Chapter 55: Hand-controlled sentry and cannon

Li Lan didn't know that his name had appeared on the desks of the high-ranking people of Shijie countries, but even if he knew, he didn't have time to care about it.

The government troops came quickly, so fast that Li Lan, who originally thought he would be able to take a breath, didn't even have time to take a good breath.

"Commander, the government forces have set up an attack formation on the perimeter!"

Before Li Lan could come to the city wall to take a look at the situation, Ahmad's hurried voice could already be heard on the radio.

When Li Lan walked up to the city wall, before he used a telescope, he could see the dark crowd in the distance with just the naked eye.

"How many people are on the other side?" Taking the telescope handed over by Ahmed, Li Lan asked.

"Three thousand people are expected, and it is menacing." Ahmed did not have detailed information, and could only rely on his own experience to make estimates.

"The other party, do you have any heavy weapons?" After asking this question just now, the hands holding the telescope shook and scolded: "Damn! ”

Behind a large number of government soldiers, more than a dozen trucks were parked horizontally and orderly, and in the open rear compartment of each truck was a large-caliber mortar, which was also filled with ammunition boxes.

However, this is not the reason why Li Lan burst into foul language, but on both sides of these trucks, there are several pickup trucks parked. Also in the back compartment of each pickup truck, a multiple rocket launcher was erected.

Li Lan was originally a military fan, and he was very familiar with this type of multiple rocket launcher, and it was precisely because of this that he couldn't help but scold his mother.

On 14 October 2005, two British Harrier fighter jets were attacked by rocket artillery at a US military base in Kandahar, southern Afghanistan, killing one and injuring one. It was the first time a coalition fighter jet had been destroyed since U.S. forces entered Afghanistan in 2001. Coincidentally, only two months ago, two large US warships "Ashilan" and "Chishaji" anchored in Port Aqaba in Jordan were attacked by rocket artillery. The amphibious landing ship "Ashilan" was almost hit when the rockets went over the bow of the ship and blew a 2.5-meter-diameter hole in the roof of the warehouse at the pier. The two American ships immediately fled the port. At the same time, the Israeli airport in the city of Silat was attacked by rocket artillery, which is only 15 kilometers from the port of Aqaba, the logistics center for the transportation of supplies by the United States forces to Iraq. Jordanian officials said the attackers fired three rockets at the U.S. warship from a hilltop warehouse in a slum on the outskirts of Aqaba, eight kilometers from the port. It was a two-story building. The attackers carved a one-square-metre skylight on the roof of the second floor.

Seeing these reports, insiders understand that 107-mm rocket artillery is powerful again. Often, the AK-47 assault rifle, RPG-7 rocket launcher, and 107mm rocket launcher are listed alongside the three most famous conventional weapons on the shijie. Although the psychological warfare department of the US military hyped these three weapons through the media as "low-jishu, low-priced, and low-quality personnel to use," these weapons played a huge role in the Vietnam War and the Iraq War.

Tactically, the AK-47, RPG-7 and 107-mm rocket artillery have their own division of labor. For targets beyond 300 meters, only 107-mm rocket launchers are simple, practical, cheap and reliable weapons.

And these three weapons are also the most trusted weapons for terrorists and rebels in Shijie, not to mention cheap and easy to obtain, the operation is very simple, there are basically no requirements for soldiers, and the lethality is still very huge. It is definitely a must-have weapon for home travel, murder and arson.

This is the first time Li Lan has seen this weapon in reality, and the first time he meets, he wants to taste the power of this weapon.

The 12 packs occupied most of the space in the back of the pickup truck, and Li Lan suddenly felt a palpitation when he saw the government troops who were loading these launchers with rocket artillery.

It wasn't that he didn't expect the government army to have heavy weapons, but he never expected it to be such a prestigious guy. Under the fame, it is full of deterrence, and even the US military is very troubled by this, and it is normal for Li Lan to have relatives.

"Ahmet, you must kill the enemy's artillery, otherwise it will be enough to choke even a week, let alone a month." It is imperative to kill these rocket artillery, otherwise there is no need to defend it at all, as long as these government forces use these rocket artillery at any cost, then even if there are a few more layers of the city wall, it will not be able to withstand it.

