Homo sapiens.

Thunder Dragon No. [-] immediately opened the support frame and inserted it directly into the sediment at the bottom of the water. After fixing the position, it began to adjust the muzzle and angle.

With a lot of auxiliary equipment, it took only 5 minutes to adjust the shooting parameters.

The captain looked at his watch: "Start loading the shells."

"receive."

The shell automatic filling machine quickly stuffs the special armor-piercing shell and propellant into the gun chamber.

"fire!"

drop!The ignition switch is pressed!

boom!

The TNT explosion produces a driving force, and the projectile is projected quickly.

The terrifying recoil and air waves hit the surrounding water like a huge fist.

……

And the southwest direction is about 63 kilometers away from the cannon launch site.

Veer, Singer, Bart and other officers who were still eating and chatting were having a lively chat.

"With this batch of ammunition, we will be able to attack Siliguri City occupied by the rebels in a few days. Then I will make those traitors pay the price." Singer shouted brazenly.

Suddenly an air defense siren sounded outside.

Bart, who was about to speak, was taken aback: "What's going on? Enemy attack?"

"Don't be nervous! It may be drone harassment." Weir has seen air battles between the two sides in the past few days, as well as Assam's drone swarm.

However, his voice just fell.

boom!His whole body was bleeding from seven holes, his eyes widened and he fell down.

The same happened to other officers.

A 300mm caliber armor-piercing projectile fell down at nearly three times the speed of sound, not to mention being hit directly, even if it was about 200 meters away, the body would be severely injured.

And the shell just now fell less than 50 meters away from the headquarters, and the shock wave and vibration directly killed mammals within a radius of 100 meters.

At the position where it was hit, a large pit of more than ten meters was left.

The munitions soldiers who were still carrying ammunition hid after hearing the air defense siren, and then heard a loud noise.

A few minutes later, I hurriedly felt that Colonel Vilan Volvo, who was near the headquarters, looked at the big pit not far away, and his face was pale.

Even if he is just a living bag relying on his uncle's relationship, he still knows some military common sense.

Under such a blow, and at such a close distance, his uncle must be in danger.

The sudden air defense siren issued a hasty reminder.

The adjutant's face changed drastically: "Hurry up and hide! The enemy is attacking again!"

"Bastard! Why didn't the air defense battalion intercept it?" Weilan roared and ran to a nearby bunker.

boom!An underground warehouse storing ammunition was hit instantly, and the chain reaction caused by the shock wave and vibration directly detonated hundreds of tons of ammunition.

Boom boom boom...

Watching the flames soaring into the sky in the distance.

Vilan was taken aback.

At this time, the air defense battalion was in the position.

More than a dozen Czech-made missile vehicles are also quickly adjusting the shooting parameters, and the computer has locked the launch position through the firing trajectory.

After a while, five ground-to-ground missiles of the improved version of Dadi 1 soared into the air.

However, at this time, the Thunder Dragon No. [-] had already started the ground-effect flight mode immediately after firing its guns, and moved to another lake more than ten kilometers away.

After arriving at the predetermined location, Thunder Dragon [-] sank directly below the surface of the water.

And drones near the previous location started creating heat lures.

The Dadi 600 improved missile with a flying speed of only 1 meters per second took 105 seconds to reach the target position.

And Thunder Dragon No. [-] had already escaped.

These galloping missiles were attracted by the thermal lure drone, but they did not find the Thunder Dragon [-], which was still hidden under the water more than ten kilometers away.

The Thunder Dragon No. [-] underwater stretched out its roaring cannon again.

boom!

Another shell was thrown.

Then Brontosaurus One shifted again.

The two sides fought like this for more than half an hour.

天竺军的36师、21师，发射了50多枚大地1导弹，而雷龙一号也发射了21发炮弹。

However, these 21 shells directly destroyed the opposite headquarters, ammunition depot, fuel depot and an entire air defense battalion.

