Chapter Seventy-Eight: The First Tank Battle in Another World (Part II)

There are some things that only have one change today.

The forty-two MKIs of the separate tank battalion, in an irregular line, were the first to pause fire at a distance of 400 meters from the Imperial tanks, and the 40mm Magic Crystal cannon on the turret and the 70mm Magic Crystal gun on the front of the hull fired together.

According to the concept of MKI tank designers, tanks do not need to be divided into cruiser tanks and infantry tanks, it is completely possible to combine two tanks into one, and the coalition forces only need a tank that can be both offensive and defensive, so MKI was born.

The magic crystal cannon on the front of the hull of the MKI tank fired a fire-based burst shell, which fell into the tank group of the Imperial Army together with the terroir-piercing shells fired by the small turret above, hitting six tanks of the Imperial Army, of which four wolf shells and two earth turtles, four wolf shells were destroyed on the spot, their thin armor could not be blocked by either terroir armor-piercing bullets or fire-based burst shells, and the two earth turtles had nothing to do at all, and the terroir armor-piercing shells and fire-based bursting shells could not penetrate its heavy armor, especially the bursting shells similar to high-explosive shells, that is, HE shells, and the terroir armor-piercing shells also left a white spot on the armor plate of the earth turtle tank, the blaster does not even have a white spot.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

The Imperial tanks counterattacked, again with a short stop but with a higher hit rate than the separate tank battalion, with ten MKI tanks hit, but none of the same thick-skinned MKIs were damaged, and only one had to stop as a stationary battery with its tracks broken.

Colonel Marshall was still quite apprehensive when the tanks of the Imperial Army opened fire, but after the shelling saw that the tanks on his side could be regarded as unscathed, his heart was ecstatic, and he hurriedly ordered the assault to begin, and forty-one MKI tanks charged forward like ancient heavy armored knights.

The tanks of the coalition and the Imperial army are getting closer and closer, and the hit rate of both sides is getting higher and higher, and the tanks are constantly being hit by the magic bullets that come from the fire, but except for the wolf tank, none of the MKI nor the tortoise are destroyed.

When the two sides approached two hundred meters, the Imperial Army's wolf tank suddenly turned around and detoured to the sides of the independent tank battalion, turned the turret and shelled the side of the MKI tank of the independent tank battalion, and after two rounds of shelling, the wolf tank operators were surprised to find that the magic bullets they fired still could not destroy the MKI tank.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

A round of artillery fell, the wolf bushes on both sides were destroyed, and the rest turned around and ran when they saw that the situation was not good, and Colonel Marshall didn't care about the wolves who fled, because the wolf bushes were like babies facing adults in front of the MKI tanks, and they would not pose any threat to the MKI, in Colonel Marshall's mind, the turtle tanks were the biggest danger and needed to be annihilated as soon as possible, otherwise the reinforcements of the Imperial tanks drawn from other fronts would be reached.

Colonel Marshall's MKI tank fired a short stop, and the terroir-piercing shells and fire-based explosive shells all accurately hit an earth turtle more than a hundred meters away, but he was still frustrated to find that it could not penetrate the opponent's armor, and the same Imperial army's earth turtle tank could not penetrate the armor of the MKI tank, regardless of front and rear.

Tank designers from another world are very interesting, and the armor of the tank is the same thickness in the front and back, but the same is true for the tanks in the early days of the earth, and it is only in the middle and late stages of World War II that the front armor is the thickest and the rear armor is the thinnest.

Therefore, no one can help the MKI and the earth turtle tank, which are not strong enough to pierce the armor, don't look at the excitement of your back and forth, except for the unlucky wolf bush, neither side has destroyed a tank.

"Tut-tut...... When will this kind of broken war be over? ”

In the front-line concealed command post, Ouyang Yu shook her head and picked up the phone, after watching the play for a long time, she planned to insert a rod horizontally and grab Colonel Marshall's head, the armor of the Earth Turtle Tank was too thick, and the T-26 and T-35 under her command could not penetrate it, but the Magic Crystal Cannon of the Earth Turtle Tank could penetrate the weak armor of T-26 and T-35, but to deal with these Earth King Ba, there was no need for Ouyang Yu's T-26 and T-35 to appear, don't forget that she has a lot of anti-aircraft guns in her hands, especially the German 88mm anti-aircraft guns have a fine tradition of anti-tank。

The ten M1917 eighty-eight mm anti-aircraft guns hidden in the second-line position shed their camouflage nets, and the nearby artillerymen were in full swing preparing for firing, and one by one the polished shiny armor-piercing shells were stuffed into the barrels, and the No. 1 shooter quickly shook the crank and put the Imperial Army's turtle tank into the crosshairs of the scope.

"Shoot!"

"Bang bang bang ......!"

Ten armor-piercing shells flew faster than the speed of sound towards the Tortoise tank in the midst of a fierce battle.

"Dang!"

