Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 555 555 Qi Army Tank
This time, Qin Xiong finally saw this weird plane with inverted gull wings, a dive bomber named Stuka.

In fact, few people in Tang Jun understand this name. Under normal circumstances, everyone thinks that this name is just a bad idea of ​​the designers of Datang Aviation Group.

In fact, these designers just continued the naming of Tang Mo's chief designer.When Tang Mo came up with the design idea for this aircraft, he left the weird word Stuka in a corner of the drawing.

After the project was approved, the engineers of Datang Group called this aircraft Stuka, as if they would call the FW-190 fighter butcher.

It was unlikely that Tang Mo would name his fighter FW-190, nor would he want to continue the name Butcher Bird—so he simply reduced one word and changed the name to Butcher.

The momentum of the Stuka dive bomber soaring into the sky is much stronger than that of the butcher. Looking at the Stuka from a distance, Qin Xiong felt his muscles tense up.

That desperate voice really left a deep impression on him, and he kind of understood why the Western Front troops hated this kind of enemy plane so much.

"Can't you shoot down that damned plane from the sky?" Depressed Qin Xiong asked while watching Stuka drop the bomb while hiding in the trench.

There is no officer in charge of air defense in the Qi army. The part-timer wiped the sweat from his forehead and explained in the same depressed way: "General...we don't have suitable weapons..."

No way, expecting the Maxim machine gun to raise the air defense, in fact, it really doesn't work.Not to mention that the Stuka itself has steel plate protection. When people dive and pull up, they have machine guns and cannons to suppress the air defense firepower. It is not enough to rely on unprofessional machine guns for air defense.

And those anti-balloon cannons purchased from Cyric can't keep up with Stuka's rotation speed at all, just like decorations.

"..." Qin Xiong was silent, he just stared at the enemy plane climbing up again in the distance, his eyes were full of envy.

If he also has such a weapon in his hand, wouldn't it be a little more sure to break through the defense line in front of him?Of course he didn't know that on the second line of the Tang army, there were actually four Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns in a company...

After a whole morning of preparation and being harassed by planes, the Qi State tank unit, which followed the Qi State 1st Army and arrived at the front line of Luozhen, was finally ready to attack and appeared in front of the two armies.

Finally, after waiting for several days, the drowsy Tang grenadiers hiding in the trenches ushered in some new tricks.

A soldier in charge of security rubbed his eyes, looked at the enemy's position in the distance again, then retracted his neck, and shouted with joy in his tone: "Here we come! The enemy is coming again!"

"Come here, why are you so happy?" A veteran who could still sleep soundly amidst the sound of rumbling guns complained disdainfully with his eyes closed.

"Tanks! Their tanks are coming up!" The sentinel was still excited and quickly explained.Hearing his explanation, the soldiers of the Tang army around them immediately cheered up.

Not kidding at all, they just lay on the edge of the position full of expectations, looking at the enemy in the distance.

Sure enough, they saw the tall enemy tank, which looked like a ship, slowly moving its huge body, approaching the Tang army's defensive position little by little.

"What the hell is this?" The soldiers of the Tang army, who were used to seeing their own tanks, frowned involuntarily.For them, Qi's tanks are... too ugly.

"Wash up and go to sleep." After being excited for a while, the soldiers of the Tang army stationed on the ground retreated into the trenches one after another, looking listless.

Because they knew that this time it seemed that it was not their turn to make a move—it was impossible for the commanders to let these tanks over to kill them infantry without anti-tank weapons, and the tank troops would definitely make a move.

As long as the flanking tank units make a move, it is almost impossible for them, the grenadiers, to go up and fight the enemy's tanks.

Sure enough, after seeing the tanks of the Qi Army, the commander of the Tang Army immediately notified the 1st Armored Division of the news.

Immediately after the tanks of the 1st Armored Division were ordered to launch, the 1st Armored Battalion with rich combat experience once again served as the main force of this counterattack.

Liu Guozhu was ordered to launch the tank, and then followed the troops again to the depression behind the reverse slope where they set off last time.

"Test! Test!" The radio operator tested the radio station that had just been repaired once, and then heard an annoying electrical interference sound.

As troops are equipped with more and more radios, this kind of interference becomes more and more obvious.When they participated in the battle before, they were scattered so quickly that they didn't notice it. Now that the Tang Army tanks are gathering on a large scale, there are more and more such current interferences.

