Chapter 1699: Aircraft Reconnaissance

The flare illuminated the area of the battlefield into a daylight, but the duration of the illumination was not long, at most only a few tens of seconds to a minute or two, and when the effect of the flare failed, the whole night returned to darkness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's not that there are no flares in the hands of the special forces, it's because there is no need for this, the 700 people of the standing team have all been shattered, causing different lethality, but they have completed the task, not only let them see the appearance of these tanks clearly, but also test some of the tanks, for example, 4 machine guns, there is no way to cover all the positions, there is a certain dead end, and the position of the machine gun is the focus of protection, many soldiers directly put their bodies on the machine gun, and the machine gun was blown away, But the tank still doesn't have too many problems, except for the lack of a machine gun, the other differences are not much, but the tracks and fuel tanks are weak links, as long as you find a way to attack, it should be able to have an effect.

The 700 detachment team has already died, they should also withdraw, thinking that the explosion is a little bigger, it has already alarmed the US troops dozens of kilometers away, as long as the US troops send a large force over, they will have nothing to hide, the damage caused by the standing team is not very large, and finally the combat effectiveness and appearance of the tank have been recorded, as long as they report this information, it will be a great achievement, and then, it will be judged by the high-level, and they only need to carry out the order.

The Japanese attack team retreated, the US military still did not recover, the sudden attack, and so violent and sudden, who knows if there is a follow-up, for the US military, in the dark night, it seems that there are countless eyes and enemies watching them, they must be vigilant to prevent another sneak attack.

The highly nervous U.S. troops, continuous mistakes, and even a few owls flying by, will cause a burst of nervousness, and even some misfire, although there is no attack, but the sound of machine guns is endless, and from time to time the machine gunners fire bullets.

The chaos lasted for a long time, almost an hour or more, Delved ordered the heralds, coupled with the cooperation of the lower-level officers, to reorganize the team, 8,000 tanks, no longer divided into 8 different parts, but divided into 3 parts, each part is about 3,000 tanks, forming a large circle, protecting the perimeter, from the trees and grass, the nearest place, also more than 20 meters, any attack is enough to react.

In more than an hour, Delved not only reorganized the troops, but also figured out the losses, according to accurate statistics, the hit tanks for 650, this number is caused by 700 detachments, one person against one, in a very close position, the tank can not be protected at all, in fact, marching in the dark, and can not turn on the lights, the tank is almost impossible to find the enemy, the team in the shortest time, to find a suitable tank, only less than 50 people are unlucky, or not found, Either they were killed by stray bullets, there were about a dozen, or two people got on top of a tank.

However, 650 vehicles were hit, and very little damage was caused in the end, most of them were minor injuries, and even minor injuries that did not affect the function and performance of the tank, and those that were heavily damaged and damaged, a total of 78 tanks were lost, all of which were heavily damaged tracks, and the others were minor injuries, and the use of spare parts and some completely damaged tanks were replaced, and finally 62 were successfully repaired, which was equal to only 16 lost, which made Delved very relaxed, but when he saw the next loss, his eyes tightened slightly.

The losses were not small, more than 300 people were killed and more than 3,000 were injured, most of them seriously. 30 kilograms of explosives, may not be able to make the tank suffer heavy damage, but through the armor, the shock wave of the bomb can still affect the inside of the tank, the tank of this era, there is no so-called shock absorption and shock wave design, once the shock wave and shock are too large, even if the armor has no effect, but the people inside will be hit hard, lucky, just hit the head, bad luck, hit something, it is not uncommon to die.

More than 500 tanks were attacked, with more than 300 personnel losses, and only more than 300 died directly, most of them were shocked and unconscious, God knows if they woke up, and there are no sequelae, even if most of the tanks are intact and can be repaired, but there are some tanks that are lacking in manpower.

The entire tank force, each tank, is six members, 4 machine gunners and 2 drivers, damaged 650 tanks, casualties 3000, equal to an average of about 5 people per car, this casualty ratio is not small, among the most unlucky few, all six people died, such an extreme is a minority, the tank's wide body, can effectively slow down the power of the explosion, as long as it is not too unlucky, at most only minor injuries, which is also the real reason why most tanks can move, Those Japanese advance teams didn't know that they had already inflicted heavy damage on 650 tanks, and if this was on the battlefield, these 650 tanks that could still move would have a much lower speed and a much greater chance of being hit by artillery fire.

