Chapter 397 Super-Heavy Bomb Dropped From the Sky

During the communication with Owens, time soon came to the time of launching the attack. The 24 vehicle-mounted self-propelled electromagnetic guns had put down all the auxiliary hoes, raised the long "'"-shaped tracks, and loaded the super-heavy bullets specially used to deal with fortifications.

"Can this thing destroy the permanent fortifications outside?" Looking at the self-propelled electromagnetic gun battalion preparing to launch an attack, Amber turned her head to look at Owens.

The deputy director of the equipment research and development center had raised his tactical visor at this time, and his expression on his face was a little nervous.

"It's not a big problem, Boss. When we tested it, the terminal velocity of the shell was close to Mach 5.5. Taking into account the special heavy-duty earth-penetrating warhead and warhead, the semi-buried permanent fortifications commonly seen in the Federation and the Empire can basically not withstand it."

Oans swallowed his saliva, and then added:

"Of course, if the enemy adds more "fuel" on this basis, we may need to adjust the type of shells or output voltage according to the damage situation."

"Attention, all gun positions, the attack coordinates have been shared through the data link, and pay attention to check whether the data binding is correct!"

The voice of the firepower commander of the self-propelled electromagnetic gun battalion sounded in the communication channel, and Amber and Oans also fell silent at the same time, because this meant that the attack had entered the countdown.

After an unknown amount of time, the voice of the firepower commander sounded again:

"Prepare for the first round of calibration!"

Oans silently clenched his fists. Whether the team can get the bonus and whether he can get a promotion and salary increase depends on this move.

"321 fire!"

"Buzz"

At this moment, Amber felt that the entire launch site was covered by a strong magnetic field, the arc on the launch track began to flicker, and the superconducting battery packs of 24 vehicle-mounted self-propelled electromagnetic guns also began to discharge.

Then, there was a burst of white lightning, and then a loud noise that shook the earth.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

After 24 700 kg super-heavy bombs left the launch track in the lightning, they quickly disappeared into the sky, and only the instantaneous images left on the retina proved their existence.

When the line of sight could no longer capture the traces of these shells, Amber quickly called up the real-time picture of the front-line reconnaissance troops on the command terminal.

And after Ornes opened his arms to feel the air waves generated by the heavy electromagnetic gun firing, he closed the tactical mask with satisfaction and called up the relevant pictures at the same time.

A 'Sacred Shield-Reconnaissance Type' of the frontier reconnaissance force, with optical camouflage and subcritical reactor low-power operation mode, touched a high ground 1.2 kilometers away from the permanent fortifications outside the food processing city.

With quantum entanglement communication turned on, it will not generate any conventional electromagnetic signals when transmitting images, so the imperial defenders on the position did not discover this uninvited guest.

——

"Shrike, do you think that Atlas will attack here?"

Inside the permanent fortifications outside the food processing city, which is registered as 'Garipol' in the official list of the empire, a soldier leaning against the armored wall of the fortifications and smoking asked his comrades beside him.

"How do I know? I'm not their commander. But didn't the commander say that the Atlas troops have surrounded us? They will probably launch an attack."

"Hey, they are really stubborn. So many federal pigs haven't taken this place, and they, a private enterprise army, want to attack us."

"Hmm~"

The soldier named Shrike curled his lips and looked at the exit gate of this permanent fortification with some uneasiness.

"Damn it, are you just waiting for the shift change and then going to the 'comfort station' to be cool?"

The companion who had fought side by side with Shrike for a while soon saw that this guy's mind was not here, and immediately kicked him with his right leg that had been modified with prosthesis.

Wearing a combat exoskeleton, Shrike came to his senses and flexibly avoided the mechanical prosthesis kicked by his companion, then showed a somewhat obscene expression and laughed:

"I don't know when I will end my stay in this place every day. I might die here tomorrow, so I have to enjoy myself while I can."

"You just enjoy yourself on women's bellies, right?"

"Then tell me what else there is to do in this damn place?"

Shrike said unhappily, then suddenly looked up and down at the comrade in front of him, and teased:

"It's you. After the shift change today, do you want me to take you to the 'comfort place' to pick a good one? You don't want to die as a 'virgin', do you?"

"Get lost!"

The young imperial soldier was about to say something after being teased by Shrike, when he heard a shrill alarm in the Yonggu fortifications.

At the same time, an emergency broadcast also sounded:

"Attention all positions, enemy attack detected"

"Boom!"

A 700 kg super heavy assault warhead, relying on the warhead made of special alloy and extremely high kinetic energy, smashed through the top armor plate of the Yonggu fortification, and its built-in delay fuse also detonated the warhead.

Shrike and this young imperial soldier, in the explosion equivalent to 200 kg of TNT equivalent, disappeared instantly with their equipment, and the entire Yonggu fortification was completely blown up in the overpressure generated by the explosion.

Amber and Owens, as well as Hogg and others who were commanding the attack on the front line, all saw this spectacular scene. A large number of armor plates used to increase protection were directly lifted to a height of dozens of meters in the explosion. A series of explosions made this position look like a grand fireworks display.

"The first round of calibration is over, with a hit rate of 97.44%! The relevant data information has been sent back, and each gun position has corrected the artillery parameters according to the landing point information!

After reloading, prepare for the next round of attack according to the order!"

"Oh, not bad~ At this distance, the first round of calibration can achieve this hit rate"

Amber pushed Owens with her shoulder, and the latter also showed a smile of "old father's relief" on his face.

As the saying goes, some are happy and some are sad.

When Atlas, from the command level to the front-line soldiers, were immersed in joy and morale because of the precise hits of long-range firepower strikes, the imperial defenders of Garibal were not very happy at this time.

"Hasn't the anti-artillery radar sent back the results yet?!"

The sudden bombardment plunged the "base camp" here into chaos. After the Federation had not launched an attack here for a long time, both officers and soldiers had already begun to relax.

"Report! The attack was launched from a distance of 120 kilometers beyond the detection range of the anti-artillery radar!"

"120 kilometers?"

The commander of the imperial garrison, a kind of nominal "Garipol emperor", was stunned after hearing this distance.

Then he quickly realized that this might be just the upper limit of the detection distance of the anti-artillery radar, not the actual attack distance of the opponent.

Because whether it is the Empire or the Federation, the current self-propelled artillery can only hit this far after using extended-range ammunition.

"Pass my order."

"Boom boom boom!"

The emperor's words were interrupted by a burst of explosions before he finished speaking.

At the same time, on the front-line offensive position of Atlas, the HCP assault force led by Murat was also ready for the attack.

However, this young man, who was already a ‘senior’ HCP pilot, still looked at a rear view window on the full-circle screen from time to time.

In the window, more than a dozen new main battle tanks that had already deployed in an offensive formation were slowly floating up from the ground with a buzzing sound.
