Chapter 254： Nothing at all

On a branch line of the westward railway, countless engineers are building several new circular railways. These railways are specially constructed and look like a strange cross-shaped fork road.

Not far from the busy places of these engineers, a giant artillery with a barrel of more than 21 meters is slowly raising its barrel. This Ailan Hill Army’s largest-caliber train cannon opened. The canvas reveals his true face.

The power of this cannon is terrible, but it's a bit untimely. The Army already has SCUD ballistic missiles, and the K5 train gun here has just been put into war.

Originally, the Army didn’t even have many large-caliber howitzers at the time of manufacturing this artillery, but now looking back, I find that no matter it is the 155mm howitzer group or the larger 203mm group army’s heavy artillery, they are all already. There are too many.

What's more sad is that this 283mm caliber heavy artillery has had to compete with advanced weapons such as the b-52 bomber and advanced Fritz-X bombs for a chance to play.

Fortunately, the demand for reinforcements for front-line artillery is getting higher and higher. This kind of k5 train gun, which has been produced and has fallen behind before it can be put into actual combat, is finally drawn to the front-line artillery in the spirit of not to waste. On the ground.

Generally speaking, this huge train gun is loaded with full weight by two action mechanisms at the front and rear of the body. It has 6 axles at the front and rear, and each axle has a load of 18 tons. A train cannon is composed of a series of carriages, including locomotives, passenger carriages, supply carriages, and ammunition carriages.

Just the combat weight of this heavy artillery is a terrifying 218 tons. It can easily and accurately deliver shells to places 40 kilometers away, causing terrible damage there.

What's more frightening is that its firing speed is not much slower than the firing speed of a 203mm heavy gun. It can fire 8 rounds within an hour, and its performance is absolutely reassuringly excellent.

Today, right here, the 1st Army received a total of 10 k5 railroad guns, and now 7 artillery guns have built their bombardment positions, raising their shocking barrels.

"Here are the shelling parameters... the coordinates provided by the ground forces." An officer handed the report in his hand to his comrades around him, and said softly, "Let's fire one door one by one. Salvos are not necessary."

There is indeed no such need. The targets that need such heavy artillery to be removed are not gathered together, and in terms of the power of the artillery shells, this artillery does not have to consider covering such things.

With just one shell, it can destroy fairly strong fortifications and uproot all nearby targets.

This is the power of the train cannon, this is the terrible power of this outdated and backward weapon. Of course, after a while, after Ailan Hill has developed his own precision-guided weapons, this heavy train gun weapon can be recovered in the Ailan Hill Military Museum for retirement with peace of mind.

"The first coordinate is confirmed! The shells have been loaded...you can fire at any time." In the artillery headquarters, a non-commissioned officer put down the telephone receiver in his hand and shouted to the officer who had just spoken.

"Let them open fire!" The officer squinted his eyes and ordered softly.

"Boom!" A shot that shook the ground, the huge shell was pushed out of the muzzle under pressure and flew towards the distant target.

Because the distance is too far, the target being attacked does not yet know, it is about to disappear in this world.

It was a barricade filled with puppet remains and reinforced with concrete. Puppet soldiers are stationed here, and they are also equipped with a very rare Maxim machine gun.

These puppets are stationed here, always threatening the safety of the Kaunia Railway Station, and the location of this barricade was already when the rainy season was approaching when it was discovered.

The B-17 bomber is not good at taking off and bombing on rainy days, so even the Fritz-X bomb can't be used. The b-52 bomber carried the super hound to attack this target with no guarantee of accuracy, so the final task of attack fell on the k5 train gun.

It can be regarded as making the best use of it. After all, on rainy days, the air force's reinforcements are not so timely and effective. With the addition of these large-caliber heavy artillery, the army's courage will be stronger.

The shells roared and flew in the sky, drew a beautiful arc, and began to fall from the highest point with their own inertia and weight. With the sound of breaking the wind, this shell finally hit the barricade target that had been exposed long ago at the end of its life.

Inside the barricade, a magician from the Holy Demon Empire is still bragging with his companions triumphantly: "Don't worry, this barricade is very strong, plus our magical defense barrier, the 203 mm artillery, can also take us There is no way!"

His companion looked at a few soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire wearing armor and a large number of puppet soldiers, and thought that their place was very safe.

