Chapter 4: The Battle of Gelsarin (4)

What can be done in a town street fight?

A lot.

What can't be done?

Again, a lot.

Sinia rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense?" ”

Zhang Shixin shook his head, and then said lightly: "It can't be said to be nonsense, what can be done in street fighting...... It's not one or two people who have the final say, but a combat strategy based on tactical requirements. ”

"What can be done and what can't be done is often a boundary between whether the town needs to retain a certain degree of integrity. They also do not have a choice of their own. ”

"It's like planting bombs on the sides of a street, setting anti-personnel grenade traps in houses, and so on, and you can't say all at once whether such a thing should be done or should not be done. After all, they have a premise, that is, whether the town will continue or not. ”

"If the city is still to be used as a residential area, then this kind of thing cannot be done in many cases because of the troubles in the aftermath."

"But if, before the battle, it is determined that this town is no longer qualified as a settlement, then such a thing can be decided by itself, and how big it is."

Zhang Shixin said this, then choked several times, and couldn't help roaring: "Damn, you bastards, don't let me find your artillery position!" ”

As soon as Zhang Shixin finished speaking, after a shock, a layer of dust was shaken down again, making him choke half to death......

………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................

In a relatively safe environment, armored vehicles kept interspersing the receiving areas that Zhang Shixin's troops had firmly controlled, while the King Tiger tank and the IS tank were on the streets, pulling abandoned tanks to form irregular obstacles on the streets and slow down the attack speed of the opponent's armored forces.

Although such an approach may also provide a certain degree of fire impediment to the defending forces, if the enemy's tank units are easily and suddenly in the streets, the infantry will not be very effective.

So Zhang Shixin did this, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

The purpose of those armoured vehicles is to distribute weapons, ammunition and war materiel.

Zhang Shixin only made one change to the weapons of the defense and siege battles, that is, a team can get several Thunder Deng M870 shotguns as self-defense weapons.

This semi-automatic shotgun, as the leader of semi-automatic shotguns, naturally has a very good performance. However, long barrels can sometimes be difficult to combat in street fighting, but sawing off the barrel will greatly reduce the range of the weapon.

Originally, the effective range of this thing was between 50 meters and 70 meters, and if you reduce the distance, what is the use of this thing in battle?

Zhang Shixin thought about it for a while, but still maintained the same. After all, a shotgun that does not have a certain range is sometimes no better than a large-caliber pistol.

Just ask, in the range of a pistol, more people choose a pistol, or other firearms?

Zhang Shixin thinks this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but the hit rate of shotguns and pistols is much higher than that of pistols, but with the barrel length of the Thunder M870, it is true that there is no pistol convenience in combat.

As a result, each squad will be able to receive a decent number of shotguns.

Shotguns are not very effective against body armor, but against unprotected soldiers, the lethal effect at effective range can be very large.

In this world, Zhang Shixin has not seen a large-scale installation of body armor.

As for why he didn't install body armor, it was mainly because the body armor in World War II was not very effective, and it was too heavy, for the summoners, this weight did not affect the combat effect, but for those recruits, Zhang Shixin knew that the body armor was likely to affect their combat efficiency.

The weapons that Zhang Shixin found in the dungeon still have some M16, but ...... The M16 is not as good as the AK-74, this is naturally a fact.

Zhang Shixin also learned something about the situation of the Vietnam War.

It's like the Americans have an AK-47 and they don't use the M16.

Therefore, there is a basis for Zhang Shixin not to have a good impression of this thing.

NATO-standard guns, Zhang Shixin is less eye-catching, M4 gun family, MP5 gun family is Zhang Shixin's more eye-catching.

There would have been an FN-FAL automatic rifle of Belgian origin. But after Zhang Shixin has M14, this thing has no sense of existence.

The M14 can be upgraded to the M14-EBR, which is superior to the FAL in all respects except for the rate of fire, and for a light semi-automatic sniper rifle, a magazine of 20 rounds is completely sufficient.

……

In addition to shotguns, these armored vehicles have a lot of combat weapons on them.

