Chapter 176: The Defeated Cai Ruichen

The sound of rumbling guns covered the entire base. Seventy kilometers away, the barrels of four 175mm self-propelled cannons with a diameter ratio of almost 75 times were located in a canyon to the west of the base. Canyon line of the sky.

The rate of fire of three rounds per minute is only because all the loading and launching work needs to be done manually.

But just like this, the 12-point artillery shells per minute beat the artillerymen of Cai Ruichen and the Red Police Corps to the point where they were powerless to fight back.

The 155mm howitzer has a range of only 20 to 30 kilometers, which is only half of the range of the enemy's artillery.

Although the opponent's artillery did not have any accuracy at all, it was still able to stay in some key places in the base when the artillery fell into the explosion range.

As soon as the previous enemy artillery drone came over, although it was destroyed by the warhawk immediately, it still sent back a lot of data.

The barracks in the valley, as well as the ore refinery and the power plant, were all covered by the opponent's first round of artillery.

The long-range rocket launcher for an emergency counterattack, but it has nothing to do with the four 175mm heavy artillery of the enemy hiding in the canyon.

The artillery fire of the rocket launcher directly covered the entire canyon, but on the exposed line of sky, the rocket launcher could not attack at all due to its non-vertical flying posture.

Unless it is the use of air force, or surface-to-surface missiles, or the use of precise long-range artillery to fight back.

Otherwise there is no way.

Even though a large number of rocket launchers were poured down, these four artillery pieces still stood upright in the canyon, and still bombarded the base with a total of twelve rounds per minute.

This is a bit like the mode in which Iran shelled the Iraqi army with the Gushan cannon imported from North Korea during the Iran-Iraq War.

And the Iraqi army has nothing to do with these artillery with a range of 50 to 60 kilometers.

Now, the same is true for Cai Ruichen, with four 175mm cannons. It made his head smoke.

However, the matter was not far from over, the power plant was destroyed one after another by four artillery pieces, and a cruel question was placed in front of him. That is the enemy ground forces attack.

Behind Mozabi County, two tank battalion-sized Type 99 main battle tanks were bombarding the wall with their 125mm high-pressure guns.

The advancing tracks crushed rows of weeds, nearly one meter high, covering nearly half of the vehicle's height. The grass-green camouflage makes these Type 99 main battle tanks difficult to distinguish with the naked eye if they do not rely on binoculars when they are approaching from a distance.

But at this moment, the power load of the base exceeds the standard, and all the defense weapons of the base are unusable.

Nearly sixty main battle tanks can be regarded as an extremely powerful combat force, staying two kilometers away from the wall, and firing a burst of fierce shelling at the wall.

Even the 20-meter-thick wall began to collapse under the powerful main gun of the tank.

fence. Cai Ruichen arranged defensive forces, and only a few anti-tank missiles were barely fired, but they only caused damage to a few tanks.

The four large-caliber artillery immediately turned their muzzles and aimed at the artillery positions of the rocket launchers.

When the soldiers were afraid that it would not be easy to reload these rocket launchers, the shells of the four artillery fell.

A 175mm artillery shell with a killing radius of more than 150 meters is no less than an ordinary missile.

In the end, less than one-third of the loaded rocket artillery units fired rockets at the enemy tank troops outside the wall.

It's just that the cluster anti-armor warhead launched by the 333mm rocket launcher is the real threat to these main battle tanks.

These warheads all exploded like cluster bombs at a distance of 400 meters above the tank troops.

The eight armor-piercing high-explosive bombs separated from the warhead all supported a small landing row, and the active infrared guidance of the bombs was also activated as the parachute unfolded.

According to the set procedure. The bomb, controlled by a computer chip, preferentially targeted the nearest main battle tank.

And the anti-aircraft armored units following the tank quickly poured firepower towards these small white umbrellas in the sky.

This kind of special anti-armor bomb can be called a special anti-armor bomb that an artillery division can kill an armored division with a single salvo. It is indeed a great threat to tanks.

Moreover, this kind of bomb can also be carried by missiles or air platforms, not necessarily artillery.

It's just that two-thirds of the launch vehicles were destroyed by the opponent's artillery before, and only 333mm rocket missiles are capable of carrying such anti-tank bombs for the remaining launch vehicles.

Therefore, the number is not very large. Under the attack of the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, less than one-fifth of the bombs survived to fall on the tank.

A powerful bomb. It fell from the top of the head to the top of the tank. Originally, the armor on the top of the tank was the weakest except for the belly, and the bombs were all filled with high-explosive armor-piercing ammunition.

After being hit by more than two such bombs, the main battle tanks also lay down directly.

It was just a last-ditch effort and could not change the outcome. When the remaining forty main battle tanks reached the edge of the wall, the armored vehicles following behind also transported a large number of infantry up.

The next battle was a battle of life and death, and Cai Ruichen put almost all of his two thousand soldiers into it.

Using the defense of the second wall to try to resist the attack of the opponent's tank troops, but they have already lost their defensive weapons. Relying on only two thousand troops, it is impossible to resist the enemy with two or three thousand troops.

After two hours in the virtual reality world, Cai Ruichen stepped off the simulation platform and shook his head helplessly.

This is a confrontation in the simulated world, and the goal of the combat simulation is a war that may break out with the Mocha safe zone at any time.

As the side of the base, Cai Ruichen is naturally the commander, and the base, as the one in the simulated world, plays the offensive force of the side of the Mocha safe zone.

As a result, the base defended by Cai Ruichen was completely defeated, the entire army of 2,000 elite conscripts was annihilated, and the base was completely destroyed.

And the Mocha safe zone didn't even have half of the losses, and those so-called armed trucks were not at all the opponents of the tank troops when large-scale troops were deployed.

The truck has a huge target, and a tank gun can directly destroy any armed truck.

However, Cai Ruichen was a little unconvinced, because his opponent was the base.

"Base, you are playing a rogue, and you actually placed the artillery under the sky, so that I can only be beaten passively."

This is what makes Cai Ruichen most depressed. Otherwise, if the power plant hadn't been destroyed, the battle would definitely not have ended like this.

"This is not a rogue at the base, but every capable officer will do this. It is an excellent artillery position. The commander was too confident and ignored the four 175mm artillery in the Mocha safe zone from the beginning." (To be continued.)
