Four hundred and ninetieth eight chapters can't stand it
Chapter 498 Can't hold back
Because the opponent's armored division was very annoying, the troops on the Eastern Front hoped to have more air support to reinforce themselves to break the deadlock.\\
.com starts\\After discussion, everyone agreed that the battle in the middle lane is easier than the battle in the western front.
Due to the tight war on the Eastern Front and the heavy casualties, it agreed to fight the few reinforcements on the Eastern Front.
Two days later, the stagnant battle started again. This battle was not just a pressure-based attack like the last battle. Relying on the first line of defense that had been taken, the three fronts extended to the Australian and American coalition forces into a concentrated firepower to attack a certain point, with this point as the center area, breaking through and expanding the results to both sides.
On the battlefield of the Eastern Front, after learning from the initial experience, the troops attacking the Eastern Front no longer dispersed their troops for a full attack, but focused their firepower to attack in several directions. In the general direction of the attack, the unit firepower was concentrated, such as tank artillery, armored vehicle artillery, rocket launcher, mortar, heavy artillery, and all the ones that could be used were used. The target that was suspected to be hidden in the attack direction was to concentrate firepower and fire.
Especially those old Australian tanks that can be used as mobile turrets. Once they find this guy, they will kill themselves in hiding in the hidden place and smash it with shells, which will give it more chances to fire!
Such tactics are very wasteful of ammunition, but they save the lives of soldiers. The Australian military's firepower points are wiped out under such an indiscriminate saturation attack. Due to the loss of firepower support, Australian infantry can only be shot or surrendered one by one under the concentrated firepower of Chinese soldiers.
At the same time, as the battle on the southern Australian line has tended to regroup and rest and accumulate momentum, several aerial turret fire support aircraft sent as test aircraft were sent to the eastern line for fire reinforcements.
As soon as this thing arrives on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, it will exert its powerful firepower advantage. The Australian military defense line, which lacks air defense, is the best exercise field for air turrets. Various targets on the position become targets when various types of artillery fire on the aircraft.
Especially for the 100-mm caliber artillery, this thing has strong firepower and fast fire speed. When the aircraft is flying, the recoil of the one-man cannon does not have much impact on the plane when flying. It is installed in the planing and hard work.
As a result, after the artillery fired continuously, the plane gradually generated a certain lateral deviation force due to the recoil. From the ground, it looked like the plane was running farther and farther away, as if it was escaping from the battlefield.
Under this powerful firepower pressure, the Australian and American coalition forces have gaps in all defense lines. The emergence of several important gaps has forced Clemant to mobilize troops from other places to fill these gaps, which is exactly what Xiong Puliang wants to see. If you are not afraid of you being mobilized, you are afraid that you will not move.
As long as you move, it is better to stand outside the fortification than to hide inside the fortification!
For some important gaps, the Australian army can only invest more troops to counterattack. Intent to praise these places to ensure the consistency and integrity of the entire front, but the meaning of counterattack is to attack. This defense is already full of difficulties under the opponent's strong firepower, let alone attack?
A large number of Australian soldiers fell down and became corpses in this counterattack and offensive battle, and Australian tanks became burning scrap iron one by one. The balance of war has gradually tilted towards the Chinese.
As of the evening of April 8, the defense system of the Australian and American coalition forces had been smashed by the China National Team. The Australian troops, which were responsible for defense on the periphery, had been cut into several areas by the China National Team. The Australian troops in most areas could only fight alone and could not organize coordinated combat.
Due to the interference and cut-off of communication, many Australian military heavy firepower scattered in various regions cannot accurately know the shooting targets. More Australian military artillery cannons can only wait foolishly for the target of the Chinese team to appear in front of the self-bow to fire, which greatly weakens its power.
Facing his broken defense line, Clement fell into a trap with no soldiers after investing in the last two reserve teams. It was quite difficult to be attacked on him on both sides at the same time. What was even more difficult was that the enemy troops in three directions did not leave room for attacks on him, especially on the Western Front!
Under the attack of the two main combat divisions of the Expeditionary Army, only a small part of the defense zones are left in dying and stubbornly under attack. //《》.com》//The fall of the outer periphery of the Western Front allows the Chinese army to directly face the most core defense area of the US infantry division, and the closest Chinese soldiers can even clearly observe the US defense positions a few kilometers away through a telescope.
On the afternoon of the 8th, Ye Jian was when the Second Army broke through the periphery of the Australian Army's defense line, the US infantry division finally couldn't help but attack. A US military force attacked an attacking force of the Second Army under the cover of Sherman tanks.
The firefight between the two sides lasted nearly half, and the US military retreated after leaving behind two Sherman tanks and more than 30 bodies, while the Far East Army Group firefighting forces suffered more than 30 casualties, neither side took any advantage.
