"General, do we still need to continue the attack?" An officer walked into the tent and questioned his commander.

The armored commander of the Osville Empire smiled bitterly and said after a while, "Withdraw the troops for the time being." ”

He also wanted to directly break through Zhang Shixin's several defensive lines in one go, but it was obvious that he didn't have the strength to do so now.

More than 600 tanks and combat vehicles of various types were scrapped in just over an hour, what is going on?

What kind of firepower could have beaten his troops so badly?

Although the other side also has certain losses, but, at best, more than 100 tanks and combat vehicles have suffered losses (in fact, there are not so many, which will be broken down below), and the battle loss ratio is about five to one.

For what has happened, he can only hold back his anger, which cannot be blamed on his subordinates, only blamed on him for underestimating the enemy.

He was interested in the abandoned enemy tanks compared to his own losses.

He even personally gave orders for the front-line troops to pull back some tanks that looked relatively intact as much as possible.

For this, he had to pay for the loss of more than two dozen tanks.

He remembered this now and asked the officer, "How are things going?" ”

"General, as soon as our maintenance team enters the inside of the opponent's tank...... The tank exploded, and no one who entered the tank was spared. The officer thought about it, but still told the actual situation.

"Bang!"

The armored commander slapped the table hard, he didn't expect the enemy to do this. The anger on his face was clear at a glance, and it took a while before he slowly calmed down, and said again with a look of gritted teeth: "Send troops again and pull back a few tanks from the battlefield." ”

The officer thought for a moment, and then said his advice: "General, this may cause our troops to suffer some losses again, or we will simply ...... after the battle is over"

When the armored commander heard the officer's words, he shook his head helplessly: "While we are still in control of that section of the area, it is inevitable that there will be some unexpected situations in doing this. ”

"General, you mean?"

"Who knows what's going to happen? After all, this is not our country......" The armored commander shook his head helplessly and uttered a pun.

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

Zhang Shixin helplessly calculated the losses he had lost in the battle so far, and less than one-third of the dozens of tanks in front of him could withdraw to the second line of defense.

Most of the losses were of the T-54/55 and Type 59, and a considerable part of these losses were those who volunteered to delay time and provide the opportunity for inclined fire for the troops behind, only to be surrounded by the enemy behind those small mounds, and a small part of the mechanized infantry, and the whole army was annihilated.

Although, some tanks want to engage in small-scale combat and delay as much as possible.

However, these tanks also did not last long under the flank, which the enemy had already controlled at considerable angles......

Unlike in the game, the game's 15v15 can only be considered a small fight at best, and if in reality, being attacked by several tanks from several different angles can be considered a miserable death.

So......

When a tank faces a dozen enemy tanks and tanks at close range, and there is no reason to survive in the uncovered terrain......

It's just that the sacrifices of these troops are not worthless, and the bricks that have fallen in the sky have been ...... Ahem, wrong, it was howitzer shells, as well as armor-piercing shells flying from the ground, and the enemy's tank and combat vehicle units suffered even more heavy casualties.

It can be said that the sacrifices of these subordinates allowed Zhang Shixin to destroy four to five times the number of enemies of their own.

In terms of results, such losses are entirely in the category of big victories.

But the problem is that Zhang Shixin's foundation is relatively weak, and the troops he can take out now are just that.

It's not that he doesn't want to match the middle and high-end of the troops, but, first, he lacks time, and second, too many armored troops will become a lot of pressure in many ways.

Zhang Shixin had never bought a car in the original world, but he had also heard the saying that it was easy to buy a car and difficult to maintain a car.

Here, Zhang Shixin found that this sentence is also more applicable.

The usual cost of a tank is not too much (of course, for Zhang Shixin, the system is produced, it must be a high-quality product), but the armored troops are all monsters that eat oil.

Although the fuel consumption is not too much compared to the original carry, it is about one-third or one-half, which mainly depends on the tank model.

But even so, when Zhang Shixin was at the base, the daily training and fuel consumption expenses made him feel unbearable.

This does not include the money for artillery shells for training, all kinds of military consumption, and even the soldiers' clothing, ammunition, auxiliary equipment, etc.

It is true that these sums are calculated in a single way, which is a small amount, but if they are accumulated together, Zhang Shixin found that the taxes obtained by his fief were deducted from a series of messy expenses, and Zhang Shixin found that there was not much money left.

