Arc of Gunfire

Wang Zhong looked at the thing rising in the distance and frowned: "What did I hit?"

It should...can't be a nuclear bomb, right? If the enemy had nuclear bombs, we would have met the King of Hell long ago.

It could only be that the ammunition truck exploded.

The rising fireballs and mushroom clouds were Wang Zhong's first encounter with things that could not be seen from a bird's-eye view, but could be seen with the naked eye.

It seems that the shelling has hit something, so why not take advantage of the chaos in the enemy's anti-tank position to rush up and make a profit?

Wang Zhong thought for a while and finally decided not to take the risk.

He had two reasons: First, his heavy artillery hit something, which meant that the enemy had really set up anti-tank guns at these locations. This was a trap. But I am not strong enough to break through this trap.

Second, the enemy tank crews are too elite. Yesterday, some were already attacking the tracks and turret seats.

Today, relying on the preset bunkers, we finally protected the tracks and seats, and temporarily solved the problem of T34's blindness. Now the battle damage ratio is very good - no, there is no battle damage on Wang Zhong's side now.

However, the situation is different after leaving the bunker. In the melee, the elite Prosen veteran tanker will definitely have a greater advantage.

These two reasons made Wang Zhong give up his desperate plan.

Hey, why am I just being a turtle? What's wrong with me just hiding in my turtle shell and being the sixth child? Bite me if you can!

If the enemy pushes the 88 gun up, Wang Zhong will call 203 to greet it. If the 88 gun, a fixed weapon that needs to be set up, comes into view, just wait to be shot.

Without the 88 gun, the sandbags outside my armor are still 40 centimeters thick. No matter whether it is the 50mm small water pipe of No. 3 or the 75mm short fat man of No. 4, I am not afraid!

——I also have infantry cover, so I’m not afraid of the infantry rushing up to grind the meat.

The most important thing is that these more than 20 T34s are mobile forces. Even if the enemy sees that the defense line with tanks is impregnable and wants to divert the main attack direction, the tanks can quickly support it and even flank it.

The more Wang Zhong thought about it, the more he felt that he shouldn't move.

He began to think from the enemy's perspective: How should he crack a turtle shell like this?

After much deliberation, he felt that the only way was to let Stuka throw a 500 kilogram or even 1,000 kilogram "gas tank", otherwise it would be impossible to break it!

As he continued to think about it, Wang Zhong naturally thought of using smoke bombs to resist the enemy's bombing - if he couldn't see the target, he couldn't bomb it.

Not to mention the Stuka's dive bombing. On Earth, even Sandoku's Fritz Once it reaches the target, the remote-controlled bomb will most likely miss.

Then Wang Zhong thought that even if the 500-kilogram thing was not thrown on the tank, it would be quite harmful if it was thrown next to it.

It may not be able to kill all the people in the tank, but it can blow up the tank.

Even if the track is broken, the combat effectiveness of the tank will be greatly reduced.

When the tank can move, it can reverse to distance itself from the infantry, and use firepower to kill the infantry. If the immobile tank is touched by the infantry, it will become an experience baby.

Because of this, in the middle and later stages, tank crews from all sides carry submachine guns. If they find infantry approaching, they can crawl out and take a beating.

Wang Zhong understood this, and the enemy Stuka pilots probably also understood this. Would they drop bombs in the smoke?

Wang Zhong thought over and over again, and decided to think more carefully than the enemy. He moved the tanks to the reserve position, and then asked the skitarii with smoke grenades to hide near the empty tank bunkers and prepare to throw smoke grenades.

When Brother Peter heard the Stuka approaching, he used smoke to cover the empty tank bunker.

Didn't expect it, I'm on the second floor!

The key is that there is no risk in doing this. The reserve positions are carefully selected and can block the enemy. However, the range of fire is worse than that of the first position. At the same time, there is no bunker to block the weak points, and the tracks and seats may be broken.

Wang Zhong made up his mind and waved to the Skitarii priests who were standing by: "Come here quickly! I have a task for you!"

The priest came running over: "Say what you say, General!"

Judging from the priest's expression, the big fireball and mushroom cloud just in the distance obviously boosted the morale here.

