Chapter 1111: Defeating the Enemy

"Crunch! Crunch! "Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles rushed towards the US military defense line, their tracks pressed on the ground, making a sound that made people feel a little sore. At the forefront is still the TB' Cheetah, a medium tank. In yesterday's battle, although many TB' Cheetahs and tanks were also destroyed, it at least proved that the TB' Cheetah, the tank's frontal armor, was able to resist the bombardment of US anti-tank guns. And, at a distance of two hundred meters, the anti-tank guns of the US army could not destroy the tank as long as it did not hit the TB 'Cheetah, the side of the medium tank behind the latter. And the TB' Cheetah, the tank is able to strike at the anti-tank fire points of the US army at this distance.

Behind the TB' Cheetah, a medium tank, was a battalion of TP' Wolves, light tanks. 'Wolf, the frontal armor of the light tank is only 25 mm, and at a distance of 200 meters, once it is hit by the anti-tank guns of the US army, there is only a dead end. Therefore, according to the strategy of the armored brigade of the 2nd Group Army of the Chinese Army, these 'wild wolves and light tanks will attack the US anti-tank fire points with the 37 mm tank guns on the tanks at a distance of 300 to 400 meters from the US army's position. After entering a distance of 500 meters from the US troops, the armored vehicles that follow the tanks will stop advancing and attack the US troops in the position with the 127 mm large-caliber heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles to provide fire cover for the troops in front.

In addition, the 14th Regiment of the 141st Infantry Division of the Army fought with armored units. Once the armored units have cleared the U.S. anti-tank fire points and entered the U.S. positions, they will follow behind the tanks to clear the U.S. forces from the positions. In addition, the 2nd Army also prepared hundreds of trucks, and when the armored forces suppressed the American troops, they immediately filled in the anti-tank trenches dug by the American troops and paved the way for the tank troops to advance. After all, the anti-tank trenches of the US army are not capable of being crossed by tanks equipped with the Chinese army now. However, there are not many gaps left between each section of anti-tank trenches, and many anti-tank fire points are deployed in the back, and trying to clear these gaps will inevitably become the target of the US military's key attacks. Tong guò filled the anti-tank trenches of the American army, which was undoubtedly much safer.

"General, the armored forces of the Chinese are dispatched again." At the U.S. Army's front headquarters, Admiral Davis and Lieutenant General Cole were using binoculars to observe the movement of the front line.

"Great! Order the anti-tank units to get ready, be sure to destroy all the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese! Admiral Davis ordered. He was now very excited, and seemed to have seen the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese Army's armored units turn into piles of scrap metal under the blow of the US army's anti-tank fire.

"Are the generals going to carry out artillery bombardments?" Lieutenant General Cole asked. In yesterday's battle, the US army's hidden heavy artillery unit also came in handy, although it did not achieve much success, but it broke up the formation of the Chinese armored units, and finally became the target of torture and killing by the US anti-tank units.

"Forget it, not for the time being!" Admiral Davis shook his head, he glanced at the fighters of the Chinese Air Force hovering in the sky, and finally decided not to use the artillery for the time being. Once the artillery is fired, it will definitely become a target for the Chinese Air Force. Since the anti-tank forces can deal with the armored forces of the Chinese, there is no need for the artillery to pay unnecessary losses. However, the hundreds of fighters hovering in the sky still made Admiral Davis secretly resentful in his heart, if it were not for the Chinese Air Force using tricks to blow up all the nearly 200 fighters of the US Army Air Corps on the airport, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force would not have been so arrogant now.

Half an hour later, the armored units of the 2nd Army of the Chinese Army were already approaching the American lines. However, at a distance of about 300 meters from the U.S. line, all the TP' wolves, light tanks, and 24-wheeled armored vehicles stopped and began to fire at the U.S. positions with tank guns and machine guns mounted on tanks and armored vehicles.

"What's going on? How did those light tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese stop? Admiral Davis asked in surprise. The distance of 300 meters is exactly the maximum effective range of the 37-mm anti-tank guns of the US army. It's just that at this distance, the power of the armor-piercing projectile is very limited, and it can't penetrate the TP' wolf of the Chinese army's armored forces, the armor of light tanks, and even the damage caused to 74-wheeled armored vehicles is very limited, so this distance is a safe distance for light tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the Chinese army.