As a result, their tragedy began in the next second. A huge steel-made cannonball smashed the magical defense barrier, then pierced the cement slab above their heads, pierced a layer of thin steel plate that was deliberately reinforced, and finally inserted in front of everyone.

The delay fuze started to work in the next second. In everyone’s wide-eyed eyes, the shell expanded and shattered, and the explosive inside burned and burst, and finally everything in the barricade, including the canopy of the barricade, was covered. Flew into the air together.

In the ruins on the opposite side, the grenadiers of Ailan Hill felt that the ground below their bodies was trembling. They curiously watched the barricade explode, and the thick reinforced concrete roof flew into the air like that. crack.

Everything trembled fiercely following the explosion, and then the loud sound made everyone's ears hum. Everyone didn't know what happened for a while, and some even thought that a small atomic bomb exploded in front of them.

Of course, this is an exaggeration. A shell of about 250 kilograms is not much more powerful than an aerial bomb of the same quality. But the shock was real, after all, the barricade bunker exploded, and the scene was really spectacular.

Over there, the sound of the huge explosion had not yet fallen, and further away, another building where countless puppets were stationed was razed to the ground in the explosion. Although the cannonball landed on the left side of the building as a whole, it still relied on immense power to destroy this already not very strong building.

Immediately afterwards, the third explosion sounded, and huge black smoke rose into the air. In the urban area of ​​Kaunia, all the soldiers of the Holy Demon Empire shuddered in this explosion.

"Didn't they have no bomber support? Isn't it raining on a cloudy day?" A soldier holding his weapon, almost collapsed and asked his comrades around him. They finally got through the rain, only to find that Ailan Hill's attack was still sharp.

"Kauna can't keep it." An veteran murmured as he looked at the exploding block in front of him. The rain hit him on the armor of the Holy Demon Empire, making clanking noises.

...

The chief consul walked in the ruins with an ugly expression. He pressed the long sword around his waist and followed the man in black from the puppet empire. In front of him, is the once glorious Bellevue, and now, the glory here has turned into a cloud of smoke.

The once tall magic towers, those carved beams and painted buildings, are now gone. There are collapsing rubble and gravel everywhere, and there are palpitating apocalyptic scenes everywhere.

Walking by the Grand Archon was a general in charge of Bellevue's rescue work. His expression was gloomy. While leading the Grand Archon to move forward, he introduced: "The power of this kind of bomb, called a nuclear weapon, is very terrifying. Almost all buildings were destroyed in an instant."

"We were looking for corpses in the ruins, but with little success. There was nothing left in the center of the explosion...not just the corpses, but even the buildings." The general stepped over a piece of gravel, in his voice. With immense sadness.

No one from the Holy Demon Empire will not be sad to see Bellevue today. This used to be the pride of the Holy Demon Empire, but now it has been completely erased from the map.

Although Ailan Hill did not use nuclear weapons again, this fear that hung in everyone's hearts could not be easily healed.

"The number of casualties hasn't been counted yet?" The chief consul in a row waiting to be processed, stopped next to the corpses that had deteriorated due to the weather, covered his nose with his hands, and asked.

"We have no way to count. Some of the dead didn't even have a corpse, including a dozen high-level magicians sent by the Puppet Empire to reinforce...none of the corpses were found." The general answered.

"And... the number of casualties is still increasing." After swallowing a spit, the general continued to speak.

The Grand Archon frowned and looked at the other person: "What do you mean?"

"These days are okay, but there have been too many evil things happening before. Many soldiers who participated in the disaster relief fell ill. They were ulcerated as if they were infected with the plague, then they bleed internally, and finally died quickly..." The famous general looked at the corpse lying under his feet and replied.

He raised his head, looked at the pale-faced Grand Archon, and continued to explain: "However, this phenomenon has disappeared recently, and the soldiers who enter Bellevue will not have any bad symptoms. "

Hearing what the other party said, the grand consul's expression recovered a little. However, he turned around and walked out, and as he walked, he ordered: "Do a good job of tidying up as soon as possible, if possible...reconstruction work can also start as soon as possible."

"Your Excellency the Grand Archon... we don't have any supplies to rebuild here." The general quickly followed, glanced at the man in black who was behind the Grand Archon, and said anxiously: "All the materials have been sent to the front. , We have nothing..."
