Men's Kapishi

"Da-da-da! Da-da-da!"

A light machine gun fired violently, kicking off the counterattack.Although the exposed light machine gun position was quickly covered by artillery fire, the continuous gunfire still disrupted the rhythm of Ursus' attack.

Seeing two bright light spots flying towards the Ursus gunboat in the distance with a whistling sound, the drone knew that the remaining anti-armor team had opened fire.

Pointing the gun at the back of a group of Ursus soldiers who skipped past him, the target drone pulled the trigger.

With crisp gunshots accompanied by muzzle tremors, four Ursas were knocked down, two were killed on the spot, one was seriously injured and the other was slightly injured.

The target drone did not hesitate, and immediately retreated according to the planned route. The complicated trenches provided great convenience for the defenders.

While the target drone lowered its body and quickly evacuated, it did not forget to take out two anti-personnel landmines the size of teacup lids from its tactical satchel and throw them on the spot.

"Boom! Boom!"

Hearing two not-so-big explosions, the corners of the drone's mouth raised upwards. This kind of anti-personnel landmine is not only small and easy to carry and deploy, but also full of malicious design ideas.It does not pursue fatality, but the light charge can directly blow the soles of the feet of those who accidentally touch the mine.

At least one would lose combat capability and need more people to take care of them, and at worst one would become disabled. This could almost be a death sentence in Terra, especially in the complex battlefield environment, where open wounds often meant infection with ore disease.

"Why! Why! Why!" Vladimir, the commander of the Fifth Ursus Corps, thundered in the command post, "Why are there still living Sami people on that damned hillside!"

Looking at the silent staff officers who were as quiet as cicadas, watching their noses and noses with concern, Vladimir was furious, and the naval guns fired in turn, even using the main guns of the mobile fortress!Even a mobile city should be restored to its parts state!

Why are those damn Sami people still resisting!

The strategic center of the entire Fifth Army, on the second day of the offensive, was turned to completely destroy the remaining Sami troops entrenched on this small high ground.

But what Vladimir never thought was that even if he released the water and let the retreating Sami people leave, the three-day siege could not wipe out the remaining Sami remnants!Let alone annihilation, with the support of naval guns and fortress guns, they didn't even occupy the surface positions!

Thinking of this, Vladimir clenched his fist and slammed it on the table. Those bastard Sami nobles, I must make them look good-the night when I lost the first battle, I was still holding a battle with the staff and the officer corps. The meeting discussed whether to bypass the Sami defense line and go straight to the Sami hinterland or continue to attack.

The headquarters of the war zone even directly issued an attack order and mobilized a mobile fortress to come to support, demanding that they must take down the Sami position in the shortest possible time and wipe out the stubborn enemy forces.

Such an abnormal interference in the frontline command made Vladimir feel an unsettled sense of crisis in his heart. He used his contacts in Fort St. Jun and begged his father to tell his grandma to work all night before Vladimir understood the reason.

The Sami aristocrat who suffered a thousand knives dispatched an aircraft to Fort St. Jun overnight, and handed in a video about the fiasco of the Fifth Army in the morning!

This drama can be described as drastic, and the news of his disastrous defeat at the hands of a group of Sami militia spread like wildfire.In order to restore the reputation, the theater command and itself had to change the focus of operations, and this small group of Sami people must be wiped out to save face.

But the more they fought, the more frightened they became. No matter how fiercely the fleet bombarded them, these Sami people seemed to be endless.

I used a lot of resources myself, trying to accumulate some military and political capital for myself, trying to go a step further, but I didn't expect that the car overturned at the first step of the plan.

I am afraid that what I am accumulating now is no longer political capital and military merit, but a reminder that is constantly approaching. No matter whether I can finally capture the Sami position and annihilate the stubborn Sami people, my military and political career will end.

It is my greatest wish to enjoy my old age comfortably.

And the culprit of all this is the Sami nobles hundreds of kilometers away, apart from the Sami army still entangled with the Ursus attacking force not far away.

The combat video was almost a noose around his throat, but he hadn't occupied this small area with a width of less than two kilometers in front for three days, so he kept tightening the noose around his neck.

Thinking of this, Vladimir leaned weakly against the back of the wide leather chair, staring at the ceiling of the command room with ecstatic eyes.

Don’t you Sami nobles want to keep your own land and property? It’s very good. Don’t blame me for being fifteen when you are in the first grade of junior high school. When you get rid of the small Sami army in front of you, you can go straight to the Sami capital.

