16. Fortress VS Fortress (32)

The mainstream airborne tactics of the defense forces are divided into two categories: parachute and airborne, and parachute tactics are not much different from those in another world, and the main difference is in airborne tactics. Due to the difference in technological development, the airborne landing tactics of the defense forces are closer to landing on the beach.

Different from the high starting point, high cost and high accident rate of the development of vertical take-off and landing technology in another world, the floating ship in this world is a cheap and fairly objective vertical take-off and landing platform, and there may be nothing worth mentioning in technology, but even the safety and reliability of the early sail floating ship is much higher than the "Osprey" tiltrotor made by Midi, who has mastered the core technology. After the defense forces introduce a large number of new materials and technologies, the giant floating landing ships that have the tonnage and load of the Titanic, do not need a dedicated airport, and only need a sufficiently open flat ground to carry out the landing will naturally eliminate various transport aircraft schemes. Vertical airborne operations, similar to beach-rushing landings, have become the mainstream of airborne operations.

In the family of floating landing ships of the Wehrmacht, the "Lund Bell" stands out from the crowd. As the pioneer of the first type of assault landing ship, this battleship with the task of technical verification is piled up with a large amount of advanced equipment, and the cost is close to that of the Derflinger class, which is a circle larger than her. It became the third place in the cost ranking of the Defense Air Force, the runner-up was naturally the De Fllinger class, and the champion was the general flagship "Emperor".

The Lund Bell has a standard displacement of 30,500 tons, a full load displacement of 31,100 tons, a length of 253.2 meters, a beam of 46 meters, an altitude of 7,500 meters, and a maximum speed of 82 kilometers per hour. With a capacity of up to 2,000 soldiers and 600 crew members at a time, the ship's dedicated warehouse can store supplies for a month's worth of living for 2,600 people, as well as supplies for a week's continuous operation by an armored battalion or an Panzergrenadier regiment.

In addition to its carrying capacity, the ship has enough firepower to impress anyone. Don't forget, her title is "Assault", and before the landing on the airborne, the Lund Bell will first clear all obstacles from the landing site with two 110mm linear railguns on both sides of the ship and four twin 155mm high-level dual-purpose naval guns on the bow and above. When the landing ground is emptied and the landing force and supplies are dropped, four 7-barreled 30mm rapid-fire guns and six twin 88mm anti-aircraft guns will support a safe sky with barrage.

It is enough to fight a battle with a regular warship, and can also independently suppress the beachhead, dense anti-aircraft firepower, plus a full set of command facilities set up for commanding landing operations, a large number of communication equipment, data transmission systems, and combat command centers. The Lund Bell is arguably the most suitable vessel for the flagship of the Iserlohn Battery Fleet. Colonel Parsifal would command the commander of the Second Cruiser Fleet, who was responsible for the air defense of the battery, and in addition to his own ability, the performance of the Lund Bell was also a major reason.

Sitting on the bridge and looking at the continuously climbing points of light in the radar interface, Parsifal did not say a word.

Modern warship management has introduced quite a lot of modern elements such as management, but it is still difficult to erase the ancient paternalistic management, and the relationship between the members of the warship is more like a hierarchical family, and the captain is the parent who controls everything. The captain's actions have a direct impact on the crew, and no matter what the situation, the captain must maintain and fully demonstrate his authority to ensure that the crew can make the most of their abilities and performance.

Parsifal is generally a man who lacks domineering, but whenever he is deep in thought, the crew also feels inexplicably relieved. The uneasiness and nervousness caused by the unusual performance of the enemy ship quickly disappeared.

Observing the point of light that had climbed to 8,500 meters, Parsifal sketched the outline of his opponent's tactics in his mind.

-- High-altitude breakthrough and landing operations.

Relying on "some means", climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then descend at a high speed at an angle almost perpendicular to the ground, and in the process of descent, use gravitational acceleration to continuously increase the speed, and finally break through the anti-aircraft fire network in one breath, destroy or capture the battery.

- It's going crazy.

Even if Parsifal is asked to evaluate it himself, there is only one sentence. But from Charlemagne's point of view, they couldn't have done better.

Charlemagne's technological and industrial production capacity was far behind Alfheim, and he had a demographic advantage, but he could not convert this advantage into a combat power that could overwhelm his opponents. In order to reverse the decline, evil ways such as suicide attacks have long been rampant on the battlefield, and for this country that cannot survive without going crazy, no matter how crazy the plan is, as long as there is a slim possibility, they will not hesitate to carry it out. What's more, the success of this plan has not been so low that it makes people desperate.

