While waiting for the battle to begin, groups of infantry were busy digging trenches.

Zhang Shixin looked at the tanks and combat vehicles with binoculars, and used three of them as a unit to enter the nearest more advantageous position and ambush them.

It was too late to dig tank trenches, that is, infantry trenches, and he also asked the infantry units to dig them in a hurry as much as possible.

Fortunately, although it is a plain area, there are still many places, and the terrain is a bit undulating. Zhang Shixin can't force too much in this regard, and it would be good if he could provide his troops with cover that could block direct fire.

As for the curved shelling?

That thing is not easy to use even if it is a tank trench.

Therefore, there are not too many things that Zhang Shixin can do this time.

Every other section, a transport armored vehicle loaded with shells was hidden, ambushed in an area that would not be detected by the enemy at once.

Zhang Shixin knew that in the face of an enemy army of this size, the tank's own ammunition base was simply not enough. Although, it is very likely that a considerable number of tanks will be destroyed by the enemy before they finish their shells, or even before they can fire a single shot. But Zhang Shixin always has to take precautions.

The information fed back from the front was that the enemy's armored troops were still resting, and Zhang Shixin wished that the other party would rest as long as possible, because his defense line could not stop the enemy's armored cluster charge at all. Although in terms of quality, Zhang Shixin can be said to be several levels ahead of the enemy, but the huge quality gap is not so easy to recover.

The tigers can't stand the wolves.

Zhang Shixin is like this.

It's just that Zhang Shixin should be glad that he didn't encounter the enemy's artillery unit this time. And even if there were, it was a self-propelled gun. Obviously, the other party wants to have a blitzkrieg this time.

Blitzkrieg is not a pure armored assault, as tanks without infantry are likely to be beaten badly by infantry forces.

It's just that the commander of the opposing side may think that the army of the Gultoka Empire is still being dragged among several small principalities, and hopes to use the mobile surname of the armored forces to further seize the opportunity and expand the results of the battle.

In this way, Zhang Shixin understood the significance of the other party's action better.

However, no amount of talk is enough, whether Zhang Shixin can strengthen the battle cost ratio as much as possible at this time. After all, the number of armored forces of the enemy army is there. Rather than worrying about the other party, Zhang Shixin was more worried about whether he would lose in the plain.

Therefore, before the battle began, Zhang Shixin distributed a large number of "tank killer" anti-tank rocket launchers. Although the range of this thing is limited, only about 100 meters, but in this case, the "tank killer" can give the infantry a certain combat capability. Although such an arrangement, in such a combat situation, can play a very limited role, but it is better than doing nothing.

In addition, Zhang Shixin also arranged some Goliath remote-controlled bombs, which are not easy to use in street battles. Because this thing has a relatively short control distance and a better field of vision, in street fighting, these Goliath remote-controlled bombs play a role that is not even better than an M45 "Slaughterer" anti-personnel grenade.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin recovered some Goliath remote-controlled bombs to see if these things could play a role in such a battlefield.

However, unlike the Goliaths in the street fighting, these Goliaths are now tied to the body of the car with several bags of explosives of several kilograms.

Zhang Shixin hoped that these Goliaths would be able to cause some minor trouble to some of the opposing tanks.

As for counting on these gadgets to destroy the opponent's tank and combat vehicles...... Zhang Shixin admits that this is a very interesting idea, but it has no meaning.

At most, this thing can bring a heavy blow to the opponent's tank and combat vehicle track, and if you are lucky, it can also shock the opponent's suspension system, and even the engine, as for killing and injuring members......

Zhang Shixin thinks that if the other party's chassis is paper paste, of course this is no problem. However, he had not heard about the papier-mâché tank chassis. Therefore, Zhang Shixin does not have too high expectations for such a thing.

Unlike the infantry, which was busy and the head tank fighting vehicle unit was entering the natural combat area, Zhang Shixin's self-propelled artillery formation was protected by a considerable number of light tanks, hiding in a relatively dense reed.

Zhang Shixin also didn't think about using self-propelled artillery to suppress the opponent's firepower. However, because the distance is almost eight kilometers, Zhang Shixin knows that even if there is a light and tan coordinate correction, in such a terrain, without the assistance of the Eagle Eye mode, it is impossible to suppress the fire of the cannonballs, and it is impossible to achieve certain results, and at the same time, it will also startle the snake and alarm the enemy one step ahead.

