Chapter 16: Valencia's Elegy (Part II)

Thank you again for the monthly ticket support of the book friend Zizai Mountain.

Words written before the editor:

Yesterday I wrote about the skills of the gunner and the commander, so today I will talk about the remaining communicators, drivers and loaders.

There are more skills of communicators, and situational awareness has also been mentioned, so I won't talk about it here, but I note that this skill really doesn't increase the maximum visual range.

Next is the final wave. This skill is interesting because it increases the amount of time that enemies appear in view after the vehicle is destroyed by two seconds.

This skill was invented by the Immortal Uncomfortablesky...... In other words, this skill is useless until the vehicle is destroyed.

Also, according to a test I took with a friend a long time ago, this skill was also ineffective after the communicator died.

It can be said that this skill can recover a certain amount of damage at some point, because the light damage is still yours, but ...... Everyone knows that the shrinkage of the artillery is that in 2 seconds, it is not enough to let the artillery fire with confidence.

Therefore, the probability of being able to get back some car repair fees is also quite small......

Loving friends can learn from it.

Next is signal boosting.

This skill is recommended for those models that are really not good at the radio.,For example, AMX-ELC (the name in the game is ELC-AMX.,But after thinking about it, it's still written according to the arrangement of the company to the model),The power of the radio is scum.,This skill can make up for the shortcomings.。

For other models, there is no need to learn, because most of the models have enough radios to cope with all the battles on the map.

In a word, this skill belongs to the skills that will not affect the battle if you learn it or not.

Communication relay, this skill is not of much significance in many cases, because it belongs to the kind of enhanced version of signal enhancement, for example, an AMX-ELC reconnaissance in front, its radio power is only 400 meters, then, there is a communication relay vehicle in the back (no more than 400 meters), and the reconnaissance of the ELC can be known by other people further behind.

So, this skill is also quite frivolous, and it belongs to one of the skills that doesn't have much effect yet. However, after n years, maybe this skill will become a must-have skill......

As for what year n it is...... God knows.

There is also a theory that communication relay is to increase the communication capabilities of friendly vehicles within the communication range...... According to the literal meaning, this statement can already be regarded as another category of skills. Therefore, the wolf still takes its own analysis.

The skills of the driver can be said to be more practical. First of all, I think I must learn the skill of quick turning.

The effect of Quick Turn is that at 100% proficiency, it increases Turn Speed by 5%, which is also a bonus to Brothers in Arms, etc.

For example, a tank vehicle's steering per second is 20 degrees, and the steering per second of learning this skill is 21 degrees, plus any other skills or supplies that have an amplification effect on the driver, the tank vehicle's steering per second can reach 22 degrees or more.

Don't look at this little bit of bonus, for example, the steering of the No. 3 assault gun itself is quite good, after learning this skill, as long as it is not too sudden, the probability of being hit around is very small. And for cars that don't rev well, a little faster revs can help you get a little ahead of time and make more effective strikes against enemies.

Also, according to rumors, the quick turn has a bit of an effect on the turret's rotational speed......

Smooth driving (also known as walking on the ground), this skill is a difficult choice for many people, of course, the effect of smooth driving is not too good, and it is not necessary. For example, the terrain adaptation of a tank depends on the track parameters as well as the weight of the hull.

The late-stage tank track adaptation is good, and this skill can be used to enhance the wings of the tiger.

However, for relatively early tanks, such as Tiger or Tiger King, the effect of this skill is not very good.

It can be said that whether this skill is learned or not depends more on the model than on the hobby.

The ability to focus on crashing also depends on the model, and it is also quite good when paired with a smooth ride. However, this skill is not too easy to use. Because the impact effect depends more on the speed and weight of the vehicle, for example, a Chadilen-25T has learned this skill, and colliding with the E-50M is still a matter of self-defeat. It can be said that the scope of application of this skill is relatively narrow.

One of the keys to play this game is to keep in mind: never give up the advantage of enemies that can be solved with cannonballs.

Therefore, there is no need to learn to focus on hitting many cars, and most of them are either too light or too slow.

Engine maintenance is a skill that many cars must learn, especially the German zoo, which is known as the "lighter".

This skill, when paired with an automatic fire extinguisher, can effectively reduce ...... For example, if a suspension system (engine and gearbox) with a 20% chance of fire will have the following bonuses:

20%-20%x(0.25+0.1)=20%-20%x0.35=20%-7%=13%

Well, the actual chance of starting a fire in the end is 13%.

