As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.

So after the first round of artillery bombardment.

The rabbits conducted two more rounds of relay cleansing in a very short time.

The PLI-05 155mm self-propelled howitzer has a firing rate of 7 rounds per minute, which is the weapon with the longest attack interval on the field, so three rounds of fire cleansing took a total of almost two minutes.

Two minutes of full-quota fire bombardment was, in a sense, the first time the rabbits had experienced such treatment.

After all, in the early years, we didn't have the capability, and by the time we did, there were no battles to fight.

Under three rounds of ammunition barrage, the Demon Beast Group suffered heavy losses and could no longer organize the Sandstorm Giant Mouth.

Of course, individual demon beast counterattacks were still numerous.

For example, a few leading third-stage demon beasts organized small-scale counterattacks, but all were blocked by third-stage arrays.

Not to mention, the rabbits had other means.

Such as at this moment.

Among the demon beast group, a second-stage wolf-shaped demon beast roared, spitting a flame towards the eastern defensive fortifications.

The Wolf Demon was very confident in its magical attack, having once executed a similar level attack in extreme anger, killing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the spot.

However, the excitement in the Wolf Demon's eyes had just started to emerge.

When two streams of white smoke rose from the eastern line's position, one swiftly flew towards the flame, intercepting and neutralizing the attack mid-air before it could hit the position.

The other stream of white smoke directly shot towards the Wolf Demon, and a second later, turned the wolf, with eyes full of surprise, into a roasted whole wolf.

Inside the command center.

The chief missile expert He Hui from a factory beginning with 4, excitedly clapped his hands, his small mustache twitching with joy:

"Great! Our optimized short-range interception system seems very precise, but the fitting formulas and launching angles need further calculation. I still feel the flight trajectory looks somewhat awkward."

Beside him, Hua Jun rolled his eyes, the two having been old colleagues at the same factory for over forty years:

"Keep fussing, do you still want our team's assistance with the Swift Movement Talisman trajectory calculations?"

He Hui chuckled at this, pointing at the screen and dryly laughing:

"Watch the battlefield, watch the battlefield."

Sight returned to the battlefield.

At this moment, in the main attack direction, various indescribable scenes were scattered everywhere.

But this overwhelming battle power was within the rabbits' expectations.

After all, without the need to capture the Two-headed Bull, the rabbits' thermal weapons could maximize their power.

After three rounds of fire bombardment.

Only a third of the Demon Beast Group was still barely surviving, and most were wounded.

Actually, the rabbits were fully capable of annihilating this group of demon beasts.

But considering the distance of the demon beast charge was only eight hundred meters, and the missiles were less than four hundred meters from the main attack line upon landing.

To be safe, some more powerful missiles were not yet suitable for use in this situation.

After all, many missiles' trajectories were not yet optimized, and a slight error of 0.01 deviation angle might hit friendly forces.

So, approximately eight thousand demon beasts were lucky enough not to become barbeque too soon.

Along with this batch of surviving demon beasts, there were also three third-stage great demons—Tiger Demon, Earth Dragon, and a Baku-like demon beast.

The reason the first two survived was that Patriarch Wei and others didn't have enough opportunity to use the third-stage Sword Qi Talisman.

The Baku-like demon beast was due to sixteen tanks using pinpoint armor-piercing attacks to ensure the intactness of the remains.

The accuracy was naturally not an issue, but no matter how overwhelming the steel needle rounds were, they couldn't achieve gun kata.

Therefore, many attacks were intercepted by other demon beasts during flight.

As for the Bamboo Caterpillar and the Scale-armored Giant Snake—well, do you see that pile of meat stuffing over there?

Now, it's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, and considering that even stinky tofu-flavored and snail powder-flavored dumplings exist these days, someone might buy that pile of meat stuffing to make bamboo caterpillar-flavored ones.

Of course.

At this moment, Major General Man, who was a loyal supporter of savory dumplings, wasn't considering so much.

Savor dumplings all the way, he decisively ordered as he watched the retreating Demon Beast Group:

"Officers and soldiers on the western and eastern lines, take note, using the 1/3 line axis as the baseline, launch a pincer attack from points O and V to prevent the demon beasts from escaping!

Long Brigade Commander, lock the artillery positions five hundred meters behind the main attack direction, set up a fire blockade and interception net to cut off the demon beast retreat route!

Captain Yan, the heavy armored phalanx begins advancing, and the compass for controlling Tang City's Array can move with the team, no need to worry about the risk of armor units being damaged.

Patriarch Wei, please, find an opportunity to use the third-stage Sword Qi Talisman with Mr. Shudu!"

The "Shudu" mentioned by Major General Man was actually Wei Shudu, the third elder appearing in the siege, also the strongest combat power of the third house, which was the same lineage as Wei Qiangsheng.

