"Lord Duke, General Ripert has now moved to the corresponding area, and he has sent us a telegram asking if he can join the battle now."

"Well, what is the other party doing now?"

"It's not very clear, because as soon as our scouts approached the area, they were shot by enemy snipers."

"Since this is the case, let the enemy start to attack again, let Ripert lead the armored brigade to flank the enemy in front and rear according to the original plan."

"In addition, the reconnaissance vehicles we sent out did not find any enemy artillery units, not ...... It should be said that our reconnaissance vehicles were killed by the enemy without knowing when. ”

"Let's put this matter on hold for a moment and prioritize the original battle plan."

"Yes, Lord Duke."

Watching the herald leave the basement of a private house, the nobleman known as the Duke did not know that his actions had been detected by Zhang Shixin's reconnaissance vehicle.

Zhang Shixin's reconnaissance vehicle, now mainly some of the VK-2802 "Shadow Leopard" that seems to be a little "outdated", although this thing to the present, in many aspects of the surname can not be compared to the WZ-131, but the reconnaissance vehicle in the case of silent reconnaissance, communication capability has become a very important parameter.

Obviously, these VK-2802 "Shadow Leopards" are quite useful as reconnaissance vehicles.

The LT units, which were scattered over a large area, were not assigned combat duty.

Still, despite this, they still have a certain level of success.

Three squads of light reconnaissance vehicles appeared from the southwest at a distance of two kilometers from a self-propelled artillery position, but at the time they were discovered, these light reconnaissance vehicles did not know that they were exposed.

The six E-25 tank destroyers assisting in the defense of this self-propelled artillery position quickly arrived at an ambush site, and then, with the help of several Lorraine-155-50/51s, in less than two minutes, eliminated the light reconnaissance vehicles of the squad.

The E-25's 75mm anti-tank gun is a bit more powerful against heavily armored tanks or tank destroyers. But the light reconnaissance vehicle with weak armor protection of the opponent is more than enough.

Of course, this is a small episode, and Zhang Shixin doesn't know that those E-25 tank destroyers are actually in this world, so they started their own combat journey.

Zhang Shixin naturally knew that there was a force with more than 80 tanks and combat vehicles of various types "lurking" behind him, and Zhang Shixin also knew very well that if this force was left alone, they were very likely to let Zhang Shixin encounter some trouble.

Zhang Shixin didn't think about destroying the other party with artillery troops alone, but it was obvious that the number of artillery pieces that could attack that direction was not too much, and it was obviously not a good idea to inflict a certain amount of heavy damage on the other side and startle the snake.

But most of Zhang Shixin's troops have now entered the western part of the satellite city, and the troops in the northwest direction are mainly Straar's troops.

Zhang Shixin knew that with Strahl's troops alone, it would be difficult to completely destroy the other party at once.

At the same time, Zhang Shixin also had a little concern, that is, the battles in the three regions were quite tight, and he could not find more troops to fight.

In case the enemy forces prioritized Straar's troops from several directions, Zhang Shixin knew that Straar's troops were not small, but it would be very difficult to hold on for a considerable period of time.

Zhang Shixin thought about it for a while, and finally decided to suspend the offensive and then give priority to destroying the enemy army.

Zhang Shixin asked Strar's troops to prioritize the consolidation of his defensive front, and reinforcements would arrive within a certain time, when they would launch a fierce attack on the enemy.

Zhang Shixin was not worried about the back road being cut off, if the enemy appeared in the west, Zhang Shixin would be even more desperate, which was an area that most artillery could attack.

Zhang Shixin's arrangement soon reached Strar's hands, and Strahl did not have any opinion on Zhang Shixin's order, he ordered the troops to quickly enter the defensive state, and some captured anti-aircraft guns were even arranged to the troops behind the flank.

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

Ripert had one of the advantages of being a high-ranking officer in the private army of the nobility, and that was that he had fought in war.

Those who have participated in war and those who have not participated in war have a different understanding of war.

Therefore, he can't agree with his boss's arrangement to be honest.

After all, he had already sensed that Zhang Shixin's troops had a large number of artillery, which was a great threat to many armies.

He didn't know what the size of Zhang Shixin's artillery unit was, but, according to the conclusion drawn from the battle situation, the opponent's artillery would not be less than 400 guns on the whole.

The defenses in the satellite city are quite perfect, but in just a few hours the enemy occupied almost half of the area, those fortresses can not effectively block the enemy's advance, the large number of enemy armored troops is a factor, but the bigger problem is from those artillery that bombards the satellite city all the time.

He knew that the enemy's artillery bombardment was quite accurate, and sometimes, the fortified defense line built in some key neighborhoods was destroyed by the enemy in less than ten minutes, or even less.

It is impossible to do this with armoured troops and soldiers alone, but with a large number of artillery, these fortresses are more of a living target, and they are still the ones that cannot be moved.

Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for the satellite city to lose so many defense areas in such a short period of time.

Therefore, according to his idea, it should be to fight for the loss of armored forces and give priority to the elimination of enemy artillery positions.

Tactically, this was a good idea, but he didn't say what he thought, because he also knew very well what kind of person his master really was.

