"Steady, steady, steady...... Now is the time! Fire! Behind a bush at the edge of the woods, Zhang Shixin calculated the distance of the opposing convoy in the periscope.

After the opponent's group of light tanks entered a distance of 300 meters, Zhang Shixin shouted the order to shoot.

A second later, a 75-mm shell flew for a short time, accurately hit, and penetrated the opponent's front armor, and almost at the same time, the opposing Wal-22 light tank team was quickly hit one after another in a short time......

This was followed by the attack of the No. 2 L and No. 3 assault guns, which were hidden in different positions.

The shells fired from the breeches of the two tanks, after a short flight, bore into the hull of the target......

More than ten seconds later, Zhang Shixin saw the remaining eight light tanks on the other side and the heavy tank seemed to have discovered their location, and they all stopped in place and turned their turrets to the place where they were ambushed.

"Retreat!" Zhang Shixin gave an order to the correspondent Olivesa.

After a while, the three tanks in the first ambush circle retreated into the woods (in reality, the tanks actually retreated in reverse, because turning in place in the battle was no different from killing themselves). After all, the front armor is the best area of defense. Immediately, Zhang Shixin noticed that the trees above his head had been blown up by several 37-mm shells.

Several 37 mm armor-piercing rounds hit the curved gun shield of the 60 mm thick turret (Note 1), making a clanging sound and then flying to the other side.

"It's good that this thing doesn't work like in the game

Then, with a series of "boom" sounds, the trunk of a large tree located ten meters behind the left side of the No. 3 M was broken, and the upper part of the tree immediately fell backwards, stuck in the branches of another tree, and slowly slid down to the ground.

"Let them avoid the attacks of the enemy's large-caliber tank guns as much as possible during the operation!" Zhang Shixin said to the communicator and asked him to send out this instruction.

Then he thought to himself: "It is probably equivalent to the power of the 105-gun armor-piercing projectile of the 'Wasp', and the technology of this world cannot be underestimated." ”

On the tactical map, Zhang Shixin didn't care much about the convoy that had lost its target, but took the two vehicles to look at the retreat about a hundred meters behind the woods.

……

"Major, we don't seem to have hit the enemy." A young man wearing a duke [***] outfit from the Principality Coalition was checking the effect of the shot just now, and found that the tank was still reversing rapidly, and soon disappeared into the woods.

"What about our casualties now?" The middle-aged soldier, known as the Major, questioned the communicator after glancing through the turret periscope at the location where the Type III M-had disappeared.

"The three escorted Wal-22 light tanks directly lost the ability to continue fighting, and the crew members all suffered various degrees of attrition, and the first tank that was hit, the crew communication was completely silent." The correspondent, after a short exchange, told the story.

The middle-aged soldier shook his head, he naturally knew that while the radio was silent, he could not see anyone climbing out of the tank now, and the members of the car crew estimated that there was a lot of bad luck.

It's just that he didn't know why the attackers ran away like this, and besides, the targets they attacked were mainly those light tanks, which made him even more confused.

Because according to normal circumstances, the target of those people's attacks was undoubtedly the new tank he was in. But now the other party has evacuated his ambush site after destroying several light tanks guarding it, so a feeling comes to his mind:

Will the other side target those light tanks or his new tank, which he hopes to be battle-proven? Or is the other person waiting for them somewhere else?

It's just that the middle-aged soldier believes that Zhang Shixin's attack just now was an accidental accident, and he said that he would never believe this kind of thing.

After all, 4 Wal-22 light tanks are a lesson from the past.

After a while, the communicator's words interrupted the middle-aged soldier's thoughts: "Lieutenant Colonel, the convoy has taken in people who are still alive, and now asks us if we want to move on, or turn back to Silis?" ”

"......" The middle-aged soldier looked at the grass again, as well as the situation nearby, and thought for a while before saying, "Let's move on." In addition, let the remaining light tanks be scattered a little, do not be hit by the enemy one by one, as just now, and let them pay attention to maneuvering. ”

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!" The correspondent forwarded the order of the middle-aged serviceman.

