Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 722 722 is farther

Sometimes weapons that are too advanced are not all good things for frontline soldiers. The sharp decrease in the sense of participation is actually a very serious problem.

Turning a battle into a beachhead game is every soldier's dream, because lives are the most important thing.

But the reduced sense of participation is also a really boring thing: just like Liu Guozhu at this moment, he feels that the battle in front of him is a bit boring.

He didn't even make too many decisions, he just helped the gunner find the next target, and then looked for another target after the gunner opened fire...

To them, the game is like a super realistic beach landing game, fixed on a turret, and use a powerful cannon to destroy the swarming enemies.

"Missed!" Seeing that his artillery had deviated from the target, the gunner yelled regretfully. There was no tension in his tone, and it was full of regret.

As the tanks of the Dahua troops directly ahead were destroyed one after another, the angle between them and the tanks of the enemy's attacking troops gradually increased.

So aiming becomes difficult, because the forward speed of the enemy tank must be calculated in advance.So their shells started to miss, and it took almost two or three shots to destroy a target.

After all, they don't have a cross-wind sensor or a ballistic computer. All operations need to rely on the gunner's personal shooting experience and the 5x magnification precision sight in front of him.

This is a technical job, but anyone who has played shooting games knows that it is very difficult to shoot an early shot in the scope.

Because you need to judge the distance between the opponent and you as quickly as possible. This is an empirical work. You need to refer to the scale on the scope and compare it with the actual size of the target to quickly calculate an approximate distance.

On modern main battle tanks, this work is usually done instantly by the laser rangefinder, but in this era, it is the little head behind the gunner's eyes that does this work.

After the distance is determined, the advance is estimated with reference to the relative speed of the opponent. This also requires experience and calculation, and also relies on the experience of the gunner to operate freely.

Just like an old player in a shooting game, the moment you open the scope, you start to shoot according to your experience. The probability of first hit is not high, and the correction depends entirely on your experience.

What's more, the enemy is unlikely to maintain a constant forward speed, even if it is only passive deceleration or turning due to terrain factors, it will affect the hit rate after the shells are blasted out.

God knows whether these advancing Dahua tanks will slow down because of a stone in front of them, or suddenly change their direction to avoid friendly forces...

In short, it is basically impossible to bombard an enemy tank with two artillery shells. If you do it, you can only say that you are lucky.

The only situation that can guarantee the accuracy of the hit is that the two sides are relatively stationary, so the enemy tank that attacks the enemy tank that is directly in front of you has the highest hit rate.

Under normal circumstances, gunners and tank commanders will first choose to fire on enemy tanks facing their own tanks, because it is easy to hit and can also destroy the most threatening target to their own tanks!After all, those targets that are not easy for you to hit, they are not easy to hit you either!

So for a World War II-era tank, the rate of fire is actually a very important performance indicator. Therefore, the IS-2 tank that uses divided ammunition is definitely not a good tank. Its rate of fire can be described as cheating.

Moreover, its ammunition stock is only a pitiful 28 rounds. Excluding the pitiful school firing consumption, it is estimated that only one-third of the shells that can really hit the target are estimated.

This means that the continuous combat capability of the IS-2 tank is extremely poor. The only more reliable winning tactic is to use a 122mm caliber artillery to kill in one hit.

However, combined with the Soviet tank tactics that had already taken advantage in the middle and late stages, the IS-2 relied on its high blood pressure to go up to resist the line and cover the T-34 to submerge the German army. Therefore, these shortcomings are not obvious in actual combat.

The members of Liu Guozhu's car crew are all veterans. They have experienced the Battle of Qi, and their cooperation has been quite tacit.The gunner's actual combat experience is very rich, and he has also conducted a lot of actual combat shooting training after switching to the Leopard tank, so his skills are quite excellent.

He calmly adjusted the turret of the Leopard tank, re-aimed at the target, and aimed the slender barrel at the Dahua tank in the distance again.

In the next second, he stepped on the pedal again, fired a cannonball, and accurately hit a shell on the hull of the Dahua tank.

There was another burst of flames, and another tank of the Great Hua Empire was paralyzed on the battlefield.Because the 75mm caliber long-barreled artillery is so powerful that it is enough to ensure that it can directly penetrate its target at any angle.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer, and the Lion armored reconnaissance vehicle that had not fired and was hiding on the flank suddenly fired a shot, destroying the Dahua tank that was trying to approach the village in a detour.

