Men's Kapishi

Looking from the cockpit to the arm of the mech raised to the front, it is difficult for Skadi to describe this wonderful feeling, as if the steel fist that was clenched and then released is the extended limb of himself sitting in the cockpit, there is no Any jerky and stagnant sensations.

"How does it feel?"

"Interesting." Skadi moved the two mechanical arms, and then tried to control the Titan to walk towards the test field in the center of the hangar.

Accompanied by the slight rhythmic vibration of the cockpit, with the assistance of AI, Skadi quickly adapted to the convenience brought by the neural link. First, he controlled the Titan to trot for a few steps, and then the range of motion became larger and larger.

"Miss Skadi! Run slowly!" Skadi's outrageous behavior made Xuezhi feel nervous. After all, this was the first time Skadi drove a Titan, and safety came first.

But Skadi just responded with a "huh" and didn't mean to stop at all, flying up and down on the test field full of obstacles.

Now she is no longer satisfied with the simple test actions listed on the head-up display, and has started to try various obstacle-crossing actions and more difficult maneuvers.

"There are weapons, right?" Skadi stopped by the side of the test field, and she had already seen the targets that were set up for testing.

With the approval of Dr. Lawrence, the test team reissued the task to Skadi.Following the instructions on the head-up display, Skadi walked towards several containers that slowly unfolded into weapon racks.

Looking at the dazzling array of weapons, Skadi hesitated for a moment, skimmed over the weapon components of various shapes, reached for the hilt of a wide-backed long knife, and relaxed this heavy weapon with a weight of tons. hold.

The torrential power output allowed Skadi to clearly feel the power of the test body. After confirming the tactile sensation fed back through the nerve link, Skadi took a deep breath and pulled the giant blade out of the weapon.

According to his own usage habits, the tip of the knife pointed obliquely at the ground, and Skadi stood in front of the huge metal target used for testing.

After obtaining the authority to operate the weapon, a thin line of light flashed out from the blade of the giant long knife, and the astonishing heat emitted caused the light passing through the surrounding air to be refracted and distorted.

"Bang! Bang!" After a loud noise, the alloy target board had been cut in half by Skadi's knife.

Monitoring the data transmitted to the big screen in real time, Lawrence adjusted his glasses tremblingly, staring closely at the Titan on the test field.

Under the control of Skadi, the speed of swinging the sword of the Titan-[-] machine has exceeded the speed of sound, and the loud noise of the shock wave produced by the blade crossing the speed of sound is the best proof.

"How's the situation?" Lawrence turned on the microphone again and asked the testers who went to confirm the situation.

"Very... amazing, the alloy test target with a thickness of 500 mm was directly cut off."

Although it is clear how excellent the No. [-] machine driven by Skadi has gathered all the resources he can use, Lawrence was not slightly relieved until this time, at least now he has a feeling for Karak Heavy Industries who took him in. Not a bad explanation.

Listening to the exclamation of the staff, Skadi was also reminiscing about the powerful blow just now. He didn't expect that the equipment that Xuezhi found for himself to test had such strength.

Although the manipulation is not as flexible as using your own body, it is good enough.What's more, judging from the large number of weapon modules that can be selected just now, powerful long-range weapons seem to be the main weapons used in the design.

However, compared to those guns and firearms, Skadi trusts the strong and reliable giant sword more.

"Miss Scati, can you hear me?"

"Well, yes." Hearing the call of the snow pheasant, Skadi came back to his senses, avoided the staff who surrounded him to check the situation, fixed the long knife on the weapon rack behind the mech, and then waited for the testers to go outside. Check the condition of the body.

"There will be some thermal weapon testing projects after that, so I won't be with you. I wish the next testing work all the best."

After explaining the situation to Skadi, Snow Pheasant cut off the communication. The test work here went well, so she also needs to take the scheduled transport plane back to the Red Bank base as planned, and there are still a lot of things waiting for her to do.

Although it is a bit hard to go back and forth, who told Karak Heavy Industries that there is a huge gap in scientific research and senior engineering personnel.

Talents like Snow Pheasant who hold the position of assistant researcher and can flexibly adjust their positions wish to break one in half and use it, and there is no way to work harder.

