Chapter 7: The Battle of the Harbor (Part II) Coordinated Sniping

The 100mm guns of Glenshire's heavy tanks were fired with 100mm shells that were deflected off by the Tiger shields and front armor.

It's just that the 88mm shell fired by the 71 times diameter 88mm tank gun of the Tiger P easily drilled a bullet hole in the side of the opponent's turret, and in just over two seconds, the ammunition of this tank was detonated by the kinetic energy generated by the explosion of the 88mm armor-piercing shell, and then, the entire turret was shocked into the sky by the ammunition of the serial explosion, and then quickly fell next to another heavy tank.

Another shell from the "Bell ......" hit the frontal armor of the Tiger P's hull, once again declaring that its penetrating power was powerless against the frontal armor of the Tiger P's 200mm hull.

However, Zhang Shixin did not plan to fight with the other party, but waited until the No. 4 "Leopard G" equipment type replaced the tracks with a small universal parts package, and then evacuated to the other end of the street, and then he also let the Tiger P slowly retreat.

It's just that after the other party's remaining two heavy tanks caught up, they were stunned to see it......

There were actually four tanks on the street aiming their guns at them, and one of them was the one they couldn't penetrate, whether it was the turret or the mysterious tank on the front of the hull.

Then, before the two commanders gave the order to shoot, they were quickly destroyed at the corner of the street without suspense by the armor-piercing shells fired by four tanks and several 170mm high-explosive grenades that came from nowhere.

Zhang Shixin had several Panther G tanks equipped with 100x diameter 75mm tank guns continue to be stuck in the center of the street, as this position was still very good for defense in Zhang Shixin's tactical map.

And he, in turn, ordered the crew, to go to the combat position of the nearest heavy tank unit, which also appeared......

……

Compared with several Tiger P, which can fight the opponent's heavy tanks alone, the Tiger tanks, which are more numerous, have been suppressed in the face of the opponent's heavy tank formation. If it weren't for the fact that the Tiger's mobility is better than that of the Tiger P, and it is also supported by the Panther G tank's tank, I am afraid that it would not be the current situation where it can barely maintain the battle line, but it will be easily suppressed by the opponent's numerical superiority.

After all, the Tiger tank has to face a tank gun with a caliber of 100mm caliber and a barrel length of not less than 45 times the diameter, and only by virtue of the armor equivalent of about 125mm (5% of the technology bonus and its own 110mm vertical tilt of 9 degrees of armor plate) and the thickness of the gun shield, the closer it is, the more dangerous it is to resist the opponent's 100mm shells.

However, with the support of several Panther G tanks, the two sides were still able to maintain a relatively safe combat distance for the Tiger tank.

It's just that the number of the opponent is a little too much, so they have to close the distance to ensure that the armor of the tank will not be penetrated by the opponent's armor-piercing shells with a high probability.

And a few Tiger tanks act as snail-like firefighters, where they are needed, they will quickly rush to the place where they are needed after dealing with the enemy in front of them.

In contrast, the Panther G tank is now the second armored force that Zhang Shixin can draw his hand on, and it can resist the long-range shooting of the opponent's heavy tanks, and the extra-long 75 gun they carry is even more of the opponent's nightmare.

As long as the Panther G tanks tilt slightly, they face the enemy's frontal hull and turn 10 degrees to 15 degrees left or right, the opponent's 100mm shells unless they directly hit the Panther G's spherical machine gun perforation or the frontal armor of the turret is penetrated, or even the shells that fly from the shield just pierce the top armor of the hull, in the battle of a distance, the Panther G's ultra-long 75 guns attack intensively, accurately and quickly, Deeply frightened the opposing heavy tank forces.

This situation also shows an affirmation of the operational policy adopted by Zhang Shixin.

That is, three tanks in an armored platoon, concentrating their fire on one of the opponent's heavy tanks, and then quickly aiming at another enemy heavy tank that they could see after making sure that the opponent was actually defeated.

If it weren't for the fact that the super-long 75 gun could still be used on the street, Zhang Shixin would not have developed the super-long 75mm tank gun and mounted it on the Panther G.

Because the sense of existence of this thing in street fighting is really weak, not the main street or the main road, I'm afraid that even some narrow streets, Zhang Shixin has to be careful whether the barrel of this cannon will break due to a slight collision.

This can also be regarded as an external factor, and Hinia, a black-bellied little girl, did not say that there is also a guarantee in this regard.

However, fortunately, this cannon is really powerful, compared to the various surname indicators of the No. 4 "Leopard G" equipped 70 times the diameter of the 75mm tank gun, except for the reload speed is a little reduced, the others are much stronger than the latter's ability.

