"Fire!!"
Rows of towering gun barrels spewed fire, and deafening blasts thundered across the wilderness.
A total of fifty-two "Fire Crossbow" self-propelled artillery pieces, divided among five artillery positions, launched six full salvos at the enemy artillery positions exposed by their fire on the eastern bank of the river!
Independently developed by the Southern Legion, the "Fire Crossbow" self-propelled artillery piece was beloved throughout the Southern Legion for its outstanding support efficiency. Its popularity was second only to the 902mm super-heavy cannon and shallow-water gunboats.
Although its chassis still used Conqueror-series armor, its autoloading system, fire-control system, and even its thick, long 200mm cannon had all been independently designed by the Southern Legion according to its own battlefield needs.
Beside the five artillery positions, twelve anti-air vehicles were also standing by in three anti-air positions, watching for threats from the sky.
Although the Horn was monitoring the airspace, the Legion knew that The Alliance possessed not only propeller aircraft but also next-generation fighters. Therefore, they had not deployed their anti-air guns to the front lines as they would when fighting natives.
At one of the artillery positions, a man wearing an officer's cap narrowed his eyes at the roaring bombardment nearby, a cold smile curling across his lips.
His name was Toran. He was the commander of the support unit attached to the 36th Ten-Thousand-Man Corps, holding the rank of centurion.

As expected, the Alliance's 155mm guns had already been blasted into scrap metal by their counterbattery fire.
The adjutant standing beside him chuckled, a hint of mockery in his expression.
"This barrage should be enough