The side armor of a turtle tank was pierced, and the sixty-five-millimeter-thick steel armor seemed to be made of mud that could be easily pierced by armor-piercing bullets, and a fist-sized hole appeared in the side of this turtle tank.

"Boom......!"

The armor-piercing shell exploded inside the Turtle Tank, killing the four tank crew members in an instant, and the violent explosion shock wave also opened the entrance and exit of the Turtle Tank's crew, and a large amount of black smoke came out of the Turtle Tank.

The salvo of ten M1917 eighty-eight mm anti-aircraft guns was killed, and the eight turtle tanks that were fighting fiercely with the independent tank battalion could startle Colonel Marshall, who didn't know what was going on at all, looked around blankly, and after seeing the M1917 eighty-eight mm anti-aircraft gun with green smoke still emitting from the muzzle, he knew that it was Ouyang Yu who robbed his head.

Colonel Marshall was shocked by the armor-piercing performance of those M1917 eighty-eight mm anti-aircraft guns, but Ouyang Yu's move to grab people's heads also helped him, other tanks of the Imperial Army had already arrived, if Ouyang Yu didn't grab people's heads, his independent tank regiment would be in danger of being flanked front and rear, even if the MKI tanks would not be penetrated, but who could guarantee that there would be no danger.

Due to the absolute numerical superiority of the tanks of the Imperial Army, accompanied by a large number of infantry, Colonel Marshall ordered the forty-one tanks of the Independent Tank Battalion to reverse and slowly retreat, return to the position of Ouyang Yu's army, and then stop at the position and shoot at the reinforcements of the Imperial Army together with ten M1917 eighty-eight mm anti-aircraft guns.

This time, the MKI tankmen under Colonel Marshall were very clever in aiming their guns at the wolf tanks of the Imperial Army, and handed over the Earth Turtle tanks to Ouyang Yu's ten M1917 eighty-eight mm anti-aircraft guns.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

The battlefield roared with artillery for a while, and the Wolf Bush and Turtle tanks of the Imperial Army were heavily damaged, and the previously strong and safe tanks were now turned into fire coffins on the battlefield.

The frontal armor of a turtle tank was pierced, and the ammunition rack was hit by armor-piercing shells, triggering a chain explosion that shattered the entire tank to pieces, and the infantry that followed around it was swept down by the flying steel fragments.

"Boom!"

Just next to the turtle tank that was blown to pieces, the other turtle was also pierced, although it was not hit by the ammunition rack, but the engine caught fire, the clothes on the two surviving crew members were ignited, and they crawled out of the tank screaming, the first crew member who climbed out and jumped into the ground was quickly dragged to the back by the nearby infantry to help him extinguish the fire with sand, and the second crew member was not so lucky, he was targeted by Ouyang Yujun's accurate shooter, and just climbed out of the hatch on the top and was shot in the head by a 7.62 mm bullet, and the body was burned to char on the top hatch that kept coming out of flames.

It is impossible for the tankmen of the Imperial Army to be beaten and not fight back, they desperately fought back but the effect was not great, this is because the tanks of the Imperial Army are in a state of marching, even if they stop for a short time, the accuracy is not higher there, and they will become the best target after staying for a long time, so the tankmen of the Imperial Army generally only pause for two or three seconds, and continue to move forward after hurriedly firing the gun.

The magic bullets fired by the tanks of the Imperial Army have almost no effect even if they hit accurately, and the MKI tanks needless to say, the armor is thick enough, and the magic bullets fired by the wolf bush or the earth turtle tank cannot penetrate it.

The ten M1917 eighty-eight mm anti-aircraft guns of Ouyang Yu's army all have perfect firing positions, and there is a protective wall made of logs and sandbags in front of the anti-aircraft guns, which can effectively resist the magic bullets fired by the tanks of the imperial army.

When the tanks and anti-aircraft artillery on both sides were hot, the infantry of Ouyang Yu's army was not idle, with powerful automatic firepower such as heavy machine guns and submachine guns, the soldiers of the imperial army who fought hid behind the tanks and did not dare to show their heads, coupled with the ** that fell from time to time and the tanks that were exploded one by one, made the soldiers of the imperial army miserable, and they felt that it was not safe to hide anywhere.

"Let the children come back, if they continue to fight, they will only lose their lives in vain. ”

Lieutenant General Merlin gave the order to retreat with a sad expression, and from the telescope, he saw tanks turned into torches and pieces of fallen Imperial soldiers, while Ouyang Yu's army, as the enemy, suffered very little losses, and even launched a counter-charge.

"For the sake of the great Duchy of Lucerne and the respected leader of Ouyang, the soldiers are rushing with me!"

Ouyang Yu's political commissars took the lead in jumping out of the trenches, brandishing Suomi submachine guns in their left hands and holding the military flag of Ouyang Yu's army in their right hands.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

In the rear position of Ouyang Yu's army, the artillery group that had been replenished roared again, and each shell would take the lives of several Imperial soldiers, and the retreat of the Imperial Army turned into a rout under the double blow.
