Chapter 259: The Power of Artillery (Seven Watches)
The intense artillery fire stunned all ISIS soldiers in Samarra.
They had thought about the possible air raids and the possible precision shelling, but they had never imagined that in the modern mode of warfare, there would still be people who used such heavy artillery to shell indiscriminately.
It's just an incredible thing, after all, with the development of war technology, the waste of firepower has rarely appeared.
It's like the current Air Force, why compared to the previous fighters, there were dozens of fighters at random, but now only one fighter can complete the tasks that dozens of fighters were able to complete.
First of all, because of the increase in bomb load, after all, the bomb load of a modern fighter is almost ten tons.
And in World War II, only the B-29 Super Flying Fortress had a bomb load of nine tons.
In terms of precision strikes, guided bombs are now used, and primitive mechanical sighting devices were used in the past.
In the case of the current Nimitz-class aircraft carriers of the United States, the strength of carrier-based aircraft on a supercarrier capable of carrying two wings of combat aircraft, and a supercarrier battle group, is enough to exceed the total number of carrier-based aircraft on 20 aircraft carriers in World War II.
And with the development of equipment, the price is getting more and more expensive, so the waste of firepower must be controlled.
However, none of the opponents would have imagined that the heavy artillery group, which had been eliminated for decades, would reappear.
The last battlefield in which such a battle picture appeared was the Vietnam battlefield, and the largest scale of use was the Soviet Union during World War II. The pinnacle of the development of heavy artillery clusters was during the Korean War.
But now, the group of soldiers of the Islamic State who are waiting to fight the government forces in the city are directly stunned.
They did not experience such a battle, a little better artillery. It is also nothing more than a bazooka, the latter mortar.
Where have you seen a salvo of more than a hundred artillery guns. It's simply incredible.
Because there is not a single army. After all, the lethality of artillery is still relatively limited in the city.
Most of the artillery damage is applied to those buildings, not to living forces.
Under the first round of intensive artillery fire, the ISIS soldiers, who had managed to hide in bunkers, were horrified to find out.
It was as if the artillery had eyes, and wherever they hid, they would be attacked by heavy artillery.
Never experienced such shelling. No one will bother to prepare anti-artillery fortifications, and it is enough to hide in the low corners of the ruins.
In corners, even heavy artillery shells that explode within tens of meters will be negated by the walls.
As long as it is not a direct shell hit within a radius of almost twenty meters, there will generally be no problem.
Every soldier of the Islamic State knows this very well.
But what made their hands and feet cold was that the heavy artillery was chasing people on Nima.
In particular, those basements where many people have gathered to take refuge can withstand a single shell, but they cannot withstand the continuous bombardment of multiple shells.
A lot of ISIS soldiers hiding in the basements of the defenses. Almost all of them, along with the basement and the soldiers, were annihilated by direct hits of the shells.
With the most accurate command. Coupled with the precise impact of the artillery shells, it is enough to make every ISIS soldier unavoidable.
The saddest thing is that they can't find a solid bunker in the city at all, even a few layers of cement can't stop a few shots.
The shells seemed to have laser aiming, and more and more people died under the blow of the artillery.
Especially the Islamic State soldiers who hide in the train stations and industrial areas, they may think it is safe.
But when the artillery began to shift their targets, they realized that the people who launched the shelling were crazy.
Ignoring these seemingly important facilities, it was directly a carpet artillery attack.
Then, without even the slightest hesitation, the extension of the artillery began, and only a part of the ISIS soldiers who fled directly from the city, and the remaining thousands of ISIS soldiers became the main ingredient of Samarra's steel broth.
However, the blood and shock in the heart are also dripping from the heart of Mutar, the front-line commander of the Iraqi Defense Forces.
Because the whole city is gone, some houses that could still be seen in good condition have all been destroyed.
Fortunately, there are no civilians in the entire city, and the predatory ISIS soldiers have also looted the valuable things in the city.
The whole city was already empty, and there was nothing of value except for the crumbling buildings.
Now, I'm afraid that in a few days, the whole city will not have a flat foothold.
"What are those crazy people in Future Technology Group doing? Money is not spent like this, razing the city, even if it is taken, what is the use of that ruin. ”
"With such a dense artillery, aren't the shells worthless?"
"The infidels of the Islamic State have suffered a lot of losses this time, and I am afraid that even rats and cockroaches will die several times with such firepower."
……
Muttar listened to the people around him, and he could hear their schadenfreude.
However, in his heart, he did not have the slightest joy, because his target also included the armed forces in Marin Town.
In the reply he gave, the Ministry of Defense also said that it was to take the opportunity to find a way to weaken the armed forces of Marin Town.
But after seeing such dense firepower, coupled with a beautiful ambush by the armed forces of Marin Town that day, he understood that people were definitely not so unbearable as they imagined.
Recently, he heard that Nasser was talking wild when he was in Marintown.
If those people in Marin Town really take Samarra and dare to run away from those ISIS soldiers, then the Iraqi government forces will not only lose face in the Indian Ocean, but even Samarra will be their own.
As for repentance or non-recognition, Muttar is well aware that the Iraqi government can no longer afford to offend Future Technologies.
If it weren't for the power support of Future Technology Group, the Iraqi government would have faced a crisis of confidence in the people long ago, and even the president might have stepped down.
Not to mention, the current future technology group's own force has also matured.
The 2,100 security personnel of the future security company, even if it is the 5,000-strong troops in Marin Town, are very difficult to mess with.
After all, the Islamic State was sniped to death by 800 people in two nights, and today's artillery bombardment is vivid.
If the target of these artillery attacks were Baghdad, would Baghdad still be able to find an intact piece of rubble?
Not to mention whether there is no way to do it, the town of Marin is only forty kilometers from Baghdad. (To be continued.) )
