Chapter 185: The War Escalates

With the rumble of an engine, the attacker slowly revealed himself from the cover of the building.

"Tank!" Stallone's slightly trembling voice revealed the identity of the enemy, and at this moment, Hu Bin understood that the battle had completely escalated after that.

"Run, we're not completely out of it yet." Hu Bin was also a little panicked, no one expected that a city where there was only a group of paratroopers stationed would actually appear as a war weapon like a tank.

"I'm working on it." Stallone twisted the throttle vigorously, trying to make the bike under him run faster.

The M4 Sherman tank, which is the most classic main battle tank of the US army during World War II, although not as famous as the Soviet T-34, still has an important place in the history of tanks. And now chasing Hu Bin and Stallone is an M4A3 tank, as a classic improved Type 3 M4, its original 75mm caliber gun has been replaced with a more advanced 76mm caliber, which greatly strengthens its offensive ability, and is effortless against the armor of the German No. 3 and No. 4 tanks. The M4 series of tanks generally use a 500-horsepower gasoline engine, and the powerful engine and low dead weight allow its ultimate speed to reach about 45 miles, which is why Hu Bin's motorcycle has not been completely shaken off now.

But the M4 is not without its shortcomings, although the excessively high body and turret allow the tank to support the infantry with a better view, but it makes it easy to be hit by enemy anti-tank fire, the wide body does make the crew feel better, but its weak armor does not give the crew a high sense of security, the classic design of the American tank with thin skin and big stuffing is vividly reflected in it.

"Damn, I should have kept a rocket if I knew I should have left." At this time, the average thickness of the steel plate of M4A3 was only 50mm, which became the source of Hu Bin's despair, and all the weapons on his body could not cause any effective damage to this iron monster, and all he could do now was to escape.

But the M4's maneuverability was much better than Hu Bin had imagined, and the sherman had already adjusted the body before the locomotive had gone far. Let the main gun be aimed at the two.

"Leave it to me!" Stallone shouted and turned around, but saw the muzzle of the black hole hole aimed at him, and couldn't help but shudder, he didn't think that the military uniform skill on his body, which was said to be able to withstand three thermal weapon attacks a day, contained the armor-piercing bullet as a big killing weapon.

"You can't hit me, you can't hit me......" The locomotive shook the body sensitively under the control of Stallone, moving forward in an S-shaped route, and a cannonball grazed the edge of the locomotive and hit the street in front, making Stallone and Hu Bin both break out in a cold sweat, Stallone's prayers and emergency evasion still played a role, so that the two were not directly hit by the shell, but the explosion of the shell still affected the locomotive. Hu Bin's passenger seat was pushed up by the shock wave, and the locomotive drove diagonally forward for a distance as if performing acrobatics, and it took a while to resume normal driving.

"Hahaha......!" The two of them who survived the catastrophe laughed nervously, and Hu Bin defiantly replied to the M4 shuttle submachine gun bullet, and then raised a middle finger behind him, they had already taken advantage of this time to open a short distance, and they were about to escape the pursuit.

The occupants of the tank seemed to be enraged by the actions of the two, and the engine of the M4 roared again, and the speed of the tank increased considerably. Completely ignoring the obstacles on the street, they went on a rampage and chased after the locomotive, and the on-board machine gun fired a barrage of bullets, causing the two to hurriedly lean down to avoid it.

After a "bang". After the M4 finished reloading, Stallone, who was counting the time, hurriedly made a left-right evasion move again, trying to affect its aiming, delaying a little more time for the two to open up the distance. But this time. The gunner in the tank opened fire with anger and without the slightest hesitation.

The shell hit the rear of the motorcycle less than half a meter, and still did not hit the motorcycle. But the luck of the two came to an end. I saw that the motorcycle was pushed up by the aftermath, and the back wheel made an ominous sound after falling suddenly, and then broke away from the axle and ran away mischievously.

Stallone, who couldn't hold the balance of the locomotive, crashed headlong into a car parked on the side of the street, and the driver Stallone immediately flew out, sliding to the other side with his face against the roof of the car. Hu Bin's luck was slightly better, but he didn't brake with his face like Stallone, he followed the detached passenger seat and continued to drive forward unicycle for a distance, and finally relied on a street lamp to complete the landing.

The machine gun on the tank behind them opened fire again, and the flying bullets caused the two to run to the back of the car to avoid it before they could fully react from the crash. But it turned out to be how unwise it was to hide in front of a tank, and the M4, once again loaded with ammunition, fired an accurate pop at the motorcycle that crashed into the car, killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Hu Bin and Stallone jumped out of the car used as cover in time, and then fell to the ground by the violent explosion, and the machine gun bullets struck the two of them like a shadow, causing the shields on the two to flash one after another. Hu Bin had to drag the seriously injured Stallone to hide behind the hot wreckage again, but both knew that the next shell would kill them sooner or later.

Hu Bin's mind quickly flashed through all his means, but he didn't find a way to get himself out of danger, he knew that he might escape with a more advanced protective suit, but Stallone would definitely die here, this conclusion made Hu Bin, who had always claimed to be the top senior numberer in the space, feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

The tank did not rush to open fire, but kept suppressing the hiding place of the two with machine guns, Hu Bin knew very well that the crew wanted to save shells, but this contempt was even more uncomfortable than directly shelling him.

