Naturally, Zhang Shixin's E-50M formation took the lead, and they formed a wedge-shaped charge lineup, with two E-50Ms taking the lead, and the other E-50Ms maintaining an offensive formation as much as possible.

Because the charging range of more than 20 E-50M vehicles also exceeds the width of more than 300 meters, in this case, the terrain is undulating, which will naturally make the formation appear a little scattered.

And behind the E-50M, there is a large number of tank armored vehicles.

They were at a distance of more than 50 meters from the E-500m in front so as not to be easily surrounded by the enemy in the event of some unpreparedness.

The Lorraine 155-50/51 and a large number of Wild Bee self-propelled guns followed behind the charging formation, providing fairly strong mobile fire support.

The horizontal firing angle of these things is not very good, but it is undeniable that they play a role as a mobile support artillery, which is difficult for Zhang Shixin to find fault with.

The rate of fire is good, the amount of self-contained ammunition is high, and the maneuverability is better than many light tanks. At the same time, the power of the shell is higher than that of the 150mm shell of the wild bee.

Such a mobile self-propelled artillery has become Zhang Shixin's first choice to completely replace the wild bee self-propelled artillery.

Although the armor protection and the inferior concealment effect brought by the tall hull are the biggest drawbacks, at the same time, the horizontal firing angle is not very good, which can be a big or small problem.

However, in addition to the weapon carrier vehicle such as WT, Zhang Shixin rummaged through a large number of self-propelled guns, and there were quite few things that met this standard.

The self-propelled guns of the Chadilon series, although they also have a burst system, and at the same time have a considerable amount of ammunition. But the chassis, whose weight can almost be ignored, is a death sentence for this thing.

Of the other known artillery of all kinds, none of the American ones can compare with the Lorraine 155-50/51 in this respect, let alone the German ones. Despite the existence of weapon carriers (WTs), and the fact that most WTs have good mobile surnames, weapon carriers with zero ammunition have apparently lost their ability to serve as mobile support self-propelled guns.

Because you can't just stop and reload these WTs after they finish their magazines.

The closest thing to such a presence is the 261/263 multifunctional self-propelled guns of the S series.

Zhang Shixin prefers the 263 project equipped with howitzers, because his defense capability is much better than that of the 261 project. As for the mobile surname, there is not much difference between the two, except that the 261 project, which has a lighter overall weight, is a little better.

In other respects, there are in fact no other noticeable differences between the two after they are equipped with artillery of the same data.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin was more inclined to replace the Lorraine 155-50/51 with Project 263 and become a mobile support artillery for standard equipment.

According to the game and the perception in reality, Zhang Shixin divided the artillery into three types.

One is the fixed-point strike type of artillery, which is mainly not mobile but fierce.

GW Tiger P, S-51 and so on are all such categories.

Most of the special artillery that appeared later can also be classified into this category.

One is a multi-functional artillery that can become an assault gun, this thing doesn't have to be too good, as long as it's not too bad, the firepower is not necessarily much better than the fixed-point strike artillery, and it can maintain the threat to the enemy.

This thing focuses more on armor defense, because the assault gun does not have a certain defensive ability, and even if the firepower is good, the assault gun that is exchanged with the enemy is not a good assault gun.

Obviously, the Su-152 and the ISU-152 have failed in this regard, if it weren't for the fact that the threat of the L-10 is too great and the lethality is too strong, Zhang Shixin would have to advance the replacement plan.

The representative of this type of artillery is the Assault King Tiger. The defense is good, the firepower is strong, and the mobile surname can meet the needs of being an assault gun, so to speak, in addition to the reloading problem, the Assault Tiger King is an assault multi-purpose gun that is much better than the ISU-152 (**L-10).

The last one is a gun with fairly good maneuverability. Their advantage is not in their own firepower, but in their ability to maneuver.

Zhang Shixin looks down on those high-mobility artillery that only knows how to defend the point in the game, you are not without mobility, when the battlefield needs your support, the effect of fixed-point strikes is far less good than the artillery shooting that closes the relative position.

The shortening of the distance is not only a reduction in the flight time of artillery shells, but also a rather important factor. That is, the distance is shortened, and the ratio of the accuracy of the artillery is even smaller.

For example, the accuracy of the gun is also 0.75 per 100 meters, and the accuracy of 1,000 meters and 500 meters are 7.5 meters and 3.25 meters respectively.

Therefore, the mobile surname of the artillery, sometimes close the distance, their actual DPM is much better than the artillery of the fixed-point strike.

There are also a lot of such artillery in the system, but in fact, what makes Zhang Shixin look up to it is only the wild bee, Lorraine 155-50/51 and 261/263 two multi-functional self-propelled guns.

The accuracy of these three self-propelled guns is quite good, and at the same time, the latter two tanks have a greater dead weight, and their output is more stable than that of the Wild Bee, which means that their actual hit rate is much better than that of the Wild Bee.

