Chapter 188: Shooting
The Jim Guard is the kind of standard with a bit of a slender body, and compared to Zagu, another mass-produced machine of the Universe Century, Jim looks more maneuverable.
Huang Yun, who was already accustomed to the body, controlled Jim Guard to the target area. He was relatively tall, and looking at the target in the distance, it looked like he was looking down. So, he crouched down and took a hip-shot position. Even then it's a little too high, but it's generally better than it used to be.
"Everything came according to the time of the simulated warehouse. Well...... The target on the opposite side was raised. Now I'm just going to switch to sniper mode and ...... Aim the crosshair at the target. By the way, the line of sight in the field of vision can be magnified. Huang Yun, who was in the cockpit of Jim Guard, looked at the situation in front of her, trying to think about what she should be doing right now.
She did so. As a result, the target in front of me, which looked to be only the size of a sesame seed, was suddenly pulled "closer". The little girl pursed her lips and put the crosshair on her screen into the center of the target, and pressed the button decisively when the two coincided.
Shots rang out and bullets flew out. A 100mm bullet whizzed out of the chamber and slammed into the surface of the target. It's a semi-armor-piercing projectile!
The bullet's pointed cap passed through the target for a moment, and then exploded with a bang. The power of a 100mm bullet, or rather, a shell, is not comparable to that of a 50mm caliber. After this launch, a radius of 20 square meters was ravaged by shrapnel. Other targets to the left and right of the target were hit by shrapnel and were scattered.
If you look at it by the standard of unprotected units, they were undoubtedly killed - in fact, the final computer calculation was based on this standard.
"One shot, six targets...... This is already cheating. Commander Locke curled his mouth slightly, "It's just 100mm caliber, it's strong enough, I like it!" he laughed.
"Caliber is justice, turret is truth...... Hehe, are you a multi-turret god cult?" Yuan Hao asked with a smile.
"Multi-Turret Cult? What is that? Some kind of religion of the Old World? I don't know anything about that. Commander Locke was stunned.
He was a commander and devoted all his mind to the army. He is the kind of person who is more old-fashioned and self-righteous, and he has no hobbies, at most, he plans one simulation battle after another with his subordinates in order to verify what to do if they encounter a mechanical octopus in various environments.
Aside from being a little cautious and preferring to target Morpheus, he's generally a good man.
"Na Na...... People can't play this stalk!" Yuan Hao was also helpless.
He could only turn his head away and ignore the old-fashioned and boring man.
The power of the 100mm machine gun is astonishing, but it is still within the comprehension range of the public. After all, even in the old era, the caliber of artillery used to reach 800mm, and the caliber of 100mm was considered relatively outdated above the tanks of the old era.
A 100mm machine gun? That's a so-so power compared to a 50mm rapid-fire rifle.
After that, the drill of the fixed handle continued. In addition to the 100mm machine gun, Yuan Hao also had Huang Yun practice the 203mm sniper gun and the 300mm large-caliber rocket launcher - these were originally weapons for the Vanguard Gundam, but the Jim Guard, a shrunken version of the Vanguard Gundam, could also be used.
The roar of artillery fire continued to sound, wave after wave. Various types of ammunition were also tried.
The bullets of the 100mm machine gun and the 203mm sniper gun are roughly the same, divided into two types: high-explosive and armor-piercing. High-explosive shells are aimed at low-armored targets, and armor-piercing shells are responsible for attacking fortifications - this is similar to the artillery of the old world.
As for the 300mm large-caliber rocket, a new bullet has been added, the 300mm close-to-explosive shotgun. Relying on the thrust of the artillery to get close to the enemy, according to the intelligent chip in the shell to judge the distance between the target and the target, when the target is 20-30 meters, it explodes on its own, and shoots a rapid projectile to attack the lightly armored target.
Being able to attack distant targets like a regular cannon, and being able to cover a large area of unarmored targets, in short, this is a fairly useful shell, especially for a guy with very thin armor like the mechanical octopus.
Yuan Hao himself has experimented, using this kind of shell, the 300mm caliber rocket artillery is completely capable of killing more than 10 mechanical octopuses in one attack, as long as they are close enough and close enough, it is definitely a wave of goods.
