Chapter 523: 'Independence' Battle (Part II)
The 57mm ZIS-4 gun, compared with other artillery, is mainly superior to his up to 73 times the diameter, but this high speed has little impact on firing HE shells, so many troops have a little criticism of it, in view of this trend, the Soviet army seems to have begun to develop a new generation of T-34 tanks.
Although it is true that HE is still used in attacks on enemy armoured forces on the battlefield, there are generally two types of use -
1. When the penetration depth of the main gun absolutely suppresses the enemy's armor and has a certain caliber at the same time
2. When the caliber of the main gun forms an absolute crushing force on the enemy's armor
Now, however, Andrey's situation clearly does not belong to either of the two, and their purpose is only to lure the enemy and create a false impression on them.
"Cut, what a useless guy." Igor saw a 38T tank that had been destroyed and stalled, and said disdainfully: "If there was a Christie hanging, it would be completely fine." ”
"Hey......" Andre said helplessly, "The practicality of that thing is average, and there are not a few car crews that really do that kind of thing." ”
"Oh, okay......" Igor was visibly dissatisfied after being dismissed by Andrei, but he didn't argue with Andrei, but continued to fiddle with his main gun.
Because Andrei asked them to perform a little exaggerated, the members of the 217 squad not only used HE on a large scale, but also put some water on the accuracy, and some shells that could be hit would also fly, plus those shells that were inaccurate, the losses suffered by the Austrian tank troops on the opposite side were even more minimal, and many tanks were only damaged by 57mm shells to some parts, and their combat effectiveness was quite complete.
"I can't stand it! Evacuate! ”
Seeing that the enemy was about to rush to the front, Andrei shouted over the radio in a contrived tone.
Suddenly. The entire 217 squad immediately completed the turn, and then immediately ran towards the forest behind the position, leaving the infantry standing in the position one by one, watching their backs gradually shrink......
Of course, at this time, it was only a moment to not do the right thing, and after that sentence, Andrei immediately resumed the tone of the commander and said: "After entering the forest, disperse immediately, Leonid, you and Xia Bing go to Boris and Bella to converge, and touch them from the right side of the position; Natalia, Oger. Let's go from the left! ”
"The whole team is not allowed to fire before the enemy until it is confirmed that the enemy has indeed spotted you." For the veteran players, Andre doesn't know how many times he has said these words, and now this sentence is just for the two newcomers......
"Area security!" Leonid on the other side sent back the communication to Andrei, and the same was true on his side, which also meant that his tactics were half successful. On the other hand, the current Soviet positions have been torn by the Austrian troops several times, and it is estimated that in less than two minutes, the Austrian troops will be able to complete the division of them. When the time comes, if you want to turn the tables, there is no way to do it without sufficient troops.
"Take care of the back first, and play steadily." Andrei whispered, but he immediately remembered something. He immediately added: "Before firing the cannon, take out all the HE in the barrel of the cannon, I don't want to be blind to the precious first round of fire." ”
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The 217 group, located in the dense forests on both sides of the position, delivered an indiscriminate strike at the Austrian tank unit in the center at the same time as ordered by Andrei. However, due to the distance, and the design location is not particularly good. So the hit rate is not high, but ......
"Bell!"
"Boom!"
Even so, two Austrian tanks were killed in the first round of fire. And the Austrian troops, who were indulging in the joy of the imminent victory, were not at all aware of this! That's enough for Andrei to send them back to their hometown!
"Second Round...... открыли-огонь! ”
The threat that was completely imperceptible once again attacked the Austrian troops, although the accuracy was still very average, but the results were really expanded again, and at this time, the Austrian troops realized that they were being ambushed, as for who the enemy was, it was not clear!
"They've noticed it......," Andrei said with a smile, "The whole team is free to strike, choose the most suitable target and fire, but only attack enemy tanks." ”
As long as Andrei had not made a move, the Austrian troops could have done the battle in ten minutes, but now the ambush of the 217 squad posed a great threat to their tank forces. However, to be honest, as long as the Austrian troops can still stabilize their positions now, let the tank troops withstand the pressure caused by Andrei and them, and continue to cover the infantry, they can completely force this position, and even if Andrei has the ability to do it, he will not be able to deal with the infantry hiding in the position without calling for reinforcements.
However, this is only a theoretical situation, and now the Austrians are completely unaware of Andrei's location and configuration, so they have overestimated them, and even Andrei can't budget for such an estimate.
"Go on! Raise the rate of fire! André was huddled in a corner of the turret, clutching the microphone tightly and shouting inside.
Perhaps in order to increase the rate of fire, Andrey and their accuracy were lower, but the deterrent effect was greater - it was no joke to shoot shells past him, and those that hit the tank but did not penetrate could also scare the members of the car half to death. However, they haven't even judged Andrey's approximate location yet!
It's not surprising, and there's a reason why Andrei and they're now in the depths of the jungle. In fact, for an ambush, this position is indeed a bit far, and it will have a great impact on the accuracy of the ambush, but Andrei is not a fool, since he has paid such a big price, he can't do it without the corresponding results.
As for the result, it is concealment, in fact, it is generally enough for the tank to be located in the woods, but Andrei does not think so, he thinks that it is an excellent position only if it is not exposed after firing, and now, because of this, the Austrian troops cannot even see the smoke produced after they fire! This also means that they can only stand still and be beaten now! (To be continued.) )
