Chapter 459: Embarrassing "Fury"

"We don't have any other machine gun bullets other than two boxes of 12.7mm bullets!" A maintenance worker, rummaging through the crew compartment several times, confirmed that the N3 was running out of ammunition.

When the "Nanora" armored repair vehicle pushed the three airport tractors to a distance of about 700 meters from the ring fortifications, the flying saucer head became the most protruding point in the formation of the traverser. The new Qing troops, who had been frantically pursuing and towing the convoy and trying to bypass the ring to attack the ring fortifications, turned their guns and fired desperately at the N3.

"Rub, who's going to go out and load that M2 with bullets?" Captain N3 shouted.

However, none of the other four people in the car responded to the shouts of the N3 commander, and now they could hear the clanging of bullets hitting the armor in the turret from time to time, and just now there was an unlucky guy who was shot in the thigh right under their noses, and no one dared to go out and reload the M2 heavy machine gun.

"With tank guns! Don't let the braids entangle those tractors anymore! Yu Hu said.

"The high-explosive and barrier-breaking shells are all used up, and there are only three armor-piercing shells left." The makeshift loader dealt another blow to the chest of the people in the saucer head, who no longer had the right anti-infantry ammunition.

"Grass mud horse, what do you mean by distributing armor-piercing shells to us in this era when only our own people have armored units!?" The commander of the N3 vehicle thought that this kind of armor-piercing shell with a hole in one shot had no deterrent effect on those Qing soldiers.

"What else can it be, I didn't hear the green paint district command center remind us not to accidentally hurt our allies, I guess what the 'director team' is holding back!" Said the makeshift gunner.

In fact, the N3 commander lacked sufficient knowledge of the opponent in front of him, as the saying goes: "Recruits are afraid of artillery", these mud legs who have only put down their hoes for a long time can not be considered high-explosive or armor-piercing shells fired from the barrel of your gun, as long as they hear the loud noise made when the 120mm smoothbore gun fires, they can be frightened by their hands and feet. After all, the high-bore pressure caused by the propellant from the 21st century is not comparable to the infantry artillery of the late 19th century.

"There are still more than twenty minutes, and we have to resist! All we have to do is be like the 'Sherman' tank in Fury, dragging the pigtails on the other side. If the pigtails get past us, the guys behind us who shoot their own people might die! Yu Hu was really worried that in the next twenty minutes or so, these maintenance workers would close the hatch and do nothing, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

"Can you believe the plot of the anti-German drama of "Fury"? Besides, that 'Sherman' has two machine guns in the tank, and if we want to reload that M2, we will have to expose the whole person to the guns! A maintenance worker who had watched "Fury" complained.

I don't know why the Israelis have this design of mounting the 12.7mm M2 heavy machine gun on the turret, although this machine gun is fired by remote control, but the person who changes the ammunition for it has to climb out of the turret! Yu Hu thought to himself.

To be reasonable, the Israeli designer is lying down for no reason. This Nima is a 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun, who is so blind and wasteful of ammunition like you! The original design was to attack lightly armored vehicles in densely populated areas and suppress enemy personnel hiding behind cover.

"N3, what the hell are you doing, keep the fire suppressed!" As soon as the ammunition on the side of the flying saucer head was saved, the pressure on the Z4 and the towing convoy began to be intensively fired by the Qing army again.

"Our machine guns are out of ammunition, what are we going to do to keep the fire suppressed?" The commander of the N3 went straight back in the face of Z4's questioning.

"I'll wipe it, you guys use cannons!" It is not entirely up to the Z4 crane to tow those airport tractors, and sometimes it is necessary to drill out of the crew compartment of the "Namira" armored repair vehicle to pad the sleepers, and the Z4 certainly hopes that the heavily armored flying saucer head can attract more enemy firepower.

"Our 120mm smoothbore gun only has armor-piercing shells, and now the body is stuck in a depression, and the main gun firing range is limited, and we can't do anything with those pigtails that shoot on their stomachs!" The captain of N3 replied.

"Your uncle, there is a 60mm mortar on the head of the flying saucer, and you told me that the firing range is limited!?" Z4 was about to run away when he heard the words of the N3 commander.

