Chapter 189 189 BazookaOn the silent Gricken battlefield, next to an Alanhill truck, several soldiers were working Final preparations.
An officer walked up to the group of soldiers and asked, "How's the preparation going?"
"All connections are ready, ready to fire!" The leading sergeant stood at attention and saluted, opening his mouth to report.
They've been plugged in, wires have been connected to each rocket, and all rockets are ready to fire.
This is a Katyusha rocket, a powerful multi-orbit self-propelled rocket. There are a total of 8 launch rails, and a salvo can launch 16 rockets with a caliber of 132 mm, which are installed on a truck.
The maximum range of the rocket is 8.5 kilometers. It can be shot in a single shot, or in a partial burst. 10 seconds.
Because of the truck chassis, this rocket can be transferred at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour. It is a self-propelled artillery with very good maneuverability. On the premise of being unable to replenish more self-propelled howitzers for the 9th Army, Chris deliberately ordered a Katyusha rocket unit from the 1st Army to be reinforced to the 9th Army.
The gun has ferocious firepower and large killing range. It is an effective weapon for destroying the enemy's dense troops, suppressing the enemy's firepower system and destroying the enemy's fortifications in a large area.
It consists of a car part and a launching part: the launching part consists of a sliding rail bed, a gun mount, a turntable, a chassis, an aiming device, and a launching device. Before launching, the rocket is placed in the directional groove of the rail groove with a directional button clamp. Inside the combat portion of the rocket is TNT explosive. The cartridge part is composed of seven tubular propellant cartridges, and the firing wheel of the launching device is installed in the cab of the car.
In the back of the truck, there are also two manual jacks that are placed to support the body of the body, which are used to hold the body of the body during launch.
The rocket loaded on the launch rail is 5 meters long, 132 mm in diameter, 1450 mm in length, 43 kilograms in weight, and has a maximum range of about eight kilometers.
It can be said that, in addition to the shooting accuracy and some defects in the weight of the projectile warhead, the other performance of this rocket launcher is much better than that of traditional artillery.
At this moment, Alanhill's artillery is preparing to attack the demon dog troops that are storming the Alanhill position near Alan.
"Salvo ready!" With a command, all the launch personnel pressed their hands on the energized switch.
"Launch!" The commander shouted the order to launch, and everyone pressed the launch switch in their hands at almost the same time.
"sou! sou! sou! sou!" In a short ten seconds, twenty cars and a full 320 rockets all flew out of the rail.
The entire launch position was blown up by the tail flame of the rocket, and the smoke was so big that people couldn't open their eyes.
Probably ten times worse than the worst sandstorm, the smoke from the rocket's tail filled the air, causing all the soldiers to cough. Some people withdrew from the launch position, and some people got into the cab of the car while holding their breath.
In short, after the mess, no one cared about the effect of the shells they fired.
In fact, they don't need to care anymore. After these cannonballs flew a long distance, they landed on the battlefield attacked by the devil dogs almost at the same time.
The densely packed shells fell on the head of the Demon Dog troop like raindrops, scaring the Alanhill Grenadiers in the not-too-distant position to forget about continuing to fire.
In just an instant, more than 20 Katyusha rockets fell. These rockets exploded on the ground with the residual solid fuel, forming a rain of metal shrapnel, which spread and washed among the demon dogs.
Soon, the shrapnel formed a bloody storm, rolling the flesh and blood of countless demon dogs and spreading to the distance.
"bang! bang! bang!" In the shocked eyes of the Alanhill soldiers, the explosion began to extend into the distance, and a wave of explosions swept the entire battlefield in an instant. There were struggling and twitching demon dogs everywhere, black blood everywhere, and mutilated corpses everywhere.
"You just... called which artillery position...you asked for support." In the front line command, a regiment commander put down the telescope in his hand and turned his head to look at his staff. He asked in disbelief.
"I...I don't know either...I just want the artillery position...I asked for support..." The chief of staff was also startled by the explosion in the distance, and he was a little confused. Baba's replied.
In his opinion, this is almost the most powerful battlefield support artillery. In just a moment, the frontal position filled with demon dogs was densely packed, and only the corpse and the smoke of gunpowder remained.
