"Before dinner." The platoon leader shrugged. "After all, we look like we're going to be stamped out."

"But we are sure to be trampled, Captain, does that thing really work?"

"Who knows, I just went to a basic school." The captain also said that he couldn't understand what those technicians were doing. "Besides, our cars are better than theirs. At least they run fine."

"Well, if it's the old thing, it won't work." The previous Titans were good at attacking, but turning in and maneuvering on a large scale would torture everyone, including the crew and logistics.

The new Odin tank is lower than the Titan, and its shape is closer to the modern tank style. However, it is still in the mode of four sets of tracks. The whole tank is spread out like a big pie. There are several combinations of main weapons and enhancements. There are electromagnetic compound guns with anti-armor capabilities, traditional origin stone rail guns that enhance anti-swarm capabilities, and short-range volcano guns that quickly wipe out infantry and light armor.

Recently, an anti-ship missile platform has been added, which can be said to be quite versatile, and the type under the camouflage net of the camp is equipped with electromagnetic compound guns.Replace the leaf cold box and weapon power furnace with a giant wet-ware battery, use four energy tubes for power supply, and can fire about 30 times at maximum power.

The 14 kg tungsten steel rod at 9 kilometers per second is enough to pierce the thickest land-ship armor. It is known as a warship hole punching machine. Although the hole has no effect on land-ships, it is lethal to surface warships and even large armored vehicles. The strength is a bit lacking.

However, as far as the height and flexibility of this kind of tank are concerned, it is only necessary to penetrate the skirt armor of the land carrier and blast the walking mechanism inside. The fixed target is the job of those anti-ship missiles. Such missiles The positions were arranged in several places behind the wall.

Without the use of Covenant materials and tools, the manufactured arcjet engine would be scrapped within 120 seconds of working time, and the flight control was very difficult, so it was simply made into a super-large V2 rocket.

If the terminal speed cannot be increased, then the amount of charge should be increased. The insane charge of 850 kg is enough to blow up the entire superstructure of a small half of the Dayanlou ship, or overturn the entire ship to one side.

But also because of this, the projectile is so huge that it can only be fired vertically. The silo camouflaged under the turf behind the wall has been completely filled. As long as Letania fires the first shot, these big guys can guarantee Every shot since then has been fired from this side.

"Boom!" The ground was trembling slightly, and a large-scale vehicle cluster was approaching the wall. "They are coming!" It was not the same as the army battle on Earth.

Because Terra has land-ships, the attack surface of the group army will not be too large, and a large number of personnel will move with the land-ships and various large-scale delivery platforms, such as mobile fortresses and mobile military stations.

Even if it is an army-level attack, on the front, there are about 200 land ships of various types, as well as the same number of mobile fortresses and mobile military stations, and there are about tens of kilometers of various armored vehicles spread around. .

Of course, no general would put an army group directly on the battlefield just to attack a border node. That would be simply... smashing walnuts with a [-]-ton hydraulic press, and they might be surrounded by people and beat them violently.

Therefore, Leitania's attack on this border post was only tentative, about the size of two battalions. However, the artillery preparations before the attack were indeed military-level, but the artillery was spread throughout the border. Attack surface of hundreds of kilometers.

At multiple breakthroughs on the borderline of hundreds of kilometers, tentative attacks are started simultaneously. Once the defense is found to be weaker, they will immediately concentrate their superior forces to break through. This is also the advantage of the attacker and the disadvantage of the defender.

You need to garrison troops in every possible place, and the opponent only needs to choose a point to concentrate on attacking. However, once the first line of defense is broken through, the next flexible defense and further opening of the battlefield will give the defender an advantage. it came out.

If it cannot withstand the attack of the defenders on the two wings or distract the defenders in time, then the attacker may be directly clamped by the two wings and the follow-up force will be directly wrapped, and then the whole thing will be dumped.

Moreover, the elastic defense also causes the defenders and the attackers to repeatedly compete for some important lines of defense and nodes. Compared with the defenders with perfect fortifications and logistics, the pressure and losses of the attackers will be much greater, and they have a local advantage in strength. , but still a disadvantage overall.

This is why when attacking in battle, try to be as unexpected as possible, instead of fighting in front of you, because the casualties will be very large, and it will be very troublesome to fight. If you don't have the advantage in strength, morale and equipment accident.

