Chapter 352 353 Prohibited"I heard that cluster bombs are forbidden to attack Ronshek...don't know why." Rocket Force's position , one of Alanhill's artillerymen asked a well-informed comrade beside him.
Just now, the Guardian rocket launched a salvo at the enemy's position, and a lot of dust blown up by the rocket's tail flames filled the surrounding air.
The large rocket launcher has a very important position in Alanhill's artillery unit, on the one hand, because its firepower is strong enough and its suppressing power is strong enough. On the other hand, it is because the rocket launchers have wheeled vehicles, which can keep up with the propulsion speed of the armored troops.
And the highly regarded rocket artillery unit is also equipped with many dazzling rockets: there are large penetrating bombs, ordinary rockets, powerful cloud bombs, and more. There is a licensed cluster bomb version.
However, in the battle against Longshek, the rocket artillery unit was strictly prohibited from using cluster bombs, and I heard that it was still an order from the Supreme Command.
"You're asking the right person about this. Didn't I go to the regimental headquarters before? I heard from the regiment commander that there was a problem with the use of cluster bombs in Ferry City. Cluster bombs are checked..." the well-informed soldier replied.
In fact, this matter is also very speechless, that is, during the battle in Ferry City, Alanhill's artillery unit used a lot of cluster bombs to deal with the demon army.
Although the effect is good against demons, cluster bombs have a fatal flaw, or can not be said to be a disadvantage, but a feature. This feature is that some of the submunitions scattered by the cluster bomb are easily detonated normally.
The probability is between 20 and 30 percent, that is to say, if a hundred submunitions are scattered, about 30 bombs cannot be detonated on the spot.
In this way, these bombs will become booby-trapped mines that can explode at any time, and become an unstable security risk.
During the reconstruction of Ferry City, a cluster bomb submunition that did not detonate suddenly exploded, killing three construction workers and injuring four others. This matter attracted the attention of many people, and also delayed the reconstruction of Ferry City.
Therefore, Chris had to issue an order, ordering Vagron to use cluster bombs cautiously, so as to avoid a vicious accident of being accidentally injured by his own ammunition after retaking the enemy-occupied area.
As a result, Vagron ordered that the use of cluster bombs be reduced, especially on the front of his own attack - according to the attack plan, these places will soon become passages to ensure the main force of Alanhill. To attack the southwest and leave hidden dangers is to find trouble for yourself.
Thankfully, Alanhill's bazooka unit has other rounds at their disposal: at least, the cloud blaster is a high-powered round that isn't banned.
When the two were talking, the loading vehicle behind them was busy, and the robotic arm was loading the Guardian rockets into the rocket launch nest.
And farther away, in traditional artillery positions, hundreds of priest self-propelled artillery are constantly pouring ammunition onto the enemy's positions.
These do not have a turret, the fighting compartment is an open World War II self-propelled artillery, and the performance is actually only average.
However, there are too many M4 tanks produced by Alanhill. It is obviously a good way to use waste to transform into self-propelled artillery equipment for artillerymen who lack motor vehicles.
So, although the production line of M4 tanks has not been discontinued, the M4 tanks it produced are no longer equipped for Alanhill's tank troops.
Some M4 tanks were exported to the Eternal Empire and Norma Empire, as well as the Palak Empire, a servant of Alanhill in the south. These tanks are sold to allies as war aid, in order to help these allies stabilize their fronts as much as possible.
There are also some M4 tanks that have been produced, only the chassis of the M4 tank. These chassis have been converted into emergency repair vehicles, engineering vehicles, rocket launch vehicles, and most importantly - self-propelled artillery!
The artillerymen who are already lacking self-propelled artillery are of course willing to take over such modified weapons, because if they do not accept it, there is no newer weapon that can replace the priest self-propelled artillery.
Therefore, this kind of self-propelled howitzer with average performance, poor protection, and small caliber, is becoming more and more in Alanhill's troops.
Thinking about this, it's really a thing that people didn't know whether to cry or laugh: someday in the future, Alanhill's armored forces may have a very interesting combination. , the priest self-propelled howitzer of World War II, covering the T-72 tank battle...
Of course, the fashionable Air Force is also equipped with a large number of Il-2 attack aircraft and B-25 and B-17 bombers. What's there to complain about?
"Sir!" In a temporary dug out bunker next to the firing position of the artillery, an officer was reporting the consumption of ammunition to his top commander: "We have fired 17 times. I guess there will not be anyone alive in the enemy's position..."
Half an hour ago, their artillery's own observation post had relayed the news that they could not hear the artillery fire of the puppet empire at all. sound.
In fact, the artillerymen of the puppet empire gave up their struggle more than half an hour ago. After being beaten twice, they finally realized a very serious and very real problem: it seems that they really can't beat Alanhill's huge artillery force...
"Relax, those enemies It’s almost like a mouse, no matter how you bombard it, many people will survive in the end.” The artillery commander in the bunker seemed to be more experienced, and smiled and instructed to his men: “Keep firing!”
Not far from this headquarters, a priest self-propelled howitzer suddenly slammed back, and the muzzle spewed out an intertwined fire and smoke.
In the open battle room, a loader waited for the gun to return to its position, then pulled the breech block and let a hot shell roll to the floor, making a sound of ding ding dong dong .
Then another loader waited until the barrel had cooled, pushed the pre-prepared shell into the barrel, and closed the breech with a smooth motion.
At the same time, another "priest" next to the priest self-propelled artillery also fired a shell.
This kind of fire seems to be regular, melodious, and has its own unique rhythm. Longshek in the distance shuddered at the rumbling of Alanhill's cannons, a thick smoke familiar to Alanhill's grenadiers.
