On the frontal battlefield, the troops of the puppet empire scattered and retreated, leaving a bunch of worthless puppets to defend against the pursuit of Iran Hill, and many of the defenders of the Holy Demon Empire did not know about it.

The abandoned soldiers remained in their positions to await the ravages of Iran Hill, and in just one morning, their line was breached by Iran Hill, and after repeated fighting, Ran Hill pushed the line a full 70 kilometers south.

However, after this, Alan Hill also gave up the pursuit, stopped on the spot, and began to rest and replenish. The reason is nothing else, because after a fierce battle, the front-line troops of Iran Hill also suffered huge losses.

If it had not been for the westward railway, and if it had not cut and intercepted some of the supplies replenished to the 9th Army, the 1st Army might not have been able to support it on the second day of the counterattack. Now that they stopped to rest, it was a relief to General Walter.

Just as the 1st Army had stopped its march south, Seris's wartime economic conference was convened on time. The meeting was attended by all the senior officials in charge of production and the army remaining in Seris.

After all, the issues discussed in this meeting were left over from the fierce battle of the puppet empire.

The Minister of Defense, Grand Duke Castera of Higgs, expressed his emotion at the meeting: "This may be the best war we mortals have fought in history!" We defeated the mighty Magic Empire, and the enemy didn't even break through our defenses! ”

He was right, both in terms of scale and results, this battle between Iran Hill and the puppet empire can definitely be said to be unprecedented. The number of troops on both sides and the fierceness of the battle process made the results of the mortal empire surpass any previous battle.

"Yes, but I'm sure it's the most expensive war we've fought so far." With a pale face looking at the rough statistics, Gullo answered in pain.

In order not to fall behind in the battle against the puppet empire, yesterday the 1st Army, the main force of Elanhill, suffered heavy losses. The amount of ammunition consumed is innumerable, and the cost can really be said to be touching.

Desel didn't have much resistance to spending money, he was the first to witness the rise of Ellen Hill, so in his subconscious, he firmly believed that Chris had the magical power to come back after his daughter was gone.

But even so, he was still surprised by yesterday's consumption, and agreed with Gullo's statement: "That's right, the consumption of yesterday's day, the gold we threw out, is almost the same as the total cost of all the wars waged in the past human history. ”

You know, just over four years ago, Seris's annual revenue was only about 1,000 gold coins. At that time, Chris was still worried about his taxes, and a country to start a war was nothing more than spending tens of thousands of gold coins, or hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

But now, in a battle, the total value of the air-to-air missiles consumed by Alan Hill has far exceeded the amount of 100,000 gold coins.

Now you know why so many modern air-to-air missiles use infrared combat missiles, right? Because radar-guided missiles are more expensive...... From the analysis of the seeker, infrared-guided missiles are really very cheap, so cheap that many technologies can even be extended to the civilian field.

Radar-guided missile seekers are very expensive, and the two sides are basically not on the same level. Therefore, even in the most wealthy countries, the seeker of air-to-air missiles is mixed, the radar seeker for long-range air-to-air missiles beyond the visual range highlights its performance after launch, and the infrared seeker for air-to-air missiles at close range also has more reasonable performance indicators for cost control.

Of course, the wider locking range of the infrared seeker is also one of the main reasons why most combat missiles choose infrared seeker. However, the cheap price is indeed a reference reason, and the Mika air-to-air missile is a counterexample, and the expensive and scary ......

For special reasons, the cheap infrared seeker cannot be used, so the expensive radar seeker can only be used, which is also a very pitiful choice for combat missiles.

After all, the small size of the infrared seeker means that the missile can be made smaller, the better the maneuverability, and the easier it is to hit a target of the size of the magician.

Having said that, if Ellen Hill enters the technical field of the second generation of infrared air-to-air missiles, then these problems can be easily solved: thermal imaging infrared guidance technology is much more reliable and resistant to interference than earlier pure thermal induction guidance technology.

If you add in the assistance of other guidance modes, the new infrared combat missile will not be unusable, but will be added to the air-to-air missile camp to strengthen the guidance weapons of the Iran Hill Air Force.

At the very least, when using infrared guidance, the lock-on area is huge, which is an unbeatable advantage when launching air-to-air missiles at close range and at large angles. No radar seeker can replace such an advantage.