Anti-infantry mines, S2 anti-personnel grenades, C4 plastic explosives (a weakened version, of course, a little less powerful than a TNT of the same weight)......

These are just gadgets, and Zhang Shixin also purchased a very special thing......

Goliath remote-controlled bombs.

Each infantry squad has five of these things, it's not that Zhang Shixin doesn't want to be equipped with too much, but this thing, Zhang Shixin's number of them, is more to confirm the combat effect of this thing.

Therefore, in the rumbling of artillery, Zhang Shixin's troops used these combat materials more to consolidate the defense efficiency of the occupied areas.

Anti-infantry mines were more often planted on the sides of the streets, and some soldiers pried open the wooden floors of houses, buried mines inside, and then covered the floors again.

No one knows what the effect of this is, but well, Zhang Shixin doesn't know about it, and even if he knows, he won't say anything.

What is often unexpected will also achieve unexpected results.

A large number of S2 anti-personnel grenades were arranged as fixed traps, causing casualties to nearby personnel.

Most of the traps are placed in the houses, and only a few are placed in the ruins.

As for the C4 plastic explosives, they became remote-controlled detonators, strapped to Goliath's remote-controlled tanks filled with small steel balls.

Zhang Shixin didn't know if this was an overkill, but he himself also had an attitude of observing the effect of such a situation. So he didn't have much to say.

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

About ten minutes after the shelling ended, when Zhang Shixin's fire countermeasures had not ended, the second wave of the coalition offensive began to be launched.

Some infantry squads on the perimeter, equipped with walkie-talkies, were tasked not with fighting, but with as much concealment as possible in areas with good visibility, guiding artillery attacks.

The artillery unit that Zhang Shixin can use now is 27 S-51 self-propelled guns, and they lock a straight road from south to north in units of four or five.

The coalition forces that have occupied the main part of the town, their main routes of march are these roads, so let the S-51 self-propelled guns carry out the fire blockade mission of these roads.

He also did not expect that the shelling of these self-propelled guns alone would be able to contain the enemy's offensive.

But no matter what, if he can give full play to his combat power, Zhang Shixin's combat mission will last longer.

He didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive, and the original garrison was almost wiped out, Zhang Shixin naturally knew that these troops could not be sent, so in the first battle, he let them retreat.

Five thousand people are facing several times or even more than ten times the enemy, Zhang Shixin said that he is not worried, of course it is fake, but at the moment, he has no better choice.

It doesn't matter if it's to catch the ducks on the shelves, or it's okay to say he's stupid, but he feels like he needs to do it anyway, that's why he's here.

"Maybe I'll die here, but my life hasn't been lost so easily." Zhang Shixin looked at the dense red dots that appeared on the tactical map, and took a deep breath: "The second step of the battle begins!! ”

……

Accompanied by Zhang Shixin's order, the S-51 self-propelled guns began their own roars in Hawkeye mode.

The 203mm high-explosive bombs immediately came out of their disembowels and flew towards their landing points with a whistling motion.

After the S-51 self-propelled gun was fired, the crew members were busy with their work.

Due to the lack of technical support, the two loaders had to reload the propellant after cleaning the barrel and loading the shells.

So, after more than fifty seconds, they were able to carry out a second shelling.

Although the power of the 203mm shell is good, the average combat efficiency is much worse than that of the Panther self-propelled gun.

As for the Tiger P self-propelled rocket artillery, Zhang Shixin had no intention of letting them directly carry out fire support, because of that kind of accuracy, Zhang Shixin had reason to suspect that when a wave of rockets flew over, his own people might suffer more casualties than the enemy.

After all, street battles are too close to each other.

……

Most of the first wave of 203mm shells fell in the marching enemy formation, and the formation was suddenly smashed out by 203mm craters of more than 6 meters, as well as about 25 meters of broken effective kill area, causing heavy casualties.

The casualties of the coalition infantry were very heavy, and even if the soldiers who were slightly close to the crater did not die, they were severely injured by the shock wave, and they were almost completely incapacitated, and could only wait for death in pain or fainting.

