Chapter 21: Glacier and Snow - Snow Raid (1)
"General, we have been hit hard in the back by a force, and our artillery positions are now paralyzed by shelling from an unknown place." A colonel's staff officer of the GLP Alliance reported a not-so-good news to the commander of this unit.
"Are there any of our troops that aren't fighting the Glenshire army ahead? If so, mobilize these troops for defense immediately! Also, let the troops on the front line slow down the offensive for a while, and then send some troops back if possible! The commander thought about it for a moment, made his own judgment, and implemented it.
According to his thoughts, the number of the other party's troops should not be too much, and in this case, it is still possible for him to wait for reinforcements to arrive.
At the same time, he asked the staff officer to call for help from the command of the army group, although he knew that in three or four hours he did not expect reinforcements to arrive.
And all he had to do was hold on for more than five hours.
This is still a very simple task for him.
This is also the most decent way of fighting, after all, he is now caught in a two-front battle.
It is impossible for the troops in front to completely retreat, and he cannot even draw half of the number of troops, and if the front collapses, then even if he resists the enemy in the back, he will end up in a situation where the army is completely annihilated.
However, he underestimated the strength of the raids on their troops.
……
Compared with the conservative defense plan of the commander of the GLP Alliance, in Zhang Shixin's attack plan, artillery positions were the most priority targets.
Cover the artillery positions of both sides with rockets with "Katyusha" with high coverage, heavy firepower, but really poor accuracy.
Self-propelled guns, on the other hand, carry out more accurate shelling under the coordinates of light tanks lurking in advantageous positions.
Although because the distance was too long, and at the same time because the fire was dispersed in half, the shelling was not very effective.
But because the coverage of the rockets is also a little too large, many times even if it hits a place where the gunner is speechless, there will be some unexpected surprises.
You must know that the artillery positions of the Glenshire Army and the GLP Union Army have entered a state of shelling, and shell boxes of various calibers can be found in almost the entire shelling position.
In this case, Zhang Shixin's self-propelled artillery system, although the shells or rockets fired rarely directly destroy the opponent's artillery.
However, as long as the cannonball placed on the ground is detonated, it will bring a terrible scene of destruction to everything around it.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin's self-propelled artillery system, after only about six minutes of shelling, reimbursed more than half of the artillery positions of the two sides, and fell into the point of paralysis or semi-paralysis.
The artillery position of the Grunshire army was a little better, because the relative distance was farther away, which greatly affected Zhang Shixin's self-propelled artillery system and the accuracy of artillery bombardment.
And more importantly, the artillery positions of the Grunshire army, which had fallen into a state of mourning, had not yet been assaulted by the light Tan troops.
They used only one VK-2802 "Shadow Leopard" near them behind a mound of dirt, relying on the terrain drop, hiding themselves while reporting the results of the shelling to the self-propelled artillery system.
The VK-2802 "Shadow Leopard", painted with snow paint on its metal shell, was stopped more than 600 meters away from the artillery position of the Glen Charles Army under the help of several summoners.
The commander looked coldly at the artillery position of the Grunshire Army, which was already burning into the sky and full of blue flames, and then constantly fed back the direction that needed to be attacked to his own artillery through the communication officer.
Zhang Shixin knew that even if a light tank was painted with snow camouflage, the actual concealment effect was not much better......
The King Tiger tank was exposed to the dense exhaust behind the hull more than 500 meters away.
The light tank is a little better, because the engine displacement is small, and the relative exhaust is not as dense as the Tiger King, but Zhang Shixin still prevents accidents and asks the light tank to be 600 meters away if it is not necessary to scout in winter.
It can be said that this antifreeze fuel has been defeated.
The price is secondary, but the exhaust gas produced by the combustion, even if it is an AMX-ELC or an FV-304, can easily expose the vehicle at a distance of three or four hundred meters.
Well, Zhang Shi's heart was defeated by this thing.
But without this kind of antifreeze fuel, all of Zhang Shixin's armored vehicles don't want to move, and it will be better to just lie down until the weather warms up.
