Two Hundred and Fifty Tubes of the World

Sometimes, human thoughts are actually very simple, which can be clearly seen from the development of certain weapons and equipment.

At the very beginning, human cannons were all made of a tube. Then, naturally, in order to increase the firing rate of the artillery and increase the power of the weapon, some people thought of adding a barrel to increase the power.

The reason is actually very simple. It uses the simplest mathematical principle: You see, one plus one always equals two, right?

Therefore, human beings have started to do addition problems in this direction many times. A single-barreled anti-aircraft gun is no good, then add a barrel and become a double-barreled anti-aircraft gun. You see, has the firepower density doubled?

Then, after some progress was made, human beings began to go further and further on such a road of no return.

The double-barreled gun eventually turned into a four-barreled gun, so after the emergence of the Army's latest anti-aircraft weapon, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that it was still the familiar formula and the familiar taste.

The replacement product of the ZSU-57-2 anti-aircraft gun has naturally become the ZSU-25-4 type! Yes, the double-barreled gun has become a four-barreled gun. The latest anti-aircraft gun is the famous Shileka River self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

Because of the caliber, the Alan Hill version of the quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was converted to a 25mm caliber, which was considered to have improved some of its power, and the caliber was also more pleasing to the eye.

Of course, in order to increase firepower, this addition problem is far from the end. In order to increase the ability to pour instant firepower, the number of gun barrels is flying towards 6 barrels.

A new, exciting super machine gun has been developed and is being fielded for the troops. This weapon has a very tall name, called "Vulcan". Yes, the six-barrel Vulcan cannon that was born in the 1960s has already appeared in the weapon sequence of Alan Hill.

What is even more interesting is that after the birth of this Vulcan Cannon, the first weapon to be equipped turned out to be an "evil" plane, which is really dumbfounding.

Yes, after the Vulcan gun was developed, the first object to be equipped was the modified air gunboat, that is, the AC-130 attack aircraft of Alan Hill!

This improved alien version of the gunship uses the less powerful air defense capabilities of demons and puppets, and is also aimed at the slightly exaggerated crowd tactics of demons and puppets.

When developing this air force weapon, Ireland Hill's ideal was to first carpet bomb a theater with bombers, and then use the AC-130 to suppress all ground targets after destroying the enemy.

While equipped with two Vulcan 20mm cannons, the AC-130 air gunship is also equipped with two 75mm howitzers.

The reason why the 105mm caliber artillery is not equipped is mainly due to problems such as brakes, and the immature fire control system, so the more mature 75 artillery is temporarily used instead.

And because of the caliber problem, another Bofors 40mm caliber rapid-fire gun was also unnecessary to install and use, so in the end this gun was replaced by another 75mm caliber gun.

In other words, the otherworld version of the AC-130 is equipped with two 20mm caliber Vulcan guns and two 75mm caliber infantry guns. Although the firepower has been somewhat discounted, the focus is on uniform caliber and sufficient logistical support.

The most interesting thing is that when they had 6 Vulcan cannons, the engineers of Alan Hill were not satisfied. When they were developing the latest attack aircraft,

A new 7-barrel 30mm cannon was adopted.

This cannon is very powerful and can easily sweep all targets in its path. Its weight is staggering and its rate of fire is shockingly terrifying. It came out completely to support the most advanced attack aircraft of Alan Hill.

Who can imagine that the human imagination is so limited, when they increase firepower, they unilaterally put all their hopes on the increase in the number of barrels.

You must know that the theoretical rate of fire of the double-barreled 57mm anti-aircraft gun is only about 200 rounds per minute.

The latest ZSU-25-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns distributed to the Army Air Defense Forces have an astonishing rate of fire of nearly 1,000 rounds per minute.

When the six-barrel Vulcan cannon is reached, the AC-130 can theoretically pour 2,500 shells per minute on the target, and the two Vulcan cannons add up to 5,000 rounds!

Although the GUN-8 cannon with seven barrels has been reduced to 2000 rounds per minute, it can shoot 30mm caliber bombs, which theoretically has a stronger firepower pouring ability.

This is actually just the beginning, because the technical department has a weapon system developed for future warships with 11 barrels that can pour a full millimeter of shells at the target every minute...

