Chapter 1007: Seat

When watching a car, there are many VIP seats. When watching a war, there are of course many such so-called "seats."

For example, if you have good physical fitness, sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet and rolling an 18th company, you can definitely experience the lightness and agility of the current war.

For another example, it is also a good choice if you stand on the bridge of a super battleship, overlooking the distant sea, and experience the bohemian feelings of riding the wind and the waves.

For another example, putting your face on the eyepiece of the scissor artillery lens with your back hand, and passing through the gap of the barbed wire to see the enemy's position, that can also be regarded as an alternative feeling.

Of course, everything has two sides. If you squat in the trenches, endure endless shelling, and be viewed with the artillery mirror... then it would not be a good thing.

Among the many "VIP seats", there is a viewing area where you can say whether it is good or not, and that is near the position of your own artillery.

Burrison was under the walls of Burkeland Fortress at this moment. Above his head, there was a fortress gun modified by a 283mm-caliber heavy railroad gun that was firing wildly!

Originally, this kind of artillery was the jewel of the army’s artillery, and even when the Holy Demon Empire was destroyed, this kind of train artillery had participated in several important battles.

However, with the passage of time, this type of train cannon, which relies heavily on railway maneuvering and has gradually failed to keep up with the times, has become a chicken rib for uncle and grandma.

It is a pity that these basically only fired more than a dozen guns, and some of them even fired only a few expensive artillery, which can no longer keep up with the combat rhythm of modern warfare.

Ever since, the baby that was once a first-line combat force had no choice but to throw it away for use by the second-line garrison. Later, the second-line troops also looked down on it, so they could only be sealed up.

It was not until the surrender of the Puppet Empire and Burkland, a huge mobile fortress, that became the spoils of the Ailan Hill Empire.

Almost all the railroad guns produced by the Elanhill Empire, including the two 800mm Gustaf cannons given to Chris by the Grand Duke of Ironforge, were all piled on the Burkland Fortress. .

Anyway, this fortress was also given away for nothing, so it was piled up into an artillery fortress, a museum of ancient weapons.

Burklan is equipped not only with two Gustav cannons, but also railway guns of various calibers, as well as a large number of rockets and other weapons.

At this moment, standing under the city wall, or under the densely packed centipede legs, Burrison stuffed a warm hamburger into his mouth.

Speaking of this burger, there is still a bit of experience. It was Burrison’s signalman who drove to a burger shop in Burkland and bought it for him.

This may be the most pleasant expedition since records: the combat troops have a city to follow, providing all kinds of warm services at any time.

Burrison can even guarantee that if Burklan has been on the front line, the time for frontline soldiers to withdraw to the second line for rest can be extended by at least 30%!

"What are they doing... digging out a river and then building a bridge?" Burrison said while chewing on a warm hamburger.

He has been listening to the cannons for more than an hour, even if there is still some distance from the artillery, his ears have been numb.

At least 100 guns of various calibers are firing continuously, and the smallest caliber may be about 200 mm!

As early as an hour ago, the artillery of 800 mm caliber opened the prelude to the bombardment, and all the soldiers in the vicinity were shocked by the symphony of the artillery.

Because of the need to cool down and reload, the Gustav cannon that fired an hour ago made a loud noise again just ten minutes ago.

The train guns of 283 mm caliber and 381 mm caliber are different. Their rate of fire is slightly faster, and at least 35 cannons can be fired in an hour.

Of course, it’s the turn of the k5 train gun that the performance of the prototype cannon is very average, and the rate of fire can be faster. With the automatic loader provided by the fortress, this 283mm caliber cannon can reach the limit of 11 rounds per hour. Rate of fire!

"Hmm! The sound of this artillery is good... 283 mm long barrel, long range and high accuracy... Not bad..." He gobbled up the hamburger in his hand, and tore the wrapping paper on the hamburger with one hand.

This kind of fast food with two slices of bread sandwiching a piece of meatloaf is Burrison's favorite because it can be eaten with hands without utensils.

It is simply a great invention. First, you don't need to wash dishes after eating, and second, it doesn't take up space. The third bite is quick and easy to have meat and bread, and the fourth price is quite affordable. At least he bought it as a soldier. It only costs 9 silver coins, which is not particularly expensive.

Of course, it's not cheap anymore. At this price in the southern part of the Ailan Hill Empire, you can buy almost 10 kilograms of flour, which is enough for a group of people to eat for several days.

However, the soldiers on the front line are very rich, have allowances to get every day, and live a life of licking blood, so they are more willing to spend money on consumption.

Their spending power is also high within the Ailan Hill Empire. Some officers may spend a lot of money in bars or other consumption places. After all, their wages are also considerable.

The Ailanhill Empire has always treated the army very generously, because the entire empire is built on the continuous victory of the army. From the founding of the nation to the present, the Ailan Hill Empire has been expanding without stopping for a moment.

"Well... the sound of this gun is a bit muffled... it's probably a 210mm naval gun? The first time I heard it... I'm really not sure." Burrison stuffed the last piece of burger into his mouth. Said vaguely.

"There is news from the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. The demon forces are fighting back! Can you believe it? They are fighting back!" A battalion officer ran over quickly and reported to the Burrison station sitting on the hatch of the jeep.

"The devil? Counterattack? It's really lively today!" Looking at the direction of the devil's position, Burrison threw the burger wrapper in his hand into a ball at his feet: "Notice 1 company and 2 companies. !Ready to fight!"

"Let those guys know what true despair is!" Smoking out a cigarette and stuffing it into his mouth, Burrison took out a lighter, and the trembling flame illuminated his wolf-like eyes.

The car's engine was started, and the surrounding battalion guards in charge of vigilance were also pulling gun bolts and checking weapons.