If this is the case, it is impossible for Zhang Shixin to expect that he will not be able to dig ordinary trenches to have excellent performance and defense bonuses.

"Alas, the fate of too many disparities." Zhang Shixin helplessly sighed that although his troops had sharper weapons and equipment, they were hindered by the scale, and there were many things that had to be thought twice before they could decide whether to do it or not.

He couldn't help but think of a well-known saying:

"One Tiger can fight 4 T-34s, but can a thousand Tigers fight four thousand T-34s? The answer, of course, is no. ”

Zhang Shixin was very helpless, he seemed to be the one who used a weak number of troops to rely on advanced weapons to block the advance of a large number of enemies, and there was no way to predict the outcome of the victory.

A KV blocks a division, and a Tiger King blocks a division...... These things may actually happen, but it is clear that there are many factors that make up for the miracle of war to occur in that situation.

But now, Zhang Shixin is not a real miracle worker, he is just a mercenary leader who almost went bankrupt again.

Therefore, no matter how much he complains, it is better to take advantage of this time to observe whether there are any gaps in his arrangement or need to be corrected.

……

The IS-3, T-54/55 and WZ-120 (Type 59) were placed in the first line of positions, and they were in units of three, relying on natural bunkers as much as possible, hiding the relatively weak front of the hull, and facing the direction of the front with a certain strike angle.

Because of some slightly raised terrain, it also limits the firing range of these tanks.

Zhang Shixin also did not think about using artillery shells to smash an artificial crater as a tank bunker. The problem is that tanks with shorter hulls can use these craters most efficiently, but for the King Tiger and Lion, it's much better to do so than posing directly on flat ground.

Because the bodies of these two vehicles are too long, either the front is cocked or the rear is cocked, and in such a situation, it is very difficult for them to shoot effectively.

Therefore, the recess of the first line of defense mainly gives the turret defense effect of the IS-3 is not as good as that of the two medium-tanks, because this can strengthen the survivability of the IS-3.

The second line of defense is led by the ISU-152, and the AMX-50-100 and other tanks are mixed and matched.

This defensive line, with a relatively large number of recesses, is suitable for TD troops to conduct defensive operations. But the existence of the Tiger King and the Lion Pose is still honest and accurate to hit the enemy army.

The last line of defense is the Tiger Hunt and the Elephant Pressing Formation.

Zhang Shixin did this mainly by relying on the shooting accuracy of these two tank destroyers. After all, with multiple firepower, the rearmost artillery strike must be more accurate in order to play its role.

In Zhang Shixin's understanding, tank combat vehicles with outstanding defensive capabilities do not necessarily need to attract firepower in front, as long as the hit rate is high, Zhang Shixin believes that these tank combat vehicles have black guns, and they also play to their strengths.

If the accuracy of the ISU-152's BL-10 is as good as the Cheetah's long 128 anti-tank gun, Zhang Shixin doesn't mind the ISU-152 being black guns at the back of the team.

It's like Zhang Shixin used to play games on the earth, and the T49 he used to raise trumpets rarely charged into battle, after all, the penetration depth of the gun was not very good, and although the speed was fast, the armor protection was not much different from that of paper paste. In Zhang Shixin's eyes, the best play of the T49 is to install an artillery mirror, an advanced optical observer, and a camouflage net as a multi-functional reconnaissance vehicle.

He was not very willing to do such a thing with a tank destroyer, but the biggest advantage of the T-49 was that it could be assigned to a room, and the reconnaissance ability was on average the best.

The original field of view of the T49 with the changed turret is 370 meters, and the artillery mirror is silently observed in the right position, which can easily kill a large number of enemy troops in many cases.

In addition, the T49 has a decent concealment factor.

Zhang Shixin has tested, if the T49 is hidden and hung with a camouflage net, the camouflage skill reaches about 40% of the total value of the crew, and the enemy in the room is not 70 meters, so I don't want to see the T49 moving turrets everywhere.

So, the T49 doesn't look like a tank destroyer, it's more like a silent reconnaissance vehicle.

