Chapter 14: Bloody Opérez (12)
That night, Zhang Shixin simply asked the summoners to stick to the area they had occupied, and retreated all the other troops to a new camp five kilometers away.
Zhang Shixin didn't want to do this, but the situation at the scene was very bad, and Zhang Shixin didn't know how much combat strength his troops would have if he stayed overnight in Xicheng District.
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Fei Lei walked into Zhang Shixin's tent with a sad face, and he whispered to Zhang Shixin, who was looking at the map: "Boss, things are much more than we imagined, and the three countries are beginning to be unable to suppress some disadvantages at home and abroad, and the high-level leaders of the three countries hope that we will capture Opérez City within three days." ”
"......" Zhang Shixin punched the table, and after a while, he said, "How did the others react?" ”
Firay knew that Zhang Shixin was asking the top officer of the other troops, and he shook his head: "I don't know, but they are most likely forced to attack Opez under pressure." ”
Zhang Shixin gestured at the map and shook his head: "Three days is too urgent for such a large city. It seems that they must pave a path to victory with the lives of their soldiers. ”
"Boss, what should we do next?" Fei Lei looked at Zhang Shixin, who had an unkind face, and said the question in his heart.
Zhang Shixin smiled bitterly: "What else can I do?" In such a situation, we can only gamble with them. ”
"But we're going to have a lot of casualties." Fei Lei couldn't bear to let his subordinates die in this foreign country, and he was a little helpless about Zhang Shixin's thoughts.
"Of course I know that, but we've come to this point and we can't give up so easily. Send a telegram to Alice and ask them to prepare the amount of the pension. Alas...... I don't know what you're saying? You also know very well that if we don't coordinate our actions with them, we risk that this battle will be ruined, and what will we do then? ”
Zhang Shixin looked at Fei Lei, who nodded silently: "Okay, boss, I'll do this first." ”
Zhang Shixin looked at the background of Fei Lei's departure, and was very helpless.
He also didn't want to trade the lives of his men as consumables in exchange for victory.
However, he did not want to lead to this battle for their sake, and this operation failed.
In a word, Zhang Shixin's current actions can be said to affect the whole body.
Although the strength of the Elven Dragon Security Company is not large, it is now enough to affect the outcome of a battle.
Zhang Shixin didn't know whether he should be happy or worried about this. All he had to do was to emerge victorious and kill those who could not remain in this world.
The encounter in the afternoon made Zhang Shixin feel very sad, because the country has lost the need to exist.
Is it necessary for a country where even civilians do unprovoked acts?
Although there are still some soldiers in this country who still remember what they were born for, they have also done their job brilliantly.
Although, everything backfired, but Zhang Shixin remembered Carter and Dress, he knew very well that people are good and bad, but like Oswell, a country where there are many more bad people than good people, Zhang Shixin thinks that if it can survive like this, is there any reason for this?
He even imagined the scene from the young man's mouth.
A group of poorly armed militias and police forces refused to carry out the tactics of using civilians as decoys. They released most of the civilians in Xicheng District, but they did not know that the regular army, which could no longer be called soldiers, knew about this and launched a fierce offensive against them.
The results of this battle speak for themselves, even if these militia units exert extraordinary strength, they will not be able to stop the attacks of those troops.
As a result, it was the scene that Zhang Shixin saw.
Although Zhang Shixin had a certain psychological preparation for such a situation, he really didn't expect that even if a country's garrison was like this, then some other big nobles of the Osville Empire could only be regarded as a small thing.
Zhang Shixin was deeply disgusted with the country, but he had to ask those in the know to forbid the news to the Dressers siblings.
Zhang Shixin was worried that these two people would do something stupid.
Although such a thing will be made public one day, Zhang Shixin hopes that in such a situation, the two siblings will know about it as late as possible.
He also remembered the boy talking about his mother's body blocking him in order to keep him from being harmed.
Zhang Shixin didn't know if he had done the right thing or wrong for letting Zhao Feilin solve the boy.
From his point of view, he did this to free the teenager who no longer had the will to live.
However, in the hearts of those who protect him, Zhang Shixin is an out-and-out executioner.
In the end, Zhang Shixin muttered a sentence: "I...... Is it a hypocrite? ”
……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................
"Didn't you get a break last night?" Grelian glanced at Zhang Shixin, who was sitting in the captain's seat, because Zhang Shixin's eyes were a little blue, and the girl wearing a women's military uniform of the Elf Dragon Security Company without a logo asked curiously.
Zhang Shixin shook his head, and then took a deep breath: "Grelian, pass the order, for the soldiers of the Osville Army...... Leave no mouth alive. ”
Zhang Shixin's words were very plain, but Grelian knew very well the strong murderous aura in Zhang Shixin's words.
Grelian shrugged her shoulders, she didn't know what happened to Zhang Shixin, but she had also conveyed a lot of Zhang Shixin's strange orders, so she was used to it.
