Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 411 - 196: First
"Shooting on the move!"
"Continuous shelling!"
"Understood!"
With the support of an exceptionally strong fire control system, even as the ground was incredibly bumpy, the tank’s gun barrel remained stable.
The gunner fired rhythmically at the gathering monsters in the distance, with lateral firepower compensating for the lack of direct fire on the front line, like a steel nail, pinning those monsters trying to move closer to the ground.
The monsters’ offensive was once again thwarted, and now, from over 40 monsters originally, only a dozen or so remained.
They could no longer move forward.
The supply line had been reestablished, and a temporary supply point had been set up right at the center of the buffer zone.
A large number of Holy Blood warriors guarded the supply point, while unmanned combat units cleared all obstacles along the way.
The modified trucks continuously transported ammunition supplies forward with a newly seasoned reserve team; no small monster could get within 30 ters of them.
This battle was fought...
It truly was overwhelming!
Huang ng rembered when he was still in Yellow Stone City.
At that ti, all he had was a flintlock gun that couldn’t be any older.
Yet now, he was already driving a tank...
How many months had it been?
For him, this was unprecedented, sothing he couldn’t even dream of.
He couldn’t allow anything to destroy his future.
Especially these monsters!
At this mont, Chen Jian’s command ca through his headset.
"All combat units, attention!"
"The battle is nearing its end!"
"Full firepower, quickly clear the battlefield!"
"Understood!"
Huang ng gripped the control stick tightly, heading straight for the front line.
He knew that even if this battle was won, it wasn’t the final end.
But he was confident that he would keep fighting...
...
anwhile, at an altitude of 2000 ters above.
Two mosquito-like fighter jets maintained a distance of several hundred ters, flying side by side, crossing the front line of the Beast Tide, and continually heading toward the enemy’s rear.
Lei Jie looked calmly at the image flowing in front of his smart visor, then spoke to Jiang Yu beside him:
"We are about to leave the cellular network coverage zone, with the target being Xuancheng, 60 kiloters away."
"There’s a large gathering of monsters there. According to reconnaissance balloon data, several monsters are huge, and so signs of environntal change indicate they might be secondary monsters."
"We need to drop two nuclear bombs above Xuancheng to ensure lethal coverage of Xuancheng and the surrounding area."
"Now I’ll brief you on the bombing plan."
"Ascend to an altitude of 6000 ters, follow the map guidance and visual terrain features for bombing."
"After dropping the bombs, imdiately retreat and continue ascending, return to the base and leave the blast zone."
"The delayed detonation device I set will activate 240 seconds after the bombs are dropped, but the electromagnetic radiation’s blast range can reach hundreds of kiloters."
"This bomber is fitted with many electronic systems, we have done isolation protection in the core areas to block and weaken the electromagnetic pulse."
"Nevertheless, I cannot completely assure you that this plane can smoothly escape the electromagnetic pulse’s impact."
"So, you must prepare for a complete failure of the aircraft’s electronic systems."
"We must try to climb as high as possible to ensure that, if we lose power, we can glide back to the base and land."
"The situation has been explained, understood?"
"Understood!"
Jiang Yu’s voice ca through the headset; Lei Jie subconsciously nodded and said nothing.
In truth, assigning such a high-difficulty bombing task to soone fresh on an aircraft for only a few days seed sowhat unfair.
If it were in his world, Jiang Yu probably wouldn’t have even stepped out of the simulator yet.
But in this world-ending situation, she had no choice.
No one had a choice.
The two bombers gradually approached the target, the cellular network had been interrupted, and the sound of gunfire from the base direction had long dissipated.
Like two solitary ghosts, the bombers quietly flew towards their ultimate destination.
"Distance to the target is 12 kiloters."
"I can visually see the target area."
"Preparing to dive and bomb."
"Follow my actions closely."
Lei Jie issued his orders, and Jiang Yu imdiately responded.
"Understood!"
