Chapter 20: The Decisive Battle of Opérez (Part II)

Zhang Shixin was clear about one thing, that is, the closer he got to the palace area, the fiercer the resistance he encountered.

As the core area of the Osville Empire after the Osville Palace, the "Political Axe Street" is very well defended.

Zhang Shixin gathered nearly 100 tanks and combat vehicles and more than 6,000 people in the vicinity to launch a fierce attack, and when it was close to dusk, there was not much progress.

Of course, it was not without gains, because among the captured houses on the west side of the street, his subordinates found a large number of Osville Empire ** family members hiding in the basement.

Zhang Shixin looked at those family members who were richly dressed and looked like they were worth a lot of money, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust in his heart.

But he was still a little surprised by some of the more ordinary-dressed family members.

He learned from Dresser's mouth that the Oswel Empire was not entirely controlled by the great aristocracy, but that a considerable number of commoners genuinely served the country.

He didn't know if these people were the families of relatively incorruptible civilian officials, or the families of some nobles who deliberately did it to escape some things.

But regardless of the situation, now is not a good time to deal with these people. Zhang Shixin was only able to use some armored vehicles towing infantry guns to transport these people out of Opérez City when some armored vehicles with infantry guns arrived.

It's just that before Zhang Shixin started his next move, he saw the direction of the Osville Imperial Palace in the east, and dense smoke continued to rise.

"......" Zhang Shixin shook his head speechlessly, he knew that the battle was coming to an end.

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

Just as Zhang Shixin thought, after the Opérez army got the people in the palace to take the move to burn the palace, they also knew that they themselves had already lost their momentum, and they no longer had the determination to resist.

The remnants of the Osvell army constantly came out of the place of battle and surrendered to the Triple Alliance.

Why the Triple Alliance? Because Zhang Shixin knew that after the battle, there would be nothing to do with him. The matter of dividing up interests is completely incompatible with the Elven Dragon Security Company.

After receiving the balance of the GLP Alliance, Zhang Shixin rested in the town to the west for two days, and then led the remaining subordinates to the port in the east and officially set foot on the way home.

Zhang Shixin did not join the spoils distribution team, and there was another factor, that is, Zhang Shixin's military rank was upgraded to major general.

There are quite a few things to unlock for the Major General. Zhang Shixin should think about his next development direction for a period of time.

Zhang Shixin knows one thing very well, that is, his current strength is still quite weak. He had to think about his next path.

……

The Major General unlocked a Tier 10 tank in the game, as well as the corresponding technology from the fifties and sixties that appeared after the war.

For those level 10 tanks, Zhang Shixin has a good impression of things like the IS-7.

But the cost of the IS-7, as described in history, is ridiculously expensive, and it is simply not a good choice for large-scale assembly.

The E-100 super-heavy tank and the VIII "Mouse" super-heavy tank are too heavy, and Zhang Shixin is quite worried about whether this thing can play its role on the battlefield in many terrains.

Just ask, if you want to cross the bridge of a Mouse super-heavy tank of almost 200 tons, this is a very serious problem in itself.

This thing is too heavy.

Other tanks are either too expensive or just a thing.

The only heavy tank classes that make Zhang Shixin really eye-catching are the IS-8 (T-10M) heavy tank and the T110 series.

As a production model of the IS-7, the IS-8 is a simplified version, and the actual combat surname of this thing can be no worse than the IS-7 in many ways. Especially with the mobile surname, the IS-8 is a little better than the IS-7.

It's just that the protection capability of the IS-8 is too poor, and the armor protection of the hull is not even as good as the IS-3's upper armor in many cases, let alone the protection of the IS-7.

Just ask, the Tiger tank with a long 88 tank gun. Can you hit the first top of the IS-7?

Zhang Shixin felt that this was unlikely, because the IS-7's upper hull defense was quite good.

As for the IS-8, the first protection of this thing is actually a papier-mâché, at least Zhang Shixin has not encountered the front of the IS-8 hull that cannot be pierced unless it is due to the firing angle.

Of course, such a situation is the feeling that the game gives Zhang Shixin.

In fact, the late type of the IS-8 (T-10M) should not be worse than the T-62, this thing is a mass-produced tank that was not exported during the Soviet Union's installation, if the surname can really be the data in the game, it is estimated that there will be no such treatment.

Of course, it is also possible that heavy tanks have lost their former glory after the appearance of main battle tanks, which is also a very important factor. But on the other hand, the production of the T-10M is quite large, so it can be seen that if the IS-8 is really inferior to the first or even the second generation of main battle tanks, then there is no need for the USSR to mass-produce several thousand units for its own use.

