Chapter 22: Glacier and Snow Field—The Tiger King's Roar

In about ten minutes, the armored forces of the GLP finally caught up with the T-34-85 formation, which had deliberately slowed down, but when most of the tanks were in the best firing range of the Panther G-formation, they were immediately subjected to shells fired from 75mm tank guns, and they were violently baptized.

Unlike the 100mm-d10t, the accuracy of the ultra-long 75 gun really made them desperate.

On average, out of ten shells, only three or four were missed, which is a matter of several levels with the accuracy of 100mm-d10t.

Although the power of the 75mm shell is not as great as that of the 100mm shell, for those PL-L32 light tanks, it is only a matter of one shot or two shots. Moreover, the opponent's more accurate shots, compared to the fact that 100mm shells often deviate from the crosshairs by a certain distance, the power of 75mm shells can make them feel more desperate than 100mm shells.

The T-34-85, after continuing to evacuate for some distance, quickly turned around and joined the battle formation.

Compared with the T-34-85, the protection of the Panther G is undoubtedly better, but because the hull is too high, even with the bonus of painting, it is difficult to avoid becoming the target of concentrated fire.

However, even the 85mm-PT33-L45 tank guns of the PL-M33 medium tank that are now available in the GLP Army will not be able to damage the Panther G if they do not fire shells that do not hit the most obvious weakness of the machine gun muzzle, and occasionally accidentally penetrate the Panther G's lower armor plate and hit other places.

However, because the Panther G is also a rich and handsome series, they are subjected to a large number of shells, and many Black Panther G models have been destroyed because of this.

Even if the other parts of the Panther G can withstand the armor-piercing ability of 85mm shells, it will be difficult to avoid being destroyed many times and unable to move.

Zhang Shixin once emphasized during the training that even if the tracks of the tank were broken unless necessary, the members should not risk climbing out of the vehicle for repairs.

As a result, more and more Panther G tanks had to act as fixed pillboxes for defensive operations after the tracks were destroyed.

The sound of artillery was interspersed with the explosions of a destroyed tank and the wails of the crew......

But the balance of victory seems to be tilting in favor of the GLP Alliance, as the opponent's new PLS-H35 advanced production heavy tank appears on the battlefield.

The shape of the ARL-44 heavy tank, as well as the heavy armor, can effectively resist 100mm shells that wear only about 185mm at 500 meters. T-34-85 had to abandon its intention to attack the opposing heavy tank forces.

Since they can't do it effectively, they might as well shift their target to other enemies who can effectively deal damage.

Although the shells fired by the Panther G's ultra-long 75 tank gun can easily penetrate the opponent's frontal armor plate, the power of the 75mm shell has been improved to a certain extent even with the bonus of technology.

However, it was impossible to destroy the opponent in a short period of time by simply penetrating the opponent, and the Panther G formation had to concentrate its firepower on this PLS-H35 pre-production heavy tank.

Under the concentration of firepower, the combat losses of the opponent's PLS-H35 advanced production heavy tank also increased significantly, but the fire suppression of the Panther G tank was missing. Many of these enemy PL-M33 medium tanks were able to pull out their efforts and strike directly at the formations of the T-34-85.

The opponent's PLS-H35 advanced production heavy tank also concentrated its firepower on the Panther G.

Unlike the other two tanks, these tanks were a little slower, and their armor was not effective against 75mm shells fired by the Panther G.

But one thing they excelled at was that the PLS-H35's 110mm-FT34A-L50 tank gun was also effective at piercing the front tilting armor plate of the Panther G.

Under the enemy's superior strength and stronger firepower, the battle line formed by the Tantan troops of the Elven Dragon Security Company had to retreat and reorganize due to the increasing battle losses.

But the other party still squeezed it up, hoping to destroy these enemies in one fell swoop.

At this time, with the leading King Tiger tank finally showing its shape at this critical moment, a battle of King Tiger became famous, kicking off.

