Chapter 43: Fighting the Tank
Leaving behind the two stupid teammates, Chen Ming turned around and ran the way he came.
The anger and depression that have accumulated these days have been much better after this round of venting, at least there is no illusion that people who are under pressure cannot breathe.
Following the passage, he ran all the way back to the bridge, and as soon as he returned to the ground, he understood the reason why Roy told him to hurry back to help.
The Nakagawa division on the opposite side should have received the news of the defeat of the few people under the bridge, and at this time, not only the two fortress guns that had not moved for a long time began to bombard, but the Nakagawa division even took out more than a dozen grenadiers.
The grenadiers and the fortress cannons, in unison, blew up the bridgehead position, and although Roy had tried his best to get rid of the enemy's grenadiers, there were still very few on the position that could return fire.
The Nakagawa Division on the opposite side took advantage of this great opportunity to directly drive out two tanks, an early model of the Soviet T-34, which seemed to be an installed 76.2 mm short-barreled gun, I don't know where it came from.
The other is a bit more powerful, the British-made Churchill I infantry tank, a 40mm main gun with a 76.2mm short-barreled howitzer configuration, which can be called a bunker killer.
Roy's team's biggest weakness is that they are severely lacking in heavy firepower, and it is good to only fight trench warfare and infantry hedges, but if the opponent has heavy vehicles or tanks involved in the battle, it is useless.
The last time I met the Nakagawa Division, it was also defeated because the other side got on the tank.
The scene that Chen Ming saw after he came out was that the other party was suppressed by heavy artillery and grenadiers, and the two tanks were only more than 50 meters away from the nearest bunker, and dozens of soldiers following behind the tanks had already begun to prepare to charge.
The situation is extremely urgent!
Chen Ming didn't ask Roy about the situation again, and ran wildly towards the sniper spot he had chosen before in the rain of bullets, and now he only prayed that the sniper on the other side would not target him.
A bullet flew behind Chen Ming with a whoosh, almost grazing his body, if it didn't feel right, and turned on the skills on his shoes, Chen Ming would have been killed this time.
And this bullet also let him know that he was being targeted!
"Roy! Sniper! ”
Chen Ming shouted as he rushed.
The other party knows the configuration of his dual snipers, and it is unlikely that he will still stay in place, but let Roy give some pressure, it won't take too long, more than ten seconds!
"Roger!"
Roy's voice came from the communicator, which made Chen Ming feel a little relieved.
Don't dare to look back, just try to change your running speed so that the opponent's sniper won't lock on to you so easily.
There are still three or four meters, and you can enter the covered area, but at this time, Chen Ming's heart suddenly had a bad feeling, after life and death, he immediately knew that he was in danger, and it was not because of that sniper.
I didn't dare to think about it at the moment, and with the power of running, I flew directly in the predetermined direction.
People are in the air, and when they glance out of the corner of their eyes, they shout bad luck in their hearts.
A grenade, smoking and spinning, was flying in its direction.
Chen Ming had no choice but to close his eyes and pray to every god and Buddha he knew, but before he could even think of the name of the first one, the grenade hit Chen Ming behind.
"Boom!"
The flames of the explosion flashed away, and the landing point was at least 5 meters away from Chen Ming, but the shrapnel that was shattered and flying everywhere would not let go of everything within the killing range.
Chen Ming only had time to shrink his body when he felt a strong push from behind, directly causing him to fly out at a speed that was thirty percent faster.
On my legs and body, I felt numb in a few places, and I knew that I was hanging the lottery, but I didn't seem to have been blown up by a cannon.
As soon as he landed, the force of the push did not disappear, Chen Ming was like a tire that had been pushed on the ground, and he rolled forward for more than two meters before he hit a tree and stopped.
Seeing that he was not killed, Chen Ming immediately lay on the spot, and after equipping the Geely suit that he had taken off because of the fight, he went to check the system news.
System Tip: You are hit by a 76.2mm howitzer and take 17 damage (100 absorbed.) )
System Tip: You were hit by shrapnel and took 30 damage.
System Prompt: Your Skill: The Majesty of a Mid-Level Officer goes on cooldown, and the cooldown is completed after 3 hours.
Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief and felt fortunate at the same time, if he hadn't been promoted to major, this time he would have died a certain death.
When he was checking, Roy ran over, and when he saw that Chen Ming was just injured and didn't hang up, he was also very happy, so he ran over and took out a first-aid kit, and made up for half of Chen Ming's lost life in a few clicks.
"Don't you have tanks? If you don't have a tank, you can get two anti-tank guns! Chen Ming looked at Roy angrily as he set up TAC.
"Isn't there no money!" Roy was also depressed.
Chen Ming knew that it was not time to quarrel, so he shouted loudly: "Go!" Look at the point sniper! I'll kill them. ”
Chen Ming said as he locked onto the T-34 in the sniper scope.
Chen Ming has only seen this original model of T-34 once in the Kubinka Tank Museum in Russia, but it should be similar in structure to the previous generation of T-32 and the later T-34.
