Chapter 406: Chapter 281: Sky Hunting (Two updates of 8000 words!)
The action paused as Wu Wo locked onto the coordinates of the self-propelled howitzer using the Eye Worm. After confirming it was within range, he crouched down, opened the ammunition box, and stuffed shells into the barrel.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shells fired off rapidly, and Wu Wo picked up the ammunition box and ran again.
Because the enemy’s counter-artillery radar had locked onto his firing position again, other artillery shells came hurling towards him.
Not just from self-propelled howitzers, but also rocket artillery and even missiles were flying in; there was no choice but to run.
Three mortar shells fell, and that self-propelled howitzer was also on the move.
...
This self-propelled howitzer was lucky; the mortars did not hit it, but because it was moving erratically, its front wheel got stuck in a mud pit, and it ground to a halt.
“Trying to outgun me?”
Seeing this, Wu Wo couldn’t help but laugh and decisively crouched down again to fire.
This time the three rapid shots were successful; one mortar shell hit the target, directly destroying the self-propelled howitzer.
This thing wasn’t a tank; it couldn’t defend against the 120mm mortar bombardment.
The twenty-plus artillerymen continued to wield their influence, pushing their mobility advantage to the limit.
Stop and shoot, shoot and run, and the dense forest environment allowed them to move like elusive assassins, completely confounding the Japanese and Chan Country soldiers.
The twenty-plus artillerymen lacked the previous fierce rapid fire, yet Japan was utterly unable to cope.
Because their counterattacks simply could not hit the agile Steel Camp artillerymen, instead, their armor and artillery appeared clumsy in the forest, sinking deep into the mud and struggling to move.
Armored vehicles and tanks were unable to push through the primeval forest but buzzed around aimlessly like headless flies, unsure of what to do.
Rocket artillery, self-propelled howitzers, towed artillery, close-range missile launchers, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, armored vehicles, and tanks were all targeted by Steel Camp’s artillerymen.
At this moment, these armored and firepower units could only crowd together on Sin Fan Avenue as the Steel Camp artillerymen deliberately left the dirt road pitted and uneven, making it even harder for these heavy steel beasts to maneuver.
Unit after unit, weighing tens of tons, could only passively receive hits, unable to lock onto the hit-and-run Steel Camp artillerymen.
Once they had fired all the shells they carried, Steel Camp artillerymen quickly located ammunition depots nearby that they had previously stocked, resupplying and continuing their bombardment.

Others might conduct guerrilla warfare with rifles, but here at Steel Camp, guerrilla warfare was carried out with 120mm heavy mortars, and the effect was remarkably significant.
The slow-reacting armor units and artillery were left dazed and confused by the mortar blasts.
They couldn’t understand how the enemy’s artillerymen could move so fast in the dense forest and why they couldn’t destroy them.
However, high-altitude satellites couldn’t clearly see the ground in the forest; they were blocked by the lush branches and leaves of the towering trees.
Low-flying drones had just taken off, attempting to guide their artillery fire when they were disrupted by signal jammers.
Moreover, the severe signal attenuation inherent to forests was not conducive for drones, which fell one by one shortly after taking off.
This also led to the Chan Country and Japanese soldiers still not having discovered the true appearance of their adversaries.
It can be said that with just over twenty cannons, the Steel Camp’s artillerymen had nearly caused the collapse of the combined Japanese and Chan Country army of tens of thousands.
A large number of infantry were killed or wounded, and their firepower units were destroyed one after another, with the battle almost entirely one-sided.
However, modern warfare is three-dimensional, encompassing not only the ground but also the participation of air combat aircraft, especially the side controlling the skies.
Steel Camp’s artillerymen were bombing vigorously, having nearly wiped out the armored and firepower units of this army of over ten thousand, inflicting casualties on three to four thousand soldiers.
But at that moment, fighter jets and helicopters soared overhead.
These were planes on their routine armed patrol; upon receiving the news, they quickly came to support.
Although a downpour was unleashing its fury, modern military aircraft could generally operate all-weather, whether at night or during a thunderstorm, without affecting their operational readiness.
Wu Wo didn’t continue his brash actions; the jets roared overhead at high speeds, and even a sweep of their machine guns could penetrate the Biological Armor, causing them to temper their boldness.
“Our fighters, our jets have arrived.”
“Salvation at last, bring down the enemy artillery to avenge our fallen comrades.”
“Counterattack, warriors of Japan, follow me and seek out the enemy’s artillery!”
On Sin Fan Avenue, the morale of the previously near-collapsing Japanese troops skyrocketed instantly, and they howled with fervor.
Miao Lun, watching the combat aircraft above Sky Dome, picked up the radio and said, “Prepare the air defense missiles, drive them away.”
On several hilltops, disguised vehicle-mounted radars powered up, and the radars began to sweep and lock onto the combat aircraft.
Accompanying the radar vehicles, air defense missile vehicles erected themselves, and six to seven-meter-long air defense missiles ignited at the tail and soared into the sky. The infrared imaging tracking system activated, locking onto the heat of the aircraft’s exhaust, rapidly closing the distance to the planes.
These air defense missiles, purchased from Mao Bear Country, had not been used for urban defense because they were hard to sustain against the deep pockets of the Eight Nation Group. They were reserved for use in decisive battles like this one.
For example, deployed here were two air defense missile battalions, not to mention the guidance radar vehicles and low-altitude search radar vehicles, but also as many as twenty-four air defense missile launch vehicles.
“Missile incoming!”
