Chapter 57: Scattered Tanks
However, the KV-1E is not without shortcomings, first of all, the 76mm L-11 gun, which is only 31 times the caliber, is very chicken, and it is difficult to penetrate the 80mm front armor of the IV H type. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, the turret of the IV H is still 50mm, and it can still be fired at close range.
The second issue is mobility, but this battle is destined to be tough in the city, and this problem is not too prominent.
In terms of Zhongtan, Oarai also chose the IV H type, after all, this thing is probably the strongest 4.3 Zhongtan.
The 80mm front armor is quite thick, and it is reasonable to say that there is skirt armor protection on the side, and the 7.5cm KwK.40L/48 gun is not difficult to fight in this class except for the KV-1E, and the speed of 40km/h is decent.
On the tank destroyer side is the British Achilles, which is an improved version of the American M10 Wolverine, and is equipped with a more powerful 17-pounder gun.
With APDS (Shell Piercing Bullets), this thing can even pierce the King Tiger head-on.
Although it is estimated that it will be all IV Type H on the opposite side, it is a bit like killing chickens with a knife with a 17-pounder gun, but just in case the armor department still brought four vehicles.
However, since it is modified from the Wolverine, Achilles naturally inherited the embarrassment that the Wolverine does not have a turret motor, and it takes about 100 seconds for the turret to rotate 180°, and Sherman, who can rotate a circle in 10 seconds, is not a mother.
The configuration of the armored department can be said to be quite decent, after all, the army is not like the air force, which can play so many tricks.
The players from both sides quickly boarded their vehicles and waited for the referee to announce the start of the game.
This is the first time Izumi Otoha has participated in such an official competition, and she is still a little excited when she thinks of it.
"Game on!"
With so many people watching the live broadcast, it was naturally impossible for the referee to drag down the rhythm, and soon announced the start of the game.
The fighters on the side of the Ministry of Aviation were already in position at the airport, and immediately started their engines after receiving the referee's order.
The first to take off were four IL-2M3s, followed by Izumi Otoha and others who escorted the escort.
Otowa is not dissatisfied with the escort mission, as long as the attack aircraft licks the ground successfully, their score is indispensable. What's more, Otowa drove the Yak-9T this time, and when the time comes, he can touch a few tanks with the Socialist Star Destroyer Cannon.
In order to lick the ground, Otowa brought armor-piercing bullets this time. Although the effect is not as good as that of high-explosive bombs in air combat, it can still be used if it is aimed well.
Even if it is an armor-piercing bullet, it is still charged, not a solid iron bullet.
"I'm Fengzi, our squad has taken off and is now rushing to the enemy convoy. ”
After all eight fighters of the Ground Licking Force took off, Kazeko Uehara immediately spoke on the radio.
"Yes, if you encounter an enemy that you can't handle, remember to run away immediately and call for support at the same time. ”
Although Betty's words are good, Otowa also knows that Jacques Spitfire can't outrun BF109 and FW190 at all, and it can only GG if it is really wrapped.
At that time, you can only try to consume the energy of the opposite side and create opportunities for the teammates who come from behind.
On the other side, the tanks of the armored department also set off at the same time.
“Pz.IVRushB,NoStop!”
"Minister, be normal!"
"What's the matter, the game, just be happy~"
"It's the final, hey!"
With such an off-line minister, Himeko is also quite a headache.
Due to the stupid black and thick combat vehicle like the KV-1E, the speed on the side of the armored department could not be fast at all. But Oarai doesn't care about this, after all, the game is not won by whoever arrives in the city first.
......
I have to say that Otowa and their luck is really good, today's cloud cover is very low, about 3000 meters, which means that the enemy is basically above the clouds.
After all, whether it is BF109G-2 or FW190A-4, it is quite a loss to fight with Maozi's low-altitude perpetual motion machine dog at three thousand meters, and the enemy will never be stupid enough to take the initiative to give up the altitude advantage.
Under the cover of the clouds, the ground-licking troops flying close to the ground neither discovered nor were discovered by the enemy, and arrived at the enemy's hinterland all the way without incident.
The search for enemies is not difficult, after all, there is only one way to the city, and as long as you fly along this road, you will always find the enemy.
"Participating in the competition for the first time, is Mika nervous?"
The search for enemies was quite boring, so Otowa connected to the communication with Mika.
"Sort of. ”
Mika smiled shyly.
"Don't worry, as long as you show the strength you played in the previous practice, you will definitely be able to shine in this game!"
In the past three weeks, Otoha has taught Mei Xiang a lot, and Mei Xiang has also studied very hard, flying almost 200 hours in three weeks, and she has also improved a lot in her technique.
Just when Otowa was about to say something to Mika, Kazeko's voice suddenly interjected.
"Watch the direction of three o'clock! The enemy convoy has appeared, ready to fight!"
Otowa immediately looked in the direction of three o'clock, and sure enough, he saw the convoy on the opposite side.
The configuration on the opposite side is the same as Otowa's guess, and most of them are IV H type.
"Here is Kazeko Uehara, where enemy ground forces were found, 12 vehicles of the IV Type H, 4 vehicles of Big Max, and 4 vehicles of the Whirlwind. ”
Fengzi can be the captain of the team, naturally there is something unique, Otowa is still counting here, and he has already reported the lineup on the opposite side.
"Received, attack immediately~" Betty paused, and then continued: "Return to the airport to resupply as soon as the attack is over, maybe there will be a chance to blow up another wave." ”
"We'll blow them up~"
Fengzi is also full of confidence, after all, there is no difficulty in bombing the convoy at all.
When they found the other side in Otowa and the others, they naturally found them on the other side.
Seeing the IL-2, the opposite side naturally thought of the PTAB, so the evacuation immediately began.
To be able to enter the finals, the opposite side must also have some strength. The tanks scattered very well, and none of the 20 tanks ran in the same direction.
In the face of the IL-2, a carpet-bombing attack aircraft, scattered tanks are the basic skills, otherwise a wave will be heavy.
"The fighter is responsible for suppressing the air defense vehicle, the attack aircraft is free to chase and kill the tank on the opposite side, don't skimp on shells, hit me hard!"
Although the tanks on the opposite side are scattered well, Fengzi is also a face-saving person.
Although the Whirlwind's firepower is quite stronger than that of the Crusader AA, the turret is semi-open, and no armor is present on top.
While this allowed the gunners to better observe the presence of nearby aircraft, it also exposed them to enemy fire.
