Chapter 32: The Blue Flame (2)
Words written before the editor:
Concrete-destroying bombs, in themselves, refer to a special type of aerial bomb, but here they become a type of shells that can be used even by tanks.
The principle was also explained in the previous chapter, and it is mainly a variant of a deshelling shell, with a weak shell on the outside and a high-explosive shell with a certain power on the inside.
Unlike shell-piercing shells, concrete-destroying shells have a fuse inside the inner shell, which has no primer, only a firing fuse.
At the same time, in order to ensure a certain power, the range of concrete-destroying shells is a little closer than that of ordinary shells. Because it is necessary to ensure a certain charge factor.
As for the principle of destruction, it is similar to shelling armor-piercing shells, but it is more effective for buildings. When the perimeter of the building is attacked, the concrete destruction projectile penetrates a hole in the outer wall of the building that is a little larger than the caliber, and penetrates or hits an object that is enough to detonate the shell, such as a load-bearing pillar at a strong point, and the concrete destruction projectile will easily destroy the object within the explosion range.
In general, armor-piercing shells can also have a penetrating effect on the exterior walls of buildings, but shells that penetrate too deeply will directly penetrate both walls, and the shells do not know where to go.
As for high-explosive shells, they will be reversed, and in many cases they will only cause damage to the exterior wall of the building, and it is difficult to damage the interior of the building.
So, I've added a new shell type here, mainly to better use the tank's ability to destroy buildings.
Below is the text.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Dividing Line................................................
Zhang Shixin's E-75 is now leading a group of tank fighting vehicles and infantry armored vehicles that are hiding behind to cover and slowly move forward.
Zhang Shixin naturally knew that he might be attacked by the enemy's concentrated firepower if he did this, but the heavy tank itself relied on its own defense ability to attract the opponent's firepower, and then with the support of the opponent, tore through the defensive lines.
Behind the E-75 are several IS-3s, which keep a certain distance from the E-75, since they will not hinder the movement of the E-75, they will not become the target of fire for themselves, and at the same time, they can also provide some cover for the troops behind.
Zhang Shixin's arrangement is mainly because in the street fighting, Zhongtan and Qingtan act as assault arrows, which is simply to send them to death.
Although the defense capabilities of the T-54/55 and Type 59 are good, Zhang Shixin is still not very worried that the other party is too forward, because the other side has many weapons that do not play much role against the E-75 and IS-3, but for these medium-sized tanks, they may bring them a fatal blow.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin reversed his previous tactics and let the E-75 act as a meat shield, and then tore apart the defensive points on the street.
On the front armor of the E-75, I don't know how many shells and guns were hit, but Zhang Shixin found one point, that is, the opponent did not use howitzers with a caliber of more than 155mm, and the front armor of the E-75 was basically completely immune to the anti-tank weapons that the opponent had appeared.
What 76mm infantry rapid-fire guns, what 90mm anti-tank guns, what 105mm infantry howitzers, in front of the thick armor plates of the E-75, are floating clouds.
The E-75 is now firing more at some 105mm howitzers that may pose a threat to the E-75.
Although Zhang Shixin tried twice, even if the front armor plate of the hull was hit by a 105mm high-explosive shell, perhaps because of the problem of charge, the E-75 did not suffer any damage.
It is true that the E-75 has weaknesses, but in reality, few people will deliberately aim at the crotch or turret periscope.
The thickness of the lower armor plate is relatively weak, but the closer this position is, the more difficult it is to penetrate because of the angle. Many times, the shells were bounced off because the angle of penetration was too far off.
In addition, there are many tanks that actually have two layers of armor plates at the bottom, one is the outer protection plate, and the other is in front of the gearbox. So, sometimes, even if you penetrate the outer armor plate, it is actually possible for the tank to not be damaged.
At the same time, the E-75's first attack was not as fragile as in the game, because the German panzer units were so badly pitted by those who had the experience of breaking the engine/gearbox with a single shot. So, naturally, the Germans learned their lesson, not to mention the E-75, and even the head of the Tiger King was much stronger than in the game.
There are many places in the game that have been modified, but Zhang Shixin knows that if the Tiger King is so easy to penetrate, then there is no famous saying from the allies:
"Until the end of the war, we still can't find any way to destroy the Tiger King head-on."