With Grelian's orders, a large number of troops entered the city of Opérez again.
This time, Xicheng only left a faint burnt taste.
However, on several streets, there were quite a few corpses of the Osvell army that launched last night, as well as a dozen abandoned tank fighting vehicles.
And some summoners also suffered a lot of casualties in yesterday's battle, so Zhang Shixin asked these summoners to recall them to the space for recuperation in the name of rest.
……
The battle resumed on several streets controlled by the Osvell army, and from time to time there were fierce attacks of all kinds.
Inside a building more than four stories high, there were a large number of Osville troops on the defensive, but in the absence of anti-tank weapons, they were simply powerless against the assault formation led by the E-50M.
Some of the ground floor windows had some small-caliber anti-tank guns, however, after being hit by several tanks with high-explosive shells in the room where they were located, these anti-tank guns were muted.
"Heavy fire cleaned up!"
The commander of one of the KV-1s took a look at the building, which was already devoid of an obvious heavy fire arrangement, and said to the signal corps.
The signal corps quickly sent the news out, and then, around the corner of the street, a dozen armored vehicles full of soldiers appeared.
The armored vehicles stopped at the back of the armored assault formation, and one by one the soldiers of the Elven Dragon Security Company, holding their best weapons in their hands, jumped out of the back compartments one after another.
Occasionally, some soldiers were hit by soldiers from the Osvell Army, and the soldiers who jumped down from behind dragged their wounded comrades to relatively safe positions, shouting for the medic.
For the comrades who were directly killed, these soldiers did not pay much attention.
This practice was explained by Zhang Shixin's operational guidance.
Zhang Shixin did not deliberately let the corpses of those dead subordinates be in the battlefield, but he believed that losing more soldiers' lives for the sake of a comrade who had already died was not worth advocating.
Although it is possible that some soldiers did not die immediately, they did not receive effective medical treatment and died.
However, **, the neck and head were directly shot, or suffered serious injuries, such a situation is more likely to be untreated.
Just like a gunshot in the lungs, it is difficult to deal with such injuries in battlefield first aid, and even if you are transferred to a large hospital in time, the mortality rate is quite high.
As for the major artery in the neck or the trachea that is hit, even if it does not die immediately, such an injury is not at all an injury that a military doctor can handle.
Therefore, although some officers did not dare to fully agree with Zhang Shixin's approach, they could not refute Zhang Shixin's handling method.
There are many weapons against the infantry, but the cannonballs are undoubtedly a killer for the soldiers inside the building.
The armored assault formations did not pay much attention to the infantry, but let the machine gun shooters on the armored vehicles and the infantry against the enemy.
The M2 heavy machine gun, equipped with a machine gun mount, is able to shoot at enemy troops from more angles, and at the same time, the 12.7mm conventional bullet can easily penetrate the concrete wall two or three hundred meters away.
In some cases, a machine-gun shooter on an armored vehicle was able to punch a diagonal bullet hole in the building's exterior wall with a single lateral straf.
However, the M2 heavy machine gun has a weakness, that is, the machine gun is not equipped with a protective shield.
Therefore, from time to time, the machine gun shooter was hit, and the machine gun shooter who died directly slipped into the carriage, and the sub-machine gunner quickly took the position of the main gunner and continued to fight.
There were also some very unlucky armored vehicles that had to temporarily retreat because both machine gunners were shot.
However, several armored vehicles retreated within a few minutes, and the remaining armored vehicles also retreated under the curses of the driver.
Because on the other side of the street there were quite a few tanks and fighting vehicles of the Osvell army.
Zhang Shixin's tactic is heavy equipment, which is used to deal with heavy equipment.
Armored vehicles had to temporarily retreat in the face of enemy tanks.
Zhang Shixin's approach is not to let the armored vehicles leave the battlefield, but to avoid unnecessary losses.
It is impossible to deal with a tank with good armor defense with machine guns alone.
The armored assault formations that were cleaning the machine gun positions above the building also turned their muzzles, and of course, the driver also made a steering wheel, so that the body of the car was slightly placed at a narrow angle to increase their survivability.
How to swing the angle of the car body?
Zhang Shixin knows that each tank has its own characteristics, so there is no conclusive conclusion about such a situation.
But the more common thing is that the body of the car is facing the enemy and then assigns a posture at a 15-degree angle.
In doing so, the angular armor of 15 degrees is increased in disguise for many tanks, but such an angular increase does not make much sense for tank fighting vehicles with too weak armor.
Just like the M18 "Hellcat" tank destroyer in the game, the three-dimensional distribution of the hull armor is 13mm, and this armor data can theoretically be worn by a car.
In fact, the same is true, except for the ricochet that appears because of the angle, this thing is worn by whoever hits it. Therefore, Zhang Shixin's swing angle tactics are mandatory for some thin leather cars or tank destroyers.