……

Tiger Kings appeared on the battlefield one by one, and Zhang Shixin called for fire support some time ago, but helplessly, the artillery unit actually found that about a kilometer near the hidden point, there was actually a large Grunshire army passing by.

Well, Zhang Shixin is not a stupid person, for the sake of fire support to abandon the self-propelled artillery system, Zhang Shixin does not have this style.

But on the other hand, he let these artillery pieces be silent, and naturally knew that he could only rely on himself at this time.

Fire support could not be counted on for a short time, but he still had the fierce beast of the Tiger King to count on.

What Zhang Shixin didn't expect was that on Fei Lei's King Tiger tank, a young girl was excitedly waiting for this scene to come, which was her first time on the battlefield.

As the King Tiger tanks finally climbed the long ramp, the GLP Alliance Army also spotted these huge tanks that were clearly enemy tanks.

Compared to the PLS-H35 advanced production heavy tanks, the King Tiger has a taller hull, but the width of the King Tiger is much narrower than that of the other party. As a result, in the first mutual shelling, not many King Tiger tanks were directly hit, and they were attacked by PL-L32 light tanks.

Even if the 50mm shell was lucky enough to hit the spherical armor of the machine gun in front of the hull of the King Tiger tank, all the communicator heard was the clanging sound of ricocheting.

Then, the King Tiger tank, which had come to a standstill, fired at the nearest enemy.

Boom......

Soon after a series of artillery shots, several GLP Confederate tanks were pierced through the front armor plate, and one PL-M33 tank was directly penetrated through the ammunition rack, and the entire turret was immediately blown into the air, and when it fell to the ground, it fell directly behind an unlucky PL-L32 light tank nearby, crushing the opponent's engine part badly......

Due to the fact that the opponent's PLS-H35 was a mass-produced heavy tank first, it was not discovered for a while that the King Tiger tank was not at all something that its other two series of "colleagues" could fight against. Therefore, they still targeted the Panther G-type.

After more than 10 seconds, the King Tiger tank formation at one end of the line experienced the baptism of jingling bullets again, and stopped for a short time again, and then, the muzzle of the gun once again emitted fire, and more than a dozen 105mm shells came out of their chambers and flew straight to their targets...... Or the area around the target......

Several more GLP tanks were reimbursed, and several PL-M33 medium tanks were seriously damaged......

After the Zhongtan Light Tanks of the GLP Alliance Army conveyed the news that they were completely unable to fight against the opponent's heavy tanks to the heavy tank formation, a considerable number of LS-H35 advanced production-oriented heavy tanks immediately adjusted their hulls slightly and turned the direction of the turret in the direction in which Zhang Shixin's King Tiger tank formation appeared.

They had to do this because it would allow them to move the aiming position of the tank gun faster.

They seem to have underestimated the power of the T-34-85's 100mm-D10T tank gun, and after they completed this step, many T-34-85 and Panther G models who discovered this scene have adjusted their shooting targets to these PLS-H35 pre-production heavy tanks that expose their sides to them.

Without waiting for these PLS-H35 pre-production heavy tanks to shoot at the King Tiger tanks, dozens of shells were fired at them.

It is difficult to calculate whether such a blow has any special effects, because the opponent's tank flanks also have a certain amount of defense and a chance to ricochet.

So, with the exception of a few unlucky PLS-H35 pre-production heavy tanks that were directly destroyed by the explosion of the ammunition rack, many shells were ejected and did not hit the opponent at all.

But Zhang Shixin knew that the benefits of such a blow actually outweighed the disadvantages, because his enemies suddenly reduced their combat strength considerably.

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers.

Zhang Shixin found that this sentence was undoubtedly the most suitable word for the battlefield.

Therefore, he asked the troops to attack the opponent's weak areas as much as possible on the premise of protecting themselves.

In reality, the weak points of the tank are not only areas that are easy to penetrate, but most of them are areas that can cause casualties or tank damage to the enemy.

