Chapter 32: Wendell's Siege (2)
Words written above:
Some book friends said that my chapter subscription cost twice as much, heaven and earth conscience, I just added a penny. At the same time, I regret why I didn't ask first...... It's careless.,Alas.,Hello for the next book.,After all, I thought it was a must for all writers.,Embarrassment.。
All of you know very well that the average number of words in the chapters of this wolf is 5,000 words, and this wolf is not a 2k3k party, so that book friend should prefer to watch books with fewer words per chapter.
It's hard for Ben Wolf to say anything about this situation, but Ben Wolf doesn't want to be misunderstood for making such a charge for money.
Strictly speaking, this book is not very well written, and there are quite a lot of problems in the previous chapters. But now it's got to this point, so the book will be finished anyway.
With only 2% of the subscriptions, strictly speaking, the book is a big deal...... That book friend said so, what else can I do but tell some facts?
It's cold and the heart is cold...... Amen.
……………………………………………… Body................................................
Originally, the shelling at night would not have been very effective.
However, in the case of several WZ-131s that constantly guide the artillery fire forward, they have advanced optical reconnaissance systems, and they can feedback a lot of unclear situations, so even if Zhang Shixin's artillery unit is not accurate by a dozen, it is quite easy to take away a few lives and destroy some defensive weapons even if it is a scrape.
Grelian, who was also awakened by the rumbling of shelling ahead, yawned after rubbing his sleepy-eyed eyes in the tent.
She naturally knew that Zhang Shixin had begun to bombard Wendell City.
……
Ten minutes later, when Grelian appeared in front of Zhang Shixin, who was looking to the west, the artillery position had already moved once.
After all, even if the accuracy of long-range artillery is corrected by the landing circle with the Eagle Eye mode, the proportional accuracy error is also a fatal factor with a low hit rate.
The farther the long-range shelling of the artillery, the worse the hit rate.
This thing is not a high-tech thing that can be used after the 70s with aircraft or satellite navigation correction systems (in principle, it is about the same, but the shells are not navigable. Especially the GW-VIII "mouse", the point breaking accuracy between 4,000 and 5,000 meters of floating error has more than ten meters, it is conceivable that if Zhang Shixin does not order the artillery position to move, then in such a situation can be hit, more of the enemy is unlucky.
At the same time, the calculation of the landing point circle is not 100% accurate, this is also affected by factors such as wind direction, and sometimes the gunner can only shake his head when he feels that the landing point of the shell flies out of the landing point circle after firing the shell.
The Summoner Gunner can use the Eagle Eye to correct all the factors that can affect the landing point circle when firing the cannonball, but if a strong wind of magnitude 7 or higher blows during the flight of the cannonball, the landing point of the cannonball can only be said to be known to God.
Hawkeye is not omnipotent, but if Zhang Shixin's number of artillery is shot blindly, then it can be regarded as a non-permanence.
The artillery of other countries can replace quality with quantity, but Zhang Shixin can't do it.
Even if he had thousands of artillery pieces, after a round of shelling, the money he earned was not enough to buy back half of the number of shells, and Zhang Shixin couldn't be regarded as a loss.
Zhang Shixin didn't pay much attention to the artillery's record now, he was now waiting for a subordinate to fight him.
This person is a summoned general who Zhang Shixin spent a thousand points of experience points on historical tasks and was randomly selected.
These generals have infantry and armored systems, so to speak, as long as they are relatively modern generals, they will be randomly selected.
Of course, this thing does not include the air force and navy generals, because such a situation does not meet Zhang Shixin's needs.
Fortunately, Zhang Shixin's first lottery in history was not a cheat, and he won a general with an armored bonus.
"Hasn't that guy come back yet?"
Zhang Shixin heard Grelian's words and was about to shake his head, but he saw some movement in the west, so he smiled slightly: "I'm back." ”
A few minutes later, a mixed heavy tank formation of nearly 32 IS-3 and IS-8 came to the rear of Zhang Shixin's artillery position, while an IS-8 jumped out of a slightly chubby ** person, who was covering his ears and trotting in the direction where Zhang Shixin was.