Obviously, the Allies also tried to fight the idea of the Tiger King's head, but failed.
In addition, the opposing gunners did not have the time to easily target the weak points of the E-75, so the E-75 became a solid wall in the war, protecting the wingmen behind it.
It was also not without the enemy, uncharacteristically, wishing to interrupt the tracks of the E-75, hindering its advance.
But the E-75 did not advance alone, but with a small brother, so these enemies often did not aim at the target, and were sent to the western sky by several shells of different calibers.
β¦β¦
The task of armored vehicles is to carry infantry units, as well as to kill and injure the opponent's infantry, so they are mixed in Zhang Shixin's tank unit and accompany the troops.
When an armored vehicle arrives at an artillery building marked that they cannot destroy, the infantry on the vehicle rush into the building with explosives packs or blasting canisters on their backs.
The explosives bags are actually C4, Zhang Shixin didn't really use those black explosives in order to save money, not to mention that the power is not good, and besides, those things don't have the function of timing or remote control blasting, Zhang Shixin naturally can't look down on it.
As for the blasting canister, it is sometimes better than the C4. For example, making a few holes in the load-bearing columns of a building and inserting a few blasting canisters to detonate it is sometimes more practical than a large number of C4s.
It's just that their trip will naturally not be too smooth.
Because there are also many enemies defending these buildings.
A group of soldiers, after rushing into a small two-story processing plant, encountered a dozen enemy soldiers rushing down, so one of the soldiers at the head quickly shot the AK-74 in his hand.
After the other party was shot and killed a few comrades, they also fought back bravely, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in this corridor.
The opponent's weapons could not effectively penetrate the concrete wall, but the AK-74's bullets, due to the increase of technology, after a summoner replaced with tungsten steel bullets, caused several teammates to leave the wall and shoot the bullets diagonally towards the wall......
However, when the soldier was about to change the bullet, he suddenly saw a grenade rolling down in front of him......
"Damn! ......" after the standard prophecy, there is no more......
β¦β¦
As time passed, while Zhang Shixin's troops were advancing steadily and slowly, the enemy's heavy tanks, which were slower than turtle climbing, appeared in front of their eyes.
Zhang Shixin hurriedly asked the troops to retreat slightly behind the street, and then called for fire support.
The gunners of several self-propelled guns had just finished firing a shell, and after receiving an order from the head of the artillery group to carry out a support shelling, shouted: "High-explosive shells!" β
Zhang Shixin did not let the self-propelled artillery unit be equipped with too many armor-piercing shells, because he believed that the armor-piercing shells were carrying out long-distance support, and the range was not so far, and more importantly, with the accuracy of long-distance shelling, if these shells could not hit the target, they would basically be useless at all, so Zhang Shixin just let the self-propelled artillery be equipped with about five armor-piercing shells for self-protection.
Therefore, self-propelled artillery is more equipped with high-explosive shells, and this time the situation is a bit special, there are a certain number of shells that are concrete-destroying shells, but the largest number is still high-explosive grenades.
After receiving instructions from the gunner, the loader waited for the chamber to be cleared, then he slipped a high-explosive shell into the chamber and quickly closed the door.
A few seconds later, several more shells were fired from different areas.
β¦β¦
The shelling support of self-propelled guns arrived in the predetermined area after more than ten seconds......
It's just that Zhang Shixin heard the sound of popping beans on the left. I was a little speechless in my heart.
Naturally, he could guess why.
A few dozen meters away, a partially destroyed house was damaged again, and some flying stones were splashed on the side of the E-75's turret, and a sound like popping beans sounded.
However, instead of paying attention to this, he stared at the corner of the street in front of him.
Zhang Shixin saw two heavy tanks appear more than thirty meters in front of the E-75 almost at the same time, and then the front of the hull of a heavy tank seemed to be pierced by something, and then the turret of this heavy tank was quickly blown into the sky, and then fell to the ground.
"Is this all right?" Zhang Shixin was a little dumbfounded, because he knew that with the opponent's size, the power of the armor-piercing bullet was unlikely to explode the opponent so quickly.
But the penetration depth of the high-explosive bomb is not so powerful.
Zhang Shixin didn't dwell on such a situation, because what surprised him even more was still to come.
