Chapter 22: The Clash of Plains - Fierce Battle (1)

For Zhang Shixin, the enemy is the enemy, they die on the battlefield, no matter how they die, they always die as a soldier.

Therefore, by adopting such intensive artillery bombardment, Zhang Shixin did not think that he had a situation of "mistreatment" of the enemy army. On the contrary, the enemy troops killed and wounded under artillery shelling are not much different in essence from those killed by rifle fire.

After all, their end is death......

It's just that Zhang Shixin is not too satisfied with the effect of the shelling, which is of course a self-propelled gun developed by the Gultoka Empire itself, and the surname can not be as good as Zhang Shixin's artillery, and there is also a gunner factor.

But the most important point is that the self-propelled guns of the Gultoka Empire are not equipped with ammunition transporters.

After Zhang Shixin learned that the 240 self-propelled guns had fired all the thirteen shells they were carrying, and there was no news of any more shells, he was speechless and thought of two things:

One: You're a Su-5?

Two: The guy's design idea, the self-propelled gun actually does not have an ammunition transporter.

Zhang Shixin is now very resentful of the 240 self-propelled guns that are not much different from the furnishings. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't get out of the fight, Zhang Shixin would have had the urge to let the other side use the Western-style 155mm high-explosive grenade.

But it's just a thought, God knows if it will be fired and blow itself up first?

……

Zhang Shixin's complaint was quickly conveyed to Hippal's eyes, but he just smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Zhang Shixin's shell consumption to be so much.

However, before receiving these self-propelled guns, he also thought about whether such a shell base could meet the needs of a battle......

As it turned out, this was impossible.

But for now, he had no better way to leave those self-propelled guns dry.

……

Such a situation was quickly discovered by the two blond-haired young men who observed the direction of the battle, and they did not expect that after the firepower suddenly dropped by one level, the visual situation would soon become clearer and clearer.

"No shells......"

"That's not the point. Let's take a look at the situation ahead. ”

“……”

In the field of vision of the two blond youths were a large number of tanks, braving the increasingly sparse shelling, constantly advancing.

"What now?"

"There's no better way, and it seems that it's inevitable to fight hard."

……

Zhang Shixin naturally knew that the next thing would have to be solved face-to-face.

However, although more than a dozen rounds of artillery bombardment have brought very heavy combat losses to the enemy, the hit rate of long-range artillery bombardment itself is not high, and at the same time, because the opponent's number base is there, Zhang Shixin found that he still needs to face about three-quarters of the enemy's armored forces according to the short-term calculation in his heart.

"It's better than taking them all." After Zhang Shixin smiled bitterly and comforted himself, he quickly issued a combat order: "All vehicles are free to shoot!" ”

The vanguard of the enemy army was only about 1,500 meters away from their defensive line.

………………………………………………………… Dividing line ....................................

"How long is tens of seconds? No one has the most accurate answer, but for people on the battlefield who are about to die at any moment, tens of seconds may be longer than a year. ”

Hippal remembered this sentence that he couldn't remember the source, and he found it really plausible. Because for them who are facing a battle for the first time, these short tens of seconds are really slow......

It's just that when he heard the behemoths next to him let out their own angry screams, and the dust and smoke that were constantly kicked up by the explosion 700 meters away, he also gave a combat order.

Suddenly, hundreds of tanks began to shoot on this orderly hill.

The armored vehicles of the enemy, which were constantly rushing forward, were hit from time to time, but some were able to continue the battle, some of them suddenly slowed down after being hit by a single shell, and some were even pierced through the armor plate in front of the hull by several shells almost at the same time......

But the other side is still moving forward......

……

Zhang Shixin chose 700 meters as the firing area, mainly because there were too many enemy troops, and if he put them too close before giving the attack instructions, then although the hit rate would be a little higher, the enemy would also be easier to hit them.

He arranged the two heavy tanks in the front, the Tiger King and the Lion, although the Lion's armor protection ability is not as good as the Tiger King, but the Lion's armor protection is much better than that of the S series tank destroyers.

Zhang Shixin's arrangement is not only to let these heavy tanks attract the opponent's firepower and increase the survival chances of the armored forces behind.

At the same time, there is a more important plan. That is, when the situation is critical, they will act as counter-charge arrows, disrupting the enemy's offensive and formation.

Of course, Zhang Shixin also knows very well that such an arrangement is tantamount to sending these valuable heavy tanks to death.

