It's almost the New Year.,A lot of things have to be settled.,This wolf keeps it updated as much as possible.,I'm sorry.

………………………………………… Body line....................................

Time goes back to half an hour ago.

After Vatutin led his troops to crush the enemy's artillery position, enemy reinforcements appeared, and such a situation was a matter of course in Vatutin's eyes.

After all, if in this case, the other party is still indifferent, then this is a strange thing.

Therefore, Vatutin ordered the troops to shoot at each other on the spot.

He didn't pay too much attention to the enemy armored forces in front of him, which didn't look very good. After all, his current tank and combat vehicle, it can be said that it is not too much to directly crush the opposing troops in terms of quality.

For a time, in the area of both sides, shells continued to fall, and at the same time, from time to time, tanks and combat vehicles were hit by shells.

Compared to the IS-8 and IS-3 heavy tank formations, which are used as assault arrows, they often directly bounce the opponent's shells away.

Even if the opponent uses a high-explosive shell with a small caliber, many times even if it is hit by these shells, the armor module attached to the body of the car can effectively detonate the opponent in advance in many cases, greatly reducing the impact on the tank crew and precision parts.

It can be said that the most obvious thing is that the armor module attached to the driver's position can effectively protect the driver and reduce the probability of casualties to a considerable extent.

Of course, if it encounters a direct hit by a large-caliber high-explosive shell, the IS-8 has a considerable chance of being directly hit and incapacitated.

Because the members were either killed or wounded, it can be said that, not to mention the degree of damage to the vehicle, the damage to the vehicle is second only to such a tank when no one is effectively working.

Although the vehicle is not completely damaged, a considerable number of relatively intact parts can be replaced with other tanks. But Zhang Shixin did not have such a combat style, because in doing so, Zhang Shixin had to set up another set of emergency vehicle maintenance system, which shared Zhang Shixin's direct combat troops, which were not too much.

In order to save electricity and money, Zhang Shixin is very clear that this situation is quite unworthy.

For example, if a battle lacks effective combat power and retreats, then the next thing is not as simple as collecting those damaged tank fighting vehicles, but ordering these tank fighting vehicles to self-detonate and then run away.

It can be said that even if there is no such factor as the reduction of combat effectiveness, such a thing as collecting damaged vehicles must be carried out according to the trend of the war.

Zhang Shixin has always been quite resistant to such a choice.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin would rather spend more money to rearm an army, in fact, it is also out of this idea.

……

Vatutin was on his IS-7, directing the battle while observing the situation on the battlefield.

He is different from Zhang Shixin, he is more inclined to decide the direction of victory and defeat with a surname onslaught.

So, this time he did not arrange for ammunition transport vehicles to accompany him so that he could replenish the shells at any time.

Because according to his estimates, after he led his troops to capture this artillery position, he would have a period of rest to replenish the shells.

But after fighting so far, Vatutin knew that he had miscalculated.

Although the casualties of the opposing armored forces were quite high, Vatutin did not see the slightest sign of retreat.

And at this time, the number of remaining shells of many tank combat vehicles was already less than half of the base. Faced with such a battle situation, Vatutin quickly issued a combat order: "All tanks and combat vehicles will retreat in staggered cover, and in addition, Dimitri's troops will quickly find an effective ambush area in place." ”

Vatutin's orders were quite clear, and soon, his surviving tank and chariot units kept going backwards, and then waited until the shells were reloaded, stopped and fired again at the enemy, and then slowly went backwards.

Vatutin was not unaware, and he ordered a direct turn to retreat much faster.

However, if you expose your back directly in front of the enemy without reservation on the battlefield, you will die faster.

Although this situation is a bit different, in fact, it is not much better.

It's like although the cavalry can easily get rid of the pursuit of others when they are running, but if they run backwards in a swarm, it will disrupt the formation that the troops behind have set up.

At the same time, the most stinking situation of ambush tactics is when friendly forces are mixed with enemy forces, because there is a considerable chance that they will accidentally injure their own people.

Therefore, Vatujing chose this more secure tactic of fighting and retreating to avoid problems.

In fact, Vatutin also discovered an extremely unusual phenomenon, that is, the number of enemy troops...... It should be said that the number of enemies who are capable of attacking them seems to be increasing.

Therefore, Vatutin could not let the other side pursue them easily, because he knew that if what he was thinking was true, then it was obviously not a good choice for him to order his troops to turn back.

At the same time, turning his back to the enemy also means abandoning the front of the tank with the best protection ability, and exposing the back that can be said to be the most vulnerable, which would not be a normal point of an officer.

Vatujin fought and retreated, and the ammunition consumption of the armored forces also increased.

He couldn't help but think that if the other party rushed over at this time, it would not be a fun thing.

If Vatutin had a means of telecommunications that could effectively monitor the world, he would find it difficult for what he feared to happen to him.

……

Zhang Shixin also did not think about using the radio reconnaissance technology unlocked by the major general to conduct similar monitoring operations on the world's energy conduction communications. Such a thing can have a profound impact on a battle, or even a campaign.