The convoy then continued to set off, but the girl sitting in the passenger seat of an armored car was recalling the scene with excitement on her face......

Although it was a small defeat for the people of her country just now, it also made this person who saw the tip of the iceberg of the battlefield feel a little bit of the atmosphere of the battlefield.

She even wanted to be a part of it herself.

It's just that the education she received didn't charge into battle, a teaching that was completely "cheap" for her identity, and she wouldn't even think about it. So, she's only seen the tank, but if she wants to actually it, it's still free.

She wouldn't drive that kind of thing.

……

Behind a hill, the crew of the "Wasp" self-propelled guns had long been in combat form. However, because Zhang Shixin did not give the order for them to attack, they had to look at Hollis, the commander of the Type I assault gun warhead who was hiding behind a bush, standing behind the warhead, holding it in his hand and observing the surrounding environment.

As for that multipurpose armored car, it is now parked on their side, and everyone is waiting for Zhang Shixin's order.

……

As for Zhang Shixin, he is now looking at the convoy that continues to move forward, because he has formulated three ambush plans, and the first two times, he did not plan to use the "Wasp" self-propelled guns, not only that he must give priority to the elimination of those light tanks, but at the same time, he must ensure that the most feasible attack method against the mission target - the heavy tank whose surname is not known to the other party.

The convoy that silently watched in the telescope as each other's began to become scattered, and then continued along the road. Zhang Shixin smiled slightly, and quickly drilled into the turret: "For the light tank that is closest to you, transfer the target after the 2 rounds are broken, and after fifteen seconds, evacuate the ambush point." Attack!!! ”

……

"Lieutenant Colonel! We've been ambushed by each other again! We didn't find an obvious target this time!! "The communicator quickly reported the communications of the Wal-22 light tank in front,

However, the middle-aged soldier sighed slightly, because he saw a tank more than fifty meters in front of him, the energy tank was attacked, and after a few seconds, the driver opened the top cover, turned over and rolled on the ground, hoping to extinguish the blue flames that splashed on him and suddenly burned.

It's just that he forgot that the tank he was in was still pushing in front of his customary name......

When the Wal-22 light tank actually stopped, he saw that the driver's body was being pressed under the left track, and the ground was gradually dyed bright red.

After a while, the driver's seat of the Wal-22 light tank revealed a blue flame that was constantly beating,

As more and more Wal-22 light tanks were destroyed, the middle-aged soldiers had to look for where the attackers were hiding, because there were too many overgrown weeds in the woods.

Before the middle-aged soldier could find the other party's trace, the barely audible sound of shelling stopped.

The middle-aged soldier shook his head silently, because if he hadn't ordered to move on, the few Wal-22 tanks in front of him that had stopped their operations would not have been caught off guard by the enemy again.

It's just that he is a soldier loyal to the empire, and he must complete his mission.

So, when the team behind asked again what they should do. He glanced at the three remaining Wal-22 tanks that were still active. He gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Go ahead!! ”

If he left along the way he came at this time, then Zhang Shixin would not have pursued him and the convoy behind the tank he was in, let alone what happened later.

However, as the convoy moved forward with another attrition, that became a no-brainer.

……

"Aren't you leaving?" After coming to the last predetermined ambush point, Zhang Shixin picked up the binoculars again, leaned out of the top of the turret, and watched the situation of the convoy.

He didn't know if there was something that the convoy had to do, because in such a serious combat attrition, he would have ordered the troops to turn around and run.

"Perhaps, this is the difference between a full-fledged soldier and a fake half-'mercenary leader'." Zhang Shixin thought about this silently.

"Will you take the initiative to take risks?" Sinia despised Zhang Shixin in words.

"Not really, because sometimes you gain more from taking risks, but if you fail, you will lose more. Isn't it? What's more, as a commander now, I have to be responsible for the people under me. Zhang Shixin thought to himself.

"......" Sinia had no intention of refuting Zhang Shixin, because, in Zhang Shixin's position, his thoughts were also understandable.