He simply couldn't allow his opinion to be refuted.

Ripert sighed softly, knowing full well that if he had made it to the west of the satellite city according to the original plan, he might have died in that place by now.

So, he couldn't let his men take risks.

As the commander of an aristocratic private armored unit, Ripert naturally knew very well that the enemy's firepower could cover most of the western part of the satellite city, so as the western periphery, the opponent's terrible hit rate might be able to eat his armored brigade in fifteen minutes or even less.

So, he could only tell a lie.

He didn't know what to do, because he saw very clearly that the country was finished, and even if he and the master could hold the satellite city, it would not help the overall war situation.

He even knew very well that if it weren't for the fact that the political system of the three countries did not need those great aristocratic classes that were full of evil, and the three countries would have to clean up these great aristocratic classes in order to consolidate their rule.

If it weren't for this premise, his master might be ...... today No, maybe after yesterday after the loss of the outlying positions, there will be a demand for surrender to the other side.

His master, like other great nobles, was stained with the blood of countless commoners, and even if the other party wanted to accept that master, it was already impossible.

Driving the people into battle, some of the situations in those peripheral positions, no matter which one they are, is enough to cut off the minds of the absolute side in this regard.

It can be said that the other side shot civilians because they were forced by them at all.

If the other party is not in the brain, of course he will know what to do.

"Alas......" Ripet was helpless, but he couldn't get rid of it all.

Because, there are many things that have lost their conscience, and he has participated in them.

Although he didn't want to do this, he knew the truth very well that he would eat the king's fortune and bear the king's worries.

Besides, it's true that each of these things is his own master, but it is also an inescapable reason that he does not want to give up the life he enjoys.

"Perhaps, this is my retribution." Ripert smiled faintly.

He was the only son of a broken family, who served as a brigade commander in the battle more than ten years ago, and later offended another nobleman because of some things, and if his master hadn't stood up for him, I'm afraid he would have died in that incident.

Ripert took a pocket watch from his bosom, opened it, looked at a photo on the lid of the watch, and smiled.

"General! We are under enemy fire, what should we do now? ”

Ripert was slightly stunned by the signal soldier's inquiry, and after Ripert came to his senses, he closed his pocket watch, put it in his pocket again, and said, "Let the troops put up a defensive formation and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"Yes!" The signal corps quickly conveyed Ripert's orders to his subordinate units.

"Are you going to start?" Ripert glanced at the periscope and saw a grove of smoke rising from the perimeter of a grove, and he muttered, "Live well, my wife and children, I didn't tell you what I did, mainly because I didn't want you to be sad." Although I am not worthy of your pride, I hope you can live a good life. Sorry,"

Ripert said that he saw a large group of tanks and tanks of all kinds rushing out from the south, and he knew that this battle was his last......

……

Strall sits on top of a Tiger tank, and although there are better tanks for him to choose from, he really falls in love with this majestic big guy.

After a round of reinforcements sent by Zhang Shixin, Strar had his mobilized troops attack the enemy forces hiding in and out of a small grove.

The tanks and fighting vehicles of this private armored brigade were not as difficult as the enemy troops that Zhang Shixin encountered in the industrial area, and Straar's troops were still able to deal with these enemy tanks and fighting vehicles with ease.

However, this does not mean that there are no casualties, on the contrary, this aristocratic private armoured brigade under the command of Ripert showed combat effectiveness that surprised Strar quite a lot.

Although Straar's tactical ability is also quite good, there is still a slight gap compared to the opponent.

Strall was in the position of commander of the Tiger tank, constantly adjusting the attack of his subordinate troops, and he also kept the gunners in the corresponding safe positions in the back, shooting at the enemy.

Although it is said to be a correspondingly safe position, because the Tiger tank is too conspicuous, I don't know if the enemy has intentionally or unintentionally, from time to time a shell shoots at the Tiger tank.

Listening to the clanging sound of the cannon shield and the front armor of the car, Strall frowned and asked the driver to pull the hull back slightly.

Straar's retreat relieved the pressure on the enemy army a lot. Because of the Tiger tank's ultra-long 88 tank gun, the hit rate is quite high.

Among Zhang Shixin's troops, the Tiger tank still has a certain combat effectiveness in the known heavy tank projects, but except for the special requirements of some officers, Zhang Shixin did not install this thing in large quantities.

The Tiger tank is equipped with a PAK43-88MM-L71 gun, which has a very high DPM in the game, with a limit rate of fire of 5.65s per shot (100% of the main skills of the crew members + Bomb Loser + Base Friend Company, loader efficiency 116% capped data, no cauldron sinking skills.) Therefore, full-skill crews generally do not need ventilation. ), as well as an AP penetration depth of 203mm, which is enough to make the Tiger tank the king of DPM level 7.

Of course, this was before the Emir tank destroyer appeared.

In fact, one thing that has to be said is that in reality, the rate of fire of 5.56s is actually.

Not to mention that the Tiger tank cannot be equipped with an automatic loader, even if an automatic ammunition loser is used, the loader has an average loading speed of about six seconds. This is also when the Tiger tank's automatic ammunition loser was not damaged.