"Yes, really good. Locke saw the powerful firepower of Jimguard, and couldn't help but praise again and again.
"Yes...... But that's not the point. If only firepower is needed, it is enough to place a sufficiently thick pipe on a fixed battery hill.
However, as a mobile weapon, the mecha naturally has to unify firepower, mobility, and defense to achieve a certain balance. That's why we designed mechas. Yuan Hao persistently put forward his own opinions.
"Well, you're right......" Commander Locke nodded approvingly, "then ......" He looked at Yuan Hao with some expectation.
Yuan Hao nodded lightly: "Let's enter the next process." ”
"Okay!" Locke agreed, "I'll set the battlefield for you according to the parameters you gave me." ”
With that, he left the scene. This is the end of the live-fire exercise, and the rest of the drill will be carried out in nothingness.
In fact, similar to the use of the matrix in the network of soul consciousness projection and virtual reality, the human side also has a very advanced skill.
Zion's central port control and command platform is actually one aspect of this technology, where people manipulate in virtual space, give instructions, and reflect the operation in real life by the corresponding machinery. Whatever human beings want to admit at any time, the working environment in the virtual space is indeed much better than the real thing.
The battlefield was quickly arranged, and the two pilots lay on the cold consciousness connectors, connected by the machines into the virtual battle program. Before this, the staff was busy, and they had already entered the relevant data of Jim Guard, and generated the appearance of the body in the virtual space.
This is a simulated combat training, mainly to test the mobile combat ability of Jim Guard. The battlefield is a city full of high-rise buildings, and the enemies are all kinds of artillery, tanks, soldiers, and mechanical octopuses...... There is even an old-era artillery battleship docked in the port area.
"It's strange to mix and match such a military configuration. Yuan Hao looked at the military configuration of the enemy and us, and crooked his mouth a little strangely: "It's the heavy patrol of World War II again, and it's modern tanks and self-propelled artillery, as well as mechanical octopuses...... You're here to fight in all eras. ”
"Is this to test your mech's damage and mobility against a variety of targets? Locke spread his hands helplessly.
It also takes imagination to arrange the right enemies for the simulated battle. And imagination is undoubtedly a rather extravagant thing for the people of Zion today.
The constant fighting, the tense situation, the situation of hunger and cold, made the people of Zion more ancestors in front of them. They are all quite practical people, and the so-called fantasies do not exist in their eyes. Their hearts are bound, their minds cannot be let go, and naturally they cannot feel the power from the depths of their hearts.
Imagine the enemy...... For such a thing, they spend all their time looking for old antiques that seem to be suitable in history.
"Be careful! It's just an antique, but if such an enemy is attacked, it's good enough for you. Yuan Hao whispered to remind Huang Yun who had entered the battlefield.
"Understood!" Huang Yun, who had calmed down, nodded in understanding.
"Well, pay attention to yourself. Just try to play your best in the simulator. Yuan Hao admonished, and cut off the spiritual connection between the two.
The regular drill began.
The body of Jim Guard suddenly appeared in a corner of the city. The city is full of tall buildings, but it's not very big.
The entire city is ten square kilometers away, and Jim Guard is able to cover most of the city with its excellent optical image capture system, laser rangefinder and a standard radar.
At this moment, for Huang Yun, who has just entered the battlefield, what he needs most is to seek the enemy.
The tall buildings and the intricate streets of the complex terrain undoubtedly give the enemy a chance to breathe. Huang Yun scanned in advance, but did not find the existence of enemies.
Apparently they were all hiding in a "hidden" position in the building.
Huang Yun looked at the silence around her and pressed the button, and the main thruster jetted. The tremendous propulsion threw the fifty-ton mobile suit high into the line. The mechs rise, quickly passing over the tallest buildings in the city, taking in most of the city. Soon, the tanks and self-propelled guns laid out on the main street were discovered by her.
"Weapon switching, 203 sniper gun, using armor-piercing shells. "The Jim Guard's main backpack can generate enough thrust to give the Jim Guard 10 seconds of time in the air.
Although it was about to fall soon, the remaining seconds were enough for Huang Yun to make a move.
Select the target, zoom in on the image, and use the auxiliary computer to calculate the trajectory and aim the 203mm sniper gun in his hand at the unlucky guy who was selected by himself. With a slight pull of the trigger, the shell whizzed out of the chamber, and in an instant, it crossed several kilometers of space and drilled into the turret of a main battle tank with precision.
