Zhang Shixin still has a considerable number of tanks and combat vehicles on hand. But in terms of quality, it is a bit uneven.

The AMX-13 (90mm) light tank is still cruising in the periphery of the artillery position, Zhang Shixin does not dare to take it lightly, after all, compared to the huge base of the enemy, the other side only has so many light tanks, Zhang Shixin thinks this is unlikely.

Moreover, with the complexity of street fighting, the armor protection is inferior to that of armored vehicles, and the survivability of the AMX-13 light tank is definitely not much better.

Unlike in the game, a tank crashing into a house or an abandoned tank can be a terrible thing. If the AMX-13 crashes into the wreckage of a destroyed IS heavy tank, it is estimated that it will not be much different from the fate of crashing into the King Tiger.

The faster you go, the worse you die.

Therefore, the AMX-13 light tank, which has lost its mobile surname, is still fighting outside, but it is more able to play a role.

After all, with the width of the street, if you turn at high speed, you will either hit a house or something else......

In a word, Zhang Shixin thinks that real combat still uses the same set of combat methods in the game, and he will definitely die a miserable death.

Because there are so many restrictions.

Despite the lack of the AMX-13's burst firepower, the tide of battle was quickly turned around after a tank destroyer appeared on the battlefield.

……

"Rush over !!" After a coalition of tank formations destroyed two Cheetah tank destroyers, the streets were filled with the exception of the infantry, who were not much different from rats in their eyes, hoping to quickly occupy the street in the time that Zhang Shixin's troops did not react.

It's just that a tall tank destroyer appeared in front of them.

The off-white metal hull and the extra-long barrel that exceeds more than two meters above the hull illustrate the power of this vehicle.

"What the hell is this, shoot!" The commander of the tank formation hurriedly gave the order.

Soon, several tanks in the street shook their turrets, then stopped briefly and fired at the tall tank destroyer.

Less than two seconds after a few cannon shots, the shells exploded one after another, and then, the tank destroyer passed through the smoke, and a few scratches on the front of the hull showed that the tanks' shots were not effective at all.

"Snort......" The commanders gasped as the monstrous tank destroyer slowly stopped.

They are well aware that the other side is not going to fight because of damage but because of the ability to fight, but is aiming at the target of the attack.

"Reversing !!" Several commanders quickly made their own judgments and gave relevant instructions.

But they acted too late.

With a burst of fire from the muzzle of the tank destroyer, a 105mm shell easily penetrated the side of the turret of one of the tanks, and a violent explosion sounded, and in a few seconds, the turret of this tank was blown into the sky.

The tank formations behind the coalition forces were constantly firing at the tank destroyer, but unfortunately, even if they could hit the tank destroyer's warhead, they would not be able to penetrate the front armor plate of the opponent's warhead.

The shells that hit this tank were either directly ejected by the armor plates, or they were forced to explode on the armor plates, and they could not pose a certain threat to the tank destroyers at all.

"Reload high-explosive shells! Launch! Several tanks then wanted to damage the tank destroyer with high-explosive shells.

However, after several successive hits to the front of the tank destroyer, which did not have much effect, they had to abandon such a method of combat.

Because, not only did reinforcements come from behind, but all kinds of tank fighting vehicles appeared behind the tank destroyer on the opposite side.

The two sides were in the middle of this street, and the tanks and tanks against tanks and tanks against the infantry, engaged in fierce battles.

Not only on this street, but also on several other major streets, a similar situation has occurred.

The difference is just the difference in the number of tanks and fighting vehicles that are engaged on both sides.

The machine gun on the front of the tank destroyer's hull continued to inflict casualties on the coalition soldiers, and many of the coalition soldiers who approached fell on the road or on both sides of the street that was almost in ruins.

Because, on both sides of the street near this tank destroyer, it is still firmly controlled by Zhang Shixin's troops.

This tank destroyer has a very good name - the Elephant Tank Destroyer.

(In reality, the Elephant is not much different from Ferdinand, most notably the barrel seat and the machine gun in front of the hull.) Ferdinand was miserable by the infantry, so as an improved elephant, there was an extra machine gun muzzle. ）

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

"We couldn't penetrate the other side's armor, and in that kind of difficult terrain, we couldn't go around the other side. Because that's the other party's zone of control! We need more support! ”

Looking at this telegram, the commander of the coalition forces sighed helplessly, because he had no effective means of support at all.

