Chapter 8: Bloody Opérez (6)
If you need my experience in playing games, you can tell me about it in the book review area.
The number of words varies, but it doesn't make up too many words.
Below is the text.
……
Zhang Shixin knew very well that the width of the battlefield in a town was directly proportional to the size of the town.
The unit of battlefield width refers to a division.
For example, if the width of the battlefield is estimated to be 2, then if you put in more than two divisions to launch an offensive at the same time, the effect is not necessarily better than just putting in just the right number of people, and in some cases, the excess combat power will cause some casualties.
There is no standard for estimating the width of the battlefield, and at most it is a plan based on the opinions of the commanders.
This is because siege warfare is different from field warfare, and siege warfare is also divided into siege warfare and one/multi-directional siege warfare.
For example, in the Shanghai battlefield of the Battle of Songhu, because both sides attacked in one direction, the width of the battlefield between the two was about 2~4, that is to say, in the urban area of Shanghai, at most, 2 to 4 divisions of troops were fighting.
But the Battle of Berlin was the opposite, because Berlin was too big, and the Soviet army had completed a large-scale siege, so the scale of the Battle of Berlin was much more spectacular than the Battle of Songhu.
After all, dozens of divisions were fighting in the Berlin area, and it was difficult to imagine such a spectacle without spectacle.
Although, the Battle of Stalingrad was the battle with the largest number of participants in the history of warfare.
But in many ways, the Battle of Berlin was the battle with the largest number of troops at the same time.
Zhang Shixin's attack on this satellite city now can only be regarded as a small fight in terms of its quantity.
It is also unlikely that he will avoid this satellite city and attack Opérez directly, firstly, because other countries have not attacked that area, if Zhang Shixin directly bypasses here, he will face the most elite remnants of the Osville Empire, and he has no idea of looking for death.
Second, regardless of the enemy forces in this satellite city, if the battle of Operez is officially launched, the other party stabs Zhang Shixin in the back, and Zhang Shixin will not end well.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin was not worried that the enemy army would retreat to Opérez, but was even more worried about leaving this place alone, in case something went wrong, he would not find a place to cry.
…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................
The three main forces of Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company are constantly occupying the streets.
Although not every street is covered by tanks or assault guns, there is an interesting phenomenon on the battlefield.
That is, whenever a VK-3601(H) converted into a Spitfire tank appeared on the street, the soldiers attacking on the street would quickly move away from the thing thirty meters away, regardless of the situation.
Of course, the crew members of the VK-3601(H) knew about the situation, and they had no good idea about it except that they had nothing to do.
When the Spitfire crew, if the turret is hit by a powerful shell, they don't want to run away, and in the same way, the Spitfire is a moving bomb like the Spitfire.
War movies and games often ignore this point, in fact, in reality, no one dares to get too close to the Spitfire, because if the oil tank is destroyed, it can directly kill friendly soldiers with a radius of at least five meters at any time.
This is not accurate, because the main reason is how much fuel is still in the tank.
Although a tank detonation will absorb a lot of damage from the armor plate, the Spitfire has a considerable amount of special fuel, so these infantry would often prefer to be hit by bullets rather than use the Spitfire as cover.
Because the Spitfire tank is actually no less dangerous than an armored vehicle loaded with ammunition.
……
The more famous Spitfire tanks of World War II were the German Spitfire No. 3, the American M4 Sherman Spitfire, the Soviet T-34-F, and the British Crusader Spitfire.
It is said that there is a legendary Type 97 Spitfire tank, but it is difficult for Zhang Shixin to imagine what the significance of this thing as a Spitfire tank is.
In fact, the combat efficiency of the above Spitfire tanks is not very good, and the overall evaluation of the M4 Sherman Spitfire tank should be the best.
However, the M4 lighter is also famous all over the world.
The main reason for the No. 3 Spitfire is that the armor protection is too weak, and the turret is relatively narrow, and it is not equipped with much special launch fuel, which also affects the combat effectiveness of the No. 3 Spitfire.
The T-34-F is mainly modified using the chassis of the T-34/76, and the armor defense effect is okay, but because of the consistent design ideas of Soviet tanks, it is inevitable that the wind will not be good.
The Crusader Spitfire is a similar comparison to the T-34-F, but the narrower turret also makes the Crusader Spitfire less efficient.
As for the Type 97 Spitfire tank, this thing is not nice to say, it is an iron coffin with its own incinerator function.
Zhang Shixin did not directly choose the No. 3 Spitfire, mainly because the armor protection of the No. 3 Spitfire was too weak, and he didn't want these Spitfire tanks to be a one-time surname.
So, he chose the VK-3601 (H), which has better armor protection.
The VK-3601(H), converted into a Spitfire, uses a late-stage turret, and a considerable part of the interior space has been converted into a cuboid-style oil tank, and the vehicle-mounted flamethrower with its own fuel injection and pressurization device is directly connected to the oil tank.
Somewhat different from the prototype, the turret of the VK-3601(H) Spitfire tank could not rotate 360 degrees, but could only take a wide swing of 270 degrees.
