Chapter 493 Chapter 493
"Adjust the shooting angle of the artillery, no matter how much, directly bombard the first-line defensive positions! Try to leave those iron lumps as much as possible! If they calmly organize the next attack, the defense line may not be able to keep it.!" After hearing After the situation on the front line, General Bolton responded immediately.

He doesn't have a wide range of anti-tank weapons in his hands now, and he doesn't have tanks to counter-attack enemy tanks.

He didn't even know if the Datang Corporation had similar weapons, so naturally he didn't know how to deal with it.

However, because of his rich combat experience, he still responded immediately-at least, his troops still had many sets of tactics when dealing with the enemy's armored vehicles.

It's just that against armored vehicles, the safest tactic of digging pits to trap opponents and mobilizing mortars to blow up targets repeatedly is unlikely to work.

Judging from the description of his subordinates, the simple temporary tactic of attacking the wheels with light weapons is probably useless.

Now he can only use a more traditional and dangerous method: let the soldiers hold grenades or explosives to attack these behemoths at close range.

It's a pity that this tactic is still a temporary tactic after all, what he needs is a stronger weapon to withstand the attack of the opponent's weapon!
The first-line troops were devastated, and were beaten to the ground by the sudden appearance of the Cyric bomber. The front-line defensive position was almost instantly penetrated. The battlefield was full of huge and terrifying monsters like the Cyric chariot.

The Goblins almost thought that they were going to win this war!They have already fantasized that they can seize the lands of the former two kingdoms of Hillen and Talen, the most evolved kingdom of Dorne, and expand their industrial strength.

They all seem to have seen the dawn of becoming the Goblin Empire, the most powerful country in the world.

It's a pity that the Dorne Kingdom's shells fell like raindrops, waking up the Goblin Kingdom commanders who were still immersed in the joy of victory.

Their new weapons were effective at the beginning of the attack, but because the movement speed was too slow and the technology was too laggy, it was still a little bit worse after all.

There is no way around this: due to the scarcity of track steel and the idea of ​​protecting the tracks in the design, the off-road capability of the Cyric chariot, a behemoth, is actually very average.

The water tank with a design similar to the German A7V is actually based on a completely different design idea from the British World War I water tank.

The first idea of ​​the tanks designed by the British during World War I was to use the tracks to cross obstacles as much as possible, and cover the troops to break through the enemy's defensive positions.

Therefore, the British water tank uses a radical over-the-top track, which expands the forward angle of the tank track in order to enhance the ability of the tank to cross obstacles.

The German World War I tank design idea is similar to that of the Land Cruiser.Protect your walking mechanism as much as possible, prefer to give up part of the off-road ability, and pursue an overall defense idea.

Of course, because of technology, the German A7V tank design idea is completely wrong and inefficient, but this is understandable.

Because in the era when tanks were just born, no one could say what a tank was. Everyone had their own understanding and ideas.

When Germany is researching tanks, it is inevitable to refer to known weapon design schemes: the most thought-out idea for tanks is almost battleships.

Therefore, German designers refer to the design ideas of warships to strengthen the defense, or at least in their opinion, strengthen the defense of weapons...

The design ideas of weapons are actually inherited in one continuous line, and the root and core design ideas can be found.This root is not necessarily true, but it must be deeply buried in the bones of weapon designers and users.

Many people criticize the German tank design ideas during World War II, thinking that it is complicated and expensive, affects production capacity, and places too much emphasis on comprehensive protection.

As everyone knows, the design idea of ​​comprehensive protection was inherited from the warships of the High Seas Fleet in World War I, and it took advantage of it in the Battle of Jutland.

The German Army can rely on the simplest and cheapest way to increase the thickness of the steel plate to avoid the loss of talents, which is actually the most reasonable and optimal solution.

Those who naively thought that the Germans did not imitate the T-34, or that they did not adopt the T-34 design idea were caused by arrogance and prejudice, actually did not see the difficulties facing the Germans.

Could Germany manufacture a large number of vulnerable Santoku T-34s in World War II and consume them against the Soviet army?The answer is obviously no.It can't afford it!
Don't you see, the Luftwaffe, which was forced by the American B-17 to fight the war of attrition in the air early, persisted until 1943 and almost lay flat?

As a result, in 1945, the German army had thousands of fighter jets in the air, but there were no fuel pilots who could take these planes into the air for combat.