It is indisputable that the reload rate restricts the rate of fire. The theoretical speed of the Tiger tank equipped with the PAK43-88MM-L71 is higher, but that is the test speed, which has little to do with the combat rate of fire of the tank.

After all, you can't just have a bunch of shells next to the chamber of a tank, right?

The rate of fire of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun is 3s per shot, which is the speed of wartime, but the ammunition of other people is placed next to it, and it is no problem to reload one round after firing. But the layout of the tank allows for this?

Therefore, Zhang Shixin looked at the actual test data of the Tiger tank and was quite speechless.

At the same time, the armor protection of the Tiger tank is actually not very good, at least in the enemy tank fighting vehicle models encountered by Zhang Shixin, there have been many models that can penetrate the front of the Tiger tank.

Although the Tiger tank does not have a speed limiter, even if it uses the original engine, Zhang Shixin looked at the data of the climbing test, and felt quite helpless.

There is another point, that is, the price factor, the Tiger tank is also a product of the same level as the IS tank in reality, but the price comparison of the whole body, the Tiger tank is about a quarter higher than the IS tank, which has also become a constraint for Zhang Shixin to popularize the Tiger tank.

Finally, for Zhang Shixin, it is difficult for the Tiger tank to transform a variant vehicle with a better purpose, and it is completely defeated in this respect by the Tiger P heavy tank, which can be called the king of DIY. The Assault Tiger transformed from the Tiger tank has no combat significance, because the range is too short.

Under the above premise, Zhang Shixin did not install the Tiger tank on a large scale again, and also took into account many factors.

It can be said that Strar's Tiger has become the last Tiger tank in Zhang Shixin's troops.

As for Firay, an IS-3 was chosen as the command vehicle.

Of course, Straar has not forgotten what Zhang Shixin said to him, that is, it is better for the Tiger tank not to charge, otherwise it will not be able to give full play to the ability of the Tiger tank.

He did so, but he forgot that Zhang Shixin said this, with a subtext:

The Tiger tank could not hold the enemy's high-piercing deep shells.

So, the Stellar cup is ready.

Before the Tiger tank could completely retreat, a shell pierced the spare track and the first armor plate, directly reimbursing the driver of the Tiger tank and the gearbox. Holding a fire extinguisher in his hand to extinguish the fire, and watching the other three members of the crew looking at his Strall, he was quite depressed:

Is it because he is rich and handsome, so he is so sarcastic?

……

Zhang Shixin naturally didn't know that Straar's Tiger tank was lying in the nest, and there was no better way to know him, after all, in order to protect the secrets of the system, Zhang Shixin couldn't configure things like maintenance parts to a crew that was not a summoner.

Zhang Shixin is now ordering his troops to resist the enemy's counterattack from Dongcheng District.

Zhang Shixin naturally knew that the other party was fighting the idea of attacking from the front and back, but he didn't understand why the other party didn't use the advantage of the fortress defense line, and insisted on giving him a personal sea charge.

Not to mention the large number of machine guns and snipers under his command, even tank combat vehicles can carry out mass destruction of enemy troops at a certain distance without high-explosive shells.

Zhang Shixin is not too worried about the infantry besieging tanks in the plains, not because the machine guns are capable of firing from multiple angles, but because these tanks are loaded with multifunctional small grenade launchers welded to the turret.

Although it is a small grenade launcher, this thing is not very effective at firing grenades, and the power of the spare one-shot grenade is not much different from that of a grenade.

This thing is either equipped with small incendiary grenades, small smoke grenades, or anti-personnel grenades.

In some cases, six anti-personnel grenades fired at a time can inflict some damage on unprotected personnel in a large area. It can be said that the kind of anti-personnel grenades thrown by people are outdated.

Zhang Shixin's preparation is definitely quite sufficient, but the other party insists on sending his subordinates as dishes, and he can't refuse the other party's "fist and fist will".

However, what made Zhang Shixin grit his teeth with hatred was:

You're going to die if you don't use civilians as meat shields!

Of course, Zhang Shixin was quite helpless about this scene, but Zhang Shixin had already given an order......

When the battle was over, as long as the area where the battle broke out, the defensive positions of Zhang Shixin's troops were all covered with dense corpses.

……

At the end of the defensive battle, the battle was also over on Straar's side.

Straar's troops wiped out the armored brigade, but also paid the price of more than two dozen tanks and combat vehicles of various types.

Zhang Shixin got the news and gave the order for the whole army to attack.

The battle continued, but only one-sidedly......

Because Zhang Shixin found that the enemy troops in Dongcheng District had either died in the defensive battle just now, or they had run away.

In short, Zhang Shixin confirmed one thing after spending more than two hours and cleaning it thoroughly.

That's when he captured the satellite city.

……

At night, the corpses in the city were all cleaned up, but Zhang Shixin did not enter this satellite city except for arranging some defensive troops on the periphery of the satellite city.

After sending the message to Shasur and the others that he occupied the satellite city west of Opérez, he sent all the officers down to rest.

He was alone, standing on a dirt slope, holding up his binoculars, looking at the city of Opérez to the east, thoughtful...... (To be continued.) )