This is related to the change in the design of the car body, after all, the flamethrower is directly connected to the oil tank, and Zhang Shixin is not too dissatisfied with such restrictions.
Nothing else has been altered much, except that inside the turret, a ventilator has been added above each side of the gun shield to dissipate heat.
The style of the turret gun shield remains the same, but the barrel looks wider than the short 105 gun due to its own fuel injection device.
The VK-3601(H) Spitfire tank does not have the defensive ability to penetrate the gun, but the defensive effect of the gun shield is not very good.
Because the gun shield is not strengthened, for the Spitfire tank, it is not a big problem, but if the barrel is hit during the battle, it is often very likely to directly ignite some fuel, causing a chain reaction.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin is not unaware that this VK-3601 (H) Spitfire tank has such a weakness, but this is a common problem of Spitfire tanks, and it is difficult to correct.
The biggest weakness of the Spitfire tank is its short firing range and its lack of much effect against armored vehicles.
Based on the VK-3601 (H) Spitfire tank, Zhang Shixin discovered the range of this thing, even if Zhang Shixin purchased a much more expensive vehicle-mounted flamethrower, the range was only about 40 meters.
Such a range is indeed a bit shabby, but what Zhang Shixin is most worried about is not this problem, but the lethality of the Spitfire tank to the armored troops.
Reality is not a game, the heat resistance of homogeneous steel plates is quite strong, even if it is a 50mm thick armor plate, it has to be baked for more than ten seconds before it shows signs of melting.
Will a tank make you bake him for a dozen seconds or even more without being indifferent?
Besides, even if you find an opportunity to burn the opponent's fuel tank directly, you don't want to blow up the opponent's fuel tank in less than four or five seconds.
And this is still an external fuel tank, if the other party is using a car body fuel tank, how long do you have to bake?
So, this thing is used to conduct operations against armored forces, and it is a joke within a joke.
Of course, Zhang Shixin didn't expect this thing to really hit tanks. It exists to settle some fortifications.
……
This VK-3601 (H) Spitfire tank, which appeared here, mainly received a telegram that a strong fortification had appeared in front of it, which hindered the offensive of the troops.
The Spitfire's effect on fortifications, as long as you can find a gap, is quite threatening.
The enemy saw a tank driving over, and a junior officer led by him smiled: "The other party is not dead yet, just a few tanks are powerless against our bunker, what can it do this time?" ”
Just now, an ISU-152 spent half a minute attacking the bunker, but of the three shells fired, one missed, and the other two were only able to smash some cement debris.
Well, just with the BL-152 of the ISU-10, that gap of less than fifty centimeters is really an incomparably difficult thing to hit accurately.
So this ISU-152 retreated.
However, what happened next was quite unexpected, and the tank braved the hail of bullets and rushed into front of them about 20 meters.
"What do they want to do?"
The junior officers quickly got an answer.
The VK-3601(H) Spitfire aimed its flamethrower at the firing hole in the bunker, and a blazing flame erupted.
The hot flames were quickly poured into the bunker with high-pressure fuel, and a soldier with a machine gun was quickly engulfed in the firing hole of the bunker.
After a while, there was a crackling sound from the bunker because the ammunition box was not detonated, and it was clear that the bullet box was detonated, and the burned bullets continued to fire outward after the primer was ignited.
After more than a dozen seconds, the flamethrower temporarily stopped functioning, as it needed a certain amount of cooling.
Despite the overheating and bottom ventilation, it is also a theorem that flamethrowers are not able to continue fighting.
The commander of the VK-3601 (H) Spitfire saw another passage in the bunker and walked out of a few fire men, and he smiled.
The VK-3601(H) Spitfire tank was not satisfied with its own results, but moved closer to the right side of the street.
There were a lot of enemy troops hidden on these windowsills, and the commander was quite upset when these enemy soldiers threw grenades and fired at them.
The commander glanced at the gunner, and then asked, "Is the cooldown finished?" ”
"That's it!"
"Good! Let's roast the big rats! The commander smiled.
The VK-3601(H) Spitfire's flamethrower moves upwards and then continuously shoots flames as it moves forward.
Soon, some of the clutter in these attacked rooms was quickly set on fire.
At the same time, from time to time, there are some enemies on the windowsill, and after the military uniform is ignited, they have to roll over their bodies or want to take off their military uniforms directly, so as not to be burned, or even burned alive.
It's just that most of these people do it in vain.
Even if there is no direct hit by the flame, as long as they have special fuel on their bodies, then even if the opponent takes off their uniforms, their bodies are also stained with some special fuel, after all, flamethrowers are mainly hydraulic type, that is, the flame does not ignite the fuel sprayed, it does not mean that there is no fuel at all.
In fact, even now, when the Pyro is training in exercises, there will be a shallow oil circuit on the ground.
Therefore, as long as these people's bodies are stained with a little bit of spark, then the special fuel on their bodies will be quickly ignited, and these people will have a high chance of being burned alive.
On several streets, several VK-3601 (H) Spitfire tanks were constantly carrying out arson work, playing the role of the best "arsonists".
In other streets, the fighting intensified.
…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................
