Chapter 22 Advancing to the Great Snow Mountain
"It's good to put together a car, but it's a shame that I'm willing to spend so much energy on making so many cars like this in high school." Someone on the radio said.
"If it's a mid-tank chassis, you have to be more careful, what I saw over there is no doubt that the heavy tank is a wide rut, that is, the enemy's heavy tank has not yet appeared, and the SU-76i and T-34(r) assault guns - could it be that the T-34 parts were obtained from the middle school, but there is less turret and more fighting compartment, so the III assault gun was disassembled to ensure maximum combat power?" Willissa also interjected.
"It's not impossible, but ......" Ye Liusha thought for a while and picked up the walkie-talkie, "Political commissar, isn't it more beneficial to fight a tough battle for the truth?" β
"That's right, since the other side intends to fight like this, we will challenge it from the front, and at the same time, we must also beware of BT tanks that may surprise and disrupt at any time." Nona said.
When the chariot team reached the foot of the mountain, Nona took out her binoculars and looked up to confirm what the scout had reported.
"There's no change, but it's like a trap." Nona muttered to herself and picked up the walkie-talkie again, "The formation has changed, with me as the striker and T-44/100 as the defender, continue to maintain a single vertical advance." Π²ΠΏΠ΅ΡΡΠ΄ (forward)! β
"Ulla!" x n
"Huh? We're ............ at the end" Willisa heard the order, and muttered with a puffed up face with a little dissatisfaction, but the execution of this order did not belong to her, so it was nothing, and even if Willisa was the driver, she would faithfully carry out the order.
Nebria obediently parked the car, letting the other vehicles behind pass by, and only after the last T-34 had crossed the T-44/100 and there were no cars behind her, did Nebria put on the gas pedal to follow.
One by one, the chariots drove up the hill with the roar of their engines.
On the KV tank painted in snow-white paint, the commander, who was temporarily the squad leader, saw that the official attack had started below, and naturally he would not sit idly by: "Start shelling!" β
After giving the order, the KV-1, T-34/85, T-28, SU-76i, T-34 (r) assault guns attacked one after another.
The cannon roared, kicking up a large amount of snow and dust, which was then turned into white mist by the fire.
Artillery salvos are always a spectacular spectacle in battle-lane tournaments, but they don't make much use at this point. The shells closest to the Chariot of Truth were several meters away, and the farthest was even tens of meters away!
People who continue in high school are really not good at long-range shooting.
When there was still 1000m away, the tank was still moving, and the IS-3 roared as if it had enough momentum, and the 122mm cannon roared, and hit the T-34/85 on the continuing high side, and the armor-piercing projectile was less than half a meter away from hitting the target, and the dust was splattered so high that it almost engulfed the tank, almost like a real explosion.
"The T-34 stepped back and took cover with my KV." The commander of the KV had to give the order that the first shot should be fired at such a close position, and after the calibration fire, the second shot had to be hit.
And this commander knows that although he is riding in a KV tank, he can understand what kind of goods his KV is actually like, and it is really a patchwork car -
Only the turret is KV-1, or the unimproved front armor is less than 100mm, the hull is the KV-1S hull that reduces the armor level for the sake of mobility, and then, the gun is a 76.2mm gun on the surface, but it is fake, used to bluff people, it is just a casing, and it is wrapped in a 45mm gun that is pitiful for heavy tanks. Well, it's the artillery of the T-26, because I didn't get the right parts, I had to make up for it, at least the KV's hull is much stronger than the T-26.
For various deceptive purposes, this kind of camouflage barrel is not uncommon in history, and there are really models in history that add 76.2mm camouflage sleeve to the 45mm gun on the KV turret.
But here, it may be more useful to use a larger hull as a cover.
The T-34/85 is very powerful, and unlike those assault guns and tanks, it has a turret, so it can sell its head.
The vehicle behind the IS-3 also swung the turret slightly at a slight angle, and fired over the IS-3 towards the top of the hill.
A single column is a formation suitable for marching, but it is difficult to spread fire during an attack.
When attacking, a triangular attack formation should generally be used, which can take into account both the front and the side to prevent the flanks from being sneak attacked; Or line them up so you can pour out maximum fire on enemies in front of you.
Willisa, who followed the end of the team, found that her high-powered scope was occupied by the turret of the car in front of her, and the moment the car in front opened fire, her field of vision would be covered by smoke, and the aiming shot was very uncomfortable.
Willissa really didn't understand why Nona was in such a formation.
"Tsk...... Why? Theresa let out a hint of impatience in her mouth, "I really want to go out and shoot those squatting chariots." β
"No kidding! A vehicle of more than 30 tons climbs in the snow, and the tracks will be removed before the vehicle is used, this vehicle is not a BT tank with both wheels and tracks. Nibria yelled no.
"Woooooo
"Can you not answer in such a strange voice?"
"No!" Hui Lisha moved away from the scope dissatisfied, and glanced back dissatisfiedly, she was rubbed on the face by Ye Liusha just now, she didn't remember any instructions conveyed by rubbing her face.
"Have you calmed down?"
"Ah, where did you rub your foot before? The feet are cold enough. Willisa simply made a bad joke.
"Where else can you be behind you?"
Hui Lisha felt that Ye Liusha didn't seem to pay attention to the current battle situation, but she didn't look absent-minded.
The distance between the two sides was constantly shortening as the engines of the Truth Chariot rumbled into the long snake formation.
Of course, the team that continues to high school will also shoot at the school, and the hit rate has begun to increase.
Finally, the leading IS-3 began to make a "clanging" sound, and the metal sound of shells hitting the side of the combat vehicle in the rear was heard from time to time.
"All vehicles, parked, began shelling. T-44/100 was responsible for the right side of the enemy line. "Nona's next order came.
"Yes...... Is that so? "Willisa finally understood-
Although a single column formation is not suitable for pouring firepower, only the strikers can have enough space to exert their power, and the remaining defenders can easily hit the enemy's flank. So Nona put the powerful artillery of the tank at the head and the end, and at the same time, even if she continued to buy a new tank in high school, she was not able to break the firepower of the IS-3's black hole armor, even if it was behind the IS-3 attack-
With such a large angle, it is strange that the T-34 is not as lucky as ever.
What? What about BT-7, you say? Compared with other tanks, such a cute little tank can't show the projection when it is shrunk inside, and it's strange that the opposite side hits.