He was in the third-layer Foundation Establishment Stage, slightly weaker than the elder Patriarch Wei, whose name has not yet been mentioned, one of the only two Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Chixian City.

According to the plan.

They would seize the opportunity to activate the third-stage Sword Qi Talisman, preserving the remains of the two target demon beasts in the best possible condition.

The rabbits purchased a total of four third-stage Sword Qi Talismans this time, considered the largest single payment besides the Spatial Bag.

The quality of these four third-stage Sword Qi Talismans was far from excellent—the so-called excellent Sword Qi Talisman refers to those super-strong talismans capable of killing individuals at the eighth-layer Core Formation Realm and above.

The effect of that talisman on single-point armor-piercing already far surpasses steel needle ammunition.

Without considering chemical energy effects, currently, there is almost no pure mechanical energy weapon domestically that can achieve the effect of a superior Sword Qi Talisman.

If cost is not a factor, perhaps an electromagnetic railgun could achieve this—although some fleets in the Navy have been equipped with electromagnetic railguns, the overall technology is still far from mature.

And I have to say, that canvas is just too damn ugly.

Returning our gaze to the battlefield.

After receiving the command from headquarters, the various units on the battlefield quickly sprang into action.

Eastern line.

The two composite battalions and four mechanized infantry companies at point O quickly formed a pinpoint-style firepower defense line.

In fact, the task on the eastern line is not heavy.

Previously introduced.

The eastern line belongs to a standard narrow and long environment, with no depth or concealment; if the demon beasts flee in this direction, it would be courting death.

Therefore, the real routes for the beasts to flee are only the rear and the western line.

Therefore, from the very beginning.

The headquarters assigned more mobile combat power to the other side, the western line—point V.

This was firstly to encircle and annihilate the beasts when attacking the mountains, and secondly to have enough firepower to resist impacts during the endgame.

From the perspective of the entire battle situation.

The ratio of fleeing beasts in the east, back, and west directions is roughly one to six to three.

At this moment, the western line.

Seeing a batch of beasts turning towards this direction.

Zheng Qisheng, sitting inside the firepower launch vehicle, received authorization from the superior department, and his eyes immediately revealed a battle intent.

He grabbed the communicator:

"120 anti-tank group ready, target the group of eight-headed and eight-tailed Serpent Monsters 400 meters ahead!

Second squad leader, where the hell is your 120mm mortar?

Bring it up here and give those beasts a hell of a beating!"

Zheng Qisheng is a standard peasant-soldier, with a very standard Huaxia concept, therefore, he harbors an extreme aversion to beasts that feed on humans.

And that group of eight-tailed, eight-headed Serpent Monsters always reminded him of some dog's myth.

Combining traditional concepts with personal inclinations, Zheng Qisheng's gaze towards those beasts was one of extreme disgust.

Outside his vehicle, on the position, Second Squad Leader Lin Jide personally took charge of calibrating the sights, waved a big hand after receiving the order:

"Fire!"

Rumble——

Multiple firepower companies cooperated with each other, forming a powerful blockade net on the western line in an instant.

At the same time.

The main position dispatched several helicopters, spreading a large amount of unconventional biological hormones from a safe altitude.

Although these unconventional biological hormones are far less effective than the aphrodisiac targeting the Two-Headed Bulls, they still have some impact on the demons' actions.

With the cooperation of multiple units, in just over forty seconds.

In the east, west, and rear directions of the Beast Wave Group, the bunnies erected three stable strangling firepower nets.

Like circles drawn by Sun Wukong, making the beasts dare not cross a single inch.

One shell after another fell into the beast wave, and with the support of strong firepower, the infantrymen found their places to employ their skills.

A certain fire team directly set up a new lightweight 12.7mm heavy machine gun in front of the position, and the warriors accompanied by firing their Type 95 automatic rifles.

Da da da...

The dense bullets formed a true hail of bullets, and one after another, low-level beasts began to fall.

Ah, of course not without a certain patriarch who had already completed the talisman activation task.

Seeing the three firepower coverage nets being so effective, on the main attacking direction, Yan Shaohua felt his blood surging, shouting loudly:

"All heavy armor units take note, tanks in front, infantry fighting vehicles behind, be sure not to exceed the range of Tang City's array.

And then... everyone, charge!"

Rumble——

With an order issued.

Several hundred heavy armored vehicles activated in unison, heading straight to crush the Demon Beast Group.

With the three firepower nets cutting off the remaining beasts in the east, west, and rear directions, all they could do was despairingly watch as the iron behemoths, larger than themselves, slowly rolled over.

Like watermelons placed in a pressure vessel, crushed from top to bottom into a colorful, vibrant red.

Meanwhile.

The headquarters transmitted further instructions from Major General Man:

"Prepare to enter the mountains, Chemical Defense Company load the thermobaric bombs!"
