Chapter 33: The Second Cataclysm—New Members Join

Zhang Shixin remembered that before he came to this world, someone once asked him why artillery was called the "God of War"?

Zhang Shixin's answer is also very simple:

One: There are many places where artillery is emphasized, but more importantly, it focuses on large-scale shelling.

It is unreliable to expect that the mere output of artillery will determine the victory of the war.

But the firepower factor does dominate the course of the war, and if the platform is fully output, the artillery is powerful enough to tear through the non-fortress defensive front.

In addition, the role of artillery is to weaken the opponent's short-term combat capability as much as possible. Even in modern times, without gaining air supremacy, an armored cluster attacking an artillery position with a variety of varieties is not a good commander.

Because even if it is defeated, the casualties are very heavy, and it is even possible to leave the troops in a semi-crippled state.

Therefore, if artillery keeps pace with the times, it will never be left behind.

Second, the problem of surname-to-price ratio.

Why does artillery account for a large share of the army's heavy equipment?

Mainly because of the cost.

Although the missile is very useful, the power of a single shot and the extended surname can far exceed that of artillery.

However, the cost of missiles is too high, and the vast majority of countries use them as auxiliary combat equipment rather than primary equipment.

It is like the Second Artillery Corps of country C, also known as the Strategic Missile Forces. It can be seen from the name.

The amount of tactical equipment is much more than the number of strategic equipment, and these are more because of the cost factor.

Just like strategic equipment such as battleships and aircraft carriers, the maintenance cost is much higher than the cost.

The same is true for strategic missiles.

Their existence, in that environment, has few opportunities to really make a difference, and more as a threat like nuclear weapons is a strategic weapon.

Artillery is different, artillery is more of a low-end tactical consumption equipment, and the number of heavy artillery in many countries is even much more than that of tank fighting vehicles.

And the maintenance cost is relatively low, which is still able to maintain a certain scale for most countries.

Therefore, if Zhang Shixin's previous world, the number of artillery pieces would not have been replaced by missiles as many people imagined.

Because, even if it is a 203mm heavy gun during World War II, it can still pose a threat to many modern army equipment now.

In a more layman's terms:

If you can't smash you, you will be shocked to death.

It's like an M1A2SEP hit a 203mm high-explosive bomb in the face, even if it is a World War II charge, how many crew members can be spared?

The replacement of artillery is one level slower than that of tanks, and many artillery guns do not need to be completely replaced, but only updated with some modern template matching, which can also play a good strength.

But well...... It's true that protection is always a weakness.

……

The reason why Zhang Shixin remembered such a thing was mainly because when he was browsing in the store, he actually saw a lot of ununlocked weapons and equipment, of course, most of them were post-war equipment.

For example, the AT-1 individual anti-tank rocket launcher (unlocked by the lieutenant general), the RPG series individual anti-tank rocket launcher (unlocked according to the power and surname), and the Dow anti-tank jeep (unlocked by the lieutenant general).

As for the few non-post-war equipment, the surnames are the Rat tank and the V-3-S ballistic missile launcher. The former is unlocked by Major General, and the latter is unlocked by Lieutenant General.

For this V-3-S ballistic missile with a range of about 100km, Zhang Shixin said that he was not interested, mainly because of the accuracy of 3.7. If you hit 100 kilometers away, it is estimated that only God knows where it will hit.

And the cost is very high, two or three shots are enough to build an M68 "Atomic Annie".

Although, the fact that this thing can carry nuclear weapons is a highlight......

But well......

Nuclear weapons, the world has not yet discovered uranium and various isotopic elements of uranium, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Zhang Shixin didn't want to open this Pandora's box.

In addition, Zhang Shixin found that the lieutenant general unlocked a small nuclear energy battery, Zhang Shixin knew that this thing was used with the electromagnetic cannon plug-in.

If there was no such thing, Zhang Shixin really wouldn't have used that electromagnetic cannon technology.

Zhang Shixin doesn't know what electromagnetic cannon technology is all about, but it can't be a meaningless existence.

The technology unlocked at the Admiral level, the equipment is all pitch black, but according to Sinia's words, there is no shortage of good things in it.

And not to mention the technology at the marshal level.

It's just that Sinya said that there is a technology at the marshal-level level, and Zhang Shixin must want it very much.

Because this thing can make the speed of the mouse tank have a qualitative increase, and it is not one or two kilometers per hour, but a speed increase that Zhang Shixin can't look at directly.

