Chapter Twenty-Four: The Collision of the Plains—The End

Several trenches were broken through one by one, and what Zhang Shixin could do now was to let his tank troops block the enemy from detouring to the other side of the hill as much as possible, so as to prevent the enemy from launching an offensive or forcibly breaking through this area.

Because there was a river not far from one side, the water was relatively deep, and it was impossible to swim unprepared, which also greatly reduced the defensive pressure of the troops at both ends.

The center of gravity of the defense in the hilly area is constantly shifting in the other direction, except for a considerable number of tanks left in the middle, some tanks even move to the right while firing.

If the area on the right is broken through, Zhang Shixin and Hippal are very clear that they will encounter a situation where they will be attacked on their backs.

Although there are still a considerable number of self-propelled artillery in the back to provide fire support, the self-propelled artillery unit of the Second Armored Corps, which makes Zhang Shixin very speechless, is retreating at this time.

Zhang Shixin couldn't think of any use for these self-propelled guns without shells.

The enemy forces in front were mostly armored vehicles and enemy infantry that were constantly jumping down and being killed by a large number of snipers. However, to block the trenches that were already defended by a few infantry, what the sniper could do was to kill as many enemy soldiers as he could.

Zhang Shixin also occasionally saw some explosions in some trenches, and according to his thoughts, these explosions should be the only situation that some enemy troops want to use those tank killers that no one uses.

Many of the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles have been destroyed by these tank killers, and they naturally know very well that the threat of these weapons to the armored forces is also very great.

Some of the relatively long Osville heavy tanks were not unable to break through those infantry trenches, but in the event that they could be destroyed by concentrated fire at any time, they adopted the tactics of bypassing and attacking.

The defensive forces in the hilly area also suffered a very heavy blow.

Some of the destroyed tanks, the flames that burned, even set fire to nearby grass or bushes.

Some tanks had to move their vehicles to prevent serious damage to their vehicles from being caused by the increasingly intense flames.

And some of the snipers hiding in the trees, because the flames burned so fast, they didn't have time to react, and they were engulfed in the flames.

Even some vigilant soldiers had to prioritize finding locations that weren't burning and then shoot again.

Under such circumstances, some of the tank fighting vehicles defending the hilly area, having lost their concealed surnames, were attacked by enemy tank units.

Among them, there are also some tank fighting vehicles, which are Zhang Shixin's subordinate troops, and if the armor protection ability in front is relatively good, they can still force their way forward, rush down the next layer of the hilly area that is not too high, or transfer to other places without suffering too much damage.

However, for some of the less fortunate S-series tank destroyers, their front armor plates simply did not effectively defend against the penetration of the opponent's shells.

Within a short time, 4 Su-122-44s and 1 ISU-152 were destroyed by concentrated fire.

Especially in that ISU-152, the ammunition rack was blown up, and the detonated shells quickly tore the entire hull into two sections, front and rear, and the top armor of the warhead was blown off a lot.

Flames suddenly erupted, and a few meters away, several members of the Gultoka Imperial Medium Tank swept by......

When Zhang Shixin saw this scene, he hated itchy, but he had no better way, because the tiger hunting where he was was was also attacked by the enemy tanks and chariots in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that there was a mountain rock blocking the angle of fire in the left area that could be more effectively concealed under the diagonal direction, Zhang Shixin estimated that the opponent's tank and combat vehicles would not give up being able to shoot at him from other directions that might penetrate the side armor.

On the front of the warhead, I don't know how many clanging shells were bounced off, but fortunately the other party didn't deliberately shoot his tracks, otherwise Zhang Shixin didn't know whether he wanted to change to a tank and combat vehicle to continue to command the battle.

He also encountered a very helpless thing, that is, not long ago, the armor plate in front of Zhang Shixin's tiger hunting car body knocked a cannonball flying, but a passing heavy tank under the tiger hunting was unlucky, and the flying cannonball actually drilled into a group of weight wheels on the left rear side of the opponent.

After an explosion and rising smoke cleared, several of the heavy tank's load-bearing wheels flew off, and the left side of the hull was visibly tilted towards the ground......

Zhang Shixin looked at this scene speechlessly, because he really couldn't imagine that such a thing could happen.

Is this a bad RP of that heavy tank, or something else?

It's just that Zhang Shixin didn't have more time to dwell on such a thing, because the defending troops on the left suffered heavy casualties, in addition to a few Tiger Kings and Lions, even an IS-3 heavy tank had a few bullet marks on the armor plate under the head......

Of course, Zhang Shixin knew that with these tanks, it was impossible to block the enemy's advance, so he had to grit his teeth and order those heavy tanks to rush down the hilly area and entangle the enemy's armored forces in exchange for time for the support of other defensive forces.

