Chapter 13: The Hard Scones
It's been half an hour since the race started, and as long as Darjeeling participates in the battle lane race, it seems that most of them are indispensable for such things-
"The tea stalk is erected, do you know that there is such a saying in England?" Darjeeling, who was sitting in the chariot, spoke slowly, "If the tea stalk stands up, it means that a distinguished guest is coming." β
"IMHO." Orange Huang Baihao looked at Darjeeling helplessly, "The guest has arrived...... Regardless of whether you are a guest or not. β
"It's just an exhibition match, but that's too careless." Looking at Darjeeling, who was still tasting black tea, Orange Huang Baihao was a little anxious.
"It's not as easy as a chescone to destroy an enemy vehicle." Even Assam gave a reminder.
"Calm down." Darjeeling put down the teacup in his hand, then said with a smile, "Be elegant at all times, this is the battle lane of St. Gloriana." This is already a must-remember line for the leader of the Black Tea Academy.
The convoy led by Darjeeling himself took the initiative to crash into the opponent's trap, and then either the opponent was too vegetable and let Darjeeling continue to push up, or it was a stalemate, and now it was a stalemate.
All the infantry tanks led by the flag chariot of Darjeeling, the Black Prince and the 4 Churchill tanks, were surrounded in a huge bunker in a huge golf course outside the city of Dawashi, because the bunker was some deep and surrounded by hillsides, so although Miho organized half of his tanks-
IV. V, III Turquoise G, SU-IT-76, T1E1, Type 97 self-howitzer Shi-Ki, as well as Zhibodan's Type 4 medium tank and 5 Type 3 gun tanks, fought from a distance, and could not cause breakdown damage to the infantry tanks in the bunkers.
The reason for this is that the depression angle is not enough, and even if it can hit, it will hit the roof of the chariot almost parallel to it, and then bounce off, but if you close the distance and use the downhill near the bunker to artificially make up the depression angle, you will give the enemy the first chance to counterattack.
So the scene was deadlocked.
On the other side, the Tiger P, Locust 10, KV-220, IS-1 experimental vehicle, KV-1E, and Zhibodan's Type 3 light tank and 5 Type 3 modified combat vehicles were responsible for sending reinforcements.
It's a bit like the encirclement tactics used by a country's armies, although it means less in Capture the Flag.
The unit in charge of reinforcements from the Oarai &Chiba Single Coalition Army met the T-34 "Steel Torrent" of Truth, and a fierce exchange of fire ensued.
The T-34 "Steel Torrent" is very powerful, although most of them are T-34/76 with weak firepower, and can withstand the 76.2mm F-34 gun head-on tanks, only the Tiger P, KV-220, IS-1 experimental vehicle, KV-1E, and the others are taken away with one shot. And the Tiger P, KV-220, and IS-1, which have good main armor and firepower, are naturally taken care of by the small number of T-34/85s that have a chance to penetrate them.
On the other hand, the T-34 still has a chance to magic ricochet, so the pressure on the Oarai &Chiba single coalition is great.
In this case, the reconnaissance vehicle has become almost meaningless, and the reconnaissance vehicle of Oarai, the Type 2 artillery fighting vehicle, went together to take charge of the reinforcements. Trying to relieve the pressure of reinforcements a little bit, and buy time for Miho to break through Darjeeling's flag car.
The Crusader tanks in charge of reconnaissance by the Truth & St. Gloriana coalition have long since converged with Rosefruit's troops.
At the behest of Darjeeling, Rose Hip gathered all 7 cruiser tanks, and while Miho was directing reinforcements from the encirclement point, the reconnaissance vehicles were withdrawn, and before they could find this cruiser tank unit from the side of the woods ready to break into the golf course opposite the woods, they went up to raid a wave.

The team led by Miho fired several waves of shells, and Miho judged according to the point of impact, and it was more appropriate to find out where to shell enemy vehicles. And he seized the throat microphoneβ
"Please stop the shelling, it will take time for the Truth Rangers to arrive here, take advantage of the advance now, reduce the encirclement, let us take care to occupy a safe terrain, and try to destroy enemy vehicles at a critical distance."
Speaking of which, Miho glanced at Nishisuyo, who was also at the captain level anyway.
"Understood." Nishisuyo said.
"That's good...... WELL, PANZER-VOR! Miho ordered the chariot to move forward.
However, Zhibodan's chariot didn't react.
Miho: "That? β
Nishisuyo: "Captain Nishizumi, what do you mean by 'PANZER-VOR'?" β
Miho: "Huh? Oh, that's what it means to move forward. Miho remembered that her troops couldn't understand Willissa's Russian instructions, and it seemed that schools with different cultures had to use the Chinese language if they wanted to cooperate.
"I see, that's what it means, I've been taught." Nishisuyo picked up the walkie-talkie he used to issue commands, "The chariot is on!" β
Finally, all the vehicles can move forward together.
Taking advantage of this time, Miho asked Saori to confirm the situation with the troops in charge of reinforcements: "The Owashi Chihadan joint attack force has been prepared, how is the situation of the reinforcement troops?" β
"It's slowly being pressed over. Actually, it's a bit unfortunate, we've already destroyed the KV-220 and IS-1 tanks by heavy hits, and we've lost 2 of the Type 3 tanks, but we've also destroyed 3 T-34/76s. Nakajima, a tiger p, replied, "Can you still hold on...... Five minutes...... Ah, but this is not all the remaining vehicles of the opponent, and it may not last so long as the distance gets closer and the enemies continue to increase. β
"Understood."
After Miho felt that the distance was almost appropriate, she pinched her throat and ordered, "Stop advancing, please fire a salvo according to my command!" Three, two, one, fire! β
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ............"
More than a dozen artillery pieces fired a volley at the bunkers in the golf course, and the entire bunker was completely covered by a wave of flames and smoke in an instant.
In this case, even if St. Gloriana had the intention of counterattacking, there was no possibility of accurate shooting in such a situation.
After about ten seconds, seeing that the smoke had cleared a bit, Miho confirmed that each car was loaded-
"Three, two, one, fire!"
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ............"
Another huge explosion covered the bunker with fire and smoke, and after a while the fact that 3 heavily armored Churchill tanks on the periphery of the bunker raised the white flag was confirmed.
The Churchill tank had strong frontal armor, and the Oarai & Zhiba single troops here did not have the vehicles that could destroy their main armor, because Oarai's troops fought around the bunkers, so they had the opportunity to attack the flanks of the enemy vehicles. The IV V, III Tu G, SU-IT-76, Type 97 self-howitzer Shi-Ki, and Zhibo Dan's Type 4 medium tank and Type 3 gun tank can all penetrate the side of the Churchill tank.
It looked like victory was coming, but Miho frowned slightly............
