Chapter 1: The Battle of Gelsarin (1)
"Where are the enemy reinforcements!? And are you fools dragging your feet in destroying an enemy army of this size??? A man in a lieutenant general's uniform roared inside the command.
Because after Zhang Shixin's troops joined the battle, the offensive and defensive forms of the two sides were quickly exchanged.
Their armored forces were simply powerless to resist Zhang Shixin's armored charge.
Their heavy tank units are facing the formation of Su-152 and Cheetah, and they are more passively beaten.
Although their armored forces also pose a certain threat to Zhang Shixin's troops, even the IS heavy tanks cannot be unscathed.
And Gultokati [***], who was supposed to start collapsing, was also under the command of the surviving middle and high-ranking officers, cooperating with Zhang Shixin's Elven Dragon Security Company troops to carry out a counterattack.
The fighting in the Gersarin area is heating up again.
Zhang Shixin asked the troops to disperse their actions within a certain range as much as possible, not only because the towns were not spread out of armored troops, but also because he had a plan, that is, to maintain the battle in the urban area as much as possible.
The towns and towns can be regarded as having tiles to cover their heads, so that they will not be covered by the enemy's artillery units. Moreover, mechanized infantry will be better able to fight in towns.
Therefore, based on these circumstances, Zhang Shixin preferred to rely on the almost ruined urban areas to fight, rather than the retreating troops to fight against the coalition forces.
He didn't have a lot of troops, and he relied on towns for defense, but he was able to delay for a longer time.
Zhang Shixin's infantry units became the focus of defense, and the armored units relied more on their own mobile surnames to swim in the area and fight.
Zhang Shixin has this confidence, more because his infantry units have shown combat effectiveness in street battles, and they are not inferior to tanks and fighting vehicles.
Each of the 10-man squads was equipped with two tank killers, two M14 semi-automatic rifles equipped with sniper scopes, designated Barrett M78 anti-materiel sniper rifles, and others were more equipped with AK-74 assault rifles.
Of course, the power of the 5.45mm bullet is not as good as the 7.92mm bullet, and the all-round improvement in addition to the hitting accuracy is an important factor for Zhang Shixin to replace the Steyr 44 assault rifle with the AK-74 assault rifle.
And the AK-44 is capable of carrying more ammunition than the Steyr 74.
Sometimes, even an extra magazine will allow a soldier to fight better.
Town battles don't require much machine guns, especially heavy machine guns with chain boxes, which can only play their part in defending open areas.
The left and right of a machine gun in street fighting is far less practical than a sniper rifle, an assault rifle, or even a submachine gun.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin let the infantry units be equipped with assault rifles on a large scale before the battle, mainly because of this reason.
Many of the submachine guns of World War II had their own flaws to a greater or lesser extent. A good submachine gun is either slow to fire, like the MP-38/40, or too heavy, like a Thomson.
PPSH40 and other things,Zhang Shixin can't look down on it,Although the problem of stuck bullets has been overcome,But the surname of ppsh40 can't be improved much.,71 rounds of drumming...... It is better to equip it directly with the MG-34.
Therefore, Zhang Shixin doesn't know that submachine guns are the king of close-range street fighting, but well, there is no suitable choice, it is better to use AK-74 assault rifles to temporarily replace submachine guns.
Anyway, the need for precision in street fighting is not too strict.
Zhang Shixin's favorite submachine guns are the MP5 series and the Uzi submachine gun.
But these two weapons also don't have much hope for a short time.
As for Barrett M78, the surname of this thing is really very superior, if it weren't for the high cost, Zhang Shixin would not have arranged for a team to be equipped with only one door, and it would only be equipped with summoners in the squad.
This thing is not something that normal people can fight with their hands.
The game is a game, in reality, a soldier with a little less physique, holding a Barrett M85 in both hands for a charge...... It is estimated that after one or two rounds, the arm bones can be cracked.
Moreover, many CF players say that Barrett is able to penetrate the frontal armor of the T-90......
