Chapter 523: Artillery Fire Plowing the Land

Even though some soldiers who were frightened by Shen Bei before did not follow the main force, some non-commissioned officers tried their best to boost morale and beat those soldiers who looked timid with their rifle butts.

They were almost going crazy. Being attacked from both sides, if Shen Bei escaped, it would be a lifelong shame for them.

But the fact is, one soldier after another was hit by bullets and blood splattered everywhere, falling wailing on the way of charge. Those hit by sniper rifles were particularly badly injured, and it was almost impossible to find a complete piece of debris.

Soon, the nearest soldier was only fifty meters away from Shen Bei. But these last fifty meters were like a natural barrier, blocking the soldiers from advancing. Anyone who showed their head would be shot.

……

Shen Bei took a breath.

The fighting spirit of this group of soldiers far exceeds that of the soldiers on the defense line.

Even though they had designated a death zone, they still charged forward regardless.

Excellent fighting spirit.

It depends on who can survive.

Shen Bei touched the intercom and looked out at the brief and silent darkness.

It was as if a pair of eyes were staring at him.

"Calling for artillery fire, bearing two kilometers, left 100, right 80, gradually 500, push 450."

Shen Bei spoke softly into the intercom.

There was no response on the intercom.

A moment's work.

A series of dark red dots appeared in the pitch-black sky, seemingly slow but actually extremely fast. They were the 155mm caliber grenades fired by Wang Deli's team, led by Blue Rose.

Blue Rose is too familiar with artillery fire.

I can’t say I’m a professional match, but I’m definitely not a layman.

The first time I led Shen Bei in and out of the wilderness ruins to carry out a mission, I asked Shen Bei to sneak into the ruined city, provide coordinates, and plow the land with artillery fire before bringing people in to kill.

"boom!"

Five hundred meters away, the shells fell, blowing up all the enemies hiding there.

Despite the distance, one could feel the ground shaking. Amidst a dazzling flash, flames and mud rushed into the sky, carrying human body fragments with them.

"What's going on? Why are there cannonballs shooting out from the Titan's tail?"

"Damn it! Are the people on the second line of defense crazy? They're just blowing themselves up?"

"Damn! These coordinates are too—ah!"

"Who! Who called for the artillery fire? Are you an idiot?"

"I heard that the second line of defense has lost contact. It doesn't seem like we fired the shells ourselves."

"Is he from Shen Bei?"

"Hasn't the rebel army been nearly wiped out? Where are the remaining people?"

"What's the point of saying that! Get out of the way! Get out of the way—ah!"

……

There was a barrage of artillery fire.

This 55mm grenade, when equipped with a time-delay fuze, can penetrate up to 1.82 meters of limestone or sandstone, 2.275 meters of cobblestone, 4.095 meters of hardened sand, 8.19 meters of loose sand, 6.37 meters of compacted clay, 5.46 meters of compacted soil, 9.1 meters of loose clay, and 11.83 meters of loose soil. The fragments have a range of 50 meters, roughly the size of a standard football field.

Blue Rose and others picked up six self-propelled artillery pieces.

It is also equipped with a self-propelled artillery with an advanced loading system, with a maximum firing rate of nine rounds per second.

Every few seconds, you can see a light spot flying from the sky behind Titan, like a giant's iron fist, bombarding the earth.

It was not until five minutes later that the continuous bombardment slowly stopped.

The smoke and dust cleared, and Shen Bei put on his visual mask and turned on his night vision goggles.

In the field of vision, the surrounding area seemed to have turned into the surface of the moon, with a layer of the ground directly scraped off and covered with dense craters.

This is why humans piled up very thick rocks and sand in order to build houses on the back of Titan, otherwise the crater would fall on the Titan.

The highest number of casualties occurred in the first round of bombardment, and the number of casualties subsequently decreased. Experienced soldiers knew how to survive bombardments, although it did require a bit of luck.

Shen Bei jumped out of the dark alley.

Patrolling the battlefield with a gun.

Suddenly, a tracer bullet drew a chain of light in the air, and the whistling sound of the bullet was terrifying.

The bullets were blocked by the armor, making a clanging sound.

The deflected bullets flew into the sky like fireflies.

"For the General!"

After seeing Shen Bei, the remaining soldiers launched a charge under the cover of machine guns.

These surviving soldiers were obviously well-trained. They did not huddle together and were mowed down by the oncoming Shen Bei firepower like wheat being cut.

Instead, they formed groups of three or four, spread out widely, covered each other, and ran towards Shen Bei.

When one group of them charged, another group would crawl on the ground and cover themselves with their weapons.

The whistling sound of the rockets flew towards Shen Bei with almost no interval.

Shen Bei had to re-enter the guerrilla state.

"I've really been brainwashed..." Shen Bei sighed.

The charging enemies kept falling under Shen Bei's bullets, but they were not afraid at all. Instead, they became even more crazy. After losing 60% of their forces, they finally shortened the distance to 200 meters.

Shen Bei half-knelt on the ground, with the butt of the gun against his cheek, aiming at the soldiers rushing towards him.

These people were covered in gunpowder-stained robes, with faded old-fashioned training uniforms underneath, and tactical vests stuffed with magazines.

Some enemies were killed by whistling bullets just as they raised their rocket launchers to fire.

Shen Bei actually set his eyes on a thin soldier. This man looked very ordinary on the surface. From head to toe, he was no different from other soldiers.

But Shen Bei saw his abnormality at a glance.

His observation skills far surpassed those of others, allowing him to easily discern the direction the bullets were coming from. Furthermore, he wasn't being specifically targeted, so even after being struck directly by the artillery shells, he remained unscathed.

Shen Bei easily put his figure into the sight and pulled the trigger.

The tracer bullet was inconspicuous in the whistling rain of bullets. The soldier became alert at the first moment and fell to the ground.

He looked puzzled. As a sixth-level psychic, he possessed perception abilities far superior to those of ordinary people. But even so, he sensed the bullet coming at the last moment.

He suspected he was being targeted.

While secretly hating Shen Bei, he tightly gripped the scimitar on his back, waiting to close enough distance so that he could suddenly attack and remove Shen Bei's mask to see how he could still defend against the bullets.

The next moment, he felt a sense of extreme danger. He looked up and saw Shen Bei appearing 80 meters in front of him and flying past him at the moment he jumped to avoid other people's bullets.

Shen Bei's revolver was slowly jumping and aiming at him.

This frightened him so much that he didn't bother to hide his position and jumped up, trying to break free from the lock.

He had seen the power of that revolver before. It was like a cannon!

"boom!"

He had been locked onto by Shen Bei at close range, and even though he was wearing a bulletproof vest and had hard bone armor under his skin, he was still shattered into pieces by the shot.

a moment later

The strong smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of blood is the smell of war.

The enemy's corpses were scattered on the ground, and very few of them were intact. Their stomachs were ripped open, their limbs were broken, and their slippery internal organs were scattered all over the ground.