It's a pity that the wave frequency of conductive communication and the wave frequency of radio communication are completely two different concepts. The world itself is not without such attempts, but unfortunately, such things have never succeeded.

As a result, Zhang Shixin had no choice but to throw a set of radio communication detectors into the fiefdom and let those who cooperated with them conduct research.

It can be said that Zhang Shixin's knowledge of radio is completely dark, he knows how to use these things, but he does not understand how they work.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Shixin can only go with the flow.

In fact, Zhang Shixin has always coveted such a battlefield weapon as radio monitoring for a long time, but Zhang Shixin is also very helpless about this kind of thing that does not play a role.

It can be said that Zhang Shixin is now a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe after a while, Zhang Shixin will have a good surprise.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

In fact, the enemy armored forces that directly confronted Vatutin, all of them had incredible content in the wireless energy communication between them.

"We hit each other with high-explosive shells!! But the other party didn't seem to be affected at all!! ”

This sentence was uttered by the commander of a medium tank roaring through the communicator.

He didn't try to use his 75mm tank gun to aim at the opponent with armor-piercing shells, but even if he hit an IS-8 that was constantly retreating, the 75mm armor-piercing shells had no way to defend the IS-8's turret head-on.

The shell even grazed the front of the opponent's turret and was bounced in the other direction, blowing up a small crater.

When the commander found out about this, he quickly ordered the loader to reload the high-explosive shell.

This high-explosive shell hit the head of the opponent's car, but after the forced explosion, the opponent simply did not do anything, and still counterattacked while retreating as usual.

What the commander didn't know was that the IS-8 that was hit with a 75mm high-explosive shell was not caused by nothing, but that the armor module attached to the armor plate on the driver's position was damaged a lot.

However, because of the forced explosion on the ceramic armor plate, the impact of the 75mm high-explosive shell was effectively resisted by the remaining "composite" armor, so there was no problem with the driver.

In general, in the absence of an armored module, this shell directly hits the driver's position with a 75mm high-explosive shell, which may injure the driver.

Therefore, the armor module effectively shirks a certain kinetic killing effect of high-explosive shells.

And in this case, the effect is even more pronounced for tanks with thicker armor.

……

"It can't be! I should have penetrated the other party's engine position! But the other party is still going backwards, the other party is still going backwards!! ”

This is the roar of the commander of a tank destroyer with a caliber of 100mm or 105mm. Because he clearly saw that the cannonball he fired seemed to hit the left side of the opponent, and there was no sign of a jumping egg, but in this case, the other party still had nothing to do, and was able to retreat and counterattack freely, which was completely unacceptable to the commander.

In fact, the commander was not mistaken, the gunner of the crew did hit an E main battle tank, but behind the side of this E main battle tank, there are a lot of armor modules, under the problem of the angle of injection, the shell penetrated three layers, and after the equivalent conversion should have a thickness of 90mm armor module, in fact, the remaining penetration is no longer enough to penetrate the only 70mm hull armor protection on the side of the E main battle.

The shell was deflected, and because it was blocked by the armored module in the other direction, the warhead was stuck in the heavy armor of the armored module and failed to detonate.

The tanks in this world basically use explosive armor-piercing shells, simple kinetic armor-piercing shells are no longer common, and the effect of explosive armor-piercing shells is better than kinetic armor-piercing bullets in many cases.

The penetration depth of kinetic armor-piercing shells is a little better than that of blasting armor-piercing shells of almost the same structure and caliber, but the difference in data will not be too outrageous.

It's just that the lethality of kinetic armor-piercing bullets is quite different from that of blasting armor-piercing bullets.

For example, after the advent of artillery, there were flowering grenades, and in general, such things as solid shells were rarely used.

Not that solid shells are useless, but in many cases there is no suitable role.

It is equivalent to the period of piracy, when warships and warships were bombarded, and it was difficult for flowering grenades to sink a ship, in this case, solid shells came in handy.

In this line of thinking, the penetration depth of kinetic armor-piercing projectiles is generally better, and the range is longer (the range is longer, this is theoretical data, and the difference in practice is not much. ), but it was easily replaced by explosive armor-piercing shells.

This situation, whether it is in this world or in the space process that Zhang Shixin was in before, can be regarded as a trend of development.

It's just that the explosive armor-piercing shells of this world appeared a little earlier.

When the commander of this tank destroyer ordered the tank to use kinetic armor-piercing shells to attack this E main battle, he was surprised to see that the enemy's gun muzzle seemed to be flashing, and in less than a second, he heard a bang, and then something hit his body directly......

In the eyes of the commander next to the tank destroyer, more than ten seconds later, the side hatch of the tank destroyer was opened, and a puff of smoke quickly poured out from the open hatch, while a crew member whose back had become bloody fell to the ground, struggling a few times, hoping to get up.

Soon, however, the crew members were motionless, and their open eyes lost their lustre......

……

The commander of this armored unit, after receiving the news of the heavy casualties on the front line, was quite helpless, although he was only an officer of the Holy See Guard, but he did not want to let his strength suffer a great loss in such a situation.

After all, although the situation in the preaching capital has roughly settled down, but in the current situation, many people know that the Papal States has provoked several powerful countries, and I am afraid that it is impossible to end it easily.