But he didn't have any better cards on hand.

Although the IS-3 has much better protection than the Lion, the IS-3's anti-charge ability is also relatively weak...... Let's not talk about the effect, just the weight of the car is not too dominant.

Although Zhang Shixin has never supported impact tactics, in the absence of a better choice, even if Zhang Shixin refuses to do it from the bottom of his heart, he must do it.

The armor protection of the AMX-50-100 is slightly better than that of the Lion, but the problem is that its turret is very easy to destroy.

Unlike in the game, the AMX-50 series tank, as long as the turret support is hit, then this AMX-50 is very likely to lose combat capability.

In the game, sometimes, even if the support frame is hit by the T92 with a 240mm gold coin high-explosive bomb, it can't be the other party in seconds, but in reality, this is impossible.

Zhang Shixin knew the impact of this shortcoming on the AMX-50 heavy tank, so he refused to put the other party on the front line, although the probability of being hit in such a small position may be smaller than breaking the track, but he is not afraid of 10,000, and he is most afraid of what if, Zhang Shixin does not want these AMX-50-100 to lose their combat ability like this.

Therefore, he also arranged these AMX-50-100s in the defensive points in the second sector, and used the power of the less accurate burst guns.

Tiger hunting and elephant type, their armor protection is good, but Zhang Shixin didn't think of letting these tank destroyers be used on the front line.

Tank destroyers without turrets, in the event of the appearance of an enemy on the flank, their survivability is not much higher than that of self-propelled guns.

At the same time, Zhang Shixin pays the most attention to the opponent's firepower output, how can he let these tank destroyers with good accuracy do such things that cannot give full play to their advantages?

Even the tank destroyers with better armor protection capabilities are the lives of black guns to the end, not to mention the two S series tank destroyers with poor armor protection capabilities?

Zhang Shixin looked at the enemy armored clusters that were constantly being destroyed, but there were more tanks and combat vehicles swarming behind him, and he felt a little helpless.

It's just that, in the current situation, there aren't too many choices for him to make.

The S-51 and GW Tiger P also targeted enemy tanks in front of them, which had been blocked by a dozen tanks that had been destroyed or whose tracks had been broken and paralyzed.

Besides, even if something unexpected happens, the light tank in that area will quickly feedback this information back.

Zhang Shixin's mobilization of firepower was not only that his own self-propelled artillery unit alone could not stop the advance of enemy tanks, but also had the idea of reducing the pressure on the frontal defense line.

There are many things that people don't want to do, but they are often forced.

The enemy forces almost completely controlled the distance beyond 700 meters outside the first fortified area, and some enemy tanks and fighting vehicles, alertly hiding a little behind some of the wrecked wingmen, opened fire on the hilly area.

Several light tanks that were arranged in the vicinity quickly reported the situation, and Zhang Shixin, without thinking, let the large-caliber self-propelled guns shoot at the open space next to these enemy tank fighting vehicles.

Unlike in the game, the concussive power of the high-explosive grenade is also quite good......

But well...... After a round of shelling, Zhang Shixin only found that a few enemy tanks and combat vehicles had lost their signal.

He guessed that the shells were blocked by the abandoned tanks.

However, Zhang Shixin actually found that he had a bit of an unexpected gain, those tanks that were not completely destroyed, there were still a small number of members in them who had not been evacuated.

At the same time, being directly hit by a 203mm/210mm high-explosive grenade, some of the enemy's tanks and combat vehicles were paralyzed, but there were still some combat capabilities, and the end was often completely destroyed.

Some self-propelled guns even surprised even the gunners because of the strange location of the shells, and received a record of the number of enemy tanks and fighting vehicles damaged by one shot.

"Let you stand in a pile......" Zhang Shixin's face showed a wicked smile.

Zhang Shixin naturally knows very well that the probability of such a thing appearing is really pitiful, but it doesn't hurt Zhang Shixin's little pride.

After all, if the shelling is more than a kilometer, even if there are two bugs, Eagle Eye and Drop Point Circle, the probability of hitting the enemy's tank and combat vehicle will not be too high.

As for a self-propelled artillery firing an eagle eye at a tank moving in a straight line at a speed of about 50km, the distance between the two is 2,000 meters, Zhang Shixin knows that it is impossible to hit at all, because the difference between the front and back of the landing circle is dozens of meters.

