Weishui River was surging rapidly. The narrowest part of the river was over 10 miles. The remaining iron-armored demons rushed into the river without demur like migrating animal herds crossing the river on the prairie, causing splashes and waves.
Iron-armored demons didn't wear armors. Their skin and shells were smooth and streamlined, which enabled them to move faster in water. Iron-armored demons bit their own weapons and rushed towards the other bank of Weishui River by hands and feet like amphibians in water. It was really a bit terrifying to see so many demon fighters rushing towards them in the water …
Wing demons in the sky were also rushing towards Weishui River at a high speed.
In the upper reaches of Weishui River, dozens of iron-armored warships of Taixia Country were loitering on the river thousands of meters above where the iron-armored demon corps crossed the river.
Since the first iron-armored demon jumped into the river, the dozens of warships of Taixia Country had been giving off ear-splitting battle alarms. All the sailors who had been holding their breaths and waiting for the arrival of the iron-armored demons started to prepare for the battle at a faster speed than usual.
"Target has entered the water …"
"Distance is 4800 meters …"
"Direction is 3 …"
"Water speed is 7 …"
"Fixed depth is 5 …"
The voices of some sentry posts drifted from the sound-transmitting tubes of the warships. These messages were summarized in the command center of the fleet in an extremely short period.
In the command center of the warships, a resolute captain at his 50s in the navy uniform of Taixia Country put down his binoculars as a killing intent flashed across his eyes, "Release mines …"
Closely after that, dozens of warships of Taixia Country had dropped black melon-sized objects with tentacle-like protrusions into the water at the speed of one batch per 2 seconds.
On the river, each warship was a certain distance away from each other. The mines that were thrown into the river were thrown according to the rhythm. When those mines were thrown into the river, they rose and fell under the influence of the current and the waves on the surface of the river, faintly discernible as they floated downstream.
At first glance, the surface of the river was covered with black mines. However, the mines did not touch each other. Instead, they were separated by a certain distance. It was as if a huge net had been cast, and they floated downriver …
When iron-armored demons swam in the river, they would inevitably encounter those floating torpedoes. If there was only one torpedo, iron-armored demons could avoid it; however, due to the great quantity of iron-armored demons, they would encounter each other unavoidably as they threw too many torpedoes into the river.
More brilliant flames exploded on the water surface, turning the entire water surface of Weishui River into a sea of flames in a split second. Iron-armored demons were struggling in the sea of flames. Many iron-armored demons' skin and flesh had been broken.
Some smarter iron-armored demons dove into the water and avoided the first wave of collisions. However, closely after that, deafening high-pressure steam centrifugal cannons drifted from the fleet in the distance as dense shells fell into the region where iron-armored demons were swimming like raindrops. On the burning water surface, numerous iron-armored demons were penetrated through by the shells of steam centrifugal cannons, turning the river bloody. However, the shells of steam centrifugal cannons detonated the dense inflammable mines over the river surface, expanding the sea of flames by more than 10 times …
…
Over 20,000 wing demons were flying towards them from the east bank of Weishui River. These wing demons were greeted by over 20,000 air cavalry I airplanes that took off from the east bank of Weishui River.
Over 20,000 wing demons flapped their wings and flew towards Zhang Tie like a dark cloud. Additionally, over 20,000 air cavalry I airplanes were like a dark cloud. Additionally, the booms of their engines and propellers caused the entire sky to hum like thunders …
"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemies …" An air cavalry I airplane was flying in the front, driven by the captain of an air cavalry battalion. At the sight of the approaching wing demons, the captain in goggles and leather coat made a hand gesture in the cockpit. Closely after that, he pressed down the operation lever and charged towards the wing demons with his battalion.
"Aim and shoot at 100 m away from them. We have to win back the face of our Wuzhou Army and show the other provincial armies and the top four armies that our Wuzhou Army is not a coward …" The captain of the air cavalry ordered the shooter behind him with a resentful look …
"Yes, sir …" The shooter behind the cockpit answered calmly as he gazed at the approaching wing demons.
The pilots of over 20,000 air cavalry I airplanes were all the first batch of pilots selected from the Wuzhou Army that evacuated from Wuzhou Province last year. As these people were chased after by demons and lost their land in Weishui Province last year, all the fighters of Wuzhou Army had long been resentful about it. As the first batch of air cavalries to launch a strike in this large-scale war, it was also a chance that the former general of Wuzhou Army begged for.
Watching the human airplanes in the sky, the wing demons didn't fear them at all; instead, they shrieked as they darted towards them with weapons in hand. In the blink of an eye, the distance between them and the human airplanes had been reduced to about 100 m.
The shooters on the air cavalry I airplanes pressed the triggers of their steam ballistae, shooting out incendiary bolts one after another. In the blink of an eye, thousands of flames had appeared in the sky like fiery fireworks.
The incendiary bolts on the airplanes also adopted mixed fuze. When the incendiary bolts touched the target, they would explode. Even if they didn't touch the target, when the power of the bolts started to decline, the time-delay fuze would also be triggered.
In the first strike, hundreds of wing demons had turned into burning fireballs and fell off the sky, wailing. Some wing demons were directly hit by the incendiary bolts; some were not hit directly; however, they were affected by the incendiary bolts when they dodged. The result was the same.
As the wind was strong, the flames were more powerful. As a result, those wing demons who were affected by the incendiary bolts turned into fireballs in the blink of an eye.
After dodging the first wave of strike, the wing demons broke into the formation of air cavalries of Taixia Country. Almost at the same time, some airplanes were shot down and fell to the ground with black smoke or twisted broken bodies …
It was the first official battle between air cavalries of Taixia Country and the army of wing demons. Almost at the same time, the battle had become white-hot. As a result, 20,000 wing demons and over 20,000 air cavalries of Taixia Country started a chaotic battle in the sky within 6,000 miles …