At the same time, in the current situation, the Papal States actually pronounced those countries and the Elven Dragon Security Company as heretical organizations, and the other party now has no army to press the border, even if the Papal States burns high incense.

With the Papal States and the few small principalities that have joined the war, it is not difficult to stalemate with the Hilton Empire, and with the addition of a Capani Kingdom that seems to be quite weak, such a situation may be able to withstand it.

But if the Gultoka Empire were to join the fray, the only thing that awaited the Papal States might be destruction.

For example, a jackal can temporarily parlay with a crippled wolf and a weak wolf, but when a rather fierce tiger joins the fray, what happens to the jackal?

You can imagine it.

His family was not too small for this commander, but now he had to be coerced into the rest of the army because of the stupid orders of the new pope, and appeared in this place.

He didn't want to lose too many troops, but the problem was that there were still many troops behind, and the Pope seemed to really want to kill that Anfield to avenge his son, and he would not hesitate to send almost all of the remaining troops in the Papal States.

On the way here, he didn't fail to find other troops who were supposed to want to rescue Anfield, and after seeing him and the other troops, he had to turn around and leave.

It can be said that this is a fairly normal thing, and if you don't retreat when there is a way out, few people will choose that rather silly answer.

Of course, in the case of a mission, it may be a different story.

After he had been in contact with Vatutin's troops for more than ten minutes, his tank and combat vehicle formations had suffered a lot of losses.

It should be a howitzer shelling from the east, and the unknown enemy armored unit that is firing at them at the same time makes him very worried. And after he received those telegrams one after another, almost all of which said that the other party was indestructible, he was quite helpless.

Naturally, he knew that he had set up that hungry wolf's troops.

He didn't know much about this person, but the opponent's record was quite frightening, and for example, he was an armored commander with no actual combat experience, and the other party's performance was enough to make almost all the pope's [***] officials look up to him.

He had heard of the other party's well-equipped, but their weapons were said to be against the armored forces of the Gultoka Empire, and they were not far behind.

According to his cognition, this hungry wolf's weapons and equipment are not as powerful as the Gultoka Empire.

Fact...... By now it was clear that his troops were facing these enemies, so to speak, in a complete bunch.

Although the other side said that there were also tanks and combat vehicles destroyed, more of them should have been destroyed and injured by the heavy howitzer formation under his subordinates, covering them with firepower.

It can be said that the ratio of the results to the battle losses of the armored troops under him, who are now in front, is enough to make him feel the urge to die.

……

It is true that as the armored commander of the Papal States thought, these tank and combat vehicle units introduced by unknown countries could not resist Vatutin's armored formations at all.

If it weren't for Vatutin's concern about the consumption of shells and the ** large-caliber shells that fell from time to time, Vatutin would have given the order to push it over directly.

He knew very well that Zhang Shixin spent a lot of money to add to almost all tank combat vehicles, and this kind of fairly primitive armor module did not have much effect on large-caliber high-explosive shells.

If the tank is damaged at a certain distance, it will effectively avoid the situation that some vital parts will be damaged and blown up.

But when it's close or it's being hit directly, these gadgets don't help at all.

He saw with his own eyes the front armor plate of the warhead of an ISU-152, which was directly hit by a high-explosive shell of unknown caliber, and when the smoke cleared, the barrel of the ISU-152 was inserted diagonally into the ground, and the armor plate on the left side of the front of the hull was torn open a large hole, and many armor modules in front of the hull were shaken away.

After a few seconds, one hand pushed open the top cover of the warhead, but before the other hand could fully open the top cover, it retracted the warhead.

Vatutin knew very well that the crew members of this ISU-152 should be all saved......

The armor module is not a panacea, but it is better than nothing. Just as according to Zhang Shixin's vision of the M18 "Hellcat", even if this thing is equipped with an armored module, at best, it is more effective to improve the probability of survival, and it will not be scrapped directly by the gadget.

Vatutin can imagine that if the M18 "Hellcat" encounters this ISU-152 (Note 1), it is estimated that the fate will be much worse. Maybe it will fall apart directly.

……

What Vatutin, unbeknownst to Vatutin, though, was that the target of these troops was not supposed to be them, but that Anfield.

But what about the facts......

The commander of the Papal States also couldn't understand why almost all of the subsequent armoured units were behind him, instead of joining the formation besieging Anfield's Knights.

He was also quite glad about this situation, because finally someone was like him, facing such a situation.

After all, it's a good thing that you don't need your own troops to fight each other's perverted things.

……

This is the reason why Vatujin encountered more and more enemy troops......

Of course, this is only the reason.

Note 1: There are three models of ISU-152, one is ISU-152, one is ISU-152-2 (it should be using a late-stage IS tank chassis or directly replacing a better engine), and the other is ISU-152 (a test vehicle equipped with BL-10, the chassis should still be ISU-152-2).

So, whether it is the ISU-152 or the ISU-152-2, in fact, there is no too obvious difference, it is the positioning of self-propelled howitzers. And the ISU-152 (BL-10) is a real tank destroyer. (To be continued.) )
