Roland's life has not been short of adversity so far, and thanks to that guardian, there has never been a shortage of situations that are in danger or death. As he listened to the overlapping fire of multiple naval guns, for a moment he even thought the former guardian was in the bridge of the floating fleet, posing his signature gesture and admiring the Endeavour struggling after falling into a trap.
But only 1 second later, Roland denied this judgment.
If it was really that person who was sitting in the Iserlohn Battery, with his usual efficiency-oriented style, how could he tolerate the advance of the "Condor City", even if he didn't do it himself, he would have ordered the battery to fire early. You must know that from beginning to end, the "City of Condors" has always been within the range of the opponent. I just don't know if it's to save shells, or for some other reason, so I deliberately left it alone.
Now the enemy below controls the rhythm of the battlefield, although he is very good at choosing the timing and intervening in a clever way. However, compared to Li Lin, the technique and courage are inevitably a little insufficient, and in addition, the authority seems to be limited to one floating fleet.
(The other party's military rank is probably colonel or major general, and he is better at taking a step back and looking at the overall situation objectively than aggressive.) )
In just a few seconds, the outline of the enemy has been sketched in Roland's mind, and although the information at hand is limited, through the opponent's behavior, he can still analyze the clues of the opponent's personality and tactics.
So he had a question.
(If it is a guided rocket with a charge of 300 kg, it is better to say that the power and accuracy are guaranteed.) If you use naval guns to shoot in the air to avoid electronic interference, won't the lethality and projectile spread decrease?)
Even if the number compensates for the accuracy and power, the anti-aircraft shrapnel still cannot threaten the "barrier" that protects the Endeavour, and the electronic jamming carried by the "Unicorn" also includes measures to deal with the radio proximity fuse. When the signal from the VT fuse is captured by the jamming device, the jamming device immediately emits an initiation signal of the same frequency, causing the shell to self-detonate before it reaches the optimal detonation point. Even if one or two miniature bombs that slipped through the net spread the flames, they would only be isolated by the "barrier" and would not be able to harm the hull.
Roland's plan in advance was like this, and someone else would command the battle, and to a large extent, it would indeed develop according to the script he had predetermined. But now the guy below obviously didn't plan to play according to the routine, the impact of the explosion of the high-explosive bomb slapped the hull of the Endeavour one after another, the metal tremor and the screams of the crew, and the display area representing the horizontal position in the interface tilted little by little in front of the boy.

"If you want someone to draw a straight line crookedly, the best thing to do is not to grab their pen and add a diagonal line. Instead, when he was engrossed in drawing a line, he quietly pulled his ruler obliquely, and asked him to draw a diagonal line along the ruler. ”
Sitting cross-legged on the podium, Parsifal said in a deep voice. In the optical interface, the straight plume of smoke that had been rushing vertically towards Thor's hammer gradually skewed towards Charlemagne's side, and the skew became more violent every time the Second Cruiser fired a salvo.
Any fast-moving object is completely resistant to strong winds blowing from the side. Even bullets, artillery shells, and missiles flying at supersonic speeds can deviate due to the crosswind. Therefore, snipers and artillerymen must incorporate the wind direction and wind speed parameters of the scene into the calculation formula before firing, so as to minimize the error as much as possible.
Faced with a high-speed breakthrough and a useless missile and anti-aircraft shells, Parsifal's solution was to replace nature and send a strong wind from the side.
High-explosive shells are not as effective against fast and agile air targets as Type 3 anti-aircraft bombs, but they produce a shock wave that is far superior to any natural wind. What's more, in order to make up for the decrease in accuracy caused by the switch to fixed-height fuses, the main guns of the whole fleet were also used to fire together, and if one shot was not enough, it would smash one piece over, and under the cover of a dense storm, no matter how stubborn the course would be.
Every time the barrage erupted, the column of smoke would tilt even more, and before you knew it, it had entered the range of ground anti-aircraft fire. Major General Ahel, who had been hesitant before, resolutely ordered: All anti-aircraft guns that could reach the target were fired together! For a while, the sky was full of black explosion clouds, and all kinds of tracer bullets were all over the sky, and the stubborn boats were still advancing little by little.
