At this moment, Delvede's mind was very fast. He responded in a short time. He turned around to the adjutant who was following him and asked decisively: "Where is the artillery fire?"

"It is developing!" the adjutant said a little lowly. As the adjutant of the commander of the armored forces, the young Biel was very clear about the armored power. Almost after the opponent's movements, he notified the strategic artillery fire as soon as possible. Unfortunately, even if he notified the strategic artillery fire, the adjutant knew that it was a bit futile. It was very difficult to hit the tanks that had been activated 10 kilometers away with long-range artillery fire. But at this moment, if the armored power was not used, what method would be used to deal with these tanks?

The US military's reaction cannot be considered unhappy. After the tank moved, it began to prepare. Even on the battlefield, artillery fire was always on standby. Unlike the contraction and expansion during the process, it may be enough for dozens of seconds. When the US military emerged, the Japanese side had already poured out the tanks at the fastest level. The passages and other channels were all ready-made. How much time can the tank take from adding up to walking a distance of several dozen meters? From here to the front of the Japanese defense line, or even after reaching a hill in the safe area, it will be about 1 kilometer at most. How long will the tank take even a 20-kilometer kilometer? This is already the limit time.??

That's right, it's only three minutes or 10 kilometers away that can be shot, but it will take one minute to hit it. In other words, the US military may only have three rounds or even two rounds of attack, and even most of the artillery fire cannot react. Not every artillery can hit a distance of 10 kilometers, and not every artillery is on standby time, and when the order is issued, it will react as soon as possible.

In fact, the US military is well-trained. Among the long-range artillery fire, at least 4O cannons were only 3 rounds of attacks. However, at home, there were only 1Ooo more shells. In an emergency, Japan did not have armored power. In the preparation of artillery, there were no armor-piercing shells, all of which were high-explosive shells. This shell had a very small killing effect on tanks. It seemed that a huge attack was actually just a retaliatory attack. Under the attack of US artillery fire, only 12 tanks were slightly injured. This minor injury could not even affect the movement of the tanks. The rest entered the back of the hill intact.

The height of the hill is not very high, and even on the map of the United States, this hill has no reputation. In Japan, it only named the hill as highland 357.66. The reason is very simple. The altitude of this hill is only more than 35o meters, and the relative height is even more than 1o meters, but it is useless. Whether it is a hill with an altitude of more than 0 meters or a hill with a relative height of 15o meters, it is an absolute blind spot when it detours the location behind the mountain.

Even in later generations, the use of artillery cannot threaten, and even if missiles can hit, the cost is too high. It cannot be used to use other targeting methods. It is quite reliable to rely on active guidance. In the era of radar-guided tanks, this is still the case, let alone the visual inspection of this era, after the traces of the tanks were not visible, the US military carried out retaliatory bombing on the front line, mainly at the locations of those channels. In their opinion, since the Japanese side rescued the tanks, they must arrange personnel, and there were a large number, otherwise, the tanks would not be rescued in such a short time.

Unfortunately, there is still not much effect. Japan and China have prepared for a long time and have known that the United States will definitely cover the fire when it cannot deal with tanks. At this time, except for a few people commanded by tanks, hiding in the trenches and temporarily excavated anti-aircraft holes, the rest have long retreated. The seemingly wide trenches, with only a few hundred tanks and less than one oo of personnel, not to mention that they have already been hidden in the anti-aircraft holes, even if they do not, they will not cause much casualties. The thick soil layer and the unique location of the anti-aircraft holes are arranged. Even if they are direct fire from most large-caliber artillery, it has a considerable effect, let alone such purposeless scattering.

The guns lasted for 10 minutes, and even Japan did not even counterattack, allowing the American artillery to rage. But in the end, the American artillery fire stopped. Everyone knew that these artillery fires had no gains except for venting anger. Coupled with the threat of Japanese long-range artillery fire, it was enough for 10 minutes. The artillery had begun to evacuate urgently. On the front line, he stared at Delverde in front, biting his lips tightly, unable to say a word.