Well...... That being said, the probability of a fire depends more on RP, and sometimes a Tiger engine is beaten into a hornet's nest and breaks down n times, but it doesn't catch fire......

Sometimes, when a gun hits the enemy, the enemy is half burned to death, and the engine tank is not broken......

So, this skill still looks pretty good. It's just that when RP mixes rice and eats, Shenma's fixed data is a floating cloud......

Note that this skill doesn't work on the fuel tank, and if the fuel tank is pierced, the huge numbers that float up in a series are quite shocking.

Finally, the loader:

Regular ammunition is the favorite of models that are easy to be exploded ammunition racks, but even if this skill is paired with a water jacket, it plays more of a role than not breaking the ammunition rack, but not being directly exploded ammunition racks.

In this game, the bad place will still be easily damaged by hitting more than half of the HP, but compared to being shot in seconds, this skill can also be regarded as a means of self-protection.

Therefore, this skill can be learned first by lovers or friends in need.

Burst Reload...... Well, this skill is very RP-oriented, especially for slow reload cars, and if you can't bet that 15% RP, then you'll have to reload slowly.

However, now that the four fortunes are everywhere, there are many luck as dogs, and the outbreak of reloading may also bring surprises, and these things are immune to he...... You know.

Finally, there is the destruction of the ship.

This skill has a 9.1% reduction in reload time when HP is below 10%......

This skill looks pretty good, but for the average phenomenon, there are very few cases where the HP is less than 10%, and a car is knocked down to the point where he is almost hanging up many times......

It can be said that the destruction of the cauldron is more like a last resort to fight back, and it is still the kind that is difficult to use.

Of course, it's not that it's completely useless, but the conditions are just too harsh.

This skill is also a skill that you can learn with love.

Finally, there is the more general three-member skill.

Driver: Quick Steering + Repair / Camouflage / Smooth Driving / Engine Maintenance + Brothers in Arms + Repair / Fire Extinguishing / Engine Maintenance / Smooth Driving + Any.

Communicator: Repair/Camouflage + Perk Skill/Repair/Camouflage + Brothers in Arms + Perk Skill/Fire Extinguishing + Any.

Loader: Repair/Camouflage + Regular Ammo/Repair/Camouflage + Brothers in Arms + Perk Skill/Fire Extinguishing + Any,

Note, why is Band of Brothers a third ability?

In fact, the second skill is fine, but the first skill is not recommended, because the brothers of the first skill can't actually play even a little role for a long time.

In addition, skills such as loaders should be more general-purpose skills, because specialties are more effective on these personnel than general-purpose skills.

Below is the text.

……………………………………………… Body line................................................

In the history of this space, many people's understanding of the battle that broke out in Valencia comes from the memoirs of basically surviving veterans.

Among them, "The Elegy of Valencia", a memoir compiled from most of the memories of the officers of the Spanish regular army, the survivors of the Self-Defense Forces at that time, and members of the Italian army, became the heaviest of these memoirs.

……

The following is an excerpt from "The Elegy of Valencia", a recruit of the Self-Defense Forces at the time, a refugee from Malaga - Huls? Phillips, later as a young man as a major general of the Spanish Army's 2nd Armored Division.

In this book "Elegy of Valencia", he has a well-known passage:

"When war befalls us, we cannot hide from it, nor can we be passive. If you want to live, you have to change yourself. Because on the battlefield, you don't want to die, you have to learn to kill. If you don't kill, you'll die. ”

It is said that after the publication of this memoir, Phillips was silent for a long time.

No one knows what the current senior commander of the Spanish army, one of the less than one-third of the members of the Self-Defense Forces who were lucky enough to survive that war, was thinking......

But Phillips has turned his mind back to the battle decades ago.

Many people think that that battle is not worth mentioning in the history of war, but as a person who has experienced this war, he knows very well that there are many details of this battle.

……

At that time, Phillips, like many people, was unswerving about Zhang Shixin's order to massacre the people of Valencia who made trouble, but out of gratitude to Zhang Shixin, he, like many members of the Self-Defense Forces, ignored the occurrence of this incident.

The battle that appeared soon after let them know and understand Zhang Shixin's actions.

Because if there is still chaos at that time, this battle will not have to be fought again.

And at that time, he was guarding a house at the corner of the street with a few officers and soldiers who should be the young Chinese's subordinates......

