Chapter 176: Cai Ruichen who was defeated
Seventy kilometers away, four 175-mm self-propelled cannons with almost 75 times the diameter of the barrels were located in a ravine west of the base, and the high barrels allowed the trajectory to pass through the sky from the narrow canyon.
The rate of fire of three rounds per minute is only due to the fact that all the reloading and firing work needs to be brought in manually.
But in this way, the artillery of the Red Police Corps under Cai Ruichen was beaten without the power to fight back.
The firing range of the 155-mm howitzer is only twenty or thirty kilometers, which is only half the range of the enemy's artillery.
Although the opponent's artillery did not have any accuracy to speak of, the artillery was able to maintain some key places in the base when it fell into the explosion range.
As soon as the previous enemy artillery drone came over, although it was destroyed by the warhawk in the first place, a large amount of data was transmitted.
The barracks in the valley, as well as the ore refining plant and power plant, were covered by the first round of artillery of the opposing side.
The long-range rocket artillery of the emergency counterattack was helpless to hide the enemy's four 175mm heavy guns hiding in the canyon.
The rocket artillery fire directly covered the entire canyon, but the exposed line of sky, because the angle was not vertical flight attitude, the rocket artillery could not attack at all.
Unless it's the use of air forces, or surface-to-surface missiles, or the use of accurate long-range artillery to counterattack.
Otherwise, there is no way.
Even though a large number of rocket launchers were poured, these four guns still stood tall in the canyon. There were still only twelve shells per minute. Artillery shelling of the base.
It's a bit like during the Iran-Iraq war. Iran uses Gusan artillery, which is imported from North Korea, to carry out artillery shelling of Iraqi forces in a similar pattern.
And the Iraqi army has no way to take these artillery pieces with a range of 50 or 60 kilometers.
Now, Cai Ruichen is the same, four 175mm cannons have made his head smoke.
However, the matter was not far over, and the power plant was destroyed by four guns one after another. A cruel question was placed in front of him, and that was the offensive of the enemy's ground forces.
Behind Mozabi County, two tank battalion-sized Type 99 main battle tanks were bombarding the wall with their 125-millimeter high-pressure guns.
The advancing tracks crushed the rows of weeds, nearly a meter high weeds, covering nearly half of the body height, and the grass-green camouflage made it difficult for the naked eye to distinguish these Type 99 main battle tanks if they did not rely on telescopes when they were approaching from afar.
And the base at the moment. The electrical load was exceeded, and all the base's defensive weapons were unusable.
Nearly 60 main battle tanks can be regarded as an incomparably formidable combat force. Stayed at the wall for two kilometers and fired a fierce artillery fire on the wall.
Even the twenty-meter-thick wall began to collapse under the powerful tank artillery.
On the wall, Cai Ruichen arranged defensive forces, and only a few anti-tank missiles were barely launched, but they only caused damage to a few tanks.
The four large-caliber guns immediately turned their muzzles and aimed them at the rocket artillery positions.
When the soldiers were afraid that it would be difficult to reload the rocket launchers, the shells of the four guns fell.
A 175-mm shell with a killing radius of more than one hundred and fifty meters is no less than an ordinary missile.
In the end, less than a third of the loaded rocket artillery units fired rocket artillery at the enemy tank units outside the wall.
It's just that the real threat to these main battle tanks is the cluster anti-armor warhead fired by 333mm rocket launchers.
These warheads all exploded like submunitions at a distance of 400 meters above the tank units.
The eight armor-piercing high-explosive bombs separated from the warhead all supported the small landing line, and the active infrared guidance of the bombs also opened as the parachute was deployed.
According to the programme, the bomb, controlled by a computer chip, was preferentially aimed at the nearest main battle tank.
And the anti-aircraft armored units, which followed behind the tanks, quickly poured fire into the sky with these small white umbrellas.
This kind of special anti-armor bomb, which can be called an artillery division in one salvo, can take out an armored division, and it is indeed a great threat to tanks.
Moreover, this bomb can also be carried by missiles or air platforms, not necessarily by artillery.
It's just that two-thirds of the launchers were destroyed by the opposing artillery before, and the remaining launchers, only 333-mm rocket missiles are capable of carrying such anti-tank bombs.
So there were not many of them, and under the blows of enemy anti-aircraft fire, less than a fifth of the bombs survived to fall on the tanks.
The powerful bombs fell from the top of the head to the top of the tank, and the armor on the top of the tank was the weakest except for the belly, plus the bombs were all filled with high-explosive armor-piercing ammunition.
Hit by more than two such bombs, the main battle tank is also lying on its stomach directly.
Only the last effort could not change the outcome, when the last remaining 40 or so main battle tanks arrived at the edge of the wall, the armored vehicles that followed in the rear also transported a large number of infantry.
The next battle was a life-and-death contest, and Cai Ruichen threw almost all of his 2,000 troops into it.
Using the defense of the second wall, he tried to resist the attack of the opponent's tank troops, but he had lost his defensive weapons, and with only two thousand troops, he could not resist the enemy army with two or three thousand troops.
Two hours after the virtual reality world, Cai Ruichen stepped off the simulation stage and shook his head helplessly.
This is a confrontation in a simulated world, and the goal of the combat simulation is a battle that could break out with the Mocha Safe Zone at any time.
As the side of the base, Cai Ruichen is naturally the commander, and the base, as an NPC in the simulated world, plays the role of the offensive force of the Mocha safe zone.
As a result, Cai Ruichen's defense base was completely defeated, and the two thousand elite mobilizers were all wiped out, and the base was completely destroyed.
And the Mocha security zone actually did not lose even half of the losses, and those so-called armed trucks were not at all the opponents of the tank forces when large-scale forces were deployed.
Trucks are already huge targets, and a tank gun can directly destroy any armed truck.
It's just that Cai Ruichen is a little unconvinced, because his opponent is the base.
"Base, you are playing a scoundrel, you actually put artillery under the sky, so that I can only be beaten passively."
This is Cai Ruichen's most depressed place, otherwise if the power plant was not destroyed, the battle would definitely not be the result.
"It's not that the base is a scoundrel, it's that every capable officer does it, it's an excellent artillery position, and it's the commander who was overconfident and ignored the four 175mm guns in the Mocha security zone from the start." (To be continued......)