The remaining demon dogs seem to have no intention of attacking again.
These demons seem to have become cowardly lately. They frequently try to attack, but do not seek breakthrough. After being crushed by heavy fire each time, he obediently and honestly gave up the attack.
This is a far cry from what they did when they attacked the paratroopers for the first time, always giving the impression that they were scheming something.
The commander of the 9th Armored Division looked at the chief of staff in front of him and put down the phone, and asked with a sneer, "Give up again? He retreated without even touching our first line of defense. It's a bit more crisp than last time."
The chief of staff nodded and replied: "I heard that they are on the other side, and they should be firmer when attacking the defense line of the Eternal Empire, occupying some empty spaces. A village with no one."
"Bullying the soft and fearing the hard? Knowing that we won't be able to take advantage of it, so go for the idea of the Eternal Empire?" The commander of the 9th Division laughed and said sarcastically.
"Neither, the report given at the exchange meeting is that the demons are not as active as they used to be on all fronts, they seem to be stalling for time, and they seem to be sitting still, anyway...and they really are. The attacking ability does not match." The chief of staff shook the head and expressed his judgment.
"What did the Air Force say?" The division commander eyebrows raised, and noticed an unpleasant smell.
"The Eternal Empire and Greiken have described the scale of the demon's attack... It doesn't match the scale of the Air Force's reconnaissance report... The Air Force believes that the demons are on the rise in general." Chief of Staff Staring at the detailed map of the neighborhood spread on the table, he said.
The teacher threw a red pencil in his hand on the map and commented very depressedly: "Cunning bastards!"
Because of the frequent temptation attacks of the devil, Alanhill's counterattack has been hesitant, and Luna and General Alfred's plan is to wait for the next replenishment of ammunition to arrive before considering advancing to Baraso.
However, if the current situation continues and the next batch of ammunition arrives at the front line, they will still have to passively defend due to insufficient ammunition.
However, because they have been in a defensive state, the fuel consumption is a little smaller than estimated, so they have stockpiled some fuel, which can be used for the next counterattack.
The reconnaissance of the Air Force has always been sending a message that the number of demon troops is increasing, they are scattered over a vast area, and the attack of nuclear weapons will not make as great a profit as before, so the Air Force has no more An attack plan using nuclear weapons.
The fighter unit firmly controls the air superiority of the battlefield, but the number of radars is too small, which affects the interception efficiency of the Air Force.
This is also no way to do it. Originally, Greken deployed a large number of radar stations. They used to monitor the magic eye and prevent some flying demons from escaping and harming civilians.
However, an army of demons destroyed the radar station near the Magic Eye, causing Greeken's radar detection system to collapse. Fortunately, the remaining part can support the operations of the Alanhill Air Force to some extent.
Without these remaining rear radar stations, the Alanhill Air Force's record would certainly not have been as good as it is now.
In fact, the ground troops of the 9th Army brought several new radar vehicles to the Air Force. Unfortunately, half of these radar vehicles were seconded to the Eternal Empire, and they were used as early warning radars...
The new radar vehicles are already on the road and are on their way to Gricken. After these radars are in place, the Air Force can organize larger-scale combat operations.
Of course, the Air Force has not been idle lately. They made a brave attempt. The B-17 bomber unit made a daring experiment with a flying magic eye. The result was very frustrating, they lost two bombers but couldn't get close to the Devil's Eye due to bad weather.
This was a very heroic feat. The pilots who participated in the experiment had a total of 5 crews. They flew bombers and tried to get close to the magic eye, but they all ended in failure.
The returning pilot confirmed what Gricken's magician said: the airflow there was very unstable, and the whirlwind created by the magical atmosphere made flying very dangerous. Combined with a cloudy sky and thunder and lightning - the weather conditions were very unsuitable for bombing missions.
In other words, it seems unlikely that the Air Force will be dispatched directly to attack the Magic Eye and end the war...
Now, it can only be used The dumbest way is to have the Army push the line of defense into ballistic missile range, and then use Scud ballistic missiles to carry nuclear bombs to attack. This is also the reason why the 9th Army has been making a fuss around Balasso, and it is only possible for them to take over there, and then move forward to let the Scud missile troops enter the attack range!
