Chapter 376: Three-Point Formula (I)
"The firepower is too strong to fight hard." After observing with a telescope for half a day, Trode confirmed this conclusion.
Amphitri on the side thought for a moment, then said to Trode: "Why don't we call in fire support, sweep away some enemies first, and then we should be able to push forward under the cover of smoke." ”
However, Trode rejected her without thinking about it: "It's no play, if you reach this amount, even if you call for rear fire support, it will be a drop in the bucket, and this will waste our fire support times in vain." ”
The so-called number of fire support is a value that the 47th Division temporarily allocated to its subordinate squads in this operation. In order to be able to use the precious fire support in the best position, all A-level and above squads have two chances to call for fire support, and the squads below A-level have all been used as subsidiary squads of A-level and above squads, so the number of times will not be allocated, except for the extremely special situation, this number of times cannot be replenished until the end of the battle. And Trood they haven't used fire support once, which is also a hole card they keep that is not mysterious.
Although Trode knew that even if he had such a thing as the number of fire supports, it would not be possible to increase it, and it would be a pity if he did not use it all in this battle, but the current situation is that the two sides have just entered the scorching searing, and if they use it rashly at this time, they don't know how the rest of the time will pass.
"No way, let's go around......" was in desperation, Trode had to divide his troops, leaving Vincent and Leona to lead a large army to sit here in case of the enemy's counterattack, and he and Alicia led two squads to attack from the left and right sides, trying to break through the enemy's defenses with a combined encirclement.
Once the grouping was decided, everyone immediately began to act. The first to bear the brunt is Trode's team, since it is a large-scale urban war, no street is truly safe, and the street where Trode is now is whether it is open or secret. There are a lot of enemies, but compared to the absolute firepower of the front, this side can still find a way to break through.
To Trood's surprise, just as he was leading his squad into the street, the first thing he encountered was a frontal onslaught from enemy tanks. For him, who hadn't fought a serious urban battle for a while, this situation really made him panic, but in the face of this situation, the most basic orders were no longer conveyed by Trod, not only his own tanks, but also Amphitri's tank destroyers on the side were immediately put on a posture to meet the attack. Continuously fire at enemy vehicles.
Trood looked at the enemy in front of him with some confusion and said, "These guys ...... Crazy? However, just as he was wondering, there was a sudden loud noise from the turret.
"Bell!"
It was harsh, but since it wasn't the first time he had heard such a sound, Trood was able to tell in an instant what was causing the sound—ricochet! However, the enemy in front of him has been staring at him, although they have been firing at him, but he has seen the landing point of almost every shell, but none of them can hit the turret and produce a ricochet effect, Trood, who realized this, immediately turned his head to look......
“……!”
The severity of the situation directly made him gasp, although he was prepared. But when it was confirmed, he couldn't help but be shocked by this scene - there were too many enemies.
"Yorkson, reverse and lean against Amphitri with the tail of the car!" That's it. The enemy was already pressed up, and it was completely impossible to retreat to the street just now, so Trod immediately came up with a back-to-back move to try to counter the onslaught of the enemy, although there was still no protection behind his turret. However, it is much better than two vehicles to directly flank the enemy in front and rear. Luckily, the infantry had already rushed into the street with them, although they couldn't do much damage to the enemy tanks. But it is also possible to effectively suppress the enemy's infantry, which is quite enough.
Of course, it is said that the infantry is not a big threat to the tank, but it is not that there is no threat to them, because the needs of this battle have long been considered, and a small number of friendly infantry have been issued anti-tank guns, including the Sorotong S18-1000 anti-tank rifle and PzB38 anti-tank gun.
First of all, let's talk about the PzB38 anti-tank gun, the caliber of 7.92mm may not be good for the current mainstream tank armor level, even if it is ambushed from the side, it cannot achieve results like the rudimentary PTRD-41 of the Soviet army, although the development time is indeed a little long, but this does not offset the essence of his not an excellent weapon.
In addition, the Sorotong S18-1000, which was developed later than the PzB38, has greatly strengthened the caliber and expanded it to 20mm, but its weight has reached an astonishing 44Kg, which is no longer the level that infantry can carry casually to fight guerrilla warfare with tanks or ambushes. It is the same 20mm anti-tank gun as PTRD-41, not to mention the weakness in terms of weight, although it has obvious advantages in terms of gun length and recoil, but this advantage is exchanged for bullet muzzle velocity, so the penetration depth of Sorotong S18-1000 is not as good as the seemingly extremely simple PTRD-41, and even in the case of consistent workmanship, its accuracy will not be better than PTRD-41.
Moreover, there are several points that these two weapons must not be on the same level compared to the PTRD-41 - cost and durability. First of all, although the PTRD-41 was developed by the Soviet side, which has always been not very serious, its rudimentary design is well adapted to extremely short weather and environment, in addition, the structure is simple and easy to produce, not to mention the cost. However, whether it is the PzB38 or the Sorotong S18-1000, they have inherited a bad problem of German equipment, and the high cost is in exchange for a complex and unreliable structure, and it is easy to have problems on the battlefield that are difficult to repair due to some small circumstances, so it is not as popular with the infantry as the PTRD-41 on the Soviet side.
However, at this time, the enemy can't control so much, as long as it is an effective weapon, it should be used to hit the enemy in the face. (To be continued.) )