Ever since she met the senior magician Vivian, Alan Hill's fear of insufficient firepower has spread, and it has penetrated into every corner. Who would have thought that the various weapons and equipment that have developed to this day are still worried about their lack of power?

You know, this future artillery can pour more than 160 shells per minute on the target, and if necessary, these shells can be armor-piercing bullets, enough to break high-level magical defense barriers in an instant.

And the barrage formed by this weapon in a few seconds can cover the entire trajectory of the magician - as long as it is given two seconds to react, it can end anything that enters its range.

If one day, in order to enhance their firepower, human beings invent a super artillery with 22 barrels, we must not be too surprised. After all, this is human's unique understanding of weapons, and it is also the essence of human tube civilization.

Of course, this is just an idea of ​​a weapon and equipment that will be equipped with troops in the future. Now the troops cannot enjoy the firepower advantage brought by such a terrible weapon. However, whether it is the ZSU-25-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun or the AC-130 air gunboat, they are all new weapons in service.

After the appearance of these weapons, the firepower advantage of Alan Hill became more obvious. This is an overwhelming advantage, especially in the direction where the combat intensity is not so strong, the advantage is even more obvious.

Remember the fear that the dragon brought to mortals back then? Now, when an AC-130 air gunship with more than 10 tons of ammunition appears over the southern theater of Ireland Hill, who can imagine the dominance it brings?

When the AC-130 flew around a city, it was like a mechanical dragon, staring at its prey.

"That, can you beat this damn guy down?" Holding the long sword around his waist, a general asked his staff a little depressed on the top of the city of the Jesno Empire.

"General, whether it's catapults, ballistas, or soldiers' bows and arrows, there's nothing to do with that big guy..." An old aide replied, "We've tried them all, and no weapons can hit that kind of thing. high."

"We are a hinterland city more than 100 miles away from the front line! The enemy just came in like this?" The general who defended the city pointed at the AC-130 and yelled resentfully.

The main force is deployed on the front line, and it is of course impossible for the troops equipped with Mauser rifles and 30mm anti-aircraft guns to stay in the hinterland cities. Most of the troops armed with firearms were in the north to prevent Alan Hill from breaking through the border.

In order to invade the Palak Empire, the rest of the Jasno Empire's troops are fighting in the south, so the garrison here is basically the same as it was five years ago.

Five years ago, the empire of Alan Hill did not exist, so the level of weapons and equipment here can be imagined: ballistas and catapults are arranged at the top of the city, and the soldiers are equipped with bows and arrows and spears.

Well, anyway, they have a thick armor, but I don't know if they can withstand the 20mm Vulcan cannon...

This is simply the most ideal place to use air gunboats, because the air defense weapons here basically rely on the tendons of animals as their launch power...

On Earth, even in the most backward and inaccessible battlefields of the twenty-first century, the AC-130 risks facing Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. But here, AC-130 just needs to be careful not to get hit by rocks.

Therefore, in the slightly bumpy plane, several soldiers raised their thumbs easily and shouted loudly to the recorder: "The 22nd combat test of the AC-130 air gunboat suppression attack! Start!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" This AC-130 flew around the city like a vulture, with two Vulcan cannons on one side and a 75mm infantry gun, it played magnificently. 's movement.

The tracer bullets followed the trajectory of the aircraft, and weaved a huge funnel-shaped light curtain in the sky. The city shrouded by the shells was instantly covered by chaotic smoke and dust, and the original situation could no longer be seen.

"What on earth did our majesty think? To fight against such an enemy?" The general holding the long sword at the head of the city looked at the firepower he had never seen in his life, and questioned the aides beside him in a stunned manner.

"I...I don't know...what was he thinking...Maybe he's crazy, maybe we're crazy..." The old aide swallowed and saw that a piece of the city was smashed into a sieve by tracer bullets, and then He was hit by a 75mm caliber artillery shell, collapsed and collapsed, and answered melancholy.

In his opinion, even if it is a giant dragon, it should take some effort to destroy such a city, right? This monster pouring ammunition around in a circle in front of him is simply an existence even more terrifying than a giant dragon.

They don't know yet, because they have to leave some cities as weapons experiment sites, they are lucky here. Just behind them, those cities that are more than 200 kilometers away from the front line are facing the B-25 bombers that cover the sky...

These planes were eliminated from the Western Front, and now they are all sent to the Southern Front... The good days of Jasno, the mortal empire, have come to an end.
