Chapter 1699 aircraft reconnaissance

The flares shone the battlefield area into a whole day, but the illumination does not last long, at most only a few dozen seconds to one or two minutes. When the flares' effect fails, the whole night returns to darkness.

It’s not that the special forces did not have flares in their hands, because there was no need for this. The 700 people in the stand-up team were all broken, causing different lethality, but they completed the task. Not only did they see the appearance of these tanks clearly, but they also tested some situations of the tanks. For example, four machine guns could not cover all positions, with certain dead corners, and the position of the machine gun was the focus of protection. Many soldiers directly attached their bodies to the machine guns and bombed the machine guns, but the tank still did not have many problems. Apart from the lack of one machine gun, the other difference was not big. Instead, the tracks and fuel tanks were weak links. As long as they found a way to attack, they should be effective.

The 700 forward team has died to the point of death, and they should withdraw. I think the explosion was a little bit loud, which has already alarmed the US military dozens of kilometers away. As long as the US military sends a large force over, they will have nowhere to hide. The rear team does not cause much damage, and finally records the combat effectiveness and appearance of the tank. As long as they report this information, it will be a great achievement. Next, the senior management will have to judge it. They just need to execute orders.

The Japanese attack team retreated, but the US military still did not recover. The sudden attack was still so fierce and sudden. Who knows if there is any follow-up? For the US military, in the dark, there seemed to be countless eyes and enemies looking at them. They must be vigilant to prevent another sneak attack.

The highly nervous US military made continuous mistakes and even several owls flew by, which would cause waves of tension, and even some were fired. Although there was no attack, the machine guns kept sounding, and machine gunners fired bullets from time to time.

The chaos lasted for a long time, and for about an hour, Delvede ordered the messenger, and with the cooperation of the lower-level officers, the team was rectified. The 8,000 tanks were no longer divided into 8 different parts, but into three parts. Each part had about 3,000 tanks, forming a large circle, protecting the periphery, and the closest place was more than 20 meters. Any attack was enough to react.

In more than an hour, Delverde not only reorganized the troops, but also figured out the losses. According to precise statistics, the tanks hit were 650, which was caused by a 700-stand team. One person was dealing with one, and in a very close position, the tank could not protect it at all. In fact, marching in the dark and the lights could not be turned on, and the tanks were almost impossible to find the enemy. The forward team used the shortest time to find the suitable tank. There were less than 50 people unlucky, either they were found without them or they were shot dead by stray bullets. There were about ten people, and two people gathered onto a tank.

However, 650 vehicles were hit, and very few of them were injured in the end. Most of them were minor injuries, and even minor injuries that did not affect the function and performance of the tank. However, those who suffered heavy damage and were damaged in total, 78 tanks were lost, all of which were severely damaged, and the others were slightly injured. Spare parts and some completely damaged tanks were replaced, and 62 were finally repaired successfully, which was equivalent to only 16 lost. This result made Delvede relax, but when he saw the next loss, his eyes tightened slightly.

The losses of personnel were not small, with more than 300 people killed and more than 3,000 injuries, most of which were seriously injured. 30 kilograms of explosives may not cause the tank to be severely damaged, but through armor, the shock wave of the bomb can still affect the inside of the tank. Tanks of this era do not have the so-called shock absorption and shock wave design. Once the shock wave and vibration are too large, even if the armor has no effect, people inside will be severely injured. If the luck is good, they will just be hit on the head. If the luck is bad, it is not uncommon to die if it hits something.

The more than 500 tanks under attack suffered losses of more than 300 personnel, and only more than 300 people died directly. Most of them were injured and unconscious. God knows whether there are any sequelae when they wake up. Even if most of the tanks are intact, they can be repaired, but some tanks lack manpower.

There are six members on each tank, 4 machine gunners and 2 drivers. The 650 damaged tanks have 3,000 casualties, which is equivalent to about 5 people on average in each vehicle. The casualties are not small. Among the most unlucky, all six of them have died. The extreme number of these are the smallest. The wide body of the tank can effectively slow down the power of the explosion. As long as it is not too unlucky, it will only be slightly injured at most. This is also the real reason why most tanks can move at present. The Japanese teams do not know that they have actually suffered heavy damage to 650 tanks. If this is on the battlefield, the speed of these 650 tanks that can still move will be much lower, and the possibility of being hit by artillery fire will also greatly increase.