Grelian saw Zhang Shixin's look of being quite relieved to the other party, and couldn't help pouting: "It's not a famous general." Is this man named Vatujing really worthy of your trust? ”
Zhang Shixin didn't hear Grelian's words clearly, if he knew Grelian's thoughts, he would probably laugh very happily.
After all, in Zhang Shixin's heart, winning this person is no worse than drawing Malinovsky.
Because the name of this person is—
Nikolai? Federovic? Vatutin, a man who had not been accidentally hung up in 1944, would have become a marshal of the Soviet Union in great likelihood.
……
In the forties and fifties, the Soviet Union conferred military ranks several times, and with the exception of a very small number of marshals and generals, who had not seen the war that broke out on the Eastern Front?
Even Khrushchev sat in Stalingrad.
And Vatutin's ability to command troops is not much worse than Zhukov's, and in terms of command ability of armored forces, he is on a par with Emalinowsky and others.
It can be said that if this person is ranked according to ability, it will also correspond to the A+ level.
If Zhukov and the others are S-level, it can be said that this brother's ability is already very strong.
Don't look at this guy as a little chubby, but he has a few personal skills that can slightly uff the combat effectiveness of the armored forces.
Armored Commander: Command the combat efficiency of the armored corps +5%.
Master Tactician: The combat ability of troops can gain a certain morale bonus when attacking and retreating.
Crowd Tactics: When the number of troops is larger than the enemy, it is easy to formulate a battle plan that will inflict heavy damage or even total annihilation of the enemy.
Commander of the Front: This general likes to command battles on the front line, and the fighter has a good mastery ability, but it is easy to die, please pay attention to this. (This skill was conceived from General Vatutin, who was killed while inspecting the front line.) )
Zhang Shixin is quite greedy for these four skills, after all, he is still an unskilled person who can no longer be white, how can he be embarrassed?
After Zhang Shixin was promoted to major general, he could also see clearly what stunts his subordinates could have.
Well, when Zhang Shixin was in a meeting, he was almost not scared to death, and all his subordinates had skills, but he was still a tabula rasa.
Even Alice, this mm, has two skills: proficient in coordination and familiar with aristocratic etiquette (this skill, as long as it is a person with a good background).
Not to mention Firay, Dress, Strar, Carter, these five skills **.
Firay's skills are: extremely loyal, unusually calm, strategic, conspirator, and master of internal defense.
Dress's skills are: winning the hearts of the people, handling affairs, being a master of internal affairs, aristocratic etiquette, and a master of propaganda.
Strar's skills are: Mastery of Training, Mastery of Tactics, Armored Assault, Surprise Attack Specialist, Infantry Coordination.
Carter's skills are: master of defense, proficient in tactics, infantry training, logistics management, and love soldiers.
The surnames of these four people are also very apt for these skills.
It can be said that Zhang Shixin's subordinates basically have their own good aspects.
It can be seen how aggrieved Zhang Shixin's mood is.
It's like your subordinates are all **, and the boss finds that he is the only normal person, and it is inevitable that he will be aggrieved.
In fact, for Zhang Shixin, Vatujing's skills are not very good, because there are two skills that are either chicken ribs or cheats. But the opponent's first two skills are enough to cover up the ugliness.
Zhang Shixin doesn't have so many people, so Vatujing's third skill can be said to be useless. The fourth skill, for many people, is no different from a cheating father......
But the other side commanded the armored forces, and the ability to play was appropriate.
It's a pity that Vatujing doesn't have the stronger skill of Bu Tan to cooperate with this generic surname, otherwise, Zhang Shixin would be even happier.
Of course, Zhang Shixin didn't know, in fact, Vatujing also had a hidden skill, that is, when he commanded the S series armored troops, the combat ability of the troops was improved again.
In fact, this is the hidden skill of the system corresponding to the tank series, and every general has this thing.
Another thing Zhang Shixin doesn't know is that skills are not exactly good things, for example, under the Vatujing drawn by lottery, is the general of Yuben, who can be called the most unlucky "famous general" - "Flower of the Empire" Abe Norihide.
This guy has a skill that makes people speechless - bad luck. (Many people have this skill, but for Abe Norihide, being hung up directly by a mortar calibration shell, what else can it be considered if this is not bad luck?) )
But Abe Norihide also has a very useful skill, that is, special forces training, Zhang Shixin doesn't understand this, and his subordinates and Vatujing don't understand this thing.