Another heavy tank of the enemy army, with the barrel pointed at the side of Zhang Shixin's E-75, then quickly fired shells.
Two seconds later, Zhang Shixin was surprised to receive a system prompt that a WZ-131 had exploded off the ammunition rack.
Zhang Shixin also noticed that more than two hundred meters behind the E-75, a diamond-shaped symbol had disappeared.
"This is too, Chongtan prioritizes the enemy's heavy tanks!" Zhang Shixin knew that the frontal defense capability of the WZ-131's turret was still good, but in such a situation, the ammunition rack was still blown off by the opponent, which indicated:
"It's not HT, it's TD."
It's just that Zhang Shixin is even more helpless that a certain messenger actually conveyed his words as they were......
Well, Hinia's laughter had already sounded in Zhang Shixin's mind.
β¦β¦
These heavy tanks encountered by Zhang Shixin are essentially a TD equipped with powerful tank guns, but the armored defense and mobility of these things are really not good, when the two IS-3s moved to the side of the E-75 where Zhang Shixin was, ready to act together, several heavy tanks appeared in front of Zhang Shixin's eyes at another street corner, but the speed was really slow.
Several of the Heavy Tanks turned their turrets, but before they could finish turning their turrets, several AMX-13s thrust into the gap between the IS-3 and E-75 with their small size.
Five seconds later, the AMX-13s fired three shells and quickly reversed......
Zhang Shixin was a little crying and laughing at such a situation, but when he saw that these enemy heavy tanks were actually beaten to a halt, and then, the crew members of a tank quickly abandoned the car and fled, Zhang Shixin thought suspiciously: "What kind of trouble is this?" β
Zhang Shixin got the answer after a few seconds, because he had already seen the black smoke rising from some of the open top covers.
"......" Zhang Shixin didn't know whether to meet these enemies for himself, and he should show a look of happiness or worry for such a situation.
Fortunately, the reason is that among the tanks and combat vehicles that Zhang Shixin is equipped with now, it seems that the firepower of the AMX-13 is the weakest, but the situation just now shows that the opponent's heavy tank, protection ability and mobile surname are really not good.
The reason for the worry is that the opponent's firepower seems to be very strong.
At this time, Zhang Shixin also received a 59-type driver who was shot dead by the other party, and the commander quickly extinguished the fire caused by the destruction of the gearbox, and quickly pulled away the dead driver and drove the tank to a safer place.
"Broken gearbox and killed the driver, is this HT?" Zhang Shixin thought helplessly, but then the attacking troops encountered the enemy heavy tanks that kept appearing, and Zhang Shixin had to change his tactics again and destroy these heavy tanks first.
"Elephant Style, Tiger Hunting, Assault Tiger King all come forward with me! Other troops, looking for opportunities to cover us. Zhang Shixin said this instruction.
Grelian was a little curious about the naming of Zhang Shixin's troops, those tanks and combat vehicles, because she didn't know what such a complicated naming was all about.
However, since she was acting as a correspondent, she once again conveyed Zhang Shixin's words.
After a while, there were a lot of tanks in the team retreating, but they did this so that the troops in the middle and rear of the group could move forward.
The Tiger Hunter and Elephant at the back of the line were approaching, while some of the Medium Tanks were covering the S tank destroyers stuck in some street positions, and were being assaulted by enemy troops.
From time to time, some gunshots and screams were heard from the buildings on both sides of the street......
The Tiger Hunter and the Elephant were still on their way, however, an Assault Tiger King had replaced the retreating IS-3 and appeared behind the side of the E-75.
Zhang Shixin asked the driver to drive the E-75 into the middle of the street, and two heavy tanks of the enemy army fired at the E-75.
One shell missed, and one shell smashed into the E-75's gun shield, forcing it to explode.
Zhang Shixin's ears were buzzing, but he still said, "Miss Hilton, are you okay?" β
"It's okay, where the hell did your tank come from, I feel that you are not an ordinary person." Although Grelian said so verbally, Zhang Shixin knew that the other party should not be comfortable.
The gunner quickly locked onto an enemy heavy tank, then aimed the middle of the reticle at the enemy's hull and pressed the launch button.
"Bang ......"
"Reverse!" Zhang Shixin quickly gave instructions to the driver.
