Chapter 14: A Converted Heart
Since the Kapani Kingdom fought with the Duchy Alliance a year ago, battles of a larger or smaller scale have broken out almost every day, especially after a large number of nobles began to rebel in various places, a small part of the western part of the Kapani Kingdom, and most of the southern to eastern regions, have planted various noble banners of the aristocratic rebels.
And the regular army units loyal to the kingdom were mainly divided into four parts:
The largest of these is the Northeast Cluster, with two standing armies deployed locally and the Kingdom's 1st Armored Division, which has recovered slightly. They were faced mainly with the main forces of the Principality's coalition forces of about three armies, as well as a small number of local aristocratic rebels that were constantly being cleared by the 1st Panzer Division.
The second-largest force was the elite army stationed in the mountainous cluster on the western border, whose combat strength ranked among the top in the entire continent, and did not receive even a single company of troops from the royal capital Capani. Because they are facing an imperial army that does not know when it will be invaded.
The third largest force was the Kingdom Guards stationed around the royal capital of Capani, although they were the weakest of the four main forces on average and had the largest number of recruits. It was only in the vicinity of the kingdom's most developed and densely populated western development area, that this force fought many battles with the rebels of the aristocratic alliance who were large in number but had a worse level of individual soldiers, and gradually surrounded the royal capital of Capani.
Although the last Southeast Army has achieved many major victories in defense, without effective supplies, they can only gradually regain lost ground and wait for a better fighting opportunity.
As for the aristocratic coalition, it was rumored to be financed by a certain big merchant in the south, and received a large amount of ordnance and materials free of charge.
The strength was substantially expanded, because the leaders of the various units of the aristocratic rebel army, who had suffered heavy losses in many battles with the kingdom's guards, decided to send a considerable mechanized force to attack the city of Huros in the north-central part of the kingdom, completely cutting off the last supply line of the king's [***] southeast army.
A mechanized regiment disguised as an armed transport corps as the vanguard was arranged as a vanguard army to attack Carreton, a strategic town southwest of Huros.
However, even the commander of this mechanized regiment did not know that they had known as the "Convoy Hunters", an increasingly large lightly armored force, like a hungry wolf smelling blood, circled the nearest road and rushed towards Carretton at the same time.

In the king's bedroom in the palace of the Kingdom of Capani, more than a dozen important ministers of the kingdom sat outside a bed.
"I say, you have now found out who the armored guerrillas who have helped our kingdom so much are they sacred? I was very interested in them, and even had the idea of personally appointing him as the general of the kingdom. Sitting on the sickbed looking at the information, Thor III, who had been awake for more than half a month, waved the telegram in his hand excitedly.
He was now very happy about this kind of thing, which was undoubtedly adding to the blockage of the principality's coalition forces.
Makaku, the director of the Kingdom Intelligence Bureau, took out a note from his bosom and said, "Your Majesty, according to the information compiled by our Intelligence Bureau, that unit may be the same armored convoy that rescued His Highness De Perry in the first place. Because we got intelligence that one of the vehicles was the same tank that was one size bigger. ”
"Oh......" Thor III heard this, and after thinking for a while, he laughed: "If it was really that big brother's doing, then the Kingdom General would not be able to match his identity." After all, you all know very well that my future nephew is the one who will run the country in the future, and although I have a little criticism of Leah's recklessness, what the big brother did...... It is enough to prove that he is able to protect this country. Oh, what's his last name? ”
"Zhang, Spice Zhang." Marcacu replied quickly.
"Zhang? It's an Oriental surname, well, it's a bit awkward, but I'm still looking forward to my future nephew being able to take this surname, Chang Kapani, and it's a bit awkward. Maybe when the time comes, the big brother will be able to find a suitable solution. Thor III fell into his own brilliant idea in a distant idea, but the courtiers listened silently to the words of the terminally ill young monarch......
Although they didn't know what would happen in the future, the monarch, who was still pondering, had already arranged everything.
And what they can do is to protect Princess Depery and make her the future queen of Capani.