Thin leather cars are not necessary, and TD is because of the problem of firing range, many tank destroyers or assault guns after the 15-degree angle of the firing range is pitiful, not to mention, sometimes even more than the maximum horizontal firing range.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin just asked the tanks that were capable of doing so to fight in this way as much as possible.
Zhang Shixin was originally more inclined to the tactic of swinging the car body, but unlike in the game, the car body where the loader was swinging was simply unstable, and there were some other problems, so this tactic was abandoned by Zhang Shixin.
Zhang Shixin didn't want to fall because of the loader, and the shell in his hand hit the armor bottom plate, which was not fun.
……
The exchange of fire between the armored units soon began again.
The armored forces that appeared on the other side were more heavy tanks and tank destroyers.
Zhang Shixin's troops did not attack the tanks first, but gave priority to those tank destroyers.
Because Zhang Shixin knows one sentence very clearly: although the best anti-tank weapon is still a tank, tank destroyers pose a greater threat to tanks.
Because tanks are limited by turrets, many tanks cannot accommodate larger caliber guns.
However, tank destroyers have more warhead styles, and sometimes even adopt an open-top structure in order to carry weapons of a larger caliber.
Therefore, the firepower of tank destroyers is generally stronger than that of tanks of the same era.
Based on this situation, Zhang Shixin made an order to attack the enemy.
Self-propelled guns>assault guns> tank destroyers> heavy tanks> medium/light tanks.
This refers to the enemy encountered in the battle, and Zhang Shixin was not stupid enough to let the troops pick self-propelled artillery to strike, because when the enemy's self-propelled artillery appeared, a battle should also end.
The threat of assault guns is stronger than that of tank destroyers, because the firepower of assault guns is much stronger than that of ordinary tank destroyers.
For example, in reality, an ISU-152 is far more powerful than an ISU-122 or ISU-122S.
The latter is already more than capable in the face of the M46 thing. (Refer to the Middle East War)
But will the M46 dare to face an ISU-152 head-on?
The answer, of course, is no.
Not to mention the M46 "Patton", even guys like the T-72 and M60, before they have reactive armor, have to think about what will happen to them if they are hit by a 152 high-explosive grenade.
The ISU-152 in the game has become a scum-like existence, in fact, as an assault gun, Zhang Shixin believes that the ISU-152 is stronger than the ISU-122/ISU-122S even if it is not as good as the **L-10.
The role of medium and light tanks in the game is quite strong, but in reality, in the case of large corps operations, it is difficult for medium tanks and light tanks to play their role in the face of heavy tanks or other vehicles in the case of head-on confrontation.
It is true that the medium and light tanks can make a detour and attack quickly, but it is undoubtedly a wrong tactic to do so while the enemy's main force is still alive.
Because it is conceivable that when a team of twenty or thirty medium tanks or light tanks saw hundreds of tank combat vehicles and found them, the barrels were pointed at them, and the expressions of the crews of these medium tanks were undoubtedly very sad.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin's tactics are not static, but in general, he tends to fight in this way.
……
Fighting between armored units also broke out in several other streets. However, before these tanks and combat vehicles could be separated, Zhang Shixin's self-propelled artillery unit also joined the battle.
Of course, these self-propelled guns did not come with bayonets from the other side, but carried out long-range fire support outside the city.
The anti-sky function of Eagle Eye has been once again demonstrated.
After the loader has loaded the shell, the gunner quickly adjusts the shooting element in Hawkeye mode.
A few seconds later, a shell was fired.
After more than ten seconds of fierce fighting, many places on the streets were covered by the air waves generated by the explosions of various medium- and large-caliber high-explosive grenades.
Some of these gunners, after hitting their targets, showed a slight smile.
Some found themselves knocking the shell off, shook their heads, and then shouted to the loader: "High-explosive shells!" ”
Some were scolded half a minute later.
Why?
Not only did they send the shells flying, but they also smashed them on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street, and the falling masonry and debris killed and wounded some of the soldiers who were hiding under the corresponding positions.
Nearby soldiers saw this and had to risk being hit by running over and picking up some of their comrades who did not appear to be seriously injured and taking them to another safe place.
The officer of the infantry unit was furious and snatched the headset of the signal soldier: "You y, which bird feather hits!" Depend on! ”
Well, the gunner was depressed when he saw that the leader of the artillery team was constantly apologizing and waving his fists and saying that he wanted to make the gunner look good.
Anyway, artillery support was soon fired again.
This skirmish ended quickly.
In addition to the rapid escape of a small number of enemy tanks and fighting vehicles, several streets were filled with tank wreckage.
……
The troops continued to advance, and the battle became more and more intense, Zhang Shixin in the E-75** turret, through the tactical map constantly issued combat instructions.
Zhang Shixin was also on the tactical map, and saw that the infantry quickly erased some pale red symbols after capturing some houses.
He didn't have an idea, but muttered, "You can't live if you do your own evil." (To be continued.) )