The basic situation now is that air-to-air missiles are still expensive radar-guided, and the price is still very high, and in yesterday's battle, the MiG-21 fired a total of more than 190 Sparrow missiles at various targets, but the hit rate was less than half.

Even so, the missile has already shown its potential for the future: less than 100 missiles hit the target, killing dozens of targets, including the Dragon, with a very good damage effect.

"Is it that scary?" Hearing that Desail was lamenting the amazing spending, Luo Kai, the curious chief of the General Staff, asked subconsciously.

"We have fired a total of 72 Scud ballistic missiles from yesterday to today, and more than half of them are the latest solid-motor models......" Glancing at Luo Kai, the general of the newly established Strategic Missile Force opened his mouth to introduce.

This can be said to be quite a huge expense, you must know that one Scud missile is expensive, dozens of missiles in one go, this price is also very touching. Hearing the news, Luo Kai immediately closed his mouth.

It's okay for him to staff and command the battle, and let him think about these expenses, which gives him a bit of a headache. Yesterday he was only thinking about winning the sudden encounter, not about the cost......

In this way of thinking, yesterday's 1st and 11th armies used whatever they could find, basically using the latest and most expensive weapons that Iran Hill could find now.

"And not just Scuds, ordinary rockets, including Katyusha, but also larger models...... We consumed more than 600 in one day and one night...... Cluster bombs have also been used quite a bit. Another officer added.

"We fired 39 air-launched Super Hound missiles, and one crashed. Any idea how expensive these missiles are? The other air general glanced at General Butolia, who had not spoken, and then added to himself.

"Yesterday alone, we had more than 1,700 planes, which took off more than 4,000 sorties, and poured more than 8,000 tons of bombs and artillery shells on all the places we could hit." At this time, Butolia opened his mouth and added: "Do you know how expensive these bombs are? There are expensive armor-piercing shells, as well as napalm and cloudburst bombs...... Ordinary bombs are cheap in comparison. ”

In modern warfare, it's all about money! Not to mention such high-intensity large-scale operations, even if it is a small-scale anti-guerrilla operation, the military expenditure consumed by the US military in the 21 st century is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

Flipping through the records in front of him, Deser glanced at Chris, who was sitting in the first place: "The troops poured at least 200 million rounds of ammunition yesterday, about 200,000 large-caliber shells, 27 scrapped cannons, 3 exploding guns, and more than 100 cannons that need to be replaced before they can continue to be used." ”

What is this concept? About a second, two shells fell on the positions of the puppet empire! For a day, the shells kept falling two rounds a second, without a second of pause! More than half of the entire theater of operations has been covered with craters, the soil has been loosened, and even some small plateaus have been blown into small basins.

A casual rummag of the nearby dirt will reveal either the remains of a puppet, a human blood clot, and of course, metal shrapnel, and shells that have fallen to your feet and are too late to pick them up.

"To replenish the front line with such a huge consumption, the train will have to use a considerable number of trains, not counting the production problems." The official in charge of the railway spoke out about his difficulties: "We are already cutting supplies to the 9th Army, but if we want to restore the 1st Army to the level of the day before yesterday, we need at least 50 trains of supplies." ”

"I'll give you a random example, yesterday's consumption of ammunition was enough for the bankruptcy of the Arrant Empire four years ago." An official closed the report in front of him, shook his head, and said.

Another official beside him sneered: "Bankrupt? They simply can't come up with that much money! You haven't counted the fuel you consumed yesterday, you haven't counted the soldiers who died yesterday...... God knows how much we spent yesterday to build another Seris ......"

Every fighter plane takes off is an expensive expense, and until the 90s, the number of hours of flight training for Huaxia fighter pilots every year was very small, and the purpose was to save fuel from strategic reserves and reduce the training expenses of the troops.

A jet fighter is almost enough to buy a Nissan car once in the air, and yesterday, the MiG-21 fighter took off and fought without death, and even shot down a dozen of them, which shows how huge the fuel they consume.

"In order to support the war effort, Higgs has expanded its oil exploitation tenfold! Our oil fields in the Dowson Empire are also producing crude oil, which is good news. There are also oil fields in the Jesno Empire......" the official in charge of oil production reported.

"It seems that General Kolya, who is still going south, is making money......" An official in charge of finance breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, shook his head and sighed softly.
