Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

Press the button, the silver watch cover pops open, and two elegant hands under the crystal surface point to the two diamonds at positions 6 and 5, respectively. Looking up at the blue sky, there is no cloud, and the early bird in the bushes is whispering gently.

This is the 9th of the month, and the good weather kicked off the day. It makes people feel that today will be the same as yesterday, and they will spend a lazy and ordinary day. But this is destined to be a day that will be remembered by history. For some people, this day will last forever, and for others, it will be stinky for years.

For Major Nona Georgsky, Commander of the 101st Test Heavy Armor Battalion, this whole day was full of boredom-boring tasks, boring equipment, boring scenery, boring enemies.

The telescope reflects the towering and majestic bastion, the cobweb-like trenches, the dense deer shrubs and tribulus terrestris, like the forest bayonet and guns-any military general will witness this situation. .

The above-mentioned facilities are just letting people go. It's just a matter of entering the fortress to appreciate the newly added guys. I am afraid that the generals will really scare their urine.

For example, the newly developed 10-pound Palote rifled gun.

Compared with the old smoothbore gun, the rifled gun has obvious advantages in accuracy and range, and it is more light and flexible under the premise of ensuring power. Moreover, unlike the smooth-bore guns, which can only obtain the elevation angle by cushioning the gun body in the past, the Pallott rifled gun is equipped with a stern adjustment bolt and an angle horizontal marker, which is more convenient to operate. In common parlance, if the smoothbore gun hits a barn at 1,000 yards, then at the same distance, the Pallott rifle can easily kick the barn door.

With such a clear performance advantage, the Pallott rifled gun mounted on the fortress and the fort was given the task of anti-artillery, and any colleagues who appeared in its range will be hit by a nightmare precision.

In addition, a large number of mortar guns are installed in the fortress, from a small bucket of 24 pounds (caliber 144㎜) to a large tank of caliber 330㎜. These mortars are a nightmare for the soldiers crouching in the trenches. Because of the slow flight speed, mortar gunners usually set the delay fuze very long. If the land in the landing area is not very soft, the shells often bounce up and roll around after landing. Field fortifications that would have been able to defend against direct fire from field artillery will also become unsafe at this time, and if a shell is rolled into a trench or shelter, it will often lead to a tragedy. Some courageous soldiers will look for unexploded ordnance that has fallen to the ground, and use a **** or the back of an engineer axe to drive it into a low-lying place that will not cause too much damage, thereby avoiding casualties. But not everyone can survive this crazy game called "gateball".

In the cognition and experience of officers of other camps, it is necessary to pay a heavy price to win such a fortress. At that time, the corpses of both the enemy and us will fill the trenches, and the blood will soak the earth. Such a fierce offensive and defensive warfare is unbearable for any army or even a country.

But in Nona's eyes, this is a target, a big coffin, a huge collective cemetery. In addition to proving the existence of some heavy toys that should not be produced, providing entertainment materials for the rough embryos obsessed with big pipes, and serving as a grave for the defending army. At most, it can be used to solve the employment problem. After the consortium closed a large number of businesses and evacuated overnight, all unemployed workers flooded the streets. They are angry, desperate, and hesitant, like gunpowder that walks bucket by bucket. Anytime, anywhere, it may trigger a big explosion that will destroy the country.

Letting those who have a family to feed to repair the land is one of the few responses by the authorities. Despite the intensity of work and the low salary, it is always better than the hungry family. In addition, it can be considered as a partial compensation for the shortage of labor force and engineering equipment in the construction of a series of national defense projects. As for the constant accidents in construction projects, the thousands of Charlie Man version of Meng Jiangneng caused by high-intensity labor leading to overwork and death, etc. The big guys above will not care.

Along the border line between Agen Torato, Lorraine and Charlemagne, the total length is 250 kilometers. As early as when the crown prince led his army to enter the crown of St. Eastbourne, he began to build a series of fortifications along the border. Too. At the beginning, it was just some defensive facilities set up around the transportation hub. It is called "to ensure road traffic and protect the safety of the people. Fighting smuggling crimes and eliminating bandits and robbers."

The slogan is very good, but the Defense Force is not a three-year-old child. The bunker turrets that stood on the railway road were piled up in the military material warehouse, used to poke the iron and barbed wire of the two tires, and a lot of guns and ammunition... How rampant gangsters in Charlemagne are already, already Can the size of the group army group be formed, and the mechanized troops make their way? Make excuses for snacks too?

After "The Night of the Long Swords", Charlemagne's brains also became enlightened. After all, it is a key engineering project that concerns the survival of the country. Taking the existence of the border defense line as a secret is really an impossible task. Requisitioning manpower, allocating equipment, budgeting funds... There is no link to hide the consortium. You must know the ears, and the war with Yalfheim is imminent. In order to clear the heads of the guys on the opposite side, in order to mobilize the country, the time to mobilize, simply brag this defense line. Somehow, maybe you can foolish the timid?