One of the outermost Lion heavy tanks quickly turned its bulky hull, and the driver stepped on the accelerator.

The Lion heavy tank, weighing more than 100 tons, rushed down a small road.

But he was confronted with two enemy assault guns that had come around and were not hit by the self-propelled guns.

One of the assault guns, at the end of the trail, slowly turned its body.

"Bump into it! The gunner shoots at the other assault gun as much as he can! The lion's commander quickly gave instructions......

"Bang!"

"Qiang ......"

Two voices sounded one after the other......

After a short period of acceleration, the Lion heavy tank swung to the side of the barrel before colliding with the opponent's medium assault gun, and a burst of fire appeared in the muzzle......

The Lion's cannon was not well aimed at all, so the shell hit the ground less than a meter in front of the other self-propelled gun, and after the 105mm armor-piercing shell drilled into the ground for a distance, there was a muffled sound.

It's just that the medium assault gun that was hit by the Lion heavy tank was not as lucky as the wingman......

The Lion heavy tank, which is actually a super-heavy tank, weighs more than 100 tons and crashes into the front of the medium-sized assault gun that has just completed the steering at a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, knocking the opponent back more than 20 meters......

With such a difference in weight in passive impact, it is naturally impossible for that medium assault gun to be unharmed.

Not to mention that the track was broken, the lion-style push made the opponent's suspension system quickly backward out of the position of the track, and after being pushed to 12 meters, the suspension system of this medium assault gun has been completely detached from the assistance of the track, and the load-bearing wheels are rigidly embedded in the ground, and from time to time the bearing shaft is broken and the load-bearing wheels fly off.

This medium assault gun left a deeper and deeper mark on the ground, and by the time the opponent came to a complete stop, a considerable part of the opponent's hull had been embedded in the dirt.

The barrel of this medium assault gun was stiffly raised upwards by the lion-shaped upper armor between the collision into the hull, and the barrel left a shallow scratch on the lion-shaped upper armor, which quickly broke off from the outside of the gun shield, and then flew into the sky for more than ten meters before falling in the middle of the broken track.

The engine of this medium assault gun emitted blue flames, and it was not the opposing engine that was hit, but the engine power was passively pulled to the maximum (the theory of reverse mechanics) until the unbearable limit, and the excessive power output burned the engine.

It is clear that this medium assault gun, which was smashed like this, has lost its combat capability.

(In the game, two tanks collide at full speed and do not burn the engine, this ...... Let's take a guess, at least I haven't encountered such a thing)

As for the Lion tank, it slowly recoiled its hull, and then the commander heard a "dang" sound from the gun shield, and of course he knew that it was the assault gun that did not hit and fired at him, but the shell was bounced off by the gun shield......

But the commander did not feel joy, because he saw more than a dozen enemy tank fighting vehicles, which were aiming their barrels at the sides of the lion's hull......

At this time, it is too late to turn the direction of the body......

He just said: "Death will also pull one more backing ......"

The gunner understood, and after the loader loaded the shell, he felt that something had penetrated his body, and pressed the fire button on the medium assault gun that had been aimed......

……

The death squad sent by Zhang Shixin was wiped out in two minutes without support, although the Tiger King and the lion-style frontal armor protection had good immunity in the face of most of the armor-piercing shells of the Osville Empire, especially the Tiger King, the first position was difficult to be penetrated by the enemy's AP shells.

However, their side armor is not as good as the frontal armor protection.

The side of the Lion's turret can occasionally jump off the opponent's shells with its slightly curved armor plates, but enemy tanks will not just shoot at the turret, as the side of the hull that is easier to hit than the turret is a better choice......

Zhang Shixin heard the last destroyed Tiger King, the communicator who was obviously seriously injured, on the radio, and the words that came out were:

"Feel free to ...... Shoot! ”

"......" Zhang Shixin naturally knew that if he gave such an instruction, the summoners would meticulously complete his instructions.

So, he knew that he ...... and successfully did some "unkind" things.

The words of the signal soldier, if Zhang Shixin did not guess wrong, were naturally a request for the personnel of the self-propelled artillery......

Ten seconds later, dozens of shells of three calibers shrouded a considerable number of enemy tanks and combat vehicles, as well as the wreckage of several destroyed tanks that had been ordered to intercept them, in an explosion area......

At a distance of just over a kilometer, the accuracy of the self-propelled guns improved considerably, but it was still unavoidable, and the shells hit the wreckage of the tank, which may have been survived by the crew members......

