Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 206 - 80 Long-Distance Bombardment

After determining the battle plan, the 8-person squad split into two, each executing different combat missions.

Chen Jian led Xie Liu, Zeng Yi, and Ji Xing, three Holy Blood mbers, forward to supplent drone vision and undertake artillery reconnaissance tasks. They moved close to the predetermined combat location, ready to quickly capture the position post-monster elimination, establish a fire point, and await support from the second team.

anwhile, Lei Jie, Shen Yue, and He Shuo, along with Li Shi, were in charge of the rear artillery position, preparing to organize remote indirect firing operations.

As Chen Jian’s team set off, Lei Jie imdiately began deploying the position with those who stayed behind.

With the assistance of the moped, they successfully deployed the 152 howitzer on the high ground outside the 095 fortification.

Following the drone’s guidance, Lei Jie roughly confird the baseline aiming direction using the matching aiming periscope, while Li Shi dismantled the marching fixator and inserted the emplacent stakes into the ground under Shen Yue and He Shuo’s guidance.

He Shuo then operated the hydraulic emplacent fixing system to stabilize the artillery on the pre-selected solid ground, completing the simple pre-battle preparations.

Chen Jian’s four-person team continued advancing, and based on the distance and direction data relayed from the drone, He Shuo quickly calculated the approximate target paraters.

"Azimuth 074-30, elevation 15 mils, distance 15,020 plus or minus 50 ters."

"Received, azimuth 074-30, elevation 15 mils, distance 15,020 plus or minus 50 ters."

Lei Jie quickly responded, simultaneously turning the direction and elevation coarse adjustnt chanisms, aligning the panoramic sight’s crosshair with the reference point, then inputting the paraters using the ballistic calculator built into the War Skull system on the Nezha cha.

"Temperature minus 1 degree Celsius, charge temperature compensation 1.4%, northwest wind level 3, crosswind correction minus 0.2 mils."

"Altitude 142, atmospheric density correction factor 1.02."

While reporting the information, Lei Jie swiftly adjusted the fine-tuning chanism to implent the aiming paraters.

This was originally the work of two different roles, but now, with the help of a highly intelligent system, he could handle it all alone.

"Ammunition preparation!"

"Li Shi, move the shells and propellant charges over!"

"Do not load for now, wait for the next command!"

"Understood!"

Li Shi preloaded the shells and propellant packs onto the automatic loader, while Shen Yue completed the loading for the 105-caliber Electromagnetic Cannon, adjusting it to the pre-charge state.

"We’re ready on our side!"

Lei Jie reported to Chen Jian:

"Target location locked, currently adjusting in real ti according to drone guidance images."

"Fire at will, awaiting your command!"

"Received!"

Chen Jian replied steadily, then continued:

"I am 8 kiloters from the target location, at the current speed, I should reach the disembarking point in 5 minutes."

"Close to within 5 kiloters in 5 minutes, then begin shelling!"

"Understood!"

Lei Jie stared intently at the drone footage, constantly recalculating and updating paraters, imdiately reflecting these on the artillery he was operating.

He knew that the shells he fired would largely determine the squad’s subsequent action plan, and might even decide their future in this wasteland world.

This is a critical mont.

Absolutely crucial!

If they could peel off enough of the accumulated armored layer on the monsters’ surfaces with a rapid salvo, Shen Yue might be able to end the battle with a single shot from the highly accurate Electromagnetic Cannon.

This would give them ample ti to rendezvous with Chen Jian’s four-man team and establish a more solid defense before the chanical God Sect reaches the predetermined attack location and deploys their formation.

Ti lag.

It’s their biggest asset.

And whether they can seize this chip...

Depends on the next five minutes.

....

anwhile, within the marching column of the chanical God Sect.

The steam locomotive roared, spewing thick smoke, as a mix of sacred hymns and war drums interwove with the heavy footsteps of the Guard Brigade’s Armored Soldiers, creating a stirring war song.

The Archbishop sat in the highest command tower of the steam locomotive, continuously using binoculars to observe the movents of distant monsters.

"11 kiloters away, about to enter the toxic fog zone."

"All warriors, put on masks, hold your breath."

"The Holy Trinity will grant us protection, the strong wind will disperse the toxic fog, this is our perfect opportunity!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Let steam and gunpowder pulverize every heretic and monster on this earth, let the light of the Holy Trinity lt away all evil!"

"Raise your rifles, elevate the cannon!"

"We will establish a position on the high ground 4 kiloters away, invoke the na of the Holy Trinity, and bring down its wrath of Divine Punishnt with our giant cannons!"

"Trinity! Trinity!"

The soldiers of the Guard Brigade shouted in unison, sacred incense smoke diffused, accelerating the march a bit more.

By the side, the priest watched the breathtaking marching scene, unable to contain himself from speaking:

"What grandeur!"

"The last ti we launched such a grand expedition was over a decade ago."

"I still rember, we faced a Second-level Monster back then, too."

"The brutality and magnificence of that battle remain unforgettable to this day...."

Upon hearing the priest’s words, the Archbishop gently exhaled, then said:

"This ti, it will be different."

"Our strength surpasses that of the past, and our understanding of the monsters has also greatly improved."

"Back then, we were able to defeat that Second-level Monster, and this ti, we will surely not fail!"

"But, we need to be faster, even faster."

"Those Mimic Heretics are still eyeing us fiercely, we must get ahead of them!"
