Chapter 42: The Battle of the Bloody Road (6)
In fact, the artillery units of the opposing side had already arranged their artillery formations without interference.
However, please note that there is no interference in the case.
What kind of disturbance have they received?
It's very simple, Zhang Shixin's self-propelled artillery will certainly not let the other party arrange the position so comfortably.
In the light tank in front, the artillery unit of the Osvell Army found the Longest-range Panther self-propelled artillery and Tiger P rocket launcher after arranging the position, and quickly ordered the artillery transporter to bring over the extended-range shells that Zhang Shixin had purchased with great money.
This extended-range projectile is a kind of artillery shell that has appeared near the end of World War II, so the system does not restrict Zhang Shixin's right to use this thing.
It's just that the cost of this thing is quite high, and the value of one shell is equal to the cost of 5 high-explosive shells of the same caliber.
Zhang Shixin is not too bad for money now, but for this thing, he doesn't buy too much.
It's too expensive.
At the same time, Zhang Shixin did not think that the use of extended-range bullets must be blind shooting.
Therefore, the low combat efficiency of extended-range ammunition can be seen.
But Zhang Shixin has no better way, if there is a small artillery to fire a nuclear bomb, run over, and the radius of two or three kilometers will be clean......
It's a pity that Zhang Shixin doesn't have this thing now.
Under this premise, Zhang Shixin had to use such shells to make up for his lack of long-range firepower.
One loader quickly clears the chamber, while the other pries open the lid of the shell box with an iron hammer.
A box of 155mm range extender shells consists of 15 pieces, which are separated and protected by some plastic water jackets, and placed horizontally in a box with an embedded water jacket inside.
Zhang Shixin was a little dissatisfied with this storage method, but he also knew that the horizontal placement of the shells was relatively safe, as long as they did not suffer from man-made destructive effects, these shells would not self-detonate.
The thing he was dissatisfied with was, why did the cost of the shell box have to be added to the cost of the shell?
This time, Sinia did not explain, but directly and simply despised Zhang Shixin......
This extended-range projectile is not a rocket extended-range projectile, but it is also designed with two layers of propellant, so the body of these shells is a quarter longer than that of ordinary shells.
Zhang Shixin once doubted that the range of such shells would increase, but the hit rate would not drop a lot.
After Zhang Shixin's thoughts were known to Sinia, she just said one sentence: "Do you think these shells can still be fired in Eagle Eye mode when they are used?" “
Zhang Shixin nodded, and then sighed: "Can it be cheaper?" ”
"What do you say?"
……
When everything was ready, the summoner officer in charge of commanding the self-propelled artillery formation quickly informed Light Tan to report the coordinates of the enemy's artillery position.
After getting a piece of data, some light tanks quickly fired smoke grenades into the ground.
The smoke grenade quickly exploded on the ground, and the thick smoke was immediately released from the exploded projectile.
The light tanks quickly rushed into the thick smoke......
When they braved the shells fired by the Osvell army to intercept their tanks, they rushed out of the smoke area.
However, the number of these light tanks is less than a few AMX-13s that are not damaged in battle.
They continued to rush towards the enemy's artillery positions......
If anyone notices, some of the dwarf bushes will automatically ...... without wind
After the smoke had completely dissipated, the dwarf bushes protruded several imperceptible artillery mirrors, observing the enemy artillery positions.
After a while, the commanders of these AMX-13s, while observing the situation of the opponent's artillery position through the artillery mirror, pressed the headset tightly and fed back the information.
During this time, dozens of medium and light tanks of Osvirti [***] were constantly speeding through this short bush more than a hundred meters away......
The gunners of the Panther self-propelled guns had long been waiting for the opportunity to shoot. They carefully looked at the multi-dimensional scale adjustment ruler on the barrel, and then adjusted the firing elements of the artillery, and the shells quickly came out of the chamber......
More than thirty seconds later, several light tanks who were observing the situation saw that the shells had fallen to the ground one or two hundred meters in front of the enemy's position.
The commanders did the math and re-reported a coordinate.
At this time, the gunner adjusted the slight error again and pressed the launch button.
After more than 30 seconds, the opponent's artillery position raised bursts of dust and smoke caused by explosions.
After three rounds of shelling, the enemy's artillery positions began to show some casualties.
Although some situations are not clear because of a certain distance, some of the burning situations indicate that the opponent's artillery positions have been traumatized to a certain extent.
After a few more rounds of shelling, the light tank troops in front rushed to a few hundred meters in front of the artillery position where there was still a certain number of artillery pieces of various types erected, after being driven away by the pursuers behind.
At this time, the remnants of the AMX-13 quickly dispersed and turned to meet the enemy forces chasing behind, while the remnants of the WZ-131 quickly rushed into the enemy's artillery position......
……
"Stop shelling for now!" The commander of the Panther self-propelled gun, who received intelligence feedback from the front, quickly gave the order.
The gunner, having received this order, waited for the next order to arrive.
They didn't have any extra moves, because right now, Zhang Shixin's main force was fighting fiercely with most of the enemy's troops, and although they wanted to support, they had to wait quietly in order to avoid adjusting the shooting of Zhu Yuan again.
……
www.xstxt.orgx-13 Formation entangled with the opposing forces and rushed into the enemy's artillery position, using all means at its disposal to kill and injure the enemy or destroy a single artillery.
The commander, wearing a tank cap and a hatch on the roof of the car, fired at the enemy artillery with a KPV-14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun in front of the fixed turret canopy.