Zhang Shixin only smiled, this thing is still somewhat effective against gunships, but against tanks......
Let's see what happens.
The front of the BTR vehicle can effectively defend against 12.7mm tungsten core armor-piercing bullets...... Besides, anti-materiel rifles, as the name suggests, are not used to fight tanks.
Therefore, the reason why Zhang Shixin installed this thing is more to provide damage to lightly armored targets.
Tank killers are used to deal with armored vehicles, and Zhang Shixin can't help but feel sorry for his shell money.
Therefore, according to his own cost considerations, Zhang Shixin had to equip a Barrett M78 to deal with lightly armored targets.
It's just that how powerful is the Barrett M78 against armored vehicles......
Zhang Shixin is honestly not very optimistic about this thing, after all, infantry attacking armored vehicles means killing the driver with a weapon or blowing up the fuel tank.
Here, Zhang Shixin can't help but think of a very famous movie, the bug of "Saving Private Ryan", that is, Bazooka attacked the 251 armored car, and the fuel tank exploded as a result of hitting the front......
Well, hollow jet v587......
So the Barrett M78 against the enemy's armored vehicles, more according to this law. It's just that the more powerful piercing bullet allows the Barrett M78 to also penetrate the side armor plates of the armored vehicle and kill and injure the infantry members inside.
It is also worth noting that an infantry with a Barrett M78 bullet, even if you wear body armor, will either die or be maimed.
If you get a 12.7mm bullet in the thigh, it's up to you to live or die. Because it is not good, the abdominal organs of the person who were shot have been severely damaged, and a normal person can survive in this situation?
Therefore, although the weapons assigned to Zhang Shixin in the squad cannot make the soldiers of the squad invincible, they are enough to deal with very complex combat situations, which is already Zhang Shixin's idea to do a good job.
After a short period of fighting, Zhang Shixin recaptured a part of the southern part of Gelsarin and put his troops on the defensive.
…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................
The coalition forces did not have much time for Zhang Shixin to set up the defensive line, and many tanks and combat vehicles did not enter the established combat positions, and another wave of coalition forces rushed up.
Frontal combat is more about catching and killing, rather than fighting methods such as lightly seeking trouble with Zhongtan.
Combat is not a game of World of Tanks, in reality, a tank unit is not a mix of all kinds of tanks, and a large number of infantry brothers?
In this case, an infantryman with the right weapons and the right opportunity can easily inflict heavy damage on the tank.
Therefore, the task of the infantry also includes the protection of the flanks and rear of the armored forces.
Although some tanks and fighting vehicles do not enter the combat area, if the infantry has occupied the remains of buildings that are still intact or useful, then the infantry can also play a powerful role in street fighting.
……
"The enemy has appeared! Ready for battle!! In a dilapidated house where the situation in the distant street could be observed, the leader of a squad hurriedly shouted as a dozen armored vehicles and a large group of infantry appeared on the other side of the road.
The soldiers of this squad raised their weapons one after another.
And the two soldiers with the tank killer in their hands are holding three shells and hiding with the tank killer in their hands.
When the infantry came to a range of about 200 meters from their defensive point, the Barrett M78 anti-materiel rifle in the squad leader's hand let out an angry howl first.
Immediately, a 12.7mm bullet came out of its chamber and flew straight towards the driver's seat of an armored vehicle.
The team leader then saw in the scope that a small hole had been pierced in the armor plate of the driver's position of the armored car, but the armored car was still moving forward.
The team leader was puzzled for a while: "I didn't miss it." Could there be another position for the driver?
The team leader quickly adjusted the direction of aiming, aiming for the position below the gap in the other observation window.
"Pong"
Shortly after another gunshot, the armored vehicle finally stopped. The infantry on the vehicle did not know what was happening after a while, and they jumped out of the vehicle from both sides.
They didn't expect that two M14s with scopes mounted on them were also aimed at them......
At the same time, the soldiers armed with AK-74 assault rifles were also shooting at the enemy.