Some soldiers killed and wounded by the shell fragments ended up much better than soldiers who did not suffer from the fragments, but were killed and injured by the impact.

Because they are not too painful to die, or can still live with a certain probability.

Some of the soldiers hiding behind the tank armored vehicle, as long as they are not in the direct hit position of the shell range, then except for some unlucky soldiers, everyone else is more or less scratched by the fragments of the shell, or the tympanic membrane is broken, causing a short period of fainting.

As for tanks and armored vehicles, they were also hit to varying degrees.

A shell landed in front of an armored troop carrier, and when the smoke cleared, the armored vehicle's tracks were completely broken, the front of the hull was blackened, and the position actually moved back a few meters, jumping out of the crater range.

Some soldiers tried to rescue their colleagues in the armored car, but their officer stopped them, and one soldier asked why they were stopped, and the officer sighed lightly, and said: "All the people inside are dead, although the armored car does not seem to have exploded, but the people inside are all shocked to death, and nothing else." ”

The soldier had no choice but to abandon his actions.

A heavy tank was smashed directly into the top cover by a 203mm high-explosive shell, which directly penetrated the top layer of the turret armor of the heavy tank.

Less than a second later, the tank was torn in two by a violent explosion. Flying parts or spewing red and blue flames directly killed the infantry within a few meters of the tank.

The other heavy tank looked to be doing better, because a 203mm shell landed in an area about 3 meters behind his left side, and the left track of this tank was shattered, and then it got stuck in the crater and did not move.

The experienced officers also stopped the rescue operation of their subordinates, because they knew very well that the crew members of these big guys were also shocked to death in the hull.

Although it seemed that nothing had happened, the tank had not survived the explosion of shells of this power at close range, and nothing in it had survived.

It's not that they don't want to rescue the crew, but they can't save it.

This scene, on several other streets, also happened in a similar situation.

This is just the first wave of shelling, and what they have to experience is more shelling, or hellish neighborhoods.

……

However, in Zhang Shixin's mind, they are more of symbols, directly or indirectly disappearing in pieces.

Even those streets were littered with dead and wounded, and the corpses and limbs were scattered all over the ground......

What does this have to do with him?

"Since you are a soldier, dying on the battlefield is the best destination. If you don't have this awareness, then don't be a soldier. ”

Zhang Shixin thought coldly about such a thing. He also knows very well that there are no immortals in war. He was not an idealist, and he was able to see very much even in his own death.

However, he did not want war to happen.

Since it had already happened, he just tried his best to face it.

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

In another area, the coalition's light tank formation finally reached an area two kilometers in front of Zhang Shixin's self-propelled artillery formation.

However, this team of light tanks definitely didn't expect that Zhang Shixin had already laid out a net waiting for them.

Twenty-seven AMX-13 (90mm) light tanks and 45 armored vehicles with 20mm guns awaited them.

The battle power ratio was about 2 to 1, and most of Zhang Shixin's ambush troops also entered the shooting position with good visibility.

It can be said that Zhang Shixin's troops have the upper hand.

Whether it's the comparison of combat power, or the geographical location.

Not to mention, another group of about 18 AMX-13 (90mm) light tanks is circling to the flanks of this pair of light tanks. Look for opportunities to flank the opponent.

Zhang Shixin can be said to be full of confidence in this ambush battle, although it is unrealistic to expect to defeat the other party. After all, the defense of the AMX-13 light tank, as well as armored vehicles, is there. Expecting that the weak armor could be intact, Zhang Shixin could only say that the opponent's troops were too pig-headed.

So, his understanding of this skirmish is:

Even if you can't win completely, you all have to give me a big win. Otherwise, where would I put this face?

Zhang Shixin's mind is entirely on the urban area, because compared to the ambush operation in the other direction, the urban area is the focus of the focus.

"Fortunately, everything that should be prepared is ready...... Zhang Shixin looked at the red punctuation points on the tactical map that began to disperse and advance, and clenched his fists hard......

ps: I'll go, go on a blind date and come to the house, my mother is so talented...... 5555555, I want to run away tomorrow.