You must know that Zhang Shixin's fief income is not too low, and his own military expenses are not too high.

This is relative to the situation of the alliance between the two countries, in fact, Zhang Shixin also took a big advantage. Because guns and tank parts will not be damaged without external forces, otherwise, Zhang Shixin's income would not be able to support almost 10,000 troops.

Zhang Shixin is just a small duke, and he has a fief with little income, so that he is like an alliance between the two countries, raising more than 100,000 troops, which is nonsense. Had it not been for the fact that he had used his personal "gifts" before this battle to loot the vaults of several wealthy towns to the point that he could starve rats to death, his troops would not have had the money to build them.

Although Zhang Shixin was not interested in paper money in the past, although paper money will depreciate, he can also buy some gold bars from merchants and exchange some gold coins, so the officials in those towns look very, very clean, and then a few mice are moving, and sometimes they will raise their heads to look at their underground warehouses, which is called a cry without tears.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin either didn't want to have as many troops as possible, or he didn't have time, or he didn't have money...... In every sense, Zhang Shixin found that until now, he was not a rich man......

The troops of the second line of defense also suffered a little loss, but it was not big, but just from the battle losses from the beginning of the war to the present, Zhang Shixin felt that he was vomiting blood a little.

However, the thing that made him feel a little comforting was that the other party actually did not care about the losses and sent troops again, hoping to recover the tanks under a few small mounds.

Zhang Shixin smiled coldly: "You guys are really not afraid of death?" ”

Not to mention, even if they transport those tanks back to their country, without a systematic unlock, as soon as their people enter the hull or forcibly dismantle the hull from the outside, what awaits them will be a relatively violent explosion.

Zhang Shixin didn't know how powerful this violent explosion was. But listening to Cynya's words, it is estimated that the power of being able to completely blow up the tank into a part state will not be small.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin was very relieved that his weapons and equipment would not be captured by the enemy.

Although in a sense, this game can't beat others, and suddenly pulling out the network cable is a bit shameless.

But from his point of view, such a situation is a kind of protection for many people.

Although this can be regarded as harming others and not benefiting himself, Zhang Shixin is completely supportive of this arrangement.

Although it is unlikely that there is such a thing as oil in this world, both countries can research a fuel engine that can improve their surname according to the armored vehicles transferred to them by Zhang Shixin, who can guarantee that other countries will not have such a situation.

It's just that the other party also pulled away a T-54/55 that was not seriously damaged some time ago, and now it is doing such a thing......

According to Zhang Shixin's guess, the other party should be betting that he will not do this kind of immoral back move in all tanks, so he will continue to try.

But Zhang Shixin did not remind the other party of his intentions, but after sneering, he ordered the troops to attack indiscriminately.

……

At a distance of more than 400 meters, the hit rate of the ISU-152 increased a lot, and as long as the BL-10 shells penetrated the enemy tank, they would inevitably bring heavy damage, or even directly blow up the opponent's ammunition rack.

One of the ISU-152 gunners was even surprised to find that the barrel of the opponent's gun had been broken. However, it is very difficult to break the barrel of a gun with a frontal shot.

He seemed to see a burst of smoke from above the enemy tank's gun before the barrel was broken.

It is clear that such a situation is the result of artillery firing.

However, he did not give up the opportunity to shoot down the water dogs, and after the loader had loaded the shells, he quickly locked the crosshair on the upper part of the turret of the enemy tank.

"Boom!"

A second later, flames and smoke erupted from the muzzle of the BL-10, and a 152mm armor-piercing round was discharged.

After a flight of more than a second, the shell pierced directly through the periscope of the turret of the enemy tank......

The commander of the "......" who observed the results of the battle looked at the gunner speechlessly, and the gunner could only shake his head, indicating that he was also helpless.

The armor-piercing shell of the BL-10 is too penetrating, so it either hits the main parts of the hull, hits some corners and corners, or is directly knocked off by the armor plates in the corners, or the shells themselves pass through these positions and fly far away until they lose kinetic energy and fall to the ground and explode.

This is the case with a shell that is too penetrating, and it is possible that this shell will continue to penetrate because the shell has not been detonated after penetrating the periscope of the opponent's turret. However, despite this, the turret periscope was also damaged in a near-total manner.

The loader reloads the shell, but before the gunner can fire again, the gunner notices a violent smoke from the shield of the target tank, which is clearly caused by howitzer shells over 203mm.

