Chapter 9: The Battle of Gelsarin (9)
55555, I was tired to death today, and I went to the Huadu Hong Xiuquan Memorial Hall, but I was half tired and half dead...... Ben wolf hates to travel......
……………………………………………… Here is the text..........................................
"Commander, a large number of armored troops and a considerable number of mechanized infantry have appeared at both ends of the moat, and in addition, the opposing infantry units are passing through various alleys in small formations, hoping to break into our northern defense zone."
The communicator's report made Zhang Shixin's heart burst suddenly, because he knew that he had miscalculated one thing, since the enemy army was attacking the northern city in the form of a small detachment, it was possible that the other party had given up using armored combat vehicle formations to raid several areas blocked by abandoned armored vehicles.
So, in such a situation, he continued to let the elephant tank destroyer stay, is it a bit suspicious of wasting effective combat power on uselessness?
It seemed to him that he should move the Elephant tank destroyer to the south to assist in the defense. This is the best remedy before the start of the operation.
Zhang Shixin pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and gave up this plan.
Because he knew very well that if there was a formation of elephant tank destroyers in the south, it would also be useless.
The King Tiger tank is far better in defense than the Elephant tank destroyer, but it is not as good as the Elephant tank destroyer in terms of firepower.
Unlike in the game, the tank destroyer system is far more powerful than heavy tanks. It's like an anti-tank gun, which is more powerful than a tank gun of the same caliber, and has a stronger penetration.
In the game, many things can't be applied in reality, just like the 88mm tank gun, which has the same combat surname as the dedicated anti-tank gun, Zhang Shixin has a little doubt about this problem, because PAK is an anti-tank gun in the name of Germany, and the surname can be exactly the same. (Voiceover: Does Serb have such a knot?) )
Therefore, in the system, the surname of the anti-tank gun can be better than the tank gun, or even one level better, Zhang Shixin did not feel strange, but felt a little taken for granted.
It's just that the problem now is that the firepower in the south is absolutely sufficient, after all, the outside of several bridges are plains, and don't forget that the self-propelled artillery formations under Zhang Shixin have enough powerful firepower projection.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin still gambled again and continued to let the elephant tank destroyer stay on the street to the north.
The Su-152 also does not need to be mobilized, after all, the power of the 152mm grenade is better for infantry than against armored vehicles.
However, Zhang Shixin did not transfer troops from the north to fight, but instead mobilized more than a dozen armored vehicles from the southern defense area to the north for mobile defense.
He knew very well that armored vehicles equipped with 20mm machine guns were more lethal to enemy troops in the form of small detachments than tanks.
"Aren't you afraid that the south won't be able to hold it?" Hinia asked, puzzled.
Zhang Shixin smiled, and then said in a confident tone: "Of course I'm afraid, but the defense capability of the south is not so weak. At the same time, I was also able to replicate a scene in the northern defense area. However, with the width of the bridge, I am not sure how much effect it can have, to be honest. Maybe it will be able to greatly block the advance route of the enemy's follow-up troops, perhaps...... It's not useful at all. However, I also have a backstroke. ”
"What's the trick?" Xinia tilted her head curiously and asked Zhang Shixin.
"Blow up the bridge." Zhang Shixin said two words with a smile.
Xinia looked at Zhang Shixin, who had always fought in a way and was very inclined to seek stability, in disbelief, and then said in a surprised tone: "Do you know what happened when you did this? ”
"Of course I know, but if the worst happens, it's the best thing to do." Zhang Shixin stood up, then straightened his military hat and walked out of the basement.
"You madman, where do you want to go?" Xinia watched Zhang Shixin walk towards the basement and asked puzzled.
Zhang Shixin paused, and said in an indifferent tone without looking back: "Be a commander...... The most important thing to do in this situation. ”
"Did you have such a plan when you were planning to send those civilians out of the city?" A terrible idea suddenly occurred to Sinia.
"Yes. After all, I'm a boss, but I'm also the commander of these people. It's not my style to hide in the basement as a commander and wait for the best or the worst to come, even if my subordinates are fighting hard. And when have you seen it...... I'm scared of going to war? Zhang Shixin's words left Sinia speechless.
Zhang Shixin's words are right, Zhang Shixin, who is fighting on the front line, is the real him.
…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................
"Captain, we've entered the enemy's defensive area, but it's so quiet, is it true that the enemy has discovered our tracks?" A coalition soldier with his weapon in his hand, then crawled to the leader of the squad behind a broken wall, carefully observing the street, and voiced his doubts.
The squad leader did not immediately answer his subordinates, but said with a smile: "Even so, it can't scare us, because we are a soldier." ”
The words of the squad leader are more effective than a lot of morale-boosting words. Because he was right, these soldiers joined the battle because they wanted to preserve their military honor.
