Chapter 1465: Desperate U.S. Infantry
On the heights of Tarawa, ground battles began abruptly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Directly in front of the 112th Infantry Battalion of the US Army, three combat fortresses frantically rushed to the center of the US ballade on the high ground.
On the high ground where the artillery fire stopped, the stunned American soldiers immediately launched a fierce counterattack.
Light and heavy machine gun fire poured down on the three battle fortresses.
In the night, the dense bullets fired by the machine guns fell on the outer armor of the battle fortress like a rain of light with tracer light, and there were sparks from the collision of bullets everywhere.
The sophisticated weaponry of the US military often makes people ignore the combat quality of the US soldiers, and the human war, no matter how good the equipment, also needs excellent soldiers to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the equipment.
In particular, the development of modern weapons and equipment requires personnel who use advanced weapons and equipment to have a certain degree of ability.
In the eyes of the outside world, they can often only see the strength of the US military's weapons and equipment, and ignore the role played by the US soldiers; in fact, the combat capability of the US soldiers is second to none in the world.
Especially for the layout of the battlefield and the coordination of actions, tacit understanding and experience.
At this moment, on the Tarawa Heights, the US soldiers who had endured two rounds of heavy shelling also burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness at the moment when the battle began.
The combination of light and heavy firepower did not cause the firepower output to be too loose because of the vacancy that had previously caused the death of a large number of soldiers.
In the face of the enemy with heavy equipment, under the cover of light and heavy firepower, the fireman also moved quite quickly, and in only five seconds after the light and heavy machine guns sounded, several rockets fell on the body of the battle fortress.
Subsequently, there were also a lot of anti-tank missiles, which also rushed to the battle fortress.
The 112th Infantry Battalion, even if there are less than half of the soldiers left, still burst out with a strong offensive ability.
If it is replaced by a regular armored force, under such an attack, I am afraid that it will have to pay a lot of price.
It is a pity that this time the US military is not facing those second- and third-rate troops, but the Red Guard Corps, which has the world's top strong military level.
Especially in the face of a powerful battle fortress, it is an iron lump, or an iron lump with various weapons.
In the face of the powerful firepower of the American infantry, the speed of the battle fortress did not even have the slightest effect.
The tracks on both sides are protected by heavy armor, and the frontal and side armor is even more than that of the main battle tank.
Under such a defensive force, conventional individual equipment is simply unable to win a battle fortress.
After a dense rain of bullets and artillery fire, the battle fortress did not even come to a standstill under the attack of the American troops, and had already come to the front of the American foxhole.
The counterattack ensued, with the two Gates guns on the roof making a heart-stopping sound of wheels, and a dense rain of tracer light that covered the large number of foxholes around it.
This dense rain of bullets is the most feared thing for every soldier, especially those who can hold it. The long-running high-velocity machine gun was a disaster for the infantry.
The core of the battle fortress is to be able to perfectly restrain the infantry, to be able to effectively kill the infantry, and to ensure that it will not be killed by the infantry.
And this infantry is not just a soldier with a weapon, but also most of the equipment on land.
Long-range artillery and missile and rocket artillery are naturally to say that the core of battle fortress operations is to use their strong mobility to transport troops to the front line, and also act as a front-line firepower point, as a mobile combat bunker, able to move to provide defense and attack on the battlefield.
So this requires Battle Fortress to have more defense, firepower, and, of course, transportation capabilities.
In order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Battle Fortress, Cai Ruichen also put a lot of effort into studying the tactics that cooperate with the Battle Fortress.
What unit is the most effective to cooperate with the battle fortress, from the current units of the Red Police Corps, Cai Ruichen's first choice is the Apocalypse tank and hoplite that can survive in a high-intensity battlefield environment.
After all, the combat mission of the Battle Fortress is to rush into the enemy and start killing. Kill, tear through the enemy's defenses, and destroy the enemy's defensive formations.
And the weapon modules on each battle fortress are also different, and they can even be equipped with a complete set of regional anti-aircraft missiles, of course, they can also be equipped with some miniaturized weapon modules, such as Getter cannons, assault guns, and sniper guns......
Attacking the battle fortress territory on the edge of the foxhole, several secret doors opened, and more than a dozen terrifying robots came out of it, and under the cover of the fire of the battle fortress, they pounced on the American soldiers hidden in the foxhole.
When the 113th Armored Battalion of the US Army came to support, the defense line of the entire 112th Infantry Battalion was about to collapse.
In the face of helpless battle fortresses, it is difficult to destroy them with ground firepower alone, let alone weapons in the hands of infantry, no matter how lethal they are, they are not as lethal as tanks and armored vehicles.
The arrival of the armored battalion gave the remaining American soldiers of the 112th Infantry Battalion a little hope.
However, this hope was quickly dashed.
In the face of the U.S. Abrams main battle tank, the two 120mm main guns on the battle fortress finally began to play a role.
Abrams, who had just entered the high ground, the shells of the main tank guns fell on the armor of the battle fortress, and the armor-piercing shells with tracer were directly ejected when they touched the armor of the battle fortress.
And when facing the two main guns of the battle fortress that are exactly the same as the Apocalypse Tank, they don't even have the ability to resist, and the heavy armor of the Abrams, like paper paste, can be easily penetrated.
This scene was the previous tank battle in Kuwait, and in the face of the extremely powerful Apocalypse main gun, Abrams lost all advantages.
However, what really made the US military desperate was that the arrival of two vanguard armed warships and planes in the sky was another nightmare for the air-ground artillery strikes on the front line of the US army in the entire Tarawa Heights.
Especially for the American soldiers who were hidden in the foxholes, the bullets from the sky did not have any defensive effect at all.
However, the 113th Armored Battalion was really affected, and the Vanguard armed warship aircraft also had two 120mm Apocalypse main guns, as well as two 30mm Getter cannons, and the depleted uranium armor-piercing shells fired could penetrate even the top armor of the main battle tank.
The remaining howitzers of seventy-five mm and one hundred and fifty-five mm calibers, which were used to kill and wound ground infantry.
The firepower of an armed pioneer fighter is comparable to that of an artillery battalion, and even in terms of the lethal effect, it is more intuitive, and the deterrent effect on the ground soldiers is much higher than that of the artillery on the ground.
