Chapter 33: Wendell's Battle (3)
Not to mention the dozen or so D-series heavy tanks that were struggling to climb the turtle, Vatuin quickly cleaned up some dark bunkers that had not been cleaned by artillery.
Although the IS-8's M62-C2 tank gun is a rifled gun, this thing can easily reimburse a small bunker with a single 122mm concrete bomb against a relatively weak land defense fortress.
As for the IS-3 heavy tank, which is used as a meat shield, it is playing telescopic in front to attract enemy fire.
Vatutin, a summoned general, not only understands the combat methods in reality, but also understands some combat skills in the game.
After all, for Vatutin, the system is what he is most familiar with.
In fact, even if a summoned armored soldier is an elite crew full of main skills, the effect is 100% of the whole, and the commander bonus is not obvious at all.
It can be said that with the appearance of Vatutin, his skill **uff is no less than that in the game, and he learned the full skill car group of Ji Youlian.
Under such circumstances, the S series tank, with its extraordinary skills, did a lot of things that Zhang Shixin could not do to command.
Of course, Zhang Shixin is not clear about this situation.
It can be said that the super-standard crew can exert stronger combat effectiveness.
At least Zhang Shixin even if he let a tank play telescopic, at least there will be some delays.
However, the IS-3 and IS-8 are able to do it smoothly.
That's what Vatutin's can do.
This is an ability that Zhang Shixin, Fei Lei and others do not have.
It's just that when Vatujing advanced to the outskirts of Wendell City more than 500 meters, he found some strange traces on the ground.
According to Vatutin's understanding, the front is densely packed with mines.
To verify this, Vatutin asked the communicator to call in artillery to bombard the ground in front.
More than ten seconds later, several 155mm shells landed near the designated position of Vatutin, and suddenly, more than a dozen blue fireballs exploded and rose on the ground at almost the same time.
"......" Vatutin shook his head, he knew very well that mines of such density could not be cleaned up with small-caliber shells in a short time.
Even if the mines are dismantled by sappers, I am afraid the effect will not be too good.
However, Vatutin looked at the somewhat potholed ground in front of him, and suddenly an idea came to him.
……
Vatutin's level of control over summoners is also very high, he has the rank of lieutenant colonel, and can command summoners below the rank of major.
So, under his command, three GW-VIII "Mouse", which were constantly moving forward to shell positions, quickly loaded an air-burst grenade, and then set up a remote detonation according to the gunner's ballistic budget.
When everything was done, the gunner quickly pressed the electronic ignition button.
More than twenty seconds later, Vatutin raised his head more than 300 meters in front of the mine position, because he heard the whistling sound of the huge cannon.
After another two seconds, a fireball from a huge explosion more than 200 meters apart appeared in the air more than 200 meters above the mine position.
Then, the ground was quickly covered indiscriminately by small steel balls that shot out.
Immediately, the mines were shot through the warheads or fuses buried in the soil more than 20 centimeters by small steel balls.
Over a period of time, the mines buried in the ground are detonated one by one or lose their usefulness as mines.
A few minutes later, two more 600mm air-burst grenades exploded over the minefield, albeit in a new location.
Two GW-VIII "Mouse" fired a total of eight shells, and then cleared the minefield of a road about 70 meters wide that led directly to the west gate of Wendell City.
Naturally, Vatutin was not completely relieved of such a situation, and he asked four IS-3s to keep heading towards Wendell City in an S-shaped manner.
In fact, Vatutin's fears were correct.
The left track of an IS-3 was crushed with an undetonated mine, the hull of the vehicle was cocked a little, and then the right track, which was moving directly forward, had to stop because the left track broke and completely left the load wheel.
If there were still living people on the city wall at this time, they would be surprised to find that the left track of the IS-3, which was stuck in the ground full of steel balls and could not move, was miraculously repaired immediately.
As for why there were no living people on the walls?
After the air-burst grenade of the last cannon was detonated, the city wall was built tightly with masonry, and this time it was hit by steel balls into uneven potholes, and some steel balls were directly embedded in the wall, which shows how powerful these steel balls are.
In fact, the Heiningen rebels on the city walls were either dead on the walls by this time, or they had to retreat.
It can be said that Vatutin's mine clearance plan this time has had unexpected results.
……
After Vatujing had entered Wendell's Xicheng District, Zhang Shixin was pushing the car in several E-75** models, and it was finally late.
At this time, as the first wave of attacking troops, Vatujing had already fought bloody battles with the Heiningen rebels.
The fierce fighting between the two sides in Xicheng District was very fierce.
……
An assault team with its own weapons rushed into the house after an ISU-152 fired a shot diagonally at the corner of the wall with a high-explosive shell, punching a gap of several meters in the corner.
After a while, there was a violent exchange of fire from inside the building.
"Grenades!"
A member of the assault team whispered this to his teammates behind him while making a gesture that delayed for more than two seconds.
One of the commandos in the back nodded, pulled an M26A1 out of the safe, and then released the safety clip for two seconds before throwing it into the room.