Although the reinforced E-50M was quite less than ideal in terms of speed, at the time, its defense capabilities were indeed excellent.
An E-50M failed to brake and rushed into a fortress complex.
The commander glanced at the dense fortresses and sighed in his heart, "It's over." ”
According to the commander's idea, these bunker groups should be equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft guns and howitzers, and now he is really finished......
He could even imagine what kind of death he and the crew should have.
Soon, the first wave of shells hit them, and by this time, the barrels of the E-50M were aimed at the nearest bunker.
"I'm going to pull a few pads to die! Shoot! "The commander gave the gunner the order to shoot.
Armor-piercing shells are not very effective on buildings, either they are pierced or they are not pierced at all......
It's just that this problem, for the E-50M, is not a big problem. The distance of more than 100 meters, although it can't be said that it can be said that it will not be too off-marking.
As the anti-aircraft guns planted in the street fortress were preparing for a second shot, a 105mm armor-piercing shell pierced the shell shield and exploded at the other end of the wall.
In reality, unlike in the game, the AP bullet penetration is too strong, and there will be no forced damage. Because there is no explosion power, the probability of killing or injuring people is quite low.
In fact, many tanks in the game are placed in reality, and it is possible that they will not be able to lose blood.
It's like a rhinoceros being attacked by a high-piercing cannonball, and the cannonball hits the sides or fronts where there is no object, in fact, the cannonball will continue to fly.
Such a situation is certainly not possible in the game.
At the same time, there's a problem with the game, and that's that the heat thing is the real killer for the thin leather body. After all, it is possible for HE to directly penetrate without blood.
Therefore, it is very difficult for a high-piercing shell to destroy a defensive gun, unless it directly hits a part of considerable thickness, such as a barrel or gun carriage.
However, the walls of this bunker are too thick for armor-piercing bullets to penetrate, and a forced explosion effect will appear.
The gunner watched speechlessly, and could only make the loader reload a high-explosive shell......
This is how the two sides fired at each other, but the appearance of the E-50M looked like a hornet's nest, and even the load wheels flew off a few times, and the gunner had to adjust the muzzle height to continue firing.
The gunner was also quite helpless to do this, because the body of the car had already been tilted to one side after the load wheel flew off, and he did not adjust the height of the muzzle, and estimated that he would be able to hit some small animals that did not have long eyes.
Unfortunately, the crew thought they were dead, so they didn't notice that they were almost unharmed until now.
These anti-aircraft guns of the Osville Empire are not difficult to penetrate the side of the E-50M and cause damage to the hull.
However, this was before the E-50M was not lined.
The enemy artillery saw this scene and was quite depressed, because they had already fired so many shells, and the hit rate was quite high, but, what is going on in this situation?
They are a little crazy, how can there be such an enemy who can continue to fight even after the wheels are knocked off?
It did not occur to them that even if their shells penetrated the armor plate outside the E-50M, they would have to penetrate a little bit of the lining armor.
Sometimes, it is because of this that a legend is born.
If Zhang Shixin knew about this scene, he estimated that his jaw would fall in surprise:
Such an immortal bird...... It's obvious cheating.
A few minutes later, a squad moved to a suitable place at the firing angle and fired self-propelled guns, and finally the E-50M, which looked very miserable, in fact, in addition to losing the ability to move, the crew members were slightly injured, some parts were damaged, and the engine was damaged.
After seeing the shells falling from the sky and then destroying most of the bunkers, the commander couldn't help but feel like he was left behind......
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
Zhang Shixin's troops advanced quite quickly, and in just a few hours, they occupied a considerable number of streets.
However, Zhang Shixin did not give the order for a general attack, even though the center of the opponent's town was only a few hundred meters away in a straight line.
Zhang Shixin ordered the E-50M formation to carry out mobile support to assist the front-line troops in consolidating their defenses.
He had to do this, first, the battle has been fought so far, many troops must be supplied, and at the same time, Zhang Shixin is very worried that he will give the enemy a chance to counterattack if he is too aggressive.
"Let the troops rest in half an hour, and then launch an offensive in half an hour!" Zhang Shixin gave his own orders through Grelian, and left the turret of the E-75B.
Zhang Shixin glanced at the streets that were still smoking, and some flames kept rising from some of the collapsed houses.
He sighed slightly.
So far in the battle, he has not received too many reports of combat losses, which can be called another major victory compared to the number of enemy troops destroyed.
Zhang Shixin shook his head, looking at the corpses of the enemy soldiers on the street that had not yet been collected, and he saw that some people who were not wearing military uniforms were also lying next to a broken wall. And this corpse, with some grenades strapped to it.
He sighed softly: although he would have thought of this a long time ago, but ......
He was tempted to say something, but he found that things had come to this point, and saying anything would not help.
Zhang Shixin looked at the corpse for a long time, and when he turned around, he found that Grelian was holding a can, standing behind him and looking at him without saying a word.
When Zhang Shixin looked at this girl, he saw the softness and understanding in the other party's eyes.
Zhang Shixin's heart moved slightly, but he didn't speak...... (To be continued.) )
