Chapter Twenty-Four: Glacier and Snow Field—Encounter
Attacking transport troops, such a thing is indeed a bit of a thing, but in war, such means are indispensable. Because it's also a good way to weaken the opponent's fighting power.
Zhang Shixin didn't think about helping the Glenshire Empire, he did it, it was just that the size of the transport force was smaller and easier to bully than those regular army units in groups.
He knew what decapitation was done, it was a movie thing, and it was very difficult to do such a thing in reality.
It's the same with the army, you can expect at best a reinforced armored brigade unit, storm a camp that is at least an armored corps to make a fuss, and then retreat unharmed?
Don't be stupid, the other party can block you with a tank alone, can you still get out?
Therefore, although Zhang Shixin also wants to fight in an upright position again, his own strength is like this, so let's find something easy to bully.
What is good to bully?
Convoys are the first choice.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin led his troops, and in the case of day and night, he half-guarded and waited for the rabbit to deal with several transport units of the GLP Alliance, which were not small, but the armored force of the escort was relatively weak.
The tactics are also very simple, the artillery covers one or two rounds, and then the 58 type + A-20 rushes to the sea of dogs...... It was done in about half an hour.
Of course, if the other side is escorted by heavy tanks, then the Cheetah and Su-100 will also show their heads.
As for what the King Tiger tank is doing?
On the artillery position, exchange ideas with the other wingmen.
Because when they rush up, many times the daylily is cold.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin had to let them join the guards.
He, of course, is no exception.
However, after a few battles, Zhang Shixin found that he had finally been promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and according to the rules of the system, the rank of lieutenant colonel could unlock another series of tanks and improved system technology.
Zhang Shixin had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he was still a little unsure about which series of tanks to open, but for the improved technology, he had already prepared a lot of silver coins.
Of course, it's not too much, that one-on-one raid with the other party, although on the whole it made a little money, but the modification of the Cheetah and the Su-100, as well as the production of the Type 58, these are all money.
Therefore, even the transport teams that attacked the GLP Alliance made a lot of profits (many things that were useless to Zhang Shixin, but useful to the supernumerary troops, Zhang Shixin changed hands and sold them to the other party.) And the experience gained is also impressive.
But he couldn't afford to develop too many improved technologies.
All of them are sky-high for Zhang Shixin.
For example, an improved cannonball craft costs 1000w credits, which increases the projectile penetration by 10%.
An improved shell charge system, even more outrageous, 1500W credit, the effect is to increase the power of the shell by 10%.
In addition, improved technology is a direct replacement for primary technology, and the effect does not stack, and in addition, improved technology requires primary technology as a precursor.
Zhang Shixin naturally knew that the system's arrangement was reasonable, and he also knew the truth that you get what you pay for.
There are times when there are improvements in technology that no amount of tanks or vehicles can bring.
For example, 1,000 T-34s are sometimes no more effective than 500 T-34s with technology-enhancing effects......
This is a bit of a general statement, but it is true.
In some cases, a 10% increase in penetration and shell power is enough to make a bigger difference.
It's like the T-34's tank gun is a bit reluctant against the Tiger tank, and there is a half chance that it will fail to penetrate the opponent's armor.
But Zhang Shixin knows that if there is a 10% buff, even if it can't be worn steadily, it will at least greatly increase the penetration probability.
Zhang Shixin gritted his teeth, almost drained his own family, and bought three improved technologies.
They are:
Improved shell technology, the effect is to increase the penetration ability of shells by 10%. Price: 1000w silver coins.
Improved shell charge system, which increases the power of shells by 10%. Price: 1500w silver coins.
Improved polishing system integrated lathe, the effect is unknown. Price: 1250w silver coins.
As for the last technology, it's not that the effect is unknown, but that the pre-technology of the improved shell process actually wants it.
Well, while Zhang Shixin was dripping blood in his heart, he also understood that this association was reasonable.
"But don't be so dark!" Zhang Shixin silently shed tears, and then looked at O'Nina not far away, and was relieved: "Fortunately, there is a water fish (water fish is a Cantonese dialect, referring to Wang Ba, which means wronged head. )…… Ahem, there's a financier right next to me. Maybe you'll be able to get your money back soon. ”
O'Nina didn't know that in Zhang Shixin's eyes, she had become a close relative of some kind of turtle......
Zhang Shixin used the experience accumulated in the past few days to point out the complete KV-1S, which is quite good for this kind of assault heavy tank that has significantly increased the rate of fire because of the assistance of science and technology.
The straight-line speed is good, and the rate of fire is capable of reaching 5.5 rounds per minute. Although the defense ability is completely incomparable to the Tiger King, even if there is a certain shape of a vibrating egg, but if you are unlucky, it is also a thing that is easy to finish.