However, unlike in the game, in direct fire mode, the tank gun penetrates the roof of the turret, and has no noticeable effect on the damage to the inside of the tank. Of course, the commander is either dead or injured, and this is right.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin did not be too strict with the gunners of his armored troops to aim at the opponent's weak point to shoot, because in reality, time often decides everything, under the premise of being able to ensure the penetration of the opponent's armor, shoot a shell as soon as possible, maybe it can bring heavy damage to the enemy, there is no need to deliberately aim at the weak point to shoot, wasting precious time.

In this case, Zhang Shixin did not completely prohibit this method of warfare, but it depended on the situation.

Probably aiming at the opponent's car body and shooting, this is one of Zhang Shixin's combat concepts.

This is the way the King Tiger tank fights, and the 105mm shells are guaranteed to penetrate the enemy steadily, and the gunners only take a rough aim and then shoot directly.

The effect is still very good.

Zhang Shixin naturally knows that this is the advantage of quality rolling.

There is no advantage to take advantage of, and it is also not Zhang Shixin's style.

"Bang ......"

After a series of 110mm tank guns mounted on the PLS-H35 advanced production heavy tank, more than 20 shells flew towards the King Tiger tank formation.

Jingle ......

It's a pity that even if these shells hit the King Tiger tank, this is the sound that comes from.

The gunners of the PLS-H35 advanced production heavy tank, which was firing at the King Tiger tank, saw this scene and felt that they were in a better mood if they didn't hit the other party.

But knowing or feeling that their shells hit the hull of the King Tiger tank had no effect at all, these gunners were undoubtedly deeply hit.

"Failed to penetrate the front of the opponent's car!"

"Ricochet !!"

"Failed to penetrate their armor!"

"Unable to deal effective damage to enemies!"

A series of reports rang out, so that the commanders of these PLS-H35 advanced production heavy tanks had to order the tanks to move forward and close the firing distance between the two sides.

In fact, they are also helpless to do this, because it is a very silly move to increase the penetration of the shells fired by their own tanks while closing the distance.

Not to mention the fact that the medium tank units that were still resisting were still resisting and shooting at them, which was actually a very risky thing to do.

In addition, they have narrowed the distance with the King Tiger tank, so why not give each other a better penetration?

This kind of thing is relative. But they didn't have a better way.

In contrast to the helpless actions of these commanders, Zhang Shixin's mood can be described as very good.

While commanding the King Tiger formation, he knew that the opponent's 110mm shells could not pose an effective threat to the King Tiger tank.

He made up his mind, and then let the remaining Sino-Tantian troops continue to maintain the battle line, and then after the King Tiger tank advanced to a certain position, they changed formations, and the remaining Sino-Tantian formations followed behind the King Tiger tank to form an M-shaped shock formation.

The so-called M-shaped shock formation refers to the tank units lined up in more than two rows, with heavy tanks with better protection at the front, medium tanks at the back, and light tanks/assault guns and tank destroyers at the back.

At that time, the Sino-Tantan formation was no longer responsible for the main attack, they were more interested in protecting the flanks of the King Tiger tank from being attacked by the opponent's express trains.

If a heavy tank is destroyed or unable to continue fighting, the medium tank behind will take the opponent's place and continue the attack in formation.

This is a decent way of fighting, and Zhang Shixin doesn't like this way of fighting, because it will bring certain casualties.

However, in the absence of artillery support, Zhang Shixin could only adopt this most secure lineup to fight.

This is the limit of what Zhang Shixin can do.

The combat formation effect is much better than that of this M-shaped formation, but we have to look at the armored combat vehicles that Zhang Shixin can shoot now.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Zhang Shixin is very unfortunate to be in this situation.

……

The opponent's armored forces could not effectively attack the King Tiger tank at all, even if the distance was shortened to more than 400 meters, their armor-piercing shells hit the King Tiger tank, except for scratching a little paint, basically useless at all.

