Chapter 366: Tank Battalion (2)

Yu Weichao's favorite policy research room has been expanded again. 【Reading.com】

In addition to carrying out serious and boring legislation for the natives of Mara, their main job was staff work - such as how much food the indigenous army would need to carry for 40 kilometers, and how much fuel and ammunition would be needed for the armored troops to carry out a siege around the city...... Calculate and estimate before you go......

Actions within a radius of 40 kilometers may seem complicated, but in fact they are simple, and if the calculations are wrong, which is a common occurrence, then there is no need to panic, an armored vehicle parked on the side of the road or without ammunition is not fatal. It didn't matter if the soldiers ate two less meals and a little more ròu - the natives were hard-working and hard-working, like poor middle peasants. And the "Jiangning people" have long been accustomed to carrying chocolate and 54 pistols, and some also carry automatic rifles......

Such low requirements also provide a good platform for training the "staff officers", at least in recent times, the soldiers have rarely been hungry continuously.

The ring road has become safe, like the self-reserved land of the Xijiang Water Village. If not, the Senate of Malla City would not have had to go to great lengths to convince Sir Cardwell to ban the slave trade—the prohibition of the use of slaves and machinery in the construction of the Ring Road, which was a euphemism.

Most of the elders of Marat City, although worried, still believed that sane people would not start a war at such a time, especially if they occupied a city-state - this kind of behavior affecting the temple war had a great chance of retaliation, and once a million troops appeared from the foothills, those tall earth dragoons and bird cavalry would easily overwhelm the Jiangning people's defenses......

Because of this, although the nobles of Mara City were seriously defending the city, they were far more concerned about the surrounding environment, and some even proposed to weaken the city's defenses and strengthen the defenses outside the city......

But on this day, any bizarre talk loses its market.

A large number of Jiangning people and their "heavily armored mounts" appeared outside the city, making a rumbling sound.

Vlakimi, of the Second Heavy Cavalry Regiment of Fighting Skills, stood on the sacrificial tower in the middle of the city and looked into the distance, and said with a trembling heart: "It is heavier than their previous heavy cavalry." ”

Standing next to him was the speaker of the Senate Gazayah, who was wearing a big knight's gown dragged to the ground, a gorgeous mess, and asked in a cold voice: "Sir, what do you mean?" ”

The commander of the cavalry, Vladimi, said like a treasure: "In the words of the Jiangning people." They had two-wheeled motorcycles, small four-wheeled Humvees, I don't know what they were, open-top or linen-wrapped trucks, and finally armored vehicles. ”

He paused for a moment, looked at the senate nobles standing behind the speaker, shook his head secretly, and said, "According to our intelligence, they only use two-wheeled motorcycles in the Xijiang Water Village, which should be a pure transportation mount; The four-wheeled trucks, five or seven of which we had killed, were fragile, and they were the pack mounts they used for their baggage. The small four-wheeled Humvee is not small, it may be their light cavalry, and the armored vehicles coming from behind are like their heavy cavalry...... But now ......"

He pointed to the tank car below and said, "Look at the marks on the ground, this thing is heavier than the armored car, so this is their heavy cavalry, and their combat effectiveness has increased." ”

Vladimi's words caused a stir.

The generals were silent with cold faces, and they were full of pessimism about the future. The civilian aristocracy and hereditary senators were not really on the battlefield, so there was general optimism.

"Didn't we eliminate a couple of their armored vehicles? Their heavy cavalry must be very valuable, and now they dare not come close. ”

"In my opinion, their heavy javelinmen are great, didn't Tucker die on their javelins?"

"It's called a missile, and the intelligence has already arrived."

"We have drake cavalry, look at the mark below, the imprint of their armored vehicle is not as deep as our dragoon cavalry, it is the current heavy cavalry, no matter what it is called, that is, the level of the dragoon cavalry, the charge of a heavy regiment can destroy them."

"The dragon beast cavalry can't be mobilized, I didn't hear from the big knight of the heavy regiment, the temple war is about to begin."

"The temple should be requested."

"Let's wait until the war is over."

"In my opinion, concentrating the archers and destroying their heavy javelinmen is the right way, without which their cavalry would not dare to approach the walls."

"Didn't you say that by smashing the hooves of those armored vehicles, you could destroy them? I looked at the hooves, and they were very crisp ......."

"Their revenge is a bit troublesome, the manor outside is empty, right?"

"To guard against terrorist attacks in the city, some untouchables have listened to them and are making trouble."

Vladimi had long been disillusioned with these nobles. They were either outdated or simply made up lies, and some of them were even fabricated by him and spread throughout the city to dispel the panic......

Except for the first few days of the Ring Road Station, the fighting knights of the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Regiments, plus several heavy infantry regiments gathered together to destroy a few armored vehicles, the rest of the time of the sortie, the losses were getting bigger and bigger.

To this day, no knight dares to appear in the city, and most of the specially made javelins are blindly thrown.

