Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 738

At the same time, while Lan Yu was preparing for battle, Wei Ba had also returned to Wei Wu to complete his report.

Hearing the soldiers' shouts of massacring the city in the distance, Wei Wu also laughed. He loved slaughtering the Japanese pirates the most.

But then Wei Wu raised the telescope again and looked towards Hidaka Castle, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.

"Due to limitations in technology and materials, the Hongwu Cannon's maximum range is only one thousand meters, or perhaps even less."

"But this is the maximum range, not the effective range. The power of the shells drops significantly after reaching this distance, and the threat to the navy is limited."

"The Japanese pirates should also know this, so their optimal firing distance should be to wait until the navy approaches within about 800 meters."

"But we can't be too extreme. I'll give them some leniency. Even if it's 900 meters, we have to let Lan Yu move first."

While thinking in his mind, Wei Wu took out the intercom from his arms.

"Lan Yu, I'm Wei Wu. You don't need to say anything, just listen to me. You are about three miles away from the Japanese pirates."

"Order the army to advance and halt approximately 270 feet from Hidaka Castle."

"Don't worry about the Japanese pirates firing. If they dare to fire, I will naturally deal with them. Just do as I say."

After Wei Wu finished speaking, he immediately turned the telescope and looked in the direction of the navy.

On the other side, Lan Yu heard Wei Wu's voice from the black box in his hand. Although he was surprised, he quickly calmed down.

Although he didn't know why he was asked to do this, he believed in Wei Wu, so he immediately issued the military order.

After seeing the navy army start to move through the telescope, Wei Wu put down the telescope with satisfaction.

"I originally wanted to save some, after all, there are only 200,000 rounds of ammunition, but the situation forced me to find a way to save."

While muttering to himself, Wei Wu turned around and put the tank back into the system warehouse, but then he waved again.

He took out a Vulcan machine gun that was fully loaded with ammunition, enough to smash the athletes into pieces.

The firing range of the Vulcan machine gun is 1.5 kilometers to 2 kilometers. Of course, the firing range here refers to the effective range.

It is within this shooting distance that accuracy and power can be guaranteed, and Wei Wu is located 800 meters away from the Japanese pirates.

With the power of the Vulcan machine gun, combined with armor-piercing bullets, it can penetrate the 25mm-30mm homogeneous steel armor of later generations.

Although the material of the cannons in the hands of the Japanese pirates today cannot be compared with homogeneous steel, the thickness is much higher, with a wall thickness of 50mm.

Even if the Vulcan machine gun is equipped with armor-piercing shells, it takes three to five shells to hit the same position to penetrate the barrel.

Therefore, Wei Wu did not plan to use standard armor-piercing shells, but instead switched to high-explosive incendiary shells because his target was not artillery.

After all, this thing is a machine gun! It is impossible to make three to five bullets hit the same position.

It would be no problem for Wei Wu to suppress the muzzle of the automatic rifle with his current strength, but how could he suppress the Vulcan machine gun?

Not to mention him, even the fire control systems of later generations couldn't do it. You have to know that this thing has six barrels!

So instead of wasting armor-piercing shells to attack artillery, it is better to use more efficient high-explosive incendiary shells to attack the people operating the artillery.

The characteristic of high-explosive incendiary bombs is that they will burn rapidly after hitting the target and explode to cause damage to the enemy.

These include the bullet's extreme kinetic energy, the high heat generated by the incendiary agent, the shock wave caused by the explosion, and bullet fragments.

This can be used to suppress the Japanese pirates and prevent them from firing. Once the navy approaches within 500 meters, the battlefield will become the navy's home ground.

The navy cannot defeat the Japanese pirates now because the artillery has a greater attack range and power, leaving the navy with no room to maneuver.