Moreover, if the attack is too smooth, it may lead to a disjointed front and back, and you will be hit head-on by the defenders who are waiting for work. It is a skill to fight well. On the contrary, it is easier to raid and blitz.

"Cannon fire!" Screaming shells screamed in the sky, Victoria's cluster piercing shells, this shell avoids Terra propellants and blasting charges, because the power of the origin stone energy absorption will decrease with the increase of the charge ratio. The problem.

It is a bit similar to the anti-infantry steel ball shells on the earth. The fired shells present a conical shape. When they reach the end point, they explode the shell, ignite the secondary charge, and shoot dozens or even hundreds of sharpened hollow steel arrows. Fires towards the target, covering an elliptical area.

It’s just that compared with the shrapnel and steel balls blown away by explosives, the coverage of this shell is too small, the weight is too large, and the armor-piercing ability is a bit excessive. It is amazing for infantry behind simple bunkers, but for skirmishers. Lack of coverage, one shot will not hit a few people at all.

As a result, this kind of shell can only be fired by the large-caliber naval gun of the battleship. However, when a large number of heavy artillery clusters on the battleship are concentrated to bombard the defensive facilities covering a small piece of defenders, the effect is very terrifying.

"Concealment!" Before he could get down in time, a large honeycomb-shaped cavity appeared on the steel wall in an instant, and the infantry hiding inside were flying with flesh and blood in an instant, and the hollow metal tubes easily nailed the soldiers to the ground one by one. The designed porous hollow structure makes this thing's bloodletting ability amazing.

Moreover, it will be very troublesome to rescue the wounded. The medical soldiers need to cut off the metal pipe with a hand saw to move the wounded, and they need to transfuse blood immediately, which is a devastating blow to the enemy's logistics and morale.

"Woo~bang~" The sharp whistle was followed by the blasting sound of warheads exploding and throwing directional piercing bombs. Such sounds kept ringing above the position. For the crew members hiding in Odin, every sound felt The heart was clenched tightly.

Fortunately, this kind of anti-infantry ammunition is meaningless to Odin's dragon steel armor. Except for the echo that sounds from time to time, nothing happens. Ruptures, dealing fragment damage to nearby infantry.

"It's time for us to set off!" "Thug!" Odin's engine started to run, and the waste heat of the tower heat furnace spewed out a ball of sparks with unreacted origin stone debris at the rear of the car body, and the chariot was run over and collapsed The camouflage structure that appears on the battlefield.

"The target distance is 3 kilometers, drive steadily!" The gunner stuffed a shell into the barrel, and the electromagnetic gun turned to the accelerating land assault ship and the track of the mobile fortress in the distance, "Fire!"

"Bang!" The sound of the electromagnetic gun was more dull and peculiar than that of the artillery, and the ammunition left a swirling hole in the dust raised by the land ship, "Boom!"

"Hit, invalid, come again!" The skirt armor of the land battleship was pierced in one shot, but the shell passed through the running mechanism and hit the chassis truss, which certainly destroyed the structure of the land battleship, but for such a ship For a city that moves on the ground, it is meaningless.

The sound of the hit is hidden by the noise of the land ship itself, and the smoke and dust from the previous shelling has become the best defense for the crew. No one realizes that the enemy is firing at them. However, this camouflage and cover cannot last too long.

Even if the height of the car body is much lower than most of Terra's vehicles, and it is protected by desert camouflage, it will still be discovered by the enemy. Among other things, the rippling spiral holes in the sand and dust are enough to attract the attention of the observation department.

"Be careful, the enemy has light armored units in ambush!"

"Escort chariot convoy to intercept them!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Lai Tania's scumbags have finally come to their senses, I said, are you alright? Boss, the tonnage on the other side is more than 900 times that of ours, it seems to be killing pigs with steel needles, be patient."

"Reverse, they are chasing them, change the regular bomb!" Odin's excellent walking mechanism design quickly switches the suspension and power modes, the front and rear drive modes are reversed, the tracks kick up a cloud of dust on the sand, and the car reverses immediately.

