Chapter 250: Guan Zi Tianxia
Sometimes, human thoughts are actually very simple. This can be clearly seen from the development of certain weapons and equipment.
In the beginning, human cannons were all made of one tube. Then, naturally, in order to increase the rate of fire of the artillery and increase the power of the weapon, some people thought of adding a tube to increase the power.
The reason is actually very simple. It uses the simplest mathematical principle: you see, one plus one always equals two, right?
Therefore, in many cases, human beings start to do addition problems in this direction. Single-barreled anti-aircraft guns do not work, so add a barrel to become a double-barreled anti-aircraft gun. Look, has the firepower density doubled?
Then, after some progress was made, mankind began to go farther and farther on such a road of no return.
The double-barreled gun eventually became a four-barreled gun. So, after the army’s latest air defense weapon appeared, everyone was surprised to find that it was the familiar formula and the familiar taste.
The upgraded product of the zsu-57-2 anti-aircraft gun, of course, has become the zsu-25-4 type! Yes, the double-barreled gun has become a four-barreled gun. The latest type of anti-aircraft gun is the famous foreign version of the Shileka River self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.
Because of the caliber, the Ailan Hill version of the quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft gun has been modified to a 25mm caliber, which is considered to have increased its power, and the caliber is more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, in order to increase the firepower, this kind of addition problem is far from the end. In order to increase the instant firepower pouring ability, the number of gun barrels flew towards the six.
A brand new and exciting super machine gun has been successfully developed and is being deployed to the army. This weapon has a very tall name called "Vulcan". Yes, the six-barreled Vulcan cannon, born in the 1960s, has appeared in Ailan Hill's weapon sequence.
What's more interesting is that after the birth of this Vulcan cannon, the first weapon to be equipped turned out to be an "evil road" aircraft, which is really dumbfounding.
Yes, after the development of the Vulcan Cannon, the first object of equipment was a modified aerial gunboat, that is, Ailan Hill's a-130 attack aircraft!
This improved alien version of the gunboat uses the devil and the puppet’s less powerful anti-aircraft capabilities, and is also aimed at the devil and the puppet’s slightly exaggerated human sea tactics.
When developing this kind of air force weapon, Ailan Hill's ideal state is to first use b-52 or b-17 bombers to carpet a certain theater, and then use a-130 to suppress all ground targets after destroying the enemy.
While equipped with two Vulcan 20mm cannons, the a-130 aerial gunboat is also equipped with two 75mm howitzers.
The reason why the 105mm caliber artillery was not equipped was mainly due to problems such as brakes and the immature fire control system, so the more mature 75 guns were temporarily used instead.
Because of the caliber issue, another Bofors 40mm rapid-fire gun was also unnecessary to install and use, so in the end this gun was replaced with another 75mm caliber gun.
In other words, the Alien version of the a-130 is equipped with two 20mm-caliber Vulcan guns and two 75mm-caliber infantry guns. Although the firepower has been discounted, the focus is on unified caliber and sufficient logistical support.
The most interesting thing is that when they had the 6-tube Vulcan cannon, the engineers of Ailan Hill were still not satisfied. When they developed the latest attack aircraft, they adopted a new 7-tube 30mm caliber cannon. .
This kind of cannon is very powerful and can easily sweep all targets on the path. Its weight is amazing, and its rate of fire is shockingly terrible. It came out entirely to equip Ailan Hill's most advanced attack aircraft.
Who can imagine that the human imagination is so limited. When they increase their firepower, they just stack all their hopes one-sidedly on the increase in the number of barrels.
You know, the theoretical rate of fire of the dual-barreled 57mm anti-aircraft gun is only about 200 rounds per minute.
The latest zsu-25-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun issued to the Army’s air defense forces has a rate of fire of nearly 1,000 rounds per minute.
When it comes to the six-barreled Vulcan cannon, the a-130 can theoretically pour 2500 shells per minute at the target, and the two Vulcan cannons add up to 5000 rounds!
Although the gun-8 air cannon with seven barrels has a rate of fire reduced to 2000 rounds per minute, it can fire a 30mm-caliber air ammunition, which theoretically has a stronger firepower dumping capability.
This is actually just the beginning, because there is a weapon system developed for future warships in the technical department, with 11 barrels, which can pour a full 11,000 rounds of 30mm shells at the target every minute...
