Chapter 1852: Can the war still be fought like this?
The second type is a precision strike model. What they hold is a smart grenade launcher, which can launch micro-attack weapons, and can also use modified heavy-duty focus rifles for combat.
As for the third type, it is a heavy fire support model. They hold rocket launchers, anti-tank missiles, individual anti-aircraft missiles, automatic grenade launchers, etc.
What surprised everyone was that the weapons held by these soldiers wearing heavy-duty mechanical exoskeleton-assisted protective armor were all live ammunition. They were attacking simulated targets while moving quickly.
Basically, in front of them, these simulated targets will be destroyed instantly. Those erected bunkers will be destroyed by rockets and anti-tank missiles, and those defensive positions will be covered by automatic grenades. Those tank targets will also be quickly destroyed.
.
This scene made everyone on the high platform excited. Everyone was no longer satisfied with just looking at the distance or watching the drone aerial footage on the big screen. Instead, they all picked up the telescopes in front of them and watched carefully.
While watching, everyone was also talking and exclaiming.
Can this battle still be fought like this?
What surprised everyone even more was from behind. From behind the sand dune, several behemoths two or three meters tall emerged. They were the Xingtian powered mechas that Wu Hao had introduced during the exercise.
.
Six tall Xingtian power mechas flew around the shooting range at extremely fast speeds. Each step was more than ten meters long. It didn't take long for them to catch up with the attacking troops in front.
The weapons held by these six Xingtian powered mechas are also completely different from those held by soldiers wearing heavy mechanical exoskeleton-assisted protective armor.
Some were armed with 7.62mm 6-barreled Gatling guns and fired at distant targets while marching to suppress fire.
There were also those holding 14.5mm three-barreled rotary machine guns for long-range fire suppression. The rusty Type 59 tanks in between were beaten into sieves by the 14.5mm steel cores.
There are also those who hold 24mm cannons and fire while walking. Although the shooting speed is not comparable, their powerful firepower and power are unmatched by the first two weapons.
There are also handheld multiple rocket launchers to provide fire coverage to remote targets, etc.
In short, these six Xingtian powered mechas became the focus of the entire shooting range as soon as they appeared, making everyone unable to take their eyes away.
The exercise continued on the shooting range. Several armored vehicles that had been beaten and scrapped were lying in front of the attacking troops, blocking their attack route.
Usually when encountering this situation, there are generally several solutions. The first is blasting. Use blasting to open a passage to facilitate the team to pass. However, not everything can be cleared through blasting, and some things cannot be cleared through blasting.
.For example, these iron tortoises weighing more than ten tons cannot be broken into pieces no matter how you explode them.
The other method is to call the engineering vehicles at the rear to move. However, this is more time-consuming and may even cause the attack to terminate and delay the fighter plane.
Of course, the easiest way is to avoid it. However, sometimes battlefield conditions do not allow it, and avoiding it may delay time, and may even cause a large number of casualties.
On the shooting range, only two Xingtian powered mechas were seen walking up to them, and then they leaned over and pushed hard against the scrap armored vehicles weighing more than ten tons. In everyone's surprise, they actually pushed and moved away forcefully.
An opening was created for the attacking troops to pass quickly.
The Xingtian power mecha that arrived later continued to expand the passage and then followed it through.
This kind of performance really made everyone's eyes light up. Let's not talk about other things, let's just say that this power can definitely be used a lot on the battlefield. And in many cases, it can play an important role.
An old man present said: "I think this power mecha can not only be used in combat, but can also be used in battlefield equipment rescue and repair, special engineering operations, and logistics supplies, etc."
And it is more effective in these areas than in conventional combat."
After hearing the old man's words, everyone present nodded in approval. One of the experts shook his head after nodding and said: "In fact, this training venue has greatly restricted this kind of powered mecha.
There is also a heavy mechanical exoskeleton to help protect armor. I think these two weapons and equipment are more suitable for fighting in complex terrain.
For example, in urban street battles, mountain jungle battles, plateau and mountain battles, etc., it is difficult for heavy weapons and equipment to reach and function in these areas, and many signals rely on the infantry's own firepower.
If these two weapons and equipment are available, it will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of our combat troops in these terrain conditions. It will be particularly effective in dealing with some disputes and small-scale conflicts."
The expert's words immediately won the approval of everyone. Everyone naturally knows what the disputes and conflicts this expert refers to. If they are really applied, it will be able to greatly change the unfavorable situations in extreme terrain environments.
, to gain us a regional strategic advantage.
Another expert expressed his worries at this time: "Although this type of large powered mecha moves quickly and is powerful, it is relatively tall and vulnerable to enemy attacks.
It’s still unclear how useful it can be on the battlefield. But as mentioned before, if it is used in special engineering operations, logistical supplies, and equipment rescue, it would be very suitable.”
Indeed, compared to armored fighting vehicles and tanks, this kind of large-scale powered armor is thin-skinned and large-scale, and ordinary anti-armor weapons can penetrate and destroy it. It is still doubtful how much combat effectiveness it can exert on the battlefield. Another general spoke.
said.
After hearing what these two people said, everyone nodded in agreement. This is the shortcoming of this Xingtian power armor. How to use it in the future really needs to be carefully studied.
The old man smiled slightly, then turned to look at Wu Hao and asked, "What did you say?"
Wu Hao did not immediately refute the explanation but replied with a smile: "Every weapon and equipment has its own advantages and disadvantages. As for the current Xingtian Power Armor, its advantages are as obvious as they are definite. So what should I do?
Application depends on the user's own needs and creativity.
To put it bluntly, it is a tool, and people can decide how to use it. If it is used well, it can work wonders, but if it is not used well, it will be just a pile of scrap metal.
As for the problem that it is vulnerable to attacks due to its large size, we have actually been conducting research during the research and development stage, and so far we have studied several countermeasures.
For example, continue to improve the protective capabilities of this power mecha, install external armor and reactive armor, etc. Or install an active defense system to intercept incoming rocket missiles, etc."
