Chapter 1749: The U.S. Army Suffered a Fiasco

What kind of weapon is this, why is the force so big, there is no action, a large number of tanks have been killed, those who ignited the fire, will definitely not be able to save, the US military is very clear, this is through the fuel tank, the fuel tank of the US tank, a total of about 400 liters, although the attack, it is impossible to be fully loaded, but there is almost 7 percent of oil, close to 300 liters of fuel burned violently, under the premise of being completely ignited, the entire tank can not be saved at all, if the crew is a little slower, it really can't escape.

If the U.S. commander only noticed the torches that were lit at the beginning, but soon, other tanks lying on the ground were also noticed by the U.S. commander, because on the battlefield, the speed of the tank is his life, if the speed is lost, stop, it is easy to be attacked by the rear artillery fire, so unless something goes wrong, the tank is basically in a state of motion on the battlefield, and rarely stops.

Only a very small part of all tanks were hit in the fuel tank, but there were many people who lost their speed, more than 100 anti-aircraft machine guns, and in the first time, at least 300 tanks were hit, which is equivalent to half of the attack force has gone wrong.

Although it is said that those who are lying on their stomachs also moved, but soon, the opponent's attack appeared again, it seemed to be a small-caliber weapon, the speed was amazing, no sound was heard, but it had already hit the tank, with the help of telescopes, they could see the tank above, the hole was punched out, and the tank built of steel, in the face of such a weapon, was directly pierced like a paper paste, which the US military had never thought of.

They have been enjoying the pleasure of the crazy attack for a few days, but at this time, they got a slap in the head, this time the attack may really fail, and the US troops in charge of the front line quickly deduced some basic things of this weapon from the data in front of them.

It's not artillery, because there is not much around except for the attack on the tank itself, it's a weapon similar to a machine gun, or small-caliber artillery fire. This weapon, the rate of fire is extremely fast, and there is no movement, even the sound is very small, but the power is great, they are the closest place to the Japanese tank, are more than 600 meters, when, Japan actually mastered such a long-range weapon, it is a very light weapon, but the lethality of the tank is huge.

Why didn't they do it before, could it be that it was inconvenient to move, it was just arranged in the core area, this question hovered in the minds of the US officers, without knowing what was happening, nearly a thousand tanks, and a large number of infantry followed, the United States definitely could not take risks, they immediately sounded the horn of retreat, how much can they withdraw, how much can they withdraw.

The loud trumpet sounded at the front of the position, and when there was no radio communication device, the sound was the best communication facility, and the loud trumpet, penetrating the battlefield, quickly sent the signal down to the entire battlefield, and the remnants of the tanks began to turn, escorting the infantry to retreat.

The Americans' choice can not be said to be inappropriate, but they miscalculated the speed of the anti-aircraft machine gun, the rate of fire of the anti-aircraft machine gun, which is prepared for aircraft, no matter how fast the tank runs, it cannot catch up with the aircraft, even if it is an aircraft during the First World War, under the premise of increasing a certain amount of horsepower, it can also reach about 200 kilometers, this speed, I am afraid that in the 21st century, there is no main battle tank or light tank that can reach half of it, and the weapons specifically aimed at the aircraft are not at all that the tank can throw off.

This is the difference between an airplane and a tank, the weapon that can attack the aircraft, relying on the super speed and altitude, the rate of fire surpasses the general machine gun, the firing range is also very high, the attack on the air, the effective height is at least doubled when the anti-aircraft machine gun is fired horizontally, because the gravitational acceleration can be ignored, coupled with the ultra-high rate of fire, the final attack power is amazing.

American tanks are like this, basically all in the range of anti-aircraft machine guns, 120 anti-aircraft machine guns, about 800 tanks, an anti-aircraft machine gun can attack at most seven or eight only, and for anti-aircraft machine guns with a high rate of fire, there is no problem at all, even if it is a tank with 10 bullets, seven or eight shots, it will not take more than 2 minutes, the rate of fire of anti-aircraft machine guns, even if armor-piercing shells are used, can not play to the maximum speed, but it is not that these tanks can run away.

In two minutes, how far the tank can run, and how far it can run 1 kilometer, is already good, especially from the state of attack to the state of escape, which is wasted in the middle, and it is not a minute or two, the range of anti-aircraft machine guns is as high as more than 10 kilometers, even if it runs more than five or six kilometers, it is impossible to escape the range of targeting and attack of anti-aircraft machine guns.