Ever since I saw Senior Mage Vivian, Ailan Hill's phobia of insufficient firepower has pervaded and penetrated into every corner of his bones. Who would have thought that the various weapons and equipment that have been developed to this day are still worried about their lack of power?
You know, this kind of future artillery can pour more than 160 rounds of shells at the target every minute. If necessary, these shells can be armor-piercing shells, enough to break high-level magical defense barriers in an instant.
And the barrage formed by this weapon in a few seconds can cover the entire magician's trajectory. Just give it two seconds of reaction time, and it can end anything that enters its range.
If one day human beings invent a 22-barreled super artillery in order to enhance their firepower, everyone must not be too surprised. After all, this is human’s unique understanding of weapons and the essence of human Guanzi civilization.
Of course, this is just an idea of a kind of weaponry that will equip the troops in the future, and the troops still cannot enjoy the firepower advantage brought by such terrible weapons. However, whether it is the zsu-25-4 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun or the a-130 aerial gunboat, they are all new weapons in service.
After these weapons appeared, Ailan Hill's firepower advantage became more obvious. This is an overwhelming advantage, especially in the direction where the combat intensity is not so strong, the advantage is even more obvious.
Do you remember the fear that the dragon brought to mortals? Now, when an a-130 aerial gunboat with more than 10 tons of ammunition appears over the southern theater of Ailan Hill, who can imagine its dominance?
When this a-130 flies around a city, it looks like a giant mechanical dragon, staring at its prey.
"Um, can you beat this **** guy down?" Pressing the long sword around his waist, on the head of the Jesno Empire, a general asked his aides in depression.
"General, whether it's a catapult or a ballista, or the soldiers' bows and arrows, there is nothing to do with that big guy..." An old aide replied, "We have tried all of them, and there is no weapon to hit that kind. height."
"Ours is a hinterland city more than 100 miles away from the front line! The enemy just came in?" The city guarding general pointed at the a-130 and shouted bitterly.
The main forces are deployed on the front line. Of course, troops equipped with Mauser rifles and 30mm anti-aircraft guns cannot stay in the hinterland cities. In order to prevent Ailan Hill from breaking through the border, most of the troops equipped with firearms were in the north.
In order to invade the Palak Empire, the rest of the Jesno Empire was fighting in the south, so the defense here is basically the same as it was 5 years ago.
There was no such an empire as Ailan Hill five years ago, so you can imagine the level of weapons and equipment here: ballistas and catapults are arranged at the head of the city, and soldiers are equipped with bows and spears.
Well, anyhow they have a heavy armor, just don’t know if they can withstand the 20mm Vulcan machine gun...
This is simply the most ideal place to use the aerial gunboat, because the anti-aircraft weapons here basically rely on the animal's tendons as the launching power...
On earth, even on the most backward and closed battlefield in the 21st century, the a-130 will face the danger of Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. But here, the a-130 just needs to be careful, don't be hit by a stone.
Therefore, in the slightly bumpy plane, a few soldiers easily put their thumbs up and shouted at the tape recorder: "The 22nd actual test of a-130 air gunboat suppression attack! Start!"
"Tutu! Tutu! Boom! Boom!" This a-130 flew around the city like a vulture. The two Vulcan cannons on one side and the 75mm infantry gun played a magnificent movement.
Following the trajectory of the aircraft, the tracer was woven into a huge funnel-shaped light curtain in the sky. The city shrouded by the shells was instantly covered by chaotic smoke and dust, and the original situation was no longer clear.
"What does our Majesty think? Go to war against such an enemy?" On the head of the city, the general holding the sword looked at the firepower he had never seen in his entire life, and questioned the staff around him dumbfounded.
"I...I don't know... what he thinks... Maybe he is crazy, maybe we are crazy too..." The old staff swallowed a mouthful of saliva and saw that a piece of the city was smashed into a sieve by a tracer. After being hit by a 75mm caliber shell, it collapsed and replied melancholy.
In his opinion, even if it is a giant dragon, it should take some effort to destroy such a city, right? This monster pouring ammunition around in a circle in front of him is simply more terrifying than a giant dragon.
They don't know yet, because they have to leave some cities as weapons test sites, they are lucky here. Behind them, those cities more than 200 kilometers away from the front line are facing the b-25 bomber that obscures the sky...
These planes were eliminated from the Western Front, and now they are all sent to the Southern Front... The good days of the Mortal Empire Jessnow are over.