The commander of this unit was dumbfounded, and he had to send a message to the camp asking for volunteering.

But he didn't expect that his troops would not have more combat power to support him.

He thought of something bad, and that was that the Glenshire Empire had drawn troops from other regions to fight.

It is true that the camp cannot draw more troops to support, and if this is not the case, he, as the commander of the reserve force, will also serve as a reinforcement and fight on the front line.

"These damn monsters!" He looked at the King Tiger tank formation on the opposite side hatefully, slowly driving on the snow field full of large and small craters, suppressing them.

He couldn't retreat, because if the purpose of these men was to camp, his army would be caught in a two-sided situation.

"Summons the cars! Moving forward!! Ulla!!! "He gave a battle order that was considered to be death,

It's just that if Zhang Shixin heard the words of this brother, he would look at the other party speechlessly, and then make his own inquiry: "Ulla, your sister!" Such a classic word can appear, do you want to have everything for Germany or the emperor of this board??? ”

In any case, after the shouts of Ulla erupted, the heavily lost armored troops of the GLP Alliance Army charged towards the armored forces of the Elven Dragon Security Company that had formed a formation.

Seeing this, Zhang Shixin thought speechlessly: "Can you use so hard? ”

He quickly made adjustments: the formation remained the same, and then gradually distanced themselves from each other.

Zhang Shixin did this, mainly because he didn't want to be careless for a while, so that the other party would give Bao Yuan.

Even if it is possible to cause a certain loss of remaining combat forces, if the opponent really rushes over, the M-shaped formation that spreads the distance can hit the enemy more effectively.

The tank units at both ends of the formation quickly move to the left or right, and then the tanks in the center continue to attack the opposing troops.

Then, the moving tank again covered the non-moving tank and fired at the enemy.

By analogy, after the opponent's tank formation rushed to the center of Zhang Shixin's relatively open formation for a distance of more than 100 meters, because the distance was shortened, the attack on the opponent was more effective.

The overall number of the opponent's tank formations was roughly the same as the number of Zhang Shixin's remaining tank formations.

Zhang Shixin's eyes showed a trace of cold killing intent: It's time to end.

He made tactical adjustments again: "King Tiger attacks the opponent's heavy tanks, and the T-34-85 and Panther G carry out indiscriminate attacks on the opponent's medium and light tanks!" ”

The artillery battle between the two sides was renewed.

Unlike the previous battle, the armored forces of the GLP Alliance Army continued to charge.

Although the speed was relatively slow, the shooting effect in motion could not be guaranteed at all, and several tanks closest to Zhang Shixin actually flew off shells more than 50 meters away.

You can imagine how unreliable this hit rate is.

However, Zhang Shixin didn't care about this, he watched the enemy tanks in front of him in the periscope being destroyed one by one in front of his eyes, and he knew that this battle had been declared over.

The last PLS-H35 pre-production heavy tank came a few meters in front of the stationary King Tiger tank, and the two barrels were almost touching each other.

But Zhang Shixin saw that the other party was concentrated by dozens of tanks along the way, and knew that the other party was finished......

"......" Zhang Shixin silently looked at the snow field full of tank wreckage and craters, he knew that this battle was just a small battle in the northwest region of the Glenshire Empire.

When he was told that the battle was over, he asked the remaining tank crew to save his comrades who had not yet died.

In this battle, the Tiger King did not lose a single loss, but Zhang Shixin believed that he might not be able to win the battle just by relying on the Tiger King.

Only the Sino-Tanzanian formations that have paid heavy casualties deserve the best commendation.

He did not attack the camp of the GLP Alliance again, but after gathering his troops, he prepared to wait for the next fighter.

This stop is the first official battle of the King Tiger tank in this world.

"It was successful, except that the mobile surname could be a little unsatisfactory." This is Zhang Shixin's evaluation of it.

In addition, what he didn't know was that inside the other King Tiger tank, Firay looked at O'Nina with a smile and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