Of course, Delvede could not allow this situation to continue. There were two drivers on the tank, and he randomly drew hundreds of people and barely drove the tank. Since the opponent's attack was so sharp, it was impossible to continue waiting and he had to leave immediately.

Although the situation is serious, and even more than 650 vehicles have suffered a huge blow, it is also the final result. This makes Delverde, who has always been worried, completely relieved and his vigilance towards the Japanese has greatly improved. In the American thinking, there is no concept of standing up team. It is not in a desperate situation. There are still people who are determined to die to blow up the tank. These people are so crazy. When they think of dozens of kilograms of explosives worn by a man, especially if they may attack him, he shuddered. This Japanese is so crazy, it is absolutely impossible to talk about.

8,000 tanks, slightly shrank, guarding the injured and understaffed tanks in the center. It was almost dawn at this time. According to previous practice, Delward would definitely stop, but this time, Delward did not do this. He was still a few dozen kilometers away and arrived at the US camp. Besides, the Japanese came up and attacked. Regardless of how many people came, the tanks must have been exposed. What else can be hidden? The tanks that stayed outside for too long and without infantry protection are easily threatened by such near suicide attacks. Let's talk about it if you arrive at the camp as soon as possible.

Here, when the tank troops accelerated, the information had been transmitted back by radio in advance. Although someone had drawn pictures, the exhausted special forces chose to rest in a hidden place after 15 kilometers away from the combat position and could not continue to come back. They just used descriptions. Fortunately, the description was clear enough and hundreds of radio signals were used to describe the appearance of the tank.

These are enough. Zhang Tianyou can judge through these descriptions that the US military's convoy is a tank and its combat effectiveness is not low. Especially the 30-kilogram strong bombs cannot destroy the outer armor of the tank. This proves that even the artillery has only a few artillery above 100 mm, and is equipped with armor-piercing bombs and directly hitting the tank, which may pose a threat to the tank. This is a big problem. This means that the tank has the ability to pose a threat to the Juno defense position.

However, next, the special forces responsible for staring at the tank convoy reported that after the US military entered the daytime, it did not hide, but continued to operate. In order to obtain more comprehensive information, he decisively sent a reconnaissance plane.

There are at least 20 reconnaissance aircraft to conduct reconnaissance at an altitude of about 5,000 meters. This is the best working distance for optical cameras. In previous flight exercises, their altitude should not be lower than 9,000 meters. With 4 kilometers more, the aircraft looks much smaller and it is not easy to attract attention. The sound of the aircraft engine cannot be transmitted to the ground. However, at a height of four or five thousand meters, people underground can clearly hear the sound of the engine, and the aircraft will also look much bigger.

Just like the US military found aircraft reconnaissance through analysis, Zhang Tianyou also analyzed something from the unique actions of the US armored convoy. China's reconnaissance aircraft should have been exposed. In this case, what should I do? The sooner I figure out the specific appearance of the opponent's tank, I will know what to do next. Use the most appropriate height to clearly capture the photos of the tank. If the traces of explosion can be obtained, it would be better. You can evaluate the protection and combat capabilities of the US tank from the side.

The movement of tanks in this era is a little bit large. Hundreds of tanks are moving forward so drastically, and the smoke is quite eye-catching. After the plane takes off, it flies towards the direction of the tank. Even without ground guidance, it is easy to see the target. Especially because of worry, the tank is concentrated and it becomes even more majestic.

The tanks on the ground can run fast, but they can't run away from the plane. The planes taken off from Juno can fly above the tank in up to 12 minutes. 20 fighters, like flies, hovering above the tank team. Delverde looked at the sky, feeling helpless, but had no choice. Not to mention that there were no anti-aircraft machine guns on hand. Even if there were, they could reach a height of more than 4,000 meters, and only a limited number of machine guns could be obtained. It was difficult to hurt the plane.

Delvede had no choice but to continue to speed up and chose to ignore the reconnaissance planes above. At this moment, the earlier it was, the safest it would be. The US military also attacked the tanks. In order to avoid damage to the tanks, he sent four divisions to contact the US tank convoy at about 8 o'clock in the morning. There were infantry on the periphery and tank protection. The forward team wanted to find another opportunity, but there was almost nothing left. (~^~)
