Chương 1415: On top of the war (27)

Thick smoke billowed out, covering the sky and the sun, making the already extremely fierce battlefield even more tragic and terrifying.

The sailors at the artillery position were originally guarding their posts in full readiness, but suddenly, dense and fierce artillery fire like raindrops came overwhelming, and they were immediately terrified.

This violent firepower swept across like a hurricane, and many sailors did not even have time to react before they were killed on the artillery platform by the powerful impact of the shells.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, screams were heard, and the entire artillery position fell into chaos.

Faced with this sudden attack, the navy was completely caught off guard.

"Hide, hide quickly!"

Cries of fear rang out one after another, but in such a chaotic situation, it was not easy to find a safe hiding place quickly.

Some soldiers fled in panic, but unfortunately they were hit by the successive artillery shells and instantly turned into a ball of bloody mist.

Marshal Zhan Guo, who was commanding from a distance, saw this scene and his expression suddenly changed.

He stared at the surging artillery fire with wide eyes in disbelief, muttering to himself: "How can the firepower of the Whitebeard Pirates be so fierce?"

Staff Officer Crane beside her also frowned, her face full of worry. She thought to herself: "Oh no, we still underestimated the Whitebeard Pirates! Our previous estimate of their strength was really wrong!"

The Whitebeard Pirates have always been famously conservative among many pirate groups.

While other pirate groups were actively equipping themselves with advanced guns and ammunition, the Whitebeard Pirates still stubbornly insisted on using swords as their main weapons.

This was clearly visible from the pirates charging across the ice.

But the firepower they displayed far exceeded people's expectations.

This change caught everyone by surprise and brought unprecedented pressure to the navy.

However, this major shift was triggered by Napoleon!

Although the words Napoleon said before were harsh and unacceptable, Whitebeard still listened to them silently.

He knew very well that if he rushed towards the Navy Headquarters without any preparation, he would be seeking his own death.

After a long period of careful consideration, Whitebeard finally made a surprising decision - he took out all the treasures accumulated by the Whitebeard Pirates over the years without hesitation.

These riches are the precious results they obtained after going through countless hardships and bloody battles!

But in order to increase the chances of defeating the navy, Whitebeard spared no effort.

Later, Whitebeard used this huge amount of money to purchase a large number of advanced guns and cannons through underground channels.

Next, Whitebeard carefully planned how to secretly load these guns onto the pirate ship and hide them cleverly so that no one would notice a clue.

Everything is ready, and when the time is right, Whitebeard will lead his pirate group to launch a shocking raid on the Marine Headquarters!

At that time, those self-righteous navies will be caught off guard by this sudden powerful firepower.

It is worth mentioning that among this astonishing number of arms, as much as 90% of them came from the famous Rockefeller family!

You know, the Rockefeller family is a giant that controls a huge business empire, and its industries are spread across all fields around the world.

The weapons they produce undoubtedly represent the most advanced and sophisticated manufacturing processes and technologies in the world today.

Each weapon has undergone rigorous quality inspection and performance testing. Whether it is guns and ammunition or tanks and armored vehicles, they are all carefully crafted.

It can be said that these weapons produced by the Rockefeller family are not only outstanding in performance, but also become one of the key factors in determining victory or defeat on the battlefield.

In this thrilling war, Charlotte demonstrated amazing business acumen and strategic means.

He skillfully maneuvered between the World Government and Whitebeard, and actually made a huge profit of up to 40 to 50 billion Baileys.

You know, such a huge number is enough to make people stunned.

And Whitebeard, who has always been known for his poverty, also tried his best this time.

Despite being short of money, he still resolutely spent tens of billions of dollars to purchase three or four thousand powerful cannons and countless artillery shells.

When these weapons attacked together, the scene was as shocking as the end of the world.

All that could be heard was a deafening roar, and artillery shells rained down on the naval positions.

For a moment, flames shot up into the sky and smoke filled the air, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in thick smoke.

When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, people were horrified to find that the originally indestructible naval artillery had suffered extremely serious damage.

There were ruins everywhere, and the scene was in a mess.

In the face of this tragic scene, the number of casualties is staggering.

Many brave and fearless naval soldiers fell in a pool of blood forever before they could even react.

Seeing this scene, Akainu, known for his iron-bloodedness, instantly stood up in anger.

His eyes were wide open, bloodshot and seemed to be spewing fire.

His whole body was shaking with anger, and he yelled through gnashing teeth: "Damn it!"

Let those vicious pirates pounce on them like hungry wolves, followed by a terrifying and fierce bombardment.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, smoke filled the air, and deafening explosions rang out one after another.

After this round of fierce offensive, the originally neat and orderly naval camp instantly fell into chaos, with broken limbs flying everywhere and blood dyeing a large area of the sea red.

According to rough estimates, at least thousands of brave and fearless navy soldiers died in this battle.

How could such a heavy loss not make Akainu, the admiral of the navy, furious?

His hideous and distorted face seemed to be able to spew out raging flames.

At this critical moment, Kizaru, who had been sitting next to Akainu, appeared exceptionally calm.

He stood up slowly, brushing off the non-existent dust on his body while muttering, "Oh my, this is incredible! As expected, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates are as powerful as monsters!"

After saying that, Kizaru took two steps forward and watched with interest the thrilling and fierce battle going on in the field.

At this time, the elite forces of the navy had already been fighting with the elite troops of Whitebeard's regiment. The two sides were engaged in close combat, and the shouts and sounds of weapons clashing resounded through the sky.

"We can't go on like this. We must end this bloody battle as soon as possible and minimize our casualties! It seems that if we want to end the battle quickly, we have to adopt the strategy of 'capture the leader first'!"
