Chapter 1096: Chapter 1,094, cannon fire preparation
Translator: 549690339
After scouting, they discovered that the pirate army in the south had indeed disappeared without a trace.
After Morse suffered a defeat, the entire southern army lost all confidence in fighting. They ran straight back to whale city and prepared to disband.
If it weren ‘t for the Oasis Army’s actions, those pirates might have really disbanded and gone home.
This situation was very beneficial to kannima, and it was also very convenient for them to move at night.
After the artillery unit traveled a distance to the south, they started to head southwest into the Gobi Desert.
At this time, the cautious commander Ma Ke once again contacted the scouts on the front line to confirm the movements of the oasis army camp.
The Oasis army still didn’t make any movements.
This time, everyone could basically confirm that the operation to secretly leave the city was a success.
If the enemy sensed something, there would definitely be some reactions in the oasis army camp.
Not to mention sending the armored troops to attack, at least a large number of infantrymen would be woken up and arranged into the surrounding positions.
If they did not take any action, it meant that everything was fine.
However, the artillery unit still did not dare to move too arrogantly. The leading military vehicle still used night vision goggles to lead the way. The tractor at the back only turned on a small flashlight-like light and continued to move forward in silence.
This was to prevent the presence of enemy scouts in the surroundings. Too strong a light would disturb the Scouts’ sleep.
Fortunately, this was a Gobi Desert. Other than some bumps, they would not encounter any ditches or deep pits.
After walking for more than two hours, the death god regiment commander who was leading the way in front suddenly sent a message.
“We have a situation. Stop Moving Forward!
The leading military vehicle immediately stepped on the brakes. Following that, the tractor cars behind also lit up one after another with faint red brake lights.
The team immediately became nervous.
Yu Tian hurriedly picked up the communicator and asked, “What’s the situation?”
“We found an army ahead. It seems to be… an armored force?”
The commander of the Grim Reaper was also a bit puzzled. Wasn’t the armored force of the Oasis Army sleeping in the camp? Why did they come here? Could it be that they had a hidden army?
No wonder there was no movement in the oasis army camp. They were trying to paralyze us..
Uh… WAIT!
The Grim Reaper suddenly felt that something was wrong. He remembered that there was an armored army in kannima, and they were hiding in the Gobi desert between the west and the south.
With the advantage of the night vision goggles, the Grim Reaper secretly drove the military vehicle forward for a while.
Then, he became even more confused.
He saw some military vehicles and tanks. The style of those tanks seemed to be the old -fashioned tanks of the KHANNIMA armored forces.
So, he immediately reported, “Boss, that seems to be our armored forces…”
Yu Tian was slightly stunned, then he recalled the order he gave Colonel Snoopy.
He told Colonel Snoopy to wait for an opportunity to make a move and decide whether or not to participate in the war and how to participate.
The reason for this decision was that he did not want Colonel Snoopy’s armored troops to go head-to-head with Oasis’s armored troops.
Although he was now preparing to attack the Oasis Army’s camp with artillery fire, it was still unknown how much damage the howitzers could cause to the oasis army’s tanks.
The howitzers were not mainly used to hit the tanks. The artillery used to hit the tanks was best to shoot horizontally and directly. Howitzers were curved projectiles. The shells fell in a parabola toward the enemy’s camp.
Such a shooting trajectory made the shells lose the ability to penetrate armor when they fell.
It was difficult to penetrate the thick armor of a tank. It was usually difficult to penetrate the armor of a tank unless it hit the top of the tank’s head.
The armor on the top of the tank’s head was very weak. It was still easy to be damaged by a large caliber shell.
Of course, there were other situations.
For example, if the bullet landed right next to the tank’s tracks, the impact of the explosion might flip the tank over and break the tracks.
The specific situation had to consider the type of tank, and there was a difference between a heavy tank and a light tank.
In addition, although the explosion at close range could not penetrate the tank’s armor, it might cause damage to some of the equipment on the tank. The tank would be left with nothing but its armor, but it would lose its ability to fight.
In short, it would be best to see how far the oasis army would be able to last after this night of howitzers.
Therefore, whether Colonel Snoopy would take the opportunity to launch an attack or not, it would be up to him to decide.
As a professional, Yu Tian believed that Colonel Snoopy would definitely not do something stupid like hitting a rock with an egg.
Yu Tian immediately dialed Colonel Snoopy’s number again. After confirming with each other, he realized that they had coincidentally come together.
This kind of coincidence was perhaps inevitable. Everyone wanted to go to the Oasis Army’s camp to make a scene, so they naturally appeared around the Oasis Army’s camp.
Yu Tian did not waste any time. He let the artillery force continue to move forward, and then let Colonel Snoopy continue to ambush them.
After sneaking around for another hour, the artillery unit finally arrived at the predetermined position.
The Guardian mercenary group immediately took action.
This time, the artillery unit did not only have the mercenaries of the guardian mercenary group. Yu Tian pulled out all the instructors of the Tiger squad who knew how to play with howitzers.
In addition, there were also a few hundred cadets who acted as coolies. They were in charge of carrying the shells and loading them.
These simple tasks were still competent for the recruits from Kanimar.
The people of Tamar were naturally gifted in war. They could basically play with guns and rpgs by themselves.
Although they did not receive any training, their marksmanship was quite accurate, just like the eastern country’s militia guerrillas back then.
As long as they did not need to calculate, they would be able to act as a member of the artillery team and perform those simple shooting operations.
This phenomenon showed that the people of Damadi didn ‘t lack basic combat skills.
Under certain conditions, they could still become qualified soldiers and use and operate some less high-tech weapons.
Under the command of the guards mercenary group and the Tiger Squad instructors, the artillery positions were quickly spread out.
At this time, the tractor finally turned on the lights and lit up the artillery positions on the first line.
The soldiers were busy leveling the position, digging holes, hoeing, lifting the wheels, setting up the cannons, and carrying the shells.
Professional artillery soldiers needed about five to ten minutes to complete this series of preparatory work.
Although the new recruits in Kannima were not professional enough, they were still qualified to work as coolies. They completed these preparatory work in ten minutes.
Then, they adjusted the shooting parameters. These were the data that had been investigated and calculated.
After spending another two minutes, the preparatory work was basically done..