Even if there is no luggage, Snow Pheasant is in a hurry so as not to miss the boarding time.After laying the seat folded on the bulkhead flat, fastening the seat belt and sitting firmly, Xuezhi touched his pocket as if suddenly remembering something.

Fortunately, the vomit bag I prepared has not been forgotten.Thinking of his symptoms of airsickness and fear of heights, Xuezhi was secretly worried. He had tried all kinds of folk remedies, but nothing worked.

However, because of work, he still needs to fly frequently. Although he is gradually familiar with this large-scale machine flying in the sky, Xuezhi's airsickness has not improved.However, Snow Pheasant felt that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to overcome these small difficulties one day.

At the Red Shore Base, thousands of miles away, the new equipment waiting to be transported to the Sami Rebels was also ready to go, quietly displayed in the warehouse at the dock.

Only General Shuang, the head of the logistics department of Karak Heavy Industry, stood at the warehouse door while checking the list in his hand while rubbing his temples to relieve his headache. These T-72 main battle tuckers full of pits and valleys were sent to Sami.

Chapter 320 Chapter 43 Strategic Stalemate

As the Ursas Western Army Group gained actual control over most of the Sami area, the overall situation in Sami began to develop towards a stalemate.

The Ursus military also began to eagerly seize and share the war dividends, but the Sami guerrillas active in the countryside and forests brought great resistance to the actions of the Ursas army.

As a war machine designed to deal with decisive battles by large groups, the Ursus regular army is a mess from top to bottom for the new form of public security warfare.The old tactics of patrolling and clearing small units and encircling and suppressing large forces have completely failed in Sami.

The Sami guerrillas equipped with light and heavy firearms can easily suppress small-scale Ursus patrols in terms of long-range firepower, and their firepower is even stronger than the armored vehicle-mounted weapon stations of the Ursas army.

After all, most of the armored vehicles are equipped with old heavy crossbows. Although the high-explosive and special arrows are powerful and the range is barely enough, the firepower density is not enough. The protection performance is also worrying against the armor-piercing bullets of light and heavy machine guns.

At the beginning, the Ursus military tried to improve the asymmetry of firepower by increasing the number of frontline patrols and artillery warlocks, but the high casualties made it difficult for the Ursus army to accept.

Even providing high-standard power armor for warlocks on the front line can't change the situation of being given priority in firefights-once the warlocks are exposed, they will be sniped by precise firepower.

At first, they were called out by the high-precision sniper rifles of the snipers. With the equipment of armor and heavy protective gear, the warlocks who gave up part of their tactical mobility did indeed improve their combat efficiency and battlefield survivability for a period of time.

Why do you say it is a period of time?Because after discovering that the enemy's protection has been upgraded, the firepower of the guerrillas has also been upgraded.The Sami guerrillas, who undertook the task of testing weapons, reported this problem to Karak Heavy Industries, and soon obtained new equipment.

The Ursus army quickly discovered that something was wrong.

Originally, the heavy machine guns in the hands of the Sami guerrillas could not move around, so it was difficult to have the opportunity to maneuver after the exchange of fire, and it was very attractive to hatred, and it was often OB.

This kind of weapon, which is extremely threatening even if it is wearing heavy armor, will also be attacked first by the warlocks of the Ursus army, and it will be blown to pieces with bombardment spells.

After the Ursas military provided power armor to the frontline warlocks, because the snipers could not deal with the enemy warlocks in the first place, they needed heavy firepower to fire first and shoot at the enemy warlocks, so the loss was not small. Cases of anxious being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy's support occur from time to time.

But as time went on, Ursas patrols began to frequently report encounters with guerrillas armed with multiple heavy machine guns.It's just that the size of the guerrillas who conduct harassment is usually not very large, and it is obviously impossible to carry multiple heavy machine guns for combat.

It wasn't until the picture of a guerrilla machine gunner walking swiftly in the woods carrying a heavy machine gun was seen by the Ursus mobile unit who came to support, that the Ursus army found out the reason for the surge in guerrilla firepower.

The Ursus warlock wearing power armor found that the large-caliber rifle bullets that flew silently before had become 40mm caliber HEDP precision high-speed grenades. A grenade flew from the position.

After being hit directly, the armor on the Warlock's body can generally remain intact, but the body inside will be smashed into a bloody mess by the metal jet and the fragments that bounce repeatedly, causing serious damage to Ursus soldiers, especially heavy armor soldiers. A great burden on my heart.