However, Zhang Shixin knew that the sacrifices of these subordinates were not meaningless, because they still delayed the enemy to a considerable number of troops and had time to replenish the defense.

The re-strengthened defensive area made it difficult for the enemy to launch another breakthrough offensive, and the larger the number of tank wreckage the closer they got to the hills, they also had to travel a little farther around.

The battle began to stalemate again......

However, Zhang Shixin also discovered one thing, that is, some of the enemy's tank troops did not attack them after hesitating, or even after advancing a short distance.

Zhang Shixin was stunned by his discovery for a moment, but soon he thought of a very possible thing.

That is, the other party should also run out of shells.

Zhang Shixin's guess was not imaginary out of thin air, because until the battle has been fought so far, they have replenished the shells once, and the ammunition consumption is still getting more and more serious.

The other party is naturally the same, and at the same time, Zhang Shixin has not received the news that the other party has replenished the shells.

That is, the opposing side now has a lot of tank fighting vehicles and has lost its combat capability.

He quickly used the artillery team mirror to observe whether there were any ammunition transporters specializing in transporting artillery shells among the opponent's armored vehicle units.

It's a pity that he looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything different about these armored car units with similar appearances.

It's just that he didn't receive good news.

That is, the light tank hidden in this area, it is obvious that there is no movement of the other side to reload the shells.

There is no news in this regard, which is good news for Zhang Shixin.

As is the case in the game, there is basically no good news in the D series, and no news is the biggest good news for the Führer......

"Is it because of this situation that we are losing ???ground?" The doubts in Zhang Shixin's heart, the answer is actually equivalent to the facts.

What he is struggling with now is whether to counterattack or not?

Taking advantage of his illness and asking for his life, Zhang Shixin didn't mind doing these things for the enemy.

But he knew that there was also a hidden danger in the current counteroffensive, that is, they did not have too many shells. Defensive warfare, saving a little money, can support for a while, but if there is a pursuit, there will be no enough shells......

Zhang Shixin naturally did not fail to let the troops replenish ammunition again. However, in the current situation, many places have become difficult for personnel to pass, and the replenishment of ammunition requires most of the troops to retreat to the other side. It would be difficult for the enemy to react if they were to force an attack with a unit that still had artillery shells.

"Let's keep it as it is." Zhang Shixin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

With Zhang Shixin giving another order, the battle almost turned into a one-sided massacre......

This order is: "As long as you don't find the fire of the opponent's gun, don't attack for the time being, but if the opponent retreats, give me a little accurate!" ”

This order caused many enemy armored combat vehicles that hoped to retreat to suffer more effective damage than concentrated fire......

……

There was a scene of retreating tanks and armored vehicles on the battlefield, and many tanks and tanks were simply unable to fight back against the enemy troops who kept firing at them, even if the enemy's position was clearly visible in the eyes of their commander.

How can you fight back without shells?

Some of the vehicle's machine guns fired, but their actions were more of a waste of bullets.

Of course, it is quite normal for some enemy troops to take advantage of their colleagues to fight for their own retreat.

Since there is no way to break through the enemy's defensive line, they want to stay alive even more.

In the same way, people are selfish creatures, and in the same way, people are creatures who are afraid of death.

So they do this, in addition to feeling a little ashamed, more of a desire to survive.

However, these enemies do not know that their retreat is not safe, and it should be said that they have lost their temporary camps......

……

After waiting until there was not a single enemy tank and combat vehicle in his field of vision, and the enemy, Zhang Shixin found that he could actually survive in this place and repelled the enemy's attack.

He also didn't know that his light tank formation, which had cleaned up the remnants of the enemy's self-propelled artillery unit, had spontaneously cleaned up the ammunition transport trucks that were only protected by three medium tanks.

At the same time, the enemy's makeshift camp was attacked by another armored unit.

The huge disparity in numbers, the remaining dozens of Osville Imperial tank fighting vehicles, as well as a large number of transport trucks, simply could not withstand the charge of an entire armored army......

In just fifteen minutes, with the exception of a few vehicles that were lucky enough to escape, the Oswelt Empire's makeshift camp in this area was crushed by hundreds of tanks, and it was almost impossible to see a trace......

The remnants of the retreating Oswel Panzer Corps were in a very weak and desperate situation. With little energy left for them, the commander had to surrender in the face of a force equal to them......

When Zhang Shixin dozed off in the tiger hunt, he didn't know that the battle was over unconsciously......

ps: In the next chapter, there will be a strengthened assault gun. In addition, the E-75 may also come out. After all, in the next chapter, the main existence of the assault tiger king and the like, the assault tiger is forgotten, and the range is so close that it is deathly......
