Chapter 619 Tank Battle
The tanks of the advance army in pursuit of the advance army left the T33 fleeing in a hurry one by one, and in the pursuit, they forgot the distance from the enemy, forgot that the large army was still behind, and the roaring explosion and the blooming of fireworks made Xue Kui, the captain of the first brigade, forget everything except shouting to the gunner to load and open the cannon.
As the tanks were left behind, there were fewer and fewer Russian tanks that fled, and in less than ten minutes, there were only thirty or fifty left.
At this time, the reconnaissance plane that followed also saw the tank group in front of it, so it shouted: "The enemy's tank group two thousand meters ahead!" ”
Xue Kui woke up abruptly in this voice, he didn't have time to climb out of the tank to observe, and directly ordered: "Stop the pursuit and retreat at full speed!" ”
The chasing tanks braked sharply at the captain's shouts, and the tank's speed dropped sharply, quickly opening up a distance from the fleeing tank.
But at this time, it was already a little late, less than two thousand meters away, the Russian tank artillery vehicles were already able to reach them, in the two or three seconds after Xue Kui's order was issued, the tank had not completely stopped, and a ball of fire appeared in the distance, and then, one after another shells whistled and pounced.
"Hurry back!!"
Xue Kui hissed and roared.
But it was all a little late, the flight of the shells was completed in the shouting, and then, with a loud bang, the T62s were hit by the shells, which were directly shattered, igniting a skyrocketing fire.
The tank artillery carriage is aimed directly, and the shells fly more than a thousand meters without losing too much altitude, resulting in a very high accuracy rate, and in a salvo, hundreds of tanks are hit and caught fire, or the white shells blow up the chain rails and are paralyzed there. The tankmen in the tank were covered in blood one by one, and they climbed out of the tank with difficulty.
Xue Kui's eyes cracked and roared, but he couldn't stop those tanks from being blown up. In just a few seconds, his brigade lost a third, only more than two hundred, and in the second round of shelling, quickly retreated and escaped the distance of the shelling.
Yu Lei is arranging for a tank army to charge. The self-propelled artillery moved forward and was about to be erected, when it suddenly heard a report from a reconnaissance plane that the enemy's tank artillery vehicles were extremely powerful, and as long as they hit one cannon at a time, few of them were spared.
"Xue Kui!! Lao Tzu killed you!! ”
Yu Lei yelled in distress and ordered: "The helicopter is attacking, and the self-propelled artillery is approaching." The second brigade and the third brigade are frontally protected, the fourth brigade and the fifth brigade are outflanked on the left flank, and the 789th brigade is outflanked on the right flank, and one is not allowed to let go, and the battle will end within 20 minutes! ”
"Yes!"
A neat roar came from the headset.
Immediately, fifty attack planes suddenly accelerated and rushed straight ahead. Self-propelled guns also quickly protruded, in the diversion of left and right tanks. Accelerating forward, infantry vehicles followed. The trucks carrying the shells also quickly followed, and in the way the tanks in front of them, rushed to the front.
Serokov was very excited about the destruction of hundreds of enemy tanks in just one round of shelling. Although the defense of this weapon against the tank is weak, and the anti-aircraft machine gun can easily tear through its armor, the power is absolutely first-class. Against tanks, one cannon at a time, an absolute killer.
At this moment, his confidence doubled, and the frustration that he had just lost more than 200 bright tanks disappeared in an instant.
But his excited thoughts hadn't fallen yet. A dark cloud appeared in the sky, but it startled him in the twilight.
"Enemy planes! Anti-aircraft readiness !! ”
His shout made a tall Depp erect, but the anti-aircraft artillery did not, and the anti-aircraft machine gun was not mounted, and they did not expect that the melee was about to be, and the enemy would have an air strike.
Tom tom tom ......
Balls of light flew in the sky, and the attack planes began to shoot at a distance of kilometers.
The tongue of fire ran and the machine gun started at the same time, and the three tongues of fire gushed in front of the plane, and the bullet chain quickly ploughed through the ground ravine, and in the continuous bombardment explosion, it pounced into the tank group and the tank gun group.
The power of the Vulcan cannon easily tore through the armor of the tank artillery vehicle, not to mention the machine gun, even the tank could not stop it, and the tank artillery vehicle could naturally be blown up with a single shell.
The loud roar continued to sound with the rapidly passing planes, and the tank artillery trucks burst into flames, and the tanks rose into thick smoke.
Depp roared, but the bullet chain could not reach the plane that was rushing in the sky for four or five hundred meters, and he followed the plane in vain, chasing the figure that quickly rose into the air.
With a round of blows, the helicopter plunged into the sky and turned back, leaving behind a slippery torch and a slippery cloud of smoke.
In one round, 50 helicopters had to destroy at least three or four hundred tanks and tank artillery vehicles, and their own losses were zero, which can be said to be a complete victory. If it weren't for the scruples of the underground planes, and the shells of the machine guns and the Vulcan guns, fifty helicopters would not have been able to leave all these tanks and tank artillery vehicles behind, but most of them would have been a big problem.
But they are alone in the depths, and the attack aircraft also have to shoulder the task of air defense, and ammunition cannot be replaced, only they can carry it themselves, so they can save as much as possible.