Although in terms of mobile surnames, the mobility ability of wild bees is much better than the latter two, but Zhang Shixin eliminated the idea of continuing to install wild bees, mainly because he thought that mobile support self-propelled artillery, and it would not make much sense if the mobile surname was too good.

Therefore, after the Lorraine 155-50/51, which has a higher actual combat efficiency, appeared in Zhang Shixin's field of vision, it quickly became the first choice to replace the wild bees.

Although there is also an AMX-50 Foch repeating self-propelled gun, Zhang Shixin compared this car with the D series in terms of www.xstxt.org to blow up this car.

Therefore, Zhang Shi thought about it again and again and gave up the original plan.

At the same time, the WT project has an advantage, that is, the WT does not have a turret, so the corresponding modification cost is much lower than some conventional modifications.

Zhang Shixin, who has always struggled with costs, is naturally more inclined to WT projects with lower costs. At the same time, in addition to the incomparably pitiful setting that they do not carry ammunition, they are not suitable for TD in the game, as self-propelled guns, WT's field control output is more trustworthy than conventional artillery.

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

Fighting on the front line began at E-50M when the Osville Army troops were entrenched in the outskirts of Opérez.

The Oswelt Army deployed a considerable amount of heavy firepower in this area, but the E-50M crew was not stupid, and they could not stay where they were and wait for death, so after a little contact with the opposing perimeter troops, the E-50M quickly retreated and hid on both sides of some small dirt slopes.

"Call for fire support! Call for fire support!! "The commander of the E-50M asked the communicator to relay the information to the friendly forces behind.

It's just that the E-50M crew members couldn't easily move out of the dirt slope after enduring the shells fired at them by the defenders on the city walls, or exploding on the other side of the dirt slope, or flying directly over the turrets of these E-50Ms.

The enemy's firepower was so fierce that a commander observed the situation with the artillery mirror, and the probability of the artillery mirror being directly damaged by the shells was pitifully low, which illustrated the fierceness of the enemy's firepower.

A large number of artillery pieces of Zhang Shixin's troops were also suppressed, but because many of the enemy's artillery pieces were placed on the city wall, some of them were full-angle sealed batteries on the pillars of the city wall. Self-propelled guns shelled the enemy troops on the city walls at long distances, and the shells grazed the surroundings of the target and fell directly into the city.

The E-50M crew was quite depressed when they got this combat situation, but they also knew very well that even if the self-propelled guns could hit the target, they could not expect their fellow gunners to wipe out the enemy's city defense guns at once.

Hawkeye is not omnipotent, compared to the game in which players can see all the buildings in the battle area in the Hawkeye mode, but in reality, the area that has not been scouted, except for Zhang Shixin's tactical map, the gunner's Hawkeye mode is pitch black.

So, many people don't know what is going on behind the walls of Opérez.

In fact, the Oswelt army was armed with a large number of mortars of different calibers here, and used the firing characteristics of mortars to attack the E-50m hiding behind small dirt slopes.

Soon, hundreds of mortar shells continued to land in an area near the small dirt slope.

But more mortar shells exploded on the plain about a kilometer away from the city wall because of the range limit.

In this case, several E-50Ms were tragic.

It is true that the E-50M is equipped with lined armor plates, and these lined armor plates also play a very surprising effect, which is also true.

However, mortar shells with a caliber of more than 100mm are able to easily tear through the top of the E-50M, which is not equipped with lined armor plates, both on the top of the hull and on the top of the turret.

It's not that Zhang Shixin doesn't want to add lining to these two areas, but the system doesn't allow it. First, the suspension could not bear such a weight, and secondly, the addition of lining armor plates on top of some important parts that required good ventilation would make it necessary to modify important parts such as the tank engine.

Therefore, the system does not allow such modifications, and Zhang Shixin has nothing to say.

However, at this time, Zhang Shixin's subordinate E-50M was unlucky.

A 120mm mortar shell pierced the weak armor plate on the top of the turret, and although the mortar shell was much less powerful than a grenade of the same caliber, it was enough to detonate the E-50M's ammunition rack.

The commander of an E-50M next to him was glad that the front armor of his car had withstood a shell attack without damaging the hull, and the part of the armor plate that was hit was dented, but the next moment, he saw that the turret of the wingman next to him was blown into the air several meters high due to the explosion of ammunition, and then fell behind his E-50M, and the barrel was even hung directly on the edge of the rear armor plate.

The commander glanced at the wreckage of the wingman that was constantly burning and sighed helplessly, because if the ammunition rack of a tank was blown up and the ammunition was destroyed, the crew members of a tank could almost be sentenced to death.