The infantry on this armored car, except for a few soldiers who were clever enough to quickly roll behind the nearest bunker after jumping out of the car, most of the others died on the road.
As the battle continued, the squad leader continued to shoot at the moving driver's position, while his infantry shot the infantry who jumped down, as well as some of the more daring follow-up infantry.
After the squad leader changed a magazine, there were more than two dozen dead or wounded infantrymen lying on the road, as well as four armored vehicles that had lost the ability to move.
The enemy soldiers hidden behind their respective bunkers did not dare to rashly stick out their heads to observe the situation, because there were two soldiers who wanted to observe the situation, and the steel helmets were directly killed after being pierced by a 7.62mm NATO rifle bullet, and the blood quickly ran along the necks, staining the upper part of their military uniforms into a blood-red color.
In such a situation, they did not dare to act rashly.
However, at this time, an OLS-HT35 heavy tank produced by the Olevis Empire moved its bulky body and slowly drove over from the other end.
The commander of the armored convoy hurriedly communicated with the commander of the tank:
"We have encountered the enemy's firepower point, according to speculation, it should be the anti-infantry firepower point, please support it!"
"Okay."
The tank then headed for here.
"There are tanks! Stop shooting! The squad leader quickly made a judgment. Then put away the tripod of the Barrett M78 and prepare it to transfer at any time.
The others could have continued to shoot because they could just run away, but he had to lock the bolt and suffer if he accidentally misfired.
It took about a minute for the tank to finally advance to the side of several paralyzed armored vehicles.
The team leader glanced at the two soldiers with the tank killers hidden behind a bombed house a few dozen meters in front of the tank, who were looking out into the street and feeling a slight vibration from the ground.
As the clock ticked by, the OLS-HT35 heavy tank also sold the flanks of its hulking body, the rear of the hull, to two bazooka men who were preparing to shoot.
The crew of this tank, unbeknownst to them, the Grim Reaper had reserved a list for them......
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" ......
Two 100mm rocket-boosted hollow grenades with tail flames flew straight behind the OLS-HT35 heavy tank's turret and at the rear of the engine.
In less than a second, there were two minor explosions in the rear of the OLS-HT35 heavy tank, and the part of the armor that was hit was slightly blackened, however, the tank only continued to move forward for a distance of more than ten meters and stopped in place, and the engine position began to burn, but the crew in the turret was indifferent......
After the engine that caught fire detonated the fuel tank, the tank's crew remained silent.
"Are the crews of this tank all stupid?" The commander of the armored convoy was anxious, but he could not do anything, because he knew that if his infantry came forward, the enemy would never give up the opportunity to kill them.
However, if the commander opened the turret of the tank, which was already blazing, he would find a slightly charred corpse curled up in a ball.
In fact, the rocket-boosted hollow grenade fired at the turret had killed almost all of the crew members in the turret.
The driver had a little better luck, but because of a head wound, he fell into a coma and was burned alive inside the car before he could escape from the tank.
The two rocket gunners didn't have time to check their results, but directly picked up the tank killer and found a place to hide again.
After reaching a position that they considered safe, they stuck the barrel diagonally into the ground and then loaded a shell behind it.
Bazooka weapons are usually made by two people, but in fact, one person can use them, but it will be very troublesome to reload.
With the help of intermediate ammunition technology, Zhang Shixin's rocket launcher does not need to be loaded with propellants, so it has become very simple for one person to work.
Unlike when the enemy encounters the blow of an infantry squad, more enemies encounter Zhang Shixin's armored fighting vehicle, or multiple strikes.
……
Zhang Shixin did not bring the AMX-13 into the battlefield, but asked them to protect the self-propelled artillery unit, and in street fighting, these thin-skinned things could not fully exploit the advantages of mobile surname ability in the streets, so it is possible that these AMX-13s could be killed by enemy infantry with a bundle of cluster grenades.
At the same time, unlike in the game, the tank crashed into the house, which is also not a fun thing, broken tracks, and broken gun barrels are all small things, if they are buried directly by the rubble, Zhang Shixin has no place to cry.