In fact, the possibility of the tanks escaping has been reduced to the lowest, black smoke is rising from one tank after another, the infantry has lost the shelter of the tanks one by one, the defeat of the US army is decided, and the rest is the question of how much success the Japanese side has achieved.

Be smart, take advantage of the fact that the artillery fire on the opposite side has not yet covered, scatter your legs and run back, the wreckage of the tank, at least it can be covered, here is too close to the Japanese position, the distance of 1000 meters, is the distance that the machine gun can strafe, this is the most dangerous, if you can't escape this distance, they will be killed by the Japanese machine guns one by one.

However, when the tanks were destroyed in large numbers, the machine guns on the Japanese front line did not sound, it seems that the Japanese front line was also stunned by such an effect, in the past 7 days, the tanks gave them great pressure, this kind of special for war, in the army research out of the powerful weapon, like a heavy mountain, pressed in their hearts, but today, at the front of today's battlefield, as if it was a magic trick to be torn, close to 1000 tanks, so easy, on the front of the position, It's like a magical weapon.

In this way, it is not possible, China's advanced degree in materials science and weapons, the anti-aircraft machine guns produced, not to mention compared with World War II, even compared with later generations, not to mention the strength of armor-piercing bullets, his metal is far higher than ordinary weapons armor-piercing metal, basically holding the standard anti-aircraft machine gun in the seventies and eighties of the 20th century, to deal with tanks that are slightly higher than the grade of World War I, American tanks are at best higher than the primary tanks of World War I, but compared with those tanks in the early stage of World War II, But I don't know how much it is low, more than 60 years of generation, but it is not a magic effect, the muzzle velocity of 1000 meters per second, even if it hits the tank, the speed is more than the factor, the vast majority of the tank, without hearing any sound, not even reacting, was killed.

The Japanese front line, itself feels that it may be a bitter battle, and even will face huge sacrifices, although for the vast majority of officers, they know very well that at this moment, it is best to retreat, but the retreat has been vetoed by the base camp, and the base camp will not tell them that they are the Sakura Plan, this plan, at present, only the army commander, including Kawasaki Meijing, knows that there is such a plan, but does not know the specific way to realize this plan.

But today, the situation has changed abruptly, a weapon specifically aimed at tanks, like a roll call, one by one to kill the tanks, some of the smarter, understand that this is probably an advanced weapon against tanks, but such an advanced weapon, why didn't they take it out before, until they suffered heavy losses, in the past 7 days, at least a large number of positions, more than 200,000 Japanese troops lost, is it difficult, just for the suddenness of this weapon, there is such a weapon, why not take it out and use it.

Some officers couldn't think about it, especially in the previous battles, the officers who suffered huge losses, and they even began to complain about the high-level, which was also the fundamental reason why there was no movement on the front line, but the Japanese officers were also professional officers, and after the initial chaos, they began to control the ranks, no matter what, the battle still had to be fought, and they had to seize the opportunity to annihilate the American troops as much as possible.

After a short period of shock on the Japanese front, they began to make efforts, in the Japanese position, machine guns began to fire, all kinds of light and heavy weapons, regardless of the cost, poured towards the American army, tanks, the weapons that pose the greatest threat to the position, were knocked out, and the rest was the free play of their infantry, the range of machine guns was 1000 meters, except for the part of the direct rear of the tank, the rest could be attacked.

The Americans will not sit still, they are in an extreme disadvantage, and it is impossible to give up almost 70,000 US troops, and the tanks can no longer be rescued, but this part of the infantry can still be rescued, and the US troops have also begun to use long-range firepower to cover this side and reduce the density of Japanese firepower to help the US troops escape back.

Anti-aircraft machine guns, after killing the tanks one by one, stopped, although they did not fire much, each anti-aircraft machine gun also fired more than 50 armor-piercing bullets, these armor-piercing shells composed of high-hardness alloys, although powerful, but not the standard configuration of anti-aircraft machine guns, for the barrel damage is huge, you must know that such a hard armor-piercing bullet, at a speed of more than 1000 meters per second, from the chamber of the gun, the damage to the chamber is huge, according to the domestic destructive experiments, the original ordinary bullet, The life of the barrel of an anti-aircraft machine gun is about 80,000-90,000 rounds, but with this armor-piercing shell, the maximum is 4,000 rounds, which is equivalent to 20 other bullets, so after it was determined that the tanks had been killed one by one, these anti-aircraft machine guns stopped.

A battle, after the intervention of anti-aircraft machine guns, ended quickly, the Japanese side tried as hard as possible, but left 40,000 American troops and a few hundred taels of tanks, and the rest of the American troops scattered and fled. (To be continued.) )
