Chapter 1465: Desperate American Infantry
On the Tarawa Highlands, the ground battle started abruptly.
Directly in front of the 112th Infantry Battalion of the US Army, three battle forts rushed frantically to the center of the US Army foxhole on the high ground.
On the high ground where the artillery fire stopped, the stunned American soldiers immediately launched a fierce counterattack.
The firepower of light and heavy machine guns continuously poured towards the three battle fortresses.
Under the night, the dense bullets fired by the machine gun fell on the outer armor of the battle fortress with tracers like light rain, and there were sparks from the bullets everywhere.
The excellent weapons and equipment of the U.S. military often make people ignore the combat quality of U.S. soldiers. In human warfare, no matter how good the equipment is, it also requires excellent soldiers to exert the combat effectiveness of the equipment.
Especially with the development of modern weapons and equipment, the personnel who use advanced weapons and equipment are required to have a certain degree of ability.
In the eyes of the outside world, they often only see the power of the US military's weapons and equipment, ignoring the role played by US soldiers. In fact, the combat capabilities of US soldiers are also second to none in the world.
Especially for the layout of the battlefield and the coordination of actions, they have tacit understanding and experience.
At this moment, on the Tarawa Heights, the American soldiers who had endured two rounds of heavy shelling also exploded with extremely strong combat effectiveness at the moment the battle started.
The combination of light and heavy firepower did not cause the firepower output to be too sparse because of the vacancy that caused a large number of soldiers to die in the previous shelling.
When facing enemies with heavy equipment, under the cover of light and heavy firepower, the firemen's actions are also quite fast. Within five seconds of the light and heavy machine guns firing, several rockets landed on the battle fortress.
Afterwards, many anti-tank missiles also rushed to the battle fortress.
In the 112th Infantry Battalion, even if there are less than half of the soldiers who can fight, they still have a strong offensive ability.
If it is replaced by a conventional armored force, under such an attack, I am afraid that it will have to pay a considerable price.
Regrettably, this time the U.S. military is not facing those second- and third-rate troops, but the Red Police Corps, which has the world's top military level.
Especially in the face of a powerful battle fortress, it is an iron lump, or an iron lump with various weapons. .
Facing the powerful firepower of the US infantry,
The speed of the battle fortress has no influence at all.
The tracks on both sides are protected by thick armor, and the armor on the front and sides exceeds that of a main battle tank.
With such a defensive force, the conventional individual equipment can't do anything to win the battle fortress.
After passing through the dense rain of bullets and artillery fire, under the attack of the US army, the battle fortress did not even stop, and it had already come to the front of the US army's foxhole.
The counterattack also started, and the two Gait cannons on the roof made a heart-rending sound of wheels, and the dense tracers merged into patches of light rain, covering a large number of foxholes around.
This kind of dense bullet rain is what every soldier fears the most, especially those high-speed machine guns that can last for a long time, which is simply a disaster for infantry.
The core of the combat fortress is to be able to perfectly restrain the infantry, to be able to effectively kill the infantry, and to ensure that you will not be killed by the infantry.
And this infantry not only refers to soldiers holding weapons, but also most of the equipment on land.
Long-range artillery, missiles, and rocket launchers naturally need to be said separately. The core of the battle fortress is to use its powerful mobility to transport troops to the front line, and also act as a front-line firepower point. As a mobile battle bunker, it can move anywhere The battlefield provides defense and attack.
So this requires the battle fort to have more powerful defense and firepower, and of course, strong transportation capabilities.
In order to maximize the combat power of the battle fortress, Cai Ruichen also put in a lot of effort to study the tactics that work with the battle fortress.
Which unit is the most effective to match the battle fortress? From the current units of the Red Police Corps, Cai Ruichen's first choice is the apocalypse tank and heavy infantry that can survive in a high-intensity battlefield environment.
After all, the combat mission of the battle fortress is to rush into the enemy, start killing, tearing apart the enemy's defense line, and destroying the enemy's defensive formation.
And the weapon modules on each battle fortress are also different. They can even be equipped with a complete set of area anti-aircraft missiles. Of course, they can also be equipped with some miniaturized weapon modules, such as Gait machine guns, assault guns, and sniper guns. ...
After attacking the battle fort site next to the foxhole, several secret doors opened, and a dozen or so terrifying robots came out of it, and under the cover of the firepower of the battle fortress, they rushed at the American soldiers hiding in the foxhole.
When the US 113th Armored Battalion came to support them, the defense line of the entire 112th Infantry Battalion was about to collapse.
In the face of a helpless battle fortress, it is difficult to destroy it with ground firepower alone, let alone the weapons in the hands of infantry, no matter how lethal they are, they cannot compare with tanks and armored vehicles.
The arrival of the Armored Battalion gave the remaining American soldiers of the 112th Infantry Battalion somewhat hope.
However, this hope was quickly dashed.
Facing the US Abrams main battle tank, the two 120mm main guns on the battle fortress finally began to play a role.
Abrams, who had just entered the high ground, the shells of the tank's main gun fell on the armor of the battle fortress, and the armor-piercing bullets with tracers were directly thrown away when they touched the armor of the battle fortress. go out.
When facing the two main guns of the Battle Fortress, which are exactly the same as the Apocalypse Tank, they don't even have the ability to resist. Abrams' thick armor, like paper, is easily penetrated.
This scene was exactly the tank battle in Kuwait before. Facing the extremely powerful Apocalypse main gun, Abrams lost all his advantages.
However, what really made the U.S. military desperate was that the arrival of two vanguard armed warships in the sky was another nightmare for the air-to-ground artillery attack on the front line of the U.S. military in the entire Tarawa Heights.
Especially for those American soldiers hiding in foxholes, bullets from the sky, foxholes have no defensive effect at all.
But the real disaster was the 113th Armored Battalion. The vanguard armed warship also had two 120mm Apocalypse main guns and two 30mm Gait cannons. The depleted uranium armor-piercing shells fired were even the top armor of the main battle tank. can be broken down.
The remaining 75mm and 155mm caliber howitzers are used to kill ground infantry.
The firepower of an armed vanguard warship is comparable to that of an artillery battalion, and its killing effect is more intuitive, and its deterrent effect on ground soldiers is much higher than that of artillery on the ground.
