Chapter 353: Disable

"I heard that it is forbidden to use cluster bombs to attack Ronshek... I don't know why." On the rocket unit's position, an Ailan Hill artillery asked his well-informed comrades.

Just now, the Guardian rockets fired a salvo to the enemy's position, and a lot of the dust blown up by the rocket tail flames filled the surrounding air.

The large rocket launcher has a very important position in the artillery of Ailan Hill, on the one hand because of its fierce firepower and strong suppressing force. On the other hand, it is because the rocket launch vehicle has a wheeled carrier, which can keep up with the advance speed of the armored force.

And the highly valued rocket artillery unit is also equipped with many dazzling types of rockets: large-scale ground penetrating bombs, ordinary rockets, powerful cloud explosive bombs, and famous cluster bombs.

However, in the battle against Ronšek, the rocket artillery unit was strictly prohibited from using cluster bombs. I heard that it was an order from the Supreme Command.

"You can be regarded as asking the right person about this. Didn't I go to the regiment headquarters? I heard from the head of the regiment that there was a problem with the use of cluster bombs at Ferry City. All cluster bombs must be checked... "The well-informed soldier replied.

In fact, this matter is also very speechless, that is, when fighting in Ferry City, Ailan Hill's artillery unit used a lot of cluster bombs in order to deal with the demon forces.

Although the effect is good when fighting against the devil, the cluster bomb has a fatal flaw, or it can't be said to be a flaw, but a characteristic. This feature is that part of the scattered submunitions of the cluster bomb is easy to fail to detonate normally.

This probability is between 20% and 30%. In other words, if a hundred sub-munitions are scattered, there are about 30 bombs that cannot be exploded on the spot.

In this way, these bombs will become booby traps that will explode at any time and become an unstable security hazard.

During the reconstruction of Dukou City, a cluster bomb submunition that did not detonate suddenly exploded, killing three construction workers and wounding four others. This incident has attracted the attention of many people and has also delayed the reconstruction of Dukou City.

Therefore, Chris had to issue an order, ordering Wagron to use cluster bombs with caution, so as not to be accidentally injured by his own ammunition after regaining enemy occupation.

As a result, Wagron ordered the troops to reduce the use of cluster bombs, especially in accordance with the offensive plan on the front of their own offensive. These places will soon become passages to ensure that Ailan Hill’s main forces attack southwest and stay behind. The hidden danger is to trouble yourself.

Fortunately, there are other types of ammunition available for Ailan Hill’s rocket launchers: at least, Cloudburst is a high-power type of ammunition that is not banned.

When the two people were talking, the loading truck behind them was busy, and the robotic arm was loading guard rockets into the rocket launching nest.

In a place farther away, in the traditional artillery position, hundreds of pastor self-propelled artillery are constantly pouring ammunition onto the enemy's position.

These have no turrets, and the combat compartment is an open-type World War II self-propelled artillery, and the performance is actually only average.

However, there are too many m4 tanks produced by Ailan Hill. Transforming into a self-propelled artillery for artillery who lacks motor vehicles is obviously a good way to use waste.

Therefore, although the production line of the m4 tank has not been discontinued, the m4 tank produced by it is no longer equipped for the tank unit of Ailan Hill.

Part of the m4 tanks were exported to the Eternal Empire and the Norma Empire, as well as the Palak Empire, a servant country of Ailan Hill in the south. This part of the tank is sold to allies as war aid materials, the purpose is to help these allies, as much as possible to stabilize their own front.

There is also a part of the m4 tanks produced, only the chassis of the m4 tank. These chassis have been modified into emergency repair vehicles, engineering vehicles, rocket launch vehicles, and most importantly self-propelled artillery!

Artillery who lacked self-propelled artillery were of course willing to take over such modified weapons, because if they did not accept it, there was no newer weapon that could replace the priest’s self-propelled artillery.

Therefore, such self-propelled howitzers with mediocre performance, poor protection, and small caliber are becoming more and more in Ailan Hill's troops.

Thinking about it, this is indeed a dumbfounding thing: one day in the future, there may be an interesting combination among the armored forces of Ailan Hill. The priest's self-propelled howitzer of World War II will cover the t-72 tank. Fight...

Of course, the stylish Air Force is also heavily equipped with Il-2 attack aircraft and B-25 and B-17 bombers. What can the Army have to complain about?

"Sir!" Next to the artillery firing position, in a temporarily dug bunker, an officer is reporting the consumption of ammunition to his top commander: "We have fired 17 salvos...estimate the enemy's position. No one will be alive anymore..."

Half an hour ago, their artillery's own observation post sent back news that they couldn't hear the puppet empire's artillery returning.

In fact, the artillery of the Puppet Empire indeed gave up the struggle more than half an hour ago. After being pressed twice, they finally realized a very serious and very real problem: they really seemed to be unable to beat the huge artillery force of Ailan Hill...

"Don't worry, those enemies are similar to rats. No matter how you shell them, many people will survive in the end." The artillery commander in the bunker seemed more experienced, and smiled and told his men: "Keep firing! "

Not far from this headquarters, a priest's self-propelled howitzer suddenly stopped back, and the muzzle expelled a burst of intertwined fire and smoke.

In the open battle room, after a loader waited for the artillery to return to its place, he opened the breech bolt, letting a hot shell of a cannonball roll to the floor, making a clinking sound.

Then, another loader waited for the barrel to cool down, pushed the prepared shell into the barrel, and then closed the breech with a smooth motion.

At the same time, another "priest" next to the priest's self-propelled artillery also fired a shell.

This kind of firing seems to be regular, charming, and has its own unique rhythm. In the distance, Long Shek shivered and trembled amid the rumble of Ailan Hill's cannons. It was already a thick smoke that the Ailan Hill grenadiers couldn't be more familiar with.