After a while, a violent explosion was followed by a puff of smoke and dust, mixed with several pieces of debris embedded in the wall opposite the door, and appeared in front of the assault team.
At this time, there were also fierce gunshots and violent explosions from upstairs.
Apparently, other assault squads also carried out the cleaning of other floors.
……
Several members of the group with a Barrett M78 anti-materiel rifle on their backs, after glancing at the dead enemies in the room, one of them held an AK-74 and carefully observed the situation outside the window, then he shook his head and made a gesture of bad shooting here, and several people quickly left the room.
When they went upstairs, they met a seriously injured old man, clutching his abdomen with a large cut cut, and he was in pain and weakness on the ground. One of the snipers pulled out the M1911A2 from his leg, directed the old man in the forehead, and pulled the trigger.
Several snipers knew very well that the old man's injuries were too serious, and the military doctors probably didn't have a good way, so they could only help the old man get rid of this pain as soon as possible.
Dozens of seconds later, the sound of Barrett M78 firing was constantly heard on the battlefield.
The three snipers were hidden in a room that was not exposed to direct sunlight, firing at several machine guns and two 155 towed howitzer positions in the far side of the street.
The sniper's shooting accuracy is quite high under the ACOG's crosshair and infrared correction.
Although it is impossible to say that the gun will be hit at a distance of more than 600 meters, after the three snipers have changed their magazines, it can be said that the position is like being washed in blood.
It is difficult for an enemy to be hit by an anti-materiel rifle with a whole corpse, and even if it only hits a non-critical part such as the shoulder, it is possible that the upper part of the body will be directly torn by a 12.7mm bullet.
There are a few enemy soldiers who wear steel helmets on their heads, and once the bullet penetrates the steel helmet, it is enough to completely explode the back of the opponent's head.
So, on the ground behind the corpses of these enemy soldiers, there was a thick stream of blood splattered with a mixture of brain tissue.
The three snipers were about to leave when they saw that their mission was complete, but one of the snipers couldn't help but smile when they saw the leader of an assault team give a thumbs up to where they were.
……
The task of the assault team is different from that of their tank counterparts, and they are more likely to be in the narrow alleys clearing the houses where there may be enemy presence.
Sometimes, the squad that enters the house on the street can also enjoy the treatment of a tank tank and a hole in the wall, but more often than not, the squad needs to use their ability to place a small black Sorkin time bomb directly outside the wall, and when the wall is blown out of a gap, the two summoners throw the grenade into the house after the safety clip has been released for two seconds.
Grenades or grenades (grenades are more powerful than grenades and cannot be divided simply by structure.) At the very least, the Soviet Union and Germany used anti-tank grenades more often than not, calling them anti-tank grenades. This thing is a wooden handle. As soon as the safety buckle is pulled out, it is thrown out, and sometimes not only can it not kill the enemy, but it will also cause casualties to the comrades because of the enemy's counter-throwing.
Therefore, in some special environments, grenades or grenades should wait for a little time to be thrown out, without giving the opponent time to react, so as to achieve the effect of effectively killing and injuring the enemy.
In this way, it is more effective in street fighting.
However, if you are in a flat and wide area, it is better to throw it out as soon as you pull out the safety buckle, after all, some things can fly quite a long distance.
Although some grenades are easy to detonate once they are violently impacted due to structural problems, such grenades or grenades are easy to be eliminated, so such examples are quite rare.
Therefore, it is very rare for the assault team to be ambushed during the house fight, because the positions that can be ambushed are probably within the range of the grenade.
……
It is not that there are no members of the assault team who have broken the wall in the wrong position, and when throwing the grenade, the grenade bounces off the wall, if it is not for the angle, which almost completely blocks the shock wave and fragments, I am afraid that the assault team will have to fall into a flood of mourning.
After getting such news, Zhang Shixin thought of a solution that was not a solution, if he could not directly confirm the situation in the house, the members of the assault team could use a bayonet to dip a piece of chewing gum on the tip of the knife, and then a small mirror, and then use the mirror to refract the situation inside the gap, and then carry out the next step.
This method is honestly not very useful, after all, in this case, if there is really an ambush in the house and the weapon is aimed at the gap, then it is very likely that the person observing the situation will be exposed.
It can be said that there is no means of war that can be completely tricked.
……
Zhang Shixin's troops have become reserve support troops, and Zhang Shixin even watched as they continued to move at high speed, with a few E main battle tanks as escorts, a vote of wild bee "little brother", and more than a dozen armored vehicles of Lorraine-155-50/51, driving past a dozen tanks that continued to crawl......
Grelian looked at Zhang Shixin, whose face was pale, and shook his head angrily.
Because, it's not that the other party is too fast, but ...... Zhang Shixin's car was too slow with other tanks of the same model.
Even with the 1,200 hp E-75** and its own 1,750 hp, they are still at a high speed.
Naturally, Grelian didn't know how much the tank weighed under her feet.
Zhang Shixin knew it very well, but he didn't expect it to be so slow......
