Chapter 289: Across the Mountain
As the saying goes, the best defense is offense! This sentence could not be more appropriate in tank combat!
The tank was not a defensive weapon since it was created before World War I. Attacking is the nature of this armored monster.
And in fact, it is true, in the real world, no matter what the battle, as long as there is a tank, this weapon of war gives people the feeling that it is always advancing unremittingly offensively, and few commanders will let the tank be used for defense, even if it is dead, the muzzle of the tank must be aimed at the enemy!
In space, the battle between tanks still follows the nature of tanks, that is, attack. However, the attack is not a blind attack, and it is not a stupid rush that cares about the head! Tank combat should pay attention to coordination, strategy, and how to attack according to the combat environment!
As for defense, it is still very important in tank combat in space, but the defense of tanks is not like building trenches and building pillboxes like army soldiers, relying on fortifications to defend. The defense of the tank is a kind of defense within an offense, which relies on the offense to achieve the defensive intent.
It is known that tank combat needs space, and only when there is enough space can the characteristics of the tank itself be brought into play, so the defense in tank combat is more of a struggle for space control. A battlefield has so much space, and by controlling key areas, you can gain more space for your own tanks. Therefore, tank warfare, offense is actually a kind of defense, as for what kind of tank combat method of shrinking at home and not moving, black guns and black to death, it is definitely a suicidal act. Because if you don't take the initiative to attack, you have to fight for control of key positions. If you just huddle at home and defend, then it is equivalent to handing over control of the space to the other party, which may cause damage to the enemy's tank that lights up in front of you, but the final result is definitely to lose the battle!
Of course, in addition to the kind of fighting skills that are extremely awesome ~ forceful, and catch up with the main character explosion, you may be able to win the most victorious victory in the turtle defense, but that situation is a special situation, and it must not be seen with common sense! So, as long as it's a commander who isn't brainless. There will always be a battle at the beginning of the battle for those key positions on the battlefield. Take it down. The balance of victory will be tilted in your side, and if you can't take it, it means that your side has a crisis!
So, even though the enemy tanks saw the Leopard 1 prototype in dismal shape. However, the enemy commander still demanded that the group of heavy tanks that followed behind continue to ascend the mountain. Instead of hiding behind buildings and being passively defensive.
The enemy commander was clearly familiar with this map. So of course, he also knows how important the C2/C3 position of Lu Dao West Road is, as long as he takes this place, the victory is almost half of it. But if you can't take it off. You will face the opponent's condescending blow, whether the opponent squats on the black gun, or hits your own base at high speed along the hillside, it will bring great threats to your own western road.
So, after being continuously urged by the commander, the four heavy tanks behind began to move slowly.
When it comes to the map of the Sacred Valley, the West Lane is definitely the most crucial place, because whether you are born above or below, the West Lane is the best choice for attacking. Because in this map, the east road seems to be very suitable for attacking, but in fact, it is not, because there is no shelter at all in the east road except for the small permanent building complex in the southeast corner, which also makes the east road destined to be only a defensive route, as long as the commander is familiar with this map, he will not attack from the east road.
As for the middle road, the middle road is the central part of the basin, although it is densely covered with buildings, but those buildings are not permanent buildings, the tanks will fall apart when they touch it, and the terrain of the middle road is lower than all around, once the tanks entering the central basin are exposed, they will immediately be hit from all directions, and at that time, it may be too late to run.
The West Road, because of the shelter of the central village and town buildings, and the fact that there are many hillsides on the mountain road, makes the West Road a natural offensive channel, and no matter which side of the warring parties are, they will use this route as an offensive route. Because of the complex terrain of this route and the small chance of being attacked by self-propelled guns, if the attacker receives fire, it is more important to see the tank commander's skill in handling the tank.
Take this battle as an example, as long as the enemy's heavy tank cluster first captures the uphill C2/C3 section and enters the B-line mountain road, then the B-line mountain road will offset the defensive firepower of Chen Mo's side because of its complex terrain, and it is difficult for self-propelled artillery to attack the enemy tanks on the B-line mountain road, and the anti-tank has very few artillery positions to support because of the large ups and downs and big corners of the B-line mountain road, so as long as the enemy tank attacks C2/C3 and enters the B-line road, then Chen Mo's side will be in no danger to defend!
Similarly, once Chen Mo controls the most critical C2/C3 area, then it is definitely offensive and defensible on the spot! If you attack, although the tanks will be exposed to the enemy's anti-tank guns at home on the way down the mountain, this section of the road is very short, and it is a big downhill, as long as you can rush through this road, then you will enter the town below, relying on the buildings in the town to resist the enemy's fire, once the heavy tank cluster enters the town, then following behind two anti-tanks, it is enough to knock out the enemy's defense at home! Moreover, the heavy tank cluster can also rely on its own ability to resist attacks and raid into the enemy's core area, thus completely disrupting the enemy's strategic arrangement.