So, countless royals. The literati began to agitate his lips and splash ink. An indestructible line of defense, defending the safety of the Charlemagne Kingdom, named after the deputy army minister Andre de Mackino, was born overnight from the literati's mouth and pen.

With the government taking the lead, the following people will brag about it. What is "a few hundred meters deep underground" and "countless counties of Ming Dian An Bao" are already very conservative. Those who like to exaggerate directly open their mouths: there are huge military bases under the Mackinaw line, ports, shipyards and docks, naval warships and various floating warships enter and exit through underground rivers. A new large-scale floating aerial landing ship called "White Base" and a huge new metal Gorem code-named V are being built there. The entire line of defense cannot be observed from the air. In order not to let all kinds of publications and booklets focus on the front, literary and art workers from all walks of life are also working hard. The small talkbooks in the workshops were also centered on the Macino Line. A performance group of Rudes even staged the three-act opera "Two Criminals in the Magino Line."

The effect of the government, the military, and the media playing together is obvious. They succeeded in building a myth of "insurmountable defense" in the hearts of the people. The people, including some senior military officials, believed that the Macino defense could provide sufficient security, and it could make the sharp-eared war plan become a little bit. Meaningless.

The public and some high-level officials have placed too high and unrealistic expectations on the Mackinaw line of defense. So what exactly is this line of defense that carries many expectations? In this regard, the soldiers stationed on the Mackinaw line and Stasi have the most say.

Due to the huge labor force required for the construction of the Mackinaw Line and the low efficiency of personnel logistics, in order to meet the deadline, in addition to recruiting a large number of unemployed people in the country, many foreign workers also participated in the construction of the project. This kind of key national defense project has made it unreliable for outsiders to participate. What is even more outrageous is that there are also many laborers from Agen Tulatong and Loretta, which is really speechless. In addition to other links such as logistics, orders, engineering contracting... forget it, let Charlieman face a bit.

From the beginning, Alfheim knew the strengths and weaknesses of the Maginot line. This is not a "steel curtain wall" that stretches from the Breton border, through the mountains of Abbes, to the shore of the Great Green Sea. This is actually a line of defense.

To build a fortification group of this size exceeds Charlemagne’s national strength and is not allowed in time. With the numerous construction machinery in Alfheim, the science of planning, the high efficiency of personnel dispatch and distribution, and the thorough extraction of labor, it took more than ten years to build the Siegfried line, not to mention Charlemagne. The Charlemagne is not a magical work of nature. Duang can fill an island out of the sky and build a fortress to suppress it.

The so-called Macino defense is used to frighten ignorant women and children, and to sneer at unfamiliar opponents. Its true face is used to delay the pace of the mechanized assault cluster of the Defense Forces, and to guard the traffic routes to the hinterland of Alfheim. A series of fortifications that function as a military base. These fortifications, which lack depth and are only deployed along the roads and railways, do not look like they are used to play trench warfare, but serve as delayed fortifications and barracks.

Due to a series of previous expansions and civil strife, the Charlemagne army was scattered everywhere. After the Northern Expeditionary Force lost the coordinated side attack, the Charlemagne suddenly found themselves in a dilemma of multi-line combat. To the west is the quagmire of Castilla. After the trenches confronted the international column and the Castilla regular army, more than 100,000 troops also had to withdraw to deal with the guerrillas who attacked the traffic line behind them. It is good to ensure that the situation does not deteriorate, and they are not expected to be useful in the next battle. In the east, the crowns of Ostoria and St. Eastman are brewing rebellion, and the Habsburg family and its subjects have a large blood debt to settle with the sovereign state. Albian, an old friend across the sea, is accumulating strength, ready to put an end to the long-lasting love between Charlie and Man. Lapland, an ally in the north, patted his chest and said that he would never die from the steel ally. It is the obligatory duty of the Lapland pure men to insert a knife for the ally of the ally. It’s just that the bears haven’t dealt with it lately, and they are gathering troops on the border. They are obviously conspiracy. After waiting for the heroes of Qigong to send the ghosts to Xitian, they should fight side by side with their allies in the end... Not very reliable.

After breaking his fingers, Charlemagne's senior found sadly that they could compete with Yalfheim's gambling book, and that's why they stayed in the country. These troops also include the Titans and the Marine Corps, which are waiting to be reorganized, plus some "national divisions" and "static garrison divisions" in emergency expansion training, which is about 650,000. With such internal contradictions, the lack of equipment and training, and the fighting of the defense forces armed to the teeth, those who understand the military know what the end will be.

