Chapter 259: The Power of Artillery

Intensive artillery fire knocked out all ISIS soldiers in Samarra.

They have thought about the possible air strikes and the possible precise bombardment, but they have never thought that in the modern war mode, there are still people who use this kind of heavy artillery to bombard indiscriminately.

It is simply an incredible thing. After all, with the development of war technology, waste of firepower has rarely occurred.

It's like the current air force, why is it that there are dozens of fighters at random, but now only one fighter can complete the task that only dozens of fighters could complete.

First of all, it is because of the increase in ammunition load. After all, the ammunition load of a modern fighter plane is nearly ten tons.

During World War II, only the B-29 Super Sky Fortress had a bomb load of nine tons.

In terms of precision strikes, guided bombs are now used, and primitive mechanical naked eye sighting devices were used in the past.

Taking the current Nimitz-class aircraft carrier in the United States as an example, a super aircraft carrier capable of carrying two wings of combat aircraft, the strength of the carrier-based aircraft on a super-carrier battle group is enough to exceed the carrier-based aircraft on the 20 aircraft carriers during World War II sum.

And with the development of equipment, the price is getting more and more expensive, so the waste of firepower must be controlled.

However, no opponent would have thought that the heavy artillery group that had been eliminated for decades would appear again.

The last time this kind of battle scene appeared was the Vietnam battlefield, and the largest use was the Soviet Union during World War II. The peak of the development of heavy artillery clusters was in the Korean War.

But now, the group of ISIS soldiers waiting to prepare to fight the government forces in the city was simply stunned.

They have not experienced such battles, and better artillery is nothing more than bazookas and mortars.

It is simply unbelievable to have seen more than a hundred artillery salvos.

Because there is no army, artillery fire is wasted like this. After all, the lethality of artillery can only cause relatively limited damage to soldiers in cities.

Most of the artillery damage is applied to those buildings, rather than killing the living forces.

Under the first round of intensive artillery fire. The Islamic State soldiers who managed to hide in the bunker were horrified to find out.

Those cannons seemed to have eyes.

No matter where they hide, they will be attacked by heavy artillery.

Having never experienced such bombardment, no one would prepare fortifications, hidden in the low corners of the ruins. That's enough.

In the corner, even a heavy artillery shell exploded within tens of meters. Its lethality is also offset by walls.

As long as it is not a direct shell hit within a range of 20 meters, generally nothing will happen.

Every soldier of the Islamic State knows this truth very well.

But what made their hands and feet cold. Those heavy artillery are chasing people to fight.

Especially those basements where many people have gathered to take shelter can withstand a single shell. Can not withstand the continuous bombardment of multiple shells.

Many ISIS soldiers hiding in the defensive basement were almost all annihilated together with the basement and soldiers under the direct hit of the shells.

With the most accurate command. Coupled with the precise strike of the artillery shells, it is enough to make every ISIS soldier. There is no way to avoid it.

The saddest thing is that they couldn't find a solid bunker in the city. Even a few layers of cement can't stop a few shots.

Those shells seemed to have laser aiming, and more and more people died under the impact of the artillery.

Especially those ISIS fighters hiding in train stations and industrial areas, who probably thought it was safe.

But when the artillery began to shift their targets, they realized that the guys who launched the shelling were all lunatics.

Ignoring these seemingly important facilities at all, it was a carpet-like artillery attack.

Then, without any hesitation, the artillery began to extend. Except for some ISIS soldiers who escaped directly from the city, the remaining thousands of ISIS soldiers became the main ingredient of Samarra's steel broth.

However, it was the frontline commanders of the Iraqi National Defense Forces, Mutal, who were bleeding and shocked.

Because the entire city was gone, some houses that were still relatively safe could be seen, but all of them were directly destroyed.

Fortunately, there are no civilians in the entire city, and the predatory Islamic State soldiers also robbed the city of valuables.

The whole city has long been a ghost city, except for those crumbling buildings, there is no valuable place.

Now, I am afraid that in a few days, the whole city will not have a flat foothold.

"What are those lunatics from the Future Technology Group doing? That's not how money is spent. Razed the city, even if it is taken over, what's the use of the ruins."

"With such a dense artillery, are the shells worthless?"

"The group of infidels of the Islamic State have suffered a great loss this time. With such firepower, even mice and cockroaches may die several times."

...

Mutal listened to the words of the people around him, and could hear their gloating.

However, he didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart, because his target also included those armed forces in Marin Town.

In his reply, the Ministry of National Defense had another sentence, which was to take the opportunity to find a way to weaken the armed forces of Marin Town.

But after seeing such intensive firepower, and after the armed forces in Marin Town made a beautiful ambush that day, he understood that they were definitely not as miserable as they imagined.

Recently, he heard that Nasser uttered wild words when he was in Marin Town.

If those people in Marin Town really captured Samarra and dared to run away those ISIS soldiers, then the Iraqi government forces would not only lose face to the Indian Ocean, but even Samarra would belong to them.

As for repenting or not admitting it, Mutal is very clear that the Iraqi government can no longer afford to offend Future Technology Group.

If it weren't for the power support of the Future Technology Group, the Iraqi government would have long faced a crisis of national confidence, and even the president might step down.

Not to mention, the current future technology group's own force has also matured.

The 2,100 security personnel of the future security company, even the 5,000-strong army in Marin Town, are not easy to mess with.

After all, the Islamic State was killed by 800 people in two nights, and today's artillery strikes are all vivid.

If the target of these artillery fires was Baghdad, would Baghdad still be able to find a piece of complete rubble?

Not to mention the question of whether there is a solution, Marin Town is only forty kilometers away from Baghdad. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
