Chapter 51: Carpet Bombing!
St. Gloriana Women's College, Rosehip
Consistent with what Yelisa "heard", now St. Gloriana's cruiser tank unit did drive onto the road from the other end of the field, advancing quickly along the road.
"Rose Hip, I told you we can't be more than 1,000m apart. Don't drive fast all the time. Darjeeling's voice rang out over Rosehip's radio.
"Oh, yes! All cruisers, we rushed too far ahead, stop! ”
With an unpleasant friction sound, a large number of chariots with five pairs of load-bearing wheels and six pairs of load-bearing wheels came to a halt in unison.
Darjeeling: "If it's based on the T-34's advancing speed, there are still five points left before the enemy is engaged, Rose Hip, please send a reconnaissance vehicle." ”
Rose Hip: "Yes." Mint dew, over to you. ”
The reason for handing over Mint Dew is very simple - this group is the most beautiful in tail flicking and drifting, no worse than its own old driver. But he is the captain of the squad, and he can't do it himself.
The effect of flicking and drifting is very large, which can ensure the rotation speed of the chariot, so that the moment the enemy's main force is discovered but is also discovered by the opponent, it can save its life and retreat.
"Understood." After Mint Lu replied, he said to the car, "You have to get on, the opponent is the truth." ”
"Well, I feel like I'm going to be the first to kill me. Willisa felt so sad for the grassroots spies. Willisa thought a little uncomfortably.
"Along the road, there is a village, perhaps with the possibility of being a position, go and see. It's closer to the enemy's starting point, hurry. Mint Dew looked at the map and ordered.
"Understood." Willissa stepped on the accelerator to the floor.
A few minutes later –
The Cromwell tank reached the villages indicated on the map, but it seemed a little disappointing, with only very scattered and incoherent wooden houses, and the protection of the wood seemed to be like it would pass through without exploding even if a grenade hit it.
Willisa slowed down and slowly drove through the village. Mint Lu opened the hatch and leaned out, and continued to hold the black tea in one hand,
The deserted village, like an uninhabited village, was only the roar of chariot engines.
Well, it's an uninhabited village, how can there be people in the arena? Waiting for the cannons?
Mint Dew: "Stop."
Willisa, who probably had the answer in her heart, sighed a little helplessly and stepped on the brakes.
Mint Dew: "Reload the grenade, turn the turret 24° to the right." ”
"Mm-hmm, it's true that the warehouse looks good for hiding chariots, but why is Mint Dew sure that there are chariots over there?" Yuhanari asked with interest as she rotated the turret.
"Because I saw it. Any questions? ”
"See?" Willisa's cab viewing window has a limited view of the so-called warehouse, so how can this chariot, which can only secretly tell the truth, be so careless.
Or rather, why is peppermint dew suddenly more reliable at this time?
At this moment, the roar of engines sounded in the warehouse, and a T-34/76 smashed through the weak wooden wall and rushed out!
Ye Liusha has been listening to the movement here, this T-34/76 arrived at the village first, and there was no intention of fighting the cruiser tanks immediately, waiting for all the cruiser tanks to pass, and after engaging the large army, wouldn't it be better to fight the chrysanthemum that threatens the greater challenger?
When I was silent in the warehouse, I didn't expect to be discovered.
Yeliusha immediately notified the T-34/76 urgently.
However, the direction of the rush was at an angle to the Cromwell's tank, and the muzzle of the T-34/76 was not yet aimed at Cromwell.
Almost simultaneously, both sides aimed their guns at the opposing vehicle, less than 10 m away, which was too close, and the T-34/76 76.2mm F-34 gun, which penetrated less than 100 mm deep, was enough to penetrate the strong part of the Cromwell Mk.VIII.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Both sides opened fire almost simultaneously!
The speed of Yuhanari was still a little faster, and the 95mm grenade had already slammed into the T-34/76's hull armor when the opponent's 76.2mm armor-piercing shell was still accelerating in the barrel.
The impact of the grenade explosion caused the T-34/76 to roll up slightly, and the shell flew into the air.
At the same time, the armor of the hull of this T-34/-34/76 is only 45mm, and the defense mainly depends on the thickness of the equivalent armor brought by the inclination angle and the terrible ricochet, but the impact of the grenade explosion is all-round, and the inclination angle is useless at all, such a large grenade tickles the KV and IS, but to tear the 45mm armor, it is enough.
"Whew...... It's safe. Ahh Willisa shuddered slightly.
"yes, it was our chariot that won the first break of the race, good, good." Mint happily put down the teacup and slapped the other two with each other.
"Youhuali is also very attentive...... Well, it's good that my sister is happy. Willisa thought.
After Mint Lu was happy, he did not forget his work, the most important first thing - holding the teacup, the second - picking up the walkie-talkie and reporting to the superior.
"Report, we were discovered by enemy reconnaissance vehicles, it was T-34/76, it has been destroyed, what to do next, please ............"
Before he finished speaking, a dull "whirring" sound came from the sky.
"Run!" Mint Dew hurriedly shouted.
Naturally, Willisa knew what was going on, and immediately stepped on the accelerator hard, cruiser tanks and fast tanks, etc., this is good, if some decent medium tanks, want to rush out like this, maybe the tank will stall.
The impact of the chariot made the warehouse that had just knocked out a large hole for the T-34 completely wreckage, the chariot knocked down the last wall, and then broke through a high fence, and when it rushed to the opposite side, it suddenly opened up in front of him, and it really suddenly opened up-
The chariot rushed out of the village in an instant, and there was a field below, but it was only three or four meters away from the chassis of the chariot.
"Wow, ah, .................."
At this time, the car was almost an inelegant ghost crying wolf.
The chariot crossed a graceful parabola in mid-air, almost striking the earth at an angle of 30° to the ground!
It glided slightly undulating on the not hard ground for a while, plowing a heavy mark before stopping.
At this time, the village above was already covered by artillery fire.
The nearest chariot of truth is about 3,000 meters away from the village, and the distance is more than 5,000 meters, but if you raise the muzzle of the gun and use the projectile trajectory, you can hit it farther.
However, that is not accurate, and it is usually a carpet bombing of cluster fire.
Now it's basically carpet bombing!
Explosions came and went, and in just half a minute, the Chariot of Truth dropped more than fifty shells at the village using only the coordinates reported by the reconnaissance vehicle............