Even so, the destructive power they caused was enough to make Serokov and others fearful. Tanks, is there no way to deal with such aircraft?
Where did they know that a round of attacks by these planes, and it was not yet over, just to make them wait for a while, not to attack, and to put the self-propelled artillery mounts on this side.
Short-term panic, saving people, extinguishing fires, and preparing to meet the incoming enemy are still the top priorities. But after this, anti-aircraft machine guns were erected one after another, and Depp was also intensively erected, ready for another air attack.
In their busyness, they did not wait for the helicopter attack, but the shells flying in the sky.
"Not good! It's an artillery attack!! ”
Serokov shouted and retracted the tank.
As he shouted, the cannonballs whistled and covered the sky, and hundreds of self-propelled guns fired in a volley, and the shells were black and oppressive.
The whistling of the shells was the moment they heard it, and the shells were already in front of them, and at the same time as Serokov closed the lid, they fell with a bang.
The loud roar continued in patches, and the flames immediately enveloped the front for several kilometers, and the tanks were torn apart with the explosion, and the tank artillery trucks were reduced to pieces, and only the cannon barrel flew into the sky with a loud noise, tumbling and falling elsewhere.
The artillery bombardment of the list immediately caused a great confusion among the tank groups and tank artillery trucks, and without any orders, they all started to leave this shelling area.
As soon as the shelling began, Yu Lei shouted: "Attack on all fronts!" ”
With the sound of artillery, the tank roared, emitted black smoke, and accelerated to the position in front.
Three thousand meters, for a tank, it will not take a few minutes, and in three or two minutes it can rush into the enemy group.
The shells continued to fall, and the fighters at the self-propelled artillery reloaded the shells as fast as they could, and after the second round of shelling, they quickly returned to the infantry vehicles, and then rushed up with the armored vehicles that rushed forward.
On the other side, in addition to tanks, there are also cavalry, and infantry, they can't fight tanks, but it's easy to deal with cavalry infantry.
The tanks that had made a hasty U-turn completely lost order in the explosion, and before they could completely retreat, the tanks of the advance army had already swooped down.
"Grass mud horse!!"
Xue Kui roared wildly and ordered the cannon to be fired.
His heart is like a knife, if he loses in frontal combat, he has nothing to say, chasing the enemy close to the enemy's position, this is his responsibility, he has to avenge the dead comrades, and he has to take responsibility for his mistakes.
His mind was full of nothing else, all about how to fight.
The bombardment chased the chaotic tank trucks and tanks, and the tanks were hit and paralyzed, and the artillery trucks were blown to pieces. The battlefield was obscured by smoke for just a few minutes, and in the twilight light, it was even darker.
Seeing the enemy rushing, the tanks of the Second Army turned back one after another, and with a roaring artillery bombardment, rushed towards the tanks of the advance army.
But this kind of center is no different from suicide, the shell falls on the T62's body, and it has no effect at all, but the opponent's shot, they will be blown up.
The gap is too big, although the number of tanks on both sides is not much different, the difference in firepower makes this tank battle a one-sided pursuit.
The warring sides were instantly mixed together, and the shadows of tanks everywhere and the observers had to be carefully identified in the periscope, otherwise, there was a danger of hitting their own people.
With a loud bang, two T33s stopped there and ignited a skyrocketing fire. Tank artillery trucks were reduced to smithereens.
The tank artillery truck was also desperate at this time, not caring that the shells would accidentally damage their own tanks, aiming at an enemy tank, and opening fire with a bang. As for dodging the shells, they didn't have the heart to think about it.
Their desperate efforts caused casualties among the tanks of the advance army, but the number of damage was not significant. The tanks of the advance army saw that these muzzles were matched with their own benefits, and they quickly turned and accelerated their galloping, so that these bulky cannons, in the case of visual locking and the front of the car being aimed at before they could fire, most of the shells did not know who they had hit.
Xue Kui went crazy looking for tanks on the battlefield, looking for those tank artillery trucks, one by one, quickly consuming shells.
The T62 could only carry twenty-eight shells, including high-explosive shells, not all of which were armor-piercing, and with such a rapid-fire method, there were only four shells left in his tank in less than fifteen minutes.
Boom, a shell landed on the side of his tank, and a huge mid-level wave almost overturned the traveling tank. Xue Kui's head broke in the shaking car, and the gunner and driver also lost their breath in the impact.
Xue Kui's head was dizzy, and when the tank bumped a few times and finally stopped, he shouted hard to fire, but he replied.
He crawled to the gun compartment and saw the gunner hit there with blood on his head, and he didn't have too much on his back, but struggled to bazaar for him.
But the moment his hand touched the carotid artery, he gave up the action of saving the artery, and the gunner was already sacrificed.
The same is true for the driver, although the tank was not blown up in the bombardment of this 150-caliber shell, Xue Kui was the only one left in this tank.
Xue Kui gave up the treatment, struggled to shake the muzzle, aimed straight from the barrel of the cannon, laboriously reloaded, and fired.
In the loud bang, he killed four tanks in a row, and he still finished firing the shells despite taking a few shots. (To be continued......)
