Naturally, when the self-propelled guns of the Tang Army followed the mechanized troops and drove to the fourth line of defense in depth, the artillery units were shelled and inflicted losses on the German troops. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info is followed by Datang's tank and armored vehicle charge, in short, the classic infantry artillery coordination tactics. Tang Jun has also been engaged in this set of tactics for more than 20 years, and now he is playing it perfectly, and his sense of hierarchy is quite strong. Basically, after the artillery had completed a rapid attack for more than ten minutes, the armored units followed, directly hitting the Germans in the face. The defense line built by the Germans was basically composed of trenches and fortifications, and this system was actually inherited from the Tang army, so the Tang army also knew more about it.

The trenches and pillboxes were not much of a threat to the Tang Army, and the Tang Army and its attack planes in the air were constantly diving down, teaching the Germans a lesson with 30-mm cannons and bombs.

The Germans also deployed some anti-tank fire on the deep defense line, and the anti-aircraft guns and some rockets would pose a slight threat to the Don Army, but not very much. In the first round of artillery suppression, many of them were destroyed, and when the armored troops were attacking, if they found that the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery was firing, they would immediately deal with this threat point, and the air force attack planes would also focus on dealing with such targets, so only one or two tanks or armored vehicles of the Tang Army were hit.

The breakthrough of the defensive line was easy, but then the Don army ran into the first trouble. The speed with which the Germans filled the defensive void was somewhat striking.

After Liu Sanhui received the feedback from the front, he smacked his mouth and said: "Dynamic defense system, the Germans are good." ”

The defensive line laid out by the Germans was relatively mobile and could be flexibly deployed, and when a position was broken through and a gap appeared, the Germans could quickly mobilize troops from the flank and rear to fill it, which was still a bit troublesome for the Tang Army, but it was not in a tricky state.

The troops that carried out the breakthrough had just consumed a lot of ammunition and suffered some damage, and the normal progress of the Tang Army was to replace the breakthrough troops with follow-up troops, forming a rolling rotation to ensure the combat effectiveness and vitality of the troops at the forefront of the charge at all times. However, the Germans replenished quickly, which forced the troops who had just fought to be dragged into longer battles.

The supplementary strength of the German army is also a mechanized unit dominated by tanks, and the replenishment of troops at one time is about 30 M1 tanks.

The performance of these tanks is still far behind the Type 99 tanks of the Tang Army, especially now that the Type 99 tanks equipped by Liu Sanhui's troops have been replaced with new electronic equipment and reactive armor, not to mention that the M1 tank can be compared.

To destroy the tanks of the Don Army head-on, the M1 could not do it, but the grappling was also troublesome. The tanks of the Tang Army had no more than five rounds of ammunition in reserve, and the crews were somewhat tired, and some of the vehicle crews had not achieved results in continuous firing, and they were already close to the German tanks, and the distance between them was tens of meters and hundreds of meters.

However, at this distance, the thickness of the frontal armor of the M1 is not much different from the paper paste for the 99 who goes down the mountain (actually on flat ground).

The Tang tanks soon lifted the turrets of the German tanks one by one, and these Type 99s themselves had no ammunition, and one of them had a mechanical failure and lay directly on the battlefield.

The second wave of German troops preparing to regain the front came again, and the Tang army could no longer fight, so they could only retreat and let the replacement troops meet them. A tank with a mechanical failure can only allow the crew to jump out and board other vehicles, and then other vehicles will destroy it in case it is obtained by the enemy.

In fact, as one of the main tanks of Datang, the reliability of the Type 99 is still very good, its design level is very high, and the production process is relatively exquisite, making this type of tank the most reliable vehicle for armored troops on the battlefield. On the contrary, the latest tank Type 12 main battle tank, because it uses more new technologies, is not too stable.

The Tang assault troops retreated a little distance, and the Germans rushed up in a hurry, wanting to recapture this breached gap and stabilize this defensive line, and it was impossible for the Don army to let its troops be seriously disjointed. The military education, command art, and theories received by the officers of the Tang Dynasty were all the most advanced and perfect in this era, and there were a large number of exercises and training, so they basically would not make such low-level mistakes.

The armored regiment that the Tang Army has taken over on a rolling basis is already in place, this regiment is larger, and it is all equipped with Type 12 main battle tanks. Since the Type 12 tank was finalized, the annual output has been more than 2,000 units, although it is not fully equipped with every armored unit, but it can basically ensure that every group army has a part of the latest tank armored regiment. Of course, in fact, when dealing with goods like the M1, the difference between the Type 99 and the Type 12 is not too big, and the M1 cannot penetrate the armor of these two tanks, and both tanks can kill the M1 with a single shot.

The Type 12 tank, which had better fire control and an automatic loader, had an advantage against the German tanks coming up on top. At a distance of 2000 meters, when the M1 could not reach the Type 12 tank, the Type 12 could not wait to fire, and what was even more buggy was that at such a distance, their hit rate was still extremely high, only the first wave of more than ten tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing shells, eight of which directly penetrated the opponent's tank.

It's just that the armored troops of the Tang Army deliberately used the best armor-piercing shells against the enemy, but the armor of the M1 was so thin that the armor-piercing shells fired by the armored troops of the Tang Army directly shot these tanks through each other, and if you were lucky, you could kill a few German soldiers, or make a little martyrdom or something, and if you were unlucky, you could continue to act even after a pause with the M1 tank that was hit.

The commander of the armored regiment in charge of the command immediately scolded: "Is your head rusty? What do you think is the thickness of the opponent's armor? 400 or 500 mm? Damn, that thing even if you add the bevel angle, which is at most between 120-150 mm of armor defense, with armor-piercing shells! ”

The tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing bullet used by the Tang Army can penetrate to a depth of 600 mm, in fact, the research and development of this thing is a tragedy in itself, like the dragon slaying knife, the ability is very great, but there is no dragon to slaughter it.

The armored corps of the Don Army immediately replaced with armor-piercing shells and began to bombard the German tanks, and the entire battle lasted only more than ten minutes, and the second wave of German troops was also defeated. By this time, the follow-up forces of the Don Army had divided and surrounded a number of German units on the fourth line of defense and annihilated them. The fourth line of defense has completely lost the need to recapture. (To be continued.) )