Vlakimi thought to himself: Those missiles, the soldiers who use them are probably novices, this is normal, it looks like a very expensive thing, and naturally he is reluctant to pay for training. However, their heavy javelinmen were getting more and more accurate.

"Their heavy cart turned around." The lookout reported loudly, his voice gradually changing to frightened: "Their turret, they have turret, the turret turns. ”

There are also ballistae in the Western Continent, and in the core of the Temple War, the "Panlin" fortress, 3,300 ballistas made of steel are formidable, and their power is so great that they can kill all temple knights close to the city wall, and no fighting spirit is useless.

The other nobles probably thought of this, and said worriedly: "Such a thick cannon should be slower." ”

"Definitely." Everyone began to comfort each other.

"Be on guard." Speaker Gasayah ordered again.

Machine guns could not penetrate the city walls, or even cause large-scale destruction, so although the nobles of Mara City were frightened, they were not so afraid when they stood behind the walls.

The Type 59 100mm rifled gun was not as light as a double-heavy machine gun.

After a silent 1 minute of waiting, the artillery fire still did not arrive.

Because the gunner in the tank is moving, ranging, aiming, and loading...... Adjust position, re-aim, re-range......

There is no way, Jiangning did not have a tank division, and the soldiers, including the special forces, did not fire even a single shot until they retired, and all their training was carried out without ammunition. So not to mention the technique of short-stop shè hitting, it is to gather fire in unison, and the veterans have to coordinate for a long time...... It's all because of the "tank jelly" that Chen Yi gave them to eat, so they have the capital to play pào slowly.

It's been a long time!

After about 15 minutes, Hu Yang wiped the sweat on his head, picked up the wireless telephone microphone, and ordered: "Fire ready, 5, 4, 3 ......."

At the moment of the exit of the "1", an orange fire ball lit up a few meters in front of the 4 tanks, which was the fireworks of the main gun!

The body vibrated so violently that the commander had to hold on to something around him.

The rush lasted 10 minutes, and 100 shells were fired, an average of 2.5 rounds per minute per car, far below the maximum standard of 7 minutes per shot, and the effect was far above the expectations of the nobles of Marat.

The opposite wall collapsed at least a 50-meter-wide ruined wall, which could have caused huge damage if it had been impacted.

Hu Yang was also dumbfounded, and asked by radio: "Captain, do you want to continue the shelling?" ”

The wheeled armored vehicles that jumped behind were also stupid, and their task was to blow up the eastern walls of the city of Mara by placing 1 ton of high explosives under the cover of artillery bombardment.

Now that the walls have fallen, where will they be placed?

Sun Ruihe, who was in charge of the command, didn't have time to ask Chen Yi for instructions, and ordered on the spot: "The barrel of the cannon is cooled down for 5 minutes, and the shelling will be restarted." ”

"Yes." After Hu Yang finished answering, he said embarrassedly: "The brothers were happy to fight just now, and there are only 10 shells left in each car." ”

One base shell of the Type 59 is 34 rounds, and a few more rounds were specially prepared before going out, but it could not withstand this kind of firing of tank guns as artillery.

"Shelling 5 minutes later. First hit five ways quickly, and then one shot per minute, covering the armored car. Sun Ruihe spoke again.

Hu Yang didn't care, just stood under the ventilation fan, blowing the wind desperately, and almost screamed out. Because there was a heroic tank in those days, and when it could not turn on the ventilation fan, it insisted on fighting for two days and nights and destroyed 10 enemy tanks, so there were traditional armored units that required training soldiers in the "skills" of fighting without turning on the ventilation fan...... Very beautiful formalism, tortured soldiers to the toes.

A minute later, the armored vehicle also received information that the site of the planned explosion had moved 500 meters north.

"Ready." The seven people in the armored car were all trainees from the 10th term, and the task of the four people led by Li Feng was to get out of the car and place high explosives.

According to the plan of the so-called Policy Research Chamber, the person who carries out this task can be indigenous or Mexican. But it was vetoed by Chen Yi.

The cadets who did not even dare to get out of the car were incapable of suppressing the indigenous and Mexican, and he demanded that the cadet troops must be the bravest, not indigenous or Mexican.

Li Feng asked for the execution.

Just like Chen Yi said, his apprentice must also be the bravest student, so that he can suppress the other students.

The shelling of 4 tanks began as scheduled, and 12 heavy machine guns and 5 machine guns were fired at the same time. The entire eastern city wall is like a New Year's holiday, flashing clusters of white sè smoke and orange sè fire. The sound arrived a little later, and it was connected into a huge làng that was impermeable.

Twenty Milanese anti-tank missiles are eyeing each other, each with an observer next to them - the three inspection teams and the indigenous companies of Xijiang Shuizhai are not equipped with snipers so far, and the only unit that looks like snipers is the Hunter Village Tree Sentry Platoon, which uses selected automatic rifles. Whether it's against thick-skinned cavalry, heavy infantry, or brawny Temple knights, accurate sniper rifles are not as good as 12.7mm heavy machine guns.

"Let's go." Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on a high explosive larger than the Eight Immortals' table and ordered.