This amazing flexibility brings huge cost and processing difficulty. Master Nian did not embarrass the maintenance personnel in the logistics. Most of the mechanical parts are designed to be modular and easy to replace, but she is greatly embarrassing the army. The engineers and technical workers of the factory, and the little Xuezhi who made things difficult.

Reliability, maintainability, and cost are an impossible triangle. For the ultimate reliability and maintainability, the Kalashnikov rifle is a typical example. Don’t think that this thing is crudely made. In fact, this is a precision crafted rifle. A masterpiece, the production cost is actually greater.

And Odin is a typical example. To achieve high enough reliability for its complex structure, it needs to use more advanced materials and more resistant cutting processes instead of casting or stamping processes. To achieve the fastest maintenance, it is necessary to use It needs to be designed as a mode that can be quickly disassembled and replaced as a whole.

This means that the logistics department only needs to prepare enough suit parts to quickly replace its armor, suspension, tracks and various equipment at the speed of repairing an Odin in 30 minutes-then, the purchasing department and the financial department will kill .

However, for soldiers on the battlefield, they don't really care how much it costs to maintain and how many man-hours engineers spend to produce it. Flexible, reliable, easy to repair, and fast equipment are their best equipment. The equipment I like, as for the money...it's not deducted from their military salary.

For Letania's escort convoy, these chariots on the opposite side are simply slippery, and the four sets of independently driven walking mechanisms allow them to play all kinds of weird moves on the ground.

Emergency stop, sharp turn, S drift, front drive to rear drive show emergency stop and reverse, as if their drive gearbox and spindle are free of money-well, they cost money, and the consequence of playing like this is that the life expectancy is greatly reduced , enough to buy the running mechanism of three Letania escort tanks, under such high-intensity torture, it will fail within 200 hours at most.

"It's the fourth one, do these idiots really dare to chase it?" The range, speed and agility are not dominant, let alone the low center of gravity structure laid flat on the ground has good shooting stability. How dare they chase it up? , using that 800-year-old spell cannon to attack, isn't that delivering food?

"Bang!" The conventional explosive shell neatly left a hole in the six-wheeled chariot, and the next moment, this thing flew up, "The fifth one."

"It's time to deal with that land-ship." The land-ship had already hit the hidden obstacle in front of the wall, only paused for a moment, and then started again.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a loud breaking sound, one land-ship tilted abruptly and stopped moving, followed by the second one. It has to be said that the piles of Odin chariots hidden by Kazdel were indeed Give the Letanians a tactical lesson called "How to Use Light Armored Units".

"Boom!" The top cover exploded, and a huge pillar rose into the air, followed by the second, third, and fourth...

"Fuck, back up, run!" Oh my god, a group of anti-ship missiles are launched from this distance, and the 850 kg azide charge is not going to leave a way for our own people to survive?

After a few seconds, the entire world seemed to switch to a warmer tone in an instant. The sky was scarlet, and the flames of the explosion laughed wildly on the battlefield, whipping everything around with a red whip, and the metal armor The heavy car body is swirling and sliding in the sand like a toy model.

"My god, how many dragon flame bombs did the stupid X in the equipment department fill in?" The mushroom-shaped clouds slowly rose, not to mention that Letania had never seen this scene, and Kazdel himself hadn't seen it. seen.

Chapter 25 Poor tactics interspersed

A thin long wall looks like it will collapse if pushed, but in fact, the Letanians left a dozen land battleships and thousands of corpses and failed to cross it. It seems that they can attack everywhere and the defenders are exhausted. The investigative report from now can only be used as waste paper.

Scouts can't reach into the reconnaissance, and can only judge the enemy's defensive measures from the appearance. Those silos hidden underground are ignored. The field is the reason why the attacker suffered heavy losses.

The soil was fully turned over. Before the war started, the defenders changed the seedlings to lotus root crops that like humidity and mud. The sprinkler irrigation system is constantly replenishing water these days, which means that except for a few grounds, the rest are muddy ground. .

Vehicles such as light armored vehicles, six-wheeled escort chariots, and Odin tanks can barely pass through, and Letania's chariots will also greatly increase the failure rate due to being stuck in mud.

However, the land vehicle will get stuck in the quagmire when it enters. Although it is not very difficult to break free with the power of such a super large vehicle, the problem is that while decelerating and sinking into the mud, there is also a plant in the half-person-high crop. A pile of anti-ship mines and an infantry team with a melta cannon is hard.