……
Compared with the relatively peaceful artillery positions of the Glenshire Army, which were only subjected to a considerable amount of shelling, the artillery positions of the GLP Union Army were not only paralyzed, but were close to total annihilation.
Why?
Quite simply, after the 18 A-20 tanks had led the artillery to take out most of the armored vehicles that were guarding, and then swarmed up, at the cost of minor injuries to two A-20 tanks, they had taken out several tanks and assault guns of the opposing side, and were now cruising around the artillery positions of the GLP Army, which had almost turned into a sea of blue fire, hunting for the lives of the artillerymen and destroying the artillery that had not been destroyed by the shelling.
In this world, artillery can easily damage and destroy enemy tanks by relying on large-caliber shells, but once it is easily approached by enemy tanks, then artillery is also very vulnerable.
This is not the case with self-propelled guns, not to mention towed artillery with even worse survivability on the battlefield?
Therefore, under the ravages of A-20 tanks, the artillery positions of the GLP Union Army were officially annihilated in just over ten minutes.
The tank gun power of the A-20 tank is relatively small because of the caliber factor, but Zhang Shixin still chose this tank series as an upgrade to the BT-7, mainly because the production cost of the A-20 tank is relatively low, and the output is also relatively large, reaching the speed of three units per day.
The A-32 was no better than the A-20, and because the armor protection was much thicker, the speed was also reduced. Zhang Shixin didn't choose this thing.
What does a light tank need armor protection for?
A lot of times it's a one-shot thing, but Zhang Shixin is not very optimistic about the little increase in armor thickness.
Anyway, they are not expected to be the main force of combat...... Well, Zhang Shixin admits that the AMX-13-105 tank of a certain size is also capable of tackling tough tasks.
Of course, this is just an acknowledgement. After all, he didn't really think about using this thing as a main force.
Let's not talk about the expensive ones to death, can they withstand a 105mm shell......
Well, that's a serious problem.
When the main force of light Tan is about the same.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin believes that in terms of firepower, it is enough for light tanks to be able to threaten the enemy's artillery and armored vehicles, and their role is still reconnaissance.
In contrast to the artillery positions of the GLP Confederate Army, Zhang Shixin's T-34-85 formation had already made contact with the enemy's support forces and fired at each other on a large scale.
The T-34-85 had a 100mm-D10T tank gun, in fact, he was the legendary T-34-100. (Previous versions of the game had this cannon.) Such tanks also exist in reality, but the turret has been significantly modified...... So here is still a reference to the situation in the game, change the gun without changing the turret. I have to say that the appearance of the original car is ugly. )
Therefore, in terms of firepower, the T-34-85 is equipped with a 100mm-D10T tank gun, and the penetration power and lethality of the shells have been buffed to a certain extent with the addition of existing technology.
In terms of penetration, there is only a data of 185mm for 500 meters, which is much lower than the 215mm for 500m of the Tiger tank, which is 88 guns long.
However, the lethality of 100mm shells is higher than that of 88mm shells, and the gap in power is further widened after the buff of technology.
And for these GLP tank fighting vehicles, after the 100mm shell penetrated their armor, at least the hull was damaged.
It's more about shells exploding inside the car, randomly generated dead people and bad parts conditions.
Reality is not a game, for example, as long as the cannonball is powerful enough, when it penetrates the corresponding position, it will inevitably lead to casualties among the members of the corresponding position.
For example, if the driver's observation hole is punctured, the driver will at least end up with serious injuries. The shield is pierced, and the gunner is likely to suffer casualties, and in some cases, the loader and the commander are not spared.
The internal layout of the hull of this tank has a lot to do with it.
Because the commander is also behind the side of the gun (mainly depending on where the viewing window is, the commander will be. In many cases, the shells penetrated the artillery shields, and the casualties were very serious. Provided that the shells are powerful enough.