The Thunder Dragon One is like a loach, it can change places after fighting, and it can also dive into the water.

The Tianzhu army did not dare to send reconnaissance planes to reconnaissance, so they could only be beaten passively.

As for satellite photography, it is night now, and the resolution is very low. In addition, Thunder Dragon [-] has a camouflage coating, and the feedback from remote sensing detection is similar to that of rocks.

After killing the opponent's headquarters and supplying ammunition, Thunder Dragon [-] also completed its mission, and stopped shelling, lurking under the surface of a swamp.

Chapter 244 Equipment and Hanging

After the artillery battle ended.

More than five hours have passed.

The Tianzhu army was full of mourners, and the 21 big pits were in a mess.

In the valley base.

Thunder Dragon No. [-] has quietly returned to the diving port of the base, and a large number of technicians are inspecting the hull and gun chamber of Thunder Dragon No. [-].

Looking at the reconnaissance report in his hand, Gu Li was not too surprised by the results of Thunder Dragon One, but he still reminded:

"The Thunder Dragon One's movement speed is still too slow. Once the enemy has figured out its situation, they will definitely use saturation strikes."

As the designer of Thunder Dragon [-], Alexey said with a smile: "General Guli, don't worry, this is only the first version, and I will upgrade Thunder Dragon [-] next."

"Upgrade? The speed of the ground effect ship is almost at the limit?" Gu Li asked curiously.

"Yes, even if our engine power is relatively sufficient, the speed of Thunder Dragon 480 has reached its limit, and [-] kilometers per hour is its limit speed."

"Then how to increase the speed?"

"It's not to increase the speed, but to reduce the size, and build a batch of self-propelled artillery ground-effect ships with a caliber of 150mm. With our material advantages, the weight can be reduced to about 80 tons, the flying height is maintained at about 15 meters, and the flying speed is It can reach 650 kilometers per hour."

Hehe, why do you guys have such big brains, Gu Li complained secretly.

Alexey continued: "The improved version of the Brontosaurus ground-effect ship can be used as a ground strike group and can be hidden underwater. Even if the opponent has artillery radar, it will take a few minutes to launch rockets and missiles after locking. Siege."

"Furthermore, the modified Brontosaurus ground-effect ship can completely fly away from the original place with one shot. At a speed of 650 kilometers per hour, it can move more than ten kilometers in two to three minutes. In addition, the ultra-low-altitude flight radar cannot lock , the survival rate on the battlefield will rise in a straight line.”

Gu Li thought to himself, fortunately, the production cost of many materials of Homo sapiens company is very low, otherwise, according to the crazy design of you gangsters, ordinary forces would have gone bankrupt long ago.

A gunship like the Thunder Dragon [-] has a variety of stealth designs, and can even be covered with an optical camouflage layer to make it invisible to satellites.

After using the extended-range ammunition, even a 150mm caliber shell can have a range of 60-70 kilometers.

Of course, the Thunder Dragon ground effect ship can not only be used as a self-propelled artillery, but also can be transformed into a carrier platform for rocket launchers, anti-aircraft guns, and missiles.

The reason why missile vehicles are not used is that the speed of vehicles is too slow. In front of modern artillery radars and early warning aircraft, the survival rate on the battlefield is too low.

Moreover, in the control area of ​​the Assam branch, there are only a few roads, the target is too obvious, and the road conditions are still very poor.

Therefore, in some bases before the Assam branch, some people were thinking about how to solve this problem.

Alexei, who came from Lucia, had worked in the Caspian Sea Shipyard before. He had seen a large ground-effect ship like the Caspian Sea Monster, so he proposed the ground-effect ship plan.

Thunder Dragon One is one of his experimental products.

Thanks to Homo sapiens' strong technical reserves, Alexei's Brontosaurus in-ground effect ship went very smoothly.

For example, the low-altitude flight control problems, ground obstacle avoidance problems, mountainous terrain problems, engine high energy consumption problems, and hull structural strength problems that plagued ground-effect aircraft have all been solved one by one.