With a flash of fire, fireballs rose and explosions roared, and the lifted turret tumbled down the street not far away, startling the other tanks around him.
"I was wrecked. "Someone in the remote control room yelled in frustration.
"That's your bad luck. Look at my ...... I don't believe that such a big goal can easily kill us. The person next to him comforted his companion casually, and immediately became excited.
It was also a rare experience for many of them, who were all junior officers of Zion. At this time, they remotely controlled the chariots and artillery developed by humans in the past, and it was really like they were controlling toys.
"Do you see where she landed? Self-propelled artillery group, delineate the range, carry out rapid fire, give them a ruthless!" ordered the officer in charge of the command of the entire battle bureau in a loud voice.
This is also the proper meaning of the question. After all, at the same time that Huang Yun saw those tanks, those tanks also discovered the location of Jim Guard.
Although it was impossible to concentrate fire on it because the body organization did not arrange a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun in the first place, they were still able to conduct reverse reconnaissance through the artillery radar to find out the location of Jimguard's whereabouts. In the case of self-propelled artillery, as long as the opponent's foothold is discovered, it can be remotely countered by artillery.
So, a series of orders were issued, and the self-propelled artillery cluster that stopped on the other side of the city, 12 kilometers away, quickly adjusted the direction of the artillery and the angle of the elevation of the barrel, and poured a series of bursting shells towards the area where Jim's Guard was.
For a moment, there was a loud roar, and the neighborhood where Jim Guard was located was shrouded in smoke and fire.
However, it didn't work. Although the performance of the Jim Guardian is not as good as that of the Vanguard Gundam, his mobility is far superior to that of a tank, and he borrowed the building as a cover to move elsewhere before the self-propelled gun could fire.
Fighting, running, and guerrilla warfare are in themselves the most frequently used tactics of mobile suits.
Moreover, although Yuan Hao showed Locke and the others the guns used by Jim Guard at the shooting range, in fact, the mobile suit designed completely according to the human body is not as simple as a firearm. A person can use a gun, with a grenade, and so can the Jim Guard.
After a barrage of artillery, the battlefield did not disappear, and the people of Zion understood that their opponents had not been killed.
So, where is he?
Jim Guard didn't show up, and Zion's side didn't know where he was.
They all got cautious. To this, the commander of Zion frowned. Without sufficient intelligence support, self-propelled artillery has no way to fire.
As a result, the commander had no choice but to give the order for the tank unit to move forward to reconnoiter the location of Jimguard. With the sound of rumbling tracks, twelve tanks drove down the city's main road to the place where Jim's Guard had disappeared.
They divided into two formations one after the other, and marched forward in a formation of geese.
While driving, two large black iron balls suddenly fell on the street.
"Be careful, there's a situation!" the tank crew stopped vigilantly. At this time, thick black smoke erupted continuously from the big iron ball, and instantly filled this side.
"Is it a smoke grenade? Enemy...... The enemy is definitely coming. "The people in the tank crew suddenly had a bad feeling.
The enemy will come, that's for sure.
It's just that where he's going to come from, that's what they don't know. The vision suddenly became worse, and the young reserve officer was even more frightened at this time, not knowing what to do.
They were a little at a loss.
"Dash...... Da ...... A series of crisp gunshots rang out above the roofs of the buildings to their left, and 100mm shells drilled into the tank's head with precision, turning it into explosive fireballs.
"He's there!" the tank crew was surprised.
Before they could react, however, Jimguard leaped off the building with a jet of thrusters and stepped onto the turret of a tank.
"Bah!" There was a loud bang, and under the crushing of dozens of tons of heavy objects, the body of this tank naturally flattened. It was crushed. Huang Yun used her actions to tell these people who operate traditional mobile weapons that mobile suits can actually exert combat power without relying on guns.
At this time, the figure of Jim Guard was inserted into the lieutenant generals of the tanks of both teams. Huang Yun took the beam saber off his back. The power was turned on, and a red pillar of light rose, and the scorching light reflected the goggle-clad eyes of the Jim Guard, and under the goggles, the eyes shone bloodthirsty red.
