"I heard that it is forbidden to use cluster bombs to attack Ronshek...... Not sure why. On the position of the rocket troops, an artillery soldier of Iran Hill asked a well-informed comrade around him.

Just now, the Guardian rocket launcher fired a salvo at the enemy's position, and the ash blown up by the rocket tail flame still filled the surrounding air.

Large rocket artillery occupies a very important position in the artillery units of Iran Hill, on the one hand, because of its strong firepower and suppressive power. On the other hand, it is because the rocket launchers have wheeled carrying vehicles, which can keep up with the speed of advance of armored forces.

And the rocket artillery unit, which has been highly valued, is also equipped with many dazzling types of rockets: there are large ground-penetrating bombs, ordinary rockets, powerful cloud burst bombs, and famous cluster bombs.

However, during the attack on Ronshek, the rocket artillery unit was strictly forbidden to use cluster bombs, and it is said that it was ordered by the Supreme Command.

"You can be regarded as asking the right person about this, didn't I go to the regiment headquarters before? I heard from the regimental commander that there was a problem with the use of cluster bombs on the side of Ferry City, and all cluster bombs should be checked......" replied the well-informed soldier.

In fact, this matter is also very speechless, that is, during the battle in Ferry City, Iran Hill's artillery unit used a lot of cluster bombs in order to deal with the demon troops.

Although effective against demons, cluster bombs have a fatal drawback, or not a drawback, but a trait. This is a characteristic that some of the submunitions scattered by cluster bombs can easily fail to detonate properly.

This probability is about 20 to 30 percent, that is, if there are 100 scattered submunitions, there are about 30 bombs that will not explode on the spot.

In this way, these bombs will become mines that can explode at any time, and become an unstable security risk.

During the reconstruction of Ferry City, a cluster bomb submunition that did not detonate immediately suddenly exploded, killing three construction workers and injuring four others. This incident has attracted the attention of many people, and it has also delayed the reconstruction of Ferry City.

Therefore, Chris had to give an order to Vaglon to use cluster bombs cautiously, so as not to have a vicious accident of accidentally being injured by his own ammunition after retaking the enemy-occupied area.

As a result, Waglon ordered his troops to reduce the use of cluster bombs, especially on the frontal part of their own offensive - according to the offensive plan, these places would soon become passages, ensuring that the main force of Elanhill would attack to the southwest, leaving hidden dangers to cause trouble for themselves.

Thankfully, there are other types of ammunition that Elanhill's rocket artillery unit can use: at the very least, the Cloudburst is a high-powered type that is not banned.

When the two were talking, the loading vehicle behind them was busy, and the robotic arm was loading the Guardian rockets into the rocket launch nest.

Farther away, in the traditional artillery positions, hundreds of Priest self-propelled guns were constantly pouring ammunition onto the enemy's positions.

These have no turrets, the fighting compartment is an open WWII self-propelled gun, and the performance can only be considered mediocre.

However, there are too many M4 tanks produced by Iran Hill, and converting them into self-propelled artillery equipment for artillery that lacks motor vehicles is obviously a good way to use waste.

Therefore, although the production line of the M4 tank has not been discontinued, the M4 tank produced by it is no longer equipped with the tank troops of Iran Hill.

Some of the M4 tanks were exported to the Eternal Empire and the Norma Empire, as well as to the Palak Empire, a vassal state of Irlanhill in the south. These tanks were sold to allies as war aid, with the aim of helping them stabilize their battle lines as much as possible.

There are also some M4 tanks that have been produced, and there is only the chassis of the M4 tank. These chassis were converted into repair vehicles, engineering vehicles, rocket launchers, and most importantly - self-propelled guns!

Artillerymen, who were already very short of self-propelled guns, were of course willing to take over such modifications, because if they did not accept them, there were no newer weapons to replace the priest self-propelled guns.

Therefore, such self-propelled howitzers with average performance, poor protection and small caliber are becoming more and more numerous in the troops of Irlanhill.

It's really a laughable thing to think about: one day in the future, there may be an interesting combination of Iran Hill's armored forces, the Priest self-propelled howitzer of World War II, covering the T-72 tank battle......

Of course, the sleek Air Force is heavily armed with Il-2 attack aircraft and B-25 and B-17 bombers, so what does the Army have to complain about?

"Sir!" Next to the firing position of the artillery, in a makeshift bunker, an officer was reporting to his own supreme commander on the consumption of ammunition: "We have fired 17 salvos...... It is estimated that there will be no one alive on the enemy's positions......"

Half an hour earlier, their artillery's own observation post had sent back the news that the puppet Empire's artillery could not be heard at all.

In fact, the artillery of the puppet empire did give up struggling more than half an hour ago. After being pressed and beaten twice, they finally realized a very serious and very real problem: they really couldn't beat the huge artillery force of Iran Hill......

"Don't worry, those enemies are like rats, no matter how you shell them, many people will survive in the end." The artillery commander in the bunker seemed to be more experienced, and with a smile he commanded his men: "Keep firing!" ”

Not far from this headquarters, a priest self-propelled howitzer slammed back, and a puff of intertwined fire and smoke erupted from the muzzle.

In the open fighting compartment, a loader waited for the gun to return to its position, then pulled the bolt, causing a hot shell case to tumble to the floor with a clanging sound.

Then, waiting for the chamber to cool down, another loader shoved the prepared shell into the chamber and closed the bolt with a smooth movement.

At the same time, another "priest", next to the priest's self-propelled gun, also fired a shell.

This firing seems to have a regularity, a charm, and its own peculiar rhythm. In the distance, Ronshek trembled at the rumbling cannons of Ellan Hill, a cloud of smoke that the Ran Hill grenadiers were all too familiar with.
