Chapter 507: Taking Area 317
Flames shot up into the sky. The giant air defense tower, which was more than 80 meters wide and high, was engulfed by the fire under the attack of ten Red Arrow Type intercontinental missiles. After the fire dissipated, all that remained was a ruin.
The Hongjian-9 intercontinental missile is different from the first-generation Hongjian-9 long-range missile. After secondary improvements, its speed, anti-interception system, intelligence, accuracy and power have been greatly improved.
In terms of power alone, the power of a double-core warhead is as high as 3000TNT. What does 3000TNT mean? It means that within a radius of meters, the explosion shock wave will devastate all reinforced concrete buildings.
If humans and animals are within this distance, their internal organs will be shattered and there is no possibility of survival.
In addition to the shock wave of the explosion, there is high temperature and thermal radiation. The high temperature generated at the moment of the explosion can reach thousands of degrees Celsius, which can instantly ignite surrounding objects. Near the center of the explosion, metals will be melted, not to mention people.
The same is true for thermal radiation. According to tests, if the human body is exposed to thermal radiation within 300 meters of the explosion center, large blisters and ulcers will appear on the skin, and even respiratory burns and other life-threatening injuries will occur.
Therefore, the cost of a Hongjian-9 intercontinental missile is very high, but it is also very powerful relative to its power.
A single dual-core warhead can cause such powerful destructive power, but the Hongjian-9 intercontinental missile is equipped with twelve such dual-core warheads.
Therefore, even if the air defense towers of the Alliance Army were very strong, they would still be destroyed on the spot by this powerful double-core warhead.
Besides, even if the power of the double-core warhead is not enough to destroy the air defense tower that is more than 205 meters high and wide, softening powder has been added inside. Not to mention the double-core warhead, even a mm howitzer may be able to easily destroy this tall air defense tower.
30 Red Arrow intercontinental missiles dealt a heavy blow to the coalition army and Macaulay Stan. All five air defense towers were destroyed, and the four secondary towers were destroyed again just after they were repaired.
At the same time as the missile unit launched the attack, Li Yunlong mobilized the entire army's artillery unit, including rocket launchers, heavy howitzers, etc., to attack the firepower points within the monitored 317 area.
Under the shadow of war, Area 317 is like an isolated island shrouded in darkness. The alliance army is quickly deploying its defenses to block the Qin army's attack.
1130 firing points are densely distributed on this position, forming a seemingly impenetrable defense network.
The steel behemoths of the tank corps were lurking in various places, their gun muzzles pointed sinisterly into the distance; the giant artillery pieces of the heavy artillery corps were hidden behind solid bunkers, ready to unleash their deadly roars at any time;
The rocket artillery unit's launchers stood tall and numerous, with rockets ready to go; the bunkers and turrets looked like ferocious monsters, their concrete bodies covered with shooting holes, with the cold light of machine guns and artillery shining through them, as if swearing their stubbornness to the Qin army.
"Set the shooting parameters."
After Li Yunlong's order was issued, the artillery troops took quick action. The 48 Suzaku-13-type rocket launchers of the rocket artillery brigade were neatly arranged, ready to go.
The Suzaku Type 13 rocket launcher is a powerful weapon that integrates advanced technology. It has a very high rate of fire and strong firepower coverage. Each rocket launcher is equipped with 16 launchers, which can fire 768 rockets in one salvo. These rockets are like locusts passing through, and can turn the target area into a sea of fire in an instant.
The heavy artillery brigade's 36 205mm heavy howitzers stand on the battlefield like steel giants. Their barrels are slender and thick, and each weighs dozens of tons. The 205mm shells are extremely powerful, with one shell weighing more than 100 kilograms. The energy generated by the explosion is enough to destroy a small building. This heavy howitzer has an extremely long range and can accurately strike deep enemy targets, making it a "big killer" on the battlefield.
At the same time, 36 155mm howitzers were also on standby. The 155mm howitzer is a highly versatile artillery that has both good mobility and good firepower. The shells it fires can create huge craters on enemy positions, causing serious casualties and damage to personnel and equipment.
The most shocking thing was the 205 mm howitzers that the entire army had assembled. These guns were neatly arranged together to form a steel wall. Their large number and majestic momentum were daunting. When they fired at the same time, the power they produced would be devastating.
"fire!"
The attack order was issued by the command center.
The first to launch the attack were the Suzaku 13 rocket launchers of the Rocket Artillery Brigade. At the commander's command, 48 rocket launchers roared at the same time.
"Shhhhhh!"
The rockets on the launcher shot out like arrows from a bow, and in an instant, the sky was illuminated by countless flames. The rockets dragged long tails of flames, made sharp whistles, and rushed towards the 317 area of the alliance army.
Just seconds later, the rocket reached the target area.
"Boom!"
With deafening explosions, the 317 area was instantly engulfed in flames. The huge energy generated by the rocket explosions blew huge craters on the ground, and mud and rocks were thrown dozens of meters into the air.
The tanks of the Alliance Army bore the brunt of the attack. Many tanks were directly hit by rockets, their turrets were blown off, and the hulls were engulfed in flames. The soldiers in the tanks were engulfed by the blast and high temperature before they could react.
The 205mm heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery brigade were not to be outdone. The gunners quickly and skillfully operated the artillery, loading shells weighing more than 100 kilograms into the gun barrels.
"fire!"
At the command, 36 heavy howitzers opened fire at the same time. The huge recoil caused the gun barrels to rise slightly, and the flames from the muzzles were more than ten meters long. The shells flew towards the 317 area at a very high speed and hit the target heavily.
"boom!"
When the 205mm shells hit the target, their power was fully demonstrated. At the heavy artillery position of the Alliance Army, shells landed accurately on the artillery bunkers. The huge explosion force instantly shattered the solid concrete bunkers, and the artillery was thrown into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
At the same time, 36 155mm howitzers and 205 integrated mm howitzers also launched a fierce attack.
These artillery pieces poured shells at Area 317 with intensive firepower. Shells fell on the positions of the Alliance Army like raindrops, and the sound of explosions continued one after another.
The coalition army's rocket artillery units suffered heavy losses in this round of attacks. Many launch pads were destroyed and rockets were detonated, triggering a series of explosions.
The bunkers and turrets were not spared either. The powerful force of the 155mm shells made these seemingly solid fortifications vulnerable in an instant. The shells directly hit the bunkers and turrets, blowing huge gaps in their walls, destroying the machine guns and artillery inside, and killing or injuring soldiers one after another.