"I...can...hear...see..." Liu Guozhu was still somewhat nervous when he could barely make out the echo of his company commander.

In the past few days, he has not been idle - he has written two reports, one is a summary of the experience of armored troops assaulting the enemy's hinterland, and the other is a case of encountering enemy anti-tank artillery attacks analyze.

To be honest, the weight of these two reports is not light, maybe even more important than him killing a third prince.

The higher-ups also attached great importance to his two reports, and ordered the entire army to promote them and compile them into tactical manuals and distribute them as soon as possible.

"Continue to adjust! If there is another problem, our train crew will become a negative teaching material for the entire army!" Liu Guozhu complained to his radio operator dissatisfied.

"I'm working hard! These damn workers, each batch of equipment is so different!" The wired communication in the car was very smooth, and the depressed voice of the electromechanical operator was very clear.

The radio is also a device that is constantly being improved in mass production. According to the needs of actual combat, many different functions have been added.

After learning from experience and lessons, the first thing Datang Group improved was the communication antenna, which was the most complained by soldiers.

The antenna on the tank is often broken because of running into the woods, and sometimes it may be broken by stray bullets, seriously affecting communication.

Therefore, the follow-up communication antennas can be laid down, and the roots are spring-buffered. These improvements also affect part of the communication quality when the technology is immature.

"Check the ammunition! Enemy tanks are approaching our frontal defensive position! We entered the battlefield from the side! Cut off their retreat and sweep across..." The company commander's voice was clearer this time, and it seemed that the adjustment had worked.

"Check the ammunition!" Liu Guozhu reminded the loader, and then heard the order to attack: "Go forward! Keep up with the No. 1 car! Pay attention to keep the communication unblocked!"

"Accelerate! Accelerate!" On the radio, the captain shouted excitedly.Accompanied by such an order, the tanks of the Tang army entered the battlefield, and the formal collision of the armored forces of the two sides kicked off.

"Stop!" Liu Guozhu shouted in shock after driving for less than 2 minutes.

He really didn't expect that the enemy had so many tanks, and these tanks... were too ugly...

After seeing these tanks, he ordered to stop, and then continued to order to his gunner: "Fire when you find the target! Don't ask me for instructions!"

Following his order, the gunner stepped on the pedal without hesitation, and the short-barreled 4mm cannon of the No. 75 tank was shot out, and the shell flew directly to a Cyric 1 tank. The tank exploded into a cloud of flames.

Gasoline engine, thousands of bullets, dozens of shells, dozens of people crowded together, and a huge fuel tank under their feet, the probability of the Cyric tank dying is really exaggerated.

"Ha!" After blasting a tank into the air, Liu Guozhu had no intention of ordering his tank to move on.

In this case, occupying the commanding heights and firing an attack seems to be easier to achieve results than rushing over.

Next to Liu Guozhu's tank, his long platoon car seemed to think the same way. Neither of their tanks had any intention of moving forward, but just stopped there and kept firing.

The loader was sweating profusely. He once again pulled a shell from the ammunition rack, pushed it into the barrel, and closed the breech block.

Almost in the next second, the artillery in the turret recoiled violently, and then the casing of a shell was ejected.

An unpleasant burning smell once again made the air in the tank more cloudy, and every breath gave Liu Guozhu an urge to cough.

He lifted the hatch above his head to allow more air to flow into the car.At this moment, his gunner fired a third round.

"Missed!" The gunner complained depressingly, and said.No way, at this level of technology, no matter how good a gunner is, it is already very good to be able to guarantee a half of the hit rate.

"Come closer!" Liu Guozhu felt that the hit rate should be increased, otherwise it would be embarrassing to run out of ammunition in a while.

"Hit grenades first! It's okay! I think grenades can kill them too." While advancing, Liu Guozhu gave advice to his gunner and loader in the bumpy tank.

And at this time, in front of them, the Qi tank commanders who were attacking the Tang army's position seemed to have spotted the Tang army tanks coming from the flank.

After a panic, the small turrets on many Qi army tanks began to rotate, and countless machine guns on the sides of the tanks also began to shoot at the Tang army tanks rushing towards them.

And Liu Guozhu and the others have narrowed the distance between the two sides to the extreme!Just now, the No. 4 tank driving in front of them has rushed through the burning wreckage of a Cyric 1 tank!

Soon, Liu Guozhu's car also passed through the billowing smoke and passed the red iron coffin that was burned by fire.
