Chapter Ninety-Six: Ouyang Yu's Armored Assault Cluster

PS: Ask for a monthly pass and a reward, what do you ask for.

While the elves were busy preparing the magic crystals and the steppe orcs were gathering their armies, the human side was not idle, and the Western Coalition was ordered to establish an advance base and material transit center at the edge of the Endless Forest before the main force of the coalition army came, so the Western Coalition Army, which had been partially strengthened, began a counteroffensive.

Under the command of Mary Qiuyu, the new front-line commander of the Elven Army, the 600,000 elves put aside their arrogance and began to learn from their opponents.

War is the best catalyst for science, this famous saying on the earth is also applicable in this world, in Ouyang Yu's new tactics even suffered several big losses of the elves learned smartly, according to the cat and the tiger to move her trench warfare set over, and the elves with very developed magic technology according to the dark council provided by Andy (Anti) some spar firearms information, zuò made a spar gun with elven characteristics, urgently produced a batch and then transported to the front line for realization.

The spar firearms produced by the elves are quite exquisitely made like their other products, with complex and gorgeous patterns engraved on the surface, and the tolerance of each part does not exceed 0.01, showing the superb manufacturing process of the elves, but the consequence of this obsessive compulsion in the pursuit of beauty is that the cost of each weapon is sky-high, and the manufacturing time is extremely long, and there is no assembly line, the time required to make a spar firearm takes a week, and Andy (Anti) only needs 27.5 man-hours to make a handful, and Ouyang Yu's shorter 25 man-hours can make a handful。

Today, the elven army's positions are crisscrossed with trenches, and in front of each trench there are magically spawned thorn belts as a substitute for barbed wire. The thorns in front of the trench are officially called iron wire thorns, which are not only very hard but also not afraid of fire. There are many spikes and barbs, and there is a certain degree of toxicity. The average growth height is about one meter, its performance is even better than barbed wire, and the price is much lower, after all, the elves only need to collect seeds and sow them, and they don't need a penny at all.

In addition, in the abundant endless forest, the elves also found another strange plant, the bomb fruit, the surface of this plant is like a sea urchin covered with spikes, the reason why the bomb fruit is called this name is because when this fruit is ripe, a strong air pressure will be generated in the fruit, and the peel will be exploded. The seeds in the fruit are scattered under the action of the shock wave to achieve the purpose of sowing, and those spikes that explode together will drive away the surrounding animals so that they will not come to eat the seeds, the penetration of the spikes is very strong, even the thick skin of the wild boar can be pierced, the fruit has a strong air pressure before it is ripe, but it is wrapped in the peel and explodes, the peel of the bomb fruit is very brittle, if someone steps on it, it will definitely break, and the gas in the fruit will take the opportunity to explode. Spikes also shoot out in fan-shaped shapes, and the elves have planted countless bombs in front of the thorn belt in place of mines.

After nearly a year of preparation and training, the troops of the Kadesh Kingdom have all been reequipped with World War I and World War II weapons, and their morale is high. Soldiers of the Kadesh Kingdom Army, dressed in full Soviet uniforms of World War II, were singing "Holy War", some on foot, some in trucks, and a steady stream of troops drove to the camp of the Western Coalition Army.

An infantry squad of the Kadesh kingdom, which has been redressed and retrained, has twelve people, and two of the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders use Bobosha submachine guns. A light machine gun crew of three people, divided into a shooter, a secondary shooter and an ammunition man. The secondary shooter and ammunition man used the Mosin Nagant rifle, an anti-armor group. There are two main and secondary shooters, and the secondary shooter is also an ammunition man, using a semi-automatic PTRS-41 anti-tank rifle with a caliber of 14.5 mm. The magic shield of a third-level mage or the vindictiveness of a warrior below level four, a fourteen-and-five-millimeter bullet with a depth of forty millimeters of armor penetration within a hundred meters, giving ordinary people the means to deal with intermediate warriors and magicians, and the remaining five soldiers are grenadiers, each carrying four grenades in addition to Mosin Nagant's rifle.

A platoon, consisting of three infantry squads and a fire squad, belonged to the four-four system instead of the three-three system like the PAL, and the fire squad had two 7.62 mm SG1939 air-cooled heavy machine guns with shields and small wheels and two RGP-7 rocket launchers, and all sub-shooters and ammunition men were armed with Bobosha submachine guns.

Three infantry platoons and one firepower squad formed a company, and the firepower platoon had two DShk-38/46 12.7 mm high-level dual-purpose heavy machine guns, two 60 mm mortars and two imitation of the domestically produced Type 52 57 mm recoilless guns.

At the regimental level, there is an artillery company directly under the regiment, equipped with four ZIS-3 76-mm cannons and 120-mm mortars, and at the brigade level above the regimental level, there are also artillery battalions directly under it, equipped with 12 A-19 122-mm cannon howitzers and 12 AKs in the so-called artillery, and domestically produced 63-type 107-mm 12-barrel rocket launchers.

