Chapter 609: Apocalypse, Rhino (I)
The sound of cannons and the rolling iron stream broke the Far East in the spring, and the whole of Siberia was in a mess.
Winter is over and the warplanes are ripe, and for both China and the millions of Allied troops stationed in Siberia, the warmer climate is a common advantage. On certain occasions, war is equal for both sides. It is more about the advantages of one and the other, and those who can adapt to the changes in the war will be able to grasp the "momentum" more.
Momentum is not only the first opportunity, but also the momentum and the morale of the soldiers, and even grasp the overall situation; whoever has more "momentum" will be able to grasp the war, and the winning situation will inevitably increase greatly.
Regardless of China's advanced weaponry and equipment, it can always seize the opportunity when a war starts, but in fact, China has more of a grasp of the "situation" on the one hand.
Just like the war of aggression against China in later generations, although Japan's weaponry was higher than that of China, Japan just lacked a "momentum" and a grasp of the overall situation. As the saying goes, there is a lack of grand strategic vision, and tactical command may be very good, but without long-term strategic vision, no matter how good tactical command is, it is only an advantage in the situation. There is no way to grasp the direction of the overall situation of the war.
Even if the United States had not dropped atomic bombs on Japan in the future, Japan would have been defeated by the Chinese armed forces. It may take a long time, but it won't be Japan.
When millions of Allied troops began to attack, the Northeast Theater knocked out the opponent's general headquarters, allowing hundreds of thousands of elite troops to fall under the neutron bullets along with Komsomolsk.
In the end, the goal was not only to destroy the enemy hiding in the bunker of Komsomolsk, but also to eliminate the command center of millions of troops. Thus occupying the initiative in the war. The Chinese army, which was outnumbered and equipped by the Allies, occupied the initiative in the war.
The hundreds of thousands of Allied troops hidden in the bunker of Komsomolsk were nothing more than beating rabbits in the grass. Because of the power of the neutron bomb, it can allow nuclear radiation to penetrate the bunker without hindrance and kill and injure the personnel inside. In today's Komsomolsk, there may still be many people who did not die immediately, but the nuclear radiation has made these allied soldiers live for only a few days, and death is inevitable. Perhaps in a week at most, the entire Komsomolsk will become a ghost city completely.
The stretch of bunkers may allow them to escape the powerful Chinese artillery. It can block China's advanced tanks and individual weapons. But in front of a nuclear bomb. It's all just decoration.
The killing and wounding of these soldiers was, of course, one of China's goals, and when the news that Komsomolsk had become a ghost city was widely disseminated, it was a fatal blow to the morale of the Allied forces. Although this was at the very beginning of the war. It won't make a difference. But as long as it lasts. Such a situation would be very beneficial to China.
When the bullet exploded, it was the time when the entire Chinese front officially turned to the offensive. When the border line, after blocking the offensive of the Soviet Union and the Japanese Kwantung Army wave after wave. Such a counterattack came violently and deadly.
Despite the fact that there were countless commissars and instructors in the Soviet troops, they were constantly instilling ideas in the soldiers. However, in the powerful steel torrent of China and the advance of helicopter troops, Rao is Soviet Red Army, no matter how good the momentum is, it is just a broken bone under the tracks.
The Japanese Kwantung Army, which was even more "heroic" than the Soviet Red Army, even if Bushido was supporting every soldier, Bushido had no way to make flesh and blood harder than tank armor. Bushido only gave these Japanese Kwantung Army soldiers a sad comfort to themselves when they were dying.
The four army groups were grouped, and together with the helicopter units that never stopped in the sky, the four army groups were like four sharp swords, cutting East Siberia into four pieces.
The armored cluster went north and went directly east from the northernmost point of Heilongjiang. The southern armored cluster, which marched directly from the northeastern corner of North Korea in the direction of Vladivostok. The middle two armored clusters form a large pincer up and down, and the end of the pincers is Komsomolsk.
