Gao Feng's unit's weaponry was indeed not very advanced, but some conventional equipment was quite sophisticated, such as the binoculars in his hands.
They had eight times magnification, and the binoculars also featured night vision and thermal imaging capabilities, meaning they could be used normally even at night.
Using the eight-times magnification scope in his hand, Yang Zhiwen quickly scanned the approaching Demon Race members.
"I recognize these Demon Race members. Those ones whose height is similar to humans are called Long-Armored Demons."
"Their external skin possesses a certain defensive capability, but it's not very strong—about equivalent to five millimeters of tough hide."
"The Long-Armored Demon is a relatively common Cannon Fodder unit among the Demon Race, numerous in quantity. Their main methods of attack are the sharp claws on their hands and their massive mouths, relying primarily on tearing and slashing."
"Their combat strength isn't very high; even wearing Armor, one can effectively defend against their attacks. When the armies of the Otherworld engage the Demon Race, the Long-Armored Demons are often used as Cannon Fodder by the Demon Race to disrupt formations and expend arrows and stamina."
"Those Demon Race members whose size is similar to an ox, with two vertical horns on their heads, moving on four legs, are called Two-Horned Demons!"
"The main attack methods for this Demon Race unit are high-speed charges and the two sharp horns on their heads. When facing relatively fragile targets, they can rely on their considerable speed for a direct charge, and their two horns also possess significant toughness."
"Furthermore, the Two-Horned Demon is covered in Scale Armor, giving them much better defense than the Long-Armored Demon, making them basically immune to close-range attacks from Bow and Arrow."
"And those other Demon Race members that resemble wolves are Corrupted Demon Wolves."
"The Corrupted Demon Wolf possesses excellent agility. Additionally, the Corrupted Demon Wolf can spit corrosive liquid, which is highly corrosive to many objects, including metal."
"As for the last type, the fewest in number, standing 3 meters tall and possessing a tail, they are the Gu Demons."
"The Gu Demon is considered an intermediate unit among the Demon Race. The biggest difference between them and the other three types is that the Long-Armored Demon, Two-Horned Demon, and Corrupted Demon Wolf do not possess high intelligence; compared to the Gu Demon, the other three types are more like beasts."
"The Gu Demon not only possesses intelligence but also a special ability: they can bewitch people through sound."
"I once saw a Report stating that Gu Demons used their abilities on the Otherworld army during a battle, causing the Otherworld army to turn on and kill each other."
"And the key point is that the Gu Demon's ability is area-of-effect; it can be activated as long as the target is within the sound coverage range."
"Moreover, the Gu Demon's height of over 3 meters ensures they won't be too weak in close combat. Therefore, I suggest that at the very first moment of engagement, the Gu Demons must be prioritized for elimination."
"Understood, I see."
After Yang Zhiwen's explanation, Gao Feng gained a general understanding of the 500 Demon Race members approaching the castle.
Overall, the most troublesome among the 500 Demon Race members were the dozen or so Gu Demons.
The ability to control one's own forces purely through sound was indeed very tricky, but fortunately, the sound propagation range was limited, meaning they wouldn't be affected as long as they were outside the Gu Demon's sound coverage area.
Looking at the 3-meter-tall Gu Demons, Gao Feng decided that once the fighting started, the Rocket Launchers would prioritize eliminating these dozen or so Gu Demons first.
Once the most troublesome Gu Demons were dealt with, the remaining Demon Race members, in Gao Feng's view, were not impossible to handle.
Excluding the Gu Demons, the most troublesome among the rest were the Two-Horned Demons; their larger size and higher defense might withstand attacks from the Type 56 Firearm Family.
However, they were currently gathered around a sturdy castle, and even if the Two-Horned Demons used their powerful strength to ram the castle, they couldn't breach the walls in a short time. Thus, once the Gu Demons were eliminated, the 40mm Rocket Launcher could launch follow-up attacks on the Two-Horned Demons.
As for the Long-Armored Demons and Corrupted Demon Wolves, the 7.62x39mm Bullet would be sufficient.
Soon, led by the dozen or so Gu Demons, the 500 Demon Race members arrived not far from the castle.
Gao Feng watched the Demon Race members enter firing range but did not immediately give the order to fire.
The Type 69 Rocket Launcher had a range of up to 300 meters, but its Muzzle Velocity was not fast, only over 200 meters per second.
To ensure the Gu Demons were eliminated in the shortest time possible, Gao Feng planned to wait until the enemy was within 200 meters before opening fire.
Bringing them to a distance of 200 meters served two purposes: first, to guarantee the hit probability of the 40mm Rocket Launcher, and second, to reduce the time available for the enemy to dodge.
The Rocket fired by the 40mm Rocket Launcher could reach speeds of over 200 meters per second. Although faster than projectiles like arrows, theoretically, they could still be dodged.
When the Demon Race members were only 200 meters from the castle, they stopped.
It wasn't that the Demon Race members had sensed something was wrong, but rather that 200 meters was essentially the maximum effective range limit for Bow and Arrow.
As the Demon Race members halted, one Gu Demon stepped forward from the crowd, preparing to say something.
Gao Feng gave the order to fire.
The 20 Rocket Launcher operators, who had been briefed beforehand, immediately raised the Type 69 Rocket Launchers in their hands and aimed at their assigned targets.
Gao Feng had specifically gathered the 20 Rocket Launcher operators earlier to assign targets.
As elite members of the Fierce Shark Special Forces, the team members were naturally proficient with various weapons; even with an old weapon like the Type 69 Rocket Launcher, they could use it without any pressure.
Even though they hadn't been aiming continuously before, they locked onto their attack targets in an extremely short time.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Twenty Rockets trailed smoke as they shot from the castle walls toward the Demon Race members.
The Gu Demon, who had been preparing to call for surrender, saw the 20 Rockets flying toward them and didn't have time to react before the dozen or so Gu Demons were precisely hit and engulfed by the 20 Rockets.
The Rocket Launcher operators of the Fierce Shark Special Forces achieved a 100% hit rate; all Rockets struck the Gu Demons.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
To ensure a direct hit, all Rockets fired this time were Type III High-Explosive Anti-Tank Grenades from the Type 69.
As Rockets specifically designed to strike Armored targets, they could naturally penetrate the Demon Race's defense easily.
The Gu Demon was not known for excellent defense in the first place, so they certainly couldn't withstand High-Explosive Anti-Tank Grenades.
And following the 20 explosions occurring within the dense cluster of Demon Race members, the dozen or so Gu Demons, who posed the greatest threat to Gao Feng and his men, were all killed in the blasts, while a large number of Demon Race members close to the Gu Demons were also affected by the explosions.
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
With the first wave of fire from the Rocket Launchers eliminating all the Gu Demons in the Demon Race cluster,
the remaining members of the Fierce Shark Special Forces began using the Type 56 Firearm Family in their hands to unleash a dense rain of fire upon the Demon Race members.
The Type 56 Automatic Rifle and the Type 56 Squad Automatic Weapon began using their full-automatic firing modes to suppress the most numerous Long-Armored Demons.
Meanwhile, the shooters with the Type 56 Semi-automatic Rifle used their excellent marksmanship to precisely target the rapidly approaching Corrupted Demon Wolves.