Moreover, with a range of six or seven kilometers from the rocket artillery, as long as the enemy advances a little more, it can attack the location where the base vehicle is located, which Li Lan does not allow.

"Use the Sentinel Cannon to kill them all at once." Ahmed on the side pointed to the four sentry cannons that had been built, and said with murderous intent.

Li Lan had just built this today, and he thought he had enough time to make arrangements, but he didn't expect the government troops to come so quickly, and only four sentry guns were built, and the enemy was already in front of him.

"Is the distance enough? The practical range of the Sentinel Gun is five kilometers, and I think this distance is more than five kilometers. "Although it has not been measured, according to the readings on the telescope, it is clear that the distance is not very close.

"That's enough, I've measured it before, and the other party is within a five-kilometer attack range of the sentry gun." Ahmad was sure, and in order to get Li Lan to agree, he continued:

"Because the commander built the sentry cannon on the city wall, it just made up for the dead end of the sentry cannon. In the past, when dealing with those armed shili, because the sentry cannon was located on the ground, it could not attack the enemy artillery in the depression in the distance, but this time the sentry gun was five meters above the ground level, and the downward attack angle formed could completely cover the enemy's artillery position in front of him. Moreover, even if the enemy's position is outside the range of five kilometers and is out of the effective range of the Sentinel Cannon, the 30 mm shells of the Sentinel Cannon are enough to maintain a certain lethality at a distance of five kilometers. This method is completely feasible. ”

After listening to Ahmed's suggestion, Li Lan nodded.

Now he has no more options, the opponent's artillery position is in the midst of heavy troops, and it is not easy to rely on conventional means to eliminate it. And once the opponent's rocket artillery begins to wield power, I'm afraid that the four sentry guns on the city wall will not have a chance to shoot, and the result is so, it is better to fight once.

"Without further ado, I'll go to the console right away. Tell the soldiers to be careful. Li Lan nodded, walked down the city wall quickly, and sat directly on the off-road vehicle under the city wall. Under the urging of Li Lan, the off-road vehicle increased its horsepower and left without dust.

Back at the base car, Li Lan rushed to the console.

As in the game, these defensive weapons are controllable, just like the forced attack half in the game, which can attack a specific location, of course, within the range of the defending unit.

On the simulated map, Li Lan quickly found out the location of the artillery position, and the scanning range of the base car was a warning circle of 10 kilometers with himself as the center and then 10 kilometers extended. In other words, the map simulated by the base car can be seen six kilometers beyond the outer city walls.

The effective killing distance of the sentry gun is five kilometers, which does not mean that the shells will not have lethality after five kilometers, but the lethality will begin to weaken and the most effective killing will not be achieved.

Although Li Lan has never controlled the Sentinel Cannon, it has become a common thing for him to control these defensive weapons in the game. Soon, he found the hang of controlling these weapons.

On the city wall, Ahmet and the others squatted down after watching the sentry cannon behind them start to turn the barrel, away from the trajectory of the barrel.

When the four sentry guns were all aimed at the target, Li Lan did not hesitate to untie the restrictions of the sentry guns. What is needed now is to seize the opportunity, strike first and then suffer.

The sentry cannon and machine gun bunker are both automatic defensive weapons, and if they are not restricted, any target designated as the enemy by the base will immediately open fire, so under normal circumstances, Li Lan always restricts the sentry gun and machine gun bunker.

Now that the target is determined, once the restriction is removed, the Sentinel Cannon will fire mercilessly.

All the mobilized soldiers on the city wall were lying on the ground, and those who were lying next to the sentry cannon were still covering their ears tightly.

"Bang! Bang ......" dense cannon sound was like popping beans, filling the entire sky.

Two 30-millimeter barrels of 50 times the caliber of the cannon were like spring machines, and the exit of the shells under the barrels rolled out of the shells as if they were a flood, each shell was the thickness of a baby's arm, and the clanging sound of the collision of the shells was incessant.