"Hehe, this American soldier has finally taken action. I thought they would wait until the Australian troops were completely killed before they could collect the body." Wang Junfeng pulled away his Feng Ji buckle, hoping that the anger in his heart would be more easily emitted along with the heat in his body.
"Commander, this Clemment is cruel enough. It has only begun to use the US military to fight now. If it were someone else, he would have been unable to hold back and put him on the battlefield." The Chief of Staff said with some praise and half admiration.
"I don't think so! On the surface, Crement is the highest commander of the Australian and American coalition forces on the Eastern Front, but Crement is estimated to have no ability to command the US troops at all. Otherwise, the US infantry division would not have robbed the core defense of the Australian Third Armored Division as soon as it came up."
With the destruction of the Third Armored Division, the Chinese army obtained more relevant information from the prisoners of the workers. Only then did Wang Junfeng find out that there were such grudges and revenge within the Australian and American coalition forces.
"The US military has been slow to take action, either Crement cannot command the US military at all, or the US military commander wants to take advantage of the moment when we are fighting with the Australian military. The small abacus is very good!"
"What is really cruel is the commander of the US infantry division, the US commander. He can sit still when he sees the heavy casualties of his Allies until he comes out to attack one of us at a critical moment, catch him off guard, and use the corpses of his allies to build his own path to success and fame. This guy is the most cruel."
"Your Excellency Commander, then what you mean is???????"
"Order all troops to closely monitor the every move of the US military during the battle!"
As Wang Junfeng expected, the next morning, after the US military tested the fire on the Western Front and the Second Army, it suddenly dispatched a regiment-level or above troops on the Eastern Front, and under the cover of forty Sherman tanks, it launched an attack on the Central Team on the Eastern Front.
Although there were some preparations, due to the large number of US troops and tanks, the Chinese offensive troops that were about to attack and defend against combat were unable to fight on both ends. The Chinese troops in the attack direction quickly retreated. The US military took advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle and reconnected some of the broken Australian defense lines and gathered many remaining troops.
Although the US military's attack was only a small test, the result was only a small victory in the first battle. However, the symbolic significance was greater than the actual significance. The most important thing was that a shot of a heart-warming shot was injected under the psychological shadow of the successive failures of the Australian military, which made the Australian military in despair much excited a lot.
Harris, commander of the US Infantry Division, stood next to a pile of just burned Sherman tanks, watching the Sherman tank destroyed by the Chinese.
The tank was hit by a high-temperature cluster weapon and detonated inside. The fine high-temperature heat flow was a little vaguely invisible after the strong explosion. However, from the descriptions of other soldiers, Harris could still confirm that the weapon that destroyed the tank was the kind of weapon he had heard at a father's party when he was in China.
Harris' father was the head of weapons research at a large arsenal in the United States. At a party, Harris heard about a weapon produced by the Chinese. Although he did not see the real thing, in his father's mouth, Harris still knew some of the special properties of this weapon produced by the Chinese, and inferred that the power and function of this weapon are more advanced than the Bazukka currently equipped by the US military.
Since then, Harris has begun to pay attention to the Chinese team. Even though China and the United States have begun to gradually get into evil, Harris can still hear a lot of news and content about China from many ways.
However, most of these contents and news are just news about people's livelihood and economy. For the military and some more core secret things, they either have only a little understanding of them or they are full of nonsense.
Harris was wronged by these Chinese who provided the news. Putting aside the Chinese who had been away from their hometowns for many years during the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese in the United States at that time were mainly political leaders who fled to the United States with Jiang Ruiyuan.
Most of these people are domestic middle-class elites who play politics, or family tycoons who run away with money. How many people are truly familiar with the internal details of the Chinese army?
But even so, Harris was still harshly warned by his father that he should not take it lightly when facing the Chinese team. His father's arsenal obtained some samples for research through some technical means. During the study, Harris's father was surprised to find that this rocket launcher weapon, known as the Fire Fist by the Chinese, could easily penetrate the US Sherman tank within range.
Moreover, after several live-fire shootings, it was also found that the Chinese weapon was light and easy to carry by infantry, the launch operation was simple and easy to learn and master, and the shooting accuracy was much higher than that of Bazouka. In the face of this weapon, Sherman was no match for it at all.
At the same time, Harris's father also told him earnestly that although he had never seen the Xianu tank that dominated the European battlefield, he learned through his college classmate Harris's father in other arsenals that the tanks produced by the Chinese are better than any main battle tank currently equipped by the United States, Britain, France, Russia and other countries.
Whether in terms of single motor power, armor thickness, material hardness, unit fuel consumption, speed, gun caliber and power, the tanks produced by the Chinese can surpass the mainstream battle tanks currently equipped by various countries.