And adhering to the most classic narrow space of the Soviet system, Zhang Shixin knows very well that this limit rate of fire of 5.5 rounds per minute is a very unreliable data.
Of course, it's a lot faster than the game.
Moreover, the penetration depth of the shell has increased to about 500 meters/192mm, in this case, Zhang Shixin said that if the KV-1S can be better in steering, he would not mind a large number of installations.
However, at the same time that the King Tiger tank is often not counted on, and the team lacks heavy tanks, Zhang Shixin had no choice but to list it as a candidate equipment.
However, Zhang Shixin doesn't feel wasteful at all, because the IS series has to be extended from here anyway.
IS series tanks, Zhang Shixin believes that they should be summarized as assault-type heavy tanks, because the mobility and steering are getting better and better, which is bound to take on more combat missions.
At the very least, they all have to survive until the appearance of a defensive support tank like the Tiger King.
The German heavy tank system is a defensive support type, after all, the speed flaw is there, and many times it can only carry out support actions.
If it was a confrontation battle, Zhang Shixin found that many times, it would be good for the Tiger King to rush to the battlefield. So let's not mention the E-series heavy tanks and the Rat family, except for Mickey (VK-4502PA), which tank can rush to the battlefield in the first place?
F series of heavy tans, Zhang Shixin's feeling for them is that the earlier they are, the less good they are.
Showing that things like B1 and B2 can dominate the game, but when the Panther G-type is worn by the way, what is the use of that thing's defense?
Since the best of the best is not worth mentioning, let alone the others......
As for the other heavy tanks of the French system, Zhang Shixin believes that except for the AMX-M4, which is a little useful, the other weaknesses are very obvious.
He focused on the AMX-50 family.
What AMX-50B, what AMX-50 "Foch" came out of here.
In addition, the AMX-50 Foch also extended a 5-shot magazine gun that replaced the Chadilon 155 series, called the AMX-50 Foch MSP self-propelled gun.
Looking at the picture introduction, the warhead is similar to the open-top type of Project 261, and there is a small crane on the left side of the warhead
This is also the case that the 5-shot magazine is fed by a downward pressure type, and there is no way to remove the top cover in order to ensure the angle of fire.
Even if a couple of grenades appear, the warhead is dead to the disadvantages.
Zhang Shixin also thought about how terrifying the continuous firepower of this thing was.
As for the tank and combat vehicles of the F series, Zhang Shixin is most concerned about the light tank troops.
Although it is easy to kill with one shot, it has to be denied that the AMX-13 series can easily tear through the defensive lines of the opposing infantry and break through the weak points of the defense of the opponent's armored forces.
This thing is a direct fight against tanks and combat vehicles, which is very stressful, but it is a big killer for lightly armored or unarmored targets.
Tank-to-infantry weapons, not only artillery and machine guns, but their tracks can also be a nightmare for infantry.
However, on the other hand, the enemy can easily scrap an AMX-13 with a cluster grenade, and the armor is too weak, which is the weakness of the light tank.
But like himself, even a more crispy tank, Zhang Shixin really can't find an object with a more contrasting surname.
Although Chadilun's surname is better, the target is larger, and the armor protection is not much better, and there is no extension system, Zhang Shixin said that he is not interested in him.
The AMX50 series also has a completely dark horizontal extension line, and Zhang Shixin didn't ask Sinia about the object of this line that is most likely to be extended: the AMX-30 main battle tank.
This thing is the main battle tank series he can think of.
Perhaps in addition to the Leopard I, there are more main battle tanks in other departments.
But it's all a dark patch, Zhang Shixin's thoughts are:
The main battle of the Soviet system should be the T-72A, and if the American system is used, Zhang Shixin expects that it should be the M1 basic model or the XM1 as a prototype, rather than some kind of mBT-70 and other cheats.
The main battle of German tanks has already come out of a Leopard I, and maybe a new gadget will come out of the E series line to extend from the E-50M. C-series...... Well, this one is really unexpected, maybe it's the Type 79, maybe it's the Type 85 main battle tank. The British should be the Chieftain main battle tank or the improved Chieftain Mk15 main battle tank.
By the way, Zhang Shixin tried to ask Sinia with his surname, saying that the KV-2 would really overturn with a 152 short-barreled gun on the ramp?
Sinia nodded, and her answer was succinct: "Have you ever seen such an unreasonable proportional design?" This is a hard injury, and the system is not omnipotent. ”
Well, Zhang Shixin shot the KV-2 directly, if he didn't still expect the S-51 self-propelled gun from the KV-2, Zhang Shixin estimated that he would never light up the other party.
