Chapter 1357： No need

There is no way. Weapons are outdated. In fact, they are not necessarily cheap in repair and maintenance. Sometimes, improving maintenance efficiency is also a way to upgrade weapons.

The first F-15 fighter to serve was called the Hangar Queen. This nickname was given by the ground crew. What complained about was the poor attendance rate of the F-15 fighter when it first entered service.

However, with the advancement of technology and subsequent improvements, the F-15 fighter's attendance rate has been significantly improved.

Even so, before the third-generation fighters entered service, the attendance rate of the second-generation fighters with relatively mature technology was actually lower.

Therefore, the maintenance time of a J-7 fighter is not shorter than that of a J-11, and the attendance rate of the J-7 fighter may not be higher than that of the J-20.

Because of this, in fact, the Ailan Hill Empire retains a large number of old weapons, which is not a very efficient choice.

Actually in use, this weapon model is actually chaotic, and the old weapons have been in service all the time, causing too many troubles for the logistics support of the Ailan Hill Empire.

Still the old saying, everything is because there is really no other way! The Ailan Hill Empire has no time to make more newer weapons and equipment, and no time to waste dealing with old weapons.

The final compromise is that a large number of obsolete weapons and equipment have to continue to be used, and in some corners, continue to play its due role.

Even, because time is too tight, and there is still demand in some places, etc., the machinery produced by the Ailan Hill Empire in the early years continues to play its role.

Those factories that produce vintage tractors have now been moved to the southern part of the planet and continue their own production work.

Even the original production line that produced 7.92 mm caliber bullets, as well as the machinery for the production of Mauser rifles, remain and are in continuous production.

Because the civilian market also needs shotguns, the Ailan Hill Empire did not have time to design a qualified shotgun for the civilian market-so the Mauser 98K rifle was retained and became some planetary immigrants. Inside the weapon.

The most primitive machine tools continue to be used in some places, or were sent directly to some planets, and became part of the industrialization there.

Most of these machine tools have been sent to Meyn and the like, on the planet where there is a direct portal with Ailan Sirius, so the transportation cost is very low, and the equipment itself can still continue to use the waste heat.

Since then, the Ailan Hill Empire has become what it is today: nuclear fusion reactors provide almost unlimited electricity, and these electricity-driven machinery may be producing Jiefang trucks...

And on those economic planets, new pure electric cars and Jiefang Trucks live in harmony, and everyone is playing their respective roles in building the Ailan Hill Empire.

It's just embarrassing for the logistics support troops-while they are repairing the 99 tank, they must go back and review how to deal with the problem of the transmission failure of the M4 tank.

"The puppet's 2nd Armored Corps has arrived at the front line. This is good news. We can finally draw the main heavy armored grenadier out of the long line of defense." Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Burrison smiled. The officer beside him said.

On the other side of the trench where he was, the old 155 heavy towed howitzer used by the puppet troops was raising their barrels.

I don’t know if the tired puppet loader is already holding the fuse-mounted cannonball and standing at the designated position. On the ammunition cart on the side, the puppet is passing the cannonball one after another to the waiting puppet carrying the cannonball below. soldier.

"With their addition, the thickness of the defense line will be guaranteed, at least we can guarantee the safety of our own rear." The expression on the face of the officer next to Burrison was obviously lighter than the previous two days.

Wars, especially large-scale wars, are not necessarily advanced models of informatization. Because even a super empire, it is impossible to convert every one of its shells into advanced rocket extended-range guidance.

Production capacity is always a bottleneck, and the difficulty of producing an ordinary shell is in any case less than that of a missile. It is true that missiles may be able to solve more advanced problems, and in a sense it is more economical. Missiles can be used to completely replace artillery shells. The problem lies in another word: "expensive"!

Therefore, after hundreds of old-fashioned 155mm-caliber towed artillery guns and other 105-caliber artillery have arrived on the front line, without continuing to cover a certain position with expensive missiles, all the commanders of the Ailanhill Empire, Obviously relieved.

"Boom!" When Burrison and the officers next to him discussed how to assemble the heavy-armored grenadier unit, the 155mm caliber artillery in the distance roared.

For a time, the artillery position shook the ground, and the air wave rolled up the dust, and there was a kind of heroism that obscured the sky and covered the sun. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

For many years, the commanders of the Ailan Hill Empire did not hear such neat cannons anymore. As a veteran, Burrison was even slightly moved at this moment.

He missed this kind of war, and missed the heroism of the dense impact points on the enemy's positions that were rolling almost at the same time.

Katyusha rockets flitted over his head densely, and then landed on the ruins of the crashed Jianfeng in the distance.

It was a "man-made" commanding height. The falling sword's edge turned a recess into a small mound. After the crash, many white-clothed swordsmen stationed here to form a line of defense.

"Because the orbital bombing has changed the terrain and landforms and has begun to affect the environment and climate, we can only reduce the number of attacks as much as possible... The rest depends on our ground forces!" Burrison was very excited because he felt that he had it again. The opportunity to continue to make contributions.

The officer standing next to him also agreed with him and echoed: "While a powerful weapon can achieve combat effects, it must be used frequently and must have sequelae. Nuclear bombs are naturally shocking as a means of kicking off the curtain, but The ending will still be written by our traditional ground troops."

"The radiation environment hasn't recovered?" Burrison turned his head and asked the other officer in a hurry.

The officer shook his head and replied: "Reporter, because dozens of nuclear bombs have been used, the level of radioactive contamination nearby is too high, and it is estimated that it will not return to normal within three days."

"What about electromagnetic radiation?" Burrison continued to ask.

"It is slowly decreasing, communication has been restored, sir! To tell the truth...the current total amount of radiation, it is not impossible to forcibly enter the radiation area without protection." The officer thought for a while and replied: "Yes. ...No need."

"Then... wait a minute." Burrison once again held up his binoculars and admired the splendid view of artillery washing...