Vertical Dive - Descend at the fastest speed with the smallest bomb area. If you don't have enough elevation and density to prevent and control fire, just wait for a one-way ride to Valhalla. If you meet someone who is slower, you will hang up before you can figure out what is going on.

With the size of the Iseron Battery, even a blind bat would not be able to miss, and if this enemy was really blind like that, there would be no way. But if its final landing point is in front of the battery, that's fine. Falling behind a turret would be troublesome. You must know that batteries and trenches are used to defend the front, and it can be said that there is almost no defense against attacks from behind. Even an infantry detachment infiltrating the rear of the line could be extremely harmful. Right now, the guy who went to the sky on a dirt plane in front of him wouldn't be a scumbag with a combat strength of only 5.

"The Holy Maiden of Salvation ......"

"The enemy is that woman?"

The co-captain lowered his voice, but he couldn't hide his surprise.

The "Holy Maiden of Orleans" is now the most concerned opponent of the Wehrmacht. Time and again, the girl brought trouble and setbacks to the defenders, and although those tactical victories did not change the strategic posture of the warring parties, they did make the self-esteemed defenders quite uncomfortable. Many in the army already regarded the defeat of the lady in armor as a way to achieve fame, and capturing or killing the holy maiden alive became the wish of a large number of officers.

"At every critical moment, she will appear on the most important battlefields. Charlemagne's survival is directly at stake in this battle, and she may be late, but she will never be absent. ”

"I see. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Edelman nodded. As a "holy girl to save the country", out of righteousness and strategy, this battle really cannot be absent.

It's just that the most important heroine is only appearing now, isn't it too late?

If it were ten minutes earlier, the City of Condor and Thor's hammer would appear while they were still entangled, and there might still be a chance. Now that the outcome is clear, there is no possibility of a reversal.

"It is too early to assert that it is irreversible, and if the enemy dares to appear at this moment, there must be a corresponding strategy. ”

- It's not a late arrival, it's a carefully calculated and set time.

Parsifal asserted in his heart.

- So far, "she" has relied not on luck alone, but on observation, judgment, and courage, and has made the most of all available conditions to bring about tactical success. Behind the seemingly risky scenes, there are all calculations that are closely linked to each other.

The calculation of a precision clock is so breathtaking that Parsifal even thinks it is an art. Perhaps this comment may not be appropriate for the warriors who have fought and finally fallen in front of the Holy Maiden. But Parsifal did feel the beauty and youthful vigor from the classic battle examples.

Such a person who has been able to formulate and carry out these operations in the years of the weak crown should be called a genius of war, and in time, "she" will surely become a new star of destruction enough to shine on history. It is not impossible to stand shoulder to shoulder with the great names of history, and even get a higher evaluation.

- It's a pity.

"She" will inevitably become the brightest and most dazzling star in any era, but there is too strong and dazzling sun in this era, and the light of any star is just fluorescent in front of the dictator. She may be able to create a few tactical victories, but after all, she will not be able to recover the decline at the strategic level.

β€”β€”Born in the wrong time, in the wrong country, and fought the wrong war...... Is it?

Parsifal, who was a librarian and amateur historian with his first choice, left his fingers on the armrest with the impression his opponent had given him, and after a light sigh, his sad brain began to draw the tactical blueprint of his opponent again.

- The secret to the ability for an ordinary floating ship to climb quickly and cut into the Iserlohn battery in a high parabola is mostly the A-4 rocket captured from the Saint-Dije base. I don't know what method they used, in short, they managed to tie several rockets in parallel to the hull and fly up. It's super hard.

Parsifal's assessment is not exaggerated, the early history of the development of rocket parallel technology is almost a bloody inspirational story of various explosions and casualties, a bunch of American and Soviet rockets turned into fireworks, priceless equipment and thousands of brave astronauts turned into ashes. Due to the unreliability of parallel rocket engine technology, the N-1 moon rocket of the former Soviet Union exploded four times in a row, of which the explosion on July 3, 1969 not only destroyed the launch tower, but also almost destroyed the entire Baikonur base, becoming the largest explosion in the history of rocket application.

The biggest difficulty in parallel rocket technology is control, and complex rockets can effectively increase thrust, but it will also make control more difficult. The ignition time, power output and other conditions of multiple engines have very strict and precise requirements, and a series of problems caused by this are one of the major causes of early space vehicle accidents. In a hurry, several rounds of surface-to-surface missiles were strapped to the floating ship...... Far from going to heaven, this method is faster to go to hell.

- I don't know how they solved the technical problem, but at the moment it's okay. Next, it's up to us to come up with it.

Fingers so thin that one wonders if they can pull the trigger draw a straight line on the armrest, and when they are about to touch the edge of the armrest, they bend straight to one side.

At this moment, the young captain smiled.