In fact, the BL-10's 152mm shells pierced the front of the turret of the AMX-13 series, and it is quite possible that the entire vehicle was scrapped.
Therefore, there is also a very key factor in the damage of artillery shells, and large-caliber artillery shells are often easy to kill for small tanks.
For example, a 120mm shell in the game pierces the front of the AMX-13-90, and it only does about 400 HP of damage.
In reality, in this case, the turret of the AMX-13-90 can often blow up.
Therefore, the PL-L32 light tank mounted by the GLP Alliance, which rushed over first, was hit by 100mm shells, and as long as it was hit, the small body weighing only about 18 tons would inevitably suffer significant damage.
The ammunition racks of several tanks were even directly detonated, and the turrets, excited by dense kinetic energy, were quickly sent into the air with blue flames.
Of course, because the opponent's hull is also relatively low, the T-34-85's attack has a relatively low hit rate on the opponent, and more often, it often smashes out one by one near the opponent, splashing snowflake craters.
The PL-L32 light tank is equipped with a 50mm long-barreled gun, and the 50mm shells fired are basically powerless against the front armor of the T-34-85.
As long as the opponent does not directly hit the top cover of the T-34-85, then the T-34-85 is not afraid of these little guys, shoots a shot and then advances, stops again after reloading, and attacks the target again.
Even if the driver's roof cover is penetrated, because the power of the 50mm shell is very weak, especially the energy stone shell that is a level lower than the explosive shell, the driver of the T-34-85 is often killed as long as he is not directly hit by the vital point, so the commander has reaction time and quickly treats the driver with a small first aid kit.
The T-34-85 was also surrounded by snowflake craters, and some crews even heard the clanging of shells coming from the front armor before the explosion sounded.
With the advantage of snow painting, it is also difficult for the opponent to accurately find the position of these T-34-85s for accurate shooting.
Zhang Shixin believed that if it weren't for these damn exhaust gases, it would be difficult to see the position of his tank unit clearly, even if his troops were dry in the snow and the enemy was not about 200 meters away.
However, the T-34-85s, which formed a front and advanced forward, were not without casualties at all, because the main armored forces of the GLP Union Army also appeared to have appeared.
These tanks, which looked similar to the German F2 IV, were taller and had a larger hull than the F2 IV, but the front armor of the hull was a seamless steel plate tilted at an angle.
This is an invention of the Prologis Union that created the surname qualitative, the PL-M33 medium tank.
Why is it said to be an invention of the creation caste? Because this PL-M33 medium tank has a twin-engine system. (In reality, the T95 is actually dual-engine, but for games...... So this PL-M33 medium tank was able to boast considerable speed.
However, there is a serious problem with the twin-engine system, that is, the failure rate is even higher. This is related to the flaws in the design of the car body that cannot be ignored.
It's just that now, the opponent's PL-M33 medium tank is still closely following the PL-L32 light tank, which was bullied miserably, but still had to move hard, appeared on the battlefield.
Although their front armor had a certain inclination, the thickness should not be very high, and the hull was undoubtedly another handsome and rich hull, so the gunners of the T-34-85 found that it was much easier to hit these tanks than the little ones.
Although the opponent's front armor can occasionally jump a 100mm shell, it is more often beaten into a hornet's nest.
Because these tanks have a twin-engine system, the gearbox is not to mention the front, and the size is also larger, so as long as the front of the opponent's hull is hit by several 100mm shells, the gearbox will inevitably catch fire......
Some PL-M33 medium tanks were unable to extinguish the fire, and the entire tank was burned, and some crew members had to abandon the vehicle immediately to escape.
However, there were also several PL-M33 medium tank crew members who were burned alive in the hull, because the flames spread so fast that they even quickly passed through the energy transmission line, igniting the energy tank at once.
They couldn't run, because the energy tank exploded all at once, and the blue flames violently broke through the barrier of the protective plate, engulfing the people and things inside the car.
But the problem also came that these PL-M33 medium tanks were equipped with an 85mm-PT33-L45 tank gun, and the shells fired easily got into the body of the T-34-85, causing some casualties.