Zhang Shixin was curious for a moment, and jokingly said a sentence: "Miniaturized nuclear power engine? ”

"That's all right...... You're blinded. Cinea's voice was surprised.

"......" Zhang Shixin opened his mouth speechlessly, and did not say anything more.

Zhang Shixin couldn't imagine that if the speed of the rat was no longer so slow, and there was a certain scale, then the power of the rat tank could be summed up in one sentence.

"Do you want to stop Brother Mouse? It's impossible to drop! ”

It's a good idea.

But is it realistic?

Zhang Shixin wanted to mourn for himself silently.

Let's not talk about how much that technology costs, and how much does a large-scale Rat tank cost...... Questions like that.

Just the experience required for that marshal rank, Zhang Shixin estimated that it would not be enough to kill the zombies of this world a few more times.

Maybe...... If you kill all the living again, it's almost there.

Zhang Shixin found himself dreaming now, a wonderful dream that seemed impossible to achieve.

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

The last battle was very good, but ...... There was also a sequelae, and in the next three days, Zhang Shixin's troops couldn't help but feel the urge to vomit when they saw red meat......

Zhang Shixin is naturally no exception.

So, he tried to get the firemen to cook something lighter as much as possible.

Fish or sardines were then used instead of red meat, hoping to keep the soldiers' stamina as much as possible.

Zhang Shixin did not force the soldiers to eat red meat (because he couldn't stand it himself), but each person had to receive a canned seafood, or else their wages would be deducted.

Of course, the calories and satiety of white meat are not as good as red meat, but this method is the only thing Zhang Shixin can think of, because it is much better than not having any meat at all.

After solving this problem, Zhang Shixin began to study what his next situation should be.

There are three options in front of him:

One: Use experience to punch out the VK-4502PA, which is commonly known as Mickey Mouse.

Two: Rush out of the AMX-13 and develop a 90mm gun at the same time.

Three: rush out of the T-44.

The three plans have their own advantages and disadvantages, and Zhang Shixin sorted out his thoughts again.

The advantage of the VK-4502PA is that it is relatively fast, the armor protection is OK, and if necessary, it can even act as a nanny for the main medium-tank......

But the weakness is more obvious, the steering is only a little better than the Tiger King, in terms of artillery, in addition to the short 105 tank gun, the top gun is actually the Panther II's super long 88 gun.

Zhang Shixin is entangled in a little, it is difficult for him to imagine that the positioning of this thing is actually a Zhongtan nanny, well, Zhang Shixin admits that the knots of the system have dropped again......

The AMX-13-90 is better than other vehicles in terms of maneuverability, and the firepower is okay.

The armor protection is still rotten to death.

The problem is the current situation, Zhang Shixin knows that although the AMX-13-90 is a magazine gun, it is ...... The accuracy is so poor that as soon as the 90mm gun is fired, the car will not be stable for four seconds.

In other words, the actual circle of the AMX-13-90 is not a few tenths of a second like in the game, but a four++ re-firing time.

Combining this and the weak armor protection, Zhang Shixin is also very entangled in this tank.

The T-44's top-of-the-line gun is one of the T-54's top-of-the-line guns in the game, the 100mm-D10T2C.

The surname of this gun is still quite good, and the mobile surname and protection capabilities of the T-44 are passable.

However, Zhang Shixin has no love for the T-44, and the scheduled stereotype is the T-54/55, you asked me to make a T-44 and I didn't plan to install it at all, what kind of thing is this?

Zhang Shixin naturally knows that in the current situation, the T-44 is the best choice among the three schemes, and the cost is much cheaper than the VK-4502PA with an ultra-long 88.

But on the whole, the AMX-13-90 has the best combat surname, the VK-4502PA is second, and the T-44 is third.

"......" Zhang Shixin was silent for a while, and finally made a decision.

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

A few days later, Zhang Shixin's troops had nine more vehicles, and an armored company of T-44s.

Zhang Shixin finally chose this plan, mainly thinking of one point, that is, the extended surname of the tank.

If the T-44 can't keep up with the needs of the war, it can also be converted into the Su-122-44, and the Su-122-44 with an additional 122mm-BL9S is also no longer a pit car in the game.

Although the protection capability has been weakened a little in disguise, better firepower is the decisive factor in Zhang Shixin's choice of T-44.

The extension of the AMX-13 series is to extend a Chadilon 25T that Zhang Shixin feels is not effective in actual combat, and the Lorraine 40T is directly extended from the AMX-1945 (M4), which is parallel to the F-series 8-level car FCM50T in the game.