This completely disrupted the position of the Dahua Tank Troops, because they had already encountered a powerful and outrageous opponent in the front. At this time, the lion-type armored reconnaissance vehicle that opened fire became the last straw that broke the camel's back .

"They stopped! I aimed!" The gunner sitting in front reported what he saw to Liu Guozhu behind him.In the next second, the body of the Leopard tank shook slightly. It was the vibration caused by a 90mm shell hitting the upper armor of the Leopard tank.

The muzzle velocity of this shell was quite low, so it was easily bounced off by the inclined armor. The shell left a dark scratch on the armor, and then it flew to nowhere.

Soon, the gunner retaliated against the enemy who fired at his tank, and the Leopard tank shot out, piercing the Dahua tank that was standing there to reload its shells.

The gasoline engine of the Dahua tank exploded. The tragic explosion and expanding flames engulfed the crew members inside the tank, and none of them escaped.

The power system of the Tangguo Leopard tank equipped with a new diesel engine is quite safe, with high torque and is not easy to die. The only disadvantage is that the central drive shaft is maintained, and all power is not rear-mounted.

However, this little defect is actually not serious, because in theory it only increases the overall height of the Panther tank, but it balances the center of gravity in a sense.

Of course, the overall rear of the power pack is the mainstream trend, so the Leopard tank is also the last tank that Tang Mo brought out with a "mellow German bloodline".

"Have we been hit?" The electromechanical operator sitting in the front row was a little nervous. In theory, his sitting position was the most dangerous place on this tank.

If a shell just hit the curved shield of the Leopard tank and hit the nest area below, it is very likely to penetrate the hatch above his head and kill him.

And the place where he is sitting is still directly in front, and the upper armor is one of the parts of the tank that is most likely to be hit, which is very disturbing.

What is even more frustrating is that in order to find him some work, he also opened a window in the front armor, which is the only opening in the upper armor of the Leopard tank: he has a heading machine gun, which is usually used to control the machine gun kill the enemy...

"Yes, we were hit...but the tank is fine!" Liu Guozhu looked at the situation on the battlefield through the gap in the observation window of the tank.

He saw that the enemy tanks had begun to reverse, and the infantry following the tanks were also retreating.These Dahua soldiers dragged their wounded comrades and retreated like a tide.

Liu Guozhu heaved a sigh of relief, he knew that they had almost run out of ammunition during the less than an hour of fighting just now.

The Leopard tank has a total of 79 rounds of shells, and they fired a total of 63 rounds just now. To be honest, this number is already very amazing.

There were burning tank wrecks everywhere on the battlefield, none of which belonged to Tang.After the air force had an exaggerated 200-0 record, Tang's army also began to show its might.

Just now, almost 50 or more Dahua tanks were destroyed in this narrow-minded tank battle. It can be said that more than one reorganized tank battalion was wiped out by a tank and an armored reconnaissance vehicle of the Tang Army.

The Panther tank commanded by Liu Guozhu alone destroyed at least 35 tanks, which can be said to have been performed at a super level.

An average of less than two shells destroyed a tank. This figure is definitely worth bragging about - this is mainly because at the very beginning, the formation of a dozen Dahua tanks rushing forward was too dense, and the angle Very good, so let Liu Guozhu's team improve the hit rate.

Later, the battle distance between the two sides was shortened a lot, which allowed Liu Guozhu and the others to take advantage of it.

Liu Guozhu stared at the retreating enemy army, and muttered absently, "They're retreating!"

"Hurry up and refill the ammunition..." The loader, who was already out of shape with exhaustion, was the poorest wretch in the car.He has no strength to speak now, but just now he loaded 63 shells in one breath.

Sweat drenched his military uniform. At this moment, he was already slumped in the tank, and he didn't even want to stand up.

"Take a break, and let the electromechanical engineer and the driver follow me to refill the ammunition." Liu Guozhu also knew that his loader had just died, so he comforted him.

The company's ammunition replenishment vehicle was coming, but they had to retreat to the other side of the village and find a hidden place to replenish the spent ammunition-this was a requirement of the regulations, in order to prevent the enemy from shelling.

After Liu Guozhu and the others replenished their ammunition, the main force of the tank battalion had arrived, and they brought a whole combat team with them.

Then the Tang army launched a counterattack, broke through the defense line of the heavily damaged Dahua army, and captured the villages further west in one breath.

The battle lasted until nightfall, and the commander of the Dahua troops who rushed over found helplessly that after their counterattack, they were even farther away from Wangchun City...