Looking at the convoy that was crawling like a turtle but still moving forward, Zhang Shixin had to express his admiration for the tenacity of this team in his heart.

However, the most appropriate way to admire an enemy is to give him a way to die in line with his identity.

This time, he faced a real soldier, and perhaps it was best for him to die in battle......

"Although this approach is indeed a bit unkind, but this is the ...... of war" Zhang Shixin's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.

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

That same evening.

"How can this be, I didn't even get a reply from the other party in plain text. What the hell is this convoy all about? The anxious Sergio was in the basement of the youth residence, nervously looking at the high-power magic transmitter and a communicator who was constantly adjusting the band, constantly repeating "A115 Cancel Test Mission" and "A115 Cancel Test Mission", and raised his own questions.

After the young man on the side muttered for a while, he said a terrible assumption for them: "Sergio, no one has replied to this plaintext telegram for so long, either the convoy has silenced the communication of the longwave channel, or the high-power magic transmitter in their team has failed, or it is ......."

The young man didn't say the last words, but Sergio knew the meaning of the other man's unfinished words.

"......" Sergio, who had a bad face, silently walked to the chair next to him and sat down, and after a while he said, "According to you, although it is very likely that this will be the case, we cannot ignore the orders of the Empire...... In this way, we have to see people in life, and we have to see corpses in death, even if the high-level wants to punish us, I will admit it. ”

"Okay, you wait for me a while, I'll go do something." The young man nodded, he also knew that Sergio said this, and it was the only way to do it in desperation.

Watching the young man walk out of the background of the basement, Sergio stroked his forehead......

……

Almost at the same time, in a mountain forest in the west of the region called Repes, Zhang Shixin, who was eating dinner, looked curiously at the girl who was distributing canned food to the soldiers, wearing a pale yellow dress, with long light red soft long hair, and a smile on her face, but she didn't expect the other party to find that she was looking at him, and viciously waved the big soup spoon in her hand to demonstrate to him.

Zhang Shixin shrugged his shoulders and didn't look over.

He has always been suspicious of the identity of this "picked up" girl. But whether it was her words, or the horror of seeing her "crushed" under her by a Duchy Coalition soldier, it seemed that she was from a small Duchy called Wildton who was captured by a group of passing soldiers when she went out to buy something.

Then she was taken to the convoy by these men.

Zhang Shixin asked her what her name was, and she said that her name was Hurley, Hurley Sivir.

However, although it is a temporary soft-heartedness, uh...... Well, he did show his disgust at the monotonous cans, and when he learned that the girl named Hurley could cook, he immediately let her into the military truck.

"Maybe I'm too tired." Zhang Shixin shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the harmless white dot on the tactical map, and then recalled the battle before he met the girl named Hurley.

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

"Wasp One, aim at that heavy tank, try to attack the opponent with armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells, and if it doesn't work, give me high-explosive shells all the time!" After watching the heavy tank reappear at the efficient range of his preset ambush point, Zhang Shixin quickly got into the turret, closed the top cover, and then asked the communicator to relay his orders.

"Armor-piercing bullets!" Cowi quickly withdrew the preloaded high-explosive grenade from the breech, and then the loader next to him quickly slipped in an armor-piercing shell.

Closing the gun door, adjusting the firing angle, and five seconds later, through the small map in his mind, the shelling dispersion was enveloped behind the target tank, and Covey pressed the electronic ignition button......

"Ricochet !!" In the turret of the No. 3H type, through the periscope, he saw the explosion more than ten meters in front of the heavy tank, and Zhang Shixin seemed to hear the two most mocking and helpless words in the game.

It's just that he doesn't understand what kind of weird ricochet can smash this 105mm armor-piercing bullet more than ten meters in front of the car before exploding.

If there was a slow-motion replay, Zhang Shixin would have seen that the 105mm shell accurately hit the inclination angle of the front armor of the opponent's hull, but the angle of entry was too narrow, and the shell was knocked off by the armor, and then hit the front armor plate of the turret, and finally spun and flew more than ten meters in front of the tank......