At the same time, the self-forging fragments of the high-explosive double-effect grenade also have considerable surface damage to nearby people, not to mention that this evil thing not only has a long range and high accuracy, but can also shoot tm.As a result, the grenade launchers in the hands of Ursus soldiers are like this thing, and no one wants to stay with the warlock on the march.

As a result, many Ursus warlocks complained that they suffered cold violence and deliberate murder from their colleagues on the battlefield when they were patrolling.In fact, it is not to blame for those Ursus soldiers, who are too close to the warlocks in the team, so they may be able to eat 40mm grenades when they are not sure.

The guerrillas with improved firepower attacked the logistics and transportation teams of the Ursas army, checkpoints, and controlled mines more frequently, and released the Sami miners who were captured for mining. The one-hit Sami guerrillas became more and more an eyesore.

However, after several large-scale sieges, there was little gain. With the intelligence and information support provided by Karak Heavy Industries, coupled with the advantages of internal operations, the intelligence and informatization level of the Sami guerrillas completely surpassed the Ursus army, especially in the The long-distance cross-theater coordination and command capability far exceeds the imagination of the Ukrainian army.

The Sami guerrillas, who are the key training objects of crossing the public, have even begun to contact and try to use the C3I command system that relies on Karak Heavy Industry equipment and data links.

This information-based command system that can change the rules of war is completely a dimensionality reduction blow to the Ursas army. No matter how many fleets and troops are invested, it is difficult to catch the guerrilla's flaws, and the latter can be on the front of hundreds of kilometers. Launch dozens of battles at the same time, and the time is accurate to the second.

Even if the guerrillas make tactical mistakes and fall into the encirclement, they can often ask for help from the Karak Heavy Industries Army Aviation Flying Team, and take a helicopter overnight to transfer to the rear of the encirclement hundreds of kilometers away.

In order to change this unfavorable form, the Ursas military has urgently introduced armored vehicles equipped with advanced reconnaissance and weapon systems to Raytheon Industries to replace those active armored vehicles that are like soap boxes facing Karak Heavy Industries individual anti-armor weapons.

Then it was disturbed by the air raid that passed through the Wuzhi brigade.

And the advanced armored vehicles that had been equipped with a small amount were quickly lost under the ambush of larger caliber rockets and a larger number of 12.7 or even 14.5 mm caliber heavy machine guns.

This made the Ursus military understand a truth through blood like the hairy boys in another time and space-never use an armored personnel carrier as an infantry fighting vehicle.

As the weather got colder and the daylight hours got colder, the frequency and intensity of fighting on both sides of the war began to decline.This period of time is a rare respite for both the Ursas and the Sami guerrillas.

The snipers of the Sami guerrillas were lurking in the dark, and the Ursus army, huddled in fortifications, mobile fortresses and land ships, finally had time to try new methods of finding counter-guerrilla stations.

It has to be said that war is an important driver of technological progress. After a few months, according to the information provided by the Sami guerrillas, the cross-travelers were surprised to find that the Ursus army had actually fiddled with Tark.

Chapter 321 Chapter 44 Ursus Earthen Tantalum Gram

After getting the video data and combat records submitted by the Sami guerrillas, the cross-travelers couldn't help being dumbfounded. The reason why the new toy made by Ursus is called Tanko is because it has cannons and tracks. nostalgic name for .

According to the video data obtained and the evaluation of the Sami soldiers on the front line, the people who traveled across the country were not very interested in the war machine temporarily developed by the Ursus military, and they did not have the idea of ​​sending a special team to scan or recover it.

From the appearance alone, this thing is far from the tantalum gram in the modern sense of Blue Star. It is not so much a tantalum gram as it is an ultra-small land cruiser.

In the battle between the Ursus infantry and the Sami guerrillas, protection, firepower, and mobility were all at a disadvantage. In most cases, it was necessary to rely on the absolute superiority of the number and the artillery support provided by the fleet to win.

Since land ships were equipped with powerful spell cannons and various war formula launch arrays, the war pattern of the Terra world has been profoundly changed, and powerful land fleets have gradually become the protagonists of the war.

