0706 Battle of New York (XXVI)
0706
Despite this, when it was discovered that the Sijingren combat boats appeared, these M Army fighters also arrived immediately, first firing a salvo of medium-range air-to-air missiles, shooting down some of the Wind Rider combat boats and disrupting their formation, which provided a certain help for the success rate of the second round of missile firing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The interception efficiency of the interceptor missiles of the Wind Rider Combat Boat will be significantly reduced if the formation is disrupted, and they will not be able to organize an effective and dense fire network, and most of these Wind Riders spend most of their time constantly dodging the missiles fired at them, and they can also assist each other in shooting down the missiles attacking friendly forces when they are not in formation.
In addition, the rear positions of the M Army also reacted at the same time, although there was some influence of electronic interference, but fortunately, the M Army was already prepared for combat in an electronic jamming environment, so a large number of anti-aircraft missiles were launched into the air regardless of the cost, and cooperated with the fighters in the air to attack those Wind Rider combat boats.
As exploding fireballs continued to appear in the sky, the battle on the ground was completely heated.
Due to the timely attack of the M army, a large-scale forced attack on the front of the Sijing people from the other direction, and the Sijing troops who were originally staying in place were completely unable to resist the offensive of the M army due to insufficient troops, which made the Sijing people in charge of the command hesitate, and they could not decide whether to divide their troops back to resist the attack of the M army, or continue to maintain the current situation, and solve the task force first and then deal with the M army.
But soon, they won't need to hesitate any more. Several shells far more powerful than the M Army's pacifier artillery landed accurately on the Sijing troops, and one of the shells even hit a devourer who was about to attack the task force's tank!
When the huge fireball dissipated, the Devourer's shield disappeared completely, and the surface of the hull armor was in tatters, and it was completely impossible to see what it had looked like before. In addition, half of the barrel of this Devourer is gone, and the fracture is as if it has been torn apart, which is miserable.
Losing the shield, losing the main weapon, and the armor was also seriously damaged, this Devourer, which originally belonged to the attack, had to retreat, after all, even if it was a mass-produced cannon fodder mechanical weapon, the Devourer was also a relatively high-end cannon fodder in the eyes of the Sijing people, and it would naturally not give up casually if it could be recovered and repaired. And fortunately, the shelling just now has not destroyed its suspension system, and it can continue to operate.
It's just that no human is going to let it go like that, and a task force tank is eyeing the Devourer as it retreats. If the Devourer hadn't moved, someone might have looked away and let it go as if it had been destroyed, but when it moved, it immediately caught someone's attention.
Eyeing this Devourer was a Shepherd tank, and the advanced fire control and observation system immediately discovered its movements, and the commander of the vehicle reactively sent the target data to the gunner, and the gunner did not ask much, and directly turned the muzzle and aimed at the target.
Don't look at the main gun caliber of the Shepherd tank is the same as that of the pillar super heavy tank, which is 150 mm, but the main gun used by the Shepherd tank is an electric cannon.
The electric cannon is one of the members of the electric cannon family. An electric cannon is a firing device that uses electrical energy to heat a working fluid in whole or in part to propel a projectile. Generally speaking, there are two types of electric heating cannons: one is to use high-power pulse power supply discharge or make the heating wire electrically explode to produce plasma to heat the working fluid, so that the working fluid expands violently to promote the projectile launch. This is called an electric heating cannon, or a direct-heating electric cannon. The other is to use the generated plasma to heat other light working fluids with more mass and low molecular weight, so that they can emit chemical reactions to generate hot gas (containing a small amount of plasma), and push the projectile with the expansion of hot gas and unreacted working fluid. This is called an electrothermochemical cannon, or an interthermal electric cannon. The working fluid used in this kind of electric heating cannon is called energetic working fluid, and in terms of principle and structure, there is only a difference in working fluid between electric heating cannon and electrothermochemical cannon. Both guns are electric cannons. Since there is little electromagnetic force in the principle of an electric cannon to use as an acceleration force, an electric cannon is not an electromagnetic gun. The work of the electric cannon is inseparable from the working fluid.
The electric heating cannon used by the Shepherd tank is the direct heating electric heating gun that belongs to the first category. In addition to protecting their own electromagnetic railgun technology, but also because the power of conventional artillery in various countries is already a bit unbearable for the Sijing people, there must be a more powerful weapon to replace it, of course, the electromagnetic railgun is impossible, the iron eagle also needs to maintain technical superiority, and the electric cannon has naturally become the most suitable alternative for now.
The reason for choosing the electric heating cannon is, first, the technical structure of the electric heating cannon is simple. Of course, this is compared to electromagnetic railguns, electromagnetic coil guns and other pure electromagnetic accelerated propulsion weapons, but it is slightly more complex than conventional chemical artillery. Some electric cannons, under lower conditions, can even be directly converted from conventional guns.