Even the German Tiger King tank and the Soviet heavy tank can only barely fight against armor defense with their thick armor, but there is no possibility of comparison in terms of maneuver power.
To this end, from the day Harris accepted the battle in Australia, he decided to be cautious before he could obtain more information and information from his opponents.
Although this caution has to some extent damaged the enthusiasm of his soldiers to seek war, Harris has become more convinced of this kind of thought after more and more information collected from the Australian military.
The two armored divisions of the Australian Army were easily eaten by the Chinese. Those were two armored divisions! No matter how old those tanks were, they were still a light tank that could block the firepower of ordinary anti-tanks. Even if they were placed there for the Chinese to attack, they had to aim and fire one by one!
Harris's idea is the same as the armored forces in the infantry division, because they could not believe that tanks could have such efficient combat capabilities before they had seen the devastating massacre scenes of Chinese tank troops.
This is like a misunderstanding of thinking. Under preconceived ideas, he always uses the things he is familiar with. This is a misunderstanding of the constraints arising from preconceived thoughts. Although Harris did not despise the Chinese team in his heart, he could only use the Sherman-type tanks around him to compare and fight with the old tanks equipped by the Australian Army.
Without enough real information, he could not form a terrifying enough picture in his mind. What kind of massacre scene would it be to fight with old Australian tanks with tanks that were more than he was familiar with for twenty years.
"General, the Australian Army's Crement recommended army called to ask if our army will continue to attack eastward to expand the results?" Just as Harris was observing the destroyed Sherman tank, a voice interrupted his continued observation.
"Tell General Clemant that we will continue to attack eastward and rescue the armored division that was being divided and surrounded by the Chinese." Harris patted the ashes stained on his hands and replied lightly.
Several Chinese and Chinese main battle tanks are starting a warmer in the morning light to prepare for today's battle. The low and powerful turbocharged diesel engine is working at a constant speed. The driver on the tank is listening to the roar of the engine to check for any abnormal noises before the engine failure. The gunner and loader are receiving shells for today's battle from the ammunition truck next to him.
"All notice, an hour ago, the US military appeared on our offensive route. Not only were there a large number of infantry and US tanks appeared. The regiment headquarters ordered our vehicles to increase the number of armored bullets and armored bullets, and set out to meet the enemy in twenty minutes!!" The tank company commander put down his communication headsets and shouted loudly to the tank crew around him.
The company commander's call made the whole tank company excited all of a sudden. It was also boring to do too much to bully the Australian military's thin old tanks. It was also human to change a new opponent to make yourself comfortable.
"Guller, it's up to you today. We'll fight it well later!" After the driver finally checked that there was no arsenic leak outside the car, the first thing he said was to encourage the gunner.
In the battle two days ago, the gunner performed quite well, but they were all dead objects that hit fixed targets. What they would have to face later is not fixed targets, but tanks that could move and counterattack.
"Don't worry, the commander, please help me use your Zhouguan mirror to observe the targets around you and discover the next target as quickly as possible!" The gunner patted his chest and signaled that he would never let the commander down, and at the same time made his own request to the commander.
On the tank, only the captain has a perimeter mirror that can observe the surroundings. In normal combat, the captain reports the direction data, and the gunner controls the turret and artillery to rotate and aim and shoot. When destroying this target, the captain will observe the next target and report the position and distance data of the next target as soon as possible after annihilation of the previous target. The gunner adjusts the turret and gun body while adjusting the turret and gun body.
The loader can also use this time to quickly load. The entire process not only requires close cooperation from three people, but also requires the driver to avoid more stably while driving. This is the close cooperation of a small group. Whether it is fast or not, whether it is accurate is the result that all the passengers of this car can achieve with the joint efforts of each other.
"Company Commander, why didn't the Second Company follow?" Seeing that the tanks of the Second Company were not moving two thousand meters away from him, the tank commander asked why the fellow villagers in the Second Company did not follow up and participate in the battle.
"The second company fought a bit fierce yesterday. One tank was scrapped, and two tanks were pressed on anti-tank mines, causing serious damage to the transmission mechanism. Three tanks had big or small problems. More than half of the tanks could not fight, so the regiment decided to let them have a good rest.
"The company commander explained the current situation of the Second Company without any concealment. His commentary made all the listeners feel a little regretful.
"The company commander, do you know how many tanks the American devils have?" Another voice rushed into the public frequency.
"In the news from the regiment headquarters, there should be more than one battalion of tanks."
"It's been sent! When this battle is over, the stars on our turret can increase a lot!" A loud laughter came from the speaker of the communicator.
"It depends on whether you have the luck." The teasing words brought bursts of laughter. Amid this laughter and the roar of the engine, the tanks crushed the Australian soil and drove towards the direction of the US tanks appearing.