Place an armor-piercing bullet on top. Into the chamber, Chen Ming did not dare to use armor-piercing high-explosive shells, although the armor of this tank is not thick, but the design concept is very advanced, and the ricochet rate brought by the large inclination angle is not over.
Looking at the tank that was spewing flames and rampage forward, Chen Ming aimed at the driver's position in front of the left side of the hull, and fired it out with one shot, and he had to delay the tank's advance first.
"Bang!"
The sniper rifle used for counter-materiel did not disappoint Chen Ming, and his top-notch sniping skills would not embarrass him.
The armor-piercing projectile flew over a distance of several hundred meters, accurately hitting the small observation hole in front of the pilot, opening a thumb-thick hole in the weak observation window armor.
The T-34 drove forward by inertia for a meter or two, and then stopped in the middle of the road, so far away, Chen Ming seemed to hear the click between the gears.
The sudden cross-cutting of the tank made the soldiers who followed behind stunned, and the people in the team did not let go of this good opportunity, and there was a burst of random gunfire, and the four or five people who had no time to dodge in the future were smashed into pieces.
Chen Ming didn't care about these things, and quickly put on another armor-piercing high-explosive bomb.
The death of the driver only makes the tank temporarily incapacitated, but it will not make the tank's attack power discount at all, through the sniper scope, you can already see that the turret is beginning to turn, as long as you turn the muzzle, this is still a steel monster that harvests life.
"Bang!"
Another shot was fired, and the armor-piercing high-explosive shell penetrated slightly less, but the side of the turret with weak armor and a small inclination angle was just right.
The tiny projectile, representing decades of progress in the science of killing, swirled bullets directly into the side of the tank's turret, where a pair of sun flags were sprayed with paint, and the bullet punched a hole in the red center, as if hitting the bull's-eye.
In just a moment, the turret's steering stopped, and after another moment, puffs of green smoke rose from the gaps in the tank's poorly sealed seals, and it was clear that there was already a sea of fire inside.
Chen Ming fired two shots, and immediately squirmed and changed positions, he didn't want to be pressed in place by Churchill I's two guns, not to mention that there was a sniper watching from the side.
Changing the sniper position, Chen Ming poked his head out cautiously again, he was thinking about how to knock out the Churchill Type I, this guy is a model of rough skin and thick flesh, TAC really may not be able to penetrate his armor.
But when he poked his head out to observe, he found that the Churchill I had retreated.
Chen Ming was a little puzzled, although this tank was not as fast as the T-34, it was only more than 70 meters away from the position, and there was a great chance that it would be able to break through the bunker.
As a result, the conspiracy did not wait, but waited for two news, the first news was shouted by the team members, and the German soldiers finally killed the two fortress guns. And the second news is from Roy's side, he knocked out the sniper of the Nakagawa Division in one time!
Hearing this, Chen Ming was also relieved, without the two fortress guns, the firepower on the position could not be suppressed by only one tank.
And without snipers, he, who can threaten local tanks, will be even more unscrupulous.
Instead of folding the tank here in vain, it is better to plan well for the next attack.
Looking at the Churchill I that was slowly reversing, Chen Ming decided to give it a try, now the biggest threat to him is this tank, if the tank can be left, the follow-up defense is basically foolproof.
The sniper scope was attached to the slightly bulky and boxy hull of the Churchill I, and an armor-piercing round was ready to fire.
After carefully aiming at it for a long time, he also went through the weaknesses of this tank in his mind, and then, Chen Ming fired a shot!
It's a pity that the result of this shot is not much different from what Chen Ming expected, the armor-piercing bullet only made a small depression in the front face of the tank, and with a flash of sparks, I don't know where it was flew.
Just as Chen Ming was considering whether to try it with a depleted uranium armor-piercing shell, he saw a flash of fire from the main gun of the tank, and a shell fell more than ten meters to his right, and the dirt, sand and gravel raised by the explosion crackled on the surrounding trees.
Chen Ming, who knew that he had been exposed, sighed, gave up his intention to continue the attack, and began to shift his position.
By the time they had chosen their positions again and looked outside, the tanks had already retreated under the cover of a rain of bullets.
For Chen Ming, it was a very disappointing thing not to kill this Iron King Ba, but for the person opposite, it was obviously different from what Chen Ming thought.
"Baga! Actually lost a tank and didn't take down those rudimentary bunkers! This is unforgivable! The commander of the Nakagawa Division, Heishiro Nakagawa, cursed loudly as he rubbed against the pitted armor of the Churchill I.
"Hello!" All the people standing around bowed their heads and confessed their mistakes.
"The war here is so realistic, Dadong. The dream of the sub-co-prosperity circle! But you waste, you can't attack a small bridgehead! As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on an inch-deep pit in the tank's frontal armor.
"Hello! Please calm your anger! An officer who looked like a leader stepped forward: "I have an idea, why don't we go and intercept the 18th Corps, they can't get backup, so they can only be crucified here, and we will use the Belgian army to consume, then..."
Probing his finger into the pit, Nakagawa Heishiro said calmly: "You can do it your way...", looking back at the group of subordinates: "This time I will personally take someone there!" ”
