A distance of a little more than six kilometers is not long for a semi-armored heavily mechanized unit.

However, what awaits them is an overwhelming flood of rockets.

Zhang Shixin sat in the captain's position in a tiger hunting car, watching the enemy's markers disappear one by one from the tactical map, and there was a feeling of excitement in his heart.

But he quickly shook his head, because he didn't like the feeling of being in love with it, because it meant that he liked the war.

"......" Zhang Shixin silently gave instructions to the troops at the front to try their best to be less than 500 meters away before the enemy discovered them, and not to be able to open fire easily.

Zhang Shixin's arrangement is nothing more than in the case of long-distance shooting, they are inferior in numbers, if they can't give full play to their firepower advantage, then they will be the ones who will suffer.

He was also very helpless to do this, and if this plain area was a good place for ambushes, he wouldn't be so depressed.

However, the plains are sparsely populated with bushes, not to mention the weeds that can shelter the tanks. That's even less damning.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin arranged for armored transport vehicles to occupy these positions, so as not to be destroyed by the enemy.

The coverage of rockets is very extensive, but for the number of enemy troops, the destruction and damage of more than 30 enemy tanks and combat vehicles by rockets is not enough for Zhang Shixin to be too excited.

After all, the number of enemy troops is there, and such a kill rate is better than nothing at best.

……

The armored commander of the Osvell corps naturally received the news that the forward troops had been attacked by artillery fire, but for him, the loss of dozens of tank fighting vehicles, he simply did not pay attention.

He is more concerned about whether he can complete the tasks assigned by his superiors.

The purpose of his concentration of his Panzer Army this time was to include as many areas as a buffer for engagement before the Gultoka Empire reacted and quickly drew reinforcements from the interior to engage them, and included as much as possible in the occupied area.

According to the commander-in-chief's operational arrangement, their main forces had to delay the northward movement of the other forces of the Gultoka Empire before leveling the victory and defeat of the expeditionary forces of the two allies and the navy, which were attacking several minor principalities.

Because now, they are fighting away from home, and they may be flanked at any time by the local troops left behind by Gultokati [***], the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Capani, and the troops of the expeditionary force.

If that were the case, they would simply not be able to withstand such a counterattack.

So, as the vanguard force, he commanded his troops as much as possible to seize the territory of the Gultoka Empire that could be used as a buffer zone.

In fact, he also knew that his country's war in this war was simply a risk.

Although now they have the upper hand and see the dawn of victory.

However, he knew very well that there were too many variables, not to mention whether the army could complete the scheduled plan.

More importantly, it is to see if the navy can withstand the counterattack of the imperial naval forces of Gultoka.

If there is a naval side that cannot resist the counterattack of the Imperial Navy of Gultoka, then they do not have to fight, they either surrender directly, or they are occupied with sea supremacy, and the allied forces of the two countries that can appear from all possible positions make dumplings or simply drive them into the sea to feed the fish.

Therefore, the armored commander is well aware that although his task is very important, the decision he occupies is not in his hands.

All he could do was to do as much as he could.

When he received the news that the forward troops were being attacked by artillery fire, he first shook his head helplessly, because according to his thoughts, the Gultoka Empire had already mobilized troops from other places to rush to support.

However, he also had one point of doubt, that is, where did the enemy army come from?

Because according to the information he has obtained, there are not many troops that the Gultoka Empire can mobilize now......

Naturally, the mountain legions in the west would not be mobilized to such a flat plain to fight in a way that would not give full play to their strengths.

To the east, Gultokati [***] is now a militia unit, and naturally there will be no such firepower.

The troops to the north were almost all concentrated in a few small principalities, crushing the desperate resistance, but hopeless principality alliances.

It was possible for the troops to the south, but in contrast to this situation, he did not think that the Gultoka Empire would risk being attacked by the Hilton Empire and weaken the forces of the south. At the same time, the Southern Legion of the Gultoka Empire, to be transferred to this place, is also lacking time.