……

"Bell", "bell", in the turret heard two sounds of the hull armor as if it had been hit by something, the middle-aged soldier smiled coldly, he knew that this was the blow of those people ambushing them again.

He had enough confidence in the frontal armor of this tank, but when he saw an explosion more than ten meters in front of him and a crater more than a meter wide, he looked in the periscope at the hills that seemed to be overgrown with weeds.

The middle-aged soldier, who had not noticed anything for a few seconds, continued to look at the road ahead.

Unexpectedly, the front armor of the hull made a "bell" sound again, and then a ball of fire appeared on the ground three meters away on the right side of the hull.

"They don't seem to know that they can easily deal with those gadget shells, and for this tank, there is not even a trace of effect."

The middle-aged soldier thought proudly.

However, he definitely didn't expect that a few seconds later, another shell would hit his car......

"Boom", a 105mm high-explosive grenade burst in front of the turret of this tank, and the tank, which was still slowly advancing, stopped moving after a distance from the forward end.

The middle-aged soldier who was so shocked that his ears were buzzing, and it took a while to come back to his senses saw the driver's body crooked in the seat, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.

The driver's eyes were closed, blood was pouring from his ears and nostrils, and as soon as the middle-aged soldier touched him, his body immediately collapsed on the console in front of him, apparently killed by the explosion at close range.

"Heavy artillery!?" The middle-aged soldier hurriedly pulled the driver's body away, sat in the driver's seat himself, drove the tank, hoping to quickly leave the place.

He finally remembered that the other party did not use artillery when he destroyed those light tanks that he did not look down on, it was possible that the opponent's artillery was not in sufficient range, or it was possible that this was a trap in itself, and the opponent's target was his proud heavy tank.

However, before he could drive the tank far, there was another "boom" from the right side of the turret's armor, and then he turned his head to look to the right with a beeping sound in his ears again, and found that the loader was in pain with his hands covering his head, rolling on the turret floor, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Communicator!! Give the order to retreat!! The middle-aged soldier shouted loudly.

However, he did not hear the familiar voice, and he looked at the gunner who had come back to his senses in confusion, and the other party shook his head, and he moved his body a little in a bad feeling, and saw the messenger sitting on his back like this, without a sound.

"Oh, no......" The middle-aged soldier was about to say something, his already damaged ear heard an explosion in front of him, he hurriedly leaned over the driver's observation window to look, the turret of a Wal-22 light tank in front of him flew a few meters away, and a raging blue flame appeared in the exposed position, and a person wrapped in blue flames crawled out of the car, trying to roll out of the car, but he immediately fell on the body of the car, allowing the flames to engulf his body.

The middle-aged soldier shook his head, and suddenly he seemed to hear something from the top of the turret, and then a thunderous bang behind him, almost followed by a stream of scorching metal that engulfed him in darkness......

……

Looking at the heavy tank that had stopped moving at all and just stayed straight and straight, Zhang Shixin received the information that the task was completed.

He looked at the heavy tank again in confusion: "That's it?" ”

When he saw a little black spilling from the top of the turret, he was stunned......

Then he took aim at the convoy of transports that formed the defensive formation......

Without tanks, the threat of infantry mortars to tanks moving at high speed is almost negligible, and the weak explosion effect is probably not attrition unless the opponent directly penetrates the top armor and vulnerable positions such as engines......

"Rush over and grab something for me!" With Zhang Shixin's order issued, he, who didn't know that he had become a full-time transport hunter, took the lead in directing the No. 3 H-type to rush towards this defensive circle.

And behind the third H type, followed by the second L type, the third assault gun...... At the end, there was a Type I assault gun that slowly emitted the sound of a "thud-thud" engine, and it couldn't keep up with the heavy military truck......

It's just that Zhang Shixin didn't notice that a figure in a pale yellow dress dragged a person and got off an armored car......

This figure has long, silky red hair......