If the army also adopts the T-34 consumption mode, then in 1944, it is estimated that the National Defense Forces must face the problem that although they have 2000 T-34 tanks, they have all the tanks like Karus Wittmann. lost all...

Therefore, the Germans had to upgrade the defense and firepower of the T-34 tank, so as to create a tank that surpassed the T-34 tank in an all-round way to ensure that their precious crew members survived the tragic battle.

So, the artillery is stronger, the armor is stronger, and the ergonomics is stronger... Well, isn't that a zoo...

As for the doomsday decisive weapons such as the later E series, their appearance is entirely due to the emergency design of giving up their own design ideas due to the shortage of materials, which is no longer a topic of design ideas inheritance.

Therefore, in the First World War, British tanks were essentially an innovation. It was an integration of new technologies such as positional breakthrough tanks!German tanks, on the other hand, are not innovative in nature.

To put it bluntly, the idea of ​​the tank design of the Germans in World War I was: I want to get an iron shell so that it can walk on land.As for the German tanks of World War II, that's another story.

Back to the Cyric chariot in front of us, Cyric's designers are actually copying the design ideas of the battleship.

Frankly speaking, Cyric's designers have actually worked very hard to create the prototype of the tank by themselves.

But after all, they are still a little bit short, and this little bit makes their tanks a little embarrassing in today's battle situation.

The lack of speed, the slight lack of cross-country ability, and the artillery counterattack that Donne responded to was too fast, causing Goble's tank troops to suffer unexpected losses in an instant.

When a Cyric chariot was advancing on the position, it was hit by a flying shell and was directly blown into a pile of flying iron sheets.

Another chariot was also hit by a shell and ignited a raging fire. The members of the tank turned into coke before they could struggle.

Being hit by a large-caliber artillery, even a tank of the 21st century cannot guarantee the survival of the crew members, let alone the ancestor of this kind of Land Cruiser.

Later, another tank was destroyed by shrapnel because the shell exploded at close range.The huge shock killed the members of the tank and damaged the machinery, paralyzing the tank on its way forward.

Steel armor with a thickness of only a few centimeters or even one centimeter could not completely defend against the incoming artillery shells. Therefore, when Dorn's artillery counterattack began, seven or eight Goblin tanks were scrapped on the battlefield.

However, more than a dozen tanks rushed into the defense line of the Dorne defenders, but they lacked infantry cover and had to face the counterattack of the Dorne soldiers rushing from all directions.

The battle became very fierce for a while, so intense that both parties involved in the battle were a little overwhelmed.

As for the Goblins, they have been preparing for this attack for a long time, so they are naturally unwilling to give up easily.What's more, their tanks have already rushed into the enemy's position, and they only need to work harder, and victory seems to belong to them.

On Dorne's side, it is even more critical for the country's life and death. Many soldiers would rather die in battle than give an inch.They clung to their second line of defense and tried to regain their lost first line of defense by counterattacking from the flanks.

Both sides are constantly adding troops to the war zone. Goble's troops are hindered by Dorn's artillery fire and cannot expand their own results immediately. Dorn's soldiers are fighting fiercely with Goble's tanks and cannot block their own side for a while. the gap.

The two sides are coming and going, and the fight is very lively: Goblin's follow-up troops are consuming Dorne's precious shell stocks. Once the ammunition is short or the firepower is weak, then they may break through Dorne's defense line; A goblin tank that destroys the entry position, as long as they destroy these terrible guys, the follow-up enemy attack will naturally be nothing to fear.

Bullets from all directions hit the slow-moving Goblin tank, and the ammunition hit the steel plate, splashing countless sparks.

This is the case on the battlefield. Soldiers will not stop shooting because the bullets cannot penetrate the tank. They will only pour out the ammunition in their hands frantically, and find the easiest to hit or the closest to the target that threatens them the most.

No one will analyze rationally: if my bullets can't penetrate the tank, then I will go to hit other targets. In fact, they dare not do this: because no one can guarantee that the tank that they don't take care of will not Focus on yourself, and shoot over when you hit other targets.

Another reason is the general fluke mentality. No one knows whether the bullet of his own will enter the tank along the gap, and then damage the tank and stop it from advancing...

That's why there is such a miracle that a tank on the battlefield is full of bullet holes, and the paint on the surface can't even be seen.

In the midst of the hail of bullets, the goblin chariot stopped, and the machine guns fired violently in all directions, like a steel bunker embedded in the middle of the enemy's position.

Happy Army Day!May our great motherland be invincible and invincible!