The failure of the fleet decisive battle often means defeat and the countdown of resistance.The super strength of armor, firepower, and mobility makes land battleships invincible in wars, and the role that ordinary infantry can play in wars is getting smaller and smaller.

Therefore, in Terra, whether it is individual equipment or infantry tactics, the development after the appearance of land-ships is quite limited, and the tantalum and armored vehicles that have been filled by land-ships cannot develop. Protective power armor is more popular on Terra.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Terra's energy system. The miniaturization of the Originium furnace or the Originium energy core has always been a worldwide problem.

The power source of small vehicles was not a reliable solution until the development of Originium Industry in recent decades and the emergence of power machinery using liquid fuel.Various family cars and trucks used for short-distance freight can be promoted and popularized.

The small Originium engines used before are not a power solution that can be popularized in terms of output, reliability or cost.

It’s just that the development time is still short, and neither the output nor the cost can satisfy people. According to the survey of the public, limited by material technology and cost, the general power output of internal combustion engines used in Terra vehicles and small vehicles is between 200 and 300 horsepower. between horsepower.

The power is enough for a family car and a small truck, but it is not good enough for an armored vehicle, except of course the kind of thing that is welded with a layer of steel plate to be considered an armored vehicle.

And most of Terra's armored units that support infantry at close range are actually this thing, but the shape and name are different.

Ursus has already experienced how vulnerable this kind of thing, which is at best an armored transport vehicle, is in the face of an epoch-making individual weapon that uses chemical energy.

Not only is it impossible to cover infantry operations, it even becomes a burden in combat.Once the convoy is ambushed, the probability of being caught in the car is infinitely expanded.

The huge and expensive land-ships are obviously not suitable for supporting infantry in many situations. The land-ships are indeed excellent in maneuverability, but that refers to the strategic maneuverability, and the tactical maneuverability is really appalling.

After all, when fighting on land, you can't expect the battlefield to be as flat as the sea, but any gaps and ridges can make the land cruiser toss for a long time.Therefore, the large-scale battles of Terra's modern wars are often carried out around mobile cities and routes-only places with flat and open terrain are suitable for fleet decisive battles.

As for the terrain that is not suitable for the maneuvering of warships and gunboats, it can only be filled by infantry.

Faced with the fact that the existing armored vehicles were beaten by the Sami guerrillas and could not find their way to the north, the Ursus military clearly urgently needed a new type of armored unit.

It is obvious that such things as not being able to beat the guerrillas cannot be reported to the country, so the Ursus Western Army Group started the secret research and development of tantalum behind the back of the emperor and the Ursus Supreme Command.

First of all, it must be small enough to adapt to various terrains, secondly, it must have enough reliable armor to protect the internal members, and secondly, it must be able to carry powerful vehicle-mounted weapons to support and cover infantry operations.

At first, the Ursus military planned to upgrade the chassis of the existing armored vehicles, but the Karak weapons in the hands of the Sami guerrillas were extremely powerful, especially the armor-piercing warhead of the rpg rockets could easily reach Penetration level of 400mm thick homogeneous steel armor.

This led to the embarrassing situation of adding more water to every face and more water at the speed of light, an Ursus military engineer who didn't know what composite armor was, in order to meet the protection needs.

Add armor - overweight - underpowered - broke down - change the engine - heavier - change to a bigger chassis - the armor is diluted and have to continue to add thicker armor...

In the end, there was no other way. The armored vehicles were inexperienced, but the engineers of the Ursas military could build land-ships. Abandoning the original chassis made the project improve immediately, but after the design and prototype manufacturing were completed, this "" The weight of "Tantalum Gram" has reached an astonishing 170 tons.

However, this kind of flooding-style armor reinforcement makes its frontal armor thickness reach an astonishing 370 mm, and its equivalent thickness is as high as 440 mm. The side and rear armor are also sufficient to defend against all Karak Heavy Industry products captured on the battlefield and obtained by other means. light and heavy machine guns and grenades.

The engines used by small vehicles and light armored vehicles naturally cannot meet the power needs of this monster, so a small source stone furnace installed on the gunboat had to be used.

However, for the sake of passability and terrain adaptability, the car body cannot be made too large, which leads to the power and transmission system being evenly distributed in the entire Tantalum Cree, and it is full of stuff, and this huge power system from the gunboat is still 12 full-time crew members are required to serve to ensure normal work.