The four-way armored cluster is all the latest armored group in China, the vanguard is the uncrowned king of the Chinese land war, the Apocalypse tank, and the Apocalypse tank is no longer an armored vehicle, but a rhinoceros tank, followed by anti-tank and anti-aircraft infantry fighting vehicles.
As a weapon of the Red Police unit, the strength of the Rhino tank also greatly exceeds that of the Chinese Tiger King, which is developed and produced by China itself. And only the Rhino tank and another Red Alert unit infantry fighting vehicle can keep up with the speed of the Apocalypse tank's assault.
Coupled with the Hind attack helicopters that support everywhere in the sky and the Nighthawk helicopters that constantly carry out deep landing special forces, the Allied forces in East Siberia have formed a real deep cluster charge.
Such a tactical method of warfare, not to mention that the Soviet Union did not use it, even Germany never used it. The strategy of great depth put forward by the Soviet Red Army is only a preliminary stage in the large-scale leapfrog and large-depth strikes used by China.
Across a hundred kilometers and one hundred and fifty kilometers in depth, this was already a kind of limit for the USSR. However, as for China, along the entire northeast route, it has become a large span of length, and the depth is planned to be at least 300 kilometers deep.
Of course, this has strict requirements for tanks, and if it is replaced by China's own King Tiger tank, such a task will not be completed at all. But in the case of Apocalypse Tanks and Rhinoceros, such a large-depth strike is by no means empty words.
It is precisely with a strong enough diamond that such a porcelain work will be dismounted.
In addition, the Nighthawk helicopter was in the enemy's rear, and through mobile parachuting, it controlled and destroyed the Allied forces' communications, ammunition depots, and oil depots, which also provided a lot of convenience for large-depth strikes, which not only saved time but also made the war more stable, so that it would not be out of the control of the theater command.
Throughout history, there has not been a single battle in which such a method has been used.
In fact, when it comes to the decision of Zhukov and others to attack Northeast China, they also used a large-scale assault of armored clusters, and they had to break through at least 100 kilometers into China at the first time. However, this can only say that the teacher died before he was killed.
Zhukov, Patton, and Okamura Ninji, the three famous generals of the Allied forces, were buried under neutron bombs before they saw their troops enter China. Be a part of many firsts.
The first use of nuclear weapons, the first use of neutron bombs on the battlefield. The first high-ranking general to die in nuclear weapons,......
The regrets of the history of the afterlife, at least in this time and space, will not appear.
In later generations, the neutron bomb was hailed as a third-generation nuclear weapon, but this nuclear weapon, which was developed to be suitable for tactical warfare, has a drawback. That is, it has been used from the battlefield of the future.
At this moment, this flaw does not appear. Before the nuclear and hydrogen bombs were put on the field, China was the first to use them.
If China had used a hydrogen bomb or a nuclear bomb, Komsomolsk would have been abolished. Therefore, the neutron bomb became the best choice, and it was not in vain the identity of the three generals. They are enough to be remembered by future generations.
――――――
The ground war is also moving forward in the direction of the established direction. Four arrowheads, nearly 800,000 troops, began to cut and merge the Allied army of several millions. The garrison units in the subsequent second-line troops were further occupied and consolidated to prevent the destruction of small groups of enemy troops. The troops advancing on the second line to meet the enemy were also all armored troops, and they were drawn into a horizontal line. Advance towards the enemy level.
As the second main front in the Northeast Theater. The strength of the second-line troops reached a million. Although these troops did not have the advanced equipment of the front-line troops, for the Allied forces in front of them, the World War II troops were already extremely terrifying.
Although there are no all-encompassing assault rifles. But equipped with a large number of submachine guns, the firepower is not weaker than the Soviet Bobosha, and in the second-line troops, there are more King Tiger tanks and Chinese leopards, as sweeping the battlefield with the first-line troops, such equipment is completely qualified. The lethality to the Allies was also enormous.
As the most sudden step on the front, the rapid reaction brigade of the Janissary Army ran at the forefront of the entire front when the counteroffensive began. Although the strength of the rapid reaction brigade is very strong, the heavy troops they have to face and the pressure they have to face is the greatest on the entire front.
