Chapter 1464 Battle Fortress Appears

In the evolution of the history of war, artillery has taken on tasks and status, and with the development of war modernization and informationization, it has become more and more weakened.

But it is undeniable that in today's informationized warfare, artillery still has its own unique status, which cannot be replaced by any missiles and weapons. With cheap firepower output and high cost-effective destructive power, informationized warfare is inseparable from Traditional artillery.

Even those as strong as the U.S. Army and Marine Corps have a complete artillery establishment.

Although there are no hundreds of artillery pieces at every turn, and it is impossible to reappear the grand scene of the Soviet Union's tens of thousands of artillery fire during World War II, the power of modern artillery has not diminished in the slightest.

At this moment, on both sides of the Tarawa Heights, whether it is the Red Police Corps or the US military, they are actually very aware of the necessity of artillery support.

Although it was very difficult, the U.S. artillery also tried to destroy the artillery positions of the Red Police Corps. However, this time the opponent the U.S. military encountered was too strong in local wars.

The advanced nature of the equipment of the Red Police Corps can almost completely defeat the US military in local wars and traditional confrontations.

The development of artillery has lasted for hundreds of years. It has gone through a long journey from the ancient siege cannon to the modern self-propelled artillery.

If grades are used to represent every revolutionary progress in the development of traditional powder-charged artillery, then when it comes to modern self-propelled artillery, the technology of artillery has reached the level that is about to reach its full level.

And the pacifier can be said to be the pinnacle of the development technology of powder-charged artillery, representing the limit of the development of powder-charged artillery, and it can almost be described as perfect.

When modern self-propelled artillery meets the pacifier, the gap is immediately apparent.

Before the ground battle started, two rounds of firepower covered a self-propelled howitzer battalion of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the United States, and the entire army was wiped out.

Most of the eighteen artillery pieces were directly destroyed, and the rest lost their combat capability.

As for such a result, the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade was unwilling, and could only choose to accept it, and then prepare for the next battle.

However, the ground battle came much sooner than the U.S. military expected. The second round of fire coverage on the Tarawa Heights has not yet ended, and the seven combat fortresses of the assault company have already rushed to the periphery of the Tarawa Heights.

The firepower coverage of the second round of the pacifier is much weaker. For the pacifier with two barrels, one is better than two, but the actual firepower density,

There are only seven pacifiers, but they are not inferior to a reinforced artillery battalion.

Even though the momentum of more than 300 shells landing at the same time in the first round of shelling was countless times smaller, the sound and power of the explosion of one shell did not decrease in the slightest.

The shock of a 155mm high-explosive grenade explosion can be easily felt even one or two kilometers away from the center of the explosion.

At this moment, almost all the American soldiers were lying dead in their foxholes, hoping that God would not let the shells fall by their side.

Some American soldiers even huddled together in fear. After all, American soldiers have always fought smoothly, and there has never been a case of huddling in a single soldier pit and enduring shelling.

The huge shock of the shelling hit the hearts of every American soldier like a war drum, and soon another sound came to the ears of the American soldiers one after another. Squeak.

At the same time, in the ears of all the American soldiers, almost all heard the combat order shouted by the sergeant major, and the enemy came up and prepared to fight.

However, when the American soldiers popped out half of their heads and saw the so-called enemy, all of them changed their faces. What appeared in their eyes did not have the imagined armored vehicles and tanks, nor did they follow the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. Soldiers on the sidelines.

There is only a huge iron block, which is quickly climbing up the highland along the slope of the Tarawa highland.

The American soldiers who had never seen such a large piece of iron were all a little dazed.

"Oh God, what the hell is this?"

"God must be joking with us. Is this dark guy a secret equipment of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation?"

"It's so huge, what kind of power does it use, what kind of defense is it, it won't be killed in one shot!"

"It's like a living coffin that can move on the ground. I don't want to fight inside such a big guy. It's too dangerous."

...

After the group of American soldiers came to their senses, they immediately talked a lot. After the initial shock disappeared, there was only an instinctive ridicule.

After all, for infantry, especially infantry in a modern warfare environment, such a big man is simply a moving target. In their view, all kinds of powerful individual firepower are enough to turn the big iron block in front of them. Survive the coffin.

However, the moment the battle fortress started its combat stance, the expressions of all the American soldiers changed.

On the track, two long gun barrels like mechanical arms are unfolded on the left and right, and the 120mm muzzle emits a faint light.

In the middle of the two robotic arm-like gun barrels, each of the armed modules also showed a towering, cold muzzle, so that every American soldier couldn't help crying and drooling, and they all felt shuddering.

The voice of instinctive discussion stopped abruptly in an instant. At this moment, even a fool can see that this big iron block flying the battle flag of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

And all the American soldiers suddenly realized that this big guy was accelerating evenly all the way up the Tarawa Heights.

When the war fortress was in a combat stance, the shelling of the pacifiers stopped.

Just as the American soldiers in the front were about to attack, the battle fortress suddenly seemed like a wild horse running wild. The speed that seemed to be slow at first, amidst the roar of the engine, the speed suddenly started to gallop.

Compared with the slow speed before, it has increased several times at once. Originally, it was only about 20 kilometers per hour, but now it is almost 70 kilometers per hour.

For a big man with a combat weight of nearly 200 tons, it was still walking on crawlers, which was nothing short of a miracle.

The previous battle fortress was not unable to run, but to avoid entering the firepower coverage of the pacifier.

As for mobility, although the battle fortress is large, it also has strong mobility.

Mobility, firepower, and protection are the main equipment for ground combat, and they must all meet the conditions.

The battle fortress is no exception. Compared with the apocalypse tank, the combat power of the battle fortress is even higher.
