One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twelve Death Raid 2.0 Edition

Making a decision is easy, but mobilizing anti-aircraft weapons is not so easy.

There are three main types of field air defense weapons: anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft missiles. Among them, missiles have the most types, the longest range, the highest shooting height, and the most powerful power.

The problem is that the aliens' air power is either bugs or servants. These are low-speed and low-altitude targets. Using missiles to deal with them is no different from using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

The cost of missiles can easily reach tens to millions. Even if one missile can kill a hundred bugs, it is not worth the loss. The combination of various circumstances has led to the polarization of the military's air defense weapons in recent years.

On the one hand, anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns have developed rapidly to deal with low-altitude and low-speed targets. On the other hand, super-heavy missiles and laser weapons have developed rapidly to deal with space targets.

However, the air defense weapon system suitable for field air defense has made little progress due to lack of demand... It is not that the military does not know the importance of field air defense, but humans have always adopted a defensive strategy. The anti-aircraft weapons in various fortress cities can completely deal with the invading insects. There is no need for this.

Coupled with the shortage of military supplies, unnecessary weapons and equipment will naturally not be developed.

But what the Southeast Cluster needs most right now is field air defense weapons, and they are the kind of weapon systems with high firepower and long duration.

Looking through the military's weapons list, there are indeed many anti-aircraft weapons that have been saved in the past. However, either the firepower is insufficient or the cost is too high, and none of them suitable for Duluo Island has been found.

The entire fleet of the Navy failed to do anything to the insect swarm, and finally relied on neutron bombs to complete the decisive victory. If you think about it, you will know how difficult it is to cover the landing force with conventional weapons.

A battleship is a high-tech integrated weapons platform. A battleship has dozens of missiles, and its firepower is no less than the air defense force of a regiment of the Army. Six warships took turns in battle and still couldn't clean up the soldiers. How many more would the Army have to send? A group?

People eat and horses chew, and take-out equipment is consumed. Everything has to be transported from the country. The cost alone can give the military a headache for a while.

It is true that the military has a great cause, but there are only so many resources. If it really adds so many troops and equipment to the Southeast Cluster, will other services and arms not be able to survive?

If it weren't for resource constraints, how could there be only a few hundred thousand people in the counterattack groups in both directions?

The military does have a lot of conventional troops, and it can pull out 1.8 million at will. The problem is that the equipment of the conventional troops is too poor.

Sending them to the front line is not much different from sending them to death.

After careful research and discussion, the military finally decided to redesign an anti-aircraft weapon, which uses a tank chassis as a carrier and replaces the traditional turret with a small laser cannon!

Nowadays, the military's laser technology is very mature. Laser weapons are powerful, fast in reaction speed, high in firepower density, and the air defense range is large enough... As long as the power can keep up, laser is the most suitable air defense weapon for Duluo Island.

Of course, lasers are greatly affected by weather, and the weather must be good in order to play its due role.

But now humans have the advantage on the battlefield. If the weather is bad, they can stay calm. When the weather improves, they can launch an attack again.

According to calculations by the design unit, only three to five laser anti-aircraft guns are needed to effectively cover the entire battlefield.

Under the arrangement of the military, the entire military industry system quickly took action, designing, manufacturing, testing... all relevant departments cooperated with each other to strive to produce results in the shortest possible time.

The Army's weapon system had just begun to take off, and the Navy suddenly got involved at this time and believed that it should give priority to installing laser weapon systems on warships.

The Navy stated several major reasons. First, the battleship is large and has a large space, so it can install a relatively large laser weapon system; second, the battleship is powerful and can power the laser cannon for a long time; third, there are ready-made lasers on the space battleship. The close-in defense system can be directly transplanted to surface ships; fourth, it is easy to maintain; fifth, it saves time...

All in all, there are many benefits to installing laser cannons on battleships, and it is a hundred times easier than redesigning a self-propelled laser cannon!

The situation was such that the military immediately canceled the laser tank plan and fully supported the navy's modification plan.

Several sets of laser close-in defense cannons were supposed to be transported from Beiyuezhou, but time was tight. In order to save precious time, the military directly ordered the Languan to dismantle the close-in defense cannons and package them for airdrop to Qiongzhou.

Ye Han personally led the special service team to remove all four close-in defense guns on the ship, carefully packed them and airdropped them to Qiongzhou.

After Qiongzhou received the airdrop, it took four days to install two of the doors on a warship. After the test was successful, the frigate immediately headed south to Duluo Island.

With this first experience, the remaining two guns were modified in just two days.

At this time, the warships that set out first had arrived at Duluo Island. After the warships were in place, the landing force immediately launched a second attack.

During the few days of waiting for support, the landing force's drones had traveled all over Duluo Island and determined the locations of four enemy nests.

If they weren't worried about the aliens' servant tactics, the landing force would have started taking action long ago.

But it's not too late now. Under the command of Qi Jingwen, more than a dozen armored vehicles drove towards the depths of Duluo Island... Near the coast, laser frigates were waiting.

The armored vehicle driving into the jungle was like a stick that poked a hornet's nest, and a swarm of giant insects immediately flew out from the depths of the jungle... Yes, this time it was giant insects, not servants!

This unusual situation aroused Qi Jingwen's high vigilance. He immediately ordered the troops to slow down and release smoke bombs around the armored vehicles.

No matter what, let’s protect the car first!

Qi Jingwen opened the top cover and stuck his head out to observe the flying insects in the air.

This kind of flying insect is not small in size, with a thick and long body of about 1.6 to 1.8 meters, and the wide stretched membrane wings are astonishing in size, at least three times as long as the body of the insect.

The wide wings give giant insects extremely strong flying capabilities. They jump into the air very easily, and can rise quickly at extremely fast speeds just by flapping their wings casually.

The aliens have obviously learned their lesson this time. The number of giant bugs is extremely large, but the density is very low. If missiles are used to deal with the bugs like last time, one missile will kill three or five bugs, which will be overwhelming.

It's a pity that humans replaced their guns with cannons and directly installed laser close-in defense cannons on battleships!

The insect swarm had just taken off and the number was still a little small. The laser frigate continued to wait very calmly until it felt that there were enough bugs in the air before ordering the frigate to open fire.

The two close-in defense guns on the ship turned quickly, the radar instantly locked onto the target, and the two laser beams immediately crossed a distance of more than ten kilometers and hit the two giant insects in the air.

It’s time for the laser cannon show! Carapace Mania
