Chapter 574: Fighting Weakness
Although Otowa and the others are not official UMC and are not bound by the Basic Law, neither Otowa nor Chizuru have the intention of killing them all.
Even if those T-72B3 and T-90MS combat power are a little bit there, they can still be sold for money. Now that Otowa and Chizuru are almost insanely poor, they don't want to let go of this bit of fly meat.
After arranging for a team of loli to guard the prisoners of war, the rest of the troops made their way into the refinery.
What remained here seemed to be the elite troops of the rebel group, who were much more disciplined than the salted fish outside, and were still fiercely resisting.
Even Otowa admired their courage a little.
A T-90MS appeared to attempt to circle the side of the Otowa XM1A3, but was directly hit by a missile that pierced the side, triggering a violent detonation.
Two silver-haired loli stood up from their bunkers and loaded their Red Arrow 12 anti-tank missile launchers with new ammunition.
After entering the refinery, the armored vehicles and the infantry they carried finally entered the battlefield and used various equipment to cover the tanks.
The rebel infantry also attempted to dig out the tanks with canisters, but were immediately attacked by the remote-controlled weapon station above the XM1A3.
Through the handle and display in front of him, Otowa easily aimed his machine gun at the enemy, and then a round of 0.50 caliber barrage passed.
In addition to the remote-controlled weapon warfare, the rebel soldiers also have to worry about sniper attacks.
These Lori, who use large-caliber sniper rifles, are like hanging up because someone has reported the point, and the rebel soldiers who are pressed dare not show their heads at all.
"Keep attacking, move on to the next position. ”
After eliminating the defenders located here, Chizuru did not hesitate in the slightest.
The refinery covers a large area, and the Otowa and others have only captured a corner, and the real battle has just begun tonight.
"Attack!"
Otowa also pulled up a few Type 96s nearby and charged towards the new goal set by Chizuru.
Although the Type 96 is a second-and-a-half-generation tank, the latest improved version purchased by the Otowa team also has a third-generation tank, so it is still good to make up the number.
An armor-piercing bullet shot out of the cover in the distance, hitting the Type 96 next to Otowaba.
These Type 96s are equipped with heavy reactive armor, which is theoretically difficult to detonate in a single shot, but this time the situation is skewed.
"Car No. 7 was wrecked. The Lori maid beside Otoha said lightly.
This Lori is not only here to pour tea and water for Otowa, but is also responsible for conveying the message from Kara to Otowa.
"It's ......"
There aren't many armor-piercing shells that can fire a Type 96 head-on, and as far as Otowa knows, there are only a few.
Just then, a strangely shaped tank pulled out of cover and appeared in front of Otowa and the others.
The body of this tank is a cut longer than that of a regular tank, but the turret is pitifully small, which makes one wonder if there is really room for members.
"Armata!"
With surprise, Otowa called out the name of the tank.
First appearing at the Red Square parade on May 4, 2015, the T-14 Armata is the world's first fourth-generation tank, with an unmanned turret in its biggest feature.
The Type 96 shell that was destroyed just now was fired by this Armata's Type 2A82 125mm smoothbore gun. Thanks to the new loading method, Armata's artillery finally got rid of short-shot shells, which greatly liberated the lethality of the artillery.
Several Type 96s next to Otowa fired back, but none of the shells could penetrate the armata's armor.
The greatly enhanced protection capability is also a highlight of the "Armata", mainly due to the compartment design.
Compared with the existing Russian tanks, the three crew members of the "Armata" (the commander on the right, the driver in front on the left, and the gunner behind the driver) can be better protected, and they are all located in the chassis reinforcement cabin far from the main gun, which completely realizes the isolation from the ammunition, and can greatly reduce the damage caused by the explosion and fire caused by the secondary effect.
Due to the omission of heavy armor to protect the crew inside the turret, the frontal armor of the "Armata" chassis became thicker. In addition, by concentrating all the occupants in the chassis reinforcement cabin, the area that needs to be protected on the sides of the body is also significantly reduced.
Although he knew that the rebel group had such a powerful tank, Otowa still didn't expect to meet her.
"Alright, come on!"
Otowa took control of the artillery through the hunting system and quickly aimed at the enemy tank.
The Amata is very powerful, but the Otowa XM1A3 is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is also one of the most advanced tanks in the world.
A shell drilled through the muzzle of the 140mm gun, and then hit the head of the Amata without any deviation.
Don't complain about why Otowa didn't hit the crotch, at this distance, the cannonball pierced the crotch and smashed to the floor, and it couldn't kill or injure many members at all.
Otowa chose the area that had just been knocked out by the Type 96, and the thick and long depleted uranium core of the 140mm bullet was pierced through as if it were cut into cream.
Compared with tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles that blunt themselves in armor-piercing, depleted uranium armor-piercing projectiles will constantly sharpen their warheads in the process of armor-piercing, so their penetration ability is much stronger than that of ordinary armor-piercing projectiles.
In addition, due to the easy oxidation of uranium, after the depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile hits a tank and other armored vehicles, it will trigger uranium combustion due to the high temperature of the impact, and then produce a higher temperature, soften the armor at the impact point, reduce the strength of the armor, and make the depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile penetrate the armor.
Even though the T-14 Armata's frontal armor was very strong, it was still pierced by the ghost's depleted uranium shells, and the armor melted in the heat poured directly into the fighting compartment, killing the three members inside.
"It's not easy. ”
Seeing this Armata stop, Otowa finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This reminded her of the previous Campbell League finals in the Marine Battle, when the front of each vehicle was covered with reactive armor, and she had to find a way to pick up the parts that couldn't stick to the era.
With the first Armata appearing, naturally there will be a second and third, and Otowa is finally in a bitter battle.
At this time, the effect of the coordination is revealed, although the frontal armor of Amata is strong, but the sides are like that, and they can still be easily penetrated.
Modern main battle tanks are basically like Armata, with thick fronts and weak sides and backs, after all, the limit of total weight is there, and strengthening the frontal defense capability is the highest priority.
The Lolitas reacted quickly, using their main battle tanks to attract fire from the front, and then attacking with their wheels and light tanks around the flank, and did not let these Armatas dominate the battlefield.
Of course, losses were inevitable in the process, and the battle became more intense.
