Chapter 353: The terrifying killing efficiency of modern weapons
Each Patriot air defense missile weighs 914 kg, has a maximum flight speed of Mach 5, a maneuverability of 25G, and adopts a program + instruction + TVM composite guidance method.
For fighter jets in this time and space, I can’t say the kill probability is 100%, but 99% is still no problem.
A Tsarist Russian heavy bomber flying in the night sky suddenly exploded violently.
This also directly kicked off the Patriot air defense missile killing.
One after another, the bombers flying at an altitude of 6000 meters were destroyed in the explosion.
This sudden change also caused great chaos in the entire flight formation.
All the pilots looked up at the night sky with horror and confusion.
They didn't even know what had attacked them.
Because the incoming air defense missiles had already exhausted their fuel, they relied on inertia to fly for the second half of the journey.
By the time they discovered the missile, they had already entered the range of the anti-aircraft missile's fragmentation-killing warhead.
This is an air defense battle without any suspense.
Dazzling flames bloomed in the sky above Yekaterinburg, and one plane wreckage after another crashed near Yekaterinburg.
This also directly alarmed Commander Chuikov, the commander-in-chief of the front line.
He walked out of the underground command center, looked up at the fighter planes that exploded one after another, and then looked blankly in another direction.
Their plane hadn't even flown over Yekaterinburg yet, so how could an explosion happen right above their heads?
But he didn't see any signs of an attack. Why were fighter planes exploding one after another?
This approach was beyond the expectations of him, the commander-in-chief on the front line.
He racked his brains but couldn't figure out what kind of anti-aircraft weapon could hit such a long distance.
The failure of their fighter planes' night attack must have alarmed the ancient country's troops in Zarechi, which means that the surprise of the night attack had been lost.
"Order the ground forces to withdraw immediately."
He knew very well that his night attack plan had failed, and sending ground troops to attack would only be suicide.
But it's too late to retreat now.
At this moment, the ground forces were still about 20 kilometers away from Zarechny.
After discovering the air situation, a number of small reconnaissance drones were immediately launched into the camp.
This type of drone is launched from a launch pad and recovered by parachute. It weighs less than 200 kilograms and has an effective reconnaissance radius of only about 100 kilometers.
It is equipped with navigation systems, high-definition cameras, infrared thermal imagers and other equipment.
This small reconnaissance drone equipped by the army can provide troops with a field of view within a range of 100 kilometers.
Therefore, as soon as the situation was discovered, the reconnaissance troops began to launch drones, focusing on the highway in the direction of Yekaterinburg.
This night attack ground force was discovered before it even reached the camp's outer cordon.
"The artillery units will provide covering fire for half an hour, and then extend the fire to cut off their retreat."
"Order the 57th Heavy Combined Armor Brigade to first lurk near the enemy's night raid force, and immediately launch an attack after the artillery fire ends to eliminate this force.
The 65th Air Assault Brigade's helicopter gunships provided cover for the attack."
After learning about the situation, Army Group Commander Xie Zixuan issued a series of orders.
"This Russian commander is quite interesting. He seems to be a tough opponent."
Even Xie Zixuan had to admit that this Tsarist Russian commander was very courageous.
If he was not facing the ancient country's defense forces equipped with cross-generation weapons, once their night attack was successful, the losses of the troops would be very heavy.
The other party is very good at seizing opportunities.
However, with such a huge gap in strength between the two sides, any strategies and tactics will not be of much use.
During the Peninsula War in the original time and space, although the troops of the University of Tokyo were equipped with only millet and rifles, they also received weapons and equipment assistance from the Soviet Union.
Otherwise, how could he sweep through seventeen gangs with just millet and a rifle?
It is precisely because there is no generation gap in equipment, coupled with the iron-like fighting will of the Eastern University troops, that they can defeat the Americans.
Tsarist Russia did not have this condition either in terms of equipment or fighting will.
On the contrary, the ancient country's national defense forces not only possess advanced weapons and equipment, but also have an iron will.
The 67th Artillery Brigade's M109A6 self-propelled artillery and BM-30 Tornado self-propelled rocket launchers are ready to go.
除此集团军属的炮兵旅之外，第57、58重装合成旅的两个炮营以及59、60、61中型合成旅的三个炮兵也加入到了炮击序列当中。
The main artillery equipped by the three medium-sized combined brigades is the famous Caesar vehicle-mounted howitzer.
In the original time and space, this thing was also the world's first vehicle-mounted howitzer.
The performance is much more advanced than the vehicle-mounted howitzers previously developed by the ancient country.
After all, the vehicle-mounted howitzers before the ancient times were simply artillery pieces moved onto trucks.
However, the Caesar vehicle-mounted howitzer is different. It combines artillery and vehicles to form a vehicle-mounted howitzer system.
More than a hundred artillery pieces opened fire almost at the same time.
In an instant, the sound of artillery like thunder swept across the entire camp, and the 122mm rocket launchers and 300mm rockets formed a long dragon of fire in the air like a rain of steel fire.
At this moment, the Tsarist Russian night assault group had just received an order from the headquarters, and the rear team became the front team and began to retreat.
Suddenly, there was a dense whistling sound in the sky, even drowning out the roar of the engines of cars, armored vehicles and tanks.
The experienced veterans immediately determined what the sounds were coming from.
"Bombardment!"
Without a word, the veterans started jumping out of the car, leaving the panicked recruits behind.
Suddenly, the shells fell, causing a series of dense explosions among the crowd and the convoy.
The 300mm rocket with a thermobaric warhead fell to the ground like a meteor and exploded 50 meters above the ground.
As the flames spread, all the oxygen within a kilometer radius was sucked out.
The veterans and recruits who were constantly jumping out of the car had just landed when their alveoli were blown into blood foam by the terrifying negative pressure, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
Equally deadly are terminally-guided munitions and cluster munitions.
The terminal-sensitive munitions exploded in the air, and the anti-tank bullets directly attacked the moving tanks, armored vehicles and even trucks.
The trucks were better off, but the interiors of the tanks and armored vehicles were covered in metal jets, and the people affected were directly shot into sieves.
The ammunition of some tanks was detonated by the metal jet, and the turrets weighing more than ten tons were blown away like tin cans kicked out by children.
The dense bullets released by the cluster shells were like flowers scattered by fairies from heaven, pricking the Tsarist Russian soldiers who were running for their lives and exposed to the attack range into hedgehogs.
Various shells and rockets, including high-explosive bombs, cluster shells, thermobaric bombs, and incendiary bombs, continued to fall.
With the help of modern weapons, the efficiency of harvesting lives is much higher than in this era.
Especially those ammunitions equipped with advanced sensors, which can destroy people and animals in the air, and even cars can be pierced into hedgehogs.
There are also unmanned reconnaissance aircraft equipped with thermal imagers in the night sky that provide accurate coordinates for the artillery units in the rear.
Nearly 30,000 Tsarist Russian troops also suffered rapid casualties under the artillery bombardment.