After all, it's too far away.

The last ......

"Should it be ......" The armored commander thought of a somewhat probable unit, which was the Praetorian Guard Legion, which was directly subordinate to the royal family of the Gultoka Empire.

Judging by the timing, it's possible that they're here.

However, the level of firepower poured by the Praetorian Guards was definitely not such a petty fight.

If Zhang Shixin knew the commander's thoughts, he would definitely think depressedly: "I am this kind of strength, you give me more time, I don't mind bombarding your mother with hundreds of self-propelled rocket launchers so that your mother doesn't even recognize who you are!" ”

"Where the hell did this army come from?" The armored commander shook his head, simply not thinking about such a thing. Because he quickly figured out that no matter which force it is, it is naturally the enemy army that attacks them.

"The troops in front continue to advance, and then delay the opposing troops, waiting for the support of the follow-up troops!" This order was given by the armored commander.

The follow-up troops continued to move forward, and their formation was relatively neat, lined up in four teams and constantly drove towards Zhang Shixin's location.

Subsequently, WZ-131, which remained motionless, relayed this information to Zhang Shixin.

……

"......" Zhang Shixin, who received the news, shrugged his shoulders, because he had never expected that he would be able to scare off the other party just by relying on the covering attack of self-propelled rocket launchers.

He was quietly calculating the distance of the other party.

Unlike the armored troops of the first line of defense, the area where Zhang Shixin is located is almost 500 meters away from the first line of defense.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin didn't have much confidence in his own arrangement, to be honest, because their strike distance was within 1,000 meters. Although the accuracy of the anti-tank guns of the Elephant and the Tiger is good, at such a distance, their hit rate is not too high. It is even possible that there are various hits or no accurate hits at all.

At this distance, even the most skilled gunner, all he can do is to bring out the best in his strength.

Sometimes, the hit rate is not something that the gunner can decide, it depends on luck as well as ...... The artillery itself.

Zhang Shixin naturally knew this situation, and he also knew a truth very well, that is, the gunner's job was not to hit the enemy, but to aim the crosshair at the enemy, and then pull the trigger.

Whether you can hit the enemy or not, many times the gunner says it doesn't count......

When Zhang Shixin was playing the game, it was not without encountering a shrinking circle that almost completely trapped the enemy in the circle, but the cannonballs actually flew over from the outermost area......

Well, a lot of things, only can't be done, nothing can't be imagined.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin's combat requirements for his subordinates are not to shoot in waves.

His request is also in the category of helplessness, and the actual hit rate of tanks in reality is piled up in quantity.

He also tried to aim for a while, and the shell still deviated from its trajectory. So, some things really aren't just how you want them to be.

Zhang Shixin had no choice but to follow the trend and use dense artillery shells to concentrate fire on the enemy army and increase the lethality of the enemy army.

Although shells are expensive, how many shells can be worth the cost of a tank?

The answer to this kind of calculation proposition does not need to be explained.

If you have that time to aim, it is better to aim the crosshair at the opponent as much as possible and shoot quickly.

For tank combat vehicles, the loading time is used for presight, so Zhang Shixin believes that in this case, the gunner's job is to press the firing button at the first time.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin has counted that the hit rate of his tank troops is not too high.

In relatively close engagements, the hit rate is okay, after all, it can hit the enemy more accurately.

But if the distance is long, even if it is the Tiger King, if you shoot at a target 1000 meters away, you can have a hit rate of about 40%.

Reality is not a game, after these battles, Zhang Shixin found one thing, that is, at a relatively close distance, the gunner simply shoots when he sees the enemy, and there is no time to aim at all.

One second can decide life and death, this sentence is just as common to the crew members.

In addition, reality is not a game, and in real combat, few gunners will be able to aim at the tracks of the opposing tank fighting vehicle. Because of this idle time to aim at the tracks, it is possible that the opposing troops, several tank guns are aimed at you, and shells are spitting out.

In reality, many times, when the track is broken, it is the shell that misses......

