Chapter 1350 Blood and Fire 1
"Lynx has entered the attack position. The Germans are gathering 5 kilometers in front of the position. Should we call for artillery attack?" Under a camouflage net, a Ermine wheeled tank destroyer was observing Germany in the distance from the bunker.
Legion, there
At least two companies of German troops are gathering. The dust raised by tanks and various vehicles almost blocks the entire field of vision. Tanks and vehicles are looming in the smoke screen. There is no doubt that the Germans are attacking. Our own howitzers are on their own.
As if 7 thousand
Meters, the direct distance between the artillery and the enemy is almost at the optimal range of the artillery. These flexible vehicles equipped with the new 75mml48 cannon have just arrived in Iran recently. These 10-wheeled tanks are faster than their predecessors
They are fast, have better maneuverability, better protection performance, and smaller frontal projection. They are the eyes of the rear artillery and the assassins on the battlefield. They hide on the flanks of the position, like a hidden arrow on the only path for the opponent's attack.
The Germans started their attack very carefully. They used armored vehicles and tanks to repeatedly test the firepower deployment of the Chinese defense line. They paid attention to keeping a distance and moved laterally outside our range to attract our fire. Sporadic exchanges of fire broke out between the two sides, and the hidden
From time to time, the anti-tank guns attacked targets that had just entered the range. The Germans tried to pass repeated tests.
to determine the position of the Chinese anti-artillery, and China also lured the opponent into its encirclement by appropriately exposing its firepower points. This test did not last too long. After the last test, the main force of the German army, which was ready to go, finally set off.
. Their front is very wide, and their troops are relatively dispersed. They seem to have taken advantage of China's weakness of insufficient troops.
"The other party began to launch a frontal attack. There seemed to be equipment similar to rocket launchers in the rear, and they deployed some wheeled combat vehicles on the flanks." Bobcat once again sent the information from the front line back. The Germans seemed to know that China would not send precious
Tanks were deployed on the front line. So this time their Weasel tanks also moved with the tanks. The tanks were slow and steady, while the Weasel tanks were agile and fast.
At 1200 meters, 1000 meters, and 800 meters, a Chinese gunner loaded a 75mm armor-piercing round into the gun bore, and another gunner turned the handle to point the gun at the connection between the turret and the body of the No. 4 tank in the distance. They were waiting for the opportunity,
best fire
The distance is about 500 meters. At this time, their biggest enemies are not those slightly clumsy tanks, but those tanks equipped with mk103 30mm machine guns. These guys with extremely fast firing speed and quick reactions can easily deal with civil structures.
of fortifications.
Waves of piercing screams rose from behind the German attacking troops. They were German heavy mortars. They first attacked the gun emplacements exposed during the probing operation, and then formed a rolling barrage as the tanks advanced.
.Powerful 150mm mortar
The artillery shell hit a nearby artillery piece. Like a heavy hammer, it smashed the artillery piece and the surrounding crew to pieces. Under the cover of the artillery piece, the German half-track vehicles began to put down the infantry. At this time, the distance between the two sides was already close.
When we get close to 500 meters, it’s time to fire!
"Fire!" Orders sounded from various gun positions. The artillery less than half a meter above the ground spurted out deadly flames. The hot shells penetrated into the tank on the opposite side in an instant. They were showing off their power half a minute ago.
The German tank instantly tilted to one side like a wild dog with its back broken. However, more tanks and infantry fighting vehicles escaped this sudden attack and quickly launched a counterattack.
The firepower of both sides was quickly activated in a very short period of time. The firepower points composed of combat anti-aircraft guns deployed in a circle breathed deadly flames in all directions. The roar of machine guns and artillery resounded throughout the battlefield. The infantry behind the tanks began to form company units.
unfolded, the German infantry surrounded the machine gun and mortar units
They deployed their own offensive. They used machine guns to suppress the opponent's machine gun fire, and used mortars to deal with the anti-tank guns. The submachine gunners accompanied the tanks and armored vehicles and bravely braved the rain of bullets to advance, because they knew that at close range, there would be a
This kind of armor-piercing rocket poses a fatal threat to these land gods of war.
