Chapter 87 Puma Infantry Fighting Vehicle Strange Modification

To be honest, when Ruger first heard the female soldier say this, he thought she was encouraging himself with this exaggerated method. Google search reading

It was probably the kind of sister who praised her brother as if he had scored 100 points when she saw him score 90 points.

But when Ruger broke through the two outer and inner blockades and entered the vicinity of the central square, he realized that the female soldier was not exaggerating.

The three tanks wandering in the central camp blocked her tightly.

With the female soldier's ability to jump back and kill with more than a dozen machine guns, it shouldn't have been like this.

If she was facing the anti-tank guns that surrounded Ruger before, let alone three or six or nine, she wouldn't have been beaten like this.

Those anti-tank guns didn't fire fast, so as long as Minerva jumped away before being pointed at by the gun, she was unlikely to suffer any substantial damage.

At most, the shells would hit some dust, sand and gravel, and knock on her outer armor, making a clanging sound.

But here, she was really attacked by three tanks and crouched behind the bunker and dared not come out.

All this is because these three tanks are not equipped with larger caliber anti-tank guns, nor are they howitzers, field guns, infantry guns, etc.

Ruger recognized that thing at a glance. It was actually one, no, three high-speed small-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

Using anti-aircraft guns as anti-infantry guns is really a traditional skill of this country.

The 88mm caliber anti-aircraft gun is well-known, but they don’t expect that they have such a younger brother: 37mm rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns.

If it were just that the guns were more targeted, it would be fine. The chassis carrying these guns actually changed the style of the old cars in World War II. It was actually three Cougar infantry fighting vehicles.

The American infantry fighting vehicle is a new generation of infantry fighting vehicles developed by the country after entering the 21st century to cooperate with the main battle tanks to march and fight at the same time.

The maximum speed is 70 kilometers per hour, and the maximum reverse speed is 40 kilometers per hour.

It is equipped with an electric remote-controlled turret, which carries a 30mm automatic cannon (autoon).

Its combat rate of fire is 200 rounds per minute, and its maximum rate of fire is 700 rounds per minute.

If it is fired continuously, it will definitely prevent the enemy's infantry from showing up, and can effectively suppress the enemy's anti-tank infantry and provide protection for our tanks.

However, just like the wreckage of the Puma infantry fighting vehicle that Ruger saw during the archaeological excavation, none of these three infantry fighting vehicles really used the Rheinmetall 30mm machine gun.

After this period of fighting and exploration, Ruger has understood why the firearms used by Guimei are mostly old weapons from World War II, but also mixed with modern firepower.

The old weapons from World War II were obviously provided by this underground arsenal.

And it is very likely that there is still a certain manufacturing capacity here, at least the manufacturing capacity of ammunition is there.

And those modern firepower are mostly the spoils contributed by the mountain special operations battalion after being killed by Guimei when they came to reconnaissance.

That combat battalion may not have had time to use other weapons, but the infantry fighting vehicles would definitely fight on the front line.

If the attack channel they chose was not wide enough, even the Leopard II main battle tank might have appeared.

In this way, the infantry fighting vehicles that had fought with the ghosts at close range would definitely suffer the most damage and would not be able to remain intact.

When Ruger was doing archaeological excavations there, he also found that the fragments of the infantry fighting vehicles were even more fragmented and in a mess.

At that time, he just thought that the ghosts might have vented their anger on this weapon that was more powerful and caused them more damage.

But now it seems that they probably recycled this type of weapon into this factory first.

The reason why they could leave Ruger with a small tank chassis was probably because they did not have weapons that could adapt to such a small chassis vehicle.

Even if they did, the power was useless and there was no need.

Not to mention the chassis of the small tank, even on the site of the Puma infantry fighting vehicle, the ghosts did not install heavy artillery but chose a 37mm caliber anti-aircraft gun instead.

The firing rate of the 37mm anti-aircraft gun is not low, about 150 rounds per minute.

But the ammunition feeding mechanism is definitely not as advanced as the modern version of the machine gun. It should be a magazine-type ammunition feeding similar to the Luger mortar howitzer.

So the anti-aircraft gun should also need a certain amount of reloading time after quickly firing a magazine.

Unless they also use wild methods to build an automatic loader like Luger.

However, whether Luger heard from the radio or saw it with his own eyes now, he found that their reloading time was surprisingly short.

It is no wonder why the dignified female warrior Minerva was suppressed by the firepower of only three guns and could not raise her head.

"Strange, why?"

In doubt, Luger simply aimed at a tank and fired an armor-piercing shell.

When he attacked the tank destroyer ambushed in the inner circle before, he had already leveled the muzzle and used it as an anti-tank gun.

At this time, he only slightly corrected the muzzle to complete the shooting.

An armor-piercing shell flew towards the Puma infantry fighting vehicle, but it was a little too high and didn't hit the side armor, but directly hit the turret above.

But it didn't seem to cause a secondary explosion.

This shell neither made it incapable of movement, nor did it penetrate the turret to cause a secondary explosion. It was likely that it could only cause minor injuries.

Ruger curled his lips and was about to lower the muzzle to fire another round, but he heard a ding-dong from the system.

Could it be that the gunner in the opponent's turret was killed?

Thinking of this, Ruger quickly opened the system panel to look at the kill record, but only saw the following:

[Killed mechanically modified creatures - machine gun crabs - turret adaptation modification type, and got 8 points]

Machine gun crabs? The ones in these turrets are not beast-headed ghosts, but machine gun crabs?

Or have they been modified for turret adaptation?

I remember that the original machine gun crabs only had 3 points, but this one actually has 8 points?

This is so ridiculous!

Although he said so, Ruger quickly figured out the trick.

The turret on the Puma infantry fighting vehicle was originally an unmanned remote control type, so the size was small enough to be arranged like that.

But it seems that this arsenal does not have the ability to restore the remote control turret, so these ghosts simply modified a machine gun crab and installed it as a turret.

That poor giant crab was probably put into a sealed armored turret before it grew to its maximum size.

The machine gun in its mouth was also replaced with a rapid-fire anti-aircraft gun.

In order to make it reload faster, the ghosts may have performed many cruel transformation operations on it.

It is probably these operations that increased the points provided when it was killed from the original 3 points to 8 points.

From this point of view, the war potential of ghosts should not be underestimated.

Before, they just installed gunpowder weapons on the bodies of insects.

That kind of guys cannot be said to be useless, but they always care about the head and not the butt.

Or to put it another way, the advantages and disadvantages are equally obvious.
