Chapter 1021： Cluster bomb

In the Demon World, the Burkland Fortress of the Ailan Hill Empire, a 105mm caliber howitzer suddenly retreated, ejecting a shiny metal shell.

Accompanied by the clanging of metal collisions, the breech block of this 105mm gun opened automatically, exposing the barrel inside.

The loader, who had already waited aside with the cannonball, was almost using his own muscle memory to accurately push the cannonball in his hand into the barrel.

The gunner waiting on the side closed the breech block without any problems, and then the shooter pulled the gun cord, which incited the firing pin inside the artillery.

"Boom!" Another shell was shot, and under the blessing of the rifling, it spun out of the muzzle. Then it had to leap over a distance of 10 kilometers, land on the outskirts of Witholens, hit the ground and exploded.

Who would have thought that the Airanhill Army, which was still worried about not having enough missiles before, has now begun to use medium-caliber howitzers to greet the origin of magic?

The front position of the Allan Hill Empire was only a short distance of less than seven kilometers from the outskirts of Whithalans.

And the various caliber field guns of the Ailan Hill Empire can already cover Withalans!

Old-fashioned large-caliber artillery has a range of more than 20 kilometers, and some even have a range of more than 30 kilometers. They can completely cover Witholland and can stably attack targets near the city center.

The new self-propelled howitzers have a range of more than 30 kilometers. These 155mm caliber howitzers can easily hit the center of the city where the enemy least wants to be beaten.

Originally, in order to attack the demon's capital, the Ailan Hill Empire assembled its elite troops to create a protrusion for the artillery to use.

But now, the two wings of the Ailan Hill Empire troops have also penetrated the demon's defensive line. They filled up the line of defense, and even turned Withalans into a prominent part of the demon's line of defense.

In other words, Witthallans is now a frontline city, and one-third of its front has been exposed to the threat of direct attacks from the Airanhill Empire.

Every day, countless cannonballs fall to the suburbs and urban areas of this city. The entire city is now full of plumes of smoke, and the picture looks like the end of the world.

Ailan Hill's shelling didn't mean to stop at all. Anyway, for an empire, the number of shells bombarding a city would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

What's more, Mideas, the commander-in-chief of the Ailan Hill Empire, who was shelling, was near Burklan, preparing a gift for the source of magic.

"Ready! General!" An officer walked in front of General Midas, stood up and saluted, and reported: "All designated troops are ready for battle!"

"Let's start!" Medias looked at the map, didn't even bother to lift his head, and ordered: "Let the troops use more cluster bombs and less use of penetrating warheads..."

Medias still had some scruples. After all, the order he received was to ensure that the source of magic could be captured alive as much as possible, or at least to preserve some technical documents of the devil.

This is actually a very difficult thing, because the devil is desperately resisting, if you don't use large-caliber artillery to attack the opponent, it is difficult to guarantee effective damage.

But Chris let Medeas direct the battle, not for him to complain. So even if Medias can only dance on the tip of a knife and use the weapon in his hand cautiously, he can only execute the plan honestly.

The use of cluster bombs is one of the reasons of last resort: If you use ground penetrating bombs, it may damage some underground structures.

If any important facility is really destroyed at that time, it will not be worth the loss-using cover attacks instead of focused deep strikes to destroy the enemy's will to resist. This is the purpose of cluster bombs.

The officer stood at attention and saluted, then turned and walked out. A few seconds later, the 20 rocket launchers stationed near the Burkland Fortress removed the canvas from the launch vehicle and began to erect the rocket launcher.

Hundreds of multiple rocket launchers. A salvo is really spectacular to the extreme. What's more, these rocket launchers are all new large-caliber models, and those old models have already begun to be returned to the factory for dismantling and decommissioning.

A few seconds later, the erected rocket launcher started to spray white smoke trails in the direction of Withalens, and the smoke from the tail flame of the rocket instantly flooded the entire rocket launcher position.

Because there are too many positions, the entire Burklan seems to be wrapped in a thick fog.

It was as if a smoke bomb was being fired, so that the smoke and dust that covered the sky allowed all nearby troops to see a scene of a fairyland on earth.

A huge mobile fortress full of cannon barrels, just like this, if there is nothing "floating" in a cloud of mist, it looks as beautiful as a fairy tale.

It's just that this beauty, in real life, hides blood and killing. Those giant cannon barrels hidden in the smoke and dust, no matter which one is a powerful life harvesting machine!

Hundreds of rockets were scattered in the sky, and cluster bombs hung together like grapes in a single body were torn apart with the airflow.

According to inertia, these cluster bombs eventually landed on the west side of the city of Witthalans. Let the explosion submerged there in an instant.

A poor demon was lying on the ground, pressing the long sword in his hand and watching a ruined position occupied by friendly troops in the distance was submerged in an explosion.

Before he had time to cry for the dead comrades in arms, he discovered that the explosion that had swallowed the ruins, as if it had life, spread quickly towards where he was.

With his eyes widened, he didn't care about grief, so he hurried to where he was hiding. But before he curled up, the explosion that seemed to possess life had already covered the place where he was.

The landslides were deafening, the whole earth shook in the explosion, and the entire ruins collapsed in the explosion.

In just a few seconds, the western part of the devil's capital of Witholens was cleaned by thousands of cluster bombs.

When the continuous explosion of the trembling mountain stopped, the surviving demon soldiers struggled to stand up from the rubble and found that there were almost no standing buildings in this city.

There was no shouting, no crying, because these hapless survivors could no longer hear any sound.

There was a buzzing sound in their ears, and they could only stand in the smog covered with mud and dust, as if they had lost their souls, standing in a rubble, corpses and black blood, alone. Of standing.