The Lorraine 40T is an extension of the AMX-1946/1948 and Lorraine 155 series, while the FCM50T is a direct extension of the AMX-50 heavy tank.

Therefore, after all, Zhang Shixin still chose the T-44, after all, this thing also has a modification of a tank destroyer.

In this case, although the T-44 is not liked by Zhang Shixin, the high-mobility surname and the good power of the tank destroyer mean that Zhang Shixin can easily and reasonably arrange the establishment.

Because of this, Zhang Shixin did not immediately choose the AMX-13 series, which was originally planned to be installed on a large scale, but directly chose the T-44, a transitional model.

Compared with the previous two, the VK-4502PA, Mickey Mouse, has become a floating cloud, and Zhang Shixin really doesn't want to see the Zhongtan killer reduced to a Zhongtan nanny.

Although there are other better plans, Zhang Shixin did not have that experience to study, and secondly, the strength of the team was not greatly improved.

Here are a few of the plans that Zhang Shixin did not consider in depth.

IS developed IS-2/IS-2M, but Zhang Shixin did not find a greater difference between the two except in terms of mobile surnames.

IS developed the ISU-152, Zhang Shixin doesn't have so many experience points, and the experience of this cannon is like the complete body of the Black Panther II when he points out the complete body of the Black Panther, which is not much experience.

Su-122/Su-122S, these two things are too bad to maneuver, and there is a cheetah, this thing has no chance to appear, the combination of Su-152 and Cheetah is enough to solve most problems, they can't solve the problem, don't think Su-122/Su-122S can solve it.

The AMX-12T developed a corresponding self-propelled gun. Well, except for a couple of self-propelled guns behind the F series, other self-propelled guns simply have no real combat significance, the chassis is too light. Sinia didn't cut them all together, mainly because of the poor number of self-propelled guns available in the F sector.

Tiger P researched Ferdinand/Elephant Style, the Elephant Maneuver surname is too slow, and the Tiger King came out, if you accumulate enough experience, the Tiger Hunter Tank Destroyer is a better choice.

The Black Panther II studied the Cheetah II, and this later stage was slowly being studied.

The Tiger King developed the Lion Pose. This, Zhang Shixin really wants to say, why can the cannon Tiger King also be used, but the front technology is lion-style. It's not scientific!

Therefore, Zhang Shixin's final choice of T-44 was a conclusion reached after considering many factors.

Moreover, Zhang Shixin knows very well that although Cinia's knotty is not much better than Serb's bald head, it cannot be denied that her tank tree is more reasonable.

For example, the tenth-level car E-50M in the game was adjusted to a level of T-54/55, and then a Zhongtan that Zhang Shixin still didn't know what it was replaced.

At the same time, the tank tree with the extension of the chassis looks more reasonable.

Except, of course, for special vehicles.

Hinia still hasn't figured out what kind of tank the Su-14 is, and what the chassis is.

Fortunately, Sinia cut the Su-8's 152mm gun, and the T-28 broke the chassis and fired a shot 152, will it fall apart......

This is a very serious problem.

Regarding this problem, Zhang Shixin honestly doesn't pay much attention to it, because with the S-51, there is no great need to study many self-propelled guns of the S series.

As for Project 261...... Well, that's a problem. Because Project 268 is also a self-propelled gun.

In other words, the two can be interchanged, Project 261 can be equipped with Project 268 anti-tank guns, and Project 268 can also use Project 261 180mm howitzers as self-propelled guns.

It's something that can't happen in a game, but the reality is, that's it.

Actually...... Project 268 itself is a self-propelled gun, but with Serb's arrangement, Sinia is also a non-frugal existence, and she also did something that made Zhang Shixin speechless.

The thing Zhang Shixin is entangled in is that when the time comes, it will be better for him to use the 268 project or the 261 project.

Such a matter is still far away, but Zhang Shixin has a matter that must be dealt with, because the royal mausoleum of the Glenshire Empire is more than ten kilometers northeast of them.

"Is it finally here?" Zhang Shixin looked at the desolate snowfield and sighed softly in his heart.

"The order goes down, everyone rests on the spot, and remains vigilant." Zhang Shixin gave this order.

It's not that he doesn't want to go and explore this royal mausoleum right away, what is there that deserves his own visit.

But it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost dusk. Acting at this time, Zhang Shixin can't take this risk.

Therefore, he would rather the troops camp in this place with a good view.

Then wait until tomorrow to go in and check it out.

ps: There is one more change in the evening.