Second, the composition of the drive gas can be selected and controlled. The ****** composition of conventional artillery has been fixed, so the chemical energy content and molecular composition have been determined; Most of the electric heating cannons can use various light working fluids or propellants with high energy content as driving working fluids according to the required purpose, which is conducive to improving the performance of the electric heating cannon and reducing the weight and volume of the cannon.
Thirdly, the electric cannon has a high impedance. Many electric cannons are discharged in capillary discharge tubes or insulated light working fluids, exhibiting high load impedances during discharge, especially in the early stages. The high impedance is beneficial for improved emission efficiency and a wide range of power sources are available.
Fourth, the consumption ratio of electric heating guns is high. The cost of most electric cannons (such as paraffin wax and water) is extremely low, and the structure of the cannons is simple, so the consumption of electric cannons is higher than that of other electromagnetic guns. It can be manufactured in large quantities in a very short period of time, and the cost is not too high.
With the above reasons, while increasing the power of human weapons to a limited extent, it cannot be improved too much, and it also allows its own side to maintain its technological superiority, so in this case, the Shepherd Tank (export type) chose the electric cannon as the main weapon.
The difference between the power of the electric cannon and the regular chemical cannon was not obvious until the Devourer had a shield, and unless you looked closely, in a place where the battle was so fierce, no one would notice how many shots were used to destroy the Devourer, and how many shots were used by the Pillar Tank.
The Devourer, with its shields and armor badly damaged, was hit right by the connection between the hull and the turret with a shot from the electric cannon of the Shepherd tank - a huge blue fireball burst out from here, enveloping the entire hull, and a huge shock wave and a large number of debris were violently sprayed in all directions! A few of the closer Smasher infantry were even torn to pieces by the blast and hull fragments!
"Looks like it hit the energy self-detonation system." The sudden explosion even attracted the attention of Rex and the others, and the Iron Eagle officers, who knew more about the structure of the Sijing people's vehicle than others, immediately understood what was going on there.
"The shelling just now, it doesn't look like the artillery of the M Army?" Additional questions were raised.
"It's more powerful. Probably our artillery. "The answer to this question is also the officer of Iron Eagle," I received news earlier that a new self-propelled gun developed by us has been shipped to country M, with a caliber of 200 mm cannon. With such a large caliber, the power of the shell will naturally be greater. Compared with the pacifiers, the pacifiers emphasize the ability of single vehicle firepower, and our Iron Eagle only emphasizes the power, and pays attention to the problems that can be solved by a few cannons with one shot. ”
No matter what the task force officers were talking about, at least the armored troops on the front line were still desperately engaged with the forces of the Sijing people. Even if the previous bombardment had destroyed a small number of Scyclian troops and vehicles, it was still at a disadvantage to these human armored forces. Although their main targets of attack and destruction before were focused on the Devourer Levitator Tank, the troops sent by the Sijing people to deal with them were not only Devourers, there were also more light armored vehicles such as Seekers and walking cannons, and with the powerful plasma weapons of the Sijing people, even human heavy armored vehicles could not easily ignore them.
The only good situation is that after a fierce battle, this originally spacious main road is littered with the wreckage of all kinds of destroyed vehicles, both human and Sijing. This caused the other vehicles behind the sides to either risk the exposed chassis to flip over the wreckage, or to bypass or push the wreckage. This, in turn, increases the amount of time spent in battle.
The task force is actually okay here, anyway, the M army has already launched a strong attack, and depending on the situation, the offensive is quite fierce, they only need to contain the Sijing people for a while longer, and they can even wait for the M army to attack in the same place, and then the M army will naturally deal with the rest of the matter. But the Sijing people can't do it, they don't have enough troops at this time, and they are constantly hit by long-range artillery fire, and it is impossible to divide their forces to defend, so they can only concentrate their forces to do other things. That is to concentrate forces, break through the two-sided attack of the human forces, and retreat to their own control zone or directly back to the landing site area. Clear-eyed people know that this protrusion, Sijing people can't hold it.
But after a few minutes, the pace of the attacking M Army slowed down. It's not that they want to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the task force, it's impossible, you know, Iron Eagle's strength in the task force is actually not much, and the task force still has their own soldiers in it. The pace of their attack slowed down, only because on the flanks of the attacking force, new Sijing troops appeared. This was when the other Sijing commanders on the defensive line found out that the situation in the salient was very bad, and they squeezed some troops from between their teeth to support the defenders of the salient as reinforcements.
Although the reinforcements were not large, at least they delayed the movement of Army M, which put a lot of pressure on the contingent's side. (To be continued.) )