The fief area of ​​all Sami nobles will not decrease, or even increase, but the Sami nobles need to go to the extreme northern tundra to claim it in person. As for the Sami land, I believe many people in China will be interested, maybe I can exchange a little bit of chips for myself.

"Oh!"

An explosion from far away interrupted Vladimir's thinking. It sounded like it was some distance away from the anchorage of the fleet. Just as he was judging the location of the explosion, a shock wave with a loud sound swept across the Ursus fleet, shaking the portholes. And the chandelier in the cabin shook for a while.

"What's going on!" Vladimir immediately got up and asked, his decades of combat experience made him instinctively realize that something big had happened.

"Report to the army commander! The mobile fortress of the Nicholas the Great was hit by an unknown attack! The theater command has lost contact!"

A strong sense of dizziness flooded Vladimir's head, and he sat down with difficulty leaning on the back of the chair. Vladimir felt that the whole world was spinning.

It's over, something really happened.

Chapter 177 Chapter 67 Hunting Nicholas

"The Nicholas the Great, the mobile fortress of the Ursus Empire, with a modular design. After the assembly is completed, it is 3.42 kilometers long and 2.11 kilometers wide. Its weight is unknown, and its size is almost equivalent to the core city of a mobile city."

In the dim briefing room, the main lighting was almost off, only the auxiliary lighting installed on the aisle and the baseboard on the wall and the big screen in front of the briefing room were on, and the faces of more than a dozen people on and off the stage also flashed brightly. The screen flickers on and off.

The plan to attack the mobile fortress was proposed by Tassel, and the person who made the report on the stage was naturally also Tassel.

"The economic speed is 15 kilometers per hour, the top speed is over 30 kilometers per hour, and it carries 4000 people. It has made outstanding achievements and played an important role in Ursas's previous foreign wars. It is a mobile fortress of the same level as the Ursas Empire. Only five."

"These are the intelligence that can be obtained by the government, or the official information disclosed by Ursus, and they are commissioned by Rem Billiton to collect them."

"The following is the unpublished information of Ursus. The weapon system of the fortress is unknown, but it should be equipped with relatively advanced fire control computers and related sensors, and has a short-range defense system composed of directed energy weapons."

"We had two drones that were shot down because they were too close, and the flight data showed that 4 seconds before being shot down, the temperature sensor alarmed because of abnormal body temperature."

"The probability of interception against missiles and precision-guided bombs is unknown."

"Only through high-altitude reconnaissance, what can be confirmed at present is that this mobile fortress is equipped with at least one super-standard large-caliber artillery. From the aerial photography data, it can be inferred that its caliber is above 4000mm."

"It can launch conventional shells and rocket-extended range shells, with a range of more than 30 kilometers, and is extremely powerful. In addition to conventional shells similar to thermobaric shells, special shells with a variety of origin stone charges also show magic-like characteristics, and can even be used for short periods of time. Time to change the local battlefield climate."

Liusu clicked on an aerial video. After the shell exploded, it did not produce highly visible bright fireballs and mushroom clouds. Instead, it quickly froze the ground and covered it with a large amount of frost. However, it did not last long and soon began to melt.

"It may be that Ursus only fired one elemental shell because it found that the underground bunker was not enough lethal and costly."

"With the assistance of the semi-automatic loading system, even the front-loading guns can fire at a rate of 2 to 3 hours per round, but the firing frequency of the fortress is still kept at a low level. I guess Ursus is still concerned about cost and Maintenance issues, the life of this super-caliber fortress gun should be quite limited."

"Captain Tassel, thank you for your report, but I still want to know why we need to move the fortress against Ursus? Attacking the fortress will inevitably lead to an escalation of our conflict with the Ursus Empire. I think it is just There is no need to escalate the conflict with Ursus in order to rescue the drone and Haizi."

Carlos in the audience raised his hand to express his disapproval.Launching an attack on the mobile fortress of Ursus requires the cooperation of all departments of the entire ship, so decisions cannot be made solely by the rotating board of directors, and an enlarged meeting is necessary.

"Although the cause of the incident was the unauthorized actions of the drone and Haizi, the incident has already happened. The outside world will not think that it has nothing to do with Karak Heavy Industries just because the two acted without authorization, especially since the two are still shareholders of Karak Heavy Industries."

"No matter what they do, it will be regarded as the actions of Karak Heavy Industries, and it will only be regarded as a trick like abandoning the car to save the handsome man."

"If there is no loss on the Ursus side, it can be resolved, but the problem is that the entire Ursus Fifth Army and the mobile fortress of the theater command were dragged to the 420 Heights, and the losses were heavy."

"Instead of waiting for Ursus to react afterwards and start actively targeting us, it is better to act first and form an asymmetric strategic deterrence against Ursas."

