The Corpse Day War broke out suddenly in an unexpected way, and ended in an unexpected direction. [No pop-up novel network]

At o'clock in the morning of April Day, the first phase of the comprehensive strategic bombing strike specified in the "timetable for large-scale military operations" officially ended, and the second phase of the limited strike operation officially began. In strict accordance with the commitments made in the "timetable", the country has reduced the intensity of the fight against all droughts and fulfilled its obligations.

After that, the United States and the European Union announced the start of the second phase of humanitarian assistance

Move.

From this time on, the war in Japan gradually came to an end.

In the first stage of a full-scale bombing strike operation. The intensity of the war has not decreased. In accordance with the battle plan proposed by the republic in the "Timetable". Because Japan refused to sign an armistice treaty with the Republic. For the sake of national security and interests, the Republic of Soran must destroy all of Japan's military and heavy industries before reducing the intensity of the strike, break Japan's will to war, eliminate the main threat, and create conditions for a one-sided ceasefire in the second phase.

In the past two months, the six naval and air forces of the Republic of China have gone all out to launch strategic strikes against the Japanese mainland at any cost.

Strictly speaking, 2 months is too rushed.

According to the strategic strike plan drawn up by the General Staff, it will take at least 6 months to destroy all the Daitoyo-type cities in Japan. War is subordinated to politics, and since the Republic must give an account to the whole world to shorten the strike time to two months, the army must complete the strike mission in these two months. For this reason, not only did the Air Force and Navy increase the intensity of strikes, but even the Sixth Army, which was not good at strategic strike operations, participated in combat operations.

It can be said that the performance of the 6th Army of the Republic in these 2 months was very eye-catching.

When assigning strike tasks, the General Staff divided the Japanese mainland into old jin, and the "theaters" were the southern Kyushu theater, namely the "Jishu Theater," the Shikoku theater, the Nishihonshu theater, the Daisen theater, the Ise Suruga theater, the Kanto theater, the Toyama-Issado theater, the Kita-Honshu theater, and the Hokkaido theater, and then assigned the strike tasks and strike forces according to the different theaters.

Judging from the division of theaters, Pei Chengyi definitely hopes that the 6th Army will play an important role.

The 6th Army served as the main striking force in the South Kowloon Theater, the North Kyushu Theater, and the Nishi Honshu Theater. In addition, the 6th Army also participated in strike operations in the Shikoku theater of operations.

Although the 6th Army has a large air force, the main force of the 6th Air Force is all kinds of helicopters and tilt-rotary-wing aircraft, which cannot be used to carry out strategic strike missions. The main striking force of the 6 Army was the artillery that terrified all the enemy, especially long-range artillery.

Because the performance in the Peninsular War was very prominent. Therefore, after the war, the artillery of the 6th Army was comprehensively strengthened and upgraded.

In early February, 6 independent artillery brigades were stationed on Tsushima Island, and the 6th Army Air Assault Force was captured by the 6th Army in the second half of the month, and 3 independent artillery brigades were stationed on Fukue Island, located west of Kyushu. So far, the 6th Army, including the 6th Navy, has deployed a total of old jin on the outer islands near the western part of the Japanese mainland. Artillery brigades, put in all kinds of caliber artillery and long-range rocket artillery!

On the continuous throwing of ammunition, the strong knife door artillery Zhuo Huo recommended cannon is equivalent to! Fight tactical fighters!

In order to support the combat operations of the Sixth Army, the Air Force dispatched two squadrons of thug bars and battlefield surveillance planes, two squadrons of strategic reconnaissance planes equipped with a large number of subordinate reconnaissance equipment, mainly to carry out long-range and long-term strategic reconnaissance, and four squadrons of long-range unmanned reconnaissance to carry out strategic reconnaissance and provide tactical guidance to the targets within the range of the Sixth Army's artillery strikes, as well as to carry out the task of striking and screening.

As soon as the strike began, the long-range artillery of the 6 Army showed amazing combat effectiveness.

The amount of ammunition thrown when fighting is more than 30,000 tons, if calculated according to the destruction effect of ammunition, it is equivalent to 2 catties. The ability of the old series tactical fighters of the wing to fight abundantly.

In February alone, the thug artillery brigade of the 6th Army, including the 6th Navy, dropped nearly 40,000 tons of artillery shells of various types at major and medium-sized cities in the South Kyushu Theater, the North Kyushu Theater, and the West Honshu Theater.

Such a terrifying amount of ammunition is enough to make the air force and navy feel ashamed.

Comparatively speaking, the cost of the 6th Army to undertake strategic strike missions is much lower than that of the Air Force and Navy. Although the high-intensity shelling had a serious impact on the service life of artillery and rocket artillery, a large amount of "consumables" were consumed, and the guns that were damaged in February alone were as many as flying roots. Half of each artillery piece destroys the thug's barrel every two days, but the artillery will not suffer combat losses, will not consume aviation and air fuel, and does not need high-intensity logistical support.