Mobile reconnaissance is also possible, but the steering of this car is not good, and it is easy to be caught by the enemy and easily killed.

With such a premise, Zhang Shixin believes that no tank must do something that is in line with "identity", and the important thing is to let these tank combat vehicles play to their strengths.

This is how Zhang Shixin got the understanding after the comprehensive game.

Therefore, a light tank does not have to be mobile reconnaissance, as long as it relies on its excellent concealment and gives his teammates the ability to exert firepower, he is a good light tank.

The AMX-13 is also very good, but the disadvantages of this thing are even worse than that of a slightly slower light tank, after all, reality is not a game, it will not give you HP, and a more powerful anti-tank grenade can easily take out this thing. So not to mention the cannonballs with enough power.

This isn't a great way to spot you, as it means that the enemy has a better chance of spotting you. You can't always expect luck to be so rebellious, dozens of tanks fired a few shots in a row, and none of them hit you.

In addition, there is another point, that is, mobile reconnaissance, the communicator also does not want to talk well, after all, the speed is habitually there, if there is a left or right turn, or even a sudden brake, how do you ask the communicator to calm down and convey information?

Zhang Shixin did not let the light tank do some mobile reconnaissance like in the game, so many times, the light tank was more in a relatively safe area, and the commander set up the artillery team mirror to observe the situation, and the communicator conveyed the information.

Therefore, the WZ-131 squad that is now observing the enemy army is hiding behind a weed, the top of the turret is open, and then the artillery mirror is stretched out to observe.

Unlike in the game, the Gun Scope is more effective at protecting the commander. (In fact, in reality, a lot of times striking the turret periscope doesn't necessarily kill the commander, it's mostly a matter of angle.) In horizontal terrain, if a tank with a low hull hits the turret periscope with a high hull, the commander will most likely not be harmed at all, because the turret periscope may be directly pierced, what does this commander matter? But if the angle is right, the commander is hit, and it is basically a dead word. ）

Why?

Because when the commander observes the situation with the gun mirror, he does not need to borrow the turret periscope to observe at all, and just sits in the commander's position. Under such a premise, if the commander is killed directly, the corresponding armor position of the turret is basically penetrated.

However, the armor of the turret is difficult to penetrate, and the armor of the turret behind the side is penetrated, which in reality is the loss of the position.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin is equipped with a large number of artillery mirrors, which is not only a little better than the periscope, but more importantly, it protects the commander from large-scale deaths.

The effect of the artillery mirror in reality is not as good as that of the telescope, but it is enough for the commander who is silently observing.

At the same time, let's ask, is it easy for a commander to lean out and observe with a telescope, or is it easy to be spotted with a gunner's mirror?

In this case, Zhang Shixin also arranged double mirrors (cannon mirror + telescope) for his subordinate commanders, of course, this is only limited to the commanders of light and medium tanks. The commander of the heavy tank is equipped with a telescope.

So, the enemy did not seem to know that behind the weeds two hundred meters away, several WZ-131s were hiding, while observing their movements with artillery mirrors.

Although it is said that the enemy army has not yet moved, Zhang Shixin is still very worried, that is, whether the enemy will send troops to detour to the other side of the river on the left and right, and then penetrate to his rear to flank on both sides.

If such a thing really happens, Zhang Shixin will really be made dumplings by Emperor Osvir [***]......

"But now is not the time to worry about it." Zhang Shixin smiled bitterly, then put away the military map in his hand, and thought depressedly: "If I had enough troops, would I still be so passive?" ”

"The problem is that you don't, so you have to pray that the enemy won't be too quick to make a move you don't want." Sinia's words rang in Zhang Shixin's mind.

"Yes, but it's not an easy thing for them to take a detour." Zhang Shixin smiled, because even if the enemy really wanted to divide his forces to flank him, they would have to find a bridge that could be passed by armored troops at a considerable distance.

Moreover, this is still the use of lighter tanks to achieve the effect of a quick detour.

Although it is also possible for the other party to build pontoon bridges nearby, but the distance is far, it is better to find those bridges directly, the distance is close, and Zhang Shixin's self-propelled guns are not vegetarian.

Deal......

210mm shells still bombarded the pontoon.