But in Parsifal's eyes, the result has been constrained to the only path of "defeat".
The core of airborne operations is to take people by surprise and to hit them with one blow. Failure to achieve suddenness or to put a sufficient number of troops into the designated target before the enemy reacts, the death penalty can be pronounced in advance in airborne operations.
There are no famous examples of airborne operations in this world, such as the raid on the fortress of Eben-Aymar, the parachute on Crete, the rescue of Mussolini, the raid on Tito, Operation Market-Garden, the Prague Spring, and so on. Large-scale parachute assaults are still limited to special raids and war games by small units, and the limited number of air landing operations are only the version of floating ships that rush to land on the beach. But Parsifal's keen battlefield senses accurately captured the most central part of airborne operations.
Many people's understanding of airborne landing is only a literal understanding of the famous sentence "paratroopers are born to be surrounded", and the superficial bravado of the discourse often makes people ignore the two key points of "how to send to the surrounded place" and "whether they have the ability to hold on". Historically, the Germans airborne Crete, scattered an island of paratroopers, and the result was too scattered, and a large number of elite paratroopers either died from anti-aircraft fire and infantry encirclement, or were tortured and killed by armed villagers (the Cretan people's fierce index chased the Afghans, what to cut off the head to show the public, cut off the tongue and gouge out the eyes, cut off the limbs to be a seal man, cut off the vital organs and stuff your mouth and then cut the corpse with a knife is a common phenomenon.) During the entire battle, since the commander of the 7th Airborne Division, Major General Sussman, surrendered, nearly 5,000 people were killed or missing. Because it went too far, the post-war international tribunal ruled that the Germans were justified in retaliation). Three years later, during Operation Market-Garden, the British and Americans repeated all the mistakes of the Germans, and a vote of British and American paratroopers who lacked heavy weapons parachuted over the heads of two armored divisions and their German paratroopers, and the parachute area was concentrated in the area of high anti-aircraft artillery. As a result, he was first hit live in the air, jumped to the ground, and was run over by tanks and Panzergrenadiers. By the end of the campaign, only 2,398 of the 10,600 British had fled back to their own lines, and the rest had either been killed or captured. The U.S. 82nd Airborne Division suffered 3,400 casualties, and the 101st Airborne Division suffered 3,800 casualties.
Parsifal never believed that Charlemagne would put Po on a suicide attack, and even if the entire Charlemagne upper echelons were not in their right minds, it would be impossible for the Holy Maiden to adopt a plan that would not guarantee the effectiveness of the attack. The sudden advance of pigs in the "City of Condors", the long-live charge of soldiers on the ground, the modification of the hull with no common sense of safety to speak of, and the vertical dive with an extremely high mortality rate -- all of these are smoke used to paralyze the rational and judgment ability of the defense forces, and to use inertial thinking to create the psychological illusion that "this is a suicide attack" and to cover up that "the real killer weapon is airborne warfare".
It may sound like a cold-blooded ploy, but Parsifal must state that there is no better option with Charlemagne's skills and resources.
This is a war, not a knightly duel.
There is no other way for the laggards to fill the gap between them and the advanced ones by piling up corpses. "If you fall behind, you will be beaten" is never an empty phrase, and if Parsifal sat in that position, he would make the same choice.
Once we have mastered the tactical intent, we will no longer limit our attention to "air defense tasks" and turn to the idea of "anti-airborne," and it will be much easier to deal with them.
"Successive storms will bring them to the muzzles of anti-aircraft guns, and then even if they stick to the high-altitude skydiving area of the meter, they will be covered by anti-aircraft guns as soon as they get out of the cabin. If you're lucky enough to land, you'll also be caught in ground fire. If they could, I would have liked them to give up and turn around and leave......"
Parsifal sighed uncontrollably, and it wasn't until Lieutenant Colonel Edelman's cough came from behind him that the young admiral, who had come back to his senses, noticed that the bridge dignitaries were looking at him with strange eyes. Sensing that he had said the wrong thing, Parsifal grabbed his hair, coughed, and refocused his gaze on the boat in the distance.