The E-75 slowly retreated, and Zhang Shixin didn't have the energy to pay attention to the heavy tank hit by the E-75, because he knew that he had to be careful in the face of these heavy tanks that were actually TD.
However, when he saw the other heavy tank continuing to swing the turret, hoping to lock on to the E-75, Zhang Shixin showed a smile.
The E-75 retreated into the street again, but the gunner and commander of the opposing team saw a thing carrying a huge cannon, and the deep muzzle was facing them.
"Reversing !!"
This commander is not stupid, he naturally knows that the assault Tiger King is not something to mess with just by looking at the caliber of the artillery.
It's just that he only gave the order to reverse now, and it was too late......
The gunners of the assault Tiger King, by this time, had already put the crosshairs on the turret of this heavy tank.
For vehicles that use high-explosive shells, aiming the turret is more effective than aiming at the hull.
The gunner quickly pressed the launch button, and the 280mm high-explosive shell quickly came out of its disembowel......
In less than a second, the turret of the heavy tank was hit by a 280mm high-explosive shell, and then, the violent kinetic energy of the explosion broke the barrel, the gun shield was also blown off, and the front of the turret and the opposite hull were torn apart......
When the smoke cleared, only a sliced and exposed part of the front of the heavy tank remained, and the upper part of the turret had flown off, and only the turret base could still be seen.
There were even a few wheels in front of the car that were still rolling slowly down the street, and the engine in the rear was burning, and some of the torn and flying steel plates were sinking deep into the faΓ§ade of the building on one side......
Although it is said that the other party has not been completely smashed into a part state, it is estimated that it will be more practical to take such a wreckage back to the furnace......
The Assault Tiger King was also slowly retreating at this time, and the gunner was very satisfied with his performance, and was now watching the two loaders work together to reload the shells......
The battles at this time, almost along a line, were stalemate with each other from east to west.
Zhang Shixin's troops, because of the enemy's impenetrable tanks and combat vehicles to fight them, constantly disappeared their signals from Zhang Shixin's tactical map.
But while Zhang Shixin was directing the battle, he watched the white punctuation in some buildings disappear with their advance, and he felt a little helpless.
Naturally, he knew that those little white dots were just some civilians working here, but he had already ordered this attack and killed anyone he saw.
For Zhang Shixin, these people should not have to die in the war, but since they appeared here, they had to add some not very glorious achievements to him for this battle.
There is no reward for killing civilians, but there is no punishment either.
But Zhang Shixin had to do it. Because he knows very well that the people who work here often have some craftsmanship.
It's just that just like this, the order was given to kill, and Zhang Shixin seemed to see the corpses of some children and old people in that small fishing village being gradually devoured in the flames.
"......" Zhang Shixin knew that killing the people who are working here now was not wrong in many senses.
Because this time, he is here to sabotage the other side's war potential.
He saw on the tactical map that some workers were hiding in houses with his family......
But when a few summoners saw them, the signal of the little white dots quickly disappeared......
He didn't know if he was going to hell, but when he looked up, he saw that Grelian was also looking at him.
Zhang Shixin then said: "I do this...... Is it wrong? β
"You're right, it's this war that's wrong." Grelian gave him a smile.
"Thank you......" Zhang Shixin's heart was touched, he just said these two words......
However, Zhang Shixin's face once again revealed a trace of firm confidence: "That's right, since he has embarked on this road, it will be difficult for him to turn back, so ......"
"The whole army will tear through the opponent's defensive line as soon as possible, we can't delay here for too long!" Zhang Shixin gave the order to attack......
Grailian quickly conveyed Zhang Shixin's instructions.
At this time, the battle entered a white heat......
ps: Well, let's write the protagonist a little bit of flesh and blood, after all, this is a war novel, war, there are many things that cannot be changed by one person or two people.
It's like Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 Zhao troops, leaving behind infamy through the ages, but if you don't kill those Zhao troops, in the Battle of Changping, Qin might as well simply admit defeat at the beginning......
Raising, the Qin State does not have that ability, and the 400,000 troops are likely to mutiny, who is responsible?
Put it back, that's the brain-dead idea.
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, ask for fans, and in November, everyone will urge you to change it casually, and it's a big deal to make 12,000 a day.