There is never the best tank in the world, and different combat missions have different requirements for tank performance. As the tank with the largest number of actual combat battles in the 21 st century, Israel's "Merkava" main battle tank has many strange designs that have become the slots in the mouths of military fans, but facts have proved that these designs are the most suitable for the combat needs of the Israeli army.

Some people will spray Israel for not being able to make excellent armor, so they will come up with a strange design of the front engine to increase the thickness of the front of the body, but they don't know that most of the "Merkava" does not have to face armored units that have the ability to penetrate the front of its hull, and the crew compartment space that can be freed up by the front engine is of greater significance to this country with a poor population. Metal chains with these counterweight balls are hung behind the saucer-head turret, designed to detonate anti-tank RPGs that fire at close range and penetrate armor with high-temperature metal jets.

Similar to the metal chains and turret-filled machine guns, the strange Israeli designs for street fighting are a 60mm mortar pressed on top of the turret of the Merkava main battle tank.

The commander and crew of the N3 are all decided by the maintenance workers by drawing a straw lot, and the maintenance workers have been in a state of fire engagement almost all the time since they were teleported, and the maintenance workers who operate the "Merkava" MK4 main battle tank can only improve the combat capability of the tank by taking the time to read the manual, and it is reasonable for them to forget that the flying saucer head still has a 60mm mortar on its head.

Compared to climbing the turret and putting the whole person under the guns of the Qing army to gamble on the character to reload the M2 heavy machine gun, it is much safer to operate the 60mm mortar buried behind the hatch on the top of the turret.

Bang, three minutes after the maintenance worker on the Z4 side suggested that there was still a mortar in the head of the flying saucer that could be used, the N3 finally fired a high-explosive bomb at the Qing army who were lying on their stomachs and shooting at a distance. The landing point of this high-explosive bomb unexpectedly smashed into the open ground, and the rookie relied on reading the manual to operate the mortar to achieve the first hit, which is not ordinarily difficult, even if this mortar is assisted by a vehicle-mounted fire control system.

However, the fire control computer quickly gave correction parameters based on the information collected by the observer about the landing point of the shell. Boom, the second high-explosive bomb fired by N3 exploded in the middle of several soldiers of the Qing Army New Army who were shooting in a lying position.

"Yay! One more shot, blow it up! We are 'furious' and no one can step over us! There are still about 20 high-explosive mortar shells in the N3 crew compartment, and Yu Hu is very sure that they will hold out until the "Osprey One" arrives.

"That steel monster of the Great Song people is shooting with a mortar cannon, you have to order your men to quickly lean in!" Lieutenant Henry said loudly to the new army commander beside him, it seems that the Great Powers have heard of the story of the footpot chicken being bloodied by the mortar of the crossing crowd.

In the history of the original time and space, during the Russo-Japanese War, after Maozi used naval mortars to attack the Japanese tunnels outside the cannon fire range, the mortar weapon slowly developed. In this time and space, although there are only light mortars in the hands of traversals, this does not prevent people of this era from understanding the attack methods of mortars through mortars that work the same way.

As soon as Lieutenant Henry heard the strange whistling sound from the air, he knew that the Great Song people had used the "mortar cannon" to attack, according to the research of French domestic weapons experts, it was a very cumbersome thing to adjust the firing angle of the bulky mortar cannon, so this foreign teaching gave the Qing army commander a suggestion to quickly move out of the attack range of the mortar cannon and finally enter the dead angle of the mortar gun, in his opinion, the speed at which the Great Song people adjusted the firing angle could not catch up with the footsteps of the soldiers.

However, the ensuing shelling disappointed the Gallic lieutenant, who took several lives with every shell he believed was fired from a mortar after the Qing soldiers ran. Modern mortars can quickly adjust the angle of fire by turning the pulley, which is incomparable to the bulky naval mortars of this era. As for the shooting blind spot that Lieutenant Henry was expecting, it did not exist, the minimum firing range of modern small mortars is generally about fifty meters, and it is a bit taken for granted to run into the so-called shooting blind spot with his legs.
