Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

271 The rise and fall of the Empire 7

Together with the Ride of the Valkyrie, the helicopter lit the search light.

Well, the enemy doesn't have anti-aircraft weapons, so it's effective in chasing down enemy soldiers and panicking them.

Okay, it's about time...

"Mortar, start shooting!!"

Quinn, quinn, quinn...

A very simple weapon, mortar, that drops a bullet body by hand from the tip of a thin, not very robust barrel that is one meter away and is fired by the impact of that drop.

The firing sound is very small.

Depending on the caliber and type, the only thing that isn't too loud is a slightly high "kin" sound.

In addition, there are some sounds like "Pashun" and "Pashun", but when compared to ordinary howitzers, the sound of firing is so small that it is thought to be a toy.

It flies 4 to 5 kilometers, and just falls from the tip of the barrel by hand anyway, so it has good shooting performance.

And the cannon and bullet body are both small and lightweight.

In this case, it is very easy to use.

... but it may not be very suitable for precision shelling.Pretty big elevation angle, because it's curved...

Mortars are not meant to kill, they are meant to panic.

That said, you can't shoot somewhere completely unexpected, so of course there are casualties every time you shoot.

... it's a war, so I can't help it.Besides, this is the Invader.

If we don't attack here and bring it to crushing in one go, we'll have dozens, hundreds of times more casualties.... on the enemy side and on the other side.

The enemy forces appear to be completely panicked.

It's not yet dark around here, but when the day's march is over and you just have dinner and sleep, suddenly there's a loud sound and a pillar of fire, and a thousand fellow fleeing bodies.

What you hear is a roar, and what you see is a Hell Picture of your friends screaming.

They are not in line, and without instructions from their superiors, the rain of light that unilaterally descends on them and leads to a gruesome death.

Since it is an attack after dark, machine gun rounds are mixed with tracer rounds at a rate of one in a few rounds.

A tracer bullet contains pyrotechnic substances such as yellow phosphorous, red phosphorous, and magnesium at the bottom of the warhead. When fired, these substances burn and fly while emitting light. This is useful because it can modify the aim while shooting.

Although there are disadvantages such as the location of the archer from the enemy, and the ballistics change slightly from normal bullets, these disadvantages are not a major problem this time.On the contrary, since the intimidating effect increases, the benefits are greater.

It also works as an incendiary bomb because it reaches the target at close range before the pyrotechnic material burns out.

There is no such effect as incendiary bombs and incendiary anti-armor bombs, which are not tracer bombs, but if they are enough to burn out wagons and wagons, the effect can be fully expected.

Well, that's not what they're mixing up for...

For a while, the enemy soldiers who were just running around in the dark clouds noticed that the rain of death was apparently concentrated near the center of the camp, and began to scatter towards the outer edge at once.

It's not that kind of order, it's like each "survival, soldier's intuition".

Whoops!

And just like the soldiers scattered the Spider Child... quite slowly... as soon as it began to spread in all directions, there was a roar...

Yes, of course it was a mine that Wolffang had prepared beforehand.

Landmines are a very economical weapon that can kill enemies for hundreds to thousands of yen per weapon.

Anti-personnel mines in particular are cheap and effective.If you get seriously wounded without killing, the burden on your enemies will grow, good news.

... for the set up side.

And if the place is in an enemy country, and their troops don't march there later, and they don't care about the aftermath of the war or moral responsibility...

Of course, there is a ban treaty on the planet today, but some countries are not party to the treaty, and it is easy to make it by themselves because it can be obtained by the back route and the structure is very simple.

... and this isn't Earth.

The effect of the Earth Treaty will not extend here.

Well, in order to avoid the biggest and worst features of anti-personnel mines, namely, that they are "buried even after the war is over" and that "civilians who are non-combatants will be harmed", the number of mines laid is very small, and the place where they were laid is accurately recorded, and the number of explosions is also checked to ensure that everything is dealt with when they are used up.

Some mines will self-destruct after a certain amount of time has elapsed with a timer or detonate all of them with radio waves, but it seems that it is expensive and takes time to acquire them, so it is cheap this time.

That's why I don't use the one that jumps into the air and explodes to kill, or the "one that explodes after being trampled a certain number of times" to crush knights and high-ranking officers near the center, not the lower end at the top of the line.It's really cheap, just a simple 'step and explode' one.

Anyway, it is unacceptable for civilians to be harmed after the war or for the laid areas to be inaccessible to anyone.No matter how irrelevant the earth's agreements are, the 'rules I've decided' will not be broken.That's the least I can do.

... well, mine, I said, "Mine, follow me!If it is transferred over the volcano, there will be no disposal leakage, so don't worry.

The reason I had the burial site recorded was to show the Wolffangs that I did not intend to use mines indiscriminately and that there were strict rules when laying mines.

I have trouble thinking about using landmines easily in future operations in this world....

Mines are laid only in the front, towards the King's Capital, where Princess Gegege is.

I didn't bury it for those who turned back.Not only on the streets, but also on the grasslands and wastelands on both sides of the road.

Well, if you bury it in that side of the street, it'll explode when you come.Because I only use cheap ones.

The mortars were initially fired near the center, but now they're shooting into the middle between where the enemy was camping and the mine fields.

Enemy soldiers are sparse, but the goal is not to kill many soldiers, but to defeat the avalanche in your own country, so that's fine.

Anyway, that's why there's been an explosion on the front, but not a lot of mortars.

... mortar shells are expensive.

Well, compared to a few hundred yen mine.It's cheaper than regular howitzers and guided ammunition...

Well, enemy soldiers don't distinguish between a mortar explosion and a mine explosion.

However, if you run forward, it will explode, and if you run backward, it will not explode.That's all we need to know.

The enemy is out of light.Apparently, all the fires and lamps were extinguished to avoid being targeted by the attackers.

However, since there are searchlights, infrared scopes, and starlight scopes, in situations that are not so dark, it is hardly difficult to see.

On the other hand, they seem to be chaotic because they can't find the weapon or armor they took off, or because they don't know where they are or where their superiors are.

And even superiors can't give orders to their scattered subordinates.

The moment you take off your weapon and relax on the verge of eating.

No time to wear gear, no time to run away from the darkness, no time to lose sight of your troops, superiors, and commanders.

Gears that fell out of place and rolled somewhere.

Such a thing is worthless.

The firing speed has been reduced, but mortars are moving closer to the center one by one.

And it's almost irrelevant, two general-purpose helicopters that openly chase down enemy soldiers.

Of course, while playing the "Ride of the Valkyrie" at a high volume, he intimidated with a searchlight and fired a machine gun....

All right, you've completely begun to lose.