They also knew that they might die in the street in front of them the next moment, or be hit by a bullet, or be killed by a large-caliber shell, or be killed by enemy melee weapons......
Either way, they could have died in this place, but they still showed up in this place.
"Are real soldiers afraid of death?"
This is a question that does not have the most accurate answer.
It is an eternal truth that people are afraid of death.
But at this moment, these soldiers, like their colleagues who were rushing to the south to prepare for an offensive, were not afraid of death.
Fear is not the same as fear, because fear of a thing, a person, or even an object, is often an irreparable situation.
But it is human nature to be afraid of a person, to be afraid of encountering something, to be afraid of seeing something.
So, these people are also afraid of death, but they are not afraid of facing death themselves.
Under such circumstances, after a while, after the first batch of squads entered the effective strike range of the defensive zone north of Zhang Shixin, bullets of various calibers quickly brought down a considerable number of coalition soldiers.
But this time they did not flinch, but relied on their nearby bunkers, firing at the already exposed firing points, as well as where the enemy might be hiding, covering the advance of the follow-up troops.
They became unafraid of death, and although they were still afraid that the next moment they would fall in a foreign land that had nothing to do with them, they still used their weapons and fought without flinching.
In this moment, they learned what it means to be a military man. (I would like to pay tribute to all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country or fought bravely in the War of Resistance against Japan.) They are all heroes because they have no regrets about their profession. )
It's a pity that, like them, Zhang Shixin's subordinate summoners are also fulfilling their duties.
The assault man used an AK-74 assault rifle to harvest the lives of the enemies that appeared in the open area, and shot 5.45mm into the enemy's body one by one.
Light snipers use M14 sniper rifles to snipe at a distance, difficult to accurately hit with assault rifles, although the 7.62mm-NATO warhead is sometimes not enough to kill an enemy immediately, but it is easy to make the opponent lose a certain combat capability.
Heavy snipers use Barrett M78 anti-materiel sniper rifles to shoot at enemy troops hiding behind cover, and 12.7mm armor-piercing bullets can easily penetrate not too thick bunkers, directly killing or seriously injuring enemy troops hiding behind these bunkers.
Although the combination of multiple weapons can exert a more powerful lethal effect than a single weapon, Zhang Shixin's infantry stationed in houses or bunkers shooting outwards also suffered considerable casualties.
Because these coalition soldiers behaved completely differently from the coalition soldiers who had fought before.
The other party is simply exchanging his own life for the opportunity to hit them by his companions.
Often, after a commando kills or wounds several coalition soldiers, they themselves are also hit by coalition soldiers who are not otherwise considered.
Not only assaulters, but snipers have also encountered such a situation, but the sniper's internet access is much lighter.
After all, compared with the Barrett M78 sniper, which has more casualties, many times can only shoot on the ground, the sniper using the M14 semi-automatic sniper rifle can easily change the firing position, effectively reducing the considerable casualties.
At the same time, because the number of the other party was a little too large, Zhang Shixin's outer street defense line was constantly compressed, and some coalition soldiers even broke into houses or bunkers.
It's just that the first coalition soldiers who stormed the fortified stronghold ran into a lot of traps......
When the three coalition soldiers were climbing over a broken wall, one of the leaders inadvertently tripped over a small steel wire, and as a result, less than a second later, the three infantry were killed and wounded by an M2 grenade tied behind the broken wall.
After a group of coalition soldiers rushed into a relatively intact civilian house, they kicked open the door, and an M45 "Slaughterer" anti-personnel grenade exploded in the aisle, and the flying steel balls easily harvested the lives of several coalition officers and soldiers.
But the others continued on their way, ignoring some of their slightly injured colleagues, and after carrying them out of the house, they continued into the hallway where many steel balls were embedded.
When the leading soldiers stepped on a somewhat loose plank, suddenly, there was another explosion and a violent wave of scorching air, mixed with fragments of the plank, enveloping the coalition officers and soldiers in a certain range.
When the smoke gradually dissipated, the coalition officers and soldiers paid a certain amount of casualties.
The troops behind did not know whether to continue to advance immediately, they did not expect that in the place where they could not see, two summoners with M2 grenades in their hands that had been pulled open for two seconds, after looking at each other, leaned out, quickly threw the grenade into the enemy, and then retracted their bodies again......
The grenade exploded in the air and caused great casualties to the coalition officers and soldiers, who barely reacted.
These are just a few examples......
Although Zhang Shixin's troops relied on various traps to inflict extremely heavy casualties on the coalition forces, there was always a time when the traps laid out were used up or the other side did not trigger them.
Therefore, many defensive points began fierce battles at short distances.
Pistols and shotguns have become useful tools in melee combat, and the more confined the area, the more powerful the shotgun can be.
