Is it necessary to live?

Situ Lin was full of complaints, but he did not dare to delay at all, so he immediately issued a battle order.

To the north of the position, a group of scattered infantry were quietly touching the position under the cover of the night.

It looks like I'm here to search for our own survivors.

However, the battle was not over and the sky was not bright yet. Even if we came to collect the corpse, it would be a little too early.

"Each unit is kept hidden and no fire is allowed without my order." After suspicion, Situ Lin instructed the captains of several other tanks.

As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger.

During the war, there were many soldiers who would take risks for money, such as returning to the battlefield to search for valuable relics of the dead after the battle.

But the problem is that similar situations usually occur after the battle is over.

The more greedy a person is, the more afraid of death, the less he will be able to make fun of his life.

Besides, almost all the soldiers who make money are soldiers, and they mainly move alone, at most in groups of three or five, and it is impossible for them to come all in a swarm.

Anyway, this is something shameful.

After careful observation, Situ Lin always felt something was wrong.

The officers and soldiers of Xiluosha did not completely disperse, but moved in groups of three or five, and were extremely careful when marching.

Each team has three or five.

Those are anti-tank teams?

If you are equipped with heavy anti-tank missiles, you usually have a group of 5 officers and soldiers. If you use a bazooka, 3 people will be enough.

That’s right, those enemies in groups of three or five are anti-tank teams!

"All units pay attention to the approaching enemies. After the battle begins, don't launch a blind attack, try to stay behind the hills and ridges."

While Situ Lin was making arrangements, Wu Qiti stood up and drilled out of the turret.

He started to use a lot of smokescreens. Wu Qiti originally planned to take a break and then take a breath before reloading, but now it seems like a luxury.

After reloading the smokescreen, Wu Qiti did not stop. He first checked the heavy machine gun and automatic grenade launcher set up on the ring track, then returned to the turret, moved out the additional boxes of spare ammunition and placed it in a fixed position outside the turret.

The infantry that came this time, after the fight started, the heavy machine gun and automatic grenade launcher would be useful.

Subsequently, Wu Qiti also checked the parallel machine gun and prepared 2 boxes of spare bullets.

Except for the 125mm smoothbore gun, the ZT-99B's weapons are only 2 machine guns, and an automatic grenade launcher that is only installed in Astrakhan.

All of these two machine guns are 8mm heavy machine guns.

Although the Army considered that it would equip the ZT-99 with a 13mm or even 15mm large-caliber machine gun according to the ZT-80 standard, giving the ZT-99 a certain self-defense and air defense capabilities. After all, this large-caliber machine gun is mainly used to deal with low-altitude helicopters, but after comprehensive consideration, the Imperial Army gave up the idea of ​​equiping the ZT-99 with a large-caliber machine gun on the grounds of simplifying logistics.

Of course, this is also a very sufficient reason.

According to the current plan, the 15mm anti-aircraft machine gun will be gradually retired and will be directly retired. The Imperial Army will no longer retain weapons of such caliber.

The reason is also very simple, anti-aircraft machine guns are no longer useful.

Even if air defense is needed, it is a small-caliber anti-aircraft gun.

In addition, the equipment scale of the 13mm heavy machine gun will also be reduced, and it will be mainly provided to the fast anti-revolutionary forces, that is, equipped with various wheeled combat vehicles.

For many fast reaction troops, 13mm large-caliber machine guns are the most important long-range suppression firepower.

It can be seen that in the Imperial Army's equipment system, the 8mm machine gun is actually the most equipped, and it is developing towards a universal machine gun.

If you need more fierce suppression firepower, you can choose a 35mm automatic grenade launcher.

In the armored forces, there are 30mm machine guns on infantry fighting vehicles, 125mm smoothbore guns on tanks, and even artillery of various caliber.

Even in the grassroots troops, there are 82mm mortars.

Even if the team is fighting, there are still rocket launchers that do not occupy the organization, and each infantry squad has at least one gun-mounted grenade launcher.

In this way, there is actually no need to equip 13mm large-caliber machine guns in the armored forces.

Then, there is no need to prepare an additional ammunition to increase the burden of logistics support in order to allow the tank to obtain limited air defense firepower.