The assault guns also quickly followed up. Relying on their low profile and powerful 105mm grenades, they attacked exposed firepower points from a long distance. Although China had an advantage in the confrontation between anti-war artillery and tanks, the three-dimensional attack by the Germans
Under the firepower, the overall situation is still not optimistic. Balls of flames rise from time to time in the position.
started. Direct and indirect artillery shells of various calibers were fired at various supporting points. Accompanied by dense explosions, one artillery piece was destroyed, leaving a deep gray-black pit and some broken parts on the ground. The Germans
After concentrating its efforts to open a gap, it did not rush to develop in depth but turned to the two wings to expand the breakthrough.
As the armored forces advanced, German attack planes once again flew over the battlefield. Their altitude was so high that their team emblems could be clearly seen on the ground. These planes were not on the battlefield about to break through.
They stayed on the ground but thought about rushing to the rear, because just now, they received a report from a reconnaissance plane that a group of rocket launchers in the distance was heading for the launch site.
The German attack seemed to be going very smoothly. They opened a long and narrow attack channel through which they could quickly maneuver forward. The frontal defense had been shattered, and the clouds of fire and deafening explosions rising behind the enemy seemed to be
It also announced the destruction of the opponent's long-range support firepower. Under a good situation, the Germans finally decided to rush forward quickly. The originally wide front was quickly closed, and all troops began to enter the opponent's depth through this narrow breakthrough. The Bobcats on the flanks remained loyal.
Performing their mission, they recorded the progress of the German attack in detail. When they saw the German self-propelled howitzers and rocket launchers appearing in their field of vision, a radio wave was sent to the distance with information that could turn the entire battle situation. Bobcat
and his comrades began to prepare for the attack, and the thunder of counterattack also began to brew in front of the German armored forces. The Foxbat fighter jets that appeared from the distant edge of the sky were hovering in the sky like the god of death, but this time they were not executing an air attack
The mission is to attack the ground!
The first thing that started was the various wheeled tanks ambushing the flanks. They witnessed the defeat of the friendly forces on the frontal defense line and could not bear to take action just for now. The German assault force was very powerful, but the follow-up force. The German troops on both wings and Hu
Bei Group is different, they do not have enough
Enough mechanized infantry accompanied the advance. In order to ensure the intensity of the attack, the forces originally used to consolidate the breakthrough were even strengthened to the front line. At this moment, the German Legion, which had just punched the body with a combination of punches and was leaning forward, was attacked from behind.
The blow!
These high-speed vehicles like light cavalry rushed out of the original semi-buried bunker. The high muzzles shredded the camouflage net on the top. Artillery of various calibers were aimed at the front. Their target was 4 kilometers away.
Slowly moving German artillery and baggage troops
.At this moment, some officers with a keen sense of smell have realized that the German headquarters' estimate of the number of Chinese troops was biased, but it was already too late. Even if they had follow-up troops behind them, they could not save the troops who were on the verge of destruction.
rear team.
Like locusts, the shells flew towards the German self-propelled howitzers that were turning hard to prepare to level the artillery for counterattack. These howitzers, which were huge, awkward to turn, and lacked even the most basic protection, fired a trembling shot, and the huge shells fell on
About 50 meters from the side of a wheeled battlefield, these artillery pieces don’t even have direct sighting equipment! They have never been so close as they are today.
Facing the enemy, the panicked Germans began to use all the weapons they could find to fight back, including howitzers, mortars and even machine guns and rifles! However, these things had no effect on armored vehicles impacting at high speed! Using 75mm guns and 6-pounders
After the cannon smashed several accompanying 30mm self-propelled anti-aircraft guns into a pile of scrap metal, there was nothing left to stop the Chinese Legion's attack!
Powerful rocket launchers are still a threat. But this threat is to the Germans themselves, not to the enemy. With dozens or even dozens of rocket launchers, they can move around to avoid the opponent's attacks. They are just mobile ammunition depots. As long as
A 30mm incendiary bomb can ignite them! The clumsy tank could not escape the fate of being hit. A 57mm shell accurately hit the 150mm rocket launcher on the top of a half-track vehicle. In an instant,
The entire tank was like a volcanic eruption, spewing deadly flames and shrapnel in all directions. One after another, ignited rockets flew out from the bent rails, flying sideways, vertically and even rolling. These shells fell.
among nearby vehicles and crowds
Once again, it caused horrific damage. Violent explosions came from the German army. Even the ground trembled slightly. The German army, which had been blown to pieces by its own shells, was already on the verge of collapse without China having to do anything!