Sometimes, a soldier who suddenly bursts out of the room and shoots with the M870 shotgun in his hand can easily take down a few coalition officers and soldiers, and the result that the person at the front of the queue will die, and the others who are shot will at least lose considerable combat effectiveness.
The M1911's 11.43mm bullet can easily hit the enemy at close range, or kill the enemy at one time, Zhang Shixin took a fancy to this weapon as a standard gun, not only the surname and appearance, but also the power is also the focus of consideration.
Although the small ammunition capacity is a disadvantage, the power of the M1911 is also incomparable with the small and medium-caliber pistols with more than a dozen rounds in the back.
Zhang Shixin did not arrange a large number of machine guns here, not because of his negligence, but because the machine guns were simply unable to effectively suppress fire in such an area where there were more and more obstacles.
However, even with the above factors, due to the limitation of the number of people, the defensive strongholds on the periphery are constantly being beaten down by the coalition forces.
This is the case in the streets, but the fighting in the alleys is also fierce.
Although machine guns can also be fired, few machine gunners can use burst fire to suppress fire, which is too inefficient.
There is a sentence that Zhang Shixin thinks makes some sense:
"A machine gun that loses the ability to suppress fire is no better than an assault rifle."
Therefore, Zhang Shixin arranged the machine gun in a place where the efficiency of the machine gun could be effectively played.
On the streets, when the two sides were engaged in life-and-death shooting, small detachments were interspersed with attacks from the alleys.
It's just that they definitely didn't expect that at the end of another section of the alley, there was an M2 heavy machine gun or MG-34 general-purpose machine gun hidden.
The "......" machine gunner stared at the situation in the alley through the not-so-bright light.
The co-gunner holds the bullet chain in his hand and assists the Heavy in observing the situation. And beside him, there were several loaded weapons - an AK-74 assault rifle, an M870 shotgun.
In some cases, some coalition soldiers entered the alleys and were not spotted in the shadowy machine-gun positions, and they continued to advance.
However, when they reached the middle of the alley, some people could even hear the gunshots and notice the sharp pain transmitted by their bodies to their brains, as well as the feeling of continuous loss of vitality......
The sudden fire of these machine guns can sometimes even easily wipe out unresponsive enemy troops in an alley.
Many alleys have become small slaughter sites......
Rarely break into the alleys, and those who encounter machine-gun fire survive.
The surviving coalition officers and soldiers continued to rely on the bunkers on both sides of the alley to fight back.
However, many times their counterattacks did not have a hit rate at all, after all, under the suppression of machine-gun fire, in the area blocked by fire, the infantry was able to shoot easily, on the contrary, it is a strange thing.
The fact that a machine gun can shoot thousands of people in a single day is not for nothing.
Its appearance is a nightmare for the infantry.
In its effective range, there are not many means by which the infantry can fight machine guns......
Snipers may be the most effective method, but unlike Zhang Shixin's troops with a large number of snipers, the difference is that the coalition forces are not without snipers, but in the streets, Zhang Shixin arranged snipers in the defensive stronghold, almost all of them were wiped out.
After all, the snipers in the coalition army, using pull-bolt sniper rifles, missed a shot or even killed a sniper, and when they faded out of the shell, Zhang Shixin's sniper could often shoot three or four bullets.
This is the advantage of weapons, although Zhang Shixin is a bit invincible in this regard, but you use backward weapons to fight, and you blame me, what kind of crooked reason is this?
The quality of the weapon also represents the strength of a force.
……
Zhang Shixin already knew about the loss of the peripheral area, but he was not very worried.
Although he was also distressed by the heavy casualties, there were few peripheral defense troops that could retreat to the main defense belt. But, as a commander. Zhang Shixin is proud of his subordinates.
The reasons why he was not very worried about the main defensive belt of the northern defense zone were:
The Su-152 and the Elephant tank destroyer were forming a network of crossfire in the area of the main defense belt, and without the support of armored troops, Zhang Shixin was not very worried that the enemy infantry would be able to easily destroy these well-defended firepower combinations. Because their infantry units, too, do not eat dry food.
At this time, red dots of all sizes continued to appear on both sides of the moat.
Zhang Shixin smiled: "Is it finally here?" Ready for battle!! ”
Dozens of tanks and fighting vehicles closed their turret roofs......
The self-propelled artillery formations in the distance similarly adjusted the firing angles......
The AMX-13s were in a relatively safe area, with gun mirrors sticking out of the turret roof.
Everything is ready to go......
Zhang Shixin took a deep breath in the position of the commander of the King Tiger tank, and then issued a combat instruction: "Don't let go of an enemy soldier as much as possible!" ”
Zhang Shixin is not a cold-blooded person, but as an enemy, he is not stupid enough to be a woman.
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out......