At the same time, in a large warehouse in the town of Colenciral, northwest of Capani.
Sergio looked at the heavy tank in front of him, which had been constantly inspected by several armored maintenance soldiers, and the turret and front armor of the hull were completely blackened, and his face was very ugly.
And beside him, a blonde young man's face was no better.
After a while, an armored repairman climbed out of the top of the turret, jumped out of the tank, and trotted in front of the two: "Report! Many parts of the interior of the car were damaged by the strong explosion, and although the car body is still intact, I suggest that you cut the top cover and reassemble the various parts. ”
"What is the main reason why the vehicle loses its combat effectiveness?" The youth made their own inquiries.
"We found an oblique angle of incidence at the top of the turret at an angle of about 80 degrees horizontally, with a perforation of about 105 mm inside, and the 15 mm armor plate on the top of the turret was directly penetrated, which was supposed to be the breakdown effect caused by the 105mm grenade. But it is also possible that it is the result of high-angle shooting. The armoured maintenance officer stated what he and his colleagues had come to conclusion.
"Okay, you guys go get busy first." Sergio nodded, then asked the armourers to leave.
After everyone had left, Sergio silently looked at the hull of the heavy tank in front of him, and after a while said, "Ptolemy, what do you say we should do?" ”
"Cold salad, now Her Royal Highness the princess can't see anyone, dead and dead (The red-haired girl who was heating a nest of canned soup sneezed, raised her head, and then looked at the black-haired young man who was looking at the map, waving a big soup spoon fiercely: You guy are thinking about something bad!) Hum! Maybe they were captured by the other party, or maybe they became an existence that we couldn't recognize. After all, there are a lot of wild wolves roaming around there to feed. ”
The blonde young man known as Ptolemy shook his head helplessly and continued: "Fortunately, we can't see anyone alive or dead, so we can give us a little thought. Maybe one day we'll get the news that the princess is still alive and well in prison. Ptolemy was joking with himself.
"Well, although your words are cold, I have to say, we can think the same way." Sergio sighed helplessly.
The two of them just looked at the heavy tank in front of them and were speechless for a long time.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
"On July 21, the weather was fine and I was in a good mood.
That bastard guy finally let me into his baby car, well, not a baby car, because he got a new big guy that looked about the size of the No. 3 H, but it looked a lot heavier. For example, the new guy can easily be easily pulled away by the No. 3 H-shape, not to mention the 'Bobcat' tank, if it is a racing car, it is estimated that the 'Bobcat' can run away from the new thing. Hehe.
Still, I've always wondered where that strange guy got these tanks and armored vehicles. But I didn't ask, because it would definitely be in vain.
There's a very small thing inside him, and if I raise my hand, I can go over its roof. But the bad guy wouldn't let me in, saying I just had to cook. I'll poison you if I have the chance...... But forget it. Other uncles are still good to me.
In particular, the assault gun that protected the two self-propelled guns with itself, stopped in front of the opponent's tank, and crashed into each other fiercely, making an unpleasant sudden sound, exploded violently after being destroyed, and none of the uncles on it ran out.
The bastard was silently sad for days, and he ignored me when I talked to him. I wanted to comfort him. Hum!
Fortunately, his mood has improved today, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about getting on that tank.
Although the taste is still a little weird, it is okay to get used to it.
It's called the smell of gasoline, and I'm used to it in armored vehicles.
But it's a little bit of a joy that he didn't notice me waving a spoon at him, but I don't think anyone would curse me for letting you do this to me. Hum.
Let's hope tomorrow will be the same.
……
In the marching tent that several uncles had set up for her, Hurley revisited the biography she had just written, through the dimly lit and flickering kerosene lamp.
Then, she closed the notebook, set it aside, extinguished the oil lamp, turned over and prepared for bed.
Suddenly, she notices someone entering her tent, and she is about to scream, only to find that the person who has come in is someone she sees as a big bastard.
"What do you want to do?" Hurley looked at Zhang Shixin, who walked directly to her, a little panicked, and asked suspiciously.
