Chapter Twenty-Three: Truth vs. Bobru
In the face of Katyusha's high-profile announcement, everyone, whether outside or in the chariot, stood up and saluted in unison.
This competition is different from the melee that Hui Lisa participated in last time, it is a knockout round of four houses-
Group A: School of Truth VS Bobru High School
Group B: BC Liberty College VS Zhibo Single College
Finally, the winners of Group A and Group B will play in the final.
Before the start of the race, teams of 20 chariots drove into the arena in batches, and in order to ensure that there was enough space to compete, the starting location of the two teams was less than 5 km due to the size of the field, but it was separated by a mountain, and the starting point could not be directly visually inspected by each other.
"Are Nina and Alina really okay? Willissa is worried. Remembering that before departure, Nina had been sweating, and Alina kept drawing "people" in the palm of her hand, and Willisa was a little worried.
Now through the periscope, I saw the two people who were the leaders who opened the hatch to reveal their upper bodies to command the convoy, and their behavior before departure still didn't seem to have completely stopped, so I was even more worried.
As a rule, in the Capture the Flag battle, the command vehicle and the flag car were separated, and the red pennant was erected on the BT-7 where Alina was.
"Forward, forward!" After observing the terrain of the mountains, Nina decided that the high ground was not suitable for mountain grabbing, with a large number of trees obstructing it, and it seemed that there were very soft and even swampy areas that would trap the chariots. The same should be true for the enemy, so she followed her with 6 T-70s and 2 BT-7A with KT-28 howitzers to break through the mountain road.
And Willissa's chariot was left in place to guard the flag chariot with the rest of the chariots. Willissa could only watch as some of the vehicles grew farther and farther away from her.
Just when the distance between the two echelons reached a kilometer-
Suddenly, two shells flew out of the jungle in the mountains and landed in the convoy led by Nina.
"Boom!" One shell smashed on one BT-7A, causing it to raise a white flag unwillingly, and the other splattered dirt on the ground near the BT-7TU where Nina was.
It was attacked by a sneak attack, and the attack came from two TKS tanks that appeared on the left flank of the Truth Chariot team, because it was less than 3t and very small, and the terrain that the Truth Chariot couldn't walk, it was no problem for it. At the same time, camouflage nets are used, making it difficult to identify.
These two guns also revealed the presence of two tanks, and they were about to retreat, but the muzzles of the two T-70s and one BT-7A on the left flank of the Combat Vehicle of Truth had already locked onto them.
The chariot of truth is always on guard around it, and the muzzles of the two-wing chariot are facing outward at any time, so there is no need to turn many angles at all.
"Ding-bang!" A TKS tank was hit by two armor-piercing shells fired from the T-70, one of which grazed by, the other hit the head, and the white flag was raised.
"Boom!" Another TKS tank was engulfed by the explosion of a 76.2mm grenade that landed in close proximity. When the smoke cleared, the white flag was already visible, and not only that, but the body of the car was also miserable, one track was broken into three sections, and several load-bearing wheels flew and scattered nearby.
Removed the 152 Cults of God...... It is the howitzer of a type of KV-2 type of combat vehicle, and the penetration depth of the general grenade is generally not high, so the grenade and howitzer are rarely equipped in the battle lane and the chariot competition, but the grenade also has advantages - it is best to destroy the combat vehicle, even if it can't, destroy the operational mechanism and even other components, there is also a chance to make the combat vehicle lose its combat effectiveness, and there is no need to aim accurately.
When Yamaguchi Dingchu can't penetrate the enemy's armor, hitting HE is a good option. It's not impossible to defeat here, but it's great to be able to take out enemy vehicles in an easy way.
"Don't care about the loss, move forward!" Nina shouted over the walkie-talkie.
"It's worthy of our school's chariot lane crew, and the necessary spontaneous response is really fast." Because Hui Lisha, who was sticking her head out, was holding a telescope and watching the battle situation thousands of kilometers away.
"But one BT-7A for two TKS tanks seems to be a loss. When will the second echelon be on? Alina, who was on the BT-7 tank not far from the next door, muttered.
According to Nina's plan...... In fact, one of the battle lane strategies commonly used by the Katyusha was followed, in which the command vehicle led the first echelon to find the enemy's main force and launch a frontal attack, and after the exchange of fire, the second echelon used high mobility to go around the enemy's flank and rear, and the two sides were copied.
If you encounter a small number of sporadic chariots blocking and sneak attacks, just fight back like you did just now, and against the School of Truth, you can't take advantage of a small number of chariots.
But can it really go well?
Turning to Nina's point of view, she advanced to a terrain surrounded by hills on three sides, and Nina, who had not encountered the main enemy force, felt that something was wrong.
"The second echelon kept a distance of 1000m to follow up and sent two BT-7 vehicles to the sides of the echelon to reconnoitre, and the first echelon sent two advance teams T-70 to advance. Don't be careless and stay vigilant. โ
"None of my business? Willissa is feeling a little bored. Willisa muttered.
However, she also understands that the positioning of the BT-7A is originally to support combat vehicles, and to cooperate with large forces, and there must be no chance of activity before encountering the enemy on a large scale.
Suddenly, the T-70 tanks of the two advance teams, covered by a burst of intense and dense artillery fire, both raised their white flags.
"This is Team H, sorry to be killed!"
"This is Team C, 6 enemy vehicles were found, because of camouflage, the model is unknown! I'm so sorry! โ
"No, your mission is well done, you have taken the bait," Nina picked up the artillery mirror to observe the position where the gun smoke was rising, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said loudly, "Distance 1200, first echelon, ะกััะตะปััั (shooting)!" โ
In an instant, the position where the Bobru chariot had just fired was also covered by a large amount of artillery fire, but Pobru was not to be outdone, and fired back, and clusters of flying dust burst near the chariot of truth.
This time, due to the considerable distance, although the firing momentum of more than a dozen chariots was quite vast and spectacular, the two sides fought in waves, and neither of them hit the other side.
After a period of firefighting, the other party's model was enough to determine that it was a mixed formation composed of TKS, Vickers, and 7TP tanks.
The 7TP tank is a light Polish tank, which is an improved and designed vehicle based on the Vickers tank. The main gun is a 37mm wz.37L/45 Bofors anti-tank gun, which has average mechanical power. Compared to the Soviet T-70, it is considered weak. But it is not without the power of a war.
However, Nina did not immediately order the advance and the second echelon support, because Pobru still had half of the chariot not showing his face, and at this time, he could not be anxious and fall into the opponent's routine.
However, the chariot formation still had to be changed, and the gentle mountain road was not wide, so in order to facilitate the march and prevent the flanks from being attacked by sneak attacks, Nina had the chariots advance side by side in two columns, and now the formation had to be set apart.
Suddenly, behind the hillside on the right, which was about 200m away, several bursts of fire appeared, and another BT-7A in the first echelon of truth popped up a white flag............
