Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 514 Novice in Exercise 514
Liu Guozhu was very satisfied with his position. It was the first time he had seen such an advanced war machine.

The No. 4 tank is indeed a giant for such a thin young man.

This tank is equipped with the most advanced communication equipment, and the frontal armor exceeds 60 millimeters. Compared with the tanks and armored vehicles of those other countries, it is completely different.

Liu Guozhu is very happy to be able to command such a tank.Even in his dreams, he dared not imagine that one day he would be able to drive steel to rampage on the battlefield.

Originally, he learned characters and skills in school, so he could choose a safer position and stay directly in the safer rear.

But without any hesitation at all, he signed up for the first conscription selection, and then became a glorious Chinese armored soldier.

And because he has been to school, can understand various terminology, can execute tactical orders, and can understand the operation manual, so he was appointed as the commander of the tank and is responsible for commanding the No. 4 tank.

When he saw this behemoth for the first time, he was frightened silly by the giant steel beast in front of him.After he really learned to command such a tank, he completely fell in love with this advanced war machine.

Frankly speaking, armor soldiers are not that easy to make, and they are not even comfortable at all.When the hatch is closed for battlefield maneuvers, the interior of the entire tank is as hot as a huge stuffy tank.

The heat of the engine churns in the narrow space, and every soldier can't help but take off his clothes and fight with his upper body naked.

Because the power of the smoking equipment is insufficient, immediately after firing the gun, there will be a choking and unpleasant smell inside the tank, which will not dissipate for a long time.

The dim interior lighting of the tank is only symbolic, and the dark ones can only rely on long-term training to adapt.

But compared to those infantry who only have one steel helmet, at least there is a thick steel plate in front of them to help them resist the bullets that are fired at them.

It is precisely because of these that the No. 4 tank has designed a total of 5 hatches, so that all members have the opportunity to poke their heads out to breathe when it is not so dangerous.

These plethora of hatch covers greatly affect the protection, but even so, the No. 4 tank is now the tank with the best defense capability in the world-no one!

It is not without benefits to open so many hatches. On the one hand, the crew can quickly escape from the tank after the tank is destroyed, and on the other hand, it is indeed convenient to replenish shells.

Compared with the first-generation No. 4 tank, Tang Mo made some basic improvements to this tank.One of them is the installation of a glove box behind the turret.

This glove box was originally installed in the subsequent improved model, but Tang Mo directly installed it on the first-generation No. 4 tank, which can provide some extra storage space for storing some less important things.

In order to keep it secret, the Tang Kingdom's armored troops were all deployed in relatively desolate areas, and there were other troops nearby for vigilance.

And in this inaccessible military restricted zone, new commanders like Liu Guozhu are tirelessly training the basic operations of tanks.

Because of the blessing of the most intuitive and experienced tank operation manual of the German Army in World War II, the armored forces of the Tang Kingdom have rich actual combat experience from the beginning.

These details were all summed up by the German army during the 6 years of brutal war. Each of them is a matter of life and death, and each of them has been verified by countless blood.

According to the regulations in the manual, each marching route needs to be carefully selected, with tanks marching on high slopes for vigilance, and reconnaissance armored vehicles that come forward to provide safety verification.

During the process of driving in a column, which tank of the army is responsible for guarding which direction.How should all tanks get out of the attacked area when encountering a sudden attack, etc.

Every item has been carefully designed, and every detail has been polished and scrutinized repeatedly. This is actual combat experience and the truth that has been honed over thousands of years.

At this moment, Liu Guozhu was watching the distance on the bumpy tank with earphones on.He pressed the throat communicator and reminded his driver: "Pay attention to the speed! There are trees in front of the left, don't break the antenna!"

"I can't see the platoon leader's car!" The driver's nervous voice came from the headset: "My vision is not very good!"

"I can still see his antenna! The terrain here is complex and not suitable for fighting!" Liu Guozhu complained while pressing the intercom: "No. 1! No. 1! I am No. 3 car! We have no vision! The shooting range is limited!"

"No. 3! No. 3! This is car No. 1! I don't think it's too good here either! Accelerate! Reverse! Reverse!" The platoon leader's hurried voice came from the headset.

"Reverse! Reverse! Get out of your seat! Quick!" Pressing the intercom and switching to the in-car channel, Liu Guozhu reminded his driver loudly.

"Wow..." The track of the No. 4 tank stopped rolling, and the whole tank shook for a while, then stopped in place.

Afterwards, Liu Guozhu's tank began to back up, and the slender communication antenna swayed with the shaking of the vehicle body.