It's not impossible that this is due to the fact that there are also large numbers of IS-3s, which are mainly mass-produced as transitional equipment. But in general, the cost of the T-10M is still much higher than that of the T-62.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin has considerable expectations from this market, which is called the world's last mass-produced heavy tank.

The T110 series, in the game's M series is also the top existence, this thing appeared in three models, a heavy tank (T-110E5) and two tank destroyers (T110E3/T110E4), it can be said that the chassis of this model can be quite high.

But Zhang Shixin was a little curious, why there is not much difference in weight of the same type of chassis, but there is a considerable difference in speed.

It's like the mobile surname of the T100E5 is passable, but when it comes to the heavy tank of the T110E3, it has completely become one of the three worst tank destroyers in the mobile surname of the tenth level.

The worst tank destroyers in the 10th class are the E-100 tank destroyer, the T110E3, and the FV-215** (183).

Tank destroyers are different from assault guns, and tank destroyers sometimes have to be responsible for the front-line firepower output, so the maneuverability of tank destroyers is too poor to make much sense at all.

The enemy won't wait for you to crawl slowly onto the battlefield before the battle begins.

Assault guns, on the other hand, can be used as self-propelled guns in a sense and as a firepower output.

In fact, the ballistics of assault guns also support such tactics.

Therefore, a tank destroyer that is too slow is often not as practical as an assault gun of similar power.

From this point of view, Zhang Shixin ruled out the installation of the T110 series.

Although the T110E5 and T110E4 are good, these two things are less than the top and more than the bottom among other cars of the same type.

Take T110E5 as an example, it is actually 113 or something like that, and there is still a certain gap compared to IS-7.

The T110E4 maneuver is not a complete pit, and the turret angle of fire is quite good, but compared to the AMX Foch 50-155, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of this thing is too far behind.

Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Shixin of the T110 series still gave up this project.

Now there are not many high-level heavy tanks in the system, and there are two types of swinging turrets, but after Zhang Shixin saw the fragile turret of the AMX-50-100, he was no longer interested in these things.

There is a chance that the turret will be damaged in the game, of course, in reality, but the chance is much smaller.

However, the swinging turret is different, even if his turret is not directly penetrated, as long as the impact force received is greater, the swinging turret has a very high chance of damage.

Whether it is the T57 heavy tank or the AMX-50** heavy tank, they can't get rid of this problem.

Therefore, in this case, Zhang Shixin can choose to unlock the tank, which is the IS-8.

The unlocked new heavy tank also has a ticket for the WZ-111 and 112, WZ-113 and a series of gadgets.

Zhang Shixin knows very well that the protection of these heavy tanks is not as good as the IS-7, but it has the usual problems of the IS series, and there is basically no depression angle at all. That is, it is difficult for them to hit some enemies who are below the horizon. This is not a big problem, but it is actually quite a serious problem.

Because there is no depression angle, it is necessary to adjust the firing position, which also greatly increases the chance of being attacked by the enemy's concentrated fire.

In this case, the independent research and development of the C series was also vetoed by Zhang Shixin.

From the perspective of actual combat surnames, the only unlocked heavy tank that is really suitable for large-scale installation is the IS-8 heavy tank.

Zhang Shixin also wanted to have other combinations, but after all, after the war, it was no longer the world of Chongtan.

Zhang Shixin can only follow the trend of history and choose the main battle tank that has gradually become the mainstream.

Most of the unlocked main battle tanks are relatively primitive first- or second-generation main battle tanks, and many models of main battle tanks are still equipped with rifled tank guns.

For example, T-62A, M48 Patton, etc.

But some have better firepower,

In fact, such a statement is that Zhang Shixin does not want to spend another unjust amount of money to replace the artillery.

In fact, most of the new tank fighting vehicles that have unlocked the rank of Major General have a new type of smoothbore gun. Zhang Shixin is of course very clear about this phenomenon.

However, the prices of those smoothbore guns are quite high, and if they are to be replaced on a large scale, it will also be a very high expenditure figure for Zhang Shixin.

Zhang Shixin didn't want to, and it was impossible for him to make such a sum of money.

So he set his sights on the upgraded version of the E-50M, the E main battle tank.

The chassis of the E main battle tank is somewhat similar to that of the Leopard I tank, but the height is similar to that of the No. 4 tank, and the armor protection of the chassis is 130mm/70 degrees - 80mm / 80 degrees - 80mm / 0 degrees.