If one shot misses, there will be more than a dozen rounds, and a dozen rounds will miss, so a few rounds of salvos will always work.

Moreover, Zhang Shi couldn't imagine that if he was directly hit by a 210mm high-explosive grenade, what pontoon bridge could hold that kind of power.

But. Before that, Zhang Shixin thought of a very important question, that is, what did he do when he replaced the IS-3 with the M55-T1?

This cannon is a little better than the BL-9's surname, but there is a problem, that is, many bullets have not been unlocked......

Although it is said that the use of rifled tank gun shells at normal points can also exert the power of this tank gun, there is one shortcoming that he ignores.

This is because the actual accuracy of the smoothbore gun firing AP shells and HE shells has to be reduced.

The accuracy of the rifled gun itself was a little higher than that of the smoothbore gun, and when using the same shells, the actual hit rate of the rifled gun was much higher than that of the smoothbore gun.

This actually involves a lot of factors, such as rifling pressure and the like.

The M55-T1 tank gun has a good chamber pressure and does not have any problems firing ordinary shells, but in terms of accuracy, due to the lack of rifling bonuses, the actual accuracy has been reduced.

Zhang Shixin was very entangled in this problem, because he didn't expect that the accuracy of the smoothbore tank guns in his world was all the data scored by tail stabilized bullets.

Therefore, he didn't confirm that the tail stabilized bomb was actually a thing that could only be unlocked at the major general level, so he let these IS-3s be equipped with M55-T1, which he now called a regret.

He once asked Sinia this question, and the answer he got was, "I thought you thought of it." ”

“……”

Being cheated is Zhang Shixin's only thought.

Therefore, he now looked at the IS-3 at the front of the defensive formation, and his heart was extremely entangled.

It's no wonder, after all, the current IS-3 shells are still a more commonly used type of gun, and if they can play that kind of accuracy of 0.38, this is a ghost.

"It's a good thing that the accuracy of this thing is not as unreliable as that of the BL-10." Zhang Shixin could only comfort himself.

That's all he can do, after all, like the BL-10, a long-barreled cannon whose accuracy is not much different from the RP gun, Zhang Shixin found the whole system, that is, this is the only one, and there is no semicolon.

"It's a lot better than the short-barreled howitzers that assault guns carry. Isn't it? Sinia comforted Zhang Shixin like this.

Zhang Shixin had to vomit in his heart, speechless: "If this thing is not reliable compared to those short-barreled howitzers, I won't install this bird cannon if I kill it." ”

In the end, Zhang Shixin could only arrange this formation tangled.

After all, the defense capability of the ISU-152 is a bit out of the table, and the opponent can easily penetrate the front of the gun shield, otherwise, Zhang Shixin will use it to the front line to offset the hit gap caused by the accuracy.

It's not that Zhang Shixin didn't think about putting the ISU-152 on the third line and being accompanied by the tiger hunting tiger and elephant, but ......

Zhang Shixin was very skeptical, not to mention the impact of penetration attenuation caused by distance, just the accuracy of the hit rate at this distance, if the shooting direction was about the same, would he give his own person a shot in the back, and then surprise the other party......

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Shixin still put the ISU-152 in the middle of the defense sequence.

Zhang Shixin still has a lot of things to figure out, after all, many of the troops he is configuring now are new tank combat vehicles, and he is not easy to guess arbitrarily without actual combat.

However, the opportunity soon presented itself.

Because, several WZ-131s sent intelligence feedback at the same time:

The enemy troops began to move, and the target was their direction!

"Sure enough, it seems that I can only fight for one." Zhang Shixin clenched his fists, and then gave an order:

"All personnel are ready for battle, and self-propelled artillery formations are ready to provide fire support! After receiving the order, the self-propelled rocket launcher began to bombard the predetermined location! ”

Zhang Shixin's side began to prepare for battle at any time, but he didn't know if he could delay this force for a certain amount of time this time.

"If you can't drag it out, you have to ......drag it out as much as possible," Zhang Shixin smiled, and encouraged himself at the same time.

PS: It will start tomorrow, and this small volume is expected to be between 40,000 and 50,000 words.

I ask for your continued support, and Benwolf promises to live up to everyone's expectations.
