Chapter 490: The Force
The night in this small town has been very quiet, but tonight has changed.
The sound of the engine working resounded throughout the town, and if you listened closely, you could still hear the squeak of the wheels turning between the buildings.
"Haven't you spotted the enemy yet? It can't be that you haven't attacked?"
"You give me a moment of silence!"
Himeko turned her head and glared directly at Otoha.
She was looking around through the infrared night vision device in front of her, but until just now, Himeko hadn't been able to see anything from the infrared light path.
"Don't be nervous. ”
Looking at Himeko's somewhat flustered look, Otowa smiled and spoke.
After all, this is also the first time that Himeko has commanded a night battle, and it is impossible to say that she is not nervous.
Most of the games rely on ratings to recoup their costs and make money, so the time is generally limited to daytime, and it is rare to see this kind of big night battle in a war game.
"Shut up!"
was debunked by Otowa in person, and Himeko was also a little ashamed.
"Okay, okay, isn't it...... Wait for the situation, pay attention to the direction of three o'clock, quickly!"
Otowa stopped in the middle of his words, as if he suddenly sensed something.
Without waiting for Himeko to say anything, Otowa spun the turret and aimed the muzzle at the position she had just said.
Along with the turret, it is not only the barrel of the vehicle that rotates, but also the infrared device on the vehicle.
Soon, several bright spots gradually appeared in the center of the periscope.
There are no bright spots in the night vision goggles for no reason, so they could only be the infrared headlights on enemy vehicles.
"It's ...... Everyone, pay attention to the direction of three o'clock and get ready for battle!"
Himeko reacted quickly and immediately gave the order she thought was the most suitable.
While the body was still slowly spinning, Otowa had already fired a cannonball.
Knock –
A moving Leopard 1 was hit by a shell on the body, and the reactive armor on the combat vehicle immediately worked.
What Otofa fired was an APSFDS, that is, a tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing projectile. Although the tungsten core was slowed down by the explosion and even a small part of the projectile body was blown off, the remaining part of the core still penetrated the armor of the Leopard 1.
Explosive reactive armor is not an invincible gold medal for avoiding death, this thing is very effective against chemical warheads, but it is greatly reduced against kinetic warheads like APFSDS.
Although the ERA given by the organizer is a high-end product similar to the Contact-5, it can only reduce the power of kinetic energy shells, and if you want to block the shells, you need to have a strong tank foundation.
The Leopard 1's 70mm upper armor is obviously a bit insufficient, even ERA can't save it, and there is a reason why the Germans didn't modify this thing in history.
Then again, the Leopard 1 seems to weigh more than four tons more than the T-62...... Sure enough, I'm the world's first in the world in terms of tonnage waste.
The damaged core shattered as soon as it pierced through the armor, and flew towards the members of the interior with the armor that had been shattered during the breakthrough.
I don't know if it was the intuition of the Force warriors or a chance coincidence, but the position of the incident of the cannonball was exactly the center of the head of the chariot, and the girl who took a car directly after penetration.
"Sneak attacked?"
Suddenly, a chariot was shot, and Nora was also startled.
"Watch out for 10 o'clock, the enemy is there!" Erica paused for a moment before continuing, "Get your leopards down, our M60 is better suited for this kind of frontal combat." ”
"Okay, let's see if we can go around their side. ”
After making a decision, the girls of this team immediately took action.
All five M60s turned in the direction of the shells, and the remaining four Leopard 1s accelerated.
It's not just the other side who is frightened, Himeko is no better now.
"This silhouette ...... It's the M60! Is there more than one wing on the other side?"
The picture shown on the night vision device is definitely not as clear as during the day, but it is enough to just confirm the outline.
There was more than one Leopard 1 on the opposite side during the day, and now there are five more M60s here, how could Himeko not know what was going on.
"Did you meet an enemy there?" said Wallis's voice over the radio.
"Well, there were a lot of enemies, obviously more than one team. ”
"Received, you hold on first, and we will rush over to support immediately. ”
Boom –
Just when Himeko and Wallis were in contact, the artillery battle had already begun.
The vehicles on both sides began to throw bricks at each other, but the battle was at a stalemate due to the fact that both sides were attached to the ERA and their own armor was still in the past.
"One of them left, as if trying to get behind us. Himeko took a deep breath and continued: "We can't sit still, charge, and fight these M60s in hand-to-hand combat!"
After giving the order, Himeko once again focused her gaze on Otowa.
"With 300 metres of parking, I should be able to hit their weak spots. ”
Perhaps feeling the sight of his childhood sweetheart, Otoha spoke slowly.
The night doesn't really have that much effect on Otoba, after all, she usually aims more by the Force, and this ability doesn't seem to be affected by the environment.
Four T-62s charged the enemy, but one of them appeared to stop halfway through.
Teamwork matters...... Even if your teammates are sacrificed, as long as Otowa can do damage, it's worth it.
Although Erica noticed that a tank was left behind on the opposite side, she didn't pay much attention to it, and instead focused her attention on the three T-62s thrown at the charge.
Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was not paying attention to them, Otowa immediately began to aim, aiming the center of the aiming ring at an M60.
The 115mm smoothbore gun fired shells at a very fast speed, almost anywhere at a distance of 300 meters. As long as the strength is enough, it can be used to snipe the enemy.
Boom –
Another shell left the muzzle and flew straight for an M60 in the distance.
This time, instead of using a tail stabilized armor-piercing projectile, Otowa replaced it with a tail-stabilized armor-piercing projectile with a better after-effect.
As in the last assault on the M60, the shell hit the turret mount, which was not protected by reactive armor.
The high-temperature and high-speed metal jets instantly pierced the armor and burrowed into the turret of the M60.
Boom –
The turret roof of this M60 was lifted, and a pillar of fire instantly rose into the sky, directly illuminating the entire battlefield.
A metal jet above 900°C that hits either ammunition or fuel can be catastrophic, and it is almost impossible for the crew to survive in such a situation.
"It's ......"
After seeing the miserable appearance of her chariot, Erica was also shocked.
This tank is protected by reactive armor, and it was okay to be beaten for so long just now, why was it suddenly exploded?