However, as the commander of the rapid reaction brigade, Huang Wei did not have such awareness. He has also gone from the old southwest to the present, and has experienced many battles. The smoke of war could not make him timid, and the test of life and death stimulated the crazy gene in his heart.
Relying on the fact that his car is an advanced Apocalypse tank, he went on a rampage all the way, without considering the feelings of the enemy at all.
The Apocalypse tank is the main battle tank of the Red Alert 2 Red Side Marine Battle, and the original two-barreled Apocalypse was condensed into a single barrel in reality because it was too bulky, and the barrel caliber was also unified to 125 mm caliber. It belongs to the same caliber as the tank guns of the Rhino and King Tiger tanks. Because in this era, a 125 mm caliber tank gun simply has no enemy that it cannot destroy on land, so there is no need to come up with a larger caliber main gun.
The most powerful weapon for the times is the most powerful.
The Apocalypse tank is equipped with an automatic artillery calibration radar with national characteristics and a night-vision thermal imaging sighting system. It is equipped with a detachable automatic loader, a two-way stabilization system. Due to the modular artillery design, the work of quick disassembly and replacement of the gun can be carried out, and a 125-mm semi-automatic composite (dual-purpose) semi-automatic gun is installed in the conventional version, which can fire rocket extended-range shells and bottom-row shells. A 30-mm high-level rapid-fire gun was also installed.
The new ceramic composite armor similar to the later M1A2 tank is adopted, which has a very high degree of strike resistance and strong anti-armor piercing performance. Theoretically, all kinds of weapons up to 140mm could not penetrate its armor from the front. Reactive armor or explosive reactive armor can be hung, and composite armor skirts can be hung on both sides of the track.
The muzzle is equipped with an electromagnetic acceleration system, which is the range of the gun, and the auxiliary armament is a 12.7 mm machine gun with a large elevation angle mounted on each of the two annular gun mounts, of course, the machine gun can be replaced or the machine gun can be installed with a remote-controlled weapon station that can be equipped with a variety of weapons (including a grenade machine gun or a 20 mm cannon).
The hull is designed with high-angle armor, the turret is a welded turret, and the driver's seat is retained to resemble the M1A2 tank, that is, the driver's upper body is tilted back 35°. The mystery of this driver's seat is that as long as the driver presses the control handle next to the driver's seat, the driver's seat immediately turns forward at a certain angle, so that the driver is basically in a vertical sitting position, and the driver's head is raised about 200 mm.
In addition, during the design process, space was reserved for the installation of modular three-proof devices on the tank. As long as you step on the new armored security door improved by light tanks, the safety door will fall to the ground and open with a "pop". A dozer blade can be installed in front of the car.
The low body, with an engine of more than eight hundred horsepower, is able to increase the travel speed of this land steel behemoth, which weighs more than sixty tons, to 65 kilometers per hour. This is not much slower than many light tank destroyers.
Advanced thermal imaging sighting device and gun sight stabilization device allow this steel behemoth to quickly attack local targets even at high speeds. Countless high-tech electronic devices have created the Apocalypse Tank to be invincible for at least the next two decades.
In particular, high-speed mobile shooting, which was in the tanks of the second line and even before the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century. It's a kind of scientific and technological indicator that can't be completed. And at this time. The Apocalypse Tank has such an ability, and the strength of the Red Alert base is once again reflected in this uncrowned king of the land.
And the Rhino tank, which is also a Red Alert unit, does not have such electronic equipment. After all, building one Apocalypse tank is equivalent to building four rhinos, but the performance of the rhinoceros is not weaker than China's own King Tiger tank. And even in many ways far beyond the King Tiger tank.
Apocalypse tank. The cost in the Red Guard base is 3,000 gold coins. In terms of ore recycling, the cost of the Apocalypse Tank at this price is much higher than that of the King Tiger Tank. And there is also a need for equipment of scale. Chen Shao has actually been gritting his teeth all the time. Because in the Red Police base, it only costs 5,000 gold coins to build an aircraft carrier, and 3,000 gold coins to build a tank, which requires Chen Shao to have enough determination.