The gunner quickly signaled to the commander, and the target lost the value of the attack.

After confirming this, the commander asked the driver to turn the hull to the right a few degrees, so that the gunner could take a new target, placing it in the middle of the firing angle as much as possible.

In fact, Zhang Shixin did this, mainly to learn some situations in the game, he thinks, when attacking the enemy, try to put the enemy in the middle of the shooting range, although this wastes a little time, but it can better aim the enemy, and will not react again at that time because the enemy is out of the shooting range.

Zhang Shixin does this in the game, his large top TD and small various self-propelled guns are placed in the middle of the horizontal firing range, because some guns and TD are too narrow, so Zhang Shixin thinks that this can better respond to some unexpected situations.

In addition, there is also a factor, that is, Zhang Shixin believes that the shooting efficiency near the center point is the highest, and if the barrel appears in the yellow indication and fires again, there will often be some very speechless situations.

Zhang Shixin's style of playing the game is to show up in the yellow indication, he would rather straighten the car and then aim again.

Such a combat style was also instilled into his subordinates by Zhang Shixin.

Therefore, when many TDs face the enemy, they put the hull straight, face the enemy, and then shoot.

In doing so, whether there are more benefits or more disadvantages, Zhang Shixin does not have a precise number.

Of course, the advantage is that when shooting, you don't have to worry too much about the angle of shooting, but the disadvantage is that sometimes when you shoot, the daylily is cold.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin couldn't tell whether this was good or bad, he was just pursuing what he thought was the most efficient way of fighting.

Therefore, the crew of the ISU-152 also carried out Zhang Shixin's order, and after a little more than a second, the gunner fired again, and a few seconds later, the commander saw that the turret of the opponent's tank was blown into the air, and then fell down.

He said to the gunner: "Fight beautifully!" ”

……

Compared with the ISU-152, which improved a certain hit rate, the IS-3 hit rate improvement effect is not too obvious, which is of course due to the AP shell instability of the M55-T1 tank gun, but more because the IS-3 heavy tank has been more or less damaged, and it is difficult for the gunners to fully exert the power of this tank gun when the hull is damaged.

Most of the IS-3s that retreated from the first line of defense had their tracks damaged or had their tracks interrupted, while some of them were unstable due to damage to the suspension system.

However, with a good penetration depth and power, the 122mm shells fired by the IS-3 heavy tank, once they hit the enemy, have a high chance of directly penetrating the front armor of the opponent's hull, and some shells hit the turret periscope of some enemy tanks, except for a small number of shells directly penetrating the enemy's turret periscope, others are more forced explosions, directly damaging the periscope of the enemy's tank turret, and killing and injuring the opponent's commander.

At the same time, the IS-3 uses its own good frontal protection, relying on the terrain, to make the hull as much as possible not to cover the firing range of the tank fighting vehicles behind, blocking in front of some tank fighting vehicles with poor armor protection, and increasing the survivability of these tank fighting vehicles.

Although some IS-3 heavy tanks had their hulls tilted back slightly, exposing the top of the turret and some of the rear of the hull to the front, they did so because most of them were wingmen with weak armor behind them.

Among them, behind many IS-3s, is ISU-152.

Zhang Shixin's arrangement is mostly out of helplessness, of course he is well aware that the cost of the ISU-3 is higher than that of the ISU-152, but the front armor of the ISU-152 is difficult to withstand the penetration of enemy shells.

As a very important firepower output, if the ISU-152 loses too much, he will not be able to hold it for long.

As for why not use the Tiger King, which has better protection capabilities, as a cover?

The Tiger King's hull is so high that it obscures a large area of the isu-152's firing position, how do you let the isu-152 attack the enemy?

The Lion is also not very suitable, because the protection of the Lion tank is not good, and at the same time the hull is also very high, so it is naturally excluded.

As for the AMX-50-100, Zhang Shixin thinks that this thing still needs to be protected, let them protect the TD, isn't this nonsense?

Therefore, the retired IS-3 protected the TD troops as much as possible.

Zhang Shixin naturally has a better choice of bars, but the two tank destroyers, the Elephant and the Tiger Hunter, are obviously the first choice for black guns.

The PAK46-105MM-L75 tank gun, as well as the long 128 anti-tank gun, at a distance of 800 to 900 meters, had a slightly better hit rate than the BL-152 of the ISU-10.

