their numbers were too small to form a significant force, let alone suppress the enemy with firepower.
Therefore, it would be more advantageous for them to drag the positional warfare into the street fighting in the town.
The insect captain quickly understood this, and therefore his retreat was swift and decisive.
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
"stop!"
After dozens more shelling rounds, Lieutenant Colonel Macaron suddenly raised his hand and waved, signaling his men to stop.
After the recent barrage of artillery fire, the town's outer walls had been completely destroyed, leaving it with virtually no defensive capabilities. Lieutenant Colonel Macaron had already observed the enemy's retreat through his binoculars.
Therefore, continuing the bombing would only increase resource consumption and would have no practical significance.
At this point, they had to push forward. If he wasn't mistaken, the monsters on the other side probably wanted them to enter the town and then use the complex terrain to defeat them one by one.
This decision was not wrong in principle, since he already knew from previous intelligence that the insect demons' close combat ability was far superior to their biscuit soldiers.
If they really went into close combat, they might not necessarily have the upper hand.
But they couldn't just stay away, since they were the attackers, and their mission was to retake the town.
Therefore, the insect demons' decision can be described as quite ingenious, a clever and calculated move.
Lieutenant Colonel Macaron felt he had benefited greatly from his previous experience of either fighting foolish toothworms or practicing acting with other officers.
However, this was the first time he had faced the enemy so formally, so he learned a lot and gained some experience in this battle, which was very important for an officer.
So in a way, he should thank the other party!
Unfortunately, he wouldn't show mercy to the enemy because of this, since this was still a formal battle.
"Let them play!"
At Lieutenant Colonel Maka's command, dozens of burly figures emerged from the military formation.
Faced with the enemy's obvious scheme, he certainly wouldn't blindly rush forward. An ordinary biscuit squad might not have the ability to deal with this scheme, but he was different.
He commands an entire army, so naturally he has far more resources and methods at his disposal...