Wang Zhong explained in this way, and then used the radio to call the command vehicles of each platoon to arrange for the tanks to retreat to the reserve position.

"Call the Air Force!"

Major General Franz said firmly.

"It is impossible to push the 88mm gun forward. As long as the enemy's 203 has not been counterattacked and destroyed, it is impossible for us to let the slow-expanding anti-aircraft artillery to the front line. Although we still have half of the air defense Cannons and shells, but... I don’t think that White Horse General will be fooled.”

In fact, Major General Franz made a mistake here. He suddenly thought too much of General White Horse, just like the Chief of Staff of the 15th Division yesterday.

In fact, it was not his fault. The enemy not only failed to take the bait of his well-designed ambush, but also shot back with a blind shot. As a result, the artillery shell landed in the best position for setting up an anti-tank gun for an ambush.

What does this mean? It shows that the enemy has carefully surveyed the entire battlefield and fully considered various possibilities from a counterpoint perspective!

This is the quality of a top tactician.

The key position chosen by General White Horse is exactly the same as the one chosen by Major General Franz himself. If the positions chosen by the two sides are slightly different, the bombardment will not explode anything.

This fact made Major General Franz instantly put the enemy on the same level as himself, which was quite impressive.

Of course, the major general will not admit this. After all, according to the imperial propaganda minister, Ant is an inferior nation, and Ant's generals must also be inferior. Proson will prove the superiority of the nation in the process of conquering Ant. Like when they conquered the Carolingians.

No, we must not admit that the enemy is strong, we must show contempt for the enemy.

So Franz calmed down and made amends: "Although we can also deal with these tanks in the bunker!"

The enemy tanks were in the bunker, and the retreating decoy troops had already reported it.

According to Prosen's military textbook, tank bunkers will also be dug during armored defense to protect the vulnerable parts of the tank. Although these contents have not been used by the Plosen army so far, the armored soldiers are very familiar with this set of things due to the professional level of this army.

Franz: "But! The air force is more convenient and easier to deal with! When we call for air force support, we are definitely not afraid of General White Horse and his new tanks!"

"Then..." the chief of staff in the 15th outfit asked tentatively, "The air force will probably arrive at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, maybe four o'clock. What should we do before then?"

Major General Franz gritted his teeth and said: "Do you still have to ask? Before the appearance of armored forces, we were an army that fought with artillery and infantry. We have won countless victories! We have the best infantry and artillery in Europa. ! Xu Jin barrage, infantry attack!"

————

When Wang Zhong saw Xu Jin's barrage, he was about to order the tank crew to come out and hide from the gunfire, when he saw his subordinates taking action first.

In the blink of an eye, all the tank crews hid in the cellar next to them and lay prone.

Xu Jin's barrage passed quickly. By the time Wang Zhong and the others came out of the cellar and climbed onto the tank, the fields outside the city were filled with smoke. The last wave of the enemy's Xu Jin barrage was smoke bombs!

No, this smoke...

Wang Zhong was obviously still far away from the smoke, but he still coughed and his eyes hurt! This is tear gas smoke!

In the smoke, there was the sound of a whistle.

Wang Zhong heard this sound in a World War I movie. It was the whistle when Er Dezi attacked.

The shrill whistles came one after another.

Then, one by one, the Prosin infantrymen emerged from the smoke, all wearing gas masks. The reflection of the masks looked like the eyes of hell demons.

A Skitarii machine gun had just fired a round, and then the machine gunner with tears and runny nose was stabbed by the Ploson soldier who rushed out of the stab, and he lay helplessly on the machine gun.

The Prosin pulled out his bloody bayonet, pulled out the grenade and threw it into the window next to him.

The explosion shattered the window panes, and the Skitarii guarding inside screamed.

Wang Zhong got into the tank, and he almost immediately realized that these skitarii were not the 31st Guards Regiment, and they could not beat these Ploson veterans!

But the tank in his hand is not suitable for this kind of close combat!

I was thinking about how to deal with Stuka, but I didn't expect someone to come up with a simple and unpretentious move!

The battlefield is really full of surprises and surprises!
