Chapter 397 Super-heavy bombs falling from the sky
During the communication with Orns, time soon came to the launch of the attack. The 24 vehicle-mounted self-propelled electromagnetic guns had put down all their aids and raised their heads at the same time. A long '[]'-shaped track was built and loaded with super-heavy bullets specially used to deal with fortifications.
"Can this thing destroy the permanent fortifications on the periphery?" Looking at the self-propelled electromagnetic gun battalion preparing to launch a strike, Amber turned to look at Orns.
The deputy director of the equipment research and development center had raised his tactical visor at this time, and his face looked a little nervous.
“It’s not a big problem, Boss. When we tested, the terminal speed of the artillery shell was almost Mach 5.5. Counting the dedicated heavy-duty earth-penetrating warhead and warhead, the semi-buried permanent fortifications commonly seen in the Federation and the Empire are basically the same. Can’t bear it.”
Orns swallowed, and then added:
"Of course, if the enemy adds more fuel on this basis, we may need to adjust the ammunition type or output voltage according to the damage situation."
"Attention all gun positions, the attack coordinates have been shared through the data link, please check whether the data binding is correct!"
The self-propelled electromagnetic gun battalion fire commander sounded in the communication channel Amber and Orns also invariably fell silent, because this meant that the attack had entered a countdown.
After an unknown amount of time, the fire commander’s voice sounded again:
"Get ready for the first round of school shooting!"
Oens silently clenched his fists. Whether the team can get bonuses and whether he can be promoted and get a salary increase all depends on this.
"Release 321!"
"Buzz"
At this moment, Amber felt that the entire launch site was covered by a strong magnetic field, and the arc on the launch track It began to flash, and the superconducting battery packs of the 24 vehicle-mounted self-propelled electromagnetic guns also began to emit and discharge.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of white lightning, and then there was a loud noise that shook the earth.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
After 24 700-kilogram super-heavy bombs detached from the launch track in the electric light, they quickly disappeared into the sky. Only the instantaneous images remaining on the retina proved that They just existed.
When his sight could no longer capture the traces of these artillery shells, Amber quickly called up the real-time picture of the forward reconnaissance force on the command terminal.
Oens, after opening his arms to feel the air waves generated when the heavy electromagnetic gun was fired, closed his tactical visor with satisfaction and also called up the relevant screen.
A 'Sacred Shield-Reconnaissance Type' of the forward reconnaissance force, now wearing optical camouflage and operating in the low-power operating mode of the subcritical reactor, touched a high ground 1.2 kilometers away from the permanent fortifications outside the food processing city. .
When quantum entanglement communication is turned on, it will not produce any conventional electromagnetic signals when transmitting images back, so the Imperial defenders on the position did not notice this uninvited guest.
——
"Shrike, do you think that Raushi Atlas will launch an attack here?"
Registered as 'Garibol' in the official imperial register Inside the permanent fortification outside Er's Food Processing City, a soldier leaning against the armored wall of the fortification and smoking a cigarette asked his comrades beside him.
"How do I know this? I'm not their commander, but didn't the commander say that Atlas's troops have surrounded them? They will probably still attack."
"Hey, they It’s really tough, so many federal pigs haven’t taken this place, and even a private enterprise army wants to attack us.”
“Hmm~”
The soldier named Shrike left. He curled his lips and looked at the exit gate of this permanent fortification with some uneasiness.
“Damn it, are you just waiting to change your shift and then go to the ‘comfort office’ to be cool?”
The companion who had been fighting alongside Shrike for a while soon realized that this guy's thoughts were not here, and immediately kicked him with his prosthetic-modified right leg.
While wearing a combat exoskeleton, Shrike came to his senses and nimbly avoided the mechanical prosthetic leg kicked by his companion, then showed a somewhat lewd expression and laughed:
"I don't know when it will end if I stay in this place every day. I might die here tomorrow, so I have to hurry up and enjoy myself."
"You are just in time on the belly of a bitch. Just for fun, right?"
"Then tell me what else can you do in this damn place?" Shrike said angrily, then suddenly looked up and down at the comrade in front of him, and said with a smile:< br>
"It's you. After the defense change today, would you like me to take you to the 'comfort office' to pick out a good one? You don't want to die still a 'young', right?"
"Get out!"
This young imperial soldier was just about to say something after being teased by Shrike, when he heard a shrill alarm sounding from the permanent fortification.
At the same time, an emergency broadcast also rang:
"Attention all positions, enemy attack detected"
"Boom!"
With a 700-kilogram super-heavy attack warhead, relying on a warhead made of special alloy and extremely high The kinetic energy smashed through the top armor plate of the permanent fortification, and its built-in delay fuse also detonated the warhead.
Shrike and this young imperial soldier disappeared instantly with their people and equipment in an explosion equivalent to 200 kilograms of TNT, and the entire permanent fortification completely exploded in the overpressure generated by the explosion.
Amber and Orns, as well as Hogg and others who were directing the attack from the front, all saw this spectacular scene. A large number of armor plates used to increase protection were directly lifted dozens of meters in the explosion. At such a height, a series of explosions made this position look like a grand fireworks was suddenly set off.
"The first round of calibration firing is over, with a hit rate of 97.44%! The relevant data information has been transmitted back, and each artillery position has corrected the bombardment of various elements based on the impact point information!
After the reloading is completed, prepare for the next step according to the order Attack in one round!”
“Oh, not bad~ From this distance, you can achieve this hit rate in the first round of shooting”
Amber bumped Oens with his shoulder, and the latter There was also an 'old father's gratified' smile on his face.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
When Atlas, from the command level to the frontline soldiers, were immersed in joy and morale due to the precise hits of long-range fire strikes, the imperial defenders of Gallipol were not very happy at this moment.
“The anti-artillery radar has not returned the results yet?!”
The sudden shelling plunged the 'base camp' here into chaos. After the Federation had not launched an attack here for a long time, , both officers and soldiers have actually begun to become lax.
"Report! Beyond the detection range of the anti-artillery radar, we can only roughly judge that the attack was launched from a distance of 120 kilometers away!"
"120 kilometers?"
The commander of the imperial garrison, a sort of nominal ‘Emperor of Garibal’, was stunned for a moment after hearing this distance.
Then he quickly realized that this might just be the upper limit of the detection distance of the anti-artillery radar, rather than the opponent's actual attack distance
Because whether it is the Empire or the Federation, the self-propelled artillery in active service is After using extended-range ammunition, you can only hit this far distance at most.
“Pass my order.”
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Before the earth emperor finished speaking, he was interrupted by another burst of explosions.
At the same time, on Atlas's forward offensive position, the HCP assault force led by Murat was also ready to attack.
However, this young man who was already a 'senior' HCP pilot still looked at a rear view window on the Quan Zhoutian screen from time to time.
In the picture in the window, more than a dozen new main battle tanks that have been deployed in an offensive formation are slowly floating up from the ground amid a buzzing sound.
