At this moment, Delved's mind turned very quickly, and he reacted in a short period of time, turned back to the adjutant who was following behind him, and asked decisively: "What about the artillery fire?" ”

"Unfolding!" The adjutant said in a low voice, as the adjutant of the commander of the armored forces, the young Biel is very clear about the armored force, almost after discovering the movement of the other party, he notified the strategic artillery fire as soon as possible, but unfortunately even if the strategic artillery fire was notified, the adjutant also knew that this was a bit futile, 10 kilometers away, the tanks that had been started, it was very difficult to hit them with long-range artillery fire, but at this moment, if this armored force was not used, what method would be used to deal with these tanks?

The reaction of the U.S. military can not be regarded as unfast, after the tank moved, it began to prepare, and even on the battlefield, the artillery fire has been on standby, different from the contraction and expansion in the march, it may be enough for tens of seconds, from the time the U.S. military found out, the Japanese side, has used the fastest speed to pour out the tank, the passage or something, are ready-made, the tank from the acceleration to the distance of tens of meters, and how much time can be used, from here to the front of the Japanese defense line, and even after arriving at the safety of the hill, At most, it is about 1 km, and how much time will it take for a tank to go at a speed of even 20 km, 3 minutes, which is already the limit of time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

That's right, even three minutes, 10 kilometers away artillery shells, may hit over, but it will also take a minute faster, that is to say, the US army may only have three rounds, or even two rounds of attack, and even most of the artillery fire has not been able to react, not every artillery can hit a distance of 10 kilometers, and not every artillery is in the standby time, when the order is issued, it will react at the first time.

In fact, the U.S. military is also well-trained, in the long-range artillery fire, at least 400 artillery guns, reaction, these artillery fire, 150 of them artillery fired 3 rounds of attack, but at home, it is only more than 1000 shells, in an emergency state, after all, the Japanese side does not have the power of armor, in the preparation of artillery, not even armor-piercing shells, all are high-explosive shells, this kind of shells, for the tank has a very small lethal effect, it seems that the scale of the attack, in fact, It was just a retaliatory attack, and in the end, only 12 tanks were slightly injured under the fire of American artillery, and this slight injury could not even affect the movement of the tanks, and the rest entered the back of the hill intact.

The height of the hill is not very high, even on the map of the United States, this hill has no reputation, and the Japanese side only named this hill 357.66 highland, the reason is very simple, the altitude of this hill is only more than 350 meters, and the relative height is even more than 100 meters, but it is useless, whether it is a hill with an altitude of more than 300 meters, or a hill with a relative height of 150 meters, detour the position behind the mountain, it is an absolute dead end.

Even in later generations, the use of artillery can not threaten, even if the missile can hit, the cost is too great, can not use other methods of targeting, just rely on active guidance This is quite reliable, in the era of radar-guided tanks, not to mention the visual inspection of this era, after not being able to see the traces of tanks, the US army carried out retaliatory bombing of the front line, mainly the location of those passages, in their opinion, since the Japanese side rescued the tank, there must be a lot of personnel, otherwise, It won't be so short, to get the tank out.

It's a pity that there is still not much effect, Japan and China, have long been prepared, and they have long known that the United States will definitely retaliate when it is unable to deal with tanks, and it will definitely be covered by retaliatory artillery fire, at this time, except for a small number of tanks commanded, hiding in the trenches, temporarily dug out of the anti-artillery holes, the rest have already retreated, it looks like a wide trench, only a few hundred tanks and less than 100 personnel, not to mention that they have been hiding in the anti-artillery holes, even if they don't, they can't cause many casualties, thick soil layer, There are also unique locations to arrange anti-artillery holes, which are quite effective even against the direct fire of most large-caliber guns, let alone such aimless scattering.

