"I heard that the use of cluster bombs to attack Longshek is prohibited... I don't know why." On the Rocket Force's position, an artilleryman from Airan Hill asked his more well-informed comrades.
Just now, the Guardian rocket launcher fired a salvo at the enemy's position, and a lot of the dust blown up by the rocket tail flame filled the surrounding air.
The large rocket launcher plays an important role in the artillery force of Ireland. On the one hand, it is because its firepower is strong enough and its suppression force is strong enough. On the other hand, because the rocket launchers have wheeled carriers, they can keep up with them.
The speed of advance of armored forces.
The highly valued rocket artillery force is also equipped with many dazzling types of rockets: there are large ground-penetrating bombs, ordinary rockets, powerful cloud burst bombs, and the famous cluster bombs.
However, during the attack on Longshek, the rocket artillery unit was strictly prohibited from using cluster bombs. I heard that this was an order from the Supreme Headquarters.
"You have asked the right person about this. Didn't I go to the regiment headquarters before? I heard from the regiment leader that there was a problem with the cluster bombs used in Dukou City. All cluster bombs must be inspected...
"The well-informed soldier replied.
In fact, this matter is quite speechless to say, that is, during the battle in Ferry City, the artillery unit of Elan Hill used a lot of cluster bombs to deal with the demonic troops.
Although effective against demons, cluster bombs have a fatal flaw, or it cannot be said to be a flaw, but a characteristic. This characteristic is that some of the submunitions scattered by cluster bombs are easily unable to detonate normally.
of.
This probability is about 20 to 30 percent, which means that if one hundred submunitions are scattered, about 30 bombs will not explode on the spot.
In this way, these bombs will become booby traps that can explode at any time, becoming an unstable security risk.
During the reconstruction work of Dukou City, a cluster bomb submunition that did not detonate immediately exploded, killing three construction workers and injuring four others. This incident attracted the attention of many people and delayed the construction of the ferry.
The reconstruction of the city.
Therefore, Chris had to issue an order, ordering Waggron to use cluster bombs carefully to avoid the serious accident of being accidentally injured by his own ammunition after retaking the enemy-occupied area.
As a result, Waggron ordered the troops to reduce the use of cluster bombs, especially on the front of their own attack. According to the attack plan, these places will soon become passages to ensure that the main force of Eiland Hill attacks to the southwest, leaving behind
The hidden danger is to cause trouble for yourself.
Fortunately, Ailan Hill's rocket artillery troops have other types of ammunition that can be used: at least, cloud burst bombs are high-power ammunition that is not prohibited.
While the two people were talking, the loading truck behind them was busy, and the robotic arm was loading Guardian rockets into the rocket launcher nest.
Farther away, in traditional artillery positions, hundreds of Priest self-propelled artillery were pouring ammunition onto the enemy's positions.
These are World War II self-propelled artillery guns without a turret and an open combat compartment. Their performance is actually only average.
However, there are too many M4 tanks produced by Eiland Hill. Transforming them into self-propelled artillery equipment for artillery units that lack motor vehicles is obviously a good way to utilize waste.
Therefore, although the M4 tank production line has not been discontinued, the M4 tanks it produces are no longer equipped for the tank troops of Eiland Hill.
Some of the M4 tanks were exported to the Eternal Empire, the Norma Empire, and the Palak Empire, a slave state of Ellandhill in the south. These tanks were sold to allies as war aid supplies, with the purpose of helping these allies to be as stable as possible.
Stay on your own front.
Some of the M4 tanks produced are only M4 tank chassis. These chassis have been modified into emergency repair vehicles, engineering vehicles, rocket launchers, and most importantly, self-propelled artillery!
The artillery, which is already short of self-propelled artillery, is of course willing to take over such modified weapons, because if they do not accept it, there will be no newer weapons 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 common in Eiland Hill's troops.
Thinking about it, this is indeed a dumbfounding thing: one day in the future, there may be an interesting combination among the armored forces of Alan Hill, the World War II Priest self-propelled howitzer, covering the T-72 tank
Combat...
Of course, the fashionable Air Force is also heavily equipped with IL-2 attack aircraft and B-25 and B-17 bombers. What can the Army complain about?
"Sir!" In a temporarily dug bunker next to the artillery firing position, an officer was reporting the consumption of ammunition to his supreme commander: "We have fired 17 salvos... It is estimated that the enemy's position
There will be no one left alive..."
Half an hour ago, their own artillery observation post sent back news that they could no longer hear the puppet empire's artillery fire back at all.
In fact, the artillerymen of the Puppet Empire did give up their struggle more than half an hour ago. After being held down and beaten twice, they finally realized a very serious and very real problem: they seemed to really be unable to defeat Love.
Landseer's huge artillery force...
"Don't worry, those enemies are almost like mice. No matter how hard you shell, many people will survive in the end." The artillery commander in the bunker seemed to be more experienced, and smiled and ordered his men: "Keep firing!
"
Not far from this command post, a Pastor self-propelled howitzer suddenly paused backwards, and a stream of intertwined fire and smoke erupted from the muzzle.
In the open fighting room, a loader waited for the artillery to return to its position, then opened the breech, letting a hot shell casing roll to the floor, making a clanging sound on impact.
Then, the other loader waited until the barrel cooled down, pushed the prepared shell into the barrel, and then closed the breech with one smooth movement.
At the same time, another "Priest" next to the Pastor self-propelled artillery also fired a shell.
This kind of firing seems to be regular, rhythmic, and has its own unique rhythm. Longshek in the distance trembles and trembles in the rumbling sound of Airan Hill's artillery. It is already the grenadiers of Airan Hill.