Zhang Shixin didn't answer her, but picked her up with her sleeping bag......
"Wait a minute, my notebook!" Hurley exclaimed.
"......" Zhang Shixin was stunned when he heard this, and then stopped helplessly......
Hurley, who had been carried out of the tent, saw that the uncles were climbing into her chariot, and the bastard who was holding her carried her directly to the back of the armored car she was following, and then put her in the hands of an uncle, and ran back to her car, quickly climbing onto the top of the turret.
She had just been surveying the surroundings when she noticed a long convoy of transports driving a few hundred meters away on the road with their headlights on.
And at this time, the engines of each car made their own roar......
……
"Type 3H go to the ramp on the left, hit the tree, don't make too much noise as much as possible, assault gun No. 3, you go to the ramp on the right, hide well, Type 2L and follow me here in ambush. The scheduled firing location is the S-shaped bend below, the 'Cricket', which gives priority to the guidance tank in front of the convoy, the 'Wasp' gives priority to the heavy truck at the back of the opposing team, and the No. 3 assault gun and the No. 3 H-type are quickly replenished according to the situation! "Sitting in the turret of the fully assembled No. 4H tank, while watching the situation of the opposing convoy through the periscope, he gave the order.
Half a minute later, with the No. 3H and No. 3 assault guns ready, Zhang Shixin silently calculated the relative distance of the convoy.
As the convoy quickly drove to an S-shaped bend in the road, Zhang Shixin continued to calculate the shooting distance.
A few seconds later, Zhang Shixin gave the order: "Open the cannon!! ”
The gunners of the "Wasp" self-propelled guns and the "Cricket" self-propelled guns on the top of a hill have long adjusted their shooting elements through the angle of fire of the Eagle Eye.
And with the command relayed by the walkie-talkie, the two gunners pressed the electronic ignition button almost simultaneously.
"Boom" and "boom" sounded two cannon shots, and the shells flew straight to their targets......
……
Sitting in an ALJ-28 light armored vehicle aided by the great powers of the South, Bris, as the original low-ranking lord of the Kingdom of Capani, accompanied the convoy this time, and his mission was to buy off the local administrators of the kingdom who might be bribed.
Behind him was an ALJ-28 light armored car, loaded with a total of 4 boxes of 200 kilograms of gold weighing one kilogram each.
These precious metals are the capital used to buy.
And he was thinking at this time, if he completed his mission very beautifully this time, would those big names give him a knighthood.
However, while he was dreaming, he was interrupted by two explosions in front of him, and he was about to ask for something when another explosion came from ahead, and he knew that the convoy had been attacked.
……
"......" Zhang Shixin looked at an unknown tank in front of which was broken by the 150mm-SFH13-L17 shell of the "cricket" because the track was broken, and then was replenished by the No. 3 assault gun, and thought: "The larger the caliber, the more powerful it is." Although the hit rate is still not very reliable. ”
He naturally knew that this was directly related to the reason why the howitzer of the "cricket" was a short-barreled gun.
The shorter the barrel, the worse the accuracy, both in the game and in reality.
However, the shelling in reality can fully prove the prestige of the god of war. In the game, a bald head named Serb will chop if he likes to, completely ignoring the reality in this regard.
In the final analysis, it's still a game, for example, if a high-explosive bomb from the American T-92 240mm-M1 really smashed on Brother Mouse, not to mention weaknesses such as penetrating the top cover, just smashing on the front armor plate, then who in the crew would survive. They were all shaken to death.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shi shrugged his shoulders secretly, and then shouted loudly: "Now carry out an indiscriminate attack, shoot!! ”
Following Zhang Shixin's order, the transport convoy that was stuck in the middle of the road was immediately attacked quickly and violently.
However, because it was night, the short-barreled 75 gun of the No. 3H type was too short, and after firing three shells, the flame from the muzzle ignited the grass in front......
"No. 3H Type Quickly Transfer ......" Before Zhang Shixin, who also discovered the situation, finished the order, the remaining tanks of the convoy quickly fired at the No. 3H type.