Zhang Shixin naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
So AMX-13 you should stay in the rear, the current battlefield is not for you.
So what Zhang Shixin is bringing to the battlefield now are some other tanks and combat vehicles.
And his flag car, naturally, is still the King Tiger tank.
Compared with the Tiger King, the T-54/55 has better defense capabilities, but Zhang Shixin can't stand that kind of narrow place.
He also knows that for tanks, "low and low" is king, and "high and handsome" is more of a good-looking thing.
But he still can't accept the narrowness of the T series, so he still likes to stay on the King Tiger tank.
The second group of enemy troops launched a fierce attack on the defensive line laid out by Zhang Shixin, but they encountered Zhang Shixin's armored units and anti-tank weapons close to the attack, and suffered heavy losses.
But in contrast to this situation, they were able to fight Zhang Shixin a tank and chariot with a certain loss, which was enough for Zhang Shixin to cry out in pain.
Zhang Shixin knew that the defense of the T-44 was indeed very scummy, but he really didn't expect that the opponent's heavy tank, a long-barreled tank gun with a visual space of about 105mm, would be able to penetrate the T-44 as the main force as long as it hit, Zhang Shixin really couldn't calm down.
Because the combat effectiveness of these T-44s is okay, if it weren't for the fact that there are many restrictions in the case of street fighting, which leads to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the T-44s is greatly limited, their combat losses will actually drop a lot.
As for the Su-152, which has a worse defense, sometimes it is more of a one-shot fire.
It is clear that with such a broken rate of fire as the Su-152, it will not be able to take out those OLS-HT35 heavy tanks.
If it weren't for the Cheetah's help, these Su-152s would have been wiped out long ago.
The opponent's heavy tank is very weird, and the mobile surname column and defense are not necessarily good, but the artillery power seems to be very good.
The opponent's defense is not good, because the Su-152's armor-piercing projectile may penetrate the opponent's front armor, and the Su-152's armor-piercing projectile is good, but even if the penetration depth is corrected by technology, the average penetration is only about 150mm.
It is equivalent to a long 75mm cannon without technological corrections.
However, if the front of these tanks is pierced by 152mm armor-piercing shells, the fate is no better than that of the T-44 that was blown out by a single shot.
Zhang Shixin found that several T-44s were directly pierced through the shield by the opponent, and then the turret was violently exploded and lifted away.
The T-54/55 does not have this problem, but well, the front armor of the chassis of the T-54/55 is not able to easily defend against the opponent's 105mm shells.
Zhang Shixin was not afraid of the power of the other party's cannonballs, but was surprised that this world was really full of wonders.
Others are more likely to develop heavy tanks with better defense and acceptable firepower, but the mobile surname is still not worth mentioning.
But the things he encountered, on the icons of the tactical map, the three horizontal bars meant that the tanks were indeed heavy.
Isn't it like the unrestrained move of the WG, and the T-30 is actually a tank destroyer?
Zhang Shixin didn't think about it, because he was distressed by a heavy IS tank that had been blown up.
IS is more expensive than the T-44 for such a transitional thing. Because the IS heavy tank is actually produced at about the same price as the IS-2.
Zhang Shixin found that he suddenly had a feeling of distress, all he brought this time were summoners, because he couldn't let those undertrained recruits go to the battlefield to die.
Under this premise, the battle damage of the T-44 actually made Zhang Shixin feel a little heartache.
Therefore, even with the advantage of geographical factors, Zhang Shixin is still a little unbearable in the face of such a loss.
Although the casualties were not too large, they could not withstand the number of losses of tank fighting vehicles.
He's kind of hateful, even though he's holding a big advantage right now.
It's just that no matter how big the losses are, he can't easily withdraw from the battlefield.
Because the main purpose of his stay here is to stall for time.
"King Tiger tank formation, attack! AMX-13, draw out an armored company and divide into three squads for enemy reconnaissance! Zhang Shixin issued a new combat order.
He knew that this was not the time to hide it.
