Begonia, which was originally the name of a song in the Three Years of the Patriotic War. Due to its great influence, this poetic and picturesque name was later placed on a kind of artillery.

This multi-rail self-propelled rocket launcher was personally designed by Leng Yuan, who was the colonel at the time. Compared with the field artillery of the old era, this artillery has low accuracy and small tonnes, but it is cheap, easy to produce, and has a short loading time. It can tilt the gunpowder to the target location in a very short time. Often, a rocket launcher can cover the area of ​​four or five square kilometers.

Due to its firepower characteristics, this rocket launcher is very suitable for attacking enemy infantry assemblies, field fortifications, and high-density armored assault groups. It is even more miraculously effective against mutant creatures and is a major killer weapon for the glory of the Republic.

It has 16 launch slides, and can shoot 32 rockets in one volley. The loading time is three minutes under the extreme speed fire. It takes less than ten seconds to fire a volley. It can load a variety of warheads, with a maximum range of ten kilometers.

When this rocket launcher was first developed, experts argued that it should be named. Some people thought it should be named after the iconic place name, some people thought it should be inherited from the old era and named it in the standard way of "model plus caliber". Some people thought that it should be given some fierce names, such as "Taotie" and "Xiezhi", to demonstrate its domineering characteristics.

In the end, Leng Yuan disagreed with the public and named him "Begonia".

As soon as this name came out, everyone was amazed.

Begonia, also known as Acacia grass, is often called "heartbroken flowers" because of its "love-lost" and "hard love" flower. There is also a poem that says: "In the middle of June, it rains for three nights, who can protect the delicate and lazy? I feel pitiful and lonely in the east of the pink wall. It has been divided into green skirts, but it is still wrapped in tears. I once remembered that the temples fell down, and half of the bed was cool and the moon was sleepy. The old love was like in the dream. Naturally, the heart was about to break, so why bother to turn the autumn wind?"

Thinking of the separation of my wife and children during the Patriotic War, the family was destroyed, which made people feel sad and full of tears.

The sad names of such poetry and paintings are not abrupt after the violent murder weapon, but instead break through the sorrow of the original flower language in one fell swoop. The emotions surged upward, reminding people of a touching picture. It was a story of a generation, and it was the passionate blood in the War of Patriotic Patriotic War: the girl from the motherland sang beautiful begonias and sent her to the battlefield. She wrote poems, calligraphy and paintings for him, and he guarded her hometown!

The terrifying war and the beautiful voice as beautiful as nature are mixed, the violent and hideous cannons and songs sung thousands of miles together, the begonia! This is a more suitable name in the world!

In the following days, the Begonia rocket launcher was mass-produced by the Republic of China due to its low price. It was mainly equipped in the Wilderness Expeditionary Force. It fought south and north, especially the characteristics of large-scale firepower coverage made indelible contributions to the expeditionary force's killing and mutant biological clusters.

But now, this rocket launcher of the same name, named after the song of the Patriotic War and was sung by soldiers and the people, aimed its muzzle at its compatriots with blood.

Xuchang, the ancient city in the first year of collapse, saw a sharp drop of 70% of its population, but it survived strongly and was later rebuilt by the northern rebels, and its population recovered to 1.5 million.

But at this time, the begonia's fangs bit at these innocent civilians without any hesitation. The 16 launch slides were loaded with rockets with napalm warheads, and all of them were cluster bombs. They would split into a sky full of cobs in mid-air. Each warhead was loaded with at least 100 napalm shrapnel, and once it sprinkled, it would cover several kilometers of fire.

The 39 Begonia artillery battalions, a total of 402 begonia fired at the same time, were very terrifying. Even though the artillery soldiers wore thick earplugs, their eardrums were trembling. The endless artillery fire fell into the city like a world-destroying star. Everything they covered turned into a sea of ​​fire, and each inch of land was taken care of at least ten sub-compartment bullets.

Taverns, restaurants, theaters, workshops, schools, B&Bs... Nowhere is spared, and shells will not be merciless because you are an elderly, a woman, or a child. They devour all life regardless of good or evil, making the whole city burn.

Leng Yuan stood near the artillery camp assembly site, and the burning city reflected in her dark purple eyes. She suddenly stretched out her hand and made a gesture.

The messenger suddenly felt trembling in his heart. The gesture meant...extremely rapid shooting!

Under the command of extreme rapid fire, the artillery will do its best to increase the fire density and fire as many shells as possible in a short period of time, which may even exceed the original design rate of fire of the artillery.

After the order was passed to various departments, although the artillery soldiers were already cold, they had no choice. This was war and they had to obey the orders.

The artillery fire became even more fierce, and the ground was covered with scattered shells and ammunition boxes, which made the logistics soldiers almost vomit blood. At the same time, the artillery fire of the begonia swept through Xuchang like a storm, swallowing one house after another and smashing one person after another.

In Xuchang City, not only the civilians were in chaos, but the rebels guarding the city were in chaos.

These soldiers were still sleeping because it was not time for the guards to change shifts.

But when the soldiers opened their eyes and saw the artillery fire, they were shocked to find that the post of the guards responsible for the guard last night had all fallen to the ground, and when the enemy artillery approached, there was no warning.

The rebels fought desperately toward the city walls, and often a company of 120 people ran out, and only a platoon of 30 people was left to successfully climb the city wall. When they placed their hopes on the city defense cannons with fierce firepower, everything in front of them made them despair.

Most of these city defense cannons set up on the city wall have been destroyed. Even if a few of them survive occasionally, they cannot provide effective counterattacks.

Not only the city defense cannons, but also some field mortars arranged under the city walls and used for high-angle hoisting. All defenders could only watch the Begonia rocket launcher at the end of the horizon bombard Xuchang with no means of counterattack.

The bad news is still going on. When the senior officers ran into the command center in panic, hoping that the political commissar would convey instructions, they only saw the headless body of the political commissar and two cups of tea on the table that had been cold for a long time.

The city's defense is like a person's body. The destruction of the city defense cannon means the hand is cut off, and the death of the supreme commander is equivalent to the destruction of the brain. In the end, the only remaining legs are left, a pair of legs for escape.

The temporary commander took over the command authority and finally gave instructions in the tragic casualties: give up Xuchang and all military and civilians evacuate immediately!

However, as soon as this order was conveyed, the evacuated soldiers and the people discovered a problem: the city gate was blocked!

In order to defend against the impact of large mutant creatures, the city gates of the city walls have been hung with iron gates weighing thousands of tons all year round. These iron gates could have been lifted and lowered through the mechanism, but now the mechanism has been destroyed by unknown people. The iron gates originally used to protect civilians have now become obstacles to escape!

"Send the order! Mobilize all the useful artillery here! Blast the iron gate open for me!" The temporary commander grabbed the commander and roared with grin.
Chapter completed!
