Chapter 1092: Chapter 1,095, artillery surprise attack
Translator: 549690339
Artillery preparation began.
Commander Ma Ke didn’t have the patience to wait any longer. He had waited all night for this moment.
He asked for instructions for the remaining days, then immediately returned to the command position.
There were actually many ways for artillery soldiers to prepare to fire. For example, the simple method, the precise method, the result method, the bomb test method… The uses of these methods varied.
In movies, it was often seen that a test firing was carried out. This was usually the fork method and the deviation method. This was used when the distance deviation between the explosion point and the target could not be determined.
It was more complicated to say. In fact, there was a shooting commander in front to observe and then make a correction of the firing elements according to the landing point of the shell.
This was to hit the target more accurately.
For this degree of accuracy, there would even be a second test shot, a second correction.
However, for a shooting distance of more than ten kilometers, from the time the cannonball was fired to the time the cannonball fell, there would be about a minute’s time.
After making the observation and correction, there would be a certain amount of time delay.
Such a long preparation time was enough for the enemy to jump onto the vehicles and escape for their lives.
If they encountered armored troops, they might even be able to charge right under the nose of the artillery formation.
Hence, this method was only suitable for fixed enemy positions. The enemy would just hide in the position to defend.
In addition, modern warfare also had various artillery radars that could easily determine the position of the enemy artillery based on the direction of the shells.
If they were slow in firing, the enemy’s artillery fire would immediately cover them and blow up their artillery positions into a waste collection station.
This time was usually about five minutes. In other words, from the start of the first shot, there was only five minutes before the artillery had to change positions.
In a country without artillery, commander ma ke did not have to worry about the enemy’s artillery counterattack.
However, he didn’t plan to test fire.
Because the test fire took too long, it was enough for the oasis army to run away with their tanks.
Therefore, commander ma ke used the simplest method.
He had already calculated the data. He wanted to fire directly, and the entire army would fire together.
As for whether it was accurate or not, he would say it as he fired.
Anyway, he wanted to fire at the enemy’s camp. It didn’t matter if there was a slight error. They could correct it as they fired.
Besides, with the help of all kinds of modern calculation and positioning technology, it wasn’t as difficult to prepare to fire at Zhu Yuan anymore.
Yu Tian’s target was the enemy’s armored troops. As for the infantry in the camp… those pieces of trash weren’t important.
The observers had already calculated the position of the Oasis Army’s armored troops and were waiting for the sudden attack from the artillery.
The main purpose of this type of attack without test firing was to not give the enemy any time to react.
From the start of the first round, it was a high-density rapid attack that dealt the most damage to the enemy in the shortest amount of time.
“Everyone pay attention! ”
“One standard, shoot at top speed!”
“Target number one… Fire! ”
There was no other way. The cannon conditions of Kannima were not perfect, so they could only use this backward command method.
Fortunately, this place was relatively quiet, and there were no enemies around, so it was more suitable for shouting.
Under the command of the commander of the Death God, nearly a hundred howitzers on the battlefield began to roar.
The process was very rushed, and there was no sense of ceremony.
However, it looked very shocking. After all, nearly a hundred howitzers fired at the same time. This kind of scene was rarely seen in world wars.
The artillery soldiers themselves felt their blood boiling, as if they were on steroids.
Everyone’s ears were buzzing, but they did not need to listen to any further orders. They had to finish firing a standard shell first.
Commander Ma Ke had already put on his earplugs and listened carefully to the information sent by the observers in front.
The observers were also the firing commanders of the artillery. After observing the situation where the shells fell, they would immediately report the firing results to the artillery positions.
Commander Ma ke would adjust the firing parameters of the cannon according to the firing results.
Yu Tian watched the rapid firing from the artillery position and could not hold himself back.
He wanted to go to the front line to take a look and see how the enemy’s camp had been blown up.
Hence, he immediately jumped onto the military vehicle and left the position with his bodyguards.
Commander Death God originally wanted to stop him, but when he thought of the powerful force Yu Tian had displayed, he felt that he did not have to worry about Yu Tian’s safety.
His task was to protect the artillery position, not to meddle in Yu Tian’s business.
Yu Tian drove the military vehicle at full speed.
The artillery position was less than 20 kilometers away from the Oasis Army’s camp, and it would be slightly farther if he took a detour.
However, he did not really need to run to the Oasis Army’s camp. He only needed to be a few kilometers away from the camp to see the battlefield.
The Oasis army was stationed at the edge of the mountain where the mine was located. Yu Tian only needed to find a higher mountain in the distance to use his night vision binoculars to see the situation in their camp.
The military vehicle sped all the way to the eastern side of the oasis army in less than ten minutes.
Although it was a little bumpy, Yu Tian was still full of energy.
When he reached the foot of a mountain, he immediately jumped off the vehicle and ran to the top of the mountain.
This was not the highest mountain, but the height was enough for him to observe.
Under the binoculars, the Oasis Army’s camp was in chaos.
It was unknown how many rounds of rapid artillery had been fired, but the oasis army’s armored troops had been blown to pieces.
Perhaps it was because the artillery was too dense, but more than half of the Oasis Army’s tanks did not escape the artillery coverage of the camp.
Many of the tanks remained in the camp and continued to be bombarded.
Although the tanks did not look like they had been destroyed, they remained motionless.
It was unknown whether the drivers had been killed by the indiscriminate artillery fire or some of the functions of the tanks had been damaged.
Needless to say, most of the armored vehicles and military vehicles had been destroyed, and the rest were basically incomplete.
There were also some who ran out of the camp and avoided the range of the artillery bombardment, but could only huddle together in the distance of the camp, not knowing where to go.
Facing the artillery, they seemed to have no countermeasures.
They didn’t even know what to do next, not knowing if it was because their commander had been killed in the explosion.
The army camp where the infantrymen were was dumbfounded.
They were basically not affected by the artillery fire, but they were still in a mess.
Countless soldiers ran out of the army camp and entered the defensive positions.
Their defensive positions were very simple and crude, much simpler than those outside the city of Kannima.
This kind of position could not defend against howitzers. At most, it could only give them some psychological comfort.
Yu Tian brought three base number shells this time, each howitzer has nearly 200 rounds of ammunition on average.
This is a very frightening number..
