American Celestial Master

Chapter 248, bombing

In theory, because of the contamination of depleted uranium, it is best to prioritize the use of other types of ammunition in domestic operations. The United States also theoretically has non-depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles, such as the KEW-A1 armor-piercing projectile using a tungsten alloy armor-piercing body. But this stuff is specifically for export, and in the United States, tungsten is much more valuable than the depleted uranium that is used as reactor scraps. Especially given the current difficulties in shipping, tungsten, which has a wide range of industrial uses, is much more expensive than depleted uranium, which has almost no uses other than making armor-piercing bullets, armor and three-phase bullet casings.

Of course, there are cheaper options, such as simply using steel as armor-piercing projectiles. For example, today's various anti-aircraft guns in the US military have a lot of steel armor-piercing bullets because their main imaginary combat enemies are things like the Jersey Devil, but they are also coated with a layer of silver.

But the main imaginary enemies of US tanks have always been other tanks. Especially in today's situation, their first imaginary enemies have become other American tanks, and this is especially true for National Guard tanks. Obviously, steel armor-piercing bullets are not useful against such imaginary enemies, so the National Guard will never spend money to equip their tanks with such things.

So even if depleted uranium bombs are contaminated, what does pollution mean in the United States? Compared with the pollution caused by overturned trains, what is this pollution?
The fire control of the M1A2 tank is really excellent. In the static-to-moving shooting at a distance of more than meters, more than % of the hits were achieved in the first round. Although the rock puppet is strong, no matter how solid the granite is, it is still as fragile as an egg shell in the face of depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles. Those rock puppets hit by depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles will often be completely shattered into a pile of rubble.

"Well done! Well done!" O'Dell shouted directly in the communication channel. The black uncles in the tank were encouraged by this result, and their morale exploded. They loaded another armor-piercing projectile at an alarming speed.

In terms of explosive reloading speed, the Uncle Black autoloader is going to overwhelm those gorgeous autoloaders on tanks from other countries. So in just a few minutes, the tanks of the New York State National Guard smashed the first batch of rock puppets into pieces.

However, before the National Guard's black uncle's automatic loader had time to rest, the black fog surged over there, and another wave of monsters rushed out. And this time it was the gargoyle-like Jersey Devil and those rock puppets that rushed out together.

"The anti-aircraft artillery unit prepares for air defense. After the artillery and other ground targets enter Zone D, they fire a salvo of special artillery shells, and then fire ordinary high-explosive shells at a rate of one round per minute. The tank troops open fire after the target enters Zone C. . Pay attention to controlling the rate of fire and conserving your strength." O'Dell ordered again.

The burst rate of fire of the Uncle Black autoloader is indeed higher than that of autoloaders from other countries, but the sustained rate of fire of the Uncle Black autoloader is obviously not as good as the autoloaders of other countries. Once you fight for a long time, maintaining your physical strength becomes very important.

The monsters in the black fog have improved their attack methods, and it seems that they have the cooperation of open space. But their so-called cooperation is actually not much different from no cooperation. Because the speed difference between the two sides is too big, the Rock Golem has just entered the F area, and the Jersey Devil has already reached the D area.

Then there was a replay of the air defense scene just now, first the manually controlled 40mm Bofors, then the Oerlikon Double 35, and then various automatic and manual 20mm Gatlings. The final result was no different from before, except that it was beaten to pieces.

And this wave of Jersey Devils have been smashed all over the ground, and the rock puppets slowly entered the D area, and then the story of the previous round repeated itself, but compared to the last time, the rock puppets moved forward. Further away, a small number of rock puppets had reached Area B before coming down, and entered the range of the large-caliber machine gun. The reason why these rock puppets were able to advance further than last time was not because their cooperation was more successful, but simply because the Uncle Black automatic loader had started to operate at a limited speed.

At this time, the third wave of monsters began to appear again.

"Why don't they just load all these things up at once and send the stones in batches like this?" Tommy said.

Although the battle was still fierce, after defeating the two attacks of the monsters, the atmosphere in the frontline headquarters had become relatively soothing, and Odell's voice was much quieter when issuing orders. At this time, when he heard Tommy's words, he smiled again: "So these monsters are not real soldiers and do not understand tactics. If I were to command them - but as for sending stones, maybe they also have a reason. For example, how many drones can our control channel control at one time? I think they may also have this problem..." "Brigadier commander, we found underground vibrations below position 22 in area E, moving towards position 21." The staff officer suddenly reported.

"An underground attack?" O'Dell said. "Their cooperation is really poor. If they can use the vibration caused by our artillery fire as a cover, the effect of such an attack will be much better. If I command this... half an hour Where can they go?"

"It may be possible to reach the vicinity of Area D." the staff member replied.

"Don't be slow. Contact air strikes immediately and have the combat aircraft take off immediately with special bombs." O'Dell said.

At an airport only thirty kilometers away, four F-15Es were parked at one end of the runway and were on standby. The pilot was already sitting in the cockpit, and the underside of the wing of one of the planes was already full of special bombs. At this time, ground crews were busy loading new detonation data into these bombs to ensure that the bombs exploded in the soil at the appropriate depth. The other three planes were also loaded with ordinary JEDAM bombs under their wings.

Soon, the preparations were completed. The pilot made a request for takeoff to the airport and received approval from the airport tower. The four F-15Es, loaded with bombs, turned on afterburners and began to accelerate on the runway. Soon they took off and flew into the night sky. middle.

The airport is very close to the combat area, so these planes arrived over the battlefield almost as soon as they took off. The planes made several circles over the battlefield and made contact with the ground. The ground troops began to use lasers to illuminate their targets.

In fact, the F-15E can also determine the target by itself, but in order to avoid accidental damage, after all, each of these four F-15Es is carrying six or seven tons of bombs solidly. If it is dropped on one of its own people, ——Don’t tell me, this is really the expertise of American air power. The highest-ranking American officer who died in World War II was killed by his own bombers.

After repeatedly identifying the target, the F-15E, which had already circled in the air several times, dropped a special bomb on the target. The so-called special bomb is a two-thousand-pound ground-penetrating bomb with a barrier-destroying function and a self-contained internal system that can ensure the normal explosion of the bomb.

The power of the two thousand pound bombs is by no means comparable to that of the 155-gun shells. These bombs fell on the ground and did not explode immediately. Instead, they penetrated into the soil, and then the whole earth shook, with several blazing white balls. A fireball burst out from the ground. After a while, a thunderous explosion reached everyone's ears.

Then there was the sound of earth and stones falling back to the ground from the air. Not only the things underground, but also the rock puppets on the ground were directly torn to pieces by the explosion - two thousand pounds. The power of the bomb is absolutely trustworthy.

After this round of bombing, until dawn, no monsters came out of the black mist.