Subsequent attacks from machine guns and rapid-fire cannons accelerated the process. The Germans did not even have a chance to organize a decent resistance before being beaten to pieces by fierce artillery fire and tank assaults. The German tank troops on the front were also confused.
Unfortunately, before they even had time to rescue them, the god of death from the sky used a big net to cover them, and with one move,
The anti-tank submunition with shaped charge detached from the diving aircraft. The pylon was slightly raised, and a 250kg submunition fell from the sky. Then during the descent, the projectile body fell off, revealing the densely packed small bombs inside. Then these
Bombs called devil eggs flew like rain into the already somewhat messy German armored forces below!
A flame burst out of the engine compartment at the rear of a moving tank, followed by the harsh sound of metal breaking and twisting, and clouds of black smoke emerged from the engine compartment, although the tank crews quickly extinguished the open flames with fire extinguishers.
, but it is a pity that this tank can no longer move. In this case, it is simply a pipe dream to replace the engine. However, at this time, the commander of this tank is still alive, and the commander next to him is still alive.
The unlucky guy next to him was completely doomed. This armor-piercing round hit the tail compartment at the rear of the turret. The metal jet with a temperature of several thousand degrees easily penetrated the 15mm thick armor on the top and ignited the shell in the tail compartment.
The energy generated by the exploding shell was like a big hand that overturned the entire turret. The several-ton turret even flew into the air more than ten meters and landed more than ten meters away from the tank wreckage!
The blow from the sky not only caused the German tank troops to lose some valuable vehicles, but also disrupted their next plan. No matter whether the Germans wanted to continue the attack or turn around and eat those guys who dared to kick the tiger's butt, because tanks
The troops were in chaos, and the infantry suffered heavy losses. After the first wave of anti-tank bombings, those damn twin demons also
Waves of high-explosive bombs were dropped against the infantry. And this was not the most critical moment. Just when the Germans had just gathered up the formation disrupted by the bombers, the Chinese tank group that appeared in the distance once again made the German
The troops were on the verge of destruction. They had lost supporting firepower, some self-propelled anti-tank guns and lacked infantry. The German armored forces had no confidence to compete with their opponents!
At this time, the German attack planes that were hovering in the sky had already been driven to nowhere, and the situation on the entire battlefield was reversed within ten minutes! The German armored forces, which had been advancing rapidly just now, were now on the verge of destruction.
On the front, the Chinese armored group launched a charge, while in the back, Shanmao and his "brothers" who had just finished cleaning up the follow-up troops were stabbing from behind like a sharp sword!
"While they are still in chaos, rush over!" The Germans were busy preparing to redeploy their defenses, but the Chinese howitzers, which had been silent for a long time, did not give the Germans time to regroup. One after another, 155mm grenades drew a line in the air.
A deadly arc flew towards the German troops who were about to huddle up. This time, China used artillery shells equipped with radio proximity fuzes. All the artillery shells were set to explode at a certain height in the air, and almost all the energy generated by the explosives was used to push them.
Moving shrapnel, the flowers of death blooming in the air wantonly harvested the lives of German soldiers! The flying shrapnel flew to the ground with the roar of death, taking away all the lives that lacked armor protection, and even individual tanks were destroyed by a blast.
get close
When the bullet hit, countless fragments hit the skirt panel on the side of the car body, punching small holes in the thin steel plate. What's more, the steel plate was directly knocked away and then hit the side suspension equipment hard!
Then the entire tank was paralyzed.
The Chinese Army's attacks were well connected. Just when the infantry was blown to pieces by artillery shells falling from the sky, and just when the German tank troops tried their best to adjust their deployment to prepare for the next impact, the wheeled combat units in the rear
The car had already entered the attack range. 800 meters away, the Bobcat made a quick stop to stabilize the car.
The car body then slightly turned the muzzle and aimed at a reversing No. 4 tank. The tank was busy reversing behind a bunker, preparing to resist the frontal charge. Didn't it know that it sent its most vulnerable part to the back?
Under the muzzle of the assassin's gun, the muzzle flash flashed, and the No. 4 tank in the distance turned into a burning iron box.
Chapter completed!