However, as a self-propelled gun, the S-51 has a rate of fire due to the lack of scientific and technological support for 203mm shells, and it still adopts a system of ammunition distribution, and three rounds in four minutes is good.
So Zhang Shixin didn't urgently need this kind of large-caliber thing.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Shixin found that the rate of fire of the Assault Tiger King was also unbearable, and the corresponding ammunition technology was advanced.
Well, it is hopeless to expect the Assault Tiger King to be able to play an efficient combat surname in a short period of time.
The rate of fire, in the case of a small difference in caliber, is more able to reflect the combat value of a self-propelled gun.
Fortunately, as long as after a few raids of this scale, Zhang Shixin knew that he would soon be able to make the enemy feel the power of the 203mm gun.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that the GLP Alliance Army had already mobilized a considerable number of armored troops ready to trouble him.
Although Zhang Shixin knew that attacking the convoy was a very hateful thing, if Zhang Shixin knew that the other party had used more than 600 tanks and combat vehicles to clean him up, he didn't know how he would feel.
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
The commander of an army group of the GLP Alliance, looking at a scrap metal that had been pulled back from the battlefield that was completely irreparable, frowned, and asked helplessly: "Is this thing really not repaired at all?" ”
"General, this tank is so badly damaged that we can't repair it at all, and besides, everything inside is also completely destroyed, we ...... Doesn't have the ability to imitate the object. ”
One researcher was also a little difficult to say when he said his last sentence.
But it was the case, and he had to say it as it was.
"Okay, you guys go down." The commander sighed helplessly, he also knew that a tank was damaged like this, let alone repaired, and it couldn't even be imitated.
Glancing at this tank silently, he knew that this tank could tear apart the PLS-H35 heavy tank that the alliance was preparing for mass installation, because the PLS-H35 advanced production heavy tank did not change much from the PLS-H35 heavy tank.
The latter's conductive engine is a little better than the former, and the PLS-H35 heavy tank is equipped with a 115mm-TM35-L40 tank gun.
In order to carry this tank gun, which has increased its power but reduced its armor-piercing ability, the PLS-H35 heavy tank has also slightly reduced the thickness of the front armor to maintain balance as much as possible.
Since these tanks fired shells that were capable of penetrating the PLS-H35, which was a production-ready heavy tank with thick armor, it was still easy to penetrate the PLS-H35 with weakened armor.
He didn't know if he should report this information back to the top of the alliance, because by doing so, he would inevitably touch the vested interests of most people.
Although he loves the GLP Alliance, he can't afford to take his own future, his life or even his family for such a thing.
"General, we're ready." A young man dressed in the uniform of a major general of the GLP Alliance walked up to the commander and saluted.
"Well, since that's the case, it's been so long since I've been on the move. But you have to be careful of those nasty little rats biting you hard. The commander made his own advice to this gilded young general sent down from above.
"Yes, General!" The young generals saluted and left.
Seeing the disdain in the young man's eyes, the commander shook his head helplessly and muttered, "Quantity does not necessarily lead to victory. Especially when the opponent's strength has not been fully exposed, it is too much to rely on your own strength...... But something will go wrong. ”
He couldn't say a lot of things clearly, especially to the young generals who obviously had a backstage, and what the commander could do was to give the other party a kind advice.
……
A few days later, Zhang Shixin paid the price for his battle plan, because he learned that hundreds of armored fighting vehicles of at least medium tanks had suddenly appeared on the other side through the information fed back by the VK-2802 "Shadow Leopard" that was silently scouting from afar.
Zhang Shixin knew that it was too late for him to retreat at this time.
Because the nearby snowfield terrain is flat, the other party will be able to catch up with him quickly.
Will Zhang Shixin be so easily restrained?
The answer is of course not.
Before the battle started, he hurriedly summoned the 9 KV-1S heavy tanks produced in the past few days, and then let the King Tiger tank immediately rush out of the hidden place and go forward.
Due to the unexpected situation a few days ago, Zhang Shixin scattered all his light tank troops to all sides, so he didn't have to worry about his artillery being wiped out by the enemy for the time being.
As Zhang Shixin was in the position of the commander of the Tiger King, silently staring at the dense red dots that appeared on the tactical map one after another, Zhang Shixin gave the order for the self-propelled artillery system to shoot immediately.
The enemy's armored cluster did not seem to have thought that the enemy it needed to attack actually had such a huge artillery strength, and it was suddenly bombarded by a dense number of high-explosive grenades and rockets, and suffered heavy losses.
However, the other party still led the remaining tank and combat vehicle units to swarm towards Zhang Shixin's Type 58 tank formation.
As the tanks let out their own angry howls, Zhang Shixin knew that he was facing a very serious challenge!