"I think the operation is too difficult." Coffee said, "To deal with mobile fortresses, our ground troops in the Sami area are not strong enough, and there is no means of rapid delivery, so it is difficult to increase troops within a certain period of time. The expeditionary fleet There is no problem with self-defense, but the offensive ability is insufficient."

"If you rely on carrier-based aircraft for long-range strikes, even if you don't consider whether the close-in defense system equipped with the mobile fortress can intercept the 'Eclipse' missiles whose terminal penetration speed is too low, it is difficult for conventional weapons to cause serious damage to targets the size of a city. Not to mention strategic deterrence."

"So I think it is necessary for the Kapisi's water guidance department to launch a ballistic strike on it, which has achieved the final blow effect."

Folding her arms around her chest, Tassel replied.

"After nearly three months of hard work, the scientific research department and the water guidance department have worked together. The ballistic missiles carried by the Kapisi have formed a certain combat capability. I think it is time to use the killer."

"The defensive operations at the 420 Heights have proved that the conventional weapons we produce, combined with suitable terrain and tactics, can already enable ordinary infantry to form enough obstacles to the fleet, at least in the face of asymmetrical battles when conducting homeland defense."

"As long as we demonstrate the ability to attack with a range of thousands of kilometers and paralyze the mobile city with one blow, any external force that wants to take action against Karak Heavy Industries will think twice before doing so. Ursas Mobile, which is comparable in size to the core city of the mobile city The fort would be an ideal target."

"I understand the truth, but can it hit?" The radar grower was worried. Although the V2 missiles during World War II were able to fly hundreds of kilometers and hit British cities from the launch site in France, how many professional missiles are there in the world? It is debatable whether people can play with this top-level weapon.

This thing is completely different from the rpg that can be shot after unlocking the insurance. Even if it is Blue Star, there are only a handful of countries that can master ballistic missile technology. Ballistic missiles and rocket technology have always been integrated.

To put it bluntly, if you can master ballistic missiles, then launching satellites is not difficult, or in other words, if you can’t even hit satellites, you still want to play ballistic missiles?

The technical difficulty of ballistic missiles is only higher than that of launching satellites, especially in the control of rocket engines.

You still have the opportunity to adjust the orbit after the satellite is launched, while the ballistic missile completely relies on inertial flight at the moment the rocket engine is shut down, and the final hit accuracy depends entirely on the control level of the rocket engine.

Even if the ballistic missile carried by the Kapisi has a guidance module, the fault tolerance rate is much higher, but none of the people here are engaged in astronomy. Without Terra's complete star map, it means that the guidance module cannot be calibrated using star navigation trajectory.

It is a true portrayal of ballistic missiles to make a small mistake and make a thousand miles away.

"The problem is not too big." Hideyoshi, who seldom shows up on the Kapisi, also attended the meeting, "Karak's inertial navigation technology has been tested on a large scale, and the response from various departments is generally good, with accuracy and reliability. Both are high."

"Moreover, the aerospace team has been collecting Terra's environmental data for the past three months, including launching sounding rockets to collect data on the upper atmosphere, and modifying the parameters of the missile according to the operating manual. Theoretically, it can meet the accuracy requirements of actual combat."

"However, since the gravity environment and the thickness of the atmosphere of Kara Buster are different from those of Terra, the range and accuracy of the missile will be affected. Through the calculation of the digital simulation platform of the scientific research center on the ship, the range has dropped from the original 30 kilometers to 250 kilometers. The circular probability error went from [-] meters to [-] meters."

"Considering that the target is a mobile fortress with a projected area of ​​more than six square kilometers, the scientific research department believes that it has practical value."

"I agree with Chief Hideyoshi's opinion." Thames, head of the Missile and Water Armament Department, pressed the button to speak, "My department is responsible for the daily maintenance and operation of ballistic missiles, and they have been in good combat condition, except when they just arrived at the Red Coast Base because of The management is chaotic, except for a batch of warheads stolen by United Mining, they are ready to launch at any time."

"As for the power, everyone should know something about it. Everyone has experienced the mine blasting accident caused by the United Mining Industry. Although the power of the nitrogen explosive is not as exaggerated as the rumored nuclear bomb, it should not be underestimated."

"After all, it is a conventional warhead, so its power cannot be compared with a nuclear warhead with an explosive equivalent of [-] tons. In order to ensure its power, the ballistic missiles in our hands are only equipped with four sub-warheads, and each warhead has an explosive equivalent of [-] tons. A ton of TNT is equivalent."