After the war, the Logistics and Equipment Department of the General Staff made statistics on strike operations, and now the cost of a single throw per ton per 100 kilometers is less than a yuan, while the aviation ... The cost of throwing the towel is discussed, and the unit throwing cost of the naval battleship gun is also light... Left and right, the unit throwing cost of the naval group aviation is as high as the thug assistant. If the low cost of ammunition for the 6th Army is included, the strike cost of the 6th Army is only one-third of that of the Air Force and Navy.

Long-term operations, have to consider the cost.

Under the pressure of the international situation, the Republic found a more deadly means of attack, and also rejuvenated the 6th Army.

At the beginning of the month, a test artillery unit of the 6th Army arrived at the seed set to participate in combat operations against the four-nation theater of operations.

The main equipment of the experimental artillery unit is not the traditional artillery, but the first large-caliber long-range electromagnetic cannon developed by the 6th Army, that is, the type of fighter Wu millimeter electromagnetic railgun.

Large-caliber electromagnetic guns were first in service with the Navy, mainly because large naval warships were able to carry large enough guns.

The difficulty of the research and development of the 6th military electromagnetic gun is much higher than that of the naval type, mainly because the "tonnage" of the large-caliber electromagnetic gun is difficult to be effectively controlled. The assembly quality of the navy's concave small electric contact guns is too good to advise tons. There is no problem with the heroic installation on large battleships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons on cruisers and destroyers, but it is certainly a problem to use it on 6 Army tanks with a maximum of only a few tons. Whether the assembly quality can be reduced has become a key issue for large-caliber electromagnetic guns to be widely used in the 6 Army. To this end, the 6th Army thought of a lot of ways.

In the case that the technology is not fully mature, the 6th Army can only find another way.

The simplest way to do this is to "modularize" the artillery systems that should be integrated are distributed across multiple platforms, so that the total mass of the platforms is within the range of the ears and wings. Each battalion is equipped with an out-of-door electromagnetic cannon, a tactical ammunition supply vehicle, a "tactical reconnaissance and command system," a vehicle-mounted power supply system, and a gloved short-range linear microwave power transmission system.

In terms of the number of equipment, its scale is far from that of ordinary artillery battalions and close to artillery brigades, among which only the vehicle-mounted power supply system and the short-range linear microwave electric energy transmission system have many vehicles in the field and need all kinds of technical soldiers. The huge establishment must have a corresponding combat strength, otherwise it will lose its significance in actual combat.

A small electromagnetic cannon that embodies the combat effectiveness of the experimental artillery unit.

Although the 6th Army did not have a unified standard with the Navy before it was officially put into service, the Ministry of Defense adjusted the 6th Army's electromagnetic cannon plan, clearly stating that the 6th Army and the Navy must unify the ammunition standards to reduce the burden of logistics support. Save operating costs and long-term equipment costs. The quality of the shells used is low, but the combat capability of an old type of electric shock gun is still far superior to any conventional artillery in service in the 6th Army, and even a comprehensive long-range rocket artillery.

In terms of range, the maximum effective range is over the meter, and the maximum range is close to the kilometer, which is equivalent to a short-range tactical ballistic missile. In terms of shooting, it can shoot for hours while hitting the hand or at 4 degrees per minute. In comparison, the 6th Army's traditional large-caliber artillery has only two-thirds and one-half less short-term and one-half of the short-term rapid fire and sustained fire, because the ammunition quality is about twice that of ordinary actual ammunition delivery capacity and that of howitzer group guns of the same caliber. In terms of the cost of ammunition throwing, because it uses electricity as all the energy source, its cost is much lower than that of traditional artillery.

Experimental artillery units are certainly an immature combat force.

The biggest problem with the old one was "barrel life." "Orbital life, to be exact. Ordinary large-caliber howitzers at the time of firing at full charge. The life of the barrel is generally more than four days, and the ultimate life of some barrels using high-strength alloys and new processing and production technology is even more than four days. Although high-strength alloy tracks are used, their material strength is much higher than that of ordinary artillery, but in the case of a higher degree of projectile export. The orbital life at maximum range is still not advised. It completely falls short of the requirements of tactical operations.

The advanced nature of the experimental artillery unit is also reflected in the short-range linear microwave electric energy transmission system. The biggest feature of the system is that it realizes the wireless transmission of electric energy, that is, converts electrical energy into microwaves. The microwave energy is converted into electrical energy by high-energy micro-pouring, so that combat units can be deployed in a wider range and are no longer limited by the length of wires. Because the relevant technology is not yet fully mature, the system is still in the experimental stage and does not have the ability to deploy on a large scale for the time being.

The Sixth Army asked the experimental artillery units to participate in the war, not mainly to find out the small performance, but to find out the actual combat effectiveness.

The performance of the old orbital electromagnetic cannon system on the battlefield that can be ashamed of the combat operations that can be used to strike at the Japanese mainland has become a stage for the 6th Army to show its face and test the new equipment, which is enough to make the 6th Army make up its mind to upgrade the artillery unit!