There were quite a few friendly troops nearby, and he knew that very well. But for him, having not collapsed under the previous shelling of naval artillery, it can be said that he seems to have adapted to such an occasion.

In fact, no, at least...... When he first raised the Southern Type 38 rifle in his hand and shot at an Italian soldier, his hand was constantly shaking, so that the bullet did not know where it had hit. If it weren't for the fact that an unknown man next to him pushed him away, the bullet would have left a scar in his ear.

The pain in his ears made him feel a little angry in his heart. And when he wanted to thank the person, he found that the other person's neck had been pierced, lying on the dusty floor of the house and shaking, and the blood that kept coming out gradually formed a small puddle......

He knew that the other party had used his own life to save him......

A hint of guilt welled up in his heart: "If that bullet hadn't missed......"

Then, he resolutely faded out of the bullet case, and then leaned out of the windowsill again. But before he could shoot again, he spotted a tank rushing out of the street next to it, and the muzzle of the machine gun kept emitting fire.

In a matter of seconds, a squad of Italian troops on that street almost all died under the machine-gun guns of this tank.

When Phillips saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as if something was growing in his heart.

……

In fact, after the official start of the hand-to-hand battle, Zhang Shixin's troops actually had a large number of armored troops, and this news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for many Italian naval and army officers who thought they could occupy Valencia without blood.

Although they also got Zhang Shixin's strength from some intelligence, they never thought that Zhang Shixin would actually have a very large number of armored troops in the country of Spain.

For them, this is something beyond common sense.

The battle was fought to this point, and the troops on the front line could not effectively resist Zhang Shixin's armored troops, and the various interspersed and rolling forces used. Many times, the Italian squad, which thought they were in a safe area, looked in amazement at the various tanks and combat vehicles that rushed into the ruins and then directly crashed down.

The infantry, lacking effective anti-tank means, with those grenades they carry, was simply powerless against these tanks with fairly thick armor protection.

Some Italian soldiers didn't want to sit still, but before they could gather the grenades, they were beaten into a sieve by the parachute with submachine guns in their hands.

The Italian landing force, which was divided into blocks of different sizes, was being slowly eaten away by Zhang Shixin's summoning troops and the self-defense forces that were working together.

In the face of a front-line army that is constantly asking for support, Anzu? Aquino made a rather brutal decision.

"All naval guns shelled the combat area!!"

……

This decision has undoubtedly abandoned the army units on the front line that are desperately waiting for reinforcements. Because it is necessary to carry out fixed-point strikes on an area more than a dozen kilometers away, the accuracy of the navy's naval guns cannot be guaranteed at all.

Being able to hit nearby areas is considered a gunner's skill.

Basically, any gun will have accuracy problems. Factory accuracy is actually a relatively standardized standard.

For example, the factory accuracy of a M85A1 Barrett is said to be 0.01, which means that the shooting accuracy of 100 meters allows for an error of one centimeter per 100 meters.

Naturally, naval artillery could not escape this rule.

However, the test data of naval guns are more vague than those of tank runs, and many of the data on penetration are more on paper.

Because of the thickness of hundreds of millimeters, and the volume is also quite large steel plates, it is not easy to get.

Target ship testing, as well as shooting at fixed targets on land, is more about accuracy data.

The ...... of the penetrating power of naval guns Being able to penetrate the test target gives you an approximate statistic. And in fact, only God knows how big the error will be in this data.

So Anzu? Aquino's order was more of an abandonment of the poor army's indiscriminate attack orders.

Isn't there that no captain has ever objected to Anzu? Aquino's orders, because they can't afford to take this responsibility.

But Anzu? Aquino uttered a sentence that made the men obediently shut their mouths:

"I'll take all the responsibility!!"

So, all the gunners received an order to attack the xx coordinates.

Unbeknownst to the gunners, there was a fierce battle going on in the area, and that there was a significant number of Army comrades who were constantly calling for support from follow-up troops.

They're more often on orders.

So, almost half a minute later, the remnants of the ships of the Italian fleet, the barrels roared again......

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

The movement of the battleship's main guns was also difficult to hide from the BF-109HS that was constantly hovering at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, and soon, Zhang Shixin received an order that made him roar loudly:

"TMD, don't even let go of your own people?! All troops were ordered to retreat at once, and by how much!! ”

Zhang Shixin is not a stupid person, he naturally knows very well that the other party's naval artillery shelling at this time is not a loser move who dislikes the "cheap" shells (large-caliber shells are also very expensive). In the absence of fighting from other directions, the most likely target of the opposing side is that the Italian army in the combat area is constantly encircling and annihilating the opposing forces, slowly interspersed and divided the opposing forces and those self-defense forces.