Therefore, the C2/C3 area of the west road is a key position that both sides must capture with heavy troops!
However, the enemy commander obviously did not expect that Chen Mo's anti-tank arrangement at F7 would be able to support this position, so he did not arrange two or three tanks to encircle and suppress F7 located on the north side of the mountain peak in the basin. If Chen Mo was born below, Chen Mo would definitely fight to consume one or two tanks, and he would also make the F7 position not squat on the tank.
Because the western road is actually beneficial to the enemy's attack, and the own side is in a disadvantageous position when defending the western road, if there is no F7 anti-tank existence, then it should not be very difficult for the enemy to break through the C2/C3 position. But because Chen Mo was too familiar with this map, he arranged a heavy tank destroyer at the F7 position, which changed the situation that the West Road should have been relatively passive in one fell swoop! It is no exaggeration to say that General Zhao Yun's Tiger Hunting Car is actually the most critical factor in this battle.
Therefore, if the enemy's commander is replaced by Chen Mo, Chen Mo will definitely fight the tank in the position of F7! But it's a pity that the enemy's commander didn't know that there was a position of F7 in the road, or even if he knew the road, I am afraid he didn't take it so seriously, so the enemy commander only arranged a mid-range seventh-level light tank WZ131 and a mid-range ninth-level mid-tank WZ120 to explore the way in front of the middle road.
Therefore, although these two cars lit up the T54E1 in front of the Tiger Hunter, because the baby's ninth-level Zhongtan was out of the front, he was in the F6 position, and there was still a distance of more than 50 meters from General Zhao Yun's Tiger Hunter, and there was a foot of the mountain between the two of them, so the general Zhao Yun who was squatting behind was not lit.
And the baby's T54E1 has a very high field of vision, and it is also a well-known shuttle cannon, so even if the WZ131 and WZ120 two cars come together, they are not willing to risk the danger to provoke the T54E1, which is carrying the shuttle cannon! Although the two of them knew that it must be T54E1 who would die in the end, the two of them would definitely pay a huge price!
And obviously, the T54E1 is a reconnaissance at all, and there must be heavy fire support behind him, and once it is attacked, then the heavy fire from the rear will definitely be angry!
Forget it, anyway, the commander only asked to light the lights in front of the middle lane, since people have been prepared, it is better to honestly get stuck at the foot of the mountain and light the lights, but it is easy to die when rushing! And halfway up the G6 in the back, one of the teammate's anti-tanks is squatting there, and needs to protect itself in front, if you attack rashly, once you are killed, the anti-tank behind will be dangerous!
It was the WZ131 and WZ120 with this idea that did not risk rushing forward, and the result was cheap General Zhao Yun, because attacking the enemy tanks attacking the C2/C3 area from the position of F7, and it was also a slow-moving heavy tank, so it was definitely not too comfortable!
In the map of the Sacred Valley, the mountain in the central basin is actually a very critical location, Chen Mo, who was born above, can arrange a hunting tiger to the F7 card position on the north side of the mountain, then the G6 position on the other side of the mountain, that is, halfway up the mountainside on the south side of the mountain, is also a good location for anti-tank squatting. These two locations are actually across the mountain.
Unless the tanks on Chen Mo's side enter the town, otherwise, as long as only the tanks on the west road are moving, then they will definitely be hit hard by the anti-tanks squatting at this point.
Of course, Chen Mo knew the location of the G6 halfway up the mountain, so when he saw that the enemy was stuck at the foot of the mountain in front of a light tank and a middle tank, he naturally thought that these two express cars were to protect the anti-tank squatting behind. However, at this time, even if Chen Mo knew that there was an enemy anti-tank at the G6 position, he would not be able to do anything about that anti-tank now, and could only tell his teammates on the radio to pay attention to the fire strike at that position!
However, Chen Mo is not worried about the anti-tank, although he doesn't know what model of the anti-tank is in the road, but Chen Mo knows that as long as he takes control of the C2/C3 area and then attacks the west road, then the enemy's anti-tank will definitely only be able to fire one shot, because Chen Mo has long planned that once the west road attacks, the slow heavy tank will directly enter the town!
And once the west road is raided, then with the attack of the west road, the middle road will definitely take action, and if the baby's car is injured, the enemy anti-tank must be lit up, so that he can't squat from there with peace of mind! (To be continued......)