In addition, the practical value of large-caliber machine guns is not very high.

The heavy anti-tank missiles carried by armed helicopters have a range of more than 5 kilometers. Not to mention anti-aircraft machine guns, even small-caliber anti-aircraft guns are far from enough.

It's not reachable at all, so what's the value?

When dealing with infantry, large-caliber machine guns may not be more useful.

Due to the limit of the rate of fire and greater recoil, the suppression effect of large-caliber machine guns on infantry is not as good as that of heavy machine guns.

In addition, large-caliber machine guns have less ammunition reserves, and their firepower is far less sustained than heavy machine guns, and the burden of logistics support is much greater.

During the Boei War, the tank soldiers of the Imperial Army liked to install a heavy machine gun on the top of the turret, specifically used to deal with elusive infantry.

In order to improve the ability to suppress infantry, some tankers even chose Gatling machine guns.

That's right, under normal circumstances, the ZT-99B can carry 20,000 8mm bullets and carry 4 spare barrels. However, in actual combat, tankers will generally make full use of the space inside the vehicle body, bring more bullets, and even several assault rifles.

According to the Boei War, in complex environments, infantry is actually the most threatening to tanks!

As long as you can get close to the tank, a grenade can destroy the tank.

After making preparations, Wu Qitiet returned to the cannon leader's position.

"Don't be anxious first!"

When Wu Qiti was about to load the shells, Situ Lin reminded him.

Outside, the infantry of Xiluosha had climbed to a place less than 1,000 meters from the ridgeline, and did not continue to advance, and all of them were hidden on the spot.

As expected, they are erecting anti-tank missile launchers.

When these infantry are ready, Xiluosha's armored troops will rush up and lead the ZT-99B to show up, creating an opportunity for fire for the anti-tank team.

1,000 meters is very close to anti-tank missiles.

Apparently, the enemy learned lessons and found that only heavy anti-tank missiles could penetrate the frontal armor of the ZT-99B.

Unfortunately, the enemy obviously did not understand that the ZT-99B's infrared imaging night vision instrument can not only detect tanks, but also infantry.

As long as the night sky is clear, the observation distance of people exceeds 1,500 meters.

Because he didn't know much about ZT-99B, the commander of the Xiluosha armored force felt that the anti-tank team could quietly ambush.

"All units should pay attention and try to keep it hidden."

After saying this, Situ Lin picked up the assault rifle placed on the shelf next to him and quickly checked it.

If you really fight, you can drill out of the turret and deal with the approaching infantry, only the chariot commander is the commander, because among the three members, the driver and the turret commander are unable to do anything.

"Boss, do you think we can hold on until dawn?" Tang Xuebing suddenly asked without any reason.

Now, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Wu Qiti did not ask or look back, but the frequency of shaking his legs was obviously much faster.

When he feels nervous, he can't help but shake his legs.

If you want to say it, among the three of them, Wu Qiti is the most normal one. He has no bad habits and is very conservative.

As far as Situ Lin knows, Wu Qiti is still a virgin.

I have lived for almost 27 years and have never held a woman's hand.

"This is really hard to say, but there is one thing that's certain."

"What?"

Situ Lin smiled before saying, "When the war is over, the east and west Luosha will definitely have strong yin and yang decline. Then there will be many girls waiting for us to choose."

"If you can, I want to choose 5." Wu Qitie suddenly said.

This guy suddenly said something, which scared Situ Lin.

After walking a few laps outside the gates of hell, he could die in battle at any time. Even a conservative and introverted man like Wu Qiti has now let go.

Situ Lin can understand Wuqi Tie's mood.

If he had known it, he would have made full use of the past few years, even if he could not add a child to the Wu family, he would have to taste the forbidden fruits in the world.

"Iron head, your waist can bear it?" Tang Xuebing reacted quickly and immediately followed.

"What's wrong with my waist? Just the tank soldiers' body, let alone 5, even..."

"Attention!"

After Situ Lin reminded him, Wu Qitie shut up.

Outside, there was a sound of shells flying.

But it's not obvious.

"Bang--"

The explosion came from the air, sounding far away.
