Chapter 721: Mobile Shooting
Although Hilde had a hard time destroying a Soviet self-propelled gun, Trode did not have time to applaud her. In addition to indicating the target to Nattel, he must also dispatch the team's fire coverage angle in a timely manner, and try not to leave gaps in the fire net, and to do this, it is impossible to do this without extraordinary insight and 120% attention.www.biquge.info
"Natle, hit the T-70 at eleven o'clock first." In the midst of the bombardment, Trood used the communication in the car to relay the command to the gunner Natel as clearly as possible, and the latter also began to adjust the angle of the main gun at the first time of the street order, lowering the barrel slightly, and targeting the T-70 light tank, which was relatively forward.
At other times, Trood would have prioritized the threat of attacking enemy targets, but this time, unlike in the past, he decisively chose tactics that focused on reducing the number of enemies. The T-34 medium tank of the Soviet army is much higher than the T-70 light tank in terms of firepower and armor, so it will be much more threatening. But this is only relative to the tank crews of Trood, in fact, for the infantry, the gap between a T-34 and a T-70 that broke into the interior of the position is not particularly large, and it is also quite a tricky target.
So for the sake of the bigger picture, it would be more effective to attack tanks that are easier to destroy. However, even so, the number of enemies is still a multiple of that of Trood, and it is simply an impossible task to drastically reduce the number of enemies in the first place.
However, in this kind of positional warfare, the German tanks used by the Trodes were still much cheaper than Andrey's Soviet-made tanks. The most obvious thing is that after the barrel is lowered, the German car will have a larger gun depression angle than the Soviet car, which will be more helpless when the German tank aims closer to the target when occupying the high ground. Moreover, when the barrel of the Soviet tank is downward, the stability is not as good as that of the German tank, so it will be much more difficult to aim than the Soviet car.
Trode was slightly relieved that Shield's Tiger had not been subjected to the enemy's intense fire as he had anticipated, even though none of the shells could theoretically penetrate the Tiger's frontal armor. But after all, there are five flesh and blood in the tank, even if the tank itself can withstand these artillery fires, through these steel plates, it is impossible for the internal members to be completely free from any damage, not to mention that there are still five weak female members in this tank.
As a matter of fact, if we think about it carefully, although this situation may occur, it will most likely appear in a team with low combat quality, such as the Northern Group Army, and for the Central Army, which has a lot of combat experience and has sufficient training time in peacetime, it is very difficult to make a low-level mistake like attacking such a symbolic target, the tiger-style. After all, even if a Tiger tank is destroyed at this time, it is likely that for the German troops who have decided to fight to the death, it will not hit their morale, but will provoke their anger and prompt them to resort to stronger means of resistance.
"It's okay...... The accuracy is not so accurate......" Trood muttered as he looked at the Su-76 self-propelled guns lined up in the distance. Around him, 76mm shells kept falling into the position, but the accuracy was not very good, and the power of the 76mm high-explosive grenade itself was limited, as long as it did not directly hit the target, it would not cause much damage.
Opposite to them was Hilde's Tiger, a heavy tank that was not technically much ahead of them, and that incorporated German technology at the time. Although the accuracy of the Tiger at this distance is not impressive, it is still much stronger than the Su-76, and after being hit by it, many Su-76s began to retreat. However, this kind of small retreat actually treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, and for the firing distance that has exceeded the three-mile range, it is actually a few hundred meters more, and the Tiger's hit rate will not be much worse.
Moreover, the time taken by them in their retreat did not stop the advance of the troops in front of them. That is to say, during this time period, the troops at the front did not feel the fire support of the troops in the rear. Many German troops can finally emerge from their bunkers and continue to suppress the fire of the Soviet troops, so even if they do not inflict too many casualties on the enemy's self-propelled guns, but delay their fire support, this is enough, after all, after fighting these troops in front, those self-propelled guns will definitely be difficult to support alone.
Although he had considered it several times, Tlord did not let Hilde stop his mission at the end of each time and attack the other troops. First of all, although the armor-piercing ability of the Tiger is superior among these tanks and artillery, in the current situation of wide-area engagement, one more 88mm gun actually does not improve the absolute advantage. Furthermore, letting them attack other targets will show the enemy that they lack firepower to face a frontal target, which must not be leaked. Even if the enemy has seen it, they must force it through, because as long as they maintain this state, the enemy will always have a trace of doubt, and it will be difficult to exert all their strength if they lack confidence in their hearts, and this is the result that Trode needs.
After talking about the Su-76, let's talk about these tanks that the enemy is charging. A large part of them are the early common models of the T-34 medium tank, and some are light tanks such as the T-70 or T-60, such as the BT series and T-26 tanks used by the Northern Army. It was a Trode, a powerful group of enemies they had never come into contact with.
But advanced is advanced, and the T-34 is really not too good in terms of performance in mobile shooting. In Hans's words, the best mobile shooting capability of these tanks is the American-made M4 tank that they suppressed in the North African theater, because it is equipped with artillery vertical stabilizers, so it is far superior to the No. 4 and T-34 in this ability.
