This is also the next crucial step. The alliance army will no longer adopt the tactics of rapid assault, but will adopt the method of slow advancement of barrage. The alliance's boots will only step on the land burned by flames.

For this purpose, the engineering corps conducted sufficient tests in the rear. Although the fire caused by the crude oil had a certain destructive effect on the shooting platform with rammed earth inside and reinforced concrete outside, the shooting platform was still able to maintain most of its functions after being poured with crude oil and burned for a whole day.

But who could have imagined that the Abyss Guards, those iron-headed men, would actually place booby traps on the shooting platform.

The original intention was to cause them some trouble while they were redeploying the crushers, but no one expected that these booby traps would be detonated by the fire almost at the same time... After the cement was blown apart, the rammed earth inside was directly exposed to the flames... Yes, soil is not afraid of fire, but the high temperature makes these rammed earths more fragile and completely lose their ability to bear weight.

“What’s the maintenance plan?”

Ye Cheng asked the engineer who came to report with a dark face.

"It now seems that the best way to fully withstand the weight of the Smasher III and the reserve ammunition is to tear down the existing shooting platform and rebuild it."

The engineer answered in a serious tone.

Ye Cheng was furious: "You call this repair? Isn't this just building a new shooting range? Why do we have to spend time and energy to dismantle the old one?"

The engineers were not afraid when they saw this. They were not subordinate to each other, so who were you showing off to?

"Master Ye, replacement is also a form of maintenance, and it was your favorite method back then. Have you forgotten what you said, 'We combat troops just like new things?' Besides, there's really no need to repair the current firing range."

At the Crater Command Center, Cheng Guorong said fiercely to the messenger:

"Tell Ye Cheng, if there's no shooting platform, will he not fight? With a shooting platform, the range is a thousand steps, and without a shooting platform, the range is still eight or nine hundred steps. Can that hundred steps of range kill him?

Since there's no shooting platform, let's lay a track at the front and have him push the Crusher forward and shoot!"

"General Cheng, if we advance by shooting, and encounter an enemy counterattack..."

The messenger had obviously received Ye Cheng's orders and wanted to struggle a few more times.

"Order: Ye Cheng, the commander of the Crusher Battalion, is afraid to fight and is to be dismissed and assigned to the Criminal Assault Team (due to heavy casualties, the Criminal Battalion has been disbanded). His deputy, Han Qi, will take over. Engineers will lay the track on the spot, and the Crusher Battalion will advance via the track!"

After saying that, Cheng Guorong didn't even look at the messenger, and said to the staff officer beside him: "Take the guards and pass the message. Oh, and throw this guy to the criminal assault team as well."