In such a situation, the opponent's tank was hit or even destroyed by a single shot, Zhang Shixin did not think that his gunner's luck was too good, on the contrary, he felt that it was the opponent's car crew, and the RP was too bad......

War naturally also occurs from time to time some strange things that cannot be explained by common sense, and the rhetoric of luck is also admired by many people.

Zhang Shixin is noncommittal about such a statement, but he also knows that luck is really everywhere.

It's like a general, you can stuff your teeth when you drink water, and it's better for the other party not to go to the battlefield.

……

Zhang Shixin's luck today does not seem to be very good, because when the gunner was preparing to shoot again, Zhang Shixin suddenly heard a burst of shell explosion from the left front of the car body, and Zhang Shixin also received "The left track is broken, the left front inducing wheel is destroyed, and the vehicle cannot move significantly!" ".

Zhang Shixin was speechless and took out a small universal maintenance part from the captain's seat, and slapped it on the seat: "Maintenance suspension." ”

The Tiger's tracks were quickly repaired and completely intact.

It's just that what Zhang Shixin didn't know was that in the surprised eyes of a nearby car commander who occasionally glanced over, he actually saw that the front section of the track was broken, and the lower track was flat on the ground, and the upper track was obliquely on the load-bearing wheel, and at the same time, the inducing wheel was beaten out of the way......

The next moment, everything became complete......

He couldn't help but wipe his eyes subconsciously, but what he saw was still a complete suspension system.

He subconsciously shook his head: "Did you see it wrong? ”

(The way the tracks break in the game is actually not too rigorous, and a stationary tank will not be like the game after the track breaks.) As for the breakage of the tracks of the tank in high-speed movement...... In reality, either it is called a tank rescue vehicle, or the tank is abandoned, manpower cannot be repaired, and the jack is simply a useless thing...... )

Zhang Shixin's tiger hunting was broken and suspended, and Zhang Shixin attributed it to an occasional incident at most, but at the moment, he had more things to deal with.

Zhang Shixin did not expect that the mechanized infantry units of the two sides were arranged by Hippal to defend in an area more than two hundred meters in front of the hilly area.

He was not dissatisfied with Hipal's use of infantry to resist tanks and buy some time for the armored forces behind, in fact, although he did not have the idea of adopting this tactic, Zhang Shixin could hardly say that such an arrangement was a mistake.

Even if some of his own infantry were placed in those trenches, he had no intention of complaining.

However, Zhang Shixin found a very serious problem, that is, the mechanized infantry of the Gultoka Empire actually used the kind of energy powder flamethrower with local characteristics to fight......

And next to these flamethrowers are soldiers with tank killers in their hands......

"Damn!" Zhang Shixin cursed secretly, and then quickly let those anti-tank soldiers quickly move to a safe area......

After hearing Zhang Shixin's order, many soldiers quickly moved.

It's just that some soldiers just wanted to leave, but because a flamethrower had rushed to an area more than thirty meters away from them because an armored car had rushed to an area more than thirty meters away, they subconsciously stood up......

The machine gunner of the armored car noticed this and quickly opened fire......

And then?

As for the blue flames that burst because the energy powder storage tank was blown up, several anti-tank men around it swept into it......

"......" Zhang Shixin watched this scene a little speechlessly, and he was a little strange at the same time, when did the opponent's armored car rush to such a front?

Zhang Shixin didn't expect that the armored car he saw was actually an ultra-light fast reconnaissance vehicle produced by the Oswel Empire, with a speed of 55km/h and 10mm armor protection, which was more able to resist the bullets of light weapons.

If Zhang Shixin had arranged some M2 heavy machine guns on the position, it would have been basically a dozen holes......

Zhang Shixin didn't know that this thing was some crispy skin that was welded with a layer of iron plate, otherwise, there would definitely be a large number of M2 heavy machine guns in front of the position.

However, some anti-tank fighters who reacted also explained some things to Zhang Shixin with their quick wit......

It was some anti-tank fighter who had shot hollow grenades, picking up an AK-74 assault rifle on his back and shooting at the armored vehicles......

After a while, some armored vehicles actually slowed down, and it was obvious that the gearbox in front of the hull was broken......

"......" Zhang Shixin was a little speechless and looked at the hint that the infantry had wounded the enemy's armored vehicle, but he didn't have time to care about such a problem......

Because the opponent's forward line had advanced to 400 meters before their armored defense......