No wonder he couldn't say everything. He asked himself that he was a young soldier and a new force in armor. He had never suffered such a big loss. No matter whether it was the sneak attack of the team a few days ago or the setback today, it did not shake his confidence. However, this time, more than 2oo tanks were stolen under his nose. This kind of blow was simply unacceptable. He was very strange. Why could the tank, which was obviously unable to move, be taken away by Japan?

If they don’t understand this problem, many things cannot continue. Seeing that these tanks have entered Shanyin’s position, they can’t even grasp it. Delvede is already very clear that he has actually lost this batch of tanks. This is a lesson, a huge lesson. Even if the goal of this battle cannot be restored, it must be clear why.

Soon, Delvede summoned the heads of the logistics forces, who were engineers and designers of the tank production line. After trekking for thousands of kilometers, they had a deep and clear understanding of many aspects such as tank maintenance. They can be said to be the people who are most familiar with tanks.

Delvede was looking forward to their investigation. In fact, their investigation did not make Delvede lose confidence. After a brief analysis of the form of the battlefield, they finally came to a relatively unified conclusion that anti-tank trenches are unlikely to cause huge lethal effects on tanks with strong skin and flesh. At most, the tanks lose power on the battlefield and are trapped in the tank trenches and cannot move. What really causes damage to the tanks are the subsequent infantry. Those who rushed to the front of the US tanks and threw grenades and explosives packs regardless of their own safety. They will always damage the tanks the most.

The most important thing is that those infantry destroys are not the main body and motivation of the tank. The motivation of the tank is always located in the place where the tank is most protected. This is not something that the suicide attackers can destroy.

In this case, the tanks are more damaged than tracks. For the convenience of maintenance, this track is more unit-type. As long as the main structure of the entire tank is not subject to a devastating blow, the tank can be repaired, and there is no need for more complex equipment from their armored forces. As long as they know how to repair mechanically, remove some of the screws and install the intact tracks to a suitable position.

The maintenance staff told Delvede the reason in simple words. To put it bluntly, he also thought about this reason. As long as the tank repair is finished, the deep pit, or even the driver is found, it should not be complicated. For tanks of this era, as long as the ignition is successful, they can be started a few more attempts. Even because they are using the Chinese civilian motivation, the driving method of this tank is not much different from that of ordinary trucks, and this is even easier than maintenance.

Delvede was a little unacceptable. They actually gave up these things, but they were picked up by Japan. To be honest, why the US tanks, as an important force of the 6th Army, is because most of the US military's sixth Army's forces cannot deal with. Although O-vehicles do not occupy the main 84O vehicles, as long as Japan has targeted operations, it is a huge problem for the US military.

Delvede was also very helpless. He watched O tanks enter the hill, but there was no way to imagine. He could only command long-range artillery fire to attack the trenches. At least the remaining tanks could not be used anymore. In addition, the damaged tanks must be dealt with in the future, and at least the motivation to destroy the tanks should be destroyed. This should be no problem for today's results.

As for the adjutant's statement that he could use Japan to attack to get rid of the passage formed by these tanks, he thought about it and finally decided. Today, he used a huge military force, which not only did not produce any effect, but instead allowed the Japanese side to gain close to O tanks. This was a huge blow to the morale of the US military. In this case, how could he attack? Perhaps with this opportunity, he could gain a certain advantage. But next, who can guarantee that Japan has no second tank trench, would it be possible to encounter today's failure again? This is something he didn't want to see.

On the battlefield, it fell into a strange calm. After a 10-minute attack by the United States, it stopped the attack, and the Japanese side did not fight back. This time, at the forefront of the battlefield, the prisoners approached O tanks had been successfully resolved. Although the long-range artillery fire was covered, destroying the tank trenches, and destroying the wreckage of more than 100 tanks remaining on the battlefield, for now, the tanks they took were enough to make Kawasaki Mikazu form a large tank convoy. Whether it was to study and operate the armored forces of the entire Japanese 6th Army or want to counterattack, it was a good choice. (To be continued.)8