"As long as a single sub-warhead hits the target, it has the ability to cause serious irreversible damage."

"Time is running out, the originally planned missile test launch has to be cancelled, the Nicholas the Great has been anchored at the current location for more than 30 hours, and should not move until the 420 Heights are cleared, but our actual contact with the 420 Heights has already Interrupted, there is no way to know how long the drone and Haizi can last."

"We need to launch missiles as soon as possible when the target is in a stationary state. Now please confirm on your personal terminal. Once authorized, the Kapisi will immediately launch an attack on the mobile fortress of the Ursus Empire and the Nicholas the Great." Long-range strategic strike."

After 2 minutes passed, all members of the time-traveling group who were eligible to participate in the meeting passed, and the countdown to the strategic attack on the Nikolai the Great began.

That night, the Kapisi sailed out of the anchorage at the Red Bank Base and arrived at the launch site.

Whether it was the deck or the island, the entire Kapisi was brightly lit, and everyone was nervously preparing for the launch of the missile, especially the members of the water guide department, who piled up near the silo to check the condition of the missile.

"30 minutes countdown to launch!"

The countdown reminder from the Combat Intelligence Center was sent to the water diversion department.

"Wait! Fuck! Where is this cable connected to!"

"I suppose it's the power cord for the laser igniter?"

"It's useless to think about it! Hurry up and check the manual!"

"This manual is half a meter thick!"

In the chaos, the water guide department checked the status of the silo and the missile according to the plan. Theoretically, the missile could be launched at any time, but no one dared to press the launch button without a system check.

"The countdown to launch is 10 minutes! All personnel evacuated! The deck is clear!"

With great difficulty, Thames took people through the pre-launch preparation process according to the checklist. Hearing the countdown continued to shorten, there were still beads of sweat on his forehead.The ballistic missiles carried by the Kapisi are thermally launched, and once a problem occurs, it will be a major accident.

"The countdown to launch is 5 minutes! The second and third stages are starting to refuel!"

The first stage of the missile uses solid fuel, and the second and third stages use conventional liquid fuel. Although it is different from Lanxin's rocket fuel, the difference between chemical rockets using working fluid engines is not that big.

Although Karak has refrigerant-free engine technology, the cost of using it on missiles is still too high. The source of RU materials is mainly various rare elements.Not to mention Karak, these rare elements produced by the Big Bang are rare resources in the entire universe.

If it weren't for the large number of starship wreckages on the Karak planet due to the influence of the hyperspace core, it would be impossible for the Higarans to use the resources of the Karak planet to build the space mothership "Big Banana".Unless the Hiigarans hollowed out the planet under their feet.

In Trisolaris, humans have dug up hundreds of Jupiters in order to form a space fleet. It’s not like talking about it. Rare elements and heavy elements, at least for a star system, are definitely not inexhaustible resources.

In addition, the performance of the non-propellant engine in the atmosphere is average. Compared with the propellant engine, in addition to the advantage in range, it is difficult to say that it is better than the traditional jet engine and rocket engine in terms of performance, especially the thrust-to-weight ratio. Anvil tactical bombers and forging hammer fighters are not ideal in terms of performance.

"Ten seconds countdown! The silo hatch is open!"

The siren of "D, D, D" resounded throughout the Kapisi, and the huge armored door on the silo bounced open to both sides within a second, exposing the huge projectile body under the starry sky of Terra.

"Five! Four! Three!"

The air defense siren sounded, and the lights inside the ship turned red, entering a combat state.

"Two! One! Launch!"

Amidst the stern siren, Tassel pressed his entire palm on the comprehensive command panel in front of the captain's seat. After the comparison of the palm prints was completed, the missile ignited.

The pulse-width laser beam emitted by the laser crystal instantly plasmatizes the igniter of the missile, and then impacts the solid fuel grain to complete the ignition.

Blazing white flames spewed out from the engine nozzle, mixed with the coolant used to cool down the silo, mixed with bright tail flames spewed out from the diversion slot on the side, and the surging power pushed the tens of tons of behemoth away from the silo , piercing the sky.

"Successful ignition! The missile leaves the ship! Entering the vertical acceleration phase!"

"Start gravity steering in 15 seconds!"

The tens of meters long tail flame is so conspicuous in the dark night, even tens of kilometers away can clearly see a shining light point flying from the ground, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

The loud sound of missile launch also spread out from the center of the Kapisi in the wasteland. People outside the Red Bank Base and even the small basin where Karak Heavy Industries was stationed heard the rolling Thor under the clear night sky.

And some caring people watched in shock as a twinkling star rose from the surface and merged into the starry sky.