"Damn it! It's late!" The platoon leader complained through the earphones, and then in the public channel, the referee judged that the No. 1 car was destroyed by the enemy.

"Car No. [-] was hit and caught fire! The view is blocked!" The referee of the exercise announced loudly on the channel, and Liu Guozhu could only order to continue to back up depressed.

"Avoid here, be careful on the side! There must be enemy machine gun positions on the side!" He reminded his companions, and at the same time loudly issued a combat order to the gunner: "3 o'clock direction! 3 o'clock direction!"

"No. 3, No. 3! I'm No. 2! You're about to hit me! Damn it!" Just as Liu Guozhu commanded his gunner to rotate his turret, another commander's roar came from the headset.

"Damn it! Stop! Stop!" Liu Guozhu shouted loudly while rotating the turret.Accompanied by his shout, the No. 4 tank stopped suddenly again, and the body shook slightly.

"Referee! Referee! I've aimed at the 3 o'clock direction! I'm shooting at the enemy's machine gun position with a coaxial machine gun."

"The verdict is valid! The machine gun positions set up by the enemy army have been suppressed..." There was finally good news coming from the earphones.

"No. 2! No. 2! Reverse! Make room! We have to change direction! No. 1 car has been destroyed!" Pressing the communicator, Liu Guozhu shouted loudly.

"I'm reversing! I'm reversing!" The commander of the No. 2 car seemed to be very annoyed. Their tank platoon was really out of luck during the exercise.

First, the No. 4 car was randomly judged to be poorly maintained and paralyzed, and was sentenced to leave the battle. Then, the No. 5 car was judged to have crushed a mine and was damaged on the way to attack.

The ill-fated man finally arrived at the battle site, but fell into a passive position due to the terrain, and the No. 1 car was reimbursed by the enemy after entering the position.

"Turn around! Follow me! Let's crash from the side of the position!" Turning the front of the car in a spacious place, Liu Guozhu discussed with the driver of No. 2 car.

"I'll listen to you!" The driver of No. 2 car was also a novice, and he had no idea at this time. He heard that someone was taking the lead, so he was naturally willing to follow.Anyway, it's a drill, if you beat it well, you won't lose your life, right?
After finally bypassing the mound, the eyes finally opened up a lot. Through the gap of the observation window in front of him, Liu Guozhu finally grasped the situation of the battlefield!

"11 o'clock direction! 11 o'clock direction! An enemy tank!" He reminded his gunner loudly, and then ordered his driver: "Turn! Face the enemy head-on! Face the enemy head-on!"

After issuing two orders, a thought suddenly flashed in Liu Guozhu's mind: it is impossible for the opponent's tank to leave its side to such an open field!

In a blink of an eye, he immediately changed his order: "Stop rotating the turret! Stop! Look carefully at the flanks! Look carefully! They must have a tank covering at 2 o'clock! Attention! Car No. 2! Car No. 2! Did you see anything? Did you see anything?"

"I didn't see anything except the bushes, I didn't see anything!" The driver of the No. 2 car became nervous and kept looking for possible targets.

"Car No. 2 was destroyed! Stop! Out!" The referee's voice came, and Liu Guozhu knew that he was the only rookie left.

"2 o'clock direction! Suspected of camouflaging bushes, coaxial machine gun fire to confirm the target!" Liu Guozhu reported his actions loudly.

"...The shooting is effective, and the camouflage is confirmed." After a brief silence of 2 seconds, the referee announced loudly.

"Fire!" Liu Guozhu immediately ordered his gunner, who also shouted loudly over the radio: "Fire!"

"The attack judgment is valid!" This time there was no pause, the referee immediately announced: "An enemy tank was destroyed..."

"10 o'clock direction! 10 o'clock direction!" After eliminating the threat on his right, Liu Guozhu immediately ordered to turn the turret.

It's a pity that he was still a step too late, and the referee's penalty came from the earphones: "You were hit, you are out!"

"Damn it!" Liu Guozhu hammered the tail of the cannon on the side hard with his hand, very dissatisfied with his performance.

All 3 tanks on my side were wiped out, and only one tank from the opponent was knocked out. This seems like a disastrous defeat.

"It's a good fight!" Who knew that on the radio side, his platoon leader looked very open, because the exercise was over, so he simply encouraged him directly by radio: "It's already very good to be able to destroy a tank on the opposite side. gone."

Liu Guozhu didn't react, he was stunned for a moment, and then lifted the hatch above his head, just in time to see the imaginary enemy tank covered with vegetation disguised as bushes in the distance also lifted the hatch.

The other party gave him a thumbs up very friendly.