With nearly 3,000 horsepower and more than 270 tons of horsepower, it's not so slow......
Thinking of this, Zhang Shi glanced at the mobile support artillery formation that had already galloped four hundred meters away, completed the turn, and the barrel was slowly raised, and then the muzzle of the gun continued to spray flames from the mobile support artillery formation, and sighed in a low voice again.
Well, Zhang Shixin's troops still didn't have much hope, although Wendell City was about a kilometer ahead of them.
It's just that looking at such a posture, Zhang Shixin didn't have more than ten minutes, and he didn't want to climb into the city......
Zhang Shixin didn't glance at a group of subordinates behind him, if it weren't for Zhang Shixin's lack of orders, the tank troops led by the E main battle tank would have rushed into Wendell City and exerted their strength.
"I don't know, what are you making this thing for? Not to mention the slow speed, and it's actually so slow, haven't you always despised such turtle crawlers? Sinia's words sounded in Zhang Shixin's mind.
Zhang Shixin could only shake his head and stop talking.
He didn't want to use this thing, but well, this thing can be called the strongest shield, and Zhang Shixin naturally understands the powerful role it can play in street fighting.
However, he underestimated the weight of this thing, and he couldn't even hold on to the excellent road conditions of the Atlas.
Zhang Shixin was quite helpless, but at this point, could he still order to turn back?
Zhang Shixin glanced up, changed the mobile support artillery formation again, and thought in his heart: "Who can know the bitterness?" ”
"Stupid."
……
Vatutin's forces had been engaged in fierce fighting with the Heiningen rebels for nearly an hour, taking control of an area nearly 700 meters deep.
However, Vatutin's tactical map suddenly appears in a group of tanks on the next main street, with their guns pointed at the street entrance, and it seems that they are blocking the intersection with strong firepower.
Valentine gave an order to an IS-3 to test the other side.
Then, an IS-3 stuck to the corner of the street, slowly moved the hull of the car to a distance of more than a meter outside a burning building on the top floor, and then slowly moved the hull forward.
As a result, as soon as the IS-3 showed its head, the other side immediately fired a shell from the chamber......
Seeing that this car was reversed, and several bullet marks were scratched on the head of the hull, one of which was a bullet hole that directly pierced the front of the conical hull of the IS-3, Vatujing glanced at a house that had been punched out of a few bullet holes, and shook his head in his heart: "Obviously, I just can't rush through." It seems that you have to take a detour......? ”
Vatutin looked at a huge tank slowly moving forward at a speed of more than ten kilometers per hour beside him, and quickly came back to his senses.
He was about to say something, but he saw several more tanks of the same model passing by him.
After looking at the concrete on the ground left by these tanks, and rolling out a track mark with a depth of at least one centimeter, Vatutin remembered that these behemoths were the commander's direct troops.
Of course, these few tanks drove by, not including the commander's one.
Where is Zhang Shixin at this time?
He had the unfortunate fortune of falling into a small crater, and his tracks were slipping and falling deeper and deeper by small steel balls that almost filled the crater.
Now, Zhang Shixin's tank is constantly being dragged out of the crater little by little with a tow rope on two E-75** models.
……
In front of this tank company equipped with the latest model of the Hilton Empire, with good artillery accuracy, 500 meters with 200mm penetration, and armor defense also reached the level of 150mm, which can be called the strongest tank of the Hilton Empire, XVT-36 heavy tank, there was a rather huge behemoth like a Tibetan mastiff in front of the jackal.
The XVT-36 crew, the elite of the Heiningen family, quickly fired shells from tank guns at the exposed behemoth.
As a result, except for a few shells that caused a forced explosion, leaving a few small black marks on the opponent's front armor plate, the other shells were simply knocked away.
Obviously, the armor-piercing shells fired by the XVT-36's 105mm gun have no effect on this thing at all.
The commander of the armored company was shocked, because he saw very clearly, it was really useless.
The commander of this armored company did not believe evil and decided to fire shells again.
As a result, nothing has changed.
"Reload high-explosive grenades!"
The commander of the armored company decided to destroy the opponent with a high-explosive bomb before the thing officially rushed out.
Almost ten seconds later, the XVT-36 heavy tanks again fired at the tank, which did not advance or retreat.
Outcome......
In addition to the charred parts a little more and a wider range, the other party actually slowly retreated.
"Got an effect?" Seeing the enemy's behemoth retreat, the commander of the armored company couldn't help but feel a little relieved, this thing is not indestructible.
He even wished he could be the first to destroy these tanks.
……
In fact, the behemoth had already wanted to retreat when it was first set on fire.
Outcome......
A tank of the same type in the back turned the barrel direction to the center of the street, and the hull just held him up.
"Stand back, you pigs!"
Well, in a moment of confusion, this line of five Big Macs finally retracted into the hidden part of the street again.
Because just now one on top of the other, and the last tank does not retreat, they simply have no ability to move.
……
At this time, Zhang Shixin's car was finally pulled up by two E-75** models and entered Wendell City. (To be continued.) )
