The Red Alert Begins in the Wasteland

"My infantry battalion was intensively attacked by hundreds of artillery from the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard, and suffered heavy losses. We request support..."

Infantry battalion requests for help kept sending out, and Major Sam, his hair turned white.

The shells that just fell covered the entire Tarawa Heights. Hundreds of American soldiers in the infantry battalion had lost more than half of them before seeing the enemy, and most of them were still wounded.

The Iranian soldiers of the two regiments on the side also suffered huge losses. When the battle started, they had not seen the enemy yet, and their combat effectiveness was lost in half. How has the US Army suffered such a big loss.

The most difficult thing for Major Sam to accept was that so many intelligence agencies did not even know that the Iraqi-Syrian Federation dispatched hundreds of artillery pieces, and they let the other side’s artillery fire their own positions calmly, in exchange for who was staying here. It is also difficult to preserve more than half of the combat power in the Tarawa Highlands.

The most terrifying thing about the artillery fire just now is that the shells fell at the same time, which is the cause of such huge casualties, and there is no need to fire at all. The direct attack is the full fire coverage of the spreading surface.

Not to mention just a battalion, even if an armored brigade is placed on Tarawa Heights, it cannot withstand such an attack.

The lethality of a modern large-caliber howitzer can also exert the same attack effect as a rocket launcher. Compared with the secondary strike efficiency and effective lethality of a rocket launcher, the artillery is actually more terrifying.

From the point of view of Major Sam, the firepower at that moment covered at least one hundred and fifty artillery guns used by the Iraqi-Syrian Federation.

The Syrian-Israel Federation has been a country that likes to use artillery since it was in Iraq. After all, the killing effect and cost of artillery are the cheapest compared to missiles and rocket artillery in modern warfare.

The use of artillery by the Iraqi-Syrian Federal Guard accompanies almost every war. Although Major Sam has made arrangements for this, all the soldiers’ defenses are dispersed, forming a cross formation, digging foxholes, and The front of the defense is expanded, and the firepower is properly matched and used, and the opponent's artillery and firepower are covered, and it will not cause too much damage to itself.

And now, Major Sam clearly realized that he still underestimated his opponents. The strength of the Iraq-Syria Federation is not accidental, nor is it just a silver-like spear tip, and it will not be in front of the powerful U.S. military, as the media advertised. cowardice.

On the contrary, from the beginning of the war to the present, the U.S. military has been suffering, the navy has suffered, and the air force has also suffered. The army has also suffered a small loss when the ground war began.

Major Sam did not care about other things, and directly sent a message for help to his brigade headquarters. The 112th Infantry Battalion had already lost more than half. Without support, it would be impossible to withstand the twelve-hour attack by the Syrian Federal Guard.

Maybe a few more firepower coverages, everything will be over.

After receiving the report from Major Sam, the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Eighth Army of the US Army immediately dispatched the 113 Armored Battalion to support it.

In the bombardment just now, even the 112 Mechanized Infantry Brigade Command, a few kilometers away, clearly felt its power. Hundreds of shells exploded on the ground at the same time, and no one could bear it.

The 113th Armored Battalion, which is quickly supported, is the main combat force of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade. It has 18 Abrams main battle tanks and 24 armored vehicles. The firepower configuration is very powerful.

When the 113th Armored Battalion began to set off, a self-propelled artillery battalion of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Brigade was also preparing to counterattack.

During the shelling just now, the trajectory of the projectile captured by radar, the self-propelled howitzer battalion had almost locked the approximate location of the calmer.

Only a distance of more than 80 kilometers, there is no rare self-propelled howitzer that can survive the US military. Although the conventional artillery shell has a range of only more than 50 kilometers, the use of rocket extended-range projectiles, let alone more than 80 kilometers, even 100 kilometers. There is no problem at all.

Moreover, the target of the attack is the artillery position of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation. It is not to accurately destroy any defensive bunker or a slow moving target, but a large frontal position. Therefore, the use of rocket extended-range projectiles does not worry about not being able to hit the target .

At this moment, the highly effective response capabilities of the US military's combat forces are also fully demonstrated.

Even if it is in a disadvantaged and passive position, the US military's counterattack is as sharp as ever.

Eighteen self-propelled artillery swiftly deployed on the established positions, and the raised barrels aimed at the so-called Iraq-Syrian Federation artillery cluster more than 80 kilometers away.

As soon as the preparation was over, the shelling began.

In order to be able to cause effective damage to the artillery clusters of the Iraq-Syria Federation, the US military did not conduct any calibration and fired. It fully believed the results of its ballistic calculation system and launched intensive rapid fire at targets more than 80 kilometers away.

To say that the United States is also a country of traditional artillery, it has also developed the best work of the battleship period. Although the self-propelled artillery of the US military is not very important, it has all the necessary performance and technical data.

Moreover, the lethality of the US Army's 155mm howitzer is not inferior to that of the Red Police Corps' artillery of the same caliber. It also maximizes the explosive power of explosives.

The Artillery Position of the Calder, the plows on the four mechanical arms of the Calders quickly pulled out from deep underground, and the tires on the sides of the stents were put down to support the heavy body of the Calders. The power system turned on the turbocharger. , Four pairs of huge load-bearing wheels, carrying the calmer to move away.

Hundreds of meters away, there was the roar of artillery shells in the sky, one after another, the artillery fire fell on the periphery of the Calaver artillery position, and a few fell on the position of the previous two Calenders.

And the other five Calders ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ did not even move their positions, and no shells landed on their positions.

When the smoke filled the position of the Quiller, the five Quillers who did not move also roared again. This time the barrel was raised slightly, and two shells were fired in succession, following the US Howitzer shells. Ballistic, flying towards the US self-propelled artillery position.

In modern warfare, the contest between self-propelled artillery is a very common battle on the ground.

On the U.S. self-propelled artillery positions, the alarm just sounded inside each self-propelled artillery, and the shells that struck the night sky had fallen into the U.S. self-propelled artillery positions.

Eighteen self-propelled artillery pieces were instantly annihilated in the explosion, and the calmer showed his sharp counterattack.

It was just one round of attack. Eighteen self-propelled artillery pieces were destroyed, eight of which fell directly, and four lost their combat capability.