At the division level, the firepower is even stronger, and the artillery regiment under it is equipped with 48 D-20 152-mm cannon howitzers, 24 132-mm famous rocket launchers Katyusha, and 64 160-mm mortars, but at the army level, it is even more frenzied, with 24 B-4M1931 203-mm howitzers alone, 72 D-20 152-mm cannon howitzers, 48 Katyusha rocket launchers, and 48 A-19 122-mm cannon howitzers。

In addition to the outrageous array of artillery, Ouyang Yu also formed a tank division, two mechanized divisions, and a fighter group, attack aircraft group, and bomber squadron.

The tank division is equipped with the famous T-34-76 1943 tank of the former Soviet Union, coupled with the M3 half-track armored personnel carrier and SU-122 and SU-152 self-propelled guns, nearly 300 tanks, 200 armored vehicles and self-propelled guns of the tank division. Twenty-eight thousand soldiers together formed Ouyang Yu's armored assault vanguard.

The two mechanized ones are not as flashy as the above, the main tanks are the BT-7 fast tank and the T-35 five-turret heavy tank, which has the title of Land Cruiser. The T-35 heavy tank was designed by the Soviet Union at the N174 locomotive manufacturing plant named after Marshal Voroshilov and was mass-produced by the Kharkov steam locomotive factory in 1933. It began to be installed in the Soviet Red Army in 1936 and ceased production in 1939. In total, more than 60 vehicles were produced.

The T-35 tank had a combat full weight of fifty tons and a crew of up to eleven people. Like the British Independence, it had five turrets, but the five turrets were arranged in two tiers. The main turret is the central turret, and on the top floor, it is equipped with a 122 mm howitzer of 24 x caliber carrying 90 rounds and a 7.62 mm machine gun. There are four turrets on the lower floor. Each turret was armed with a 37-mm rapid-fire gun, with two small turrets located in the front right and rear left of the main turret, and two smaller turrets in front left and rear right. The advantage of this arrangement is that the firepower and weight distribution are relatively balanced, but except for the main turret, which can rotate 360°, the other four turrets only have a directional firing range of 165°~235°.

Thanks to its powerful engine and magic alchemy technology, the T-35's movement speed and armor have been greatly enhanced, the tank has a maximum travel speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and the thickness of the frontal armor has reached the level of 120 mm of homogeneous steel armor. And with the protection of the magic shield, the T-35 multi-turret heavy tank with powerful firepower and indestructible has become a real Land Cruiser under Ouyang Yu's modification.

The number of tanks in the division was one and a half hundred and fifty, and the BT-7 accounted for two-thirds. The number of M3 half-track armored vehicles and deformed vehicles was almost three hundred, and there were no self-propelled guns, but there were one hundred and twenty towed guns and five hundred trucks towed by trucks.

Both tank and armored divisions are units of a real nature. The same is true for the Air Force, with the La-5 and modified La-7 fighters. The wooden structure is mainly a single-seat, single-engine propeller fighter, which was one of the main fighters of the Soviet Union in the middle and late stages of World War II. It was considered to be the best fighter in the Soviet Union at that time, and one of the most outstanding main models in the world at that time, the main armament was four 20 mm cannons at the nose and wing roots, and 150 kg of bombs or eight 127 mm aviation rockets could be mounted under the wings, or 24 57 mm rockets could be mounted for ground attack。

The attack aircraft is a mixed metal and wood Il-2 attack aircraft, Il-2 (Russian: Ил-2, English: il-2) during the Soviet-German war during the Soviet Union's main attack aircraft, widely used in low-altitude fire support to the army, successfully developed by Ilyushin in 1939. In 1941, it began to equip troops, and by the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, there were 249 aircraft, and a total of 36,000 aircraft were produced during the war, accounting for one-third of the Soviet Union's aircraft production, and more than 10,000 were lost during the war. Single-seat (improved in 1942 is two-seater with two drivers), equipped with a 1750 (one said 1600) horsepower engine, the maximum speed of 420km/h, the maximum range of 765 (some say 510) km, equipped with 20 (later changed to 23) mm guns, 2 7.62 mm machine guns (in 1942, the two-seat model was equipped with 12.7 mm machine guns), can carry 4-8 RS-82 rockets and 400-600 kg bombs, the cockpit, engine and fuel tank are all armored protection. The Soviets called it a "flying tank", and the Germans called it the "Black Death".

Ouyang Yu made small improvements to this fighter, increasing the engine power, making the flight faster, it could carry a bomb, two 20 mm cannons and two machine guns were all replaced with 23 mm cannons, and it had a magic shield to increase protection.

