Chapter 53: T-34 Submarine Landing!
The current composition of the university reinforcement team determines that the university reinforcement team can gain an advantage in group combat, but it also causes the current situation.
It is not possible to let the team other than the reconnaissance vehicle have no command vehicle, so it cannot be optimized according to the model of the combat vehicle, unless the squadron leader team and the general vehicle group change vehicles, but the performance of the T26E3 is really not qualified for the ability of these elite vehicle groups of the university team.
Thinking of this, Emi felt very speechless.
"No enemy was found on the other side."
After Emi reconfirmed that the surroundings were at least safe for the time being, the four T26E3 Pershing continued to guard the surroundings while slowly driving onto the road with pools on both sides. After that, Emi made her M26E2 reverse to keep up.
That's right, the M26E2 is reversed, which can prevent the rear of the car from being manipulated with more fragile armor, because the M26E2 has excellent mobility, even if something happens and you need to move forward urgently, you can keep up with the ordinary Pershing in front. And when it is necessary to retreat urgently, the M26E2 can also get out of the line as quickly as possible, even if the other Pershing kneels, but as long as the elite crew is still there, there is a chance to turn the tables.
The road on the water is not straight, with several 90° bends along the way, and several back and forth to reach the opposite shore.
Just when the first T26E3 came to the first corner and had to follow the road to make a 90° turn and turn the vehicle sideways-
"Boom!" On the other side of the pool, a fire erupts from an advertising sign near the entrance to the water amusement park!
"Boom!" The side of this T26E3 that had just crossed exploded instantly, and a white flag popped up on the turret!
The lead car was turning around in a long Pershing cluster of snakes on the central road of the pool at the water amusement park, and the white flag was suddenly whipped out by a shot from a billboard.
It was the III assault gun that borrowed the camouflage board to camouflage the chariot for the attack, because there was really nowhere to hide around this water amusement park. It's low-level, but it's effective.
At this time, the Pershing gun in the back turned in other directions to guard the perimeter, and the Pershing in the back was blocked by the vehicle in front and could not attack the III assault gun.
"Yay, macaroni fight, big success!" The women's group was overjoyed to get the first kill.
Before the second T26E3 could turn its turret around, the III assault gun tore down the camouflage board and turned a corner, exiting the varsity team through the walled entrance to the adjacent water amusement park.
Now, the way forward of the university team is blocked, and the lead car turns 90 degrees, making it difficult for the chariots behind to push even if they are strung together as Pershing centipedes, so there is only one way back.
"Retreat!" After saying this, Emi turned off the communication and said to her crew, "Full speed ahead!" Feeling that something was wrong, Emi ordered her chariot to rush at full speed towards the West Gate!
"Whew!" Immediately, a shell flew over where the M26E2 had just been - Oarai had to pinch the head and tail to eat the middle, a common tactic.
The attacker was a T-34/85M in the water, and the excellent waterproof performance of the Truth School vehicle did not fall due to the modification. Now the T-34/85M is in the pool, and before the cannon is fired, something else is covered on it as a camouflage, and the moment the cannon is fired, the camouflage is lifted by the air wave of the artillery, revealing an army green tank with only the turret exposed on the water.
The T-34/85M is in the water, and even if the US imperialists' tank artillery has a conscience in terms of depression, the artillery of the Pershing cluster cannot reach the T-34/85M, which is mostly in the water.
However, the University Reinforcement Team had to leave the dead ground in an orderly manner, turn the hull and turret, and aim the strongest direction at the T-34/85M before making a U-turn.
"Xiaomei, it's now!" Katyusha shouted.
At the entrance and exit where the III assault gun had just left, the Panther tank drove out directly, the turret had turned 90 degrees in advance, and as soon as it appeared, it almost aimed at the Pershing cluster.
Now the Pershing cluster is aiming the strongest front of the turret at the invulnerable T-34/85M, leaving the flanks to the Panther tanks in the other direction.
Although the Panther tank can also penetrate the front of the Pershing attack, the main armor of the Pershing hull has a large inclination, the gun shield has a curvature, and there is a chance of magic ricochet, which can be destroyed with confidence if hit from this side.
"Boom!" The second T26E3 was destroyed by a Panther tank.
At this time, the two T26E3s behind had already broken away from the water road, out of the attack range of the Katyusha, and together with the M26E2, they broke out of the area where the operation was difficult and began to retreat. Those who have lost nearly half of them are now no longer able to play with their opponents at their home stadium.
Katyusha: "All vehicles, assault!" ”
The throttle of the T-34/85M roared and rushed from the water to the shore, the Panther tank drove into the water amusement park, the III assault gun followed, and several tanks were going to open fire on the 3 fleeing Pershings!
"Release the smoke!" As Emi gave the order, several Pershings spewed out a puff of smoke that isolated the view of both sides.
"Boom, boom!" Reluctantly, Oarai's chariot fired several shots into the smoke, but unfortunately did not hit any targets.
"Damn, such a good ambush circle, but let them escape!" Erwin slammed his fist into the inner wall of the chariot in a performative manner.
"Hmph, they won't be able to escape far." Katyusha stretched out her hand and signaled her other tanks not to pursue (because if the vehicles on the other side of the bank were to come, they would need to push Pershing away from the road, so there was no time for the United States to waste), and she had to open her mouth and let her T-34/85M catch up alone.
Does Katyusha want to take on 3 Pershings alone? It's not like that-
Not far from the 3 Pershing cars, there was a burst of artillery in the forest on the side! The shelling exploded near the Pershing cluster, and the distance was very close!
"Boom, boom!"
Under Miho's orders, M26E2, M26A1E2, and IS-4 that followed the troops of this university team appeared!
Seeing that the number of enemies had doubled all at once, the 3 Pershings didn't care about fighting back at all, so they fled at full speed.
"Catch up, shoot, shoot, don't let them escape!" Katyusha shouted, driving the T-34/85M out of the woods, joining up with the M26E2, M26A1E2, and IS-4 that had just exited the forest.
The next battle situation was even more one-sided, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the T26E3 was not high, and it was impossible to shake off the T-34/85M, M26E2, and even the IS-4 weighing 60t at a speed in the field outside the playground, and the smoke was dispersed and destroyed by a salvo of two-wheeled grenades and armor-piercing shells, so that the T26E3 all raised the white flag.
The M26E2 of the college team, there is no way to do it, only the T-34/85M can catch up, and the M26E2 in Youhua is because it is equipped with a long-barreled gun, and the thrust-to-weight ratio has dropped and cannot be followed, seeing that the opponent is running away, you can't let Katyusha's T-34/85M go head-to-head with the higher-level M26E2, right?
Thinking of continuing to chase the team that might encounter the university team, Katyusha gave up the pursuit, anyway, he destroyed 5 M26 Pershings of the enemy without damage, plus the other two doors destroyed two M24 Xia Fei and beat the T28/95 respectively, which had already given Dawashi a great advantage.