This data is still inferior to the E-50M, especially the E-50M, which is equipped with lined protective armor, and its defense capability is completely explosive E-50M.

However, the 105mm-GRK55-L60 tank gun, with a stable armor-piercing tail of the firing tail, has a penetration depth of up to 360mm/500 meters, and it has to be said that the penetration ability of this thing is very strong.

If the cost of shells is removed, Zhang Shixin will be even happier.

The cost of the tail stabilized armor-piercing projectile is one-third higher than that of the APCR, but the increased penetration depth is better than the APCR, and at the same time, the accuracy penalty of the smoothbore gun is completely reversed.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin knows very well that although the accuracy of the smoothbore gun is not as outrageous as that of the artillery without using the tail stabilization shell, it also makes Zhang Shixin quite depressed.

Another highlight of the E-series main battle tank is the turret that is somewhat similar to the M1A2 tank of later generations.

Zhang Shixin is well aware that such a turret can be equipped with an automatic loader.

Zhang Shixin didn't have much thought about whether the automatic loader was good or bad, but Zhang Shixin knew very well that after the automatic loader was damaged to a certain extent, it was difficult to change this thing into a problem that manual loading could not be used in many cases.

Because once the automatic loader is damaged, the loading efficiency is not too much of a problem, because the automatic loader is docked with the gun chamber.

In such a situation, the automatic loader is extremely prone to the continuous damage effect due to gun damage.

At the same time, the automatic loader is usually located at the rear of the turret, and if the rear of the turret is pierced, the tank's ammunition is extremely easy to detonate.

Zhang Shixin didn't know that it was not easy to penetrate the back of the turret with an automatic loader, because the back of the automatic loader also had special armor plates as protection.

Zhang Shixin was a little entangled in such an E main battle tank, but when Sinia said a word, Zhang Shixin let go of his worries.

"Do you really think this thing has to be equipped with an automatic loader?"

In fact, this E main battle tank also has a model similar to the E-50M turret, which can be made with interchangeable turrets.

The latter cannot be fitted with an automatic loader, but can be fitted with an accessory called the Improved Autoloader.

However, Zhang Shixin compared the appearance of this thing, and felt that this thing was more like a kind of big head and small body, which looked funny, but this E main battle tank has better turret protection than the E main battle tank of the automatic reloading model.

It's a pity that neither of them can be lined up, and I have to say that it's not a pity.

There are a lot of medium/main battle tanks unlocked with the rank of Major General, what T-62, M48 Patton, etc.

Zhang Shixin knows that these tank surnames can be quite good, especially the complete body surname, which is much better than the initial model of WZ-121 (Type 69).

But Zhang Shixin didn't want to spend unjustly money to replace guns for the time being, so he could only let these tanks stand by for the time being.

……

After thinking about medium/main battle tanks, Zhang Shixin set his sights on light tanks.

I have to say one thing, that is, the WZ-132 and the 62 light tank appeared at the same time, which made Zhang Shixin quite entangled.

The Type 62 light tank in the system has its own advantages from the WZ-132, but both have a disadvantage, that is, the hull is not very adaptable.

Zhang Shixin is very clear that the C-series tanks that have inherited the parameters of the S-series tanks have also inherited many advantages and disadvantages of the S-series tanks.

The light tank of the WZ-13X series, in general, as a light tank, can do what should be done, and what cannot be done is still difficult to complete.

For example, Zhang Shixin asked these light tanks to have a certain amount of firepower, www.xstxt.orgm cannons, according to Sinia's explanation, that is, this thing is equipped with this cannon, and the recoil of firing a cannon can't withstand it.

Having chopped the most important artillery, the WZ-132 has no value in the game.

Zhang Shixin is also resentful of this.

But after Zhang Shixin saw a newly unlocked tank, he was quite excited.

This thing is the ** light tank.

However, Zhang Shixin saw the demand for this thing, and he was not without resentment: "You Y, you want to study the chassis of the M41 'Bulldog' and the turret of the M18 'Hellcat', isn't this a cheat?"

Zhang Shixin is resentful, in fact, he still has a lot of interest in this improved ** tank.

This is because this thing can be replaced with the M18 Hellcat's Pacific turret (which is the main turret in the game) and mounted on a T15E4-90mm smoothbore gun.

The 90mm shell is quite powerful, and at the same time, because it is a smoothbore gun, this new ** tank has good anti-armor capabilities.

This is in line with Zhang Shixin's picky requirements for lightness.

Since it has a certain amount of firepower, it also has the function of being a light tank.