Of course, it is impossible for Delved to let this situation continue, there are two drivers on the tank, and hundreds of people are randomly transferred, and the tank is barely driven, since the opponent's attack is so sharp, it is impossible to continue to wait, and he must leave immediately.

Although the situation is more serious, and even more than 650 car groups have been hit by a huge blow, but it is also the final result, which makes Delved, who has always been more worried, completely reassured, the vigilance of the Japanese has been greatly improved, in the thinking of the Americans, there is no concept of standing up for the team, not in a desperate situation, there are still people with the determination to die, to blow up the tank, these people are too crazy, the thought of a person wearing dozens of kilograms of explosives pounced up, especially the possibility of attacking him, he shuddered, This Japanese is too crazy to talk about at all.

8,000 tanks, shrunk slightly, and guarded the wounded, understaffed tanks in the center, at this time it was close to dawn, according to the previous practice, Delved would definitely stop, but this time, Delved did not do this, there were still dozens of kilometers, and it was at the camp of the American army, besides, the Japanese came up to sneak attack, no matter how many people came, the tanks must have been exposed, what else could be hidden, stay outside for too long, there is no infantry protection tank, It's easy to be threatened by this near-suicidal attack, or to get to the camp sooner.

Here, when the tank troops were speeding up, the information had been transmitted back by radio in advance, although some people drew pictures, but the exhausted special forces, after withdrawing 15 kilometers from the combat position, chose a hidden place to rest, and there was no way to continue to come back, but through the description, fortunately, the description was clear enough, and hundreds of radio signals were used to describe the appearance of the tank.

These are enough, Zhang Tianyou can judge through these descriptions that the US convoy is a tank, and the combat effectiveness is not low, especially the 30 kg high bombs, which have not been able to destroy the outer armor of the tank, which proves that even if it is artillery, there are only a few guns above 100 mm, and equipped with armor-piercing shells, directly hit the tank, it is possible to pose a threat to the tank, this is a big problem, which means that the tank has the ability to threaten the defensive position of Juneau.

But then, the special forces responsible for keeping an eye on the tank convoy reported that after the US troops entered the daytime, they did not hide, but continued to drive, and in order to obtain more comprehensive information, he decisively sent a reconnaissance plane.

There are at least 20 reconnaissance planes, at an altitude of about 5,000 meters to carry out reconnaissance, this is the best working distance of optical cameras, in the past flight drills, requiring their altitude not to be lower than 9,000 meters, more than 4 kilometers, the plane will look much smaller, and it is not easy to attract attention, the sound of the aircraft engine, can not be transmitted to the ground, but at an altitude of four or five thousand meters, people underground can clearly hear the sound of the engine, the appearance of the plane will be much larger.

Just as the US military found the plane reconnaissance through analysis, Zhang Tianyou also analyzed something from the unique actions of the US armored convoy, China's reconnaissance plane, it should have been exposed, in this case, what is still hidden to do, the sooner you figure out the specific appearance of the opponent's tank, you will be able to know what to do next, with the most appropriate height, the picture of the tank is clearly photographed, if you can get the traces of the explosion, it will be better, you can evaluate it from the side, The protection and combat capabilities of US tanks.

The movement of tanks in this era is still a little bigger, hundreds of tanks, just like this, the smoke is quite eye-catching, after the plane takes off, fly to the direction where the tank came, even if there is no ground guidance, it is easy to see the target, especially because of the worry, the tank is concentrated, it is even more powerful.

The tank on the ground, no matter how fast it runs, can't outrun the plane, the plane that takes off from Juneau, at most 12 minutes, can fly above the tank, 20 fighters, like flies, hovering above the tank team, Delved looked at the sky, a little helpless, but there is no way, not to mention that they have no anti-aircraft machine guns on hand, even if there is, more than 4000 meters altitude, only a limited number of machine guns can reach, it is difficult to damage the aircraft.

At this moment, the sooner you arrive at the US camp, the safest it is, and the US army is also attacked by tanks, in order to avoid damage to the tanks, they sent a team of 4 divisions, about 8 o'clock in the morning, they came into contact with the US tank convoy, there are infantry on the periphery, and there are tanks to protect it, and the team wants to look for another opportunity, it is almost gone.