Zhang Shixin did this by treating the spear and shield between the two as the focus.

Although the armor protection ability of the buffed Tiger Hunter is comparable to that of the King Tiger tank, the accuracy of its anti-tank gun is the most important highlight.

The power of the 128mm shell is about the same as that of the IS-3 122mm, but it is just a little lower. After all, the two are not products of the same era, but the lethality exerted by the Tiger Hunt is much better than that of the IS-3, which is difficult for gunners to grasp the hit rate.

……

Faced with the poor performance of IS-3, Zhang Shixin had the urge to transform IS-3 into Project 704, but this idea was just a thought.

After all, for Zhang Shixin, the 704 project is not too much of an increase in the overall surname compared to the isu-152, but the positions overlap, not to mention, the cost is much more expensive than the isu-152. Zhang Shixin believes that there is no need for the 704 project, even if the IS-3 really can't adapt to the later battlefield, direct retirement will be Zhang Shixin's first choice for him.

The IS-3 also has self-propelled guns, the caliber of which is 203mm. But Zhang Shixin was curious about the weight of the IS-3 chassis, how much capacity can the extended self-propelled gun play?

At the same time, Zhang Shixin also did not plan to release other 203mm guns in the S series, not to mention that the power of the artillery has not increased, and they are all things that are not of great significance in actual combat, mainly because the mobile surname is too slow.

It's like the Su-14 and the 212 project, in the absence of the S-51, Zhang Shixin thinks that it can be considered, but since there is the S-51, these two things are more of a waste of experience.

He preferred the 261/263, a multi-purpose self-propelled gun with a good mobile surname, which was naturally preferred because of better frontal protection. Well, that's a very late thing.

The M self-propelled guns are more balanced, and many of them have decent combat capabilities.

At the same time, Zhang Shixin thinks that the most cheating T92 has also been replaced by the mobile surname of the M103-S1 "Thor" self-propelled gun (which was introduced in the previous chapter), although the recoil is greater than that of T92, but Zhang Shixin believes that this is not the point, after all, the loading speed of 240mm, although there is a special crane loading vehicle, but the speed is still relatively slow, three rounds in two minutes, and this is still the speed that can only be achieved with a whole load of ammunition.

That more recoil is nothing compared to the rate of fire.

……

But what Zhang Shixin is more concerned about is that if he produces a few Assault Tiger Kings, what will happen to the battle situation?

However, soon, Zhang Shixin gave up this idea, and the assault gun of the Tiger King, which was equipped with a 280mm howitzer, did not have a certain scale and was not enough to exert more combat effectiveness. After all, howitzers rely more on high-explosive grenades to eat, although this thing can also play AP shells, but Zhang Shixin believes that 280mm AP shells are not necessary to be used now, and the STUK46-280mm-L30 carried by the Assault Tiger King is not very accurate, not to mention, and it needs to be loaded with its own crane 280mm shells, which are even more mobile and cannot be loaded......

Well, Zhang Shixin found that the system's knots were not much better, although he had always known about it.

But you make the assault gun a pit dad loading situation like a self-propelled gun, is this an assault gun or a mobile gun?

Zhang Shixin, who was thinking about other things, was suddenly stunned by a piece of news, because the self-propelled artillery unit behind sent information that reinforcements had appeared.

"Reinforcements?" Zhang Shixin was slightly stunned, he didn't know what was going on.

But the summoners will not pit him, Zhang Shixin knows the truth of what the other party said.

He climbed out of the top cover, braced himself on his elbows, and then picked up his binoculars to look ahead:

The ground, which should have been very flat, was smashed by all kinds of shells and cratered craters like the surface of the moon, and the wreckage of hundreds of tanks was still slowly burning with smoke, or the turret was blown away, or the turret lid was opened, and it just stopped on the ground......

At the same time, from time to time, smoke rose again on the plains, large or small......

"Should we counterattack?" Zhang Shixin looked at the situation in front of him and subconsciously thought......

"Bell!" "Boom"

"......" Zhang Shixin was more than ten meters away, because of the shells that were flying from the front armor of the hunting tiger, and the soil that blew up covered his whole body.

When he quickly slid back to the warhead, he subconsciously scolded: "Damn, I almost hung up ......"

"......" a certain elf dragon glanced at Zhang Shixin angrily......

ps: How about this chapter, if you think it's good, everyone will continue to support it.