Especially when the side armor of the opponent's heavy tank actually knocked the shells of the 75-long tank gun flying, Zhang Shixin simply had the idea that he really couldn't underestimate human wisdom.

As for letting the Panther G tank with an armored skirt play telescopic......

Zhang Shixin believed that this method of warfare was tantamount to sending him to death.

He knows very well that the Panther G tank is not unable to play telescopic, but needs to swing the turret back and forth while moving the hull back and forth.

In this way, the efficiency will become even worse.

This is not a game, the barrel of a tank gun can go through walls.

In addition, it is also very important that even if the side is equipped with armored skirts, the main thing is to protect the chassis from the direct damage of hollow jet bullets and fragments, and at the same time effectively reduce the shock damage of large-caliber high-explosive shells to the suspension system to a certain extent.

Expecting that the 25mm weak armor plate plus the almost negligible chassis armor for armor-piercing shells can withstand the opponent's armor-piercing shell attack, Zhang Shixin's head was not kicked by a donkey, he would not do such a stupid thing.

As for the other side rushing over, how will his tank troops respond?

It doesn't matter, a large number of infantry have already laid an ambush on top of nearby houses, ready to give the other side a memorable siege of the armored forces.

"Fortunately, there is no air force now, otherwise this battle would be really difficult to fight." Zhang Shixin glanced at the heavy tank that slowly appeared on the side of the Tiger P tank next door, and did not pay much attention to the other party's move to slowly turn the turret, but once again gave the order to shoot at the target in front.

Zhang Shixin is not afraid that the side armor of the tiger pit will not be able to block the opponent's armor-piercing shells?

Of course, it is impossible not to be afraid, and to be scared to death. It's a matter of minutes.

As for why Zhang Shixin is so calm?

Because the heavy tank of the Grunshire Empire had not waited for the turret to fully turn, it quickly and slowly retreated......

It's just too late, and the two No. 4 "Leopard G" equipped tanks that have retired from the action battle are already on the right side of Zhang Shixin's Tiger P tank, locking the turret side and rear position of this heavy tank and the side of the hull in the barrel......

After two shots, two bullet holes appeared in the back of the turret side of the heavy tank, and after a few seconds, it slowly started again, and the energy tank of the reversing heavy tank was hit by two 75mm shells, and it exploded rapidly......

……

However, Zhang Shixin's armored troops all chose effective positions and adopted effective tactics for defense, but the number of tanks on the other side did not decrease and seemed to be increasing, and Zhang Shixin's tank troops still suffered considerable casualties.

Two of the Tiger tanks were destroyed by a sneak attack on the side of the opposing side.

This made Zhang Shi's heart ache, although some of the crew members were successfully dragged back to the nearest house bunker by the infantry who risked their lives to rescue them, but the loss of these two tigers made Zhang Shixin lose two important combat forces that could maneuver and fight.

After all, instead of expecting the Panther G-type to strike the opponent many times to make the opponent incapacitated, the long 88mm tank gun of the Tiger tank only needs two to three guns to make the opponent incapacitated, which is more worthy of Zhang Shixin's trust......

As for the armored vehicles, Zhang Shixin let them stay in the port area, except for letting them carry infantry at the beginning.

The opposing infantry has not yet appeared, and he did not make it easy for the armored vehicles...... Well, easier means of fighting tanks. Even if he lets the armored vehicles go into battle, I'm afraid it won't play a role, so it's better to keep it for now and wait until the opponent's infantry or armored vehicle units appear.

The best anti-tank weapon is a tank, and armored vehicles should not join in the fun.

Moreover, if there are tank killers, it is also a matter for the infantry, and armored vehicles should not come to join in the fun.

Zhang Shixin did not have the bad hobby of sending cannon fodder to the battlefield.

As the enemy's troops gradually destroyed and wounded more and more tank units arranged by Zhang Shixin, the occupation that had not been opened for a long time had the possibility of being crushed by the enemy......

Zhang Shixin has no good way to do this, although he still has half of the "reserve" armored force has not been mobilized, but he expects the wild bee to be more crispy than the "rhinoceros", the body is too high, and the "Black Panther" self-propelled artillery is not advantageous in close combat, Zhang Shixin does not expect the melee effect of the GW Tiger P-170mm self-propelled gun at all, if there is anything wrong with these "reserve" armored units, let alone whether they will be easily destroyed by the other side, and they may blow up their own people with direct fire......

Well, counting on medium and high-level self-propelled artillery as reinforcements in close combat, Zhang Shixin has to say that this can also be regarded as sending cannon fodder to the battlefield.

However, it still got to the point where he didn't need to make this decision.

On the tactical map in Zhang Shixin's mind, small green dots rushed to the window or balcony one after another, and some of the bold ones were even closer to the edge of the door......