The type of bomber used is the Soviet Pe8 four-engine heavy bomber, crew: eleven people, range: 4,700 kilometers, maximum speed: 438 kilometers per hour, maximum ceiling 8,400 kilometers, armament: two 20mm guns, two 7.62mm machine guns, two 12.7mm machine guns, can carry 4000 kg of bombs, if an airfield is established at the edge of the endless forest, its bombing radius can completely cover most of the endless forest. Put a large area, including the Elven royal capital, within the bombing radius of this bomber.

The 300,000 high-morale new troops of the Kadesh Kingdom marched into the coalition camp one after another under the curious eyes of the generals and soldiers of the Western Alliance, in order to ensure the supply of these 300,000 people. Thousands of heavy trucks towed artillery and loaded with ammunition. In the Turani grassland, a car dragon was formed that could not be seen at a glance, which was also the inevitable result of the industrial explosion of the Kadesh Kingdom under Ouyang Yu's painstaking management, for this counterattack Ouyang Yu almost emptied the energy of all production workers, three shifts, twenty-four hours of overtime, and finally prepared the required qiē before the war.

"Your Highness Catherine, it is a pleasure to see you again. Prince Terry, who was dressed in the uniform and armor of ordinary soldiers, and Ouyang Yu, who was wearing a well-tailored Soviet women's military uniform, greeted each other.

Having learned the lesson of being captured by Ingrid last time, the generals of the coalition army took off their ornate and cumbersome armor and put on the uniforms of ordinary soldiers, so that if a similar incident happened among millions of soldiers. If you want to catch people with clothes, it will be difficult to find them, and they will all wear the same clothes, and who will they go to? The undead will know which one is the soldier and which is the general, and they will go one by one to find the Year of the Monkey and the month of the Monkey, even if a million people stand still.

Ouyang Yu made it clear to Prince Terry and the generals of the coalition that this counteroffensive would be the main offensive force of the Kadesh Kingdom Army, but this kind of thing that could be recorded in the history books Prince Terry and the generals didn't want to be snatched away like this, so they refused Ouyang Yu's request, but they didn't dare to offend her and said euphemistically: The Kadesh Kingdom Army needs to rest after a long journey, and if the coalition forces can't attack it within three days, let the Kadesh Kingdom Army try.

Ouyang Yu agreed indifferently, one was that the Kadesh Kingdom Army really needed to rest for two days. The other is that she has already seen the position of the elven army, and the elven version of the trench system of the bomb fruit and thorn belt is not something that the Western Alliance Army has the ability to break through in a short period of time, so Ouyang Yu is ready to watch a good show.

Two days later, the 1.2 million men of the Western Coalition were all ready, because of the proximity to the kingdom of Kadesh. The Western Coalition used the Napoleonic Bronze Cannons earlier than the other two coalition armies, but they did not use them intensively, but scattered more than 400 Napoleonic Bronze Cannons on a front of hundreds of kilometers. Only two guns per kilometer are not enough.

After more than ten minutes of sparse artillery preparation, the first wave of 600,000 human soldiers lined up in a dense formation and launched an attack on the elven army at the same time. There was no main direction of attack, but planned to push flat, and Ouyang Yu, who was looking at the rear, shook his head.

The elven soldiers hiding in the trenches suffered almost no losses under artillery fire. When the shelling stopped, they all straightened up, some picked up the elven longbow and prepared to shoot, and some silently recited magic spells to prepare for magic.

At a distance of one kilometer, the elves' magic began to attack, and a large number of fireballs fell into the middle of the human soldiers, and after the elven magicians released their magic, they crouched down and recited the spell again, and when the next magic was ready, they stood up and released it, and then squatted down to prepare, this obscene practice would definitely be despised by other elves in the past, but now no one will say anything, even digging the earth and repairing trenches, which would have been considered a great shame by the elves before, have done it, and it is nothing to squat down to protect yourself and recite a spell, because of the endless new weapons and new tactics of human beings, the elves have unconsciously changed a lot in order to protect themselves to the greatest extent.

The human soldiers in the first few rows pushed a heavy shield cart to defend against the fireballs, this shield cart had four wheels, two meters long and three meters wide, and the front and left sides were wrapped with thirty millimeters thick iron plates, which could effectively resist the attacks of the first and second level magic and most of the elves' ranged weapons, the inside was empty, pushed by eight sturdy soldiers inside, and there were five shooting holes on the front, and five soldiers could shoot outward with crossbow arrows in their hands.

There are constantly shield carts that are destroyed, but there are new shield carts behind them, and a lot of preparations have been made for this counterattack on Prince Terry, and thousands of shield carts have been prepared for this kind of shield carts dedicated to defending against magic, and thousands of shield carts are like a movable city wall, and the human soldiers are all hiding behind these shield carts in columns, as if the infantry on the earth is working together to slowly approach the position of the elven army.