Several 50-mm shells hit the hull and turret of the No. 3H model. In addition to the two 50mm shells that were fired by the turret's gun shield, another shell penetrated the crotch of the No. 3H type, and the damage to the No. 3H type was immediately presented on the tactical map in Zhang Shixin's mind.
The gearbox was moderately damaged, and the driver communicator was seriously injured.
"It is Zhang Shixin's habit to give priority to the treatment of pilots, gunners and loaders.
So the commander of the No. 3 H quickly slapped the universal parts around him on the body, replaced the moderately damaged gearbox, and then tore open the small emergency medicine bag and applied the powder to the driver's wound. The injured driver immediately recovered, driving the No. 3 H-type backwards and irregularly.
The communicator could only use an ordinary bandage to treat the wound temporarily.
The No. 4 F2 75mm-KWK40-L43 gun was far more accurate than the short-nosed 75 gun, and after a while, with several high-precision hits from the gunner, the front armor of a tank's hull was beaten into a sieve, and after a while, the barrel drooped, and at the same time, several figures covered with blue flames ran out of the vehicle, crawled out of the tank, struggled on the ground for a while and then did not move, allowing the flames on their bodies to swallow their bodies.
As more and more vehicles were destroyed, and the road became more and more congested, the young lord, who had been ordered to bribe the magistrates, quickly escaped from the car, hoping to escape.
It's just that, in the midst of the various metal fragments that are constantly flying, he is undoubtedly risking his life in doing so, and the god of luck does not seem to favor him:
Before he could run even fifty meters on the hotter and hotter road, a tank beside him was struggling to support a few 50mm shells and continued to fight, but then a 150mm high-explosive shell that was enough to destroy them at once accurately hit their front armor plate, and a huge fireball exploded, the tank could no longer withstand more attacks, and the crew that had already suffered heavy casualties was left with a commander himself, and there was still strength to extinguish the blue fire that had spread to the body of the car. The others had long since lost their ability to fight, either killed or lying on the bottom plate armor groaning in pain.
Although the 150mm shell did not directly penetrate the front armor of the tank, after the fuse caused a huge explosion of the shell charge, the commander was also blown by the shock and bled through seven holes, and lay on the bottom plate of the armor and twitched gently......
What he didn't know was that at the moment of the explosion, the 150mm high-explosive grenade exploded, and the scorching explosive kinetic energy was mixed with the equally hot fragments of the shell, tearing the body of a small nobleman who fled in a panic into several large pieces in an instant, and blood splattered a distance of more than ten meters......
After the battle lasted for more than ten minutes, after the heavy firepower was gradually suppressed and eliminated, except for the large-caliber mortar shells that were urgently brought down from some large trucks, the meaningless bombardment of the hillside where Zhang Shixin was located, blowing up the trees and flying the blades of grass.
It's just that Zhang Shixin didn't know whether to think that the commander of the transport convoy whose firepower was completely suppressed was a very stupid fool, and just now he saw that the remaining vehicles had extinguished the light source on the front of his car.
In a night battle, this arrangement was in fact quite correct. But it's all about the location and the actual scenario.
Like now, is it useful for you to order to turn off the light source?
The blue flames of the exploding chariot vehicle almost don't show you in the background, and although the road is a little difficult to pass, I'm sorry for my experience points if I don't try to stay here and don't kill you.
Through the information obtained from observing the situation from the periscope, Zhang Shixin, who gave the order, saw that the threatening attack of the opposite convoy seemed to be completely eliminated. But he still didn't dare to act rashly, and asked Auburn to take an armored personnel carrier to see the situation.
As the infantry on the armored vehicles rushed down and hid behind the L-type two, into the area that looked like a chariot graveyard, there was no resistance left except for a few soldiers in red uniforms who had not yet lost their breath and tried to pick up the weapons next to them and were quickly killed.
After confirming that it was completely safe and that the tactical map also showed a hint that the battle was over, Zhang Shixin asked the commander of the No. 3 H to put the wounded communicator on the ground, and then he took out the small first-aid kit on his car and tore it open, and sprinkled the powder on the wound, and the communicator, who was still groaning, immediately recovered and returned to his post.