He was uncomfortable with the situation, but the mortar fire of the Osville army was quite fast, and it was obvious that the other side wanted to destroy the E-50M troops in front of them in one fell swoop, even if the barrel was overheated and there was a danger of exploding.

Naturally, the E-50M was not going to be left alone, and the commanders gave orders to the driver to reverse and leave.

Most of them were unscathed, and a small number of the less damaged E-50M rolled over the crater, and the body staggered and slowly retreated backwards.

The E-50M crew communicators in retreat constantly asked the artillery units to give priority to those mortars.

But most of the self-propelled gun commanders heard the gunners say: "We can't attack the enemy under the walls!! After that, the communicator could only reply to the E-50M crew: "We can't effectively attack the enemy!" Be careful yourselves!! ”

True, mortars have the advantage of being fired behind tall buildings, which are difficult to counter with curved fire.

The commanders of the E-50M were quite helpless when they learned of this situation, they did not mean to complain about their comrades, but they gritted their teeth with more and more hatred for these Osville troops.

Zhang Shixin's self-propelled artillery unit was indeed helpless against those mortars under the city wall, but the range of the opponent's mortars was also quite limited, and after the E-50M retreated more than 200 meters at the risk of certain losses, these mortar shells could not play an effective role.

Occasionally, a shell that may have a charge a little too much, even if it hits the top armor plate of the E-50M hull, the shell with a fairly serious attenuation of penetration depth cannot easily penetrate the armor plate with a thickness of only about 20mm, and can only force the explosion to cause some less serious damage.

Zhang Shixin did not have a good way to deal with this situation, so he could only let the artillery unit move forward under the protection of the escort troops, and strengthen the attack on the weapons arranged by the Osvell army on the city wall.

Those fully enclosed city defense batteries made Zhang Shixin quite helpless, because the top of that thing was directly immune to the penetration of 210mm armor-piercing bullets.

After Zhang Shixin got the news, he stayed for a while before roaring: "This thing TMD is a battleship turret!?" ”

What Zhang Shixin didn't know was that he was really right, the battery located on the pillar of the city wall was actually the main turret removed from the battleship.

If it weren't for the fact that this thing is really too heavy, and the pillars of the city wall may not be able to withstand the firing recoil of large-caliber naval guns, otherwise the one installed on it would not be a large-caliber howitzer that looks like it is about 240mm at most.

In fact, 210mm armor-piercing shells can't penetrate the armor plates of this thing, more because they have a long shooting distance and play the lowest penetration depth.

The range of armor-piercing shells is somewhat different from that of grenades. In fact, the AP shells fired by tank guns generally lose their penetrating ability at a range of about two thousand meters.

Heavy self-propelled guns also have this limitation, but the shells they fire are much longer, so the range of armor-piercing shells fired by the guns is relatively longer.

Zhang Shixin is not without the means to solve this thing, because his subordinate Assault Tiger King can exert an armor-piercing bullet that pierces 350mm at an average distance of 500 meters.

Can the opponent be immune to 350mm penetration?

Zhang Shixin didn't know, but Zhang Shixin only knew that no matter what, these assault tigers only had a chance to hit the opponent with one shot.

Although all kinds of heavy firepower arranged on the city wall have been gradually cleared, it is naturally not a big problem for the opponent's mortar group with a maximum range of about 1,300 meters to counterattack the assault Tiger King, which is only 500 meters away.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin knew that these assault tiger kings only had one chance to launch AP bombs.

But before putting this action into practice, Zhang Shixin got the news that the northern wall of Opérez City could not withstand the hits of hundreds of shells and was shattered.

The Union forces of the GLP are storming this gap regardless of casualties.

The GLP Alliance pursued the doctrine of artillery, and Zhang Shixin was also well aware that he also regarded this country as an otherworldly version of the Soviet Union, because the two countries had many striking similarities.

However, after blowing up a section of the city wall, it launched a fierce attack, and the GLP Alliance did not take the lives of its soldiers and officers seriously, and Zhang Shixin expressed a trace of helplessness about this.

It's just that Zhang Shixin also knows very well that there is no other better way for the other party to do this.

Because compared to the towering and strong walls, the heavy firepower placed on the walls is a difficult target for other countries to clean.

Without Eagle Eye, they can't effectively hit those heavy firepower, and the shells fired at the city, even if they have the coordinate correction of scouts, but if one of the ten shells can accurately fall to such a "little" position, the strength of those artillery is quite good.

Moreover, this is an unattainable figure, because they have to have more shells to hit that one shot accurately.

That's the biggest problem with blind shots.

The other shells that didn't hit either flew directly into the city of Opérez or smashed directly into the upper half of the city wall.

As a result, the GLP saw a breach open, and they had to charge with no regard for casualties in order to clear the heavy firepower as quickly as possible.

Once they take control of the walls, there will be more forces thrown into the battle for the walls.