When several heavy tanks passed by, the soldiers of the close security company who were close to the edge of the door rushed to the side of the tank, pasted the HHL-43 anti-tank magnetic grenade that had been prepared long ago, and pasted it in the middle of the opponent's energy tank or the hull......

......Under the action of the powerful hollow jet, the hull of these tanks was seriously damaged, and some of the energy tank armor plates were pasted with HHL-43 on them, and after the explosion, the armor plates could not resist the powerful hollow jet, and the energy tank was quickly detonated......

The heavily damaged Grunshire Empire's heavy tanks don't want to continue fighting, some commanders gave the order to abandon the car, most of the uninjured or slightly injured members were drilling out of the hull, and before they could jump out of the tank, they were used by the infantry hidden on both sides of the house with the S-44 (everyone knows what it is, the last two words are drawn...... Alas. Assault rifles and FG-42 paratrooper machine guns strafed the hornet's nest......

The enemy's armored attack was once again hampered by Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Company.

But this time, the protagonist is just an infantryman.

The opposing armored forces had to stop their march and frantically fire shells at the buildings on both sides......

Although this brought considerable trouble to Zhang Shixin's subordinate infantry, their attacks were more useless, after all, there were people on the balcony in a high room or on the balcony, and the area that could be easily hit by them was basically not a few people......

In short, they vent the general shelling, and more useless......

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

"Where are our infantry units?" The commander of the Glenshire armored unit roared helplessly again. General Grunshire was equally helpless about this question......

Because their path was filled with huge and dense craters, it was clear that this was a good thing that the Imperial fleet of Gultoka had done.

Some time earlier, he ordered the commander of a mobile division under his command to lead more than 50 armored vehicles and 27 GLL-31 "Hound" II light tanks owned by the entire Panzer Corps to support the self-propelled artillery brigade, which had no news from them, only to encounter another bombardment from the fleet on the way......

Less than 10 light tanks were able to return, and there were quite a few casualties......

As for the armored vehicles, the end is a little better, and there are more than 20 vehicles that can be built, but many of the infantry carried in them can be directly ordered to retire......

He wouldn't mind doing it if he could......

And the news they brought was not what the Glenshire general had expected - the total annihilation of the self-propelled artillery brigade......

He gritted his teeth at those hateful warships right now, but he had to figure out a way to get the rest of the mechanized troops to storm the harbor area first.

He knew very well that his armored forces would not be able to take this port city with only a few armored vehicles.

Merely...... The problem is in this place......

Not to mention the roads were blown up, and whenever a considerable convoy attempted to cross the plain between the town and the port area, they were shot at by the abominable warships......

After three charges, he had already lost almost two mechanized brigades, only under three indefinite saturation shells......

The current road condition, it is estimated that the face of the pockmark is much smoother than it......

It wasn't that he didn't wonder if he was being watched, after all, this kind of shelling was obviously a huge effect that could only be achieved by someone informing the coordinates.

However, he sent people to investigate many times and did not get a useful feedback on the situation, and he had to abandon this plan.

But now, it seems, he is about to draw conclusions......

……

A few minutes later, the remaining units of the Grunshire Empire's armored corps were mounted in their assigned vehicles, and then divided into a dozen queues and rushed towards the port area in a loose formation.

However, even if the formation is loose, in the face of the fire coverage of more than a hundred large-caliber naval guns, the casualties will not be low......

And also through the terrain of such conditions......

Many trucks and armored vehicles were stuck in deep craters and could not move, but there were still many vehicles that circled them and pushed forward.

The shrill whirring of large-caliber shells was heard in the sky, and then huge blue sparks of various sizes, but all of which meant death, exploded in the convoy or around the crater......

Armored vehicles or trucks that were directly destroyed by artillery were undoubtedly lucky, and their crews and crews did not have to face the war again......

Vehicles that are lucky or walk to the perimeter that are not covered by artillery fire are also lucky, because they are still alive and well......

Perhaps the most unfortunate people are the unfortunate wounded...... Because no one cares about them...... And they also did not survive the end of the battle, even if some of them survived to the end of the war, when Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company did not have a rule to rescue wounded soldiers......

Still, a significant part of the convoy crossed the plain of death and entered the outskirts of the port area......

"Interception failed! Interception failed! The fire extended to the rear!! The fire extended to the rear!! "Behind a pile of rubble, behind several low broken walls, a cannon mirror is constantly watching......

A few minutes later, through the information conveyed from the front, it was known that the naval artillery support was no longer of much effect, and the Gultoka Imperial Navy fleet was satisfied to escort the transport fleet on its way home.

And Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company must rely on itself to protect this place......

ps: Stood all day...... Fortunately, tomorrow will be out of the bitter sea......