The only chance to win is to win quickly, smash Yalfheim with a beautiful annihilation battle, and then free up the hand to send the troops to other tight fronts, establish a favorable strategic posture, and then negotiate with the countries to ensure as much as possible. The results achieved have decisively ended the war-this is the consensus of the high-level army of King Charlemagne.

So under the interaction of excess self-confidence and extreme anxiety, the Army concocted a breathtaking war plan: using a bragging, actually far from completion, lack of depth of defense delay, and the consumption of elf camp assault The Corps assembled the main force and surrounded the enemy strategic corps to gain time. After destroying the enemies in the encirclement circle, they invaded Agen Trawton and Lorraine, smashing the rebellion in one fell swoop.

When this battle plan full of speculation, delusion and ignorance was put on the conference table of the General Staff of the Defense Force, a bunch of chins were shocked on the spot. The high ginseng had never thought that those who control the destiny of the country can reach this level. Looking at this ruined unknowingly and unknowingly, the plan made by a first-year student at the Alfheim Military Academy, although equally terrible, has at least basic common sense. Charlie Man's plan...God knows whether the group of people who made the plan received a salary from Stasi.

Now that the enemy has made such a coordinated plan, it would be too bad to follow up. So, in order to smash the indestructible and insurmountable Maginot line, the various types of heavy artillery of the Defense Force shone vigorously. Since the "Karl" self-propelled mortar and the "Big Bertha" siege howitzer descended, a total of 1,300 heavy artillery of all types were assembled on the front line of less than 4.5 kilometers. In addition, there is a pile of armored monsters in the 101st heavy armored battalion to assist in combat. There are also 20 strategic bombers in the air carrying 10 tons of super-navigation bombs-Grand Slam.x provides precision strikes. It can be expected that there will be a visual feast after the attack begins, and the carnival of explosion lovers, but Nona can't help it.

As a lao armor (si) soldier (ji), Nona hated this kind of brainless frontal. She was more keen to bypass fixed positions, assault like a storm, and divide the enemy army to surround and destroy. That kind of hearty victory was Nona's desire, rather than watching the artillery dumping tons of steel into the enemy's position silly until the entire surface of the ground was bare and eroded for dozens of miles and lined up like a military parade.

"Only rough embryos like big tubes."

Nona concluded.

The two pointers overlapped at the 6 position, and the commander of the auto-switch mode pressed the throat receiver.

"Each car group entered the position. Cars 100 and 101. Remember to lock the wheels before firing the gun, and then scrap the driving wheel. The people in the logistics department will eat you raw. Car 132? Where are you going? 135 Car! Albrecht! How many times have I said that I am not allowed to get on the car from the barrel!"

In the command of the devil chief, armored monsters roared and wriggled. In the jungle behind them, an artillery with a door removed from the gun lifted up the barrel. The observer was reporting the final correction parameters. The loader took a special wrench to One cannonball was loaded with fuzes.

The defense force, which has always been known for its clear division of labor and scientific rigor, has exerted its own characteristics to the extreme in the technical work of shooting artillery. According to the mission requirements, the artillery fire coverage group, the active force killing cluster, the key target attack cluster, and the anti-artillery cluster are divided, and the gun position, the large rangefinder position, and the integrated fire control center are allocated according to the artillery performance parameters. Scientifically divide according to the rate of fire and the trajectory to ensure that the shells can continue to fall on the head of Charlemagne.

At 7:15 am, the two k5(e) train guns of the 688th train battery company first shredded the silence. With the 255-kilogram grenade exploding on the ground, the 4 doors of the 457 and 458 heavy artillery companies (E.bertha)" howitzer, two "karl" super heavy self-propelled artillery guns of the 833th heavy artillery company, and one ticket and howitzer also joined the death chorus.

Especially worth mentioning here are the four howitzers. It has been produced for more than ten years, but it is already the "grandpa" in the defense force equipment sequence. Take a look at the "solid" all-steel steel rim tire with a diameter of 1.75 meters and a single weight of 1.76 tons. The additional steel plates spliced ​​into wheels are silently telling people: this thing is completely from the previous era. Too much is expected to play a role in mobile operations.

In fact, these giant cannons were originally fortified cannons placed in the Siegfried line of defense. They were only equipped with rough-shaped artillery wheels to facilitate the movement of the gun positions, which was convenient for hauling by heavy armed tractors. What? Is the tractor pulling the cannon too low? Hey, the friend who said this is afraid that he has never seen the ecstasy of the towing carrier aircraft on the aircraft carrier Vitra of a big country in the 21st century of Blue Star...

In any case, the "Big Bertha" can finally end the boring task of defending the bunker, and send a greeting from the Essen and Dusseldorf to the enemy with a group of artillery and artillery.