After a few minutes of fighting, the T-34-85 formation had to start slowly reversing and retreating, because there were too many damaged and wounded tanks, and they could not easily continue to advance.
And after these few minutes, the other side also quickly closed the distance, whether it was the PL-L32 light tank of the GLP Alliance Army, and the PL-M33 medium tank, they all closed the distance considerably.
After containing as many members as possible who were able to evacuate, the T-34-85 quickly recoiled, then turned and ran backwards.
They do this, not because they are not afraid of being pursued by the other party, and exposing their backs to the other party is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.
However, they knew that the Panther G-formation had already arranged an undulating circle, and they had long been waiting for the opportunity for the enemy to pursue.
……
To pursue or not to pursue is a difficult choice for the commander of this force.
He didn't really want to chase because he sensed that the current situation was weird.
In the eyes of this experienced commander, there was no shelling, no other tanks and combat vehicles appeared, and even the enemy retreated before the casualties were probably more than half, which is not a normal thing for a normal battle.
He estimated that the other party wanted to lure him into the encirclement, so he hesitated.
It's just that according to the system, he can't help but pursue.
Even if he had this right now, if the Judge Advocate General's Office consulted him on this issue, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
It's a small matter of losing his life, if it affects his family, he might as well just die here happily.
He gritted his teeth, praying that his thoughts were wrong, and gave the order to pursue.
The armored units of the Union Army of GLP once again chased after the dozen tanks that had "fled", and without waiting for the heavy armored units to come to their aid, they were about to pay with their lives for the actions of their commander.
……
Zhang Shixin only used most of his mobile forces in this operation, and other slower assault guns or tank destroyers were all on guard duty at the artillery position.
According to his assumption, the other side should not have an enemy that is difficult to fight even with the King Tiger tank.
Even if there were, he wasn't very worried.
Because he can call in artillery for support.
As for self-propelled rocket artillery......
It's still avoided, if the two sides engage in a stalemate battle, he has to guard against any rocket artillery that doesn't have long eyes and sends his own people directly to the western sky.
It's not that he can't trust his self-propelled rocket artillery gunner, it's that he can't trust that little bit of accuracy.
According to a classic saying: anything is possible.
Zhang Shixin felt that this sentence should be more appropriate in terms of the breaking accuracy of rocket artillery.
Even if you are far away from the center of the landing point, then you can be hit by a rocket launcher within the predicted range......
Although Zhang Shixin is very helpless about this situation, this is indeed an ironclad fact.
Compared with the Panther G type, which has been ambushed, and the T-34-85, which is being "evacuated", Zhang Shixin's Tiger King formation is going hard...... Climbing......
"......" Zhang Shixin was also depressed, but only this route was the safest in this area.
"It seems that I will not be able to make it to the scene for a certain period of time. Let's hope it's just in time. Zhang Shixin looked at the more than two dozen Black Panther G-types 2,700 meters away on the tactical map, thinking in his heart.
ps: The first more 5000 words will be sent, and there will be in the evening, in addition, the new one has been pushed, and I hope to be able to get good results.
As usual, I ask for collections, recommendations, and comments.
World of Tanks Tips:
Since there are artillery, it will be much easier to hide the enemy in the firing range of the artillery as much as possible. Of course, the current hit of the artillery is waste wood, and if you miss the enemy or accidentally injure yourself, please forgive the other party, after all, the other party does not want to.
If you have tried the M40/M43 of the trumpet with good results, 10 silver coins HE bullets will damage 7000+, and the results will be bad, and you will commit suicide by diving if you miss 5 shells...... Alas. There is a god in embarrassment.
Other than that...... WG is finally not stupid under the criticism of national players? Replace the Type 34 with a T-59-59, so that the WZ-120 sent a congratulatory telegram saying that I finally did not get scolded. (The Type 59 is the WZ-120, but the data for the full WZ-120 gun is more inclined to the Type 59 B.) )