The two bombers spiraled and widened their attack angle, pointing downwards like spiral drills towards Xuancheng on the ground.
Lei Jie stared intently at the altiter. When the altitude dropped to 4000 ters, he decisively pressed the bomb release button.
"Bombs away!"
"Click."
A light click was heard as two nuclear bombs were released.
At the sa ti, Lei Jie pulled up the control stick, maneuvering the bomber to start climbing again.
Everything happened in silence and calmness; they dropped an extrely dangerous weapon, yet there was no sign of it.
This even made Jiang Yu feel sowhat uneasy.
The bombs she had dropped earlier all provided her with observable feedback.
And now?
Two nuclear bombs dropped, seemingly vanishing without a trace, not knowing where the bombs even drifted to.
Of course, she wasn’t foolish enough to lower the altitude to go see the fireworks.
She just climbed steadily according to Lei Jie’s instructions until they leveled off at nearly 8000-ter limit height.
By then, two minutes had passed.
The bombers had flown nearly 10 kiloters, and after leveling off, they could still fly another 15 kiloters in two more minutes.
This distance would be enough to carry them out of danger.
Jiang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief; she held the control stick while turning her body to look back, counting down silently in her heart.
seconds.
Distance from impact point was nearly 20 kiloters.
seconds.
Following Lei Jie’s guidance, the bomber climbed another 200 ters, reaching 8200 ters, the limit of the limit.
She had already put on the breathing mask, but the cold made her shiver.
seconds.
Jiang Yu was still wondering if she would be able to see the explosions of the two nuclear bombs.
Soon, Lei Jie’s command ca through her ears.
"Close your eyes!"
"Understood!"
Jiang Yu imdiately closed her eyes.
The next mont.
A flash of intense light passed, her vision turned completely red.
The light dispersed, and upon reopening her eyes, two massive mushroom clouds had already risen behind them.
Nuclear explosion!
In that mont, she finally experienced firsthand what was ant by the "rise of the Sun."
The power of these two gaton-level nuclear explosions was far beyond her previous distant viewing of the "tactical nuclear bomb" that exploded in Liangxi City in terms of power.
If that nuclear bomb was just a bigger bomb, what she saw now was a truly terrifying weapon capable of destroying everything!
Jiang Yu was stunned, montarily forgetting that she was still in danger.
In the next second, she felt the control stick in her hands becoming extrely heavy.
Power outage!
Jiang Yu’s whole body tensed instantly, gripping the control stick tightly, and at this mont, Lei Jie’s voice suddenly ca through.
"Communications check, communications check!"
"Jiang Yu, can you hear ?"
"I can hear you!"
Jiang Yu quickly replied:
"Power outage, I am restarting the engine."
"Understood, restart the engine according to the established procedure."
"Engine start failed!"
"Try again!"
"Understood, I’m trying!"
Repeatedly pressing the start button, Jiang Yu tried again and again. Just when she thought she would have to glide back to the base after multiple unsuccessful attempts, the engine suddenly started.
"Vroom vroom vroom----"
The propeller started turning again, Jiang Yu let out a long breath.
In those few seconds, her heart had been racing harder than when she was conducting low-altitude bombing directly facing monsters.
"Engine restart successful, in good condition!"
She imdiately reported the situation to Lei Jie. Upon receiving her report, Lei on the other aircraft also breathed a sigh of relief.
The most dangerous part was over.
Next, as long as they flew back to the base, the mission would be regarded as successfully completed.
Lei Jie gently swayed the wings, congratulating Jiang Yu beside him.
Then, he spoke:
"The battle over at the base has basically ended."
"We’ve won this battle."
"You’ve also contributed significantly."
"Congratulations, you are the first female pilot in this world to drop a nuclear bomb personally."
"The first?"
Jiang Yu was montarily stunned.
"Hasn’t anyone done it before?"
Lei Jie’s laughter ca through the radio.
A mont later, he replied with a touch of jest:
"No."
"Since the birth of humankind, no one has."
"You’re the first!"