The blasting bomb used by Big Bertha weighs 820 kg, and the charge rate is as high as 85%. In order to form a good damage effect to the fortified area or the fortress area, its mechanical transmission credit has instantaneous (0.001 seconds) and inertia (0.005 seconds) and delay (0.01 seconds) three modes. When using the delay mode, the shells can penetrate deep into the ground before exploding, plus the extremely large shock wave generated during the explosion, and looking at the world, even the strongest fortresses and fortresses and their basic buildings can never It survived the bombing. At the same time, when dealing with civil field fortifications, special timed fuzes can also be assembled. Before the cannonball is fired, the gunner can adjust the length of the fuze action time as needed, so that the cannonball explodes at the most favorable position from the target or in a predetermined airspace. Due to the high firing angle, its shells can accurately fall into the trench or bunker, plus the great power, even if the missile is just lost, it will cause some damage to the trench or bunker.

The explosive power of the blasting bombs is quite scary because of the huge charge. Here is a comparison between the more conventional and howitzer. In the general test, with the grenade explosion point as the center, people within a radius of 15 meters will be alive and dead. This is not counting the damage caused by shrapnel shots. This range can reach 50 meters. The high-explosive grenade of the howitzer can explode 18 meters in diameter and reach the depths of two swimming pools. Experienced gunners can use 3 shells to beat a permanent cement fortification. The power of the blasting bombs used by "Big Bertha" can be imagined.

The 820-kilogram shell lasted 60 seconds, drawn a 122-meter high curve, and hit Charlemagne’s land. The huge fireball inflated and emptied in a flash. Dust, debris, smoke and dark red flames rushed straight into the sky, rising into the air for 300 meters, forming a huge cone. The fortress with a distance of 300 meters was trembling. The glass inside the fortress shattered, the tiles fell, and the ceiling had a terrible crack. Groups of poorly dressed and frightened Charlieman soldiers rushed out of the barracks, and the officers yelled and roared. The sentry in charge of the lookout looked around with the telescope, and soon he was startled by a pile of thick pipes sprayed with flames, and was hit by a grenade in the hysterical shouts.

"Fight back! Hurry back!"

A colonel shouted with a slash of his sword, and before he could give further instructions, a shock wave grabbed the army colonel and threw it into the air.

"What about our artillery? Artillery! Hurry back the shells!"

A lieutenant colonel took over the position and came out of the hiding soldiers, drove them towards the fort with a saber and boots.

Soon, they were engulfed by shells falling like hail.

"1,2,3,4...I counted 1,000 explosions! They fired 1,000 shells in a minute!"

An officer screamed hysterically, his hands trembling at an abnormal frequency.

Under such terrible firepower, it is impossible for human beings to count the number of shell explosions. "1000 rounds" has no meaning except to prove that this person has a mental breakdown.

In fact, this insane officer is very close to the truth. According to the statistics after the war, in the first hour, the entire artillery group fired a full 100,000 shells. On average, each Charlemagne soldier can be allocated to 10 shells. The fortress clusters that are under the rain of artillery shells are indeed the most terrifying and **** in the world. The design strength of Charlemagne's fortresses is based on the defense of the front-mounted smoothbore cannon, and it can withstand a bombardment of goods such as the "Urban Cannon". In front of a large-caliber grenade with a nearly vertical angle, it is as fragile as the playing card tower built by playing cards, and it is easy to touch. It simply cannot provide effective protection.

A large number of soldiers were blown to pieces~www.readwn.com~ Soldiers hiding in the ground and trenches were no more fortunate than the dead robe. After the air curtain of the air-detonated grenades had washed the trenches, blood gathered at the bottom to form a stream. The soldiers under the ground felt a terror that was higher than a while in the violent vibrations that were shaken off the ground again and again, until a shell hit the ceiling and smashed some unlucky egg, using a violent explosion to turn everyone into powder , And even let some people suffocate in the soil and die.

The biggest explosion was an underground ammunition depot with 13 tons of ammunition. Through the artillery mirror, the 457th heavy company company commander Major Wesner witnessed the final scene of the fortress-every gap of the fortress was violently ejected at the same time. Flames, human bodies, equipment, and debris were thrown into the air like chaff, and spilled to the ground.

In this fiery flesh-and-blood grindstone, occasionally there are turrets that are mad or unwilling to succumb to their opponents who are unable to reach even invisible opponents in vain. Standing in the roar and firelight that seems to be engulfed by the world, a few painless and itchy counterattacks can hardly be noticed. Soon, under the care of the anti-artillery cluster from 88 guns to k3 240mm cannons, those few The shadows and shadows disappeared...

Eventually, the shelling, which lasted for three hours, was lifted by the dive bombing of a team of attack aircraft. The Mackinaw line, praised as "never fall", was torn apart by a 15-kilometer wide gap, overlooking the sky and camouflage. Combat uniforms flooded in like floods. (To be continued.)