Then, the No. 3H entered the S-shaped road with two heavy trucks and quickly cleared the battlefield.
"After you throw him in an armored car, he can start to heal automatically, aren't you crying poor all day long? Why? Hinia wondered what she knew.
"There's no reason why you should do that, because in my eyes, they're all alive and have a mind of their own." Zhang Shixin looked at the situation on that road and muttered softly.
"It seems that the fact that the Type I assault gun that you complained about all day long did not hesitate to block for your baby touched you a lot." Sinia told the story of that day.
"......" Zhang Shixin was silent for a while, and then said: "I really didn't expect it to be like this." So, I felt like I was just doing what I was supposed to do. And they, too, did what I asked for, did everything they could to protect the self-propelled guns, and they did ......"
Zhang Shixin remembered an unexpected encounter he encountered that day when a medium unit of the Principality Coalition Army was launched, although he and the other crews still tried their best to resist the opponent's desperate charge, but a Wal-22 still rushed through their line of fire and caught up with the two self-propelled guns that had already turned around and ran, but the Type I assault gun rushed down a steep slope and stopped in front of the opponent's gun barrel a moment before the opponent opened fire......
The ammunition rack was hit directly, and with a violent explosion, Zhang Shixin's tactical map appeared with a skull portrait of the destroyed Type I assault gun, as well as a hint of the death of several crew members in the lower right corner.
He didn't expect these people to rush out of a safe place in order to fulfill his instructions......
After that, he no longer regarded the person in front of him as a consumable, but more as a living existence.
……
By the time it was all over, it was almost dawn.
It's just that, looking at Hurley, who hadn't closed her eyes all night and was dozing off, Zhang Shixin took off her coat, covered her body, and turned around and left the armored car.
Unbeknownst to him, Hurley's hand moved slightly.
"You sent it, 200 kilograms of gold. What are you going to do? Cynia said this.
"200 kg...... 20,000 gold coins??? Where did that convoy get so much gold??? Forget it, it's just not the point, the point is that eight million silver coins can do a lot of things. Zhang Shi thought about it, and then his face became bitter again: "I strongly protest that a set of alloy plate smelting furnaces actually needs 500w silver coins??! ”
"Didn't you see it earlier? Don't worry, you won't lose money. "Sinia suddenly turned into a merchant ......
……
At noon that day, after a little rest and lunch, Zhang Shixin sat in the captain's seat of the No. 4 F2 model, looked at the silver coin that had become a six-digit integer, and constantly lamented in his heart: "My armored torrent can't be so expensive!! ”
And an elven dragon on his shoulder rolled his eyes speechlessly: "This is still expensive?" I didn't count your R&D costs. This stupid guy is cheap and sells well...... Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. ”
Note 1: In fact, the curved large-caliber artillery shells produce thermal friction with the air at different altitudes during the flight trajectory, forming a sound like a beep, which is not because I don't want to write about it, but that the sound is difficult to describe. And World of Tanks doesn't have this kind of sound, so I know there is such a thing, but now I'll explain why. In fact, experienced veterans heard this sound and knew that they would be bombarded by heavy artillery and lay on the ground, resigned to their fate.
Lying down is mainly about avoiding the splash range of nearby shell fragments as much as possible, and if you are still within the blast kinetic range of the shell's landing point, lying down is actually meaningless. The impact alone can shock people into fools or directly shock them to death, so this is a matter of resignation.
Therefore, the starting point of a lot of three-defense training is good, but whether you can do it or whether you have the luck to die is two different things.
In addition, don't take the movie seriously, those prop explosives and the current military explosives are completely two concepts exist, in the current situation where black gold is flying all over the sky, TNT is more than dogs, the comparison of kinetic energy values between the two is simply a matter of several levels. There are some scenes in the movie, people really don't have anything, but in reality, cannonballs can't blow you up, but you don't feel dizzy or ringing, then there are ghosts.
