The lethality of artillery is best in the first round of shelling, so whether a gun is excellent or not, rapid fire performance indicators, is very important.

Within a minute, it is possible to pour as many shells as possible into the enemy's position in order to give the enemy the most effective damage.

Otherwise, in general, at the time of the first shells, the enemy will begin to take refuge in cover.

In modern warfare, too.

After setting the target for the shelling, the two self-propelled artillery batteries were all engaged in a short period of rapid fire.

Shells were quickly rained down on various targets in the city, especially the city hall of Raqqa, which was already very damaged, and after suddenly receiving several rounds of 175 mm heavy shells, the remaining four floors of the main building structure collapsed directly.

There were also Kurdish soldiers inside, all buried under the rubble, and many more were killed directly by shells.

At the same time, other important bases of Kurdish forces in Raqqa have also been destroyed, and the police station, which was finally repaired, has completely collapsed into ruins.

Several training camps received from ISIS were also covered by artillery fire.

The lethality of twenty-four heavy artillery pieces is extremely terrifying when dealing with such a point target.

Not to mention the more advanced artillery and greatly improved accuracy, the gunpowder that has exploded with greater power has become the swan song of many Kurdish armed soldiers.

Only those armed soldiers scattered early on the corners of the city and at the corners of the streets were spared, and were able to avoid being targeted by shelling.

The entire shelling lasted a long time. Except for the rapid fire at the beginning, the rest was all slow shelling, purely for the purpose of making up the knife.

However, at the time when the Kurdish forces were experiencing shelling. The air assault battalion also arrived in time, and the ground forces had already divided into four columns by this time and were heading towards the city of Raqqa.

The air assault battalion formed several attack formations, led by Hind helicopter gunships, and rushed into the air towards the city of Raqqa.

The Air Assault Battalion is a fully formed helicopter battalion with two helicopter gunship companies and three transport helicopter companies. Specially transport the marine soldiers of the air assault battalion to enter the city and seize the commanding heights of the city. Provide cover for troops on the ground offensive.

The armed helicopter is naturally to provide cover for the transport helicopter and protect the transport helicopter, so that the soldiers in the aircraft can be smoothly put on the battlefield.

When the air commandos entered the city of Raqqa. Kurdish armed soldiers inside the city. Counterattacks also began.

Kurdish forces, which do not have any effective means of air defense, try to attack helicopters in the sky with heavy machine guns and rocket launchers on board.

But there were Hind attack helicopters at the front, and in the direction of the offensive, many Kurdish soldiers, almost did not have a good chance to shoot.

Because the helicopters are all moving at high speed, they are not hovering somewhere at all, and they want to attack such helicopters in the city. Good range of vision is required.

Try to hide in alleys or corners between houses and attack helicopters in the sky. By the time you see it, the helicopters have already flown over.

The higher the city building, the safer it is for helicopters.

And those armed personnel who come forward to attack the helicopter often have already discovered them before they can make a move.

In addition, many commanding heights in the city have long been occupied by two special operations units, and the special forces of the two detachments have also begun to assist the air assault battalions to eradicate the threat on the ground.

A large number of transport helicopters entering the city also quickly hovered over the commanding heights of the city, and a large number of Red Alert soldiers quickly rappelled to the landing point, controlling the commanding heights of the houses, and the direction of progress under the offensive line of the ground troops.

As a large number of commandos landed in the city, the Kurdish fighters could no longer care about the helicopters in the sky, and began to engage with the commandos in close combat.

An air assault battalion can quickly transport two infantry companies to the battlefield, and at this moment, when the two assault companies have successfully landed in the city, the main forces of the two battalions on the ground have also entered the city.

However, to the surprise of many soldiers, before they saw the enemy in the city, they saw many reporters who were not afraid of death, and they actually drove cars to follow the shooting.

Many of these reporters are also foreign reporters, and there are even two documentary shooting teams that have also filmed with them.

However, the Red Guard Corps did not stop such filming, because the live broadcast reporter team of the future media company also followed the troops to shoot.

And it still uses 360-degree optical capture and shooting without dead angles, and the shooting picture will soon become the material for the live broadcast of future media companies.

For this war, the future technology group is also ready for propaganda, after all, to show a strong side, it needs to be seen by the whole world.

From the beginning of the shelling, the shooting work began, and even on the helicopters, all the pods for shooting were added, and the entire battlefield was filmed.

As for the Kurdish soldiers, they didn't know that they would be on TV soon, but they knew that it was the same thing, because on TV, at best, it was a picture of their death.

In fact, all the Kurdish soldiers, where do they have the time and energy to care about these things, as a large number of troops begin to enter the city, their situation begins to become difficult.

Trying to use the terrain of the city to fight an urban offensive and defensive battle, but there is also a certain strength as support.

And whether it is the gap in equipment or the gap in the combat quality of individual soldiers, it has reached the point where it cannot be made up, not to mention that in the city, there is no help from people and people, and in terms of geography, it is completely unacceptable.

It is almost impossible to try to block the offensive of the Red Guard Corps with urban street fighting.

When the city's main east road and north-south main road were all broken through by rows of tanks, the space of Kurdish soldiers in the city was completely compressed.

The main battle tanks lined up in columns, like a sharp sword, pierced towards the center of the city.

The armored vehicles in the rear are using their high-speed maneuverability to seize all the intersections along the way and control the city step by step.

The main thing is that the war came too suddenly, and the Kurdish forces did not have time to plant bombs or mines in the city, and they could not stop the advance of the tanks, otherwise they could still cause some trouble for the Red Guard.

Of course, even if there is trouble, it is a minor trouble. (To be continued.) )