This thing is a sharp weapon for the Assam branch, which does not plan to live on the ground, has relatively complicated terrain, and has a poor road foundation.

After all, this new type of ground effect boat does not need roads, and the berthing site does not need to be too demanding. It can be parked on water, swamps, grasslands, and farmland.

Moreover, it can be used as a platform for a variety of weapons, moving faster than an armed helicopter, and can fly at ultra-low altitude.

Unless the Tianzhu people use early warning aircraft to hover around them 24 hours a day, there is really no way to take the Brontosaurus ground effect ship.

Coulee even considered customizing a batch of Brontosaurus ground-effect ships as transport ships, which can quickly move field troops.

He suddenly thought of a question: "Engineer Alexei, what is the range of the Thunder Dragon?"

Alexey thought for a while: "The Thunder Dragon 5000 is about 2000 kilometers away, and the improved version of the Thunder Dragon is about [-] kilometers."

"2000 kilometers? That's enough. If it's transformed into a troop carrier, it can carry about 30 people!"

Alexei raised his eyebrows: "A troop carrier? If you remove the heavy equipment and use a 30mm cannon, it can indeed carry 30 fully armed soldiers."

"Then what if we use Thunder Dragon [-] as the foundation?"

"Bronto Dragon One? That can transport 200 fully armed soldiers."

Gu Li touched the stubble on his chin: "Can I let the ground effect ship attack in flight?"

"Huh? General Guli has the same thoughts as me, and my next step is to improve this problem." Alexei said happily.

The reason why the self-propelled artillery of the ground effect ship has to stop and launch is because of the recoil; for rocket launchers and missiles, it is because of the sudden reduction in weight that it is easy to cause flight out of control.

In fact, with the biochip and smart technology of Homo sapiens, it is still possible to improve this problem.

The two talked for more than half an hour, and finally Gu Li agreed to apply for special resources for Alexei's Thunder Dragon in-ground effect ship project.

Coulee has already planned to apply to the branch to manufacture 200-300 small Brontosaurus in-ground effect ships and 50 large Brontosaurus in-ground effect ships.

As for the manufacturing base, it certainly cannot be placed in the Siliguri Corridor, or even the Darjeeling area.

Only the more closed Zhuyu and Manipur are suitable to be the manufacturing base of ground effect boats.

After watching the performance battle of Thunder Dragon One.

Gu Li bid farewell to the base chief python flying dragon and engineer Alexei, and secretly went to the Darjeeling base with his subordinates.

In the past few days, the Assam branch and Tianzhu have not been calm, but have been maintaining fighting, especially in air combat, basically fighting every day.

However, basically in air combat, the Assam division has the upper hand.

Mainly the advantage of magnetic field radar, and the harassment of drone swarms.

Even if it is a phantom fighter, facing hundreds of drones, it will not get any benefits.

Just in the second half of the night after the artillery battle ended.

The revenge of the Tianzhu Air Force is coming.

Three Mirage fighters, plus five MiG-25s pulled out from the sealed warehouse, quickly approached the Siliguri Corridor.

The moment these planes take off.

The magnetic field radar at the Darjeeling base immediately locked the position of these aircraft.

Then three small airports hidden in the mountains quickly opened the gates, and 60 fixed-wing drones equipped with rocket engines took off quickly.

This is not so much an aircraft as it is a cruise missile.

The drone flying close to the ground was not detected by the Tianzhu Air Force's radar at all.

The moment the planes of the two sides met over the city of Siliguri, the drone showed a hideous face.

The rocket engine exploded at full strength in an instant, and the speed soared to Mach 2.5.

Before a Phantom fighter could react in time, it was flanked by three drones from the front, the back, and the bottom.

"Damn!" The pilot pressed the cannon button in horror, and the cannon fired violently at the drone rushing forward.

Yet he was too naive.