It can be said that Abe's ability is not too bad. However, due to the fact that the armored forces of the army are not very good, his ability to coordinate with armored troops or infantry is quite poor.
Zhang Shixin has drawn a lottery this time, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will be able to have such luck next time.
……
After coming to Zhang Shixin's face, Vatujing quickly saluted: "Commander! The mission was completed, but because of the large number of opponents, I still lost a small part of the tank. ”
"It's okay, you can see how dangerous this battle is, now you go down and rest, we will attack Wendell City at dawn."
"Yes! Commander! ”
Looking at the background of Vatujing's departure, Zhang Shixin was a little puzzled, whether this was a real person, or a fictitious person with an extremely similar surname.
Zhang Shixin's doubts were just for a moment, after all, he also knew very well that for the system, to summon the real Vatujing, the system was not so good.
However, in contrast to the situation of the rendezvous with Vatutin, the second person of the Heiningen family who defended Wendell City, the second uncle of the Grelian brothers and sisters, Husol? v? Hainingen roared at his subordinates in his own home:
"You waste, don't you mean that the enemy's main force is heading to the location of the big brother's new force? Well, now the defense system of the front line is slowly being destroyed by round after round of artillery shelling by the opponent. I am afraid that before dawn, our system in the northwest direction will be over. ”
"Lord Marquis, this has nothing to do with us." An adjutant general whispered a defense.
"It doesn't have much to do with you rice buckets? You are all too embarrassed to say this, if it weren't for your opinion, how could I send an entire armored brigade of troops out to pursue each other. ”
When several lieutenants heard this, they looked at each other and stopped talking.
Hussol? v? When Heiningen saw these people who usually only slapped his eldest brother, he was quite angry, and he wanted to shoot these people outright.
But he had to scruple about one thing, that is, the family power behind these people was not weak at all.
He also has a sense of being a rat trap.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Husol v? Heiningen could only glare at the men fiercely before letting the knocker into the room.
It was a herald who came in, and he handed a note to Hussor? v? Hainingen, quickly left.
And the latter smiled helplessly after seeing the words on the note.
Because the above is his eldest brother, the current Heiningen family ruler - Livingstone? v? Heiningen told him to hold Wendell as much as possible, and he prioritized leading his troops to attack the weakly defended capital of the Hilton Empire.
Hussol? v? Heiningen is naturally well aware that his eldest brother wants to directly seize the actual power of the Hilton Empire. Although it is a nest, the important surname of Wendell City is far less important than the capital of the Hilton Empire in the eyes of many family members.
However, if it were him, he would also give up his plan to rescue Wendell City.
After all, that place, and that location, is even more attractive to them, who have no way out.
He is also well aware of this.
There is not much time left for the Heiningen family, if the Heiningen family fails to capture Hiltonis by the enemy army in the east, or before the alliance of the two countries officially goes south to support the Hilton Empire, the best thing waiting for the Heiningen family is to establish a small kingdom and enjoy the end.
Whichever side wins, their next target must be the land that the Heiningen family now holds.
Therefore, whether it is him or the rest of the Heiningen family, they all understand the dilemma of their eldest brother.
On the one hand, it is possible to lead to glory, and on the other hand, there is a bottomless abyss.
Hussol? v? Heiningen knew very well that he had never actually been on the battlefield, and he didn't know how to defend the city well.
In addition, most of the main forces were almost more than a thousand kilometers north of Wendell City, fighting fiercely with the Northern Army of the Hilton Empire, and in those four or five days, there was no time to return to help.
He didn't have the confidence to face Zhang Shixin, who was called the "Hungry Wolf of Kapani", and a considerable part of the troops were organized by some small aristocratic private armies in the southwest region, so to speak, it would be good if these people didn't add to the chaos.
Therefore, he had to rejoice that he had stationed the other party in those defensive buildings on the periphery to serve as cannon fodder.
He wondered why his artillery unit didn't fight back, and there were also a considerable number of long-range howitzers in the defensive fortress groups on the periphery.
Hussor who has not been on the battlefield? v? Heiningen had no idea that Zhang Shixin's artillery hit rate had reached a point where all artillery units of other countries had to look up to.