There are still disadvantages, in addition to the shortcomings of light tanks, the open turret structure is extremely easy to destroy the crew members inside by grenades, and even detonate the ammunition behind the turret.

Zhang Shixin naturally knew that this shortcoming was not big or small, but he still clicked out the corresponding vehicle and directly developed this ** light tank.

Zhang Shixin also wanted to spit out: "This Y is a tank destroyer, and this Y is a tank destroyer." ”

……

Zhang Shixin didn't think much about it next, because he didn't have enough experience.

So he shifted his gaze to infantry equipment and unlocking technologies.

There is a large number of newly unlocked infantry equipment, and more of them are a variety of guns and ancillary equipment.

Zhang Shixin didn't think about the firearms of individual soldiers, because in his eyes, the firearms now installed were enough to complete the war mission.

He set his sights on the machine gun.

In the fifties and sixties, there was no shortage of excellent machine guns, and Zhang Shixin now mainly chooses large-caliber machine guns, rotary tube machine guns and squad machine guns.

Large-caliber machine gun, Zhang Shixin is more optimistic about the Soviet DPK14.5mm machine gun, the penetration of this thing is better than the M2 heavy machine gun, and the lethality is also greater, and it is much better than the M2 heavy machine gun against some thin-skinned armored vehicles.

Although the firing rate of this thing is a little slower, Zhang Shixin doesn't care too much. Because the rate of fire of the machine gun is too fast, it is not a good thing.

The turn-tube cannon chose the American M163, which was originally more of an anti-aircraft firepower, but after Zhang Shixin fell in love with the jeep, he had to add better defensive firepower to this high-speed vehicle.

After all, it is not too glamorous to always let officers sit in armored vehicles.

Zhang Shixin is not without the idea of installing jeeps, but the Jeep surnames in World War II are not as good as those in the fifties and sixties, so Zhang Shixin had to give up the original idea, but has delayed it to this day.

There are two options for squad machine guns, one is the Soviet RPK machine gun, and the other is the American M60 general-purpose machine gun.

There is no difference in the caliber of the two, both are 7.62mm caliber, but the RPK machine gun has a disadvantage, that is, on the RPK, it is difficult to add tactical rails.

In general, the RPK machine gun is better than the M60, but if the tactical guide is taken into account, Zhang Shixin has to abandon the RPK machine gun.

After dealing with the problem of machine guns, Zhang Shixin put his mind on the auxiliary equipment.

There are quite a few types of accessory equipment that have been unlocked, and almost all of them have appeared except for the later gadgets.

For example, what kind of ACOG, infrared light spot sight and so on.

Zhang Shixin was speechless, that is, ACOG, a crosshair red dot sight, should not appear in this place, because according to his memory, it should be in the 70s.

But he wasn't stupid enough to vomit.

The ACOG Red Dot Sight is a composite firearm aid, which is a combination of a crosshair sight and an infrared light spot sight.

The functions of the two seem to overlap, but Zhang Shixin knows one thing very well, that is, infrared aiming in the fifties and sixties has a disadvantage, not that it is large, on the contrary, it is very small. Rather, it means that the design at that time could not meet a certain shooting range.

Therefore, the ACOG composite sight is a little better than a separate infrared sight.

In addition, Zhang Shixin also put his mind on body armor.

Is there any use for body armor?

Zhang Shixin can't say for sure, because it is impossible for you to expect body armor to play a role on the battlefield.

Because the artillery shells are flying on the battlefield, the number of enemies is even more numerous, and in such a situation, Zhang Shixin knows that the effect of body armor is quite small.

When the enemy has a dozen guns pointed at you, you wear a hundred body armor for nothing......

At the same time, body armor has a better defensive effect against some pistols, if it is strafed by a machine gun at close range...... Hehe, this thing doesn't matter.

Zhang Shixin also didn't have the idea of equipping the whole army with this thing, he wanted to distribute such equipment mainly to officers and members of special forces.

The cost of this thing is also quite high. Zhang Shixin didn't have the capital to set up a whole army.

……

"What should be dealt with...... With all that out of the way, it's time to do something. Zhang Shixin lay on the ** face, and then meditated:

"Teleport!"

After a flash of white light, Zhang Shixin disappeared into the cabin out of thin air.

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

On March 1, 1933, in the city of Beiping, a young man in a suit vomited in embarrassment next to a street intersection......

Behind him, a little girl rolled her eyes.

Zhang Shixin, who was vomiting, naturally didn't know that he was no longer a simple passer-by here...... (To be continued.) )