"General, what should I do? If the armored forces of the Chinese do not continue to advance, then our anti-tank forces will not be able to threaten them! Lieutenant General Cole also said with some concern. They personally rushed to the front-line headquarters just to see the shocking scene of the American anti-tank units destroying the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese. But now, the armored forces of the Chinese seem to be fooled!

Admiral Davis did not speak, and this abnormal behavior of the armored forces of the Chinese Army suddenly gave him a very bad feeling in his heart. That is, the anti-tank forces that he relied on before are afraid of losses. And once the anti-tank forces cannot withstand the armored forces of the Chinese army, it is completely impossible for the US military to hold the defensive line.

"Boom!" A TP' Wolf, light tank aimed at one of the anti-tank fire points of the American army. This point of anti-tank fire was shelled by 37-mm tank guns on tanks. The shells accurately hit this anti-tank fire point, but when the smoke cleared, it was found that the anti-tank fire point had not been destroyed. The 37-mm tank gun was still a little less powerful and did not penetrate this reinforced concrete anti-tank fire point. Other TP' Wolves, light tanks, after firing, also found out about this problem. They then shifted their focus and attacked the American infantry with anti-tank guns, which had no strong defenses. In addition, some heavy machine gun fire points of the US army are also the targets of these TP' wolves, light tanks.

The 2nd Army's other dozens of TB' Cheetahs and light tanks continued to advance, but when they reached a position of 200 meters from the American line, they stopped. And at this distance, the bombardment of the anti-tank fire points of the American army with 57-mm tank guns began. The U.S. Army's anti-tank fire points were able to withstand the 37mm guns of the TP' Wolves, light tanks, but not the 57mm guns of the TB' Cheetah, medium tanks. At this distance, the trained tankmen were almost accurate one by one, and the anti-tank fire points of the US army were destroyed one by one. Despite the fact that the anti-tank units of the US army also launched a counterattack, at this distance, the US 37-mm anti-tank guns simply could not penetrate the frontal armor of the TB' Gepard, a medium tank. Although the huge impact force made the soldiers inside the tank very uncomfortable and even injured, it did not hurt their lives. Occasionally, there was the less fortunate TB' Cheetah, where the medium tank was destroyed by shells flying from the side that pierced through the side armor. But in general, this loss is also quite acceptable.

"Boom!" One of the anti-tank fire points of the US army was hit, and the armor-piercing shell instantly penetrated the sandbags outside the fire point, and then penetrated the protective layer of reinforced concrete poured inside, exploding inside, killing all the American soldiers inside, and the anti-tank gun was also destroyed.

"Boom!" The fighters of the Chinese Air Force, which had been circling in the sky, also began to attack, and one after another FH5' Falcon and dive bombers began to dive bomb the anti-tank fire points of the US military. Amid a sharp and piercing whistle, the US anti-tank fire points were blown up into the sky one by one. An aerial bomb weighing 500 kilograms was capable of blowing up the US anti-tank fire point, leaving a huge crater on the position, and the personnel inside were blown to pieces, and the anti-tank gun was blown into parts.

Originally, in yesterday's battle, the US army lost almost half of its anti-tank guns, which made the US army's anti-tank firepower weaken a lot. Originally, the US military thought that they had inflicted heavy damage on the armored forces of the Chinese Army yesterday, and today they can effectively defeat the Chinese armored forces with the remaining anti-tank weapons. However, they never imagined that today, the armored forces of the Chinese Army will change their fighting style.

The light tanks and wheeled armored vehicles had been firing at a distance of 300 meters, attacking some of the machine-gun fire points of the American army, as well as the soldiers who operated the anti-tank guns. And the anti-tank weapons of the US army cannot pose a threat to armored targets at this distance at all. As for those medium-sized tanks with rough skin and thick flesh, at a distance of two hundred meters, the anti-tank guns of the US army were also powerless. The US army's PK1 anti-tank gun has a caliber of only 37 mm, and the weight of the armor-piercing projectile is only 0.6 attacks, and the effective range is only 300 meters. However, at this distance, it is only possible to penetrate about a steel plate of about a kok millimeter. At a distance of 200 meters, it is only possible to penetrate 30 mm of steel plates, and only within 100 meters can it penetrate 50 mm of steel plates, posing a mortal threat to the medium tanks of the Chinese Army!