In addition, he wondered if it was time to retreat.

They had received news that the allied forces of the two countries in the Glenshire area had also completed their mission and had begun to return to the area a few days earlier.

I'm afraid I'll be able to get here in less than a few days.

At the same time, there is also a problem, that is, that country has broken its promise, and when the war situation of several small countries is unfavorable, it actually chose to wait and see.

He was angry at the situation, but there was nothing he could do.

Several small countries faced the weak northern army of the Gultoka Empire alone and fought in this stalemate, if they waited for the other party's army to come back, I am afraid that the battle situation would really become one-sided.

The strength of the alliance between the two countries, in any respect, is not comparable to that of a few small alliances.

Therefore, even if he really takes Gershalin, it will be useless to the battle situation. The gap in national strength is too great to be bridged by a slight strategic advantage.

For example, how can a country like theirs, which is barely able to even imitate the armored fighting vehicle of Olives, directly confront two countries that can mass-produce their own armored forces and have extremely solid industrial strength?

He wanted to retreat, but before that, he had to report his thoughts to the higher-ups.

Of course, he could also let the whole army retreat privately, but he had to think about his family.

"Perhaps, it will be fine in a few days." In the telescope, the commander looked at Gersarin, who was constantly rising from the smoke of gunpowder, and sighed helplessly.

At this time, a young lieutenant colonel came over and handed him a note.

"Is there such a quick reply in China? Ayrte. The commander took the note suspiciously, and after a long moment, he couldn't help but growl.

"You won't let us retreat! This is still the death order of the old man with a brain problem. The commander put down the note and roared under his breath.

The young officer, known as Ayrt, asked the commander: "Teacher, what should we do now?" ”

"Hahahaha, that's a good question. What do we do now? Make the other units ready for battle and enter the battle in Gelsarin at any time. The commander smiled and gave the order.

But this laughter, Ayrt sounded a sad taste.

"Then I'll go down and get ready." Alt was about to leave, but was pulled back by the commander.

"No, it's good for you to stay here. This war should not cost our future as well. The commander was silent for a moment, and looked up at the hazy buildings of Gersarin.

After a while, he said, "If you have the chance, I hope you will join that unit." ”

After the commander finished speaking, he patted Ayrt on the shoulder, and then said, "Live well, whether as a soldier or a civilian." You have your own future, and you cannot afford to lose your most precious things for a war without the dawn of victory. ”

As Alt watched silently as his teacher walked down the hill, he raised his hand and gave a military salute.

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

The coalition forces simply could not break through the armored defense line led by the Elephant tank destroyers in front of them, because their proud armored forces could not stand against the Elephant tank destroyers.

However, their tanks can easily be incapacitated by the opponent's ultra-long 105 guns (PAK46-105MM-L75) after two or three shells, or directly blow up the tank tank.

Some medium tanks were even reimbursed by the opposing side with a single shell.

As stated in the telegram sent to the commander, they were simply not able to fight the Elephant tank destroyers.

Many of the infantry were organized into death squads, hoping to destroy the monster with anti-tank weapons, which they saw as impenetrable.

However, more often than not, these death squads were killed by the infantry or other tanks around the elephant tank destroyer on the road.

Although there are some assault guns equipped with 155mm short-barreled howitzers, hoping to destroy the elephant tank destroyer and rush to the front line. It's just that as soon as they emerged, they were killed by the concentrated fire of various tank fighting vehicles behind the elephant tank destroyer.

The armor-piercing shells of the coalition tank fighting vehicle units hit the front of the Elephant tank, even if they use 120mm high-explosive shells, and the thickness of the front armor reaches 200mm, it cannot make the Elephant tank destroyer pose too much threat.

Although some of the Elephant tank destroyers were killed or injured in such attacks, the damage to the hull was almost negligible.

Their armor-piercing shells were more likely to be bounced off by thick armor plates, or forced to explode into blackened areas.

However, because of the elephant-like hull structure, these elephant-like tank destroyers, which are the center of the defensive line, suffered the greatest casualties not from the gunner, nor the loader, nor even the commander, but the communicator and driver responsible for machine-gun fire.

