Chapter 743: Blind Sniper

"And two more AMX30B2......"

After Otowa finished speaking, he quickly turned the turret of the chariot.

The AMX30 tank was developed at the Esy Le Moulino manufacturing plant under the direction of the French Ground Arms Industry Group (GIAT). The factory has trial-produced two batches of prototypes, the first batch of 2 prototypes, weighing 32,500kg, equipped with a 12-cylinder gasoline engine from the French Ordnance Company (SOFMA), with a power of 456k (620 horsepower). In the second batch of 7 units, the engine was changed to a 30-cylinder diesel engine of the production AMX12 tank, and the power was increased to 537k (720 hp).

In 1963, prototypes developed by France and the Federal Republic of Germany were tested in Mailly-de-Camp, Bourges and Satory, France, as well as at the Meppen Ranges in Germany.

From 1966 onwards, the Rohan factory began producing 20 AMX30 tanks per month, and by March 1985 more than 1,900 were produced, which were exported in large quantities in addition to equipping the French army. Spain received a concession from France to produce the tank.

The AMX-30B2 is an improved version of the AMX-30 main battle tank, which is the main equipment of the French Army and played an important role in the Gulf War. The total combat weight is 37 tons, and the maximum speed is 65 kilometers per hour. The main gun was a 105-mm rifled gun with an ammunition base of 53 rounds.

Like the Leopard 1, this thing is a product of the invincibility of armor-piercing shells, so the level of protection is quite impressive, even compared to some World War II tanks.

Just as Otowa was loading, the two AMX30B2 also fired back at them.

AMX30B2 uses a CN-105-F1 105mm gun, which can fire both the G-type armor-piercing projectiles developed by the French themselves and NATO-standard ammunition.

The other side is not stupid, after seeing the tight reactive armor on the face of the XM1, they naturally will not use chemical warheads.

The two tanks took aim in about the same amount of time, and then did not hesitate to attack Otowaba's vehicle.

The armor-piercing shells flew extremely fast, and it took less than half a second for the two shells to complete their flight, hitting the turret of the XM1 hard.

Boom –

The reactive armor that Otowa had just attached to them immediately took effect, and the violent explosion caused great damage to the core of the armor-piercing projectile, turning it into a piece of scrap metal in an instant.

The second shell hit the same area, but there was no reactive armor to protect it.

The tactic of the opposite side is not complicated, i.e. deceive the reactive armor with one shell, and then use another shell to deliver the final kill.

Knock –

There was a dull crash of armor in front of Otowa as the vehicle shook slightly.

"It's a good fit, but it's a pity that the shells are a little worse. Otoha shook his head with some regret.

Although everyone is a 105mm gun, there is no black technology such as depleted uranium bullets on the other side, and it is still M728 ammunition from the 70s, which is much worse than Otowa and their M774.

Just as Otowa was about to make a second attack, the enemy tank in the scope suddenly disappeared, replaced by a white cloud of smoke.

"Smoke...... But it didn't work. ”

Otowa sighed, then gently pulled the trigger.

In the midst of a deafening explosion, a slender bullet core pierced through the smoke at a high speed, hitting the enemy vehicle hiding inside.

What's the use of smoke bombs, Otowa doesn't aim with his eyes, and the smoke ultimately blocks only his own vision on the other side.

"Next words......"

The turret of the combat vehicle rotated again, and soon pointed to another position in the smoke.

……

Just when Otowa's side was blatantly hanging, the commentary outside the venue also began to "whitewash" her.

"Obviously the smoke bomb has been released on the other side, why can the gun still be able to hit every hundred shots?" The red-haired girl tilted her head, and then said with some puzzlement: "How did she do it, did it rely on memory?"

The smoke has gradually dissipated on the screen, and two destroyed AMX30B2 appear in front of the audience.

"Hmm. The blue-haired girl nodded. "She must have written down the last location of the enemy and attacked according to the location she remembered. ”

"If that's the case, the strength of the gun is really terrifying......"

"With the best equipment and the best handling, they are definitely a group of dark horses in the final. ”

The blue-haired girl manipulated the panel in front of her while expressing her opinion to the audience.

……

"Be careful, we're in the finals. ”

Otowa carefully folded the map in his hand, then tucked it back under her skirt.

Thanks to the 1,500 hp Zenith gas turbines, the XM1 was not usually fast, and they maintained more than 70 km/h almost the entire time, which is why they made it to the finals so early.

"Oh yes. ”

As if sensing something, Otowa's eyes suddenly lit up.

"What's wrong?"

Mika tilted her head, then looked at Otowa with a puzzled look.

"I have to say that it is really fate to meet acquaintances here. ”

Otoha took a deep breath before he spoke with some emotion.

"Huh?"

"It's Senior Sister Maki, she should have sensed my existence too, wait......"

At this moment, Otowa's expression suddenly became strange.

In addition to Maki Matsumoto, Otowa also sensed another familiar presence on that chariot.

"It's that brunette. ”

Without waiting for Otowa to say anything, Chizuru, who was sitting in the driver's seat, spoke in advance.

Although Chizuru no longer has the Force, she also has a unique detection method, and can sense a lot of things like Otowa.

"Yes...... Umemura-san?"

Mika hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

"What is this guy doing here, is he here to be a thug for others?

After the last goodbye, Otowa hasn't seen Himeko again, and the two sides probably didn't expect that the next time they met, it would be like this.

With a soft sigh, Otowa stepped back from the gunner's position and operated the vehicle's radio station from the commander's seat.

Contestants cannot communicate through the Wargames Alliance's equipment, with the exception of the vehicle's own radio. As long as the frequency is right, you can communicate with whomever you want.

"Moses Moses, can you hear me?"

After adjusting the frequency slightly, Otoha spoke in the middle of the radio.

"I can't hear you, Otowaba-chan. ”

She didn't have to wait long before the familiar voice came back from the radio.

"Sure enough, it's you, Senior Sister Maji!"

"Damn, has it been discovered!"

Maki's voice was full of surprise, and it was almost as if it was real.