Therefore, Zhang Shixin is now arranging three lines of defense that are not too far apart, one is to improve the probability of concentrated firepower, and the other is to avoid being easily broken through the defense line by the opponent.

Because of this distance, as long as none of the three defensive lines completely collapses, then they can still play the role of crossfire.

The focus of these three lines of defense is the second line, so Zhang Shixin arranged a large number of tanks and combat vehicles into the second line of defense.

However, no matter what, what Zhang Shixin can do now is to wait for the moment when the official start of the fight.

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

"It's coming, ready to attack!" More than a dozen tank squads in the front line of defense aimed their guns at the enemy tank fighting vehicles that were constantly getting clearer and clearer as the distance was getting closer.

A few seconds later, the first few T-54/55s opened fire, and then the other squads fired quickly.

Shells quickly flew out of the fireworks from the muzzle of the cannons and fired at the enemy.

……

Carl Hendry was the commander of an OSL-M36 "Raging Bull" medium tank, vehicle number 1575, and in this battle he and his vehicle formed the vanguard of the vanguard.

His car survived the rocket artillery bombardment just now, but a commander who was familiar with him, the OLS-M36 "Raging Bull" with the number 1566, was directly pierced by a rocket obliquely through the top of the turret......

He reached beyond the shelling zone and saw that the turret of the tank had fallen a few meters behind the hull.

Obviously, after the tank was hit, the output of the engine still pushed the tank forward for a small distance, and only then did it lose power due to the explosion of the tank.

Karl, who saw this through the turret periscope, knew very well that none of his friends and several crew members would survive such a situation.

He suddenly felt a little scared, whether he was afraid that he would die like that friend, or whether he was afraid that he would die on the battlefield. He couldn't tell.

However, he soon forgot about such feelings.

It's just that this time, he didn't have such good luck.

Several 100mm shells fired at his 1575 numbered tank, except for a "bell" that came from the gun shield and made him not smile, the other shells easily tore through the armor equivalent to the front armor of the 120mm hull and burrowed into the driver's position and the gearbox position......

The turret soon echoed with several violent explosions, and then the gearbox that caught fire and the pilot's exploded shell almost completely dismembered his body, splashing some flesh and blood on his body, and after choking on the smoke a few times, he could see as clearly as possible the smoke and the inside of the already burning car. After thinking about it for a while, I had to give the order to abandon the car.

Without hesitation, he quickly opened the turret cover, hoping to escape as soon as possible. However, when he leaned out of the turret, before he could roll over and get out of the car, he felt something hit through his chest......

……

The gunner of an ISU-152 watched helplessly as his shells seemed to be far off, and he could only wait for the loader to reload the shells and then continue firing.

In fact, the BL-10's hitting accuracy is so poor, mainly because the gun is too heavy, and it is placed at the front of the hull, and the momentum transmitted by the hull makes the BL-10 often in a relatively concussive situation.

With such a premise, the accuracy of the BL-10 is relatively high, so it is called a ghost.

However, what he didn't know was that the 152mm armor-piercing bullet he fired just now didn't hit anything......

……

In contrast to the more accurate hit rates of the T-54/55 and the Gold Type 59, the IS-3 gunners had to say that the M55-T5 tank gun was a fool's errand.

The armor-piercing projectiles it fires have completely irregular deviations from their own trajectory, and many gunners can't do it if they want to manually adjust the trajectory.

However, in contrast to letting the gunner's own speechless pit hit, the 122mm shell charge coefficient dedicated to this gun is more, and the 262mm correction penetration depth looks far beyond the opponent's protection factor. As long as these shells hit the hull of the enemy's tank fighting vehicle, it will be difficult for them to escape the fate of being penetrated.

The more powerful 122mm shells can often bring heavy damage to these hit tanks and combat vehicles, and even kill them with a single shot.

It is also difficult for these gunners to say whether this tank gun is good or bad, and they do not have the time to study this issue now.

