Capítulo 1749: Chapter 1666: The Most Suitable Weapon
What does modern warfare love to strike the most? Large formations! Your troops are grouped together, vehicles are positioned together, and the entire position is filled with targets…
Such a target is a dream co true; just unleash firepower, and you can crush it, it’s simply a dream “target.” And the Allied Forces’ troops have always appeared in this state.
The Tang Army’s weapons and equipnt are perfectly suited for fighting such battles because the current level of Tang Army weapons and equipnt is precisely prepared for this kind of war.
A large number of mass-produced weapons and equipnt brought out by Tang Mo are all designed during the Cold War, specifically designed as ace among aces for this type of warfare competition, and they are simply born to deal with this situation.
Whether it’s Thunderbolt or Mi-24, whether it’s hailstorms or the main battle tank concept, these things are ant for large-scale battles to wipe out the presence of opposing large formations.
At this ti, no one had yet focused on electronic chips, and the Gulf War’s style of easily defeating weak enemies had not yet fully matured. Everyone’s mindset was still on using modern weapons and equipnt to fight wars similar to World War II.
So, when this outdated combat mindset encounters advanced weapons and equipnt, it transforms into a simple, primitive brutality that seems clumsy and inefficient but is, in fact, cold and realistic.
Much like a certain European war on Earth’s plane, causing everyone to reevaluate, under the premise of a sufficiently broad battlefield with a large number of participating forces, whether those so-called precision-guided strikes can truly influence an evenly matched war.
When you cannot completely suppress your opponent with electromagnetic ans, cannot paralyze the opponent’s nurous forces, and can only fall into a localized war of attrition, can your precision weapons withstand the terrifying consumption rate?
A hundred missiles can indeed crush everything, but the problem is, after firing 100 missiles and your opponent still hasn’t surrendered, do you have another hundred missiles to continue such a battle?
Precision strikes are imnsely powerful and their deterrent effect is unparalleled, but the damage caused by precision weapons doesn’t necessarily appear straightforward; the more precise you are in destroying the enemy’s military capacity, the smaller the impact on civilian casualties, and the less likely the opposing populace’s morale will be affected.
These are the “downsides” produced under the developnt of modern warfare thods. Despite appearing increasingly humane, in reality, it has beco more and more cruel. To be supposedly more humane, wars, becoming increasingly costly, have even made most countries unable to afford wars themselves.
Entering the new century, the battles that have erupted on Earth seem to be challenging the designers of modern warfare weapons with opposite examples: Are expensive precision and exceptional performance weapons and equipnt genuinely suited to the rules of war?
Even if Xiao Li Flying Dagger only has one flying dagger, no matter how unfailing, how long can it intimidate the enemy? Thus, with the continuous evolution of several battlefield scenarios, cheap weapons and equipnt have once again co into view, and those sowhat undignified items have once again beco the last resort for soldiers.
This is undoubtedly a black humor in the history of advanced weapon technology and equipnt developnt; the side attacking a city in the twenty-first century uses “Spiked Skin Siege Engine” to pave the way, and surprisingly, the result is acceptable…
It’s truly unclear what those keyboard warriors brought in to fill the line would feel seeing the curved trenches before them and the machine guns eerily resembling the MG42. And those senior war advisors sitting in front of computers, sneering at how la the Iran–Iraq war was, when comparing crater photos of the First World War and the current European battlefield, would they have to pinch their noses and feel that the phrase “artillery is the God of War” is nothing short of an absolute truth?
In short, all those clamoring that artillery is outdated are still alive, for those who knew the usefulness of artillery have already died under the shells. As long as soone spends a night in a foxhole with a rifle, he would understand that staying alive in that place, even a pair of socks is a freaking heirloom!
At this mont, on the border of the Poplar Empire, the Elf Soldiers finally experienced the tragedy if the Cold War turned into a hot war: they were buried by innurable rockets in the trench tunnels, and before they could climb out, they were crushed by the tank tracks, not even having ti to let out a scream.
Under intense fire coverage, even breathing beca a tornt. Particles in the air rushed directly into the lung tubes, and that burning sensation would undoubtedly leave an indelible psychological scar on everyone.
They would recall this torture every ti they cough, and every abrupt sound would pierce their frail nerves… And all this is the privilege of a group of lucky ones.
Indeed, you must be a lucky person because only if you survive do you have the opportunity or the right to endure this entire process of collapse.
The unlucky ones died the mont the shell fell, beca fragnts on comrades’ faces, turned into flying limbs, beca dirt under others’ feet, or another bloody sandbag hung on the sandbag.
There’s a precondition for using flesh and blood to counter steel, you must have a faith harder than steel, suitable terrain, flexible tactics, and every past lesson and hardship is indispensable.
Obviously, the Elves lacked these things, they mistakenly concentrated their forces and laid out a front line from World War I and II era hoping to use such a line to halt the advance of Cold War era war machines.
The result is evident…they are dood to fail.
The stressed Elf Troops began abandoning the first line of defense, deeming it a minor retreat, rely intending to yield the bombarded line, retreating a few hundred ters, and reorganizing the next line of defense.
But once they comnced their withdrawal, they found they seed unable to stop: once they began their retreat, the Tang Army’s advance speed appeared to exceed their retreat speed.
Everyone began to panic, not knowing when they could halt their withdrawal. So tried to stop this from happening, yet those ready to continue fighting were soon engulfed by the defeated army and the pursuing Tang Army.
It’s like a tidal wave enveloping everything trying to stop its onslaught, leaving only devastation and a few sparse, truly sturdy elevated points.
Unfortunately, these solitary points could not form a line of defense, and these stronghold defense nodes could split the defeated allies but couldn’t stop the “flood peak” ford by the rushing Tang Army.