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

Thinking back to this, Zhang Shixin set his sights on self-propelled guns again, and now he has a good impression of this thing, which is called the "God of War".

"First of all, congratulations on your military upgrade. According to the agreement, your secondary template will be upgraded, and tomorrow you will receive a surprise? Sinia's words rang in Zhang Shixin's mind.

Zhang Shixin, who was in a good mood, thought jokingly: "Another bottle? ”

Sinia looked at Zhang Shixin angrily: "That's your goal?" Stupid, but pretty much that. For you, though, you have to be prepared to be poor. ”

"Forget it, now I have more than 1.4 million silver coins, and I want to know what the hell is going to happen to me and I will become a poor egg." Zhang Shixin didn't take Sinia's words to heart, and then he smelled a burst of fragrance.

"Auburn...... Uh, that's you? Zhang Shixin thought that Oburn had brought him dinner, but when he saw that it was the red-haired girl, Hurley, he said in surprise.

"Are you surprised to see me? I wonder if you're going to be with these big men all the time, right? Giggle...... Hurley said as she handed a lunch box to Zhang Shixin, and then said, "You're okay with me sitting here, right?" ”

"Uh...... You like it. Zhang Shixin looked at the other party's smile and reluctantly agreed to the girl's request......

The two of them just talked without a word......

As for the Knights of the Bonfire, who had joined the new members, the honorary captain seduced the new members, but to no avail, because he was pressed to the ground by his colleagues who had passed the time limit, and exchanged intimate ......

Oburn, who was looking around him, wanted to join in, but he found that his commander was lucky.

But that's all he had to think about......

Because he's on guard now......

Oban raised his binoculars again to look into the distance, and then put the food spoon in his lunch box into his mouth......

Note 1: Many people have the misconception that the gun shield and the front armor of the turret will form a gap effect of double armor, which is actually a misunderstanding that is not completely wrong.

So what's actually going on?

Let's take the much-criticized Tiger style in the game as an analogy:

The thickness of the Tiger gun shield is between 110 mm ~ 120 mm, and the front armor is nominal 102. But in fact, there are many places that can be directly penetrated.

In fact, the turret's front armor is not hermetically sealed, it has a hollowed-out position, which basically forms an inverted T-shape or cross. Because the top layer of armor of the turret of many tanks can be cut with a welding torch and lifted by a crane to replace the non-barrel part of the gun, or the large parts inside the turret.

These hollowed-out locations can only be protected by artillery shield armor.

As for why it is mainly an inverted T-shape, a cross instead of an I-shape, because there are some accessories to be added near the gun or a reserved upgrade position. The I-line was very limited, and if it was decided to upgrade it with a new gun, it was often necessary to design a new turret.

It's just that the front armor of the Tiger turret in the game is basically dug up, which is not very reasonable, because the upper and lower ends of the Tiger turret can be worn casually, what is the reason, except for a space above the barrel, the other upper end and the lower end behind the gun shield are real turret front armor.

It is also worth noting that no matter what kind of tank, assault gun, tank destroyer or the like, as long as the area where the barrel is active and a certain range that extends out, the front armor is hollowed out.

However, things like tank assault guns are more likely to be dug into a circle or oval shape within the range of movement of the barrel and around the periphery.

Therefore, the cannon shield part is not necessarily double protection, the closer to the moving part of the gun barrel, it is the area where there is only the gun shield protection. In general, if you penetrate the position around the barrel, you will be able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy's crew, as well as damage the artillery.

The so-called double armor is not the absence of it, but depends on the position.

And the cannon shield is actually not so easy to penetrate, in the game, experienced people will gently move the gun barrel up and down to form a passive angled, disguised thickened armor cannon shield, increase their survivability.

In reality, this does not happen, but experienced commanders will quickly order the movement after firing a shot, and it is better to have time for the gunner to aim at such a small position at a distance, rather than directly asking the gunner to aim at the opponent's hull.

Therefore, in World War II, the destroyed tanks were rarely destroyed by the turret during the counterfire, and most of the hulls were broken through and lost their combat capability.
