In the evolution of the history of warfare, artillery assumed the task and position, and with the development of war modernization and informationization, it has become more and more weakened. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, it is undeniable that in today's information-based warfare, artillery still has its own unique position, which cannot be replaced by any missile or weapon.

Even those as strong as the U.S. Army and Marine Corps have a full artillery buildup.

Although there are no more than 100 guns and hundreds of artillery pieces at every turn, and it is impossible to have the magnificent scene of 10,000 guns fired by the Soviet Union in World War II, the power of modern artillery has not diminished in the slightest.

At this moment, on both sides of the Tarawa Heights, both the Red Guard Corps and the US Army are actually well aware of the need for artillery support.

Although it was very difficult, the US artillery also tried to destroy the artillery positions of the Red Guard Corps, but this time the US army encountered an opponent who was too strong in a local war.

The advanced equipment of the Red Police Corps can almost completely defeat the US military in local wars and under traditional confrontation.

The history of artillery development has lasted for hundreds of years, from ancient siege cannons to modern self-propelled guns.

If the rank is used to represent every revolution and life progress in the development of traditional charge artillery, then by the time of modern self-propelled artillery, the technology of artillery has reached the level of imminent full level.

And the Pacifier can be said to be the pinnacle of the development of charge artillery technology. Peaks, which represent the limits of the development of charge artillery, can also be described almost in two words: perfect.

When modern self-propelled guns meet pacifiers, the gap becomes apparent at once.

The ground battle had not yet begun, and with two rounds of firepower, a battalion of self-propelled howitzers of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the United States had already been wiped out.

Eighteen artillery pieces, most of which were directly destroyed, and the rest were all incapacitated.

And such a result, the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade is unwilling, and can only choose to accept it, and then prepare for the next battle.

It's just that the ground battle came much faster than the U.S. military expected, and the second round of fire coverage on the Tarawa Heights had not yet ended, and the assault company's seven combat fortresses had already rushed to the periphery of the Tarawa Heights.

The intensity of the firepower covering the second round of the pacifier is much weaker, and the two-barreled pacifier is one on top of two, but the actual fire density is only seven tranquilizers, but it is not inferior to a reinforced artillery battalion.

Even if it is countless times smaller than the momentum of more than 300 shells falling at the same time in the first round of shelling, the sound and power of the explosion of one shell have not been reduced in the slightest.

The shock of the explosion of a 155-mm high-explosive grenade can be easily felt even if it is a kilometer or two away from the center of the explosion.

At this moment, almost all the American soldiers are lying dead in their foxholes, hoping that God will not let the shells fall on their side.

Some U.S. soldiers even huddled together in fear, after all, U.S. soldiers have always been fighting smoothly, and there has never been a thing of huddled in a single pit and subjected to shelling.

The huge shock of the artillery bombardment was like a war drum beating in the hearts of every American soldier, and soon another sound also reached the ears of American soldiers, which was the sound of the crawler crushing stones, and the squeak of the transmission of the track.

At the same time, in the ears of all the American soldiers, almost all of them heard the battle order shouted by the sergeant major at the top of his voice, and the enemy came up and prepared for battle.

But when the American soldiers popped out half of their heads and saw the so-called enemy, their faces changed, and what appeared in their eyes was not the imaginary armored vehicles and tanks, nor the soldiers who followed the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

There was only a huge iron head, and it was climbing rapidly up the slopes of the Tarawa Heights.

The American soldiers, who had never seen such a large piece of iron, were all a little confused.

"Oh God, what the hell is this?"

"God must be joking with us, is this big black guy the secret equipment of the Isu-Syria Federation?"

"It's so huge, what kind of power does it use, how does it defend, it won't be killed with one shot!"

"It's like a living coffin that can move on the ground, I don't want to fight in such a big guy, it's too dangerous."

……

When the American soldiers came back to their senses, they immediately talked about it, and after the initial shock disappeared, there was only an instinctive ridicule.

After all, for the infantry, especially for the infantry in the modern war environment, such a big man is simply a moving live target, and in their opinion, all kinds of powerful individual firepower are enough to turn the big piece of iron in front of them into a living coffin.

However, then, the moment the battle fortress unfolded its combat posture, all the American soldiers' faces changed.

On the track, the left and right two long barrels like mechanical arms are deployed, and the 120 mm gun muzzles emit a faint glow.

In the middle of the barrels of the two mechanical arms, the armed modules were all exposed, and the cold muzzles made all the American soldiers can't help but tears and saliva, and they all have a chilling feeling.

The sound of instinctive discussion stopped abruptly, and at this moment, even fools could see that this big piece of iron fluttering the battle flag of the Isu-Syrian Federation was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

And all the American soldiers suddenly found that this big guy was accelerating evenly on the way up the Tarawa Heights.

It was only when the war fortress began to take a combat stance that the shelling of the pacifiers stopped.

Just as the American soldiers in front of him were about to attack, the battle fortress suddenly became like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, and the speed that seemed to be slow was suddenly galloping in the roar of the engine.

The speed has been relatively slow compared to before, and it has increased several times at once, originally only about 20 kilometers per hour, but now it is faster than 70 kilometers per hour.

This is a miracle for a large man with a total combat weight of nearly two hundred tons, or a tracked walking method.

The previous battle fortress was not unable to run, but to avoid entering the range of the pacifier's firepower.

As for mobility, Battle Fortress is large but also highly mobile.

Mobility, firepower, and protection are the conditions that must be met by the main equipment for ground operations.

Naturally, Battle Fortress is no exception, and compared to the Apocalypse Tank, the combat effectiveness of Battle Fortress is even higher.
