Chapter 1274 1276 Artillery AttackIn fact, the principle of modern artillery is not complicated. The firing pin on the breech strikes the artillery The primer ignites the propellant barrel, which burns and pushes the shell forward, starting to spin and accelerate along the rifling.
The moment the projectile is pushed out of the barrel by the ultra-high bore pressure, it begins a rapid autobiography and flies forward at a speed of thousands of meters per second.
Excessive propellant was sprayed out of the barrel, huge flames shot up into the sky, the air waves roared at the muzzle, and a shell flew to the target like this.
The development of Earth civilization for hundreds of years still continues this simple principle, but it just keeps improving the value of each link based on this principle.
Promote material science and metallurgical forging technology, and finally make the gun barrel stronger, which can allow the entire gun to withstand greater chamber pressure and improve the gun's range.
Research chemistry, improve the combustion performance of gunpowder, make the propellant of the artillery more efficient, increase the power of the shell tenfold, and make the artillery more powerful and longer range.
Precision machining makes the whole gun more accurate and less error. This allows the entire artillery to maintain a more stable state when firing for higher accuracy.
Modern artillery can easily launch artillery shells to enemy positions 20 kilometers away, and the explosive power of each shell is enough to make the opponent's position The earth shook and the mountain quivered .
Because the war requirements are not so high, until now, the self-propelled howitzer units of the Alanhill Empire are still using old weapons and equipment.
Older models of howitzers do not have an automatic loader and are reloaded manually, so the rate of fire is relatively slow.
There is no way, who will reduce the need for war, and most of the defense budget will be taken away by more new troops...?
Even so, the 155mm caliber self-propelled howitzer of the Alanhill Empire is still the latest, strongest and most standard weapon of war. Its roar represents the will of the Alanhill Empire!
The fuze of each shell is checked by the dummy on the automatic production line, and each one is produced by standard parts according to the most standard process, and the pass rate is close to 100%.
The robots are not lazy, so they can guarantee the absolute quality of the product. No matter the raw materials or the production process, there will be no problems.
The products produced by such a standard assembly line are reassuring and also make the enemy desperate. Every cannon, every shell, and even every grain of gunpowder is a product that has passed strict inspections. Every detail of such a war machine is perfect.
With the command of the gunner, the muzzle of the long-barreled 155mm self-propelled howitzer spewed out a huge flame, and the entire artillery position began to vibrate for a while, and the air was blown up. Dust covering the heavens, shielding the sun.
At the same time, another howitzer next door also spewed flames. The flames rolled in the air until they were covered by dust and kept expanding and jumping.
Three 155mm caliber howitzer battalions, a full 54 howitzers roared one after another, and fired 54 shells into the enemy's position in one breath, the power can definitely make the opponent doubt their lives.
The soldiers of the Rock Empire stationed on the city wall did not know that they were more than ten kilometers away, and someone had already started to attack them.
These soldiers are still loyally standing on the city wall, leaning on the long spear, looking at the distant woods. Under their feet was a heavy city wall, and outside the city wall was a densely packed tent.
About 15,000 Holy Sect troops of the Holy See are stationed here, as well as 10,000 soldiers of the Empire of Fire who came to help.
Such a huge army, coupled with the Heavenly God sword weapon that destroys heaven extinguishing earth, the Rock Empire this time can be said to be strong and strong...
"Yo..." The long and sharp The sound of the breaking wind made a soldier of the Rock Empire standing guard frown. He heard the sound getting closer and closer, but he didn't know what could make such a strange sound.
He listened, until a dark shadow suddenly fell beside him, hitting the city wall under his feet with a muffled thud.
Before he could look down to see what had fallen, the impact fuze ignited the high explosive charged in the shell.
The explosion engulfed the soldier standing guard at once, and then the rapidly expanding airflow swept through countless shrapnel and gravel, instantly smashing everything that was blocking the road.
The ballista made of sturdy wood was directly cut into wood fragments by the air flow, and with the metal shrapnel inserted on it, the rampage made the soldiers at the top of the city overturned.
The soldiers who were directly hit basically have nothing left, and the soldiers who are a little closer now only have stumps and broken arms.
And these remaining stumps and arms are now turned into flying debris that kills others, sweeping those soldiers farther away.
The thin breastplate with no difficulty is pierced by shrapnel, blood splashed everywhere. The screams continued, but they were covered up by another explosion in the next second.
"Bang!" Another explosion sounded in the city, the shell blew up the roof of the entire building, the brick wall collapsed in the explosion, and the soldiers stationed in the house, all buried under the rubble.
"Fire from the sky! Fire from the sky! Fire!" An officer looked desperately at the scene where a City Wall section was directly hit by a shell and then collapsed in the explosion, muttering something that was only him. The words that he could hear, his feet staggered as if he had lost his soul.
There were many more soldiers who were so frightened that the soul flew away and scattered by the sight in front of them. Some of them even dared to kneel on the ground and kept begging for forgiveness, begging Spiritual God to forgive themselves.
However, it was clear that no one could hear their prayers. The three artillery battalions more than ten kilometers away were continuing to reload and fire at this moment, and they had no intention of stopping.
The entire city has been shrouded in artillery fire, and some city walls were directly hit by artillery shells and collapsed into pieces of debris.
The earth was shaking, and the sound of crying was suppressed by the sound of the explosion. The whole city seemed to be in ruin, and there was a hell-like scene everywhere.
The soldiers of the Arrant Empire lasted only a short time under the attack of the old-fashioned artillery of the Alanhill Empire. Now these pitiful persons of the Rock Empire are facing the 155mm that has long changed. Caliber howitzers naturally collapse faster.
A cannonball roared and landed in the Holy Sect army camp, and the explosion sent several tents flying. The Holy Sect army soldier who was singing and dancing to celebrate victory a moment ago flew into the sky the next second.