The sound of artillery lasted for 10 minutes, and even the Japanese side did not even counterattack, allowing the American artillery fire to rage, but in the end, the American artillery fire still stopped, everyone knows that these artillery fire has no gain except for venting anger, coupled with the threat of Japanese long-range artillery fire, 10 minutes is already OK, the artillery has begun to evacuate urgently, and on the front line, staring at Delved in front, biting his lip tightly, unable to say a word,

It's no wonder he can't say everything, he asks himself to be a young soldier, a new force in armor, he has never suffered such a big loss, whether it is a sneak attack by the team a few days ago, or today's setback, it has not shaken his confidence, but this time, more than 200 tanks were stolen right under his nose, this kind of blow is simply unacceptable, he is very strange, why can the tank that has been unable to move be taken away by Japan.

If you don't figure out this problem, many things can't continue, seeing that these tanks have entered the position of San'in, they can't even grasp it, De Lved already knows very well that he has actually lost this batch of tanks, this is a lesson, a huge lesson, even if the goal of this battle is irretrievable, it is necessary to figure out why.

Soon, Delved summoned the heads of the logistics troops, who were themselves engineers and designers of the tank production line, and after thousands of kilometers of trekking, they had a deep and clear understanding of tank maintenance and many other aspects, and they could be said to be the most familiar with tanks.

Delved was looking forward to their investigation, in fact, their investigation, did not make Delved lose confidence, after a simple analysis of the form of the battlefield, they finally came to a relatively unified conclusion, anti-tank trenches, it is unlikely to cause huge damage to the thick skin of the tank, at most let the tank on the battlefield, lose power, trapped in the tank trench and unable to move, the real damage to the tank is the follow-up infantry, those who rushed madly in front of the US tank, Regardless of their own safety, those who throw grenades and explosives packs into their hands will always be the most damaging to the tank.

The most important thing is that what those infantry destroy is not the main body and engine of the tank, the engine of the tank, as the heart of the tank, is always located in the most heavily protected place of the tank, which is not something that the personnel of a suicide attack can destroy.

As long as the main structure of the entire tank is not devastated, the tank can be repaired, and even the more complex equipment of their armored forces is not used, as long as they know how to maintain mechanically, remove some of the screws, and install the intact tracks to the appropriate position.

The maintenance personnel used simple words to inform Delved of the reason, to put it bluntly, he also thought about this reason, as long as the tank maintenance is over, leave from the deep pit, and even find the driver, it should not be complicated, for the tank of this era, as long as the ignition is successful, you can start it after a few more attempts, and even because of the use of the Chinese civilian engine, the driving method of this tank is not much different from ordinary trucks, which is even easier than maintenance.

To be honest, why the United States develops tanks as an important army force is because tanks are beyond the reach of the vast majority of the US army, although 300 vehicles do not occupy the main part of the 8,400 vehicles, but as long as Japan has a targeted operation, it is a huge problem for the US military.

Delved was also very helpless, watching 300 tanks enter the back of the hill, but there was no way to think of it, only to command long-range artillery fire, for the trench attack, at least the remaining tanks, can no longer be used, and requires the future, damaged tanks, must be dealt with, at least to destroy the tank's engine, for today's results, there should be no problem.

As for the adjutant's suggestion that it was possible to use Japan to attack in order to get rid of the passage formed by these tanks, he thought about it for a while, and finally vetoed it, and today day, the huge military force was used, not only did not produce results, but allowed the Japanese side to obtain nearly 300 tanks, which is a huge blow to the morale of the US militaryThe Japanese side does not have a second tank trench, and it is difficult for him to suffer another defeat today, which he does not want to see.

On the battlefield, it fell into an eerie calm, the long-range artillery fire of the American side, after 10 minutes of attack, stopped the attack, and the Japanese side, did not return fire, this time at the forefront of the battlefield, the capture of nearly 300 tanks, has been successfully solved, although behind, the long-range artillery fire covered, the tank trenches were destroyed, and the wreckage of more than 100 tanks remaining on the battlefield was destroyed, but for now, the tanks they took down, It is enough for Kawasaki Meijing to form a tank fleet of no small size, whether it is to study and operate the armored forces of the entire Japanese army, or to carry out counterattacks, it is a good choice.