Zhang Shixin couldn't say whether it was right or wrong to do this, but he didn't have the capital to do it, and the number of heavy artillery was too small.

Zhang Shixin, who relied on the accuracy improvement of the Eagle Eye as the main artillery bombardment aid, did not have the capital to waste hundreds or even thousands of shells on the city wall.

Besides, even if the city wall was blown down, what could he do?

Open the gap with the lives of its officers and soldiers like the GLP Alliance?

Zhang Shixin didn't think about directly collapsing the city gate, but there must be a large number of heavy troops behind the city gate to assist in defense, and the fire point on the city wall was not cleared, so he launched a fierce attack, such casualties were not acceptable to Zhang Shixin.

Although the battle has only been for a few hours now, Zhang Shixin's loss of troops is not much, but these losses have made Zhang Shixin feel quite sad.

He only knew that if such a stalemate continued, his shells would run out one day.

However, in the face of such a strong city wall, Zhang Shixin had no better way than to gradually clear out the enemy's heavy firepower points.

"Let the Assault King Tiger formation fire high-explosive grenades at the enemy's closed battery from 1,500 meters away, and after hitting a certain number, if the opponent still has combat capability, the Assault King Tiger will load armor-piercing shells and shell the target again in an area of 500 meters ahead!"

Zhang Shixin finally gave this order.

……

The range of the Assault King Tiger grenade is about 3,000 meters, and the penetration attenuation effect of the howitzer shell is much better than that of the armor-piercing projectile, and the distance of 1500 meters also ensures that the shooting accuracy of the Assault King Tiger will not be too bad.

Zhang Shixin's assault Tiger King formation has now expanded to six, and Zhang Shixin has sent all of them to almost the frontline position this time.

Behind the Assault Tiger King was six modified shell transport armored vehicles.

These armored vehicles differed from other multipurpose tracked armored vehicles in that the rear was an ammunition rack with an open top, on which 280mm shells were placed.

When the Assault Tiger King needs to be loaded, the loader of the ** crane will use the crane to set up the shell, and then carefully load it in the gun chamber.

Therefore, the Assault Tiger King is a rare super-heavy assault artillery, not a pure assault gun.

Assault Tigers also fall into this category, after all, Assault Tigers themselves do not carry shells.

The larger the caliber of the shell, the higher the requirements for the hull. Therefore, large-caliber self-propelled guns themselves are not equipped with shells.

One is because of the danger, and the other is because of the trouble of loading.

Take the T92 as an example, the game is equipped with two loaders, but in reality two loaders can afford to hold a standard 240mm grenade?

Dream to go.

T92 In reality, the entire crew of the gun reached thirty people, and it was necessary to use auxiliary vehicles for the loading of shells.

At the same time, there is another point, that is, the placement of the T92's shells is actually unreasonable, if someone hits it from the side, there is a high probability that the shell will fall on the armor floor, and then there will be a bloody incident of reimbursement by the crew members.

So, there are a lot of settings in some of them that are quite for reality.

The reload speed of the Assault Tiger King is about 40 seconds per round, which is about the same as the full skill T92 in the game.

Only two of the six shells fired one after another hit, but the other four shells landed in the city, theoretically causing huge casualties.

However, Zhang Shixin underestimated the power of the 280mm grenade, and two shells, one hit the opponent's gun shield, and the other directly hit the top cover of the battery.

Two huge fireballs appeared on the turret, and immediately, the two barrels of the turret were skewed, and the turret lost the ability to turn.

The commander of the assault Tiger King did not know that he had killed and wounded most of the Osville army in this battery, so after nearly fifty seconds, he fired another shell.

Because of the retreat of the E-50M, they also lost the basis for judging whether the opponent has lost its combat effectiveness.

However, before they could move on, an E-50M dispatched by Zhang Shixin quickly moved to a relatively hidden position to observe.

He saw what should have been a large red dot, but now it had turned into a gray sign of destruction, announcing that the batteries were no longer operational.

After Zhang Shixin got the news, he was slightly stunned, but this good news still made Zhang Shixin happy.

……

Messages from the four troops kept flying around, and Zhang Shixin also reported his progress almost truthfully to the troops of other countries.

But Zhang Shixin still has a certain selfishness, he does not want his troops to become the main target of resistance that attracts the Osvell army, he is waiting for an opportunity.

"The GLP Alliance has breached the gates!" Grelian said this in surprise.

Zhang Shixin glanced at Grelian and said lightly: "Now issue an order to let the troops rest for half an hour." ”

"You do this, don't be afraid ......" Who is Grelian? She immediately heard the meaning of Zhang Shixin's words.

Zhang Shixin shook his head: "Of course I'm afraid, but I can't let my subordinates lose too much." ”

Zhang Shixin and Grelian glanced at each other and nodded firmly. (To be continued.) )