As a result, most of the gunners helplessly shouted that the loader loaded the shell and waited for the next shot, but some gunners saw the surprise of the enemy's tank tank vehicle being hit, and the two were constantly replaced, and the IS-3 heavy tank in another world also announced that its first battle was sounded.

……

Compared to the first line of defense, the second line of defense has a significantly lower hit rate. Especially the ISU-152, the accuracy of 0.48 makes these gunners more helpless.

However, now that they are in the middle of the battle, what they can do is either until the end of the battle or until they lose the ability to fight, otherwise, they will continue to fight.

However, as the most powerful anti-tank gun that Zhang Shixin is now mounted, the BL-10's 152mm shells are not trivial.

An ISU-152 commander suddenly noticed that an enemy tank had stopped after moving some distance while the gunner had given up observation and asked the loader to load the shell.

He continued to look and saw that the top of the tank's turret had been opened, and a tank crew with blue flames peeking out.

After a while, the engine of the tank exploded, and blue flames quickly enveloped the entire tank.

He said to his gunners: "Well hit!" We destroyed the enemy! ”

The gunner of "......" was stunned when he heard this, but quickly came back to his senses and looked for the next target.

The hit rate of the King Tiger and Lion heavy tanks was not too high, but it was far higher than that of the BL-10. So, their kill rate also has a place.

This is largely due to the high level of craftsmanship of the German tank guns, but of course, the ZEISS tank gun sight also helps.

The stability of the gunner's own ability to play is also a factor.

However, in contrast to the advantage of good accuracy, the power of the shells is on the weak side of all the tanks that are being fired, and in some cases, they hit the enemy tanks, but the damage is not as great as that of the S-series 122mm guns.

There were many times when the commander watched helplessly as the enemy tank continued to advance, and had to ask the gunner to replenish the gun again.

The hit rate of the BL-9S of the Su-122-44 is not as good as that of the Lion and King Tiger heavy tanks, but compared with the BL-10, the accuracy of the BL-9S is obviously much more reliable.

Although the power of the deep heel is not as great as that of the BL-10, the relatively fast rate of fire and the improved accuracy allow the Su-122-44 to have a certain success.

The formations of the AMX-50-100 were not outstanding, with a salvo of magazines and guns, many enemy tanks were either heavily damaged, or even destroyed, or nothing happened.

The commander of the AMX-50-100 is not dissatisfied with such a situation, after all, the distance between the other party is still far away, and their power has not yet been fully exerted.

However, in contrast to the more calm commanders and gunners, the loaders are a little dissatisfied.

Because of the loading of the magazine gun, it is a very troublesome thing, they only have two fully loaded magazines. If the fight is finished, the magazine will need to be reloaded one by one.

If Zhang Shixin knew that his subordinates were complaining about this situation, he wouldn't be able to say anything, remembering that at the beginning, he didn't reload the 20mm miss-41 magazine one shot?

It's not that he didn't want to change all of them to a full magazine, but the problem is that the system doesn't have such a thing.

Well, Zhang Shixin is dead.

In contrast to the shooting effect of the second line of defense, which is both good and bad, the third line of defense where Zhang Shixin is located, has a very embarrassing hit rate because of the distance from Taiyuan.

Because the hit situation is completely determined by RP.

Zhang Shixin's tiger hunting, the gunner fired three shots in a row, and it seemed that none of them hit the enemy.

As for Zhang Shixin's next to the Hunting Tiger, another Hunting Tiger exploded an advancing enemy tank with one shot.

Well, Zhang Shixin glanced at the gunner who was a little anxious and comforted the other party: "Just try hard." ”

As soon as Zhang Shixin finished saying this, he discovered that the enemy had finally discovered the location of some tanks and combat vehicles in the front two lines of defense.

He watched the fireballs of smoke rising on the ground, and knew that the battle had officially begun at this moment.

The advantage of ambush warfare is that you can get a period of firepower, but now, now that the enemy has spotted them, it's up to you to see what happened.