"I can't do it, you run!" Stallone clutched his thigh wounded by a machine gun, the physique of the numbered person made the wound not bleed much, but it seriously affected his mobility, and the word "doomed" is his current portrayal.

"Damn, I owe you a life, now is the time to return it, fight!" Hu Bin swooped out of the wreckage of the car and fired his pistol at the rapidly approaching tank from a short distance in an attempt to attract its attention.

The muzzle of the tank was really tilted in the direction of Hu Bin, and the M4 didn't expect anyone to dare to run out, and finally got tired of the game of cats playing rats, and decided to use the main gun to solve the battle.

(The explosion rang out, and Hu Bin fell to the ground covered in blood and hung up.) End of book! How can it be. )

The explosion sounded, the side of the M4 was hit by a shell, the warhead penetrated the armor and exploded directly inside the tank, causing the shells in the ammunition rack to be killed, and the crew members were blown into pieces of flesh without even making a scream, and the turret of the tank was carried up three meters into the air by the shock wave.

With a "bang", the M4's twisted turret crashed to the ground, waking up Hu Bin and Stallone, who were waiting for death with their eyes closed, but the sudden reversal of the situation made the two fall into confusion again.

A German No. 4 tank rushed out of the side street, and the commander on it was watching to see if the M4 still had a crew survivor. When Pu Yi saw Stallone and Hu Bin who were in a daze, he was also stunned. Hu Bin watched the commander hurriedly draw a submachine gun, and was wondering if there were still enemies there, but saw that the guy pointed the submachine gun directly at him.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden ......"

"I'm rubbing, my own people, my own people, hit my own people!"

……

Hu Bin wanted to cry and accept the bandaging of the medical soldiers without tears, and although he was protected by protective clothing, he was still opened by the reckless commander with six or seven holes in his body. If it weren't for the tenacity of the numberer, he would have hung in the hands of his allies. Lying beside him was the gloating Sylvester Stallone, and the two of them were taken to a safe place in the rear after showing their certificates, and they also learned about the development of the battle here.

on the eastern coast line. The Germans had been completely defeated, and several army groups in defensive positions were directly surrounded by the Allied forces at any cost. While stabilizing the beachhead, the Allies did not seem to be slowing down the momentum, and then let the newly landed armored units support the various key points of communication near the coast at full speed, and the small city where Hu Bin was located was one of the most important. If Hu Bin had contacted the German command before launching a camouflage infiltration operation, he would have known the news. But there are often not so many ifs in the world, and this small negligence almost killed Hu Bin and Stallone.

The Allies were menacing and completely occupied the small town as a communication point. Follow-up support is still coming here. After learning that the situation here was urgent, the German command transferred back the armored division that had left before, and reinforced two full infantry regiments to assist in the battle, intending to recapture the small city with this powerful force.

The results of the command's handling of Hu Bin also came out, because the two units of the recruit company and the semi-mechanized battalion had been disabled, the command directly revoked their numbers, and Hu Bin, who took over the command of the unit as a crisis, hung his rank of lieutenant and became a loner, and even took Stallone and the other surviving soldiers into the armored division where he is now located as logistics. So, Lieutenant Hu Bin has now become a glorious armored division...... Second Chief of Logistics.

It's not that Hu Bin didn't think about transferring himself to two infantry regiments, relying on his rank, he could mix up with a company-level force, to say the least. But after experiencing the devastation of armored forces, Hu Bin would rather stay in the more secure armored division as a miscellaneous man than go to the two infantry regiments that are rarely seen even with bazookas.

The addition of tanks, aircraft, artillery and other war machinery has further escalated the war, replacing the petty fights of infantry and armored vehicles, and the arrangement of the numberers before the space has not kept up with the rhythm of the battle, and the numberers need more than just weapons for soldiers, anti-armor forces have become something they urgently need.

While Hu Bin was paralyzed in bed recuperating from his injuries, the space made a significant adjustment to the battle situation.

"Please note that the secondary career selection system is now open, so please proceed with the selection of a second career as soon as possible. The weapon exchange system is now open, please check with the nearest supply point for details. Warning, the difficulty of killing the specified target has been increased, please pay attention to the numberer. ”

Although the weapon and equipment exchange system cannot be opened anytime and anywhere like the contractor, it can be guessed that there must be anti-armor weapons in the weapon exchange, which narrows the gap between the numberer and the contractor in terms of weapons and equipment. The choice of the secondary profession is undoubtedly a measure to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the numberer again, and Hu Bin is not sure of the specific situation, and it is difficult for Hu Bin to draw conclusions.

Hu Bin, who was still recuperating from his injuries, did not rush to the supply point to check the new weapons and equipment, after all, he was hanging the post of the second logistics chief of the armored division, and the logistics department of the armored division was no different from his own backyard to him. After taking the lead in opening the secondary career selection interface, Hu Bin was really taken aback by the content on it.