After losing several warships, the Letanians were unknowingly constrained by the muddy terrain to a few preset battlefields. It cannot be said that the opponent's general level is too low to see through this, but even They knew that unless they withdrew their troops as a whole or wasted this precious raid time and waited for the sun to dry the fields, they could only bite the bullet and fight.

Letania released a large number of drones to try to blow up the defenders' water pipelines, so that the crops in the Longnan Desert, which already lacked water, died very quickly, and the muddy land would no longer be replenished with water.

However, these drones, which flew at a lower range than both the Supporter Rifle and the newer version of the Raider Rifle, were quickly dealt with by the precision shooters after they crossed the high wall, while the large type artillery Harbinger's The drone was destroyed by anti-aircraft fire.

The infantry tactics of the Letanians are still using the old group tactics. Even though new techniques such as civil excavation operations and artillery fire suppression have been added due to changes in the times, the essence is still that a group of people carry rifles and move quickly along trenches or bunkers. Approaching the target, relying on the magic of the team warlock to suppress the enemy in the trench, and then break through the defense line.

Of course, limited by the environmental adaptability of the brain chip, Kazdel has not progressed to the level of digitally synthesized troops in modern warfare, but has only reached the level of infantry tactics during World War II, and will no longer pile up and wait for artillery.

Most of them are scattered in small groups, relying on cross-fire points everywhere to eliminate the enemy. When necessary, the communication equipment issued to the squad will allow them to quickly withdraw from the position to avoid artillery strikes, and then carry out an attack against the enemy without infantry coordination. counter charge.

Even in corridors, behind walls, near blasted gaps, and enemy troops come and go in elastic defense operations, any area that the enemy cannot occupy for a long time will be quickly recaptured and then become a firepower point for the defenders.

The constant reciprocation of probing and scrambling has greatly consumed the offensive vigor and energy of the Letanians, especially those Sarkaz fire teams are the most troublesome.

Their weapons are much lighter than Letania's spell cannons, and the magic range of squad warlocks can't reach them, which often leads to the fact that these fire teams can quickly take advantage of the terrain and deal head-on damage to Letania's group infantry Whack.

The French had already proved how many lives it would take to break through the cross-rapid fire blockade with infantry charges, and in Terra, it was the turn of Letania's generals to teach this lesson for later generations.

"Thu chu~" The light machine gun made by the supporter's assault rifle happily spewed steel bullets. In Kazdel's arsenal, this multifunctional electromagnetic weapon is the equipment that everyone likes.

However, it is said that due to the relationship between craftsmanship, materials and cost, such a good weapon will be withdrawn from their deployment sequence, and now there is one bad one and one less, which makes most frontline soldiers feel very uncomfortable.

For the Letanian, it wasn't a matter of discomfort, but a feeling that he was being drenched by a heavy rain made of steel.

Lightness, agility, precision, stable rate of fire, and large enough magazines. For the Letanian infantry who are being held up by the machine gun position, the above advantages are just like dogs. Their hand crossbows and staffs are not enough. To that jerk hiding in the barn attic.

As long as there is a little bit exposed from the edge of the field, a series of bursts that are as precise as sniper shots will sweep over, leaving behind almost half a squad of corpses, and the distance from the barn is almost 100 meters. Now it is a dilemma.

To retreat back, you have to climb another 100 meters within that bastard's shooting range, and to attack forward, you have to cross an open field road. It will turn burst shooting into full automatic, and give them a 6mm steel arrow bath.

Fortunately, the fleet still has more gunfire than the Kazdels. The biggest disadvantage of Kazdel is the lack of mobile fortresses and super-large armor units at the level of land-ships. Most of their land-ships are transformed from cargo ships. There are only a few warships, except for the one made by Rhodes Island and Victoria, the rest are antiques that can enter the museum.

This is also the reason why the doctor did not take the initiative to attack after declaring war. He did not lead the enemy's land-ship fleet into the desert and bad land of Kazdel to consume it. If he took the initiative to attack, the fleet on hand would be exhausted in a day. , and then rely on human life to pile up those mobile fortresses that cost tens of thousands of tons?

