Chapter 438: Valley Defense
On the end of the world, compared to the zombie mutant beasts, the strength of human beings is still too thin, perhaps in addition to constantly improving themselves and strengthening their own strength, these new weapons will also become another reliance for human survivors.
After recovering from the shock, Al Farouk immediately realized that these missiles were only the first wave of enemy attacks, and that their follow-up attacks were likely to arrive immediately. So Al Farouk immediately shouted to the herald beside him:
"Inform the soldiers, get ready for battle, since the missiles are coming, then their large forces should also be on the way, and we must be ready for frontal engagement."
After receiving the order, all the soldiers went into action, wearing body armor and body armor, taking weapons for those who should be holding weapons, and opening tanks for those who should be driving tanks. Five minutes later, when all the soldiers had assembled, Al Faruk waved his hand forward and said, "Let's go, go to the preset position on the border line, move quickly, and try to get into the position before the enemy arrives." ”
All kinds of tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled electromagnetic guns, self-propelled laser cannons all came into motion, dust was billowing and machinery was roaring. After the vehicle passed, it was followed by a walking procession wearing uniform military uniforms and camouflage bulletproof vests, holding laser rifles or electromagnetic rifles in their hands. The barracks where they were stationed were not far from the national border, and they were only more than 1,000 meters away, so at such a close distance, they would not need armored personnel carriers, and they would go directly to the place where the fortifications were built by running two steps.
Jiao Bai and Al Farouk sat in an electronic command car, following the back of the line, walking slowly. Wu Zhihang asked Al Farouk, who was sitting next to him with an excited face, "Your Royal Highness, I have always been curious, why do you have to go to the battlefield in person in this war?" ”
"Because I wanted to be king," said Al Farouk, "because I wanted to be king, and my father was not the first heir to the throne, but he led the soldiers on the battlefield, defeated the invaders of Boudin, recaptured a large part of the occupied land, and established an unparalleled prestige among the people and ministers, so that he defeated his brothers and ascended to the throne of king."
In the previous cooperation with you Star International, I have proven my ability and vision to engage in economics, and next, I will go to the battlefield to defeat powerful enemies and prove my bravery and strategy. ”
Hearing Al Farouk say this, Jiao Bai finally understood that there was such a story in it. The old king of Mauria is also right, it is not good to give his descendants a good start, but he opened a precedent to fight for the throne on the battlefield and finally become a king. If his children and grandchildren were all like El Farouk and were about to go to war, it would be enough of a headache for the old king.
While the two were chatting, the soldiers and command vehicles that were not on the march had reached the border. It is a canyon formed by the long-term erosion of the river, and the width is 100 meters. In the middle of the canyon is a river that is not too big, with tens of meters of flat land on each bank, which can pass through personnel and vehicles. The canyon is flanked by rolling peaks, which are tall and steep and difficult to climb.
The Six-Nation Coalition wanted to attack Mauria proper, and the closest way was through this gorge into the heart of Mauria. If you don't go here, you have to go around thousands of kilometers, from the sea or the depths of the Sahara Desert, which is too much time. Of course, they can also fly over the mountain in a large plane, and then parachute into the airspace of Mauria, but as far as the poverty of the six countries is concerned, whether they have paratroopers or not, even if they have, how many can there be, dozens or hundreds, this number of people, landing in the hinterland of Mauria, isn't that to deliver food.
The two of them stepped off the command car and walked along the mountain road to a fort on the mountainside, where Al Farouk patted the thick and bulky 155mm towed cannon next to him and said: "These old guys were purchased by my father when he was young, and they are all more than forty years old, older than my age." ”
Jiao Bai circled around this old-fashioned cannon, and after reading it, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This thing is too backward, there are more than ten cannons on this battery, it is better to come with a few surface-to-ground missiles." Even if there are no missiles, there are rockets with a large range, and they can be used for out-of-sight strikes. These old cannons don't even have a computer-aided aiming system or a gun-aiming radar, and they all rely on the gunner's experience to operate, how far can they hit, 20 kilometers away, and the hit rate be guaranteed? ”
Al Farouk smiled awkwardly and said, "Because it has been so long since there has been a war, the soldiers haven't touched these old guys in years. Now let them operate these artillery pieces and fire shells, let alone 20 kilometers, it is difficult to ensure the hit rate even within 10 kilometers, and if they don't shoot on their own heads, they will already burn high incense. ”
Jiao Bai was speechless, and he couldn't hit it within ten kilometers, so what else did he need these cannons to do. A distance of ten kilometers can pass in seven or eight minutes for today's generally mechanized troops, that is, a charge. If you have that time to open fire, it is better to let the soldier directly carry a laser rifle and rush forward, which is direct and effective.
"So what are you doing here, pull them away, make room for them, and bring me those laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons. Both weapons are equipped with self-aiming systems, and the trajectory is straight, basically pointing where to fight, as long as the soldier who operates it is not a fool, he can quickly get started. ”
Al Farouk looked at the self-propelled laser cannons and self-propelled electromagnetic cannons in the valley, and asked with some hesitation: "The mountain road we came up just now is very steep and tortuous, and it takes a lot of effort to get these dozen cannons, can those self-propelled laser cannons and electromagnetic cannons be opened?" ”
Jiao Bai nodded affirmatively and said: "Don't worry, Your Royal Highness, these self-propelled electromagnetic guns and self-propelled laser cannon vehicles use electronic jump energy storage batteries and superconducting motors as the core power, and with scientific chassis design and special tires, their climbing ability can reach more than 50 degrees." Walking this little mountain road is just a warm-up. ”
Hearing Jiao Bai say this, Al Farouk suddenly became happy, just now in the camp, he had seen the terrifying rate of fire of the laser cannon, and the ability to intercept missiles with hundreds of shots, he knew too well the power of this new weapon. If there are two big killer weapons, electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons, to guard the batteries on the peaks on both sides, then no matter how many enemies come, they will not want to pass through this valley defense line.
Thinking of this, Al Farouk hurriedly used the internal communicator to call the officers who were directing the defense in the valley, and asked them to drive a dozen self-propelled laser cannons and self-propelled electromagnetic cannons to the batteries on the peaks and mountains on both sides of the valley. :,,,