"Looks like the space is going to start getting real." Hu Bin looked at the introduction of each secondary profession and muttered.

Compared to the few infantry unit class template options in the first class selection, the secondary class selection can be said to be a lot richer, including not only the original class enhancement versions such as Elite Assault, Elite Fireman, Field Medic, etc. There are also special classes such as crew, pilot, gunner, etc.

However, the employment conditions of special professions have requirements for the first profession, for example, the gunner must be employed by the fireman, and the crew is not limited to any profession, but the employment conditions of the pilot are very harsh, and the sniper who is a special profession is needed as a precursor. A variety of other professions, such as minesweepers, bomber crews, anti-tank rocketeers, etc., also require some conditions to complete the inauguration, but these employment conditions are much simpler than the first inauguration, which required a trial.

Hu Bin drooled as he looked at the pilot's employment conditions, but he didn't even see the shadow of the airport now, and the time did not allow him to look for a place where he could work. The Sniper itself is a special class, and there are no classes to choose from.

Hu Bin is now on a temporary post in the armored division, and he is fed up with running on two legs, and he doesn't want to continue to be an infantry cannon fodder. simply chose the crew with no career restrictions as his second career. Hu Bin, who thought that the selection was complete, then received a prompt from the space, and the crew occupation needed to make a specific branch selection by himself. Hu Bin looked at several branches under the crew profession with an indifferent attitude, and suddenly cheered up.

Loaders, gunners, signal men, drivers, and the commander who suddenly appeared. Hu Bin was sure that he had only seen the first four branches just now, and that the last Commander's branch was revealed after a while. After carefully reading the description of the branch, Hu Bin understood the particularity of the commander's branch, which is a branch that can only be employed if you have reached a certain rank of crew occupation, and Lieutenant Hu Bin's military rank obviously meets this standard.

"That's it." Hu Bin finally chose the commander as his second career, and the knowledge of the profession was directly injected into his mind after he made his choice. Hu Bin probed the extra knowledge in his head. I thought that this kind of technology could train a group of professionals, but this knowledge is not practical experience after all, just like Hu Bin, even if he has mastered all the knowledge that a commander should master. He wasn't a proper commander.

Originally, he thought that Space had enough surprises for the numbered person in terms of secondary professions, but Hu Bin still underestimated how much Space attached importance to this mercenary mission.

Stallone, who couldn't help but take the lead in going to the logistics department of the armored division to check if there was a motorcycle exchange, came to Hu Bin with a hellish expression, and pulled Hu Bin to the supply point without saying anything. And the exchange items given in the supply point made even Hu Bin, who was used to seeing big scenes, gasp.

"Is this going to expand the scale of the battle?" Hu Bin looked at the items on the exchange list and couldn't help but say this conclusion, but Stallone, who was obviously immersed in extreme excitement, didn't pay attention to what he said.

In addition to the original bullet grenade, food kit, tool kit and other basic items exchange. Tactical weapons such as mortars and anti-tank rocket launchers have been added to the list, but the price of these weapons still makes the numberer feel the urge to jump off a building. But these can no longer attract the attention of the numberers, and the space has made some major moves for secondary professions this time, that is, the exchange of war machines has been opened.

The advent of anti-tank artillery and anti-infantry artillery has diversified the means of infantry warfare, making positional warfare more complex and dangerous. The appearance of two special weapons, the Empty Cannon and the Empty Cannon, also means that the numberers will face a threat from the air. Although the redemption options of the three fighters made the numberers almost crazy, the astronomical exchange prices and the harsh employment conditions of the pilots doomed these redemption options to the fate.

The highlight is undoubtedly the exchange of vehicles for all kinds of vehicles, trucks, armored vehicles, motorcycles, command vehicles, and tanks.

"Tiger heavy tank, exchange price 500,000 space coins." The clear price of the space scares all the numberers, and no numberer will pay the price of 500,000 gold coins for a tank that is destined to be out of this world. In contrast, an armored car with only 50,000 gold coins and an armed motorcycle with 20,000 gold coins are more suitable for the spending power of the numberer.

The Tiger tank at the top of the vehicle exchange table is undoubtedly very attractive to Hu Bin of the commander's profession, but Hu Bin can only look at the price and sigh. Many numberers complained that the space was too harsh on the pricing of the exchange items, but Hu Bin knew that the price paid by the space for these exchange items was definitely beyond the imagination of the numberers, and perhaps the exchange amount paid by the numberers was not even a fraction of these things, and the high exchange price was just a means to avoid causing a run on the numberers.

"Stallone, don't exchange your motorcycle yet, I think we have a better choice." (To be continued......)

PS: When you finish reading this chapter, can you guess that this is the result of my sixth revision? It's hard to imagine sitting in front of a computer for six hours and thinking about it without even being able to write a 1,000-word manuscript. Actually, this chapter should have been published yesterday, but I deleted it before it was published. As you may have seen, the future story will introduce some elements from WOT (World of Tanks). As a wot veteran, I don't want to write this part of the chapter very casually, so when there is a phenomenon of broken changes, please forgive me, after all, I write novels for interest, not just a simple mix of words.