Even if an aircraft carrier comes down, plus supporting warships and various logistics facilities, hundreds of Apocalypse will be blown up. However, taking into account the cost-effectiveness ratio, Chen Shao can only produce two rhinos when he produces one Apocalypse, so that the two can form a high and low match, after all, the rhinoceros is also a very advanced tank, enough to gallop all over the world.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Huang Wei at this time, in this opinion, a treasure like Tianqi will not be too much if there are hundreds of thousands of more vehicles. Because he already loved this tank to death.
The battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke had already made the sky a little dark.
On the ground, it can be seen that more than 300 tanks are lined up in an offensive line several kilometers long, rapidly advancing towards the east. Behind the tanks were infantry fighting vehicles one after another, and in the rear were self-propelled artillery units providing fire support.
The ground left traces of crawlers that had been crushed, crisscrossing and criss-crossing.
The gunfire and artillery fire did not stop for a moment. Everywhere the torrent of tanks crossed, you can see everywhere that has burned and scrapped, burning fires, and already looks down on what type of tank this is. The only thing that can prove the identity of the seven is that these tanks that have been scrapped have barrels facing west. That is, these are the tanks of the Allies.
Suddenly, more than a dozen shells exploded on the path of the tanks, and by the time the smoke of the explosion had not yet cleared, the tanks had already rushed out of the smoke. I have no fear of the explosion that has just exploded.
However, in the self-propelled artillery units in the back, the radar has already shone on the artillery firing source, and when these guns are ejected, the radar of the self-propelled artillery unit has already discovered the location of their appearance. Subsequently, more than a dozen 155-mm self-propelled howitzers stopped, and under the command of the radar vehicle, they again raised their barrels and aimed at the enemy artillery positions twenty or thirty kilometers away.
Several times the Allied artillery, which was still dying and struggling, soon all fell silent.
Ahead, just as the smoke screen of the shelling gradually dissipated, many figures rose from the ground on the snow in front of the tank. A lot of armored vehicles and tanks also suddenly sprang up in the snow. These things are hidden in dug pits, and then a slope is left on which they are covered with camouflage nets. When the Rapid Reaction Brigade attacked here, these little devils couldn't sit still.
Many of the little devil soldiers also revealed their true colors. These little devil soldiers are sturdy and murderous, like a pack of mad dogs who want to choose people to eat. Their helmets still have their signature diapers hanging from the back.
One of the great advantages of the pigs is that they like to imitate, like to copy other people's things, in the Tang Dynasty they imitated the Tang Dynasty like monkeys, copying the laws of the Tang Dynasty almost word for word, architecture, clothing, and writing...... All of them are copied correctly, and the little devil culture can be regarded as the fossil of Tang civilization.
In modern times, they have meticulously imitated the West, and they have imitated it quite successfully, but they don't know how many things they have created themselves.
One of the armored vehicles accompanied the infantry attack and did not open fire. It's useless to open fire, just this chain cannon is not enough to tickle the Apocalypse tank. Now it is better for armored vehicles to pray that the main gun of the Apocalypse tank has failed, otherwise a casual shot, even if it is a trainer shell, will be enough for them to go back to the factory for overhaul.
Huang Wei glanced at the armored car, muttered a curse, and replaced it with a special magazine. This magazine of 28 rounds is more expensive than the entire rifle, and it is full of special bullets, silver bullets for soft targets, tungsten steel armor-piercing and manganese steel armor-piercing bullets for armored vehicles, steel-core bullets for body armor, and incendiary bullets...... The whole nine yards.
Now Huang Wei aimed at the armored car, used the thermal imager to lock the driver through a layer of armor, and waited for the armored car to drive only 300 meters away from them. Several special bullets, which were so expensive that they scared people to death, were fired in a line, chiseled sparks on the armor of the armored vehicle, and disappeared. The armored car suddenly slammed into a drunken slump and almost ran over a little devil soldier. (To be continued......)