Although the hit rate is still a little low on the whole, it is impossible for long-range artillery to hit accurately, and the artillery of many countries uses quantitative coverage to clean up the enemy, and it is simply impossible for Zhang Shixin's artillery units to cheat with eagle eyes.
So, in the event of a high-explosive bomb that was www.xstxt.orgm.
It can be said that long-range howitzers, which can only shoot blindly, do not know where the shells fired many times do not know where they hit, and the most recent shell was just a crater more than 300 meters outside Zhang Shixin's shelling position.
At night, the Heiningen rebels, who had no counter-artillery means, were killed or buried alive in the rubble before they had time to fire a few shots.
……
The impact of 600mm high-explosive shells can achieve effective killing with an explosion radius of 50 or 60 meters, and as for fragmentation damage, some fragments even fly more than 200 meters away.
Of course, the 600mm high-explosive shell does not produce too many small fragments, because the impact force of the shell will directly tear the shell of the shell into large pieces of shrapnel.
However, this situation can be changed, because Zhang Shixin unlocks an airburst bomb that can adjust the explosion time.
The middle part of this thing is inlaid with rows of dense steel balls.
Of course, the price of this shell is also more expensive than a simple high-explosive shell.
According to the description of the projectile, after this thing is detonated in the air about 50 meters to 100 meters on the ground, the countless steel balls that fly out can basically clean up the infantry within a radius of about 150 meters to 200 meters.
155mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers naturally have this type of gun, but the power is much smaller, and the maximum effective killing range is about 100 meters.
Of course, there is another difference between the two, that is, this is a 600mm shell, sputtered steel balls, can directly penetrate a wall with a low thickness or a fairly weak armor at a certain distance.
For example, if a soldier hiding behind a machine-gun shield explodes an air-burst grenade more than 30 meters in front of the ground, the steel ball may not be able to penetrate the machine-gun shield.
However, a 600mm air-burst grenade can directly hit a machine gun shield several millimeters thick into a hornet's nest with a sputtered steel ball in the air of 30 meters.
Large-caliber shells will not increase their area of effect too much, but their shaped effect will be stronger.
With the same weight of shells, a 600mm shell can't raze the White House to the ground, and it's okay to blow up half of it, but dozens or hundreds of 150mm shells, if they hit in different positions, may leave the White House with only a little ruin.
In the same way, a super-large caliber shell can kill three or four hundred people at most in the face of the enemy's infantry sea, but a 155mm shell with the same charge is not a big problem to kill a thousand people.
It can be said that in response to many situations, there must be corresponding means, which can be more effective.
Zhang Shixin was not too superstitious about the power of heavy artillery, but against the enemy army defending the city, the role of heavy artillery should have the ability to determine the outcome with one blow and a huge threat compared to more artillery.
As for the armored encounter in the plains, Zhang Shixin didn't say a word, and threw these GW-VIII "mouse" directly into space for standby.
The accuracy of this thing is too poor, and it is very likely that long-distance shelling will fly to one's own people, which is not a joke, even if the landing point is fifteen meters away, the mouse tank will have to stop directly.
Because of the rat tank trapped in the crater, regardless of whether the hull is damaged or not, there can be no living people in the crew......
……
When the pointer reached half past six, Zhang Shixin glanced at Vatujing from above IS-8 and nodded: "The whole army is attacking!" ”
Then, another round of shelling sounded.
However, unlike the previous shelling sounds, the roar of artillery was mixed with the irregular, but incomparably loud roar of engines.
Zhang Shixin also pulled down the top cover of the turret and sat in the captain's position, observing the situation around him.
At this time, Zhang Shixin saw Grelian, who was going to be a signal soldier alive and dead, because the rear of the tank was hit by something, and then his knee hit the equipment, and the pain was so painful that he almost didn't shed tears, so he had to say sorry.
At this time, from the outside, several tanks of considerable size, in a few E-75** models put their gun barrels in another position, it seemed that they were pushing the behemoth in front of them with great difficulty, and then the two slowly climbed towards Wendell City, a few kilometers away, at an off-road speed of less than 10 kilometers per hour...... (To be continued.) )