However, when Zhang Shixin's order was issued, the first wave of shells had already fallen in that area.

More than a dozen huge fireballs rose up in the area.

And then there was a continuous stream of "small-caliber" shells that were constantly falling.

The effect of such an artillery bombardment is in fact a lose-lose situation.

Zhang Shixin's troops and the Self-Defense Forces suffered heavy casualties, but an M6 heavy tank was directly hit by a 305mm shell, and another group of Self-Defense Forces members more than 50 meters away, when the smoke slowly cleared, saw only a huge crater more than 10 meters wide and more than 2 meters deep.

As for the M6 and the accompanying infantrymen, everything was gone, except for a few corpses that could still be faintly seen in human form......

The fate of the Italian Army was even worse, as most of the shells fell in their area.

Often after a 305mm shell explodes, the infantry within a radius of several tens of meters suffered very heavy casualties, not to mention the crater, even if it is more than ten meters near the crater. It's undoubtedly a miracle that you want to see someone alive.

Zhang Shixin slapped the table hard, and the heavy casualties suffered by the troops made him very angry.

And in the eyes of those nuns, Zhang Shixin's gritted teeth made them feel that the battle situation seemed to be quite bad.

After Zhang Shixin relieved himself, the killing intent in his eyes became more and more cold:

"There's still an hour and a half...... You tmd wait for me, don't send two things into the sea, I don't have the surname Zhang!! ”

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

The gunners, who were ordered to act, naturally did not know about the officers of the naval fleet, who at this time were already being questioned by the army units.

Many captains even wanted to give the order to stop shooting.

But, for these captains, Anzu? If Aquino's order had not changed, they could not have taken the risk of violating the code of the order and ordered a halt to the shelling.

Anzu? Aquino naturally knew this, but what he was thinking about at this time was not how to think about the future, but how to capture Valencia.

It will take some time to clear the port area, and he also sees that the army units are not fighting effectively. So, he had to resort to such a means.

He hoped that Zhang Shixin's troops would retreat in the face of difficulties, and the price paid by those army troops that were "bombed by mistake" could be said to be quite cost-effective.

But he never imagined that on the battlefield with the roar of artillery, a very famous scene in "The Elegy of Valencia" happened.

……

The retreat of Zhang Shixin's troops and the Self-Defense Forces was not hindered too much, on the contrary, the Italian army that was engaged with them even took the risk of sending a small number of representatives, hoping that they would retreat with Zhang Shixin's troops.

After Zhang Shixin received this information, although he was quite stunned in his heart, everyone would have the idea of being able to live. And he died at the hands of his own people...... This kind of death is indeed too much.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin agreed to the other party's request.

So, some time before the scene, you were still alive and dead, and some time later, the opposing sides supported each other, put the wounded behind armored vehicles or tank engines, and the troops evacuated to the still intact city of Valencia.

Phillips is also part of the team, playing the role of a supporter.

Although he did not like these Italians either, and during this period of time, he also killed and wounded many Italian officers and soldiers, but for the Italians who had lost the will to fight and just wanted to survive the indiscriminate fire of friendly forces, he stretched out his hands, like many members of the Self-Defense Forces.

The shelling continued, and although the ranks paid a heavier price for this, they increased in number as more and more Italians laid down their arms......

As the commander of the Italian army at the front, an Italian major general, knowing this, asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram with the most famous slogan later known as "The Elegy of Valencia":

"Although we are soldiers, we don't want to die under the fire of our own people! Even as a captive, we want to be able to live better! Instead of dying tragically in the butcher's knife of his own people!! ”

This sentence also indicates that the Italian major general has lost the will to fight......

If even the commander of a unit loses the will to fight, such an army will already lose its combat effectiveness.

……

Zhang Shixin naturally wouldn't raise these Italians in vain, if it weren't for the surprisingly obedient Italian captives, Zhang Shixin wouldn't have bothered to care about their life or death.

However, what Zhang Shixin is waiting for now is not only the sortie time of the flying unit, but also has a plan, that is, Zhang Shixin wants to stay in Valencia and do more things. (To be continued.) )