The ricochet of the warhead has a chance to penetrate directly through the top of the hull, causing damage to the engine or directly killing the front communicator and the driver of the hull.

This is a very obvious shortcoming of the tank tank with the rear of the warhead, and it is difficult to correct this shortcoming because the engine is in the middle.

At the same time, unlike other tanks, the front hull armor of the Elephant tank destroyer is more difficult to penetrate than the armor of the warhead.

Because the front armor of the hull of the elephant tank destroyer is 100mm+100mm, it can more effectively resist the penetration of shells and the killing effect of shock waves.

So in this case, the setting in the game is unreasonable, that is, the hull is easier to penetrate than the front of the warhead, and it is not considered a weak area, which is also the case, which is not very reasonable.

According to the real situation, a shell capable of penetrating the 200mm separate armor plate of the warhead will not necessarily be able to penetrate the armor plate in front of the hull.

So at this point, the situation of the game is not realistic.

Many coalition tanks desperately fired at the elephant tank destroyers, often to no avail.

However, many of the Elephant tank destroyers could only be used as stationary shelling fortresses and could not be moved, because the tracks did not have the armor protection in front of the hull.

After this period of intense fire, many of the Elephant tank destroyers had their tracks broken, and could only serve as fire fortresses to defend against enemy armored forces in a certain area.

Fortunately, the number of destroyed enemy tanks and fighting vehicles on the streets also caused a certain obstacle to the enemy's movement, and in this respect, in a certain respect, ensured that the elephant tank destroyers would reduce the danger of being rounded by the enemy.

After all, in this case, as long as the other streets are not lost, the opposing tank fighting vehicles will not be able to penetrate the front of the Elephant tank destroyer head-on.

The Kursk raiders, even if they come to the Otherworld, live up to the honor of their companions.

At this time, Zhang Shixin also experienced the helplessness of the Soviet army and the Allied tank forces facing the frontal tank destroyer (Ferdinand who played in the Battle of Kursk), because in this combat situation, they could not confront the elephant tank destroyer head-on.

Moreover, compared with the PAK42-88mm-L71 anti-tank gun, the extra-long 105mm anti-tank gun carried by the Elephant tank destroyer is even more of a nightmare for the coalition tank forces.

Because this thing penetrates with a 285mm correction penetration, it truly achieves invincible combat power.

In nearly half an hour of fighting, the troops, with the Elephant tank destroyer as the focal point of defense, eliminated a large number of tank fighting vehicles.

The enemy had to retreat and regroup again, because the streets were densely packed with tank ruins, and they could not continue to advance. There are too many obstacles formed the day after tomorrow, which affects their offensive plans.

Under such circumstances, the coalition forces were soon forced to withdraw from the battlefield again at the cost of the loss of some troops under the "gift" of Zhang Shixin's troops.

Zhang Shixin was also relieved in such a situation. After all, he also knew very well that it was unlikely that the other party would launch another direct attack from inside the town.

At the very least, they will draw some of their forces and make a detour behind him to attack.

"What follows may be the most brutal battle I've ever faced." After Zhang Shixin confirmed that the other party had temporarily retreated, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he was also worried about the next battle.

Although the streets would not again be the main point of engagement, he had to leave some troops behind to cover the elephant tank destroyers and some tank units for defense.

As for the King Tiger tank, it has long been assigned to the south of the defensive area for defensive tasks. Because Zhang Shixin was also worried that the other party would make a detour to attack his rear.

That's why there was an elephant tank destroyer.

"Now, maybe I'll be able to get some rest. After that, though......" Zhang Shixin shook his head slightly, because he wasn't very hopeful about the next battle.

Although he was prepared, and the self-propelled artillery unit was able to inflict heavy damage on the enemy who attacked by a detour in the battle in the urban area, the difference in number made Zhang Shixin not very confident.

Zhang Shixin had no other way, after all, he was not out of the battle yet, even if he wanted to summon more tanks, he was powerless.

Sinia reminded him, "Before that, shouldn't you deal with those civilians?" ”

Zhang Shixin heard this, and after thinking for a while, he finally walked out of the basement.