The remaining space and tonnage did not allow any additional weapon systems, but the Ursus military still firmly stuffed a small-caliber Originium rapid-fire gun in the front of the car, and installed four heavy ballistas on the roof.

Originally, the Ursus military hoped that the "Tantagram" could directly use the 102mm Originium cannon on the armored assault boat, but found that the cannon was too big and too long, and there was no way to reload it after it was inserted.

Therefore, the number of crew members has reached an astonishing number. There are 32 people in the whole fortress, which is really a bit of a hell.

Just imagining 32 teddy bears fighting in a small confined space stuffed with a lot of originium machines and originium explosives can make people shudder.

However, the limitations of power, chassis, and design really do not allow the car body to continue to be enlarged. It is already too big. Standing outside, you can see how disharmonious the huge car body is on the short and thin tracks.

Appearance is the combat effectiveness, how the combat effectiveness of this thing can be imagined.But for this kind of emergency equipment, the Ursas military still decided to send it to the battlefield.

Chapter 322 Chapter 45 Steel Monster

Of course, the middle and high levels of the Ursus army also know what kind of precious things they have created, and they don’t produce many, but this is also a helpless way, let’s make use of it first.

The first batch of trial "Heavy Armored Assault Vehicles" was sent to the front line, and it was no surprise that they received rave reviews.

The first is maneuverability. To be honest, because the power system of the land-based gunboat is used, it is a bit crowded to squeeze in, but the power output is very powerful.

It is really commendable that such a big thing can run at a top speed of 22 kilometers per hour.But this is only extreme speed, because of the excessive weight, accidents such as car traps are very prone to occur on non-hard roads.

But these are small problems. The severe cold environment makes Sami's land hard enough until spring.The really serious problem was that this early tantalum was top-heavy and the handling was ridiculous.

Think about it too, in order to be able to resist the RPG rockets in the hands of the guerrillas, the Ursus engineers who did not point out the composite armor technology installed armor blocks comparable to the main armor of the battleship on the front of this assault tantalum, plus One can imagine the weight of the main gun and shells stuffed on the top.

Although it has been optimized and balanced as much as possible, there are still flaws that cannot be ignored. When the driver brakes, the inertia will throw the entire tantalum forward, and it will evolve into a tantalum on the ground. .

The point is that there are 36 furry bears in the car.Once the speed is raised, it is more exciting than taking a pirate ship. If you drive at a normal speed, let alone whether there will be non-combat attrition before reaching the battlefield, the driver may be beaten to death by angry passengers.

However, in terms of defense and firepower, the feedback from the front line is quite good. Compared with the various light vehicles used before, the defense has been significantly improved. The light weapons used by the guerrillas are already difficult to cause serious damage at long distances. .

Although the use of rockets and other chemical energy armor-piercing warheads still has a chance to penetrate the front, it is unlikely that the guerrillas will destroy them at a long distance like they did against the off-road vehicles and light armored vehicles used by the Ursas patrols.

However, it still cannot provide sufficient protection at close range, because the car body is too large, causing various anti-armor weapons of the Sami guerrillas to hit every shot at close range.

The power and transmission system occupy a lot of space. It is indeed difficult to be destroyed, but it is very easy to be paralyzed after being penetrated, resulting in an embarrassing scene where you cannot run away but cannot be beaten.

There were about two squads of guerrillas led by officers trying to ambush a supply convoy at the Ursas outpost, and accidentally encountered this kind of homemade tantalum.

In line with the idea of ​​coming here and finding a way to fuck the fuck first, the guerrillas used the two RPG-7 rocket-assisted grenade launchers they carried to fire four rockets at the side of the huge steel monster.

The power system of the Ursus Tank suddenly failed, paralyzed in place and caught fire.After using superior firepower to disperse the strong men and auxiliary troops, the guerrilla officers, who thought they had won an easy victory, were just about to lead their troops to set fire to the supplies transported by Ursas.

Unexpectedly, Tacre, who was emitting thick smoke, suddenly got out of a whole row of Ursus fur bears, and rushed over screaming, scaring the guerrillas to run away when the situation was not good, until a furry bear stepped on the guerrillas The pursuit was stopped after anti-personnel mines were dropped during the retreat.