The barrel of the WZ-131 was aimed at enemy artillery or ammunition piles and fired shells.
These WZ-131s were not fixed in one area to strike at the enemy, but when the gunner had finished firing the shells, but the driver quickly moved the tank and rolled over the side of some of the guns.
However, some of the drivers of the WZ-131 did not react and ran directly on the shell pile.
Originally, the tank was rolled on the explosives, and there would not have been much of a problem.
However, rolling on a shell can be quite problematic.
Because the friction between the track and the shell creates a spark that ignites the explosives that are squeezed out of a flattened shell.
There are some maps in the game, some oil drums are directly rolled over and nothing at all, but in fact, if a tank dares to do this, there will basically be a very violent barbecue......
As for the tracks, must they be sheet metal?
Will any country be equipped with rubber jacket tracks in wartime?
Therefore, Zhang Shixin's tanks are all all-metal tracks, which will produce sparks like other metal friction.
Under such circumstances, the tragedy of the tank, which was crushed on the pile of shells......
Dozens of shells exploded almost at the same time, and the small body of the WZ-131 was shocked to a height of more than two meters before falling to the ground.
The driver, gunner, and loader were killed by the time the tank fell to the ground.
The commander had been shooting not long before he was shot by the opposing soldiers, and his body was now shaken back into the turret......
These WZ-131s did not last long, and after destroying a considerable part of the enemy forces and artillery, they were almost completely destroyed.
The commanders of the last four remaining WZ-131s were either seriously wounded or killed, and some of the gunners quickly shouted after removing the communication headset from the commander's body: "Request for artillery support!" Request for artillery support!! ”
He knew that by doing so, he might put his allies in danger, but the gunner and the surviving personnel knew that they would not be able to run anyway, and the AMX-13 light tank formation that was blocking the enemy was completely wiped out, and the remaining dozen or so enemy tanks were rushing here.
With the current situation, it is difficult for them to complete their mission, so they are more counting on the artillery to help them avenge it.
When the hidden AMX-13s received the news, the commander and communicator quickly saluted in the direction of the enemy's artillery position......
In the area of a few hundred meters in front of the enemy's artillery position, there were hundreds of large and small craters, and the wreckage of more than 40 tanks that were burning or the turrets were blown away, or the fiery red or blue flames were constantly burning in this area......
The AMX-13 that held back the enemy forces wiped out about five squads of tanks, and the enemy tanks that pursued them paid twice as much or more.
This can't be blamed on the AMX-13 crew, because the AMX-13's defense capability is really too poor, and sometimes, unless it's really the enemy's RP is too poor, otherwise, hitting is penetrating, which is undoubtedly commonplace for AMX-13.
At the same time, because the amx-13 has a small hull, a shell with enough power can easily kill and injure almost all the crew members, so the amx-13 relied on its own powerful firepower output to eliminate more than twice as many enemy troops before the whole army was wiped out, and it has to be said that they used their lives to complete the task assigned to them by Zhang Shixin......
……
Thirty seconds later, another round of shelling landed in that area.
At this time, the gunner and loader of the last WZ-131 quietly listened to the explosions outside......
Although the explosions soon stopped, the gunner looked out through the gun scope, and the enemy tank encirclement seemed to have been blown open a gap.
He told the news to the loader who had his left arm cut off, and the loader laughed: "We finally didn't embarrass our seniors......
"Well, yes, are the two guys still waiting for us?" The gunner clutched his belly, which was embedded in fragments, and then lay quietly on the bottom plate of the armor, said.
"Definitely, because we're fellow crews." The loader smiled.
Then, several shells that pierced the turret exploded in several directions inside the turret......
At the same time, hundreds of 150mm extended-range rockets fell on this artillery position, and one by one the pillars of fire rose up, bringing up a large number of metal fragments, corpse remains, and charred black dust mixed with blood......
Over time, this artillery position became dead silent......
……
At this time, Zhang Shixin did not know that the opponent's artillery position had been blown to pieces, but he got a message that Carter hoped to come back to him despite his mission.
While mobilizing troops to fill the gaps left by the subordinates who were constantly damaged in battle, Zhang Shixin also quickly asked the other party why he had this idea through Grelian.
Carter replied to Zhang Shixin half a minute later: "After they arrived at the predetermined area, they did not encounter the enemy. And, got a message. Even since yesterday, the local population has not seen the enemy troops marching south from the north. ”
Zhang Shixin was a little stunned, but the current battle situation had to force him to make a quick decision:
Should J.A.M come back or continue with the original plan?
Zhang Shixin looked at the tactical map for a while, and then gritted his teeth: "Grelian, order Carter to come back to help, but not directly to our rear, but directly to the south from the village of Brace in the northeast!" ”
"Is this just for Mr. Carter to attack directly behind the enemy? Can we hold on? Grelian said in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"If you can't hold on, you have to hold on! Hurry up and get in touch with Carter! Zhang Shixin looked at the tactical map and knew that he was facing the opponent's assault operation regardless of losses, and now he was about to retreat to an area where it was very likely to expose his self-propelled artillery positions.
During this period of time, he retreated while fighting, and some vehicles that lost their ability to move stayed in place, buying time for Zhang Shixin's formation to reorganize......
Zhang Shixin didn't have a good way to deal with the current situation, because, except for the self-propelled artillery unit, he didn't have a new force that could be put into the front......