Defensive warfare can use the pre-arranged permanent artillery fortifications and heavy artillery, ground-to-ground missiles and other weapons to cause fatal kills to these land ships. The offensive can't move heavy artillery of this level around, it depends on the armor Even if the firepower can injure the land cruiser, it cannot effectively destroy it.

The reason is very simple. Land-ships are not warships at sea. They will not sink. No matter how seriously injured they are, they are just a fortress sitting on the ground. If they attack Letania, the latter can use these fortresses to block Dr.'s attack route. , and the lack of mobile heavy artillery firepower, it is very difficult to pull out these fortresses made of tens of thousands of tons of steel one by one.

A warship that sinks at sea, such a tonnage thing, throwing stones with heavy artillery for an afternoon may not be able to achieve results. If it will not sink at all on land, the price to be completely destroyed will be too high.

The previous bombing scene, which was called doomsday, only completely destroyed three land-ships, and stopped the surrounding two ships, which needed to be towed back for repairs or turned into front-line garrison fortresses.

"Cannon fire!" Several groups of dark purple light bullets fell, which were clusters of high-energy stone particles, commonly known as magic bullets. In an instant, the upper part of the barn disappeared.

The spell cannon does not cause a serious explosion shock wave. It is a bit like a plasma weapon. It will cause ionization and heat killing effects on the target area. The impact is very small. A state that blows the entire barn up.

It will only destroy all obstacles along the way, and then leave a charred and deep crater on the target ground. The sound of the light machine gun stopped, and the Letanian infantry cheered, and climbed onto the road with hand crossbows and various weapons. Roadbed, heading towards the barn.

They need to capture that stronghold, and then establish a forward position in preparation for the next siege of that beautiful glass curtain wall building.

The follow-up troops will also push up the light field artillery, and two light unprotected assault vehicles are also on the way. They have to avoid Odin, who is hiding in the shadow of the ruins and the wall, and is repairing the tracked incarnation of the fixed turret. tank.

Not to mention this crude vehicle with a pile of steel pipes all over its body, even a lightly armored escort tank can't withstand a direct hit from the opponent's electromagnetic gun, let alone those equipped with Originium rail guns and volcano cannons.

The former is an anti-swarm artillery. Once fired, half of the convoy will be gone. If the rate of fire is not too slow, and with Odin’s tonnage and power, he can’t do the same thing as the Titan’s marching and firing without overturning, Letania At least 50% more corpses must be dropped to blast through the wall and rush in.

And those land battleships will also lose two small ones. After all, the origin stone railgun can really destroy the target of the size of the frigate. The dragon flame bullet will soften or even burn the main beam of the target, resulting in permanent mutilate.

As for the volcanic cannon, Odin has to be connected to an external cooling group to fire. Although the Letanians don't know what it is, these tanks with bloated leaf-cooled equipment were still attacked immediately. To precise removal-they carry so many things, no matter what they are used for, they will not come for a picnic anyway.

Even so, the surviving volcanic tanks made Letania's entire infantry battalion disappear on the way to the charge, and the magic fireball in 0.01 seconds swept over like a wall of fire. It disappeared in less than 10 rounds, and the light infantry was left with a pile of cooked meat in about an hour before they could breathe. The dense formation simply increased the performance of this thing.

Those who were not killed on the spot were also ignited, and then rolled and howled on the ground, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of one's own side.

Just when the Letania infantry ran to the other side of the road and were dragging the infantry spell cannon through the mud pit, the nightmare sound of gunfire sounded again, and several engineers who were trying to drag the cannon body fell down on the spot , the fragile magic device on the cannon body was also damaged under the cover of the extremely penetrating steel arrows.

"Damn! That grandson is still alive!" Those who ran back died on the exposed road, while those who turned over the road had no cover from the roadbed, so they could only crawl with their heads in their arms. , in the mud that emits a peculiar smell, hoping that those seedlings can block the sight of the machine gunner.

Now the fire point of the machine gun has been moved to the fire water tower next to the barn. Of course, this position is not as good as the previous position. If you encounter an enemy sniper with a long-range sniper crossbow or a power crossbow produced by Victoria, you have to be killed on the spot on top.

However, now the Letanians have no courage to look up at all, and their number of snipers is not large, at least it is unlikely to be able to catch up in a short time.
